3.. ~e minutes of the regular meeting of June 24, 1974, were
approved on motion by Mr. Saunders and seconded by Mr. Randolph, said
motion passing unanimously.
4.a. Mayor Scheifley expressed Council's sympathy for the death of
Mrs. Krivos' mother-in-law and asked Mrs. Krivos to extend their
sympathy to the'family.
4.b. Mayor Scheifley read a letter from Mr. Thomas E. Weber,
Director of Finance, regarding the beautification of the median strip
from the presently landscaped area to Homewood Boulevard on West Atlan-
tic Avenue~ ~e estimated cost is $8,800.00, with the Evening Garden
Ci~D contributing $3,500'.00 to the project. The Evening Garden Club
has deposited $4,500.00 with the City eXceeding their original, offer
by $1,000.00. Mayor Scheifley requested a letter be prepared by Mr.
Weber for Council's signature thanking the Evening Garden Club for
their cooperation and generosity.
5.a. Mrs. Alice Plume, 409 Lake Drive, Delray Beach, secretary of
the Delray Beach Housing Authority, spoke from the floor concerning the
expiration of the terms of two members', Mr. Ken Ellingsworth and Mr.
James Ritterbusch, of the Delray Beach Housing Authority. She requested
Council consider the appointment of two members and asked that the
extension of the term of Mr. Simon Barnes be considered at the same
time. Acting City Manager Weber stated this item would go on the next
workshop meeting.
5.b. Mr. Frank F. Ellis, 553 Jaeger Drive, Delray Beach, spoke
from the floor concerning the case taken to court regarding building
and construction work being done on Sundays. Mayor Scheifley stated
that Council would send Mr. Ellis a copy of the letter they received
from the judge. Mr. Ellis' purpose was to inform the workers that
they are in violation of Ordinance No. 25-72 (amended Chapter 17 by
Ordinance No. 19-73) if they work between the hours of 8:00 P.M.
Saturday and 8:00 A.M. Monday. Mayor Scheifley suggested Mr. Ellis
discuss this matter with, the city Attorney.
5.co Mr. Dean Luce, 36 S. Ocean Boulevard, Delray Beach, spoke
from the floor concerning law enforcement of the new anti-noise ordi-
nance. A key section of this ordinance (No. 19-73) applies to amplified
348
music, plainly audible fifty feet away from the point of origin, as
being prima facia evidence of a violation. Since Ordinance No. 19-73
was passed last August, Mr. Luce stated he had been informed the City
has made only two arrests under this section in eleven months, although
he felt that arrests would easily be justified on every weekend evening.
Mr. Luce read briefly from a copy of a letter sent to him by the City
Manager dated July 10~ 1973. A copy was also sent to the Council
members and placed in the City Attorney's Police file. Mr. Luce ex-
pressed his feeling that many of the officers do not understand the
law and its proper interpretation. He spoke with several officers in
the beach patrol regarding enforcement of the ordinance and their
stated reasons for not acting were as follows: ! - they haVe no power
to make an arrest unless a citizen swears out a warrant; 2 - they are
aware of the music, but it does not appear to be in violation of the
ordinance; and 3 - the officers feel their superiors simply are not
concerned with enforcement of this ordinance. Mr. Luce stated that
although the Gipper Lounge has been fined $100.00 for disturbance, the
situation remains as it has the past two years° He further stated
the City Officials have suggested that the property owners seek an in-
junction against the Gipper Lounge in the Circuit Court° Several
prominent attorneys have recommended seeking a writ of mandamus. Mayor
Scheifley requested a report from Mr. Luce to present to the City
Administration and Council.
6.a. The Acting City Manager stated the following bids were re,
ceived by the City for the purchase of one 1974 truck chassis for
use by the Public Utilities Department suitable for the installation
of a 1,100 gallon water tank:
BIDDER BID
Rich Motors, Inc. $7,990.00
West palm Beach
Hauser Motor Company 8,778.00
Delray Beach
It is recommended the low bid of Rich Motors, Inc., in the
amount of $7,990.00, be accepted. Sufficient funds are provided in

passing unanimously.

10.b.1. Mayor Sckeifley stated there was a difference of opinion
between the State Department of Pollution Control in Tallahassee and
the Environmental Protection Office in Atlanta concerning the priority
list for sewage treatment plants. Black, Crow & Eidsness, Inc., Boca
Raton, are the City's consultants on this project. The EPA is ques-
tioning the Priority List as prepared by the DPC. On July 9, 1974,
representatives from the DPC are going to Atlanta to discuss the
Priority List with the EPA. Mr. Dan Mica, Administrative Assistant
to Congressman Paul Rogers, stated he was aware of the problem and was
considering attending the meeting in Atlanta with the EPA 'and the DPC.
He assured Mayor Scheifley that all decisions would be made on the
basis of merit and no political pressure would be involved. The request
from Pinellas County to be placed on 'the Priority List was denied since
the pollution in the St. Pete-Tampa Bay was caused by industrial waste,
not domestic sewage. Delray Beach, 27th on the Priority List, will,
therefore, remain in that position.
Mayor Scheifley stated that three reporters called him today
and said that the Boynton City Council had met at 5:00 P.M. on July 8,
1974, and had cancelled their joint meeting with the Delray Beach City
Council which was to be held on July 15, 1974. Two representatives from
Boynton Beach are to attend the meeting in Atlanta to request that the
grant to Delray Beach be held up until Boynton Beach and Delray Beach
come to an agreement. No official notice of this action has been
furnished Council. Mayor Scheifley stated that the position of Delray
Beach is the same as it has been concerning Boynton Beach. Mrs. Krivos
asked Mayor Scheifiey whether oY n~t, in his opinion, the representatives
from Boynton Beach would hinder the grant scheduled for Delray Beach.
He stated this is a possibility. Mayor Scheifley requested Messrs.
Weber, DeNeen and Weekes to stay after the meeting to discuss the
possibility of Mr. Mariott attending the meeting in Atlanta.
Mr. Tom Ingersoll, 1226 East Atlantic Avenue, Delray Beach,
spoke from the floor asking'whether or not Boynton Beach has passed a
bond issue to finance their portion of this Project. It was stated
that Boynton Beach has not taken this action, but that Delray Beach
passed a bond issue a year ago. Mayor Scheifley stated that EPA, a
Federal agency, granted Florida a given amount of money out of Federal
Funds, and then the DPC was given the authority to distribute said
funds in the state as they saw fit. Compliance with the Good Faith Act
is considered in the formula. Mr. Weekes stated the DPC makes a
recommendation subject to ratification by tile EPA.
10.b.2. Mr. Tom IngerSoll commended the City Manager and Council for
the experimental well for the municipal pool. He asked if a laboratory
report had been received on the sample of well water. Mayor Scheifley
asked Mr. Weber to obtain laboratory reports and report back to Council.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 P.M.
