Sam Schwimer, Pines of Delray, stated this past week they have had five incidents of breaking and entering or robberies in the Pines of Delray. They are requesting more Police patrolling in the area to correct the situation. 8.2. Leroy Andrews, 618 S.W. 6th Avenue, stated that on Saturday at about 4:30 P.M. there was a Police brutality incident which he wit- nessed. There is also a lot of loitering in his community and he would like it moved. Mayor Campbell requested that the City Manager look into the reported incident. REGULAR AGENDA 9. Request For Funding. The Commission is to consider a request from Jeanne's Twirling Machine for $500 to send eight girls to the National Baton Twirling Association's World and National Championships, July 24th - 29th, at Notre Dame University. Jeanne Chwalik, Jeanne's Twirling Machine, stated they would like to travel to the National Contest at the University of Notre Dame and in order to do this they have been trying very hard to raise funds. They are approximately $2500 short of their goal with only a month in which to make up that money. They would like the City to help them to compete in the Championships. Upon question by Ms. McCarty, Ms. Chwalik advised she teaches through the Delray Civic Center; she gets paid for teaching, however, it is a non-profit group. Upon question by Ms. McCarty, the City Manager advised that normally what he would have done with a request like this would have been to put it in a Special Events category for their budget considera- tion. However, because of the time limit, they are not able to have the Commission review it for budget purposes. If they are willing to fund this, it would have to come from a Contingency Account. Ms. McCarty stated, while she is sensitive to the fact they are talking about children, she is concerned about what type of precedent they are setting. They are often not able to fund as much as they would like to through school programs. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he certainly shares Ms. McCarty's concerns; however, he feels they can certainly give $500 to what he considers an investment into the future. He would like one caveat and that would be that if close to the date they did not go, there would be no need for the City to give them the money. -2- 6/13/89 Ms. Brainerd stated she concurs with Ms. McCarty because she does feel they could be opening Pandora's Box for funding requests; however, she also agrees with Mr. Weatherspoon. Ms. Brainerd moved to approve a funding request of $250, and that it be given just before the trip occurs once they have secured the rest of their funding, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote. 10. Appointment of Four Members to the Historic Preservation Board. The Commission is to appoint four members to the Historic Preservation Board to terms ending June 9, 1991. The Historic Preservation Board recommends reappointment of incumbents Patricia Healy, David Martin, Alice Finst and Diane DeMarco. Ms. Brainerd moved to reappoint Patricia Healy, David Martin, Alice Finst and Diane DeMarco, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 11. Transfer of City Cemetery and Mausoleum Sales. The Commission is to consider approving the transfer of the City Cemetery and Mausoleum sales and development contract from Total Prearrangement, Inc., to Prearrangement, Inc. Approval is recommended. The City Manager stated that he would like to postpone this item as they do not have some of the information they thought they would have this afternoon. They could either discuss this on June 20th or at the next regular meeting on June 27th. Ms. Brainerd moved to postpone this item to June 20th, seconded by Mr. Weathers~oon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. (NOTE: later in the meeting this item was reconsidered). 12. Site and Development Plan Approval - Groves of Delray. The Commission is to consider the site and development plan for the Groves of Delray, a proposed 150 unit townhouse development to be located north of Linton Boulevard on the east side of S.W. 10th Avenue. The City Manager and Planning and Zoning Board (4-1) recommend denial. Robert Eisen, attorney representing the Haggerty Group which is the developer of the site, stated that based upon the Planning and Zoning Board meeting, they went back and attempted to make a lot of changes to their plan. They would like to bring the revised plan back to the P&Z Board for a comprehensive recommendation. They would appre- ciate any comments and guidance which the Commission may give them to make that return easier and also request that if they come back before the Commission it is at a time certain. Digby Bridges, P&Z Board, stated he is pleased to see that the client is asking that it be returned to the Board. The plan has been greatly improved; however, there are a few things the Board may want to look at. He also has a doubt about the density. If you choose to do a townhouse development you cannot argue that because you have RM-15 zoning you are allowed 15 units to the acre. He feels that with a couple of improvements the Board will be able to improve it consider- ably. David Kovacs, Director of Planning, stated that he feels it is appropriate for the Commission to air any problems they may have with the project. He would not want to work something out at P&Z level and then have the Commission request more changes. Upon question by Ms. McCarty with regard to the density, Mr. Kovacs advised that even though they have the number of units allowed, they still have to provide an overall environment. The P&Z would then -3- 6/13/89 make an assessment of the internal circulation system, the adequacy of the open space and recreational areas. Ms. McCarty stated she is concerned about the density based on the amenities. Discussion followed with regard to when this item could be scheduled to go before the P&Z Board. Mayor Campbell stated he would like to have a draft of some covenants and restrictions which would ensure a quality development with regard to the usage of the common areas and the number of people who will be living in the units. Mr. Eisen stated they do intend to do extensive revisions to the existing documents and they will provide them as part of the approval package. Ms. Brainerd moved to send the site and development plan for Groves of Delray back to the P&Z Board for consideration, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 13. Waiver of Conditions - Happy Times Day Care. The Commission is to consider waiving conditions attached to the Conditional Use approval for Happy Times Day Care. Mr. Weatherspoon moved to waive the conditions, seconded by Ms. Brainerd. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. Mooring Buoy Installation. The Commission is to consider a request to install a mooring buoy in an area bounded by Casuarina Road, Venetian Drive and the Intracoastal Waterway. Approval is recommended. The City Manager stated that the Beach Property Owners do have some concern about what the subsequent use of the mooring buoy might be for. Peter Morrissette stated the purpose of the mooring buoy is to moor a vessel unattended until used. He has had approvals from the Federal, State and County. The City does not have much docking space and that is why he is making this request. Upon question by Ms. Brainerd if they have any other of these mooring buoys in the City, Mr. Morrissette advised that there are none that he knows of. Gates Castle, City Engineer, advised that the concern of the Beach Property Owners Association is that at the location where Mr. Morrissette lives, there are already four docks and they question why he needs a mooring buoy. Mr. Morrissette advised that he has moved and now resides on Spanish Trail where there is no ~ock space available. Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon as to whether or not there is some type of revenue generated to the City if he were to build a dock, Mr. Castle stated they would collect a permit fee. However, he is not sure how they would handle the permit for a buoy. The City Manager commented that this is navigable water under the control of the Corps of Engineers who permit such installations, subject to local permitting. Ms. McCarty moved to deny the applicant's request for a mooring buoy, seconded by Ms. Brainerd. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - No. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote. Mayor Campbell left the Commission Chambers at this time and Vice-Mayor McCarty took the Chair. -4- 6/13/89 25. Resolution No. 31-89. Resolution No. 31-89, authorizing the issuance of not exceeding $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Utilities Tax Revenue Bonds of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, for the purpose of financing the costs of certain capital programs and projects; providing for the terms and payment of said Utilities Tax Revenue Bonds and the rights, remedies and security of the owners thereof; making certain covenants and agreements in connection there- with; authorizing the proper officials of the City to do all other things deemed necessary or advisable in connection with the issuance of the Utilities Tax Revenue Bonds and providing for an effective date, is before the Commission for consideration. The caption of Resolution No. 31-89 is as follows: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF NOT EXCEEDING $5,000,000 AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF UTILITIES TAX REVENUE BONDS OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, FOR THE PURPOSE OF FINANCING THE COSTS OF CERTAIN CAPITAL PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS; PROVIDING FOR THE TERMS AND PAYMENT OF SAID UTILITIES TAX REVENUE BONDS AND THE RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND SECURITY OF THE OWNERS THEREOF; MAKING CERTAIN COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS IN CONNECTION THEREWITH; AUTHORIZING THE PROPER OFFICIALS OF THE CITY TO DO ALL OTHER THINGS DEEMED NECESSARY OR ADVISABLE IN CONNECTION WITH THE ISSUANCE OF THE UTILITIES TAX REVENUE BONDS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (Copy of Resolution No. 31-89 is on file in the official Resolution Book) David Huddleston, Finance Director, advised that on the note itself, $4.3 million, the City will draw that note and $4.3 million will be issued. The City will be under $5 million issuance for the year and they will proceed to take advantage of the arbitrage provisions for the three year period. They are estimating, on a conservative draw sched- ule, that they should be able to pick up an additional $80,000 by taking the full amount and proceeding to invest that, using the interest earnings to pay the interest expense. With regard to the bond resolu- tion, in discussions with bond counsel, they went ahead and plugged in the number of $5 million in case during the three year period the Commission would want to renegotiate or issue more money they would have the ability. All they are doing is authorizing the ability to do this; when they actually issue they could establish it at $4.3 million. If they pay off $3 million, they would only need to authorize for issuance $1.3 million. This still allows them the capabilities to pay back based upon the various revenue sources which have been discussed, but it does provide that at the end of that, whatever balance is outstanding would convert to a 20 year bond. Ms. Brainerd moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 31-89, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Vice-Mayor McCarty - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 0 vote. 26. Resolution No. 32-89. Resolution No. 32-89, authorizing the issuance of $4,300,000 aggregate principal amount of Utilities Tax Revenue Notes, Subordinate Series 1989, of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, for the purpose of providing short term financing for the costs of certain capital programs and projects; providing for the terms and payment of said Utilities Tax Revenue Notes, Subordinate Series 1989, and making certain covenants relating to the issuance of said Utilities Tax Revenue Notes, Subordinate Services 1989; authorizing the proper officers of the City to do all other things deemed necessary or advis- able in connection with the issuance of said notes; and providing for an effective date, is before the Commission for consideration.

Mr. Weatherspoon questioned why they are contemplating spending this amount of money for a computer model. The City Manager stated that the Comprehensive Plan suggested that they continue to explore the acquisition of this site in the event that their water resources should become saline intruded beyond what they project. If they should need the western wellfield, they need to find out that it is available below ground and also negotiate the rights to drop wells. Mr. Weatherspoon moved to award the contract for the Ground Water Modeling for the potential Western Wellfield site in the amount of $13,500, seconded by Ms. McCarty.

This will allow them to move forward without any delay. Mr. Weatherspoon moved to reconsider the agenda to consider Item 11, seconded by Ms. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.

Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Ms. Brainerd - Yes; Ms. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. 29.A.1. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that he read the memo they received from the Traffic Coordinator of the County, with regard to the request for a signalization change at Germantown Road and Congress Avenue, and his concern is that people are making that turn illegally. He under- stands they have guidelines, but he feels it is common sense to allow people to make the left turn into the IBM facilities. Gates Castle, City Engineer, advised he will follow this up with the County. 29.A.2. Mr. Weatherspoon advised he received some requests from a resident in Silver Terrace who is concerned about what can be done there to make their quality of life a little better. He will give a copy of this to the City Manager who can then forward it on to Mr. Castle to see if any of it has merit. 29.A.3. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that there are two parks on West Atlantic Avenue and 12th Avenue and it has been brought to his attention that there are adults frequenting them and the kids cannot go there in -8- 6/13/89 peace. The neighbors in that area are concerned and he would like the Police Department to give it some attention. 29.A.4. Mr. Weatherspoon stated on several occasions it has been brought to his attention that some of the City's Police Officers are not acting professionally. He believes a lot of work has been done to try and improve the relationship with the community and he hopes that the Chief will take a look at this. 29.A.5. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that a few weeks ago they discussed Carver Estates and whether or not they needed to add another police beat. To his knowledge, there has been no information telling the Commission why they cannot incorporate this into an existing beat or use directive patrol. 29.A.6. Ms. McCarty stated that when they discussed eliminating one workshop, she was under the impression they were referring to the third Tuesday of the month. She would like to clarify this for future policy. 29.A.7. Ms. Brainerd stated that a few weeks ago they discussed nostal- gic signs and reviewed a list. Carolyn Cunningham from Westside Liquors approached her recently and she agrees with her that the sign should have been included in that list. Discussion was had as to whether or not this should be placed on the Consent Agenda and what the feelings of the Nostalgic Sign Committee were when they discussed the list. Ms. McCarty stated if a representative of that Committee could do a memo with regard to what their specific deliberations were with this sign, and it is included in the packet, it could go on the Consent Agenda. The remaining Commis- sioners had no problem with placing this on the Consent Agenda. 29.A.8. Ms. Brainerd stated she would like the Police Chief to keep in mind that they need some increased patrols on the Lindell/Brandt corri- dor. There is increased construction and the neighbors are concerned about the traffic and speeders. 29.A.9. Mayor Campbell questioned the status of East Atlantic Avenue. The City Manager advised that the Engineering Department is going to the DOT offices tomorrow to get an update on their approval process. Frank Spence, Director of Development Services, advised that they have every indication that the DOT will approve their request. Everything else is still on schedule and they expect to go out to bid on the 21st of this month. 29.A.10. Mayor Campbell stated that last week they discussed the DDA parking lot lease and deeding the property to the City. The DDA would prefer that the City go ahead and execute the lease which would save them $1,150 per year. He questioned if the staff contacted the DDA or did anything on this subsequent to last week. Mr. Spence advised that the DDA did meet on Monday and the Commission's action requesting that they donate the land to the City was discussed; however, the idea was rejected. Therefore, they requested that the City take over leasing the lots for $1.00 per year. Mayor Campbell suggested that if the Commission has no problem with this they can place it on the agenda for next Tuesday. 29.A.11. Mayor Campbell stated he would appreciate if staff would meet with Mr. Simon and get a report back to the Commission on what is going on with regard to Jacobsons and any recommendations that they, as a Commission, can undertake to facilitate this if it is still viable. 29.A.12. Mayor Campbell noted that tonight they had a charitable request and he requested that staff give the Commission some pre-screening abilities so that they are not forced to give the funds. He would even go so far as to say that if no Commissioner requests an item be placed on the agenda, it should not be done. -9- 6/13/89 29.A.13. Mayor Campbell advised that the County did pass the interlocal agreement regarding Code Enforcement today and once it is signed and official the City can have their people out on Federal Highway. 29.A.14. Mayor Campbell stated that Governor Martinez may call a special session of the Legislature. Since he has not said what it will be on, he would ask that Kathy Daley keep track of this. As soon as something materializes, she should let them know whether or not there are any City interests which need to be attended to.
