The minutes of the regular Council meeting of April 14, 1969, were unanimously approved, on motion by Mr. Youngblood and seconded by Mr. Pitts. 5. Mr. Pitts referred to an article in the Municipal Record magazine where the City Commission of M~lborne recently authorized construction of an atomic-powered sewer treatment plant which will probably be the first of its kind in the United States. He suggested that the City Manager try to get a report on said plant'from Me]borne, to have in the City files for future reference, and it was so requested of the City Manager. 5. Mr. Pitts referred to the 'much pubiicized proposed limestone mining of Lake Okeechobee, and said if Council feels the same as he does, telegrams or letters Should be sent to the Corps of Engineers and to Congressman Paul Rogers, protesting said mining. He re~orted that there is to be a public hearing On that item on May'22nd. The Council did not feel they had enough information to make a de- cision on that item tonight, and Mr. Pitts offered his items of inform- ation on same for Council to study. 5. Mr. Pitts said that an interested citizen had suggested that the City Manager and Director of RecreatiOn be approached with the possi- bility of having some tournaments in the City, such as an open golf tournament for seniors and juniors, and other competitive sports and tournaments, which should create some interest in the town, and in the recreational faciiities. It was suggested that Mr. Elliott, Recreation Director, prepare that type of program for Council consideration. 5. Mr. Pitts suggested that in~ the designated surfing area at the beach, two markers be Placed where the surfers would come in inside the mark- ers and go'out outside of them, which may prevent some serious accident in the future. He suggested that the City Manager talk withMr. Luke Wilson in an effort to set up something of that nature. 5. Mr. Youngblood informed Council that he had been asked by some resi- dents if they would have to pay the' full garbage collection fee for the month in view of the fact that they carried their garbage for two weeks during that time. Mayor Saunders reported that he had received several inquiries con- cerning that item. During discussion, FinanCe Director~weber explained that in billing for garbage services, and sewer services, if a customer receives.such services for at least se%eh days in a month he is billed the full month- ly charge. He said some estimates had been made today and the Admini~ stration is of the opinion 'that all commercial accounts and all the large apartment houses have had good garbage collection service during this period. He Said if adjustments are made on the garbage bills he would like.to-.be given enough leeway that if someone is billed and they do complain, that he can conduct an investigation and if he honestly believes theyhave been treated unfairly, overall for the month, that he be allowed to either give or deny a credit. Following lengthy discussion, Mr. Youngblood moved that all the commercial and large apartment accounts be Charged the usual amount for garbage service,.givingMr. Weber the privilege of investigating any complaints and either giving or denying a credit; further, that the duplexes, small apartments and single family residences be charged fifty per cent of their usual monthly chakge. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pitts and carried'unanimously. 7.a. The City Clerk informed Council that the Plumosa Kindergarten and Nursery of the Delray Beach Primitive Baptist Church requests the use of the Community Center's gymnasium and stage facilities during the evening of Friday, May 16th, between the hours of 6:00 and 9:00 P.M., for the purpose of conducting a graduation program; further, such usage of the center at the specified time has been determined not in conflict with any Center programming, and, having the approval of the Director of Recreation, Mr. Alfred Elliott, it is recommended that the request be granted. Said request was unanimously granted, on motion by Mr. Youngblood and seconded by Mr. Scheifley.. 7.b. Council was informed that the FirSt Baptist Church of Delray Beach requests the use of the Center's gymnasium on SundayafternoOn, May 4th, Commencing at 12:30 P.M., for the purpose of serving a dinner to an anticipated attendance of 250; further, the Community Center program- ming will.not be affected by such use, and, being approved bythe Recreation Director, it is recommended that this petition be granted.

The City Clerk presented RESOLUTION NO. 18~69. A RESOLUTION. OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, IN PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 1~88 THEREOF PROVIDING THAT THE "PUBLIC BEACH" SHALL BE DEFINED AS THAT BEACH LYING BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH BOUNDARIES OF SECTION 16, TOWNSHIP 46 SOUTH, RANGE 43 EAST. {Copy of Resolution No. 18-69 is attached to the official copy of these A Public Hearing' having been legally advertised in compliance with the Charter of the City of Delray Beach was held. The City Clerk read the following letter, dated April 25th, 1969, from James B. McGuire: "Before YOu tonight is a proposed charter amendment which Seeks to define public beach. As you are all aware the issue is not the definition of the public beach, but is the negation of the grounds for the suit which.has been brought to prevent the sale of the south beach. This is a most unfortunate basis for legislation, and I fear that passage of this proposed amendment in its present form will lead to future difficulties.in the development of our city. I would like to briefly outline the problem and give what I think is a better Solution. First, let me state that I believe that the city council has the right, and in fact the duty, to acquire land for the future development of our city. Similarly it must be possible to dis- pose of land when it is in the best interest of the city to do so. Fortunately, in the acquisition of land it is almost impossible to make a disastrous error..~Any land acquired can almost certainly be put to good public use in the future or, if no use is found, can be sold at a substantial profit. It is in the sale of'land that the danger lies. Some of the land owned by the city is protected from injudicious sale, for example the land on which city hall resides. City hall is not for sale because of the financial committment to the build- ing andits improvements. Much of the city owned land is not pro- tected by any improvementand this land will be subjected to mount- ing pressure for sale as the community grows. This applies par- ticularly to recreational land. We have already seen that misinformation, fear, and prospect of short term financial gain have allowed irreplaceable public recreational land to be sold. .I refer to the disposal of the Delray Beach public golf course some years ago. I feel that the city needs legislative protection from such incidents in the future. I suggest that you make provision for a new category of city owned land. For lack of a proper legal word, call it 'protected land'. Land may be designated as 'protected' by action of the city council or by an affirmative vote in a referendum. Once land has been designated as 'protected' it may not be sold. Land may be removed from the 'protected' category only by referendum. I feel that a charter amendment based upon the ideas above would be a valuable asset to the growth of this community. It would still provide for the sale of any city owned land, but if the land falls in the 'protected' category its sale requires a public man- date and is not subject to the whim of a particular council. Redefine public beach if you must, but please at the same time give us a way to help assure that our most valuablQ public land can be safe in the future." During discussion, other city-owned beach property was mentioned, and it was pointed out that this proposed Legislative Bill.only per- tains to the original one mile of public beach lying between Beach Drive and Casuarina Road, within Section 16-46-43. Resolution No. 18-69 was unanimously passed and adopted on this first and final reading, on motion by Mr. Youngblood and seconded by Mr. Scheifley. 8.g.

The si~ members present voted unanimously to recommend that Council deny the proposed annexation. The Board made this recommendation on the basis that excessive and detrimental strip commercial zoning exists-inside the City and this annexation would perpetuate such strip commercial zoning which is against Board policies." Mr..L.O. Peterson, representing the petitioner, asked that this Ordinance be tabled until the owner could come to some agreement with the Planning and Zoning Board upon a location of approximately ten acres for commercial zoning. Ordinance No. 21-69 was unanimously tabled, on motion by'Mr. Scheifley and seconded by Mr. Youngblood. Mr. Scheifley referred to the 1961 Comprehensive City Plan prepared by Mr. George W.

Motion passed unanimously." Mr. You~gblood moved to sustain the. recommen~ation of the Planning and Zoning Board and .deny the petition, themotion being seconded by Mr. Scheifley. There was discussion of the proposed relocation of Ingraham Avenue, and of a sketch of same prepared by.the City Engineer. Upon call of roll, Mr. Scheifley, Mr. Youngblood and Mayor Saunde=s voted in favor of the motion and Mr. Pitts was opposed. 9.c. City Clerk Worthing read the Beautification Committee meeting minutes of April 9, 1969, in'which Council action was requested on thefollowing two items:. 1."Mrs. Gerquest reported that there seemed to be more violations of 'cabanas along 'the grassed area of the beach. Mr. Elliott ex- plained' that there are actually 12 instead of 3 individuals who have been granted special permission. A motion was made by Mrs. Little that there be no cabanas on the grassed area= that if exceptions are allowed, they should be granted by Council; and that at night the cabanas should be removed to permit watering of the grass. 2.In pursuing the problem of litter~ Mr. Gooder moved that the city enforce the ordinance reqmiring that agbr£s.,'b~ok~n bottles and trash be .removed by the owner of an unsightly property." Item 1 concerning cabanas was tabled until CounCilman WilsOn re- turns from 'vacation. Item 2 concerning litter was discussed and it waspointed out that this item comes under Chapter 15 of the Code of Ordinances and is, en- forced through the survey of lands in Violation of the City's nuisance laws, which would require additional personnel if' the present procedure for such nuisance abatement, as Set forth in the Code of Ordinances, is desired to be revised. .Consideration for such. revision will be pro- vided in the coming Budgetpreparation and study. 10.a. Mrs. Dorothea Montgomery commended~he Chamber of Commerce on their beautiful new building0n S~ E. 5th Avenus. 10.a.
