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 5:05 P.M., Wednesday, November 27,
1985.
1. Roll call showed:
Present - Council Member Malcolm T. Bird
Council Member Marie Horenburger
Council Member Jimmy Weatherspoon
Mayor Doak S. Campbell
Absent - Council Member Arthur Jackel
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) considering approval
of and authorization to submit City position statement regarding site of
proposed Courthouse for South Palm Beach County in downtown Delray
Beach.
1. Mayor Campbell advised Mr. Bird had given Council a letter the
other evening for consideration. He advised he believes the letter
clearly states the City's position; other than two minor questions with
regard to the artistic merit of the letter, he thought it was very good.
Mayor Campbell reported he had also received a copy of an unsolicited
letter from David Bludworth addressed to Ken Adams on this subject and
it was very much appreciated.
Mr. Bird commented there were some minor language corrections
in the first paragraph on page 1; page 3, item D., he believed they
should add "and approved by the FAA"; he struck all of the last sentence
on page 4 in the paragraph which began "Other questions were raised by
the County staff ....... "and in the next paragraph everything was struck
after the date of December 9, 1985.
Mr. Bird stated he also had a question on page 2, subparagraph
B, with regard to sizing and this needs to be addressed. He also had
some concern with the subject of parking; the County would prefer to use
a factor of five per 1,000 in computing the parking (referring to page
3, paragraph G). On page 4, paragraph F, there was some wording change
which the Planning Director wanted incorporated which would show the
City would adopt this plan being a Community Redevelopment Agency plan
and amend the Land Use Plan to be consistent with it by the end of 1986
instead of "as soon as possible".
Mayor Campbell recommended that on page 3, the language should
read "In summary, all of the questions posed by the commissioners have
been addressed satisfactorily".
Upon question, Mayor Campbell asked that a copy of the amended
letter be delivered to him as he will be seeing one of the commissioners
on Saturday.
Mr. Bird moved that the letter, as amended, be drafted for the
Mayor's signature with the addition of a paragraph stating that it was
approved by Council this date and the vote, and that the Mayor was
directed to sign the letter and deliver it to the Board of County
Commissioners, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Upon roll call Council
voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Horenburger - Yes; Mr. Weather-
spoon - Yes; Mayor Campbell - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0
vote.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 5:25 P.M.
