A Special Meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 11:00 A.M., Friday,
November 7, 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, James H. Scheifley, and Willard
V. Young, present.
Mayor Weekes called the meeting to order and announced that
this meeting has been called for the purpose of canvassing the returns
and declaring the results of the November 4, 1980, Delray Beach Downtown
Development Authority Act Referendum Election.
The City Attorney reported that each Council member has
received copies of the certification of Jackie Winchester, Palm Beach
County Supervisor of Elections, and the certification of the City Clerk
with the certifications of a majority of the Inspectors and the
Clerk of the election for each precinct attached.
The City Clerk reported the results of the Referendum
Election held on Tuesday, November 4, 1980 as follows:
Precinct 175 Precinct 189
For Approval 19 4
Against Approval 3 18
The City Attorney reported on the absentee ballots. The
certification from Jackie Winchester's office indicates that even though
the computer printout indicated 2~-votes for approval and 12 against
approval, they found out yesterday that there were a number of absentee
ballots given out to people who were not eligible. As there is no way
that the valid absentee votes can be separated from the invalid absentee
votes, all of the absentee votes ~re invalid.
Mr. Bird moved to void the absentee ballots in regard to the
election of November 4, 1980, and to accept as the results of the elec-
tion that which is indicated on the certification of the City Clerk,
seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Bird moved to declare that the amendments to the Down-
town Development Authority Act did not pass, seconded by Mr. Young.
Said motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Weekes declared the meeting adjourned at 11:05 P.M.

MENT AUTHORITY ACT" in the election held on November 4, 1980:
Precinct 175 Precinct 189
For Approval 19 4

The count of absentee ballots shown on the final computer

However, in checking the records, it was found that only 6 eligible
voters in Precinct 175 an~ 5 eligible voters in Precinct 189 had
requested absentee ballot~Y It is apparent that the special Absente
ballot for the Delray Beach Downtown Development Authority Act was
sent to some voters in Precinct 175 and 189 who were not eligible
to vote on the question. ._As I have indicated above there were only
ll eligible voters who requested absentee ballots and there is no
way that the valid absentee votes can be separated from the in-
valid absentee votes, thus rendering the entire absentee votes in-
valid.
