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, August 10, 1982.

(Arrived
Present - Council Member Malcolm T. Bird 7:05 P.M.)
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 Dr. Wallace Mast of
Church of the Palms.
3. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
4. Mr. Blair moved for approval of the minutes of the regular
meeting of July 27, 1982, seconded by Mr. Perry. Said motion passed
unanimously.
5.a.1. Mrs. Pompey stated that some three or four months ago Coun-
cil was asked about the possibility of having a traffic light put up on
the corner of 12th Avenue and Atlantic Avenue. She noted that on the
agenda for tonight there are six other intersections being considered by
the City and asked why the intersection at 12th Avenue is not also being
considered.
Mr. Perry stated that the Department of Transportation has
not considered this intersection because of its proximity to 1-95. He
himself went out and measured the distance between 1-95 and 12th Avenue
and could not find another intersection that came as close. This item
is being considered in the NSA project, although how far it gets depends
on the Department of Transportation who are now dealing with the pro-
3ect.
5.a.2. Mr. Oscar Adelman, Pines of Delray, stated that about a year
ago there was an exchange of property between the City and Mr. Nathan
Miller. The property that the City acquired was to bring Homewood Boule-
vard equivalent to the light at the entrance of High Point. Since then
t~e deal has been rescinded and he would like to know if any progress at
all has been made with reference to that light.
The City Manager stated that at the last regular meeting
Council awarded the contract for this project and work should begin very
shortly.
5.a.3. Mr. Terry Sullivan, 1700 Dover Road, stated that Sunrise
Kiwanis appreciated the cooperation of the City Council and City employ-
ees at their Annual Beach Festival and presented plaques to Mr. Blair
and Mr. Tiffany who participated in the events.
Mr. Bird arrived, the time being 7:05 P.M.
5.a.4. Mrs. Rita Shaikun, Rainberry Woods, asked Council who the
proper party in government would be to see about having the road at
Atlantic Avenue and A1A repaired. She also commented on the condition
of the showers at the beach.
The City Manager stated that although this is not in the
City's jurisdiction he will look into the situation. As for the show-
ers, he is aware of their condition and something is being done about
them.
5.a.5. Mrs. Annabelle Tyson, 202 S.W. 13th Avenue, asked Council
why she has been issued a violation notice for having a potato chip
machine in her carport.
The City Manager stated that he would have someone contact
Mrs. Tyson tomorrow and explain what the situation is regarding the
notice.
5.a.6. Mrs. Anna Bush, stated that she has also been issued a
violation notice for having a similar machine.
The City Manager stated that she too would be contacted and
have the situation explained to her.
5.b.1. Mr. Blair stated that at next year's St. Patrick's Day
Parade he would like to see a certain number of hours allocated during
the day whereby alcoholic beverages may be consumed, under rules and
regulations, in certain areas of the street. He feels there should be a
way to handle the situation so that the City can continue to have this
parade and any other festive days that may come under the same category,
and still have it controlled. He would like to see this before a work-
shop meeting at some later date.
5.b.2. Mr. Blair stated that it has been brought to his attention
that there are private bottle clubs starting in this area. He would
l~ke this situation brought to the attention of the City Attorney and
Council in order that some control can be made so that it does not get
out of hand.
5.b.3. Mr. Blair stated that Council should move towards obtaining
an outside contract for garbage; he would still like to know more about
the containerized garbage pickup, keep the planning open for areas that
feel this would be good for them, keep back-door pickup and curbside
p~ckup but study it very close and start moving forward.
Mr. Blair moved that Council move toward obtaining an out-
side contract for garbage pickup, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion
passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had:
Mr. Bird stated that preliminary investigation indicates
that there are municipalities where the highest degree of service, which
is back-door pickup, is being conducted at a price less than the City is
currently charging. As far as he is concerned if that is the most
expensive part of the system, and that is why no other decisions have
been made, the City could follow the steps of the other communities and
look for a contractor who would take on the service. He would like to
see it in lieu of another increase in user fees before this year's
budget is finalized.
Mr. Sam Schwimer stated that at last week's workshop meeting
the Pines of Delray questioned the possibility of being able to arrange
their own garbage pickup. They have looked into the matter and received
at least one bid from a contractor. He hopes that whatever the City's
decision is they will take into consideration what the Pines of Delray
and any of the other condominiums are interested in doing.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
5.b.4. Mr. Blair asked that the Administration find out if the leak
in the water meter at 1153 Lowry Street is the City's responsibility or
the owner's.
- 2 - 8/10/82
5.b.5. Mr. Jackel stated that he has asked the City Attorney to
prepare a resolution renaming the Delray Beach Country Club as the
Delray Beach Municipal Golf Course. He would like Council to consider
this resolution although no action need be taken at this time.
Mr. Blair suggested that this item be deferred to a workshop
meeting for discussion.
5.b.6. Mayor Young stated that the City of Delray Beach is hosting
the USA National Mens Basketball Team. They were to be present at
tonight's meeting, but unfortunately had to leave for a previous appoint-
ment.
5.c. There were no Non-Agenda items by the City Attorney.
5.d. There were no Non-Agenda items by the City Manager.
6. Mr. Bird moved to approve the agenda, with the deletion of
item 12 and item 13 to be moved to the regular agenda from the consent
agenda, seconded by Mr. Perry. Said motion passed unanimously.
7. Mayor Young presented City Service Awards to Frank Carey,
William G. James, Emogene Morgan, C. Spencer Pompey and Lynn Taylor who
have faithfully served on some of the Boards and Committees of the City
of Delray Beach.

BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE MAYOR TO
EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT
OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS UNDER THE FLORIDA FINANCIAL ASSIST-
ANCE FOR COMMUNITY SERVICES ACT; PROVIDING THAT THE CITY

(Copy of Resolution No. 72-82 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mr. Perry stated that there are many positive programs
involved with Planned Parenthood. However, for many people there is a
precelved notion about this and it can be an emotional one. With a
cursory count of the churches in town he figures there is approximately
30% of the citizens of Delray who appear to be strongly opposed to the
abortion program which is involved with the Planned Parenthood program.
Mr. Robert Chapin, representing the Planned Parenthood
program, stated that they try to prevent and avoid abortion but if it is
the only viable alternative they believe that it be done with proper
medical supervision. Planned Parenthood believes that a woman should
nave the right to consult with her physician without unfettered regula-
tion by the government. It is Planned Parenthood's historical stance
to prevent that difficult decision from being made and they have never
performed abortions within the organization. They are only involved by
way of referral to competent, approved doctors or clinics who are li-
censed by the State of Florida.
Dr. Wallace Mast stated that after a ministery of over fifty
years he would like to give his approval of the program of Planned
Parenthood.
Mr. Sam Schwimer stated that he knows many people who have
been helped by Planned Parenthood and feels they deserve every considera-
tion.
Mrs. Rita Shaikun stated that if someone does not approve of
the Planned Parenthood program they do not have to use it. The program
should not be deprived from those who may need it because of the feel-
ings of people who are against abortion.
Mr. Gene Mont stated that he is very much against any pro-
gram affiliated with abortion.
Linda Johnson, representing Delray Primitive Baptist Church,
stated that although they do not disagree with the education of people
regarding birth control they are strongly opposed to any funds being
spent for abortion.
Mr. Perry moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 72-82,
seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr.
Bird - Yes; Mr. Blair - No; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Perry - No; Mayor
Young - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 2 vote.
18. Appointment - Neighborhood Strategy Area Review Committee.
Council is to consider appointing members to the Neighborhood Strategy
Area Review Committee.
Mr. Perry moved that Mr. Fred McCoy, Ms. Debbie Williams,
Reverend Lewis Myers, Mr. Spencer Pompey, Mr. David Randolph, Mr. Pres-
ton Wright and Mrs. Rosetta Rolle be appointed as members to the Neigh-
borhood Stratety Area Review Committee, seconded by Mr. Jackel. Said
motion passed unanimously.
19. Appointment - Community Appearance Board. Council is to
consider the appointments of two regular members to the Community Appear-
ance Board to terms ending August 25, 1984. Robert Currie and Gerald
Turner are willing to accept another two-year term if reappointed.
- 6 - 8/10/82
Mr. Jackel moved that this item be postponed for two weeks
to give it further consideration, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion
passed unanimously.
20. Appointment - Internal Audit Committee. Council is to
consider the appointment of an alternate member to the Internal Audit
CommIttee to a term ending April 27, 1984.
Mayor Young stated that after reviewing the resumes of the
people who qualify to serve on this board, it has been recommended that
James L. Bowen be appointed to serve as an alternate member on this
committee.
Mr. Blair moved that James L. Bowen be appointed to serve as
an alternate member to the Internal Audit Committee to a term ending
April 27, 1984, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.
21. Lestroy Maginley vs City of Delray Beach. Council is to
consider a settlement offer regarding Lestroy Maginley vs City of Delray
Beach. Re~ection is recommended.
The City Attorney reported that this item is litigation that
arose in a case about three years ago and it is still pending before the
courts. No trial date has yet been set and the plaintiff's attorney has
made a demand for settlement in the amount of $50,000. The City is
Delng represented by outside counsel in this matter and it is their
opinion and his that this settlement offer be rejected.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the recommended rejection, sec-
onded by Mr. Perry. Said motion passed unanimously.
22. Prohibition of Temporary Political Signs. Ordinance No.
52-82, amending Chapter 9 "Buildings and Construction", Article VIII
"Signs and Billboards", relative to prohibition of temporary political
signs, is before Council for consideration on First Reading.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 52-82:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 9, "BUILDINGS AND CON-
STRUCTION'', ARTICLE VIII "SIGNS AND BILLBOARDS", OF THE
CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA,
BY AMENDING SECTION 9-198, "DEFINITIONS", TO AMEND THE
DEFINITION OF POLITICAL SIGN; BY AMENDING SECTION 9-200,
"PERMITS REQUIRED; EXCEPTIONS", EXCEPT CERTAIN TEMPORARY
SIGNS FROM OBTAINING PERMITS; BY AMENDING SUBSECTION
9-209(e), "CERTAIN SIGNS OR SIGN STRUCTURES PROHIBITED",
TO PROVIDE AN EXCEPTION FOR CERTAIN TEMPORARY POLITICAL
SIGNS; BY AMENDING SECTION 9-212, "SPECIAL SIGNS", TO ADD
A NEW SUBSECTION (E), "TEMPORARY POLITICAL SIGNS", TO SET
FORTH CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH CERTAIN TEMPORARY POLITICAL
SIGNS MAY BE PLACED; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Attorney read the caption of the ordinance.
The City Attorney reported that each member of Council has
been individually sued by five plaintiffs as well as a class action law
suit challenging the constitutionality of a particular aspect of the
City's current sign ordinances prohibiting temporary political signs
throughout the City. He stated that there is substantial case law on
the subject. However, in order for the City to defend the ordinance they
would have to go to federal court and spend an extensive amount of time
with a limited chance of success; therefore, he has prepared an alter-
native ordinance which redefines what is considered to be a temporary
political sign and permits them to be placed within the City of Delray
Beach under certain conditions. He believes that this ordinance in its
current confIguration is defensible.
- 7 - 8/10/82
Mr. Bird stated that if he were convinced that every polit-
ical candidate first went out and obtained specific permission from the
property owner and then put up the sign, then he feels assessing the
property owner for its removal would be a reasonable and a just thing to
do. However, because the people who put up the signs rarely do ask
permission, he feels the candidate should be assessed.
The City Attorney stated that prior to the time the signs
are removed the property owners would be given notice that a sign was
located on their property and it was going to be removed by the City at
$25.00 per sign.
Mr. Bob Kussler stated that he is the owner of property that
has a considerable amount of road frontage and there have been a number
of signs posted on his property. He feels that if the City is going to
have an ordinance such as the City Attorney has proposed why can it not
be based on the same format that citizens use; if they want to post a
sign advertising their business they have to buy a permit from the City.
He feels the present ordinance is satisfactory and it has worked very
well for a number of years.
The City Attorney stated that the chances of defending the
ordinance ~n its present form are not in the City's favor and unfor-
tunately the Courts have taken the position that commercial speech in
general has not been accorded the same kind of protection that political
speech has. A permitting process would be considered to be a prior
restraint that might be impermissable under the constitution as applied
to politIcal speech where it is not impermissable and for that reason he
would not recommend a permitting process.
Mr. Blair stated that he agrees with Mr. Bird that it should
not be the property owner who is charged for the signs. He feels this
does need to be controlled, but the penalty should not involve a great
expense.
The City Attorney stated that if it is Council's intent to
pass this ordinance he would revisit the issue of who is responsible for
the collection and payment of the Administrative cost and modify it.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 52-82 on
First Reading, seconded by Mr. Perry. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr. Jackel - Yes; Mr. Perry -
Yes; Mayor Young - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
Mr. Bird moved to instruct the Administration to enforce the
provIsions of Ordinance No. 52-82 in lieu of the out and out prohibition
on politlcal signs during the period between now and second and final
reading, seconded by Mr. Perry. Said motion passed unanimously.
23. Ordinance No. 51-82 - Amending Code - Code Enforcement.
Ordinance No. 51-82, amending Chapter 2 "Administration" of the Code of
Ordinances relative to code enforcement, is before Council for considera-
tion on First Reading.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 51-82:
