Mayor Lynch opened the floor to comments from the
public.
Richsr~ EGkerle, resident, commented that the original
discussion indicated that this would be a commercial tax;
however, he figured the use for his home and he feels the minimum
was too low prior to increasing the residential fee.
The City Manager explained that the tax is on everyone,
but there is an exemption for residential use for the first 90
kilowatt hours, which, on an average, offsets the increase.
Mr. Andrews stated the commercial part of the tennis
facility is one portion, the remaining portion will be for the
use of the citizens of Delray. It is his feeling that the amount
of money that is specifically allocated for the Virginia Slims
should be put on the businesses and the balance of what is left
-12- 9/8/92
in the residential should come from that area, as it is the
residential element of the tennis center.
Mr. Safford stated there is no way to fully exempt
every resident. All residents under the 8.5% average will pay
exactly what they were paying before. Under the new percentage,
with the exemption, they will pay, at 9.5%, the same dollars as
were paid at 8.5%.
The City Manager suggested that the Commission adopt
the ordinance on First Reading and, if there is to be a change in
the composition of the funding package, that should be the
direction.

Dr. Alperin requested that, prior to Second and FINAL
Reading, he would like staff to look into raising the minimum to
include an allowance for those persons having variations during
the year.
Mr. Randolph questioned the percentile of citizens that
will be contributing to the high end of the increase. The City
Manager stated the information will be supplied, if it is
available through FP&L.
Helen Coopersmith, resident, stated in 1987 a
Utility Tax was passed in the amount of $238,000, that was to be
used for beautification, etc., west of 1-95 and that has not yet
occurred. Now the City is increasing the tax again and the
citizens feel there is a definite inequity.

.... ~.~.>Deborah!Wrigh~,~.~President~oftheWest~Atlantic ProPer,~y
~Owners .Association,~ protested to the City employee job cu~s
recommended in the 1992/1993 budget, at a time when the jobless
rate is at an all-time high.
Rosalind Murray, Village Drive, questioned why the City
feels it is necessary to retain a full-time lobbyist, now that
the district will be represented by three persons. She also
would like to see a record of all the lobbyist's accomplishments
for the years 1991 and 1992, in order to better understand how
her position is justified.
David Bayless, speaking on behalf of the City
employees, commented that he feels cutting the employees wages is
not the way to lower the budget. There seem to be some
inequities regarding wages and merit increases, leaving very
little incentive for the employee.
Stanley Milosky, Allen Avenue, questioned what the
total increase in taxes will be for each resident.
The public hearing was closed.
The City Manager advised that the millage rate is 2.5%
below the roll back rate, which is the millage that would bring
in the same amount of revenue as in the prior year. Property
taxes directly reflect the assessed value.
The City Manager responded to the comments from Mr.
Bayless by stating that the 3% merit, with an average of 1.5% was
a proposal which has been made in bargaining sessions with the
union, not what has been discussed this evening for non-union
employees, which is 0% to 5%, with 3% budgeted for merit

that will be impacted should this ordinance be adopted, stated he

-18- 9/8/92
does not own the property that is to be rezoned; however, he is

file this action and attempt to rezone this property. He
requested that the Commission not adopt this ordinance tonight.

deferred until the October 13th Regular Commission meeting. The

potential of governmental entity downzoning the property.

11. ~omments and Inquiries on NQn-Aqenda Items from the
Public.
ll.A.1, The City Manager stated, in response to an inquiry
regarding the City's earnings from the Municipal Golf Course, the
projected net earnings for this FY is 8120,000. The projected
net earnings in next year's budget is $130,000.
ll.A.2. The City Manager responded to an inquiry concerning the
status of the Lakeview Golf Course, by advising that the
appraisal has been completed and a proposal has been received to
complete an economic analysis of the course operation. It will
be necessary to complete this analysis before a decision can be
made as to whether or not the City should pursue acquisition of
the course.
ll.A.~, The City Manager commented, in response to the query
about the status of the deed for the Tennis Center from the
original owners, that the deed to the City is the subject of a
quiet title suit that will be heard in November.
ll.A.4. The City Manager stated, in ~esponse to an inquiry
regarding the status of the Gelco property, that item was
discussed earlier in the meeting.
11.5. The City Manager stated there was also an inquiry about
the Hardaway property. The Community Improvement Director has
written the Hardaway Company and explained to them that they
either need to install certain specified screening according to
-28- 9/8/92
their original proposal to the Commission, or the City will
initiate proceedings to withdraw their Conditional Use permit for
the use of the property.
11,~, FROM THE PUBLIC:
ll.B.1. Lillian Feldman, Pines of Delray, stated one of the
residents brought several robbery-related items to the attention
of the members that have occurred on Flame Vine Avenue since
March of this year. They consist of stolen vehicles, stolen
license plates, a pistol whipping, a stolen purse and five stolen
bicycles. She requested some help, preferably in the form of
Police Patrols.
ll,B.2, Ms. Nan Hill, representing The Guardians, stated she is
speaking on behalf of John Kirkland, Public Information Officer
of the Palm Beach Guardians, by reading a printed flyer that was
distributed to the Commission in opposition to sexual and racial
discrimination that remains alive in Delray Beach.
11.B.3. Lisa Barnes, 216 N.W. 1st Street, stated she is one of
~the.ousted..homeowners as a result of the proposed Tennis Center.
After twenty years, she is leaving the area and has located
another place to live. She is hoping that the City will be fair
with her and provide enough money to allow her to relocate.
ll.B.4, Alfred Straghn, 26 S.W. 5th Avenue, commented that he
was formerly promised that, with regard to those homeowners on
3rd Avenue, a representative from the City would explain what
they needed to do and provide some avenue to assist them with
relocating. To his knowledge, this has not happened. Most of
these residents are debt-free and he feels it is unfair to place
them in a position where they will again be required to make a
mortgage payment, especially at their age.~ Mayor Lynch assured
him that staff has met with these homeowners.
ll,B.5, Mr. Straghn stated that he, too, opposes the firing of
Verna Cook and that she should be given a fair chance to
represent herself.
ll.B.6. Debbie Be~, requested that the Commission reconsider
the amount of the dockage increase 'of 10% imposed by the City.
Most of the residents living at the marina are working people and
they have realized no 10% increase in wages. The City Manager
stated the last increase was in 1990 and the Delray Beach City
Marina charges less than most of the surrounding municipalities.
He also stated it was not formally voted on, but was discussed at
a work session, with the general consensus being in favor of the
increase and it is part of the budget process. Mayor Lynch
stated it will be before the Commission two weeks from tonight at
the final budget hearing.
ll.B.7. Darlene Thomas, 235 S.W. 10th Avenue, speaking for the
residents of Allamanda Gardens, requested that the City keep
-29- 9/8/92
their promise made in 1989 to install sidewalks and put the final
topping on the road and that this be completed by the end of
September, 1992.
ll,B.8. Reno Wells, Chairman, Palm Beach County Guardians Legal
Committee, spoke in support of Verna Cook.
ll.B.9. William Whiqham, 2656 Dorson Way, stated he is speaking
to the Commission in support of Verna Cook and not as the
Vice-President of the local NAACP branch.
ll.B.10. Wiltiem North, Vice-President of County Law Enforcement
Organization (CLEO), spoke in support of Verna Cook.
ll,B,11 John Francis, representing the Haitian community, spoke
in support of Verna Cook and the manner in which she has
befriended the Haitian people and assisted in their well-being.
The City Manager stated the press reports on Officer
Cook's situation, with one exception, have not given a total
picture. One important point he would like to clarify is that
~Officer ~Cook violated one of the rules by being out of her
district, but that is a minor offense. The serious offense she
is charged with is lying under oath in an internal investigation.
A hearing is scheduled this week and, should a decision be made
against her, she has a right to arbitration.
Mayor Lynch commented that the City Commission has only
two employees, the City Manager and the City Attorney, and the
Commission does not get involved in the day-to-day hiring or
firing of employees.
Virqinia ~!D_~, resident, stated she feels there has
not been a complete investigation regarding the truthfulness of
the situation. She feels the members of the church should also
be questioned.
At this point, the City Attorney advised that
Resolution No. 92-92, which had been tabled earlier in the
meeting, had arrived from Mudge Rose for consideration by the
Commission. The City Manager stated that Barnett Bank has now
accepted the terms and conditions.
Dr. Alperin moved for the adoption of Resolution No.
92-92, seconded by Mr. Andrews. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Andrews - Yes; Mr. Mouw
- Abstain; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 4 to 0 vote, with Mr. Mouw abstaining.
13. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Aqenda Items.
13.A.1. Mr. Andrews questioned why the white areas on the
zoning map have been eliminated and if they could again be placed
back onto the map.
-30- 9/8/92
~3.A.2. Mr. Randolph stated some time ago he requested that
Dennis Murray be commended for work that was done in refurbishing
the Pompey Park Pool and to date he has received no answer.
13.3. Mr. Randolph stated that he has also requested
information on naming something in the area where Marian MacLeod
resides, in honor of her contributions to the City.
13.A.4. Mr. Randolph expressed the opinion that the Verna Cook
issue is "the lull before the storm" and serious consideration
should be given before certain action is taken.
There were no comments from Dr. Alperin.
13.A.5. Mr. Mouw requested that staff check into what happened
to the five lots the City was going to donate to the Habitat for
Humanity.
13.A.6. Mr. Mouw commented that Andrews Avenue still shows the
remains of the litter caused by Hurricane Andrew and questioned
why.this has not been removed. The City Manager stated that, at
one Point, ~the.~Solid~.Waste ~.Authority had stopped accepting
materials of that type because it was being trucked here from
Dade and Broward County. He advised that he would have this
investigated and have an answer for him.
13.A.7, Mr. Mouw questioned the status of a letter or memo
written by David Kovacs, Planning Director, regarding Leon Weekes
Park and the manner in which he proposed having this placed on
the agenda. The City Manager stated there is a conflict between
the plan and the budget. The action taken tonight would move it
ahead in accordance with Mr. Kovacs' memo. Mr. Mouw requested
that this be made a priority before it is too late.
13.A.8. Mayor Lynch questioned if an orientation program is
still in effect now that the new Boards have been appointed.
13.A.9. Mayor Lynch commented that, at the time the Planning
and Site Board was separated, he felt the goal would be that the
Site Plan Review would be geared to the actual properties and
issues that arose on individual properties and the Planning Board
would be handling the larger items, in addition to looking to
long term planning. He feels that the 10th Street issue should
have been considered by the Planning Board and that they should
take more initiative before those plans are presented to the
Commission. He requested that Mr. Kovacs submit to him a two
sentence statement of the Goals and Objectives of the new
Planning Board.
13.B.1. The City Attorney stated, with respect to the item
referred to by Mr. Mouw, that there is a title problem with the
Hazel Saunders property that the City attempted to convey to the
Habitat for Humanity. It is currently being reviewed and,
-31- 9/8/92
hopefully, will be resolved by the next Regular Commission
meeting.
13.B.2. The City Attorney advised that a forfeiture proceeding
was concluded and $23,000 was received today that will go into
the Law Enforcement Trust Fund.
13.B.3. The City Attorney advised that the Supreme Court ruled
on the Dimmitt Chevrolet vs. Southeastern Fidelity Insurance
case, the case that addresses the pollution exclusion clause
under Florida law having very material impact on the City's
ongoing litigation with the insurance companies in the Aero-Dri
situation. The Florida Supreme Court decided that the sudden and
accidental language was ambiguous and should be interpreted in
favor of the insured and not the insurers.
13.C. The City Manager had no comments or inquiries.
Mayor Lynch declared the meeting' adjourned at 9:25 P.M.
