3! ...~:. Robert L. Richwagen, a home owner and businessmaa., in Delray
Be~ asked for a clarification of the City policy on surfbo~ing
in:~lray Beach, and made a plea to the Council that surfboarding
b~.. ~ ~9 mitred in Delray Beach as it is a ver~ good sport and there are
s~..,~y few attractions here for the youth. - '
~'~ing lengthy comments, Mr. Richwagen said there seemed to be more
of a parking problem than a surfboarding problem, further, that he
would like to get · clarification of the area the surfers would be
permitted to use, and suggested that it be a variable area that would
vary with the surf, and a lifeguard be provided for that area for the
protection of the bathers.
Mr. Rlchwagen said it had been questioned whether the ocean was a
matte~ for the Coast Guard instead of the City of Delray Beach.
Ci~¥Manager Holland informed the Council that there had been a
considerable problem Sunday afternoon with the surfers at the South
end of the beach and on the private property at the Seagate Club, also
that there had been a serious traffic and parking problem as a result
of the surfboarders in that area.
Mr. Holland further informed the Council that the surfers had been
informed they were to use areas one hundred feet north of, and one
hundred feet South of the Pavilion.
Mr. Saunders said he had done some surfing and that it could only
be done under certain conditions, and suggested a flexible setup that
would permit the surfers to use different areas at different times as
the wave conditions were satisfactory.
Miss Dorothea Galvin, an officer of the Beach Taxpayers League,
questioned the amount of room per surfboard that would be needed, and
commented on what she had observed on Sunday.
Mr. Talbot suggested that the surfboarders appoint a committee of
their own to work with City Manager Holland and in that way, police
themselves.
Mr. Richwagen offered his help or assistance in any way he could
serve, if a committee was appointed, to try to work out a satisfactory
conclusion of this matter.
Mr. Barrow moved that a commi~tee from: the surfboarders, including
Mr. Richwagen, work with City Manager Holland as suggested by Mr.
Talbot, and recommendations be submitted to Council, the motion being
seconded by Mr. Talbot and unanimously carried.

he did, as follows: "Our Community Chest is unique in that for eleven
con~ecu~ive years ~have gone over the top in a very short campaign,
usually less than two weeks. Not many communities can boast of that
record. This w£11 be the twelfth year and we feel certain that we will
go over the top~ As to distribution of the money, about one half of it
goes to organi~ations furnishing direct help to people in trouble, the
Salvation Army, the local Welfare Community Council, Red Cross and
organizations of that type.~ About one fifth goes'to boys and girls
work such as Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and organizations like that,
and about one fifth goes into medical research such as Heart Associ-'
ation and Damon Run¥on Cancer Fund, while the remaining one tenth goes
to a group of smaller organizations with small needs like the USO and
a fewother organizations. As the growth of our community increases,
the demand on these organizations increases and this year it will re-
quire'~50,000.O0 to meet the needs of the ~wenty agencies involved and
we feel certain that we will be over the top in a few more days. We
are now at 60%."

'~ty in three stages. Final Plat for the'first 'stage, namely

~Ovedby the Planning Board, as evidenced by the =Board
~ecution thereon, subject to the developer providing fo~!Skde-
walk construction on both sides of Poinsettia Boulevard, and on

felt if he was compelled ~o install ~he sidewalks, with the cost of
the land and all the improvements and engineering costs, the~cos= of
the individual lots would be too high. Also, that he did not feel

business area or schools, and asked the Council to waive that provi-
sion.
