A Special Meeting of the City Commission of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was called to order by Mayor Thomas E. Lynch in the
First Floor Conference Room at City Hall at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday,
February 13, 1996.
Roll call showed:
Present - Commissioner Jay Alperin
Commissioner Ken Ellingsworth
Commissioner David Randolph
Commissioner Barbara Smith
Mayor Thomas E. Lynch
Also present were City Manager David T. Harden and City Attorney
Susan A. Ruby.
Mayor Lynch called the meeting to order and announced that it
had been called for the purpose of considering the following items:
(1) Appeal of Historic Preservation Board Decision. Consider a
request from the Leviathan Land Group for voluntary dismissal of the
appeal to the Historic Preservation Board decision of December 20,
1995.
William S. Weisman, Esq., attorney representing the appellant
Leviathan Land Group, Inc. concerning the properties located at 2
East Atlantic Avenue and 11 South Swinton Avenue, informed the
Commission that the issue has been resolved. Revised plans were
presented to the Historic Preservation Board on February 7, 1996, at
which time the Historic Preservation Board approved the revised
plans. That action renders the appeal moot and Leviathan Land Group,
Inc. has accordingly requested that the appeal be voluntarily
dismissed.
The Commission accepted the appellant's voluntary dismissal of
the appeal.
(2) Resolution No. 14-96. Consider a resolution to allow the
Community Redevelopment Agency to condemn certain property.
Bill Doney, attorney representing the Community Redevelopment
Agency, stated that Resolution No. 14-96 authorizes the CRA to
proceed with eminent domain actions against the property described in
the resolution, that being the Delray Executive Mall property
including the structure itself as well as the two lots to the rear
which are currently parking. The affected property includes Lots 1,
2, 3, 8 and 9 of Block 77, Town of Delray Plat. By law, the
Community Redevelopment Agency may only acquire property by eminent
domain upon approval of the City Commission, and that is the purpose
of Resolution No. 14-96. By their Resolution No. 96-1, passed and
adopted on February 8, 1996, the CRA Board has requested that the
City Commission authorize them to proceed with this action.
Dr. Alperin moved to adopt Resolution No. 14-96, seconded by Mr.
Ellingsworth. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs.
Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph
- Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
(3) Purchase Order Addition to Hydro PUm_DS. Inc. Consider the
purchase of vertical pumps for Hydro Pumps, Inc. to be used for the
pump stations at Waterway Lane, Seasage Drive, and Beach Drive/
Seaspray Avenue, in the amount of $54,413, with funding from 448-
5411-538-63.34.
The City Manager stated this is for the purchase of pumps for
some of the stormwater pump stations which are being built east of
the Intracoastal Waterway. The pump stations themselves are in
various stages of design getting ready to go out to bid, and there is
quite a bit of lead time needed on the pumps. The City purchased the
pumps for the two pump stations which were built recently. These are
the same size, and we would like to get them on order so that by the
time the bids are awarded the pumps will be delivered or close to
delivery and the projects will not be slowed down.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve the purchase of vertical pumps
for the barrier island pump stations in the amount of $54,413,
seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph -
Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes. Said motion passed with a
5 to 0 vote.
There being no further business, Mayor Lynch declared the
special meeting adjourned at 6:08 p.m., at which time the Commission
convened the regularly scheduled workshop meeting.
