(Copy of Resolution No. 58-94 is on file in the offi- cial Resolution Book). Mayor Lynch stated that the City would provide the upfront monies, which will cost the City more with no revenue. The CRA will get the tax increment financing when rebuilding occurs and will reimburse $90,000 which was spent by the City during a three year commitment. The City Manager pointed out that this issue was ad- dressed in the last paragraph of the memorandum which was provid- ed in the agenda back-up material for this item. It was noted by the City Attorney, that if the Commis- sion so desires, a new paragraph could be added to Resolution 58-94 as Section 3. Tom Fleminq, Main Street Coordinator, requested that this commitment be a separate document to be included with the application to the Florida Main Street Program as one of the Exhibits. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Commis- sion to approve the agreement, subject to the CRA entering into an agreement with the City, and that the City's contribution will -4- 7/19/94 be reimbursed by the CRA from increased T.I.F. revenues, if the program proves to be successful. Mr. Ellingsworth moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 58-94 for the Florida Main Street Program, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 9.A. REVIEW OF APPEALABLE LAND DEVELOPMENT ACTIONS OF VARI- OUS BOARDS: Consider accepting the actions and decisions made by the Planning and Zoning Board, Site Plan Review and Appearance Board and the Historic Preservation Board during the period July 4 through July 15, 1994. Dr. Alperin moved to receive and file the report, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 9.B. SERVICE AUTHORIZATION NO. 3/DIGBY BRIDGES MARSH & ASSO- CIATES: Consider Service Authorization No. 3 to Digby Bridges Marsh & Associates in the lump sum amount of $83,200.00, plus a not to exceed $15,000.00 for reimbursable printing expenses, for the Delray Beach Tennis Center Phase III project; with funding from General Construction Fund - Tennis Center Improvements (Account No. 334-4145-572-63.43). The City Manager noted that Dr. Alperin had inquired as to why the engineer was different in this particular proposal than that which was initially presented. He explained that the previous engineering firm (Heller, Weaver and Cato) worked on the previous phases of the project. The initial price was $12,600 and the price was then negotiated to $11,600, which was consid- ered too high as they should have had an advantage competitively because of their familiarity with the project. At that point, staff asked Mr. Bridges to look for another engineering firm. The City Manager feels that the firm mentioned in the proposed contract is quite capable and responsible and will be equally responsive to the City's needs. Mr. Bridges explained that after he had contacted a different engineering firm, the firm of Heller, Weaver and Cato has now met the identical bid. Although both engineering firms are excellent choices, Mr. Bridges prefers to retain the services of the original engineering firm based on insurance liability reasons. Although he understood Mr. Bridges' concerns, the City Manager felt that Heller, Weaver and Cato had treated the City fairly in this particular case. Mr. Ellingsworth moved for approval of Service Author- ization No. 3 with Digby Bridges Marsh & Associates, subject to -5- 7/19/94 Mr. Bridges's discretion and/or selection of a subcontractor, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 9.C. CHANGE ORDER NO. 1/MOLLOY BROTHERS, INC.: Consider add Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $16,945.00 and an extension of ten (10) calendar days to the contract with Molloy Brothers, Inc. for the construction of the alley in Block 12, in conjunc- tion with the Street Reconstruction and Utility Improvements (Northwest/ Northeast) Project; with funding from D.O.E. Phase I - CBD Alleyway Reconstruction Phase II (Account No. 225-3162-541- 61.47), and D.O.E. Phase II - CBD Alleyway Reconstruction Phase II (Account No. 228-3162-541-61.47). Dr. Alperin moved for approval of Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $16,945.00 and an extension of ten (10) calendar days to the contract with Molloy Brothers, Inc., seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 9.D. CHANGE ORDER NO. 1/ALL-RITE PAVING CONTRACTORS, INC.: Consider add Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $49,200.00 and an increase in the contract time of fourteen calendar days to All-Rite Paving Contractors, Inc. for additional 60" RCP storm drainage pipe and one Type "J" Inlet, on S.W. 10th Street; with funding from Decade of Excellence Phase II - S.W. 10th Street (Account No. 228-3162-541-61.90). The City Manager stated that the City received below estimate bids and were able to provide additional storm drainage piping which is recommended at this time so that the turn lanes do not have to be disturbed at a later date. Mr. Ellingsworth moved for approval of Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $49,200.00 and an increase in the contract time of fourteen calendar days to All-Rite Paving Contractors, Inc., seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 9.E. TERMINATION OF LEASE AGREEMENT FOR THE CATHERINE STRONG CENTER: Consider termination of the City's lease agreement with Palm Beach County for the Catherine Strong Center. The City Attorney stated that there are several issues for the Commission's consideration: 1) a formal termination of the lease for the Head Start Program at the Catherine Strong Center building; 2) request the Commission's permission to sub- lease the property to the Boys and Girls Club of Palm Beach County; 3) or, in lieu of the sublease, permission to request that Palm Beach County turn over the property to the City. 6 7/19/94 Mrs. Smith moved to terminate the lease for the Head Start Program and to begin negotiations for the acquisition of that property; and in the interim to acquire consent for a sub- lease, seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 9.F. SETTLEM]~NT OFF~R/RO¥ SIMON: Consider settlement offer relative to Mr. Simon's claim against the City. The City Attorney stated that at the last meeting the settlement figure proposed was for $9,283.45 but the claimant wished to settle for $50,000. Mr. Simon, via letter from his attorney, returned with a counter offer of $46,034.68. The City Attorney noted that she had received a verbal authorization by Mr. Simon, to put forward his latest counter offer of $25,000. She pointed out that an additional $4,000.00 could be added to the recommended $9,000.00 for termination expenses at the golf course site, including interest. She recommended a maximum settlement offer of $20,000.00. David Schmidt, pointed out that the $46,034.68 was based on the City's position; however, in discussion with the City Attorney, he noted that his client would be willing to settle for $25,000. Mr. Schmidt stated that he would be willing to split the difference; otherwise, he felt confident of the claim at that amount. If not approved, then his client would consider arbitration under the contract. Upon question by Mayor Lynch, the City Attorney ex- plained that there were other figures which were presented. The larger amount of monies were due to the "demucking" which had to occur at the Lake Ida site. She felt that it would be inappro- priate to include those costs, but they were potential costs which would have come from the Lake Ida site itself. Dr. Alperin felt that the City Attorney's offer of $20,000 would be sufficient; however, he would be willing to go along with the counter offer of $25,000 in order to resolve the matter. Mayor Lynch stated that he had a problem with this proposal as he felt the contract was pretty clear in the negoti- ating process, and that he would agree to the $9,283.45. Dr. Alperin moved approval of the settlement offer with Mr. Simon in the amount of $22,500.00, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - No; Mrs. Smith - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote. 7 7/19/94 9.G. APPOINTMENT TO PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RELATIONS COMMISSION= Appoint a regular member (neutral capacity) to the Public Employ- ees Relations Commission, to a term ending June 26, 1998. Mayor Lynch stated that he wished to appoint Harvey Brown, Sr. Mr. Ellingsworth moved to appoint Harvey Brown, Sr. as the regular member (neutral capacity) to the Public Employees Relations Commission, to a term ending June 26, 1998, seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 9.H. APPOINTMENTS TO THE EDUCATION BOARD: Appoint four members to the Education Board to terms ending July 31, 1996.

Mr. Ellingsworth moved to appoint Kathy Shabotynskyj, to the Education Board to a term ending July 31, 1996, seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 9.I. FY 1994/95 BUDGET PRESENTATION/ESTABLISHMENT OF PRO- POSED MILLAGE RATE= The City Manager provided an overview of the procedure of establishing a proposed millage rate which will then be used by the Property Appraiser's Office to notify residents of their taxes. He noted that the City's two budget hearings will be held during the month of September which will be noticed, along with the proposed taxes. A tentative millage will be set at the first hearing with the final millage to be set at the second hearing. 8 7/19/94 Revenue and expense figures will be presented this evening, as well as the millage computation and some alternatives that have been requested by some department heads which he felt should be given serious consideration. The City Manager pointed out that the proposed revenues were slightly higher; however, during the course of the year the City will continue to strive to reduce expenses. At this point, the budget thus far reflects that all existing programs and all filled positions are funded. Also, one frozen police officer position has been funded in this budget proposal. In regard to revenues, there will be a total increase in Ad Valorem Tax Revenues over $18 million, a significant amount of which will go to the CRA because their values have risen higher than the City's. The City Manager pointed out that these are preliminary figures and noted that he is still reviewing projected revenues from different building related activities (i.e. building permits, zoning applications, etc.). Preliminary operating revenues are projected in excess of $39 million for the coming fiscal year, which is an approximate increase of $55,000 overall from last fiscal year. In regard to non-operating reve- nues (County Bed Tax) which is expected for the next phase of the Tennis Center, $30,000 of the prior year's surplus was previously approved by the Commission this evening for the Main Street Program. The City Manager noted that there were several proposed budgets which he has not as yet reviewed which includes two major departments (Parks & Recreation and Fire Department). A position was cut from each of the Finance and Purchasing Departments. There are some staff reductions in the engineering services due to the fact that some major bond issue projects are coming to a close; however, some employees will be used in the utilities area so they will not be funded out of the General Fund. New programs were proposed by some departments for this fiscal year and the City Manager asked the Commission to review them carefully and provide direction. One is the continuation of the Police Department's West Atlantic Avenue Walking Beat. The cost to fund this program is $243,580.00 which will allow for the hiring of six new police officers (a staff of eight and drawing two officers via reassignment). A second proposal from the Police Department is to expand policing within the beach area, the northeast section, and the southeast section. These are referred to as grid areas which will be a cost of $78,000 per team/grid. The third item is a request from Parks & Recreation Department for landscaping maintenance of parks. There will be a reduction of the department's temporary services in the amount of $40,000. The City Manager recommended that the millage rate should remain at 8 mills; however, he felt that the storm water utility fee needs to be increased as there is a substantial amount of major drainage that still needs to be done. 9 7/19/94 Dr. Alperin felt the millage rate could not stay the same and that it needs to go down. Mayor Lynch suggested that the storm water utility fee could be doubled which would allow for excess monies to install the mains when the road is being torn up rather than going back at a later date and doing it again. He felt that it would be money well spent and would add some flexibility. Mrs. Smith moved to double the current stormwater utility fee (27 to 54); and, to tentatively keep the proposed millage rate at 8 mills, seconded by Dr. Alperin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 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. Prior to the regularly scheduled public comment portion of the agenda, Mrs. Adele Jackel, 784 N.W. 25th Avenue, read a statement prepared by Mr. Arthur Jackel, addressing three items: (1) Support of an appropriation in the amount of $500,000 for the addition of twelve Police officers to the City's force in the upcoming fiscal year; (2) that a public parking garage be spon- sored by the CRA and the Chamber of Commerce to support retailers in the downtown area; and (3) the need to give attention to the concerns of young adults in the City. A copy of the statement read by Mrs. Jackel is attached hereto and made a permanent record of the Minutes of this meeting. !0. Public Hear£nqs: The Commission considered Items 10.A. and 10.A.1. jointly as they were close in nature; however, there were two separate motions. 10.A. ORDINANCE NO. 56-94: An ordinance rezoning a 7.49 acre vacant parcel from MIC (Mixed Industrial and Commercial) District to CF (Community Facilities) District. The subject property is located at the northwest corner of Congress Avenue and N.W. 1st Street and is proposed to accommodate a satellite facility for the County's bus system. Planning and Zoning Board recommends approval (6 to 0 vote). Prior to consideration of passage of this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time. The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 56-94: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, REZONING AND PLACING LAND PRESENTLY ZONED MIC (MIXED INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT IN THE CF -10- 7/19/94 (COMMUNITY FACILITIES) DISTRICT; SAID LAND BEING LOCATED AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF CONGRESS AVENUE AND N.W. 1ST STREET; AND AMENDING "ZONING MAP OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORI- DA, 1994"; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, A SAVING CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (Copy of Ordinance No 56-94 is on file in the official Ordinance Book) A public hearing was held having been legally adver- tised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida. The City Attorney stated that this is a Quasi-Judicial Hearing item. The City Clerk sworn in those individuals who wished to give testimony on this item. Mr. John Walker, Project Coordinator, stated that staff places in evidence Planning and Zoning Department's File No. 94-112-REZ-CCA, Co-Tran Rezoning, containing 22 Exhibits. Also placed in evidence File No. 94-113-USE-CCA, Co-Tran Conditional Use Approval, containing 27 Exhibits. He noted that these files contain the Staff Reports, citations from the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations, which in effect, put those documents in their entirety into evidence. Each file also con- tains a listing of the documents within the file. Mr. Walker presented a copy of the listing to the City Clerk. Mr. Walker explained that Co-Tran is expanding countywide, using Federal Highway dollars and local gas tax funds. The number of buses and the number of routes will be doubled and the time waiting for the buses is being reduced to thirty minutes; also, there is an addition of covered bus shel- ters. He pointed out that these changes are already in progress and do not require City approval. As a part of its expansion, Co-Tran proposes a satellite terminal in Delray Beach, on 7.49 acres and is to be located on the west side of Congress Avenue, north of Atlantic Avenue and immediately on the north side of N.W. 1st Street. Currently the parcel is zoned MIC which allows a total of 82,000 square feet of use (20,500 square feet each of retail, official, financial and industrial). The proposed zoning for the site is CF and the conditional use is for the establishment for a bus terminal. The site contains parking for 59 buses, employee parking, a retention area, an operations building of 4,000 square feet to the south, and a maintenance building of 10,000 square feet to the north which includes six bays, a fueling and wash area. Mr. Walker stated that Planning staff finds that the site is consistent with the Future Land Use Map, consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the surrounding neighborhood, and complies with the LDRs. Traffic generation on the site is a total of 508 daily trips, which is 20% of the potential traffic generation of the current zoning. Buffering on the west will include an eight foot berm with landscaping and the location of the bus parking is 370 feet from the nearest residential line. Buffering on the east side will be a thirty-foot landscaping buffer with a berm. He noted that some of the concerns that staff has investigated include noise, air quality, employment issues and operating costs. Also, as part of its analysis, staff visited the West Palm Beach facility during its peak operating time (6:00 A.M.). The Planning and Zoning Board considered this item on June 20, 1994, and unanimously recommended to approve the request as submitted. Mr. Paul Schofield, Palm Beach County, submitted into evidence a revised drawing as an additional exhibit which incor- porates items which were requested by staff such as a cul-de-sac, a lift station, some planting islands and perimeter islands around the buildings. It was noted by the City Attorney that the exhibits were included as part of the rezoning application and it was not necessary that they be numbered exhibits. Mr. Schofield pointed out that some of the factors for the selection of this site for the proposed facility were its location, the parcel had to be for sale and vacant with no envi- ronmental problems. He noted the uses which surround the parcel. Initially access was proposed from Congress Avenue; however, at staff's request the access from the site will be via N.W. 1st Street. There was a concern for a 60 foot right-of-way with only 50 feet being available; but, as long as the City is willing to allow the variance, the County is willing to build a road which will cost $18,500. The cost of the lift station is approximately $50,000 and, at their expense, will also add a gravity sewer line along the property line which was requested by staff. It was noted by Mr. Schofield that when the property is rezoned to CF, it will not be a taxed facility. The total taxes which were paid on the property last year was approximately $25,000 which was paid to all governments (County, School Board, City and special taxing districts). In compensation for that loss, there are going to be 130 jobs available on this site and it is anticipated that 80 will be new jobs, with an average salary of $27,000 in base salary. He anticipated approximately $800,000 per year of operational savings. In arrangement with the Private Industry Council, there will be recruiting and train- ing for a majority of individuals from the Delray area for these new positions. 7/19/94 The following individuals spoke in support of the proposed rezoning: Carolyn Zimmerman, resident, feels it is essential that the bus service be improved and that the satellite facility will offer an excellent opportunity for employment opportunities. She urged the residents not to worry about whether it is located in "their backyard", the use is very much needed and presents the City with a "golden opportunity". Chris Brown, 1101 North Swinton, feels that it is very important that the City sends a signal to other communities that the City is supportive of mass transit. Also, it is a very important vote for economic development and is a very important industry. The Congress Avenue corridor is an appropriate loca- tion to promote growth. Helen Coopersmith, representing Progressive Residents of Delray (PROD), stated that PROD consists of 23 Homeowners Associations who attended many meetings and support the proposed zoning and use for this site. PROD members visited the facility in West Palm Beach. She emphasized that there is a great need for this type of transit for use by the handicapped, elderly and single car families. The developer of a new residential develop- ment is aware of the proposed facility at this site and states in a letter dated June 27th that he has no problem in proceeding with his planned development. In a meeting held this date, the members of PROD voted to support the proposed rezoning on this site for a Co-Tran satellite facility. Murial Brooks, representing the residents of Pines of Delray North, concurred with comments expressed previously. She pointed out that originally some members had attended a previous meeting when this issue was discussed and had voiced their oppo- sition; however, the Board of the Pines of Delray North are in full support of the proposal. She pointed out that several years ago, one of the Board members had contacted Co-Tran and Route 24, which runs on Lake Ida Road and cuts through Delray Park of Commerce, stops directly in front of their community and many residents use this transit system. Sam McGee, Executive Director of T.E.D. Center, stated that the Center fully supports the satellite facility and feels that it would be a boost to the economy. Also, that T.E.D. Center would like to provide some services for Co-Tran such as training employees. Richard Eckerly, Woodlake Homeowners Association, pointed out that there are 292 homes in the community which are located less than a mile from the location of the proposed facil- ity. The Woodlake Homeowners Association fully supports the satellite facility. -13- 7/19/94 Scott Hawkins, Attorney representing the property owner, emphasized that there is scientific data which proves there will be no adverse impact regarding noise or air quality of this proposed development. Also, that the proposed location is appropriate, it is an available site and requirements have been met. He urged the Commission to vote in favor of the rezoning and conditional use approval. The following individuals spoke in opposition: Jack Kellerman, President of High Point Residents Action Committee, stated that as a former member of the Planning and Zoning Board he has been aware of the many problems within the City. He pointed out that a major traffic concern is the intersection of Atlantic and Congress Avenues. Mr. Kellerman noted that he had urged the City for many years to rezone the west side of Congress Avenue from Atlantic Avenue to Lake Ida Road. He emphasized that there would be no objections from the residents in the area if the facility were to be located on the east site rather than the west side of Congress Avenue. Mr. Kellerman stated that each section of High Point, a community consisting of over 2,000 families, have submitted letters of objection. He pointed out that there are a number of vacant properties which are located on the east side of Congress Avenue. He emphasized that the proposed location is one of the most important single parcels of industrial-zoned land left in the City because of its location and size; and, that the City should wait for a better offer as it is an important tax base. Alice Finst, representing the Board of Directors of Chatalaine Subdivision, stated that she concurred with comments made previously by Mr. Kellerman. She emphasized that this particular parcel is quite valuable and does not feel the land- scaping will be satisfactory in future years. Mrs. Finst urged the Commission to consider the importance of what will be located on that land for many, many years to come. Also, if the facility does not live up to promises being made, what type of control does the City have over the County and/or Federal government? She urged the Board to consider the entrance into the western section of the community. Tom Haenlon stated that he was not pro or con regarding the proposed rezoning and conditional use approval. He had attended the Palm Beach Board of County Commission meeting when they considered the gasoline tax which was approved. The Co-Tran transit system has been in existence for approximately fourteen years. He brought attention to a recently published article by the Palm Beach Post newspaper which stated the worst public transit system in the country was right here in Palm Beach County. He pointed out that many large buses commuting within the city are empty and the Tri-Rail feeder line is also operating at a low capacity. Mr. Haenlon suggested that Co-Tran should -14- 7/19/94 present proof with statistics of their services, and relief of congestion along the City's highways. The Public Hearing was closed. At this point, the Commission asked questions of the applicant. Mr. Ellingsworth asked if the the new facility planned to issue payroll checks at this site. Also, would there be a reconfiguration on Congress Avenue to allow turn lanes, north and south and would stacking lanes be necessary. In regard to the retention pond, he questioned if there is there any intention for reconfiguration to run parallel to the canal in order to give a better buffer to the residential area to the west. Irving Cure, Executive Director of Co-Tran, responded that payroll checks would be issued at the site and drawn from Barnett Bank. In response to turn lanes, there will be no chang- es on Congress Avenue; however, N.W. 1st Street will be improved since turn lanes are not required because of the low traffic volume. Since traffic during the peak hour of operation amounts to approximately 50 trips, turn lanes are not warranted. In regard to stacking, it would not be necessary as the only buses going north would be serving one of the local streets such as Lake Ida Road. There are strict regulations in regard to reten- tion ponds. In response to Mayor Lynch's inquiry regarding the size of buses that will be used, the largest in terms of capacity is seating for 59 persons. If a variance is not granted, an en- trance on Congress Avenue will be located at the north end of the site where a turn lane currently exists. The adjacent property owner has agreed to donate the other 25 feet as long as Co-Tran pays for the construction of the road. In response to Mrs. Smith's inquiry regarding bounda- ries of service being provided, Mr. Cure stated that the northern boundary is Lantana Road, the southern boundary is the south county line, and from the ocean west to Route 441. There will be 143 total employees at the site. Mr. Cure responded to Dr. Alperin's question as to the maximum capacity of the site by stating that the original site plan which is before the Commission is 43 bus parking spaces; however, the revised site plan which was submitted into evidence reflects a maximum of 66 spaces but will probably be somewhat less by the time the final site plan is completed. Mr. Cure stated that efficiency could be controlled; however, he consid- ered the issue of effectiveness as a political decision. He noted that Co-Tran is perhaps one of the most efficient mass transit systems of its size in an urbanized area. -15- 7/19/94 In conclusion, the applicant pointed out that the landscaping is a condition of approval which has to be complied with in order to complete the facility; that the site will be there for the long term; that in order to receive Federal fund- ing, studies reflect that ridership will by doubling the number of buses; and, Co-Tran wants to be a good neighbor. Dr. Alperin moved for adoption of Ordinance No. 56-95 on Second and FINAL Reading, for rezoning from MIC to CF based upon positive findings with respect to Chapter 3 (Performance Standards) of the Land Development Regulations, Policies of the Comprehensive Plan and Section 2.4.5(D) (5), seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 10.A.1. CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL/CO-TRAN SATELLITE FACILITY: Consider a request for conditional use approval to establish a Co-Tran transportation terminal on property located at the north- west corner of Congress Avenue and N.W. 1st Street. Planning and Zoning Board recommends approval (6 to 0 vote). A public hearing was held having been legally adver- tised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida. Dr. Alperin moved approval of the Conditional Use request based upon the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board and upon positive findings with respect to Section 3.1.1. and Section 2.4.5(E) (5) (Conditional Use Finding) and policies of the Comprehensive Plan subject to the conditions are outlined in the P&Z Staff Report, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. Prior to roll call, Mayor Lynch stated that the appli- cant has done a commendable job in addressing the fears of the residents of the City as there were numerous individuals who had addressed their concerns. Further, that the facility will live up to all expectations and improve the quality of mass transit transportation, offer employment opportunities and will present a good long-term relationship between both parties. 10.B. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT/PROPOSED STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES AND PROJECTED USE OF FUNDS 1994-95: Conduct a public hearing and consider approval of the CDBG Program's Proposed Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds for FY 1994-95, in accordance with Federal regulations. A public hearing was held having been legally adver- tised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida. -16- 7/19/94 Lula Butler, Director of Community Improvement, stated that prior to this annual public hearing, a "Needs Assessment" meeting was held on May 25, 1994, which complied with Federal regulations to receive participation from the affected citizens who will use these monies and as to how the monies will be used. She noted that there were six requests for funding for this year's grant program from different agencies totaling $223,000; however, the recommended amount is $106,000. Mrs. Butler highlighted the reasons for several re- quests for funding which had been denied and presented an over- view of the proposed use of funds for FY 94/95. One request for funding was received from The Haitian Outreach Center for $70,000 for acquisition of the building which is currently being leased. The funding was denied due to the fact that a firm sales contract with the owner of the property was not available. Another request came from the Urban League of Palm Beach County for $43,000. They proposed that funding be used for one full time staff position and one part-time clerical position in order to provide counseling services for housing placement. Funding was not recommended for this agency; however, there is a component of their program that staff would like to see main- tained, which is funding for families who are delinquent in their mortgage and utility payments. Although, it was not recommended in this year's proposed grant, and since this service is not duplicated in the City, they would like to propose that the budget be amended to allow funding for a component of their program called a "Pre-Homeless Program" in order to provide some type of assistance to residents. Mrs. Butler stated that the City's allocation is $643,000 and preferred to see the entire allocation be used as a capital item as opposed to being used for administration and planning. Leroy Harrison, 321 Ross Drive, spoke on behalf of the Urban League of Palm Beach County. He explained that the organ- ization has served residents of the City since 1983 and conducts many needed services and cooperates with other agencies. Mr. Harrison urged the Commission to approve the funding. Carolyn Holder, President of the Lincoln Park Homeown- ers Association of S.W. 9th Avenue, stated that she is working with senior residents who have not had their street paved in over 30 years. She pointed out that there is crime in the neighbor- hood and cited poor drainage and the poor condition of sidewalks in the area. The Public Hearing was closed. -17- 7/19/94 Mrs. Butler pointed out that S.W. 9th Avenue is a proposed project with $106,000 allocated for CBDG's FY 94/95 budget to offset the cost of the water/sewer funds. This will cover the cost of sidewalk improvements, the reconstruction of swells and the upgrading of water mains. Mrs. Smith moved approval of the Proposed Statement, 1994-95 Community Development Block Grant, seconded by Mr. Ellingsworth. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 10.C. ORDINANCE NO. 57-94 An ordinance amending the Advisory Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan by changing the land use designation of a 1.3 acre vacant parcel from Low Density Residential to Transitional. The subject property is located on the north side of Atlantic Avenue, at Hamlet Drive (extended) and is known as the DiMarzio property. Planning and Zoning Board recommends approval (6 to 0 vote). Prior to consideration of passage of this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this time. The City Manager presented Ordinance No 57-94: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, CHANGING THE ADVISORY FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR A PARCEL OF LAND AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED HEREIN FROM LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO TRANSITIONAL; SAID LAND BEING LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF ATLANTIC AVENUE, AT HAMLET DRIVE (EXTENDED); ELECTING TO PROCEED UNDER THE SINGLE HEARING ADOPTION PROCESS FOR SMALL SCALE LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENTS; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, A SAVING CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (Copy of Ordinance No 57-94 is on file in the official Ordinance Book). Assistant City Attorney Tolces read the Ordinance in its entirety. A public hearing was held having been legally adver- tised in compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of Delray Beach, Florida. The public hearing was closed. Mr. Ellingsworth moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 57-94 on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Smith -18- 7/19/94 Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 11. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items from the Public- Immediately following Public Hearings. 11.A. City Manager's response to prior public comments and inquiries. In response to an inquiry for a proposal for a right turn lane where Homewood Boulevard intersects Atlantic Avenue, staff reviewed the traffic counts and what the traffic conditions will be after the widening is completed. It has been verified that there is sufficient right-of-way but we will not know if an additional lane is warranted until such time that the improve- ments are completed. The City Manager responded to a question regarding the overgrowth of landscaping at Veterans's Park. The overgrowth has been cleaned up and will be maintained until such time as the facility is demolished. Upon question by Mayor Lynch relative to the pumps at the new Lift Station, the City Manager explained that horsepower has to be increased in two other lift stations. Work is proceed- ing on both pumps. He noted that the second pump also needs increased power; however, that depends upon FP&L's ability to get additional power to the lift station. 11.B. From the Public. 11.B.1. Lillian Feldman expressed concern regarding insuffi- cient lighting along Homewood Boulevard and requested that the City check into the matter. 11.B.2. Bill Schwartz, 3863 Live Oak Boulevard, noted the absence of the All-America City banner from the Chambers and suggested that it be returned. Mr. Schwartz stated that he is very proud of the City and its many accomplishments and suggested that proper signage be installed on every north and south arterial roadway to welcome people to the City of Delray Beach, an "Ail America City". At this point the Commission proceeeded to the First Readings portion of the Agenda. 12. First Readings: 12.A. ORDINANCE NO. 58-94: An ordinance amending Section 90.02, "Abandonment of Property or Wrecked or Inoperable Motor Vehicles on Public Property", of the City's Code to provide that enforcement officers be authorized to administer the provisions of this section. If passed, public hearing on August 2, 1994. -19- 7/19/94 The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 58-94: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 90, "ABANDONED PROPERTY; JUNKYARDS", OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, BY AMENDING SECTION 90.02, "ABANDONMENT OF PROPERTY OR WRECKED OR INOPERABLE MOTOR VEHICLES ON PUBLIC PROPER- TY'', SUBSECTION (B), TO PROVIDE THAT ENFORCE- MENT OFFICERS BE AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE, A SAVING CLAUSE, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Assistant City Attorney Tolces read the caption of the Ordinance. Dr. Alperin moved for the adoption of Ordinance 58-94 on FIRST Reading, seconded by Mrs. Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. Prior to roll call, Dr. Alperin asked if there was any financial responsibility on the part of the owner of the aban- doned vehicle to pay for disposal charges. Discussion was had relative to the City being able to recoup expenses for disposal of abandoned vehicles. It was the consensus of the Commission to direct the City Attorney to re- search the matter. The Commission returned to Item 9.J. on the Regular portion of the agenda. 9.J. AGREEMEnT/SIX SOUT~ RESTAURA1F~: Consider a license agreement between the City and Shahnt Restaurant Corp. (Six South Restaurant) which would allow licensee to construct and maintain a sidewalk along the west side of the bathroom building at the corner of Atlantic Avenue and A1A, for limited access purposes. The City Attorney stated that there are certain provi- sions of the license agreement due to certain restrictions in the deed, should there be any problem with the possibility of the commercial use ceasing to exist. Mayor Lynch asked if a termination clause was included in the license agreement. The City Attorney explained that the Commission has the ability to add a termination clause with or without a sixty (60) day prior notice. -20- 7/19/94 Mrs. Smith asked if the liability insurance in the amount of $500,000 was sufficient. Mr. Tolces responded that in discussions with the City's Risk Management Administrator, the amount was deemed sufficient. After discussion, Dr. Alperin moved approval of the license agreement between the City and Shahnt Restaurant (Six South Restaurant), with or without a written termination clause of a sixty (60) day prior notice including liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000.00, seconded by Mr. Ellingsworth. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 9.K. (ADDENDUM ITEM) - CHANGE ORDER NO 1/ASPHALT CONSTRUC- TION OF PALM BEACH, INC.: Consider add Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $19,842.25 to Asphalt Construction of Palm Beach, Inc. for work required to construct a temporary access road to School Site "S" from the Linton Boulevard/Germantown Road intersection; with funding from General Construction Fund - School Site "S" (Account No. 334-3162-541-63.13).

Upon roll call the Commis- sion voted as follows: Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 13. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Aqenda Items. 13.A.1. Mrs. Smith inquired as to the status of the blinking traffic lights located on East Atlantic Avenue at 1st and 3rd Avenues. She pointed out that the downtown merchants would like to have the blinking lights remain at those locations as opposed to the possibility of taking the lights out altogether. Mrs. Smith reported that the Main Street Task Team has extended an invitation to the Commission to attend a meeting which will be held Wednesday, July 20th, at 5:15 P.M. at the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce. Commissioner Smith complimented Police Officer Sherry Settelen, Sergent Tamijo Kayworth, Officers Amy Sinnott and Rod Payne on their achievements and awards which they had received during the Florida Law Enforcement Olympics. 13.A.2. Dr. Alperin commented that he has received some appli- cations for the Kids and Cops Committee from individuals who appear to possess credentials which could be very beneficial to the committee. He asked that staff forward these applications to the Commission for review and suggested that perhaps the Kids and -21- 7/19/94 Cops Ordinance be modified in some way to accommodate additional membership. 13.A.3. Mr. Ellingsworth reported that the South Central Regional Waste Treatment Development Board will be conducting a budget meeting on Thursday evening (July 21st), and suggested that members of the Commission attend if at all possible. 13.A.4. Mayor Lynch commented that he had recently received the quarterly attendance report for the various City boards and committees and was concerned about the irregular attendance of some members at meetings. He emphasized the feeling that if appointees are not going to make the commitment to attend and be active on the boards, he will not support their ongoing appoint- ments. He further feels that the three-meeting rule should be strictly enforced. The City Attorney noted that there are certain boards and committees which are governed by statutory regulations as opposed to the City's three-meeting rule, and that dismissal from such a board is not necessarily automatic but requires that a specific hearing process be followed. She advised that she had prepared and distributed a memorandum to the chairpersons of all the boards/committees informing them of the various rules and regulations with respect to attendance at meetings. Mayor Lynch expressed concern about the seeming lack of participation on the part of some residents in certain areas along Swinton Avenue with respect to watering the grass and landscaping recently installed as part of the beautification project. Lula Butler, Director of Community Improvement, stated that staff has provided friendly reminders which were placed on the doors of residents along Swinton Avenue. She noted that this is the third attempt by the City to remind the residents of their commitment to maintain the beautification. Mayor Lynch also advised that he had given a talk about Delray Beach and how it has changed, its accomplishments and the "reinventing government" perspective of the Commission at a meeting of cities from Palm Beach County recently, and he was contacted by the Florida League of Cities about giving it at the upcoming convention in August which he has agreed to do. 13.B. The City Attorney stated that she will be sending the Commission the Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption Ordinance of Palm Beach County. It essentially provides for certain tax exemptions on new businesses that meet the definition of the number of employees, and expanding businesses, which may have some impact especially on the CRA. She advised that the County may be anticipating it going to referendum in September because it would take such a vote, so she will be looking for input from the Commission and their feelings on it. -22- 7/19/94 13.C. The City Manager advised that his office has an intern working with them for about four or five weeks, and asked Mr. Barcinski to introduce him. Mr. Barcinski introduced Mr. Dedrick Straghn, a gradu- ate of Atlantic High School who will be entering his Junior year at Bethune Cookman in the fall. His major interests are in politics and law. Mr. Straghn has been hired as a management intern with the City Manager's Office and will be working on two special projects during his time with us; one being the develop- ment of a fee booklet, by department, of all the various fees in the city and the other, assisting in the gathering of the new boundary maps for the school districts by putting together and analyzing some of the statistical data. There being no further business, Mayor Lynch declared the meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
