in the Chair, City Attorney John Ross Adams, City ManagerRobert
J. Holland, and Councilmen Emory J, Barrow, J. LeRoy Croft; J~ck L.
SauDd~rs and George Talbot, Jr., being present.

1964 were unanimously approved on motion bY Mr. Saunders and
conded by Mr. ~roft. .'
3. Mrs.-virginia Meyers, Il4 N. W. 6thStreet, Secretary of the
Community Relations COmmittee, addressed the COuncil~and'commented
as follows= "As~you know, the Com~unityRelations Committee is in-
terested in the improvement of living conditions in those areas of
the City thathave bee~allowed to deteriorate, we do not think
that occasiona~ olea~-uP:drivesare of. any great help, and this
committee would like to in~tiate neighborhoodimprovement projects,
with the help of the Council and volunteer, organizations. As a
first step, we wo~ldselect a neighborhood on the advice of the~City
Manager. we WOuld then try to enlist the support of as many resi-
dents of that, neighborhood as possible. We think thatit would be
most helpful if allresidents knew exactly what is. required of.them
by City ordinances, sows would like to have fliers, printed, contain-
ing the sUbstanCe of'thehealth and sanitation ordinances. We plan
to have these distributedto each resident of the neighborhoodby
volunteers~ We would thenask th~ City Manager to designate a clean-
up dayfor that neighborhood alone. A second notice would then be
delivered with a date for clean-up day and the regular garbage and
trash collection...These dates,would be stamped'for: each neighbor-
hood. The second flier would, also contain suggestions, rather than
ordinances, for improvement and beautification. We have a bid of
$28.00 for 3,000 of'the first circular and:$1~.l$ for 2,00Oi for the
second. There'~iSconSiderable saving in printing enoughforthe
entire project, that~would extend over a couple, of years, Isuppose.
Our first re~ueet;, therefore, te for permiSs~onand $44.15 to print
circulars, which ar~ to be approved by the City Attorney and the City
Manager, for this neighborhood improvement project.' To be successful,
this project must have'official Support. we do not anticipate that
it will cost muCh,'but..itwill require the time. and! attention of some
City employees. For instance, we have found that in somesections,
the residents must put their garbage cane at the curb~ and since most
of them work all day, the ~ans remain at the curb until evening. We
know that the. Sanitation Department works on a tight schedule and an
even tighter budget, so may We'suggest. that the Council refer this
matterto~the CityManager for study, and hope that he will reach a
solution. We wouldalso appreciate a directive to City employees,
giving them permission to cooperate when their assistance is asked,
and we be given the f~rst step of this, and as we feel our way, we
will take the second and third steps, and we hope for pexmanent im-
provement. We feel the results will be worth the City employees,
time and yours, ofcoursel Thank you,"
Mayor Avery said-this proposed project is in-~ine with what
is desired, and'asked wherethe moneywould he,brained from if this
project is Undertake~.'
Finance Director Weber'said the money would have. to come from
the Contingency Account of the General.~Fund and would be' placed in
the Civic Betterment AUcount'No.~17¢~ Mr;~:Weber reported a balance
of $29,940.00 in the Contingency AccoUnt.
It was ~ointed out that most of this project would~ come under
the administration of the City Manager, but the Counc~! would have to
4-27-64
authorize the transfer of money to-take.care of same.
Mrs. Meyers explained that this project was only experimental,
and would be conducted through a-.neighborhood association of. resi-
dents, and it was the .desire. that' Civic groups would cooperate in
this project,
City Manager, Holland~ said this had been discussed with. him
and two blocks had been picked for an experiment on this educational
program, further, that it would probably require some City employees
working one fSaturday;in addition to what. the Community Relations
Committee had requested tonight.
FollOwing discussion, Mr. Talbot moved to approve the recom-
mendations of the Community Relations Committee. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Saunders and carried unanimously.
Mr. Croft then moved to approve the transfer of $44.15 from
the Contingency Acco~lnt of the ~eneral Fund,-to'the Civic Betterment
Fund, as recommended by the Community Relations Committee, the motion
being seconded by Mr. Saunders and unanimously carried.
3. Mrs. Alvina Beiderman, 55½ S. E. 6th~Avenue, addressed the
Council and informed them that she had been a tenant at that location
for more than eleven years and now the building is to be torn down
for a City parking lot, further, that she had talked with City Manager
Holland and he would present her problem to the Council.
City Manager Holland informed the Council that Mrs. Beide~man
resides in a residence located on the property commonly known as the
King property, that the City obtained for.a parking lot, and that she
will be subjected to Considerable expense to move and has asked if
the Council would consider not charging her rent during the. last month
that she lives on said property, which rent amounts to $40.00.
City Manager Holland recommended that the request be granted,
and it was so moved by Mr. Barrow. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Croft and carried unanimously.
Mrs. Beiderman expresse~ her appreciation and thanks to the
Council for their action on her request.
3. captain Oscar Woods of Delray. Shores addressed the Council
and asked that he be granted a franchise for operation of a passenger
carrying boat tO operate out of Delray Beach from the Delray Beach
Yacht Club,to make trips to Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach,
alternating daily during the season. Out of season, the operation
of said boat would be only on week-ends.- Fur~ther, this franchise
would cover a boat carrying more than six passengers, and he would
plan on operating a boat with fifty.~to seventy,five passengers.
Mayor Avery said he felt a motion was in order for the City
Manager and City Attorney to prepare the proper franchise agreement
for Council consideration, it being so moved by Mr. Saunders and
seconded by Mr. Talbot.
During discussion, it was pointed out that Captain Woods would
confer with the City Attorney and City Manager and a franchise agree-
ment will be worked out that is acceptable to both Mr. Woods and the
City, and this franchise agreement would be presented to the Council
at their next regular meeting for consideration. Upon call of roll,
the motion carried unanimously.
3. Mrs. Clarence Plume, representing the League of women Voters
of South Palm Beach County, extended an invitation' to thp, Council and
the public, to a coffee at 9=00 A.M., Thursday, April ~0th, at the
Hidden Valley Country Club, and informed the Council ~hat the candi-
dates for Superintendent of Public Instruction had been asked to be
present to express their views and opinions on certain questions.
Mrs. Plume left some candidate sheets for distribution, which
expressed the feeling of the candidates for Governor and some of the
other state-wide ,candidates.

5. Mayor Avery invited Attorney Neil MacMillan and Attorney John
Moore to the Council table and read a PROCLAMATION proclaiming LAW
DAY U.S.A. to be May first.
Mayor Avery presented said.PROCLAMATION to A~ttorneys MacMillan
and Moore and appointed them as a committee of two,charged with the
responsibility of celebrating LAW DAY in a manner befitting the oc-
casion.
It was made known %hat City Attorney Adams is Secretary of the
South Palm Beach County Bar Association and also chaArman of the LAW
DAy Program for said Association.
5.a. Mr. Saunders informed the Council that it had been brought to
his attention that there are .quite a number of Little League ball
players that'have no place to practice, and asked City Manager Holland
if there was any Cit~ property available for ball practice fields.
Further, that he had been informed there was City property adjacent
to the American Legion Little League Field that had been. used last
year, after same had been mowed.
CityManager Holland informed the Council that he would in-
vestigate this matter.
5.a. Concerning the Paul Knowles Memorial, Mr. Talbot reported that
upon approval of-,funds for sam~the committee had proceeded and ex-
pected to have, this project completed within the next two weeks.
5.a. As chairman of the Beach Erosion Committee, Mr. Talbot reported
that said committee, together with the Council, and City Engineer, had
made a trip to Lantana to inspect what is known as a waffle type re-
vetment that was installed approximately two years ago, and which
seems to be satisfactory. Mr. Talbot informed the Council that it is
the opinion of the committee thatthis type of Beach Erosion Program
plus sand nourishment seem to be the only things:that appear to be
feasible. Further, the committeel had a meeting with Mr. John Grant,
of aconsulting engineering, firm, .who has handled beach erosion in
other areas. Mr.. Talbot said the com~ttee wou~d like to proceed with
interviewing at least~hree or foun mQreengtneers in order to get a
composite idea of what they have to offer, but do not feel it is fair.
to do that unless there is some expression from the council that they
-3- 4-27-64

will be willing t6spend money for an experimental program,if one is
decided upon, and suggested an approximate Cost of from $25,000.00
to $30.000.00 for such an experimental program.
Mayor Avery reminded the~CoUn-cil that when the Capital Improve-
ment Fund was set-up;'beach erosion was one of the specific-items for
which it was set-up.
Finance Director Weber. informed the CoUncil that.there was a
balance in the Capital Improvement Fund of $36,115.20~
Mr. Talbot further informed the Council0that when the committee
has obtained more information, they plan to ask Dr. Per Bruun,of the
Coastal Engineer~s Laboratory at the UniverSity of Florida, Gaines-
rills, also Mr. W. T. Carlson,of the Division of Shores and Beaches
Conservation Department, Tallahassee, Florida, to come to Delray Beach
for a conference on same.
Following discussion, Mayor Avery asked for a motion that the
Council authorize the Beach Erosion Committee to invite State of-
ficials down, to interview the Engineers, and to present a possible
solution to the Council, with the understanding that the Council would
possibly be willing to spend approximately $30,000.00 on an acceptable
proposition, it being so moved by Mr. Barrow. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Croft.
Mayor Avery reminded the Council that the City has a responsi-
bility to the owners of beach property to the north and south of the
public beach, and asked that when said'engineers and state authorities
are being interviewed, the problem of these individual property owners
also be considered in so far as giving them' advice, and asked if this
would be included in the motion. Mr. Barrow and Mr. Croft were agree-
able to said addition to the motion, and upon call of ro11, the motion
carried unanimously.
Mayor Avery commended Mr. Talbot, City Engineer Fleming, and the
Beach Erosion Committee on the work they are doing.
6.a. Concerning consideration of Russell & Axon's recommendation for
reduction of retainage fee on the sewage contract of Barbarossa & Sons,
Inc., City Clerk Worthing read the following letter, dated April 22,
1964:
"SUbject: Barbarossa & Sons, Inc. Sewer Contract -
Reduction of Retainage.
1. Barbarossa & Sons, Inc., Contractor on Sections I, II
and IV, of the Delray Beach sewer Project, has formally
requested that his retained percentage be reduced from 10%
to 5%. He states that, Ouote - 'This retainage is urgently
needed for'us t° continue this Project.'' 'Such a reduction
'may' be made in accordance with Par. G. C,- 7 - a of the
specifications.
2. The above request was originally made on Feb. 24, 1964,
and reiterated on April 20, 1964. At the time of the first
request, your Project Manager advised. Barbarossa that due
to delays in testing lines, and in clean-up, a favorable re-
commendation could not be made.
3. However, in the intervening period from Feb. 24th, testing
of lines has proceeded in an orderly manner, and some progress
has been made in closing the gap in clean-up operations.
4. While I would like to recommend reduction of the retain-
age to 5% in order to assist` Barbarossa in fi~nanCing his job,
I, nevertheless, continue to be disturbed by the number of
failures discovered'under the'Speci'ftcation tests.
-4- 4-27-64
"5. It would appear to me that in order to fully protect
the City's interest, and at the same time_be fair. t~
barossa, that a two step reduction in retainage wou~ '~
indicated.
6. The City now retains approximately $?6,000. under Bar-
barossats Contract. It is recommended that $20,000~'b~'
released at this time. The balance of $56,000. is
sidered to be ample to protect the interests of the ~ty,
until such time as testing and clean-up has progressed
sufficiently to warrant further consideration of th~s
matter."
Mr. Saunders moved that the recommendation of Russe1% & Axon
be approved, the motionbeing seconded by Mr. Talbot.
Mayor Avery asked the City Attorney if this motion w0~ld give
the f~11 authority to have the reduction,and to accomplish ~h~ pur-
pose as recommended. City Attorney Adams said it would be ~a~isfac-
tory.
Upon call of roll, the motion carried unanimously.
6.b. Concerning the revised proposal and plans pertaining to yacht
basin in Blocks 136 and 144, Attorney John Moore addressed the Council
as follows~ "This is a matter which has been pending before the Coun-
cil for more 2~ a year. ~t has been pending, on my behalf, since last
September. ~°uncil, at this time, has a concrete proposal before
it, and before I sa~ anything more, I th.in~ it Would be well to hear
from'any opposition, if there is such here this evening."
Attorney Nell MacMillan, representing Mrs. Nellie Ankeny, who
owns Lot 1, Block 14, S~[~agate "A", objected to the abandonment of the
portion of Casuarina ROad that parallels her property. During lengthy
comments, Attorney MacMillan said there was a twenty-five foot strip
of privately owned property between Casuarina Road and her property,
and she does not desire that the property be built upon, which would
block her view of the yacht basin and Intracoastal Waterway.
Mayor Avery asked if that portion of Casuarina Road, paralleling
the property or,rs. Ankeny, were to be abandoned but deed restricte~
to where it could not be built upon, would th~s ~ccomplish the purpose,
and be satisfactOry'to Mrs'. Ankeny.
Attorney Moore said he felt if said portion of Casuarina Road,
parallel to the proper~y of Mrs. Ankeny,was to be abandoned and deed
restricted as suggested, and there also be a twenty-five foot building
set-back from the north line of the property to be filled, would not
be objectionable to Mr. DeRice.
Following lengthy discussion, Mayor Avery commentedas follows=
"We can take some action tonight, setting up the detail the natural
legislation wii1 come through on. We would like a motion for the
Council to vo~e on. We will grant the fifty feet, we will get the
title to the under-water lands, we will abandon Casuarina Road, but
all of the'land ownedbyMr. DeRice after the abandonment north of
said Lot 1, will be deed restricted for the purpose of building struc-
tures, but parking a~d landscaping will be allowed."
Attorney Adar~.said if the COUncil generally accepted the pro-
posal that has been sUbmitted', subject to final approval of the docu-
ment sUbmitted at t~e' next meeting, this would be satisfactory.
City Attorney Adams asked Attorney Moore if Mr. DeRice would
give the City title insurance to the north and south half of Blocks
136 and 144, for the Cityts protection, and continued= "I have search-
ed it, and about six or seven attorneys hays, but I would like to ha~e
him give us title insurance subject only to. the riparian rights and
the spoil 9asemen~,which we know are there.t!
AttOrney Mo0re ~nfo~med the Council that Mr. DeRice had a deed
to that property, but no title insurance, but that he wOuld pass on to
the City what right, title, and interest he has.
-5- 4-27-64
Following discussion on obtaining h,~l~ insurance to said lands,
Mayor Avery commented as follows: "You need to pass a motion that
you will approve a proposition. FirSt, that the City will receive
all rights and title that Mr. DeRice has to under-water lands north
of the property in question--that includes t~e City's Yacht Basin that
we have now---in exchange for which we will abandon casuarina right-
of-way, Mr. DeRice to reserve for' himself fifty feet north 'of the
Casuarina right-of-way, this is s point ~est from the west border line
of seasage Drive, The portion of properties north of Lot I be
deed restricted that no structures will be built upon it, but it can
be utilized for parking and landscaping, and that the set-back re-
quirements from the north property line of NEW Lot X, Lot X,with this
addition of Casuarina right-of-way and the fifty feet, will be twenty-
five feet. To make a motion approving that, is what we want."
Following discussion, City Attorney Adams i~formed the Council
that for $125.0Othe City could haves $10,000.00 title insurance
policy, which would give a record of all the spoil easements that
exist on the property, further, if Mr. DeRice did not pay for said
insurance, he felt the City should do so.
Attorney Nail MacMillan informed the Council that he felt they
should pay the $125.00 and obtain said insurance on the property.
Following discussion, Mr. Barrow moved as follows: "I would
move that we have Mr. DeRice's proposition drawn up in legal form for
our Attorney to approve, abandoning Casuarina right-of-way, to give
Mr. DeRice the privilege of filling in f.ifty feet north and one
hundred thirty feet west of Col. Balliets property, with a twenty-five
foot ~et-back from the north property line, with title insurance,as
suggested,and the City pay for same." The motion was seconded by Mr.
Talbot,with the understanding that it be reduced to writing and that
a map be attached outlining exactly what is transpiring.
City Attorney Adams explained that there W°uld be a Resolution
containing the exact legal description, and that Mr. DeRice would then
place the deed restrictions, concerning the area to the north of said
Lot 1,and also the twenty-five foot set-back.
It was mentioned that this was subject also to the approval
of Mr. DeRice, and Attorney Moore pointed out that the deed to the
City from Mr. DeRice would also restrict said under-water lands to
public usage.
It was also mentioned that a portion of Casuarina right-of-waY,
just south of Lot 80 Block K, John B. Raid's Village, upon which there
was a title cloud, would be taken care of by Mr. DeRice along with
the other transaction.
Following discussion, and upon call of roll, the motion carried
unanimously.
6.c. Concerning Russell & Axon's analysis and recommendations,rela-
tive to the City's future needs concerning water supply and treatment,
City Clerk Worthing read Russell & Axon's letter of February 17th,
1964, and City Engineer Fleming's proposed analysis and recommendations
of water supply and treatment, dated 'March 18th, 1964. (said letter
of February 17th, and analysis and recommendations of March 18th are
both printed in full in the Council minutes of March 23, 1964).
City Clerk W°rthing also read the following letter and proposed
analysis and recommendations from Kussell & Axon, 'dated April 9th,
1964:
"We submitted a letter-proposal February 17, 1964, to the City
Council of Delray BeaCh for performing the engineering ser-
vices required in the p~eparation of a feasibility report for
the development of additional water treatment facilities. The
writer met with the City Council and explained in some detail
the engineering services which would be provided. We were
requested to meet with the City Engineer and develop a cri-
teria for the study which would meet with the approval of
-6- 4-27-64
3~:9
"the City Engineer and which would incorporate all of the
items proposed in the February 17, 1964 letter. Att~c~ed
is an outline of the proposed study which meets with
re~.irementa. Our fee 'for this study will be as state~':-in
.the letter of February 17.
It is evident that it will be necessary for. the City o~
Delray Beach to provide essentially comPlete trea~n~
facilities within the next three years. It is the
of the engineers that the proposed study will require at
least on~ full year in order to adequately cover all. gl
the points outlined in the criteria. Planning, financi~g
and construct/on will require at least two more years! ~here-
fo=e, it would appear that it would be to the City'~.&dVantage
to under~ake this study aa soon as possible. We are p~pared
to initiate the study upon authorization by the Cit~ ~.ouncil.
It is suggested that in the event the proposal as
in our letter of February 17 and as supplemented in this
letter ia acceptable, that the City authorize the engineers
to proceed immediately subject to execution of a contract
satisfactory to both parties."
During discussion, Mr. Talbot said he felt there were many
inequalities in the water program that effect the taxpayers, and that
these inequalities should be corrected. Mr. Talbot commented on the
water rates, and expressed the opinion'that the rates to the customers
outside the City were too low.. ~u~the~, he did.not plan to go
along with any program without a drastic increase in the water income,
and that this increase should not be from the taxPayers.
Following discussion, MayorAvery asked for & motion authorizirw:
the execution of a contract incorPorating Russell A Axon~s letters of
February 17 and April 9th, gn~ the City Engineer*e recommendations of
March 18th] it being 'so moved by Mr.' Saunders. The motion was second-
ed by Mr. Croft and carried unanimously.
Mayor Avery commented as follows= "For the next order of bus-
iness, Mr. Talbot, it is very necessary to set'the wheels in motion
to incorporate those things. Do you want this done on a.definite
recommendation tonight, or would you like for a committee to be
pointed, w/th ~oU, the City Manager, and the City Attorney, to come back
to us with concrete recommendations, recommending the revision of the
water rates tO outside consumers,and incorporating these other in-
equities that you have mentioned, or do you want to make a motion in
a positive move tonight?"
Mr. Talbot said there should be action taken on remedying the
inequities as soon as possible, but that the f~ret thing was to con-
sider changing the rates for water consumers outside the City.
Mayor Avery suggested that a committee#consisting of Mr. Talbot,
the City Manager, which would include a~y of his personnel, and the
City Attorney, be appointed to bring to the Council positive recom-
mendations to oorrect the inequities. It was so moved by Mr. Croft.
The motion was seconded by Mr. SaunderS and c~rried unanimously.
Mayor Avery commended the CounCil on their action as he felt it
was. a forwa=d step_for the betterment, of Delray Beach.
An appropriation of money for payment of Russell & Axon was
mentioned, and the Council was informed there would be a contract sub-
mitred to them for approval before such action was necessary.
6.d. The Council was informed that there is an immediate need for
additional street sign material and tO provide for its supply, an
appropriation of $1, 640.00 'is requested from the Contingency Account
910-858-800 to ~e Tr&ff~ E~gi~eering Account 910-220-~fl~.~. it being
so moved by Mr. Barrow...The mOtion was seconded by Mr~'-~t and
carried unanim0usly'
'~-7- 4-~?.~4
6.e. Concerning ~lar~ication for origin of funds involved in ac-
quisition of the Cook PropertY tO ~rovl~% additional parking faci-
lities, City Clerk Worthing reported as follows;
"During previous ~ouncil action ~oncerning the exchange
of a City owne~ parcel of land in Block 92 for the Cook
property, namelyLots 24 and 25 in said Block 92, it was
determined that funds necessary to culminate this exchange
should come from the Improvement Trust Fund, but no spec-
ific actionwas officially taken. To proviOe legal action
and to satisfy the City's official audit of expenditures
for the current fiscal year, it is recommended that Council
authorize an appropriation of $27,803.28 from said Improve-
ment Trust Pund, for acquisition of Lots 24 and 25 in Block
92, which amount is based upon the originsl agreement ap-
proving the exchange of the South 60 feet of Lot 17, Block
92, for said Lots 24 and 25 in Block 92."
It was so moved by Mr. Barrow, seconded by Mr- saunders and
unanimously carried.
6.f. Concerning identification of properties not a part of the City,
but which are contiguous to the sewer system installation, City Clerk
Worthing reported as follows;
"Council at its last regular meeting requested that identifi-
ca~'ion 'of properties outside the City Iimits and yet contigu-
ous to the sewer system installation, be prepared.
The City Engineer, Mr- Fleming has prepared an overall plan
showing the City limits as they relate to the sewer system
ae presently installe~, and indicating thereon properties
which are not now a part of the City, but are contiguous to
the system's installation. The msp is rather large and will
be available at Council meeting for inspection, if so
The following properties have been determined to be contiguous;
Section 9-46-43 wedgewood Apartments, being the S250~ of
Lot 6, lying east of McOinley & Gosman
Subdivision, west of the waterway.
Section 2-46-43 (~overnment Lot'4)

S 120~ of Nl160~ of Gov~t Lot 4 AIA
Delray Beach Shores S/D= Lots 60,61-62-63-65-66-68-69,~"
During discussion, Mr. Talbot stated that there is a list of
properties contiguous to the sewer line who have declined to be annexed
to the City,even after an offer of a gratis sewer connection, and move~
that the-CityManagerbe instructed to write to both the County Board
of Health,and the. State Board of Health, advising them that in the
sewer Construction p~ogram of Delray Beech such properties, listing
names of owners, have been given an opportunity to come into the sewer
with 'a free connection.providing they annexed to the City, and that
such offer had been declined by these property owners. Further, that
it be asked if there are ~ny steps the City can legally take,and if
not, is there then anything that the County and state can do to force
the us~ of the sewers in view of the program of the County and State
regarding septic tanks in communities. Themotion was seconded by Mr.
Barrow and carried unanimously.

6.g. Concerning location of a transformer pole to provide electrical
servi~e to lift station No. 8, the following memorandum from' ~Ety
Engip~er Fleming, dated April 22nd, was presented:
'"Subject: Electrical service to Lift Station No. 8
As discussed with you in the field there are three
possib~tities for running the electrical service into
the subject ii~'2~'statio~ 8, which is located on the
small island at the intersection of SE 1st Street an~
Marine Way at the north end of the little City park
the City marina.
I have enclosed a sketch showing three possible locations
forthe transformer pole which will be a large single!or
double pole carrying a bank of transformers. :
LOC~XO~,,A
Efa transformer pole be lacated at the point ma~ked
on the attached sketch it wi~! replace an existin9 pole,
and the cable from this point.to the lift station in the
island may run underground in a conduit~ The ~ost of this
installation is in the vicinity of $10 per lineal foot or
a total of about $2,500.
LOCATION B
If a transformer pole be located at the location marked 'B'
which is at the northwest .corner of this little park area,
the underground conduit will then extend approximately 76
feet to the.lift station-at a cost of $10 per lineal foot
or $760.
LOCATI .ON C
If the transformer pole be placed as~ shown- at location 'c'
or on the small island immediately adjacent to the lift
station then no underground conduit is req~/red~ In ad-
ditio~ it isContemplated .that the street light might be
placed On this pole thereby eliminating two small light
poles and three spans of electric wire servicing the poles.
The disadvantage of course tolooating the transformer bank
at the island is the unsightly appearance, as well as the
overhead cables extending from pole 'A' to the island. This
being somewhat of a showplace for ~he city, it was thought
advisable that the question be given consideration by your-
self and or by the City Council."
Mr. Talbot said, as he understands it, location "B" would be
the best from the standpoint of cost, and also beautification, to which
Mr. Saunders said hewas ini~agreement.
Mr. Talbot then moved that location'"B'~ be used for the elect-
fica1 service to lift station 8, and that the money come from the
allocated sewer fund, them°~ion being seconded byMr. Barrow.
Mr. Croftmentione~'the 'sketch, and.the, location of street
light poles in that.area, and askedif the~woul~ re~ain as they are.
City Engineer ~leming.said ~hestree~light~poles would notbe
removed unlessthe Council:determinedthatthe~ wanted to locate the
large transformer pole on the island, in which case~the street lights
could be attached to it andtwo of thesmaller poles remove~.
Followin~discussion, Cit¥ EngineerFleming said if the :Council
preferred to place~the transformer pole in.location~"E", he would make
inquiry of the Florida.pOwer an~ Light Company about placin~ a simple
,9- 4'27'64
light pole near the island to eliminate the other poles, and this
suggestion was included in the motion and:eeoond by Mr. Talbot and
Mr. Barrow. Upon call of roll;' the motion carried unanimously.

CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THIS CITY, TO
PERMIT HOUSING OF FLORIDA_ ATLANTIC
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN TH~ SINGLE
FAMILY DISTRICTS OF TH~ CITY FROMTHE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS ORDINANCE UN-
TIL JUNE 30, 1965.
City Clerk Worthing informed the Council that a ~ubl~c hearing
on t~s Ordinance be provided at the regular Council meeting,tO be
hel~'6n May 25th,at which time said Ordinance would be considered on
its Second and final reading.
Mr. Talbot suggested that this Ordinance be referred kO the
Plan~ng/Zoning Board for their study and recommendation, an~ City
AttOrney Adams informed the Council that the Code of Ordina"~e~ pro-
vides that a zoning change be referred to said Board.
Mr. Saunders referred to a portion of the ordinance which reads
as follows: "(11) From the effective date hereof until June 30,
1965, it shall be permissible in all single family districts to have
one roomer per family provided said individual is a bona fide re-
gistered student of Florida'Atlantic U~iversity." 'Mr. Saunders said
he did not think the restriction to one roomer was good, as there
were homes that could take three or four students.
Mr. George H. AUstin, 1311 Lake Drive, Delray Beach, informed
the Council that he lived in an R-1AA zone, which he had chosen be-
cause of its 10cation and zoning,.and objected to an ordinance per-
mitting rentals in a residential zone, further,'that after investig-
ation he had found that there would be very few students that would
need housin~ in Delray Beach.
Mr. J. L. Webb, 321 Palm Trail, Delray Beach, i~formed the
Council that he was in favor of the students having proper housing.
City Attorney Adams said that the Ordinance could be reworded
as follows: "(11} From the effective date hereof until June 30,
1965, it shall be permissible in all s~ngle family ~istricts to have
as many as four roomers per family provided said individuals are bona
fide registered students of Florida Atlantic University."
Mr. Barrow then moved that Ordinance No. G-541 be placed on
first reading subject to the Change as made by the City Attorney,
with direction that said Ordinance be referred to the Planning/Zoning
Board and they report back to the Council no later than the date of
the public hearing to be held by the-Council on said Ordinance. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Saunders and carried unanimously.

9.a. City Clerk worthing read the folIowing Plann~ng/Zoning Board
report relative to an additional bridge crossing over the Intracoastal
Waterway=
-13- 4-27-64
'356
,"Re: Letter ~rom County Engineer ~. R.
Frost 'asking ~or assistance to the..
County Commission. in deter~ining~he.
location of an additional bridge: across
the intracoastal canal. This was a
request of the C~tyof Boca Raton to
the County Commission for the addit~onal
fac~lity.
The Planning Board met on April 21, 1964. After discussion,
and, on a motion by Colonel Fabans, seconded by R. Hanna and
unantmom~ly passed, to recommend to the City C~.uncil, that
every effort be expended to have the additional bridge lo-
cated in the vicinity of the C-15 Canal, now being construct-
.ed. This canal will probably be the natural boundary line
between Delray Beach and Boca Raton.
A new bridge in this area would be helpful to the population
growth in both communities! would help to relieve traffic
congestion of the Atlantic Avenue bridge~ would be bene-
ficial to emergency equipment such as fire and police~ would
give access to Federal Highway for Highland Beach, and in
this location, would give access to the Turnpike and points
west with a minimum of right-of-way acquisition. Linde11
Boulevard and Garma~town Road already exist and are con-
tinuous fro~ the Federal Highway to Military Trail.
The Tropic Isle Civic Association has submitted a letter
to this Board with the same recommendations as has been
expressed in the preceeding paragraph. We h~pe the Council
recommend to the County Commission, emphatically, the need
for an additional bridge at this location."
Mayor Avery said it was in order that the recommendations of
the Planning/Zoning Board be approved, and that an emphatic letter
be sent to the County Commission, it being so moved by Mr. Croft.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Ssunders and carried unanimously.
9.b. City Clerk Worthing read the following Planning/Zoning Board
report relative to extending Lake Ida Road westerly to Military Trail:
"The Planning Board unanimously recommends to City Council
that every effort be extended to obtain an access road to
Military Trail on the partially completed Lake Ida Road.
The Board feels that during construction of west Atlantic
Avenue, an additional route to and from the west would be
very necessary.
This Board feels that the County Commission should give
Priority to this project and start action, as a crash pro-
gram to.:~omplete this much needed agcess road."
Following comments by Mr. Talbot and Mayor Avery concerning
this item, the City Clerk read the following letter to Mayor Avery
from County Commissioner George V. Warren, dated April 24th:
"As per our discussion last night, and in answer to a letter
~rom the City of March 26, regarding the extension of Lake
Ida Road (N. W. 4th Street) to Military Trail, please be
advised that we were all thinking together as to the need
for this road opening, on an emergency basis, to carry
traffic during construction of West Atlantic Avenue.

"'Through the cooperation of County Engineer George Frost,
the preparation work necessary to acquire right-of-way
has bee~ started. Copy of his instructions ,are att=d~ed.
This entire project, preparations, acquiring right-o~iway,
bridge design, and road construction has been put o~'~i'crash'
basis, which I am certain, with the other members o~ the
County Commission realizing its.need, will assure construc-
tion of this road at the earliest possible date.
I will be calling on your Boards and Committees for help
in acquiring right-of-way.
Assuring you of my continued cooperation in all mat~rs
pertaining to our area, I am,.."
Mayor Avery said the Council did not nee~ to take any official
action on this item, but that each member of the County CO~mission,
also County Engineer GeorgeFrost, should receive a copy of the
Planning Board recommendations, and be informed that the City is in
agreemen$ with same.
9.c. Concerning setbacks on S. W.·Sth Avenue, City Clerk Worthing
read the following. Planning Board report,dated April 23rd=
"On a motion by J. I~abler, seconded by R. Hanna and
unanimously passed, to recommend to Council that a .
resolution or ordinance be passed requiring Setbacks
on S. W. 8th Avenue, to be th'irty-five feet from the
East property line in the business zoned area, and
fifty feet from the East property l£ne of all other
lots or.parcels of ~and west or'and bordering on S. W.
8th Avenue from West Atlantic Avenue to S. W. lst~Street.
The reason for this recommendation is that, only a twenty-
five foot right-of-way has ever been deeded to the City .
for S. W, 8th Avenue from Atlantic Avenue to S. W.. 1st
Street and ~that was on the Bast side of the center line
of the proposed street. The Board feels that with a
fifty foot dedicated right-of-way for at least two blocks
South of S. W. 1st Street and only twenty-five feet in this
block, it would create a bottleneck leading onto West
Atlantic Avenue."
Mr. Croft moved that the Planning Board recommendations be
approved and the necessary legislation to enforce same be prepared
and presented to council, the motion being seconded by Mr. Barrow
and unanimouslY carried.
10.x. Concerning the hours of selling and serving alcoholic beverages,
City Manager Holland referred to Emergency Ordinance No. G-531, pa~s-.
ed March 9th, 1964,' to be effective through April 30th, 1964, and in-
formed the Council that he had been approached by the people in busi-
ness affected by this ordinance, and ~ was their desire that the
hours set'up in the emergency ordinance be continued as they had
proved very satisfactory.
City Attorney Adams ~nformed the Council that he had prepared
an emergency OrdinanCe extending said hours o~ sale if the Council
wished to consider-same.
During discussiom, it was mentioned that the emergency ordinance
had been passed'aa the.neighboring towns had later closing hours, but
it was thought'their late closing hour setup was only on a six month~~
basis during the.Season.
There was a~ao an expression of 'thought that this should not be
an emerge~y ordin&n~e, and if a permanent change was desired,'it
should come to CounCil a~ a regular ordinance and be on the agenda of
a Council meeting.~ -15- 4-27-64
10.x. Mr. Talbot referred to a committeeto recommend policy on
sewer connections, etc.', thathad.been appointed by. the Council in
June, 1963, said committee consisting .of City ManagerHollandas
Chairman, CityAttorney Adams, City Clerk Worthing, Finance Director
weber, City Engineer Fleming&nd Building Official Hughson. He then
suggested that there beaPPolnted two:Councilmen, a representative
.of Russell & Axon, Consulting Engineers,. and a representativ® of the
County Health Department, to said committee.
By unanimous consent of the Councilmen,' Mayor Avery appointed
as additional members of said Committee, Mx. J...LeRoyCTOft and M~.
Jack L. Saunders as the Councilmen, Mx. Daniel Neff, Project Manager
of Ruses1! & Axon, and a County Health Off,cia1 to be designated by
the CountyHealth Department.
It was pointed out thatduring the absence of City Manager
Holland, the Acting City Managerwould act as Chairman of said Sewer
Policy Committee.
10.x. Mr. Talbot referred to the following letter of April 6th, 1964,
signed by Prank T. Osteen, Jr., Vice Presi~ent of Russell & Axon,
concerning resident inspection of the bridges to be built over C-15
Canal=
"The City of Delray Beach has an engineering contract.W~th
Gilbert W. Clifford & Associates for. engineering services
inconnection with the design and supervision of construc-
tion of two bridges. This contract provides for design
and general supervisiOn only and doesnot include resident
inspection.
Since the execution of this cont=actwith the Ci~y, Mr.
Clifford has become associated with Russell & Axon as a
full time employee~however, i~ was agreed that his f~rm
· .would complete all existing engineering contracts which
included the Delray Beach bridge project.
We believe that Ut would be to the beet interest of .the
City to contract with Russe~l & Axon for the resident ~n-
spection. We, therefore, propose that-the City authorize
RUssell & Axon toprovtde resident inspe~tion under the
supervision of MX. Dan R. Neff,-Project Managed, to be
paid for on a basis of actual payrol~ costs and field
expenses plus 50% for overhead..These are the same terms
on which inspection is now being performed for the. sewage
works project."
City Attorney Adams expl~ined that the City had signed a con-
tract with Gilbert W. Clifford a Associates, providing for thesuper-
vision of this construction, making resident inspection optional.on
the~a=t of the City, and sa~d ~ontract had been.approved by the
Central and South Florida ~lood Control District. He then quoted
from said Con~ract
"SECTION II
RESIDENT SUPERVISION-OF CONSTRUCTION:
Resident supervision o~ construction will be furnished if
'desired and a~thorized by the OWNER. The fee for Resident
Supervision, shall be inaddttion to all other fees here-
under, and shall be paid monthly as such services are in-
curred, at cost, which will be salary cost plus twenty-
five (25)percent thereof for overhead plus reimbursement
for necessary travel and subsistence~expense."
Mayor ~very asked if it would be proper ~o ask the Central
South Florida Flood ControIDiatrict if they require resident inspec-
tion, and asked City Engineer Fleming forhis opinion.
-16- 4-27-64
359
City En~.~eer Fleming-'answe~ed as follows: ,We do ·require
resident inspe~ion. 'It is contemplated that it be furnished by Mr.
Gilbert Clifford,who-has~nowJoined forces~with Russell & Axon, which
is the reason for this letter. The resident inspection hasn't been
'furnished up. to now because'the contract was Just let, b~ I have
"" need fOr an engineer tomorrow. They want'to drive.some t~ piling.
As ko the cost,· it was brought out and has already been ~ted to
the·Flood. Control people that it would be cost plus 25 Percent.
~Ssell & Axon request cost plus 50percent. I would suggest, if the
~9~Dcil is agreeable,.I wou~d like to have the engineering
~"~ussell & AxOn, the ~ost to be worked out. However, .~ei'City is
~Otinvolved in the cost. 'The engineering should b· don~'~'by a sepa-
rate. consulting engineer so that it may be billed to the~!~!ood Con-
~O1 District as engineering. I suggestthat we requestRu~sell
~O~ito'furnish engineering, competent engiheering, w~tho~Daming
~o they' furnish, merely engineering resident inspection.~'
Mr. Avery Said he would'.entertain a motion'that the contract
~o~ resident supervision be assigned to Russell & Axon. ,
· It was pointed out that the Flood Control District'.had agreed
to pay only 25 percent, and City Attorney Adams suggested~that it be
~tipulated that the resident supervision would be at the cost provid-
ed'in the contract'with Gilbert Clifford. The City Attorney con-
tinued as follows: "Another th~ng that Mr. Fleming may have had in
mind by leaving the cost open ~s'whether or not the City would be
entitled to any consideration.due to the fact that Russell & Axon's
Mr. Neff is working'full time f6r the Citydoing resident inspection,
whether or not we should receive some~allowance, because he also may
be doing resident inspection on the bridges. That part should be
taken up with them and some report made."
for resident supervision
Mr. Croft moved to assign the Contract/with Mr. Clifford &
Associates to Russell & Axon, subject to the approval of the Central
and South Florida FlOod con,rd1 District, and without any cost to
the City of Delray Beach. The motion was seconded by Mr. Talbot and
carried unanimously.
10.x; Mr. Talbot inquired about an ordinance controlling the height,
etc. of dredged material on private property, that had'been requested
at the April 13th Council meeting.
City Attorney Adame reported that the City Clerk had contacted
all the owners of property within Delray Beach on whose property said
dredged materials had been ~laaed, and without exception, plans had
been made' to get rid of the fill before the next "season", further,
with such report, felt there was no reason to draft an ordinance con-
cerning same.
FolloWing discussion, Attorney Adams was ~nstructed to draft
such an ordinance when it ~as possible'for him to do so, as it may be
needed in the event the property owners do not carry through on their
plans for gett.ing:rid of the'fill.
10.x. Mr. Talbot said he felt the Council was magnanimous in their
action tonight in granting Mrs. Beiderman her rent for one month in
the amount of $40.00~ however, that had. reminded him of the p~oposed
damages ag&that Mrs. N/ng'concerning the property exchanged with the
City, and 'asked 'what had been done on that item, and when action
would be taken.
Mayor'AVery reminded 'the Council that the last action on this
item was that consUltati~'beheld before court action was started.
CityManager Holland reported.he had held such consultation and
that Mr. Kinkead had asked~for 'time to talk with the Councilmen,.
further, that a letter had been written to Mrs. King.
Mr~ Talbot requested that a report on this item, with recom-
mended action, be Presented at the next council meeting.
· ~7- 4-27-6~

10.x. Mr. Talbot asked When Russell & Axon W~s- going to settle the
matter of rebate of insurance premium to the City, concerning the
errors and omissions insurance coverage the City had paid them for
and did not receive.
City Clerk worthing repo~ted to Council that there had been a
ietter from Russell &Axon asking the Council to set a date anytime
this week or next week to discuss same.
10.x. Mr. Saunders said that he had observed Mrs. Clara McMurrian
in the audience, and asked concerning a report that was to be made to
. Council concerning police protection in the vicinity of a store owned
by Mrs. MoMurrian.
City Manager Holland said he had discussed~ this with Police
. Chief Croft, and they were not able to come up with a solution to
keep said Store ~rom being broken into. Further, it was a misunder-
standing on the part of Mrs. MCM~rrian that she had been promised two
patrolmen on foot in that area after the. first of October, 1963. The
City Manager further reported that the additional patrolman placed in
that section of town makes an extra patrolman for Friday, Saturday
and SundaY, but d~ing .the rest of the week,he replaced other patrol-
men on their' day off.
The former Mrs. McMurrian informed the CoUncil that she is now
Mrs. Green, further, that she would like to obtain a.copy of the min-
utes .of the Council ~eeting at,which she"felt she had been~..promi~ed
additional patrolmen, also that the situation had. not been cleared
up, and she would like something done about, it.
Following discussion, Mayor Avery reminded Mrs..Green that the
City Manager had been absent fzomarecentCouncil meeting when this
item was brought up, and requested tha~ the minutes be examined and a
written report in detail be given at the next Council meetinq as re-
quested.
Police Chief Croft reported'as follows= "I looked up those
Council minUtesand I. cannot find anywhere where the CitY haspromised
anyone two walking policemen. ! would not know how to begin to justi-
fy to you gentlemen the expenditure for two walking policemen' out
there, and that procedure has been antiquated 'for twenty-five years.
The only way two walking policemen would stop her trouble is for one
to be at the back of"the building and one at.the front.' If they are
around the block, it is not going to do a bit of good. I have no
communication with those men. I Just couldn't justify it to you."
Mr. Saundersasked Chief Croft if he had any. solution to the
problem, to ~hich Chief Croft answered= ,Mr. Saunders, about the
only thing I know tha~ we could possibly dO would be to put more pa-
trolmen out there. We have five out there~now, and in'1962 we had
three. There have been two additional policemen added out there, but
not walking policemen."
Mrs. Green said that she would like to receive a copy of the
Council minutes as requested earlier this evening, also a copy of the
written report that had been requested.
