associated with the Florida A&M University Marching Band matter.
The City Attorney stated that the various contracts and
agreements are outlined in Mr. Weiner's letter of September 1st,
and include the contract with Florida A&M University, the con-
tract with Atlantic High School, pledge agreement, and a contract
with Annett Bus Lines. If the agreements are approved, then
direction needs to be given regarding ticket sale monies. Mr.
Weiner has recommended that all ticket sale monies be placed in a
City account with Lula Butler as a designated signatory on the
account and all funds forwarded to her attention.
Michael Weiner, attorney, reported that Mrs. Charlotte
Durante had just given him a report showing that another $1,000
has been raised in terms of pledges. He noted that this makes a
total of $11,500 worth of pledges raised towards the band. The
costs that the City would assume are included in the budget in
the total amount of $36,213.00. The Perfect Harmony Festival
Committee expects that this amount will be offset by pledges
(when collected) and ticket sales.
Charlotte Durante, representing the Perfect Harmony
Festival, stated in terms of ticket sales, Lula Butler is coordi-
nating the distribution of the tickets and arrangements have been
made as to how those tickets will be distributed for sale. Two
businesses will be outlets for ticket sales in addition to the
City, Pompey Park and the Chamber of Commerce.
On question from Vice Mayor Ellingsworth, Mr. Weiner
stated that in addition to a local community network for ticket
-5- 9/5/95
sales, the event will also be promoted by radio stations WPOM and
WYFX (Foxy radio).
Dr. Alperin suggested that there might be an advantage
to charging a higher price for tickets at the gate than if they
are bought beforehand. If the price is the same, more people may
wait until the last minute to buy a ticket. Mr. Weiner and Mrs.
Durante felt this was a good idea and suggested a ticket price of
$7.00 in advance and $8.00 at the door.
After discussion, Dr. Alperin moved to approve the
Budget for the Florida A&M University Delray Performance Commit-
tee, the contract with Florida A&M University Marching "100"
Band, the contract with Atlantic High School, Pledge Agreement,
and contract with Annett Bus Lines; seconded by Mr. Randolph.

sion to formalize a funding commitment for the South County
Convention Center. He further explained that the City can wait
to see what the County will decide and if the County decides to
indeed locate the facility at the South County site, then the
City would enter into a formal contractual agreement with the
County.
Dr. Alperin moved to approve a commitment to provide
funding support in the amount of $50,000 per year for twenty
years from General Fund revenues (non-ad valorem) beginning

the last six months to finalize the required agreements for the
Pine Grove Park/Playground project. The Master Agreement is a
general School Board Agreement for joint use of facilities; the
addendum is site specific to this project. The addendum covers

struction management. Staff recommends approval of the Master

asking the City for permission to include the City of Delray
Beach logo (along with the All-America City and Chamber logos) on
the Delray Worldwide Web site.
-7- 9/5/95
Vice Mayor Ellingsworth asked if some type of an escape
clause could be included which would allow the City to terminate
the use of the logo at any time if there were to be any problems,
such as unauthorized downloading, etc.? The City Manager stated
that the City could write a letter to the Chamber of Commerce
stating that the City reserves the "right to withdraw" at any
time.
After discussion, it was the consensus of the Commis-
sion to direct the City Attorney's office to look into register-
ing the City's logo or obtaining some kind of trademark protec-
tion.

ber of Commerce for use of the City's logo on the Delray World-

through September 1, 1995.

the regular agenda due to his concerns about the Site Plan Review
and Appearance Board's approval for the Kokomo Key project. He
feels that the adjustments approved by the Board allow the devel-
oper to maximize the number of units while reducing the quality,

City consider looking into electronic payment of water bills.

ordinance from the City of Ocean Ridge and asked about the feasi-
bility of Delray Beach doing a similar program where the City
handles the entire operation. Also, Mr. Kamarata distributed
photographs of medians in Gainesville, Florida, which are adopted
for maintenance by corporate sponsors. He felt the City of
Delray Beach might want to consider such a program.
11.B.3. Richard Parker, owner of Parker's Kitchen, expressed
concern over the restricted parking in front of his business in
the 700 block on West Atlantic Avenue. No parking is allowed
between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m; however, the City
allows parking on Atlantic Avenue in front of the Tennis Center
and West Side Liquors. He feels this is unfair and thinks the
"no parking" sign in front of the restaurant has hurt business.

which would add five parking spaces.

the City Manager for further discussion.

iow, and asked that the towing contract be put on hold until it
is looked at more closely. A copy of Mr. Zuccala's comments is
attached hereto and incorporated herein as an official part of
the minutes.

behalf of the N.E. 1st Court homeowners, he is proposing recon-
sideration of the abandonment on N.E. 1st Court. He feels there
was not fair representation of these residents at the August 8th
regular meeting.
After discussion, it was the unanimous consensus of the
Commission to schedule this item for a reconsideration on October
10, 1995.
11.B.6. Kevin Widmer, 815 N.E. 1st Court, is also opposed to
the abandonment of N.E. 1st Court. He expressed concern over the
City allowing this to happen.

of confidence and recognized the entire staff in her office.

fireworks display. However, he was extremely disappointed by the
negativity of the article written in The News. Secondly, he
commented on an article regarding Old School Square and the
downtown area in the September issue of Historic Preservation
magazine. It is impressive that Delray Beach is being recognized
so frequently.
13.C.2. Mrs. Smith, too, commented that she felt the fireworks
were outstanding.
Mrs. Smith asked about how Delray would clean up after
a major hurricane. The City Manager stated the City would be
responsible for clearing the debris from the streets. Mrs. Smith
asked the City Manager if this is currently in the budget? The
City Manager stated there is no money budgeted for this and that
is one of the reasons the City is accumulating a surplus in the
sanitation fund. Furthermore, the City Manager stated there are
arrangements made with contractors like Hardrives to provide the
City with additional equipment if needed.
13.C.3. Mr. Randolph
Mr. Randolph had no comments or inquiries.

(407) 737-1212
SEPTEMBER. 5, 1995
DISTINGUISHED MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF DELRAY BEACH
MY NAME IS DREW ZUCCALA, I OWN AND OPERATE ZUCCALA WRECKER SERVICE
INC. MY COMPANY HAS BEEN THE PRESENT CONTRACTOR FOR TOWING
SERVICES IN DELRAY BEACH FOR THE PAST 6 YEARS. MY COMPANY HAS
EXCLUSIVELY OPERATED IN THE DELRAY AND 80YNTON AREA FOR THE PAST 18
YEARS. I WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION INFORMATION
REGARDING THE UPCOMING BID FOR THE TOWING CONTRACT.
· POINT #1 - WHY WOULD THE CITY ALLOW A TOWING CONTRACTOR TO BE ABLE
~' TO STORE CARS AS FAR AWAY AS THE BROWARD COUNTY LINE?
POINT #2 - WHY WOULD THE CITY REWORD THEIR CONTRACT TO MAKE IT
~ EASIER FOR A CONTRACTOR TO QUALIFY - SPECIFICALLY IN
· REGARDS TO THE TRUCK SIZE AND NUMBER OF TRUCKS REQUIRED?
~-' POINT #3 - WHY IS THE CITY REQUIRING THE CONTRACTOR TO TOW CITY
.~ VEHICLES FOR FREE WHEN THE CITIZENS OF DELRAY BEACH HAVE
TO PAY? THE CONTRACTOR RECEIVES NOTHING REGARDING THESE
FREE SERVICES.
~. IN CLOSING, THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH IS GROWING BY LEAPS AND
BOUNDS. IT SHOULD BE STRENGTHENING ITS REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CITY
TOWING CONTRACT NOT WEAKENING THEM. THE CONTRACTOR SHOULD AT LEAST
BE REQUIRED TO PAY TAXES IN THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH. HOW CAN WE
" .EXPECT THE CITIZENS OF DELRAY BEACH TO TRAVEL AS FAR AS THE 8ROWARD
COUNTY LINE TO RECOVER THEIR VEHICLES?
I HOPE THE COUNCIL WILL SEE THESE POINTS AS MAJOR DEFICIENCIES AND
TABLE THE TOWING CONTRACT FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION.
· SINCERELY,
.- DREW ZUCCALA
