FEBRUARY 1~ 198'5'
A Special Meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was called to order by Mayor Doak S. Campbell in the
Council Chambers at City Hall at 4:35 P.M., Friday, February 1, 1985.
Roll call showed:
Present - Council Member Malcolm T. Bird
Council Member Marie Horenburger
Council Member Arthur Jackel
Council Member Jimmy Weatherspoon
Mayor Doak S. Campbell
Absent - None
Also present were - City Manager James L. Pennington, and
City Attorney Herbert W.A. Thiele.
Mayor Campbell called the meeting to order and announced
that this meeting has been called for the purpose of (1) ranking of
Engineers for consulting services for City's combined utility system.
1. Mayor Campbell stated that they are here to make a final
selection and suggested that each Council Member rank by order of pref-
erence the four firms who have appeared before Council. The top ranked
firm on each list will receive three votes, the second two votes and the
third one vote. The votes will be tallied and the firm with the most
votes will be their final selection. Mr. Jackel suggested (1) that the
contract include a phrase stating that that company will not engage in
private work within the City limits of Delray Beach; and (2) that they
include a clause relating to nonperformance or unsatisfactory perform-
ance. The City Attorney advised that they could add a provision regard-
ing termination with 60 days notice. However, he has a problem with the
other suggestion. He would prefer a provision which states something to
the effect that the company should not institute anything which they are
aware would be a conflict of interest, and if they are currently engaged
in representing other things within the City, that they be required to
eliminate the conflict if one arises during the course of this contract.
Council concurred.
Council members voted at this time. The City Attorney
advised that these votes will become a part of the minutes. (See at-
tached). The results were as follows:
** #1 Post, Buckley #2 James Montgomery
#3 Russell & Axon
During the tallying of the votes, Mayor Campbell noted that
there is a special meeting and workshop scheduled for next Tuesday which
he and another Council member will be unable to attend. The City At-
torney advised that Council can convene, declare a lack of quorum and
continue the meeting over to a certain date and time without adver-
tising. It was the consensus of Council to go ahead with the meetings
as scheduled.
At this time Mayor Cambell announced the results of the
vote.
Mrs. Horengburger moved to set the ranking as (1) Post
Buckley, (2) James Montgomery, and (3) Russell & Axon and to direct the
City Administration to contact the #1 party on the list and go through
the list for a general contractual arrangement and to get back to Coun-
cil, 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.
** Corrected to reflect order of ranking.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 4:55 P.M.
