06-23-81 JUNE 23, 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,
June 23, 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, and Malcolm T. Bird, present.
Council Member Blair was absent.
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend George Phillips,
Greater Mount Olive Baptist Church.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
3. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the special
meeting of June 2, 1981, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed
unanimously.
4.a.1. Mrs. Durante requested that item 7.a. be moved forward so
that Reverend Phillips, who has to leave early, can participate in the
discussion.
Mr. Scheifley moved that item 7.a. be moved up to follow
item 5, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
5.a.1. Mr. John Henderson, 532 Rye Lane, representing the Coalition
for Concerned Citizens, spoke in opposition to Ordinance No. 48-81,
which was presented to Council for First Reading last Tuesday night and
referred by Council to the Planning and Zoning Board. Mrs. Elizabeth
Matthews and Mr. Robert Stump, members of the Coalition for Good Govern-
ment, advised him they would meet with their group to ascertain whether
their group would meet with his group to discuss this issue. At this
time he requests that Council defer any action on this ordinance until
these two groups get together, talk it over, work out better legislation
and send it back to Planning & Zoning.
Mrs. Durante moved to defer any action on Ordinance No.
48-81 until such time as those two groups come back before Council and
tell them that they have met and Council can proceed, seconded by Mr.
Scheifley. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Scheifley -
Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Bird - No; Mayor Weekes - No. Said motion
failed with a 2 to 2 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had~ Mayor
Weekes stated that this is really an inappropriate time to get into
this. It is not up for consideration tonight. The appropriate time for
this discussion would be when the ordinance is before Council for con-
sideration. Mr. Bird agreed with the Mayor's comments and questioned
what they will do if the two groups do not meet. Mr. Scheifley stated
that when he seconded Mrs. Durante's motion to refer the ordinance back
to the Planning & Zoning Board, it was his understanding that the Plan-
ning & Zoning Board would work on the ordinance and present Council with
a comprehensive package. He agrees that they should wait and get the
input from all these people and try to reach a compromise.
Mr. Sam Schwimer stated tha~ he attended the meeting of the
Coalition for Good Government this afternoon. He does not recall any
discussion of a further meeting with this other committee Mr. Henderson
talked about.
Mr. Joe Martin stated that this is a very sincere request on
behalf of a number of people who are anxious to meet with this Coalition
for Good Government and attempt to analyze the ordinance in its present
form and, perhaps, present an ordinance that would be in the best in-
terest of the total community.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
7.a. The City Manager reported that Council Member Durante re-
quested a discussion relative to banning tents for church and religious
services.
Reverend George Phillips spoke in regard to a minister who
was allowed to set up a tent in Delray Beach; he had observed this
minister and was concerned over his methods. Reverend Phillips sug-
gested that the City make it a little more difficult for people to do
this; he recommended a fee of $200 (rather than $25 or $30) be charged
to these people who set up tents. He also suggested that the City make
a more careful investigation of the people who make application for
erecting these tents.
Mrs. Evelyn Gary, 128 N.W. 9th Avenue, representing the
homeowners in her neighborhood, discussed the tent that has been put up
right across from their homes. They oppose the location of the tent in
their residential neighborhood and are asking Council to have it re-
moved. She asked Council if all religious tents can be banned from the
City of Delray Beach; seemingly, they are always put in her area and it
upsets everyone living there.
Mayor Weekes stated that he thought they had approved that
tent to be erected in the southwest quadrant of the City, not the north-
west.
Mrs. Durante stated that the southwest side is what was
orally stated to Council; however, in the written request from the
Seventh Day Adventist Church, it was the northwest side; there is a
matter of confusion. In the interest of the residents, she agreed to
ask the Church to consider relocating to Pompey Park. She spoke to the
Church and they felt that they could not move the tent at this time. In
regard to complaints of construction activities going on at the tent,
she checked this out through the City Manager and was told that the
Chief of Police told them that no construction activities were to be
conducted there. She spoke to Reverend Dennis and he told her that he
was not notified of this.
Mr. Kenneth Butler, next door neighbor of Mrs. Gary, stated
that he is not opposed to churches or what they represent; however, he
is opposed to this tent in their residential neighborhood.
Mayor Weekes advised Pastor Dennis that when he voted for
this he thought it was in the southwest quadrant and that there were no
immediate neighbors. It seems to him that in the best interest of
harmony in the community, Pastor Dennis should be willing to voluntarily
move that tent.
Pastor Keith Dennis, Pastor of Seventh Day Adventist Church,
reviewed the steps that have taken place in regard to the erecting of
the tent and added that the letter he wrote clearly stated "northwest".
His church has more than 50 members living in that same neighborhood,
who, if he asked them to, would come here and speak strongly in support
of the tent. They are there to benefit the community, not to detract
from it. They have one million dollars in insurance; if they have to
remove the tent it would take another four weeks to have that insurance
rewritten. Also, they have already paid for printed invitations which
indicate the location as discussed.
Mayor Weekes stated that he does not intend to ever again
vote for a tent of this nature in the City of Delray Beach.
Mr. Bird suggested, in order to insure that they always have
an adequate amount of public participation in these decisions, that it
would be appropriate if they changed the ordinance concerning this
matter to read very similarly to the one for non-conforming uses; i.e.,
public notices and public hearing.
Mrs. Durante suggested having the City Attorney research
this matter to see if they can ban tents or at least keep the tents on
the churchs' own property. If, in this case, the Church will not volun-
tarily move the tent, she feels that she will have to support their
previous action, even though there was a mistake made as to the loca-
tion.
- 2 - 06/23/81
Mrs. Dorothy Sutton, 101 N.W. 9th Avenue, spoke in opposi-
tion of the tent. She has a great amount of ~espect for Pastor Dennis
and his church but they do not want the tent in their neighborhood. She
is concerned about the noise level, security, health facilities and
parking. There is also a tent two blocks south of them; so there are
two tents in one neighborhood at the same time.
Mr. Kenneth Gary, 128 N.W. 9th Avenue, asked what hours they
intend to conduct services in the tent. He is concerned about noise and
security. In response to Mr. Gary's question, Reverend Dennis replied
that they plan to conduct for about two to three weeks a vacation bible
school which would start about 10:00 A.M. and end about 12:00 noon or
1:00 P.M. In the evenings, their meetings would start about 7:30 P.M.
and end no later than 9:15 P.M. Microphones or speakers would be turned
in; none would be out.
Mrs. Lucille Wright stated that the tent is right in front
of her window by her front door. Regardless of what time they conduct
their meetings, the tent should not be there. She is strongly opposed
to its presence in that location.
Mrs. Gary spoke in regard to a remark made by Reverend
Dennis relative to noise. She asked how they propose to keep the noise
from coming out of the tent. Reverend Dennis replied that he has run
tent meetings for many years; he is familiar with complaints such as
these and knows how to control them.
Mayor Weekes stated that in spite of the fact that he has
known Reverend Dennis a long time and considers him a friend, he feels
that the Reverend is doing a disservice to the community by continuing
to insist that the meetings be held in that location.
The City Manager stated that it seems to him that relocating
the tent would not be that big a job. It also seems that Reverend
Dennis was lamenting the fact that notices had gone out to people who
were expecting the tent to be at a specific location. He asked if it
would be possible to work out a compromise for the church to use the
tent at its present location for a week or so in which time it would
become known, and they could publicize the fact, that it would be lo-
cated elsewhere after that, in Pompey Park for example.
Reverend Dennis replied that that would be difficult to do
as they have gotten a permit from the City for wiring at a certain
location; the Health Department and Fire Department have approved a
specific area and the insurance is already written.
The City Manager advised that as far as the City is con-
cerned all permits would be transferable from one location to another
without a problem; he can't speak to the insurance issue. Mayor Weekes
stated that based on his experience in the insurance business he would
think that a simple telephone call from the agent who handled it notify-
ing the company of the change and asking them to approve the change
would be sufficient to take care of that; he can't see that it would
take a great deal of time to accomplish that change.
Reverend Dennis noted that all over the United States this
summer, Pastors, such as himself in the Seventh Day Adventist denomi-
nation, are pitching tents. People are backlogged with insurance
certificates and that's the reason they gave him as to why it has to
take four weeks for them to send it from Washington to Florida.
Mr. Scheifley asked if there is any legal means of requiring
the removal of this tent to Pompey Park at the end of one week. The
City Attorney replied, yes, from what he has heard of what was on the
agenda and the minutes of the meeting, the location that was actually
approved by Council was for southwest, not northwest.
Mrs. Durante noted that they are now discussing two items at
the same time; banning tents (7.a.) and the permit to erect a tent
(7.b.).
The City Attorney stated that Council could adopt a motion
giving the Reverend a reasonable period of time to remove the tent; a
week, if Council feels that is reasonable, and, at that time authorize
another location.
- 3 - 06/23/81
Reverend Dennis noted that Mrs. Durante indicated the Pompey
site to him a few days ago. He explained to her then that a tent on
that piece of property would be basically hidden. They pitched a tent
at a place where people will pass by, see it, be attracted to it and
come to see what's happening there. If they agree to put the tent where
Mrs. Durante suggested, they would be defeating their whole purpose.
However, if community opposition is going to defeat their purpose, he
would rather see the tent being hidden as opposed to these people con-
stantly calling City Hall about it. He would rather put the tent by
Pompey Park, on City property, just for a peaceful life, assuming that
the neighbors on the other side will not complain. They have to open
this coming Sunday. If the City Manager will give them the go ahead to
have all the legal papers transferred to that location, they will go
along with it.
The City Attorney advised that Council will first need a
motion to bring up item 7.b. at this time and, after that is approved,
they will need a separate motion to approve the new location of Pompey
Park.
Mr. Bird asked if they are all in agreement as to what they
are going to do about 7.a.; he would like Council's concurrence to
direct the City Attorney to investigate this. Mr. Scheifley stated that
he would not vote for an ordinance banning tents completely because
there are other uses which he thinks might be beneficial to the com-
munity; it should be on a case by case basis. Mrs. Durante added that
this issue was not aimed at banning tents for the Delray Affair, Roots
Festival or any function of that nature; however, they felt that because
it was so easy to get a permit to erect a tent, they had religious
organizations putting up tents without proper research being done. Mr
Bird added that he believes that if each of these people had received a
letter informing them that Council was going to meet to formally approve
a tent across the street from them that they would have been here.
It was the consensus of Council to have the City Attorney
come back to Council with a recommendation on item 7.a.
7.b. Mr. Bird moved to bring up item 7.b. at this time, seconded
by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Scheifley moved that Reverend Dennis be instructed to
move his tent and operation to either the officially approved original
request location or to Pompey Park by Wednesday, July 1st, and that
permission is granted by this motion to authorize use of Pompey Park for
this purpose and such permits as are necessary will be redone by the
City to facilitate the move, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion
passed unanimously.
6.a.1. The City Attorney reported that there is a contract before
Council for consideration. This is the contract for the purchase of the
park property at Lake Ida Road and Barwick Road. He called to Council's
attention a provision on Exhibit C in paragraph 2; the language here
specifically relates to future platting that may occur and the property
that lies to the north of the park. It was agreed that the purchase
price of the park property would be $25,000 an acre and that when future
plats come through and a request is made for a payment in lieu of a park
dedication that the valuation that will be placed on the acreage that
would otherwise be dedicated is $25,000 an acre without interest.
Mayor Weekes advised that he has attended several meetings
with the City Attorney and with the present purchasers of the contract
of this land and he feels that what they have come up with is a fair
proposition.
Mr. Bird moved to approve the contract and to authorize the
Mayor to execute it, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed
unanimously.
6.a.2. The City Manager passed out to Council copies of the cash
management study done by MICA for the City. He reported that it was
just recently received.
- 4 - 06/23/81
6.a.3. The City Manager reported that the City is in receipt of an
application for water service to serve five buildings in the vicinity of
the flea market, 2345 N. Federal Highway; the reason being that the
Health Department has just discontinued use of well waters. It is
recommended that Council authorize the execution of the City's standard
water service/annexation agreement.
Mr. Bird asked if DER went in and asked them to shut down
their wells with no forewarning. The City Manager replied that he
doesn't know when they received their warning; he heard about it this
morning. The City Manager added that the land is in a ~pocket so it is
not eligible for annexation at this point in time; it presumably will be
eligible some time in the future.
Mr. Bird stated that the area by the flea market along
Federal is all pretty well built up and questioned how it occurs that
they can have some houses that are jeopardized and some others that are
not. The City Manager replied that he doesn't really know but he would
not be surprised if they were small cottage-type buildings rather than
conventional single family residences, but he isn't certain of that.
Mr. Bird stated that his point is that it would seem to him that the
well water in that whole area would be bad. The City Manager stated
that it could be bad for these buildings and not so bad for a building
nearby.
Mrs. Durante moved to authorize execution of the standard
annexation/water service agreement, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Said
motion passed unanimously.
6.a.4. The City Manager reported that the City is in receipt of a
bill for $2,000 for the appraisal of the Hoffman property on the Intra-
coastal Waterway. It is recommended that Council authorize a transfer
of $2,000 from the General Fund Contingency Account to pay the bill.
Mrs. Durante moved to authorize the transfer of $2,000 from
the General Fund Contingency Account to pay this bill, seconded by Mr.
Scheifley. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Scheifley -
Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Bird - No; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 3 to 1 vote.
Before roll call, Mr. Bird asked if they have any money left
in their Park Acquisition Fund. Since they are planning to use this for
park land, he feels maybe it would be a more appropriate source of
funding. Upon further question, the City Manager replied that there is
money left in the account from the sale of City lands.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.a.5. The City Manager reported that the City is in receipt of a
$1,900 bill from Alvin Bean, Administrative Director of the SCRWTD
Board, for payment for meter analysis for the sewage treatment plant.
Council may consider authorizing payment of that bill.
Mr. Bird moved to pay this bill from the Sewer System Fund,
seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.b. CONSENT AGENDA
The City Manager requested that items 8 and 20 be removed
from the Consent Agenda and the City Attorney requested that item 17 be
removed from the Consent Agenda for separate discussion.
The City Manager reported on the following items to be
considered by Council as the Consent Agenda:
.(1) It is recommended that Council authorize execution of
Conditional Permit Agreement between the City and Lake Worth Drainage
District relative to Force Main 50 and Force Main 80 Canal Crossings.
(2) It is recommended that Council authorize execution of
an agreement between the City and David R. Murphree relative to reim-
bursement to the City of $600 for damages to trees.
- 5 - 06/23/81
(3) The Drug Enforcement Administration in the past several
years has assisted the Police Department in numerous drug cases but has
not requested monies, compensation or share in any of the confiscated
articles. Due to Federal budget cuts, they are requesting that one of
the vans seized in the drug arrest in August 1980 be turned over to
their office. The 1977 Dodge van is valued at approximately $1,700.
Approval is recommended.
(4) It is recommended that $1,900 be transferred, by mo-
tion, from the General Fund Contingency Account for the preparation of
plans for electrical improvements at the City Marina.
(5) The Beautification Committee has recommended the ap-
pointments of Jay Petersen and Phillip Carow to the committee. These
appointments would fill two of the four vacancies which exist. Approval
is recommended.
(6) If Council is ready to do so, consideration may be
given to the reappointment of Clifford Durden as a member of the Delray
Beach Housing Authority to a four-year term ending July 14, 1985. Mr.
Durden is willing to serve if reappointed. Approval is recommended.
(7) Consideration may be given, if Council is ready to do
so, to the reappointment of Morgan Zook as a member of the Delray Beach
Downtown Development Authority to a three-year term ending on July 1,
1984. Mr. Zook is willing to serve if reappointed. Approval is recom-
mended.
(9) The following bids have been received to repair the
Fire Department 85-foot Snorkel:
Bidder Quotation
Emergency One $14,803.90

Snorkel $15,000.00
St. Joseph, MO F.O.B. St. Joseph
Both bids require the City to pay for transportation of the vehicle to
and from the plants where the work will be completed. Round-trip trans-
portation to St. Joseph would be over $3,000 compared to approximately
$200 round-trip to Ocala. It is recommended that the contract be
awarded to the low bidder, Emergency One in the amount of $14,803.90
with funding to come from funds in the 1980-81 budget.
(10) As discussed at the June 16th workshop meeting, Council
is to consider Change Order No. 2 between the City and Hardrives of
Delray, Inc. to add a third southbound land at U.S. No.1/south of Lin-
dell Boulevard which will provide access to the business properties on
the west side of U.S. No. 1. It is recommended that Council authorize
Change Order No. 2 which will increase the contract price by $15,000 for
a total of $120,435, with funding to come from the sale of City land.
(11) It is recommended that minutes of the Beautification
Committee meeting of June 3, 1981 be acknowledged.

Firefighters of Delray Beach requesting permission to solicit funds on
July 25, 1981, approval of which is recommended by the Solicitations

passed unanimously.

South Central Regional Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Board's action
at the June 10, 1981 meeting to have the Board take responsibility for
the plant operation and terminate the Operation Agreement with the City
of Delray Beach in an orderly manner be approved. Action of the Board
requires ratification by the City of Delray Beach and the City of
Boynton Beach.
The City Manager stated that the reason he asked that this
item be removed from the Consent Agenda is because the agenda says that
approval is recommended and he is not in favor of this.
Mr. Bird moved for adoption of item 6.b.(8), ratification of
the action of the SCRTWD Board, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mrs. Durante - No;
Mr. Bird - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1
vote.
6.b.(17) The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 53-81 relative

cussed at the workshop meeting on June 16th. Approval is recommended.

(Copy of Resolution No. 53-81 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
- 8 - 06/23/81
The City Attorney reported that there is another item on the
agenda which involves the same transfer, item 8.i., Ordinance No. 50-81.
He requested that Council make a motion to consider both items at this
time.
Mr. Bird moved to consider both item 8.i. and item 6.b.(17)
at this time, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
The City Attorney reported that in regard to each of these,
the attorney for the current franchise holder has requested that the
effective date language be amended so that the transfer does not become
effective until such time as they have received written notification
from both Fairbanks Cable of Florida and the current franchise holder,
Leadership Cablevision Associates, that they have effected the sale of
their system and it has been transferred to the new franchisee. He is
agreeable to this. He suggests that they set a date not later than 60
days from tonight's meeting, in which event, if they have not received
notice, both resolution and ordinance are of no further force and ef-
fect. It would be appropriate for Council, if Council is agreeable, to
make a motion to adopt Resolution No. 53-81 with that amended language.
Mr. Bird moved to adopt Resolution No. 53-81 with the
amended language as advised by the City Attorney, seconded by Mr.
Scheifley. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Scheifley -
Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Bird - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.

units and it has not yet been workshopped.

Road, Lantana, one of the partners for the venture, if he is in agree-
ment with the staff conditions included in the Planning & Zoning Board's

REGULAR AGENDA
6.c. The City Manager reported that three bids were received for
a soft drink vending machine program in which the City would share in
the profits. Council may either authorize the City Attorney to draft a
contract between the City and Coca Cola or refer to workshop. They
estimate that a contract with the Coca Cola Company would net something
on the order of $12,000 a year. The City Manager elaborated further on
the other two bids and why they have chosen the Coca Cola Company.
Mr. Bird moved that the City Attorney be authorized to draft
a preliminary contract with the Coca Cola Company for a period not to
exceed two years, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr.
Scheifley asked what care would be taken to prevent the littering of
cans and if this would be a problem. The City Manager replied that
there is that possibility. Upon question by Mayor Weekes, the City
Manager replied that if it proves to be a nuisance the contract does
enable them to remove the machines. Upon question by Mr. Portnay, the
City Manager replied that the City will control the price of the drink.
The price has not been set as of this time; it will be in line with the
going rate or the City will not agree to it. Further discussion was had
in regard to the price of the drink.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

the previous action on the part of the Council purchasing the acreage,
he found, in his deliberations with Mr. Hoffman and his associates, that
it was done in a very good spirit of cooperation by those people and on
behalf of the City as well. They accomplished something that they have

parcel of land for a public park and an acceptable configuration. He
commended Mr. Hoffman and his associates for their cooperative spirit in
getting this done.

conversion since all of the existing apartments that could be converted
are grandfathered in. It seems to him that what they're really doing is

facilities throughout the beach area of the City. Mrs. Elizabeth
