3. Mayor D~ets stated'" that thieve had been a petition presented at
the last ferules meet'~n~ b~ M~s. W.. 'Thomas Fle~uin~ concernin6 the.
Assistant Supervi~ at the 'R~Creation c~nter"and~-~the City Clerk was
asked to read a letter from Ac~ing City Mana6er R~ ~,~ Holland in an-
ewer to said. petition.
"The Honorable Mayor and City Council.
"In accordance with your inst~ucticns~ I wish to submit the follow-
inE 'report relative to' statements made in s letter presented and
read by Mrs. %;. Thomas Flemin6 at the Regula~ CoUncil meeting of
August
"On August 22, 1962, 'I wrote to the Assistant Community Center
Supervisor~ eXPlairnin~ the recommendations of the Recreation
visory Board, who, in accordance with the CoUncil,s desire for
econom~ ~n, all Phases of the cit~s operati~n, agreed that expenses
should be kept to a minimum in the Recreation program;. It was
thel~ feeling that expenditu~es at the CommUnity Center.could be
reduced by ut~liz~n6 the services of M~. Harold Hanson' as Center
Supervisor and allowing h/m the pr~vile~e of hirin~ expert per-
sonnel On a part-time basis, when he deemed it necessary.
"After beaming the let%er Mrs, Flemin~ read at the Council meetinE,
I made a thorough investigation of her statements and the follow-
ir~ facts Were dete~mined;
"1. The Assistant Supervisor, at the present time, has ~ months
mainir~ to .complete her six months probationary period under
Service regulations. I might add that Civil Service is not con-
trolled by any'form of polit~ce. 'In my inves~lgation, I found'tSar
she has done a very. good Job with the Senior Citizens of
Beach but is unable to cope with the teenage ~oup.s which represent
90~ of'the attendance at the Co~enunity Center.
"2. It is not true that the ~eoreation Advisory Board wants only
male supe~visors. ~t the pres'ent time, all the supervisors at
the O'enter are wom6n, with the exception of Mr.. Hanson,
"3. No 'one is ~efused the uae of the Community Center or
ation-in its activities, The statement that a movement is under
way to prohibit use of the .Community Center by adult ~oups is
false. There has been some discussion that possibly a solution
9-10-62
September 10, 1962
"to the problem at the Oenter would be to renovate a building that
is owned by the city, for the use of elderly peopleta activities,
there,b.2 eliminating ~,the bickering and complaints relative .to, noise
and y~uth acti,v:itiea ,which are a source of i~ritation-to, the elder-
ly. g~oups..
"4.A statement was made relative to dogs being alloWed in the building.
The Recreation Department is currently sponsoring a Dog Obedience
Training Progr,am,~ This is normally held on the lawn outside .the
building but& occasionally, during inclement weather, the class has
been, permitted to use the gymnasium.
"5.The Community Center is not being used as a bab2..sitting operation.
The Recreation Advisory Board feels that the Center should be used
in cooperation .and in connection with ~he educational program of
the various achool~ in this city. However, they~ do not feel that
the Center sh, ould be a detriment to the students who should be
home stud2ing or attending a regular curriculum of activities pre-
pared bY the~schocis,, but should instead, be' used bY the students
on their. 'desk,ted "nights out". With this in ~ind, the Board
felt that y06th actiVities might be curtailed, to a certain extent
du~ing the school year.
"6.The s,ta~ement-'th~tl none of the Councilmen or.the members of the
Recreation,Ad,,v~SorY ~oard ,, have been to the. 0enter,'in recent weeks
is false, The observations contained in this report were made at
times when the writer of that statement had no way of knowing
whether~%a.n~ mlembers of the. above mentioned gtc.ups had been, could
have "b~.~' o~,..intended ,to go .~o the Community: Center.
"7.The statement regarding excessive damage caused b~ the attendance
of t~e~}.$j/@rs in. the,,bu, ilding i~; exagger-ated~ ..... When based on the
perc'gn,$~e, of:,,tee~age astendan~7~ .and .the.. ~0tentiai hazard to ,the
buildin~ ~.h;iS; ~.(ea~.¢s~ 'the d~e,l.:~.~,j,;p, ra~tically nil, - .
"8.The statement"that '~he Recreation ldv'isory Board i~ not
is false. This Board was appoin-ted, b~y, the ,Council ;t'~' act'in an
advisory, c~paci,ty to ,.¢A~vestig,at~e; ,~, a~.at programs .and procedures
so that ~hE' C~un~. Oent'eff and.?Jthe~: ~:$C',reAtib~.: faci'li~ies ~ay
be 'u.~ili:zed .to '.~he f~es',~t, e~$ent.. ' .
"9.I found that on two occasions, there have been petitions circulated
by 7ounEs.ters ~ask!,ng,,,that a~ .change be ,made, in the personnel-a~ the

so cordial and nice and that Director Hansen had informed the Mayor
that he' wanted the Senior Citizens and wanted them to have everything

md her group would go and see M~. Hansen, and he believed that ovary-
thing would be taken care of.
3. Mayor Diet~: informed the Council and Public that M~. Senior of
the Florida Power and Light Company guarantees that lightS' will be

6.b. Concerning proposed revision of the lot clea~ing program, City
Manager Holland explained that his plan was to~ set up the city_s.in four
sections, setting up a program whereby each sec~tion would b~ed
separately without a duplication of service and moving from' ~e part
of town to another part of town for individual' lets.
stated that the lost motion involved now ~s tremendous and that it
would take a while t~ get this new program in operation but it would
be beneficial to the city. and would also eliminate duplication of
equip~ent and would speed up ]~oduction and keep the city clean.

Mayor Dietz stated that he felt thmt program would' be a forward
step.,
X. Mayor Diet-. said that he had received a complaint over the week-
end concerning a sewer problem a~. d feels that. a city the si,.e of
Delray Beach should have an emergency service for the weekend when
the City Hall is closed.
X. Mayor Dietz commented on conditions at the Community Center iff
regard, to motors on fa_ns that have frequently burned out, and stated.
that he fait that was not'good Organiz,at!on.. The Mayor further st~t -
ed that he th~,,_~ks a public .maintenance dePartment is needed and
there are enough employees to work that out, and if the City Manager
sets same up it will be a great step forward.
X. -City Manager Holland was commended on the quick action he is
talcing on_ the problems as they arise such as having a tree trimmed

that it was a traffi6 hazard, also concerning certain street improve-
ments and drainage problems.

6.d. M~or.~ Di~etz: "Discussion c oncerning proposed share the cost ~
beach plan. "~
Mr. Worthing: "Gentlemen, this item was placed on the agenda At the
request of Mayor Dietz." "
Mayor Dietz: "There has been much said about a beach plan and what
has been written hasn't always been exactly what the plan suggests..
However, like anything else in a community, before a community can
take certain action, there has to be a certain amount~ of interest
that warrants such action. I see that Miss GalVin is here this
evening. I wonder do you have any information on the poll that the
Beach Taxpayerts League took on the plan as it was submitted~"
Miss Galvin: "I~m~raid I do."
Mr. Warren: "I beg your pardon, Mayor, which plan? The one. that we
hav.e in our hands tonight or the one that you spoke of. six weeks ago."
Miss Galvin: "May I answer that, ~lease Bit. The Beach Taxpayer's
League sent out,a letter on July 18th which was on Mayor Dietz first
plan, but we said in this that we were--the Beach Taxpayerts League
is sending in this: let~.ervthe Mayor's p~n to .,all p~operty .owners

September 10, 1962
"199 answers stating that the people are in agreement with Mayor Diet~z~
plan. in essence, as we said in our letter, and also we put on that
ti wish to suggest that definite geographic limitations be established
for the PRIVILEGE CARD-HOLDERS. t That' was the plan at that time. There
still is a certain plan~for people 'outside the incorporated village
or City of Delray Beach. We~have received 5-'-there's the five
people that do not agree with~us. Thatts perfectly alright. Thatls
what makes a demoCraCy. We also had one of the five say the plan
stinks. I thought we wrote a very nice polite letter in good english,~
but that:a that. NOw, I believe that the.new plan.has been discussed.
There seems to be in reading the newspaper', I would say, a l'ot of
misunderstanding, in.this morningls paper a gentlemen wrO'te and at
the end, he also thinks it stinks, but he said we are in the process
of buying a house with a rental but we are holding off until the
Beach business is settled. If our guests have to pay for the use of
the beach. Now I .believe that statemen~t is in error because ~the
people in the ~town who pay for the identification w~ll receive that
as a credit on their taxes. Is that Understanding correct, gentlemen?"
Mayor Dietz: "On the NONTRANSFERABLE identification, that is correct.
Not for the TRANSFERABLE identification,"
Mr. Avery: "Mr. Mayor. Accordir~ to her ques~ion'that thei~ guests
would have to pay. Is that correct?"
Mayor Dietz: "I presume she would pay for them."
Mr. Avery: "She asked a question.''
Miss Galvin: "No. No,~I think you are wrong on that Al. If a person
has, wetll say either three units or one hundred units, Itm talking
that way because of hotels."
Mayor Dietz: "I see you are talking of motels now."
Miss Galvin: "Motels, hotels, apartments, duplexes. Now when the
owner of that property who pays taxes in the corporate limits of the
City of Delray Beach comes up to the City Hall and gets identification
cards for his renters or his guests ~in his hotel, he gets a tax credit
on his tax bill."
Mayor Dietz: "No. Those are transferable identifications. If an
identifica$ion is used by more than one person, it cannot be used to
reduce ta~es."
Miss Galvin: "That is what I wanted to find out, but that will be a
charge of presumably $1.00."
Mayor Dietz: "~1.00."
Miss Galvin: "Yes. Now we have also made a survey, if I may ~ake the
time, of towns in Illinois, Evanston and Waukeegan. Towns in Long
Island..Oyster Bay you have to be 'a resident of six months before you
can even apply for a tag. That's the way they have clamped down. We
do not do that. ~The other'towns---I believe our main problem here is
that wetve always had a beach. Florida has been God's gift to civil-
ization. I,ve been in Florida for 28 years, 27 in Delray Beach. We
are not used to the fact that the population of Florida is exploding
and there will come a time that the Beach will be of prime importance
and we will have very little Of it. ~n yesterday's paper, I don~t
know how many people read it, the Bowa~d County which has 10 and 1/8
miles of Beach in the County, of County Beach, wants to buy more
beach because they realize how Broward County is growing. Palm Beach
County has made a survey. .A Palm Beach County survey reported each
beachite should be allowed a minimum of ?~ square feet to sit down on.
That will b~e 7~ by 10 feet. Stretbh your arms.out yoU've~almost got
your ten feet that way, and you get bu~ied in 6. feet so 7~ feet in
length is nqt too much. Web,ave, .~taking our volleyball court out,
Just about 5,000 feet of bea~~ We cannot definitely tell you the
width because We have a~-hi~de and iow tide and according to how
we~ve had northeast breezes and. it touched the beach at times, but I
would say conservatively that we ~have always at least 60 feet of depth
of beach for people' to sit On and~Xie on. 60 times 5,000 is 300,000
'$' 9-3.0-62
September 10, 1962
"square feet. Lf you divide that by the 75 square feet that the Palm
Beach. 'C ounty survey recommends, that giv.es you 4,000 people. West
Palm Beach has 55,000 p~ople and no beaCh. Boca Raton .has 450 feet
of B&ach of which they lease 200 feet. Boca Raton is growing. They
are talkir~ about buying beach, I d'on:t know when~ they will, plus the
fact that we have the only beach with one'~m/le of. walk and probably
the best beach, we might 'as well stick out our ches.~s for that, we
know we have. Lake Worth. has r.ocky beach and we have people come down
from there. How much longer are we going to be able to accomodate
our own people? That is one of the reasons why the Beach Taxpayert. s
League is. ~n favor of some plan to keep Delray Beach for the taxpayers
of Delray Beach and the nearby shopping area. I think that'ts the best
way to put it, because there are people that are nearer Delray than
they are to Sh6pPlng areas in their own towns. I .want to go back
one more step...I have been here for 27 years and for 27 years I have
been fighting, camp~igning as an individual, before the Beach Tax-
payerts League was formed in 1948, trying to get the Beach in Del~ay
Beach for Delray Beach. Thank you gentlemen.''
Mt.Avery: "Mr. Mayor, since Miss Galvin read .a statement there, I~ve
heard so many plans Itm so ccnfused I donlt know which way is up on
this thing anymore, but she read a statement by a man who said they
were holding off buying a residence-until he found out whether his
guests would have to. pay to use the~beach. Now on this last plan---
you brought the question up so I need an answer in my mind on this
last ~lan, the last plan I know about. If I have house guests or any
person in town has house, guests, they arrive on Friday evening, Itve
paid mine, it,s reduced from my taxes but I~ve got to. have identific-
ation for my house guests. Does it mean that they have to be a---I
have to run and get .tags for them, identification for them, for my
house, guests, ,to go to the beach, ts~ that right?'"
Mayor Dietz: "Mr. Avery, there is so much confusion that I would like
to explain the plan and then answer your .~uestion, because by answer-
ing a question it gets somewhat confused.
Miss Galvin: "IId like to sit down. Do you gentlemen want .these to
look. over~"
Mayor Dletz': "Thank you very much'. That is a rather adequate express-
ion of those particular people that live East of the Waterway."
Miss .Galvin: "At any time .thatyou want these they will be on file a~t
my office as I am President of the Beach Taxpayerts League. We even
have the envelopes."
Ym. Avery: "I~li take your word for it."
Mayor Dietz.'. "Thank you. Now the beach plan is very simple. I~ts
share the cost. In other words we have a beach and it seems only fair
that those~ using the beach share the cost. The cost of .the beach is
$60,.000.00 a year for this ~.budget year, and it has been less than that
in previous years. This' Plan .is f. ree,.t~the taxpayer as far as 'he and
his immediate family are concerned. The maximum-that anyone in Delray
could .'pay, the ~most that anyone,.~in Del~a2. could pay, would be $3.00.
What they probably.will pay is. $1.OQ ar~i ~f this particul~person
happens to be a taxpayer, then i~.~ill .be zero because he wall.use the
$3.00 ~r the'$1..O0 to reduce his real estate taxes. I.f he is a renter
and doesn't pa~ taxes then of course he cannot reduce his taxes, thus
the maximum charge .would he~.$3~00 f~or the year or $1.00 for the summer
season. ~The hotels and mote'la ~e Standing..a very good share of the
cost of the beach right now. ~hey, .ho~ever~ would get identifications
for their guests and the .case of the - , hoWe'-many guests Mr. Talbot
in your' establishment?"
Mr. TalbOt: "It Will vary from~time to tim~, I expect I would.require
50." - ~,
M~ayor Dietz: "Well, in the case of the Tarot House, ~.if he w~uld have
~0 identifications for the ~winter season t~t w°~ld cost him $50.00.
That could not be aPptiedl~agatnst redUC,ing'~xea, He's al~ead~v na.vin~
petty heavy for the upkeep of the ~beacI~. ~wis~ motels or rental ·
units would pay $1,00 ~e~-~uest identificat~nd these identifications
-6~ ..~ 9-10-62
Septemberl0, 1962
"woul~ be transferable. At, one particular season you.have only three
identifications. ~e $3.00 one.which is annual, the $1'.00 one which
is a guest of a motel or a guest of a family and the $1.00 one for
the season if it is summer, so the colors are very easy to separate.
We do not propose a fosse or anything on the beach. We want it to look
as nice as it looks now. The colors will be such that you can see.-
You won't violate any bodyts rights by asking him who he is or any-
thing else. If he has his identification he is identified. If he
hasn't any identification he will be asked to leave the beach or ex-
plain why he didn't. There has been a lot of talk of the cost. The
cost is free to the taxpayer and his immediate-family. Children under
12 are fee but they must be accompanied by an adult, identified. Just
to the south of us, one of our neighbors has Just passed an ordinance
that probibits children under 10 on their beach unless accompanied,
and we have i~ right on our own beach, children 6, 7 and 8 brought
there and left-the~e all-day long. Thatls not good. Not on an ocean
beach. So that we figure that 12 year olds, they come accompanied by
an adult. Over that an identification is required. Now suppose that
there were a family, a man and a wife and two children over twelve.
The identification would cost $12.00. When he pays his real estate
tax he would include his receipt for $12.00 and so it costs him noth-
lng. If that same farmilyhappened to be a rental family, then of
course they have no taxes that can be reduced and consequently there
would be the charge. When we originally put this plan forth,- I
shouldn,t say we in this ease, Itd better use the I. But each time
it was presented to different orgarnizations, whatever was objection-
able was removed and the plan was finally refined which is the only
way that I know how to do it, to where at the last presentation it was
very favorable. I might say that the minute Delray would adopt this,
if the Counci~ sees fit to do so, Boynton Beach will also. I mention
that only because it shows itts not something that our neighbors are
ccnc-emed against us about. Quite to the contrary, they think it isa
very fine plan. Now we want to be good neighbors and we dontt ~ent
to soak our neighbors either. The, average home in Delray pays in
taxes now, and I hope the press gets this, that,s iD. taxe~, something
they already pay. The average home in Delray pays about ~15.00 in
taxes toward the upkeep of the beach. Now if that is true then we
shouldn,t ask more nor less of our neighbors, so we say, in this plan,
if you live in the County or if you live in Boynton or if you live in
Boca you are still subject to such restnictions as the Council may,
in their wisdom, place on the plan. The fmmily, that pays the $1~.00
like our average family pays here in Del~ay, no more, no less, is then
privileged from the standpoint of.the beach-to purchase identifications
Just as a Delray citizen is able to.purchase them. In that particular
case, however, they are not taxpayers and consequently it would cost
them the $15.00 for the privilege fee plus $3!00 if it was an annual
identification that they wished, or namely~lg..00 for the individual
or $15.00 plus as many identifications as that particular family re-
quired and they would be sharing the cost of the beach, and they would
be sharing At at the same price that our own citizens are pay~A~g. I
have yet to contact someone on the outside.who is in that situation,
that'.hasn,t said that that was very fair. Now as for motels and
hotels and rental units in the county particularly, they have grown
up and come~into~existence due to the Delray Beach. We do not wish
to do anything that would hurt them, consequently, as a privilege fee
to them we ~ay~pay $1~.99 per thousand cf your assessed county val-
uation and ~o~ the-nw~l~be eostributing to the upkeep of the beach
Just as our ,w~hotela ~ motels do in their taxes. This isn,t a
special payment by our local hotels and motels. They already pay that
in their taxes, but. for the hotel~ and motels and rental'units outside
of Delray they woal~pay this' privilege-fee and then' they would be able
to purchase idemtificationa as~ they require them. ~This will'be a
source of income and it will be~a source of control. With ~he fine
beach that we~ve had and the fine beach that it has been, but condi-
tions are changing and Florida is gettin~ more crowded and more crowd-
ed, the upkeep of our beach isbound to increase and if everybody from
the outside uses it,~it is bound to increase at a much greater rate.
This plan is limi.tl~ yes, but it's not discriminatory. It limits
but it,s not disc~imAnatory. This is not a plan:or a device or an
instrumentality to~revent~eithe~ white or negro from using our beach
because unde~ my plan here every negro citizen in~D~lray has exactly
the same right to attend the beach, he paying for his identification,
Just as I myself have or as you people have. We don~t mean, I hope,

in the future, t~ have a double standard, on our beach. Two ~weeks ago
white-women undressed on. our beach. NOw, I wonder what is the effect
on our ~negr0 if they would see white people undressing or~~ the beach
and they were told that thatts not good decomuu. I think that under
the beach program the white and the negro must ben, treated alike. Th~
decorum for one is the decorum.fo~ the' other-'The~e i~ only tl~ee thi~gs
that you can do. You can either 'say that we dontt need a"~eachptan
and do nothing. Thatts one choice. You can go. along with. this:Dian.
That,s a second choice.~ O~ you can go along with some other plan, but
I haventt seen one yet/ and that would be the third "oh~ioe. That is
all that can be done. Now most of the res~$anoe.that I have met:has
come from the merchants.. 'I .Just wonder if the merchants have given
this their thorough thought and have thought about' everything'that
pertains to' them five~years from n°w or ten :yea~s from now or a year
from'now.: If nothing is 'done on our beach 'it will still be a nice
beach, but as restrictions are .put north and aouth~ and~all!pUbltc
beaches in Florida are going to be restricted, then ~ou will find that
a lot of people from the North will come to De~ray~ a. lot~f people
from the South will come to Del~ay, and you dc~'~t know Just how'
crowded or what the situationwill become and it could easily be seen.
I can see it, very plainly, that you might have people using the beach
that will spend even less in Delray with the merchants than the people
now do; I maintain that very few of them spend anything in Del~ay.
Now, this is a matter for the people to decide. The .beach belongs to
the City of Delray Beach. It's the property of the City .of Delray
Beach, notwithstanding a lot.of the folks.law that has come along over
the yea~a, Td~ere is no legal reason .in the World why we cannot have
a shade-the-cost beach plan. None whatsoever. However~ this evening
at the Council meeting the Counselor presented tO us the question of
the legality of referendums, It seems that 25% of the people can
for referendum but according to. the Counselorts memo, .andit is Pro-
bably correct, the Council does not have the authority to ask for a
referendum, However, I feel that the Council does have and I have
asked the City Attorney to write,to the.Attorney General .tomorrow so
that we might get an opinion from as to whether his Council---
this
Council has to act'''if 25% of the citizens hand this Council a
petition for a ~efe~endum, this Council must act on that referendum
according to Cha~ter, consequently, if this. Council represents the '
people then the Council should have the authority to ask for a
ferendum, but that point la not so clear. The Counselor does feel
though that a straw v~te at elec'tion time would be in order because
that is not using any of the funds'because you have the election.
I think, it would be a shame but l~e~haps it might have to be, 'that this
matter might get caught in :the swirl o1" politics and .that maybe ~hat
is best for Del~ay might be lost from the vision of the People. But,
nevertheless:~ we' can have it on the December ballot. I would have
liked to have it o~ a Referendum on October 23rd becauee I felt that
was before ottr .primary elections and campaigning got under~ay. The
program would stand, on it,s own feet, 'on itts own merit, A lad~ called
me this afternoon, A Mrs. Eleanor Slaton, said she works for' one of
the Doctor. S, ll5' S. Swinton Avenue. She had read the morning pap'er
and she wondered if we hadntt given some consideration to people in
her cats-gory,: a widow with two children, whose meahs are limited and
I said~ ~my goodness a dollar wouldn,t be too much~,' and she. said,
~donr~'be ridiculoust. I'said twhat do you mean?.iThat~s what it
would be:for you,' a dollar, because you said you .wanted to use it in
the summer monthst. She said ti would have no complaint whatsoever
on thatt. I think, as the people think about sharing the cost of the
beach and they. will see that it is b~d for one group, to'pay'for all
the maintenance and then everybody North' and ~South come and use it
free. Now I would like to .answer Mr. Arc, yes question specifically.
Mr. Avery, if you ~and your wife wish to use' .the beach the year round, .
you would buy two identi£1cationS~ at $3.00 apiece, that'would be a
total, of $6.00, If you own your own hOme.then y.0u are'paying real
estate taxes, and I know that you do., then that $6.00 would be used
to reduce your real estate taxes so that.:you and your wife woul~: be
using the beach free of charge,. If you had two guests you would have
to buy two gues~ buttons Just as the motels, do. TheyWOuld-be a
dollar apiece. They would be transferable' and they would be us.ed by
your guests for the six months period in 'which they were bought, Just
as the hotels and motels, so that it would cost you $2.00 to have twd
guests from New. York o~ someplaCe uae the beach with you, It would."

Mr. Avery: "What worries me about it, Mr. Mayor, is that a home in
Florida is a magnet. I declare there are people come that I---they
never visited me in 'Greensboro, N. C. like they visit me in Delray
Beach, Florida. Now, I tell you Mm. Mayor, ~I have been---Itll bet
~hat in the past year there have been 100 people .that have dropped by
casually, WOuld be going through, but would be c~'amy to' hit the beach,
so I haventt got tags for them. I brought two. Itfs Friday night.,
the City Hall is closed and I say I~m sor~ry, go on down to Lauderdale
if you want to get in the Ocean because m can't get you in this ocean.
This is what worried me. Thatts the reason I~m so confused."
Mayer Dietz: "That's not correct, Mr. Avery, NO. Let me read, be-
cause youtve made an incorrect statemen~t. There is a provision that
~hen the City Hall is closed on Saturday and Sunday, one of~ the life-
guard stations would be emp~owered to issue. ~i~st identifications so
hhat there would be no problem in which guests~ coming suddenly could
not be taken care of. That was one ~f the points that was ~aised at
the Civic League meeting~ out in the Western sector of town and it is
a par~ of this Ordinance."
Mr. Woodard: "Mr. Mayor, before we get further on in the discussion
of this,having brought up the subject of the advisory opinion Of the
City Attorney, I wonder if we might have the City $1erk read that
adviscry~ opinion so that the audience will know more in detail Just
~hat is involved in that particular opinion."
City Clerk Worthing stated that directed to the Council is the Ad-
visory opinion of the City Attorney J. Ross Adams and read the
fo llowing:
"This opinion is being submitted to you in an attempt to anticipate
certain questions which are likely to arise in connection with the
propos~dc~Beach Restriction Ordinance. My conclusions are not
necessarily final, however, I feel it is advisable to present some
of the problems of submitting Such a question to the vote of the
people of this City.
"As an introduction, I would, lke to cite some general rules as to
the purposes for which elections may be called.
~Municipal elections serve many purposes. Most often they
are employed in the choosing of the municipal governing-
body and other officers; Municipal elections may also be
involved in the approval of a new charter, a change to
another form of government such as from commission to
manager plan, the issuance of bonds, an increase in
municipal indebtedness, the acquis+~tion or establishment
of a major improvement, annexation, consolidation, and
a variety of other purposes provided by law, In this
connection, the requirement or authorization fo~ the
holding of an election must generally be found in som~
constitutional provision, statute, or charter, for there
is no inherent power in municipalities to hold elections$
indeed submission of a question to the voters by a public
agency, in which has been vested power to deal with the ·
question but no authority to refer it to the voters, may
constitute an unlawful delegation of power.'
~unicipal .Law - Charles S. Ryhne - Sec. ? - 1.
"And to quote from McQuillan on Municipal Corporations, Section
1203;
~Where there is no statutory authority for the submission
of a question to the vo~ters, such a submission by a public
authority clothed with power with ~espect to the question
submitted constitutes an unauthorized redelegation of de-
legated power, and the decision of the voters is not con-
trolling or binding. But a contrary rule prevails where
there is statutory authorization~for submission of the
question. ~
"If the Co_uncil should decide to eubmit this proposed~ ordinance to
a referendum of the people of Delray Beach, one obvious disadvant-
age would be that an ordinance so adopted could only be amended or
repealed by another referendum vote. This problem presupposes that
-9- 9-10-62
September lO, 1962
"such a question could be legally submitted to the~people for a
referendum election, which my research to date would indicate
w~uld be illegal since it would constitute an unlawful delegation
cf authority. We have a charter provision relating to referendum
elections, however, in my opinion, it relates to only those elec-
tions resulting fp. oma Petition for Initiative and Referendum,
.and, of course, those elections which are expressly provided for
by the legislature in various legislative bills.
"The alternative to ~a referendum vote is a ~straw voter which,
as you know, has no binding effect. Our City Charter contains
no express provisions granting authority to hold a ~straw vote~
and again I am inclined to advise caution. During the past week
I have discovered an unreported Palm Beach County Circuit Court
case which seems relevanlt. The case was not appealed to the
Supreme Court and, 'hence, was not reported in any law books which
would be available to a practitioner. I happened to investigate
it from a newspaper account that I read earlier~ in the year. In
this case the Court held that the City of Pahokee was without
authority to spend public funds in the conduct of a Istraw voter
ballot election and that such expenditure on the part of the city
would be unlawful. 'The effect of this case, in my opinion, is
not that a ~straw voter is illegal, but unless the city has ex-
press authority to conduct such an election (which Delray Beach
does not) the expenditures of public funds for such an election
would be improper.
"As stated previously, this case does not have the effect of one
which was decided by the Supreme Court, however, six, ce it was de-
cided in this County, Xt is very likely that the Judges in this
circuit would adhere to the ruling.. There are two ways of cir-
. cumventing the effect of the ruling.
"1. The election or vote could be ~ield in conjunction with
a general election in this City and, therefore there would be
no expenditure of public funds for the vote.
"2. A private individual could agree to finance the vote. This
was done in a recent ~est Palm Beach tstraw vote~ election re-
garding the location of the auditorium site.
,After the Council has decided which method it wishes to pursue in
this matter, I will be happy to do more research on the above
problems, however, I have done quite a b~t to date, and 'I am fair-
ly certain that the contents of this letter accurately express the
applicable law."
Mr. Worthing: "Your Honor~ I wonder if at this time you might care
to have two communication read which are directed to the Council and
which I was requested to ?cad at this meeting concerning this issue.
The first is addreS'sed t.o the members of_ the. City Commission, dated
September 10th,qu0te: * ~ee page 23 for'~p-ement to
"As scheme owner and taxpayer of Delray Beach, I wish to go on
record as strongly opposing Mayor Dietzl plan to restrict use
of the public beach by charging a fee for its use. I would also
oppose any council act to put the matter to a referendum vote as
a direct violation of Section 188 of' the City Charter which reads:
'The city council shall not in any manner alienate from the public
the Public Beach Or any parb the.~eof, of the City of Delray Beach,
Florida. ~ Certainly a decision to ask voters to decide on a fee
plan for use of the beach is the first step of an act to talieL
nato from the public the Public .Beach.
"Mayor Dietz~ plan to restrict use 'of the beach would seem~to b'e
based' on two ideas: 1, that the beach is overcrowded, and 2,
that the cost of its upkeep should be born by more people.
"First, as one who~ea to the beach regularly, it is my opinion
that the beach is not overcrowded at any time and only, during a
few weeks during t~'~--height of the season, over the weekends,
could it be construed to be crowded at all.
~10-, 9-10-62

SePtember 10, 1962
"As for point number two, the Mayor continually refers to the $27
portion' of his tax bill that goes to maintain the public beach.
His taxes might be based on an assessed valuation of $50,000 for
his home while mine might be based on a valuation of $15,000~ Thus
the mmyor Would also pay more taxes for schools, although he might
not have children in them, for the maintenance of the libramy,
par ks, ball fields, recreation center, etc. Nhy is it that he
objects only to the cost of maintaining a public beach which.is
the greatest asset a small tourist community can have? Why not
object to the coat of maintaining all the other public facilities
the town offers the public--a public which includes residents who
are not property owners as well as those who are?
"It should be remembered that res.l~ents who do not ~wn property do
pay taxes -- utility taxeS, cigaret taxes, etc., -- as well as -
earning and spending their money in the town. They are entitled
to all the privileges of citizenship that 'those who own property
are, ~ith the exception of voting for~ bond issues which will be
financed by revenues received from property taxes. They are not
second class citizens because they do not happen to own property.
I't would be grossly unfair to the thousands of these citizens to
tax them to use the beach and not tax the homeowners.
"It would also be unfair to think of having a referendum of free-
holders only on this question and not allow these people to vote
on a matter which will directly affect them. This would be like
letting all the Smiths vote to put a tax on all the Browns and not
letting the Browns have anything to say about it.
"Furthermore, if residents who are not freeholders should pay to
use the beach, why should they not also be forced to pay to use
the libramy, the parks, the recreation center? They all cost
money to build and maintain.
"The whole idea of a restriction,'Of this sort is contrary to the
concept of an attractive hospita.%~le resort community which
assume is 'what most of us consider Delray Beach to be. While
other communities encourage, visitor's and adve~tise their facil-
ities/Del~ay Beach will turn anyone away who'has not gone through
the rigamarole of getting his button to use the beach. I feel
that we should encourage the visitor who is staying in Boca Raton,
Boynton, Pompano or Ft. Lauderdale to try our 'beach and get to
know our town. Perhaps next trip he!ll stay .here. That,s what
our whole Chamber of Corm~erce advertising program is trying to do,
is it not? Why do we want to make it difficult for visitors to
use the very beach we are advertising in Holiday magazine? In
Sunday,s Miami Herald, a story about Broward County trying to
acquire more public beach brings out the fact that they encour-
age visitors f-rom mighboring communities to use their beach fac-
ilities. Naturally~ they do, then they shop in their stores and
dine in their restaurants.
"The only kind of restrictions needed here are a continuance of the
high quality of building and zoning that makes' De]ray Beach sub-
stantial and attractive and a civic atmosphere that makes it
distinctive and inviting."
Mr. Worthing then read the following letter to the Honorable Members
of the City Council, dated 8'eptember lOth, from 0atherine E. Btrong.
'PAs a citizen and taxpayer I wish to express my' strong'~opposition
to the Beach Plan Mayor Dietz is proposing, for the following
re as OhS .~
"I believe the plan to be in direct violation of the Cit~ Charter
which you members of the City Council swore to uphold. (See Bec.
188 page 79).
"Many persons to whom I have spoken feel this plan would cause our
city to be known as the ~unfriendly city'.
"For many years I have paid taxes for the maintenance cf various
recreational facilities which I do not personally use. Never have

SePtembes 10, 1962
"I begrudged one dime spent to make our citY more attractive. This
I believe i~ the duty of all good citizens.'
"Should the Council vote to hold a referendum I' feel it only fair
to advise that I shall bring a taxpayers suit to forStall ~this
action.
"I sincerely hope the City Council will vote against holding s
ferendum on the Beach Plan."
Mayor Dietz: "In the first letter, ~I understand we do charge our.
neighbors for the tennis, the shuffleboard, and .the libramy. As far
as alienation is concerned, my plan would not be alienating the beach
of the City of Delray. Beach. To ~l~nate a beach is to 'dispose of
that beach. You can do anything with that beach that you please, You
could even lease that beao'h out if you 'so wished and not alienate it
as long as the ~itle. itselT is not Passed..So that. again~we are going
to find people for this plan. You a~e going to find people not for
the plan, but the plan ought to be considered by the maJ6rity of the
people and .if the majority of the people dontt wish the Plan, goodness
knows Itm not one to try and force it on them. If the majority of the
people feel that they need a plan then they should be entitled to
such a plan. Is there any further discussion before I make a motion?"
Mrs. Helen Voit: "I had hoped to come and not speak this evening but
I feel that perhaps. I-can be a little helps' Itve had some experience
with both petitions, and referendums. I~wonlt try.to"be legal about
it because Itm not an authority on that basis, however, I do feel as
I believe the Mayor feels that whether or not we agree on his plan,
I agree that everyone in Delray Beach sh'ould have an opportunity to
vote and I think that since this question'has been raised we cannot
Just drop it. We cannot Just sweep it under the rug. We cannot Just
not vote on it. Now I would suggest that the only fair way and cer-
tainly cum responsibility and the responsibility of you gentlemen, it
seems to me, would be to see that every voter in Delray Beach and
every taxpayer, in Delray Beach is pr, emitted to and.urged to vote on
this entire thing~ Now~ in order to do .that, as I understaud it, the
best thing would be to have a group such as Miss Galvin's Beach Tax-
payerl~s League start this Referendum and that'would make it p.6rfectly
legal and then you would have it printed three times in the paper, or
whatever it is,. exactly what you are'voting on so~ that everyone would
know and every voter and every taxpayer would vote either absent vote
or in person. I think this is terribly.important. Now, I am not
going to s,a,~ what I .think of the plan but I think everyone must vote.
Thank you.
Bill MoLaughlin: "John, can every tarpayer vote in this town?'"
City .Attorney: '~I think you have to live here a'~yeer in the State'cf
~lorida and six months in the city or c'ounty---city."
Mm. McLaughlin: "That,s right. ~very bax~oayer ~annot vote in this
town. No suc'h proposal as that certainly."
M~s. Voit: "Every qualified taxpayer."
Mr. McLaughlin: "No. There is certainly any number of people in this
town who own pro~.e~ty and pay taxes who don~t belong here as voters.
They lire'up ~No~h~~ (ther~e were comments from the audience)
Miss Galvin: ~The only pse~le that can vote in Delray Beach are
citizens of the' state of Florida. Now when we ~have to have---."
Mm. McLaughlin: "You Just made a mis-statement too."
Miss Galvin: "Alright Sir. 'Will you corree~t me please."
}~. McLaughlin: "You have got to be a qualified voter in the City of
Delray Beach in order to vote here."
Miss Galvin: "You have to be e resident of the State of ~lortda in
order to be a qualified voter to vote in the City of De]may Beach.
Yes Sir."

September t0, 1962
Mr. Mc Laughlin : "No. Now wait. If. semen.one in Tallahassee owned a
piece of property in Delray Beach they would be a Delray Beach Tax-
payer" to which Miss Galvin answered "yes" "0ould ~hey vote in
Delray Beach?"
Miss Galvin: "You have to vote Where your legal residence is, sir."
M~. McLaughlin~ "I Just said Tallahasses."
Miss Galvin: '~Alright, that Dertains all over the United States. If
I am living up North and I have my residence in Del~ay Beach, I have
to get an absentee ballot to vote in Delray Beach. If my residence
is up North in another state or my legal residence is in Tallahassee,
Florida, because nowadays we have transportation, fast transportation,
and people own property in ten states and they cannot vote in ten
states, and they have no. legal~eo,ourse to vote; Am I correct on that
sir~ Alright, so you not only.---there is no such a thing as a citizen
world voter anymore. We travel around-too fast and in order to do it
the law says that you have to be a resident of a State to vote and in
most states, I know in New .York, you have to be a resident of a year
in the State.and I believe six months in the County, and the same
thing hol~ds good- down here, so that nobody, in any town, you .cannot
have 1005 voting of your taxpayers or even your residents in that town.
Itts a physical legal impossibility sir."
Mr. McLaughlin: "Even the opinion, Miss Galvin, of taxpayers in this
town who are not qualified voters should carry no. weight in this
c ommunlty."
Miss ~alvin: "That is the reason I would like a straw vote if we
could legally do it, because then ~verybody could vote. Now is that
what you had in mind?"
Mr. MoLaughlln: "No I haver~t. I haventt expressed my opinion but
it is not what I had in ~fl~udt A straw vote. The. same person could not
vote.."
Miss GalVin$ "A straw vote' is no% legal. It is Just a personal
opinion."
Mr. McLaughlin: "But their names aren't on Bob~s list. They couldn,t
vote here. But they can,t vote. No you c~nnot." '
Mayor Diets: "Address the Council and cease the discussion with the
audience, and give us your point."
Mr. McLaughlin: "I came here Just t~ying to be polite. The point is
it has become economic whether~ I will choose between my friends out
of the city o~ my pocketbook. At ~the moment. I~ve got a little more
money than ~ need, I.~aven~t got any more friends than I need, and
I surely don~t want the Opportunity to vote between my fPiends and my .
pocketbook."
Mayor Dietz: "Then you would vo~e no. You couldntt have an issue in
which all of Delray was 100% behind. Much less could you have an issue
that is as controversial as this and so misunderstood,~ but the fact
is that whatever kind of a ballot you have, the ballot must be legal
and you are privileged to vote in any way you want. I~m not trying
to put on any pressure. IIm t~ying to explain a plan which compet-
itively will keep Del~ay Beach ahead of the other beaches in the
State of Florida that do not take action. And to do so before the
case would get into Pederal Courts.. If you are still of the opinion
that the Federal Courts have no authority then Just take a look at the
recent .apportionment in the ~tate of Florida and you will see that the
Federal Courts do have authority, but your point is well taken,' Mr.
McLaughlin, you can vote against it. That,s ~all you can:~o.''~
Miss Galvin: "You said that children under 12 would hags to. have their
parents or some adult with them."
Mayor Dietz: "Accompanied by an adult with identification."
Miss Galvin: "Yes, Now may I also state that we have and we are

"encouraging Red Cross Swimming Classes each year. -These 'children
who get J~. Red 0ross swimming.~Ce~rtificate~, get'~ red cross that they
can sew on their b~thing suits. They are probably better swimmers
than half the rest of us that go to the beach. I believe that any
childi regardless 'of age, who has qualified for a Red Cross Swimming
Certificate and has that certificate on his or her suit should be
allowed on the beach."
Mayor Dietz: "Well if the people feel that way it is very easy to put
that in, There is no pr6ble~ to-that. Mr. Avery, have you anthing
before I make a motion?"
Mr..Avery: "N~ Sir, I~m too confused."
Mayor Dietz: "I think that"the people of Delray Beach have a right to
express themselves. I am for legal ele~i~s ~nd only legal elections.
Xn my motion I will ask fo~ a referendum of ~freeholders SubjeCt to the
opinion of the State's.Attorney General that this referendum will be
legal. If the Peferendum is illegal, then my meti'on will ask that
this be put on the ballot at the General EleCtion."~
Mr. Warren: '"Have you vacated 2our chair, Mr..Mayor? Have you made
a motion?"
Mayor Dietz: "I haven't made the motion."
City Attorney: "There is one problem there. A freeholder is Just
someone who owm~ an ~ndivided or divided interest in a home and that
could be somebody that is not registered to vote. I say a freeholder
is not necessarily qualified to vote for the same reason that ?~.
McLaughlin Just stated."
Mayor Dletz: "A freeholder who is qualified to vote in Delray Beach
is what I~m~talking about. I will pass the gavel, for' the purpose of
making the m~tion, to Mr~-Woodard, and I move that this Council submit
this beach ordinance or proposal to a referendum of freeholders qual-
ified to Vote in'Delray, subject to a rmling of the States Attorney
Erwin, and if he rules that-we canno~ ~ve a referendum then .it be
placed on the December election ballot as a straw vote. Do I have a

Mr. Talbot: "I second the motion."
Mr. Warren1: "To ~ie motion, Mr. Mayor. Pardon me, -you vacated the

Mayor Dietz: "I gave it to him 'to---"

Mayor Dietz: "That is not-so but I~ll acquiesce anyhow."

Mr. Warren: "To the motion, Mm. Mayor, through this whole thingyou
have determined yourself, it seems, the legality of restricting, the
beach in the City of De]may Beach. Thanks to ou~ City Attorney, and
which most of the-folks know that we were advised of all processes
that have gone before as regards how the beach was deeded to the City,
I should like to make the following statement, in whole, as tomy
reasons for not voting for a referendum ae to restricting use of the'
city beach. First we go to the Charter section 188 as referred to
in the letter, the alienation of the beach. Itls on page 80 of the
City Charter and City Charters are usually not changed without legis-
lative action. This section reads, as was read before. 'The City
Council shall not in any manner alienate from thept~blic the public
beach or any part thereof of the City of Delray Beach, Florida.' Now
this research by our City Attorney who went into all records as to
how the Oity acquired use. of the city beach has revealed these facts.
In 1896 the two then owners off.the ocean front land deeded an area
termed as a ~Cadway described as tfrom the then edge of the property
lying East to the waters edge, in the town $f Linton. I The deed re-
strictions read ,as a roadway for use of the public and the citizens
of Linton~. Later this name Linton was changed to Delray Beach, at
this time was still the area East of the Waterway. The deed also
reads 'whereas all of the lots abutting on the said strip of land
marked Ocean Road were sold by the original owners of said lots with
the express representation that this strip of land marked Ocean Road
would~be left oPen for the public use-and that no one was to ever
acquire any private rights to same except for the use of the public
and for the use and benefit of the Citizens of the town of De]may
Beach.' Twoexchanges of this property occurred in subsequent years.
The deeds executed for the heirs or assignees bear the same open use
provision. In 1938'the heirs deeded this land to the then J,ined
City of Delray Beach. This grant and deed carried the same open use
term. Both would be left open for the public use. We, the Council,
have been advised that there has not been a court case in the State
of Florida to determine the validity of thedeeds as to the part of
leaving the beach open to the public. It has been pointed~out that
if Delray Beach were to successfully defend a court case restrict~ng
use of the beach and charge for it's use, that is if this thing were
to' go to court as has been sUgges.~ed, some taxpayer would.go to court
---restricting Use of the beach and charge for it. Now, this could
occur in all cities along the Gold Coast, and you intimate tonight
that Boynton Beach would Join, which I doubt, could put the.same re-
strictions into effect, which could result inthe County. and State
government having to move in as to the decision and to protect the
rights of those living outside the city limits of these various cities.
This could Occur all up and doWn the County. Therefore~ it is my
opinion that if I, as a City Commissioner, were to even vote for a
referendum proposing restricting use of the area termed ta roadway~
in the deed, so it is a beach, I would be negligent as a city official,
I would be endangering my:city, leaving it open ts restraining law
suits and litigation in the courts by taxpayers. The resulting coUrt
action appeals could drag out over several years and be very oos~ly
to the City, resUlting ~in local and national publicity, deter the
growth of our city, affect it economically, stop many people from
settling in this area~ and I believe the public use of the beach has
been determined. Tha%i~smy state~ent and why I cannot vote for the
r ef er endum."
Mayor Dietz: "Mr. Warren~s statement is his opinion. I now quote
from the legal opini~on that we got from the City Attorney. To
Alienate -- we would not be alienating the beach under my program.
Our City Attorney has told us that."
Mr. Avery: "That is out of context and I think the final conclusion--"
Mayor Dietz: -~"Eold your peace for a minute, M~. loud mouth."
Mr. Woodard: "John will you please let the MaY°r fihish. He has the
floor and then you can comment°"
Mayor Dietz: "You quoted out of a Black,s legal dictionary and it
said that alienate means to pass title. Is that correct?"

City Attorney: "That !s what I was going to do. I was Just going to
read that."
Mayor Diet,.: ,Would you read it for the benefit of the public."
City Attorney: "As faro as Section 188, I~m'not saying that there
aren't some other problems that could come up. The provision in
Section 188 reads ~The City Council shall not in any manner alienate
from the public, the public beach or any part thereof of the City of
Delray Beach'. In an opinion I read to you I said--I w~ote to the
Council, I said, in my opinion, however, this section of the Charter
is inapplicable to a,mestriction of the use of the municipal beach by
virtue of the definition of the word alienate which is as follows, and
quoting from Black's Law Dictiona~y: tAlienate. To convey, to trans-
fer the title of pmoperty. The te~m alienate has a technical legal
meaning. In any t~ansfe~ of real estate short of a conveyance of the
title is not 'an alienation of the estate. No matter what form the sale
may be made unless the title is conveyed to the purchaser the estate
is not alienated. ~"
Mayor Diet~.$ "That refutes the first statement that Nm. Wamren ma,de.
Now, it is true that in the aarly deeding of this piece., it was for
the purpose of a public road. There is a public road there now,. AIA.
De]may does not have to concern itself with the county or the state~
because the State of Florida has no ~ight-of-way on AIA f~om the NC~t~
part of our beach to the South part of our Beach. The State of Flo-
rida has right-of-way from Jacksonville, Florida to the Northern
boundary of the 16th Section and then it has no right-of-way whatso-
ever until you get to the Southern boundary of the 16th Section and
it has right-of-way on to Miami an~ below I presume. So that there
is no question of a roadway. A roadway is there. It is a public
roadway. -'It is being used by the public and until we realize that
the State ha~ no right-of,way that of course gave us ev~ a new
thought that we may be able to. put psmking meters on ou~ own street
because the State does not h~ve a right-of-way on AIA, so that it de-
pends on who you are talking with as to the legality of it, but there
is a l~t of folk law. In addition, A Mm. Byrd, an attorney, when he
was City Attorney. many, many. years ago protected this City with quit
claim deeds, and there is no danger to the City of Delray, not one iota
according to Counsel of any ~eversion therein rights to this beach.
Is that right, Counsellor?"
City AttorneyS "I hate to make unqualified statements."
Mayor Dietz: "Well make it as qualified then. I understood you to say
the other day---"
City Attorney: :!I said if the City would decide to ~estrict the beach,
in my opinion an~ the opinion of Ralph Marci'cano, the ~attorney for the
Florida League of Municipalities, the City would be in no worse posi-
tion as far as the~reversion. Now there is always the danager of
having to defend a test suit or something along those lines."
Mayor Dietz: "You never would have anything to defend i£ you didn,t
do anything. That's for.sure. So that I~ve just 's~wn you enough
there to refute the othem statements and again say that this issue is
no~ whether.Dietz likes or some other specific person doesn't like
the plan. It's a question. Three of us on this platform electioneered,
and we told the people that any im~ortant issues that were to be de-
cided we would offer to the people for their decision. Three of us
at this platform made that statement and I have it on tape recordings.
Now, that is the issue, and that is the only issue because the issu~
of whether you want the beach that way, you don't' want the beach that
way, that's not for us, the Council, to decide. That's for the people
to make their decision, and if the people would vote against this plan
I woul8 just shut right up, and if the people vote for the plan then
they shoul~ have the plan. There is a motion and it has been seconded,
Nm. Chairman."
Mm. Woodard: "Nm.Avery, did you want the .floor?"
M~. Avery: "Nm. Mayor, Acting Mayor, this thing has reached' such a
point of confusion that I move that the motion be tabled until the
September 10, 1962
"City Attorney can go in person to Tallahassee, research'~the full
legality of our elections on this matter, and also to return to this
Council positive legal proof that the beach restriction is legal in
every way anyhow."
Mr. Warren: "I second the motion."
Mr. Talbots "Can we make a motion when therets a---"
Nayor Dietz: "They must call the roll on the motion---"
Mr. Avery: "Move to table."
Mr. Woodard: "Questi~on to the motion."
Mr. Avery: "Motion to table S~ersedes.""
Mr. Woodard: "Call the roll, Mrs. Yates, please."
Mr. Talbot: "What motion is this on~"
Mr. Avery: "I~s a m,tion to table."
Mr. Woodard: "It's a motion to table the Mayorts motion. To clarify
Mr. Avery's motion, he.has moved that the motion on the floor be tabled
until the City Attorney has a change to research---"
Mr. Avery: "In person, in Tallahassee on all angles and to return to
us with the full legality of the..whole bloomin question."
Mr. Woodard: "Mrs. Yates will you call the roll~, please.'~
Mr. Avery: "Yes'",~. Mayor Dietz: "No." Mr. Talbot: "No." Mr, ·
Warren: "yes." Mr. Woodard: "Yes."
Mr. Woodard: "I would like an opportunity to say something in regard
to this. I have ~ly been directly associated with the city for about
nine months, eight or nine months$ and d~ring that period of time,
this particular matter, and I know that Dotty Galvin has said Tot the
past 27 years the matter has been researched extensively,~to this
point, no one has given us any proof one way or another Whether' such
a proposal can be legally accomplished or not. We have good Sound
arguments on both sides but there isa great deal of legal ambigu!~y
we don~t know as to the terminology of alienate, We donft know how
the deeds, nor the resolution accepting the property affects the legal
status of our beach. Now, while I personally donft favor the mayorts
program. I havent~t, '~tve opposed it since last January. No. 1, per-
sonally I feel we need to determine the legal status of the~proposal.
Now if the City Atto~mey comes back and' tells us that,such'a' proposal
is legal and can be Presented to-the people legally,~ and I hope that
this action could be accomplished before our next meeting two Weeks
from today, because I feel that the Mayor~s proposal, t~at if ~a vote
was held it should be held prior to the upcoming election so that the
proposal~could stand on itts own merit. If we can legally do~ that
then I personally would favor a vote· of the electorate of .Delray Beach.
Now, I believe that the discussion on the floor, Juet a short time a~go,
could be most clarified by the term electorate, because we realize
that there are freeholders who are, and who are not, qualified~to
vote. We also~tze that there are people in the area who are not
freeholders who are qualified to vote, and I personally feel that
those who are ~affecte~ by the proposal are the ones that should vote
on the proposal. So if it is legal, then, personally, 'I feel a re-
ferendum of the electorate would be desirable."-
City Attorney: "Can I just make a remark there about that time ·ele-
ment? I~m not being facetious but the Attorney General~s Office,
they don~t have anybody that's omnipotent up there, and I imagine they
are going to have to look into this thing Just a little bit, Y mean
they cantt say yes o~ no or believe me I could have found somebody
around here that could say yes or no if it was that simple, It also
would involve, I guess~ preparing some kind of a proposal to submit to
them and also scheduling an appointment with them. They are pretty
busy, Also I will~trymy best to get there as soon I can, but I ~an~t
September 10, 1962
"guarantee an anSwer.within two weeks to say the least."
Nm. Talbot: "Ross, could ~we put a sort of time schedule on the thing
that would meet with you~ approvalS"
Mr. Avery: "I dontt think itts fair to put a time schedule on it be-
cause this thing is cf such serious natttre that I certainly would want
it researched to the nlth degree, and haste in this case .would.make
waste certainly."
Mr. Warren: "My statements are right, to determine whether it is
legal with the action I~m representing the citizens for. You are not
the final law, in my mind."
Mr. Woodard: "In comment on Helen Voit~s statement there that if for
some reason we took an action that was not legal and if it were con-
tested in court we would be subjecting the city to a great deal of
expense litigation. It's quite a complex problem and we want to make
sure of our actions and we want to make sure that our legislation is
based on legality and not Just on personal desire."
Mr. Avery: "Otherwise you are violating your obligation to uphold
this charter, this thing."
Mr. Talbot: "Mm. Mayor, may I ask Ross, I~m not putting any pressure
on any time element, I~m Just trying to get some ideas to, what in
your opinion would be, a month, two months, three months, six months."
City Attorney: "'I would say that on something this important I would
get to Tallahassee as soon as I feel I have enough to present to them
and that I can get an appointment with them. Of course I canlt guar-
antee how long it will take them."
Mr. Talbot: "No. We realize that. Would i.t be three months?"
City Attorney: '!No it wouldn't, I would say we could certainly ex~
pact an answer within a~ month.
Mr. Ta!bo$~:. "That sounds very reaaonabie I would say."
City Attorney: "I have the full authority of the Council to make this
trip, do I.?"
'
Avez~,~ That doesntt mean the City Manager can go with him, does
it?"
6.e. C~t~y Ole?k Worthi-~g.s.tated that i.t being undeterred that Council
has detar~lne~'.~the'..appOimtme.nt 9f an architect foe the prop°sad West~

~his time ~a~dl]i% ia recommende~ that authorization.~be provided for
execu=lon of~m agreement between the city and the appointed architect
in compliance w-!tli S~eptien 25 of the City Charter.
Hr. Talbot moved that the Mayor be instructed to execute th~ con-
tract as agreed . by Richard Hanna and the City Attorney as presented
to Council. at the. preliminary meeting. The mot.ion was seconded by Mr.
Avery and carried unanimously.
6.f. The City ~!erk stated that through~ a local rm~tor~s office, the
property o.f Mrs~. Harrison, more properily desoribe,$ as L~t~ 10 through
21, Block $9 has been offered to the ci,~ty for.the sum of $15,'000.00,
and that said property,comprises apPmox!ma~ely the sou,th half of the
block immediately north of the c~lty.'s new Water plant buildings. That
the offer is considered reasonable if the city determines land addi-
tional and adjacent to the water plant as being desired. It was fur-
ther stated that there are available funds for such purchase in the
water fund and should Council determine to accept .this offer, .appro-
priation should be authorized from the .unapl~ropriated surplus of the
water fund for t~ansfer to the water oontin6eg~2 fund, from which
fund, at such time as proper plar~.~ can.~b~.~ b~o~t ab,out by the City
Attorney and City' Manager ~for purchase o~..thi~kand ~ould be with-
drawn therefrom for the then determined c~t..
Hr,. Av.ery moved'thalt~the City Manager~-.,~and

purchase of this property for $15,000.00 less the normal procedure of .
title insurance and those things, whatever is legal, and that the funds
be transferred from the Water Fund to the Water Contingency Fund as
described by Mr. Worthing. The motion was seconded by Mr. Woodard
and carried unanimously.
6.g. The City Clerk informed the.Council that there are a few remain-
ing outstanding tax sale certificates on parcels of land lying within
a determined government spoil area and the City Attorney advises that
steps should be taken to provide for transfer of these individually
held certificates to the City of Delray Beach. Further, that author-
ization is requested to provide for such redemption and to further
authorize necessary transfer of funds in the amount of $307.83 from
unappropriated surplus to accomplish the redeeming of said ~ax sale
certificates by the City.
Mr. Avery asked if there was an escrow account that would take
care of part of said cost and was informed by Mr. WOrthing that there
was not. Following other discussion, Mr. Woodard moved that the City
Administration be authorized to redeem the outstanding tax sale certif-
icates as previously described. The motion was seconded by .Mr. Warren
and carried unanimously.
6.h. Concerning complaints on vacant lands in Section 9-46-~3 due to
growth of vegetation on both North and South sides~'of N.E. 8th~Street,
East of the Waterway/ City Manager Holland stated that he had in-
structed Mr. Quinn to put said proPerty on the lot clearing list but
found that the City had annexed this property exempting it from the
lot cleaning reStrictions, therefore the only solut~ion seems to be,
after repeated complaints, that the City obtain authority to tidy up
~he property, not going into s major operation, but to try and "~limin-
ate the nuisance as much as possible.
I~. Avery then moved that the City Manager be authorized to go in
with proper authority, and tidy up the area. The motion was second-
ed by Mr. Woodard and following discussion the motion carried unani-
mou sly.
6.i. It was reported that Mr. Lloyd C. Erny has made provision for
transfer to him of License No. 1528, now held by the Arcade, Tap Room
and that said applicant has been thoroughly investigated and approved
in the usual manner by. the Chief of Police and that ,it is recommended
that transfer be granted. It was moved by M~. Woodard, seconded by
Mr. Avery and~ unanimously carr~led that said request be granted.
6.J It was reported that the following bids have been received on
1350~ of 6" cast iron pipe and 2600~ of 8" cast iron pipe for water
distribution lines and that it is reco~ended that:award be made to
the low qualified bidder, it being so'moved by~Mr~ Avery. The motion
was seconded byMr. Talbot and carried unanimously. ~

X. City Clerk Worthing read the following letter from Mrs. Marion
V. Withington, dated August 28th, 1962.
"While I~m counting my blessings and at the same time remembering
Shelby Harbison~s case. I~m moved to w~ite to you, the Mayor, as
a private citizen to request that the Council deem it wise to
install a traffic~ light at 8th and Swinton to prevent further
unnecessary accidents ~
Mr. Avery moved that the City Manager be directed to institute
the nec,ssary Surveys and traffic count to ascertain if a' traffic'
light is indicated there. The motion was seconded by Mr. Woodard.
Following comments from'Mayor Dletz that the proper trimming of
Seagrapes had been done at that corner after the complaint, had been
received, Mr. Avery again stated his motion'as follows:
Sep.tember 10, 1962
"I move that the City Manager be instructed to institute the neces~-ry
surveys to ascertain whether a traffic light is necessary at the
corner of N. E. 8th Street and Swinton." Upon call of roll, the
motion carried unanimously.
X. City Clerk Worthing read the following letter from the law of=
floes of Notz, Craven & Price, Chicago, Illinois, dated August '2~th:
"I am an officer of Th~ Cottingham Co~poration, which as you no
doubt know, owns considerable commercial real estate in the City
of Delray Beach.
'h2he officers and directors of this oor~°ration wish .to compliment
the members of the City Council for the statesmanlike attitude
they have had in the various recent problems with which theyhave been
faced and which have a very important impact on the merchants and
other taxpayers of the City. I refer particularly to the attempts
to keep the budget of the City within reasonable bounds."
X. The City Clerk read the following letter from the Kiwanis Club
of Delray Beach, dated September ?th:
"We are all aware of- the seriousness of the tsleeping sicknessl
disease, Encephaliti.s~ Fortunately, the East Coast of Florida
has not been affected as seriously as Pinallas. County.
The Kiwanis Club-of Del~a~ Beach urges, the Council to take all
necessary steps to preveDt the disease from attaching itself to
our area, We feel that it is necessary to take preventive
action at once, rather than awaiting it to strike..
fB~ acting now) we .not only protect our citizens, but transfer
avorable pub~ioity to the northern states. This would be vital
and valuable to our tourist economy."
Also the following letter from the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce,
'dated September .'yth:
"A great deal of concern was expressed by the Board of Directors
at its meeting today, over the recent outbreak of Encephalitis
within our state.
"In.view of. p.ossible end,~ngerment of public health and the adverse
effect its publicity would have on our tourist economy, the Board
of Directors. requests that immediate steps be taken to spray for
mosquitoes that carry this dieease and to clean up those areas
in .which they may breed."
Mr. Avery eommentedas follows: .~lr. Mayor, this lot clearing program
is going to have a ~tremenduous--impact on this and we all know and I
think that these lnterested~oitizens should know'that the cityts
mosquito spraying has been' going full tilt as the Mayor well knows
when we investigated the c0~t ~ .this. Also I think it should be
pointed out to them that the forward step on sewers should eliminate
the pollution which is a contributor to this dread disease. And I
think it might be in order to move along this line that .the City
Manager be instructed to, with all his power, speed up this lot clear-
ing program which will help rid us of this mosquito condition. I
think that a directive from the Council is proper, and that these
citizens know that we took this action and I so move."
Mr. Warren seconded the motion and asked wha$ the City..is doing in re-
gard to spraying for mosquitoes.
The City Manager repot.ted that the spraying was discontinued a mqnth
ago b.mt he would like authority to go back~ to spraying after this
lot clearing program had eliminated some 'of.$tl~:problems.
Mr. Talbot said he felt these communications w~e~e more or less a re-
quest to continue the mosquito spraying program.
Mr. Avery said that he would include in his motion that it be in-
vestigated .and reported at the next meeting or,whatever is necessary.
Upon further question, Mr. Avery restated his motion as follows:
"That the City Manager be directed tS proceed with the utmost speed
-2O- 9-10-62

"to clear the lots, to investigate the possibility of spraying and
report back to us at the next meeting."

the United States from the White House relative ~to the observance of
United Nations Day on Wednesday, October 2~, 1962 and stated that it

Commanders of the Sherman-Williams Post No. 188, Milton-Myers Post
No 65 and V. F. W. OtNeal-Priest Post No. 41~1 be appointed as a

"This will confirm the visit of our program man, Gene Lewis, to
your office this week regarding your cityts participation in pro-
gramming with Oivic Television, Inc.
"As he explained to you, your response to this letter will in no
way imply endorsement of our group., but merely show that ~our are
interested in participating, in community affairs in our proposed
programming. We anticipate a favorable reply from you and your
City oommission."
Mr. Warren move8 tha~ the letter be acknowledged with the expression
of Council interest. The motion was seconded by Mr. Avery and carried
