(Copy of Ordinance No. 63-87 is on file in the official Ord-
inance Book)
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.
Bruce Kaleita, a zoning attorney and former planning consultant
representing the property owner, whose property is currently in litiga-
tion, stated the current comprehensive plan was adopted in 1979, desig-
nating the parcel of land in question as MF-15, allowing 15 units per
acre under ideal conditions. Under the State Statutes, Chapter 163, the
City is obliged to review and update this plan every five years and he
has learned the City of Delray did not do this. He has reason to
-3- 8/25/87
believe the property remains suitable for the original designation. The
City denied the land use Mr. Rubin requested in November of 1986. In
the following month the City did not adopt a final plan to re-designate
this property and he feels it remains unnecessary. It was the opinion
of the City's Planning expert and Stan Weedon, then Acting Planning
Director, the zoning was consistent with the current comprehensive plan.
A density of RM-6 was assigned to the property, imposing a cap of 6
units per acre on this site. He does not feel the City has produced
evidence indicating there is a requirement that this property be desig-
nated for a lower density. Mr. Rubin authorized him to approach the
City with an offer to settle the litigation, and several documents have
been presented to Staff and he would like the Commission to take this
into consideration.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 63-87
on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mrs. McCarty.
Mr. Dougherty requested that the Planning Director respond to
questions raised and that the City Attorney respond with regard to the
settlement offer.
The City Attorney advised that comments and/or inquiries should
be kept to a minimum since this is a matter in litigation.
Mr. Kovacs stated the first time the item was before the
Commission on August 11, 1987, the recommendation from the P&Z Board was
to proceed with the Land Use Amendment as proposed. The land had
previously been designated as MF-M by virtue of the County Pocket
unincorporated study and was considered along with many parcels. It was
inadvertently omitted from the enactment since annexation had occurred
prior to the response from the State.
Upon question, the City Attorney stated an offer to resolve the
dispute was presented to him and there has been internal Staff discus-
sion. Nothing the Commission does in enactment will prevent the settle-
ment offer from going forward. It amounts to a change in the physical
layout of the proposed project, because it will involve four townhouses
and a single family unit.
Mr. Kaleita stated that the parameters are rather than six
units approved by the Commission in November of 1986, this offer has
only five units. Mr. Rubin plans to use the oceanfront property for a
personal single family residence. He has also requested a three-story
height limitation, not the four story that is in litigation.
Mrs. McCarty moved to postpone action on Ordinance No. 63-87,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
The City Attorney advised that in the Commission's considera-
tion of the appropriateness of the Comprehensive Land Change, the terms
and conditions of this settlement should not be an issue.
Mayor Campbell stated that the fact that this has not been
thoroughly discussed recently is not germane to the issue of what the
appropriate land use designation is. He urged the Commission to look
forward to a settlement.
Mr. Kaleita stated that his client is extremely upset because
of the fact that the Comprehensive Plan possibly would be adopted
without consideration of a settlement.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels Mr. Kaleita is out of line to
bring this up, as he feels it is trying to tempt the Commission and
instill some confusion into what should be a simple process of confirm-
ing what this body has determined to be the appropriate Land Use Desig-
nation.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that he does not see any urgency and
sees no need for it to be passed tonight.
-4- 8/25/87
The City Attorney suggested the maker of the motion amend it to
include a specific date in order that it need not be advertised again.
Mayor Campbell requested that Mr. Kovacs locate the minutes of
the meeting where this item was discussed extensively, in order that
Mrs. McCarty might have a better insight as to previous reviews and
testimonies.
Mrs. McCarty amended her motion to postpone Second and FINAL
Reading of Ordinance No. 63-87 to 7:00 P.M., City Hall, Delray Beach,
September 8, 1987; Mr. Weatherspoon amended his second. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. McCarty -
Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 4 to 0 vote.

-5- 8/25/87
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. The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Dougherty moved for approval, seconded by Mrs. McCarty.
Mr. Dougherty questioned if it will done in cooperation with
the Fire Department.
The City Attorney advised if the Commission agrees with the
memorandum request, he suggests the motion be amended to include the
conditions set forth in the Fire Chief's Memo of July 29, 1987, as
follows:
1. The burning system must be located within 150 feet of a
paved road.
2. The start-up process for the burning system must begin

smoke generation, unless otherwise prohibited by State
Statute.
3. No burning may continue after sunset.

weather or other adverse conditions.

Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he is not familiar with the DER open
pit method. Mayor Campbell stated they dig a pit and this is a smoke-
less type of burning due to the high intensity.
Thomas McMurrain, Vice President of Ocean Properties, Ltd.,
stated that the plan is that the six-acre portion that is being cleared
will be seeded and mulched.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that since they have been generous
enough to allow this parcel to be burned rather than requiring them to
have it disposed of by the conventional method, at a substantial cost,
he feels there should be some compensation made in the form of beautifi-
cation.
Mayor Campbell stated they will be returning with a site plan
modification and suggested Mr. Weatherspoon be contacted in regard to
specific items he may have in mind.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

REGULAR AGENDA
General Administration, Finance and Personnel
14. Construction of Two Lifeguard Towers and Reroofing of Three
Existing Towers. The Commission is to consider an award of contract to
the low bidder, Henry Haywood, Inc. in the amount of $14,660, with funds
to come from the 1986/87 budget. Approval is recommended.
Mayor Campbell left the Commission Chambers at this time and
Deputy Vice-Mayor Weatherspoon took the chair.
Mr. Dougherty questioned if the roofs to be repaired were on
the new towers. Mr. Weldon stated that they were and the architect had
specified roofing material that was not of the highest grade. The
contract was for such a small amount that bonding was not required.
Plans are to replace two more towers this year and three shortly after
the first of the year and the project will be complete.
Mr. Dougherty stated the bond requirements have been waived in
the past and he feels this should be a signal that a small deposit could
be held to take care of situations like this.
Mr. Dougherty moved to award the contract, seconded by Mrs.
McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty
- Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Deputy Vice-Mayor Weatherspoon - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 3 to 0 vote.
16. Renewal of Banking Services Agreement. The Commission is to
consider the award of a three year banking services agreement between
the City and Barnett Bank, subject to negotiations and City Attorney
approval of contract. Approval is recommended.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
Mr. Dougherty questioned the justification of the selection of
the Barnett Bank over the other bank proposals.
Mr. Huddleston, Finance Director, stated that with regard to
cost, based on all items, Barnett was the lowest. Mr. Huddleston gave a
detailed explanation of the procedures involved and the reasons for
making the choice.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that in the packet he found no indi-
cation of their assistance to minority businesses, housing and different
types of loans. With the business the City will extend to them, he
feels there should be some benefit in those areas.
Mr. Dougherty moved to award the contract between the City and
Barnett Bank, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr.
8 8/25/87
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4
to 0 vote.
18. Ratification of Agreement with the Town of Gulfstream for
Dispatch Service. The Commission is to consider ratification of an
agreement with the Town of Gulfstream for Dispatch Service. Approval is
recommended.
Mr. Dougherty questioned if the contract with Gulfstream
reflects the increase of some of the service charges that were approved
in the recent budget. The City Attorney advised that it does not.
The City Manager stated previously there was never a contract.
The contract was with Gulfstream and CDC. The Police Department and the
Finance Department attempted to arrive at a figure they feel could be
justified, at just under $20,000. The City is dispatching for Gulf-
stream as they have no ability to obtain a frequency of their own. At
this point there is no way of knowing how many calls will be dispatched
and what the cost is going to be.
Mayor Campbell stated that he feels there is an obligation for
inter-governmental cooperation and there is no jeopardy involved in
ratifying the agreement.
The City Attorney advised that the contract expires in June of
1988 prior to the end of the fiscal year. If it is learned the City has
lost money during that time, Staff can be directed to negotiate an
increased fee for the first three months of the next one-year agreement.
That will recoup the loss and the contract will continue with the new
figure. They will be so advised by letter with the understanding it
will not be renewed unless the loss is returned.
Mr. Dougherty moved to approve ratification of the agreement,
subject to the conditions, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call
the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. McCarty -
Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 4 to 0 vote.
20. Lighting for Shuffleboard Courts - Adult Center at Veteran's
Park. The Commission is to consider award of contract to the only
bidder, Ledbetter Electric, for replacement lighting in the amount of
$15,121.65, with funds to come from the 1986/87 budget. Approval is
recommended.
Mr. Dougherty questioned if the courts are used that much at
night to warrant the cost of replacing them. Mr. Weldon stated they
were used regularly when they were in good repair, but they have been
inoperable for two or three years. The Shuffle Board Association is
very interested in seeing the installation of the new lights.
The City Manager stated that Mr. Weldon has been with the City
for the past eighteen months and during that period he has instituted a
maintenance program that did not previously exist. Most of the park
facilities were in bad shape.
Mr. Dougherty moved to award the contract, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
21. Disc Chipper - parks & Recreation Department. The Commission
'is to consider award of contract to Asplundh for a Bush Bandit disc
chipper in the amount of $12,240, with funds to come from the 1986/87
budget. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Dougherty stated the contract is being awarded to the
second bidder instead of the low bidder and the memorandum states both
pieces of equipment are excellent and meet specifications. He questioned
why it was not given to the low bidder.
Mr. Weldon explained that any equipment purchase is referred to
Staff people and the City's technical people. The garage superintendent
-9- 8/25/87
stated that for a small amount, he feels the chipper from Asplundh is a
better piece of equipment from a maintenance point of view.
Mrs. McCarty moved to award the contract, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Dougherty - No; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote.
26. Wrecker/Towing Services. The Commission is to consider award
of contract to the low bidder, Accel Towing and Recovery.
The City Manager stated this is a continuation of action
requested several months ago by the Commission.
Bob Ferrell, 3505 Diane Drive, Boynton Beach, representing
Zuccala's Towing Service, asked the Commission to consider a contin-
uation until the next workshop meeting. Mr. Zuccala was told this item
would appear on a workshop prior to being presented at a regular meeting
and is not in the area at this time.
Mr. Dougherty stated that when this was previously presented,
the specifications at that time did not define the basis on which the
award was to be made. He does not feel this is clearly defined in the
memo.
Mrs. McCarty stated that, since there was a misunderstanding,
she feels the Commission should extend Mr. Zuccala the courtesy of
allowing him to be present during discussion. The Commission concurred.
A representative for Accel Towing stated he had previously
requested that the Commission become knowledgeable on the issues. Based
on the reality of the procedure in De!ray and the resulting computa-
tions, Accel Towing, along with all other bidders, readjusted their bid
accordingly and once again is the low bidder. He does not understand
the delay.
The City Manager stated that he will instruct Mr. Huddleston to
send his financial analyst to the purchasing office to compile the
figures and give them to the the Commission.
Mayor Campbell stated the item will be moved to the Workshop of
September 15, 1987.
27. Appointment - Board of Adjustment. The Commission is to
consider an appointment of an alternate member to the Board of Adjust-
ment to a term ending March 15, 1988.
Mayor Campbell stated he has received no memo relative to this
and is recommending that this item be postponed to the next regular
meeting with a request for resumes prior to that time.
28. Appointments - Community Appearance Board. The Commission is
to consider appointments of three regular members to the CAB to terms
ending August 25, 1989.
Mayor Campbell stated he has three resumes and is recommending
this item be postponed in order to allow the Commission to review them
along with any others that may be forthcoming, make copies and distrib-
ute them to the Commission for appropriate consideration.
Mr. Dougherty stated he understood that the Chairperson of each
committee was to submit a recommendation.
Mayor Campbell stated that on occasion the Chairperson of each
committee has submitted recommendations but this is not the regular
procedure. If the Commission would like to have this placed on the
workshop Tuesday for discussion to adopt a rule of procedure, this can
be done.
The City Attorney advised that terms have expired for three of
the five members and may cause a postponement of meetings until
-10- 8/25/87
appointments are made. The memorandum from the CAB indicates that two
of the three members eligible have expressed a desire for reappointment.
Mr. Dougherty moved to reappoint Elaine Roberts and William
Wilsher, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weather-
spoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0
vote.
29. Ordinance No. 65-87 - Amending Code - Compensation for Mayor
ahd Councilmembers. Ordinance No. 65-87, amending Chapter 2 "Adminis-
tration'' of the Code of Ordinances relative to increase in compensation
for Mayor and Councilmembers, effective March 31, 1988, is before the
Commission for consideration on First Reading. If passed, Public
Hearing will be held September 8th.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 65-87:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2, "ADMINISTRATION", OF
THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA, BY AMENDING SECTION 2-1, "COMPENSATION OF
COUNCILMEMBER AND MAYOR", TO PROVIDE THAT EACH COUNCIL-
MEMBER'S SALARY AND THE MAYOR'S SALARY MAY BE INCREASED
ANNUALLY THROUGH CERTAIN COST OF LIVING INCREASES;
REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES OR PARTS OF ORDINANCES IN
CONFLICT HEREWITH; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 65-87
on First Reading, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3
to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Dougherty suggested this be done biannually which will be
consistent with the election of members. He has received adverse
comments from citizens.
Upon question, the City Attorney advised this will permit the
Commission to adopt it yearly, but will not be necessary. It can be
revisited in the August budget discussion each year. If it is a politi-
cal issue, the same two or three seats will address it each time. If
the consensus is not to do this annually, he suggests they go to a three
year time frame.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Planning, Development and Engineering
30. Site Plan Approval - Professional Design Center. The Commis-
sion is to consider a request for site plan approval for a proposed
10,300 square foot office/residential development in a four-story
structure, located at the northeast corner of S. E. 6th Avenue and S. E.
9th Court. The first through third floors are planned for business
offices and the fourth floor for two apartments. The Planning and
Zoning Board and Planning Director recommend approval, subject to the
following conditions:
ASSESSMENT AND CONCLUSION:
1. Show location and plat reference (name, book and page) of
adjacent properties.
2. Provide additional topographical information on survey
per direction of the City's Engineering Department so
that existing and future grades on site can be adequately
evaluated.
3. The six inch (6") non-mountable curb must be correctly
labeled.
-11- 8/25/87
4. The trees adjacent to the driveways must be maintained at
a clear trunk from 3 to 6 feet.
5. The five (5) foot backout area on the northern driveway
must be curbed with six (6) inch non-mountable curb.
6. The proposed sidewalk along S. E. 9th Court must be
clearly identified on the site plan.
7. Specify the square footage and number of bedrooms in each
apartment.
8. A replat or Unity of Title is required prior to the
issuance of building permits.
9. All improvements shall be completed in accordance with
the approved site plan.
10. This approval will expire within eighteen (18) months
unless at least twenty-five (25%) percent of the total
cost of improvements are made by that time. If the
approval expires, request for extension must be made in
accordance with Section 30-22(E) of the Zoning Code.
Mayor Campbell stated that since this abuts a single family
home development and is a high-rise office tower, he feels that an
impervious tree line separating the two projects should be such that the
trees will grow to a height equal to the building height.
Digby Bridges, Architect, representing the applicant, stated
they have attended a homeowners' meeting and they want exactly what they
have now. There is a six-foot wall and they plan to plant Areca Palms
to match what is currently there. There will be Mahogany trees at the
back that will grow to a height of 30 to 40 feet.
Mr. Dougherty moved for approval of the site plan subject to
the comments of Staff and the representations of the applicant, seconded
by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows:
Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
31. Ordinance No. 48-87 - Linpro Company Rezpning. Ordinance No.
48-87, relative to rezoning a 6.78-acre parcel from LI (Light Industri-
al) District to MIC (Mixed Industrial and Commercial) District, located
at the northeast corner of Congress Avenue and Lowson Boulevard/S. W.
10th Street, is before the Commission for consideration on First Read-
ing. If passed, Public Hearing will be held September 8th.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 48-87:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, REZONING AND PLACING LAND PRESENTLY ZONED

CORNER OF CONGRESS AVENUE AND LOWSON BOULEVARD/S.W. 10TH

The City Attorney advised this is an ordinance that the Commis-
sion has previously adopted on First and Second Readings and which was
agreed upon to reconsider the Second Reading when the MIC zoning amend-
ments had been adopted. This could have been back on for Second Reading
tonight but in some confusion, it was not and has not been advertised.
It will go for Second Reading on September 8th. The Commission may make
a motion to ratify the adoption of Ordinance No. 48-87 on First Reading.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to ratify the adoption of Ordinance No.
48-87 on First Reading, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the

PROCEDURAL ITEMS
34.1. Trish Brainard, 2665 Jaeger Drive, President of the Tropic Palms
Homeowners' Association, stated she is officially placing a copy of
their petition on file with the Commission relative to the Del Mar
-13- 8/25/87
Apartment complex. She will be returning on September 8th at the
Regular Meeting in anticipation of action by the Commission.
34.2. Helen Coopersmith, 1222 South Drive Way, a member of PROD, stated
she would like to go on record as stating that she is weary of hearing
remarks such as one made last night in reference to newcomers in the
City. She feels it makes no difference how long a citizen has been a
resident of the City, if they are genuinely concerned about what hap-
pens. They, too, are taxpayers and it is a credit to the City to have
newcomers that take an interest, become involved and care about the
quality of life in Delray. She feels these negative remarks must stop.
35. Mr. Weatherspoon moved to approve the minutes of the Regular
Meeting of August 11, 1987 and the Special Meeting of August 4, 1987,
seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
36.a.1. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that, with regard to the request for a
contribution of $250 to the South Florida Science Museum, he feels if it
falls within the one percent guideline the Commission adopted, that it
is a worthy cause.
Mrs. McCarty questioned if this guideline was to be limited to
emergency civic type situations rather than things that may recur on a
yearly basis and need to be budgeted for.
Mr. Dougherty stated that he is favorable if it is in the one
percent policy.
The City Manager stated it might help if the Commission could
learn how many people are being served and what type of programs are
being offered.
The City Attorney stated it houses the only planetarium in the
area.
The Commission concurred in allowing the contribution.
36.a.2. Mr. Weatherspoon questioned the status of the parking lot on N.
W. 5th Avenue.
The City Attorney advised the contractor has submitted his bid
and insurance. There was a technical problem with the legal description
on the deed; that has been resolved and the work will probably begin
next week.
36.a.3. Mr. Weatherspoon stated that the information received from the
School Board is inconclusive in the sense that data relative to the
percentages before and after the new boundary changes is insufficient.
In addition, a projection of the student mix is needed for next year if
the proposed new schools are approved. At that time a workshop could be
planned to discuss any negative or positive ramifications.
The City Manager stated the School Board has submitted the
information they had available, but an update can be requested.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated that the information in his packet
should be made available to all members of the Commission.
Mayor Campbell requested Staff to obtain the updated informa-
tion, if it is available.
36.a.4. Mrs. McCarty stated that with regard to inter-governmental
affairs, she is requesting that Kathy Daley give a report and an update
on a semi-regular basis.
The City Manager stated if the Commission would like they can
be given copies of each department's monthly report or feel free to look
at them at their convenience.
-14- 8/25/87
Mayor Campbell stated that Mrs. McCarty would like a copy of
the monthly reports.
36.a.5. Mrs. McCarty stated that some time ago the Commission received
a letter from The Citizens for Seven County Commissioners requesting
support of the movement. She would like this item placed on an upcoming
workshop for discussion. The Commission concurred.
Mayor Campbell stated that he would be reluctant to take an
official stand on this.
36.a.6. Mr. Dougherty stated he would like to return to the Sales Tax
issue, with regard to 1/4, 1/2 or 3/4 cent.
Mayor Campbell reminded him the Commission had previously voted
for the 1/2 cent increase. He requested the minutes be reviewed and if
they reflect some indecision, the item will be placed back on the
workshop.
The City Manager stated the communication would be submitted to
the County and a list of projects must be prepared with regard to what
it will be used for.
36.a.7o Mr. Dougherty stated he wants to raise the issue regarding the
selection of the consultant for finding a new City Manager. Two names
had been submitted the last time this was discussed and he has no
problem with either.
The City Manager stated other names have been added to the
list.
Mayor Campbell questioned if Staff could have the information
to the Commission prior to Tuesday, a Special Meeting could be held
before the Workshop. The Commission concurred.
Upon question, the City Attorney advised there is no competi-
tive bidding in this situation. A selection could be made and Staff
directed to negotiate a contract which would be returned for appropri-
ateness of the fee.
Mr. Dougherty questioned if the Special Meeting could also be
used for the Waste Management contract, rather than have another on
Thursday. The City Manager advised it would be scheduled for next
Tuesday.
36.a.8. Mr. Dougherty questioned if the Commission should reconsider
the "Use it or Lose it" issue after the meeting last night on the
Alfiere-Pugliese property.
Mrs. McCarty stated that she feels the issue last night had
nothing to do with "Use it or Lose it", but rather that of improper
zoning originally.
Mayor Campbell requested that someone call Mrs. Horenburger and
if she is so inclined, it will be discussed again.
36.a.9. Mr. Dougherty stated there seems to be some misunderstanding
why the Chamberlain Property is being heard again next Thursday at the
County level. It is his understanding that everyone agreed that there
was a dual jurisdiction because that portion of Dixie Highway had not
been abandoned by the City and there is no Water Agreement. One comment
made was that the City was not represented at the last meeting. He
would like the Commission to give some direction to a specific person or
persons to attend that meeting and present the official position of the
City of Delray.
Mayor Campbell stated that Mr. Kovacs is going to attend that
meeting and if anyone wants to go, they should refresh their memory with
the official position of the City as it was discussed previously and try
to echo what the City's official position is.
-15- 8/25/87
The City Attorney advised that it is on the agenda because the
County Attorney believed the County postponed it and needed to dispose
of it one way or another. He, Mr. Kovacs, the Planning Director from
the County and the County Attorney attended a meeting, at which time
they convinced them of the correctness of the arguments. He was told
that, as to the two parcels involved, they are going to recommend that
the County does not have jurisdiction over the northern one involving
the strip. On the second parcel, the City has recommended to the County
that it is inappropriate for them to consider it without deferring to
the City for a Water Service issue. The County Health Department
notified them by letter that water was available, and Staff feels in a
bind by not considering it; however, the County Health Department is
wrong. Since they do not have water service and they need to come to
the City of Delray to obtain it, the County should not consider that
parcel, but defer to the City. Mr. Kovacs has agreed to go and state
the City's position, but it may take the support of the Commission to
convince them that neither parcel should be considered.
Upon question, the City Attorney advised they will have a
pretty site plan for which they cannot obtain permits, because they do
not have water. The City will not allow them to have water until they
sign a Water Service Agreement. As in the past, that will not happen
until they comply with the Landscaping and Site Plan procedures. The
Water Service Agreement also contains an annexation agreement.
36.a.10. Mr. Dougherty stated that a citizen from south Delray contacted
him regarding a survey of the air pollution problem on South Federal
Highway. The testing of cars, repair shops and the heavy traffic in
that area prompted the request. He questioned if it is the consensus of
the Commission to contact the Department of Health to learn if they have
the means to accomplish this.
The City Attorney stated that The Environmental Control Office
of the County has also been very cooperative. He would recommend the
City make an initial request with them. The Commission concurred.
36.a.11. Mr. Dougherty stated the Executive Director of the Waste Water
Authority is leaving and he feels the City should be considering the
type of person for replacement.
Mayor Campbell suggested that if there is not an upcoming Board
meeting, the City should call the Sewer Board and schedule a meeting to
discuss a replacement for the position. It can be placed on a Workshop
and a framework drawn up for future discussion. The Commission con-
curred.
36.a.12. Mayor Campbell stated the County Commission recently turned
down the City's request for Lake Ida Road. This was a great concern,
especially for the residents of the northwest section, and he feels the
City's position needs to be reiterated again. He suggested placing it
on a County Commission Workshop to emphasize what this will mean to the
community and that more serious consideration is expected. The Commis-
sion concurred.
36.b. There were no Non-Agenda Items from the City Attorney.
36.c.1. The City Manager stated that the City Attorney needs money to
rent office space from Mr. Blair, as there was none budgeted for this
fiscal year. The money will be transferred from the Contingency Fund of
the City Manager.
36.c.2. The City Manager stated that he received a letter from the
Senior Girl Scout Troop ~241. They are requesting permission to set up
a booth under the City's safety guidelines to sell soda on the beach
during the Labor Day weekend festivities. The proceeds are to go toward
expenses to attend the Tri-Annual National Convention of Girl Scouts in
Portland, Oregon in October. They have previously received permission
from Andre Fladell, who is coordinating the activities.
The City Attorney advised since they are having this in the
vicinity of the Municipal Beach, they will need Commission approval. If
-16- 8/25/87
the Commission is in favor this item should be voted on tonight declar-
ing it an emergency item in order to get the advertising in on time.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to declare an emergency and grant
permission for the sale of soda, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. McCarty
- Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 4 to 0 vote.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
