01-13-87 JANUARY 13, 1987
A Regular Meeting of the City Commission of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was called to order by Mayor Doak S. Campbell in the
Commission Chambers at City Hall at 7:05 P.M., Tuesday, January 13,
1986.
1. Roll call showed:
Present - Commissioner Malcolm T. Bird
Commissioner Richard J. Dougherty
Commissioner Marie Horenburger
Commissioner Jimmy Weatherspoon
Mayor Doak S. Campbell
Absent - None
Also present were - City Manager James L. Pennington and City Attorney Herbert W.A. Thiele.
2. The opening prayer was delivered by Commissioner Jimmy
Weatherspoon.
3. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
4. Mayor Campbell presented a proclamation declaring that all
citizens watch the United Cerebral Palsy of the Palm Beaches and Trea-
sure Coast weekend with the stars Telethon on January 17-18, 1987, and
to pledge their support.
5. Mr. Dougherty stated he understands that there is a question
regarding either Item 6 or 31; the owner is requesting that one be
removed from the agenda. He requested that the Commission delete both
items until another meeting is held as he feels they need more dis-
cussion.
Roger Saberson, representing William Lehman, stated he made a
formal request that Item 31, regarding the conditional use and site
plan, be postponed. However, Mr. Lehman has requested that the Com-
mission proceed with Item 6 which deals with the rezoning.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels these two items are linked
together and should not be considered separately.
Henry Frick, representing the owner of the property, MFV
Associates, stated they are requesting that the Commission consider the
rezoning tonight. They are talking about rezoning a 2 acre parcel which
is part of a large overall tract already zoned commercial. The rezoning
has nothing to do with the issue of the conditional use and site plan
for the proposed auto dealership.
Mayor Campbell stated that he concurs with Mr. Frick and feels
it would be appropriate to have a consistent zoning plan for the entire
parcel of property. Therefore, he would be in favor of the deletion of
Item 31.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the agenda with the postpone-
ment of Item 6 and Item 31 until such time as the property owner has met
with all the residents, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - No. Said
motion failed by a 3 to 2 vote.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the agenda with the exception of Item
31 and Item 9 which he understands has been withdrawn, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon.
The City Attorney advised he would prefer that the Commission
consider Item 9 but vote no on the ordinance to eliminate it.
Mr. Bird amended his motion to show that Item 31 is the only
deletion, Mr. Weatherspoon amended his second. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
PUBLIC HEARING
6. Ordinance No. 91-86 - Lehman Rezoning. Ordinance No. 91-86,
relative to rezoning a 2.317-acre parcel from RM-10 (Multiple Family
Dwelling) District to SC (Specialized Commercial) District, located on
the south side of Lindell Boulevard, between U.S. Highway No. 1 and
Dixie Highway, is before the Commission for consideration on Second and
FINAL Reading. Prior to consideration of passage of this ordinance on
Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing has been scheduled to be held
at this time.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 91-86:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, REZONING AND PLACING LAND PRESENTLY ZONED
RM-10 (MULTIPLE FAMILY DWELLING) DISTRICT IN SC (SPECIAL-
IZED COMMERCIAL) DISTRICT, A PORTION OF THE PLAT OF
TROPIC PALMS NO. 1, AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 25, PAGE 99
OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA,
TOGETHER WITH A PORTION OF BLOCK 7 OF DEL RATON PARK,
ACCORDING TO THE PLAT THEREOF AS RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK
14, PAGES 9 AND 10 OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF PALM BEACH
COUNTY, FLORIDA. SAID LAND IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE
OF LINDELL BOULEVARD, BETWEEN U.S. HIGHWAY NO. 1 AND
DIXIE HIGHWAY, AND AMENDING "ZONING MAP OF DELRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA, 1983".
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.
Jean Beer, 945 Tropic Boulevard, stated they are requesting
that the 2.3-acre parcel not be zoned specialized commercial and that
the entire parcel be zoned general commercial. All those things which
are allowed within the general commercial zoning are also in the spe-
cialized commercial zoning with four additional permitted uses and ten
conditional uses. However, the specialized commercial allows automobile
dealerships and general commercial does not.
The following people spoke in opposition of the property being
rezoned to specialized commercial: Charles Smith, Paul Smith, Don
Hassler, Dr. Brent Carper, Richard Rosetti, Marion McCloud, Bill
Schnabel, Betty Malicotti, Charlie Smith and Nancy Carper.
Mr. Frick stated when this property was annexed into the City
it already had a zoning classification, in the County, which would have
permitted specialized commercial uses. They are asking for the same
treatment from the City.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 91-86 on
Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - No;
Mrs. Horenburger - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mrs. Horenburger stated that in studying the zoning code again
and looking at the conditional uses, it appears to her that someone is
allowed to have that use under certain conditions. If this applicant
were to be turned down by the City for an automotive use based on the
fact that they did not want that use there, and it was a conditional
-2- 1/1~/87
use, he could take the City to court and demand to know what the condi-
tions are which would permit that use.
The City Attorney advised that that is not necessarily true;
however, if they did deny the conditional use they would have had to
have denied it based upon the criteria for approving the conditional
use. The conditional use is something by which they must meet condi-
tions, not necessarily to which they attach conditions.
Mrs. Horenburger stated for this reason she will not vote in
favor of rezoning this property to specialized commercial.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that whatever they put on this parcel
will create a traffic problem. He feels that rezoning the property to
SC does not automatically mean that there will be an automobile dealer-
ship. He would be in favor of supporting the SC and, at some point in
the future, they could have the Planning and Zoning Board look at the
whole parcel and consider reverting it to general commercial.
Mr. Bird stated one of the stipulations of the Enclave Act,
which was imposed upon the City, was that they appropriately zone those
properties, which were in County pockets, where there was an existing
use. There is a rental equipment site located on the parcel in question
and would, under the terms of the Enclave Act, be zoned SC. For this
reason he feels specialized commercial is appropriate.
Mr. Dougherty stated they have heard some very good arguments
tonight against this rezoning and he feels the Commission should give
credence and recognition of the opposition. He stated that the Land Use
Advisory Committee recommended that there be no more automobile dealer-
ships on Federal Highway and, yet, they are talking about allowing four
more. He feels they are taking an inconsistent position if they agree
to this petition tonight. He looks at this rezoning as downgrading and
feels they should reconsider not just this two acre parcel, but the
entire parcel under consideration.
Mayor Campbell stated that he disagrees with the representa-
tions which have been made tonight; he believes that the main issue
tonight is the rezoning of a small parcel, not whether or not an auto-
mobile dealership is put there. It may very well be appropriate to have
the Planhing and Zoning Board look at the entire parcel.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Commission Chambers at this time.
Mayor Campbell declared a recess the time being 8:25 P.M. The
meeting was reconvened at 8:34 P.M.
7. Ordinance No. 92-86 - Baker Annexation. Ordinance No. 92-86,

ll.a.1. Mr. Dougherty stated that the list of sign code violators is
very large and he questioned if they did something wrong in the creation
of the ordinance.
The City Attorney advised this subject is scheduled for next
week's workshop meeting.
ll.a.2. Mr. Dougherty stated they received a copy of the County's road
plan and there are seven items which affect the City of Delray Beach.
He feels that this should be on the next workshop meeting for considera-
tion.
ll.a.3. Mr. Dougherty stated that Chapter 19 of the Code requires an
annual report from the Planning and Zoning Board. He questioned when
the City Manager will be receiving that report.
The City Manager advised he is not sure; however, he will check
with the Chairman of the board.
ll.a.4. Mr. Dougherty stated that the Legislative Delegation will be
meeting on the 29th in the City of Delray. He understands there may be
some conflict with that date and questioned if they will be giving them
a new date.
Mr. Dougherty stated that he feels they should invite the
public to the next workshop to comment on items which may be apropos to
present to the Delegation.
ll.a.5. Mrs. Horenburger stated they still have some vacancies on the
Code Enforcement Board and a few other boards and she feels they need to
workshop this again. She would also like to discuss the occupational
criteria and structure of the Code Enforcement Board.
Mr. Bird left the Commission Chambers at this time.
ll.a.6. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that they need to have a representative
from the City appointed to the Planning Council.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved that Mayor Campbell serve as a represen-
tative from the City on the Planning Council, seconded by Mrs.
-5- 1/13/87
Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.

replace Mayor Campbell on the Metropolitan Planning Council, seconded by
Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
ll.a.7. Mr. Weatherspoon questioned if it would be appropriate to have
staff look at the entire Lehman parcel as potentially being zoned
general commercial.
It was the consensus of the Commission to pass this request on
to the Planning and Zoning Board for immediate response.
ll.b.1. The City Attorney stated that St. Mary's the Virgin Church is
the contract purchaser of a parcel of property which the City owns on
the corner of Homewood Boulevard and West Atlantic Avenue. The City had
entered into a contract with them in 1985 and the closing date was
scheduled for January 23, 1987. However, the Church has been sued by
the FIEE Corporation who attempted to submit a bid on the property and
they are now in litigation. Based on that concern, the attorneys for
the church have requested that the City grant a one year extension
before they are required to close on the property, or at such time as
the litigation is resolved, whichever occurs first.
It was the consensus of the Commission to place this item on
the Special Agenda next Tuesday night.
ll.c.1. The City Manager updated the Commission on some of the projects
currently under way in the City: (1) Barwick Park - the irrigation
program has begun and they are looking at a completion date of February
3rd. They are also looking at a response from the State by February
28th regarding the grant for Barwick Park. The heart trail equipment is
due in by January 15th; (2) they have a draft completed regarding a
mausoleum and it is scheduled for completion and review by the Funeral
Directors Association by the end of this week; (3) the northwest drain-
age project is expected to be completed by May 25th; (4) the Carver Park
project contract has been awarded and is scheduled to be completed by
May 4th; (5) they are receiving proposals for an Employee Assistance
Program and are scheduled to start March lst; (6) they are also expect-
ing to start a Drug Testing and Screening program by March lst; (7) they
have hired two persons for the Code Enforcement department, leaving one
position open, an inspector for the Community Development department to
work with the Code Enforcement department, a building inspector who will
also be a plan reviewer and a landscape inspector; (8) the 1987 Legisla-
tive agenda has been prepared by Ms. Daley and the Commission should
feel free to add anything to it.
11.c.2. The City Manager stated there are questions being raised by two
committees regarding what direction the Commission wishes them to take;
the Beautification Trust Committee and the Beautification Committee. He
feels that the Commission should workshop this item to determine whether
or not there is a need for a continuation of the Beautification Commit-
tee.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that the Beautification Committee was
formed many years ago by citizens who were interested in beautification.
She feels that if they are going to workshop this they should ask those
members to talk to each other to determine what they would like to be
doing and possibly come up with some new ideas and projects.
Mayor Campbell stated it may be appropriate, before it is
placed on a workshop agenda, that the Beautification Committee meet and
have their own members discuss this.
-6- 1/13/87
ll.d.1. Theodis Brown, 616 Lake Ida Road, stated he would like to get a
group of business people from Atlantic Avenue to meet and discuss the
problems of beautification. He asked if Mr. Weatherspoon would have
time to be present at such a meeting. Mr. Weatherspoon advised he will
meet with Mr. Brown to discuss this.

REGULAR AGENDA
27. Marina Delray. The Commission is to consider stipulation
concerning Marina Delray to be operated as a private club.
The City Attorney advised the City is currently involved in
litigation with Booi Service, Inc., the current record title owner of
the subject property. He was approached in the fall of 1986 by a group
of persons, represented by Roger Saberson, who are prospective purchas-
ers of the property; however, the purchase is pending because of the
litigation by Southeast Bank, the first mortgage holder, who is fore-
closing on the property. As a methodology to resolve the City's litiga-
tion, the group submitted a stipulation to his office. They have
discussed this and it is now before the Commission for their considera-
tion. It is basically a conditional stipulation, i.e., it is one which
would be entered into by the parties who are prospective purchasers of
the property. If they did not become purchasers the stipulation would
fail. The stipulation is based upon the use of the subject property; it
has, in the past, been zoned RM-15 and its use was that of a hotel,
restaurant and bar, non-conforming use. The City's position in the
lawsuit has been, and continues to be, that that use as a non-conforming
use lapsed during the years 1982 and 1983 as it was not kept in continu-
ous operation for a period in excess of 180 calendar days. They are
still in the early stage of the lawsuit and he expects that, if the
stipulation is not agreed to this evening, it would need to be geared
up. Both sides, in the past few months, have held off on incurring any
additional expense in preparation for the case. The stipulation would
be to resolve the lawsuit, assuming they purchase the property, by the
City concurring that the non-conforming use of the public facility be
constricted to a non-conforming use as a private club.
Upon question by Mrs. Horenburger, the City Attorney advised
that the theory under non-conforming uses is that, ultimately, you would
like the entire use to go away. However, there are a series of progres-
sions which you would go through, one of which is structural, i.e., you
would not allow repairs to take place if they exceed more that 10% of
the replacement cost. Secondly, in the progression towards eliminating
a non-conforming use, you would attempt to do those things which would
make that which is non-conforming, less non-conforming. In this partic-
ular instance, by the reduction of the public access facility, to a
lesser access facility, he feels that you have established that this
non-conforming use has become less non-conforming.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Attorney stated that
when the Commission discussed and authorized the institution of the
lawsuit a question was raised by the groups of attorneys who attended
that meeting which indicated that if the City sought to close the Marina
Delray immediately they would be forced to raise an issue of business
damages. The Commission instructed his office to permit them to remain
open pending the resolution of the lawsuit. Subsequently, the restau-
rant and bar portion of the facility was cited by the Palm Beach County
Health Department and they had to close in order to correct the viola-
tions. It was at this time that the prospective purchasers came before
the Commission as they did not want to expend the monies necessary to
make those repairs and thus reopen to not have another 180 day period
run on them if they did not need to. It was agreed that the restaurant
and bar would remain closed, they would not have to effect the repairs
and the City would not consider the 180 day period to commence running
until such time as they presented the stipulation which is before the
Commission tonight.
-9- 1/13/87
Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon, the City Attorney stated
that if the Commission does not approve the stipulation tonight the
owners of the Marina Delray would have the right to open their doors as
a public club tomorrow, until the case is litigated.
Discussion was had regarding the parking, docking, membership
fees, how many members and number of rooms in the hotel.
Roger Saberson, representing the prospective purchasers, stated
that they are before the Commission tonight, not so much to say approve
or reject the stipulation, but to say that this is the first draft which
has been worked out with the City's staff. This is the first draft of
the details and part of the reason they are here tonight is to get
feedback from the Commission and the public. If there are changes that
need to be made, they will be willing to make them as they want to
accommodate any kind of request they can to make the stipulation more
livable and workable for the City.
Mr. Dougherty stated that he feels the plans should be sent to
the Planning and Zoning Board and the Engineering Department for review
before the Commission agrees to the stipulation. If he understands that
this is merely a draft, he can accept it; however, if it is being
submitted as the document which they approve or disapprove, he cannot
accept it.
Mrs. Horenburger stated they have talked about the membership
fee, how many members and the valet parking. She questioned how they
are going to enforce this stipulation as it is not enforceable through
normal City procedures. She feels that the stipulation sets up a tough
enforcement problem and unless some other mechanism is found, she would
not approve it. She would not like to see the City have to go to court
to enforce any portion of it.
It was the consensus of the Commission that they are not ready
to approve the stipulation.
Mr. Saberson stated he will talk individually with the Commis-
sion members and the community to get their comments.
Chris Carlson, court appointed receiver for the property,
stated he has waited for the prospective purchasers to put their propos-
al together; however, he cannot wait any longer and keep the property in
a non-operational stage. He is going to open the restaurant so that the
non-conforming use will not go away and he has to generate revenue.
Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, stated that the Commis-
sion has stated that they do not have a consensus to agree to this
stipulation tonight, and she questioned if there will be other nights
when there will be other stipulations.
Mayor Campbell stated he does not believe the operation of the
facility, as anticipated and outlined in this stipulation, is accept-
able. There would have to be some additional conditions addressing the
community needs.
Mayor Campbell declared a recess the time being 10:00 P.M. The
meeting was reconvened at 10:05 P.M.
Mr. Bird returned to the Commission Chambers at this time.
28. Georgia Town Tavern. The Commission is to consider settlement
of City of Delray Beach vs. Gulfbrook, Inc. (Georgia Town Tavern) case.
The City Attorney stated that before they go through two
hearings on Thursday, he thought he would bring this revised stipulation
before the Commission. He spoke with Mr. Thomas last week and he
indicated that they would be willing to sell the real property and
structures only; it would not have to include the liquor license. They
are asking $65,000 for the property and Mr. Thomas would agree not to
utilize his liquor license in the City of Delray Beach, nor sell it to
someone who would use it in the City.
-10- 1/13/87
Mrs. Horenburger stated she would be in favor of negotiating at
this price and purchasing the property.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he feels every person should have a
place to go where they feel comfortable and he is not in favor of the
City spending any money on this property.
Mr. Dougherty stated he has a problem with the City purchasing
the tavern. He is generally in favor of getting rid of it; however, he
feels the Community Redevelopment Agency should purchase it.
Mr. Bird stated that it is not the Georgia Town Tavern.which is
the problem, it is the people who go there. The City could purchase the
property; however, the people who went there will go somewhere else. He
asked the City Attorney how they are doing with drafting some legisla-
tion which the Commission can enact which will help the Police Depart-
ment control the problem they are addressing.
The City Attorney advised he has, in the works, an ordinance
dealing with the consumption on premises problem which they have at the
Georgia Town Tavern.
It was the consensus of the majority of the Commission not to
accept the stipulation.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Commission Chambers at this time.
29. Conditional Use and Site Plan Approval Extension - Delra¥ Beach
Motors Addition (AMC Jeep/Renault). The Commission is to consider a
request for a 30 day extension of the conditional use and site plan
approval. The property is located on the west side of S.E. 5th Avenue,
between S.E. 6th Street and S.E. 7th Street. The current approval for
this project expired on December 26, 1986. The Planning and Zoning
Board and Acting Planning Director recommend a 30 day conditional use
and site plan extension to February 13, 1987, effective upon approval by
the Commission.
Mr. Bird moved to approve a 30 day extension for Delray Beach
Motors Addition (AMC Jeep/Renault), seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned if 30 days is enough as he would
not like to see it come back requesting another 30 days.
The City Attorney advised that the extension should actually be
for 35 days as it is running retroactively from December 26, 1986
through February 13, 1987.
Mr. Bird suggested that they make it from December 26, 1986,
through February 24, 1987, which will make it expire on a Commission
meeting night and they can take whatever action they have to at that
point.
Mr. Bird amended his motion to approve a 30 day extension to
February 24, 1987, Mr. Weatherspoon amended his second. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
4 to 0 vote.
30. Conditional Use and Site Plan Approval - Grace Fellowship
Church. The Commission is to consider a request for conditional use and
site plan approval for Grace Fellowship Church, a proposed 110 seat
sanctuary to occupy the vacant south end of the existing Midtown Plaza
(formerly Western Auto), located on the east side of N.E. 2nd Avenue,
between N.E. 2nd Street and N.E. 3rd Street. The Planning and Zoning
Board and Acting Planning Director recommend approval, subject to the
following conditions:
Technical and Code Requirements
1. Provision for handicap parking and accessibility to the build-
ing is required.
-11- 1/13/87
2. Traffic control signs will be required in order to indicate
one-way traffic flow.
3. The location of the sign is non-conforming as a 9 foot setback
is provided from the right-of-way line of N.E. 2nd Street.
4. Drainage is to be addressed (show existing and proposed drain-
age facilities).
Procedural Requirements
5. All signs to be approved by the Building Department and the
Community Appearance Board.
Mr. Bird stated that he is in favor of all people having an
opportunity to exercise their religion and practice it in an appropriate
setting; however, he feels that the conversion of commercial space, in
what is the second most important downtown street, is going to act as a
barrier between aspects of that commercialism.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for conditional use and site plan
approval for the Grace Fellowship Church, seconded by Mr. Dougherty.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote.
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
32. Administrative Relief - 715 N.E. 8th Street. The Commission is
to consider administrative relief for back out parking into alley for
Drs. Tom and Joy Rohrer. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to grant administrative relief for 715
N.E. 8th Street to allow back out parking into an alley, seconded by Mr.
Bird. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes;
Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes;
Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Bird stated he would like to see the Commission ask the
Planning and Zoning Board to readdress back out parking on a somewhat
broader scale. In the RO district, and a number bf other places in
town, the only practical way to handle traffic is to back out into
alleys. It should not be a requirement for all those persons to go
through administrative relief.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
33. Administrative Relief - 701 N.E. 8th Street. The Commission is
to consider administrative relief for back out parking for Ms. Phyllis
Small. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Bird moved to grant administrative relief for 701 N.E. 8th
Street to allow back out parking, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty

Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
34. Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council Policy Plan. The
Commission is to consider approval of City comments on the Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council Policy Plan. The Plan is required by
State Growth Management Act. Local plans are required to be consistent
with Regional Plan. The Planning and Zoning Board recommends adoption
of comments, submission of comments to State and Regional Council.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the City's comments on the Treasure
Coast Regional Planning Council Policy Plan, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon.
Mrs. Horenburger stated in reading the comments briefly she saw
what she considers to be some possible misunderstandings to what the
policy was saying with regard to the recommendations of the Planning
-12- 1/1~/87
Department and Planning and Zoning Board. She requested that the Acting
Planning Director review these comments before they approve them and
that they place this item on the Special Agenda on January 20th.
Mr. Bird made a substitute motion to remove this item and place
it on the Special Agenda on January 20, 1987, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird
- Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
35. Revised Proposed Intergovernmental Agreement for Traffic
Signals between the City and Palm Beach County. The Commission is to
consider authorizing execution of Intergovernmental Agreement between
the City and Palm Beach County providing certain traffic engineering
services for the City by Palm Beach County.
Mr. Bird moved to authorize execution of an Intergovernmental
Agreement, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger
- Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call, Mrs. Horenburger stated that if the County is
going to be in charge of the traffic signal functioning they should
request that the County better coordinate the signals at 1st and 1st, on
Federal Highway.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
36. Appointment - Downtown Development Authority. The Commission
is to consider the appointment of Tom Smith as a member of the DDA to
the unexpired term of Fred Devitt ending July 1, 1988.

the unexpired term of Fred Devitt ending July 1, 1988, seconded by Mrs.
Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird -
Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
37. Extension of Time - Public Safety Facility. The Commission is
to consider a request for an extension of time for completion of con-
tract which expires on January 26, 1987.
Mark Marsh, Digby Bridges, Marsh & Associates, stated that
their electrical subcontractor, Servotech, got into financial problems
about two thirds of the way through the project. They are now back on
track and, fortunately, the field crew did not stop work. They are
requesting an extension of four weeks; however, there is the possibility
of another four week extension based on the problems with Servotech.
The City Attorney clarified that they are requesting an exten-
sion of the contract completion date for four weeks; however, it may
take them eight weeks before the project is actually completed. The
City would then seek liquidated damages against the contractor, who in
turn, would seek it against the bonding company of his subcontractor who
caused that additional four week delay.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the four week extension,
seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
The City Attorney advised it will have the effect of requiring
them to extend their maintenance bond for a full year following the
extension date.

received a note tonight that they had no problems with the revised

representatives, that even though they would prefer that it not be in
the ordinance, they can live with it in its current language form.
40. Selection of Underwriter for Utility Tax Bond Issue. The
Commission is to consider selection of underwriter for the $10.5 million
Utility Tax Bond Issue.
William R. Hough & Company/Merrill, Lynch Capital Markets
Matthews & Wright, Inc.
Prudential-Bache Securities
Arch W. Roberts & Company
Mr. Dougherty questioned why they are going to a negotiated bid
rather than a competitive bid. He feels, that in reviewing proposals
and discussion with staff, that all the conditions for a competitive bid
exist.
Mayor Campbell stated that when this was discussed at the last
meeting there was some difference of opinion; however, the consensus of
the Commission was that it did not make that much of a difference and
there were possibly some additional benefits that could be viewed with
regard to some of the bond covenants. More importantly, it was the
factor in dealing with an individual, or group of individual under-
writers, on a comfort factor basis and being able to negotiate the best
deal.
Mr. Dougherty stated he is disturbed by the fact that the
Finance Director did not prepare an RFP which would delineate all the
conditions he would want to see. This opens the door to preferential
selection. The City has gone with competitive bids before, and he
questioned why, on this issue, should they change.
Mr. Bird stated that they have a $10.5 million dollar issue
which he would prefer to put out for competitive bids in a market at a
time when, hopefully, they will find that they are going to have a
sellers market.
Mr. Huddleston, Finance Director, stated the standard criteria
for deciding between a competitive and negotiated sale, for this partic-
ular issue, would lean towards the competitive bid.
Mr. Bird stated he has a lot of difficulty in coming up with
some criteria by which to judge these four firms and make a valid,
defensible selection. He suggested that they reconsider their decision
made on December 30th to go with negotiated bids and, instead, go with a
competitive bid.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he has no problem going with the
negotiated bids. Mrs. Horenburger concurred with Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mr. Bird moved to select William R. Hough & Company/Lynch
Capital Markets as the City's underwriter, seconded by Mr. Dougherty.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor
Campbell - No. Said motion FAILED by a 3 to 2 vote.
Mr. Dougherty moved to select Arch W. Roberts & Company as the
City's underwriter, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger
- No; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - No. Said motion FAILED by
a 3 to 2 vote.
-15- 1/13/87
Mrs. Horenburger moved to select Prudential-Bache Securities
and Matthews & Wright, Inc., as the City's underwriter, seconded by Mr.
