11. Comments and Inquiries Qn Non-Agenda I~em$
ll,A.1, The City Manager responded to questions that were
raised about the fees for the use of Pompey Park by stating that
a research was conducted and it was learned that those fees were
established by the City Commission. If the Commission would like
those fees re-evaluated and some changes made, that can be done.
In the interim the Heritage Association requested a fee waiver to
hold a dance at the Community Center on November 14, 1992. As an
entrance fee, they were requesting that participants bring canned
goods to help in the preparation of a Thanksgiving dinner to be
shared with the needy in the community; the City waived all of
the fees.
Mayor Lynch questioned if the extra rooms in the new
fire station on West Atlantic Avenue could be used for community
use. The City Manager commented if they were to be used for
meeting rooms, there is usually no charge; however, if the meet-
ings are held after normal working hours, employees that are
required to staff these meetings will be paid overtime.
ll.A.2. The City Manager stated there was a question raised
with regard to the timeliness of Police response. He will re-
spond to this at the next meeting.
-16- 11/17/92
ll,B. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items from the
Public.
ll.B,1. Emme~ Bl~ke, 1630 Catherine Drive, stated he is speak-
ing in regard to an employment situation wherein he applied for a
position in the Water Treatment Plant. He was notified on Fri-
day, November 13th, 1992, that his application was not being
considered due to the fact that he is not a City employee. He
was also informed that the City has an inhouse policy where
employees are promoted from within. He questioned how the City
is able to maintain this policy and, at the same time, claim to
be an Equal Opportunity Employer. He was further instructed to
apply for a position in a place where Blacks were accepted.
During further discussion, this person informed him that the City
of Delray does not hire Blacks to work in their Water Treatment
Plant. He was originally told that, upon the opening of the new
plant, the person to be hired will be required to have prior
experience in water treatment and lime softening. It is his
understanding that the person selected to fill the position
offered no resume nor prior experience. He is prepared to offer
the City eight and one-half years of experience in this area and
does not understand why his application was turned down. He
requested a reply from the City Manager and that this response be
made public concerning this matter.
Mayor Lynch advised that the City Manager will respond
to his request.
ll.B,2. Ro~l Ritfeld, a Delray Beach Police Officer, stated he
is speaking on behalf of the Palm Beach Guardians, an association
of Professional Black Law Enforcement Officers, of which he is a
member. At the time the new Chief of Police came on board, the
Guardians presented a list of concerns which voiced the Black
officers' opinions and concerns as follows:
1) A concern about hiring of Blacks and other minorities
2) A lack of promotional opportunities for qualified Black
candidates to high levels within the administration
3) The use of racial slurs and jokes during briefing and
other casual contact between officers while on duty
4) The posting of racially offensive cartoons on Police
Department bulletins
5) Concerns about unfair practices during promotional
board interviews and full disclosure of the results of
the written examinations
6) A lack of opportunity for Black officers in lateral
transfers in Police Specialties
7) Officer safety when using police two-way radios by
unprofessional officers who jeopardize other officers
lives
8) Educational and training opportunities for Black and
other minority officers
9) Unequal and unfair opportunities for off-duty details
-17- 11/17/92
Chief Overman and the department have made the follow-
ing improvements: two Black officers have been promoted; at
least five Black officers have been hired since then; there are
now Black officers in several specialties; the promotional boards
have been reviewed and are now representative of minorities;
there are more opportunities for minority officers to attend
schools and special training; policies have been made to remove
the racial jokes and slurs; the problems of off-duty details have
been addressed; and sexual harassment and racial policies have
been implemented.
Mr. Ritfeld stated these statements will be made pub-
lic; however, it was the wish of the association to inform the
Commission, upfront, exactly what they are all about.
FIRST READINGS
12,A. Ordinance NO. 60-92. Ordinance No. 60-92, approving
amendments to the Community Redevelopment Agency's Plan, is
before the Commission for consideration on First Reading. If
passed, Public Hearing will be held December 1st. Approval is
recommended.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 60-92:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, MODIFYING THE
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, IN ITS ENTIRETY;
FINDING THAT THE MODIFICATION CONFORMS TO THE
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1969, AS
AMENDED; FINDING THAT THE MODIFICATION IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH'S
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AND MAKING FURTHER FIND-
INGS PURSUANT TO THE APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS
OF FLORIDA STATUTES SECTION 163.360(6)(7);
AND PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Dr. Alperin moved for the adoption of Ordinance No.
60-92 on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr.
Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mr. Mouw - Yes; Dr. Alperin -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
12.B. Ordinance No. 61-9~. Ordinance No. 61-92, amending the
Future Land Use Map designation from Transitional to General
Commercial for property located on the south side of Linton
Boulevard, east of the Boca Rey Plaza (Holland Property). Plan-
ning and Zoning recommends denial (7-0 vote).
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 61-92:
-18- 11/17/92
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, CHANGING THE
CITY'S LAND USE PLAN DESIGNATION IN THE
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR A PARCEL OF LAND
LOCATED EAST OF MILITARY TRAIL ON THE SOUTH
SIDE OF LINTON BOULEVARD, AS MORE PARTICULAR-
LY DESCRIBED HEREIN, FROM "TRANSITIONAL" TO
"GENERAL COMMERCIAL"; AMENDING THE LAND USE
PLAN; PROVIDING FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE TRANS-
MITTAL-AND-ORC PROCESS; PROVIDING A GENERAL
REPEALER CLAUSE; A SAVING CLAUSE; AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Arthur Jackel, Chairman of UPO, Helen ~QQpersmith,
resident, Sol Weinberger of Del Aire, Dorothy Alpor% of Cross-
winds, Randi Golder of Woodlake, Maryann Kane of Shadywoods and
Muriel Brooks of Pines of Delray North, spoke in opposition to
this ordinance.
Tom Purdo, 1011 Brooks Lane, Attorney for the appli-
cant, Gerald Holland, gave a brief review of this issue. He
commented that he would like to be afforded the opportunity to
locate a user within the next six months, to return and present a
site plan to the Commission showing how it will impact the people
surrounding the project, bring a quality addition to the City,
increase the tax base and open up some new positions in the City.
Lee Einsweiler, Planner for the applicant, stated that
the existing approval on the site and the existing zoning is for
Planned Office Center. At the time it was approved, the concep-
tual plan showed 114,000 square feet of offices and a 7,000
square foot restaurant. It is his feeling that those persons who
spoke earlier tonight, in opposition to the project, are ignoring
the existence of that zoning and treating the site as though it
was vacant; however, the nature of the surrounding area has
changed substantially. At the time the Planned Office Center
zoning existed, the approval was put in place for the Holland
Parcel. Since that time the Planned Office Center seems to have
gone away and it is now a substantial commercial site, including
several outparcels with Albertson's across the street. The
applicant would like to bring before the Commission a Special
Activities District, prepare a complete site and development
plan, including architectural and landscaping elevations, have
the plan reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Board and return to
the Commission for Second and FINAL Reading within the 180 day
period.
The City Attorney stated there has been discussion with
regard to rezoning with a revision of the rezoning to SAD. The
applicant has the power to withdraw the present rezoning applica-
tion and reapply for a SAD. It would be inappropriate for the
City to consider the SAD on First Reading at this point. The
-19- 11/17/92
question immediately before the Commission for consideration is
the Land Use.
Upon question as to whether or not the SAD zoning was
discussed at the Planning and Zoning Board meeting, Mr. Kovacs
commented that he did not think so. He also stated that the
Board voted against the plan with a vote of 7 to 0, as not being
the appropriate Land Use for the property as it would be incon-
sistent with the future Land Use Plan. Discussion followed.
J$an Beer, Planning and Zoning Board, stated the issue
was clearly Land Use and the Board feels that it would have a
domino effect on property alongside. She further commented that
the Board feels a SAD zoning does not hold much meaning, if it is
so easily changed.
Mr. Randolph expressed concern and stated he could not
vote for the approval while it is in this posture.
Mr. Mouw stated he strongly favors commercial develop-
ment; however, the Code states commercial development will be
limited in the western section in order to promote the downtown
area. With this property having a single large user, he feels
there would be no possibility of having that type of commercial
activity in the downtown area. He feels it would be a good
possible transition, if handled properly, between commercial on
the west and residential on the east. He does now know how the
City gets from here to that point without granting a General
Commercial Comprehensive Plan change that would open doors he
does not want opened.
Mayor Lynch stated he could not approve a carte blanche
change in zoning that could result in any number of things and he
would be unable to support it.
Mr. Einsweiler stated there is no way they can accom-
plish this proposal, short of requesting a Comprehensive Plan
change. He reiterated his former statement that, they would like
the opportunity to put a tenant in hand and have some feeling
that this might be approved in order that it be brought before
the Commission again. If they fail to proceed with the entire
process, the project will be dead. If the Commission would like
to study the SAD opportunity the applicant hopes to pursue, it is
their desire to withdraw both issues and return at another date.
The City Attorney questioned where the City stands with
regard to transmittal to DCA on this item. Mr. Kovacs advised,
in order to get the Plan Amendment to DCA, it must first have
Second and FINAL Reading and be approved. It is his understand-
ing that Mr. Einsweiler would like both items (Ordinance No.
61-92 and Ordinance No. 62-92) put in abeyance at this time,
return to the Planning and Zoning Board with a SAD designation,
redo the site plan, the traffic study, etc, return to the Commis-
sion within the six month period; and, at that time, have a First
-20- 11/17/92
Reading on the zoning, and, if approved, have the Second and
FINAL Reading on the Plan Amendment, adopt the Plan Amendment,
send it to DCA for ninety (90) days and hope there is no action.
Then the item can be placed before the Commission for considera-
tion on Second and FINAL Reading on the SAD rezoning.
Mayor Lynch stated he feels the applicant needs to know
exactly where the Commission stands on this issue.
Mr. Kovacs stated, with regard to the process, his
recommendation would be to withdraw both items, the applicant can
return in any time frame they choose with a Plan Amendment re-
quest and their rezoning, proceed through the process, get the
adoption and receive the ninety (90) days.
Gerald Holland, applicant, stated he has owned this
property for a long time and feels he is not making an unfair
request.
Mr. Einsweiler advised that both items were being
withdrawn at this time.
12.C. Ordinance No. 62-92. WITHDRAWN.
At this time the Commission returned to the Regular
Agenda.
9.N, Appointment of Commission Members to Various Advisory
Boards and Committees. The Commission is to consider the ap-
pointment of Commission members to serve as the liaison member to
various advisory boards and committees formerly served by Commis-
sioner Andrews.
Mr. Ellingsworth volunteered to replace Mr. Andrews on
the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board, the Downtown Develop-
ment Authority and the Metropolitan Planning Organization.
The Commission concurred to discuss the remainder of
the appointments at the Regular meeting to be held November 24th.
9.0. SPady Property Acquisition. The Commission is to
consider approval of a final settlement in the amount of $255,000
for acquisition of properties G, H, J and M in conjunction with
the S.D. Spady Access Improvements project. City Attorney recom-
mends approval.
Dr. Alperin moved for approval of final settlement,
seconded by Mr. Mouw. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes; Mr. Mouw - Yes;
Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
13. Comments and Inquiries on Non-Agenda Items:
-21- 11/17/92
13.A.1. Commissioner Alperin had no inquiries, but congratulat-
ed Mary McCarty, who was named the new Chairwoman of the Palm
Beach County Commission.
13.A.2. Commissioner Mouw had no comments or inquiries.
13.A.3. Commissioner Ellingsworth thanked the other members of
the Commission for the honor they afforded him by making him a
member of the Delray Beach City Commission.
1.3.A.4. Commissioner Ellingsworth questioned if there has been
any discussion concerning how the new tennis facility will func-
tion; is there anyone budgeted to Parks and Recreation, or per-
haps a workshop can be held. Mayor Lynch responded that he and
Joe Weldon, Director of Parks and Recreation, have discussed the
entire function and it is the hope that it will pay for itself to
a great extent. With regard to the stadium, the City would like
to put it to good use and there are ideas being considered con-
cerning the staffing and management; however, the Commission has
not actually addressed this. The City Manager stated some op-
tions are being explored at this time and it will probably be on
the January worksession.
13.A.5. Commissioner Randolph had no comments or inquiries.
.13.A.6. Mayor Lynch had no comments or inquiries.
At this point Jonathan Green requested permission to
speak. Mayor Lynch stated there is a time in the agenda which
states that any comments on non-agenda items can come from the
public and you are welcome to speak at that time. However, that
time has passed and the Public Hearings portion has been closed.
He further commented that he or any of the individual Commission-
ers would be happy to speak with him if he wished to call them
regarding any issue.
i~,B,1, There were no comments or inquiries from the City
Attorney.
13.C.1. The City Manager stated direction from the Commission
is requested with regard to handling the Waterford issue next
week on First Reading. Staff suggested perhaps the Commission
might take presentations from staff and the applicant, but not
allow public comments at that time. At the Second and FINAL
Reading, the public comments and any other questions that might
arise would be welcome. It is a very complex and involved mat-
ter, with a lot of different issues. Mayor Lynch recommended
that a statement be placed on the agenda stating that this item
will not be a public hearing until Second and FINAL Reading.
13,D,1. Mary McCarty, Chairwoman of the Palm Beach County
Commission, thanked the Commission for the warm welcome and
congratulated Commissioner Ellingsworth on his new position. She
-22- 11/17/92
offered her assistance in any area in which she can be helpful
and requested help, if needed, in her new capacity.
Mayor Lynch declared the meeting adjourned at 8:25 P.M.
