Mr. Randolph asked the City Manager to have the $600,000 Street
and Sidewalk Bond Issue rescheduled for the next workshop meeting. The
City Manager replied this item will be placed on the agenda for the next
workshop meeting or the workshop meeting following. Mr. Randolph stated
that the issue of a City Manager has not been resolved. Mr. Randolph also
stated that the question of what is termed as a reasonable time for
appointing a permanent City Manager Was asked at the Special Workshop
meeting on April 12, 1976. Mr. Randolph asked the City Attorney to define
what he meant as a "reasonable time." The City Attorney replied the
City Charter states that a permanent City Manager will be appointed with-
in a reasonable time after an acting City Manager is appointed. What is
reasonable depends upon the circumstances in which the municipality is
operating at a particular time. The City Attorney further added that a
specific number of days' limitation cannot be made.
Mr. Sanson moved that the item of appointment to the vacancy
of the council seat be placed under Item 4.a., seconded by Mr. Weekes.
The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Sanson moved that Resolution 20-76
be added to the agenda under Item 8.d.1, seconded by Mr. Randolph, said
motion passing unanimously. Mr. Sanson thanked the Building Department
and Mr. Reid and the City Manager's Office for the removal of billboards
and illegal signs located at the end of Linton Boulevard on Federal
Highway. Mr. Reid indicated he plans a campaign to remove illegal signs
throughout the City. Mr. Sanson stated it was brought to his attention
at the last Community Appearance Board meeting that three of the signs
they were considering had already been erected. The Phillips 66 station
on Federal Highway has erected a sign that has not come before the
Community Appearance Board. Three signs were erected without given per-
mission. ~r. Sanson asked the City Manager why signs are being erected
before receiving approval. The City Manager replied he will check into
thi~ matter. Mr. Sanson further stated the Community Appearance Board
minutes reflect that situation. Mr. Sanson also questioned the situation
of Boynton Beach tapping into ~D water lines. The City Manager added
that he did not recall a specific time limit being put on the approval.
Mr. Sanson added that it was his understanding this was not a blanket
approval for Boynt.on Beach to use the water at any time. The City
Manager added that he would check the contract.
Mr. Weekes moved that the status of City Manager be placed on
the Agenda for consideration under Item 4.b., seconded by Mr. Randolph,
said motion passing unanimously.

Jr. to fill the vacancy of the unexpired term of Mr. Andrew Gent,
seconded by Mr. Weekes. Upon roll call, Council voted as follows:
Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mr. Sanson - Yes; Mr. Weekes - Yes; Mayor Scheifley -
Yes. The motion passed with a vote of 4 to 0. Mr. John E. Gomery, Jr.
subscribed to the Oath of Office administered by Mrs. Elizabeth Arnau,
City Clerk.
4.b. Mr. Weekes moved for the appointment of ~. Eldon Mariott as
~i~y Manager for an indefinite term to serve at the pleasure of Council,
seconded by Mr. Randolph. Mr. Sanson stated he would support the motion
on the basis that Resolution 19-76 formalizes and starts the investiga-
tion of the Police Department. Upon roll call, Council voted as follows:
Mr. Gomery - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mr. Sanson - Yes; Mr. Weekes - Yes;
Mayor Scheifley - Yes. The motion passed with a vote of 5 to 0. The City
Manager expressed his appreciation to Council. He further added that he
is deeply concerned when a reference is made to the effect that his
future as City Manager is tied to the Police Department Investigation
and Evaluation or any other investigation of the City. He stated he
knows he is not guilty of any illegal acts in connection with the Police
Department or any other department or any other action of the City. Any
actions that he has taken in the past and at the present have been
dictated solely by information brought to him through Proper channels
and at no time has he known of any illegal acts on the part of any City
employees with regard to the Police Department or any other department
of the City. Had he known of any illegal acts, he would have been the
first person to do something about it. He issued a challenge to anyone
sitting in the meeting, if they knew of any corruption in the Police
Department or any illegal acts, that those persons should have come
forward and made it known. No one more than himself wants to see that
right is done and that justice'is done. He Stated he did much in attempting
to uncover any possibility of unlawlessness or corruption . For that
purpose, he called in each member of the Police Department for an indiv-
idual conversation in confidence. He asked questions of each police
employee designed to illicit information. In each case, the answer was
no, they did not have that information. When each employee left his
office, he made handwritten notes stating what the employee had said.
He is waiting to see, among other people of the City, just what comes
from the investigation. The truth in 1974 and 1975 still remains the
truth in 1976. Whatever the cards ~are, he is willing to stand or fall
with them because he knows that his skirts are entirely clean.
5. There were no public requests from the floor.
6.a.1. The City Manager reported the term of J. C. Collier, Jr. on
the Civil Service Board expired on April 1, 1976. This was reported to
Council at the last workshop meeting. Mr. Collier plans to leave the City
due to a job transfer; however, Mr. Collier stated he will be available
through May 26, 1976 for continued service on the Board. The City Manager
stated the Board has several actions that are pending which need immediate
attention and recommended that Council reappoint Mr. Collier to the Civil
Service Board, realizing the service will be of very short duration. Mr.
Randolph moved for the reappointment of Mr. Collier to the Civil Service
Board through May 26, 1976, seconded by Mr. Sanson, said motion passing
unanimously.
6.a.2. The City Manager reported he has received an application from
the Patio Beauty Salon, 648 N. E. 8th Street, for Council to override
the decision of the Community Appearance Board. The City Manager requested
this item be deferred to the end of the agenda under Item 9.e. Mr.
Randolph moved this item be placed under Item 9.e., seconded by Mr.. Sanson,
said motion passing unanimously.
The City Manager stated the City Attorney h~s recommended that
Item 8.e. concerning the rezoning of the Nowlin property on South Swinton
Avenue and S. W. 10th Street be discussed under Item 6.a.3. Mr. Sanson
moved that Item 8.e. be moved to item 6.a.3., seconded ki Mr. Weekes,
said motion passing unanimously.
- 2 - 4-12-76.
6.a.3. Mayor Scheifley stated at this time, the second and final
reading of Ordinance 1-76 relative to rezoning the southwest corner
of Swinton Avenue and S. W. 10th Street, will be considered.
City Attorney Saberson stated Council had requested that
he check into the possibility of reconveying to Mr. Nowlin the 15
foot right-of-way that was conveyed to the City by Mr. Nowlin and
also by the Wyatt family who own property included in this rezoning.
Council minutes and documentation of Mr. Nowlin reflect that in
1968 when the rezoning to a commercial zoning classification was
originally considered, it was conditioned upon the conveyance of Mr.
Nowlin and Mr. & Mrs. Wyatt of the 15 foot right-of-way. After
researching the matter, the City Attorney stated there is a specific
case law in Florida that prohibits the kind of conditional zoning
that was purportedly made in this case, and if there were such an
agreement, it would be invalid. In addition, Florida statutes require
a written agreement in land issues. The City Attorney stated one
additional change has come to his attention and that is the Wyatt
property is subject to now, and was subject to at the time of the con-
veyance to the City, a mortgage. It would be a very easy matter for Mr.
Nowlin to purchase that mortgage releasing a portion of the property
and foreclosing on the 15 feet and thereby take title to the 15 feet.
The City Attorney stated the mortgage is $2,600 and based uPon that,
he would recommend that the City either buy out the mortgage or reconvey
that 15 feet to Mr. & Mrs. Wyatt. The City Attorney advised he had dis-
cussed this matter with Mr. Nowlin and that if Council would agree to
reconvey the Wyatt property based upon the recommendation of the City
Attorney, Mr. Nowlin would remove his objection to the rezoning.
Mr. Weeks moved that the City Attorney prepare a deed to con-
vey the 15 feet of property formerly owned by Mr. & Mrs. Wyatt and
formerly deeded to the City, back to the Wyatts. This property is loca-
ted on the south side of S. W. 10th Street slightly west of the inter-
section of Swinton Avenue~and S. W. 10th Street. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Gomery, said motion passing unanimously.
The City Manager presented Ordinance No. 1-76.

Mr. Gomery - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mr. Sanson - Yes; Mr. Weekes -
Yes; Mayor Scheifley - Yes. The motion passed with a vote of 5 to 0.
6.b. Mr. Serafin Leal stated he had been asked to speak before
Council in regard to the invoice of Candeub, Fleissig and Associates
pertaining to the preparation of a zoning report and oral presentation
of report to Council concerning the rezoning of the Hoffmann property.
The City Manager reported that the City Attorney, in consultation with
the above-mentioned consulting firm, was able to secure a reduction in
the bill in the amount of $500 from the original bill. After securing
this reduction, the City Attorney recommended that $1,710.40 be paid.
Mr. Sanson stated that he was very disappointed in the presentation
compared to what was charged and could not justify Mr. Candeub's trip
to Florida when all he did was read off a prepared statement, much of
which material already had been prepared by the firm and submitted to
Council. Mr. Leal advised that it was his misunderstanding that Mr.
- 3 - 4-12-76.
Candeub was to make the trip to Florida and accepted this as his
mistake. As a result, the firm reduced the bill including all the
time and travelling expenses that Mr. Candeub had with respect to
his trip to Florida. Mr. Weekes moved that the City pay the bill
to Candeub, Fleissig and Associates in the amount of $1,710.40,
seconded by Mr. Randolph, said motion passing unanimously.
6.c. The City Manager reported that the Civil Service Board
has requested that Council change the date of the Civil Service
election from April 19, which is a City holiday, to April 20, 1976.
Mr. Randolph moved the date of the Civil Service Board election be
moved from April 19 to April 20, 1976, seconded by Mr. Gomery, said
motion passing unanimously.
6.d. Mayor Scheifley asked that consideration be given to the
amendment to the contract for the sale of an undivided one-half
interest in the 34+ acre sewage treatment plant site to the City
of Boynton Beach. ~ke City Attorney stated tkat this is the second
amendment that Council has considered with regard to this contract.
The first amendment was in regard to the interest and this amendment
relates to the repayment of the funds being paid by the City of
Boynton Beach in the event that the plant construction is not commenced
within 24 months, or if prior tc that time both cities acknowledge
that the plant will not be constructed. Mayor Scheifley stated Delray
Beach is losing over $50.00 a day interest on this matter and recommended
the matter be cleared up. Mr. Weekes stated if this land is not being
used for a sewer plant site, the City of Boynton Beach reconvey at the
same price to the City of Delray Beach that undivided one-half interest.
Mr. Weekes asked the City Attorney when this item will be closed. The
City Attorney stated this is tentatively set for May 4, 1976. Mr. Sanson
stated he feels this is purposely being delayed by the City of Boynton
Beach and stated if a motion is to be made, he feels there should be a
condition that if Boynton Beach does not close this deal on May 4, 1976,
then Delray Beach withdraw the offer as to the price of the land. The
City Attorney advised that if Boynton Beach does not close on May 4, the
offer be automatically withdrawn. Mr. Weekes moved that Council accept
the amendment, seconded by Mr. Gomery, said motion passing unanimously.
