08-28-78 AUGUST 28, 1978
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 28, 1978, with Mayor Leon M. Weekes presiding, and City Manager
J. Eldon Mariott, City Attorney Roger Saberson, and Council members
Robert D. Chapin, Charlotte G. Durante, and James H. Scheifley, present.
Mr. Sanson was absent.
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Reverend Jim Smith,
Grace Baptist Church.
2. The Pl'edge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of
~-~erica was given.
3. Mr. Chapin moved for the approval of the minutes of the regular
meeting of August 14, and the special meetings of August 7, August 8, and
August 16,1978,'seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
4.a.1. Mr. Chapin noted that in 1977, when he was seated on Council,
he presented an il-point agenda for 1978 that he felt Council should
address; all but about two points have been resolved (1) Code enforce-
ment between Planning and Zoning, Building and C.A.B., (2) consolidation
of the City Building Boardsinto one Board. Mayor Weekes suggested that
these items be scheduled for a workshop meeting.
4.a.2. Mr. Chapin advised that he has distributed a memo to Council
requesting that the Administration advise Council on the employee's
fringe benefits, per capita cost for 1973, 1975 and 1977, as adjusted
for inflation.
4.a.3. Mr. Chapin expressed interest on behalf of the City to purchase
the 15 or 16 acres of golf course property from Mrs. Harris fronting on
Homewood Boulevard for a tennis facility.
4.b.1. Mayor Weekes presented a proclamation for the League of Women
Voters commemorating August 26, 1978 as the 58th anniversary of women's
right to vote.
4.b.2. Mayor Weekes noted that at the budget workshop last week,
Council discussed the possibility of a raise in salary for the Mayor and
the Council members. The City Attorney is reviewing this and, by consent
of Council, has been authorized to prepare the necessary ordinance. This
ordinance will be prepared six months prior to the effective date of the
ordinance, which will be the seating of the next City Council.
4.b.3. Mayor Weekes reported that at the budget workshop, members of
Chatelaine Homeowners Association presented several items that they would
like to see in the budget, one of which is the acquisition of park land
in the vicinity of Chatelaine. Mr. Jim Nowlin, Jr., owner of Club
Chateau, has offered and is prepared to sell this property to the City
for approximately $165,000. The Mayor stated that he would like Council
to authorize the appraisal of this property.
Mr. Chapin moved that Council authorize the City Administration
to secure an appraisal for the property known as the Delray Racket Club,
with the understanding it did not create a co~m~itment on the City to buy,
seconded by Mrs. Durante. Said motion passed unanimously.
5. Gene Strickland, Assistant Manager for Leadership Cablevision,
stated that they have just completed the installation turn-on of the
satellite receive station to bring home box office to the City. They
have contracted Cary Sullivan to organize sales representatives to
contact residents and explain their additional services. Since they
have an occupational license and pay the City a percentage of their
subscriber revenue, they are requesting that Council waive the daily
license fee for each sales representative in the field and to expedite
their marketing program; they would also like to screen the marketing
applicants and provide them with their own identification instead of the
City's.
The City Attorney stated that this would require an ordinance
amendment. The way the City's ordinance is set up regarding solicitation
for orders for delivered services in the future would require them to
obtain a solicitor's license and pay the fee. For this kind of a
situation, if they are going to do it on a routine basis, it would be
rather expensive. Also, there is a question as to whether or not, when
this ordinance was originally adopted, it was the intent to have it
applied to businesses that are actually licensed in the City. He
suggested to Mr. Sullivan that, if he would like to, he could address
the question to Council and Council might desire to put it on a workshop
meeting.
Mayor Weekes stated that if Council authorizes the City
Attorney to prepare an ordinance, it would take at least 5 - 6 weeks
before it could become effective.
Mr. Scheifley stated that Council discussed a couple of months
ago peddlers who carry their own material. At that time, there was an
attempt to prevent it. Now, there is an activity which is to the publi~i~
interest, and there seems to be a conflict. He thinks there should be
an analysis done.
The City Attorney noted that the daily fee is $10 and Mayor
Weekes stated that it would come to maybe $300-$400 before they could
amend the ordinance.
The City Manager suggested that, if they are interested in
having the ordinance amended, they contact the Administration so the
matter can be investigated in conjunction with the City Attorney's office.
Mr. Chapin suggested putting this on a workshop so that they
can have the City Administration's advice.
In response to a question from Mrs. Durante, the City Attorney
stated that this would pertain to peddlers also.
Mrs. Durante stated that when they talked about peddlers, this
was not mentioned because, if this had been mentioned, $10 a day would
keep out any peddler.
The Mayor stated that Council is sympathetic and that they
will do the best they can to amend the ordinance, if that is deemed to
be the best way to go about it. However, there is no relief Council can
grant at this time.
5.b. Mr. William Burson, district manager for Southern Bell in this
area, stated that they filed tariffs with the Public Service Commission
today for a trial of measured local service in Delray Beach and those
tariffs were approved. They are one of the five exchanges in the state
of Florida that will be conducting this year's trial on measured service.
The trial is one more step in the ongoing study begun by the company and
the commission in 1974 to seek alternate ways of pricing local service.
The commission earlier approved a measured service in Jupiter. At that
time, he thought possibly, Delray Beach would be included but then it -
was not. Under the company proposal, Delray Beach customers would be
able to select one of three local calling options; unlimited local
service, which they have at the present time, fully measured service,
and low use measured resident service. The unlimited use option would
be identical in both price and calling scope to the current flat rate
offering in Delray Beach. For example, the retired residents who tell
him they use the telephone one or two times a month for emergency purposes.
Under this service, that person, instead of paying $10.25 for his
resident line, would be able to pay $6.65 and he would have a $2 calling
allowance during the month. Mr. Burson then handed out information
sheets to Council.
6.a.1. The City Manager reported that Council authorized a contract
with Carr Construction back in February of this year for the raising
and repaying of a portion of Beach Drive, primarily, to help a long-
standing drainage problem on that street. Not too long after that, the
City received notification from Carr that they would not be able to
- 2 - 8/28/78
properly execute the contract because of the loss of certain personnel
that happened to have the specialty training needed to do this
particular type of mechanical work. Therefore, they asked to be
relieved of the performance of the contract. The City, then, attempted
to secure bids. Two bids were received as follows:
Hardrives, Inc. $12,500.00
Delray Beach, FL
H.L. Westberry $46,300.00
Deerfield Beach, FL
Although, the Hardrives bid is more than the original contract,
after investigating it rather thoroughly, as far as the Administration
is concerned, and discussing it with the City Attorney, it is recommended
and the City Attorney concurs, that Resolution No. 72-78 be adopted
awarding the contract to Hardrives, Inc., in the amount of $12,500. One
factor that played a great part in the City's decision on this is that
the Carr Construction Company does a lot of work for the City and they
are very reliable and they have been very honest with the City. It is
to their credit that when they found themselves in the position that
they would not be able to properly execute the contract, they so notified
the City.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 72-78:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING NEGOTIATION
OF A CONTRACT TO RAISE BEACH DRIVE FROM ANDREWS
AVENUE TO A POINT SOME 325 FEET WESTWARD, IN
THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, TO ALLEVIATE
FLOODING CONDITIONS DURING HIGH TIDES; AND THIS
RESOLUTION SUPERSEDES RESOLUTION NO. 15-78
AWARDING THE CONTRACT TO CARR SOIL AND SOD
DRIVEWAYS, WHICH CONTRACTOR WAS UNABLE TO FUL-
FILL SAID CONTRACT DUE TO SUBSEQUENT LACK OF
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
(Copy of Resolution No. 72-78 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mr. Scheifley moved for the passage of Resolution No. 72-78,
seconded by Mrs. Durante. Upon roll call Council voted as follows:
Mr. Chapin - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mayor Weekes
- Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
6.a.2. The City Attorney stated that there are three resolutions up for
consideration. They are Nos. 73-78, 74-78, and 76-78. Resolutions No.
73-78 and 74-78 are the dual tax resolutions that Council discussed at
the workshop meeting last week. The services that are set forth in both
are the same as those that were set forth in the resolutions discussed
last Monday night with the additions, as indicated by the administration,
and the memos that were passed out during that meeting. He recommended
that Council adopt Resolution No. 73-78 and then proceed to the next two
resolutions.
The City Attorney presented Resolution No. 73-78:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, PETITIONING THE BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY FOR
FISCAL YEARS 1974-75, 1975-76, 1976-77, 1977-78,

CORPORATED AREAS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY AND

- 3 - 8/28/78
(Copy of Resolution No. 73-78 is on file in the official
Resolution Book)
Mr. Chapin moved that Council adopt Resolution No. 73-78 in
the interest of fair and equitable taxation between the residents of
those who happen to live in municipalities and those who live in the
unincorporated areas, seconded by Mr. Scheifley. Upon roll call
Council voted as follows: Mr. Chapin - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes;
Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a
4 to 0 vote.
6.a.3. The City Attorney stated that as to Resolution No. 74-78, the
only difference between this and No. 73-78 is that the fiscal year
applicable to this resolution is 1978-79 fiscal year and that it allows
an alternative rather than remitting the taxes to the City that the
County develop what in statutory language is called an appropriate -
mechanism, meaning a separate taxing unit for the unincorporated area
for these specific services.
The City Attorney presented Resolution No. 74-78:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, PETITIONING THE BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, FOR
FISCAL YEAR 1978-1979 AND SUBSEQUENT YEARS,
PURSUANT TO SECTION 125.01(6)(a), FLORIDA

Mr. Chapin moved that Council adopt Resolution No. 74-78,
seconded by Mrs. Durante. Upon roll call Council voted as follows:
Mr. Chapin - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mayor
Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
6.a.4. The City Attorney stated that Resolution No. 76-78 is
supporting the County's acquisition of 134 acres of land in the area
that was des.cribed in the resolution.

- 4 - 8/28/78
6.b. The City Manager stated that he is very happy to report that
the City's utilities department consisting of some 61 employees went
a staggering 370 days without a chargeable accident. He feels that that
speaks very well for the City's safety program and for all 61 employees
of the Public Utilities Department. Lou Martin heads the Utilities
Department and there are four award citations issued in the names of
the four divisions of the Utilities Department so that this award can
be displayed at the headquarters workplace for each of these divisions.
The Water Treatment Division is headed by Robert Ailstock; the Water
Distribution Division by Olan Peters; the Customer Service by Byron
Matteson; and the Sewage Collection System Division by Carl Howard.
Mr. Chapin moved that Council approve recognition for the
Public Utilities Department for the five people so cited and stated
that it is a great honor and privilege to make this motion, seconded
by Mr. Scheifley. Said motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Weekes stated that Lou Martin has spent untold hours in
trying to resolve the City's water problem. The City does have many,
many dedicated hardworking employees who do yeoman work for this City
and the Mayor personally thanked Lou Martin.
Robert AilStock, Olan Peters, Byron Matteson, and Carl Howard
came forward and accepted their awards.
6.c. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Council
authorize the execution of an agreement between the City and Sherwood
Park Civic Association to landscape a strip of dedicated City-owned
property east of and adjacent to Military Trail to create a buffer
area between Sherwood Park and a new development west of Military Trail.
There will be no City cost or obligation.
Mr. Scheifley moved to approve this agreement between the
Sherwood Park Civic Association and the City for the beautification of
that area, seconded by Mr. Chapin. Said motion passed unanimously.
Before roll call, Mr. Scheifley asked Jack Duncan, the
President of this organization to stand up. He congratulated the
organization for taking over this area and beautifying it at no expense
to the City. It shows a lot of pride in the City and the community.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.
6.d. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Council
give consideration to approving an amendment to the contract between
the City and the Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority for the
disposal of the City's solid waste. This amendment is made advisable
by the withdrawal of the City of Boca Raton from participation and use
of the refuse transfer plant.
The City Attorney stated that he spoke with the executive
director of the Solid Waste Authority, Tim Hunt, and also the attorney
today, concerning this proposed amendment. There are two thing pro-
posed in the amendment. First of all, an amendment to the contract
with the Solid Waste Authority and then an amendment with the lease with
the Solid Waste Authority. In discussion with the representative of
the Solid Waste Authority, apparently, the intent of the authority
was that we would not have a veto over any unit of government coming
in or not coming in, that the authority under which the solid waste
entity is organized would prohibit that kind of a veto. An amendment
to the lease is suggested to be worked along the lines that since we
can't have a veto power, as such, that we simply attach a financial
condition to someone becoming a member of this entity. Under the lease
agreement, what is being done is that the rental payment is reduced
from the current payment to $1 per year and the reason for that was
because of the increase in cost necessitated from the withdrawal of
Boca Raton. That was an increase of $11.20 a ton to $12.32 a ton.
The concept behind the amendment to the lease would provide that any
new governmental unit coming in would pay rent for the facilities
which would be based on the amount of volume of trash and so forth that
that particular entity generates. It is imperative that this be acted
on so that the equipment can be purchased and the finance secured to
purChase that equipment, otherwise the existing commitments that they
- 5 - 8/28/78
have will be lost. The City Attorney recommended that the contract
addendum be passed, as written, with the amendment suggested that the
lease agreement be passed in principle and authorize the City Admin-
istration and the City Attorney to negotiate these financial terms
and formalize the agreement along the lines indicated.
The City Manager stated that it is his understanding that
the City will handle Boca Raton's withdrawal from the pact in a
financial way by the lease agreement rather than the operations contract
in that the City will lose about $12,000 a year by way of lost fees from
Boca Raton but we will still be able to maintain our per ton cost at
less than the $12 maximum that is set up in the present operations
agreement.
The Mayor stated that the contract addendum was prompted by
the Solid Waste Authority in an effort to protect the City of Delray -
Beach. The Authority resented Boca Raton's pulling out of the arrange-
ment and in order that Delray might be protected, this contract
addendum was suggested and it was suggested solely for the purpose of
giving us input into whatever may transpire at some time down the road
should Boca or some other city wish to come back into it. Boca Raton's
pulling out of this does impact us on a per ton basis in a negative way
but at the end of 3 years this lease and this contract expires and
those capital improvements will have to be sold. They are being
advertised over a three year period. The money derived therefrom will
come back directly to the City of Delray Beach only. This will have
the effect of reducing the per ton charge at the end of the three years
but we can't get it on the front end. That is estimated to be an
average of 82¢ per ton. He thinks that the City can perform this service
within the $12 prescribed in the contract.
Mr. Chapin moved that this Council approve entering into a
lease between the City and the Palm Beach County Solid Waste Authority
subject to approval, as to form, technical amendments, as may be
suggested by the City Attorney together with a contract addendum as
recommended pursuant to the City Attorney by adding the word "city
or city franchisee", Section 1.
The City Attorney stated that on the motion on the lease
agreement what he had in mind was more than a mere technical change.
What is required is that the administration and the City Attorney's
office is going to have to sit down and actually write a provision in
the contract that will permit some sort of additional financial commit-
ment from the Solid Waste Authority in the event that some other unit
of government is brought into that entity.
Mr. Chapin added to his motion any changes and recommendations
from the City Attorney which will protect the best interest of the City
of Delray Beach, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Upon roll call Council
voted as follows: Mr. Chapin - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley
- Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
6.e. The City Manager stated that this item was put on the agenda
with the recommendation that a contract between the City and Mr. Roy -
M. Simon be approved tonight provided the City Attorney reviewed it by
meeting time tonight. The City Attorney informed him that such is not
the case and that being so, it is recommended that this item be skipped
over. Council agreed to skip item 6.e.
Mr. Chapin stated that the balance of Council in his absence
had the unfortunate task of having public sessions to interview the
architects not only for the Public Works Complex but also the expansion
of City Hall. He wished the members of Council to know that if he had
been here at that time, that he would have voted for Mr. Simon as first
~choice for the expansion of City Hall and Mr. Toth to be the architect
for the Public Works Complex.
6.f. The City Manager recommended that this item be skipped over.
His office was called today by one of the applicants requesting that
this item be passed over tonight by Council. Council agreed to this.
- 6 - 8~28/78
6.g. The City Manager reported that it is recommended that Council
authorize the execution of a permit between the City and the Department
of Transportation requesting permission to construct approximately 200
feet of 5-foot asphalt sidewalk and 6-inch by 18-inch deep concrete
curb along A1A in front of The Seagate, 500 South Ocean Boulevard.
The estimated cost is:
Seagate's portion - 80% $2,024.00
City's portion - 20% 506.00
Total $2,530.00
The sidewalk will provide a continuation of the existing City sidewalk
to the south, along A1A, and will serve as a separation for the beach
and prohibit parking in this area. The Seagate will landscape and
maintain the area which will provide a means of erosion control as
this is the only unprotected area along the ocean. The City will
maintain the public sidewalk.
Mr. Chapin stated that his law firm represents the Seagate
Hotel and in order to avoid any conflict of interest, he will step down
from any discussion on this matter.
Mr. Chapin left the Chambers at this time.
Mr. Scheifley moved that Council authorize the execution of a
permit between the City and the Department of Transportation for this
improvement on South A1A near the Seagate, seconded by Mrs. Durante.
Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mrs. Durante - Yes;
Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 3 to 0
vote.
Mr. Chapin returned to the Chambers at this time.
6.h. The City Manager reported that the City Administration and the
City Attorney's office both are of the opinion that this item should
not be acted on now. The City Attorney advises that it is not legally
necessary for the Council to act on it now, inasmuch as the City's
certified millage rate is not being exceeded. Public Hearing and final
adoption of the budget is scheduled for September 25th. Council agreed
to skip this item.
7.a. The City Manager reported that a communication has been received
r~ the Area Planning Board dated August 15, 1978 requesting A-95
Clearinghouse Review and comments relative to Florida Department of
Transportation improvements for 1-95 from Broward County Line to PGA
Boulevard in Palm Beach County. Approval is recommended.
Mr. Scheifley moved that the administration reply in an
affirmative manner regarding the improvements on 1-95 in Palm Beach
County, seconded by Mrs. Durante. Upon roll call Council voted as
follows: Mr. Chapin - Yes; Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes;
Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
8.a. The City Manager reported that Council, at the special meeting
on August 7th rejected the only bid submitted for the Salt Water
Intrusion Management Plan Wells in the amount of $15,792, as this
amount was considered to be exorbitant. The only bidder, A.E.C.O.A.,
Inc., did not respond to inquiries and requests to negotiate a lower
price. The Alsay-Pippin Corporation ham agreed to contract for the
installation for $8,450, a savings of $7,342. It is recoLm~ended that
the contract be awarded to Alsay-Pippin Corporation in the amount of
$8,450 by passage of Resolution No. 75-78 with funding to come from the
Water and Sewer Contingency Account.
The City Manager presented Resolution No. 75-78:
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, TO AWARD A CONTRACT FOR
THE SALT WATER INTRUSION MANAGEMENT PLAN,
INSTALLATION OF SALINITY.MONITORING WELL 1 AND
2 TO THE ALSAY-PIPPIN CORPORATION IN THE AMOUNT
OF $8,450.

(Copy of Ordinance No. 43-78 is on file in the official
Ordinance Book)
- 8 - 8/28/78
The City Manager read the caption of the ordinance.
Mayor Weekes stated that they allowed the public to be heard
at the First Reading of this ordinance. They had a public hearing which
was duly held and the public was heard on the Second Reading of this
ordinance. The Council before voting on it asked for additional inform-
ation. Therefore, he does not intend to have another public hearing on
this item tonight. Everything has been said that can be said by both
sides. The laws regarding public hearings have not only been adhered
to, they have been exceeded.
At 8:05 P.M. a five minute recess was taken. The meeting
reconvened at 8:10 P.M.
Mayor Weekes stated that this matter was referred back to the
Planning Department for a recommendation as to rezoning only a portion
of it; Lots 1 through 6 to industrial, leaving Lots 7 through 10 single
family.
Mr. Chapin moved that Council sustain the recommedation of the
Planning & Zoning Board and approve the rezoning as requested and pass
Ordinance No. 43-78 on Second and FINAL Reading, seconded by Mr.
Scheifley. Upon roll call Council voted as follows: Mr. Chapin - Yes;
Mrs. Durante - Yes; Mr. Scheifley - Yes; Mayor Weekes - Yes. Said
motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
Before roll call, Mr. Scheifley stated that this particular
zoning problem is one of the more difficult that has come before Council
in a long time. It is a real gray area. There are good arguments on
both sides for the rezoning and against the rezoning. He has received
many phone calls and material regarding this issue from many people
and it's a very difficult decision to make. In getting the facts on this
and finding the impact of what the district boundary ordinance would do,
if any commercial activity is expanded down there it will require a six
foot hedge all around the property or a six foot wall which would
provide sort of a buffer.
Mrs. Durante stated that she has studied this issue very
thoroughly and has been down to the area and looked around. She is
concerned about what is best overall for the City and for everybody
that is involved. If the owner of this building wanted to expand, he
could not expand to the front of the building, he could not expand to
the back, and he could not expand to the east. The only way he could
expand would be to the west. Then he would have to either put in the
wall or a hedge to provide further protection from the neighboring
residents and he could not expand any closer than 60 feet from the
nearest house. Right now, there are 3 lots existing between the nearest
house and the required setbacks for this property. This is a great
buffer and the kind of buffer she would like to see between a residential
area and this type of zoning.
At this point the roll was called to the motion.

ically by the Chief Building Official and he asked that the phrase

Building Official had time to go around and make all these inspections
personally.

dential uses in the area. Mrs. Stebbins stated that she had serious

11. Mrs. Durante asked to make one comment which is in line with the
~-:-:~0 workshop meeting that Council had today to try and get something
going that will work on a multitude of problems and the housing situation
in the community. She reemphasized the fact that in her community, there
are a lot of people who are very involved and very interested in seeing
this thing get off the ground. She pointed out the presence of some
people in the audience who are trying to organize their neighborhood
into a neighborhood association.
Jounice Hill, 309 S.W. 15th Terrace, stated that an article in
the August 24th edition of the Delray Beach News Journal was brought
to her attention regarding the Catherine Strong Community Center being
turned over to the Community Action Council; this came as a surprise to
members of her community. They were wondering on what grounds did the
Council base its contention that the Community Center's use for recrea-
tion was dwindling and whether or not they will still have use of this
building when the Community Action Council takes over.
Mrs. Durante stated that a use survey was taken by the Community
Action people. The building will be used in the daytime for all of
the social services. At night the building will be used by organizations
or for recreational purposes.
The City Manager stated that he would like to invite Mrs. Hill
to call him and make arrangements to sit down with him and let him
show her and have her read just what is planned and the reasons for it.
He further stated that by making this change, the building will be used
for many community services that do not now exist in this area and,
overall, it seems like it will be much more beneficial to the community
as a whole. Also, many of the recreational activities will gravitate
to the PompeY Park Building, which will soon be open, because of it
being a much better facility. The County will have entire control of
the use and the scheduling of the Catherine Strong Building and the City
will have the entire control of scheduling outside the premises.
Mr. Chapin moved, at 8:50 P.M., for the adjournment of the
meeting, seconded by Mrs. Durante. The motion passed unanimously.
