Mayor Weekes reported that this resolution sets forth the
framework to put Delray Beach's opposition on record and it sets up a
basis for possible legal change to the district boundaries if they are
not amended. The resolution will be sent to the Governor, the Attorney
General, the President of the Florida Senate, the Speaker of the Florida
House and copies to all members of their delegation. He further advised
that Mr. Bird has come up with an alternative district boundary line
which is much more acceptable than the one proposed.

seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Scheifley - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr. Bird - Yes;
Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Before roll call, upon question from Mr. Arthur Jackel,
Mayor Weekes explained that the City Attorney researched this to find as
much legal basis for their complaint as he could so that they would have
a basis if they chose to challenge it or join in a challenge to it at
some time in the future.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Weekes declared the meeting adjourned at 4:50 P.M.
