10-02-80SpMtg OCTOBER 2, 1980 A Special Meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 7:00 P.M., Thursday, October 2, 1980, with Vice-Mayor Malcolm T. Bird presiding and City Manager J. Eldon Mariott, City Attorney Roger Saberson, and Council members Charlotte G. Durante, James H. Scheifley, and Willard V. Young, present. Mayor Weekes was on vacation. Vice-Mayor Bird called the meeting to order and announced that the meeting has been called for the purpose of (1) considering holding a public hearing on proposed 1980-81 tentative millage rate and on the 1980-81 tentative budget; (2) considering Resolution No. 85-80 to adopt a tentative millage rate; (3) considering second and final reading of Ordinance No. 52-80 adoption of tentative budget - 1980-81 (items (1),(2) and (3) will be discussed together); (4) considering Resolution No. 82-80 calling special election for November 4, 1980, concerning amendments to the Downtown Development Authority Act; and (5) consider- ing purchase of police vehicles. Those people in the audience wishing to speak were instructed to write their names on a piece of paper. 1, 2 & 3. 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 City Manager presented Resolution No. 85-80: A RESOLUTION TO TENTATIVELY LEVY A TAX ON ALL PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION, AND TO TENTATIVELY LEVY A TAX FOR THE PAY- MENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ON BONDED INDEBTEDNESS, AND TO ALLOCATE AND APPROPRIATE SAID COLLECTIONS THERE- UNDER. (Copy of Resolution No. 85-80 is on file in the official Resolution' Book ) The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 52-80: AN ORDINANCE MA~ING TENTATIVE APPROPRIATIONS OF SUMS OF MONEY FOR ALL NECESSARY EXPENDITURES OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDAf FOR THE PERIOD FROM THE lST DAY OF OCTOBER, 1980, TO THE 30TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 1981; TO PRESCRIBE THE TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PROVISIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE ITEMS OF APPROPRIATIONS AND THEIR PAYMENT;' AND TO REPEAL ALL RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES WHOLLY IN CONFLICT WITH THIS ORDINANCE, AND ALL RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES INCONSISTENT WITH THIS ORDINANCE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH INCONSISTENCY. (Copy of Ordinance No. 52-80 is on file in the official Ordinance Book) The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance. This ordinance was passed on First Reading at the September 23rd meeting. The City Attorney advised that, as required by the TRIM Bill, Council first discuss the percentage increase in the millage over the rollback rate necessary to fund the budget and the specific purposes for which the advalorem taxes are being increased before hearing the comments from the public. The City Manager reported on the increase in the operating millage rate over the rollback rate. The proposed rate is now 7.8768 mills; the rollback rate is 6.459 mills, which leaves an increase of 1.4178 mills or 21.95% over the rollback rate as established by law. The City Manager outlined the reasons for the increase; inflation, growth of the City, additional personnel, the increase in the cost of gasoline, electricity, utilities and commodities needed by the City to provide services. Vice-Mayor Bird pointed out that some properties have been reevaluated this year by the County Tax Appraiser and the City is not involved in this, Mr. Alexander Williger, 1845 N.W. 13th Street, Pines of Delray North, stated they came tonight because they feel that the abili- ty to live on a fixed income is being threatened. He quoted an article from the Sun Sentinel which discussed the tax increase and he spoke in opposition of the proposed increase in City taxes. Ms. Lucy Merz, Country Manors Condominium, stated that she has always been a willing taxpayer, but this tax jump is too much to bear; she is a widow, unemployed and living on a fixed income. If this proposal goes through, the tax on her home will be doubled. Social Security is more but it doesn't cover what this proposal calls for. Mr. Philip McKnight, 1199 S. Federal Highway, Harbourside Condominium, complimented the City for conducting this meeting in a manner which will allow the taxpayers to express their opinions and for its willingness to enlighten the taxpayers before taking final action. He spoke in opposition of the proposed County and City tax increase and stated that the increase in assessments should increase the amount of income for the City; with this additional income, he doesn't see why it's necessary to increase taxes in the City. Vice-Mayor Bird noted that ½ mill of the taxes which home- owners are faced with is an increase in the upcoming budget year at the County level (education) for which the people, overwhelmingly, voted in favor of. The City Manager differentiated the Delray Beach tax struc- ture and proposed millage from the County and stated that the City's proposed increase is not that great. The total proposed millage in- crease being considered by this Council is less than 1 mill; it's .9856 mills total proposed millage increase for the City of Delray Beach; on a percentage basis that figures 12.3%. Delray Beach is not responsible for setting the assessments on a piece of property. Mr. David Nathanson, Pines of Delray North, inquired about the figures which the City Manager gave at the beginning of the meeting. The City Manager replied that at the beginning of the meeting, he reported on the difference between the proposed increase by this Council and the rollback from the County Tax Appraiser's office and those figures were correct. The figures he just gave are the proposed actual increase which is less than 1 mill. Upon questions by the audienc, e and members of Council, Mr. Weber, Finance Director, explained the "rollback rate". The total operating tax revenue (not debt tax revenue) that the City received last year was $3,725,000; it is that figure divided by the current year adjusted taxable value of $576,737,779. The current year adjusted taxable value is the total of this year's current effective taxable value less current new construction, additions and annexations less current year deletions. The rollback rate of 6.459 mills relates to operating tax millage, tax revenue only. Vice-MaYor Bird pointed out that there was no millage in- crease in the City of Delray Beach last year. With regard to the in- crease which Council permitted in its budget for the upcoming year, it was 12.3%. 12% - 13% was, approximately, the inflation rate. Mrs. Durante added that the 12.3% is really a two-year period increase be- cause they had no increase last year. Mr. Nathanson stated that he has looked at the budget and he noticed that the proposed expenditures by the City this year amount to $21,881,500, but he inquired as to the anticipated expenditures for this past fiscal year. Mr. Weber replied that the total for individual departments does appear, but you have to look at the summary sheet for each individual department. For the general fund which governs property taxes, you have to look on page 12. A gentleman from the audience stated that he feels that the increase the City is proposing is fair and reasonable. - 2 - 10/02/80 Mr. Mortimer Yarmy, Pines of Delray, inquired as to whether the reassessed properties will result in a reduction of the millage rate because of the higher assessment which will bring in more dollars. The City Attorney stated that there is a provision in the TRIM Bill that after the final budget is adopted, prior to the extension of the rolls, each taxing authority is allowed a 3-day period in which to adjust its millage rate; it must be adjusted so that the taxes that would be computed under the new assessment roll equal the taxes compar- able to the old assessment roll. Mr. Joseph Clark, asked by what authority does the City of Delray Beach assess tangible assets or real property outside of the Delray corporate limits. Council members replied that the City does not assess; the County does. Upon question, the City Attorney suggested that Mr. Clark go to the Property Appraiser's office and discuss it with him. Mr. Clark praised the Council for the manner in which they are conducting this meeting. Mr. David Rosenthal, High Point Section 7, noted that the proposed property tax form he received does not give any explanation of how~ the figures were arrived at. He questioned the validity of these figures. Mr. Weber looked at Mr. Rosenthal's form and explained how the City figures were arrived at; he added that he has no responsiblity over the County figures which appear on the form. The City Manager advised Mr. Rosenthal to go to the County Tax Appraiser's office for that information. Mr. Scheifley added that, roughly, $28 per thousand of the assessed valuation is the maximum it can be. Mr. James Eichacker, 3667 Arelia Drive North, Shadywoods, noted that he received an assessment of $52,700 on an apartment that he paid $48,000 for. Dr. A. Merlin Wuebbenhorst, 230 N.E. 8th Street (business address), questioned the percentages given and inquired as to what the City is going to receive. Council members replied that the City re- ceives nothing from the County's advalorem tax collections. Vice-Mayor Bird noted that there was an entry for library on the form which the Appraiser's office mailed out. Mr. Weber explained that the form has two errors: (1) the City residents do not contribute to the County library tax at all and (2) the figure in the third column of the form does not include the debt levy taxes. The City Manager added that the County Tax Appraiser's office informed them that the library tax would not appear on the actual tax bill. Mr..Harold Weber, 2360 S.W. 22nd Avenue, Sabal Pines Condo- minium, inquired as to the 39% figure that was mentioned earlier in the meeting and asked whether the second column on the form includes the debt service. Mr. Thomas Weber replied that the first two columns include the debt service. Mr. Harold Weber stated that he feels they have very little to contest in the budget; he has studied it and found that the percentage increases are modest in most cases. Upon further question, Mr. Thomas Weber replied that the debt service under utilities is ar- rived at from the payment of water and sewer bills, not from property taxes. Mr. Harold Weber spoke in opposition of the tax increase and certain details of the' budget; he suggested that the City cut back on public safety and utilities. Vice-Mayor Bird stated that when they make that decision that the City has grown to a level which necessitates another fire station, they are going to face an increase. That kind of an increase in the public safety does come in lumps. Mr. J.R. Owre, 800 Greensward Court, Hamlet, stated that the assessment on his townhouse went up 67%; the proposed tax went up 113% and in the third column he has a figure that is 52% above last year. He spoke further in opposition of the-increases. - 3 - 10/02/80 Mr. Scheifley advised Mr. Owre that the increase in his taxes is the result of an increase in the assessed valuation; not in the tax rates. Mrs. Durante stated that after you've owned a home for a couple of years, you'll'find you have a tremendous increase, over 50%, because, at that time, the County is finally getting around to apprais- ing it and putting it on the tax rolls at its market value rather than what the builder pulled the permit for. Mr. Owre complimented the City for the manner in which this meeting is being conducted. Mr. Reed Clark, Sabal Pines Condominium, stated that he has served as an elected official in another area and he discussed his feelings as to the responsibilities of elected officials. There is a level of people in Delray Beach who have a consistent level of income and the City Council has a responsibility not to disturb that. Mr. Philip Basile, 960 Fern Drive, Tropic Isle, inquired as to whom they can speak to in regard to their complaints and how they can go about telling the State their problem. He goes along with the 12% increase that Delray Beach is giving them, but all totalled they are getting a 39% increase. He can afford to pay the increase but not everyone is as lucky as he is. When these other people are chased out of Delray Beach, who is going to pay the taxes? Mr. Young replied that the only place they can go complain to is Mr. Reid's office in West Palm Beach; there's an office in the South County Courthouse on Congress Avenue in Delray Beach where people can go to get information, but to get relief on it they have to go to West Palm Beach before the 15th of October. Mrs. Charles Johnson discussed the tax base growth stating that she thinks it brings thousands and thousands of dollars in tax revenue. She quoted a newspaper article which talked about the rise in property taxes in the County. A gentleman from the audience stated that he has been setting aside $100 a month for 1980 taxes; his tax bill for 1980 was $1,111.00. If the proposed budget change is made, he will have to set aside $150 a month for his 1981 taxes. He is concerned with the dollars and cents involved and not the percentages, mills, etc. Mr. George Schaefer, Harbourside, stated that his assessed value went up 37%; he's not concerned about that; however, if he is figuring right, his taxes to Delray Beach will go up 61% and the total percentage for the whole bill will go up 77%. He feels that thes~ figures are much too high. Mr. Edward Willanzheimer, Spanish Trail, stated that he has been to Mr. Reid's office to find out why they have a lot of houses in Delray Beach which are not assessed and not on the tax roll. Some houses on the Intracoastal weren't assessed for three years. He asked the City Manager to look into it. Mr. Nathan Rosenbaum stated that if they can't get Palm Beach County to listen to the people that live in this area, there's one way of making them listen; by making an amendment so as not to raise taxes over a certain amount. The City Attorney stated that prior to the conclusion of the public hearing, he advises Council to go ahead and have any discussion they would like to have and then go into the millage rate resolution and the ordinance. Mrs. Durante stated that she appreciates the interest as shown by tonight's attendants in the participation of the audience in the budget hearing process. This is what government is about; listening to the people and finding out what they think and ways in which they can make government more responsive to the people. However; a lot of what's been brought up tonight is beyond the control of the City. There are a lot of inequities in the tax assessment structure. She described the increase in taxes on her own property and she discussed the tax growth base and the resulting increase in expenses in Delray Beach. - 4 - 10/02/80 Mr. Scheifley stated that the tax situation in the State of Florida is in a state of chaos. He concurred with Mrs. Durante's state- ments and noted that his residence is assessed at $4,000 more than he paid for it. The State law says that all property in Florida will be appraised at its fair market value which means about 85% of what you could sell it for today. He has talked to dozens of people and no one's house is assessed as it should be according to law. He sympathizes with everyone who is burdened by a tax increase, but, considering taxes in other places, they're about 47th on the list of 50 States in overall tax. Overall, Florida is a very low tax State. He complimented Mr. Weber, Finance Director, for his helpful comments tonight. Mr. Young referred to the meeting held in West Palm Beach the other night and noted that he attended that meeting. He did get an opportunity to speak at that meeting. He felt that the Commissioners were not overly receptive to the ideas brought up there. He brought up three objections at that meeting; (1) paying for the jail in two years; (2) the amount of roads which were denied by voting down a referendum last year; and (3) the Commissioners made no effort to take into con- sideration the report that had been given to them by the Council on Dual Taxation; that was tabled and there will be no action on it at least until next year; he is doubtful it will even be acted on next year. He feels that those are the three areas that are giving people the most trouble. This is something they have to put up with, at least until they get over some of these unusual expenditures that the County has put upon them. The City Council is doing everything it possibly can to cut down the budget. Mr. Basile referred to Mrs. Durante's statements and added that a lot of the properties were probably undertaxed in the first place and now they're starting to come up. His objection is not about reevaluating property taxes or anything pertaining to public safety; he objects to the 38% increase for school taxes being imposed on the elderly people. Vice-Mayor Bird reported that he has a communication from a City resident. It's from Mrs. Donn Oakes, 257 N.E. 20th Street, Delray Beach, Florida, and it reads as follows: "Dear Sirs: I would like to acknowledge receiving the Notice of Proposed Taxes and would like this letter read into the minutes at Chambers of City Hall on Oct. 2, 1980 at 7:00 pm. My husband was a lieutenant on the Delray Fire Dept. and emplgyed by the city for nine years before his resignation was accepted in August of 1980. At contract time in the Fall of 1979, the city of Delray saw fit to increase my husbands' salary by 5% and told us we were lucky to get that much. Since I was in charge of budgeting, I certainly did not feel LUCKY, but I took great pride that my husband was considered a Professional. I had to cut back in my budgeting but we made it through. As I calculate the Proposed tax increase, I see that the city is asking me for a 12.5% increase over' last years taxes. Assuming that the city is managed by Professionals, I feel that you should also be able to cut back in spending and try to at least keep your Proposed Tax Increase within reason. Please try to remember that you have more people than ever paying taxes in Delray and that in itself should give you more money to work with. I vote NO to your Proposed city tax Increase. Sincerely, Mrs. Donn Oakes" Mr. Scheifley stated that this letter explains exactly the point that he was trying to make with regard to people asking for more service and wanting lower taxes. This is a case where an individual wanted a salary increase for her husband and lower taxes. Mr. Sol Kravitz, 1955 NW 13th Street, Pines of Delray North, complimented the way in which this meeting was conducted. He questioned whether City Council has considered the possibility of taking the County to Court to satisfy the objections that Mr. Young made to the Palm Beach County Commission the other night. - 5 - 10/02/80 Vice-Mayor Bird replied that currently there is litigation pending, joined by several municipalities, challenging the allocation of tax costs. The Fair Tax Proposal was an attempt to arbitrate that out- side the courts; it apparently is going to be arbitrated within the courts. Vice-Mayor Bird stated that he doesn't want people to be surprised, after voting for the Homestead exemption next Tuesday, if they don't get it. There are two items within that amendment which everyone should keep in mind: (1) it only applies to counties with 100% property appraisal and (2) the property appraisers have proposed a 65% appraisal; hidden in the legalities toward the bottom of that proposal it says that the $25,000 homestead exemption shall not apply if any action is taken by Constitutional method to reduce from 100% to any lesser figure. A woman from the audience stated that she has talked to the Tax Assessor's Office three times in the last two weeks and was told by three different employees that the property in Palm Beach County is now assessed at 100% the fair market value. Vice-Mayor Bird stated that they are not the final arbiters of whether that is true or not; that determination is going to be made in Tallahassee. The Homestead exemp- tion is only going to be applied to those properties which are, in fact, appraised at the 100%. The same woman asked how she can get a copy of the budget and further asked if their presence at this meeting tonight will change anything or have any effect on Council's vote on the budget. The City Manager stated that residents may view the budget in the City Clerk's or City Manager's office or at the library. Vice-Mayor Bird stated that much of the input which he heard tonight are the same concerns he has heard expressed by the five members of Council. He compared the cost of running a household to the cost of running a City. He added that he thinks that tonight's meeting has changed some attitudes. He feels that a lot of people have a better understanding now of the depth at which Council deliberates in the construction of the budget. It is not a document which was simply handed to them; it is a document that they have been working on for about three months. Things can be changed by public input; most of what is changed in the construction of the budget is done in the workshop sessions where the line by line discussion occurs. That's where the most and the best input is made to the budget. October 9th will be the final budget hearing. Mrs. Durante stated that she hopes the people will leave here tonight thinking that Delray really has not been as hard on i~s citizens as some of the other taxing di-stricts, because they are talking about a 12.3% increase, regardless of what the total increase is. Last year there was no increase in Delray and the year before that there was a one mill decrease. Vice-Mayor Bird stated that if Mrs. Oakes had completed her letter to include this year's increase in salary for the municipal employees, they would find that Lieutenant Oakes would have received over that same two-year period a 15% increase in his salary while the City would have had a 12.3% increase in its budget. Mrs. Durante advised that they have a budget wOrkshop coming up October 20th; at that time they'll be talking about a lot of things that will apply to next year's budget. Upon question from the audience, Vice-Mayor Bird stated, with regard to the lifeguards who man the beach and the Parks & Recrea- tion crew who cut the grass and trim the bushes, that, they, the citi- zens of Delray Beach pay for that; however, the greatest expenditures of the last fifteen years for the maintenance of that beach have been in the erosion control area; in that area they have been assisted by County, State and Federal funds. Upon further question, Vice-Mayor Bird stated that there are many revenues outside of the property tax; if you reduce any of them, then the only place to get the additional revenue is to increase the property taxes. Mr. Frederick Blaser, Chairman of the Financial Advisory Board, stated that members of the public did not attend the meetings when they were discussing the budget. A gentleman from the audience stated that they are not notified of these special meetings. - 6 - 10/02/80 21,1 Vice-Mayor Bird declared a recess, the time being 9:05 P.M. The meeting reconvened at 9:10 P.M. Mr. Scheifley stated that these people are concerned about the increase in taxes; however, no specific suggestions have been made. The public hearing was closed. Mrs. Durante moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 85-80, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Durante- Yes; Mr. Scheifley- Yes; Mr. Young- Yes; Vice-Mayor Bird - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. Mrs. Durante moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 52-80 on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr. Young. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Durante -Yes; Mr. Scheifley- Yes; Mr. Young - Yes; Vice-Mayor Bird - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. (4) The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 82-80 is a resolution calling for an election to be held with regard to the Down- town Development Authority. The City Manager presented Resolution No. 82-80: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, ORDERING AND PROVIDING FOR A REFERENDUM ELECTION TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 4, 1980, CONCERNING WHETHER AMENDMENTS SHOULD BE MADE TO THE DELRAY BEACH DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY ACT (CHAPTER 71-604 LAWS OF FLORIDA, AS AMENDED BY CHAPTER 72-624 LAWS OF FLORIDA). (Copy of Resolution No. 82-80 is on file in the official Resolution Book) Mr. Young moved for adoption of Resolution No. 82-80 calling a special election for November 4, 1980, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mr. Young - Yes; Vice-Mayor Bird - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote. Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, representing the Beach Property Owners Association, inquired if the DDA should be extended to the busi- ness area east of the Intracoastal, will the businesses there be' allowed, under this law, to expand their businesses without providing additional parking space. Vice-Mayor Bird replied that one of the purposes of the DDA is to improve the image and the productivity of the commercial activities within the central core of the City. It is, by provision of the planning ordinance and by recognition of an unusual characteristic of the central business district, that contribution in lieu of providing parking is permitted. That provision does not exist under the LC zoning which is in place east of the Waterway. Speaking for himself, it would not be his intent to see such a provision extended. At this point the roll was called to the motion. (5) The City Manager reported that the City has received bids for the purchase of two police vehicles, the first bid by Earl Wallace Ford in the amount of $12,443.08, the second bid by Sherwood Pontiac in the amount of $13,766.00, the third and last bid by Adams Chevrolet in the amount of $14,161.60. It is recommended that the purchase award be made to Earl Wallace Ford, the low bidder, in the amount of $12,443.08. They have provided in federal revenue sharing funds $10,000.00 for this purpose. There are a number of other police vehicles, the bids for which will be coming in at a later date and they are hopeful that they can make up the shortage from those bids; if not they will have to make up the shortage from elsewhere. There is no trade on these two vehi- cles; they are for police aides which is a new operation. - 7- 10/02/80 Chief Kilgore stated that these are Fairmont four-door sedans with a 329 cubic inch 6 cylinder engine and standard equipment. He further explained the features of the vehicles. They will have blue lights, sirens and other emergency equipment for use by police aides. Mrs. Durante moved to authorize the purchase of two vehicles for the Police Department, the contract to be awarded to the low bidder, Earl Wallace Ford in the amount of $12,443.08 with funds as outlined by the City Manager, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mr. Young - No; Vice-Mayor Bird - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 1 vote. Before roll call, Mr. Young questioned the necessity of such large vehicles for police aides. Chief Kilgore replied the Fairmont is considerably smaller than police units and he doesn't believe that a car- any smaller than this would do the job. He realizes that eventually they will be faced with smaller vehicles but, at this time, he feels that this particular type of car will meet their needs. Mr. Bird state~ that it seems to him, if they are eventually going to be faced with smaller vehicles, maybe the police aides are the ones who should be driving the smaller vehicles. Chief Kilgore cited a mistake that was made by the California State Highway Patrol in the sudden downsizing of their vehicles and explained the reasons why this should be done gradu- ally. Vice-Mayor Bird stated that he understands that there are vehicles, with the equipment that the current police cruisers have, which are not currently being utilized by the Police Department and asked how many there are. Chief Kilgore advised that he didn't know the exact number. Vice-Mayor Bird stated that before he will be prepared to vote on another augmentation to the police car fleet of the City, he would like to know what that figure is, who has the vehicles, what their current mileage is and what would be required to put them back in the Police Department. At this point the roll was called to the motion. (3) Mr. Scheifley moved to bring up Ordinance No. 52-80 for further consideration, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously. The City Attorney reported that the purpose of this is to clarify that this ordinance goes into effect tonight. He requested that Council make a motion to adopt Ordinanca No. 52-80 with an effective date of October 2, 1980, retroactive to October 1, 1980. Mr. Scheifley moved that Ordinance No. 52-80 go into effect October 2, 1980 and it is retroactive to October 1, 1980, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously. viceiMayor Bird declared the meeting adjourned at 9:35 P.M.
