resource for all the children and adults in Palm Beach County.
The Friends of Sandoway was formed last May as a neigh-
borhood group and is now comprised of community leaders from all
the municipalities in south Palm Beach County. Ms. Patton then
reviewed a conceptual site plan for the use of the Sandoway House
as a nature center. She stated the target opening date for the
nature center is June 1, 1997. She stated the group will raise
approximately $225,000 between now and December of 1996 through
sponsorship of rooms by corporations, gifts in kind from contrac-
tors, etc., and also gifts of cash.
Ms. Patton requested the Commission's support for this
project, including designation by the City Manager of a staff
member to serve as liaison to her group and assistance from the
City Attorney in drafting and negotiating an agreement for use of
the property.

follows: Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch
- Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
9. REGULAR AGENDA:
9.A.A. GOVERNMENTAL UNIT AGREEMENT/CHILDREN'S SERVICES COUNCIL
OF PALM BEACH COUNTY: Consider the Governmental Unit Agreement
between the City Parks and Recreation Department and the Chil-
dren's Services Council of Palm Beach County to provide struc-
tured recreational, leisure, cultural, and educational after-
school activities to 300 elementary age children who live in
Delray Beach.
In response to question from Dr. Alperin, Joe Dragon,
Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that the City
had received this contract from the Children's Services Council
on Monday, September 18, 1995. Further, the CSC wants the signed
contract back to them by next Monday, September 25th. The City
Attorney advised that she has not seen the contract.
Dr. Alperin stated he has a conceptual problem with
signing any kind of a contract with the Children's Services
Council since he is not comfortable that the CSC legally repre-
sents the City nor has the CSC been elected by the City. The CSC
-5- 9/19/95
is collecting the City's tax money and is making a determination
on how the money should be spent in the community without ade-
quately consulting the City. Dr. Alperin stated he cannot sup-
port simply because of principle and feels the City should demand
to the State that we be given our share of the funds to be spent
as we see fit to meet the needs of our community.
Discussion by the Commission followed. While the rest
of the Commission supports Dr. Alperin's position, concern was
expressed that if the City does not sign the agreement, the City
will lose the $98,000 which was granted by the CSC for the After
School Program. Concern was also expressed about receipt of the
contract on such short notice, with demand for approval without a
reasonable period of time for review.
Mr. Randolph expressed concern about some of the word-
ing in the contract and his feeling that the CSC could find fault
enough not to want to fund the City next year. However, as far
as the immediate program is concerned and the end result being
the children, he feels the City should execute the contract this
year and vigorously pursue bringing this type of super authority
situation to the attention of the appropriate people starting
with the governor.
Mayor Lynch felt it would not be unreasonable to agenda
this item for the first regular meeting in October to give staff
enough time to evaluate the contract. Robert Barcinski, Acting
City Manager, expressed concern that if the City does not submit
this contract back to the CSC on time, the CSC will drop the City
from the program and the City will lose the money for this year.
Mr. Barcinski stated that he felt Commissioner Randolph
had a good solution, that being to proceed, but under protest
that staff did not have sufficient time to review the contract,
and also to look at those issues which need to be addressed at a
higher level as it relates to how the Children's Services Council
operates.
At this point, Dr. Alperin moved to deny the Governmen-
tal Unit Agreement contract with the Children's Services Council
of Palm Beach County. This motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Randolph moved to approve the Governmental Unit
Agreement with the Children's Services Council of Palm Beach
County, with the stipulation that it is signed under protest and
that the City pursue every available avenue to address the issues
with the Children's Services Council at higher levels, seconded
by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - No; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr.
Alperin No; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes. Said motion passed with a
3 to 2 vote.
9.A. APPEAL OF SITE PLAN REVIEW AND APPEARANCE BOARD DECI-
SION/KOKOMO KEY: Consider an appeal of the Site Plan Review and
-6- 9/19/95
Appearance Board's approval of the site plan and building eleva-
tions associated with the construction of a 133 unit townhouse
development, Kokomo Key, located on the east side of U.S. Highway
No. 1, south of the Swap Shop.
The City Attorney stated this item will be conducted as
a Quasi-Judicial Hearing.
The City Clerk swore in those individuals wishing to
give testimony on this item.
Diane Dominguez, Planning Director, entered the depart-
ment file for this project into the record. She summarized that
the action requested of the Commission is consideration of an
appeal of the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board's approval of
the site plan and building elevations for Kokomo Key, a proposed
133 unit townhouse development on the property formerly known as
Marina Cay on North Federal Highway.
The focus of the appeal relates to a number of internal
adjustments which were granted by SPRAB on August 23, 1995,
especially as to the four foot offset requirement, nine units in
a row, and backout parking onto the primary access road.
Robert Barcinski, Acting City Manager, reviewed with
the Commission the concerns which had been expressed by the City
Manager at the last meeting. After discussions with the develop-
er, the City Manager now feels that the backout parking is a very
minor issue. The nine units are no longer a problem due to the
fact that the overall mix of six and nine unit structures is
acceptable. However, the City Manager is still concerned with
the waiver of the four foot offset requirement between units and
feels this should not be allowed. SPRAB feels this adjustment
should be given, but the City Manager is concerned about the
appearance of the project ten years down the road.
Joe Pasquale, applicant, distributed photographs of
this type of project built in other communities, noting that they
are the same photographs which were shown to the Site Plan Review
and Appearance Board. He feels Commission will be quite pleased
with the detailing and the animation that has been created in
these proposed units.
No one from the public came forward to speak in favor
or in opposition to the petition.
At this point, discussion was had by the Commission.
Dr. Alperin inquired if the 133 units is pushing the
zoning to the maximum possible density? In response, Ms.
Dominguez stated this project represents the full allowable
density of twelve units to the acre. Dr. Alperin asked if the
adjustments granted by SPRAB would have been necessary if the
applicant had submitted for a lower density? Ms. Dominguez
-?- 9/19/95
stated that the density would have had to have been significantly
reduced to avoid the adjustments, and further explained some of
the site constraints including a unique easement situation.
In response to question from Mayor Lynch, Mr. Barcinski
stated he feels the City Manager's primary concern about not
requiring the offset between units is one of aesthetics.
In further discussion, the Commission expressed the
view that the proposed project is basically a sound one and will
hopefully serve to act as a catalyst for new development and
redevelopment efforts along North Federal Highway.
Dr. Alperin moved to uphold the Site Plan Review and
Appearance Board's approval of the site plan and building eleva-
tions for Kokomo Key, seconded by Mr. Ellingsworth. Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs.
Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr.
Randolph - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
9.B. WATER SERVICE AGREEMENT IN LIEU OF ANNEXATION: Consid-
er a request to execute a water service agreement in lieu of
annexation for an unincorporated parcel located on the west side
of Barwick Road in unincorporated Palm Beach County.
Robert Barcinski, Acting City Manager, stated this is a
request to execute a water service agreement in lieu of annexa-
tion for a single family residence located on the west side of
Barwick Road in unincorporated Palm Beach County. The applicant
has requested the water service agreement in lieu of annexation
as the process is quicker and would not involve expensive appli-
cation fees.
Staff recommends affirmation of the current policy and
denial of the request to execute a water service agreement.
However, in an effort to work with the property owner and make
the process less burdensome, the recommendation is to allow only
the annexation to occur at this time, without the additional
applications for initial zoning and land use designation. This
way the applicant would only have to pay the $880.00 required to
cover annexation advertising fees. Zoning and land use would be
deferred and addressed by the City via a future Comprehensive
Plan amendment.
George Matthews, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Mason,
property owners, advised that the applicants would like to move
as quickly as possible to get the water hooked up, and asked how
long the annexation would take? Mrs. Dominguez advised the
annexation process takes approximately ten weeks. Mr. Matthews
asked if there was any way to expedite the process?
The City Attorney advised that the applicants could be
allowed to go ahead and execute a water service agreement which
includes the annexation clause. By doing so, they could go ahead
-8- 9/19/95
with getting water service while the annexation is being pro-
cessed.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve the City Attorney's
recommendation and allow the applicants to execute a water ser-
vice agreement with the annexation clause, seconded by Mr. Ran-
dolph. 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.
9.C. SPECIAL EVENT REQUEST/BACKROOM BLUES BAR: Consider a
request for special event approval to allow the Backroom Blues
Bar at 16 East Atlantic Avenue to hold an outside Centennial
Blues Show on Sunday, October 8, 1995, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00
p.m.
Mrs. Smith commented that it has come up before that
the noise from these events does disturb the neighbors because of
the location of the music in the back alley. The sound bounces
off the back of the building and she feels it is a concern which
needs to be addressed.
Mr. Randolph concurred with Mrs. Smith's comments.
Mr. Ellingsworth commented that it is his understanding
that by waiving the noise ordinance, the citizens then have no
recourse to complain if there is a problem. He feels this is not
a proper thing to do and believes this is giving up too much of
the citizens' rights.
Dr. Alperin commented that he feels there are some
issues which need to be resolved and he feels staff should dis-
cuss alternatives with the business owner. However, he feels
this is not the appropriate time to deny the request. If the
Commission feels the request is reasonable, he feels it should be
approved with the understanding that the Backroom Blues Bar will
get no further approvals until any complaints about unacceptable
noise levels in the area are resolved.
Dr. Alperin moved to approve the special event request
for the Backroom Blues Bar, with the condition and understanding
that this is the last time an approval will be considered until
all complaints are resolved. The motion died for lack of second.
Mr. Randolph moved to deny the special event request
for the Backroom Blues Bar with direction to staff to see what
can be done to resolve the complaints about noise, seconded by
Mr. Ellingsworth. Upon roll call the Commission voted as fol-
lows: Dr. Alperin - No; Mr. Ellingsworth Yes; Mr. Randolph -
Yes; Mayor Lynch - No; Mrs. Smith - Yes. Said motion to deny
passed with a 3 to 2 vote.
9 9/19/95
9.D. REQUEST FOR WAIVER/"HOOP IT UP": Consider the Joint
Venture and Streetball Partners International, Inc. request for
waiver of Section 4.6.7(C) (9) of the LDRs on the use of
inflatables at the "Hoop It Up" event scheduled for October
14-15, 1995.
Robert Barcinski, Acting City Manager, stated this is a
request from organizers of the "Hoop It Up" special event activi-
ty to allow the use of inflatables within the boundaries of the
activity. The event is scheduled for October 14-15, 1995.
Staff is recommending City Commission consideration of
the request to allow the use of inflatables supplied by the
sponsors of the "Hoop It Up" special event activity. Approval of
the request would be a waiver to Section 4.6.7(C) (9) of the Land
Development Regulations.
Discussion followed by the Commission.
Mrs. Smith asked if these inflatables are on the ground
or in the air? In response, Lula Butler, Director of Community
Improvement, stated these inflatables are on the ground. In
addition, the Acting City Manager stated the inflatables will be
primarily in the boundaries near the Tennis Center site.
Mr. Ellingsworth inquired as to whether the insurance
will cover the inflatables or whether this would be treated as an
item of a separate nature. Mayor Lynch gave the City Attorney
direction to check into the insurance coverage of the
inflatables.
After discussion, Mr. Randolph moved to approve the
request for waiver of Section 4.6.7(C) (9) of the LDRs on the use
of inflatables at the "Hoop It Up" event scheduled for October
14-15, 1995, with direction for the City Attorney to check the
insurance coverage, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Ran-
dolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
At this point, the time being 7:10 p.m., the Commission
moved to the duly advertised Public Hearings portion of the
Agenda.

that the City Manager has recommended an amendment to the budget
to provide funding for an additional full time staff person in
Public Works. This position is necessary if the City is to

reflect an adjustment from the General Fund Reserve in the amount
of $23,300 to the Transportation line item under Expendi-

al Fund Reserve will be $136,640, with Transportation increased

ing electronic payment of water bills, Mr. Barcinski stated that
the Utility Billing customer service division in the Pinance
Department has been converting their cash payment system to an
in-house automated scanning system utilizing bar coded documents.
Once this process is completed and in good working order, the
City will then consider the automated payment of utility bills
through electronic processing.
In response to Joe Kamarata's suggestion for the City
to look at the process that Gainesville uses for median mainte-
nance whereby they get businesses to adopt a median for mainte-
nance, Mr. Barcinski stated that Joseph Weldon, Director of Parks
and Recreation, is in the process of obtaining the information
from Gainesville to review.

Avenue, Mr. Barcinski reported that Lieutenant McCollum has been
meeting with Mr. Parker in an effort to resolve the problem and
work out a final agreement.
11.B. From the Public.

Owners, expressed concern about the condition of Linton Boulevard
between Congress Avenue and 1-95. She stated that she pointed
this out some time ago and it still has not been repaired.
Mr. Barcinski explained that the road belongs to the
County and the request for repairing the road has been made to
the County several times.
Mayor Lynch suggested that a letter be sent to Palm
Beach County Commissioner Mary McCarty, with a copy to Lillian
Feldman, requesting that the road repair be expedited.
11.B.2. John Freeney, 125 N.E. 10th Street, speaking on behalf
of Debra Dowd and representing the Seacrest Homeowners Associa-
9/ 9/95
tion, stated that he and neighbors walk around the neighborhood

quate service.

At this point, the Commission returned to the Regular
Agenda portion of the meeting.

the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr.

agreement with the County for Anchor Park which extends the
original term from July 31, 2008 until 38 years from the date of

ed by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as fol-
lows: Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes;

9.G. BID AWARD/ATLANTIC AVENUE AND MIRAMAR DRIVE PUMP STA-
TION: Consider rejecting all bids received for the Atlantic
Avenue and Miramar Drive Pump Station and authorize staff to
advertise and re-bid the project. Low bid of $786,260 is over
in-house and consultant estimates for the project.
Dan Beatty, City Engineer, explained that when the bids
were received, they were substantially higher than what the
engineers had originally estimated. Upon review of the bid
specifications, staff found some things that were lumped together
which left variables in the contract. In view of this, staff is
recommending that Commission reject all bids and authorize staff
to re-bid the project with revised specifications.

received for the Atlantic Avenue and Miramar Drive Stormwater
Pump Station project and authorize staff to re-bid the project

9.H. BID AWARD/ENVIRODY1FE, INC.: Consider bid award to
Envirodyne, Inc., second low bidder, for supplemental laboratory
analysis for water, wastewater, etc., at an estimated annual cost
of $18,000 from FY 1995/96 budget #441-5122-536-34.90 and
441-5142-536-34.90.
Mr. Barcinski stated that this is before the Commission
to consider a bid award to Envirodyne, Inc., second low bidder,
for outside chemical analysis of various water samples for the
City's Laboratory. Because of past performance with the low
bidder, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, they are not being
recommended.
Dick Hasko, Deputy Director of Public Utilities, ex-
plained that the basis for this recommendation is based on past
performance. Mr. Hasko stated that the back-up material contains
statements of Harbor Branch's performance in terms of turnaround
time on test samples from both the IPP Environmental Analyst as
well as the Lab Manager. The primary concern is the turnaround
time because many of the tests that the City sends out to the lab
consultants have direct bearings on public health concerns.
Mayor Lynch asked Mr. Hasko how he would rate the accuracy of
Harbor Branch? In response, Mr. Hasko stated he would rate the
accuracy acceptable. Mayor Lynch feels the three most important
concerns should be accuracy, turnaround time, and cost.
Discussion followed by the Commission.
Mayor Lynch opened the floor for public comment.
N. Myron Gunsalus, Director of the Environmental Lab at
Harbor Branch, stated in 1995 his company produced a total of 16
actual reports for the City. Out of those 16, one report (full
drinking water analysis) was four business days late.
After discussion, Mr. Ellingsworth moved to award the
bid to Harbor Branch as the low bidder, subject to the City
Attorney's review of the entire contract and the addition of a
stringent default provision to the effect that if reports are
even one day late, the contract will be terminated; seconded by
Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mrs. Smith - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes;
Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.

442-5178-536-46.90.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve the contract addition
with Chaz Equipment Company in the amount of $16,000, seconded by
Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes;
Mrs. Smith - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.

request from the Municipal League for interest in serving as a
League representative on the Countywide Impact Fee Review Commit-
tee.
After discussion, there was no interest from the Com-
mission.
9.K. TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL: Consider a
request from the Municipal League for interest in serving as an

9.L. SPECIAL EVENT APPROVAL/1ST ANNUAL DELRAY BEACH BREW
FESTIVAL: Consider a request from Pineapple Grove Main Street,
Inc. for special event approval to hold the 1st Annual Delray
Beach Brew Festival on Saturday, October 28, 1995.
Robert Barcinski, Acting City Manager, stated that
staff is recommending approval of a request from Pineapple Grove
Main Street Inc. for special event approval to hold the 1st
Annual Delray Beach Brew Festival. The original request was for
October 28, 1995 which would include the closure of N.E. 2nd
Avenue from Atlantic Avenue to N.E. 1st Street. The specific
hours of the event would be from 4:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. with
at least one uniformed police officer, barricade signage, parking
in public lots, covered stage, and a waiver of overtime.
Due to the Halloween Parade as well as a concert at the
tennis stadium, staff is recommending the date of this event be
moved from October 28, 1995 to October 29, 1995. Staff is also
recommending that two officers be utilized versus the one re-
quested, and that there be no overtime waiver. The estimated
overtime for this event is approximately $1300.
Tom Fleming, Pineapple Grove Project Manager, stated if
the event is approved for October 29th, Commission may want to
consider being flexible with the hours and start the event some-
where between the hours of 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. and end the event
-20- 9/19/95
earlier since October 29th is a Sunday. Mayor Lynch reiterated
that if the Commission approves this event, the time would be
flexible anywhere between 2:00 p.m and 10:00 p.m.
Mr. Randolph inquired as to whether recording music
will be played. In response, Mr. Fleming stated that a live band
will be performing. Mr. Barcinski informed Mr. Fleming that the
Air Force Band is going to play at Old School Square and asked
Mr. Fleming if he would periodically take a break with his band
to allow for the other band to play. In response, Mr. Fleming
stated he has been coordinating this with the Joint Venture and
will ensure that there is no conflict.
Mr. Randolph moved to approve the special event request
to hold the 1st Annual Delray Beach Brew Festival on Sunday,
October 29, 1995, based on staff's recommendations, seconded by
Mr. Ellingsworth. Upon roll call the Commission voted as fol-
lows: Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes;
Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
13. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Aqenda Items.
13.A. In response to Vice Mayor Ellingsworth's inquiry re-
garding the present balance of the City's general fund unappro-
priated fund balance, Robert Barcinski, Assistant City Manager,
stated as of September 30, 1994, that balance was $3,754,853. As
of August 31, 1995, of the current year, the Finance Department
is projecting that the City's ending balance for September 30,
1995, will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $4.1 million which
represents slightly under 10% of the City's general fund budget.
In addition, the Assistant City Manager noted that he
received a memo from the Golf Course inviting the Commission to
attend the opening of the new clubhouse.
Thirdly, the Assistant City Manager stated that he
distributed two informational memos updating the Commission on
the clubhouse storage and the Head Start Program.

bus rental service for the After School, summer day camp, and

bus rental and inquired as to whether the City has ever consid-
-21- 9/19/95
ered the possibility of purchasing a bus as opposed to leasing.
In response, Mr. Barcinski stated he does not have the answer;
however, will research and discuss at a later date with the
Commission.

Mr. Randolph had no comments or inquiries.
13.C.3. Mrs. Smith
Mrs. Smith complimented Mr. Ellingsworth on the Pioneer
Luncheon.
13.C.4. Mayor Lynch

and it would be reactionary for the City to build a structure at
this stage. He hopes the Commission will approve a temporary
structure and allow the center to run for six months to a year.
After a year of operation, the City can then consider what might
need to done.
Mayor Lynch complimented Mr. Barcinski for doing a good
job on the Boys and Girls Club and the Head Start Program. Mr.
Barcinski gave credit to Skip Robinson (new member of the Boys
and Girls Club) who ran a similar program in Milwaukee where
there was a shared joint facility.

the meeting adjourned at 8:25 P.M.
