Missie Barletto, Director of Public Works, presented the Marine Way
Improvement Project. In 2017, in Phase l, the Conceptual Design was
created to prevent flooding from rainfall events in the following three areas
Page 1City of Delray Beach Printed on 12/2/2020
August 18, 2020City Commission Minutes - Final
of the City:
· Veterans Park: Completed
· The City Marina: Scheduled to be completed within the next few
months
· Marine Way: Proven to be the most challenging
Ms. Barletto requested direction from the Commission to proceed with the
Phase l, Conceptual Design for Marine Way, which entails:
· Engineering Design - three years: Raising the height of the seawall
to 3.9. feet and creating a pathway connecting Veterans Park to the
City Marina.
· Grants: Applying for funding from Florida Inland Navigation District
and other grant opportunities.
· Permitting - one year: Coordination with the United States Army
Corps, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida
Inland Navigation District, South Florida Water Management
District, Florida Department of transportation, City of Delray Beach.
A website is available for residents to keep up with the Marine Way project.

Ms. Barletto highlighted the Stormwater Pump Station specifications and
proposed the following improvements:
· Protecting Mangroves
· Drainage
· Signage
· Landscaping
· Seawall
She informed the Commissioners that the City met with the Florida Inland
Navigation District (FIND) to discuss their grant opportunities. Ms. Barletto
said that with the permission of the Commission, the City could apply for
the (FIND) grant.
Mayor Petrolia commended the Public Works Department for their hard
work. She asked Ms. Barletto how the dock owners would get over the
seawall.
Ms. Barletto explained they are allowed to remove the marginal dock
because the property is privately owned and permitted. Therefore, the
City is not required to have an ADA compliant design. Dock owners are
aware that they will need to create their own access points from the seawall
to their properties.
Vice Mayor Boylston was interested in adding benches and relaxation
Page 2City of Delray Beach Printed on 12/2/2020
August 18, 2020City Commission Minutes - Final
areas to the project. Ms. Barletto commented that Public Works planned to
make the path aesthetically pleasing and minimize traffic on the roadway.
Deputy Vice Mayor Johnson believed that the dock owners should be
accountable for any damage to the seawall when building their access
points. Mayor Petrolia stated the City would most likely have a Hold
Harmless Agreement in place. City Attorney Gelin confirmed that they
would implement the agreement.
Ms. Barletto requested a consensus from the Commission to decide
whether to permit the City’s request to apply for grant funding for the Marine
Way Improvement Project and allow the City to start acquiring permits and
start the design.
There was consensus to move forward.

present.
Ms. Simon requested the Commissioner's approval for the Re-Open Task
Force to act on the following recovery items:
· Distance dining in Old School Square
· Lobbyists to advocate on behalf of the restaurants
· Advocate at the state and county level for rent assistance for the
City's commercial and residential properties.
· Create pop-up parklets to extend the sidewalks for dining and assist
with business retention.
· Develop vacant storefronts and windows to make the streets more
appealing.
7.H.
Ms. Simon believed that acting on these items would be essential to
provide aid to the City. Deputy Vice Mayor Johnson favored the task
force's ideas, and she wanted to discuss them further during a workshop.
Her only concern was the responsibility of sanitizing the outdoor dining
locations. Ms. Simon explained the safety plan for outdoor dining. She
mentioned that the project would be funded and operated by the DDA.
Commissioner Casale asked about the Community Redevelopment
Agency's (CRA) involvement in the project. Ms. Simon believed that the
CRA would help obtain a consultant that can create the businesses'
parameters and guidelines.
Vice Mayor Boylston thanked Ms. Simon for her diligence. He favored the
plan and hoped that City Staff would receive the directive to implement
these plans right away. He wanted to provide opportunities to the
businesses to keep parklets open post-COVID-19.
Commissioner Frankel favored all the ideas discussed. He asked staff to
review Former Commissioner Jarjura's ideas in the correspondence he
had sent them.
Ms. Renee Jadusingh from the CRA said they are invested in moving
forward with these plans and scheduled a September meeting.
City Attorney Gelin said that Mr. England requested the Commissioners
to extend the valet parking program. Vice Mayor Boylston asked to
discuss this item further at another time. Ms. Gelin informed the
Commissioners that the valet pilot program would end tomorrow.
There was consensus to grant the task force permission to act on all 6 items.

Rosa was the last vendor to request excusal of payments based on the
invocation of force majeure contractual provisions. The restaurant asked for
excusal of valet parking payments for March, April, and May. Ms. Kalka
requested direction from the Commissioners because the emergency order
lasted longer than the City initially predicted. She added that Ocean
Services had paid their bills since they have been operational.
Ms. Kalka also requested direction on the two letters received from the
Grove Restaurant and Taverna Opa, who wished for excusal payments until
the end of the year. Commissioner Frankel was hesitant about waiving fees
until the end of the year. There was consensus to deny their excusal
requests at this time.
Mayor Petrolia favored the excusal of payments for Café Luna Rosa for
March, April, and May since they did not have business operations during
that time.
Mayor Petrolia motioned to approve the excusal payment for Café Luna
Rosa. It was seconded by Deputy Vice Mayor Johnson. The motion carried

Mr. Matthew Scott, Attorney Dunay, Miskel, and Backman, 14 SE 4th
Street, Boca Raton, gave a presentation on behalf of the (applicant) Tin
Roof Acquisition Company. He highlighted the proposed rise to text

They collaborated with the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and
restaurant owners in the community to create a solution. Ordinance
No.30-20 would allow restaurant owners to use their establishments as a
restaurant-bar hybrid after 10:00 p.m. under certain conditions. Restaurants
would also be required to go through an application process.

analysis. The ordinance would establish a new conditional use for
restaurants in specific zones. City Boards have had mixed feelings on the
issue.
· On July 1, 2020, the Historic Preservation Board recommended
denying the request by a vote of 7-0.
· On July 13, 2020, the DDA recommended supporting the initiative
by a vote of 7-0.
