08-27-79 AUGUST 27, 1979
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,
August 27, 1979, 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.
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. Bird moved for approval of the minutes of the regular
meeting of August 13, 1979, and the special meetings of August 9, 1979
and August 17, 1979, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
4.a. Mr. Bird stated that several residents have questioned him
about the project they started some weeks ago with regard to getting
house numbers properly placed.
The City Manager stated that on future questions of that
nature, those people can be referred to the Fire Department or to the
Council. He will get a report on it as to procedure.
5. Mr. Charles Kimball, 950 Bolender Drive, Tropic Isle,
presented a petition to City Council for increased water pressure at
Tropic Isle; the petition had been signed by 50 residents of Tropic
Isle.
Mayor Weekes stated that within the last two weeks, the City
was granted an increase in its permitted water capacity of three million
gallons a day. He will. ask the Administration to study increasing the
pressure in all areas of the City and particularly in Tropic Isle. The
three million gallons a day that they have been granted should greatly
alleviate the problem.
The City Manager informed Mr. Kimball that he will call him
as soon as he has further information on this.
6.a. There were no items presented that were not on the agenda.
6.b. The City Manager reported that consideration and Council
action with regard to the 1979-80 budget was contemplated at the time of
the making of the budget calendar for the new year. The proposed budget
as drafted calls for a slight exceeding of the certified millage rate by
the City. A tentative decision has been made by Council at workshop not
to exceed the certified millage rate which makes unnecessary any action
on the budget tonight if Council still wishes to go that route.
It was Council's consensus not to exceed the certified
millage rate. No action was taken on the budget at this time.
6.c. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the August
20th' workshop meeting, Council is to consider the appointment of an
alternate member of the Community Appearance Board to a term ending
August 25, 1980.
Mrs. Durante moved for the appointment of Mr. Don MacLaren
to the Community Appearance Board, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion
passed unanimously.
Mr. Bird stated that they have told Mr. Currie that they
would relieve him as soon as they could find a suitably qualified
architect.
Mayor Weekes requested that if anyone knows the name of an
architect willing to serve on that board as an alternate to please
inform him or the Administration.
6.d. The City Manager reported that it was decided informally at
the August 20th workshop meeting to appoint Sam Ogren and William
Collins as regular members of the Contractors Board of Examiners to
three-year terms ending August 27, 1982. Both gentlemen have consented
to serve on the board if appointed.
Mr. Scheifley moved that Sam Ogren and William Collins be
appointed as regular members of the Contractors Board of Examiners to
three-year terms ending August 27, 1982, seconded by Mr. Young. Said
motion passed unanimously.
6.e. The City Manager reported that at a meeting held August
21st, the Planning & Zoning Board discussed nominees for a vacancy on
the Planning & Zoning Board as a result of Phyllis Plume's term expiring
on September 28, 1979. After discussion, a motion passed unanimously,
recommending to Council that Phyllis Plume be reappointed for a three-
year term ending September 28, 1982.
Mrs. Durante moved for the reappointment of Mrs. Phyllis
Plume to the Planning & Zoning Board for a three-year term ending
September 28, 1982, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Said motion passed
unanimously.
Before roll call, Mayor Weekes stated that Council has
expre~ssed a desire to place new persons on City boards who are able and
willing to offer their services to the City and he thinks that is a
fitting and proper thing to do. However, there is no need to remove
from the boards those people who have performed outstanding work for the
City and who are willing to continue to perform such service for the
City. Mrs. Plume has worked very diligently and intelligently for the
City and he has a great deal of respect for her and for her capability.
For the public's information, there will be, from time to time, the
placing of new members on the City boards; in some instances it may
create hard feelings, but it is something that is going to take place.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.f. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the workshop
meeting on August 20th, Council is to consider the appointment of an
alternate ~member of the Civil Service Board to the unexpired term of
Mike Brody', ending July 1, 1983.
Mr. Bird moved that Mort Rowe be nominated as an alternate
member to the Civil Service Board, seconded by Mr. Young. Said motion
passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mayor
Weekes stated that Mr. Rowe called him about two weeks ago and advised
that he would be willing to serve. The members of Council have seen Mr.
Rowe; he has spoken before the Council on a number of occasions. His
impression of Mr. Rowe is that he is a public spirited citizen and would
make a good member of that board.
Mrs. Durante suggested getting a short resume on persons
being considered for boards when Council has not previously discussed it
at a workshop meeting.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.g. The City Manager reported that pursuant to discussion at the
August 20th workshop meeting, Council is to consider the appointment of
a regular member of the Board of Adjustment to the unexpired term of
Preston Wright, ending March 15, 1980.
Mrs. Durante moved for the appointment of Mr. Jake Pullum to
the Board of Adjustment to the unexpired term of Mr. Preston Wright
ending March 15, 1980, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed unani-
mously.
- 2 - 8/27/79
Before roll call, Mr. Scheifley asked Mrs. Durante if she
feels reasonably sure that Mr. Pullum will attend the meetings on a
regular basis since the Board of Adjustment always seems to have an
attendance problem. Mrs. Durante replied that she talked with Mr.
Pullum about the attendance problem and he assured her that he would be
able to attend the meetings.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.h. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the workshop
meeting on August 20th, Council is to consider the appointment of Ms.
Rosetta Rolle to the Beautification Committee. Ms. Rolle would be
willing to serve if appointed. The Chairman of the Beautification
Committee informed him that the Beautification Committee would be
delighted to have Ms. Rolle join their group.
Mrs. Durante moved for the appointment of Rosetta Rolle to
the Beautification Committee, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed
unanimously.
6.i. The City Manager reported that pursuant to informal workshop
decision on August 20th, Council is to give consideration to the install-
ation of parking meters on the beach. He directed a memorandum to
Engineering taking into account the two or three various features of the
plan that was discussed at workshop; 1) to have meters on the first
block of Atlantic Avenue only, coming west off A1A, at a rate of 25¢ an
hour rather than the lower rate that was shown on the original study
plan; 2) in Sandoway Park and Anchor Park to not plan on installing
meters at this time on at least one-half of the lot in each case; to
reserve those spaces to experiment with selling annual stickers for
parking purposes; 3) east of the Fire Station on toward Ocean Drive,
there are several spaces marked off and he instructed Engineering to not
proceed with the installation of meters on these particular spaces at
this time, the reason being that they need to know what's going to
happen to that fire station site before they make a determination with
regard to the installation of meters. He also asked Engineering to give
consideration to the suggestion made by Council that $25 a year be
established as the annual fee for sticker parking and he will get back
to Council for any further discussion that might be needed with regard
to this subject. It is recommended that Council authorize the Admini-
stration to move ahead with the parking meter plan.
Mayor Weekes, for the benefit of the public, gave some
reasons why the City is considering this; 1) it has cost the City almost
$300,000.00 a year to maintain the beach and its support systems; 2)
over 70% of the people that use the beach are not taxpayers or residents
of the City of Delray Beach; 3) they are not in a position to offer any
preferential treatment to the citizens of the City for the reason that
when the beach was restored, it was restored with a combination of
local, County, State and Federal funds and a part of the condition of
getting these funds was that any member of the public would have the
same use of that beach as Delray Beach residents.
Mr. Alvin Dohert¥, 300 N.W. 22nd Street, stated that his
business is located at 1008 East Atlantic Avenue. He is representing a
number of business and property owners in the commercial area east of
the Intracoastal on Atlantic Avenue. They are concerned that this
proposal to put meters on the beach is moving' very quickly without a
great deal of input from any other citizen group. He doesn't intend to
become a policeman, chasing people out of public lots because they want
to avoid meters at the beach. All that he's asking is to have a study
group appointed comprised of the business people, Chamber of Commerce,
some of the homeowners and those people who are going to be directly
affected if someone wishes not to park and pay a quarter. They might
explore some remedy, should the City go to parking meters, so that these
commercial lots that are not policed can be controlled.
- 3 - 8/27/79
Mr. Harvey Brown, 2020 N.W. 3rd Avenue, added that the
unsightliness of parking meters on the beach would offset the unsightly
appearance that it has right now. The nuisance to the business people
is beyond question. This whole parking situation is going to surge from
the beach clear to the waterway. He is concerned about the additional
cost to the City of the patrolling to try to stop th'e illegal parking,
not to mention the cost of maintaining and enforcing the meters. He
thinks that the necessity of hiring additional employees to administer
the parking lot program is unwise in light of the present insurance,'
social security and pension requirements that the City would have to
meet. The cost of maintaining the beach is one that should be borne in
a general tax situation. The tennis courts, recreation centers, senior
citizens' center and the parks in the City also do not generate enough
income to maintain their keep. If they all feel that the beach is the
most important asset, then they should put their priorities where they
belong. He would like to see the plan stopped at this time and see
additional input as Mr. Doherty recommended.
Mr. Martin Thieme, 260 N.E. 14th Street, stated that he is
an old-timer here in Delray. The beach was given to the citizens of
Delray free prior to the time he came to Delray in 1911. He doesn't see
ho%; the City can put meters in and take the right away from the citizens
to park over there.
Mr. Richard Corriston, Country Manors, stated that he thinks
the members of Council should search their souls and take a real good
look at this. The business people and the taxpayers are against them.
Those three parking areas that the taxpayers own should rightfully be
the parking areas for the taxpayers. The beachfront people are the ones
that are creating this problem and it's not needed. There's no need for
discrimination and that's exactly what they're doing. There's better
answers to this than satisfying the Beach Property Owners' Association.
Mr. Bill Ward, Chamber of Commerce, 8 East Atlantic Avenue,
stated that he concurs with Mr. Doherty and Mr. Brown. If it's possible,
they should delay this action until they can get some further input from
the business groups in town.
Mr. Mario Guarduci, 225 N.Eo 5th Street, stated that they
just moved into this town because he liked everything about it. One of
the things they liked was that there were no parking meters on the beach
which all the beaches back in New Jersey did have. He knows that the
City needs money and he knows they're trying to find ways in which to
get it. He suggests that they take a little time to study it. If they
need any help, he would be more than happy to be of service of any kind.
Mrs. Durante stated that the comments from the public seem
to stem around an opportunity for more input from the public and
especially from the business community. She thinks that the business
community is going to be affected very much by this decision and she
would like to allow them to have the opportunity to have some more
input.
Mr. Scheifley stated that these gentlemen from the business
community have made some very good points. They have a case and he can
see their viewpoint. However, some things have been said tonight which
disturb him. For instance, a statement was made that the taxpayers
oppose it. If the taxpayers realized that they were having $300,000.00
of their property taxes used to pay for the lifeguards and to service
70% of the people who use the beach %.;ho do not live in the City, he
thinks more of them would be in favor of beach parking. People don't
know all of the facts. If they should postpone this, he thinks that all
of the facts should be brought out and the people who are interested in
this subject should know all the angles of it. This is the only public
beach in Palm Beach County that is free, so there is a tendency for
people from Broward and Dade County and all over to gravitate to Delray
Beach. The people who live up at the beach do have a case, but it also
works to their detriment. One gentleman %~ho lives over there is con-
cerned because he has a house there and he feels that if they have this
metered parking on the beach, it will tend to encourage those people to
park in the residential areas. It's not an easy question, but it's got
to be analyzed in terms of what is best for the majority of the people
and the taxpayers.
- 4 - 8/27/79
Mr. Bird concurred with Mr. S~heifley's remarks and sug-
gested that Council defer a decision on this item for a stated period of
time, 2 weeks or 4 weeks, and that during that time either a study group
or an informal committee be put together to accept input from all sources
and that alternative plans be considered.
Mr. Young stated that Mr. Scheifley's estimate of the people
using the beach is not something that was picked out of the air. Most
of the people using that beach, up to 65% to 70% of them, do not pay ~ne
dime of ad valorem taxes into the City of Delray Beach.
Mrs. Durante suggested that they have a mixture of citizens
and business people get together and study this, realizing that the
intention is to try and hold the line on taxes and to see if they can
come up with an alternative way to bring in the same dollar amount.
Mayor Weekes concurred with Mrs. Durante and Mr. Bird that
the business community has raised some valid questions about the issue.
Another issue that hasn't been raised is the plight of the people who
live on the side streets adjacent to the public beach who will not have
parking meters up and down their streets. People are going to be flock-
ing to park down those side streets. The matter of policing the side
streets is going to be an intolerable one. He agrees with Council that
they defer this matter and permit the citizens groups, the business
community and the Chamber of Commerce to get together. The next ques-
tion is when will they have this brought back for discussion.
Mr. Doherty stated that Mr. Bird mentioned the alternative
of 2 weeks or 4 weeks; he suggests that they make it 4 weeks because
there is a holiday coming and many people are finishing up their vaca-
tions at this time.
Mr. Bird stated that the 4 weeks is going to put them hard
up against their decision in order to finalize the budget.
The City Manager stated that at the workshop meeting, Council
indicated that it was not in favor of going beyond the certified millage
which would make Council action on the budget tonight unnecessary and
they've already gone over that item. The delay of the parking meter
question will put in question the $42,000.00 budget balancing money that
they tentatively put in the budget during budget workshop. Either the
$42,000.00 has to stay in or it has to come from another source or they
have to make other revamping of the budget before it is finally adopued
and that's scheduled for final adoption on September 24th. Even if they
did exceed the certified millage rate, they could not recoup the entire
$42,000.00. They figure that $37,000.00 would be the maximum that they
would be able to recoup taking into consideration the 5% limitation in
tax revenue excluding new construction imposed by the last session of
the Legis'lature.
Mr. Scheifley suggested that if the committee that is
appointed decides to come in and make a recommendation against the
parking meters that they also have a corollary suggestion as to what
should be taken out of the budget to compensate for the difference.
Mr. Bird moved that the subject of beach parking meters be
deferred and brought back before this Council at a workshop meeting on
the 17th of September and again at a formal Council meeting on the 24th
of September, and in the interim, that a committee be formed including
representatives of the various condominium associations, housing associ-
ations and business groups and that they report to Council at the infor-
mal workshop on the 17th of September, and the Council take formal
action on the 24th of September, recommendations to be brought forth by
this committee to include alternative funding sources or priorities if
it is deemed that parking meters are inappropriate, seconded by Mr.
Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr.
Young asked the City Manager if he had any record of who the presidents
of the various homeowners associations are. The City Manager replied
that he doesn't know if they have an up to date list but they have
considerable information with that regard.
- 5 - 8/27/79
Mr. Brown stated that he hopes that each member of the
Council will try to maintain an open mind and not feel that the parking
meters are the only answer to the problem.
Mrs. Durante asked if Council waits until September 24th to
adopt whatever recommendation is made, is that too late for the budget
adoption. Mayor Weekes replied that it %~ill have to be plugged in.
Mr. Bird asked if Mr. Brown, Mr. Doherty or Mr. Ward would
take responsibility for the formation of this committee from the
business side. Mr. ~ard replied that he thinks it would be excellent if
they did it under the Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Scheifley stated that it would be wrong to have anyone
on this committee who isn't a resident of Delray Beach.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.j. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the workshop
meeting on August 20th, Council is to consider authorizing execution of
the Catherine Strong Center lease agreement for the period from October
1, 1979 to September 30, 1980.
Mr. Young moved that Council authorize execution of the
Catherine Strong Center lease agreement, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said
motion passed unanimously.
6.k. The City Manager reported that as a result of enforcing
Ordinance No. 69-78 "Seawalls", the following property owners were
notified concerning erosion problems relative to seawalls. These prop-
erty owners failed to respond within the 90-day period of notification:
Dorothy & Nicholas D'Addario
1821 S.W. 56th Avenue
Plantation, Florida
Lot 2, Block 5 Repair or replace seawall
Seagate Extension Subdivision
906 Seasage Drive
Muriel & Howard McLain
139 Bunn Road
Hil 1. sdale, Michigan
Lot 313 - Section 3 Repair or replace seawall
Gardenia Drive
Tropic Isle Subdivision
Proposals were solicited from four engineering firms for engineering
services for the seawall construction or repair. Arthur V. Strock &
Associates, Inc. was the only firm which responded. It is recommended
that Arthur V. Strock & Associates, Inc., be retained as consulting
engineer to design the erosion control structures. The estimated cost
for the seawall improvements is approximately $10,000 per lot. All of
the engineering fees, estimated to be 10% of the construction cost,
would be chargeable to the property owners.
The City Attorney reported that this item and the next one
(6.1.) pertain to the City's seawall ordinance. The City Attorney's
office recommends that Council defer, for the time being, the retaining
of an engineering firm and that instead, since the ordinance at this
point is untested and since the expenditure for each lot is significant,
$10,000 per lot, they would prefer to institute an action in Circuit
Court where the issue of the validity of the ordinance can be raised and
also seek an injunction in connecton with that. He recommends that
Council not take action on this item other than authorizing the City
Attorney's office to proceed with such an action in Circuit Court.
Mr. Young moved that the City Attorney's office be author-
ized to proceed %;ith such an action in Circuit Court, declaratory judg-
ment and injunctive relief, seconded by Mr. Bird. Said motion passed
unanimously.
- 6 - 8/27/79
6.1. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the August
20th workshop meeting, Council is to give consideration to a decision on
the Thomas J. Woolley, Jr. nuisance abatement hearing.
The City Attorney reported that in reference to this item,
Council should direct the City Attorney's office to prepare a resolution
consistent with whatever decision Council would like to have rendered in
regard to this matter and after the decision is rendered, at that time,
authorize the City Attorney's office to likewise proceed with this
matter in Circuit Court.
In response to a question by Mr. Scheifley, the City
Attorney stated that a Code Enforcement Board would not have the author-
ity to render a decision on a constitutional question and secondly it
wouldn't bind a Court if it did render such a decision. The City Manager
stated that the board will handle smaller matters than this.
Mr. Scheifley moved that the City Attorney's office be
instructed to pursue this particular case to support the recommendation
of the Administration and the City Engineer, seconded by Mr. Young.
Said motion passed unanimously.
6.m. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the August
20th workshop meeting, Council is to give consideration to approving a
license agreement for the Delray Beach Country Club. It is recommended
that Council give its formal approval tonight. This will call for a bid
opening at 11:00 a.m. on October 1, 1979.
The City Manager reported further that he has been concerned
to hear from a few persons that it was their understanding that it was
all over with and that there was no need to bid. He wants to assure
everybody, especially the potential bidders, that no one is locked in on
this; it is wide open.
Mr. Scheifley moved that the license agreement as proposed
and illustrated by attachment 6.m. to the agenda be approved by Council
and that it include the procedures which are attached, being understood
that sealed bids will be accepted until 11:00 a.m., October 1, 1979, and
the bids will be opened and publicly read aloud at that time and they
will be submitted to Council at a later date for action, seconded by
Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call, Mr. Scheifley asked the City Manager how
much later will the bids be submitted to Council for action. The City
Manager replied that it hasn't been determined yet. He thinks that they
shouldn't decide now because the bids may come in in such a way that
they won't need much time for evaluation or they could come in such a
way that more time is needed for evaluation.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.n. The City Manager reported that as discussed at the budget
workshop meeting on August 21st, Council is to consider directing curb-
side pickup of garbage, effective October 1, 1979.
Mayor Weekes gave several reasons why this item is under
consideration. The general revenue budget of the City is subsidizing
garbage and trash collection by almost the same amount as the beach,
almost $300,000 annually; in other words the charge that they're making
for residential collection is not sufficient to provide the service.
The Council has felt for some time that this service should gradually be
made self-sustaining and in order to approach that they have two alterna-
tives; 1) to go to curbside pickup of garbage or 2) to raise the fee one
dollar a month. The City charges $4.95 a month for a residential garbage
and trash pickup. The question at issue is does the City wish to go to
curbside and leave the fee at $4.95 or does the City wish to continue
the rear-yard pickup and go to $5.95.
Mr. Bill Bathhurst, 1423 North Swinton Avenue, stated that
he is in favor of going to the $5.95 for cost and aesthetic reasons. On
the cost basis, he would suspect that trash up and down the street
during the day would raise a requirement for additional dog patrol and
also police being called out; these would be additional costs to the
City.
- 7 - 8/27/79
Mr. Harvey Brown, 2020 N.W. 3rd Avenue, stated that he has
lived in Delray Beach since 1947 and has had a business here since 1955.
He, too, is concerned about the aesthetics of this thing; he thinks that
the health and the aesthetics are the number one consideration. There
would be the possibility of vandalism and ransacking, with garbage cans
sitting out on the curb. It's unattractive enough in places the way it
is now. He thinks it would be an unsightly thing that residents would be
willing to pay not to have to look at. An older person on a fixed
income might not be willing to pay the extra dollar per month, howe~er,
this is the same person who would be required by physical necessity to
purchase a cart to wheel that garbage to the front of their lot.
Probably once a year they would have to replace that cart and he thinks
that should be a consideration when people are deciding whether they
want to pay the extra dollar or not. They all are striving to improve
the quality of the appearance of the streets and curbside pickup is
certainly, in his opinion, a step backwards.
Mrs. Phyllis Plume, 409 Lake Drive, stated that Mr. Brown
has made many points that she concurs with. As a past member of the
Beautification Committee, she inquired as to whether that committee has
considered this issue at all because they used to pride themselves on
the fact that they did pick up and it kept the town considerably cleaner.
As a resident of the City, she would like to see this operation pay for
itself and she would be willing to pay a dollar a month more.
Mrs. Alice Finst, 707 Place Tavant, stated that they in
Chatelaine are having County sanitation pick up their garbage and she
would like the City to check and see if it would only be a dollar more
for people who are under County sanitation. They are now paying $3.00 a
month.
Mayor Weekes stated that, in any event, the present City
charge is $4.95 per month for residential garbage and trash pickup; two
garbage pickups a week and one trash pickup so they're not relating this
to County sanitation's charges whatsoever.
Mrs. Finst stated that at one time the City was going to
look into separate pickup for newspapers and check into what kind of a
contract could be worked out. She was wondering if that could be used
to add revenue to the City and, perhaps, reduce the cost of the garbage
pickup.
Mayor Weekes stated that it was looked into about a year ago
and, at that time, it was deemed not to be economically profitable to do
it. However, times have changed and he has again asked the Admini-
stration to reassess that.
Mr. B.C. Butler, 1110 N.E. 2nd Avenue, stated that the $5.95
charge for the two services is the biggest bargain in town. If he
really wanted to make this town ugly, he would put the cans out on the
street. He hopes that Council will go ahead and add on the extra dollar
tonight and get it over with.
Mr. Sam Portnay, stated that this really does not work out
for High Point and High Point does have garbage cans but they're in the
ground; they use plastic bags. The way it works now is they have their
plastic bags and they're picked up twice a week. They bring them out to
the front at a certain time in the evening and by the time they're up
and about, those bags are gone. He recommends sticking to the old
system of putting the garbage out in the front.
Mr. Art Parsons, 625 Sunshine Drive, suggested that if this
does go through, the City should make sure that they set specific times
that the cans have to be out and back in.
In response to Mr. Scheifley, the City Manager stated that
it was estimated by the Administration that there would be a savings of
$90,000 a year by going to curbside. To not go to curbside but to
continue as they are now, it's their estimate that they would need to
raise the fee one dollar per month for the same $90,000 savings.
- 8 - 8/27/79
Mrs. Durante asked if it is possible to assess a portion of
the City for curbside pickup and another portion for backdoor pickup
with different rates. The City Manager replied that it is possible.
The City Attorney stated that to determine whether or not a
particular neighborhood has opted for a particular kind of service is
going to be somewhat difficult.
Mayor %~eekes stated that High Point is the easiest section
in the whole city to treat differently than some other section because
they're well-defined, they have a Board of Directors and their interior
streets are all private streets.
Mr. Bird moved that the City Administration be instructed to
increase fees for collection of garbage and trash in the City at the
rate of $5.95 per month per dwelling unit for up to six dwelling units
and a lower rate per unit for six dwelling units and above that have
dumpsters effective October 1, 1979, and that the City continue studying
between now and the time when the County sanitation contract expires
what alternatives can be made available to those citizens who will be
taking advantage of this service in the upcoming months, seconded by Mr.
Young. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call the following discussion was had: Mr.
Portnay stated that High Point is against the rear pickup for one main
purpose; their bedrooms are in the rear. They would prefer to take the
garbage themselves to the front.
Mr. Bird stated that they have not closed out the possi-
bility of curbside pickup in High Point and he suggested in his motion
that they would continue to study that.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
7.a. The City Manager reported that the City is in receipt of an
application from Arthur E. and Marion D. Parsons for City water service
to serve Arrow Trailer Park, 1800 North Federal Highway, located outside
the City. The applicant having executed the City's standard agreement
for the providing of water service outside the City conditioned upon the
applicant's property being annexed into the City when such is eligible
