serving under this Commission.
8.4. Richard Adams, Secretary for Point of Delray Beach Association
Condo, stated several months ago they were told if a wastepaper contain-
er for recycling was permitted on their property, there would be no
charge. They agreed and are now being billed $43.00 per month which he
does not understand. Mayor Campbell suggested that he call the City
Manager for an explanation.
8.5. Mary Lou Strollo, Executive Director of Old School Square,

was talking to people about placement of the containers. They told
citizens that they would not be billing for these containers; however,
the City does and it is not a "no-charge" service, but a separate fee.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

seconded by Ms. McCarty. 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.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Ms. McCarty stated she would like to make it clear to all in
attendance that this is a First Reading; the Second and FINAL Reading
will be in two weeks so this is not ~he final passage of this ordinance.
She also reminded everyone that this is only along Atlantic Avenue, not
along the beach, or in the neighborhoods of the community and not a
City-wide prohibition. It originated specifically because merchants
were concerned about people going in and out of stores and not being
able to see the skateboards approaching.
Mr. Weatherspoon commented that upon giving further considera-
tion to this ordinance and the way it is drafted, he feels that instead
of prohibiting all skateboards in the area, it might be wise to place
some responsibility on the users by insisting that they operate their
vehicles in a safe manner.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
REGULAR AGENDA
Mayor Campbell suggested that Items No. 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19
and 21 be deferred, as he is cognizant of the fact that there are
certain appointments that need to be made and others that this Commis-
sion does not need to be accused of dragging the election into the
appointment process. He asked that staff look at those seats which
might need a quorum and, where the appointments might fall to a respec-
tive member of the Commission, he suggested the nominating party might
check with some of the new members of the Commission and make sure there
is no controversy involved.
Ms. McCarty moved to defer Items No. 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19 and
21, 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.
12. Appointment of a Regular Member to the Board of Adjustment.
Deferred.
13. Reappointment of a Regular Member to the Board of Adjustment.
The Commission is to consider the reappointment of Robin Smith as a

1993.
Ms. Brainerd moved to reappoint Robin Smith, 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.

ance Board. The Commission is to consider the reappointment of two
-5- 3/14/90
alternate members to the Community Appearance Board to terms ending

ed 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.
23. Delray Beach Golf Inc. Letter of Credit. The Commission is to
consider a revised Letter of Credit submitted by Delray Golf, Inc.
Approval is recommended.
Mr. Weatherspoon asked if the revised submittal is represent-
ative of the discussion of the last meeting with regard to the Line of
Credit and subject to any technical modifications by the City Attorney.
The City Attorney stated, in his opinion, it is not. He further stated
that the two or three technical areas have been addressed in the
re-submission; however, it is his position, after having listened to the
tape of the meeting in December and having reviewed the excerpt of the
minutes about the vote taken at that time, that the submission with the
laundry list with a basis of draws on the Letter of Credit, was not what
the Commission had voted on. This submittal does not match that and,
therefore, did not meet with his approval. That does not say that this
precludes the Commission from accepting this; but it has been his
position that, in addition to the technical deficiencies which would be
corrected by this new submission, the generalized statement the City had
requested and, he believes the Commission has approved, is not contained
in the re-submission.
Mr. Weatherspoon asked if the City Attorney would share with
the Commission what he feels is missing. The City Attorney commented
that it really is not missing, but that the re-submission contains a
laundry list of items numbered 1-8 of grounds for draws against the
Letter of Credit. It was his recommendation then, and is now, that the
City should not try to get specific because it would not be possible in
the future to know what might be left out; rather, he would request
what he calls a "clean letter of credit", which says it is a draw by the
City whenever the License Agreement has not been complied with. The
working in mind is that which is attached to the March 14 memo to the
Commission (a redraft of the Letter of Credit the City Attorney's Office
retyped and submitted to the Licensee's representative the first week of
January).
Ms. McCarty asked for confirmation that the Commission had
previously agreed to this and now, as she understands it, the lessee is
trying to continue the point that they were trying to make when the
6 3/14/90
Commission voted against it. The City Attorney stated that is his
understanding. Ms. McCarty then asked, if everything is not thought of
that could possibly happen in their request, then the City will be
unable to obtain the money to do what needs to be done if there is not
enough foresight by the Commission to include everything in their
laundry list. The City Attorney advised his position is, if the Commis-
sion attempts to itemize things, there is no way of knowing what has
been left out until it happens. Ms. McCarty questioned, in order to
protect the City from things that could happen that may not be antici-
pated at this time, that would be the recommendation of the safest way
to go. The City Attorney advised that is his recommendation.
Gilbert Goldstein, of Delray Golf, Inc., stated they met with
the Commission on December 27th, 1989, he has since seen a resume by Mr.
Barcinski, and disagrees with what the City Attorney stated. He further
stated they went into great detail on each individual item at that
December 27th meeting and they could not give the type of Letter of
Credit that the City Attorney is recommending, but would have to revert
to a Bond. The technical changes requested by Mr. Barcinski have been
made and they feel it complies with both the spirit and the details of
the agreement with the City Commission.
Ms. McCarty moved to deny the Delray Beach Revised Letter of
Credit and to accept the already approved original Letter of Credit,
seconded by Mr. Andrews. Upon roll call the Commission voted as fol-
lows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Ms. Brainerd - No; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - No. Said motion FAILED with a 3 to
2 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Andrews asked if Mr. Code House signed the Letter of Credit
that the City Attorney is referring to. The City Attorney advised it is
one that is even cleaner. Mr. Andrews also asked if it was suspected in
the RFP's that anyone bidding on the Golf Course would have to sign one
of those letters of credit. The City Attorney stated the specifics said
that the City was looking for a clean irrevocable Letter of Credit.
Mr. Goldstein stated the discussion at the original meeting
indicated that no one knows who is going to be here in the future and if
a General Letter of Credit is used, anyone can call anything a default
and call on a Letter of Credit and that is why the specifics involved so
much time and completely covers the City.
Mayor Campbell commented that he has no problem with the
applicant's Letter of Credit; however, he would like to add the condi-
tion that that it would cover any contingency wherein the City had any
monetary potential damages and/or consideration.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Ms. Brainerd moved for approval of the applicant's Letter of
Credit with the condition added by Mayor Campbell that the City may make
a claim on the Letter of Credit as to any violation of the Contract
which would have a monetary damage implication for the City, seconded by
Mr. Weatherspoon. 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:
Mr. Andrews asked that the City Attorney comment on the last
item that was added. The City Attorney stated it is better, but still
not his recommendation. He feels the City is at some risk in that other
contingencies have not been adequately covered. Upon question by Mr.
Andrews as to specific contingencies, the City Attorney stated that he
cannot name those and that is what bothers him.
At this time the roll was called to the motion.
-7- 3/14/90
24. Old School Square - Line of Credit. The Commission is to
consider approval of a negotiated method for selection of a financial
institution and award bid. Approval is recommended.
The City Attorney advised that Item No. 24 relates to Item No.
49 of the Consent Agenda, which is the actual resolution for the Bond
Anticipation Notes and contains the details. Once this has been re-
solved, there is no need to delete Resolution No. 30-90 from the Consent
Agenda. If it is not resolved, it will be necessary to approve the
resolution separately.
Ms. McCarty left the Commission Chambers at this time.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, David Huddleston, Finance
Director, stated the staff and Financial Advisor recommendation is to go
with the fixed rate proposal from Sun Bank.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to approve staff recommendation, second-
ed by Ms. Brainerd. (Mayor Campbell stated that he will not be voting
on this item and Deputy Vice-Mayor Brainerd took the Chair.) Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - Yes; Mr. Weather-
spoon - Yes; Deputy Vice-Mayor Brainerd - Yes. Said motion passed with
a 3 to 0 vote.
The City Attorney advised that the details just now adopted,
have been entered into Resolution No. 30-90.
25. Settlement Offer - Procacci. The Commission is to consider a
follow up to direction received at the January 23rd Workshop and the
Regular Meeting of January 30th, at which the Commission, by consensus,
denied the settlement offer of $150,000 and directed the City Attorney's
office to submit an offer of judgement in the amount of $60,000.
The City Attorney advised that nearly a month ago Mr. Andrews
made a motion to postpone this item until the Commission had an opportu-
nity to meet with outside counsel and the City Attorney on the issue;
that has been done and it is now before the Commission for direction.
Ms. McCarty returned to the Commission Chambers at this time.
Mayor Campbell suggested that the Commission authorize the City
Attorney to make a formal counter offer, report back to the Commission
and place it on an upcoming agenda for final consideration.
Ms. Brainerd moved to authorize the City Attorney to write a
formal offer and record it with the Court, 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.
26. Settlement Offer. The Commission is to consider a settlement
offer from Robert Friedman in the amount of $1,000 to settle litigation
stemming from his attempts to acquire a Board Order from the Board of
Adjustment granting a variance. Approval is recommended.
Ms. Brainerd moved for approval, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews - No; Ms.
Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell
- No. Said motion FAILED with a 3 to 2 vote.
27. Stress Management Program. The Commission is to consider
authorizing staff to negotiate a contract with Dr. Larry Billion to
provide a Stress Management Program for the Police Department staff and
their families at a cost of $19,600 and appropriate funds from the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund.
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.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
-8- 3/14/90
Upon question by Ms. McCarty for clarification in the backup as
to the amount of money involved, the Interim City Manager advised the
amount being requested for this year's cost is $19,600 to come from the
Law Enforcement Trust Fund. The total program will be approximately
$36,000 to go through the three phases, if approved; however, judgement
was withheld in anticipation of learning exactly what would be included.
This first phase will include Stress Management for the officers, the
development of the program and the training of supervisors to recognize
stress problems in their subordinates. It also includes Dr. Billion's
availability onsight to do both formal and informal counseling with
individuals and, as needed, to spend a considerable amount of time
during one of the early phases in the development of the program working
with the officers.
Ms. McCarty stated there were a number of costs in the backup
and requested that the Interim City Manager place a memo in the Commis-
sion packets this Friday explaining what the City is doing for this
year, what is being implied for future years and what the City is
getting for that money.
Mr. Andrews asked what adjacent cities are doing relative to
this program. The Interim City Manager advised Boynton Beach is not,
Boca Raton has an abbreviated program which does not involve supervisors
and contact time with a clinical psychologist. Mr. Andrews commented he
feels one program should be implemented, but he is concerned as to how
far a program of this type is carried or the manner in which it is
stopped. The Interim City Manager stated he feels the question becomes
what is involved in the additional options available and whether or not
the City wants to include family programs; this is a decision that can
be made at a later date.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
28. Final Payment Request. The Commission is to consider a request
from H. Kurt Kettlehut and Associates for final payment in the amount of
$23,973.05.
Ms. Brainerd moved for denial of the request and to authorize
staff to continue negotiations, 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.

providing direction regarding the selection of a new City Attorney.

approval of a Master Site Plan for the Municipal Cemetery located at the
northwest corner of S.Wo 10th Street and S.W. 8th Avenue. Approval is

Ms. Brainerd moved for approval, 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.

to consider recommendations made by the Education Board regarding

S.D. Spady Elementary School.
Tom Fleming, Chairman of the Education Board, stated the School
Board is proceeding to complete plans for renovations at S.D. Spady
Elementary in the amount of $3.1 million, including plans for construc-
tion of a new administration and other buildings along with the renova-
tion of existing buildings. At this time, those plans do not include
acquisition of land north of Spady. Part of that plan involves an
orientation of access to S.D. Spady from Lake Ida Road and that entails
aligning 10th Avenue to Lake Ida Road, involving right-of-way
-9- 3/14/90
acquisition, road construction and expenditure of funds on the part of
the City. At this time, Gates Castle, City Engineer, presented a mylar
showing the area involved.
Mayor Campbell commented that he understands putting an en-
trance into the school, but does not know why a street needs to be
opened up there. He questioned, if the School Board condemns the
property to the north, why a private access cannot be made from Lake Ida
Road. Mr. Fleming advised that neither the School Board or the City are
prepared to condemn the property. The consensus agreement made by the
City and the School Board states that one or the other or both parties
are to do that. It also calls for acquisition of that property by the
City, the School Board or jointly, to provide frontage ultimately on
Lake Ida Road.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels if the City does not insist on
the frontage on Lake Ida Road, the School Board will put it on 10th
Avenue. Mr. Fleming stated it is the intent of the Education Board to
continue the acquisition of this property; the question is, who is going
to spend the money and where will it come from.
Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon, Mr. Fleming clarified that
he is asking the Commission for approval of his recommendation that the
City acquire the land in order to put the road through.
Ms. Brainerd moved to approve the recommendations, seconded by
Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mr. Andrews expressed a desire to learn if there were any
alternatives that may be pursued because, by voting for approval, he
feels the City is giving in. Ms. McCarty commented that she feels the
time this discussion should have been made, was at the time the con-
sensus document was agreed to, because the School Board is going to say
that was what was agreed to in this year's budget. If the City says no,
that will be an excuse for the School Board to do nothing; therefore,
she feels the City should take what they can get at this time and keep
pressuring for the rest of it.
Mr. Fleming advised that, prior to achieving the language in
the consensus document, the School Board's position was "no"; no land
acquisition and no way would anything further be done at Spady Elementa-
ry. Even though that was not the entire wish list, it was a compromise
that got the City to this point.
Mr. Andrews asked if it would be possible to send a message by
amending the motion to restrict the City's portion of the $500,000 in
the Bond Issue restricted to Spady until such time as the School Board
fulfills the item under discussion. Ms. McCarty commented that the City
will use only a portion of this money to do that improvement.
Ms. Brainerd amended her motion to state that the City is
willing to move forward with an appropriate confirmation by the School
Board; that they are also willing to move forward with the land acquisi-
tion at the appropriate time, Mr. Weatherspoon amended his second. 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.
32. Approval of Project Concepts for Neighborhood Improvement
Element - Decade of Excellence Bond Issue. The Commission is to consid-
er approval of project concepts for Neighborhood Improvement elements.
The City Attorney will provide detailed memorandum prior to the Wednes-
day evening meeting. Approval is recommended.
The City Attorney stated this item is on the agenda in order to
learn if the Commission has any additional information or details that
the City Attorney's office could present. The Bond Validation scheduled
for March 20th has been changed to the 28th, but they will be before the
Court at 12:30 P.M. to validate the GO Bond. One of the aspects of that
validation is testimony by staff, the City Manager and the Finance
Director about the purposes to be used for the money. One of the small
segments is the Neighborhood Improvement monies - the $500,000 amount.
-10- 3/14/90
It is felt that, since the time of the adoption of the resolution, if
there have been any other thoughts or discussions on the specificity for
that money, now is the time to let them know.
33. Use of City Owned Property North of Cason Cottage. The Commis-
sion is to consider a request from the Delray Beach Historical Society
to move an historic home on City owned property located north of Cason
Cottage.
Terry Pheil, a Board member of the Historical Society, stated
they are requesting that the City lease to the Historical Society the
property adjoining the current property at the Cason Cottage, for the
purpose of moving onto that sight an Historic residence that is current-
ly being threatened.
Mayor Campbell asked for confirmation that, at this time, all
they are requesting is that the City lease the Historical Society the
land for $1 a year and no responsibilities at this point. Ms. Pheil
commented they need to know they have a location on which to move the
house in order to pursue negotiation with the owner of the house.
Ms. McCarty moved to approve the request of a lease for $1 per
year and authorize staff to begin the appropriate negotiations before
final consummation, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Ms. McCarty stated she could not think of a more appropriate
use for that parcel of property and she would conceptually agree to
this, contingent upon going through the Historic Preservation Board
process, to ensure that the house is of historical significance and
exactly how it will be placed on the property.
Mayor Campbell asked Ms. Pheil to call the Chairman of the
Historic Preservation Board and, upon recommendation by the City Attor-
ney, the Commission will ratify the formal document.
Ms. McCarty amended her motion to include a provision that this
meets the consensus and agreement of the Historic Preservation Board,
Mr. Weatherspoon amended his second. 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.
34. Private Easement Regulation in Platting Process. The Commis-
sion is to consider requirements of the City in the platting process
regarding recognition and implementation of easement rights.
Mayor Campbell stated, on several occasions, there have been
instances where private easement rights seem to contradict the platting
process. He asked what the City's position is, if the City is obligated
and recognizes the private easements with regard to plats and can
private arrangements nullify plats afterward. The City Attorney advised
that the City takes the position, with regard to private easements, the
same way it is taken with regard to private deed restrictions, i.e.,
that they are not in consideration for a building permit, site plan
review, etc. In some instances utilities are under consideration
because they are public, but private easements are a private enforcement
matter. If there is a deed restriction that restricts certain property
to single family homes only and the City has the property zoned in a
multi-family zoning district, that owner can come in with a plan to show
a multi-family structure and the City will issue the building permit.
Mayor Campbell asked, if the City's action is limited later by
private action, does the City have responsibility either way. The City
Attorney stated for enforcement, it is the responsibility of the indivi-
dual property owner to initiate some type of litigation, but that is not
to say the City has not used private easements in the past for purposes
of gaining compliance with the subdivision requirements.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Attorney agreed that,
when the City accepts a plat and takes a title certification, an ease-
ment is considered in the nature of a lien; but he is not sure that
would be shown on any of the plat documents. David Kovacs, Planning
-11- 3/14/90
Director, commented he feels Mayor Campbell is referring to an easement
required by the P&Z Department. The City Attorney advised that if there
was an existing easement, it would not be reflected on the plat. Mr.
Kovacs stated the survey required should show all easements that are
real in appearance. If the City allows a plat, which in turn, allows a
development to occur and it does not allow the use of that previous
easement, that is their problem to solve. Mayor Campbell commented he
feels the City is exposing itself to liability due to having limited or
ignored those easement rights. The City Attorney confirmed Mayor
Campbell's question that, should a parcel of property have an easement
on the east side, the City plats it and puts a road on the west side not
allowing traffic on the east side, the City has limited a general
easement. Mayor Campbell then asked if the City is responsible for
this. The City Attorney stated he feels the City is not obligated and
if there is to be a suit, it would be up to the dominant estate.
Mr. Kovacs stated, for example, if a parcel is zoned multiple
family and there is a deed restriction stating it can be used only for
single family, the City allows single family use in the multiple family
district. If the City has a plat that requires access over easements,
and a developer puts a restriction on that access, that cannot restrict
what the City requires. He also confirmed that, if the City declared it
to be available for access as a public easement, the developer cannot
put on a restriction to prohibit that.
The Commission concurred to place this on an upcoming agenda.
36. Refurbishment of Vacated Spaces - City Hall Expansion. The
Commission is to consider a review of drawings, engineering cost esti-
mates and authorize staff to proceed with refurbishment of vacated
spaces resulting from City Hall expansion. Approval is recommended.
The Interim City Manager stated staff is looking for specific
authorization because the contractor is now on board and it is felt he
should be retained and this made an expansion of the ongoing work.
Mayor Campbell left the Commission Chambers at this time and
Vice-Mayor McCarty took the Chair.
Gates Castle stated he has grouped these into individual
packages and is looking for direction to proceed or reject.
Vice-Mayor McCarty requested that Mr. Castle explain the
Contingencies item and the Overhead and Profit item, which totals 25%.
Mr. Castle stated the prices on the furniture may not be valid when the
order is placed. The carpentry work is an unknown as nothing has been
designed. He has attempted to spread the contingencies throughout each
item.
The Commission concurred as follows:
I Move into New Wing Authorized
II Renovations to Existing City Hall Authorized
Referring to Item III, Vice-Mayor McCarty stated it is her
feeling that, until a permanent City Manager and City Attorney are
established, this item can be postponed with no difficulty. Mr. Castle
stated the existing contractor can do the work, but a response will be
needed soon. The renovations to the Public Works Administration Build-
ing can be postponed. Digby Bridg.es, Architect, stated that could be
one of the last items to be done. The Commission concurred to make this
a Change Order.
III Relocation of City Attorney C.O.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Commission Chambers at this time
and took the Chair.
IV Records Retention Authorized
V Renovations to Commission Chamber
and Lobby Area Authorized
VI UPS Hookup to Generator Authorized
-12- 3/14/90
VII Landscaping of Lake Ida Rd. wastewater
yard for storage of abandoned and
auction vehicles Omit
Ms. McCarty commented she would like staff to supply alterna-
tives of where those vehicles could be stored and how much room is
needed. The Commission concurred to omit this item until a later date.
VIII Modifications to landscaping for City
Hall Expansion Project Authorized
Upon question by Ms. McCarty regarding Item IX, the Interim
City Manager stated, in order to have adequate data transmission, it is
necessary to have the Police and Fire Departments hooked in. The
majority of the cost is for trenching, jacking and boring under Atlantic
Avenue to get to the Police Department; the Fire Department portion is
minimal.
Mr. Andrews requested a breakdown, along with more information.
Dick Zuccaro, Director of M.I.S, stated the fiber optic line itself is
expensive; it is a high-speed line and the distance is approximately
3000 feet. Upon question by Mr. Andrews, Mr. Zuccaro confirmed that
when the existing Fire Station is moved, the line is saved and a junc-
tion box installed, along with needed hardware.
IX Fiber Optics from City Hall to Police
and Fire Depts. Authorized
X Professional Fees Authorized
Ms. McCarty moved to approve the refurbishment of the vacant
spaces as discussed and the expenditure of the funds as discussed,
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.
35. Request to Expand the Scope.of Architectural Services - City
Hall Expansion. The Commission is to consider ratifying a supplemental
amendment to the contract for architectural services for the City Hall
Expansion project to include the refurbishment of vacated spaces,
estimated in the amount of $47,612 for architectural fees and $18,000
for construction manager fees, with funding to come from the 1987
Utility Tax Unallocated Interest Earnings. Approval is recommended.
Ms. Brainerd moved for approval, as discussed, 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.
36A. Discussion of Interim City Manager's Contract. The Commission
is to consider a readjustment of termination date of Interim City
Manager's contract which expires April 30, 1990.
The Interim City Manager stated the purpose was to encourage
the Commission to move as rapidly as possible in the selection process.
The City should be in budget now and, in order to do this effectively,
will need the input of the individual who is selected to replace him.
He feels by amending his contract appropriately to terminate on March
30, 1990, which would be the earliest date he feels he can complete a
few things he is in the midst of at this time, it might be helpful for
the new Commission to have a person on board much sooner.
Ms. McCarty moved to amend Mr. Bird's contract to have it
expire on March 30, 1990, 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.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Thomas Lynch, Mayor-elect, stated he would like to recommend
that the five persons selected by the Committee are all acceptable
-13- 3/14/90
people, from what has been determined, and that they should be invited
to Delray and a time set up in order that they might be here within the
next two weeks. Mayor Campbell commented that the last time there was a
two-fold process with individual interviews scheduled with the Commis-
sioners. In addition to this, a general reception was held for all five
applicants and all the community leaders were invited to come and meet
them. Mayor-elect Lynch expressed the desire that a like reception be
repeated and requested that the current Commission proceed with the
details.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
CONSENT AGENDA

exist in the 911 Budget.
39. Final Plat Approval. The Commission is to consider approval of

50. Award of Bids and Contracts.

605 N.W. 5th Street - $17,000
B. Hurricane Window Covers - Pompey Park and Community
Center Gymnasium - Cantway Builders in the amount of $7,545
with funding from 1988-90 Lapsed Funds.
Ms. Brainerd moved for approval of the Consent Agenda as
amended, 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.
51.A.1. Mr. Weatherspoon stated there is a Sewer Board meeting tomorrow
night and questioned the status of the revenue for funds to cover the
work that needs to be done. The Interim City Manager advised funds will
be in hand at the time and it will probably be recommended to the
Commission, depending upon the timing for the actual signing of the
contract. The activities for tomorrow should be for approval of the
staff at the Sewer Board to enter into the creation of a contract and
then bring it back to the Commission at some later date. If it is close
to the end of the period for which bids were asked to be held open,
which was 120 days, the funding may be in hand. If not, it will neces-
sitate that the Commission enter into a letter of credit which will
probably never be drawn upon, but will satisfy the statutory requirement
to have a funding source in place prior to the signing of a contract.
The dollars will not be drawn from it but funding that is available in
the Water and Sewer area at that time will be used to bridge the gap for
one or two months until the bond proceeds are available.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 8:48 P.M.
