Yes; Mr. Randolph Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith. Said

9. REGULAR AGENDA:
9.A.A AWARD OF BIDS AND CONTRACTS:
1. Bid award - three-year lease of copier (Xerox
5355) for Police Department - to the Xerox Corpo-
ration via Florida State Contract, for a total of
$21,240 for the 36 month period. Funding is
available from Police Support - Equipment Rental
and Leases (Account No. 001-2113-521-44.30).
Mayor Lynch asked the City Manager what the difference
in cost would be between leasing the copier versus purchasing the
copier?
The City Manager stated he did not recall if a compara-
tive analysis had been done in this instance. As experienced
with the City Clerk's copier, after 3 or 4 years, between the
technology upgrades and wear and tear on the machine, the copiers
usually need to be replaced. However, a lease vs. purchase
analysis could be completed easily enough. Mayor Lynch asked if
the maintenance costs were included in the lease agreement? The
City Manager stated he was not positive that maintenance is
included, and recommended that this item be deferred to the next
regular meeting to allow additional time to answer these ques-
tions.
2. Bid Award - for lot clearing and mowing of nui-
sance abatements for Code Enforcement, to Seagull
Industries for the Disabled, Inc. as primary
contractor, and Walcott & Son as secondary con-
tractor, at an estimated annual cost of $20,000,
-4- 12/6/94
with funding from Code Enforcement - Lot Mow-
ing/Clearing (Account No. 001-2741-524-34.30).
Mayor Lynch questioned the disparity between the dollar
figures bid by the various companies in the different categories.
He felt there must have been a mistake in the bidding to explain
the drastic difference in the bids and suggested that they should
have been analyzed more closely. However, he is in favor of the
bid award as recommended.
3. Bid Award - for Advanced Life Support Rescue
Vehicle, to National Ambulance Builders, Inc., at a
cost of $91,505.50, with funding from City Garage -
Vehicle Replacement (Account No. 501-3312-591-64.20).
Mayor Lynch asked why the vehicle is being funded from
the Renewal and Replacement Account instead of the Capital Expen-
ditures Account of the Fire Department's budget if it is an
entirely new piece of equipment? Also, the Mayor noted the
backup material indicates that the new vehicle will replace a
current reserve vehicle. If it is a 1990 vehicle and only used
for reserve, why is it already outdated? Further, it is recom-
mended that we buy an extended warranty. Warranties usually run
about 3 years and if we're only going to keep the vehicle about
three years, why would we need the extended warranty?
The City Manager stated that the new vehicle will
replace an existing ALS vehicle.
Robert Rehr, Fire Chief, advised that a few years ago
the Fire Department decided to move from a lower weight to a
higher gross weight vehicle because of the weight these units
carry and an anticipated extension of the life expectancy of the
higher weight vehicles by probably three additional years. As
for the 1990 vehicle that is being replaced, it was determined to
replace this vehicle as opposed to the older 1989 unit due to the
number of mechanical problems that have occurred with the 1990
vehicle. The Department is getting a better service life from
the 1989 vehicle, so it was decided to replace the 1990.
4. Purchase of two FM Antennas (Persoft Intersect
Wireless Bridges) at a cost of $13,895 fully
installed, from sole source vendor, FM Associates
Limited, with funding from Water and Sewer Renewal
and Replacement - Other Machinery and Equipment
(Account No. 441-5161-536-64.90).
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve Items 2, 3, and 4 of
the Award of Bids and Contracts, with Item 1 deferred to a future
meeting, 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.
-5- 12/6/94
9.A. REVIEW OF APPEALABLE LAND DEVELOPMENT BOARD ACTIONS:
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 November 14 through
December 2, 1994.
Dr. Alperin moved to receive and file the report,
seconded by Mr. Randolph. 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.
.9.B. ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS/ROADHOUSE GRILL RESTAURANT:
Consider the architectural elevations for the Roadhouse Grill
Restaurant to be located at the northwest corner of Linton Boule-
vard and Federal Highway, an outparcel of the Delray Mall.
On question from Mayor Lynch, the City Manager stated
that this is before the Commission because the code requires that
the materials and design be compatible with the main building.
This is an outparcel at the Delray Mall, and the style and ma-
terials are somewhat different. The Site Plan Review and Appear-
ance Board is recommending that it be approved despite the dif-
ferences.
Robert Basehart, Agent with Basehart & Cottrell, Inc.,
stated that the site plan, landscape plan and architectural
elevations had all been approved by SPRAB, but as indicated by
the City Manager, because the materials and colors are not iden-
tical to the main mall building, City Commission approval is
required.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve the architectural
elevations for the Roadhouse Grill Restaurant, 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.C. AGREEMENT WITH PALM ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION FOR USE
OF THE TENNIS STADIUM: Consider an agreement with Palm Enter-
tainment Corporation to provide a series of concerts or events at
the Tennis Stadium each year.
Joseph Weldon, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated
the City has been looking for alternate uses for the tennis
stadium other than tennis and has worked very hard with promoters
in trying to get concerts and other events in there. This hasn't
been overly successful, due in large part to the limited seating.
Now with the addition of the 5,000 seats, an agreement has been
worked out with a promoter for a five year contract to put on a
minimum of four to eight events per year.
6 12/6/94
Dr. Alperin stated that while he likes the agreement,
he is concerned about the Chamber of Commerce being able to use
the facility during the Delray Affair or to put on an event.
Discussion on this point followed, with the Commission expressing
concern about the ability of the Chamber, Old School Square or
other civic groups having access to the stadium for their events.
The City Manager stated it is anticipated that if Old
School Square or the Chamber or some other local group wants to
bring something in, then they would work with this promoter and
one of his events for the year would be done in conjunction with
another local sponsor.
Mayor Lynch commented that part of the original goal
for this arrangement is that it would be a for-profit corpora-
tion, from which the City will also make some money. The more
successful an event, the better. In discussing some ways that
charities could be involved, it was suggested that maybe a func-
tion could be held before or after an event, from which all or
the majority of the proceeds from that function would go to
charity. By doing this, the charities would benefit and would
also support the concert.
At this point, David Tolces, Assistant City Attorney,
reviewed certain aspects of the agreement. He advised that the
name of the company has to be changed from Palm Entertainment
Corporation because that name has already been reserved by anoth-
er company. The new name will be Palm Acts, Inc. He went on to
note that there is a requirement in the agreement that the pro-
moter provide a $150,000.00 bond to the City which is intended to
protect purchasers of tickets in the event something happens
where the corporation is not able to fulfill their obligations
under the agreement. Palm Acts, Inc. is having difficulty ob-
taining a bond because the bonding companies are asking them to
put up $150,000 cash as opposed to just a percentage as most
bonds might require. One option would be for the City to get a
guarantee from Gemini, the parent corporation, to guarantee all
the obligations. Another option is to enter into some sort of
arrangement where they would provide some sort of security, like
a cashier's check, within a certain amount of time prior to an
event which the City would hold. In case something happened, the
City would then have the money to refund the tickets. Mr. Tolces
stated that he felt the latter option might be the better way to
go, provided it is acceptable to Mr. Van Arnem, because it gives
everyone the necessary flexibility to determine what type of
security is needed for each individual event. Mr. Tolces sug-
gested that on page 20 of the agreement, paragraph 39, at the end
of the second sentence, the language "or other security accept-
able to the City" be included. If this is acceptable, then the
first sentence of paragraph 39 should be deleted from the agree-
ment.
7 12/6/94
Mayor Lynch stated that he will abstain from the vote
on this issue since he writes the insurance for Gemini Group,
Inc.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve the agreement, sub-
ject to incorporation of the following changes: (1) name change
from Palm Entertainment Corporation to Palm Acts, Inc.; (2)
revisions to paragraph 39 deleting the bonding requirement and
providing other security acceptable to the City; and (3) language
to the effect that Palm Acts, Inc. will agree to work in good
faith with local charities to hold fund raising events in con-
junction with use of the tennis stadium; seconded by Dr. Alperin.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Smith -
Yes; Vice-Mayor Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Ran-
dolph - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote (Mayor Lynch
abstained from the vote).
At this point, the time being 7:15 p.m., Mayor Lynch
moved to the duly-advertised Public Hearings portion of the
meeting.

ance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the

Mayor Lynch declared the public hearing open.
Carl Podesta, attorney representing the applicants,
noted that her clients had voluntarily amended their zoning
petition to request the lower density zoning of RL which allows 3
to 6 units per acre. Further, the annexation action is consis-
tent with processing of voluntary annexation petitions as direct-
ed by the City Commission at the October 11, 1994, workshop. Ms.
Podesta urged Commission approval.
Dan Bernheim, Jr., 4198 Live Oak Boulevard, Del Aire,
feels the Commission is acting with no consistency when it comes
to establishing planning and zoning determinations. He stated
residents of Del Aire along with other communities from this
quadrant of Delray Beach are concerned about the annexation and
the effect it will have on the community. He is opposed to this
annexation until the Commission can show the citizens that there
is a consistent and understandable policy relative to the annexa-
tion and zoning of the buildable residential lands.
The public hearing was closed.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING TITLE
XI, "BUSINESS REGULATIONS", OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA, BY REPEALING CHAPTER 112, "ALARM
SYSTEMS", IN ITS ENTIRETY, AND ENACTING A NEW

CITY OF DELRAY BEACH; PROVIDING A GENERAL

(Copy of Ordinance No. 91-94 is on file in the official
Ordinance Book)
-13- 12/6/94
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. A
public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compli-
ance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the
City of Delray Beach, Florida.
Mayor Lynch opened the floor for public comment.
Jean Beer, Tropic Boulevard, is concerned with the
$25.00 registration fee for registering an alarm. She suggested
since some residents are already wired into a central system,
would it not be simpler for the City to go to each of these
security system companies and ask them for a list of their Delray
customers?
Mayor Lynch stated this cannot be done because the
information is confidential.
Mrs. Beer feels to charge everyone $25.00 for the
privilege of registering an alarm is an unnecessary fee. She
stated a lot of people may not register their systems because of
the fee, and feels the City is only going to find those people
that have a prOblem with their systems.
Mayor Lynch stated, Mrs. Beer has a good point and
asked if anyone has come up with a theory for those people who do
not register their alarm systems.
The City Manager stated, as Mrs. Beer indicated, even-
tually if any residents have a problem with their alarm systems,
the City will become aware of the problem.
Joe Camarodi, Tropic Palms, previously had a transmit-
ter system that was constantly failing. Consequently, Mr.
Camarodi decided it was such an inconvenience to the Police
department he replaced the entire system for $2,000.00, with a
central system and pays a monthly charge. He stated that in one
area of the County, alarm systems are wired directly into the
Sheriff's Department and they do not allow outside alarms. He
also stated the County charges a monthly fee for this service.
Mayor Lynch stated at one time alarm systems were wired
directly into the Police department. However, this caused too
many complications with liability, etc.
Mr. Camarodi feels people realize the Police department
cannot handle everything and be everywhere at the same time so
this is why residents elect to have a security system. He does
not feel the City should be penalizing him by charging a fee if
he cannot get to his house in time to disarm his alarm.
The City Attorney stated generally a lot of times alarm
companies have difficulty contacting people and then they end up
having to go through the Police department. She stated it is not
unusual because false alarms occur quite frequently.
-14- 12/6/94
Mayor Lynch stated the City is trying to get people to
maintain their alarm systems and feels that while only certain
people abuse, the City has no way to correct this without putting
an ordinance into effect. He stated he feels it is owed to the
citizens of Delray to correct this problem.
Ed Russick, 2620 Devon Court, Andover, agrees Police
time on false alarms is a waste of time and money. However, he
feels since the burglary situation is not improving people will
be relying on their alarms more than ever. He stated anything
that is done to make people not use their alarms aides the crimi-
nals and feels the City should take this into consideration.
Mr. Russick stated he has no problem with the initial
fee. However, he requested clarification on three false alarms
per year. He feels it is difficult to provide any preventive
maintenance on an alarm system because components will fail and
he disagrees with the maximum false alarms allowed per year.
Secondly, Mr. Russick stated he does not logically
understand the allowable response time after an alarm goes off
and feels this is an extremely harsh solution.
Maury Burns, Woodlake, feels it is outrageous for the
City to expect that they would not get more than three false
alarms from someone over a period of one year, and stated it does
not make sense to charge a fee for someone who is trying to
protect their family and property.
S.T. Barnes, 250 Davis Road, stated he does not agree
with the alarm fee schedule either and feels the City could
possibly have the alarm companies upgrade those particular alarm
systems causing the problems.
The public hearing was closed.
The City Attorney stated she distributed a letter
received from Del Aire. She had a conversation with Mr. Bill
Swartz who requested certain language changes to page five,
subparagraph "F", of the Ordinance to make it clear that the
application would be in the name of the association for the one
exception in paragraph "F" Mayor Lynch asked the City Attorney
if this would be true for any community who has their own guard
service. The City Attorney stated this is true for any communi-
ty/association that has their own internal guard system.
The City Manager stated they would not only have a
guard at the gate but the entire alarm systems throughout the
community, therefore their personnel would respond to the alarm
and not the City.
The City Attorney stated the language in Section
112.21A would be amended to add that this permit would be held in
the name of the association. Mr. Swartz and the City Attorney
-15- 12/6/94
agreed to the following language subject to Commission approval
at the end of subparagraph "A": "Applications for registration
submitted for neighborhood subdivisions referred to in Section
112o20F shall have to comply with Subsection B2 only and shall
provide only one emergency contact for notification purposes
pursuant to Subsection B6"
Mayor Lynch asked the City Manager if an analysis of
the false alarms has been completed. The City Manager stated the
City had 9,938 burglar alarms last fiscal year; 2,374 were acci-
dental trips; 6,399 were system malfunctions, along with other
categories some of which were also false alarms. He stated the
Fire Department received 551 false alarms. He also stated proba-
bly 20% of the systems are generating 80% for the false alarms by
addressing this problem the City can spend its time much more
productively.
Mayor Lynch stated he is not opposed to that, however,
he is opposed to the registration fee because he feels people
will not register. Secondly, he stated he feels the alarms are
an asset to the City because they help to catch criminals even if
the false alarms are a nuisance. He feels for the 80% of people
who use the alarms and maintain them properly, he considers the
alarms an asset. He stated on the other hand for the 20% of
people who have abused it, the City is doing something that
actually could be detrimental to encouraging other people to use
their alarm systems.
The City Manager disagreed with Mayor Lynch. The City
Manager feels it would be interesting to speak with Police De-
partment personnel about how many people are really caught. He
stated the alarms probably prevent more burglaries than catching
burglars.
Eric Hightower, Assistant City Attorney/Police Legal
Advisor, stated the City of Boca was considering proposing a
$50.00 registration fee and an additional fee to cover their
administration costs.
Dr. Alperin, stated he has several concerns about the
alarm systems and the fee. He feels people are misinterpreting
this Ordinance No. 91-94.
Mrs. Smith feels the three false alarms over a period
of one year should be doubled for a period of twelve months.
Mr. Randolph stated perhaps those citizens who already
have alarm systems should not be responsible for the $25.00
registration application fee. However, he feels comfortable with
the rest of the Ordinance.
Mr. Ellingsworth asked the City Attorney if a condomin-
ium has twenty buildings and each building has a separate exteri-
or system, is the building going to be assessed within the entire
-16- 12/6/94
area for three alarms or within each building with three alarms?
The City Attorney stated it would be against each alarm system
which has the registration.
Dr. Alperin asked staff what the estimated cost would
be to set up this system and issue all the registrations. The
City Manager stated the estimate is around 10,000, however, the
estimate is only a guess.
Dr. Alperin inquired what the cost of establishing this
system of administering 10,000 properties would cost the City?
Mike Cato, Division Chief-FPB, stated there would be
extensive staff time. He stated the registration would also
include printing forms for registration, forms for alarm activa-
tion report for both police and fire, the decals issued for each
permit, and then the information would be entered into the CADD
system at the dispatch center. Mr. Cato stated there is a con-
siderable amount of staff time and actual paperwork involved in
the printing of the materials for each registration.
Dr. Alperin stated it would cost approximately
$250,000.00 to register 10,000 alarm systems and if we do not
charge for this service the taxpayers would pay instead of the
people who utilize this service.
Mayor Lynch asked why even register at all. He feels
whenever there are three false alarms then the City should bill
them. He indicated the penalties in Boca are very stiff, there-
fore when alarms go off they are charged and immediately have
them repaired. He said he would rather raise the fine. This
system seems to work very well.
The Mayor suggested that we charge stiffer fines, when
the people come in to pay these fines they be required to regis-
ter, that way the 80% who maintain their systems are not penal-
ized. City Manager indicated this was an interesting idea and
said he was willing to try this approach. Mayor Lynch requested
this ordinance be sent back to staff to evaluate the idea that we
only register people who are having problems.
Mr. Randolph thought the City should fine people after
one false alarm and register them when they pay their fine.
Michael Cato indicated we maintain records at this time
when false alarms occur. The reason for having registrations is
to have information about the type of system and contact person,
etc. so when emergencies occur emergency personnel do not have to
wait to get that information.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to continue the public hearing
to the meeting of December 13, 1994, with staff to evaluate the
-17- 12/6/94

Smith. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.

11. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items from
the Public Immediately following Public Hearings.
11.A. The City Manager's response to prior public comments
and inquiries.
The City Manager commented on the miscellaneous debris,
construction material, and equipment being stored at 1920 Spanish
Trail, in Tropic Isles.
The City Manager stated Mr. Powell, General Contractor
and owner of the vacant lot, submitted an application on October
28, 1994, to construct a duplex on this parcel. The City Manager
stated his application is being processed and there are some
revisions to the construction plans required that are holding up
the issuance of the permit. The City Manager stated the con-
-18- 12/6/94
struction material and equipment currently on the vacant lot is
illegally stored. Lula Butler, Community Improvement Director,
has met with Mr. Powell twice since November 16, 1994, soliciting
his voluntary compliance with the City codes. Mr. Powell agreed
to remove the material right away, however, when he failed to
follow through, he was sighted. The City Manager stated Mr.
Powell's case is scheduled for the December 13, 1994, Code En-
forcement Board meeting.
11.B. From the Public.
11.B.!. Spencer Pompey, asked for Commission support regarding

11.B.2. Jerry Marshall, Woodlake, stated even though the inner
walkway next to the sidewalk north of Atlantic Avenue on A-1-A
was repaired, it needs to be fixed again. Mr. Marshall stated
the sidewalk appears not to have been fixed very well the first
time and suggested replacing the concrete.
11.B.3. Patrick Blake, 1630 Catherine Drive, asked that a
Police investigation be re-opened on his complaint regarding a
Delray Beach Police Officer's behavior towards his son. He
recounted the detrimental effects this incident has had on his
son and his dissatisfaction with the results of an Internal
Affairs investigation.
11.B.4. Helen Coopersmith, expressed concern about annexing
west of Military Trail when the City still has unincorporated
pockets in the City limits.
11.B.5. Jean Beer, expressed concern about the thousands of
gallons of oil that spilled from an oil tank at the Mazda dealer-
ship earlier today and which ran into the sewer drain and then
into the canal.
Ms. Beer asked Commission to consider looking into
why the Federal Highway drains are going straight into the canal,
and that the ordinances be reviewed regarding responsibility for
clean-up, etc.

lish the Task Team.

Alperin and a student. Mayor Lynch agreed with Mr. Randolph to

dent making the total of 11 members to the Seacrest Property Task
