Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 8-87
on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Mr. Weatherspoon posed a question as to the area covered by the
franchise into which Sunbelt-Denntronics Cable, Ltd. has already expand-
ed. The City Attorney stated that this ordinance did not include the
expansion. Mr. Weatherspoon stated there should be some stipulation to
ensure they retreat from the area into which they have encroached. The
City Attorney advised this should be done separately, not in the renewal
ordinance. They should be cited for a violation of the franchise as
there are penalty provisions in the existing ordinance that could be
utilized. They had requested the Commission expand their franchise in
the renewal process, but the Commission decided at a prior meeting they
did not want to do that. ~
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty whether Leadership Cablevision
was demanding that Sunbelt-Denntronics Cable, Ltd. exit from their
territory, the City Attorney advised that they were.
Mr. Bird suggested the Commission approve the ordinance,
subject to their removal of the cable that is installed in areas not
granted in the franchise agreement, or the sale of same, within ninety
days. The Commission concurred.

PROCEDURAL ITEMS
Mr. Bird left the Commission Chambers at this time.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval of the minutes of the
Regular Meetings of January 13, 1987 and January 27, 1987 and the
Special Meeting of January 20, 1987, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Before roll call Mr. Weatherspoon requested that Item No.
8.(a) (14) of the January 27, 1987, meeting be amended to read, "up-
grading the traffic signals at N.W. 8th Avenue and N.W. 10th Avenue with
push-button devices for pedestrian crosswalks."
Mrs. Horenburger amended her motion as requested. Mr. Weather-
spoon amended his second. 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.
13.a.1. Mr. Dougherty stated he would like to revisit the ordinance
relative to setting up the criteria for establishing the basis for
public nuisance determination. Public comment he has been exposed to,
since the decision to purchase the Georgia Town Tavern, reinforces a
need to set down guidelines for all establishments. Mayor Campbell
requested that Mr. Dougherty update his memo, return it to the Com-
mission, and it will be placed on the next agenda.
13.a.2. Mr. Dougherty raised a question as to the status of the Public
Safety Building, as it is his understanding the completion is near. He
would like to know the moving date, what the plans are for the old
building and if there is any validity in a relocation of the Commission
Offices or the Legal Offices.
The City Manager stated the original occupancy date for the
Public Safety Building was March 26, 1987. There is currently a roofing
problem and the tile is being replaced by order of the building inspect-
or.
Chief Kilgore stated that as of 3:00 P.M. today, the architect
assured him they would be able to move into the building on March 26th.
He also stated that February 26th is the deadline for the extended time
for the contractor and to his knowledge an extension has not been
requested.
-5- 2/24/87
335
The City Manager stated that a discussion between Staff and the
Justice Division of the County revealed they are interested in leasing a
portion of ~he current Police Department facility. There are plans in
the making to establish a new micro-filming program and Staff would like
to relocate the records from City Hall and the maintenance building.
Hopefully, the Community Development Staff and the meter readers could
also be relocated there. He is not recommending moving any of the
larger departments from City Hall at this time for a number of reasons
related to computer wiring, etc., and not knowing how long the City will
be allowed to keep the building. If there are not adequate facilities
for the City Attorney and the police station could be leased to the
County, that would be an offset for renting a facility for our legal
department. He stated that the gentleman from the County indicated they
would have their space-planner inspect the building and they would be
able to use any portion the City did not need.
Mayor Campbell requested this item be placed on a workshop
agenda in three weeks and by that time the City Manager will have a
complete report for the Commission and they will establish a policy at
that time.
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty as to relocation for the City's
Legal Department, the City Attorney stated they have looked at commer-
cial office facilities, a commercial office that exists, a commercial
office that has a shell structure and also the property adjacent to the
elementary school. These proposals should be available in time for the
workshop.
13.a.3. Mr. Dougherty stated he had received a communication in regard
to the next meeting of the Council of Governments. They are soliciting
from the local governments a wish list to be co-funded by the County and
the City. One wish that might be considered would be the reconstruction
of the Germantown Road wood bridge.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that this project was discussed some
time ago, perhaps two years. There were a great many residents from
that area who did not want it improved or widened as they felt it would
draw an increased amount of traffic.
Mayor Campbell suggested a determination be made to see if the
same sentiment exists at this time and, if necessary, it can be put on a
workshop agenda.
Mr. Dougherty stated another wish that might be considered
would be acquiring more beach parking, particularly north of Atlantic
Avenue. There is a vacant parcel of ground near the 600 block which
would seem like an opportune location to consider acquiring.
Mayor Campbell requested the City Manager review the results of
a referendum held several years ago on that particular issue. He felt
one of the items in question was whether the City should use City monies
for acquisition of additional parking. The consensus was to place this
item on the March 3, 1987, workshop agenda.
13.a.4. Mrs. Horenburger stated there is a parcel of land for sale on
North Ocean Boulevard between Thomas Street and Vista Del Mar that is
being used as a parking lot on weekends for the beach, even though there
is a house on it.
13.a.5. Mrs. Horenburger questioned the status of the Child Care
Ordinance. The City Attorney stated the requested material has arrived
from California and it will be on an upcoming workshop.
13.a.6. Mrs. Horenburger questioned if a Planning Director has been
chosen. The City Manager stated it has been narrowed down to six
applicants with final interviews to take place within two to three
weeks. He will have completed his investigation prior to interview, so
within two days after the interviews, a Planning Director will be
chosen.
13.a.7. Mrs. Horenburger questioned if arrangements have been made to
have the medians mowed on Atlantic Avenue west of Homewood Boulevard.
-6- 2/24/87
336
The City Manager stated they were being mowed on a regular monthly
basis.
13.a.$. Mr. Weatherspoon questioned the status of his previous request
to install crossing lights at N.W. Sth Avenue and N.W. 10th Avenue. The
City Manager stated he saw no problem with having this item resolved
within two weeks.
13.a.9. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he had received numerous complaints
from persons making application for employment with the City and receiv-
ing no reply indicating the status of their application. He feels there
should be some policy established to notify applicants of the outcome.
The City Manager suggested that a check-out card of some type could be
utilized rather than a letter, due to the time element, and he will
check into this and try to work something out with Staff.
13.a.10. Mr. Weatherspoon questioned the status of his previous request
concerning the situation of the Variance for the setback violation. The
City Manager stated he has spoken with Stan Weedon and asked him ~o
review the ordinance. His response was that the Planning Department is
recommending against any change to the ordinance due to the rationale
for the determination as to why the outside lots were set up the way
they were. The Planning Department is making further studies and will
have a written report available next Tuesday.
13.a.ll. Mayor Campbell stated he had called the City Manager regarding
repeated overflows of garbage and trash bins in the City and received a
memorandum from him, through Mr. Johnson's Office, with a proposal to
the trash ordinance as follows: If, within a six month period, two
notices of violation are issued for garbage, trash or debris overflowing
the containers then provided, and resulting in the accumulation of such
matters on the ground, the owner of the property shall be required to
provide such additional containers as are necessary to properly handle
the volume of trash or garbage being generated. He asked that each
Commissioner receive a copy of the proposal and it be placed on the
workshop agenda next Tuesday for consideration. Mr. Bird requested that
it also be sent to the Chamber of Commerce, since the areas involved
were mainly commercial areas.
13.a.12. Mayor Campbell stated that when the Beautification Trust
Committee has held their meeting, it will be placed on the agenda at
their request.
13.a.13. Mayor Campbell questioned if the City Manager has had an
opportunity to investigate the possibility of incorporating additional
areas to be included in the beach cleaning process. The City Attorney
stated he is working with the City Manager on research for a special
assessment process with a portion of the cost being assumed by the City.
It will probably not be completed until the second workshop in March.
13.a.14. Upon question by Mayor Campbell as to the problem of blowing
sand on cleared property prior to construction, the City Manager stated
they are reviewing a proposal of a statewide control. Hopefully, Staff,
the Building Department and outside concerned persons, who are currently _
working on it, will be completed with an ordinance or a policy in time
that it can be placed on the workshop agenda for March 17. Mrs. Horen-
burger stated that the County Environmental Office also sets standards.
The City Manager stated that was being blended into the complete propos-
al.
13.a.15. Mayor Campbell stated that he had met with Dr. Eissey, of Palm
Beach Junior College, and 'they are submittin9 & bill to the Legislature
requesting a Special Act be enacted this coming year to allow a referen-
dum in the County as to whether a .5 mill ad valorem tax should be made
for a five year period. The purpose of the Legislation is to provide
for a south campus of Palm Beach Junior College to meet the needs of the
citizens in south Palm Beach County. He would like the proposed bill to
be distributed to the Commission members and allow them an opportunity
to review it. He requested that the City Manager and the City Attorney
prepare a simple resolution to be presented at a Special Meeting to be
held prior to the Workshop Meeting next Tuesday evening. If it is the
wish of the Commission, it can be voted on at that time.
-7- 2/24/87
337
13.b.1. There were no Non-Agenda Items from the City Attorney.
13.c.1. The City Manager distributed a copy of a memo to each Commis-
sioner relative to a proposed Tree Farm located near the South Central
Regional Waste Water Treatment Plant. It is suggested a Tree Farm be
developed in conjunction with Boynton Beach, requiring irrigation,
removal of trace elements and muck to improve the soil. He requested
the Commission review the proposal and recommend if they would like to
pursue this.
13.c.2. The City Manager stated that the N.W. 5th Avenue drainage
project is completed and the infiltration problems that have been
discovered are being remedied. Installation of beach showers has begun,
the trash containers and the benches are complete and will be installed
in conjunction with the completion of the showers.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Commission Chambers at this time.
13.c.3. The City Manager stated an experiment is being conducted %n
conjunction with the trash pickup program. The residential area for the
continuous trash pickup is bounded on the north by the south side of
West Atlantic Avenue, on the south side by S.W. 4th Street, on the west
by both sides of S.W. 12th avenue and on the east by the west side of S.
Swinton Avenue. The projected time period is from March 23 to April 30,
1987. There will be a patrol area adjacent to that and will be moni-
tored by Code Enforcement. This is an advertised area and the public
will be notified. There will also be an unadvertised test area where
the public will not be notified. Each area will be monitored and the
end result should be helpful in reaching a decision. He requested the
Commission authorize them to proceed with this test.
Mr. Bird moved to approve commencement of the proqram for trash
pickup, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission
?oted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; - Mr. Weather-
spoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0
vote. 13.d.1. Elaine Roberts, 312 N. Swinton Avenue, questioned if
anyone attended the Crack Seminar held in Miami, sponsored and hosted
by the Miami Police Department for a three day period. None of the
Commissioners attended but Mayor Campbell stated he would be attending
the County sponsored Criminal Justice Seminar to be held in Miami on
March 19, 1987. Legislators, City Officials and Police Chiefs numbering
approximately 300 persons from Palm Beach County will be in attendance
to discuss the criminal problem.
13.d.2. Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, commented on a newspaper
story on the demise of the one-way pair system. She feels it was
accurately reported as having the County Engineer stating that the
reason it is not working is because there is no traffic on Atlantic
Avenue. The basic problem is the lights being too lengthy. Since this
is a very important program for the City, she feels .they really should
try harder to get the County to reset the lights in order to make the
system work.
13.d.3. Tom Haenlon, 613 N.E. 4th Street, stated he would like to raise
the issue of a City contract for what has been called the Flag Pole
Monument Plan. The terms of the contract stated the work was to
commence within 15 days of notification to proceed. The work was to be
substantially complete within 45 days and fully complete within 60 days.
The site was to be kept clean and barriers erected to keep pedestrians
from the hazardous work area. North of the pavilion on A1A and Atlantic
Avenue a large area of the ground is dug up, the old flagpole is down,
leaving an abomination of an aesthetic view, and it has been in this
condition for one and one-half months.
Mr. Bird left the Commission Chambers at this time.
13.d.4. Alan Knop, 617 Industrial Avenue, Boynton Beach, representing
Mr. D's Towing, stated that he had received a letter from the Delray
Beach Police Department addressed to Mr. Zuccalla, but sent to his place
of business, informing him that on February 2, 1987, at 1:23 P.M. Mr.
D's Towing Service was suspended from the Delray Beach Police Department
Wrecker Rotation List. This was due to a violation issued by the
-8- 2/24/87
338
Building Department for non-compliance with provisions of the zoning
ordinance for a storage lot located at 1945 S. Old Dixie Highway. He
has had a license and has operated at that address for the past 5 years.
The suspension was to be lifted when the Building Department notified
them that he had complied. It stated if he chose a site within the
geographical boundaries as set forth by their guidelines, but outside
the jurisdictional limits of the City, they would inspect it. He
located a parcel that met all the requirements and notified the police.
Now they tell him that they are not reinstating anyone on the rotation
system, but are considering going to contract so the Commissioners have
put the situation on hold. After going through all the process to
comply with the City's requirements, he feels a disservice has been done
to him and to the citizens of the City. An investment has been made
and, until such time that the City does go to contract, they should
allow the original companies who were awarded bids to continue.
Mayor Campbell stated it will be taken under consideration and
next week there will be a workshop when it will be discussed with the
City Manager and the Commission.
13.d.5. Andrew Zuccalla, 633 East Industrial Avenue, stated that he
would like to urge the Commission to complete the towing contract
problem as quickly as possible. He has been under the rotation system
for Delray Beach for ten years and only after the City suspended the
towing service was he made aware that he was in a non-complying area.
Mayor Campbell reiterated the fact that it will be taken under
consideration and there will be a policy decision soon.
13.d.6. Paul Gonnelli, owner of Paul's Towing Service of Boca Raton,
stated he also has the same towing problem and feels the rights of the
towing companies have been violated. The current property he is using
has been used for the past nine years by other companies, and the City
has never had a license on that property. He stated he knew of no
other City where you can be cited for a code violation and immediately
you are out of business. He has spoken with the Code Enforcement
Division and they have no answers for him. The City has no company that
can handle a heavy duty accident at this time, with certified drivers.
Mayor Campbell suggested Mr. Gonnelli call on Friday to find
where it is placed on the agenda for the workshop on March 3, 1987.
13.d.7. Madeline Pulitano, stated she had an urgent plea for the
Commissioners. She has been in Court and before the Board of Adjustment
in this ongoing project for two years. She has hired an attorney and
appeared before the Code Enforcement Board this afternoon. Their
decision was not definite as to whether they were going to reduce the
$20,000 fine. She feels she is a victim of circumstance. She has a
closing date of March 31, 1987, to finalize the sale of the property.
If this problem is not resolved at this time, she will lose the sale.
In addition, she will need to refund the commission fee and reimburse
the buyer. The City allowed the non-conforming screen enclosure. The
screen contractor refuses to remove the enclosure; he has paid his $25
fine and she must hire another company to remove it. She requested the
Commission assist her in finalizing this situation.
Mayor Campbell stated this would be taken under immediate
consideration. It will be investigated and if the Commission can adjust
the problem, they will attempt to get a policy consideration as quickly
as possible. He suggested she call him or any one of the Commissioners
and they should be able to give her a time, hopefully, next Tuesday.

REGULAR AGENDA
18. Beach Restoration and Marine Construction. The Commission is
to consider authorizing execution of an agreement between the City and
Coastal Planning and Engineering, Inc. for a continuing beach restora-
tion and marine construction contract. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Bird returned to the Commission Chambers at this time.
Mr. Dougherty stated that he would like a cost estimate or what
the limitations are, if any, to be had under the contract. The City
Manager stated that the City has received notification from the State
that $225,000 has been set aside for this project. In the past, this
money has come from the Beach Restoration Fund. This is done every year
-10- 2/24/87
340
to meet the requirements of the State and something the City has been
doing for the past ten years. Only last year did this change and the
City entered into a contract. The $225,000 does not include the con-
struction cost, but only the preliminary engineering review.
Mr Dougherty questioned the high cost if it has been done
regularly. The City Manager stated the engineers must report to three
organizations and each one has its own requirements. They say the coral
reef is being destroyed and it is necessary to go through the complete
testing process each time to verify the fact that it is not. Mr.
Dougherty asked the cost for the City if the State is picking up a
quarter of a million of the entire cost. The City Manager stated the
City's cost would be approximately $350,000 over the next three years,
which is probably the most expensive, ongoing project the City has.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to authorize the execution of the
agreement between the City and Coastal Planning and Engineering, Inc.
for a continuing beach restoration and marine construction contract,
seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call the Commission voted ~s
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.
20. Conditional Use and Site Plan Approval - Chapel Building for
Haitian Community. The Commission is to consider a request for condi-
tional use and site plan approval for a proposed 306 seat church,
located at the northwest corner of S.W. 6th Street and S.W. 8th Avenue.
The Planning and Zoning Board and Acting Planning Director recommend
approval, subject to the following conditions:
1. Provide a five foot (5') sidewalk on S.W. 8th Avenue north of
the driveway to the edge of the property (per Engineering). A
sidewalk waiver must be approved by the City Commission for
S.W. 8th Avenue south of the driveway to the edge of the
property. If the waiver is not approved by the City Commis-
sion, construction of this portion of the sidewalk will be
required. The Planning and Zoning Board recommends that the
sidewalk waiver be granted.
2. Provide a 'STOP' sign at the egress point of site.
3. The temporary use of a septic tank may be requested of the Palm
Beach County Health Department. Provision will have to be made
to connect to sanitary sewer facilities if this request is not
approved and/or when service is available. Project Engineer

4. Provide vision-obscuring gates for dumpster.
5. That a water distribution layout be submitted showing fire

14. Extend hedge around northeast corner of site to a point even
with the front setback of the church.

Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weather-

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.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Commission Chambers at this time.
23. Group Health Insurance for 1987/1988. The Commission is to
co~sider approval of the renewal of the City's Health Insurance Program
(ASO) with Gulf Group Services Corporation for one year, effective March
1, 1987. Approximate cost not to exceed $111,929.00, plus actual
claims, with funds to come from the various departmental budgets.
Approval is recommended.
Mr. Bird moved for the approval of the renewal of the City's
Health Insurance Program (ASO) with Gulf Group Services Corporation for
one year, effective March 1, 1987, 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:
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned if these rates were compatible with
other companies. The CitY Manager stated they were mainly adminis-
trative rates and they were in close proximity with all others.
Dave Huddleston, Finance Director, stated the program in use is
an administrative services only program. The City pays all their own
claims. The fees go toward Florida Health Network which monitors
admissions and discharges from hospitals and also costs per claim.
These fees are very competitive.
Mr. Dougherty questioned how much the total claims record was.
Mr. Huddleston stated the twelve months, on which the rates were based,
totaled $587,000. The dollars per employee is not high, as this plan
also includes the retirees, which number nearly 60 persons. The law
-12- 2/24/87
requires this be done; and, effective March 1, the City is going to be
required to keep terminated employees on the plan, if it is their
desire.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
24. Appointment - Code Enforcement Board. The Commission is to
Consider reappointment of Perry DonFrancisco as a member of the Code
Enforcement Board to a term ending January 14, 1990.
Mr. Bird moved to reappoint Perry DonFrancisco as a member of
the Code Enforcement Board to a term ending January 14, 1990, 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.
Mayor Campbell stated he received a call from someone who has
an application pending for Tom Scott for the Planning and Zoning Board.
Mr. Scott has a Real Estate Brokers License. There are two real estate
positions open and he has requested that Mr. Scott bring his application
to the Commission for consideration and it will be placed on the next
regular agenda.
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Council Chambers at this time.
25. 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 an alternate member to the Civil
Service Board to a term ending July 1, 1987, and clarification of
Virginia Cady's position and term, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty
- No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that he did not agree with the sti-
pulation that Virginia Cady's position warranted payment. He questioned
if her reappointment included that. Mayor Campbell stated there will be
a monthly payment along with the reappointment.
Mr. Dougherty stated that the other boards and committees have
a given term of office and, since none of the others are compensated, he
feels the ground rules should be applied here as well. Mayor Campbell
noted that the PERC board does have a paid chairman.
At this time the roll was called to the motion.
26. Appointments- Community Appearance Board. The Commission is to
consider the appointment of a regular member (Architect) to the CAB to

to terms ending March 8, 1989.

Courtenay as alternate members to terms ending March 8, 1989, seconded
by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:

Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.

statious to the architect position on the CAB as a regular member,

The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Bird left the Commission Chambers at this time.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 13-87
on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mayor Campbell stated that after further analysis he felt it
might be possible to expand the three member nominating committee to
include the Chairman of the CAB and also a member of the City Commis-
sion, making this a five (5) member Board.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels it is inappropriate to have the
nominating committee as such and an alternative might be that the
nominating committee be directed to bring back not less than 14 persons
as being recommended and acceptable to the Committee.
Mr. Bird returned to the Commission Chambers at this time.
Mayor Campbell stated he would like to try it this way with the
expanded nominating committee and then the Commission could nominate an
at-large person of their choice.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to amend her motion to accept a change,
which is Item No. 2 on Page 5 under Article II, to include a fourth
member, to be the Chairman of the CAB; a fifth member, to be a nominee
of the Commission, changing it to a five-member committee under the
first item; accept the change in Item 3 under Article II, saying the
Committee will make nominations to the Board within thirty days, for the
Board, to the Co ~mmission, and Mr. Weatherspoon amended his second. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty
-14- 2/24/87
344
- No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Mr. Dougherty stated the provisions that permit the Historic
Preservation Board to overrule the recommendations of the CAB and the
Planning and Zoning Board should not be allowed.
The City Attorney advised there are two sections where the
Commission would hear one; one is where a person attempted to be de-
signated as historic status, either their site or the district. The
other one would be where there are certificates of appropriateness to be
issued. The one section Mr. Dougherty is referring to must be Page 13,
Sec. 31-13, (4). When they talk about nominations, they are talking
about nominations for historic district or historic site status.
Mr. Bird stated that the Historic Preservation Board would, out
of necessity, need to have supremacy over Planning and Zoning and the
Community Appearance Board in areas where they have responsibility; or
there would have to be an historic preservation ordinance put into th~
zoning code. The Zoning Board has to abide by setback requirements,
etc., but there must be some latitude in order to retain historic sites.
It is going to give them the authority to ignore some of those things in
order to retain, enhance and improve some of those structures that do
not fit conveniently into our code.
Elaine Roberts stated that the Ordinance was not referred to
the Community Appearance Board for comment. It might have been a good
idea to give the Board an opportunity to review it. If the Commission
would like the Community Appearance Board to review it, they would be
happy to do that.

The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 22-87 on First
Reading, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger
- Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned how this will affect the current
leases and the City Attorney stated that as of June 15, 1987, they will
have to leave.
Mrs. Matthews stated that the leases to which Mr. Weatherspoon
is referring are the gentlemen who own the land property leasing City
property; these boats are docked at City property. One of the questions
discussed was whether he had the right to lease City property. ~
Mr. Weatherspoon stated the fact still remains that the boats
are still there and again he feels the City should be fair to all
concerned.
Mayor Campbell stated that last year when the Commission
considered this there were several people here with an attorney that
expressed concern with a hardship situation.
The City Attorney stated that they have yet to receive notice
of this pending ordinance.
Mr. Bird stated in this instance, where the City is trying to
cure an illegality, it will be necessary to move them. In all practi-
cality, if they were removed now, they really would have no place to go.
By summer there will be ample opportunity for them to relocate.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated there were other places like the Marina
Delray that have places for boats to dock and, it is his feeling that
since there is no danger involved, he doesn't understand the urgency for
removing them.
Mayor Campbell recommended that they pass it on First Reading
and then consider it for further arguments and investigation.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
33. Employee Assistance Program. The Commission is to consider an
award of Employee Assistance Program to Human Affairs International,
Inc. to provide counseling services on behavioral, medical and social
programs to begin March 1st, at a cost of $12,306 per year.
Mr. Bird moved to award an Employee Assistance Program to Human
Affairs International, Inc., to provide counseling services on behav-
ioral, medical and social programs to begin March 1st, at a cost of
$12,306 per year, seconded by Mr. Dougherty.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
The City Manager stated the City has been working on this
program for just over a year trying to establish an Employee Assistance
Program that covers a number of areas. It covers alcoholism, drug and
chemical abuse, stress management, personal emotional problems, marital
and family problems, financial and legal problems, etc. IBM uses this
program and the firm being recommended. He feels that, for a relatively
small amount of money, the City can provide to the employees a support
system which is confidential. This also ties in with other aspects of
the drug screening program.
Mrs. Horenburger stated that she had previously asked, in
conjunction with this program, that it also include some sensitivity
training sessions for the Police Department. She would like to see this
included in this proposal and figure. To award this, she feels they
should agree twice a year to have a sensitivity session.

Upon question by Mr. Bird as to whether this was to be a stress
management program or sensitivity training, Mrs. Horenburger feels they
go hand in hand.
Mayor Campbell stated that if it is the consensus of the
Commission to have the Police Department undergo that type of program,
it will need to be renegotiated, as a sensitivity training program is a
separate contract. The City Manger stated they could talk with the
Company and get a separate proposal.
The City Manager stated the $12,306 figure as it appeared on
the agenda was incorrect and should read $12,657.60.
Mr. Bird amended his motion to include the correct figure. Mr.
Dougherty 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.
34. Drug and Alcohol Testing Services. The Commission is to
consider approval of a one year contract between the City and Delray
Community Hospital for the drug and alcohol testing services to begin
March 1st.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for approval of the contract for drug
and alcohol testing, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Abstained; Mr. Dougherty - Yes;
Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote, with Mr. Bird abstaining.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
The City Attorney advised that the motion to approve is more
encompassing than the memo originally placed in each package. The
Commission needs to select two firms due to the fact there will be
pre-employment testing and current employees upon a reasonable suspicion
basis. Based on the two union contracts, a backup laboratory is neces-
sary, in case the employee requests a second test, as they have the
right to do under our current collective bargaining agreement. The
selection this evening would be for Delray Community Hospital to do the
pre-employment drug screening test, the current employee drug and
alcohol screening test and for Consulab, Inc., out of Miami, to be the
backup laboratory for the secondary testing.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 10:03 P.M.
