A regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, was held in the Council Chambers at 7:30 P.M. on
Monday, March 26, 1973, with Mayor James H. Scheifley presiding,
City Manager J. Eldon Mariott, City Attorney G. Robert Fellows,
and Council members Grace S. Krivos, J. L. Saunders, Leon M. Weekes
and O. F. Youngblood present.
1. The opening prayer was delivered by Dr. Frank Hamilton
of the Church of the Palms, Delray Beach, Florida.
2. The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States
of America was given.
3. The minutes of the regular meeting of March 12, 1973 were
unanimously approved on motion by Mrs. Krivos and seconded by Mr.
Weekes.
4.a. Mayor Scheifley read a Proclamation proclaiming the week
of April 9 through 15, 1973, as Earth Week. The Proclamation was
received by Mrs. Roy Chenault, Chairman of the Committee on Environ-
mental Quality of the League of Women Voters. Mrs. Chenault
announced the dates for the Reynolds Aluminum Truck to receive
aluminum cans for recycling. She also informed Council of the dates
that newspapers would be collected in Boca Raton.
5.a. Mr. Charles W. Moore of Delray Beach informed Council that
several years ago the City had requested him to annex 25 acres south
of S.W. 10th Street from Germantown Road to the right-of-way of 1-95
to enable the City to annex property west of this acreage. Mr.
Moore complied with this request with the understanding that 300
feet on the west side of his property would be zoned C-3 and the
balance of the 25 acres would be zoned C-2. The City annexed Mr.
Moore's property under the above stated conditions. Mr. Moore later
signed an agreement with the City giving the City a 50 foot right-
of-way along the entire 25 acres. This past January, Mr. Moore
discovered his property had been rezoned from C-2 to RM-15 on 9½
acres; 4 acres is zoned Heavy Industrial; other property on which he
had built a warehouse is now zoned RM-15 making it non-conforming.
Mr. Moore requested that his property be rezoned back to the original
zoning. It was agreed by Council that the matter should be referred
to the Planning and Zoning Board. Council ascertained that Mr.
Moore would be represented at the appropriate meeting by his attorney.
5.b. Mr. Mar~ott explained to the public that the construction
in the Council Chambers has not yet been completed, including the
sound system.
6.a. The City Manager stated an easement deed for a 5 foot
strip of land along N.E. 1st Street in front of Neal's Market re-
quired acceptance by Council. Sometime ago a request had been made
for a sidewalk in this vicinity, but had not been acted upon because
of lack of right-of-way. Mr. Weekes moved that the City accept the
easement deed from Mr. and Mrs. Jack Rogers of the south 5 feet of
the east 55 feet of Lots 7 and 8, Block 75. Mr. Saunders seconded
the motion which passed unanimously.
6.b. The City Manager informed Council the following bids have
been received to purchase a tractor with a front end loading bucket
and rear box type scraper with a 1960 model tractor to be traded in.

The City Manager recommended that the award be made to the
low bidder, Trail Ford Tractor Co., in the amount of $5,581.00, for
which sufficient funds have been appropriated. Mr. Saunders ques-
tioned whether or not the Ford tractor, being lighter equipment,
would be sufficient for the work required. Mr. Mariott replied the
Ford tractor does meet City specifications and is thought to be
heavy enough to handle the work. Mr. Youngblood moved that the
award be given to Trail Ford Tractor Co. in the amount of $5,581.00,
seconded by Mrs. Krivos and passed unanimously.
6.c. The City Manager presented bids received for the purchase
of 15 vehicles for use by the Parks and Recreation Department, the

The City Manager pointed out that on Item 8 "No Bid" was initially
submitted by Adams Chevrolet as well as Rich Motors. After the
opening of the bids, Adams Chevrolet did submit a bid of $4,550.00
which is considered to be a reasonable amOunt. Although this
vehiclesdoes not quite meet the City's written specifications, it
is judged to be satisfactory for the job. Sufficient funds are
available for these vehicles with the exception of Item 4; this item
has a shortage of $1,400.00. The City Manager recommended that
Council authorize a transfer of $1,400.00 from the General Fund Con-
tingency Account. Mr. Saunders moved that the 15 vehicles be
awarded to the low bidder, Adams Chevrolet, and that the $1,400.00
be transferred from the General Fund Contingency Account. Mr.
Youngblood seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
6.d. The City Manager stated that the agreement for installation
of sanitary sewerage facilities on Lindall Boulevard and Brant Drive
was first considered in 1971. The agreement was between the City,
First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Miami and Dr. Frank
Cusumano; however, Dr. Cusumano did not fulfill the agreement at
that time. At a later date, several other parties were introduced
into a similar agreement which was not consummated. City Manager
Mariott said this was essentially the original agreement being con-
sidered at present and Dr. Cusumano has deposited $25,000 with the
City for his share of the construction cost. Mayor Scheifley ques-
tioned the length of time the site plan approval for Dr. Cusumano
would be valid. ~he City Manager replied that the' ~usumano Village
site plan is no longer valid. Dr. Cusumano must submit a new site
plan under existing rules and regulations, and he has his architect
preparing a new site plan at present. Mr. Weekes moved that Council
authorize the execution of the agreement, seconded by Mr. Saunders
and passed unanimously.
(Copy of said agreement is attached to the original copy
of these minutes.)
6.e. The City Manager requested that the awarding of a contract
for beach restoration project n~ be considered at this meeting.
Clearance base. been obtained~from the Corps of Engineers, but has not
been obtained from the State. Council agreed to call a special
meeting, if necessary, to award the contract as soon as the State
clearance is received.
6.f. The City Manager stated the contract between Southern Sani-
tation~Service, Inc. and the City for their operation of the Refuse
Transfer Plant in Delray and their hauling of Delray's refuse outside
of the City is being recommended by Council for a five year extension
from October 31, 1973. In addition to the present contract, several
items have been added which will benefit the City. The City Manager
stated the new agreement carried the consumer price index adjustment
and the cost of living factor will be applied to the contract each
year. One paragraph is to be inserted into the contract at the
request of the City to which Southern Sanitation agrees which basically
states that if any development consisting of 100 dwelling units or
more use the services of Southern Sanitation, 7~ of the fees
collected by the lessee would be paid to the City by the lessee.
Upon questioning, a representative from Southern Sanitation agreed
that they would attempt to comply with suggestions from the Beauti-
fication Committee to attempt to beautify the site as much as possible.
Mr. Weekes moved the adoption of the agreement between the City of
Delray Beach and Southern Sanitation Service, Inc. with the amend-
ment as proposed by the City Attorney and the City Manager. Mr.
Saunders seconded the motion which passed unanimously.

6.g. The City Manager recommended that Council approve the
entering into of a Cooperation Agreement between the City and the
Delray Beach Housing Authority as discussed at the March 19th work-
shop meeting. Mr. Saunders so moved, Mr. Youngblood seconded and
the motion passed unanimously.
(Copy of the Cooperation Agreement is attached to the
official copy of these minutes.)
7.a. Mayor Scheifley acknowledged receipt of the minutes of the
Beautification Committee for its February 7, 1973, and March 8, 1973
meetings. One item requested by the Committee was that the trash
trucks be covered by tarpaulins to prevent trash from blowing off.
This matter has been handled.
7.b. The City Manager stated that the City Solicitations
Committee has recommended approval of the application of the Delray
Beach National Little League for permission to solicit funds on
April 27th and April 28th. Ail requirements have been met and
approval is recommended. Mr. Saunders moved that permission to

mous ly.

(Copy of Resolution No. 14-73 and~ac~ompanying ag~eemem~~
ar~e a~tached~to~the official copy of these minutes.)
City Manager Mariott informed Council that on January 15,
1973, the State Pollution Control Board gave the City permission to
install package sewage treatment plants provided the plants provide
90% treatment. The Area Planning Board granted permission for this
installation setting a minimum of 50,000 gallons per day on each
site. The Area Planning Board also approved the guidelines drawn
up by the city which include the inspections planned by the City of
these sites. The rates are based on the design-size of the plants.
A bond will be posted by each developer based on the cost of the
Package plants,-said b~nd guaranteeing i~a~lat,io~n~e~al~of
the plant after the city sewerage treatment plant is in operation.
Considerable discussion ensued concerning various aspects of the
guidelines, rates, etc. Mr. Ben Buten, representing Oliver Construc-
tion Company, spoke from the floor questioning whether the operating
charge refers to the size of the plant; assuming the size of the
plant and the number of units contained in the size of the plant
meet the criteria established by the necessary bodies, then he would
have no objection to the City acting on the motion. The City Manager
confirmed Mr. Buten's interpretation of the agreement. It was
ascertained the treated effluent would empty into the City's sewage
system and empty through the outfall system. Mr. Saunders moved for
the passage of Resolution No. 14-73, seconded by Mr. Youngblood and
passed unanimously.
