11-10-80 NOVEMBER 10, 1980
A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 7:00 P.M., Monday,
November 10, 1980, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes, presiding and City Mana-
ger 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.
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend Frank Reiff,
First Baptist Church.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States
of America was given.
3. Mrs. Durante moved for the approval of the minutes of the
regular meeting of October 28, 1980 and the special meetings of October
20, 1980 and October 31, 1980, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion
passed unanimously.
4.a.1. Mr. Bird referred to the holiday tomorrow and stated that
people don't take enough time to thank those who are in the armed ser-
vices today and those who have served in the past. At Mr. Bird's re-
quest, there was a moment of silent prayer for these people. He wished
the Marine Corps a happy birthday and noted that it is their 205th
birthday.
4.a.2. Mr. Bird proposed that this City adopt a change to its
Charter to have departmental head nominations received from the Admini-
stration and acted upon affirmatively by Council before such indivi-
duals be elevated to that position. He suggested that they bring it to
workshop next week. The City ATtorney has assured him that there is
adequate time for them to have it on a ballot in March, if Council so
desires.
It was the consensus of Council to have this item on the
next workshop agenda.
4.b.1. Mr. Young reported that there is a vacancy on the Financial
Advisory Board and he recommended Dick Krob to fill that vacancy.
Mr. Young moved that Dick Krob be appointed to the Finan-
cial Advisory Board to serve as an alternate member, seconded by Mr.
Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.
4.c.1. Mayor Weekes asked about the consent agenda and the reso-
lution pertaining to it. The City Attorney replied that Council has
the authority to establish, by motion, a consent agenda for this meet-
ing. The resolution was prepared as an item not on the agenda and to
apply to future regular meetings of the Council; he suggested that
first they establish a consent agenda for this meeting listing the
items that Council wants in that consent agenda.
Mr. Bird moved that a consent agenda be established this
evening and items 6.d., 7.b., 8.a., 8.b., 8.c., 8.d., 8.e., 8.f., 9.a.,
9.b., 9.c. and 9.d. be considered as a consent agenda by Council and be
entered as the item to immediately follow item 5; that a motion, at
that time, to adopt the consent agenda will be a motion to take the
action indicated in the agenda preface, and that the motion to adopt
the consent agenda will adopt all of the resolutions included, seconded
by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
5.a. Mr. John Donovan, Bass Creek, discussed the construction of
pools. From time to time people have to empty pools. Due to the high
water level in this area, it is necessary to install pumps. Many muni-
cipalities in the area require that such pumps be piped to the nearest
sewer. He feels that if there isn't such an ordinance in this City
already, then there should be one, and if there is one, then it should
be enforced.
The City Attorney agreed to look into it and come back to
Council.
5.b. Ms. Rita Shaikun, Rainberry Woods, stated that she is very
disturbed because she feels that public input does not have any impact
on decisions. She is concerned about pet crossing and the inadequate
signs in the bgach area. A lot of discussion was had on permits in-
stead of parking meters; she is in favor of permits. -~hey had a very
large increase in City taxes and the City is paying a ten percent
salary increase plus merit increases. The taxpayers are getting hit
from every level.
Mrs. Durante responded that A1A is not a City road and DOT
is the agency to get in touch with in regard to that road.
CONSENT AGENDA
The City Manager reported on the following items which are
to be considered by Council as a consent agenda:
6.d. The South Central Regional Wastewater Treatement and Dis-
posal Board at its meeting on October 27th, voted to adopt SCRWTD

drews Avenue be extended for 18 months to June 11, 1982, subject to the
developer cleaning up the site. This was discussed at the workshop
meeting on November 4th.
Mr. Bird moved to adopt the consent agenda, seconded by Mr.
Young. 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.
At this time, Council proceeded to consider the remaining
regular agenda items.
6.a.1. The City Manager reported that the Planning & Zoning Board
at a meeting today, recommended by unanimous vote that the site and
development plan approval be extended for a period of 18 months, from
November 14, 1980, for The Point.
- 4 - 11/10/80
Mrs. Durante moved to sustain the recommendation of the
Planning & Zoning Board, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said mot~.on passed
unanimously.
6.a.2. The City Manager reported that some time ago, the State
received an inquiry as to whether or not Delray Beach would be amenable
to a moving picture company shooting a film in Delray Beach. At that
time, it was brought before City Council who were opposed to it, be-
cause of the fear of bringing in undesirables. He recently received a
request from a film company wanting to use the N.E. 8th Street bridge
for a period of one night for filming purposes; it would be necessary
to close traffic on the 8th Street bridge during the time that they
would be shooting, an 8 to 12 hour period.
It was th~ consensus of Council to stand by their prior
action and refuse this request.
Mro Bird moved to sustain their prior action, seconded by
Mr. Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
6.a.3. The City Manager reported that Resolution No. 110-80 estab-
lishing a procedure for a consent agenda is before Council for consi-
deration.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 110-80:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY
BEACH, FLORIDA, ESTABLISHING A PROCEDURE FOR A CONSENT
AGENDA AT REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE CITY COUNCIL.
(Copy of Resolution No. 110-80 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Resolution No. 110-80,
seconded by Mr. Young. 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. Mayor Weekes presented a City Service Award to Mr. Mort
Rowe for service on the Civil Service Board from August, 1979, to
November, 1980, and added that they appreciate the time and effort that
Mr. Rowe has expended in the service of the City.
6.c. The City Manager reported that it was agreed at workshop on
October 21st that Council would consider establishing new refuse col-
lection rates. He referred to his memorandum of October 17th which
sets forth four columns of figures. The differential in cost between
curbside and rear door pickup is about $1.00, with the curbside being
the less expensive. They did not send letters to a number of develop-
ments in the City, such as High Point, Country Manors and developments
that use the mechanically emptied container. They sent out a total of
30 letters and they received responses from 5 groups.
Mayor Weekes stated that he has talked with Mrs. Matthews
and she has not had a chance to get input from the people in the beach
area. She asked that Council defer this decision for one week. The
City Manager added that one week would not make much difference.
Mr. Bird moved that they continue the City rate as proposed
by Mr. Weber in the budget and, in regard to front or back door pickup,
that they continue picking up as they are now until such time as they
have input from contractors, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed
unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr. Jim
Carter, President of Tropic Isle Civic Association, was in favor of the
motion made by Mr. Bird. He compared the garbage collection rates in
Delray with those of surrounding cities.
- 5 - 11/10/80
Mrs. Elizabeth Matthews, 1024 White Drive, spoke on behalf
of the Beach Property OwnErs Association. At the request of the City,
they have taken a poll of 600 single family homes. She asked if the
information in th§ letter given them by the City is correct.
..~
The City Manager replied that if the information that Mrs.
Matthews sent out is based on what the City gave them, then that is
exactly the thing she should be polling them on. He added that the
main purpose of the letter was to test the people on the question of
curbside or rear door pickup. There is a differential of about $1.00,
as stated in the letter.
Upon question by Mrs. Matthews, Mayor Weekes replied that
they are not going to determine, at this time, whether or not curbside
or rear yard is going to be used; that decision will be made at a later
date. Tonight's decision is an interim increase to accommodate those
funds that are in the budget. He stated further that the figure that
is on the floor now is $7.30 for rear yard pickup, not $8.63. The City
Manager added that at the time Council last discussed this, the plan
was that the figure could be anything up to the maximum as stated in
the letter. Now, Council is considering going with the $7.30 maximum
for the interim period.
Ms. Ann Kolevzon, Rainberry Bay, stated that she feels the
City should give special consideration to the developments; they don't
know anything about curb or back yard service because they only have
curb service and they don't have the same amount of garbage as multi-
family homes or larger homes. She feels that developments should not
be charged the same rate as the rest of the City.
Mrs. Alice Finst, on behalf of the Homeowners League of
Chatelaine, stated that they did not receive a letter from the City.
They have tried to acquire garde door pickup. She suggested a com-
promise; they will take their garbage out to the curb and have the City
put it back up by the garage door. This would keep the cans off the
street and it would assure that the garbage is picked up. She also
suggested that Council consider having garbage pickup covered by taxes.
Mr. Bird stated that it is their intention tonight to
establish a rate to be applied until such time as an investigation to
determine the least possible cost alternative and the method by which
that can be done is completed. Nobody has said that tonight's decision
is a final solution to the problem.
At this point, Mr. Bird called the question and the roll
was called to the motion.
Mrs. Durante stated that she is sure that in Roberts Rules
of Order, they had a good reason for allowing the question to be called
but sometimes the question is called when there are other ideas that
people would like to express.
6.e. The City Manager reported that the following proposals have
been received to sell the City 600 parking meters:
Bidder Quotation
POM Incorporated $62,314.30
Russellville, Arkansas
Duncan Industries $71,264.42
Elk Grove Village, Illinois
It is recommended that the award be made to Duncan Industries in the
amount of $71,264.42. Even though Dunc&n Industries is not the low
bidder, it is considered that purchase from them would be more cost
effective and in the best interest of the City for the reasons stated
in an Engineering Department memo to the City Manager dated October 27,
1980.
- 6 - 11/10/80
,,,Z 7j"
Mr. Bird stated that he reviewed the traffic engineering
study and would concur with the recommendation that the Duncan meter
represents easier maintenance and more lqngevity; however, he thinks
that the dedicated beachgoer will be left'with a considerable expense
if there is no provision for permits on some portion of the beach area.
He favors having parking permits as well as parking meters.
Mr. Fred Blaser, Financial Advisory Board Chairman, stated
that he has made an extensive study of this. The type of meter recom-
mended now is a multi-insert meter. The City of Hollywood, Florida,
recommends a single slot meter, which is less expensive and easier to
maintain. Both types of meter can be pilfered. He recommended that
they get the single slot meter and that they have a representative here
to show the public what they're getting.
Upon question by Mr. Bird, Edward Ewing, Duncan Industries,
sta~ed that they do have a single slot meter available but only if they
charge a quarter per hour and use quarters only. Hollywood did make a
change to single slot meters; however, the Duncan multi-slot meter is
entirely different from what Hollywood had; the three slots are right
in the front and are easily identifiable.
Mrs. Durante stated that the single slot meter would mean
that people would always need quarters in order to park. She thinks
that they would be doing the people a disservice if they have the
single slot meters; with the multi-slot meters people can use a com-
bination of coins.
Mr. Blaser stated that they should listen to those people
who have used the meters and not just listen to the salesmen selling
the product.
Mrs. Matthews stated_ that the Chamber of Commerce did a
report on this. She recalls that two or three cities recommended a
meter which was very low in maintenance and the most successful in an
oceanfront setting. Mr. Young stated that the meter Mrs. Matthews is
referring to is the POM meter.
The City Manager stated that there are two questions before
Council: (1) whether to go with all meters or whether to have a mix-
ture of meters and parking permits; and (2) how many and what type of
meters. In regard to the type of meter, for many months the City
Engineering Department has been investigating this and they have talked
with all of the cities in the general area that have experience with
meters. He has confidence in the Engineering Department and he sup-
ports their findings, which he is what he is proposing to Council.
Mayor Weekes inquired as to what cities in Florida use the
Duncan meter. Mr. Ewing gave a list of cities including Miami, Miami
Beach, Bay Harbor Island, Surfside, a few in Broward County, Tampa,
Tallahassee, Gainesville, St. Augustine, Orlando and others; they have
meters in about 70% of the State.
Mrs. Durante stated that, personally, she is opposed to
having meters and permits for parking at the beach; however, it is
something that they have to do, so they might as well get it over with.
Mr. Bird suggested that Council members study the traffic
engineering division's study of 10/23/80, if they haven't already done
so, and he complimented the Engineering Department for the thoroughness
of it.
Mr. Bird moved that meters be put in Atlantic Dunes Park
and along A1A only and that the remaining parking spaces, those in
Sandoway Park, Anchor Park and behind the beach fire station be re-
tained for permit parking only.
Mr. Bird withdrew his motion.
Mrs. Durante moved that Council adopt the Administration's
recommendation and install the number of parking meters as proposed
from Duncan Industries.
- 7 - 11/10/80
Mr. Young stated that he will second the motion if Mrs.
Durante will add the stipulation that ':hey will be single slot meters.
Doug Knight, City traffic engineer, advised that POM, Inc.,
offered a single slot meter which will take all three denominations;
nickels, dimes and quarters. Duncan offers only the triple slot which
has a separate slot for each denomination of coin. If they go to the
Duncan meter with a single slot, quarters only, it would be cheaper to
buy and easier to maintain; however, it does put an inconvenience on
the public and that is why they recommended the triple slot.
Mr. Blaser advised that pilfering figures in the areas that
he covered run about 2%; that kind of pilfering is mainly broken glass
from people who get mad. There is, basically, no loss in the coins by
breaking the box; the amount of loss is minimal on any meter.
Mrs. Durante rephrased the motion as follows:
Mrs. Durante moved to accept the recommendation of the
Administration in the letter of October 27th from the City Engineer to
the City Manager, seconded by Mr. Young. Upon roll call Council voted
as follows: Mr. Bird - No; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Young - No; Mayor
Weekes - Yes. Said motion failed with a tie vote of 2 to 2.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mayor
Weekes advised that Jack Pitts could not be here but he called and
asked that his opposition to meters be expressed tonight. Mr. Pitts'
reasons for opposing meters are: (1) the City had meters before and
lost money; (2) fines resulting from failure to put money in the meters
are generally not collectable; (3) the Administrative costs are going
to be higher than estimated; and (4) the meter maintenance is going to
be much higher than what is estimated. The City Manager added that he,
too, is against meters, but if ~_hey are going to have meters and they
are going to charge for parking, then the program proposed by the
Administration is what he recommends.
Mr. Bird inquired as to how they came up with a 600 figure.
The City Manager replied the recommendation of 600 meters does not tie
down any specific spaces and the purchase of 600 meters would be safe.
In regard to meter locations, he will come up with a final plan for
Council to act on separately. The City Attorney added that this item
will be coming back to Council in the form of a resolution no matter
what action Council takes tonight. So between now and the time they
consider the resolution, the Administration could come back with more
specific information in regard to location. The City Manager suggested
that Council schedule a special meeting next Tuesday night to discuss
this item.
Mr. Bird advised that, from a traffic standpoint, it would
be desirable to have a shorter time span on the meters which are at the
intersection of A1A and Atlantic Avenue. He asked that the Admini-
stration address this when they come back with a formal recommendation.
The City Manager stated that he thinks that this is needed on Atlantic
as well as A1A; Council members concurred. Mayor Weekes stated that at
least the first block of Atlantic Avenue should be metered and Mrs.
Durante added that this would protect the businesses there by making
sure that there is a turnover of parking spaces.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
It was the consensus of Council that this item go back to
workshop for further discussion.
7.a. Mayor Weekes acknowledged receipt of the minutes of the
Beautification Committee for their meeting of October 1, 1980.
8.~. The City Manager reported that the following bids have been
received to construct a lighting system for Miller Park:
- 8 - 11/10/80
Bidder Quotation
Premier Electrical International Corp. $240,833.00
Boca Raton

West Palm Beach
Union Electric Construction Corp. 233,433.00
West Palm Beach
(Alternate Bid) 198,360.00
It is recommended that the award be ma~e to the lowest bidder meeting
City requirements~ C.R. Dunn, Inc. of West Palm Beach, in the amount of
$199,897.00 by adoption of Resolution No. 109-80. There is an addi-
tional charge of $150.00 per foot based on the length of the poles that
will be required. Funding will come from the Capital Improvement
Construction Fund, 1980 Bond Issue.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 109-80:

PHASE II, LOCATED AT 1905 SOUTHWEST FOURTH AVENUE, CITY
OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA.
(Copy of Resolution~No. 109-80 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mrs. Durante moved for adoption of Resolution No. 109-80,
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.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Upon
question by Mr. Bird, the City Manager replied that this figure is
about $20,000 more than what was originally contemplated, but they feel
there is sufficient money remaining in the Bond Issue Fund. Last
Friday there was a meeting in regard to it; they have $275,000 free
money left in that bond issue. It's going to be very tight but they
feel sure that this is the best figure they can get for the construc-
tion of a lighting system.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
8.h. The City Manager reported that Ordinance No. 61-80, amend-
ing Chapter 30 "Zoning" of the Code of Ordinances relative to trade
shops is before Council for consideration on Second and FINAL Reading.
This ordinance was passed on First Reading at the October 28th meeting.

The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance.
Mrs. Durante moved for the passage of Ordinance No. 67-80
on First Reading. Motion died for lack of a second.
Upon question by Mrs. Matthews, Mayor Weekes replied that
this means that they are not going to increase the fee.
Mrs. Matthews apologized for bringing this up now but she
has tried many times to get the City's enforcement of deed restriction
on the beach, north of the area where the boats are stored. She is
asking for (1) better enforcement of this regulation and (2) respect
for the deed restriction that has been placed upon that beach, north of
Beach Drive.
Mayor Weekes asked the City Manager to look into it.
Mr. Bird stated that Council has said that they should
change fees so as to reflect the cost of providing the service and no
one has demonstrated to him that it costs $3,000 a year to let people
park their boats on the beach. He didn't mind paying the $50 to have
his boat stored on the beach but he objects to the fact that many boats
without permits have been parked on the beach, and, to his knowledge,
no boat has been impounded or fined by the City. He is not prepared to
increase this fee until such time as the Administration can demonstrate
some ability to enforce the regulations that now exist.

DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, BY CLARIFYING SAID SECTION AND BY

TAINING CITY OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE WHO HOLD A VALID AND
CURRENT OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE FROM THE COUNTY OR OTHER
INCORPORATED MUNICIPALITY, AND BY PROVIDING FOR A $2.00
REGISTRATION FEE FOR PERSONS OBTAINING A CITY OCCUPATIONAL
LICENSE WHO HOLD A VALID AND CURRENT PALM BEACH COUNTY
COUNTY-WIDE LICENSE; PROVIDING A SAVING CLAUSE; PROVIDING
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 68-80 on
First Reading, seconded by Mr. Young. 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.
Upon question by Mrs. Durante, the City Attorney explained
that the reason the $2.00 is in there is because it is the maximum
allowed by special act of the Legislature. The City Manager added that
he feels they should not be passing this ordinance at all because it's
going to reduce the revenue. Mrs. Durante asked the City Attorney if
they could reconsider and reject_this ordinance; he replied that they
can.
Mrs. Durante moved that Council reconsider Ordinance No.
68-80, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unanimously.
The City Attorney advised that the Building Department is
going to have to keep track of these people in some manner; that's one
way that the City controls the enforcement of the ordinance.
Upon question by Mrs. Durante, the City Attorney replied
that the City receives revenue back from the County for licenses.
There are two different types of County licenses; one type of license
is County-wide and is effective in both the incorporated and unincor-
porated areas. If a person has a County-wide license, that person does
not have to get a license from the City of Delray Beach; however, the
fee that the City would receive from these people for licenses would be
the same fee that the City is receiving now, except the City would get
an additional $2.00 when these people come in to register.
Mr. Leo Blair stated that people can get a County-wide
license which gives them the right to work anywhere in the County.
They have to pay a high fee to the County, which is then divided up
amongst all the municipalities. The City Manager noted that Delray
Beach gets about $60,000 a year back from the County for occupational
licenses. The City Attorney advised Council that passage of this
ordinance will not preclude them from getting money back from the
County for licenses.
Mr. Bird moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 68-80 on
First Reading, seconded by Mr. Young. 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.
Mrs. Durante inquired as to whether the Building Department
understands this. The City Manager replied that the Building Depart-
ment does understand the procedure; they have been commiserating over
this ordinance for the past month.
