J. Eldon Mariott, City Attorney Roger Saberson, and Council members
James H. Scheifley, Charlotte G. Durante, Leo A. Blair, and Malcolm T.
Bird, present.

meeting of August 11, 1981, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed
unanimously.

award to the City of Delray Beach for unselfish support in the enhance-
ment of cultural heritage.
4.a.1. Mr. Bird expressed his concern over the problems of bill-
boards. He objects to the railroads making their rights-of-way avail-
able for billboard use and suggests that Council look into this further.
4.a.2. Mr. Bird discussed the need for a utility building at Miller
Park for the storage of equipment and further discussed the possible
sources of funding.
Mr. Bird moved to reaffirm Council's previous authorization
that this building be built as quickly as possible, seconded by Mr.
Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call, further discussion was had in regard to
funding. The City Manager stated that authorization has already been
given and Council can either designate the funding source now or at a
later time; possible sources would be the sale of City land or the FP&L
franchise. It was the consensus of Council to designate the funding
source at a later time.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
4.b.1. Mrs. Durante discussed the selection committee for the City
Manager's position. She suggested that they have someone from the Black
community serve on that committee; she recommended Mr. Spencer Pompey.
Mrs. Durante moved to appoint Mr. Pompey to the citizens
selection committee for the City Manager's position, seconded by Mr.
Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
4.c.1. Mr. Scheifley agreed with Mr. Bird's comments about bill-
boards and added that he would like for them to try and eliminate the
two billboards at the entrance to Miller Park. However, he recommends
that they not do anything about billboards until his pending court case
is settled.
4.c.2. Mr. Scheifley requested that the Delray Beach Country Club
be put on next Tuesday's workshop agenda.
4.c.3. Mr. Scheifley discussed a letter that appeared in yester-
day's Monday Paper, written by Joseph O'Connell, Jr. Mr. Scheifley
stated that there are many misstatements of fact regarding City Council
and the bond issue election in this letter and he cited several of them.
He added that these are the views of the gentleman who wrote the letter,
not the views of the Monday Paper.
4.d.1. Mayor Weekes stated that he would like to arrange a workshop
for tomorrow to discuss the position of the interim City Manager.
118
It was the consensus of Council to hold the meeting tomorrow
at 5:00 P.M.
5. There were. no public requests from the floor.
6.a.1. The City Manager reported that the SCRWTD Board adopted the
administrative budget for the new year and it needs ratification by the

seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.a.2. The City Manager reported that the SCRWTD Board, on August
20th, authorized the firm of Russell & Axon to proceed with plans and
specifications with regard to securing bids on an interim sludge stabi-
lization and conditioning facility at the plant.
Mr. Bird moved to ratify the action of the SCRWTD Board,
seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager requested that on the preface for item
6.b.2. they add that "adoption of Resolution No. 73-81 is recommended."
There are two actions involved; one is approval of the agreement and the
other is adoption of the resolution. The City Manager noted that on
page 2 of the preface, item 6.b.8., second paragraph, the figure should
read "$4,616" instead of $1,616. He also requested that item 6.b.13. be
completely removed from the agenda for tonight's meeting; some addi-
tional research needs to be done on that item. Mr. Scheifley requested
that item 6.b. ll. be pulled from the Consent Agenda for discussion.
6.b. CONSENT AGENDA
The City Manager reported on the following items which are
to be considered by Council as the Consent Agenda:
(1) As discussed at the workshop meeting on August 18th,
Council is to consider authorizing the securing of an appraisal of the
City-owned property located at the southwest corner of N.W. 8th Avenue
and N.W. 2nd Street that would include all of the land, excluding Lots
23 and 24 leased to the American Legion. Approval is recommended.
..!2) It is recommended that Council authorize execution of a
traffic signal agreement for signalization between the City and Florida
Department of Transportation at the intersection of East Atlantic Avenue
(State Road 806) and East 7th Avenue. It is necessary to have an agree-
ment between the City and DOT since this is a State road. Resolution
No. 113-80 was adopted on November 25, 1980 authorizing execution of the
agreement. The City Attorney's office made changes in paragraphs 1 and
8 of the agreement, which DOT says are acceptable. This is the reason
the matter is back before Council for approval of the agreement modifi-
cation. Adoption of Resolution No. 73-81 is recommended.
The caption of Resolution No. 73-81 is as follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF THE TRAFFIC
SIGNAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH.
(Copy of Resolution No. 73-81 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
(3) It is recommended that Council authorize execution of a
traffic control agreement for signalization between the City and Palm
Beach County at the intersection of East Atlantic Avenue (State Road
806) and East 7th Avenue. When the traffic signal installation is
completed, Palm Beach County will assume responsibility for the main-
tenance and operation.
- 2 - 08/25/81

(.4) A communication has been received from Treasu3~e Coast
Regional Planning Council dated August 10th requesting A-95 CLearing-
house review and comment relative to FY 1981-82 701 Application Compre-
hensive Planning Assistance. This grant is to augment the planning
programs of the Council and Area Planning Board for FY 81. Council has
been furnished with a copy of a letter dated August 13th from the City
Manager to the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council stating that the
program will have no adverse effects on the local natural, social or
economic environment and there is no duplication between efforts of the
proposed program and those of any related local projects or programs.
Approval is recommended.
(5) It is recommended that Council authorize execution of a
traffic control agreement between the City and Palm Beach County for
signalization at the intersection of Lake Ida Road and Barwick Road.
The County will install and maintain these traffic control devices.
(6) As discussed informally at the workshop meeting on
August 18th, Council is to consider an extension on the completion date
of the north-south alley between N.E. 3rd Avenue and the FEC Railroad to
October 12, 1981. Since Southern Bell has delayed the contractor, thus
preventing the work being completed within the approved time frame, the
extension is considered to be justifiable. Approval of the extension to
October 12th is recommended.
(7) It is requested that a 1976 Dodge van seized in a drug
arrest in March, 1981 be turned over to the Engineering Department for
use by the parking meter employee. The van is valued at approximately
$1500. The van is to be used for the parking meter technician to col-
lect from the parking meters and carry out repairs as required. When
the financial study was made for parking meters, it included the pur-
chase of a van along with the hiring of a parking meter technician. The
capital outlay for parking facilities in the 1980-81 budget was approved
in the amount .of $40,000. Although it does not specifically identify
the van, it was included in the submission as a capital outlay request.
Approval is recommended.
(8) The standard Developers Utility Service Agreement has
been received from Mitchell Homes, an Alabama general partnership, for
water and sewer service for Federal Plaza Extension-Phase III. A check
in the amount of $4,616 has been deposited in the Developers' Fund to
cover 4.616 acres at $1,000 per acre. Council previously approved
providing water and sewer service for Phase III. It is recommended that
Council approve execution of the agreement. This item was deferred at
the August llth meeting in order to verify prior Council approval for
the providing of the service, which has now been done.
(9)~ As discussed at the August 18th workshop meeting,
Council is to consider the appointments of Mrs. Dorothy Appel and Mrs.
Dora McRae to the Beautification Committee. These appointments will
fill two of the four vacancies which exist. Approval is recommended.
(10) It is recommended that the minutes of the Beautifica-
tion Committee meeting of August 4, 1981 be acknowledged.
(12) It is recommended that sanitary sewers and water
utilities installed in The Point be accepted as operational by adoption
of Resolution No. 71-81.
The caption of Resolution No. 71-81 is as follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING ALL THE SANITARY SEWERS AND
WATER UTILITIES INSTALLED IN "THE POINT" DEVELOPMENT AS
RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK 41, PAGES 61 AND 62 OF THE PUBLIC

(Copy of Resolution No. 71-81 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
(14) The Planning & Zoning Board at a meeting held on August
7th, recommended by unanimous vote that the conditional use approval for
the Professional Office Building for Dr. Westine, located south of N.E.
8th Street between N. E. 3rd Avenue and the FEC Railroad which expires
on September 23, 1981 be extended for one year to September 23, 1982.
This was discussed at the workshop meeting on August 18. Approval is
recommended.
Mr. Bird moved for adoption of the Consent Agenda as amended
by the City Manager with the exception of items 6.b.ll and 6.b.13,
seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
REGULAR AGENDA
6.b.ll. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 70-81 provides
for assessment of cost incurred by the City in abating a previously
determined nuisance against certain property, the owner of which failed
to abate such nuisances within the allotted time from date of original
nuisance violation notice. Council may request any further desired
information in lieu of which, and in compliance with Section 13 of the
City's Code of Ordinances, adoption of Resolution No. 70-81 is recom-
mended.
The caption of Resolution No. 70-81 is as follows:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 13 OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, ASSESSING COSTS
FOR ABATING NUISANCES UPON CERTAIN LAND(S) LOCATED WITHIN
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH; SETTING OUT ACTUAL COSTS IN-
CURRED BY THE CITY TO ACCOMPLISH SUCH ABATEMENT AND LEVY-
ING THE COST OF SUCH ABATEMENT OF NUISANCES; PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR A DUE DATE AND INTEREST ON
ASSESSMENTS; PROVIDING FOR THE RECORDING OF THIS RESOLU-
TION, AND DECLARING SAID LEVY TO BE A LIEN UPON THE
SUBJECT PROPERTY FOR UNPAID ASSESSMENTS; PROVIDING FOR
THE MAILING OF NOTICE OF LIEN.
(Copy of Resolution No. 70-81 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mr. Scheifley stated that they have been told that these
costs are the actual low bid figures for clearing the property. If that
assumption is correct, he recommends that $150 be added to the $495 to
cover legal, police and clerical costs.
The City Manager stated that a suggestion was made at a
recent meeting to study thoroughly and analyze the cost to the City for
abating these nuisances; that study is ongoing. It seems to him that
they could not, in good conscience, step in in the middle of it and
arbitrarily pick a figure out of the air and add it to the clearing cost
in one instance. Mr. Scheifley then suggested adding $100 rather than
$150. Mr. Bird suggested adding on the charge but setting aside the
$100 until the study is completed; then if there is an excess, it should
be returned to the property owner. Mr. Scheifley concurred with Mr.
Bird's suggestion. ~
The City Attorney recommended that the ordinance be amended
to specifically provide that they will charge the property owner with
the administrative costs as part of the nuisance abatement before City
Council takes this action.
Mr. Scheifley stated that he feels that they should do this
as soon as possible. Mrs. Durante stated that they should be keeping
track of how -much legal time they sDend on these nuisances and charge
accprdingly. Mr. Scheifley added that there is a tremendous amount of
work involved.

121
Mr. Scheifley moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 70-81
with the condition that the figure $495 be amended to $5!~5, 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 -
No. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Mayor Weekes stated that he does not wish to go against the
recommendation of the City Attorney.
6.c. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the workshop
meeting on August 18th, Council is to consider authorizing purchase of a
meter to be installed in the influent force main to the Regional Plant
at an estimated cost of $16,815, with funding to come from the Water and
Sewer Contingency Account. Approval is recommended.
Mrs. Durante moved to authorize the purchase of a meter for
the Utilities Department at an estimated cost of $16,815 with funding to
come from the Water and Sewer Contingency Account, seconded by Mr.
Scheifley. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Scheifley -
Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr. Bird - No; Mayor Weekes -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 1 vote.
Before roll call, Mr. Bird stated that meters at the Waste-
water Plant have been a continuing problem for them. He would rather
see them spend $16,000 to resolve that problem than have one more meter
that no one is going to believe.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mayor Weekes left the Council Chambers for the discussion on
item 7.a. and Vice-Mayor Scheifley took the chair.
7.a. The City Manager reported that a request has been received
that the conditional use and site and development plan for Old Harbour
to allow 304 units in four, six-story buildings be approved. This item
was considered at the Planning & Zoning Board meeting held on August
25th at 8:30 a.m. Council, at the July 28th meeting, referred this to
the Planning & Zoning Board for further study and recommendation. This
item was skipped over at the August llth meeting.
The City Attorney reported that the plan originally submit-
ted by the developer was recommended for denial by the Planning & Zoning
Board. The amended plan was submitted to the Planning & Zoning Board
today and they decided that they would like to conduct another public
hearing on this and he concurs in that opinion. There is a question as
to when the public hearing can be held. If the Planning & Zoning Board
is willing, there could be a hearing as early as the 9th or 10th of
September which recommendation could be acted upon by Council at its
September 15th meeting. Upon question by Mrs. Durante, the City Attor-
ney replied that when they discussed this before he said specifically
that anything other than a minor change would require another public
hearing.
Mr. Dick Siemens, developer, reviewed the steps they have
gone through with the City as regards this project. He presented the
amended site plan and explained the changes they have made to it. In
his opinion, they acceded to the wishes of the Planning & Zoning Board
and made an honest effort to try and produce what they asked and he
feels that the modifications to this site plan are very minor.
Mr. Doak Campbell, Planning & Zoning Board, stated that the
majority of the Board feels that this is an acceptable plan. The Board
felt that it would be necessary to have the public make input before a
final vote is taken. He thinks that the Board would be willing to hold
a special meeting for the public hearing.
Mr. Siemens, stated that it would cause a lot of incon-
venience for the Planning & Zoning Board to hold a special meeting for
the sake of saving one week. If Council decides that it should go to
another public hearing then he thinks it should be done on the date when
the Planning & Zoning Board meets. He just doesn't agree with the basic
principle that this change is a substantial change: he thinks ~ is ~
minor modification.
- 5 - 08/25/81
122
Mrs. Durante stated that she feels that Mr. Siemens has been
very cooperative and that the Planning & Zoning Board should be asked to
have a special meeting as soon as possible and have a public hearing on
it; Mr. Scheifley agreed. Mr. Bird noted that Mr. Siemens has already
agreed to go to the next regular meeting of the Planning & Zoning Board
on September 21st and come before Council on the 22nd. Upon question by
Mrs. Durante, the City Attorney stated that in view of the circumstances
that involve this particular application, the changes that have been
made and what took place at the Planning & Zoning Board level, he feels
that the public should be notified again. Mr. Blair stated that he is
in favor of the project, but he concurs with the recommendation made by
the City Attorney that it should have another public hearing.
Mr. Blair moved to table this until they receive a recom-
mendation back from the Planning & Zoning Board, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Said motion passed unanimously.
Upon question by Mrs. Durante, Mr. Campbell stated that the
Board did not rule upon whether it was a major or minor site plan modi-
fication. Their decision to have a public hearing was based on the
Board members changing their votes. They felt that the public had a
right to have input, in light of that change in position.
The City Attorney stated that if a change is significant
enough for the Board to change its position, then it should not be
construed to be a minor change. Mr. Bird suggested that perhaps they
should establish some absolute ground rules. He thinks there was a
misunderstanding as to what constitutes a major modification. He does
not find anything objectionable about the plan as presented and he would
concur with Mr. Blair & Mr. Scheifley that if it comes back to them he
will vote in favor of it.
Mayor Weekes returned to the meeting at this time.
8.a. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 56-81, amending
Chapter 9 "Buildings and~Construction" of the Code of Ordinances rela-
tive to adding vehicular signs to the list of prohibited signs is before
Council for consideration on Second and FINAL Reading. This ordinance
