01-12-82 JANUARY 12, 1982
A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 7:00 P.M., Tuesday,
January 12, 1982, with Vice-Mayor James H. Scheifley, presiding and City
Manager Robert H. Fisk, City Attorney Herbert W.A. Thiele, and Council
members Charlotte G. Durante, Leo A. Blair, and Malcolm T. Bird, pre-
sent. Mayor Weekes was on vacation.
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend McGray, Calvary
~ible Baptist Church.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
3.a. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the regular
meetings of December 8, 1981 and December 15, 1981 and the special
meeting of December 28, 1981, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed
unanimously.
3.b. Mrs. Betty Spalding gave a presentation on behalf of her
mother, Mary Machek, a resident of Homewood Boulevard. She advised that
the residents there are opposed to the realignment of Homewood Boulevard
and gave an outline of their reasons and suggestions as follows: (1) If
Homewood Boulevard is realigned, the residents of Woodlake will not get
their main entrance on W. Atlantic Avenue; therefore, there will only be
one entrance and it will be on Homewood Boulevard. Woodlake residents
feel the need for two entrances. (2) The residents on Homewood Boule-
vard would also like to see Woodlake have two entrances because they
feel it would cut down the traffic on Homewood Boulevard by not having
all of Woodlake using Homewood Boulevard as their entrance and exit.
(3) Many people feel that a synchronized traffic light system could be
used, putting the secondary light at Homewood Boulevard and leaving the
main light at the intersection of High Point and Woodlake. (4) Instead
of veering Homewood Boulevard to the west and buying the land, they
suggest veering it to the east on land that the City already owns, the
edge of the golf course, and go around the east side of WDBF instead of
the west side; there would be far less expense that way because the City
would not have to buy land. (5) Another suggestion is to move the main
light to Homewood Boulevard as there is more traffic on Homewood Boule-
vard than traffic out of High Point. (6) The residents of Lago Del Rey
have been under the impression that Homewood Boulevard was eventually
going to be a two-laned boulevard. Those residents would like the City
to consider that idea, again with the main intersection light being at
Homewood Boulevard and W. Atlantic Avenue with maybe a caution light and
a turn lane at High Point. Mrs. Spalding presented Council with a
petition with 105 signatures, signed by people living on or near Home-
wood Boulevard; the petition requests that City Council reopen this
issue for discussion.
Mr. Scheifley explained the background which led to the
deletion of the road connection from Woodlake Section C to Atlantic
Avenue. Mrs. Durante noted that at last week's workshop meeting, they
referred this entire matter to the Planning and Zoning Board to start
from scratch; therefore, the matter is being reconsidered as requested
by the petitioners. She recommended that they have Mrs. Spalding's
presentation transcribed verbally and sent to the Planning and Zoning
Board for consideration.
Mr. Fred Kanter, on behalf of Woodlake residents, echoed
Mrs. Spalding's concerns and added that when they, as homeowners, bought
in Woodlake, they were promised an entrance on Atlantic Avenue and were
told that the entrance on Homewood Boulevard would be a secondary one.
They feel that within the north side of Woodlake a street could be
opened to directly connect with the traffic light. They also suggest
having a right-turn-only lane on Homewood; this would diffuse the traf-
fic on Homewood Boulevard and also take away the dangerous left turns
made from Homewood Boulevard onto Atlantic Avenue. Another concern is
that if the City goes ahead with the realignment of Homewood Boulevard,
the City will be left with an extremely large pie-shaped piece of land.
There will then be the problem of what to do with that piece, of land.
Mr. Scheifley suggested that Mr. Kanter and other concerned
citizens bring their concerns to the Planning and Zoning Board and the
Engineering Department when the hearings on this issue begin. Upon
question, Mr. McDaniel, Planner, replied that a hearing date has not yet
been set. Mr. Carey advised that it will be set for discussion at one
of their regularly scheduled Planning & Zoning Board workshop meetings.
Mrs. Durante added that there will be a notice published in the Palm
Beach Post.
4.a.1. Mr. Blair requested that they discuss the subject of park
and recreational impact fees at their next workshop meeting. Council
concurred and requested the City Manager to schedule it.
4.b.1. Mrs. Durante stated that the western area of Delray Beach is
growing very rapidly and, to date, they do not have a voting place in
that area. Since they now have a fire station there, she suggests that
they request the Supervisor of Elections to name that fire station as a
voting place. Upon question by Mr. Scheifley, the City Clerk replied
that it cannot be done in time for the March 2, 1982, election.
It was the consensus of Council to accept Mrs. Durante's
suggestion and to direct the Administration to proceed with it.
4.c.1. Mr. Scheifley inquired as to the status of the resolution he
requested regarding parking for Delray Beach residents. The City
Attorney replied that the resolution has not yet been prepared; they are
waiting for additional information from the County Attorney's office.
It will probably be ready for consideration at a special meeting next
Tuesday before the workshop.
4.c.2. Mr. Scheifley stated that no action has been taken in regard
to the two lots, located north of Atlantic Avenue on the first block of
N.W. 5th Avenue, which he brought to Council's attention two months ago;
they are still littered with trash and debris. He is appalled by this
and feels that the management of the Building Inspection Department has
been negligent in not finding a way to resolve these problems.
4.c.3. Mr. Scheifley advised that the City refused to allow the
Gipper to add to their facilities, put in tables and serve drinks in the
rear of their property. It came to his attention today that the Gipper
has done so anyway. The City Attorney replied that his office has
notified the Gipper that if they make use of the new facilities, they
are subject to being cited by the Building Department. Mr. Scheifley
suggested that the Administration keep a close watch on them.
4.c.4. Mr. Scheifley reported on his proposed $650,000 bond issue
to provide for road resurfacing, sidewalks, traffic lights and bicycle
paths. He outlined the following points regarding this proposed bond
issue: (1) it would eliminate future costs to maintain and replace the
streets; (2) the future residents of Delray Beach would be sharing in
the cost of the improvements; this is a very small bond issue which
would cost the average taxpayer about $3 to $5 perY~-h; (3) it has
been mentioned that the $650,000 issue will cost a total of $2,000,000
with interest; that is true, however, in applying the same principles, a
$3,000,000 issue would cost at least $10,000,000 with interest; (4) the
present traffic signals do not meet current standards; (5) when the
$3,000,000 bond issue came up, although they weren't enamored with it,
Council was fair enough to give the voters the opportunity to express
themselves; that is the democratic way; he urges Council to put his
proposed issue on the ballot for the same reason; (6) the only time
large crowds appear at Council meetings is when they are opposed to
something; unfortunately the hundreds, and possibly thousands, of resi-
dents who ride bicycles are not here tonight to ask for the bike paths
they want; (7) the sidewalks he is proposing are on public property to
protect school children; the one on A1A, which some people thought was
budgeted for, is not in the budget and there is no financing proposed
for it. He urges Council to be fair enough to put this bond issue on
the March 2nd ballot and give the people a choice.
- 2 - 01/12/82
Mr. Bird stated that it is his firm conviction that these
are the types of things they should do out of current income. He agrees
that these improvements would be nice to have but feels that they can be
accomplished without a bond issue. He also feels that they should not
pay 3 to 1 for these particular improvements and stated that he cannot
support this proposal.
Mr. Scheifley agreed with Mr. Bird that these improvements
should be done by current revenue year by year, but he added that he
feels it will never happen that way because these are the kind of things
that are cut out of the budget during budget sessions.
The proposal died for lack of a motion.
Mrs. Durante stated that there are several other streets
that are badly in need of repair and she feels that they cannot select
some and not others to be put on a bond issue; they will have to try and
do it out of ad valorem taxes. Mr. Blair stated that if they can get
the park and recreational impact fee in motion, funding for bike paths
could come out of that. He added further that perhaps the new City
Manager will find ways to accomplish these things. Mr. Scheifley stated
that the majority of residents in Delray Beach would rather see their
City kept in first class condition than add new facilities and keep it
in third class condition.
5.a. Mrs. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, requested that item
6.b.(14) of the Consent Agenda be removed for discussion.
Mr. Bird moved that item 6.b.14 be removed from the Consent
Agenda for discussion, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
6.a.1. Mr. Dan Winters, Parks & Recreation Director, reported on
the proposed recreation bond issue for the March 2nd ballot and stated
that he has been working with the City Attorney and the Finance Director
and they have arrived at a figure of $3,300,000 which will be ready by
Wednesday for Council review. At that time he will be able to elaborate
on how much they are spending at each park. Upon question by Mr.
Scheifley, he replied that he is breaking it down into staffing, main-
tenance and capital costs. (This item is continued below after recess).
6.a.2. Mr. Winters presented a memorandum to Council members which
he read into the record as follows:
"I would at this time greatly appreciate it if you would
give consideration and, hopefully, approval to the renaming
of the now existing City Park located at 801 N.E. 1st
Street, Delray Beach. After lengthy personal discussion
with individuals living within our City, it is my personal
recommendation that the above-mentioned park be renamed
"Leon Weekes Park". Mayor Weekes has served this community
well; I therefore feel that it would be appropriate at this
time to honor him with the renaming of this facility. I
appreciate your consideration.
Dan Winters"
It was the consensus of Council to direct the City Manager
to schedule this item for discussion at the next workshop meeting.
Vice-Mayor Scheifley declared a recess, the time being 7:48
P.M. The meeting reconvened at 7:55 P.M.
6.a.1. (continued from above)
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 3-82:
- 3 - 01/12/82

The City Attorney read the caption of the resolution.
Mr. Bird moved for adoption of Resolution No. 3-82, seconded
Mrs. Durante. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Durante -
Yes; Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr. Bird - Yes; Vice-Mayor Scheifley - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
6.b. CONSENT AGENDA
The City Manager requested that item 6.b.(19) be deleted
from the agenda entirely. Mr. Scheifley noted that item 6.b.(14) has
been removed from the Consent Agenda for discussion (See item 5.a.).
The City Manager reported on the following items which are
to be considered by Council as the Consent Agenda:
(1) The Standard Developers' Utility Service Agreement has
been received from Pebb Enterprises, a Florida General Partnership for
water and sewer service for Shoppes of Delray, located at 14400 South
Military Trail. A check in the amount of $843.75 has been deposited in
the Developers' Fund to cover 2.25 acres at $375 per acre. It is recom-
mended that Council approve execution of the agreement.
(2) It is recommended that Council authorize Change Order
No. 2 for the Water Treatment Plant Expansion. Modifications amount to
an increase of $532.50 for a new contract price of $4,428,359.75.
(3) It is recommended that authorization be given for
Arthur V. Strock & Associates, Inc. to conduct six beach and offshore
profiles from the north City limits to the south City limits to deter-
mine the extent of the erosion during November, 1981. The estimated
cost of these surveys is $3,000.
(4) It is recommended that Council authorize Change Order
No. 3 for Fire Station No. 4. Additional modifications requested by the
Fire Department and the architect will amount to $1,876.42. The TV
antenna and mast and the garbage disposal have been deleted and this
deletion will amount to $210.00, therefore the Change Order will in-
crease the contract by $1,666.42 for a total of $210,346.42.
(5) As authorized by Council at the October 13, 1981 meet-
ing, the 1.8-acre tract of City-owned land on the north side of Lake Ida
Road adjacent to the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church was offered for
possible sale at public auction on December 17, 1981. Mr. L.J. Burger,
representing Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Inc. was the only
bidder in the amount of $55,000. It is recommended that Council accept
the offer to purchase the tract of land.
(6) It is recommended that the South Central Regional
Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Board Resolution No. 9-81 increasing
the wholesale sewage user charges be approved. This resolution was
adopted at the SCRWTD Board Special Meeting on December 21, 1981 and
requires ratification by the Cities of Delray Beach and Boynton Beach.
(7) As discussed at the workshop meeting on January 5th,
Council is to consider designating the day immediately preceding the

March 15, 1983. Approval is recommended.
(9) Pursuant to Section 23-17(e) of the Code of Ordinances
the otherwise required minimum right-of-way for Congress Park and Saddle
Ridge would not be feasible and since a reduction would not endanger
public safety and welfare, it is recommended that a reduced right-of-way
to 40 feet be granted. This was discussed at the workshop meeting on
January 5th.
(10) As discussed at the January 5th workshop meeting,
Council is to consider approval of use of Miller Park as a parking

REGULAR AGENDA
6.b.14 The City Manager reported that the City is in receipt of an
application from Delray Executive Square, Ltd. for City water and sewer
service to serve 4.419 acres on West Atlantic Avenue approximately one
mile west of Military Trail, which is outside the City. The property is
to be used for a professional building. It is recommended that Council
approve execution of the City's standard water service/annexation agree-
ment which will permit the City to provide the requested water service
to the applicant. This was discussed at the workshop meeting on January
5th.
Mrs. Alice Finst, President of the Homeowners League of
Chatelaine, stated that last spring a policy statement was proposed by
the Planning & Zoning Board which would prohibit water being given to
areas which do not qualify for annexation. She inquired as to why
Delray Executive Square, which does not qualify for annexation, has been
recommended to Council for approval of execution of the City's standard
water service/annexation agreement. It is west of Military Trail and
west of the border for the reserve area. Mrs. Finst noted that the
applicant has said he could easily get water from another source and
added that approval of this proposal would be unfair to the residents of
the City who will be deprived of their water supply. Mr. Scheifley
explained that this agreement is contingent upon the expansion of the
water plant and therefore the residents would not be affected. Mrs.
Finst advised that she spoke to Mrs. Yansura of the South Florida Water
Management District who stated that more people using the water would
deplete the supply faster and would more quickly put them in a restric-
tive situation.
- 7 - 01/12/82
Mr. Bird explained that the critical issue is that a reduc-
tion by the Water Management District is a reduction in overall con-
sumption throughout the entire area served by them and has nothing to do
with the City per se. If the Water Management District mandates a 25%
reduction, it does not really matter whether this project is drawing
water from the City or from some other source; it's still going to be
drawing water from that same overall subterranean supply. The benefit
to the City and the reason why they are considering this as an appropri-
ate request is because it would provide completion of a loop and there-
fore provide better water pressure to all of the citizens who live along
that loop. He added that the City Engineers feel that approval of this
agreement and completion of the loop will benefit the citizens of Delray
Beach.
Mrs. Finst stated that Mr. Gates Castle informed her that
the water plant expansion will not change the pressure at all and that
the only thing that will improve the pressure is the completion of the
underwater reservoir behind Sudan Subdivision; that project is at a hold
now because there is no right-of-way into the land which the City ac-
quired. She urged City Council not to grant this request for water.
Mr. Warren Newell, representing Delray Executive Square,
explained that the property is only 1600 feet west of Military Trail, is
within the reserve area of Delray Beach, and calls for commercial use.
He added that the City's water pressure will not be endangered by their
system; they're completing a looping system in order to increase the
water pressure. The uses for the property are mainly professional such
as real estate, law, doctors and dentists, which are known to be very
low users in water. They will not be using any water for irrigation
purposes; the water for irrigation comes from a lake which is on the
property. They would prefer City water as opposed to well water because
the professional people there, such as the dentists and doctors, would
not want to use bad quality water when treating patients. Mr. Castle
has informed him that there will be plenty of capacity when the plant
comes on line and that he would like to see them complete this loop.
Mr. Newell advised that the area surrounding this project is already
getting water service by the City and added that they simply want to
complete a system and are requesting Council's approval.
Mr. Frank Carey, Planning & Zoning Board, advised that about
a year ago the Utilities Director reported to Council that the City's
water plant and its increased capacity, at the time it is completed,
will be capable of servicing Delray Beach and its reserve area based on
the adopted Land Use Plan. He pointed out that High Point West and
several other projects are in violation of the Land Use map. He further
stated that he feels the requests for City service will eventuallY
exceed the capacity of the plant and its expansion. All of the computa-
tions for the expanded plant were based on numbers the Board gave to the
Utilities Department at the time they adopted the Land Use Plan. He
agrees that it makes sense to close the loop but feels that the loop
never should have been there. He also feels that the City's greatest
planning tool over the years has been its water resource; however, the
City fails to use that tool by failing to make people requesting City
water service conform to the City's Land Use and zoning. That has been
a terrible mistake on the part of the City and he urges City Council to
stick to the Land Use Plan.
Mrs. Durante noted that about a year ago when they addressed
the issue of water beyond Military Trail, they asked the Utilities
Department to take another look at the uses in that area and to find out
what demand those uses would make on the water supply. She noted that
office buildings use far less water than residential dwellings and she
suggested that this be looked into again.
Upon question by Mr. Scheifley, the City Manager stated that
the City can charge up to 50% higher rates for service outside the City.
Mr. Bird stated that Mr. Carey brought up a good point and
requested that the City Attorney and Administration review it.
- 8 - 01/12/82
Mr. Bird moved for approval of water and sewer service for the
Delray Executive Sq., Ltd.with the deletion of the annexation provisions
subject to being effective after the new water plant is on line and
subject to sufficient capacity being available at that time, seconded by
Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr.
Scheifley suggested that in the future they delete the annexation provi-
sions in agreements such as this one. Mr. Bird stated that he is not
prepared to set a policy now; he would prefer to revisit that issue
separately.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.c. The City Manager reported that Council is to acknowledge
receipt of a letter from Namil Corporation/Nathan Miller of January 4,
1982 requesting withdrawal of their petition for rezoning.
Mrs. Durante moved to accept the letter of withdrawal,
seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.d. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the January
5th workshop meeting, Council is to consider the reversal of exchange of
property between the City and Namil Corporation.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the reversal of the exchange of
property between the City and Namil Corporation authorizing execution of
the necessary deeds and to start over from step one, seconded by Mrs.
Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.e. The City Manager reported that as decided at the January 5th
workshop meeting, Council is to continue discussion of the garbage and
trash collection bid.
Mr. Robert French, President of Country Manors Condominium
Association, thanked the City Manager for notifying them of this item
and requested that the City allow them to continue to negotiate with a
private contractor for their garbage pickup. They find the service very
satisfactory and find they are saving money.
Council discussion was had regarding a memorandum from David
Huddleston, Finance Director, dated January 8, 1981, showing a revised
bid from SCA Services. The City Manager noted that the revised bid
shows a yearly price of $1,595,440 and advised that it was submitted
because of Council's request to remove the transfer station. He added
that this bid is contingent upon the fact that SCA will not operate the
transfer station and will pay $2.00 per ton for using the transfer
station which, at this point, is costing the City about $16.00 per ton.
Mr. Bird added that he was informed by an SCA representative that the
$2.00 does not include the tipping fee which fee is included in the
City's figure of $16.00. He inquired as to what else they did or did
not include.
Mr. Max Goolsb¥, SCA representative, stated that Mr. Hunt
informed him that he had not considered what transfer fee he would
charge for operation. Trying to be timely they took a $2.00 per ton
assumption and fed that into the bid. That fee covers transfer only; it
does not cover the disposal fee at the land fill. He advised that SCA
feels that the best proposal for the City is the original bid whereby
SCA would operate the transfer station; that bid was $1,699,316. Upon
question by Mr. Bird, Mr. Goolsby replied that landscape debris would
come to the transfer station and they would charge $15.00 per ton and be
responsible for disposal and transfer costs.
Mr. Scheifley suggested that they refer this subject to a
workshop meeting so that they have a chance to study it further. Mr.
Bird stated that at the beginning of the budget year they decided that
they would not adjust their trash collection rates until they could find
out what it would cost them to go to a contract operation. It seems to
him, after reading Mr. Huddleston's memorandum and information received
from SCA, that they are going to raise the fees anyway. Mr. Scheifley
stated he felt they should have raised the fees three or four months ago
- 9 - 01/12/82
but Council did not concur with him at that time. Mrs. Durante noted
that they will need to raise the fees regardless of whether or not they
go to private contract and concurred with Mr. Scheifley's suggestion to
send this issue to workshop.
Mr. Bird moved that they have an ordinance drafted for the
next formal meeting, or next week's special meeting if possible, ap-
proving the fees recommended by the Finance Director to balance the
budget, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr. Bird
advised that passage of such an ordinance will give SCA more time to
rework their bid, if necessary, without the City being put in jeopardy.
Upon question by Mrs. Durante, Mr. Huddleston replied that the proposed
rates will be sufficient to capture enough revenue for the fiscal year
to balance the budget to go back a 4 to 5 month period.
Mr. Scheifley advised that Council received a letter from
Dr. Carl C. Fischer concerning a recommendation made by Tropic Bay
regarding a change of rates for condominiums. He also advised that
Council received a letter from Mr. Emanuel Krupp, Rainberry Bay Board of
Directors, requesting the privilege of using a private contractor.
Upon question by Mr. Sam Portnay, Mr. Scheifley replied that
High Point and Country Manors are excluded from these rates until July
1st. He recommended that Council bring it up for discussion in April.
Mr. Bird advised that before they discuss it, they need an impact state-
ment from the Administration showing if the maximum number of similarly
organized condominium developments were to choose to opt out, what they
are left with. Mr. Scheifley asked the City Manager to write a memo to
Mr. Tiffany to that effect. He added that the issue of other similar
developments going to private contractors will be discussed after the
City's major decision has been made.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

Mr. Peter A. Nygren, 159 Marine Way, Slip ~1, spoke in op-
position of the proposed ordinance and noted that this is the second
raise in two years and will amount to 40%. He stated that their last
raise was for improvements to the Marina yet there have been none and he
listed several areas which, he feels, need improvement. He added that
last year $45,000 was turned over from the Marina Fund to the General
Fund. He referred to a letter written to the City by Mr. Parsley and
suggested that Council not put too much faith in Mr. Parsley's letter.
He suggested that City Council compare the facilities of their Marina
with those of neighboring cities before taking any action on this issue.
Mr. Russ Burly, 159 Marine Way, Slip #14, spoke in opposi-
tion of the increase and stated that, in reviewing the City budget, he
found that some of the figures appropriated for supplies, repairs and
upkeep for the Marina are not accurate; the City is allowing the Marina
to deteriorate by not maintaining it and, therefore, they feel it is
inappropriate for the City to again raise the fees at this time. He
suggested that City Council check the budget and consider it before
taking action on this rate increase.
Mr. James Bowen, 116 Marine Way, noted that he has owned
land on the boat docks for 23 years and he supports the boat-owners in
opposition of this rate increase. He outlined the history of ownership
of the Marina and described some of the problems there. He stated that
better management is needed and suggested that the Administration table
this ordinance, get input from boaters and residents alike and do some-
thing about it instead of raising rates.
Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, noted that the
Intracoastal Waterway is considered a very desirable location and added,
relative to the 40% increase being addressed, many landowners living
there have had an increase in their real estate taxes of more than 100%.
Mrs. Stephanie Burly, 159 Marine Way, Slip #14, stated that
she owns property on Jasmine Terrace, which is on the Intracoastal, and
pointed out that her taxes for that property have gone down.
The public hearing was closed.

on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Blair. Upon roll call

Bird - Yes; Vice-Mayor Scheifley - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to
0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr.
Scheifley advised that the City looked at the rates for Marinas in the
neighboring communities and found these to be fair and equitable and in
line with others. He suggested that the Administration take a look at
the docks and at the deficiencies pointed out and perhaps some action
should be taken. Mr. Bird concurred and added that the recommendation
for tighter supervision at the docks is well taken.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

stated that he is making this a formal motion just for the purpose of
having it in the record. He listed several violations and added that
there is no explanation why they cannot solve this problem administra-
tively; Council members agreed.
Mr. Carey stated that about five years ago the Planning and
Zoning Board recommended to Council that the City employ a person as
liaison between the Building Inspection Department and Planning Depart-
ment; unfortunately, the Administration did not concur and it never got
off the ground. He feels it would be a terrible mistake to combine the
two departments because they serve two entirely different functions. He
suggested having an employee within the Building Department who would
be, essentially, an arm of the Planning Department and who would be
totally responsible for reviewing all applications.
Mrs. Matthews suggested that they color the issuing of
permits which are contrary to the City code and which go back about six
years. Mr. Carey stated that this Council cannot sit here and let these
developers violate the law.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
