RESOLUTION NO. 13-66
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF TH~ CITY. OF
DELRAY BEACH, FLOP~IDA, URGING THE PALM BEACH
COUNTY BOARD OF .EDUCATION TO RECONSIDER ITS.
.DECISION OF FEBRUARY 23, 1966, CONCERNING TRE
LOCATION OF T~B NEW VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL CENTER
AND TO ]~EED T~E PROFESSIONAL ADVICE OF SAID
BOARD' S EMPLOYED EDUCATIONAL EXPERTS.
(Copy of Resolution No. 13-66 is attached to the oi~ficial copy
of these minutes.) See.pages 64-B-6h-D.~
City Attorney Adams read the following excerpt from a January
3rd, 1966 letter to Mr. Robert W. Fulton, .Superinte~eat of Public'
Instruction, from Mrj Charles T. COuncil, Assistant sm~erintendent
of Inst-ruction, regarding sites for area~=0cational~.i~Ools.
"Mr. Bill McLean, Mr. Perk Mar~a%~s and I met =efta~ive to
the location of the area vocatio~aI schools, purpose in
writing this memorandum is to give you our best thin.king
relat-i=e to sites on the coast. Since we are =~dering s
north area voca~.~onal school and a so~th area v~tional
school, we have based our opinions upon. the ~stan~e from
the schools to the center and the accessibility of the area
vocational site to a main artery, especially 1-95.
The Boynton Beach area-seems to be about geographically co=rect
for the south site, and acceptance of the Boynton Beach C~F
site will have to be based upon how accessible it will b'e~
a main artery of traffic, since the'major problem is one
time and location of site, ~ are also of the opinion that
the first area vocational school should, be placed on the
south ~ite. The reason for this recommendation is that -
schools in the South have no vocal.ions1 educational opportunity
whereas the present Palm Beach site could serve all Schools
as a center excep~t Jupiter until we can build the nort~ county
area vocational s~hool. Since the School Board is aO~Sidering
possible sites at present, you might want to bring to their
attention these opinions."
City Attorney Adams said that if'Resolution No. 13-66 is
.passed after-Dr. A. D. Thorp comments on the situation, he would
like,~'if Council is agreeable,'that each Pa/mBeach County School
Board member personally receives-cOpy of said Resolution~ and'
that the City be advised of any ftffcure meetings' on the subject.
Mayor Avery-said that Delray Beach had been instrumental in
selling the ides of a vocational school in the sou~h area of Palm
Beach County and that Delray Beach has endorsed the Boyi~ton Beach
location for said school.
. Dr. A. D.~p, a member of the Palm Beach 'County ~oard of.
Public Instructi°~ protested the action of that Board in selecting'
a north county site for the vocational school, said that this is
not just a south coum. ty fight, but-a matter of grava~ concern for
the entire county as far. as the taxpayers~ are concerned.-
Dr..Thorp calledattention to. the fact that a'bond issue wes
passed a year. ago.tocorrec~ many-of the 'inequ/ties in' the
educational system, particularly pertaining to ~he'acureditation
of many high schools'~ and'-Seacrest High School andCarver High
~chool had been specifically singled out as having many deficiencies,
and among thosedeficiencieswas vocational.facilities. Further,-
that in the bond issue .was-provi'ded $98,300.00 for the. construction
of vocational facilities and '$30,000.00 for.equipment for SeaCrest
High School, and for Carver High School, $45~600.00 for
construction and $1,500.00 for equipment for vocational facilities~
m~king a total of $175,400.00. ~
Dr. Thorp explained,further= ,~n June it wasdecided unani-
mously by the Board of-Public Instructi~ to build~a vocational-
technical school in the south end. o~'the~county where the greatest
need lies. Inasmuch-as'the additions'.to~.Carver.and Seacrest ran
over the budget, and thermate now-under ,ConstruCtion', gymnasium,
cafeteria, classrooms, language laboratories, it ~as de=ided by
the Board, because, we bad,made, the deci~io~ to.develop a vocational-
technical school in the south end of the county, that ~t would be
foolish to expend this $175~,400. on duplicating facilities at
these individual schools~ therefore, this bond issue money was
used to take up the overage, so to speak, on the facilities which
are now under ~onstr~ction. If~the Boa=~s decision stands, .and
there~ill, in fact, be .no vocationa~l-technical school 'in the- south
end~of~ ~he.c~unty, it mean~s,. then from'the general fund~ from loua~
taxpayers, will. have to. come.this $175, 400. to imperil&rely begin~
vocational facilities atCarver and Seacrest to hold the accred~-
tation, of both. of these schooks~ ~ .... . ..
¥ollow/ng other c~mments, Dr. Thorp'sta.ted': "I'will.~con'clude
with one.o~her~financial fiasco that ea~.~be, involved.if this'
Board's decision'is~ allowed to stand'~' I~ am asking fOr'-a.ll~i~axpayers,
not just so~h coumty, but all taxpayers in.the Countyto take.~heed.
On February 10th the Board was told that we must approve the-first
vocational-technical school site to get State funds. ~ selected
the southcounty; however, to be eligible for these funds, this
school mustbe~.~committedand under contract' by AugUst.lst..of'this
year to hold'these funds. OtherWise', these funds wi~lbe =ealto-
cated to another county.!'
Dr.'Thorpexplained that it takes.~several.months~fOran~
architect to draw..up plansfor avocational~technical school;'.~and.
that the proposers of-the north ~ounty site do not even~have a
site at the present-time; further, that it~witl take,.at a
minimum,...two, monthsf0r the. state to.approve a..site,-shou~d.it, meet
approval,, add. that .he ~eels the August 1st ~ead.line cannot'be~ met
for. a north county site~ and that. P.al~'Beach ~Count~?will,'have
the .funds allotted for same~and the County will have no vocational
school
Mr. William Edell of.Boy~t~n Beach.announced that-.he'ha~
arrangedfor a-meeting of~ll interested peoDle, with the?School
Board~members .that could attend, ~o be.held Thursday,,March 3rd
at 7:30 P.M..a~ the.B0ynt0n. Beaoh City..Hall, and urged.a-It citizens
and taxpayers t~ attend said meeting. - .... ~.~
ReSol~ion~No~ 13-66 was unanimousl~ passed~.and adopted~on
this first and final'readin~ ,-on motion byMr. ,Jurney a~d~ seconded
Mr. Saunders suggested ~hat the press publicize.the coming
meeting in BoyntQn Beach, as.he felt if the parents of the. students
at.Carver.~and Se~crest High Schools .knew..said schools may I6se
their.accreditation, theywould attend-such a meeting.
City Manager Gatchelwas= directed tocont~ct the Cit~Manager

Council meeting and pass Such a resolution aa No. 13-66 in regard
to a south county vocational-technical-school at Boynton Beach.
5,a. Mr. Jurney said he had rece/ved many telephone calls ,regarding
the recent burglaries in DelrayBeach, and that.in addition to the
fine .winter visitors in the area, there are also many sharp con
opera~ors and thieves.
Mr. Jurney said that t~e Police Department is working very
hard, bu~ it is almost impossible to stop crime before a,crime iS
committed, and that he feels if facilities were set up in the
Police Department where everyone performing and rendering~a service
within the city limits of Delray Beach, and.:~that ~t be.~anda~or~;'.that
all be photographed and.fingerprinted at their expense, it would
have a definite effect on anyone contemplating-a criminal act
and theywould mo~e on to another area.
Mr. Jurney related an experience where he had asked an
employee to be fingerprinted, and it was ~ou~d that the person
had been a habitual criminal.
Mr. Juxney asked that the City Manager. be ~quested to make
a feasibility study of such a pr0~edure, and he was so directed'.

rendered such a' great service to this~4~m~nity. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Saunders and carried unanimous~ly.
Th~ity Manager was dire=ted to wri.~e an appropriate letter
of acknowledgement an~, thanks to Mrs. Knowles for Tn%is additional

vice from the Department of Coastal Engineering, University of

URGING THE ~ALM BEACH COUNTY BOARD
OF EDUCATION TO RECONSIDER ITS
DECISION OF'FEBRUARY 23, 1966,CON-
CERNING THE LOCATION 'OF THE NEW
VOCATIONAL-TEC~iCAL CENTER AND TO
HEED T~ PROF~'SSIONAL ADVICE OF
SAID BOARD'S EMPLOYED EDUCATIONAL
EXPERTS.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Delray
Beach, Florida, has been conscious of the urgent need of
facilities for a vocational-technical school to serve the
rapidly expanding population of the South Palm Beach County
area for many years; and
WHEREAS, in February 1963, an urgent plea.was made
to the Palm Beach County Board of Education to acquaint a
State "plant survey" inspection team of this urgent need; and
~REAS, following numerous conferences concerning
the most logical site for such a plant the City Council of
the City 'of Delray Beach, always conscious of the manner in
which public tax funds are expended, agreed with the State
Department Of Education, that the best possible site would
be a twenty-acre site in Boynton Beach, Florida, which site
could be obtained at no expense to the taxpayers of this
County; and
~REAS, throUgh the diligent efforts of many
citizens in the City of Boy,ton Beach, a deed to said
twenty acres wa~s recently delivered to the Palm Beach County
Board of Education; and
~HEREAS, Robert Fulton, Superintendent, Charles T.
Council, Assistant Superintendent, W. L. McLean, Vocational
Director, and Perkins Marquess, School Planner, have all
previously gone on record urging that the first such center
should be constructed on the aforesaid Boynton Beach tract
since the South County area has practically no vocational
Page 2. RESOLUTION NO. 13-66
facilities~ and
$tHEREAS, on the 23rd day of February 1966, the
said Board of Education, without prior public notice~ and
without placing the item on the Agenda, voted four to one
to locate the first vocational-technical school 'in the
North Palm Beach area rather than in Boynton Beach, and
authorized negotiations for the procurement of a new site;and
~t~EREAS, there are presently 504 vocational class
offerings in the North County area and none in the South
PelmBeach County area; and
~EREAS, $175,000.00 in bond funds was 'used else-
where due to the fact that Carver High School:and Seacrest
High SChool would not need additional vocational facilities
by virtue of the vocational school which was p}anned in the
South Palm Beach County area at that time,_and
~I~EREAS, there is a definite possibility that both
Carver High School and Seacrest High School will lose-
accreditation because the. aforesaid funds have been stricken
unless a vocational school is approved for' the South Palm
Beach County area; and
~IiEREAS, there is also a deadline of August 1, 1966,
to have this school committed and under contract in order to
hold state funds, and not have them re-allocated to another
county, which deadline cannot be met if a North County site
is selected. ~,-
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the Palm Beach County Board of Education
reconsider its decision of February 23, 1966, concerning the
location of the new Vocational-technics1 School and heed the
advice of said Board's employed educational eXPerts. '' '
Page 3. RESOLUTION NO. 13-66
2. That a public hearing be scheduled at the time
of such reconsideration, an~ should the Board sustain its
previous action, that each men. er state his-reason for
favoring a site to be procured at taxpayers' expenSe over a
free site; and how each member proposes to replace the
aforesaid $175,000.00 previously deleted from the budget.
