JUDICIAL HEARING.

ducted as a quasi-judicial hearing which allows for presentations
by all involved parties, the admission of documents into the
record and public testimony.
The City Clerk swore in those individuals who wished to
give testimony on this item.
Diane Dominguez, Planning Director, entered into the
record the Planning and Zoning Department's file on this project
and a listing of pertinent documents. She explained that the
development proposal includes modifying the site to accommodate a
permanent stage with a covered canopy, a 256 sq.ft, room attached
to the rear of the stage, and permanent restroom facilities. The
site will be available for musical concerts and other entertain-
ment Monday through Sunday, 6:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. Special
events will be limited to no more than five (5) per calendar
year, with a seating capacity of up to 2,500 people. For regular
events, parking is available which meets the 1/300 parking space
requirement in the Central Business District. For special
events, a site plan has been submitted which reflects parking
within the area in excess of 1,000 spaces, with excess parking
expected to be accommodated in the downtown area. There is a
condition that off-site parking agreements be obtained from
private property owners to utilize their parking facilities
during special events. Security will be provided and conditions
of approval require coordination with the Police Department for
off-duty officers to monitor the activities associated with the
event. The number of Police assigned will depend upon the size
of the event. At its meeting of November 20, 1995, the Planning
and Zoning Board recommended approval of the conditional use,
subject to conditions.
Mayor Lynch opened the public hearing. There being no
one else who wished to give testimony on this item, the public
hearing was closed.
Discussion by the Commission followed.
-4- 12/05/95
Dr. Alperin asked if there is any provision in the
approval for the event plans to be reviewed by staff to ensure
that everything is adequate?
Ms. Dominguez responded that there is no specific
language which states that before each event they have to meet
with staff; however, there has to be some coordination prior to
an event.
Dr. Alperin expressed concern about the possibility of
a conflict with another event or events in the downtown area,
such as at the Tennis Center or Old School Square, and felt there
should be a provision that the City would have final authority to
approve events.
Mayor Lynch suggested adding a condition of approval
that all events be coordinated through the Downtown Joint Ven-
ture, with the City Manager to have final approval authority, and
that Old School Square and the Tennis Center would have priority
in terms of scheduling events. The Commission concurred.
Mr. Randolph expressed concern regarding the hours of
operation for special events as he felt the hours were too re-
strictive, particularly for costly events featuring well known
entertainers.
Ms. Dominguez pointed out that if the applicant feels
there is a need for additional hours, a modification of the
conditional use could be approved by the Planning and Zoning
Board.
In response to Mr. Ellingsworth's inquiry regarding
noise pollution, the Planning Director stated that the applicant
has submitted a study which was conducted by sound engineers.
Also, that the applicant has received a variance from the noise
ordinance from the Board of Adjustment.
Dr. Alperin moved to approve the conditional use re-
quest, subject to the Planning and Zoning Board's recommendation
and with the additional condition that the Downtown Joint Venture
will be the coordinating agency, with final approval authority by
the City Manager, and with Old School Square and the Tennis
Center to be given priority in terms of event scheduling and
parking considerations; seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mayor Lynch Yes; Mrs. Smith -
Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph -
No. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.

the amount of $7,000.00 to BJCE, Inc. for management of the

1995; seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission

Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said

9.D. CANCELLATION OF CONTRACT WITH TEMPLE SINAI: Consider
cancelling the Contract for Sale and Purchase between the City
and Temple Sinai for the acquisition of Temple property to pro-
vide right-of-way on the west side of Davis Road.
City Attorney Susan Ruby stated that the contract with
Temple Sinai was entered into at the time of the discussions
concerning the settlement of the Tate lawsuit. The contract
provides that the City may give the Temple notice that the City
desires to terminate the contract. However, the notice must be
given no later than 30 days prior to closing. The closing for
the Temple property is scheduled for January 10, 1996, so the
deadline for providing the Temple notice of termination is Decem-
ber 10, 1995. The City Attorney requested direction to either
send a letter to Temple Sinai informing them of the termination
of the contract, or to proceed to close on the property in Janu-
ary.
Discussion ensued regarding access and the appraised
value of the property.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to proceed with acquisition of
the property, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth -

The caption of Resolution No. 88-95 is as follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING THE
APPOINTMENT OF AN ADDITIONAL VOTING MEMBER
REPRESENTING PALM BEACH COUNTY TO THE METRO-
POLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION OF PALM BEACH
COUNTY, PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
(Copy of Resolution No. 88-95 is on file in the offi-
cial Resolution Book)
The City Manager explained that the Board of County
Commissioners has requested as additional voting member be
-6- 12/05/95
pointed to the Metropolitan Planning Organization to represent
the unincorporated area. The membership of the MPO is appor-
tioned and appointed by the Governor. The MPO submits any re-
quests for changes in membership with supporting documentation,
including resolutions of support from local governments.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve Resolution No. 88-95,
seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
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.F. CHANGE ORDER NO. 2/O'CONNOR & TAYLOR, INC.: Consider
Change Order No. 2 to O'Connor & Taylor, Inc. as part of final
reconciliation for the Municipal Golf Course Clubhouse project,
in the amount of $15,510 from 445-4763-572-62.10.
The City Manager explained that this change order is
needed to cover the costs of miscellaneous additions and changes
which were made to the clubhouse project. A $25,000 contingency
was approved; however, this amount is for those costs over and
above the contingency.
Mayor Lynch expressed concern about the additional
costs for this project, and emphasized that the total overrun is
really $40,510 when you add the $25,000 contingency and now the
additional $15,510.
Howard Wight, Assistant Construction Manager, explained
that the total for the add of the miscellaneous costs is $40,510;
however, $25,000 was already part of the contract so that does
not have to be added. The $15,510 is the total of a lot of
miscellaneous changes which have accumulated.
Discussion by the Commission followed. Concern was
expressed over several of the items necessitating additional
costs, especially changes to the fire sprinkler system and cer-
tain interior design items. Both Mayor Lynch and Dr. Alperin
expressed disappointment in that the Commission was under the
impression that everything was included in the initial costs
agreed upon at the start of the project. They felt that respon-
sibility to ensure the project ran smoothly was with staff and
the architect, and that they had made it clear they did not want
to see any change orders.
The City Manager noted that the project is still less
than what was initially budgeted. Further, the item under con-
sideration is that of a change order and the contractor needs to
be paid for his services.
On further discussion, it was the consensus of the
Commission that they wished to receive a detailed breakdown and
explanation for each of the changes listed. Further, that the
7 2/05/95
architect for the project and the City's Construction Manager be
present at the next meeting to discuss the matter.
Mr. Randolph moved to postpone consideration of Change
Order No. 2/O'Connor & Taylor, Inc. to the regular meeting of
December 12, 1995, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch -
Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - No; Mr. Ellingsworth -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
9.G. APPOINTMENT TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: Appoint a
regular member to the Board of Adjustment to fill an unexpired
term ending August 31, 1997. Appointment by Commissioner Smith.
Mrs. Smith moved to appoint Jess Sowards as a regular
member to the Board of Adjustment to fill an unexpired term
ending August 31, 1997, seconded by Mr. Randolph. 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.H. CONTRACT ADDITION (C.O. #1)/RAY QUALMANN MARINE CON-
STRUCTION, INC.: Consider a Contract Addition (C.O. %1) and 45
day extension to Ray Qualmann Marine Construction, Inc. in the
amount of $19,650 for seawall and retaining wall rehabilitation
at N.E. 2nd Street at the Intracoastal Waterway, with $7,500 from
448-5411-538-62.23, and $12,150 from 334-3162-543-61.93.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve Contract Addition
(C.O. #1) with Ray Qualmann Marine Construction, Inc., seconded
by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes;
Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - No. Said motion passed with a
4 to 1 vote.
9.I. BID AWARD/IN HOUSE JANITORIAL SERVICES CONTRACT: Con-
sider award of multiple bids to two vendors (Crystal Building
Maintenance and Superior Service) to provide cleaning services
for six buildings at a total cost of $77,844; rejection of the
bids for the Water Treatment Plant, and authorization to obtain
new quotes. Funding for the six buildings is available from
various departmental accounts.
Robert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, explained
that the bid specifications for cleaning services for City build-
ings were rewritten this year to include performance measures on
which to base quality of service. In addition to price, vendors
were required to submit manning plans for the specified work for
each building in order to determine if they had a group for the
work to be performed and to be used in bid analysis. The bid
specs were written so that bids could be awarded to one vendor
for all buildings or separately for each building. In reviewing
and analyzing the bid proposals, it was felt that in addition to
price, bids needed to include references and contract informa-
-8- 12/05/95
tion, manning plans, and training program information in order to
be considered. Mr. Barcinski then presented a brief overview of
the bid proposals. In conclusion, he recommended rejection of
bids submitted by 5 Star Janitorial and Bright Maintenance, Inc.
as being non-responsive based on staff analysis of manning pro-
posals and per hour cost, and the award of cleaning bids to
Crystal Building Maintenance (for City Hall, the City Attorney's
Office, the Environmental Services Complex, the Police Station,
and Police Substation), and to Superior Service (for Fire Station
Headquarters). Further, Mr. Barcinski recommended rejecting all
bids for the Water Treatment Plant and requested that staff be
authorized to negotiate services for this facility with the two
vendors awarded contracts and make a selection.
Dr. Alperin moved to approve staff's recommendation as
stated by Mr. Barcinski, 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.
9.J. (ADDENDUM ITEM) REQUEST FOR STREET CLOSURE AND USE OF

from the corner of South Swinton to past S.W. 1st Avenue, and use
of the County owned parking lot at the northeast corner of S.W.
1st Avenue and S.W. 1st Street for the "Light Up Delray" festi-
val.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve the request for
street closure and use of City property for "Light-Up Delray",
seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith -
Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 5 to 0 vote.

of Comprehensive Plan Amendment 95-2, noting that it includes

Avenue Redevelopment Area. Two of the text amendments are major
issues; the first having to do with the establishment of a Trans-
portation Concurrency Exception Area (TCEA) for the downtown, and
the second having to do with the beach concession issue.
-10- 12/05/95
Sharon Kinqston, owner of a beachfront business, stated
she was opposed to any expansion of the existing concession which
would allow for the sale of food or beverages.
Kathy Stokes, 1220 Southways, referred to the language
contained at Policy C-10.1 and stated that it had been her under-
standing that the words "beach cabana concession portable shel-
ter'' were to have been eliminated. Ms. Stokes further requested
that the reference to "concessions" (plural) be changed to "con-
cession" (singular) at Policy B-3.3.
Frank Boyar, member of the Beach Property Owners'
Association, expressed his opposition to allowing a shelter for
the cabana concession, stating that they did not want to see any
commercialization on the beach.
Bill Wood, Executive Director of the Chamber of Com-
merce, pointed out that the structure is small in size and is
portable. He felt that the request was a reasonable one and
would not set any kind of a negative precedent at the beach.
Jean Beer, 945 Tropic Boulevard, was adamantly opposed
to any commercialization on the beach and compared the portable
structure to the ticket booth at Veterans Park.
Joe Kamarata, 764 Avocet Road, also voiced his objec-
tion to the structure on the beach.
Linda Francios, representing Bandana Beach Services,
clarified for the record that there is no intent to expand the
beach concession to sell food and beverages. The request is
simply for a basic structure to provide security and shelter for
employees and storage for the rental items.
Diana Sullivan, owner of a business located at 28 South
Ocean Boulevard, expressed concerned about the possibility of the
concession requesting further expansion in the future to where
they would eventually be allowed to sell products on the beach.
Harvey Brown Sr. stated that cabanas have been rented
on the beach since 1947 and it has never been necessary to build
any type of structure. He objected to the proposal to allow a
shelter for the current beach concession.
Banford Dana, owner of Bandana Beach Services, noted
that the contract states that he is allowed storage space. He
emphasized that he is not asking for anything other than a place
to store his supplies and a place for security and protection
from the elements. It is not his intent to sell items such as
hot dogs, tee shirts, suntan lotion, etc. Mr. Dana noted that
the structure will look similar to the lifeguard stations on the
beach.
-11- 12/05/95
Monty Helm, representing the Beach Property Owners,
stated that the BPOA is adamantly opposed to any structure other
than lifeguard stations on the beach.
There being no one else who wished to give testimony on
this item, the public hearing was closed.

concession portable shelter" from Coastal Management Element

property is located on the east side of Congress Avenue, approxi-
mately 400 feet south of Germantown Road, and is zoned I (Indus-

ducted as a quasi-judicial hearing which allows for presentations
by all involved parties, the admission of documents into the
record and public testimony.
The City Clerk swore in those individuals who wished to
give testimony on this item.
Diane Dominguez, Planning Director, entered into the
record the Planning and Zoning Department's file on this project
and a listing of pertinent documents. The proposal is to install
a 450 ft. communication tower on the east side of Congress Avenue
to replace the three existing towers which are located on the
west side of Congress Avenue. The new tower will be located
further away from the residential area and will visually have
less of an impact. Ms. Dominguez noted a change to one of the
original conditions of approval (i.e. that any proposal to add
fixtures be processed as a non-impacting site plan modification).
She noted that this language needs to be changed in order to be
consistent with the language in the annexation agreement.
Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, expressed concern about
potential negative impacts of the tower to the residential neigh-
borhood.
Mayor Lynch explained that the three existing towers on
the west side of Congress Avenue will be removed and will be
replaced by one 450 ft. tower which will be located on the east
side of Congress Avenue closer to 1-95 and further away from any
residential development.
Jeff Lis, representing the property owner, stated that
he had reviewed the list of conditions of approval as outlined in
the staff report. He asked for clarification relative to Items
(A) and (F) as he felt these issues were already addressed in the
annexation agreement.
The public hearing was closed.
Discussion ensued. The City Attorney noted that the
change is specifically worded in the annexation agreement as to
whether or not the change would be considered as a non-impacting
or minor site plan modification.
Ms. Dominguez pointed out that the issue of the land-
scape buffer Item (F) was already covered in the annexation
agreement. However, she agreed that the language needed to be
changed in Item (E) .
-17- 12/05/95
After discussion, there was a consensus that the word-
ing for Item (E) be changed to reflect the following: "any pro-
posal to install large Tiffany type fixtures shall be processed
as a minor site plan modification". Also, that Item (B) be
modified to reflect that within 90 days of the tower's installa-
tion, the existing towers on the west side are to be removed.
During the 90 days, customers are to be transferred from the 3
towers to the one tower.
Dr. Alperin moved approval of the conditional use
request for the communication tower for Hardrives subject to the
following modifications: that Condition Item (B) be changed to
reflect the following: "within 90 days of the tower's installa-
tion, the existing towers on the west side are to be removed.
During the 90 days, customers are to be transferred from the 3
towers to the one tower"; and, that Item (E) be changed to re-
flect "any proposal to install large Tiffany type fixtures shall
be processed as a minor site plan modification", seconded by Mrs.

Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr.

area of Avocet Road in the Tropic Palms subdivision for better
enforcement of the speed limit.
Mr. Kamarata commented on the poor condition of the
pavement on S.E. 2nd Avenue, just south of Atlantic Avenue.
In response, the City Manager stated that S.E. 2nd
Avenue is on the list of streets to be resurfaced this year. In
-25- 12/05/95
regard to Mr. Kamarata's other requests, he will have staff check
into the matters.
12. FIRST READINGS:
12.A. ORDINANCE NO. 81-95: An ordinance providing for a
Small Scale Future Land Use Map amendment from Transitional to
General Commercial, and rezoning from POC {Planned Office Center)
District to GC (General Commercial) District for a 0.68 acre
parcel of land located at the southwest corner of Linton Boule-
vard and Congress Avenue. If passed, public hearing January 9,
1996.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 81-95:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, CHANGING THE
FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION FROM TRANSI-
TIONAL TO GENERAL COMMERCIAL, AND REZONING
FROM POC (PLANNED OFFICE CENTER) DISTRICT TO
GC (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT, FOR A
PARCEL OF LAND LOCATED AT THE SOUTHWEST
CORNER OF LINTON BOULEVARD AND CONGRESS
AVENUE, AS THE SAME IS MORE PARTICULARLY
DESCRIBED HEREIN; ELECTING TO PROCEED UNDER
THE SINGLE HEARING ADOPTION PROCESS FOR SMALL
SCALE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENTS; AND AMENDING
"ZONING MAP OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, 1994";
PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, A SAVING
CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
(Copy of Ordinance No. 81-95 is on file in the official
Ordinance Book)
Although this was not a public hearing, Mayor Lynch
opened the floor for public comment.
David Felton, representing the property owners, stated
that the purpose of the land use change and rezoning is to accom-
modate a gasoline station and convenience store.
Diane Dominguez, Planning Director, stated that the
Planning and Zoning Board considered this item at public hearing
on November 20, 1995 at which time they recommended approval.
She noted that the issue being considered this evening is that of
land use and zoning. If approved, it is anticipated that a
conditional use request to establish a gasoline service station
with convenience store will follow.
The Planning Director stated that staff recommends
denial due to three areas of concern: (1) the request is incon-
sistent with some of the policies of the Comprehensive Plan
regarding the commercialization of intersections; (2) the GC land
use and zoning allows a higher intensity and use than that which
-26- 12/05/95
is currently allowed and will increase the traffic potential in
an already congested area; and (3) the use is not compatible with
adjacent residential development. She noted that the Planning
and Zoning Board felt that the size of the site does not lend
itself to office development. Concerns were expressed regarding
increased traffic volumes on Linton Boulevard, congestion at the
Linton/Congress intersection and the potential U-turns which will
have to be made to get to this site. The Community Redevelopment
Agency supports the proposal due to the fact that they would like
the majority of new office development to be directed to the
downtown area.
At this point discussion ensued regarding potential
uses which would be allowed and the appropriate zoning classifi-
cation for the site.
Mr. Felton stated that although he realized it is not
legally binding, his clients plan to build a service station and
convenience facility on the subject property and that is their
only intent.
Mr. Dan Burns, contract purchaser, stated for the
record that his only intent is to build a service station.
Should the request for land use change and rezoning be approved
and he were to receive an offer to sell the property, he would
not be interested in any profit and would proceed with building
the service station. Further, that he is very much concerned
with the well being of the City and he does not want to see
another fast food restaurant at this location.
Lillian Feldman, resident of the Pines of Delray,
expressed concern about the convenience store aspect of the
proposal. She stated for the record that not only is she repre-
senting the Pines of Delray, but all of the residents who live
along Linton Boulevard and Military Trail.
After discussion, Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve
Ordinance No. 81-95 on FIRST Reading, seconded by Mrs. Smith.
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.
12.B. ORDINANCE NO. 82-95: An ordinance rezoning a 5 acre

nity Facilities) District for expansion of an existing elementary
school. The subject property is located at the southeast corner
of S.W. 10th Street and S.W. 7th Avenue (west of and adjacent to
Pine Grove Elementary School). If passed, public hearing January
2, 1996.

-28- 12/05/95
At this point, Mayor Lynch announced that there is a
need for individuals to offer their homes to house tennis players
during the Sunshine International Junior Tennis Tournament which
will be held at the Tennis Center December 10 through 17th, 1995.
He noted that there are 3 countries remaining out of 30 which
have not had a home offered for their players. Also, that some
literature is available for anyone who may be interested in
offering their home during this time.
13. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Aqenda Items.
13.A. City Manager stated that he had received a letter from
Walgreens which points out that Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve
both fall on Sundays this year, and that Sunday is the day that
alcoholic beverages cannot be sold until noontime. Walgreens is
requesting that some sort of exception be granted so that their
beverage store could be opened at 9:00 a.m. on both December 24
and December 31, 1995. The City Manager reported that the only
way this could be done would be through the waiver process which
requires advanced advertising and a public hearing. This would
necessitate a special meeting since there is not enough time to
advertise before the last regularly scheduled meeting of the
year. Or, in lieu of the waiver process, the Commission could
declare an emergency in order to act on the request if the Com-
mission wished to take action.
After brief consideration, it was the consensus of the
Commission to not take any special action to accommodate the
request for an exception since it would not be viewed favorably.
Mayor Lynch asked that the City Manager so notify Walgreens.
13.B. City Attorney announced the engagement of David Tolces,
Assistant City Attorney, who plans to be married in June, 1996.
13.C. City Commission.
13.C.1. Mrs. Smith pointed out that during the discussion
earlier this evening regarding the change order for the golf
course clubhouse (Item 9.F.), a comment was made to the effect
that the Fire Inspectors were getting very strict. She noted
that she was aware of one particular alarm company who is consid-
ering going out of the alarm business due to tougher regulations.
Mrs. Smith suggested that perhaps the Commission should review
this issue because the regulations may be too severe.
Mr. Randolph stated that he appreciated Mrs. Smith's
concerns; however, he was a bit hesitant as he felt it was impor-
tant to catch potenti~1 problems before they occur in the inter-
est of public safety.
13.C.2. Dr. Alperin felt that The Legends Tournament and the
accompanying concerts which were held at the Tennis Center Novem-
ber 30 through December 3, 1995 were a tremendous success.
-29- 12/05/95
Dr. Alperin reported that Dr. Daniel Alfonso, Principal
of Pine Grove Elementary School, has been promoted and will be
leaving the school for a new assignment. Dr. Alperin commented
that this change is very upsetting to him personally as he feels
Dr. Alfonso has done an excellent job. He felt that the Commis-
sion should make the School Board aware that the City is knowl-
edgeable of this change and how important this school is to the
community. Dr. Alperin also suggested that each member of the
Commission contact the new principal when he or she is assigned
to Pine Grove in January of 1996.
Dr. Alperin commented that the Education Board will be
losing a key member who has taken a new job. He suggested the
news media assist in helping to find qualified applicants to
apply to this Board.
13.C.3. Mr. Ellinqsworth complimented Assistant City Manager
Bob Barcinski on his editorial concerning magnet schools which
appeared in this morning's issue of The Palm Beach Post.
Mr. Ellingsworth felt that the Legends Tournament and
accompanying concerts were a tremendous success and hoped they
would return to the City next year.
Mr. Ellingsworth commented that he had recently spoken
with an individual who had made a pledge to the FAMU Marching
Band, and this person indicated that no one has contacted him
about collecting the pledge. Mr. Ellingsworth asked the City
Manager to check to see if those individuals who had made pledges
were ever contacted for their payments.
13.C.4. Mr. Randolph noted that the Commission's next regular
meeting is scheduled for January 2, 1996, and that he would not
be able to attend the meeting. He asked if there may be a prob-
lem with having a quorum in view of the holiday season and sug-
gested the possibility of rescheduling the meeting.
After discussion, it was the consensus of the Commis-
sion to reschedule the Commission's meeting dates for January,
1996, as follows:
Regular Meeting - January 9th
Workshop meeting - January 16th
Regular Meeting - January 23rd
In addition, the consensus was to hold the Annual Town
Meeting on Tuesday, January 30, 1996 (tentative date).
Mr. Randolph suggested that there could be better
marketing for future events at the Tennis Stadium. He felt that
the recent Legends Tournament and the accompanying concerts did
not receive sufficient advertising as many of the City's citizens
were not aware of the event.
-30- 12/05/95
It was suggested by Mayor Lynch that Leadership Cable,
along with the news media, could assist in this regard.
The City Manager stated that Palm Acts, Inc., had
commented that the marketing of the entertainment associated with
the Legends Tournament had been weak and that they plan to do
stronger marketing for future events.
13.C.5. Mayor Lynch announced that the Sunshine Cup (Junior
Boy's Annual International Tennis Tournament) will be held during
the week of December 10 through December 17, 1995.
It was noted by Mayor Lynch that the City has received
a letter from County Commissioner Mary McCarty regarding the
removal of the concrete barricade on the Linton Boulevard Bridge.
The City Manager explained that the County's Engineer
is agreeable to removing the concrete barrier on the north side
of the bridge to facilitate travel off the barrier island should
there be the need to evacuate. However, the County's Engineering
staff verified that the traffic does not warrant six-laning of
the bridge at this time, and the preference is to allow the
concrete barrier to remain on the south side in consideration of
the cyclists. Commissioner McCarty asked that the City Commis-
sion consider this proposal and get back to her with a response.
The Commission concurred to accept the County's propos-
al unless Highland Beach is opposed, in which case the City
Commission would reconsider the issue.
Mayor Lynch stated that a member of the City Commission
of Boca Raton had contacted him regarding the newly formed South
County Gang Prevention Program and asked if Delray Beach would be
interested in participating in this program. They are hoping for
the participation of Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and
the unincorporated areas west of these three cities. The pro-
gram, based on Broward County's, will focus on this area's prob-
lems and would be more effective if all three cities are working
together. Mayor Lynch asked the City Manager to have the Police
Department contact Boca about our participation.
There being no further business, Mayor Lynch declared
the meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.
