Deborah Schwartz, residing at 115 NE 12th Street, requested that the

requested the Commissioners to keep the building as a historic structure.

to place a memorial statue in the City in his honor.
Sean Englehart, residing at 710 Southwest 27th Terrace, Boynton Beach,
requested the Commissioners to allow outdoor seating for bars and
restaurants in Delray Beach.
Amanda Scott, a frequent visitor of Delray Beach, expressed her support
for allowing outdoor usage for bars and restaurants during COVID-19.
Clinton Jones, asked the Commissioners to commemorate a statue in
honor of his son Cory Jones on October 18, 2020. Cory was a beloved
member of the Delray Beach community and was senselessly killed by a
police officer five years ago. Mr. Jones believed that the statue would serve
as a powerful symbol in the City for racial justice and keep Cory's legacy
alive.

American restaurant to a commercial core area.

All American restaurant as a commercial core area.

believed the proposed building would be out of place in the area due to its
mass and size and that Doc's All American restaurant should continue to be
a standalone building.

Fort Lauderdale, requested the Commissioners to observe October 18 as

City Attorney Gelin informed the Commissioners about an email from

allegation that Mayor Petrolia provided him a list of 29 properties in an
attempt to obtain additional tax revenue. City Attorney Gelin expressed her
concern because the list of properties was never provided to her.

previously denied proposals related to the properties would be invited to
represent their projects before the Commission to avoid prejudice or bias.
She reviewed the Quasi Judicial rules and conflict of interest policy with the

in Mayor Petrolia’s possession.
