11-10-81 NOVEMBER 10, 1981
A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 7:05 P.M., Tuesday,
November 10, 1981, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes, presiding and City Manager
Robert H. Fisk, 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 Rabbi Samuel Silver,
Temple Sinai.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
I.a. Mr. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the regular
~eeting of October 27, 1981 and special meeting of October 20, 1981,
~econded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
3.b. Mr. David Nathanson, on behalf of the residents of Pines of
Delray North and Rainberry Bay, gave a presentation regarding the odors
emanating from the Wastewater Treatment Plant. He discussed three
areas: (1) the hydrogen sulfide level; (2) the design of the Plant; and
(3) the operation of the Plant. He noted that with the use of Audophaus,
the hydrogen sulfide is down to four parts or less; however, according
to the manufacturer's specifications, the level should drop to less than
one percent. They are here tonight to request the following: (1) the
continued use of Audophaus at a level that will maintain the effluent at
at least one part per million or less; (2) that this Council contact its
counterpart and an emergency meeting be held; (3) that Council select a
professional, experienced, private firm to operate this plant and have
them in place no later than January 1, 1982. By law and by mandate of
Congress and the State, residents are entitled to clean, pure air.
They insist on quick, decisive action and demand that Council act to
correct the intolerable situation. If need be they will obtain their
objective by judicial action.
Mayor Weekes commended Mr. Nathanson on his presentation and
suggested that he make the same presentation before the Boynton Beach
City Council, as they, too, are responsible for the operation of the
plant. In regard to Audophaus, as far as he knows, no restrictions were
placed upon the people conducting the program. If there are restric-
tions, he requests that the City Manager see that they are removed at
once. Regarding the appointment of a private contractor, they will
close reception of those proposals the end of this week. He hopes that
the Board can meet next week to screen these purveyors and come up with
a selection. The most productive thing they can do in the short term is
to get a qualified contractor to operate that facility. Mayor Weekes
invited Mr. Nathanson to serve with them on the screening committee.
Mr. Willard V. Young, Interim Director of the Board for the
~Tastewater Plant, advised that they have already received 13 proposals
.o operate the .plant. As soon as they receive the final proposal, which
hould be next Monday, the proposals will be reviewed by the screening
~ommittee.
Mrs. Durante complimented Mr. Nathanson's fine presentation.
She stated that Council appreciates the patience that the residents have
shown and Council is willing to do whatever it can to solve the problem.
Mayor Weekes declared a five minute recess, the time being
7:33 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 7:38 P.M.
4.a.1. Mr. Scheifley thanked everyone who sent cards, gifts and
flowers to him in the hospital.
4.a.2. Mr. Scheifley advised that at a hearing today before the
Legislative Committee (one Senator and two Representatives), the three
of them voted unanimously to retain the Solid Waste Authority and will
recommend such to the rest of the Legislative Delegation. He congratu-
lated Mr. Bird for the tremendous victory that he and the Solid Waste
Authority obtained.
4.a.3. Mr. Scheifley advised that he had a call today from Mr.
Ernie Shear whose grandchild attends Carver Middle School. Mr. Shear
and others were appalled by the reports in last Saturday's news; the
accusation is that students have been urinating in the drinking foun-
tains for two years. This morning Mr. Shear visited Mr. Kelly Brown,
Principal of Carver Middle School, and learned that the news reports
were 100% accurate. Mr. Scheifley suggested to Mr. Shear that he go see
Mr. Mills, Superintendent of the School Board, in regard to this pro-
blem. Mr. Shear could not be at the meeting tonight but has requested
that City Council lend support to correct the intolerable situation at
Carver Middle School.
It was the consensus of Council to have Mayor Weekes call
Mr. Kelly Brown and ask him what type of support Council can offer and
to discuss this further at the next workshop meeting.
4.b.1. Mr. Blair reported on the Clean-up Campaign. He advised
that this Saturday morning at 8:00 A.M., a work force will meet at City
Hall. They plan to work from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. on cleaning up the
rights-of-way at the City entrances. Everyone is welcome to come and
help.
Mayor Weekes stated that he is dismayed by the rather sparse
coverage in the press regarding the Clean-up Campaign and he hopes there
will be more press coverage prior to Saturday.
4.c.1. Regarding the Solid Waste Authority (item 4.a.2.), Mr. Bird
stated that it could not have been done without the help of all the
elected officials who took hours of their time today to support the
retention of the Solid Waste Authority. He thanks everyone who parti-
cipated.
4.c.2. Mr. Bird advised that at a meeting of the Municipal League
of Palm Beach County today, Senator Tom Lewis reported that in every
level and in every way funding is getting tougher and money is getting
tighter. Mr. Bird added that he read a news article which mentioned
that the State, too, is going to operate with reduced revenues. He
feels that this would be an appropriate time for Council to have their
first income and expenditure report made available to them and to take a
good hard look at it.
It was the consensus of Council to discuss this at a work-
shop next week.
4.c.3. Mr. Bird advised that today is the 206th birthday of the
Marine Corps.
5.a. Mr. Richard Hoffman stated that his company has been towing
for the City on a rotation basis for almost four years. Last week he
received a memorandum from the City Manager indicating that the City is
considering going with one contractor instead of using a rotation basis;
the memo also indicated that this idea was generated by the Police
Department become of some deficiencies in the present service. They
request that this proposal be held in abeyance by Council so that they
and other members of the towing industry can participate in a workshop
meeting and give their input and get answers to some of their questions.
It was the consensus of Council to put this on the agenda
for next Tuesday's workshop meeting and to have the City Manager furnish
Council with some back-up material.
Mr. Hoffman asked if he could discuss this with someone in
the Police Department before the workshop meeting next week. Chief
Kilgore advised that he contact Major Dennis Smith. Upon question by
Mr. Hoffman, the City Manager replied that the tentative specifications
came from Boca Raton.
6.a.1. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 92-81 relative
to the creation of the "Delray Beach Human Relations Committee" is
before Council for consideration. It was the consensus of Council to
add this to the Consent Agenda as item 6.b.(15).
- 2 - 11/10/81
6.a.2. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 93-81 is
before Council for consideration. This resolution expresses support for
the pending applications of the new Delray Community Hospital for an
additional eighty bed capacity and the installation of a cat scanner.
It was the consensus of Council to add this to the Consent Agenda as
item 6.b.(16).
6.a.3. The City Manager reported that the purchase of two thumpers
for the Fire Department is before Council for consideration. It was the
consensus of Council to add this to the Consent Agenda as item 6.b.(17).
6.a.4. The City Manager reported that a request has been received
from Fairfax Properties to return their road improvement fee payment of
$19,775. It was the consensus of Council to add this to the Consent
Agenda as item 6.b.(18).
6.a.5. The City Manager reported that the old playground equipment
at the City Park has to be removed. Mr. Dan Winters, Parks & Recreation
Director, stated that it is recommended they either scrap it, give it
away or donate it; the new equipment will be arriving on approximately
December 16th. He advised that he has requests from two sources who
would like to have the old equipment; one is the Delray Beach Housing
Authority and the other is Miriam Pullum who runs a child care center.
There is a swing set which they plan to take to the Catherine Strong
Center, but as for the rest of the equipment, it would be to the City's
advantage to have somebody come in and carry it off. The City Manager
recommended that the equipment be given to the Delray Beach Housing
Authority since it is a public agency.
Mr. Scheifley moved that the old playground equipment in the
Adult Park, with the exception of the swing set which is going to the
Catherine Strong Center, be given to the Delray Beach Housing Authority
and that the Delray Beach Housing Authority be responsible for the
removal thereof, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mrs. Durante left the Council Chambers at this time.

REGULAR AGENDA
6.c. The City Manager reported that Council is to discuss the
purchase of the Pignato property located at 53 S.E. 4th Avenue.
Mayor Weekes explained that this property, ~which is located
immediately south of the library building, is presently owned by the
Delray Beach Public Library; they have proposed to sell it to the City
for $60,000. The City has a short term need for the property to house
the in-house City Attorney until such time as the expansion of City Hall
can be completed at which time the City Attorney's office will be within
the City Hall. The subject property will then be made a part of the
lease for the overall property which is owned by the City and leased to
the library. Mayor Weekes clarified that the City owns the land on
which the library sits but the library itself was built and paid for
through public donations and public subscriptions. The expansion to the
library will be handled in the same way. In his opinion, it is in the
best interest of the City to make this purchase. The funds will then be
placed by the Library Board in the Downtown Development Authority Park-
ing Fund for use of expansion of the downtown parking.
Mayor Weekes advised that there are two possible sources of
funding. One is the carryover from the FP&L windfall last year; the
balance in that fund is $201,551.94. The other available fund is the
proceeds of the sale of City owned land which has a balance of $250,000.
Mr. Blair moved to approve the purchase of the property with
funding to come from the FP&L carryover, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said
motion passed unanimously. ·
Upon question by Mayor Weekes, the City Attorney advised
that if Council is satisfied with the quality of the appraisal that has
been made, it is not necessary to get another one.
6.d. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the November
3rd workshop meeting, Council is to consider setting a policy relative
to gifts to City employees.
The City Attorney noted that Council established a policy
informally last week. The method of implementation would be for the
City Manager to adopt an amendment to the Code of Civil Service Rules
and Regulations.
Mr. Scheifley noted that he was not present at the dis-
cussion on this item and feels that they should not adopt this policy
unless they plan to enforce it 100%. Mayor Weekes stated that he had a
problem last week with the policy statement which is three pages long.
He doesn't feel it is enforceable; he would rather have a reasonable
policy that they can adhere to. Mrs. Durante also questioned whether a
no-gift policy is enforceable and suggested setting a reasonable limit
on gifts.
- 6 - 11/10/81
Mr. Bird agreed that the policy is not 100% enforceable but
feels that this factor should not prevent Council from adopting it and
setting a standard. He is favor of the no-gift policy. If an employee
violates this policy, he does so at his own risk; if he gets caught he
should be penalized. City employees get adequate salaries and adequate
fringe benefits and residents of the City should not pay any more than
what they are already charged for City services.
Mayor Weekes stated that he doesn't think this policy is
realistic. Mr. Scheifley added that he is concerned about those em-
ployees who are getting from $20 to $100 a day in tips. The boys at the
golf course carry people's bags in and out of the carts and usually get
tipped; he questions how they would enforce the policy in this parti-
cular case. Mr. Bird stated that one solution would be to have an
entrepreneur run that particular facility.
Mr. Blair stated that tipping does get out of hand at the
City level; as the City grows bigger, the size of the gifts gets bigger.
He is in favor of cutting out all gifts and will support the no-gift
policy.
Mayor Weekes stated that he has a check in the amount of $50
made out to the Delray Beach Paramedics from a citizen of Pines of
Delray North for services rendered which saved his life. This citizen
wishes to express publicly how much he appreciated the service and what
a fine group of emergency medical personnel they have in the City.
Mr. Sam Schwimer spoke in opposition of gift giving and
urged Council to adopt and enforce the no-gift policy.
Upon question by the City Manager, the City Attorney advised
that there is a provision in the Code of Civil Service Rules and Regu-
lations that prohibits any employee from soliciting a gift and also
prohibits the acceptance of a gift in exchange for performing to a
degree that is not generally performed for the public.
Mrs. Durante stated that she favors a limit of a $15.00 gift
subject to that provision; however, if the Administration wants and
feels they can enforce a no-gift policy, she is willing to go along with
it. They will have to make the public aware of the policy and one
suggestion would be to have "no tips" signs at the Country Club and
elsewhere. The City Manager felt that it would be just as hard to
enforce a $15.00 limit as it would be to enforce a no-gift policy.
Mr. Scheifley inquired about the generous gifts from condo-
minium associations and individuals to the Paramedics, Fire Department
and Police Departments. The City Attorney replied that this would not
be stopped. Mr. Sam Schwimer elaborated that the gifts given to those
departments are in the form of gifts to the operation, not to the indi-
vidual; he does not oppose this type of gift.
Mr. Bird moved that they formally establish and ask the City
Manager to implement a no-gift policy, seconded by Mr. Blair. Upon roll
call Council voted as follows: Mr. Scheifley - No; Mrs. Durante - Yes;
Mr. Blair - Yes; Mr. Bird - Yes; Mayor Weekes - No. Said motion passed
with a 3 to 2 vote.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Upon
question by Mrs. Durante, the City Attorney replied that they will have
to amend the Civil Service Code of Rules and Regulations. Mr. Scheifley
stated that he firmly believes that a no-gift policy cannot and will not
be enforced. Mrs. Durante inquired as to an effective date. The City
Attorney suggested that they let the City Manager work that out in the
preparation of the policy; it is Council's intention t~at employees be
given adequate notice, that it be posted and everyone made aware of it.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.e. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the November
3rd workshoP meeting, Council is to consider the formal appointment of
Herbert W.A. Thiele as full time City Attorney.
- 7 - 11/10/81
!02
The City Attorney noted that Council expressed the intention
that the transition occur on December 1st. He recommends that they
appoint Mr. Thiele effective December 1st, subject to the financial
arrangements between his office and the City not changing until such
time as Mr. Thiele is situated in the new office in the Pignato build-
ing. In the meantime he would continue to bill for his time and to pay
all the overhead from the City Attorney's office; when the separation
occurs the City would then pay Mr. Thiele's salary and all the overhead
associated with that office.
Mr. Bird moved to appoint Herbert W.A. Thiele as full time
City Attorney commencing on the 1st of December, 1981, with the condi-
tions as explained by City Attorney Saberson, seconded by Mr. Blair.
Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: upon
question by Mayor Weekes, the City Attorney replied that the compensa-
tion package should be part of the motion; it is understood that the
salary is $35,000 annually plus benefits as outlined in a memorandum to
Council.
After discussion, it was the consensus of Council to make
the appointment and set the date tonight and discuss the City Attorney's
budget another time. Mr. Bird suggested they discuss it at the budget
workshop meeting he requested for next week. Council concurred. (Time
and date for this meeting have not yet been set).
At this point the roll was called to the motion on the
floor.
6.f. The City Manager reported that Council is to consider the
fun~ing for Plumosa Park Recreation Facilities.
Dr. Scott McOwen reported that in order to complete the
Plumosa Park project, which is a City/School Board sharing program, they
will need $120,000. The School Board has agreed to fund $35,000. If
the City will match it, that will make a total of $70,000. They would
then only need $50,000 next year to complete the project. Dr. McOwen
presented a sketch and gave a description of their plans. He also dis-
cussed the benefits to the community.
Mrs. Durante had reservations in regard to giving money to
another taxing authority. Mayor Weekes stated that he has worked dili-
gently for over 11 years for recreation in the City and not once has
Council done anything for the north section of the City. They are get-
ting 50% of this funded by the School Board and he doesn't see any other
way of getting it done. Mr. Blair noted that they have a nice facility
there which is only being used half the time. With the help of the
School Board, he is in f~vor of supporting this project. Mr. Bird
stated that he will support the project on the condition that the fund-
ing comes from land sales and not from the General Fund.
Mr. Bird moved for approval of the request with the $35,000
funding to come from land sales, seconded by Mr. Blair. Said motion
passed unanimously.
8.a. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 88-81 is
before Council for consideration. This resolution authorizes the ex-
change of real property owned by the City with Namil Corporation (Home-
wood Boulevard and Atlantic Avenue). Prior to consideration of passage
of this resolution, a public hearing has been scheduled to be held at
