-3- 1/16/90
13. Request for Waiver of Bonding Requirement. The Commission is
to consider a request from Pulte Home Corporation to reduce the bonding
requirement associated with final plat approval on Phase II of Sabal
Lakes. Approval is recommended.
Ms. McCarty moved for aPproval of the waiver, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon.
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned if the amount of the reduction
being requested will cover the portion of the property that will be
under construction. The Interim City Manager stated the applicant would
be required to bond or complete the looping of the water line that
serves his existing population. During platting, the City would waive
the requirement to bond or produce the other im?rovements, but would
prohibit him from selling in Phase II or subseque~'t phases until those
improvements are completed. This would allow him an opportunity to have
his plat a matter of recorded history at this time, which takes care of
the traffic considerations under the Comprehensive Plan. At the same
time the City will be protected, as he will not have the ability to sell
any additional lots until he completes the improvements which were
anticipated in the plat.
Ms. Brainerd asked if those conditions are encompassed in the
motion or should they be specifically stated. The Interim City Manager
advised they need to be specifically stated.
Ms. Brainerd made a substitute motion to approve the waiver,
subject to a restriction on the sale of lots within Phase II Final Plat
until such time as all other improvements are in place prior to the sale
of Phase II, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
14. Settlement Offer. The Commission is to consider a settlement
offer from Elgin Manufacturing and Mason Equipment which provides for a
discount on the purchase of a replacement street sweeper in exchange for
resolution of the City-initiated litigation against them.
The City Attorney stated staff has looked at the proposal and
the numbers calculated by the Public Works Department indicate that the
settlement is not the sort of financial deal the City had hoped for and
the City Attorney's office is recommending the settlement proposal be
rejected.
Ms. Brainerd moved for rejection, seconded by Mr. Andrews.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms.
Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Camp-
bell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
15. Settlement Offer. The Commission is to consider a settlement
offer from Irene Montalban which includes provisions for payment of
$15,000, reinstatement to her previous position and back contributions
to insurance, pension plan and all other fringe benefits to settle an
alleged sexual harassment complaint.
The City Attorney confirmed that the offer came from the Equal
Employment Office; however, it is his understanding, that it was drafted
with the knowlege and consent of her counsel. Mayor Campbell commented,
to be technically correct, he feels the Agenda should have indicated
that it came from EEOC opposed to Irene Montalban.
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned what the $15,000 is based upon.
The City Attorney stated it is based on nothing; it is a number chosen
by Counsel and he does not know for what reason. His office recommends
that this settlement be rejected as it is believed it will not be
provable and the claim, as stated, is without merit.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated the plaintiff indicated to him on the
telephone that she did not feel she could return to the job and, since
there is an employee currently occupying that position, he has a problem
with this portion of the settlement in addition to the monetary amount.
-4- 1/16/90
Mayor Campbell asked if it is possible to enter into negotia-
tion in response to this, in the event that the City would entertain
discussion of employment. The City Attorney stated it is always possi-
ble; however, his office has received no authorization or direction from
the Commission to do anything of that nature.
The Interim City Manager stated, for the record, there was an
overture made to Ms. Montalban's attorney approximately one month after
her dismissal stating there was a position of equal pay and job title
being held open for her and there was no interest expressed at that
time. Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the Interim City Manager con-
firmed that was prior to the formal offer or proposal of settlement from
EEOC.
Ms. Brainerd requested confirmation from the City Attorney
that, at the time the Commission previously discussed a recommendation
of denial, his position was based on the fact that he felt comfortable
that the Commission's action, and the termination of the named super-
visor in this instance, alleviated the Commission from any responsibil-
ity for damages due to their actions based on a sexual harassment
charge. The City Attorney confirmed that as correct. Ms. Brainerd then
questioned the other charges that were in Ms. Montalban's original
appeal, namely a violation of personnel policy and the Whistle Blower
Act. She feels there should be an investigation of these two charges.
The City Attorney advised that those two issues are not before the EEOC,
so the settlement proposal that comes through their offices would not
address those two issues. Upon question by Ms. Brainerd should the
Commission turn down the settlement, the City Attorney stated the EEOC
will pursue their investigation further.
Ms. Brainerd moved to deny the settlement offer and to direct
the City Attorney to investigate all allegations regarding this individ-
ual, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mayor Campbell stated he would like to discuss the situation of
rehiring and possible further negotiation regarding that element.
Ms. Brainerd amended her motion to include the discussion and
possible negotiation with regard to rehiring, Mr. Weatherspoon amended
his second. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews
- No; Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes;
Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Ms. McCarty asked if the maker of the motion would entertain
dividing this motion. As she sees it, there are three parts to it, and
if the motion is for the entire package, she will not be able to vote
for it.
Mr. Andrews questioned if the City Attorney reviewed the
dismissal proceedings to ensure that this person was dismissed in the
proper procedure. The City Attorney stated he has reviewed only prelim-
inary information after the fact. Mr. Andrews asked if the City
Attorney found anything that would warrant a more in-depth review. The
City Attorney stated the only thing his office has responded to is the
claim of sexual harassment, which is the only claim the City has been
charged with to date.
Mr. Andrews asked if a staff member is available to comment on
the fact that a review of the work being done by this lady was found to
be short of the task. Mayor Campbell commented, before that is done and
a conclusion reached that could possibly jeopardize the City, he would
recommend that the Commission follow up on the motion and direct the
City Attorney to make an investigation and provide an answer.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
16. Request for Authorization to proceed with Sanitary Sewer
Installation. The Commission is to authorize staff to proceed with the
final section of sanitary sewer to be installed along North Federal
Highway. Approval is recommended.
-5- 1/16/90
Ms. Brainerd moved for approval, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms.
Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Camp-
bell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
17. Change Order No. 1 - North Federal Highway Sanitary Sewer
Installation. The Commission is to consider approval of Change Order
No. 1, increasing the contract price by $42,190.03 to complete the
installation of a gravity sanitary sewer along North Federal Highway per
revisions made to accommodate the project without requiring additional
easements. Approval is recommended.
Ms. Brainerd moved for approvaI, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms.
Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Camp-
bell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Andrews questioned where the money will come from for the
overrun. The Interim City Manager stated the first item shows the
unfinished work, the change order and engineering fees. The funds are
available in Capital Improvements Sewer System Mains and Lines/Pipeline
Replacement/Collections and jeopardizes nothing.
Mr. Weatherspoon commented that, regarding change orders, he
feels it most advantageous to have that information included in the
backup material with a detailed explanation.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
18. Designation of a Staff Member to Attend Discussions on
Jacobson's Project. The Commission is to designate a staff member to
attend all meetings relating to the Jacobson's project. It is recom-
mended that Jeff Kurtz, Assistant City Attorney, be that designee.
Mayor Campbell stated, it is his understanding, that this
refers only to meetings involving the City. The City Attorney requested
that one of the attorneys be designated as it will be a scheduling
process where one attorney may not always be available. He also re-
quested that the Commission direct the City Attorney's office whether or
not the attorney should actively participate in the meetings or to
record information and submit status reports on a periodic basis. Ms.
Brainerd expressed a desire to have the attorney actively participate
until such time that it proved to be beneficial to do otherwise.
Ms. Brainerd moved for approval, subject to conditions outlined
by the City Attorney, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
19. Authorization for Payment. The Commission is to consider
authorizing staff to enter into an agreement with David Gochenour, one
of the artists selected for the Pineapple Grove sculpture project, which
would provide for an advanced payment to him amounting to 50% of the
award with the balance being made in two payments (50% complete and 100%
complete). Approval is recommended.
Ms. Brainerd questioned the normal policy regarding acquisition
of property on an installment basis. The City Attorney advised general-
ly, acquisitions of properties are paid for in a lump sum after deliv-
ery. With regard to professional services, the City has eliminated
retainers for at least the past five years. On construction projects,
periodic payments are made on a progress payment basis. Ms. Brainerd
asked the terms of payment outlined in the request for proposal from the
other artists. The City Attorney stated, as he remembers, it was a lump
sum payment. Ms. Brainerd then asked if the City has ever done this
before, to which the City Attorney replied, not to his knowlege.
6 1/16/90
Ms. Brainerd moved for denial, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - No; Ms.
Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell
- No. Said motion FAILED with a 3 to 2 vote.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for approval of the request of the
payment schedule as outlined, seconded by Mr. Andrews.
Mayor Campbell questioned if there is a way the City can be
assured the money is allocated to material in order that the payments
are not made directly to Mr. Gochenour, but will allow him to draw on
that. The Interim City Manager advised it can be done if Mr. Gochenour
will submit an appropriate invoice. The City can pay that amount as the
first draw, in addition to an agreed upon administrative amount, perhaps
15%, and then a 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 basis for the balance.
Mr. Weatherspoon amended his motion to direct that the payments
are made in accordance with the outline made by the Interim City Manag-
er, Mr. Andrews amended his second. Upon roll call the Commission voted
as follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms. Brainerd - No; Ms. McCarty - No; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3
to 2 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Ms. Brainerd expressed a concern that this will change the
ground rules for the other people who responded and she feels that
places the City in a role that incurs administrative costs, including
paperwork, that will add to the cost of acquiring the sculpture.
The City Attorney recommended, if that is the wish of the
Commission, that same payment schedule option should be made available
to the other three finalists.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
20. Approval of Site Plan Modification. The Commission is to
approve a site plan modification for the Southeast County Public Health
Unit located on the east side of S. Congress Avenue, between S. W. 2nd
Street and the Southeast County Administrative Complex. The P&Z Board
recommends approval, subject to the following conditions:
Approval of the minor Conditional Use modification based on
positive findings pursuant to Section 173.848 "Ten Standards
for Evaluating Coditional Uses" and a positive finding of
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and future land use
map; and,
Approval of the major site plan modification based on positive
findings pursuant to Section 173.848 of the "Ten Standards for
Evaluating Site Development plans" and subject to the following
conditions:
1. Dedication of easements to cover extension of the water
mains as well as existing ones (Congress Avenue water
main) and existing or relocate FP&L facilities.
2. Submitting revised site plans to accommodate the follow-
ing items:
a. A 29' landscape strip along Congress Avenue.
b. A 5' perimeter landscape strip along the east
property line.
e. Provide the type of construction and building height
on the site plan sheets.
3. Submittal of revised landscape plans to accommodate the
following:
a. The perimeter landscape strips noted above as 2(a)
-7- 1/16/90
and (b).
b. Provide calculations of internal and perimeter
landscape areas.
c. Provide one shade tree for every 40 linear feet or
fraction thereof within the perimeter landscape
buffers. Additional Mahogany trees are required
along the east side of the property to fill in gaps
over 40'
d. Provide a group of palms or a canopy tree for each
100 square feet of required internal landscaping.
4. Submittal of revised water, sewer, paving and drainage
plans to accommodate the following:
a. Provide stop signs and stop bars at all internal
intersections and exit drives.
b. Provide details for overlay of S.W. 2nd Street along
northern boundary with 1" of asphalt.
c. Providing solutions to the water and sewer layouts
acceptable to both the Utilities and Fire
Departments.
d. Provide 2% grade versus 1% shown for ingress/egress
driveway from Congress Avenue.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell if this has had final approval,
David Kovacs, Director of Planning & Zoning, advised the site plan has
been approved. He explained the reason is that this is a modification
to the overall County complex. Mayor Campbell asked if this is con-
sidered vested under their proposed rules and has a traffic performance
impact study been done. Mr. Kovacs stated it will be vested and there
has been no traffic performance study. Mayor Campbell commented that,
since the County is shutting down all development with regard to traffic
performance standards, he feels the County should abide by their own
rules. Mr. Kovacs stated when the performance standards are approved at
the end of this month, any project that has an impact of 500 trips per
day is exempt from that performance standard.
Mayor Campbell questioned if the property was required to be
platted and does this constitute a change in the plat. Mr. Kovacs
stated a plat was not required because it is part of a total complex; in
addition, if there is no division of ownership and right-of-way dedica-
tion is not required, platting is not required.
Upon question by Ms. McCarty, the City Attorney stated he has
no problem with the traffic element as he feels this can be accomplished
as part of the site plan modification request. However, if there is no
subdivision of interests in the land and no required dedications or
easements, technically, there is no need for platting. Mayor Campbell
commented, now that the Commission acknowledges that and if it is the
consensus, he would like that to be publicly acknowledged as he raised
that same question four years ago. At that time he could not get
consensus from the Commission or the Planning Director the fact that
unnecessary hoops were being created for development in this County. He
further stated, now that the Board is recognizing that and good develop-
ment can be encouraged in the City, he will withdraw his argument.
The Interim City Manager stated he feels the next thing con-
fronting the City will be the County requesting a full property map from
the plats. Since a plat is required of everyone, this might be an
appropriate time to request that they plat the entire property in order
that the City will have a legal description covering all the property by
plat.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for approval of the site plan modifica-
tion, subject to platting and a traffic performance standard study or
reason indicating why there is no need, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms.
Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Camp-
bell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
-8- 1/16/90
The City Attorney questioned at what time is the submission of
those requirements to be made. Mayor Campbell advised this should be
before a CO is issued.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
21. Final Plat Approval. The Commission is to approve a Final Plat
for replat of Parcel 1, Linton Center (Target) located on the south side
of Linton Boulevard between 1-95 and S. W. 10th Avenue. The Planning &
Zoning Board recommend approval, subject to all conditions of site plan
approval and the following conditions:
A. 1. Receipt of permits from DER, Palm Beach County Health,
for the Linton Retail Center site.
2. Receipt of permit from SFWMD.
3. Revise the Certified cost estimate to include:
- an increase in the size (from 10 inch to 12 inch) of

- extension of the 6 foot sidewalk (6" in thickness)
through driveways along S.W. 10th Avenue.
5. Provide a letter from FP&L for the cost of street lights
on Waterford Place. A Cash deposit for this improvement
is required.
6. Provide confirmation from FP&L regarding the relocation
of concrete street light poles on S.W. 10th Avenue.
7 Provide financial guarantees and commitments as to timing
of installation for the turn lanes on Linton Boulevard
and S.W. 10th Avenue, and commitment as to timein for the
traffic signal at the Linton/Waterford Place Inter-
section.
8. The Linton Boulevard beautification fee shall be paid
pursuant to City policy.

and Retail Center to the drainage overflow easement for

Mr. Weatherspoon moved for approval, subject to conditions,
seconded by Mr. Andrews. Upon roll call the Commission voted as fol-
lows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
22. Reorganization of City Staff. The Commission is to consider
the reorganization of City Staff which would place the City Clerk's
Office under the Management Services Group. Approval is recommended.
The Interim City Manager stated in order to make the next
quantum improvement in the ability of City Hall to respond to those
tasks assigned, elements of government which will be responsible for the
automation of the Clerk's Office, including a new position to be created
for a Communication Specialist, need to be brought together under one
leadership. During this quarter the goal of having every department in
the City being on line on the 38 will be achieved.
Ms. Brainerd moved for approval of the Staff reorganization,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
-9- 1/16/90
follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - No; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4
to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Ms. McCarty expressed a concern regarding the reorganization of
the entire department, opposed to the Management Services Group working
with the Clerk's Department to accomplish this. She also questioned the
inconsistency of the memos with regard to not wanting to reorganize in
order to be sensitive to the City Manager position and certain depart-
ments.
The Interim City Manager stated it is a matter of not being
just the Clerk's Office. The record retention function is going to go
throughout the City, as is much of the data that will be brought into
the 38, so it needed to be under one of the assistant City Managers to
allow the City Clerk the clout to insist upon those elements she needs
from other departments to make the records retention program work
City-wide.
Mr. Andrews questioned if the upper eschelon has been expanded
too much and, should the new City Manager be interested in reduction of
staff at that level, he feels the Management Services area would be the
only area that he would concede. Based on what the City is looking for
in the 1990's and the propensity of problems that occur with redevelop-
ment, the Development Services wing is the critical part of moving the
older part of the City forward. In addition, he stated that if there is
no problem with moving personnel around on a very short term basis,
fine, but if is to be torn down in six months, then he is not in favor
of doing it at this time. The Interim City Manager advised if it is
done six months from now, it will be more difficult to complete the
evolution of the automation needed for the City to receive a quantum
increase in productivity from the administrative staff.
Mr. Andrews asked if there has been any change to the original
format of incorporating the one-stop concept into the new additions in
City Hall. The Interim City Manager stated the one-stop will continue
as envisioned relative to plan checking and inspection. However, until
someone decides on the reorganization of Public Works/Engineering, the
engineering functions not related to permitting and inspection will
continue in the Public Works building.
Ms. Brainerd stated she would like to remind the Commission
that just over a year ago there was a joint workshop with the CRA
regarding a study of the downtown area with an expenditure of $60,000
and no one knew where the document was located. It is her belief that
the type of automation proposed by the Interim City Manager is a way to
solve those problems.
Ms. McCarty expressed a desire to agenda this item on the next
workshop and discuss the addition to make sure the floor plan of the new
addition to City Hall is continuing along the line approved by the
Commission.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
43. Resolution No. 5-90. Resolution No. 5-90, amending Resolution
No. 66-89 by reappropriating 1989-90 funds to support the reassignment
or administrative support staff within the Management Services and
Community Services Groups and General Government, is before the Commis-
sion for consideration. Approval is recommended.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 5-90:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 66-89 WHICH MADE
APPROPRIATIONS OF SUMS OF MONEY FOR ALL NECESSARY
EXPENDITURES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR 1989-90, BY MAKING NECESSARY TRANSFERS TO
THE FOLLOWING SERVICE GROUPS: MANAGEMENT SERVICES,
COMMUNITY SERVICES AND GENERAL GOVERNMENT.
-10- 1/16/90
(Copy of Resolution No. 5-90 is on file in the official Resolu-
tion Book)
Ms. Brainerd moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 5-90,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - No; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4
to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Andrews requested that, in the future, when there is a move
of personnel, he would like to see an organizational chart.
Ms. McCarty commented, in the backup material showing how the
transfer is to be made, in no instance does it say what it is made for,
the positions, who is moving to what and where and she is not in a
position to vote tonight without complete information.
The Interim City Manager advised Cheryl is being moved from the
City Manager's Office to the City Clerk's Office and those monies will
be moved from General Services and placed into Management Services.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
23. Change of Street Name. The Commission is to consider approval
of a street name change from LaMat Avenue to Tropic Bay Boulevard.
The Interim City commented that the language on the agenda
should be consider, due to a recommendation from Planning & Zoning
subject to a possible delay, in the event that another auction should be
held.
Ms. Brainerd stated she feels everyone should be treated
fairly, so she would have to proceed with the precedent that she set
formerly and request that it be deferred to the street auction. Mayor
Campbell advised a committment was made, by consensus of the Commission
at the time of the beautification approval, to rename the street.
Richard Eckerle stated he feels changing the name in a develop-
ment of this nature should not be put up for public auction.
Lorraine Casper, Tropic Isle, stated people seem to become
confused with a number of tropic names and she feels it will be more
confusing.
Jean Beer, Tropic Isle, requested this street not be put up for
auction as she feels the entire policy should be reconsidered.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he hopes the auction policy is never
used again. It is his understanding that the Fire Department has
researched this for duplication of names and he has no problem with
changing the name as requested.
Upon question by Ms. Brainerd, confirmation was given that
there is no consensus to hold another street auction.
Ms. Brainerd moved to approve the name change, seconded by Ms.
McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews -
Yes; Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes;
Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
24. Authorization to Develop Materials and Pursue Actions at the
Legislative Session in Tallahassee. The Commission is to consider
authorizing staff to develop materials and pursue actions at the Legis-
lative Session in Tallahassee relative to the HRS exemption for the
afterschool program and health policy issues. Approval is recommended.
The Interim City Manager stated authority to present these two
items to the Legislature is being requested. The first item is Licens-
ing of the Afterschool Program. The City and churches have had an
exemption from meeting the full requirements of the HRS Code, as it
-11- 1/16/90
applies to "for profit", the basic reason being that HRS accepts the
facilities that are utilized during the day as being an appropriate
place for a child to be, but when they become afterschool programs, they
are not. If the City had to meet all the HRS requirements it would be
necessary to reduce the total amount of children, most of whom are latch
key kids that are being currently cared for. The request is to allow
the same authorization as that enjoyed for the summer camp program.
The Interim City Manager stated the second item has to do with
HIV testing and, under the current State law, during the course of
investigation if an employee proves to be HIV positive, (a potential
AIDS person) and has AIDS along with being contagious, there is no
authority provided under State law to tell the employer. The concern is
a liability concern, should that employee be an EMS person and is called
upon to provide service to another individual. He feels an infectious
disease is being treated to the detriment of the general public in order
to provide specific support for the minority who are the people who have
this disease. He would like the Legislature to reconsider the action
that brought this statute into being and to provide, in a responsible
manner, a way for employees who are screened as HIV positive to have
that information passed onto their employers, particularly where they
hold critical positions such as health care, child care and food servic-
es.
A volunteer who works for the afterschool program came forward
and commented that he feels anything that can be done to keep that
afterschool program going will be a plus for the City.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated, at his Urban Administration Meeting,
there was a Counsel person who stated HRS was trying to gain this same
authorization in their community.
Ann Gannon, 22 N.E. llth Street, stated it is unclear to her
just what is being requested of the Commission, as she understands that
those persons who test HIV positive are not necessarily those who
actually get AIDS and she feels that is a privacy issue. The Interim
City Manager advised he is requesting the Commission for permission to
address it to the Legislature and ask that they take this under consid-
eration.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for approval, seconded by Ms. Brainerd.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms.
Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Camp-
bell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
26. Acceptance of Street Deeds. The Commission is to consider
accepting County Resolution R-89-1905, which turns over, by deed,
maintenance responsibiliy for 31 streets previously annexed into the
City. Approval is recommended.
Gates Castle, City Engineer, stated that the recommendation is
that all of the streets, with the exception of Gulfstream Boulevard, be
accepted by the City Commission. Gulfstream Boulevard links a State
arterial road with a County collector road and he feels it should remain
a County collector and not become a City collector.
Ms. McCarty moved for approval, with the exception of
Gulfstream Boulevard, seconded by Ms. Brainerd. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - No; Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
32. Change Order No. 1 - West Atlantic/I-95 Interchange. The
Commission is to consider the approval of Change Order No. 1, increasing
the contract price by $17,821 and extending the completion date 10 days.
This change is necessary to eliminate Ficus Rubignosa trees and replace
them with Black Olive trees, to eliminate 14,042 square feet of St.
Augustine and replace it with 108,000 square feet of Bahia Sod and to
excavate and sod utility strips which were not included in the original
contract. Approval is recommended.
-12- 1/16/90
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned the reason for the change of trees,
the additional square feet of sod and the increase in cost. Lula
Butler, Director of Community Improvement, stated the area to be sodded
was expanded to include the utility easements which were excluded in the
original contract. The change in the type of sod was due to the drought
tolerance, along with being less of a maintenance problem.
Ms. McCarty moved to approve Change Order No. 1, seconded by
Ms. Brainerd. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Andrews - Yes; Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
The Interim City Manager advised if the Consent Agenda is
approved with Item 39, it will be with the understanding that the
addition of the 1979 Ford 150 Van will be included in those items going
for auction.

three years. Approval is recommended.

Ms. Brainerd moved for approval of the Consent Agenda, includ-
ing the addition to Item No. 39 as enumerated by the Interim City
Manager, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted
as follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
5 to 0 vote.
45.A.1. Mr. Weatherspoon commented that he is on a committee at Carver
Middle School and it was recommended that a committee be formed in order
to consider the types of uses the school can be used for in the future.
45.A.2. Mr. Weatherspoon stated the committee would also like for the
Kids and Cops Program to be expanded to include the After School Pro-
gram, which include a number of latch key kids.
45.A.3. Mr. Andrews stated he is disappointed in the landscaping
throughout the City by the lack of attention at the interchange areas,
as he feels those two spots are the front door to this community. He
circulated a photograph showing a sample of what he would like to see at
the entrance to the City.
45.A.4. Mr. Andrews commented that, since the election is less than
three months away, along with learning who will be directing the City,
he feels there has been enough changing around and the only other thing
he would agree to, given flexibility for either Mr. Bird or a new City
Manager and a new Commission, would be anything through attrition.
Other than that, he would not entertain any shifting of staff.
45.A.5. Ms. McCarty commented a request has been received from the
Human Relations Board to reevaluate their scope and she questioned the
status. The Interim City Manager advised January 23rd has been suggest-
ed as a date for a workshop.
42.A.6. Ms. McCarty stated in November she had suggested workshopping
or discussing the trade of Swinton Avenue for 10th Street with the
County and have the County put some dollars forward for some hardscaping
of Swinton Avenue. She feels this has been delayed by staff because
they are not sure of what the Commission direction is. She asked that
this item also be workshopped in order to provide clear direction to
staff.
42.A.7. Ms. McCarty stated the DDA has supplied information requested
by the Commission regarding sidewalk cafes and she is hoping that item
can be readdressed soon.
42.A.8. Ms. McCarty questioned the status of a memo received from the
DDA with regard to the renaming of the one-way pairs signage and asking
for a designated City liaison. The Interim City Manager advised the
County has been contacted to discuss the signage issue as it requires
concurrence from them to do that. The City has preliminary authoriza-
tion to proceed at a cost of approximately $1600 and, if there is no
objection, staff plans to go ahead with this. As for other issues in
the downtown area, such as traffic flow, he feels those should be
workshopped, with Lula Butler being the liaison person.
42.A.9. Ms. McCarty asked the status of the lighting on Swinton Avenue.
The Interim City Manager advised there has been no firm date by FP&L for
-16- 1/16/90
installation of the colonial type lights in the Historic Preservation
area, but the City will continue to pursue that. He also stated that
FPL will pay for and maintain the same type of lighting that is there.
Ms. Brainerd stated, it was her understanding, that the choices
available to those neighborhoods was the same as what they have now,
colonial with one globe or colonial with two globes because anything
other than than was an additional cost.
Ms. McCarty questioned if there is a possibility that a grant
might be available to assist in upgrading the lights, or upon installa-
tion, an upgrade of the globes. She feels letters should be obtained
from the Homeowners Associations to be cognizant of their input.
42.A.10. Ms. McCarty questioned if direction could be given to the
Grants Administrator to research neighborhood grants available on a
Federal and State level. The Interim City Manager stated this has been
done with Homeowner's Associations to research which grants may be
available and overlooked in the past and advised this item will be added
to investigate Historic neighborhoods.
42.A.11. Ms. McCarty questioned if the design on LaMat Avenue is the
same as approved. She also stated the former Vince property that is now
owned by Ed Morse is a parking lot of cars with no landscaping or paving
and questioned the Code relative to this. The Interim City Manager
advised Phase I is presently under development, but he will review this
and have an answer for her.
42.A.12. Ms. McCarty questioned the status of Fire Station No. 2. The
Interim City Manager stated when he spoke with Mr. Walsh last Thursday,
the necessary document was to be delivered this week, but it has not
been received at this time. The City Attorney stated there will be a
ratification and the changes will be available for review by the Commis-
sion at the January 30th Regular Meeting.
42.A.13. Ms. Brainerd stated the list supplied to the Commission of
Boards and members is repeatedly wrong and she would like an update and
the names of those persons who have previously resigned purged from the
list.
42.A.14. Ms. Brainerd commented that she had occasion over the weekend
to drive through the single family neighborhood just west of Davis Road
off Lake Ida Road. She feels the Code Enforcement Department is not
doing their usual job. She found many violations of the Good Neighbor
Ordinance and is asking staff to provide the Commission with a report of
Code Enforcement activities for the past 120 days. She would also like
this coordinated with Waste Management as to why this trash is allowed
to remain for so long.
42.B. There were no comments from the City Attorney on Non-Agenda
Items.
42.C.1. The Interim City Manager requested authority to pursue a grant
from SFWMD to provide and install water saving devices in residences in
the City as an additional part of the attempt to meet the mandate from
South Florida Water Management. It is a program that requires the City
to physically install these devices. They consist of flow restrictors
to be installed in lavatory sinks, aerators containing flow restrictor
buttons and a water tank quantity reducer in toilet tanks. Upon ques-
tion, the Interim City Manager advised there is an investigation into
changing the Building Code to see if it can be handled in that way.
Mr. Andrews suggested condominiumns would see a direct savings
if this should be applied there and it might be an opportunity to
educate a great number of people opposed to going door to door. Ms.
Brainerd agreed and also expressed a concern regarding Gulfstream and
their pull on the City's water consumption. The Interim City Manager
advised the City gets an update, they are metered and watched closely.
42.C.2. The Interim City Manager stated a hand out was given to each
Commissioner concerning the Stress Management Program at the Police
Department to alert each member that it is completed and will be on an
-17- 1/16/90
upcoming agenda. It is his recommendation that the funding source be
the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, if appropriate. The entire program is
recommended and will provide an approximate cost for the portion of the
program that applies to the families of the officers. The Fire Chief
has expressed a desire that his employees be added to that, since the
trauma among the EMS induce the same types of stress that the Police
Officers undergo.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 9:17 P.M.
