A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 7:05 P.M., Tuesday,
January 26, 1982, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes, presiding and City Manager
Robert H. Fisk, City Attorney Herbert W.A. Thiele, and Council members
James H. Scheifley, Charlotte G. Durante, Leo A. Blair, and Malcolm T.
Bird, present.
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend Donald Mackay
of Cason United Methodist Church.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
3. Before approval of the minutes of January 12, 1982, Mr.
Scheifley requested that a correction be made on page 2, under section
4.c.4, line 7, the word per "month" should read per "year".
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the regular
meeting of January 12, 1982, with the amended correction, seconded by
Mr. Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
4.a.1. Mrs. Durante requested that Council appoint a recreation
committee to become involved in planning the use of the funds coming
from the park and recreational impact fees. Mayor Weekes suggested that
this item be put on the agenda for the next workshop meeting.
4.b.1. Mr. Bird stated that it was his understanding that the
preliminary rate study has been delivered and suggested that a special
meeting be arranged for discussion and first reading of the ordinance.
The City Manager replied that as yet he has not received the study, but
as soon as it comes a meeting will be arranged.
Mayor Weekes suggested that when the study is available that
a workshop meeting be held and if necessary a special meeting.
4.c.1. Mr. Scheifley reported that there has been no visible prog-
ress in cleaning up the eyesores and "small landfills" within the City.
5.a.1. Mr. Bob Dawson, new resident of Delray Beach, spoke highly
of the City and thanked them for providing to himself and his family a
safe haven of happiness and enjoyment.
5.a.2. Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, spoke before
Council and asked why she was not allowed to park in Miller Park, which
is public property, while attending the tennis matches at Lavers' Delray
Racquet Club. Mayor Weekes replied that he could not answer her ques-
tion but would obtain one for her.
6.a.1. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 8-82, repeal-
ing Resolution No. 3-82 is before Council for consideration. Resolution
No. 3-82 called for a bond election on the approval of general obliga-
tion bonds in an amount not to exceed $3,300,000 for park and recreation
purposes.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 8-82:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 3-82 WHICH
CALLED FOR A BOND ELECTION ON THE APPROVAL OF CERTAIN
GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS IN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF NOT
EXCEEDING $3,300,000 TO FINANCE THE ACQUISITION OF LAND
FOR PARK PURPOSES, AND PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF
RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT IN THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA.
(Copy of Resolution No. 8-82 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
The City Attorney reported that the bond resolution has been
published; therefore, if Council wishes, the bond issue can go ahead as
scheduled. Relative to the use of impact fees, he advised that that
money could be used as a source of funding on the debt service on this
bond or as a joint security on a different type of bond.
Mr. Bird stated that the bond referendum, which dealt with
the acquisition of property, was not given an opportunity to be fully
discussed. With the up-coming election, he feels that that opportunity
has arrived and that it should be left up to the citizens to vote upon;
therefore he will vote against Resolution No. 8-82.
Mrs. Durante noted that a number of people had asked Council
to take this issue off the ballot because they felt more time was needed
to get support, and for this reason she is in favor of adopting Resolu-
tion No.8-82. Mr. Scheifley agreed with Mrs. Durante, and suggested
that those people in favor of a recreational bond issue form a committee
to prepare a smaller bond issue aimed at recreation for children.
Mr. Blair stated that he feels the City could be negotiating
some kind of agreement for the purchase of land and use the parks and
recreation impact fee as payment towards it, instead of waiting for a
bond issue to pass.
Mayor Weekes suggested making an agreement with the owner
that the land be held off the market from the general public until such
time as the City responds to a referendum; should Council vote not to
have a referendum, then he could then go to the owner and her attorney
and see if they would be interested in working out a time purchase
contract. That might be a feasible possibility if Council is willing to
commit the money they set aside from land sales and impact fees over a
period of the next four or five years. If Council would make a motion to
adopt Resolution No. 8-82, he would be glad to have the necessary discus-
sions with the seller.
Mrs. Durante moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 8-82,
seconded by Mr. Blair. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Scheifley - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr. Bird - No;
Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Mr. Bird moved that the Mayor be authorized to enter into
negotiations to ascertain whether or not the seller is willing to enter
into a time purchase of the property on Homewood Boulevard, seconded by
Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call Mayor Weekes inquired as to whether or not
the City can engage in time purchases. The City Attorney replied that
the City could not get a mortgage. He does not know whether a contract
or deed can be obtained; it all depends upon whether or not the owner
would be interested in this type of agreement.
Mr. Scheifley suggested, if this motion is passed, that the
community leaders and future Council members start studying the facil-
ities that might eventually be put on that property. He feels that
maybe under a time frame, plans can be made for the future facility to
be self supporting.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.a.2. The City Manager reported that the administration recommends
the appointment of Dr. Frederick Schwartz as City Physician effective
February 1, 1982, with the same rate of compensation as Dr. Richard
Vollrath, who has resigned.
Mayor Weekes suggested that this item be deferred until
later in the meeting.

ning & Zoning Board's recommendation was postponed until a certificate
from an attorney or a title company, certifying that the reversionary
interests to that portion of S.W. 6th Avenue which is to be abandoned
are vested in the current fee simple title holders. Such certificate
has now been received. It is recommended that the street and alley be
abandoned.
Mr. Scheifley moved for approval of the Consent Agenda with
the exception of items (2), (3) and (4), seconded by Mr. Bird. Said
motion passed unanimously.
- 4 - 1/26/82
REGULAR AGENDA
6.b.2. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the January
19th workshop meeting, Council is to consider authorizing construction
of a five-foot wide concrete sidewalk along State Road A1A, extending
from the existing sidewalk at the north end of the beach, north to the
City limits at Pelican Lane, with financing to come from the Florida
Power & Light Fund excess reserve.
Mrs. Crafts spoke before Council and requested that the
thirteen feet between the telephone poles and the street be divided up
so as to have four feet between the poles and the sidewalk, a five foot
sidewalk and four feet to the street. She feels this would look the
best and is the safest location for the local residents and sightseers.
Mr. Blair stated that he could perceive no problem with the
sidewalk being situated in the location requested by Mrs. Crafts. Mr.
Bird stated, that he would also agree with the request as long as the
homeowners understand that if road widening occurs there is the pos-
sibility that the sidewalk would be removed.
Mr. Bird moved for acceptance of the plan proposed by Mrs.
Crafts, and to instruct the City Engineer to draw up plans which would
take into account the four foot easterly movement of the sidewalk,
seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Upon question by Mayor Weekes as to whether or not DOT would
approve a sidewalk that close to the pavement, Mr. Church, City Engine-
er, replied that DOT had said they would be receptive, but he did not
feel that they would accept it that close due to the swale area of the
road which accommodates the drainage. His recommendation is that it not
be put there as it is too close to the road. Discussion followed relat-
ing to the fire hydrants and telephone poles that are situated along
State Road A1A, whether or not they would be interfering with the loca-
tion of the proposed sidewalk.
Mr. Racko, 740 North Ocean Boulevard, stated that within the
last year the telephone poles outside his property have been worked on
at least a dozen times. He feels that if the City allows for the side-
walk as proposed by Mrs. Crafts, then there would be enough room for the
telephone company to work with and no interference on their property
would be necessary.
Mayor Weekes replied that Mrs. Crafts and her neighbors had
previously asked if the City would consider moving the sidewalk easterly
of the utility poles; he felt that this was a reasonable request, but
to move it even closer to the street could be dangerous. For this
reason he would favor the compromise reached at the workshop meeting
last week.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Weekes left the Council Chambers at this time.
6.b.3. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the workshop
meeting on January 19th, Council is to consider appointing a committee
to re-name the City Park, located at 801 N.E. 1st Street.
Mr. Bird recommended that Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews chair the
committee and that John Ross Adams and Nancy Chapman be considered for
appointment. Mr. Blair suggested that Roy Croft and Buster Musgrove, who
are members of the Historical Society, also be considered for appoint-
ment on the committee.
Mr. Bird moved for the appointment of the recommended names,
seconded by Mr. Blair. 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.
Mayor Weekes returned to the Council Chambers at this time.
- 5 - 1/26/82
6.b.4. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the January
19th workshop meeting, Council is to consider the appointment of a
committee to study garbage and trash collection rates.
Mr. Bird advised that Mr. Joe Martin has been asked to serve
as the organizational chairman of this committee, Mr. Sam Schwimer has
offered to represent the private communities which use container pickups
and Mr. Baer has offered to represent the high-rise areas. He also
suggested that Mike Brody, President of the High Point Community Action
Committee, be asked to serve and Robert Miller be asked to represent the
northwest area of the City.
Mr. Blair advised that he has been contacted several times
by Mr. Carlisle Butler regarding garbage pick-up and that Mr. Butler is
interested in representing the northwest section of the City.
Mr. Bird suggested that Tropic Bay, Tropic Isle and the
beach area also be represented. Mrs. Matthews offered to represent the
beach property owners and Mr. Tore Wallin also expressed interest in
serving on the committee.
Mr. Bird moved to appoint a committee to study garbage and
trash collection, its rates and method of collection, with membership to
be determined by the Mayor and appointed by him, seconded by Mr. Schei-
fley. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.b.12. The City Attorney advised, for the record, that Waterway
North II has requested that the Planning & Zoning Board and Council
consider amending the platting requirements for this project. He added
that he had promised Mr. Simon that he would bring this to Council's
attention.
7. There were no Petitions and Communications.
Mrs. Durante left the Council Chambers at this time.
8.a.& 8.b. The City Manager reported that the public hearings on Ordi-
nance No. 88-81 and Ordinance No. 89-81 will have to be continued since
County approval has not been received.
Mr. Bird moved to remove Ordinance No. 88-81 and Ordinance
No. 89-81 from the agenda, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr.
Bird - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Doak Campbell, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Board,
spoke in regard to annexation and rezoning applications of these ordi-
nances. He explained that, in the opinion of the Board, this will be a
general improvement in an area that is deteriorating. There is a large
County pocket located to the south of this area and this could lead to
the eventual annexation of a much larger area to the south of this
particular property.
Mr. Chris Hurst, Arthur Strock & Associates, stated that it
was his understanding that the County had moved on this request before
the Christmas holidays.
Mayor Weekes replied that when County permission is receiv-
ed, if it is the desire of the petitioner, then a special council meet-
ing can be arranged prior to the workshop meeting next Tuesday.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mrs. Durante returned to the Council Chambers at this time.

Before roll call the following discussion was had:
- 10 - 1/26/82
Mrs. Phyllis Plume, Planning & Zoning Board, stated that
they are concerned about the sign that is going up on this property.
When they originally approved the SAD, there was a stationary sign in
the ground and they would like to be assured that is what they will get;
that they will not get Amoco signs all around the station. She inquired
as to whether Council is addressing this issue in any modification.
Mayor Weekes replied that there has been no modification to
that part of the site plan and added that Mrs. Plume's statements will
alert the Administration to particularly watch for that and see that the
sign as approved is the sign they get. Mr. Blair inquired as to whether
that sign has already been approved; from what he has heard at the
discussions, it seems to him that the sign location may be different.
The City Manager agreed to look into that.
The City Attorney advised that the intent of the ordinance
is that the use of the subject property, specifically the building, will
not include permission to use it as a mini store or convenience store
and noted that the language in the ordinance may have to be modified a
little. He further advised that he wanted it stated, for the record,
that this is the intent of Council so that it is clear to Old Harbor
Ltd. and to Mr. Knight. Council concurred that this is their intent.
Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews spoke in regard to the third bay
which was illegally put in at the gas station . She suggested that only
the inside of the third bay be allowed to be used for automobiles and
the exterior (Federal Highway side) be landscaped. She added that it
would greatly improve the appearance of that corner. They would then
have five rows to service cars instead of six; she feels that this is
reasonable since legally they are only allowed four.
Mr. Blair stated that he measured it and the roadway and the
end of the building are where they belong. It is the two corners on the
top of the building that go over the setback. The basic center of the
building does not exceed the setback. Mrs. Matthews stated that she is
only suggesting that they do not use the exterior bay.
Mr. Scheifley inquired as to how they would proceed to
implement Mrs. Matthews' suggestion if Council should decide to do so.
The City Attorney replied that they could modify what was submitted in
the ordinance. He added that the building plan shows the island to have
no landscaping on that side; therefore, he would assume that they intend
to use it. He feels the City Council would have the inherent authority
to make them not use it if they so choose. Mr. Scheifley asked what
mechanics would be involved. The City Attorney replied that it would
have to be included as a proviso in the conditions of the ordinance;
they would have to write it into Section 3, which they are now amending,
to say that the most westward side of the third island may not be used
for traffic. Upon question by Mayor Weekes, the City Attorney replied
that it could be done prior to the Second and FINAL Reading and public
hearing because the caption of the ordinance does not specifically
address that point. He suggests that they do not impose that condition
without representatives of Old Harbor Ltd. being aware of it.
Mrs. Durante stated that she feels Mrs. Matthews' suggestion
is a good one; however, she will not vote in favor of the ordinance.
She feels that more compromises could have been reached if the appli-
cants had been allowed more time to work with the Planning & Zoning
Board. The City Attorney added that there was a motion passed imposing
conditions on lifting the stop work order and directing the drafting of
this ordinance in its current form; that condition was not one of those
imposed in the motion so he feels it would have to be revisited with the
applicants present.
Mr. Bird pointed out that between that island and the land-
scaping at the apex of the two roads, there is a perimeter road which is
in there and which is part of the site plan. So you would have cars
traversing to the southwest of that outside island in any event.
Mrs. Plume advised that she spoke with Mr. Knight after the
hearing at City Hall and he told her that, although it is not indicated
in the plans, he expects to heavily landscape both of those corners.
- 11 - 1/26/82
The City Attorney inquired as to whether Council wishes for
him to present that suggestion to the attorneys for Old Harbor Ltd.
between now and Second Reading. Mayor Weekes offered to personally
undertake to discuss it with Mr. Knight.
It was the consensus of Council to direct the City Attorney
to have the amended wording available at Second Reading so that it could
be inserted at that time, should Council so desire.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.a.2. Upon question by Mr. Bird as to why Dr. Schwartz is needed,
the City Manager replied that a City Doctor is needed for physicals and
workman's compensation. The City Attorney added that the City has a
designated physician to which all police and firefighter applicants are
sent for their physicals. Dr. Vollrath was the physician until he
resigned, and someone is needed to replace that position.
Mayor Weekes stated that it was his understanding that Dr.
Colvard was doing the tests for the police and firefighters. He asked
that the City Manager have some additional information as to why Dr.
Schwartz is being recommended for the appointment, and to have this
information ready for next Tuesday night's workshop meeting.
9. Mayor Weekes announced that he had talked to Senator John-
son's office, and that the annexation bill has been filed, it does have
a Senate number and will be assigned to Committees before the end of the
week.
Mayor Weekes declared the meeting adjourned at 8:40 P.M.
