APRIL 14, 1981
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,
April 14, 1981, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes, presiding and City Manager J.
Eldon Mariott, City Attorney Roger Saberson, 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,
C-~son United Methodist Church.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
~erica was given.
3.a. Mrs. Durante moved for approval of the minutes of the spe-
cial meeting of April 6, 1981, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion
passed unanimously.
3.b. Mayor Weekes explained that about three years ago City
Council determined that they would no longer fund the fireworks for 4th
of July. A gentleman stepped forward and offered to donate $10,000 to
the City to be used over three years for that purpose; at that time he
asked that the donation remain anonymous. He has now agreed to be
identified so that he may be properly recognized. Mayor Weekes pre-
sented a plaque to Santa Claus a/k/a Bernard Glassman.
4.a.1. Mr. Bird asked that Council consider setting time aside to
formally recognize those people who give their time and their concern to
the City.
It was the consensus of Council to discuss this further at a
workshop meeting.
4.a.2. Mr. Bird asked about the status of the police dog program.
He stated that the news story indicated that they are never going to be
ready to go on the streets and maybe they need to look at a new and more
expensive breed.
It was the consensus of Council to discuss this at a work-
shop meeting.
4.a.3. Mr. Bird stated that another news article had to do with
fire hydrants. He questioned if a project is turned over to them and
the work is certified as being completed and it is not, where do they
stand; if they have no legal redress what do they need to do in order to
have some. He also questioned what the procedure is for cheCking hy-
drants.
It was the consensus of Council to discuss this at a work-
shop meeting.
4.b.1. Mrs. Durante moved that the City Attorney be instructed to
add Sandoway Park to the parking meter ordinance before Second Reading
and that the Administration be instructed to go ahead and install the
already in-hand meters in Sandoway Park, seconded by Mr. Scheifley.
Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr. Bird
stated that this should be with the understanding that they will pursue
a means to provide parking for the residents of this City. The other
members of Council concurred with Mr. Bird's statement.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
4.c.1. Mr. Blair stated that he would like to have some discussion
on beautification in certain areas of the City.
It was the consensus of Council to have this on a workshop
agenda.
4.d.1. Mayor Weekes presented a letter he received from Mrs. Alice
Finst on behalf of the Homeowners League of Chatelaine, Inc. (See
attached letter).
It was the consensus of Council to schedule this for a work-
shop meeting.
5.a. Mr. George Bockhold, 1601 S. Federal Hwy., requested that
City Council and the Mayor, at a workshop meeting, take up the issue of
timesharing. If they are going to have timesharing projects within the
City, it means a 15 unit project can have 780 different families during
a year reside therein. This will put an extra strain on the water and
sewerage which they were told is in short supply.
The City Manager replied that that issue has already been
scheduled for the next workshop meeting.
6.a.1. The City Manager reported that they received notice yester-
day that they have been approved for a $1,750,152 Federal grant for the
construction of lift stations Nos. 50 and 80 that have been in the pro-
cess for two to three years.
6.a.2. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 23-81 relative
to fines to be levied for violation of the ordinance for illegal dumping
at the City transfer plant is before Council on First Reading. This
ordinance grades the fines with the first offense being $100, the second
offense $250 and the third offense $500.
The City Manager p~esented Ordinance No. 23-81:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE 'CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 12 "GARBAGE AND TRASH",
BY AMENDING SECTION 12-2(b), "VIOLATIONS; PENALTIES", TO
PROVIDE FOR SET FINES FOR FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD CONVIC-
TIONS AND FOR REVOCATION OF PRIVILEGES OF USING THE
CITY'S DISPOSAL AREA FOR THE FOURTH CONVICTION OF FALSI-
FYING THE STATEMENT REQUIRED BY SECTION 12-21(a) IN ANY
ONE YEAR PERIOD OF TIME; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Scheifley moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 23-81
on First Reading, seconded by Mrs. Durante.
Mr. Bird stated that he has a problem with this ordinance.
To illegally dump there, as he understands the procedure, one must sign
a certificate saying that the material was actually generated within the
City. It has been his observation that the vast majority of people
never sign that certification. He questions whether they have any legal
ground to go after them, if they are able to determine that the material
was generated outside the City. The City Attorney replied that the way
the ordinance is set up at the present time, it would require that a
person actually falsified the statement.
The City Manager suggested that they leave the ordinance as
is because he feels they would have a much stronger case in the case of
a party who has signed the statement that it came from within the City
if, in fact, it did not and the City was able to prove that it did not.
During this test period, they will give instructions that all statements
be signed whether or not the driver is well known.
Mr. Bird stated that about half of the people who dump there
do not currently hold valid permits to do lawn maintenance in the City.
The City Manager stated that he will see that that's addressed. The
City Attorney advised that not every business that comes into the City
and does isolated business transactions must have an occupational li-
cense. Mr. Bird asked if they are going to subsidize them.
Mr. Bird asked if the subdivisions of High Point and Country
Manors would be eligible under this particular ordinance. The City
Attorney replied that he will have to check the other provisions of the
garbage and trash ordinance but, in his opinion, they would not be
allowed the opportunity to dump for free at the transfer station. Mrs.
Durante stated that she has a problem with the revocation.

Mr. Scheifly moved to table this to workshop, seconded by
Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.

The City Manager reported on the following items which are
to be considered by Council as the Consent Agenda:
6.b.1. Council informally agreed at workshop sometime ago
to consider formal approval of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program.
The program essentially provides that senior citizen's skills will be

proved City/Strock contract for sand fence, access improvements, vege-
tation, landscaping, preparation of funding applications and other

beach and coastal area. This item was on the March 24th agenda at which
time it was referred to the April 7th workshop meeting.
6.b.3. The study for beach maintenance nourishment is
required on a continuing basis to determine erosion losses. The work
involves topographic and hydrographic surveys to evaluate the effective-
ness of beach nourishment. This item was on the March 24th agenda at

recommended that Arthur V. Strock & Associates, Inc., consulting engi-
neers, be authorized to perform this work under the terms of the City/
Strock contract recently approved by Council.
6.b.4. It is recommended that Council authorize submitting
to sale the vessel, Topaz, confiscated in a drug arrest and that auc-
tioneer Jim Graham be retained to handle the sale by auction under terms

stration to seek bids for acoustic ceiling at the Delray Beach Country

Church, has requested a permit to erect a tent on City-owned land lo-
cated on S.W. 2nd Street between 8th and 9th Avenues to be used for
Vacation Bible School and Bible lectures from June 27th to August 8th.
Council, at the March 17th workshop meeting, agreed to the concept and
asked the City Attorney to research the legal ramifications. Because
the proposed project involves the erection of a tent, the church will be
required to comply with the provisions of Section 16-3 of the Code of
Ordinances. The City Attorney has given legal clearance to the request.
Approval is recommended.
6.b.7. The purchase of two motorcycles for the Police
Department was discussed at the workshop meeting on April 7th. The
following bids have been received:

6.b.10. It is recommended that Council authorize execution

6.b.ll. As discussed at workshop on April 7, 1981, it is
recommended that Council approve City maintenance of two 30 H.P. pumps
and one starter pump and the maintenance of sprinkler system lines (but
not sprinkler system heads) on the median strip of Homewood Boulevard

Linton Boulevard street right-of-way between Homewood Boulevard and the
L-34 Canal for a one-year period ending April 14, 1982.
6.b.12. The Mayor should acknowledge minutes of the Beauti-
fication Committee meeting of March 4, 1981 and refer the item marked
for Council attention to the administration.
6.b.15. A request has been received for the City to con-
struct paving on S.E. 1st Avenue between S.E. 8th Street and S.E. 9th
Street, with said improvement to be financed by special assessment. The
estimated project cost is $15,000. The owners of 50% of the affected
property have indicated they favor the improvement and Florida Power &
Light, owner of the remaining property involved has been approached and
has this under advisement. It is recommended that Council authorize

Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.b.8. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the April 7th
workshop meeting, Council is to consider the appointment of Michael
Christensen as a member of the Planning & Zoning Board to the unexpired
term of Leo Blair ending September 28, 1981. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Bird stated that they have never appointed anybody to
two City boards; it is his understanding that Mr. Christensen currently
serves on the Community Appearance Board. Mayor Weekes replied that he
would have to resign. Mr. Bird added that Mr. Bridges, an architect,
has expressed an interest in being on the Community Appearance Board and
he would submit his name for consideration.
Mr. Bird moved to appoint Michael Christensen as a member of
the Planning & Zoning Board to the unexpired term of Leo Blair, ending
September 28, 1981, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
6.b.13. The City Manager reported that the City is in receipt of an
application from Guillermina A. and Elisandro N. Espinoza for City water
and sewer service to serve .399 acres located at 1043 Germantown Road,
which is outside the City. This is a single family residence. It is
recommended that Council approve execution of the City's standard water
service/annexation agreement, which will permit the City to provide the
requested water service to the applicants.
- 4 - 04/14/81
Mr. Bird asked if they should put these items (13 & 14) in
abeyance until after the workshop meeting. The City Attorney replied
that it would be consistent with what Council did last week to defer
them, except possibly with the request of Dimentional Builders. Council
may want to receive more information on that. He understands that that
is Rainberry Bay and is under construction at the present time.
Mrs. Durante moved for approval of the request for water and
sewer service from Elisandro and Guillermina Espinoza, seconded by Mr.
Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.b.14. The City Manager reported that a Developers Utility Service
Agreement has been received from Dimentional Builders, Inc. for the
providing of water and sewer service to 17.29 acres located at the
northwest corner of Lake Ida Road and Congress Avenue. In accordance
with City policy, the developer has deposited a check in the amount of
$6,800 in the City's Developers' Fund to cover $62.50 per living unit
for sewer and $37.50 per living unit for water for 68 units. It is
recommended that Council approve execution of the agreement.
Mr. Bird moved to table this request for two weeks, seconded
by Mr. Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.b.17 The City Manager reported that the following bids have been
received for the purchase of a pavement marking machine for the Engi-
neering Department Traffic Division:

(Copy of Resolution No. 24-81 'is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 24-81,
seconded by Mrs. Durante. 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.
6.b.18. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Reso-
lution No. 25-81 be adopted authorizing the purchase of a beach cleaning
machine at a purchase price of $10,150, with funding to come from
Federal Revenue Sharing funds provided in the Parks & Recreation budget.
The budget provides $30,000 for the purchase of a diesel tractor. A
- 5 - 04/14/81
tractor was purchased for approximately $19,000, thus leaving sufficient
funds in the account for purchase of the beach cleaning machine. Origi-
nally, it was hoped the County would pay for the beach cleaning machine,
but this did not materialize. The tractor is used to pull the machine
in the cleaning of the beach.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 25-81:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, TO RATIFY AND CONFIRM PRIOR CONTRACT
NEGOTIATIONS AND TO AWARD A CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF
A BEEMER BEACH CLEANER
(Copy of Resolution No. 25-81 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mr. Blair stated that from looking at the diagram and the
information they received on this, it looks like a heavy maintenance
piece of equipment. Mayor Weekes replied that the administration and
the City has been looking at this off and on for two years. The City
Manager advised that this is the most inexpensive one they've located.
Mr. Scheifley moved for adoption of Resolution No. 25-81,
seconded by Mr. Blair. 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.
6.b.12. Mayor Weekes noted that there is an item in the minutes of
the Beautification Committee which they approved, relating to the con-
dition of dumpsters in the City.
6.c. Mr. Harry Harold and Mr. Thomas Thorson, representatives of
May, Zima & Company, made a presentation relative to the 1979-80 muni-
cipal audit.

cil authorize execution of an agreement between the City and Palm Beach
County for the County to accept the maintenance and operation of traffic

1) North Swinton Avenue and N.E. 2nd Street.
2) South Swinton Avenue and S.E. 2nd Street.
3) South Swinton Avenue and South 10th Street.
4) West Atlantic Avenue and West 5th Avenue.
Mr. Bird moved for execution of the agreement, seconded by
Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.a. The City Manager reported that a petition for transfer of
ownership of Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity was sub-
mitted to Council at the meeting of March 24th. A public hearing in
compliance with Section 28-19, Chapter 28 of the Code of Ordinances has -
been scheduled to be held at this time for the purpose of receiving
objections, if any, to the transfer of ownership from Joseph Kovar to
Raymond Ciccone. Following the public hearing, Council should determine
whether to approve the transfer of ownership. No additional taxicabs
are requested.
A public hearing was held having been legally advertised in
compliance with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the
City of Delray Beach, Florida.
Mr. Robert Dittman, representing Raymond Ciccone, stated
that he is aware that there have been some differences between the City
and the present holder of the certificate. He suggested that the ap-
proval of the application will go a long way towards eliminating these
differences. He asked that Council, in considering any past problems,
not hold it against Mr. Ciccone who is presently working for the current
certificate holder. Mr. Ciccone has indicated that he will comply with
all the applicable City codes relative to taxi service. He has lined up
a place of business at 402 S.E. 6th Avenue.
- 6 - 04/14/81
Mr. Giacome Mazzeo, 629 Heron Drive, stated that he is a
co-owner of Metric Taxi operating in Delray Beach. In 1979 Joseph Kovar
came before Council to merge with Metro Taxi which Council denied. Yet,
in 1979 and 1980 in the yellow pages he put down Metro Taxi and his
telephone number. He has been vandalized, his taxicabs have been stolen
and left on railroad tracks and he has been firebombed. He was told to
paint and letter his cars a certain way, yet Mr. Kovar ran his cars any
way he pleased. He has nothing against Mr. Ciccone becoming a taxicab
operator but the rumors are that Mr. Ciccone is fronting for Mr. Kovar.
Mayor Weekes stated that the issue before them is the trans-
fer of Mr. Kovar's certificate to a new owner.
Mrs. Delores Lopat, 1025 Miami Boulevard, co-owner of Metric
Taxi, stated that they are under the impression that Mr. Kovar disap-
peared from the site six weeks ago, yet Mr. Ciccone has been running the
cabs all this while. If that's the case, he is taking on a violated
company. The ordinances on this company have been violated for 2% years
and are still under violation. She questioned how they can transfer a
violated taxicab company. She thinks Mr. Ciccone should get his own
license and get a clean company. They are not against Mr. Ciccone; they
are against him transfering this violated company. While he has been
operating under Mr. Kovar for six weeks, the cabs are still in viola-
tion.
Mr. Thomas Burrows, 1310 N. Swinton Avenue, stated that he
reviewed the new ordinance and it now reads that the taxis only have to
be inspected, not monthly, but at the request of the City Manager. As
far as lettering, the ordinance does not say it has to have a name on
it; it says it has to have the words taxi or taxicab and a contrasting
letter.
Mr. Kenneth Wall, District Manager for Greyhound Lines, 950
N.E. 2nd Avenue, Miami, stated that the only thing they object to is the
name Greyhound being used in the taxicab business.
Mr. Raymond Ciccone stated that he will not use the name
Greyhound Taxi Company.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the transfer, seconded by Mrs.
Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
8.a. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 14-81, amending
Chapter 26 "Traffic" of the Code of Ordinances relative to eliminating
the two-hour parking zone on the west side of N.E. 1st Avenue from
Atlantic Avenue to N.E. 1st Street is before Council for consideration
on Second and FINAL Reading. This ordinance was passed on First Reading
at the March 24th meeting. Prior to consideration of passage of this
ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing has been sche-
duled to be held at this time.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 14-81:

The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance. A
public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance
with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of
Delray Beach, Florida. The public hearing was closed.
- 7 - 04/14/81
Mr. Scheifley asked why this is being done. If it is done,
it's an invitation to the employees to park there all day. It seems to
him that it works against the interest of the merchants. Mayor Weekes
replied that there are no merchants on that street. Mr. Bird added that
there is no convenient parking there. The City Manager stated that if
it doesn't work out it can be repealed.
Mr. Bird moved for the approval of Ordinance No. 14-81 on
Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mrs. Durante. 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.
8.b. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 15-81 is before
Council for consideration on Second and FINAL Reading. This ordinance, -
if passed, will amend Section 2(a) of Ordinance No. 6-81 relative to
providing for additional conditional uses. This ordinance was passed on
First Reading at the March 24th meeting. Prior to consideration of
passage of this ordinance on Second and FINAL Reading, a public hearing
has been scheduled to be held at this time.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 15-81:

TIONAL USES IN SUCH SAD; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
(Copy of Ordinance No. 15-81 is on file in the official
Ordinance Book)
The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance. A
public hearing was held having been legally advertised in compliance
with the laws of the State of Florida and the Charter of the City of
Delray Beach, Florida.
Mr. Sam Schwimer asked what these uses are going to be.
Mayor Weekes replied that this is a SAD zone on South
Federal Hwy. for an office plaza; the additional conditional uses are
such things as an accountant's office and attorney's office. They are
all office uses within an office complex. Mr. Bird added that in SAD,
if you do not specify the uses, it is illegal for those uses.
The public hearing was closed.
Mr. Blair moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 15-81 on
Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mrs. Durante. 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.
8.c. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 16-81, amending
Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances relative to off-street
parking (tandem parking) is before Council for consideration on First
Reading. Council, at the March 17th workshop meeting, instructed the
City Attorney to draft the ordinance.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 16-81:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY

OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH BY AMENDING
SECTION 30-18 "OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS", PARAGRAPH
(B)(6) "PARKING ACCESS AND DRIVEWAYS", TO ALLOW TANDEM
PARKING IN MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS;
PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
- 8 - 04/14/81
The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance.
Upon question by Mr. Bird, Mr. Tore Wallin stated one pro-
blem they had is that some of the new developments did not have enough
area to get the required parking.
Mr. Bird stated that he is not sure that they are making a
step forward by passing this. He can see a lot of room for abuse.
Mr. Blair moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 16-81 on
First Reading, seconded by Mrs. Durante.
Mr. Bird stated that he would like to limit it. Every
developer who reads it is going to take advantage of it if he can. All
they are doing then is building problems they'll have to face in the
future. Mrs. Durante asked if they can limit this to developments that
would have to be approved by the Planning & Zoning Board to use the
tandem parking. Mr. Blair suggested conditional use. The City Attorney
suggested tabling the ordinance.
Mr. Bird moved to table this ordinance, seconded by Mr.
Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
8.d. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 18-81, amending

HOMEOWNERS T, .AGUE OF CHATELAINE Inc.
April 1981
To the
Mayor
City Council
Delray Beach, Florida
and others
To whom it maF concern:
Because of what we feel is 1) the poor quality, taste and
decreasing pressure of water coming from the City to'our~
subdivision and 2) the continuing delay of the building
of a water retention structure to improve that deficient
pressure and 3) the number of pending water hookups in
and out of the City and 4) the general uncertainty that
there will be in the future an adequate, quality water
supply available~ at all, The Board of Directors of the
Homeowners' League of Chatelaine is requesting that the
City Council immediately declare a moratorium on the
issuance of any further water hookups in the reserve
area of the City.
It is our wish that this letter be read into the public
record and that time be scheduled at a forthcoming work-
shop f~x this request for a moratori~m to be discussed.
