~. ~thur Sprott of Grac~ Brothers Real Estate & Insurance,
representing the people Offering tO ~rchase said beach property, said
he had been inStrUcted ~.withdraw the o'ffer, and that withdrawal
due to the time element ~f a reT~end~ or long t~e advertising pro-
gr~ ~s considered.
Following some d~scussion, ~. Sprott info.ed co~cil that he
iS authorized at th~s ~ment ~ offer the C~ty what it paid for the

There being no objection to Ordinance No. 14-68, said Ordinance
was unanimously passed and adopted on this second and final reading,
on motion by Mr. Jurney and seconded by Mr. Wilson.
9.a. The City Clerk reported that the Planning and ~oning Board, under
date of April 18th, recommended denial of petitions for re~ontng of Lot
2, and Lots 28 thru 44, Del-Harbour. Subdivision from R-1AA to R-3, and
Council, at its last regular meeting deferred final action on these
_~eports, req~esting that same be resubmitted to Council at this meeting.
Mr. Youngblood moved to sustain the recommendations of the Plan-
'ning and ~Ontng Board, the motion being seconded by Mr. Merritt. Upon
call of ro11, Mr. Merritt, 'Mr. Wilson, 'Mr.' YoungblOod and Mayor Saunders
voted in favor of' the motion, and Mr. Jurney abstained fro~ voting.
9.b. Concerning a request for Site Plan Approval, the Cit~ Clerk
presented the following Planning and Zoning Board report, dated May
22, 1968:
"On May 21st, 1968, a Public Hearing was held in City
Hall at 4~00 P.M., considering a petition requesting Site
P1an 'ApproVal in R-3 (Multiple Family Dwelling District)
on the following described property=
North 52.66' of LOt-5~ South 100~ of Lot 4~ and
South 100' of Lot 6, Block "L", all:'~eing-in John
B. Reid's Village~ 'ALSO Lot 8, Block "L", Replat
of' Blocks L, M and N of John B. Reid's Village~
also an irregular parcel contiguous' thereto as
described in Office Record Book 734-108, Delray
Beach, .per Plat Book 23, Page 137, pUbliC Records
of Palm BeaCh County, Florida.
There was one objector, Mr. Vernon Phillips, to
parking facilities adjacent to venetian Drive.
The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously to
recommend that the City C0U~cil grant 'apprOval to the Site
Plan petition as presented, which is in compliance with
Section 29-7.5% of the DelzaY* BeaCh' ~n~ng Code."
After looking 'over the plans of the proposed development .of-this
property, Mr. Wilson moved to grant the request. The motion was sec-
onded' by Mr. Jurney and carried Unanimously.
Following a question by Mrs. Dorothea Montgomery concerning water
pressure in the area with the construction of the various buildings,
City Manager Gatch~l reported that last stumner the City completed a
looping of the wate~ system for the entire beach area south of Atlantic
Avenue and there is ample water pressure in that area.
Mrs. 'Montgomery said she had 'asked last year that consideration
be given to construction of a sidewalk on Venetian Drive, and now with
more building there would be much more foot traffic in that area.
The City Manager reported that after &~ survey had been completed
.and it had been recommended that a sidewalk be constructed, the winter
.season had started, and since it is the desire to hold such construction
to a minimum' during the tourist season, the construction is planned in
the work schedule for this sur~ner.
10.a. Rev. Frank G~ Pinkston, representing the Christian Movement for
Civic Action, referred to requests made at the last Council meeting,
and asked what is planned to be 'done regarding the several .d~fferent
items contained in their proposal. He said the Florida ~ower & Light
Company had agreed to donate ten poles for the purpose of lighting
ball fields, etc., and that'within a few 'days their organization woul~
be contributing $5,000 to the City, ~earmarked for the purpose of recrea-
During discussion, the: proposed improvements of the
and estimated cost for same, 'were outlined by the City Manager.~'
Mayor Saunders suggested that Rev. Pinkston get in touch with the
City Manager/who :has been working for several weeks on the Sanitation
Department setup, with Council approval.
il0.a. Mr. Willie SLmmofae of the Progressive committee for Civic
Action, said that the committee did recommend, along with the Council,
at the last meeting, that the teen town center location be used for a
'pony league field rather than an adult field.
He then read the following statement= "During the past C~ty
elections there were many campaign speeches made. Of the many that were
given, one .noble promise stood out. On a number of occasions, I heard
our Councilman express the need for Day Care Centers in DelraY,. and
also heard' promises to WOrk for their establishment. The Progressive
Committee for 'Civic Action has made some surveys slid' have found that
there is a great and' crying need for Day Care or Nursery Centers in
the western sector of our City. Being a Counselor. at Carver High
School, I know of many students who .stay home during the day to care
for small children while the parents work. These children need robe
in school. This is the reason for many of our girls dropping out of
school, or who have to drop out. I dontt believe that Day Care will
solve, all of these problems, but I am sure it will alleviate some of
the conditions. Gentlemen, whereas we don'!'t want to add to the prob-
lems already being considered by the Council, we would like 'to know
'What are you doing about day Care centers?',"
Mayor Saunders and Councilman Youngblood said they had attended
meetings concerning Day Care Centers, held by the Ministerial AsSocia-
tion, and Mr. Youngblood reported on some of the developments at ~hose
meetings. He said there had been some progress made, and suggested
talking with Rev'. Carl S .t0. r~y in order, to be' brought up to date on.'thls
Following general discussion, .Mr. Yo~ng~lo~0d said he would con-
tact Rev. Storey and Others to see what can b~ worked out on ~this
item.
Mr. Simmons said when that committee .meets he would ap-
preciate being informed in order that he may meet v~ith.them.
10.a. Bruce Harris ~nf~rmed Council that a new organization,.. The
youth Christlan Mov.ement 'f°r civic, ~ Action, has.~reCently been formed,
and stems from the Adult chriStian Moyement for civic Action, their
main purpose is t° supplement that movement, and their project at
.Present iS to work toward stmuner jobs. ,..He gave results of a recent
survey con'cernin~ summer jobs, and commented further on summer employ-
ment of young people and of local.:;condttions...'~,He,'~asked,.;what haS~.been
.clone toward an appropriation for summer
Mayor Saunders reported that nothing had been done on the request
concerning allocation of $25,000. to finance summer jobs for youth.
Following general discUssion about lack of work and summer jobs
in a town of this size and type, Mayor Satunders reported that he had
attended a Chamber of co~merce meeting at Boca Raton today, and it was
announced that they are again this year running their job project, and
that the businessmen in town who can' use people, out of school, make
such request known to' the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber would
act as a clearing house to put the boys and girls to work as they
apply for the jobs.
Mayor Saunders asked that the City Manager .contact the local
Chamber of Commerce to see if they would be willing to act as a Clear-
ing house for sumuer .jobs.
10.b. City Clerk Worthing reported that as a result of Council. re-
cently having given the Delray Beach National Little League permission
to sell Decals in order to raise funds for purchase of baseball equip-
ment, its President, Mr. Walter E. Gies submits the following report,
dated May 15211= _£_~

"Please be advised that We~ The Delray BeaCh National Little

lO.b. Mayor Saunders reminded the Councilmen, and anyone in the audi-
ence who may.. be interested, that a meeting in the Council Chambers
would be held tomorrow night at 8:00 P.M. with County Commissioner
George Warren and County Engineer George Frost. He said the different

of the meeting being to attempt to secure enough help to get the
petitions out and enough signatures obtained to have a referend~um on
the Special Tax... District concern4~ng road buildlng_and 1-95,
10~'c. The City Clerk presented a bill from the City Attorney in the
