04-28-80 APRIL 28,1980
A regular meet~ng of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 7:00 P.M., Monday,
April 28, 1980, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes, presiding and City Manager J.
Eldon Mariott, City Attorney Roger Saberson, and Council members Malcolm
T. Bird, Charlotte G. Durante, and Willard V. Young, present. Council
member Scheifley was absent (in Tallahassee on City business).
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Mayor Weekes.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
America was given.
3. Mr. Young moved for approval of the minutes of the special
me---etings of April 8, 1980 and April 14, 1980, seconded by Mr. Bird.
Said motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Weekes announced that Council member Scheifley went'to
Tallahassee on City business and will be unable to attend this meeting.
4.a.1. Mr. Bird stated that in reviewing tonight's agenda, he sees
that once again they will be discussing another item pertaining to the
golf club. He suggested that they ask the City Administration and the
City Attorney to assist the members of the Delray Beach Country Club in
the forming of an association which would report to Council once a year
with their scheduled events.
Mr. Bird moved that the Administration and the City Attorney
move in that direction and come back to Council with a report, seconde~
by Mrs. Durante.
The City Manager recommended that that action not be taken
at this time. There are other things being considered with respect to
the Country Club which, if adopted, he thinks would resolve the problem
that Mr. Bird speaks of.
Mayor Weekes suggested that they go ahead and authorize the
City Attorney and the Administration to look into the possibility of
such a committee and maybe by the time Council is prepared to receive
their report, the City Manager will be ready to come forward with what-
ever suggestion he has before Council takes any formal action in author-
izing such a committee.
Mr. Bird amended his motion as suggested by Mayor Weekes, as
long as they have it done by July 1st, seconded by Mr. Young. Said
motion passed unanimously.
4.b.1. Mrs. Durante complimented the Delray Beach Police Department
in their efforts to bridge the gap between the Police Department and the
community in terms of establishing what she considers to be some very
positive contact with the youth in the community. They have a program
whereby they ask the elementary schools in Delray Beach to select four
safety patrolmen at the school to go on a trip to Disney World sponsored
by the Delray Beach Police Department, all expenses paid and chaperoned
by members of the Police Department as well as someone from the school.
They have been doing this activity for four years now and she encourages
them to continue it.
4.c.1. Mr. Young stated that for some time it has been bothering
him that when Council gets requests to approve site plans, they have
very little back-up connected with it other than the Engineering input
which they get through Mr. Church and also the Planning & Zoning Board's
input. They never have an opportunity to view what the elevation plans
might be. As a result, they get some weird looking structures in Delray
Beach, one in particular is the one on the corner of 8th Street and
Andrews Avenue. He asked if there is some way in which they could get
enough input so that they could intelligently do this.
Mayor Weekes replied that the things that come directly to
Council are those things which are deemed to be fairly well cut and
dried. At any time a Council member feels uncomfortable with that posi-
tion, all he has to do is ask that it be referred to workshop in which
case he can get full back-~p information. The Administration makes an
effort to pull out those things which might seem to them to be contro-
versial and send them to workshop first; but others which seem to be
non-controversial come directly to the Council. Information is always
available at the Planning & Zoning Office.
4.d.1. Mayor Weekes stated that it was suggested to him today by
one of Delray's citizens that they fly the City flags at half-mast until
such time as the bodies of the servicemen who were killed in the raid in
Iran last week are returned to the United States. He feels that it
might be a good idea and asked for input from Council. _
Mr. Young stated that he would be very much in favor of it.
Mr. Bird asked if they have one that is a war memorial type of flagpole
which they could put at half-mast for that purpose and leave the other
City flags at full-mast. Mayor Weekes asked if there is a memorial park
with a flagpole in the public grounds just west of the Intracoastal by
the bridge on Atlantic.
Mr. John George replied that the Mayor is correct. There is
a monument in memory of those citizens of Delray Beach that were lost
during World War II and World War I. There is a flagpole in the back
there which may be flown.
It was the consensus of Council to have an American flag
flown there at half-mast until such time as the bodies of the servicemen
are returned.
5. Mr. John George, 227 N. Seacrest Circle, stated that he is'a
pioneer citizen of Delray Beach, a veteran of World War II, an employer,
a worker and a taxpayer of Delray Beach. He is here tonight to ask for
Council's help. He requested that item 9.b. on tonight's agenda be
referred to a workshop meeting where more detailed viewing may be con-
sidered and a more intelligent and wise decision can be accomplished.
Mr. Young moved to refer item 9.b. to the workshop meeting
next Tuesday night, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.a. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 23-80 is before
Council for consideration on First Reading.
The City Attorney added that this ordinance corrects a
typographical error that occurred in the editorial revision that was
adopted April 1st. All it does is change the headings in the Water and
Sewer Rate ordinance and indicates the rates charged inside the City and
outside the City.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 23-80:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 29, "WATER AND SEWERS",
OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA, BY AMENDING SECTION 29-18 "RATES" TO CORRECT
HEADING ERRORS AND TO ESTABLISH EFFECTIVE DATE OF SAID
RATES; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance.
Mrs. Durante moved for the passage of Ordinance No. 23-80 on
First Reading, seconded by Mr. Bird. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Bird - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Young - Yes; Mayor
Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
6.b. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that
Council waive the greens fees for the hosting of the Palm Beach County
Men's Golf Association on May 14, 1980. Mr. Scheifley informed him
yesterday that he was in favor of granting this approval.
- 2 - 4/28/80
Mrs. Durante moved to waive the greens fees for the Men's
Golf Association in hosting the Palm Beach County Men's Golf Association
on May 14, 1980, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll ca~t, Mr. Bird asked for some input from the
golfers who are not members of the Men's Golf Association. Mr. Charles
Soelch, stated that he is not a member of the Golf Association but he
plays golf frequently and he approves of the motion made by Mrs. Durante.
Mr. Clifford Randall stated that he thinks, in the spirit of hospitality
and friendship, that it would be a good idea to do this. Mrs. Breda
Oakley, President of the Ladies Golf Association, advised the association
approves of this request.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.c. The City Manager reported that Council decided at its April
21st workshop meeting to ask the Financial Advisory Board to make a
special report at tonight's regular Council meeting. Mr. Blaser in-
formed him that the report of the FAB is contained in his memorandum to
Council dated April 23, 1980, a copy of which was furnished to each
member of Council. Mr. Blaser is here tonight to answer questions if
there are any questions that Council might have.
Mayor Weekes suggested that they set a time for a discussion
between the FAB and the Council with regard to other matters which were
broached last week.
It was the consensus of Council to schedule this as the
first item of business on the next workshop agenda.
6.d. The City Manager reported that as was discussed at workshop
on April 21st, Council is to give consideration Monday night to appoint-
ing alternate member Mort Rowe to the Civil Service Board to fill out '
the unexpired term of regular member Thomas Dennis who recently resigned.
The term expires April 1, 1983. Council may also consider appointing an
alternate member to the Civil Service Board to replace Mr. Rowe.
Mr. Bird moved to elevate Mr. Mort Rowe from the position of
alternate member of the Civil Service Board to regular member of the
Board to a term expiring April 1, 1983, seconded by Mr. Young. Said
motion passed unanimously.
It was the consensus of Council to refer the selection of an
alternate member to the next workshop meeting.
6.e. The City Manager reported that as was discussed at workshop
on April 21st, Council is to give consideration to appointing a replace-
ment for Ted Cumming, who recently resigned as a member of the Police
and Fire Pension Board. The term of service would be for three years
until April 22, 1983.
Mr. Young moved that Mr. Brian Pfeifler of the Barnett Bank
be appointed to that Board, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed
unanimously.
6.f. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the workshop
meeting on April 21st, Council is to give consideration to waiving the
Board of Adjustment filing fee in the instance of applications for
screened enclosures at the five following locations:
4761 N.W. 6th Street
4762 N.W. 6th Court
581 N.W. 47th Avenue
591 N.W. 47th Avenue
4874 N.W. 5th Street
Mrs. Durante moved that they waive the Board of Adjustment
filing fees in the instance of the applications for screened enclosures
for those five locations listed in the preface to the agenda, seconded
by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.
- 3 - 4/28/80
Before roll call, Mr. Young asked if they are establishing a
dangerous precedent by doing this. Mayor Weekes replied that if a
similar circumstance arose again, he would not be worried by the pre-
cedent they're setting here if such precedent is being set. He thinks
that fairness and equity prevails in this instance.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.~. The City Manager reported that as was decided at workshop on
April 21st, Council is to give consideration to waiving the Board of
Adjustment filing fee in the instance of several screened enclosures
being erected without building permits.
Mr. Bird moved that they not waive the filing fees, seconded
by Mr. Young.
The City Attorney stated that there was a Board of Adjust-
ment meeting last week at which time six petitions for variances were
considered by the Board for those who did not have building permits.
Out of the six, the Board denied variances in five cases and granted a
variance in one case. Council may want to take these requests on an
individual basis. The principle reason why they granted that one vari-
ance was because the gentleman that owned that house bought it after the
porch had already been constructed.
Mrs. Durante added that last week they talked about waiving
the fees in the cases where the contractors were responsible. Possibly,
they could waive the fee for the homeowner and hold the contractor
reponsible and whenever that contractor comes in to do business again,
he would then have to pay that fee.
The City Attorney replied that for many of these cases, they
don't know who put the screen enclosure up. One of the companies that'
put up several of them was Delray Screen and that company is now out of
business.
Mayor Weekes stated that it seems to him that they are
penalizing the homeowner for the sins of his contractor in charging this
fee. He agrees they should be charged in some instances where the home-
iowner was a party to it. But where it was legitimately contracted to a
contractor, it seems like they're putting the penalty on the wrong per-
son. Mrs. Durante agreed and added that the. City is not going to get
rich from those five fees that they're charging.
The City Attorney suggested that it might be advisable for
Council to take this particular issue under adviSement for the time
being and not vote on it. There are going to be many more cases coming
before Council both with and without permits; there are numerous ones in
the Woodlake subdivision.
Mayor Weekes stated that it seems to him that in this in-
stance, as opposed to the last instance, they are setting a precedent
that they may have to live with. He concurs with the City Attorney's
suggestion and would prefer to defer this decision.
Mr. Bird asked how they are going to stop it. The City
Attorney replied that the problem is a two-fold one; part of it is
because permits have been issued that don't meet City codes and part of
it is because individuals have constructed porches that have been in
violation of Code requirements and also because certain contractors have
constructed porches in violation of the Code.
Mr. Bird added that he doesn't think that any member of
Council wants to penalize somebody for having come down and done what
was apparently right. If the City is in error, then it's the City's
responsibility. He is concerned about the people who are putting up
screen enclosures which do not meet the City's codes because they are
not pulling permits.
- 4 - 4/28/80
The City Attorney replied that the way they are going to
stop it is through the enforcement process. The City Attorney's office
is going to have to come back to Council once they get all these cases
together and ask the City Council what posture it wants the City Attor-
ney's office to take, which~could mean filing lawsuits and litigation
against each individual to physically remove the porch. If that's the
step that the City wants to take, then that's the step that they will
take. He doesn't think {hat people need to be told that they need
permits; many people know or should know that they need them.
Mr. Bird asked who the individual is who, through no fault
of his own, is on this list. The City Attorney replied that his name is
Clayton Olesen of 582 N.W. 47th Avenue, Delray Beach.
Mr. Bird.withdrew his previous motion and Mr. Young withdrew
his second.
Mr. Bird moved that Mr. Olesen be reimbursed the amount of
his fee for filing to the Board of Adjustment because he was an innocent
party in all respects, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed
unanimously.
Before roll call, the City Attorney suggested that Council
defer these until they can get a better look at the spectrum of the ones
that the Board of Adjustment has granted to determine whether or not
Council thinks that those should be waived.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
Mrs. Durante stated that she would like to see Council not
take any action on the others until the City Attorney can get back to
them and let them know what the situation is on each one so they can
deal with them one by one.
6.h. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Council
authorize proceeding under the competitive negotiations act for obtain-
ing engineering services for a one-million gallon water storage tank,
pump station and approximately 8,800 feet of water line.
The City Attorney advised that instead of going forward with
the competitive negotiations process at this point, the City Council
should authorize the Administration to provide Russell & Axon a seven
day written notice of intended partial termination of their contract in
regard to this particular item.
Mr. Bird moved to authorize the Administration to provide
Russell & Axon with a seven day written notice as outlined by the City
Attorney, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.i. The City Manager reported that inasmuch as Russell & Axon
did about one-third of the required engineering in conjunction with the
proposed 24-inch water main on S.W. 10th Street, it is recommended that
Russell & Axon be authorized to complete the engineering.
Mrs. Durante moved that Russell & Axon be authorized to
complete the engineering in conjunction with the proposed 24-inch water
main on S.W. 10th Street, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed
unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: In
response to Mr. Bird, the City Manager stated that it is estimated to be
about $350,000 for the project cost and the engineering cost would
probably be about 10%.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.3. The City Manager reported that the following quotations have
been received to sell the City 111 commercial garbage containers for the
Public Works Department. These containers are necessary for operation
in the franchise area for which the City will be responsible beginning
July 1, 1980.
- 5 - 4/28/80

ment Corp.

It is recommended that the award be made to the low bidder, AMCO, in the
amount of $30,134.75. Due to the heavy repair expense on existing
containers and purchase of containers to date, there is a balance of ap-
proximately $22,000 in the current budget for the Garbage Department. _
It is recommended that $8,000 be transferred from the General Fund Con-
tingency Account.
Mr. Bird moved to accept the low bid from AMCO in the amount
of $30,134.75 for trash containers to be paid $22,000 in the current
budget for the Garbage Department and $8,000 to be transferred from the
General Fund Contingency Account, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion
passed unanimously.
Before roll call, Mayor Weekes asked how much is left in the
General Fund Contingency Account. The City Manager replied $59,500.00
and that includes the $8,000.00 in this transaction.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.'
7.a. The City Manager reported that a communication has been re-
ceived from Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 4141 O'Neal Priest requesting
permission to solicit funds from May 1st through May 3, ~1980, approval'
of which is recommended by the Solicitations Committee.
Mr. Bird moved that Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 4141
O'Neal Priest be authorized to solicit funds from May 1 through 3, 1980,
seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
7.b. Mayor Weekes acknowledged the minutes of the Beautification
Committee meeting held on April 2, 1980.
Mr. Bird asked why they acknowledge the minutes of the
Beautification Committee and no other committee. Mayor Weekes replied
it's because the Beautification Committee is an ad hoc committee and
normally Council would not be expected to receive them. So they send
the minutes to the Mayor so that he may pick up items which they wish to
have City attention.
6.g. A couple in the audience noted that Council said that they
don't have to pay the fees for the screen enclosures and asked what they
should do now. Several other people in the audience had questions on
the same subject.
The City Attorney advised them to see Norma Smith in the
Building Department for the application forms to appear before the Board
of Adjustment. Mayor Weekes stated that the Board of Adjustment has
sole authority over this; it's out of the Council's jurisdiction. The
City Attorney added that there is a notice that has to be provided to
all property owners within 300 feet and it's up to Council as to whether
or not the Administration should send out the notices but the notices do
have to be sent.
The City Attorney added that it is the intent of Council to
have the Administration facilitate to the greatest extent possible the
filing of the applications, the notification requirements and the other
things that need to be done in order to present those applications to
the Board of Adjustment with regard to those properties wherein permits
were issued erroneously. ~
- 6 - 4/28/80
Mayor Weekes asked if they all have to be notified for every
case or could there be one notice for all the people on the same issue.
The City Attorney replied that if all of them were set at the same
hearing and the notice listed each property for which a variance was
requested and the extent o~ the variance, then the one notice would be
sufficient. The most difficult part is providing the property owners
list, not sending out the notices. Mayor Weekes stated that because of
the fact that the City bears some of the burden in this fiasco, perhaps
the City should supply the names of the property owners within 300 feet
and do the mailing.
Mayor Weekes stated that he is ~offering that the City, at
its own expense, take care of getting the list of names together, take
care of the responsibility of seeing that the notices are properly
mailed, they have already waived the filing fee and that's about all
they can do. They're taking all the burden they can possibly take for
the mistake that the City made. The City Manager added that this ap-
plies only to the five applications under discussion tonight.
Mr. Bird moved that the City, at its own expense, take care
of getting the list of names together and seeing that the notices are
properly mailed for the five applications, seconded by Mr. Young. Said'
motion passed unanimously.
8.a. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 40-80 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. 40-80 is recom-
mended.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 40-80:
