does not act upon that budget until September. That is why they are
having the problem now. He would like to recommend that the Commission
call a special meeting in August to adopt the proposed budget for the

of the problem that both Delray and Boynton have with regard to the
current procedure.

they have a special meeting in August they do not need this ordinance at
all. He questioned if there would be a problem with that.

do not do interim increases during the fiscal year without some lag time
also.

buildings which will consist of 104 carriage units averaging between
1,300 and 1,600 square feet and 96 terrace garden units averaging

City agencies and have agreed to the conditions asked of them so that
-8- 4/28/87
this project conforms with exactly what has been promised and represent-
ed.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, Craig Un~er, Director of
Engineering for Minto Builders, stated that they feel comfortable that
the one exit onto Linton Boulevard is more than sufficient. They do not
have an exit onto Germantown Road; however, they do have a stabilized
road, with a low hedge in front, which will only be used by emergency
vehicles.
Mayor Campbell stated that they are very much concerned about
blowing sand and will be revisiting their ordinances appropriately. He
questioned if there is something that Minto Builders could do to help
the appearance of the area. Mr. Unger stated they will do everything
they can to keep the blowing sand down and, if there is an ordinance
passed, they will be more than happy to comply with it. Mayor Campbell
stated they do not have to wait for an ordinance and questioned if they
would agree to do something once the rainy season starts to stabilize
the sand. Mr. Unger agreed.

Mayor Campbell stated that the City has no legal authority to
determine whether or not they rent apartments furnished or unfurnished.

to have furnished apartments.

happened with regard to the City's request to the County as to the four
developments in county areas. It is her understanding that the Volvo
Dealership passed.
Mayor Campbell stated he does not believe the three other items
are final at this point and the Planning Department staff are getting
additional information so that they can make comments.
31.a.3. Mrs. Horenburger stated that the City limit sign on North
Federal Highway is quite far north of the Drive-In and she has had
several complaints from people.
The City Manager advised that on the west side of Federal
Highway the City limits do go past where the Kentucky Fried Chicken
restaurant is. Mrs. Horenburger requested that the sign be taken down
as it makes it look as if the Drive-In and adult book stores on the east
side are in the City.
31.a.4. Mrs. Horenburger stated she met with DOT and they discussed a
concern brought up about 1-95 and Atlantic Avenue. She advised that
-9- 4/28/87
that is under way and DOT thought construction should have begun last
week. They are also checking on the A1A problem with regard to the
drainage before the rainy season; they promised they would do the
curbing and drainage.
31.a.5. Mrs. Horenburger stated she feels that they need to ask the
City Manager to get with the County Administrator to have a really
cooperative code enforcement effort for county pockets. The problem the
County has is a very limited number of code enforcement officers to
cover the entire County. There was, at one time, a point made that they
could deputize the City's code enforcement officers as County officers.
31.a.6. Mrs. Horenburger stated, with regard to the child care ordi-
nance, that they need someone to review and come up with some recommen-
dations.
The City Attorney advised that the study is due in two weeks.
31.a.7. Mrs. Horenburger questioned why they cannot have an all in
favor and all opposed way of voting, rather than have the City Clerk
call out each individual name for each vote.
Mayor Campbell stated he thought there was a Charter problem
with that. The City Attorney stated there is; however, he cannot recall
why they did that other than the fact that they need to show the three
affirmative votes. He advised he will take another look at the ordi-
nance adoption procedures in the Statutes.
31.a.8. Mrs. Horenburger stated the Commission received a memo which
stated that there was a complaint about a charter craft docked at the
Marina Delray. The manager of the Marina Delray stated that he is part
owner in the craft and they do not charter it from there. She ques-
tioned where they do charter it from and stated she would like to know a
little more about this.
31.a.9. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that the property the County owns on
S.W. 8th Avenue is in need of being mowed. He requested that the City
Manager report on the status of the contract between the City and the
County regarding that property by the next regular meeting.
The City Attorney advised that it is being scheduled for next
week's workshop agenda.
31.a.10. Mayor Campbell stated it was the consensus of the Commission at
their workshop meeting that the Chief of Police and the City Manager
would get back to them with regard to an analysis of the current situa-
tion in the Police Department to see if additional personnel may be due.
The City Manager advised he will have the information in two
weeks.
31.a.ll. Mayor Campbell stated the rainy season will begin in June and
he questioned if they are looking at a new ordinance or enforcement
situation with regard to the sand lots.
Mrs. Horenburger stated the ordinance which exists is in the
County and there is a Health Department regulation. She believes that
in the case of some approvals for development it is a condition.
Mayor Campbell stated that if they do not have an ordinance
which requires this already, they may want to look into it and see if
they can have it for immediate application.
31.a.12. Mayor Campbell stated he would like placed on next week's
agenda a review of the code enforcement procedures with regard to
possible changes in both the procedures and structure of both the Code
Enforcement Board and the involvement of the City Attorney's office.
Mayor Campbell advised that the Legislature is changing some of
the requirements and, if the law passes this year, some of them will be
lifted as of June.
-10- 4128/87
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that the report from the Management
Consultant is due in May and he thought they agreed that they would not
look at procedural type changes until after they have seen that study.
The City Manager stated that he contacted the Management
Consultant regarding code enforcement and they indicated that the
Commission should proceed, without any hesitancy, to make any changes
they needed.
31.a.13. Mayor Campbell stated that the Commission had directed the
Planning and Zoning Board to immediately begin looking at all the vacant
land that could possibly be an auto dealership. To date, they have not
received any report as to what they are doing and when they are doing
it. He stated it may be appropriate if the Chairman of the P&Z Board
let the Commission know what they are doing.
31.a.14. Mayor Campbell stated that he attended two meetings regarding
the parking ride facility on 1-95. DOT, in conjunction with the Federal
Government, has appropriated $74 million for parking ride facilities in
South Florida and one of them is going to be located in Boca Raton.
This ties into the 1-95 interchange which they have determined, and
believe is essential, be located somewhere between Clint Moore Road and
Linton Boulevard. Interestingly, if you applied for an 1-95 interchange
the procedure and probability of getting it is nil; however, if the
parking ride facility is located between Clint Moore Road and 1-95 you
can have an interchange. Not only can you have it, the Federal Govern-
ment will pay for it. DOT is looking at the possibility of putting the
parking ride at Yamato Road and, therefore, improving the interchange
there, or moving it further north and putting it between the two. He
expressed to them that they need an interchange and it is a top priority
item for the City to try to get one as soon as possible to try and
alleviate future crowding on Congress Avenue.
31.b. There were no Non-Agenda items by the City Attorney.
31.c.1. The City Manager advised that the Georgia Town Tavern is ready
to be demolished and he wants to make sure that the Commission does want
them to proceed.
31.c.2. The City Manager stated that the Commission has received a copy
of the Project Status Update regarding the N.W. 5th Avenue Parking Lot,
Carver School/Park Improvements, Woodlake Street Light Improvements,
Beach Improvement Projects and the Street Resurfacing FY 1986-87. If
there are any questions they should let him know.
31.c.3. The City Manager stated that he is beginning implementation of
some facets of the Management study and will begin making those changes
immediately.
31.d.1. Helen Coopersmith, 1222-D South Drive Way, stated that Westbury
Homes who were building Bermuda Isle went broke and there are a great
many people in High Point Sections 4 and 5 who have been complaining
about the sand blowing. She questioned if there is some way they can
stop this.
Mrs. Horenburger stated they need to do a list of all the
properties in the City which are having this problem and report them to
the Environmental Control officer at the Health Department.
31.d.2. Mrs. Coopersmith stated she heard earlier in the meeting that
the Volvo Dealership was approved by the County and that the other three
exceptions have not. She stated she does not understand why someone
does not go up to the County all the time and lobby the Commissioners.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she did go and lobby the County Commis-
sion. Apparently, a great many citizens who live in the area where the
Volvo Dealership is were in favor of the project and the County approved
it.
The City Manager advised that there is always a member of staff
present at the County meetings representing the City Commissioners.
-11- 4/28/87
31.d.3. Mrs. Coopersmith stated there is a bill in Tallahassee regard-
ing cable franchises. She has tried calling Tallahassee to find out
more about it.
Mrs. Horenburger stated if Mrs. Coopersmith can give her the
bill number she will check into this.
31.d.4. Frank Wheat, President of the Chamber of Commerce, stated they
would like to recognize, acknowledge and thank the Commission, City
Manager, Police Department, Fire Department and all those people who put
in many hours of work to make the Delray Affair a total success.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 8:05 P.M.
