RESOLUTION NO. 88-97 (PARKING MANAGEMENT TEAM)
DATE: DECEMBER 5, 1997
At the October 28th workshop, the City Commission was asked to
review the 1992 resolution that created the Parking Management
Team (PMT) and provide direction on whether or not to formally
establish the board as an advisory body. Direction was also
requested on membership, responsibilities, staff support and
various other aspects. It was the consensus of the Commission to
establish the PMT as a formal advisory body, subject to the City
Attorney's review of the dual office holding aspect.
The City Attorney researched this matter and presented her
opinion by memorandum to the City Commission dated November 18,
1997 (copy attached). In summary, the Commission may create the
Parking Management Team as an official board of the City. If the
Commission keeps the duties of the board as strictly advisory,
the members of the Parking Management Team would not be holding
"office" and the appointment of a CRA, DDA or P&Z member would
not present a dual office holding violation of the Florida
Constitution.
Resolution No. 88-97 establishing the Parking Management Team as
a formal advisory board is before the Commission for
consideration. The board will be composed of seven (7) members
and will function in a manner similar to the other boards of the
City.
If the resolution is acceptable to the City Commission as
drafted, I recommend that it be approved. If changes are
desired, direction should be provided. Once finalized, staff
will begin the process to secure applications for consideration
and formal appointment by the Commission.

Ali. America City MEMORANDUM
~Jll"~''''' D^TE: NovemberlS, 1997
~ v~-~ TO: City Commission
FROM: Susan A. Ruby, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Parking Management Te~L~ - Proposed Membership - Dual Office
Holding
The City Commission was advised by the Parking Management Team that they wished to
become an official City Board. The proposed Parking Management Team Board
(PMTB) includes a CRA, DDA, and P&Z member. Our office researched the
constitutionality of including a CRA, DDA and P&Z member.
The Florida Constitution, Article II, Section V(a), prohibits the holding of more than one
"office". An "office" is a position which exercises a portion of the sovereign power.
State ex rel. Holloway v. Sheats, 83 So.2d 508 (Fla. 1919); AGO 9045. It is the nature
of the powers and duties permitted to be exercised as a board which determines whether
a member is holding an "office." Serving on a board that is an advisory body only
would not constitute the holding of an "office." For example, the Attorney General has
opined that a member of a planning and zoning board, having only advisory powers, was
not holding an office for constitutional purposes (AGO-86-185).
However, the Attorney General's Office has opined that a county planning and zoning
board member sitting on a planning board that made some final decisions appealable to
the County Commission was holding an "office." AGO 90-33. Therefore, the City's
P&Z members having similar powers to those referred to in AGO 90-33 would be
holding "office. '
Therefore, if the City Commission delegates powers to the PMTB which constitute a
grant of f'mal authority appealable to the City Commission, or appealable to circuit
court, the PMTB Board members would be deemed to be holding office, and a P&Z
board member would be prohibited from holding both offices unless the "allied duties"
exception referred to below was applicable. If, however, the PMTB duties were
City Commission
November 18, 1997
Page 2
advisory only, then there would not be a dual office holding prohibition with or without
applying the "allied duties" exception. The "allied duties" exception allows membership
on two boards where the duties of both boards are closely and def'mitively allied. In
such cases, the newly assigned duties are viewed merely as an addition to existing
responsibilities and are not violative of the dual office holding prohibition. See, City. of
Rivera Beach v. Palm Beach Coun_ty Solid Waste Authority_, 502 So.2d (Fla. 4DCA
1987); State v, Florida State Turnpike Authority., 80 So.2d 337 (Fla. 1955). It is my
recommendation that if the Commission decides to give the PMTB more than advisory
powers and decides to give PMTB responsibility to exercise a portion of the City's
sovereign power, that an Attorney General Opinion be obtained. The purpose of
obtaining the Attorney General Opinion would be to determine if the duties of the PMTB
are definitively allied with existing P&Z functions and thus, would not violate the dual
office holding prohibition, and to determine if there would be a conflict of interest. In
the alternative, the City may want to make the PMTB an official City board with
advisory powers only so as to circumvent any potential claim of dual office holding.
Turning now to the CRA member issues, Florida Statutes §163.367 prohibits CRA board
.members from holding another office. Thus, if the PMTB were given more than
advisory powers (constituting an office) the CRA member could not serve on the board.
It is my opinion that the "allied duties" exception set forth above would not apply to the
CRA member. The exception appears to have been negated for CRA members by
statute. Therefore, only if the PMTB duties are solely advisory would it not constitute
an office, and under the statute, the CRA member could serve on the PMTB.
Contrarily, if the PMTB duties are more than advisory, the CRA member could not
serve on the board.
The DDA membership on the PMTB is governed by Special Act. The Special Act,
Section 4, provides, "It [the DDA] is hereby constituted a body corporate and an agency
of the City; and performance by the authority of its duties and exercise of its powers are
hereby designated municipal functions and shall be so construed." Further-in Section 4,
subsection (c) of the Act, the Act provides that to qualify or remain qualified for
membership on the DDA, a prospective or current member "... shall not [serve] as a city
. officer or employee."
The Supreme Court has stated that a special district created to perform a special
governmental function would not constitute an "off.ice" and thus there would be no dual
office holding prohibition. In re: Advisory_ Opinion to the Governor - Dual Office
Holding, 630 So.2d 1055 (Fla. 1994). However, in this case, the special act governing
the DDA would appear to provide otherwise prohibiting a DDA member serving as a
City officer. If, however, the PMTB is given advisory powers only, the DDA member
could serve on the PMTB without being considered a City officer.

November 18, 1997

In summary, the Commission may create the PMTB as an official board of the City. If
the Commission keeps the duties of the board as strictly advisory, the members of the
PMTB would not be holding "office" and the appointment of a CRA, DDA or P&Z
member would not present a dual office holding violation of the Florida Constitution.

MEMORANDUM
TO: David T. Harden
City Manager
FROM: ~Robert A. Barcinski
Assistant City Manager
DATE: October 21, 1997
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM - CITY COMMISSION WORKSHOP - OCTOBER
28~ 1997 PARKING MANAGEMENT TEAM
Direction
City Commission is requested to review the 1992 resolution that established the Parking
Management Team and provide direction on the following:
· Status of Task Team
· Membership
· Responsibilities and duties
· Staff support
Background
The Parking Management Team was established by City Commission in 1992 by
resolution to advise City Commission on the planning, development, construction, and
operation of parking and to make recommendations on and implement provisions of
the 1991 Master Parking Plan. The PMT was not set up as an official advisory board to
City Commission.
Membership consists of ten (10) members with representation narrowly defined. A
copy of the PMT board membership is attached. Members were nominated by the CRA
and appointed by City Commission.
Staff support was loosely defined with initial support provided by the CRA with the
understanding that a permanent program for the administrative aspects of the PMT
would be provided at a later date. Staff assistance has been provided by the CRA with
assistance from our Planning and Police Departments. The PMT does not meet on a
regular basis, nor are the terms of appointees established.
I have met and discussed issues concerning the PMT with Janet Ormen, Chris Brown,
and Diane Dominguez. We all felt that it was time to review provisions of the
establishing resolution with City Commission and seek direction on various items. The
Parking Management Team reviewed staff recommendations and voted to present these
to City Commission for consideration. They indicated that these changes would be
beneficial until such time that a parking authority may be established.
Direction Issues/Recommendations
Should the PMT continue as a task team or be reestablished as a formal advisory board
to City Commission with terms and limits like other boards i.e. maximum two (2) two
year terms with monthly meetings.
Should the PMT consist of ten (10) members with narrowly defined representation?
· We recommend a seven (7) member board with representation as follows.
~/~ (1) One member CRA
(2) One member DDA
(3) One member Planning and Zoning Board
(4) One member from the OSSHAD District
(5) One business owner - west of Swinton Avenue
(6) One business owner - between Swinton and Intracoastal
(7) One business owner - east of Intracoastal
The CRA, DDA and P & Z Boards should recommend appointees; other membership
should be selected the City Commission from a list of applicants. Terms would be
staggered.
· What should be the responsibilities of this board?
We recommend that responsibilities continue as outlined in the original
~ resolution.
· Should the area within which the PMT operates be defined?
We feel this area should be defined and would recommend boundaries if City
Commission should direct this option. CRA is proposing boundaries that would
include all of the CRA district, plus the area along A-1-A from N.E. 8th Street to
Casurina. We recommend that proposed boundari~oincide with those
of the Transportation Concurrency Exception Ar~ (TCEA~nap attached), as
well as the area along A-1-A within the CBD. Tlus~wo-ffi-d include the entire
CBD, as well as the West Atlantic Redevelopment Area and the beach business
areas, which are the locations that are generating most of the parking issues.
· Who should provide staff support for the PMT?
We feel C,~ity staff as assigned by the City Manager should provide the
administrative staff~support with assistance provided by CRA staff. City staff
support should also be provided to implement recommendations approved by
City Commission.

PART THREE: MASTER PARKING PROGRAM
This Master Parking Program refers to the previous options analysis and
offers improvements and policy recommendations based on PSC consensus
and conclusions from other reports to meet existing and future parking needs.
I. PARKING MANAGEMENT TEAM
There are numerous parking options and regulation modifications, as
well as a lack of singular focus in parking in Delray Beach. Therefore, the PSC
recommends that the City Commission create a Parking Management Team
(PMT) to provide leadership on parking decisions in the City. The PMT should
be charged with the planning, development, construction and operation of
parking in the Study Area.
The PMT is in many respects a formal version of the existing PSC. It
should be comprised of 9 members: a representative from the CRA, the DDA,
the City Commission, the Chamber of Commerce (Atlantic 'Avenue Association),
the Planning & Zoning Board; and a member-at-large representing from the
Downtown, Beach, West Atlantic and Expanded CBD Areas. The members
should be appointed by the City Commission and serve a term limit of
approximately 2 years.
This quasi - public/private advisory board could become an independent
Parking Authority in the future.
The CRA could be under contract as the lead agency in providing staff
support and agenda setting to the PMT. It is the best choice of existing
agencies because it is somewhat removed from city politics; it covers the entire
Study Area; and it already takes a lead role in redevelopment projects, which
warrant most new parking facilities. The CRA staff would also coordinate with
City staff on parking issues. See Exhibit 9.
