07-27-82 JULY 27, 1982
A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was called to order by Mayor Willard V. Young in the
Council Chambers at City Hall at 7:00 P.M., Tuesday, July 27, 1982.
1. Roll call showed:
Present - Council Member Malcolm T. Bird
Council Member Leo A. Blair
Council Member Arthur Jackel
Council Member Edward L. Perry
Mayor Willard V. Young
Absent - None
Also present were - City Manager Gordon D. Tiffany, and
City Attorney Herbert W.A. Thiele.
2. The opening prayer was delivered by Rabbi Dr. Louis L. Sacks
of Congregation Anshei Emuna.
3. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
4. Mr. Perry moved for approval of the minutes of the regular
meeting of July 13, 1982, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed
unanimously.
5.a. There were no Non-Agenda items from Citizens.
5.D.1. Mr. Perry stated that about a year ago he had approached
Council and asked for their consideration of a policy whereby any gifts
to City employees would be forbidden. The Administration at that time
opted to allow a $15.00 limit on gifts. It has come to his attention
that the Florida Statutes forbid any City employee or Officer from
receiving a gift.
Mr. Perry moved that Council, at some future date, approve a
resolution to erradicate the policy which has been left by former Admin-
istration and bring the City in line with the Florida Statutes.
Mr. Bird suggested that a substitute motion be made to
remand t~ls item until a subsequent workshop. He feels it would be
appropriate to have more discussion on this matter.
Mr. Perry amended his motion to remand this item to a sub-
sequent workshop, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unan-
imously.
5.D.2. Mr. Bird stated that the beginning of negotiations regarding
a transfer station in South County for solid waste disposal will soon be
before Council for consideration. The reason he is bringing this before
Council tonight is that a basic decision has to be made; whether or not
Delray would like to become involved with the technology that is being
reviewed by Boca Raton. He feels that the ideal solution for the Cities
of Boca and Delray, if it is economically feasible, would be a small
modular incinerator in the south end of the County. Mr. Bird stated
that before the community is committed to a decision, Council should
invest some time and effort into reviewing this problem and come to a
conclusion which they feel comfortable with. He suggested that the
Administration be directed to put together a group made up of staff
members and/or elected officials to review the facilities which are
apparently successful elsewhere and make sure that whatever decision is
made is for the long-term best interests of the citizens.
Mr. Bird moved to direct the Administration to undertake a
study and come back to Council with a recommendation as to who should
go, which plant should be reviewed, if there is an expansion to this
list or maybe substitutions to the list and that it be done before a
final decision is made with regard to the transfer site and our contrac-
tual relationships with the Solid Waste Authority, seconded by Mr.
Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Young stated that he has an appointment tomorrow with
Mayor Konrad of Boca Raton and Mayor Trauger of Boynton Beach and this
is one item that they will be discussing. He feels that it is a very
important item and he concurs completely with Mr. Bird's suggestion.
5.b.3. Mayor Young requested that Council ratify the action taken
by the South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment Board for consulting
services for the project of control of hydrogen sulphide monitoring
system, future wastewater flows and plant capacity and the general scope
of the entire project.
Mr. Bird moved to ratify the agreements of the South Central
Regional Wastewater Board, seconded by Mr. Perry. Said motion passed
unanunous ly.
5.b.4. Mayor Young stated that there is a vacancy to be filled on
the Internal Audit Committee. He would like to suggest that Mr. Ken
Davldson, who is presently an alternate on the Committee, replace Mr.
Soelch, who has resigned, with the understanding that another alternate
will be named at a later date.
Mr. Bird moved to appoint Mr. Davidson to the unexpired term
of Mr. Soelch, seconded by Mr. Perry. Said motion passed unanimously.
5.b.5. (Item 27) Mayor Young stated that there is a vacancy to be
filled on the Planning and Zoning Board. Council has been furnished
with a resume from Mr. Theodore Carey and it is recommended that he be
appointed to the unexpired term of Mr. Christensen
Mr. Bird moved to appoint Theodore Carey as a replacement
for Mr. Christensen to serve out his unexpired term, seconded by Mr.
Perry. Said motion passed unanimously.
5.c.1. The City Attorney requested that item 20 be removed from the
consent agenda and placed on the regular agenda.
5.c.2. The City Attorney stated that Mr. Carlson, who has been
employed as the City's law clerk for the past few weeks, has been sworn
in to the Florida Bar and he is requesting the Council formally appoint
Mr. Carlson as the new Assistant City Attorney. He also requested that
Mr. Carlson be entitled to an annual salary of $17,500, the ICMA Pension
Plan and all benefits of the City as though he were a general employee.
Mr. Bird moved to appoint Mr. Carlson as the Assistant City
Attorney, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
5.d. There were no Non-Agenda items by the City Manager.
6. Mr. Bird moved to approve the agenda, with the exception of
item 27 which has already been completed and item 20 which will be moved
to the regular agenda from the consent agenda, seconded by Mr. Perry.
Said motion passed unanimously.
7. The City Manager stated that the reason this item is on the
agenda is to allow Council to determine what their agenda will be for
the workshop meeting on the budget, which has been scheduled for one
week from tonight. The preliminary discussion that was had last week
was to remlnd Council that they would concentrate first on the Enter-
prise Funds. He would also be prepared to add any specific items Coun-
cil may wish to be brought forward for background information between
now and the scheduled meeting. He suggested that at 7:00 P.M., one week
from tonight, they have a brief executive session strictly on the sub-
ject of collective bargaining as a preliminary before the budget work-
shop.

REGULAR AGENDA
20. Levy of Tax by Palm Beach County for Road and Bridge Pur-
poses. Council is to consider authorizing the City Manager and City
Attorney to begin inquiry into County road and bridge tax funding.
Approval is recommended.
The City Attorney reported that this morning he attended a
meeting with the attorneys representing three other municipalities in
the County, at which time they discussed strategy and tactics relative
to the road and bridge tax. They also reviewed the preliminary indica-
tions from the consulting firm which has been hired by the City of West
Palm Beach. He feels that in order for the City to proceed and make sure
that no problems are instituted within the next fiscal year, City Coun-
cil, rather than authorize further proceedings should, if they wish,
specifically authorize the City Attorney's Office to institute litiga-
tion against Palm Beach County. The timing of the litigation would be
left to the discretion of the City Attorney's Office subject to their
determination of further validity of the statistical data and timing of
the law suit. The City Attorney's Office would let Council know that,
in order to do so, they would involve themselves in shared expenses in
the manner that the dual taxation litigation was accomplished by the
other four municipalities. Kelton and Associates' time and fees billed
to the City of Delray, or the other municipalities involved, would be
split amongst all of those plaintiffs on the basis of the property
values of each municipality. He feels that at this time Council should
impose a flexibile cap of expenses to such consultant firms of $10,000.
- 8 - 7/27/82
Mr. Bird moved that authorization be granted to the City
Attorney's Office to enter into litigation on the subject of the road
and bridge funding and for the Administration to undertake such agree-
ments with Kelton and Associates, as are required in order to provide
the statistical data, with an amount not to exceed $10,000, seconded by
Mr. Perry. Said motion passed unanimously.
26. Gasoline Station - Old Harbor Plaza, Ltd. Council is to
conslder the intent of Ordinance No. 10-82 relative to gasoline station
located at Old Harbor Plaza.
Mr. Blair stated that when this item first came before
Council he felt that a convenience store meant groceries, milk and
bread, not the kind of items which practically every gas station sells
w~ch includes beer, wine, cigarettes and candy bars. His basic feeling
is that these items are not what he would call a convenience store and
for this reason he would be in favor of this gas station continuing as
they are presently doing.
Mr. Bird stated that this gas station is almost an identical
replica of the Standard Station on the intersection of Federal Highway
and Atlantic Avenue. He has gone through the list which has been pro-
v~ded by Knight Enterprises of what they are selling. He is less moved
Dy the l~st than the fact that he has yet to receive a complaint about
e~ther the traffic congestion or the operation of the facility. The use
the station is belng put to does not seem to be intrusive upon the
community or an obstruction to the traffic.
Mr. Perry stated that nowhere in the present ordinance has
convenience store, mini store or grocery items been defined. The onus
can not fairly be put on the shopkeeper to determine definitions which
have not been made clear in legislation. He would rather see the sta-
tion f~lled with what can be termed travelers' needs than with tires,
batteries, hoses and belts.
Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, requested that
Council ask Mr. Knight to refrain from the kind of advertising which has
categorized the other station on Atlantic Avenue and Federal Highway.
Mr. Bird moved that Knight Enterprises and any of their
agents, assignees or lessees be authorized to dispense wine/beer, ice,
soft drinks, cigarettes, candy, oil/oil additives and snack foods; that
specifically the operation be limited to those seven categories and that
the total signage which is displayed inside or outside the window shall
not exceed 10% of the front facing, seconded by Mr. Perry. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr.
Jackel - No; Mr. Perry - Yes; Mayor Young - No. Said motion passed with
a 3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call Mayor Young stated that about four years
ago when the matter of the gas station on Atlantic Avenue and Federal
H~gnway was discussed there was a great deal of furor with regard to
what they intended to do there. He also recalls the fact that Mr.
Knight, when this item was being discussed, said that he would be wil-
ling to forego the use of the property as a store of any kind and could
probably convert ~t into an office if necessary. He feels that Mr.
Knight has gone far beyond what his word conveyed to Council regarding
what was going to take place and he is opposed to the fact that this
building st~ll continues to exist.
At th~s point the roll was called to the motion.
28. N.elghborhood Straqety Area Review Committee. Reconsidera-

29. Traffic Signal Agreements between the City and Palm Beach
County. Council is to consider approval of traffic signal agreements
between the City and Palm Beach County regarding the intersections
located at:
a. Lake Ida Road and Barwick Road.
b. Linton Boulevard and A1A.
c. East Atlantic Avenue and 7th Avenue.
d. Linton Boulevard and Homewood Boulevard.
The City Attorney reported that he has distributed to Coun-
cil a memorandum from himself to the City Manager which basically out-
lines the fact that after the meeting of July 13, pursuant to Council's
direction, they had a meeting with members of the County Administration
and Engineering office. After some discussion a conclusion was arrived
at which comes closer to being fair than the previous agreements. The
County is now willing to agree that each party will be responsible for
damages caused by its own negligence with the restrictions about the
limits of liability as set forth in the Sovereign Immunity Statutes.
Although this is not the optimum he would like to have it is at least
acceptable, and he feels Council should move to approve the traffic
signal agreements.
Mr. Blair moved to authorize execution of agreements subject
to the change of the new paragraph, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion
passed unanimously.

EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Bird stated that although the ordinance covers the
problem of emmissions, it does not address noise pollution. He feels it
is within the realm of possibility that the applicants could get into
the process of chopping and grinding which would cause a problem for the
surrounding property owners. Although, he is not opposed to this ordi-
nance he would like to remand it back to consider more safeguards regard-
lng the noise.
Mr. Bird moved that this item be remanded back to staff for
additional work on the permitted use portion of Section 1, seconded by

for consideration, Mr. McDaniel replied that the Planning and Zoning
Board felt that there were few enough commercially zoned parcels left in
the City and these parcels needed a little more protection than they are
now receiving. However, one of the Planning and Zoning Board members
contacted him this morning and said that they were having second
thoughts regarding this Ordinance and asked him to convey their feelings
that it should be sent the Planning and Zoning Board for further study.

Planning and Zoning Board for further study, seconded by Mr. Blair.
