Mayor Thomas E. Lynch

Mayor Lynch called the meeting to order for the purpose of
considering the following:
1. Public Hearing regarding a request from the Chamber of Commerce
to waive the Sign Code. The Commission is to consider a request from
the Chamber of Commerce to waive the Sign Code. Prior to consideration
of this request, a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at this
time.
A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in
compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the
City of Delray Beach, Florida.
Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, stated the signs have already
been posted on the right-of-way along Military Trail and Congress
Avenue. In her opinion, they are intrusive, offensive, depreciate the
appearance of the City and she feels personally offended. When she
called City Hall to complain, she was told that nothing could be done as
it had been approved by the City Manager's office.
The public hearing was closed.
Dr. Alperin moved for approval to waive the Sign Code, seconded
by Mr. Randolph. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Mouw - Yes; Dr. Alperin - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor Lynch - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Before roll call Mayor Lynch explained that the signs were not
posted because of approval from the City Manager's office, but because
of City Commission consensus. He commented further that it is for a two
week period only and not necessarily a waiver that will be granted every
year.
2. Resolution No. 2-91. Resolution No. 2-91, authorizing the
acquisition of certain properties within Block 20 for the construction
of a new Fire Station No. 1 facility, is before the Commission for
consideration.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 2-91:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO PURCHASE FROM THE
SELLERS CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY IN THE CITY OF DELRAY

(Copy of Resolution No. 2-91 is on file in the official Resolu-
tion Book)
Upon question by Mr. Mouw relative to the funding source, the
City Attorney stated there has been an amalgamation of various funds, a
good portion coming from the Property Acquisition Fund that was estab-
lished some years ago.
