COMMISION COMMENTS
Commissioner Perlman reported that he was at the Tourist Development Council
(TDC) meeting earlier today, and there was discussion regarding the $15,000 grant request we
made for the Owl Foundation, Inc. an event know as the Owl Foundation Tennis Challenge (a
Venus and Serena Williams charity event). Although it was not approved for the full amount we
did receive a commitment of $5,000 from the Film Commission. County Commissioner
Aaronson has agreed to make up the difference out of his recreation fund thereby providing
$25,000cash contribution for the Foundation. Commissioner Perlman suggested a letter of
thanks be sent to Commissioner Aaronson.
Mayor Schmidt reported that at the League of Cities meeting earlier today, the
Board did not support the League joining in the lawsuit regarding Citrus Canker, however, they
shall review the lawsuit at their respective cities. They did support additional compensation for
the tree eradication. The League will refer the ordinance on decontamination to the
Environmental Committee, but they suggested decontamination is best handled on a city by city
basis thereby making it easier to enforce then on. a County level.
City Manager, David Harden advised the Commission that the billboard
legislation (HB 1053) would jeopardize the ability of many communities to address the blighting
influences caused by many of the outdoor advertising signs and billboards adjacent to local roads
by making it impossible to remove the signs unless cash is budgeted for payment of just
compensation. A resolution opposing these legislative initiatives will be presented to
Commission at the March 20th meeting.
Commission Schwartz advised Commission that finally staff from the Federal
Aviation Association (Atlanta office) has responded to Congressman Wexler's correspondence
regarding traffic control, noise and Title 14 (violation of altitude) at the Boca Raton Executive
Airport. Staff from Atlanta will be visiting Delray Beach soon pertaining to these complaints
especially Title 14. He felt that finally someone was taking some action and is very optimistic.
Henry Williams, 310 NW 3ra Avenue, also added his concerns will the noise,
flying patterns and violation of altitude with aircraft from the Boca Airport.
There being no further business, Mayor Schmidt adjourned the special meeting at 5:25 p.m.
