in the amount of $20,239 for the rental of a temporary office trailer to

the amount of $24,000. Approval to create a temporary, part time para
legal position in the Planning Department to process enclave annexa-
tions, allocating $24,000 from the Commission's contingency account for
partial year funding, and directing that Enclaves designated as "A" and
"B" in the Enclave Report be procured as soon as practicable, is recom-
mended.
Mr. Dougherty moved for approval, seconded by Mrs. McCarty.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes;
Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mrs. McCarty stated under alternative actions, there are three
options along with three determinations that can be made. One is the
formal acceptance of the report and its forwarding to the County Commis-
sion and she is prepared to accept the report tonight. The second is
the determination of the timing of the problem enclaves and the third is
determination regarding notice requirements. She suggested putting
these items on a workshop or possibly discussing and making decisions
tonight.
Mrs. Horenburger questioned the allocation of funds from the
Commission's contingency account. The City Manager stated there is an
adequate balance in the account.
Mr. Dougherty stated the intent of his motion was the formal
acceptance of the report and its submission to the County Commissioners.
-2- 1/26/88
375
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mr. Dougherty stated, with reference to the problem enclaves,
he feels the delay of the more difficult ones until late in 1989 is
unnecessary and will only create more approval requirements.
The City Manager stated approval of this action in no way
implies a delay of the implementation of the Enclave Act. It allows the
forward movement and the identification of Enclaves "A" and "B" which
presently have water and sewer service in addition to other amenities
that might not otherwise be allowed.
Mr. Kovacs, Planning Director, stated the main action sought
now is to proceed and the authorization to go ahead with the "A's" and
"B's". At the time the Commission wishes to workshop the problem
enclaves a date will be chosen to proceed. This funding is through
October 1st, both for the position and the advertising. It is the
intent to have all the properties annexed by March of 1989.
Mr. Dougherty questioned if this can be accomplished in 1988,
rather than extending it into 1989. Mr. Kovacs stated the last eight
enclaves are the problems and will take a longer time with regard to the
hearings. Another concern is the cash flow as the revenues will not be
received until October of 1989. If the Commission so directs, they can
be moved up with the "A's" and "B's".
The City Manager suggested Staff prepare an implementation
schedule which addresses the consensus established tonight.
Mrs. McCarty questioned the action of the notice requirements.
'The City Manager stated the para legal staff will be taking care of
that. Mr. Kovacs stated they would request a code amendment to delete
the posting requirement on each parcel of property. If it is the
consensus of the Commission they will request the City Attorney to
prepare a first draft. The Commission concurred.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to authorize the transfer of $24,000
from the Commission's contingency account to pay the salary for the
balance of this fiscal year for a part time temporary position to
process the enclave annexations, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mayor .Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
11. Site Plan Modification - Waterford Village. The Commission is
to consider a request for a major modification to the site plan of the
proposed Waterford Village, located on Audubon at Dotterel. Planning
and Zoning Board recommend approval.
Alan Ciklin, Attorney representing the developer, stated the
site plan is a modification of Delint Center, which was approved approx-
imately two years ago. Some of the modifications include reducing the
dwellings from three story to two story units, relocating the units so
there are more water views as well as moving them further from the busy
thoroughfares and a change of the recreational facilities.
Mrs. Horenburger questioned if this plan was reviewed in
relation to the site plan that exists on the balance of the property.
Mr. Ciklin stated the drainage plan was reviewed in light of the other
portion of the Waterford complex.
Upon question by Mrs. McCarty, Mr. Ciklin stated the amenities
package will consist of one swimming pool, a jogging trail, two tennis
courts, a racket ball court, and a clubhouse with a full scale gym
equipped with nautilus and exercise type facilities.
Mrs. McCarty questioned the market for the project. Mr. Ciklin
stated there is 800,000 square feet of office space, which will probably
produce nearly 5,000 employees. These young professionals can work and
live in the same area.
-3- 1/26/88

Mr. Dougherty expressed an interest in the drainage system and
questioned the extent of the developer's in-hand approvals from South
Florida Water Management District. The conceptual drainage plan has
been submitted to the City Staff and approved and also to the South
Florida Water Management District. As he understands the procedure, it
is not possible to have the final drainage approval until the site plan
has been approved.
Mr. Kovacs stated there is a drainage permit and program in
place for existing work that has been done. The first approved site
plan had approval from South Florida Water Management District. The
new road system, water system, sewer system and the excavations for the
lake have all been put in under the original Delint Plan. The plans
they are working on now are a modification to that previously approved
site plan. Their planting plans need to be submitted and approved.
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty, Mr. Kovacs stated the South
Florida Water Management District approves the lake area, and the City
Engineer's office approves the onsight drainage plans.
Mrs. McCarty moved to approve the site plan major modification
subject to the report of the Planning Director, seconded by Mrs.
Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
12. Appointment - Public Employees Relations Commission. The
Commission is to consider appointment of a regular member to PERC to a
term ending March 13, 1992.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the appointment of Martin
Frost as a member to Public Employees Relations Commission, seconded by
Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
13. Appointment - General Employees Retirement Fund Committee. The
Commission is to consider appointment of a member to the General Employ-
ees Retirement Fund Committee.
Mrs. McCarty moved to approve the appointment of William Plum
as a member to the General Employees Retirement Fund Committee, seconded
by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
14. Appointments - Code Enforcement Board. The Commission is to
consider appointment of a subcontractor-plumber (regular member), a real
estate person (regular member) and a general contractor (regular member)
to terms ending January 14, 1991.
Mrs. McCarty moved to approve the appointment of David Cohen to
fill the position of a real estate person (regular member) to the Code
Enforcement Board, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -
Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with
a 4 to 0 vote.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the appointment of Rome Renna
as a general contractor (regular member) to the Code Enforcement Board,
seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
15. Housing Pro~ect Proposal - Palm Beach Housing Partnership, Inc.
Resolution No. 8-88, endorsing affordable housing project proposal of
the Palm Beach Housing Partnership, Inc., and requesting County donation
of land for this purpose, is before the Commission for consideration.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 8-88:
-4- 1/26/88

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, ENDORSING A JOINT PROPOSAL BETWEEN PALM

SAID COUNTY OWNED LAND, PROVIDING FOR MAKING FUNDS

(Copy of Resolution No. 8-88 is on file in the official Resolu-
tion Book)
The City Manager stated Resolution No. 8-88 has been revised
and noted the revisions that have been made.
A representative for the Palm Beach County Housing Partnership,
Inc., confirmed they are a private, non-profit organization. The
initial administrative funding was received from the Board of County
Commissioners. Their main concern is providing affordable housing
throughout Palm Beach County. In this particular instance, their plan
is to construct and offer for sale three bedroom, two bath homes to
qualified residents who fall within an annual income of $26,000 to
$32,000. The 33 residences will be built on a parcel of land currently
owned by Palm Beach County.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 8-88,
as modified and presented, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -
Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with
a 4 to 0 vote.
16. Ordinance No. 1-88 - Rezonin~ Classification - Old School
Square. Ordinance No. 1-88, relative to the rezoning classification and
designation of the Old School Square to a Historical District, is before
the Commission for consideration on First Reading. If passed, Public
Hearing will be held February 9, 1988.
Mayor Campbell left the Commission Chambers at this time and
Vice-Mayor Horenburger took the chair.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 1-88:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, DESIGNATING AN AREA BOUNDED ON THE WEST
BY N.W. AND S.W. lST AVENUES, ON THE SOUTH BY S.E. AND
S.W. 2ND STREETS, ON THE EAST BY N.E. 1ST AVENUE, S.E.
lST AVENUE AND THE ALLEYS IN BLOCKS 74, 75 AND 76, TOWN
OF LINTON PLAT, AND BY N.E. AND N.W. 4TH STREET ON THE
NORTH, AN HISTORIC PRESERVATION DISTRICT; AMENDING ZONING
MAP OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, 1983; PROVIDING AN EFFEC-
TIVE DATE.
The Assistant City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mrs. McCarty moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 1-88. The
motion died for lack of a second.
Assistant City Attorney Kurtz advised this ordinance has been
classified as a rezoning and technically, it is an overlay zoning and
the underlying zoning on the property will remain the same. However, it
will be necessary to go through the Historic Preservation Board and
comply with the Historic District ordinance. Discussion followed
relative to the boundaries of the property involved.
Upon question, Mr. Kovacs clarified that certified notices were
mailed to concerned property owners. The Historic Preservation Board
made their findings, filed their report and held their public hearing.
Following the public hearing they prepared a recommendation for the City
Commission to enact the Old School Square Historic District. The
process then continues with the enactment of the Ordinance.
-5- 1/26/88
378
Clemmer Mayhew, 710 N.E 2nd Street, stated there were no
objections from the public at the hearing.
Upon question by Mrs. McCarty with regard to the procedure
followed, Mr. Kovacs stated the Historic Preservation Board must make a
finding of appropriateness that the activity being carried out is in
keeping with the district. Assistant City Attorney Kurtz stated there
is an appeal process to the Commission. He also stated this is an
overlay district and does not affect the underlying zoning.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she feels it needs to be explained more
clearly what the act of rezoning does or does not do. Mr. Kovacs stated
they will prepare a cover memo to refresh the Commission. Upon question
by Mrs. Horenburger if this affects the underlying zoning, Mr. Kovacs
stated it does not affect the use, but puts it in the zoning book in the
Historic criteria. Assistant City Attorney Kurtz advised it is the same
procedure that was used in the Nassau Street designation.
Mayor Campbell stated he is in favor of adding additional
restrictions, particularly in this area. This will add another level of
control, where the inner City can be preserved and protected in order
that that kind of misuse can thwart future efforts. When the Board was
established, it was discussed at great length in order that the public
might be aware of the ramifications. Mr. Dougherty stated it is diffi-
cult for him to believe not a single objection was lodged for such an
extensive area.
Mrs. Horenburger suggested a second certified letter be mailed
to each property owner in the event it was misunderstood or the person
was unable to attend. The City Manager confirmed there could be a
courtesy mailing from the list developed in the City Manager's office.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to adopt Ordinance No. 1-88 on First
Reading, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted
as follows: Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote.
PROCEDURAL ITEMS
17. There were no Non-Agenda Items by Citizens.
18. Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of January 12, 1988 and Special Meetings of December 22, 1987,
7anuary 5, 1988 and January 15, 1988, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon
~'oll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
19.a.1. Mrs. Horenburger stated she met with Dr. Ed Eissey of Palm
Beach Junior College, Ken Simback of Community Redevelopment Agency and
several others working on the Pineapple Grove area regarding N. E. 2nd
Avenue to discuss considering the use of some of the vacant buildings
being used on the campus of Palm Beach Junior College. In South County
and Central County students have been turned away due to lack of space.
With everyone's approval and possible grants to be of some assistance
they will assess their needs to determine how best to incorporate some
of their programs.
19.a.2. Mrs. Horenburger expressed her delight with regard to the grant
writing of the Old School Square, as approval was apparently granted for
an Arts Grant in the amount of $100,000. Hopefully that can be included
in the legislative package and our lobbyist can be urged to lobby for
that.
19.a.3. Mrs. Horenburger stated negotiations are still in progress
relative to the parking lot of the Delray Swap Shop and, hopefully, that
problem will be resolved soon.

19.a.4. Mrs. Horenburger stated a voter needs to be designated for the
League of Cities Meeting next week. She nominated Mr. Weatherspoon as
the voting member for that meeting. Mayor Campbell stated he is giving
a report and will be available to serve as the voting member, but
suggested that Mr. Weatherspoon might be an alternate member.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve Mr. Weatherspoon as an
alternate voting member for the League of Cities Meeting, seconded by
Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
19.a.5. Mrs. McCarty stated she has spoken with the Assistant City
Manager with reference to Pineapple Grove Way designating N.E. 2nd
Avenue above the Street Sign and he plans to speak with the Engineering
Department.
19.a.6. Mrs. McCarty stated there were lights on in the Howard Johnson
Restaurant, the boards were removed and, hopefully, they will reopen
soon.
19.a.7. Mrs. McCarty stated she would like to reiterate Mrs.
Horenburger's statement that negotiations are still in progress with
regard to the Swap Shop and she is hoping something will happen soon.
19.a.8. Mr. Dougherty stated having been a full time supporter of the
Elementary School Property Redevelopment, he would like to express his
thanks to the group that received the Grant. He also suggests that at
the next workshop meeting the City might consider matching the amount of
.the Grant. Mayor Campbell reminded the Commission that the $100,000 was
an increase; the total amount of the Grant is to be $531,000. Mr.
Dougherty stated he feels the way Grants are obtained is to show that
the City is willing and able to support the arts and culture. The
people applying must have conveyed to the persons making the judgement
that the City is behind them 100%.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she agrees with Mr. Dougherty and had
planned to suggest in the future that a matching grant be established.
She would like to see the private sector and the public get involved and
attempt to match an amount the City would give.
The City Manager questioned if the Commission would like the
item to be added to the Capital Improvement Program Agenda of the
Workshop of February 16, 1988. The Commission concurred.
19.a.9. Mayor Campbell stated with regard to the Capital Improvement
Program, he is looking forward to the workshop and having all the items
clearly set forth as to action in both short term and long term. He has
met with the City Manager relative to goals and objectives. He suggest-
ed that each Commissioner submit to the City Manager an update on items
of particular interest to them. For an example, he noted the extension
of S.W. 4th Avenue, approved in concept, to link with Dotterel Road to
ease traffic congestion and nothing has been heard for over six months.
The City Manager stated the City Consultant, Jim Mercer, built
into his fee, a goal setting session with the City Manager and the City
Commission. He feels it might be appropriate to focus on the Goals and
Objectives, apart and separate from the Projects and Programs. In the
Capital Improvement Program he hopes to show the Commission what
projects are in place, funding levels available, bid award and comple-
tion dates, projects planned and funded and to provide a listing of
Capital Improvement projects which are planned, but not funded, and some
recommended time lines over a five year period. Those will be broken
out into Streets and Drainage, Public Buildings, Utilities, Leisure
Services Facilities and Miscellaneous Projects. In this way the Commis-
sion can stay on top of the current year budget and better choose the
direction in terms of prioritizing for future years while continuing to
keep the Goals and Objectives session separate.
Mayor Campbell stated he is suggesting that where this Commis-
sion has either taken a vote, or by consensus, accepted a program or a
-7- 1/26/88
380
project, that this Commission should have received a flow back of
information so as to better respond to the citizens of the City.
The City Manager stated if a Commissioner finds the workshop
agenda does not show an item requested for discussion, those are items
that need to be picked up and at least identified or prioritized. It is
possible there was no funding allocated or identified.
Mrs. McCarty stated at the Directions '88 Event the public will
have an opportunity to voice an opinion as to their choices of community
improvement or betterment. She feels shortly thereafter, the Commis-
sioners should have a workshop or goal setting session with the City
Manager and Mr. Mercer and use the ideas submitted by the public to
establish a number of goals to be used as performance standards for the
City Manager.
Mrs. Horenburger stated the priorities are set at the DireCt-
ions Conferences relative to building a consensus as to the needs; that
is when a decision is made as to the wants of the Community.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels Direction '88 should be aware of
the goals and objectives of the elected officials to be used as a
guideline.
Mrs. Horenburger stated the Project update will reflect what
has been done, what is currently being done and what is yet to be done.
The City Manager stated in terms of the time frame, he feels
there will be a proposed budget to compare the consensus items arrived
at during the Directions '88 event. There will be input of goals and
'objectives direction, whether it be Administrative or Commission, at the
time the budget is prepared. The proposed budget will be submitted to
the Commission in July. Most of the preliminary staff work will have
been done by late May and the conference will have the benefit of what
the City sees as important. If modification is needed, there is ample
time during the formal hearing process to take care of that.
19.b. There were no Non-Agenda Items from the City Attorney.
19.c. There were no Non-Agenda Items from the City Manager.
Mr. Simback, representing the CRA, presented a brief update
relative to the UDAG Grant. He stated, as discussed yesterday at the
emergency meeting, the Department of Housing and Urban Development has
extended to the City an offer of a grant. The City would in turn loan
this to the developer, who would agree to repay the $5,000,000 at a 3%
interest rate on a 25 year amortization schedule. The major difference
in the agreement at this point, is that HUD is demanding what is called
a "kicker". This means that at any point in the process when the de-
veloper either syndicates it, sells it, resells it, or whatever, until
all the outstanding UDAG obligations are met, he is required to share
with the City 40% of the net proceeds. The bottom line is, after
totaling the payment of principal and interest on the $5,000,000 portion
the Federal Government would be granting to the City and at the end of
15 years under the formula they have presented to us, that alone will
net the City $7,335,960 plus some participation in future positive cash
flows and the proceeds of the syndications.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 8:30 P.M.
