4. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the Regular
Meetings of December 4, 1984 and December 11, 1984, seconded by Mr.
Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs.
Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
5.a.1. Mr. Robert Banker, High Point, stated that he purchased a
parking sticker for the beach which is supposed to be good for twelve
months. The sticker is three months old and is useless, only because he
bought a new car; according to Ordinance No. 21-81, he cannot transfer
the sticker from one car to another.
Mr. Bird moved that staff be instructed to draft a change to
the ordinance to allow people, upon presentation of their old sticker,
to be issued a replacement sticker, at no cost, for their new car,
seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
5.b.1. Mr. Weatherspoon stated he has been informed by the City
Manager that they have received a letter from the Department of Trans-
portation which states that they reversed their decision and have agreed
that a traffic signal can now be put at West Atlantic Avenue and 12th
Avenue. They will know in four to six weeks how this fits into DOT's
schedule.
Mr. Weatherspoon moved that staff be instructed to look into
what it would cost to have the traffic signal put in so they will have
some idea and will be prepared to go in whatever direction they have to
go, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
5.b.2. Mrs. Horenburger stated a letter has been received from Mr.
Norman Price, Athletic Director of Atlantic Community High School,
regarding the possibility of instituting a youth basketball league; the
present league starts at 18 years and up. She would like Council to
keep this in mind if and when they are approached about this.
5.b.3. Mrs. Horenburger stated she would like Mr. Barcinski, As-
sistant City Manager, and the planning staff to study Items 5, 7, 8, 9,
10, 56, 68, 69, 84, 93 and 97 of the permitted uses in the SC district
and look at the possibility of having those items under conditional use
rather than permitted use. Basically, these permitted uses deal with
auto sales, paint and body shops, etc., and she feels that if they were
conditional uses they would have a better handle on them.
Mayor Campbell requested that Mr. Barcinski be asked to
place this on the next Planning and Zoning Board workshop.
Mr. Bird stated his concern is that they seem to grandfather
property because of what the original use of the property was. He feels
they should be able to interfere with certain property, make it go back
through some process to be upgraded and be an enhancement to the com-
munity. Upon question by Mr. Bird as to whether a conditional use could
be used for body shops, used car lots, etc., and whether that con-
ditional use could run only with the license holder as opposed to the
property, the City Attorney advised he does not think you can make a
conditional use approval tied to the license holder or lessee. However,
there is the potential of making the approval limited to a time frame.
Mr. Bird asked that Mrs. Horenburger, in addition to her
request, have staff investigate some manner by which they can get these
conditional uses to reappear before the City periodically so they can
evaluate whether or not they are still appropriate. Mrs. Horenburger
agreed to Mr. Bird's request.
5.b.4. Mr. Jackel stated that on tonight's agenda there is an item
regarding $22,000 to wire the City Marina; he considers this a waste of
money in that something happened two years ago which he feels was care-
lessness. He requested that the City Manager give Council the complete
results of his investigation and recommendation at next week's workshop
meeting.
5.b.5. Mayor Campbell stated Council received a request from the
Palm Beach County Municipal League with regard to the Fair Share Con-
tributions For Road Improvements Ordinances. He suggested that staff be
directed to go ahead and prepare a resolution and have it on the consent
agenda in two weeks.
5.b.6. Mayor Campbell presented a proclamation proclaiming January
1985, as "National Volunteer Blood Donor Month".
5.b.7. Mayor Campbell presented a proclamation proclaiming January
1985, as "Arbor Month".
Mr. Bird stated that during the Delray Affair the City buys
trees wholesale and sells them for cost to the citizens. He suggested
that if they want to recognize Arbor Month they should do the same
thing.
Mr. Bird moved that the City buy a quantity of trees, equal
to what they normally buy, make them available to the citizens at our
cost and encourage people to plant a tree for Arbor Month, seconded by
Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird -
Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes;
Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
5.b.8. Mayor Campbell read a proclamation proclaiming January 15th
as "Martin Luther King Day". Mayor Campbell suggested that this proc-
lamation be presented to the Delray Beach Voters' League.
5.b.9. Mayor Campbell read a proclamation congratulating City
employee Robert DeSisto on his outstanding accomplishment in receiving
the highest score of all operators on the State-wide Florida Class B
Water Treatment Plant Operators Exam. Mayor Campbell presented Mr.
DeSisto with the proclamation and also a plaque awarding him a Certif-
icate of Merit.
5.c.1. The City Attorney advised Council was furnished tonight a
copy of Resolution No. 10-85 which arose from their controversy with a
portion of N.W. 9th Avenue. This will strengthen the City's position
that it is in fact a dedicated public road and will authorize the City
to record a survey of that area in the public records of Palm Beach

Mr. Jackel moved for approval of the Consent Agenda, as
modified, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
REGULAR AGENDA
40.a. (Item 37) Appropriation of Funds - "Main Street" Pro~ram. Coun-
cil is to consider authorizing appropriation of funds in the amount of
$18,000 to come from the General Fund Contingency to finance the "Main
Street" program.
The City Attorney stated this is a three year program;
although everything would be subject to budget, Council will be com-
mencing an operation that has that extended period of time. He feels
that Council needs to be aware that the funding may be more than $18,000
and that they may need to contribute the other portion which the DDA may
or may not be able to contribute in the future.
Mr. Jackel stated, if the DDA is not able to come through
because of certain legalities, he would hope that the difference of
$18,000 would be picked up by the Atlantic Avenue Association, the
Chamber of Commerce and any other organization which cares to con-
tribute, not the City.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, Ms. Barbara Smith, member
of the Atlantic Avenue Task Force, stated that the Board will be doing
the interviews for the manager position. They will need a formal rat-
ification by Council of a Board very shortly.
- 11 - 1/15/85
Mr. Bird questioned if the Board would operate as an agency
like the Library, i.e., they would submit a budget to Council which
would be ratified and would be their authorization to expend the funds.
The City Attorney stated, basically, this is a transfer of
funds to them. It will not be an employee of the City, it will be in
the nature of a not-for-profit corporation that would be hiring their
own employee and the City would be providing them some funding.
Mr. Jackel moved to appropriate $18,000 from the General
Fund. Contingency to be spent towards the "Main Street" program, for the
first year, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted
as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes;
Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a
5 to 0 vote.
40.b. (Item 29) Vehicles for Parks and Recreation Department. Council
is to consider award of contracts to the following low bidders with
funds to come from the Parks and Recreation 1984/85 budget:
Vendor Item Qty Price
Miller Dodge 1985 15-passenger vans 2 $24,806.60
Southeast Auto 1984 Mercury Marquis 1 8,000.00
$32,806.60
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Manager clarified
that the Mercury Marquis is a mid-size car.
Mr. Bird moved to award contracts to Miller Dodge and South-
east Auto with funds to come from the Parks and Recreation 1984/85
budget, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr.
Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5
to 0 vote.
41. Presentation relative to Council consideration of plans for
Police Facility.
Mr. Marion Varner, Consultant for the Police Facility,
stated in order to meet the time constraints on the part of the ar-
chitect, he agreed to produce an interim report in sufficient time to
allow the architects to commence and complete the feasibility study.
The final report is almost ready and will be delivered to Council by the
end of this month; it will describe in more detail how they arrived at
some of their decisions. Mr. Varner outlined what the final report will
contain.
Mr. Varner stated after he completed his report the ar-
chitect sent him copies of his concept plans; he did a rework of those
plans and the area is now reduced to 36,000 square feet. He stated he
feels as the plan develops in the next phase, which would not be until
after the bond issue, there will be minor adjustments. However, in his
opinion, if the building is reduced materially from this point the
saving would be relatively small and if the reduction is too great it
could definitely hamper the function of the building and its long range
projections.
Mr. Di~by Bridges, architect, stated that at Council's last
meeting they decided to go with the new site; they still feel the Atlan-
tic Avenue site is the best one. Mr. Bridges presented plans of the
proposed building, explained to Council where each department will be
within the building so as to be easily accessibile to the public, and
what the building materials will be. They feel the design of the build-
ing has a pleasing look about it, but will also look authoritative and
secure. Mr. Bridges stated that police facilities are highly spe-
cialized and explained the protection measures they have taken through-
out the building. The cost of the building will be $3,968,000; for the
City to have its own communication center at 800 megahertz, which most
likely they would be forced to do, would cost between $600,000 and
$800,000. This would bring the total cost of the building to $3,968,000
plus $800,000 and then whatever it would cost to float the bonds and the
internal work; a total cost of $5,000,000 should cover everything.
- 12 - 1/15/85
Upon question by Mr. Bird, Mr. Bridges stated there have
been provisions made for the building to function with its own self-
sufficient power; the emergency generator and wiring are included in the
price.
Mr. Varner stated in the final report there will be a sep-
arate chapter on communications problems. It is his recommendation, and
that of their communications consultant, that Delray should have their
own dispatch center rather than continue depending on the CDC. Whether
or not the City decides to do this, they have provided in the building
the space that would be required for a complete communication dispatch
center; it could also be used as a disaster center if they remain with
CDC.
Mr. Bird questioned, if they were to review the plans and
next week they determined a need to change the scope of the building or
include something, could they make a motion on the 29th as to a dollar
amount for the bond issue specifying its use, general location and have
it on the ballot even though they do not have finished architectural
drawings. The City Attorney stated they could; however, they would have
to make it relatively specific.
Mr. Bird suggested to Council for their consideration that
they include the communications equipment, make sure they have the
figures firmly in hand and make the motion in the resolution, which will
establish the wording on the ballot, as a dollar motion instead of an
incorporation of a specific plan.
The City Attorney advised the one caveat to that would be
that they would not be permitted to authorize a general obligation bond
today or on the 29th for an amount more than what they know the building
will cost; they would have to be close to the amount of money.
Mayor Campbell commended Mr. Bridges and his staff on the
job they have done and felt the building is a very impressive facility.
He also thanked Mr. Varner for his help and assistance in this project.
43. Appeal to Decision of Community Appearance Board - Atlas
Transmissions. Council is to consider an appeal of the CAB decision
regarding the Atlas Transmissions building at 102 S.E. 5th Avenue.
Mr. William Empke Jr., owner of Atlas Transmissions, stated
when his plans were first presented to the City they were turned down as
the back of the building could not be used for parking. He had an
architect redesign the plan which was approved by the Planning and
Zoning Board; it was then presented before the Community Appearance
Board and turned down.
Mr. Terry Lee, member of the CAB, stated this project was
presented twice to the CAB and was turned down both times; they felt a
metal building was not in keeping with an area of the City they are
trying to upgrade.
Mr. Empke stated it was his understanding the CAB denied his
plans the first time because of the color and because they did not want
doors, they wanted louvers put over the doors. He contacted the City
Manager's office and was told that if he talked to Mr. Bridges he would
be told some things to do. Mr. Bridges asked him if he would agree to
putting the roof all round the building and louvers over the doors; he
would then talk to the Board to see if they would accept those mod-
ifications. The second time the plans were brought before the CAB Mr.
Bridges was not there to explain to the Board what the situation was and
the plans were denied again. He feels he should have been told he could
not construct a metal building in that area when he first came to the
City with his plans.
Mayor Campbell stated he feels it would be helpful if the
City Attorney prepared a definitive memorandum so they know the degree
to which they may go in imposing our standards on applicants.
- 13 - 1/15/85
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Attorney stated it
is not a consideration in the ordinance that an application be rejected
just because of the building material. The grounds for rejection need
to be specifically stated in the ordinance, the Board cannot be sub-
jective and they need to explicate the exact reasons for their decision.
Mr. Bird stated he is going to request that the City At-
torney meet with the CAB as he feels it is important that the Board
exercises their authority in accordance with the ordinance. Mr. Bird
stated he is going to recommend that Council move Community Appearance
Board consideration prior to Planning and Zoning Board approval. This
situation occurs frequently where the P&Z Board approves a project, it
then goes to the CAB and they turn the plans down for aesthetic reasons.
Mr. Bird moved that Council formally direct the Administra-
tion to come forth with a plan, as rapidly as possible, which will
resequence the process, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon roll call Council
voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel -
Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed
with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call, Mr. Bird stated perhaps they should also
consider preliminary CAB in the same manner they have preliminary P&Z
and formally inform the CAB they feel it would be a good thing for them
to do.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mrs. Horenburger stated there was a comment made earlier
about an ordinance which was cited by the CAB during their delibera-
tions; she would like to hear that ordinance.
Mr. Bird suggested that they postpone this item until 7:00
P.M. next Tuesday as he would like to listen to the tape of both Mr.
Empke's appearances before the CAB to find out what he was told by the
Board. This would give him the opportunity to (1) study the information
Mrs. Finst is about to give them and (2) study the record and they can
then make a final judgment next week.
Alice Finst, member of the CAB, quoted from the section of
the ordinance on which they based their decision.
Mr. Bird moved that they postpone this item until next
Tuesday at 7:00 P.M., seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr.
Jackel - 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. Weatherspoon agreed with Mr. Bird's comments and stated
he feels they do need to modify the ordinances to be more specific.
Mr. Jackel stated he feels what Mr. Empke intends to con-
struct will not benefit the area and that the CAB's decision was the
correct one.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
44. Appointments - Code Enforcement Board. Council is to con-
sider the appointments of three regular and four alternate members to
the Code Enforcement Board to terms ending January 14, 1988.
Mrs. Horenburger moved that Mrs. Patricia Saunders and Mr.
Donald Elliot be reappointed as regular members, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Plum,
Mr. Wallin and Mr. Conversano be reappointed as alternate members, and
that Mr. McDonald be moved from an alternate member to a regular member,
seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon -
Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
- 14 - 1/15/85
45. Appointments - Internal Audit Committee. Council is to
consider the appointments of one regular member to the IAC to a term
ending April 27, 1985 and two alternate members to terms ending April
27, 1985 and April 27, 1986.
Mr. Bird requested that they postpone this item pending
receipt of some resumes.
46. Comprehensive Liability Insurance. Council is to consider
approval of and authorization to enter into an agreement with Northwest
Insurance Company of Louisiana relative to the City's previous com-
prehensive liability insurance coverage and to authorize expenditure, as
additional premium, an amount not to exceed $11,500 for this purpose.
Approval is recommended.
The City Attorney stated this item is basically for ratifica-
tion of this agreement. By accepting this agreement it would require
the City to contribute into the plan and abide by the terms and con-
ditions.
Mr. Bird moved to approve and authorize entering into an
agreement with Northwest Insurance Company of Louisiana, with funds to
come from the Self Insured Retention Fund, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Upon
roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger -
Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes.
Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
47. Water/Sewer Consulting Engineers. Council is to consider
short listing for potential consulting engineers for future presenta-
tions.
Hr. Bird moved that they accept the recommendation of the
short list which was provided by Mr. Pontek: Russell & Axon, CH2M Hill
and Post Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc.
Mrs. Horenburger requested that they add the firm of James
M. Montgomery.
Mr. Bird amended his motion to include James M. Montgomery.
Mr. Jackel requested that they also add the firm of Barker,
Osha and Anderson.
Mr. Bird suggested if they are going to add a fifth name
they should rate those five and the four with the most votes will be the
firms on the short list.
The City Attorney advised once Council has established the
four firms they will be in no particular order; they will be the four
invited to come and make a presentation. Council should sign their
names on the paper and they will be made part of the record.
Mayor Campbell announced that while the ballots are being
counted they will proceed to the next item.
48. Recreational Impact Fees. Council is to consider evaluating
the present proposed divisions of the City.
The City Manager stated this item is on the agenda at Coun-
cil's request; they need to decide whether or not they wish to divide
the City into sections.
Mayor Campbell questioned if they could look at the ordi-
nance, the way it is presently structured, and find out if it would be
possible not to have any regional proposals; most of the proposals are
City-wide and they could limit their efforts to City endeavors.
The City Manager stated he is sure they could; however, the
ordinance states "within reasonable proximity" to where the funds are
received.
- 15 - 1/15/85
Mr. Bird stated when Council developed the amount of money
which created the impact fee of $500, they included regional facilities
within that gross dollar total.
The City Attorney stated one of the reasons for this dis-
tricting concept is that in Palm Beach County's Fair Share Road Impact
Fee case and Broward County's Park case they utilized a zoning concept
as a guideline.
Mayor Campbell suggested it would be easier to keep track of
things if they were to prepare a list which had City-wide application,
rather than get into regionalism; they can then use the General Budget
area funds, if it is necessary, to go into a local park.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Attorney advised
they already have a list which was started in 1981; they are presently
in the process of officially revising it and making sure the figures are
correct.
Mr. Bird stated, since they have established a computer
program and they are currently keeping track of money in districts, they
should keep it in regions if it is in any way going to protect them
legally from challenge. This would also give them an opportunity to
start on some regional projects which are overdue to be done and some
which they are already committed to.
Mr. Bird moved that the community be divided along the lines
from which we are already collecting data, which would be 5 zones, and
that staff be directed to bring a list of projects within those areas,
or City-wide, which they may consider next week, seconded by Mr.
Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes;
Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor
Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
47. Mayor Campbell announced that the four firms which will be
invited to make a presentation before Council are: Post Buckley, Schuh
and Jernigan, Inc., Russell & Axon, CH2M Hill and James M. Montgomery.
Mr. Bird moved that the four firms for the short list are as
stated by Mayor Campbell, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr.
Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
49.a. (Item 31) Annexation Request - North of Allen Avenue~ if extended

Mr. Jackel stated he read Mr. McDaniel's memorandum and
concurs with his comments; he considers this spot zoning and feels it
would be easier to change the ordinance on non-conforming uses.
- 16 - 1/15/85
Mayor Campbell stated he disagreed with Mr. McDaniel's memo.
However, he would ask that the Planning and Zoning Board address the
question of conditional use and the timing factor and request an ordi-
nance change.

authorize exemptions for identification and directional signs for City
facilities and public purpose organizations, is before Council for
consideration on First Reading. If passed, Public Hearing will be held
January 29th.
The City Attorney advised Council has two ordinances before
them; an alternative ordinance was distributed this evening. This item
arises from Council's direction to staff to develop an ordinance in
conformity with the motion which was adopted that the City Manager be
given certain authority to approve of signs that deal with City facil-
ities. The ordinance provided in Council's agenda package provides only
for City Manager approval of identification or directional signs.
Subsequent discussions with the City's licensees have indicated that
there are additional problems. The alternative ordinance would permit
the City Manager to approve of signs located on City property or rights-
of-way which deal with City facilities; however, they need not neces-
sarily be identification or directional signs.

Jackel - Yes; Mr. Weatherspoon - No; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 3 to 2 vote.
- 23 - 1/15/85
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Jackel commented there is a typographical error in the
first "Whereas" clause; it should refer to the incorporated area of the
City, not unincorporated.
Mr. Weatherspoon stated he cannot see the advantage of
adopting this ordinance and intends to vote against it.
Mr. Bird stated he cannot see a substantive change from the
ordinance which was forwarded to the Attorney General and the ordinance
before Council tonight. He feels they took the appropriate action
before the Legislative Delegation in asking them to amend the State
Statute. Until the Attorney General's opinion is tested in court and
reversed, his understanding is that that is the law.
Mayor Campbell stated in his opinion this ordinance has
changed sufficiently enough so as not to come under the purview of the
Attorney General's opinion.
The City Attorney stated, for the record, that Council needs
to elucidate that in the drafting of this ordinance the basis of it came
under those provisions in Chapter 553, part 6, which allows more strin-
gent codes to be adopted by local governments. Further, they have also
made a modification to the substantive portion, that the requirements of
interior door widths only apply to those floors of the dwelling units
which are otherwise accessible from ground floor level, by ramp or by
elevator. A court could construe this to not be a sufficient change;
however, based upon what Council's directon to staff has been, this was
drafted as their best effort to adopt a door width increase.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
63. Ordinance No. 15-85 - Amending Code - Noise Control. Ordi-
