5. Mr, Croft said he had received complaints from people sitting in

5. 'Regarding Council permission granted on February 13th, 1967, for
the Jaycees to use the Community Center on Saturday evening, March llth
and the City Park on March llth and 12th for the Annual Jaycee Fun Days,
~r. Merritt informed Council that the Jaycee Fun Days have been post-
poned until April 22nd and 23rd, and the Club would like the dates for
use of the City facilities changed accordingly.
Mr. Merritt moved that the City Manager be given permission to grant
said request, provided it could be worked into his program. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Croft and carried unanimously.
5 Mr. Talbot said that he had never realized until he heard the Delray
Beach Story presented by City Manager Gstchel at the Kiwanis Club just
what the Beach rehabilitation and revetment has done for the City of
Delray Beach and the beach,..even though he was Chairman of the Beach
Erosion Committee.
Mr. Talbot said that he wou~d like to explain his ideas to the Coun-
cilmen and continued: "I would like to have immediate consideration of
progressing with the extension of the Beach rehabilitation and revet-
ment program. There remains yet to be done approximately 1200 feet
from the south end of the present revetment to Atlantic Avenue, plus
approximately 2500 feet to the end of the Public Beach. I would like
to .see work startedor plans made beginning immediately. This matter
could be broken down into phase 2 concerning the 1200 feet north of
Atlantic Avenue, and along with this, at the end of Atlantic Avenue I
think there should be anadeq~te pavilion built, hurricane PrOOf, with
proper facilities such as toilet facilities, and of adequate size to
take, care o~eeds and future needs for the public to Use,
Next is where you get the. money to do this. I would like to include
in this item on the agenda' of the next regularly stated meeting the in-
struction to the City Manager to contact ~lace Engineering Corporation
for estimates of phases 2 and 3 an~ the shelter house or pavilion. The
-1- 2-24-67

preliminary engineering has already been done. This 'is more or less
repetitive work, and it would appear to me that they could come up
with figures in pretty` qUiCk fashion'· Last but not least, does the
public want this? I sm led to believe by the people I have talked with,
the general comments, and seeing ~he people enjoy that part of the
rehabilitation and revetment that has been done to .date, that this
matter should be put to a choice of the people by a. referendum on
whether they desire tO authorize the issuance of general obligation
bonds to complete this program."
Mr. Talbot said that the longer this ~ork is put off the more it
Will cost, and continued: "You have your proper angle repose presently,
and it would appear to me that engineering wise it would be relatively
Very inexpensive as opposed to the area·or the frontage that we have
done to date. In other words, this whole.~uggestion stems from the
fact whether the citizens, the tax payers of Delray Beach, wish to take
the obligation of permitting the City to issue ad valorem bonds or
general fund bonds to complete this program. I see no reason for my
reqUesting this to be on the agenda unless it meets With some sort of
approval of council, and in that interim period, if Council does approve
placing this on the agenda, I believe that our City Manager and City
.Clerk could take certain steps as to proceeding."
Mr. Talbot:then moved ~nat his suggest'ions, as chairman of the
Beach Erosion Committee, be placed on the agenda of the next regular
Council meeting~ ~There was no second to this motion.
There was a question as to how long it would take to prepare for a
Referendum, and it was pointed out that·this item should be publicized
extensively~
Mr. Talbot said'that if money is available he would like a tape
made of this Delray Beach revetment story as narrated by the City
Manager and the story be presented for the public on various advertised
Bates.
Mr. Talbot.moved that the City Manager be directed to ask Glace
Engineering Cor~POrati°n what a.feasibility study woUld cost on the
items that he had presented. The motion was secondedbyMr-Croft.
Upon call of Roll, Mr. Croft, Mr. Jurney, Mr. Talbot and Mayor Avery
votedin favor .of the motion and Mr. Merritt was opposed. Mr. Merritt
qUalified his vote in that with· the present condition of the Police
fac~&~ties he could vote no other way.
'6.a. Regarding extension of the Sewage Works Project, City Manager
Gatchel reported to Council as follows:
"As'a result of recent determination for extension of the Sewage Works

by Mr. Kabler to have Mr. Worthing write to the Cottingham Corpor&t~om
thanking them for their offer but advising that the. purchase is not
feasible at this time. The motion was seconded by Mr. CrOft and
carried."

,the present offer is for $125,000.
Mr. Talbot asked if there had been a lay-out of the number of cars
that could be parked in that area, end the cost per.car figured.
Mr. Merritt informed Council that was done at the time but not
reflected in the minutes, and that such a type of study is made on each
parcel referred to that committee.

accountants.
The presentation of the Audit Re~ort for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1966, completes the audit agreement between the City and
Himes & Himes. For obvious reasons, the employment of an auditing firm,
An compliance with Charter provisions, should be provided without undue
delay.
Mr. John Kirkton of Himes & Himes advises that they are agreeable
to renewing the agreement, referred to herein, at the same per diem
rates as existed in said agr, eement, ~overing their services for the
past two years, with the understanding that cost for each annual audit
will not exceed $7,000.00
Believing these per diem rates to be most reasonable, and in the
best interests of the-City, it is recommended that such renewal agree-
ment with Himes & Himes be authorized. However, competitive per diem
rates for such services will be obtained should it be the pleasure of
Council to so ~Arect."
Mr. Talbot m~ved ~.that':.Himes &~-Himes.:be retai~ed as. auditors for the
next two years, the motion being -~econded by Mr. Merritt and unanimously
carrried.

.~eported to Council as follows:
"The approved current budget reflects an .intended fencing project
kor enclosing a storage area at the City Barn, principally for assuring
the protectionof water.and sem~ipe, Valves, fittings and ~epartmental
supplies, and provided $~00.00 '~f~mm. the Water and Sewer FUnd for such
installation.
As a result of the recent a~ministrative re-organization and estab-
lishing the Office for the Director of ~ubli¢ Works at the rear of the
City Barn, it has been determined in the best interests of the City that
a greater area be enclosed by fencing to protect valuable City equipment
and supplies.

gate posts, all in accordance with City plans and s~ecifications, is
$2,228.55.
-4- 2-24-67
Subject to Council. approval hereof, which is recommended, authori-
zation is requested for the: transfer of $682.28 from the Water and
Sewer Contingency Account, and $646.27 from the General Fund Contin-
gency Account, to cover the: additional cost. ? ·
The City Manager said it had originally been planned zo fence in
~he currently used pipe storage area at the corner of S. W. 8th Avenue
and 4th Street, but since the office of the Director of Public Works
is located at the City Barn area it had been deemed advisable to en-
large that fenced area where there would be an element of control that
would not be had at the other location~ further, it is the intention
to move the rock pile for construction of roads, etc., into that fenced
area also.
Finance Director Weber reported a balance of $65,331. in the General
Fund Reserve for Contingency Account, and a balance of $246,600. in the
Water and Sewer ~Fund Contingency Account.

Fence Company bid was $2,480. and Florida Fence Company was ~2,228.55,
both bidding on plans and specifications provided by the City Engineer
which included double drive gates, angle bracket barbed wire. top .rails,
corner, line and gate posts.
Following lengthy discussion, Mr. Talbot moved that the bid be
accepted on the basis of specifications amounting to $2,228.55 and the
sum be charged to the Contingency Account of the Water and Sewer Fund.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Jurney and carried unanimously.

excerpt of the February 22nd Planning Board report concerning same:
-6- 2-24-67
"Afte~ consideration of all opinions and review of the above

9.e. Concerning the request of Mr. James J. Ritterbusch, dated October
27, 1966, for rezoning a tract of land fronting on the north side of
West Atlantic Avenue, adjacent to and west of Breezy Ridge Estates,
the Planning Board in its re~ort of February 7th, recommended that the
request be approved subject to a right-of-way being provided for
northerly extension of Homewood Boulevard through said tract. On
February 13th, Council referred this item back to the Planning Board
for clarification as to the width of right-of-way deemed necessary for
said road extension, and the following is the planning Board report
Concerning same, dated February 22nd=
"In reference to correspondence dated February 7th, 1967 from
the Planning and Zoning Board to City Council-concerning the
right-of-way on the west side of that.propertF known as
W~ of SW~ of NE% of SW% lying North
of the North right-of-way line of
West A~antic Avenue in Section 18,
Township 46 South, Range 43 East
the Board offers the following suggestion.
.. A right-of-way of eighty (80) feet be acquired on the
west side of said tract.
This right-of-way would providefor the orderly extension
of Homewood Boulevard, north of Atlantic Avenue.
An attached copy of a sketch showing the proposed right-
of-way in conjunction with theexisting Homewood Boulevard
is provided for Council's clarification.
This sketch also shows the relationship of this right-
of-way to a tentative street programinvolving the
extension of Davis Road and the forthcoming Congress
Avenue.
Based on this proposaland any future development of this.
area the Board feels.this right-of-way is of utmost
importance."
'' It was stated that rezoning should not be contingent upon contri-
bution of right-of-way.
Mr. Ritterbusch informed Council that the property involved is in
aa Estate, and the Trustees of the Estate is a bank in Manchester
England; further, that hewould reco~m~end to them that they donate an
80-foot right-of-way with some provision of a reverter clause where if
the road is not put in in a.stipulated'~number of years.that, the right-of-
Way would revert back to the original owners. Mr. Ritterbusch suggested
five years as a time limit on the road being built.
Mr. Jurney moved to accept the recommendation of the Planning/Zoning
Board and request the CityAttorney to prepare an Ordinance for Council
consideration and first.reading at the next regular Council meeting.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Talbot, and following lengthy d&saussion,
carried unanimously.
9.f. Concerning the petition of the owners of Lots 1, 2 & 3, Block 81,
for rezoning of said property from R-2 to C-2, a Planning Board report
dated February 7th recommended that the request be approved subject to
the right-of-way being provided for future widening of N. E. 2nd Avenue
and N. E. 4th Street, The COuncil, passed a motion that this request be
tabled pending advice from the Planning Board as to recommended Width
-7- 2-24-67
of right-of-way necessary and the possibility of .obtaining quit claim
deeds for same.
The following is the Planning Board report concerning same, dated
F ebruaL~, 22ndz
"Tn reference to correspondence., dated February 7th, 1967 from
· the Planning and Zoning Board to City ;~uncil concerning the
right-ofoway at the South .East corner ~of North East 2nd Avenue
and 4th Street, the Board offers th· following suggestion.
1. An.'addLt~onal fl£teen feet of right-of-way on the North
Bast 4th Street side of said property.
This would coml~ly with City Ordinance No. G-34] estah-
lishling a forty foot setback from the center line of
4th Street.
i~ this. property is rezoned and commercially developed
any future attempts at right-of-way acquisition would
be at a much greater expense.
The major Thoroughfare plan and proposed State and County
Road Program indicate 4th Street'from Lake Ida Road to
u. s. % 1,-as the major Bast-West access in. the north end
of Delray Beach, -'
We .~feel for these reasons 'this subject deserves max~m
consideration.
2. The need for a right-of-way on the 2nd Avenue side of
said property would require a detailed study of future.
traffic ways throughout the Detray Beach Shopping Area.
Although zoning .could not be wit~fb%~d, pand~gg su~h, atudy
the Board urges the city to consider this urgent recD/irement
as it would be a great economic saving to the city in the
future."
Attorney Carl, G. Gezelschap appeared before council representing
one of the petitioners, Mrs. Julia L. Adams..
it was pointed OUt that zoning should not be contingent upon
contribut.ion of right-of-way.
Following discussion, Mr. Jurney moved that the City. Attorney be
directed to Prepare an ordinance to present to Council at the next
~egular meeting changing the ZOning ae requested, the motion being
seconded by ~r. Talbot and unanimously, carried.
