The Assistant 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.
Marion McLeod, 930 Dogwood Drive, stated at the hearing regard-
ing this Ordinance last night at the P&Z Board meeting, it was noted
that the Planning and Zoning Director has added a second paragraph to
the original wording of the ordinance. She feels the first paragraph
can be eliminated.
Jean Beer, 945 Tropic Boulevard, stated she agrees with Mrs.
McLeod, due to the fact that the residents could be subjected to having
car dealers bring their trucks in on Florida Boulevard, as the ordinance
reads now.
Jim Hayes, 525 Heron Drive, stated he sees no reason why all
the zoning codes should be amended when the original purpose was to
separate the residential from the commercial area.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 68-87
on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mrs. McCarty.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he feels this ordinance is too restric-
tive. He suggests that it either be voted down or sent back to P&Z for
a closer look in regard to the issues in question.
Mrs. McCarty concurred with Mr. Weatherspoon.
-3- 9/22/87
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels this will impose a hardship,
especially where multi-family installations enter or exit onto single
family access streets. He concurs that the ordinance should not be
approved, but modified in some way, perhaps by eliminating Paragraph No.
7.
Mayor Campbell and Mrs. Horenburger concurred with the other
members of the Commission that the ordinance should be reviewed with
regard to the concerns voiced at this meeting.
David Kovacs, Planning and Zoning Director, stated the language
in Item No. 7 is what is before the Commission tonight. The way the
caption is worded includes this language, and if it is not agreeable to
the Commission, he feels it should be denied. The P&Z Board reviewed
the Staff report last night and recommended no change be made. He
stated that what exists today is a statement which says, "Where commer-
cial properties are adjacent to but separated by a street from single
family residential .... ", the proposal is to change the word commercial
and insert multiple family or non-residential zoned property. The
question arose as to whether it should also apply to multiple family in
addition to single family and the P&Z Board recommended that it not
apply.
Mrs. Horenburger stated she feels the Commission is attempting
to resolve a particular problem by creating legislation. The problem
seems to be in the language of "street". If residential neighborhoods
are to be protected, there needs to be some differentiation between
streets, collector roads and arterial roads. The Commission should not
negatively impact a myriad of other situations while trying to solve one
problem.
Mr. Weatherspoon made a substitute motion to postpone action on
Ordinance No. 68-87 until October 13th, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.

The Assistant 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. The public hearing was closed.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 76-87
on Second and FINAL Reading, 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. (Note: Mrs. Horenburger left the Commission Cham-
bers before roll call).
Before roll call, the following discussion was had:
Upon question, Mr. Kovacs stated a duplex is called out as a
specific use in the R-1A-C and the RO zoned districts. Otherwise, the
duplex is not mentioned as a permitted use in the Zoning Code, but an
interpretation would be made that a duplex would also be allowed.
Mr. Weatherspoon requested confirmation relative to an area
that is zoned Single Family; if this ordinance is passed could a duplex
be built next to a single family home. Mr. Kovacs stated only if it was
located in an R-1A-C District.
Mr. Kovacs stated the main reason for the ordinance is so that
development standards that apply to multiple family units do not apply
to duplexes. There are conflicting terms in the code relative to
parking requirements for a duplex, and this ordinance will eliminate
that conflict.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels there is an inconsistency between
the parking requirements and what is defined as an acceptable dwelling
occupancy. He feels this ordinance negates the existing parking re-
quirements. He also questioned when a conversion is made to a duplex,
if two kitchens, two bathrooms, etc., will be required.
Mr. Kovacs stated when a single family dwelling is converted
into a duplex, a complete dwelling unit must be provided. He feels Mr.
Dougherty is confusing the Housing Code specifications with the Zoning
Code specifications, relative to the number of parking spaces required.
-8- 9/22/87
The Assistant City Attorney advised that current code provi-
sions that deal with minimum parking requirements for a duplex will not
be eliminated upon approval of this ordinance.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

19. Nassau Street Historic District. A PUBLIC HEARING to designate
Nassau Street area as a historic district in accordance with Chapter 31,
Section 31-13(4), has been scheduled to be held at this time.
Clemmer Mayhew, Chairman of the Historic Preservation Board,
stated a public hearing was held on September 10, at which time all
residents were represented and it was unanimously agreed that Nassau
Street be designated as a historic district.
Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, stated she would like to
remind the Mayor that some time ago she recalls a volunteer member, who
had a fine background in Planning, suggested that the zoning on Nassau
Street be changed due to the historic value of the homes; at that time
the Council agreed and changed the zoning. She feels the City of Delray
is very fortunate to be able to preserve the character of this street.
The public hearing was closed.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve Nassau Street as a historic
district, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs.
McCarty - 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, the Acting City Manager stated one of the
requirements of the Historic Preservation Ordinance is a public adver-
tisement by the Board prior to the hearing, which requires notifying
those residents in the district, as well as those within 300 feet of the
district. The next step will be to change the official zoning on First
and Second Readings.
-10- 9/22/87
Mr. Mayhew stated there are three properties on the street that
are considered non-contributing and in a historic district there needs
to be a significant number of buildings which are contributing. The
response was unanimous in favor. The non-contributing buildings could
be altered or modified; however, the Board will not insist that they
become contributing.
At this time the roll was called to the motion.
46. Site Plan Approval - Del Mar Apartment Project (Cardinal). The
~ommission is to consider a request for a 104 unit apartment complex on
11.6 acres, located east of the intersection of Albatross and Curlew and
west of the FEC Railroad. Denial is recommended.
Mr. Kovacs stated the P&Z Board has reviewed this item and
recommends that it be denied. The applicant requested a continuance so
some of the reasons for denial can be addressed.
Jim Brady, the Attorney representing Cardinal Industries,
stated he feels the site plan complies with the technical requirements
set forth in the City Code, with the exception of a couple of minor
changes. He feels it is a question of whether or not the City will
allow that particular site to be developed, which is pristine and
well-forrested.
Trish Brainerd, 2665 Jaeger Drive, President of the Tropic
Palms Homeowners' Association, stated she feels this project will
destroy a truly rare eco system that is the moral obligation of the
citizens to protect.
Fred Cichocki, Chairman of the coalition for Wilderness Islands
in Palm Beach County, stated very little of south Florida's native
landscape remains. The natural character of the land is an important
item. Delray Beach should acquire and protect the entire Cardinal
Industries' tract as a Natural Areas Preserve. Some of the possibil-
ities for acquisition are: 1) The City of Delray Beach could purchase
the property; 2) The use of Severable Use Rights (Development Rights)
by severing the Use Rights and allowing them to be sold or used on other
property, or the market value can be reduced making it potentially
purchasable; 3) Land Trade is a possibility. If there is public land
available, the City could consider trading it, after upzoning it; 4) A
tax covenant can be developed, whereas the City gives Cardinal Indus-
tries an exemption, while negotiating other possibilities; 5) Another
possibility is condemnation of the property, but that is not something
the Wilderness Islands program advocates. He would like to see Delray
become a leader in developing some method by which municipalities can
acquire and retain their original domain.
Mark Bennett, 522 Kingbird Circle, stated he agrees with Mr.
Kovacs in that this parcel should never have been zoned RM-10 in 1979.
The City has had numerous opportunities in the past to acquire or rezone
this parcel and have chosen not to act or follow through with appropri-
ate action. He asked the Commission to keep in mind that this developer
is asking them to approve a project that will add 104 units to the
existing number of homes in that neighborhood. The traffic study
indicated that Albatross and Curlew Road will experience traffic in-
creases of 32 percent and 22 percent. He feels if the site cannot be
preserved in its current tranquility by purchasing it, then it must be
preserved by decreasing the density.
Paul Smith, 924 Jasmine Drive, stated he feels the Commission-
ers are the residents' attorneys, is confident they will find a way to
create a positive environment for this community and requested that they
deny this project.
Kathy Webber, 702 Dotterel Road, stated this property is
something beautiful to behold. A traffic problem exists now and should
not be impacted further.
Mrs. Horenburger questioned whether the Wilderness Island
Program has budgeted an amount for this program this year.
-11- 9/22/87
Mr. Cichocki was not sure of the budget. He stated the County
is looking into more creative means of acquisition other than funding
with dollars and cents, and will be readily available to assist with
Grant Funds, etc., in the future.
Mr. Dougherty moved to approve the request for a 104 unit
apartment complex, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. Horenburger - No;
Mrs. McCarty - No; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - No. Said
motion failed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Upon question by Mr. Dougherty, relative to the memo and its
references as being legally intact and appropriate, the Assistant City
Attorney stated that Mr. Kovacs indicated some of his comments have been
addressed so these are factual findings. There are standards for
evaluating the site plan that are contained in the City Zoning Code.
These points address some of those standards. The memorandum may be
used as a basis for considering this site plan.
Mrs. McCarty stated she resides in the area under discussion
and can personally attest to the fact that the traffic impact would be
deadly if this project should be approved. The inconsistency with the
policy guide, by this development going to 100 percent one-bedroom
units, is inconsistent with the policy guide for this community and the
demographic mix advocated for now and the future.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he feels the reasons mentioned for
denying the project are indeed valid. He feels the developer did not
originally intend to make a difficult situation for the current resi-
dents, but rather to provide housing for young families, for which he
feels there is a definite need. The entire concept has now shifted and
while he is aware of the traffic impact, that impact is going to be
present regardless of the location of the development. He does not
feel that is a reason for denial. He opposes the amount of the rent,
and while the original concept is excellent, he does not support the
site plan in this particular location.
Mayor Campbell stated he agrees that the Commission may need to
look at long term changes as to what the objectives for this area might
be. At this time his objection is solely on the site plan as presented
to the Commission and he does not feel it fulfills the objectives with
regard to proper landscaping requirements, traffic patterns, preserva-
tion elements and/or the effect on the adjacent neighborhood.
At this time the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Campbell declared a recess the time being 8:45 P.M. The
meeting reconvened at 8:58 P.M.
Mrs. Horenburger was absent from the Commission Chambers at
this time.

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.
REGULAR AGENDA
General Administration, Finance & Personnel
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
23. City Attorney's Salary. The Commission is to consider approval
of the City Attorney's salary in accordance with the Mayor's memorandum
of September 11, 1987.
Mayor Campbell stated two years ago the City Attorney did not
receive an increase and last year it was two or three percent so he has
been below the average that has been given department heads and other
City Officials. The raise submitted in the memorandum reflects a
comparable salary to other department heads.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels a percentage increase generally
is not used in a classification plan of salaries as it causes a com-
pounding of salary increases. He feels there should be a 20 percent
spread between the salary of City Manager and the next highest staff
person. If this is approved, the salary of the City Manager should be
increased to a higher level in order to maintain a differential between
his job responsibility which, he feels, far exceeds that of the City
Attorney.
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned how the City Attorney's salary will
compare with the area City Attorneys. As this information was not
readily available at this time, he did not feel comfortable with the
eleven percent until he had more information to justify the increase.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the City Attorney's salary,
seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mrs. Horenburger stated the City Attorney has been with the
City for eight years in that capacity and two years as Assistant City
Attorney. She feels the depth of his knowledge, along with the fact that
some time ago the City Council made a policy decision that because the
Commission hires the City Attorney and the City Manager, they need to
work more equally together and the salaries should be kept in line with
each other.
Mrs. McCarty stated on the basis of the organizational chart,
both the City Manager and the City Attorney are equal and she feels the
salaries should be comparable.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels the City Attorney is not on an
equal to the City Manager in his responsibility to the City. Every
compensation plan has an upper limit and many of the current employees
have reached that limit, at which point they are restrained. There are
a few employees that are in the $60,000 range and he feels the Commis-
sion should look at the entire salary structure. He also stated that
when he requested that this item be moved, he failed to mention that he
wanted to request there be an Item 23A, Compensation for the Acting City
Manager, to be considered tonight. With the Commission's consent he
would like to look at that memorandum.
-14- 9/22/87
The Assistant City Attorney advised it will be more appropriate
to discuss this during the Commission session since it is not on the
printed agenda.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
27. Acquisition of Community Dispatch Center Property. The Commis-
sion is to consider approval of purchase of surplus radio equipment in
the amount of $47,130 from dissolution of South Palm Beach County CDC
to support Police/Fire dispatching, with funds to come from the 1986-87
budget. Approval is recommended.
The Acting City Manager stated the reason he requested this
item be moved was in order to change the funding from the 1986-87
General Fund to the Law Enforcement Trust Fund for 1987-88.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for approval of the purchase and a
change in funding, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
29. Utility Tractor - Parks & Recreation Department. The Commis-
sion is to consider award of contract to Broward-Palm Beach Tractor
Company in the amount of $23,532 for a John Deere utility tractor with
front end loader and back-hoe to be used at the cemetery. Funds are to
come from the 1986-87 budget. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Dougherty questioned why all the bidders, with the excep-
tion of one, quoted a bucket less than required.
Joe Weldon, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated the
specifications clearly identified that the bucket must be a minimum of
36 inches in width. The garage felt that the 36 inch bucket would not
fit on that model of tractor, so the bids were for a 24 inch bucket.
Upon question, Mr. Weldon stated there has been a 36 inch
bucket on the present equipment for ten years, with no apparent problem.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for the approval of the contract,
seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty -
Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
30. South Florida Water Management District Grant to the City. The
'Commission is to consider acceptance of grant offer in the amount of
$53,000 for residential retrofit demonstration project from the SFWMD.
Approval is recommended.
Mr. Dougherty stated that per the memorandum, this requires the
equipping of 1400 homes with water saving devices. If the administra-
tive cost to the City is taken away, this leaves approximately $32 per
home for the equipment at one and one-half hours per plumber. There is
no way this can be accomplished in this length of time and at this cost.
He feels there should be an understanding with the Water Management
District that the City cannot equip 1400 homes.
Robert Pontek, Director of Public Utilities, stated he made the
proposal to the South Florida Water Management District along with Lake
Worth and Miami-Dade and the City received all five of the first place
votes for this particular proposal. The difficulty that has arisen,
once the grant was awarded, is the fact that the City is required to
provide the items to be retrofitted and the labor, but does not want to
get into budgetary funds to supplement the grant. The City will assume
responsibility to process bids and provide data for assembly, more
realistically in the neighborhood of 300 to 400 homes. The main reason
that it is before the Commission tonight is because SFWMD has an October
1st deadline for conceptual approval. A projection of $3500 to $5000 is
the cost arrived at for expenses and exposure of actual manpower and
computer time. It will be handled under the Utilities Department as an
added duty.
-15- 9/22/87
Mr. Dougherty moved to approve the offer to the extent of the
$3500 cost to the City, with the understanding that there will not be
1400 homes involved, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -
Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
35. Insurance Program Renewal - 1987-88. The Commission is to
consider approval of the following City insurance coverage:
a. Renewal of the City's Workers' Compensation insurance
through Florida League of Cities Self-Insurance Fund at
an estimated cost of $400,000.
b. Renewal of the City's Protected Self-Insurance through
A.J. Gallagher at a combined cost of $164,312.
c. Continuation of the City's Service Agreement with
Gallagher-Basset for claims service, loss control and
data management service at an estimated cost of $20,650.
d. Renewal of the City's Boiler and Machinery policy at a
cost of $3,162 to be renewed through Gallagher-Bassett.
Total estimated cost of $588,124. Funds are to come from the Self-
Insurance Fund. Approval is recommended.
Mrs. McCarty left the Commission Chambers at this time.
Mr. Dougherty questioned the reason for awarding a contract to
Gallagher-Bassett for claim service, etc., without going for bids.
Mr. Huddleston stated in October of 1985 it was the recom-
mendation of both Staff and the Risk Management Consultant to proceed in
this way and the Commission approved it. In July a memorandum was sent
to the City Commission advising that they were going to continue with
the procedure to negotiate, rather than to bid, which was the action
taken by the Commission in September of 1985 and received no conflicting
reply.
Upon question by Mr. Weatherspoon, Mr. Huddleston stated it may
have been possible to get a better offer if bids had been let, but this
offer was lower than that of the prior year when they were unable to get
bids. This was the recommendation of the outside consultant.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the insurance coverage,
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.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Commission Chambers at this time.
37. Lease Cars - Police Department. The Commission is to consider
authorizing execution of agreement between the City and Sheehan Rent-A-
Car, Inc., for leasing up to eight vehicles for the Organized Crime unit
at a cost of $35,424 per year, with funds to come from the 1987-88
budget. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Dougherty stated in this item, there is a notation of
15,000 miles, and he is curious as to the effect if the car is run
beyond that number of miles.
The Acting City Manager advised these are undercover cars, not
patrol cars.
Police Chief Kilgore, stated there is an availability of
different cars on a daily basis and some of them are kept for a very
short time. He does not feel that situation will occur.
Mr. Dougherty moved for approval of the agreement, seconded by
Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 3 to 0 vote.
-16- 9/22/87
Mrs. McCarty returned to the Commission Chambers at this time.
38. Appeal to Decision of Community Appearance Board - Video Stop
Movies. The Commission is to consider appeal of the CAB decision
regarding sign.
Ray Gomez, representing MacLaren Signs, stated that, even
though the signs are drawn to scale when presented to the Community
Appearance Board, they do not always appear to look exactly as they
will. The applicant was a lease tenant in Boca Raton, has recently
built a shopping center in Delray, and wishes to move his sign from Boca
Raton to Delray. The sign is 20 inches, the CAB denied it and wants it
to be 15 inches.
Digby Bridges, Chairman of the Community Appearance Board,
stated the sign was looked at very closely, and they were told the sign
was 24 inches and that is what they wanted. There seems to be some
inconsistency in the figures. The most important factor is the surround-
ing signs and what needs to be considered. The twenty inches is far too
great for the ratio of fascia to all the other signs.
Mayor Campbell stated he does not see a distinguished differ-
ence between the two sizes and is therefore inclined to approve it. He
informed the applicant, if it is approved and does not look good, it
will be addressed at a later date and he will be unable to retain it for
any length of time, possibly the life of the sign.
Mrs. McCarty moved to approve the sign of 20 inches, 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.
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
39. Refuse and Trash Collection Service Contract. The Commission
is to consider bidding refuse and trash collection service contract
after conclusion of current contract which expires in October 1988.
Mayor Campbell stated this item was discussed before and it was
determined to increase the rate and amend the contract in two regards
recognizing additional services, additional compensation and a request
for a five-year extension. There was also a request that there be a
clause inserted in the contract allowing the City termination rights,
without cause, with proper notification and remuneration for out of
pocket expenses. A new contract in concept was approved, subject to a
formal contract being drawn up and coming back to the Commission for
ratification. Some concern has been voiced on this and that is why it
is on the agenda tonight.
The Assistant City Attorney advised it should be decided
whether to go out for bids or to continue with the negotiated element
and why.
Mayor Campbell left the Commission Chambers at this time and
Vice-Mayor Horenburger took the chair.
Mr. Dougherty stated six months of surveys were conducted for
this item. He had a discussion with the City Attorney in regard to this
and since it is being done on an experimental basis, they felt that
perhaps a five-year period was beyond an experimental time and a two-
year period would be sufficient. Comments from a workshop indicated
once a week pickup would not be sufficient. He feels the contractor
should prepare himself with additional equipment, etc. A period of time
must be allowed to educate the public as to the service. He has no
objection to extending the current contract for a two-year period.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated by reducing the length of the service
contract, he assumes the cost of the service would go up, and he has a
problem with that. He feels the City has a good rapport with the
current company and is satisfied with what they are proposing. To open
rebidding again is not always the solution. He feels granting the
-17- 9/22/87
contract to the current Collection Service is in the best interest of
the citizens.
Mrs. McCarty stated there has been a problem with trash piles
along with the Code Enforcement Department being tied up with the
process of tagging, etc., and our priorities have shifted. She feels it
is crucial to get this program underway. There seems to be no problem
with their service or performance, their price is right and she would
make a motion to approve this contract for a five-year period. Mr.
Weatherspoon stated he would second the motion.
The Assistant City Attorney advised this is a consensus item
tonight and after the contract has been reviewed, it will be returned to
the Commission for approval. The Commission concurred to continue on
the same course and negotiate the contract rather than rebidding.
40. Towing Contract Bids. The Commission is to consider rejecting
all towing contract bids and to direct staff to prepare City specifica-
tions for rotation system.
Mr. Dougherty moved to reject all bids and to direct staff to
prepare City specifications for rotation system, seconded by Mrs.
McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty
- Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Vice-Mayor Horen-
burger - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Mayor Campbell returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
41. City Manager's Salary Range. The Commission is to consider
salary range for City Manager. Proposed range is $60,000 to $70,000.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to approve the salary range for the City
Manager, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted
as follows: Mr. Dougherty - No; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty -
Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Dougherty stated he would prefer to see the Commission
establish a job classification range for the City Manager from a minimum
of $57,000 to $85,500. He feels he has tried to evaluate the salary
structure and attempted to incorporate all existing salaries into a
hierarchy system and, as he stated earlier, the City Attorney is going
to be making the same amount, if not more, than the City Manager. If
the Commission wants the City Manager to be the executive director of
the City, he feels to restrain the salary at $70,00 will not fly if
there is a person with a higher salary than the City Manager.
Mrs. Horenburger questioned if this figure will be locked in,
or is this primarily being used to advertise the position of City
Manager.
The Assistant City Attorney stated the figure would not neces-
sarily be locked in and feels the concern would be more along the lines
of the persons who did not apply for the position,due to inadequate
remuneration, and later learn that it was actually more than originally
stated.
Mayor Campbell stated his feeling is that this is a recommend-
ation that was placed on the agenda by Mr. Mercer who is comfortable
with it at this time. It does not impede the Commission in any way to
negotiate increased benefits or salary at a later time.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to revisit the Consent Agenda, seconded
by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
-18- 9/22/87
Mrs. Horenburger moved to consider the Consent Agenda, as
passed, minus Items No. 23, 27, 29, 30, 35 & 37, which were previously
approved, deleting Item No. 36, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
36. Connie Tuttle, Chairman of the Downtown Development Authority,
representing the Atlantic Avenue Association of the DDA, stated the
intent was to have the second annual Halloween Street Dance over the
Intracoastal Waterway to give consideration to those businesses as well
as a new business, The Club Castile, who was going to assist with
concessions. There seems to be much concern over noise and parking.
She has consented to consider moving it back to the CBD area in the 300
or 400 block, depending on which restaurants will work with the Atlantic
Avenue Association.
Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the change to an alternate
geographic location, seconded by Mrs. McCarty. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -
Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
42. Voting Delegate - Florida League of Cities. The Commission is
to consider selection of one Commissioner to serve as the City's Voting
Delegate to the 61st Annual Florida League of Cities Convention in
Miami, October 15-17, 1987.
Mrs. McCarty moved to appoint Mr. Weatherspoon as the voting
delegate and Mrs. McCarty as the alternate delegate, seconded by Mrs.
Horenburger. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr.
Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
43. Ordinance No. 80-87 - Amending Code - Landlord Permit. Ordi-
nance No. 80-87, amending Chapter 16 "Offenses Miscellaneous" of the
Code of Ordinances to require that a landlord permit be obtained for
dwelling units which are rented for residential purposes, is before the
Commission for consideration on First Reading. If passed, Public
Hearing will be held October 13th.
The Acting City Manager presented Ordinance No. 80-87:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 16, "OFFENSES MISCELLAN-
EOUS'' BY ENACTING A NEW ARTICLE III, "LANDLORD PERMITS"
TO REQUIRE THAT A LANDLORD PERMIT BE OBTAINED FOR DWELL-
ING UNITS WHICH ARE RENTED FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES;
PROVIDING PERMIT FEES; PROVIDING CRITERIA FOR GRANTING A
PERMIT; PROVIDING FOR APPEALS FOR A DENIAL OF A PERMIT;
PROVIDING FOR INSPECTIONS OF RENTAL PROPERTY; PROVIDING
FOR PENALTIES; PROVIDING A REPEALER CLAUSE; PROVIDING A
SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The Assistant City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 80-87
on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call the Commis-
sion voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mrs.
McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Dougherty stated that it has been brought to his attention
that the Housing Authority would be subject to this ordinance. Under
the HUD ground rules, with consideration to the inspections conducted by
the Housing Authority and HUD, he would suggest that they not be subject
to the permit fee.
-19- 9/22/87
Mayor Campbell referred to Section 16-52 that states: "Nothing
in this Section shall require a permit of any unit enrolled in a Federal
Housing Program or under HUD general supervision."
Mr. Dougherty stated that a citizen brought up the fact that
certain landlords must have an Occupational License. He feels that the
license should be written off against an equivalent number of permit
requirements.
The Assistant City Attorney stated the Occupational License is
in the range of $3.00 per unit, so it may be simpler to go to $7.00 per
unit in the Ordinance.
Mayor Campbell suggested the Assistant City Attorney address
the Ordinance for Occupational License fees and amend that particular
section, taking into consideration that the fee is a credit. The
Commission concurred.
Mr. Dougherty referred to Sec. 16-51, indicating that not all
of the property may be used as a residence, but possibly include some
commercial use.
The Assistant City Attorney stated, in his opinion, if it is a
combination of uses, it will still be included.
Mr. Dougherty referred to Sec. 16-55, stating he would suggest
the City Engineer be eliminated from the Permit Review Committee and
substitute the Chairperson of the Human Relations Committee.
Mayor Campbell stated the Chairperson is not a Staff person and
would not be covered for their decision making process as an employee.
Mrs. Horenburger stated if anyone has a real problem, they can
go to the Human Relations Committee or to the City Commission. If there
should be denial of a Landlord Permit, as policy, they should be in-
formed that they have an appeal process.
The Assistant City Attorney was requested to alter the last
sentence to read: "Decisions of the Permit Review Committee may be
appealed to the City Commission." He advised this can be done without
going back to First Reading.
Mr. Dougherty also referred to Sec. 16-56, the next to the last
line, that states the City may obtain the appropriate warrant; he feels
it should read 'shall' or 'will' rather than may.
The Assistant City Attorney advised the word 'may' is used
because at the time of going for a warrant, you go in front of the judge
and you must weigh whether you have an appropriate case. There may be
cases that are unnecessary or not appropriate to take before the judge.
The Commission concurred the language should be changed to read "the
City shall attempt to obtain" ..........
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned why a 48-hour notice is required
for inspection when they are at the residence.
The Assistant City Attorney stated the inspection section
creates another reason for inspecting. If there is reason to suspect
there is a rental unit and no Landlord Permit has been obtained, it
gives another means of gaining access. Currently, that right is not
available on the basis that it is rental property.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Planning, Development and Engineering
44. Ordinance No. 81-87 - Amending Zoning Code - Definition of
Family. Ordinance No. 81-87, amending Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the Code
of Ordinances relative to definition of family, is before the Commission
for consideration on First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing will be
held October 13th.
The Acting City Manager presented Ordinance No. 81-87:
-20- 9/22/87
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 30, "ZONING", SECTION
30-1 "DEFINITIONS", OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY
OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, BY REPEALING SUBSECTION (33)
"FAMILY"; BY ENACTING A NEW SUBSECTION (33) "FAMILY" TO
PROVIDE THAT FAMILY SHALL MEAN ONE (1) OR MORE PERSONS,
RELATED IN A DIRECT LINEAL RELATIONSHIP, BY BLOOD,
MARRIAGE OR ADOPTION TO THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD AND/OR FOR
WHICH THE HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD MAY CLAIM AN EXEMPTION ON
HIS/HER FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN, LIVING AS A SINGLE
HOUSEKEEPING UNIT IN A DWELLING, WHICH MAY ADDITIONALLY
INCLUDE TWO UNRELATED PERSONS, AND PROVIDING THAT PERSONS
RESIDING WITH A FAMILY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ADOPTION, OR
FOR FOSTER CARE AS LICENSED OR APPROVED BY THE STATE OF
FLORIDA OR ANY PERSON WHO IS LIVING WITH A FAMILY AT THE
DIRECTION OF A COURT FALL WITHIN THE DEFINITION OF
FAMILY; PROVIDING A GENERAL REPEALER CLAUSE; PROVIDING A
SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The Assistant City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mrs. Horenburger moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 81-87
on First Reading, seconded by Mrs. McCarty.
Mrs. McCarty stated she feels it would be appropriate to
include a definition of a lineal family. It is her understanding this
includes the head of the household, his parents, his children and his
spouse that make up the lineal family. The Assistant City Attorney
stated this was the intent.
Mrs. Horenburger rescinded her motion, Mrs. McCarty rescinded
her second.
Mrs. Horenburger moved that the Commission go back to consider-
ation of family by using Federal Guidelines relative to the definition
of family, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mr. Dougherty suggested they forget about the definition of
family and stay with the two persons per bedroom. Some sort of case by
case law could be inserted to allow two additional children, if neces-
sary.
The Assistant City Attorney advised it would be unconstitu-
tional if the City Commission did anything to deny a family with twelve
children the right to live together.
After discussion, the following substitute motion was made.
Mrs. McCarty made a substitute motion to approve Ordinance No.
81-87 on First Reading, seconded by Mr. Dougherty. Upon roll call the
Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - No;
Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 3 to 2 vote.
Mrs. Horenburger left the Commission Chambers at this time.
45. Parking Code Waiver - Horizon Club at Crosswinds. The Commis-
sion is to consider a request for a parking waiver to allow a reduction
in the amount of paved parking spaces from 377 to 251 (126 spaces). The
property is located on the south side of Linton Boulevard, between
Homewood Boulevard and the Spanish Wells development, subject to the two
following conditions:
1. That a waiver by the City Commission of the parking is
required.
2. If a need for additional paved parking is determined by
the Chief Building Official it will be provided by the
developer upon said determination.
Planning and Zoning Board recommends approval.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved to approve the waiver, subject to the
applicant posting a one year bond to insure that the required
-21- 9/22/87
improvements (the reserve parking spaces) will be installed, if neces-
sary; and direct staff to proceed with preparation and review of a code
amendment which addresses parking requirements for a continuing care
facility, subject to conditions, 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.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
The Assistant City Attorney stated he is not sure that a one
year bond will allow enough time for the City to come up with a new
ordinance. Upon question, he advised if the ordinance is not adopted
within the one year time frame, the City will cash in the bond and pave
the parking spaces. The amount of the bond will be determined when an
estimate is submitted by the City Engineer. The Parking Code Waiver can
be passed and then bring the bond back to the Commission for further
evaluation.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
47. Sidewalk Waiver - Portion of Pelican Harbor, Phase 2. The
Commission is to consider a request for waiver of sidewalk requirements
for a portion of Pelican Harbor, Phase 2, located east of South Federal
Highway between the C-15 Canal and Tropic Isle Drive. Technical Review
Committee recommends approval.
Mr. Dougherty moved for approval, 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.
48. Settlement Offer - Amos Franci.s vs City of Delray Beach. The
Commission is to consider a settlement offer - workers' compensation
claim in the amount of $55,000. The City Attorney and Risk Management
Administrator recommend approval.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved for approval of the settlement, 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.
Mrs. Horenburger returned to the Commission Chambers at this
time.
50. Collective Bargaining ~greement Between the City and IBF&O.
The Commission is to consider ratification and authorization to execute

PROCEDURAL ITEMS
52.a.1. Sylvia Wolf Herman, Pines of Delray, stated she is not a
resident of the City of Delray; however, she is a neighbor and is
appearing tonight to request the Commission to reaffirm their support
-22- 9/22/87
against the widening and extension of Lake Ida Road. Next Tuesday the
County Commission will be adopting the Five-year Road Plan and she will
appreciate the City's input and support.
52.a.2. Robert Fine, member of the Board of Directors of Shadywoods,
stated he feels the Commission should be aware of the tempers and
attitudes of the residents of west Delray relative to Mr. Pugliese and
his proposals for the intersection at Military Trail and Linton Boule-
vard. They have recently learned there is a plan to construct a 92,000
square foot Albertson store with the possibility of a rental liquor
section and two fast-food shops. Originally this was planned to allow
rental housing and, through fear of poor upkeep, the community panicked
and went along with a zoning change from residential to commercial. At
that time it was indicated that the developer was to construct an office
building and specialty shops. They are asking the City to do whatever
possible to see that Mr. Pugliese does what he verbally indicated.
52.a.3. Helen Coopersmith, 1222 South Drive Way, representing PROD,
referring to Mr. Fine's comments, stated she feels now is the time for
the City Commission to pursue the 'Use it or Lose it' issue. She feels
that when an applicant presents a site plan, they should be held to it.
She was told there were three ways this could revert back to resi-
dential: Mr. Pugliese can do this himself, it can go through the P&Z
Board or it can go before the Commission, by petition. She feels the
residents of Shadywoods were given false hopes and there must be some
way to correct this.
52.a.4. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, stated she understands the
meeting in regard to the five year plan for Lake Ida Road is to be held
next Tuesday. It was made clear at a previous meeting that the City
Commission was not represented, indicating it was not behind its state-
ment. There are thousands of people in the area that do not want this
road and they are looking to the Commission for help. She also reminded
the Commission that the City name is not yet on the markers at the
entrances to the City.
Mayor Campbell stated the Commission has taken an official
stand in response to the interests of the Community, it has been put in
writing and he feels it is perfectly clear that they are not in favor of
the road extension. He encourages everyone to attend and feels it is
unfortunate that, as a Federal Governmental Body, they will not recog-
nize the City's correspondence and their official position but requires
people to be there in person to speak.
52.a.5. Daniel Morgan, 125 S. W. llth Avenue, stated he has a concern
with regard to traffic entering Lake Ida Road in the area of Jefferson
Manor. He feels it is a very dangerous approach, not only because of
the curve, but also because of poor lighting.
Mayor Campbell stated the Commission will be discussing this.
53. Mrs. Horenburger moved to approve the minutes of the Special
Meeting of September 1, 1987, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll
call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Dougherty - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mrs. McCarty - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
54.a.1. Mr. Dougherty stated he would like to bring up the compensation
for the Acting City Manager. He feels the memorandum the Mayor present-
ed to the Commission is appropriate.
Mayor Campbell stated unless there is an emergency, the Commis-
sion cannot vote, so is suggesting a Special Meeting for business
purposes be called prior to the Tuesday Workshop.
The Assistant City Attorney advised if the Commission wants an
emergency matter, the Acting City Manager cannot get paid according to
the pay schedule on October 2, as all the other employee increases.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he feels there should be compensation,
but normally this is addressed by his superior during his evaluation
time frame. He feels it is inappropriate to state up front that he will
-23- 9/22/87
be given a certain amount of money for Acting City Manager until the
beginning of the year. He feels that as Assistant City Manager, it is
within the scope of his duties to step in when needed and his salary
reflects this.
Mayor Campbell stated after doing some checking, he finds there
are some employees who have time periods in their contracts, stating
that after a specific number of days they advance to a higher pay grade.
This happens to be in the contract of the Acting City Manager. It will
be placed on the agenda for consideration next Tuesday.
54.a.2. Mrs. McCarty stated it was brought to the attention of the
Commission that Virginia Courtenay, alternate on the CAB Board, would
like to move up and Sid Soloway and Phyllis Plume are up for reappoint-
ment as members of the P&Z Board. Perhaps those positions could be
taken care of at the next meeting.
Mr. Dougherty stated he feels the whole concept regarding
appointees has been lost. He feels that before a member is moved up or
reappointed, there should be a review or a recommendation from the
Chairperson of that Board.
Mayor Campbell stated it will be placed on a Special meeting
for consideration.
54.a.3. Mrs. McCarty questioned if the Assistant City Manager could be
designated as an Interim City Manager during this time rather than
Acting City Manager. Seeing no problem, the Commission concurred and
Mayor Campbell requested that it be so noted on the meeting schedule.
54.a.4. Mrs. Horenburger stated at the County Commission meeting last
week, with regard to Lake Ida Road, she read the Mayor's letter confirm-
ing the City's position and asked that they improve the section from
Swinton Avenue to Congress Avenue. The County Chairman stated the plan
is done, has been approved on First Reading, and they have no intention
of changing it. She then informed the County Commission that the City
is concerned because what was requested has not been included or was
never addressed. At that time, the County Engineer asked if they do the
improvements from Swinton to Congress, will the City Commission support
the County on the remainder of the improvements. She replied that she
would present it to the City Commission and get their input before she
could give them an answer.
54.a.5. Mrs. Horenburger stated the Chamber is proposing something
similar to the Directions '86 Conference that was held in Port St. Lucie
two years ago. This was a very productive meeting and resulted in the
School Bond, the County-wide Planning Council and other important items
that affect everyone. She would hope that the City would support this.
54.a.6. Mrs. Horenburger stated there is a fallen traffic light at the
intersection of Atlantic Avenue and Gleason Street. She requested that
persons responsible for maintenance be contacted and recommend an
inspection program be activated to prevent a reoccurrence of this.
54.a.7. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he had requested that Staff provide
some information in regard to schools. The Acting City Manager indicat-
ed they are working on this.
54.a.8. Mayor Campbell stated there is an alternate lay member, Mr.
Cohen, on the Code Enforcement Board who would like to be moved up.
This will be put on Tuesday's agenda for consideration.
54.b. There were no Non-Agenda Items from the Assistant City Attor-
ney.
54.c. There were no Non-Agenda Items from the Acting City Manager.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 11:15 P.M.
