(Copy of Ordinance No. 9-90 is on file in the official Ordi-
nance Book)
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance. 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.
Jerry Marshall commented he does not see the necessity for
passing an ordinance of this kind, but if it is passed it should read
"use of these skateboards for reckless activity."
Leon Appel stated he is in favor of young people enjoying
themselves, but not to the point of being destructive or reckless.
Sam Schwimmer stated he is not in favor of Ordinance 9-90.
Rhonda Almond, Co-Director of Eastern Skateboarding Associa-
tion, requested the Commission not to ban the kids from the streets,
rather designate an area where skating is permissible and the hours when
they can skate.
Sherry Settelen, Police Officer, commented the kids should be
able to skate, but not destroy public or private property. She called
the Lake Worth City Clerk's office and obtained a copy of their Ordi-
nance 89-17, regarding skateboarding, and distributed it to the mer-
chants of Delray Beach so they could approach the Commission and the
DDA.
Dan Hutchinson stated he would like to see an area designed
specifically for skating purposes.
Aaron Wright stated he would like to see a skate park developed
in Delray Beach.
Kip Hutchinson stated he was in favor of skateboarding.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated Item A should be deleted from the
ordinance with no action taken to Atlantic Avenue prohibition, but there
should be an ordinance stating it would be illegal to operate in a
reckless manner on the sidewalk. He feels the new Commission should
determine how and where skateboarding will be permissible.
Ms. McCarty clarified the fact that skateboarding is not being
banned from the sidewalks of the community; it is being banned on one
portion of Atlantic Avenue which has heavy retail traffic. She feels
-4- 3/27/90
the area for skating should be shortened, but she is in favor of keeping
the prohibition and looking into a park for the near future.
Ms. Brainerd stated she would like to leave Item A as it is.
Mayor Campbell stated the primary problem appears to be during
the heavy business hours, and the Atlantic Avenue Association should be
allowed to look at this issue again, with a possibility of considering a
time limitation.
Ms. McCarty questioned how that would solve the issue of public
property being damaged. Mayor Campbell responded by stating he doesn't
feel this ordinance is to control vandalism, but rather to control the
majority of the general skateboard traffic.
Ms. Brainerd moved to adopt Ordinance 9-90 as written, with the
new Commission looking at it posthaste in order to come up with solu-
tions for alternative sites where they can freeskate, seconded by Ms.
McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Andrews -
Yes; Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor
Campbell - No. Said motion passed with a 3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call, Mr. Weatherspoon commented that they should
try to work with the kids, allowing them to skate so long as they do it
in a safe manner. If they do not cooperate with the responsibility
given them, the new Commission can be more restrictive.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

pensate him for his time or other operational expenses. Procacci Real
Estate Development Corporation should be reimbursed for some of it's
expenses based on a joint venture that was taken in good faith with this

31.A.2. Mr. Weatherspoon questioned what could be done about making
Captain Brooks eligible for the 20 and Out Program. For the record, he
requested that the incoming Commissioners look into this. He stated
that the Pension Board recommended denial, but Captain Brooks has served
the City well.
31.A.3. Mr. Weathersp°on stated that during the Organizational Meeting
a time should be set for the swearing in of the new Commissioners. He
would like to have the motion state that where there is no need for
runoff the Commissioners can be sworn in without waiting two weeks. This
will alleviate delaying business that could possibly be taken care of.

tion. The City Attorney advised it is for the full $21,400,000.

an honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Delray Beach.

and is looking forward to continuing his work as an active civic leader
in the community.
