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:
Upon question by Mrs. Horenburger, the City Attorney advised
that they did remove the prohibited uses and tightened up the permitted
uses. They reworded the ordinance so that the uses are listed listed as
permitted uses with some exceptions, rather than a section on prohibited
uses. There is also an additional section added by the Planning and
-3- 2/10/87
Zoning Department concerning the technical sections on site area and lot
dimensions.
Mr. Dougherty questioned if there is any need to reference that
there be some compliance with the City's pretreatment and industrial
waste ordinance. The City Attorney advised he feels it would supersede
the zoning code and it is not necessary to reference it. Mr. Dougherty
stated they are specifying certain types of installations which will,
obviously, discharge chemical and hazardous waste. He feels they should
include a reference which would make any such use in compliance with the
industrial waste ordinance. The City Attorney stated it would not do
any harm to put a warning in this ordinance; however, if they do that,
he feels they should put one in all the zoning districts. He suggested
that staff should be directed to go back and, in the appropriate dis-
tricts, include it as a warning that they should be aware of.
Mr. Bird suggested that they approve this ordinance, as draft-
ed, and make a separate motion to direct staff to make the appropriate
changes. He advised that he will bring this up during his non-agenda
items.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
10. Ordinance No. 7-87 - Amending Zoning Code - Theater Produc-
tions. Ordinance No. 7-87, amending Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the Code of

Reading, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call the Commission voted

PROCEDURAL ITEMS
13. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of December 16, 1986, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoono 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.
14.a.1. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that he attended the State Pre-
Legislative conference in Tallahassee. He feels there were some impor-
tant policies which the Committees came up with and looks forward to
attending another one.
14.a.2. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that the Commission received a memo
regarding the paving of N.W. 15th Avenue. It is his understanding that
when staff paved the street they found there was a problem with the
right-of-way and they looked at the possibility of using the alley to
extend it on through. He feels that staff should look into whatever it
takes to complete that project.
-5- 2/10/87
14.a.3. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he would like staff to look at the
appropriate ordinance which addresses zero lot lines on inside lots to
see if it would be applicable for outside lots. If it is appropriate,
they could pass this on to the Planning and Zoning Board.
14.a.4. Mr. Weatherspoon stated they passed an ordinance several months
ago regarding properties which abut rights-of-way and the property owner
had to maintain that property. This was brought to his attention, and
after reading the ordinance more thoroughly, he found that it also takes
into consideration property in alleyways. He feels they need to read-
dress this to see if this is what they really intended, or whether they
want the City's personnel to maintain them.
14oa.5. Mrs. Horenburger stated she has heard from some people who have
concerns about rezonings and land use plan changes in the County pockets
which were included in the Enclave Act. She would like the Commission
to entertain the possibility of them asking the County Commission,
sitting as the zoning board, to hold off on any zoning or land use plan
changes in any of those pockets until the Enclave Act issue is settled.
Mayor Campbell stated he would like to go one step further and
ask that the County not do anything with regard to a pocket that may be
potentially annexed into the City.
Mr. Dougherty stated he talked to the City Attorney about this
matter and he believes there is, in process, the preparation of an
ordinance. The City Attorney advised there is a resolution being
prepared.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that the next meeting the County is
having is on February 23rd. It was the consensus of the Commission to
have the resolution on a Special Meeting agenda, preceding the workshop
meeting.
14.a.6. Mrs. Horenburger stated she is aware that they received a memo
regarding the bypass area and that the County is working on the traffic
signals. However, the turn signals at the intersection of Swinton
Avenue and N.W. 1st Street appear to be malfunctioning. She requested
that they get in touch with the County again and get it straightened
out.
14.a.7. Mrs. Horenburger stated she was also going to bring up the
subject of the alleyways and feels that they do need to revisit it.
14.a.8. Mr. Bird moved that they ask staff to amend all of the ordi-
nances in the districts where one might logically expect industrial
waste to be created and amend those to show, somewhere, a reference to
the industrial waste ordinance so that people anticipating going into
those zoning districts would be forewarned of its existence, seconded by
Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weather-
spoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0
vote.
14.a.9. Mr. Bird stated that he would like to go back and revisit
Ordinance No. 8-86 which was relative to live-aboard vessels and identi-
fied the areas, RM-10 and RM-15, where they may have boats which they
reside upon.
Mayor Campbell suggested they place this on next week's work-
shop agenda.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Commission Chambers at this time.
14.a.10. Mr. Bird stated he has in front of him a copy of an ordinance
from Tampa, authorized by Florida Statutes 166, which establishes storm
water drainage fees. It would permit them to abate the storm water
utility problems. He will be sending this on to the City Attorney and
City Manager. He requested that they send it out in this week's package
and schedule it for the workshop meeting in two weeks.
-6- 2/10/87
14.a.ll. Mr. Dougherty stated that in December a question was raised
about the beautification of Atlantic Avenue from the Intracoastal
Waterway to 1-95. He questioned if anyone has made contact with DOT
with respect to this.
The City Attorney stated they have received nothing new from
DOT. His recollection of the discussion was that, before they pursued
it further on a staff level, they hoped the Commission would have called
upon people in Tallahasseeo The problem was with the designation of who
had responsibility, including liability language. In order for the City
to do beautification, or maintenance, on DOT rights-of-way, including
the median strips, we are required to obtain a permit to do so; it is
the language of that permit which they have a problem with.
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time. Mr. Bird left the Commission Chambers at this time.
Mr. Dougherty stated if that issue is going to be an impediment
to the beautification project then he feels some direct contact should
be made. The City Attorney advised they will try again, at staff level.
The City Manager stated he feels it is going to take the Mayor getting
involved in this project to help move it along.
14.a.12. Mr. Dougherty stated he noticed they are beginning to work on
the office building project on Atlantic Avenue, close to Homewood
Boulevard. He questioned if they are going to require that they put in
a sidewalk in front of that property.
Mayor Campbell stated if they have not approved the site plan,
they can make it part of the site plan approval. He requested that the
City Manager make Stan Weedon, Acting Director of Planning, aware of the
Commission's comments and Mr. Dougherty's concern so that he can tell
the developer, up front, what might be expected.
14.a.13. Mr. Dougherty questioned the status of the contracts for the
beautification project; they approved the proposals from two firms and
he has yet to see the contracts.
The City Attorney advised that the contract with Sasaki &
Associates is in its final stage. They have a problem with the other
contract because the architect could not meet the bid specs for the
professional liability insurance. The architect is working on this and
when the issue of the insurance is resolved it will resolve the contract
problem. Hopefully, it will be ready to go by the next workshop meet-
ing.
14.a.14. Mr. Dougherty stated he would like the Commission to consider
the possibility of authorizing the inclusion of an architect/engineer
service in the Utility Tax Bond issue for the purpose of initiating the
preliminary study for the use of the Elementary School property. He
understands that if they went ahead and authorized $45,000 to $50,000
for the preliminary work that it may be a reimbursable expense. He
feels they should amend the ordinance they passed in December to in-
clude, in the Utility Tax Bond issue, this expense for the School Board
property study.
Mayor Campbell suggested that they have the City Manager give
them an estimate on what the dollar figure would be and come back to the
Commission so they can have a cost approval. He presumes that what Mr.
Dougherty is talking about is an engineering study to determine the
soundness of the buildings, what condition they are in and the long term
use.
Mr. Dougherty stated that is part of it; however, no one seems
to know what they want to do with that property. He feels the con-
ceptual design needs to be defined.
Mayor Campbell stated they have already determined that the old
school would be primarily utilized by the Historical Society as a museum
and for some offices. With regard to the new building, the 1926 build-
ing and gymnasium, they do not have a conceptual plan at all. It was
thought that Frances Bourque and the Historical Society Committee,
-7- 2/10/87
meeting with the City Manager, were to come back to the Commission with
a concept on what would be most appropriate for the second phase. They
hope, and he believes it is their preference, that it should be utilized
as a cultural, civic affairs center.
Mrs. Horenburger stated there has been some discussion of the
possibility of the newer building becoming a cultural arts center. She
met with Mr. Wilray, Director of the Palm Beach County Council of the
Arts, and one of his board members; they looked at the school and they
were very excited about that possibility. They also talked about the
possibility of going to some of their sources for private funding to
support this kind of center. She feels that they need to begin to look
at the possible funding sources and one suggestion was a three way
partnership between the School Board, the County and the City of Delray.
She concurs with Mr. Dougherty that it is time they went ahead and hired
an architect and really looked at this building.
Mayor Campbell stated if they are going to be reimbursed it may
be easier to get an idea of the amount and use Contingency Fund monies.
He requested that the City Manager draft a proposal, in line with the
discussion tonight, and bring it to the next regular meeting for a vote.
Also, get some preliminary ideas of cost estimates and what the archi-
tect/engineer would be able to provide to the City.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated they have heard they are going to get
the school, but do they know when. The City Attorney advised the School
Board has just acquired the property to erect the new school. Given
that, they have yet to start construction, and they would not want to
start students in the new school until the beginning of the school year.
He cannot see the City getting the Elementary School until August of
1988 or 1989.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated they have not sat down as a body and
discussed this issue. He suggested that they place this on a workshop
agenda and invite Frances Bourque and her committee to come to the
meeting. Following discussion it was the consensus of the Commission to
have discussion on this issue at the March 3rd workshop meeting.
14.a.15. Mayor Campbell stated that he understands the City Manager is
having discussions regarding a City-wide trash pickup and he will be
coming back to the Commission with a report to possibly alter the
methods to deal with trash pile-ups.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Manager advised that
he is waiting for some new figures from Waste Management and he will try
to have them for next Tuesday night.
14.a.16. Mayor Campbell stated that the Commission does have some
unfinished business from the fall dealing with trash on West Atlantic
Avenue. He would like them to all rethink the issue and how they are
going to deal with this problem. They could possibly discuss this in
conjunction with the trash pickup program.
14.b.1. The City Attorney advised, with regard to the N.W. 5th Avenue
property, that they have resumed negotiations with the new owner of the
property and he has indicated a willingness to sell for approximately
the same price as they had originally negotiated with Mr. Barnes.
Hopefully, he will have an affirmative report by the next meeting.
14.b.2. The City Attorney advised, with regard to the Georgia Town
Tavern, that they have received a new settlement offer from Mr. Thomas.
Specifically, he has agreed to enter into the stipulation which had
originally been proposed; i.e., that he would restrict and sell his
liquor license elsewhere and not utilize it again in the City and,
further, that he would sell the building and property, not contents, for
$50,000. Whether or not the Commission wishes to discuss it this
evening, there is a possibility that he may be able to structure the
finances of the offer slightly differently and perhaps lower the price.
This is still being worked on by his office and others, and it may be
premature for them to consider it this evening. He is hoping to have a
more formalized offer for the Commission by the next regular meeting.
-8- 2/10/87
Mayor Campbell stated if something should develop within the
next few days they could put this on as a special item next Tuesday,
prior to the workshop meeting.
It was the consensus of the majority of the Commission that
they are agreeable to further negotiate.
Mr. Bird returned to the Commission Chambers at this time.
14.c.1. The City Manager stated the Commission has received a number of
letters from the Woodlake Homeowners' Association relative to the street
lighting. The City will be increasing the intensity of the lighting in
the area and have had the area engineered by FP&L. However, it will be
April before FP&L will be able to do the work.
14.c.2. The City Manager advised that the Carver Park improvements
should be completed fairly soon and they are hoping to have a grand
opening ceremony in May.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that Carver Park and Block 48 need
additional parking and he feels they should look at this in the future.
14.c.3. The City Manager advised that the northwest drainage project is
90% complete and should be completed by May 23rd.
14.c.4. The City Manager advised, with regard to Barwick Park, that the
heart trail has been installed courtesy of Delray Community and Pine
Crest.
14.c.5. The City Manager advised that there will be beach gazebos
placed on the beach starting on February 16th and this project will take
approximately 60 days.
14.c.6. The City Manager advised that the lights on Atlantic Avenue
from Homewood Boulevard to Military Trail have been put in place and are
lighted; it takes approximately 30 days to have them completely burned
in. Citizens have been concerned about the completion of the traffic
signal at Lowson and Congress. This is a County project and they are
scheduling a completion date of March 15th. As of tonight they were
burning in the new light on Atlantic Avenue at Hamlet. Hopefully, that
will be burned in and operable by March 15th also.
14.c.7. The City Manager stated that some time ago they discussed the
possibility of a mausoleum at the cemetery. They sent out eight request
for proposals, after working in conjunction with the Funeral Directors'
Association, and received no replies. The Parks Department is going to
continue researching this and may try to do individual negotiations.
14.d.1. Theodis Brown, 616 Lake Ida Road, stated he has been thinking
about the child medical center out west and feels that they should have
more room. He also feels they should have some kind of dental care for
children under a certain age.
14.d.2. Mr. Brown stated that he feels they should enlarge the basket-
ball court on the south side of the City.
Mayor Campbell stated he will mention that to Mr. Weldon,
Director of Parks and Recreation.
14.d.3. Gertrude Carter, N.W. 15th Avenue, stated that since the City
does not have the right-of-way to complete N.W. 15th Avenue she would
like to see it dead-end at the south side of her property and the alley
paved.
Mr. Bird left the Commission Chambers at this time.
14.d.4. Gertrude Green, 3752 Lake Ida Road, asked for a clarification
on the Commission's action with regard to Item 7, Ordinance No. 4-87.
Assistant City Attorney Kurtz advised that if the City has not
foreclosed upon the lien within five years it will expire.

REGULAR AGENDA
17. Acceptance of Easement Deed - The Extra Closet. The Commission
is to consider a request for the acceptance of an easement deed for The
Extra Closet, located on the east side of Military Trail, just north of
the New Post Office. A water service agreement was approved for this
property by the City Commission on July 1, 1986. Approval is recommend-
ed.
Mr. Dougherty stated that part of the original agreement was
that the whole piece of property would be fenced in. They have now
started construction and it is his understanding that they are only
going to build about a third of the building with no intent to build the
entire wall. He would like to call this to staff's attention that they
want the wall in place.
Mayor Campbell stated that if that was part of the understand-
ing when they entered into a water service agreement, and they are in
violation of it, they should ask staff to look into this and report
back. They can still go ahead and accept the easement deed.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to accept the easement deed for The
Extra Closet, and ask staff to look into the problem of the wall,
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.
27. Site Plan Approval - Delray Park of Commerce (Tract M). The
Commission is to consider a request for site plan approval for Delray
Park of Commerce (Tract M), a proposed office development, located at
the northeast corner of Congress Avenue and Lake Ida Road. The Planning
and Zoning Board and Acting Planning Director recommend approval,
subject to the following conditions:
Technical and Code Requirements
-11- 2/10/87
1. Per Section 30-18 administrative relief is required in order to
allow compact car parking space. Appropriate signage is
required for compact car stalls per Section 30-18(C) (3) (e).
2. Maximum compact car spaces allowed is 30% of the total parking
requirement. Forty-seven percent of the parking spaces in
Phase 2 are compact whereas 18% in Phase 1 are compact. Each
phase should stand on its own; therefore, compact parking must
be appropriately distributed. Administrative relief is re-
quired from the Planning and Zoning Board and City Commission.
3. Phase line on landscape plan is not consistent with phase line
on proposed site plan.
4. Utility easements conflict with required landscape buffers on
north, south and east perimeters of Tract M.
5. Crape Myrtle do not meet minimum specifications required of 12
feet in height with 6 foot spread. Additionally applicant may
want to consider changing some of the 32 proposed Crapes to
some type of shade tree as the Crapes are deciduous and totally
leafless from February until May.
6. Recommend additional foundation plantings for the west side of
the building.
7. There are four landscape islands in phase I that do not have
any trees in them.
8. Show existing and proposed drainage.
Procedural Requirements

ment and the Community Appearance Board.
10. Approval of the L.W.D.D. is required in order to allow paving
to encroach into the drainage retention easement.
11. All improvements shall be completed in accordance with the
approved site plan.

City Commission's approval.
14. Provide a fire hydrant in front of Phase II building in the
landscape island, near center, maximum 500 feet facing road
travel between hydrants, including access road.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for site plan approval for Delray Park
of Commerce (Tract M), 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.
Mr. Bird returned to the Commission Chambers at this time.
29. Delray Beach Sports Advisory Committee. The Commission is to
consider formation of Committee, commencing February 10, 1987, for a
period of one month, to advise on sports matters. Members suggested are
Robert Miller and Robert Federspeil. Approval is recommended.
Mayor Campbell stated it was the intent to set up an advisory
committee immediately and that each Commissioner shall recommend three
members.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to set up the Delray Beach Sports
Advisory Committee, commencing February 10, 1987, for a period of one
month, to advise on sports matters, 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.
Mayor Campbell left the Commission Chambers at this time and
Vice-Mayor Weatherspoon took the chair.
-12- 2/10/87
30. Policy Consideration for Cost Sanitary Sewer Service Exten-
sions. The Commission is to consider potential for cost recovery of a
portion of the usual construction costs for sanitary sewer installa-
tions. Approval is recommended.
Robert Pontek, Director of Public Utilities, stated that
several weeks ago they discussed the option of providing some type of
policy and direction to staff for the cost sharing for sanitary sewer
service extensions. They generated a figure of $1,700 which was some-
what of a mid range between wet and dry construction. The policy was
aimed at allowing a fair amount of flexibility for the Commission to
establish small areas which would be provided sanitary sewer service and
a means by which to recover some of the construction cost for those
particular areas.
Mr. Dougherty stated it is his understanding that they were
going to limit the charge to $17 a quarter or $1,700 per hundred foot.
This would be a front foot assessment but the assessment would not
exceed $1,700 per hundred foot. If someone had a piece of property
which was 300 feet long he would only be paying $1,700 but it would be
costing the City substantially less and yet that piece of property could
later be subdivided into two or three lots. He feels that this proposal
does not quite fit what his understanding was.
Mr. Pontek stated perhaps he misconstrued the intent as he
thought that if, for example, a person had a 60 foot or 100 foot front-
age he would still be a benefitted user; therefore, should the person
with a 100 foot lot and the same size home as the person with a 60 foot
lot pay a differential.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels it is fair to use the front foot
assessment and then a person with only a 50 or 60 foot lot will pay his
appropriate share.
Mrs. Horenburger left the meeting at this time.
Mr. Bird stated that he feels an average benefitted user fee
probably, in the long run, is in the best interests. If they use a
straight front footage then, obviously, everyone with lots over 100 feet
will be substantially benefitted. He is not sure that they can make an
assessment based on front footage and say that that is as equitable as
it can be.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
Mayor Campbell questioned if they have made any distinction
between commercial or residential users.
Mr. Bird clarified that Mr. Dougherty's point was that he would
still cap it at $1,700 and his point was that he agreed with Mr. Pontek
that the minimum would be per benefitted user.
Discussion followed on how they arrived at the figure of
$1,700.
Mayor Campbell stated they have already discussed this at a
workshop meeting and went with the recommended figure of $1,700. Mr.
Bird stated that Mr. Dougherty seems to have a problem with the proposal
before them. Mayor Campbell stated he thought that the proposal before
them is also what they decided upon at the workshop meeting.
Mayor Campbell stated that it appears they are not clear on the
issue and they will pass over this item tonight.
31. Water Service Agreement - Highland Trailer Park. The Commis-
sion is to consider a request for extension of water service agreement
for 30 days for Highland Trailer Park.
Mr. Bird moved to extend the water service agreement to March
10th, as it would conform with one of their regular meetings, in case
there is another problem, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call the
-13- 2/10/87
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.
Before roll call, upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon, the City
Attorney stated that they are getting closer to getting all the neces-
sary information. They submitted all the documents, except the neces-
sary death certificates, to the Assistant City Attorney yesterday and
they are still witnessed incorrectly. He feels that if they are not
done by March 10th, they will not be done.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
32. Appointment - Civil Service Board. The Commission is to
consider the appointment of an alternate member to the Civil Service
Board to a term ending July 1, 1987 and clarification of Virginia Cady's
position and term.
Mr. Bird moved to appoint Virginia Cady to serve for a two year
term to serve as Chairman of the Civil Service Board, incorporating the
reimbursement for expenses as delineated, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mr.
Dougherty - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion failed by a 3 to 1 vote. (Mr. Bird requested that his "yes" vote
be changed to a "No" vote).
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that by doing this he is sure the
argument will be raised that there are other boards which are just as
important. Even though he recognizes the need for the expertise, it is
hard for him to justify this and he has a problem with it.
Mayor Campbell stated that the Civil Service Board is unique in
that the City is usually a party; where there is a potential advosarial
relationship the people who serve on that board are not merely your
advisors, they are the people who could affect the future of the City.
Therefore, you want to make sure they understand, not only their role,
but also that they have an unprejudiced and fair view of the City's
position.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels they are setting a bad precedent
by extending Mrs. Cady's term. He would rather see them make the terms
last for four years and allow the members to serve two terms. Also, he
does not know what the justification is for paying the Civil Service
Board chairman and he cannot vote for this.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
33. Ordinance No. 8-87 - Renewal of Sunbelt-Denntronics Cable, Ltd.
Franchise. Ordinance No. 8-87, relative to franchise renewal for
Sunbelt-Denntronics Cable, Ltd., is before the Commission for considera-
tion on First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing will be held February
24th.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 8-87:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 10, "CABLE TELEVISION
FRANCHISE", OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, BY AMENDING SECTION 10-26, "DURA-
TION AND RENEWAL OF FRANCHISE; APPLICATION AND RENEWAL
FEES", BY REPEALING SUBSECTION (A), AND ENACTING A NEW
SUBSECTION (A) TO RENEW THE FRANCHISE OF GRANTEE II,
SUNBELT DENNTRONICS LTD., THE RENEWAL TO COMMENCE ON JULY
22, 1989 FOR A PERIOD OF FIFTEEN (15) YEARS, ENDING JULY
22, 2004, UNLESS SOONER TERMINATED AS PROVIDED WITHIN
THIS CHAPTER; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE;
PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
-14- 2/10/87
The City Attorney advised that the Commission has been fur-
nished some additional material on the subject. There are some alterna-
tives; the one which was in their agenda package would provide for a
franchise area which is greater than the one which Sunbelt-Denntronics
currently has. An investigation has revealed that they are currently
providing service to a development which is outside of their designated
franchise area. If it is the Commission's desire to extend the fran-
chise to include this area then the ordinance which was in the agenda
package would be the one they should adopt. However, if it is not their
desire to do so, and as an alternative, they could potentially renew
their franchise for the existing franchise area and require that
Sunbelt-Denntronics pursue an application for extension of the fran-
chise, independently and separately from the renewal of the current
franchise geographic area. If it is the Commission's intention not to
renew the franchise, then they would not adopt the ordinance tonight.
By so declaring, it would trigger the provisions of the Cable Act where
they would then have to go through an administrative hearing process
which would deal with the terms and conditions of denying the renewal.
For purposes of clarity, the first option, which includes Hanover
Square, will be called Alternative #1 and the second option will be
called Alternative #2.
Dennis Chambers, General Manager of Sunbelt-Denntronics, stated
they are requesting that the Commission renew their franchise. They are
presently about 250 feet outside their franchise area and only have two
or three customers in that area. This was not done deliberately and
they wish to remedy the situation.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he is not in favor of granting an
expansion of the franchise; however, he would grant a renewal of the
existing franchise. They do not have a penalty in place to handle this
type of thing and he would like to see the Commission put a penalty in
place similar to the County's. The City Attorney advised that there is,
currently, a penalty provision in the franchise which they have to abide
by.
The City Attorney stated, for the record, that he did receive a
copy of correspondence from Leadership Cable dated February 9, 1987,
which they distributed to the Commission this evening.
David Baker, representing Leadership Cable, stated there are
two issues before the Commission this evening; expansion of the fran-
chise and renewal of the franchise. He advised that when Mr. Chambers
originally got his franchise he was serving 650 people and now, three
years later, he is serving 800. He stated that Sunbelt-Denntronics is
in the City because they violated a building code three years ago; they
have also violated the franchise by failing to pay the franchise fees in
a timely fashion and by not submitting a building plan as they should
have. Leadership feels this merits not only the consideration of not
expanding the franchise, but also, postponing any renewal until such
time as they have shown they are willing to abide by the franchise
agreement.
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty as to whether or not it is true
that Sunbelt-Denntronics was given the franchise because they were in
violation of the City's code, the City Attorney advised that that was
the City's position at the time. They erected a satellite dish struc-
ture and provided cable services.
Mayor Campbell stated that he has not had a chance to study the
expansion area and is inclined to go ahead and approve the ordinance
tonight which deals with the existing franchise. He would welcome the
opportunity to look at any extension; however, he is not ready to do
that tonight.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 8-87, Alter-
nate No. 2, on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. 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.

-16- 2/10/87
appropriate. If the Commission concurs he would like to take out

The City Attorney advised that they would then be deleting

Mr. Bird amended his motion as suggested, Mr. Dougherty amended

changes made to the ordinance.
Mr. Bird stated he feels that this is a document which they can
not only live with, but will enforce and ultimately enhance the City.
Mr. Dougherty stated he has a major objection to the appoint-
ment of a three man nominating committee; he sees no reason for this
committee and feels that the Commission has the responsibility and
-17- 2/10/87
wherewithal to make the appointments. He also feels that the members of
the committee should not only be residents of the City, but also regis-
tered voters. Mr. Dougherty commented on several other sections of the
ordinance which he disagrees with.
Mayor Campbell stated he does not feel that the Commission
should sit and go over this ordinance in detail. If it is the consen-
sus, he feels they should put it on a workshop agenda. The Commission
concurred with Mayor Campbell.
Mr. Bird withdrew his motion, Mr. Weatherspoon withdrew his
second.

41. Watermain Installation Adjacent to City Marina. The Commission
is to consider an award of a contract to Southern Pipeline, Inc., for
extension of a 6" line watermain along Marine Way from S.E. 2nd Street
at a cost of $22,725, with funds to come from the 1986/87 Water and

-19- 2/10/87
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to award the contract to Southern
Pipeline, Inc., in the amount of $22,725, with funds to come from the
1986/87 Water and Sewer Fund, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Mr. Dougherty questioned why they did not take bids for this
work. Mr. Pontek stated that this contract was prepared rather quickly
as the marine contractor is already there and they would like to get the
watermain in while the road is torn up. They went to only one contrac-
tor and asked him for a price on the job.
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty as to whether or not they have
any insurance that the price is right, Mr. Pontek stated that this is
the same contractor they have been using for numerous City jobs and it
is a reasonable price. Mr. Dougherty stated he feels that the price is
high. Mr. Pontek stated if the Commission wishes he can go back and
negotiate further.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he understands the urgency of doing
this job. If Mr. Pontek feels that the price is a good one, they should
go ahead and do the job; however, if it is not, they need to go back and
negotiate.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, Mr. Pontek stated that it is a
high price; however, the fact of the timing and that the contractor can
complete the work now, the high price is appropriate.
Mr. Dougherty made a substitute motion that Mr. Pontek go back
and do the contract on a cost plus basis with a maximum price of
$22,000, seconded by Mr. Bird. 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.

Mr. Bird moved to appoint Richard Oldham, Sign Contractor, and

ending January 8, 1989, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. 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.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
-20- 2/10/87
Mr. Dougherty stated that Mr. Marsh is also with the firm of
Digby Bridges and he has some concerns about possible conflict of
interest.
Mr. Bird stated that he does not know a lot of architects
around who are willing to offer their services. He also does not know
how you would meet all the necessary requirements to provide these
specialties except by asking people to come forward and present their
resumes. If a qualified architect comes forward then they should not
turn him down in favor of a layperson.
The City Attorney stated he feels it is unlikely that an
architect would appear before this board. It is generally appeals of
building contractors and it is now the forum which hears appeals of
declarations of unsafe buildings.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 10:20 P.M.
