There are now approximately 24 million dollars in our coffers so that we
may begin work on the projects which were part of the bond resolution.
5.c.2. The City Attorney advised Council has been furnished a
memorandum which deals with the purchase of some computers which were in
the budget for the City Attorney's Office. Although this is a budgeted
line item, he is recommending that Council go with the second lowest
bidder for the hardware and software on the basis that they are able to
deliver basically tomorrow versus a delivery date of some time in Jan-
uary. Further, the consultant, who is going to put them on line and do
those things necessary to make the computers applicable to the depart-
ment, is only available through the end of November. With Council's
motion, he would recommend that they authorize the purchase of the hard-
ware and software for the City Attorney's Office from Four International
in the amount of $16,393, funding to come from the City Attorney's
approved budget.
Mr. Bird moved to accept the recommendations of the City
Attorney's Office and award a contract for computer services, seconded
by Mr. Weatherspoon. Said motion passed unanimously.

memorandum relative to filling the now open second Assistant City Attor-

from Fort Lauderdale, as the new second Assistant City Attorney to be
effective November 14, 1984, at the salary and under the terms and
conditions of employment as set forth in his memorandum to Council dated
November 12, 1984.
Mr. Bird moved to ratify the recommendation of the City
Attorney, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Said motion passed unanimously.
5.d.1. The City Manager stated soon after arriving in Delray Beach
he found that the Finance Department was heavily involved in a program
and were pursuing what is known professionally as a Certificate of
Conformance. This is a highly prized award and a tribute to the com-
munity if a City is able to achieve the Certificate of Conformance.
They have been advised by the Governmental Finance Officers Association
that the City of Delray Beach has been awarded a Certificate of Con-
formance for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 1983. He is extremely proud and pleased that

Robert Chapin requesting that the discussion of the Lavers project be

orandum relative to the South County Drug Abuse Foundation. It has been
past practice to fund this organization and this year they are request-
ing $10,000. He is recommending, if Council wishes to continue funding
the Foundation, that they award $8,000 from the Council contingency
fund.
Mr. Bird moved to authorize execution of an agreement with
the South County Drug Abuse Foundation in the amount of $8,000, seconded
by Mr. Jackel. Said motion passed unanimously.
5.d.4. The City Manager advised in September Council received a
request from the Community Action Commission relative to their funding.
They were funded for the month of October and were told that at the end
of October staff would have a report indicating the amount of funds
which would be in reserve. The Community Action Commission is request-
ing $30,000.
Mr. Huddleston reported that at the end of the fiscal year
they had a favorable variance of approximately $800,000 over the antic-
ipated surplus.
Mr. Bird moved that the funding for the CAC be taken from
the unbudgeted reserve of last year, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said
motion passed unanimously.
5.d.5. The City Manager requested that Item 19 be removed from the
Consent Agenda and placed on the Regular Agenda.
5.d.6. The City Manager stated his office and the City Attorney's
Office have been in the negotiation process with Mr. Code House for the
lease of the golf facility.
The City Attorney stated they are in the latter stages of
negotiation and have moved from the draft agreement to another draft
which has been furnished Council this evening. However, there are still
some major unresolved matters set forth in the agreement; not the least
of which is the bonding and insurance requirements. Most of the terms
and conditions have been agreed upon and some counter proposals which
Mr. House and his attorney made have been accommodated and included in
some form in the draft. The City Attorney outlined some of the tech-
nical matters which are of most concern to him and are unresolved.
- 2 - 11/13/84
The City Manager stated they do not want to give Council and
Mr. House a contract that could be challenged as having a weakness in
it. Philosophically, they have no concern with the contract; however,
they do have a concern from a legal standpoint.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, the City Attorney stated
they are going to continue to work on the problems. One of the most
serious is structuring a security for the City and making the contract a
doable thing.
The City Manager stated they have a special meeting sched-
uled next week before the workshop meeting and he would hope they could
get their concerns resolved and move forward.
Mr. Bird suggested they get a list from staff of the areas
where there is specific disagreement and some indication as to whether
it is (a) a legal concern or (b) they do not have a meeting of the
minds.
Mayor Campbell requested that this be placed on next week's
agenda for further discussion.
5.d.7. The City Manager requested that Item 17 be removed from the
Consent Agenda and placed on the Regular Agenda to be discussed with
Items 11 and 12.
6. With regard to Item 36, Mayor Campbell stated he has made a
promise to the Pension Board that this ordinance would go back to them
as they did not see the final draft. They have scheduled a meeting to
be held on Friday and he would like this ordinance postponed until the
next regular meeting.
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the agenda with the exception
of Item 17 to be removed from the Consent Agenda and placed on the
Regular Agenda to follow Item 12, Item 19 to be removed from the Consent
Agenda and placed as first item on the Regular Agenda and Item 36 to be
deleted from the Regular Agenda, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said motion
passed unanimously.

Plaza. Council is to consider a request for conditional use and site
plan approval to allow a 54,712 square foot office center with drive-in
bank at Lake Ida Professional Plaza, located at the northwest corner of
Congress Avenue and Lake Ida Road. This was approved 7-0 by the Plan-
ning and Zoning Board, subject to the following conditions:
(1) Engineering Division's memorandum of August 20,
1984;
(2) That provision for sanitary sewer be made at the
time of platting in accordance with the Director
of Public Utilities' memorandum of August 14,
1984;
(3) That the only conditional use to be permitted
hereunder is a drive-in facility for the bank;
(4) That all improvements be completed in accordance
with the approved plans; and
(5) That the time limitation of this approval be
eighteen (18) months pursuant to Sections
30-21(E) and 30-22(E) of the Zoning Code.
Mr. Jackel stated when he went to the Planning Department to
look at this site plan and asked for the traffic study he was told it
had not been done. However, on the plan it stated the study would be
done upon submission of the plat; he would like to see the traffic study
before they approve the plat.
- 6 - 11/13/84
Mayor Campbell advised the developer cannot do any substan-
tial building before the plat is approved; it is a requirement of the
plat that the traffic study be done.
Mr. Church, City Engineer, stated when they receive an
application for a development of this size he has his staff look at it
from a traffic point of view. They do an analysis of the traffic which
would be generated and review closely the details of the internal cir-
culation and the outside portion. They realized the size of this proj-
ect did not warrant the traffic impact analysis; there may be some
turning lanes needed off-site and this could be put together with the
final plat.
Upon question by Mr. Jackel as to how someone exiting from
either entrance of this proposed site will turn left, Mr. Church advised
they will not be allowed to make a left turn.
Mrs. Glen Strickland, Rainberry Estates, stated there are
457 planned homes in this subdivision and one entrance 500 feet from the
intersection of Congress Avenue and Lake Ida Road. She feels there
should be some more on-site observations made as to the traffic situa-
tion, especially in the mornings.
Mr. Ro~er Saberson, representing the developer, advised they
have no objection to a right turn only at that location.
Mayor Campbell stated he has consistently requested that
there be a solid tree line separating any type of commercial development
from a residential development so as to protect the properties.
Mr. Saberson stated they would be willing to do whatever the
City prefers.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the conditional use and site plan
approval with the addition of the landscape requirements reiterated by
Mayor Campbell, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Said motion passed unan-
imously.

northwest corner of Linton Boulevard and U.S. 1 for the sale of Christ-
mas trees from November 14th through December 31, 1984. Approval is
recommended.
The City Manager stated there have been some complaints from
citizens objecting to the location of the tent. Staff is recommending
that Council approve this request subject to the applicant and the City
Engineer working out the ingress and egress procedures at the site.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the request subject to the ap-
plicant and the City Engineer working out the ingress and egress pro-
cedures, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said motion passed unanimously.
30. Appointment - Beautification Committee. Council is to
consider the appointment of Mrs. Marjorie Ott as a member of the Beaut-
ification Committee during 1984/85. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Bird moved to appoint Mrs. Marjorie Ott as a member of

Mrs. Horenburger suggested an amendment to the motion to
include Mr. Irwin Ives.
Mr. Bird amended his motion to include Mr. Irwin Ives, Mr.
Jackel amended his second. Said motion passed unanimously.
31. Appeal to Decision of Community Appearance Board - Smith
Brothers Film Drop. Council is to consider an appeal of the CAB deci-
sion regarding the size of the sign to be located at Smith Brothers Film
Drop, 202 N.E. 6th Avenue.
Mr. Beril Kruger, representing Smith Brothers, stated they
are requesting a sign which would be 5' x 12' and 20' high (60 sq. ft.);
the sign code would legally allow them 62% sq. ft. They previously had
two signs on the property, approximately the same size they are re-
questing, which were blown down during a storm. They now wish to put up
one sign on the corner and have it the size requested due to the inter-
section. Mr. Kruger. presented a drawing of the proposed sign.
- 11 - 11/13/84
Mrs. Alice Finst, Acting Chairman, CAB, stated the reason
they denied this request was because they felt it was inappropriate and
not in keeping with the rest of the signs permitted in the area.
Mr. Jackel moved to uphold the decision of the Community
Appearance Board, seconded by Mrs. Horenburger. Said motion passed
unanimously.
32. Appeal to Decision of Community Appearance Board - Dr. James
DeGerome. Council is to consider an appeal to a CAB decision relative
to elimination of lettering from sign at Dr. DeGerome's office, 111 N.E.
4th Street.
Dr. James DeGerome stated he applied to have a small sign on
his lawn stating the nature of his profession on the sign. He was told
the sign was approved for its size and height; however, the Board did
not want to have "Gastroenterology and Nutrition" underneath his name.
Mrs. Alice Finst stated the Board looked at this sign in two
ways; one as an advertising instrument and the other for the safety of
the position of the sign. They interpreted the applicant's main occupa-
tion as "Doctor"; they feel to add anything else would be advertising.
The Board is also concerned about the placement of the sign as it would
be hazardous and obstruct the view.
Mr. Jackel stated in this day of specialization he would
like to know what type of doctor he is seeing.
Mrs. Horenburger moved that they not uphold the decision of
the Community Appearance Board in this instance with regard to Dr. James
DeGerome's proposed sign, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon. Said motion
passed unanimously.
Mr. Bird stated he feels it would be helpful, in this kind
of issue, to receive any drawings or backup information with his agenda
package which he receives on a Friday.
The City Manager stated he will take that as being a policy
of Council; when they receive this kind of request they will ask for the
necessary information.
The City Attorney suggested that a copy of the minutes of
this meeting be delivered to the CAB as direction to them from Council;
i.e. that identification of the specialties of members of the medical
profession will be considered acceptable and non-advertising.
33. Ranking of Architects to design new Police Facility. Coun-
cil is to consider rating the following architects and authorizing the
City Administration to negotiate the contract:
a. Schweizer & Associates
b. Robert McDonald & Associates
c. Digby Bridges & Associates
The City Manager stated several weeks ago Council selected
Mr. Marion Varner as the consultant to proceed with the initial design
work and investigation of the new police facility. At the same time,
Council authorized staff to proceed to accept proposals from architects;
the committee evaluated the six applicants and have recommended the
above three. Tonight they have scheduled Council to conduct interviews
with the firms.
Mayor Campbell requested that Schweizer & Associates and
Digby Bridges & Associates leave the Council Chambers at this time.
Mr. Robert McDonald, principal of Robert McDonald & As-
sociates, informed Council of the people who would be involved in this
project if they were to be chosen. He presented charts, drawings and
sketches and explained his firm's background, previous work, the
services they would offer, how they would work with staff and what they
would propose for the new facility.
- 12 - 11/13/84
Mr. McDonald left the Council Chambers at this time.
Mr. Fernando Priato, Vice-President of Schweizer & As-
sociates, introduced Tom Liebschen who is head designer for their West
Palm Beach office and gave a brief history of their firm. He advised
they submitted a design proposal for the Palm Beach Police facility and
were awarded the contract. Mr. Varner, who Council appointed as their
consultant for Delray's police facility, was also the consultant for the
Palm Beach facility and they worked very closely with him in the design
and development of the project.
Mr. Liebschen stated they have established the same project
team who worked on the Palm Beach Police facility and he explained how
they worked with them. He stated they do have the flexibility to do
almost any type of building, they will work closely with staff and come
up with a design which everyone will be proud of. They feel they have
learned quite a few things by having already designed a police facility.
Mr. Priato and Mr. Liebschen left the Council Chambers at
this time.
Mr. Digby Bridges, Digby Bridges, Marsh & Associates, in-
troduced the members of their firm and stated they would work very
closely with the consultant and the City.
Mr. David Pompret, Cost Engineer, stated it is very impor-
tant these days to keep close cost control on buildings. Before anyone
can start drawing he would find out the schedule from the Police Chief
and form a budgetary cost. As the architect gets to the conceptual
drawing stage, he would do a second estimate which is broken down to
give a lot more detail based on what is drawn. The final estimate would
be available prior to the bids going out and any final adjustments could
be made to the drawing so that the City would know if they are still
within their budget.
Mr. Bridges presented some drawings showing the type of
buildings they have designed and the standard of drafts and work they
have produced.
Mr. Roy Case, Architect/Land Planner, stated they feel one
of the most important things in the development of a City is the crea-
tion of public buildings and the police station is an important build-
ing. They feel they can work with the City on a daily basis and, with
their team approach, what will eventually appear as a police station
will be the product of many minds.
The representatives of Digby Bridges, Marsh & Associates
left the Council Chambers at this time.
Upon question by Mayor Campbell, Mr. Marion Varner, Con-
sultant, stated he feels he could work comfortably with any of the three
firms. He has found that most firms he has been related to as a con-
sultant have been receptive to suggestions; the ones that have been the
least receptive have been the very large firms. The three firms being
interviewed do not fall into that category.
The City Attorney advised, as part of the competitive nego-
tiations act, Council needs to rank the firms one, two and three for-
mally at this time. Staff would then be directed to negotiate a con-
tract, if possible, with the number one ranked firm. If they are going
to use the written ranking method Council should sign their names on the
paper and it will be made part of the written record.
Mayor Campbell announced that while the ballots are being
counted they will proceed to the next item.
34. Ordinance No. 55-84 - Zoning Ordinance Amendment - Special
Setback Requirements. Ordinance No. 55-84, amending Chapter 30 "Zoning"

amending Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances to require site

square feet or greater, is before Council for consideration on First
Reading. If passed, Public Hearing will be held November 27th.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 98-84:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 30 "ZONING", OF THE CODE
OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, BY
AMENDING SECTION 30-13 "CBD (CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT)"
(A) "PURPOSE" TO ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT OF APPROVAL BY
THE DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF ALL PLANS FOR NEW
CONSTRUCTION AND ADDITIONS IN THE CBD (CENTRAL BUSINESS
DISTRICT) AND TO ADD PROVISIONS REQUIRING SITE PLAN
APPROVAL FOR ALL NEW CONSTRUCTION AND ADDITIONS IN THE
CBD (CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT) WHICH ARE 3,000 SQUARE
FEET OR GREATER AND PROVIDING FOR NOTIFICATION TO THE
DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY; PROVIDING A SAVING
CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTING DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 98-84 on
First Reading, seconded by Mr. Weatherspoon.
Mr. Weatherspoon questioned why they need this ordinance.
Mrs. Horenburger stated it is her understanding that this is
one of the few areas in the City which is not subject to site plan
review and approval by the Planning and Zoning Board. The DDA, Atlantic
Avenue Association and the Chamber of Commerce do not review these plans
for the technicalities of the plans. She suggested what might be con-
sidered is to not mandate review by all the City boards but to mandate
that when a site plan comes to the City and is being reviewed by the P&Z
Board that all the other boards be notified and they could send a rep-
resentative to that meeting.
Mr. Bird stated the other issue is that, in evaluating the
experience of various members from various boards, they probably look
for something different by way of experience in a P&Z Board member than
in some of the other boards. He would agree with Mrs. Horenburger's
suggestion and feels that it would be a minor change to clarify the
point about multiple review. If they are going to mandate that the P&Z
Board review the site plans, then other agencies should conduct their
review simultaneously.
The City Attorney advised, if that is Council's consensus,
then they may wish to change the wording in the ordinance to indicate
that if another board does have anything to recommend, it should go to
the P&Z Board and not Council level.
Dr. Carl Carter, Chairman of the DDA, stated to his know-
ledge site plans are reviewed by all departments in the City; however,
there is not a citizens' board which reviews them. He feels that devel-
opers will be inhibited from building downtown if, in addition to coming
before the DDA and complying with the City's codes, they also have to go
through all the City's boards. The DDA feels that the City's ordinances
and staff review should be enough to ensure compliance.
Mr. Bird stated that maybe they should not make the require-
ments any more stringent for the DDA. They use 5,000 square feet else-
where and perhaps it would be appropriate here.
Mr. Tom Lynch, member of the Atlantic Avenue Task Force,
stated they have been meeting for several months and hope to be finished
by next month. They are requesting that Council defer this motion until
they are ready as some of their ideas will refer to code enforcement,
etc.
- 15 - 11/13/84
Mrs. Horenburger stated they have to agree that the P&Z
Board will or will not review site plans all over the City.
Mr. Jackel stated he agrees with Mrs. Horenburger and also
with Mr. Bird's suggestion that it should be 5,000 square feet.
Mr. Bird recommended that Ordinance No. 98-84 be amended in
the caption to replace the figure 3,000 square feet with 5,000 square
feet and also that the body, under Section 1., subparagraph (A), second
paragraph be amended. In addition, that it be passed with the under-
standing that staff will correct the language with regard to the se-
quence of approvals and to whom input should be made.
The City Attorney advised if Council intends to adopt this
ordinance on First Reading he will have to reread the caption as re-
vised.
The City Attorney read the amended caption of Ordinance No.

tion, Ltd. It will grant them a C.O. in advance of doing some screening
of air conditioning. They are agreeing by this contract to do so and

codes.

ments, funds to come from the 1983 Water & Sewer Revenue Bonds, seconded

Mr. Weatherspoon stated, with regard to the water bills,
citizens are now asked to mail their bills to West Palm Beach. He
questioned why they have this new procedure.
The City Manager stated they have a new lock box program
which Council approved in the agreement with Barnett Bank. It saves the
City two to three days as the bills are mailed directly to the bank and
credited the moment the check gets there. However, this does not pre-
vent people from paying their bills at City Hall.
Mayor Campbell declared the meeting adjourned at 10:00 P.M.
