-6-
12/02/03
and revisions to Section 9 & Section 14 of the agreement. Subsequently, there has been some
dialogue between the City and restaurateurs concerning revisions to Section 9 and Section 14 of
the agreement regarding some of the changes pertaining to the accountability for the traffic laws,
etc. Mr. Aronson stated staff would like to extend the contract for sixty (60) days and come back
with new recommendations.
Mr. Costin suggested a lesser fee increase.
Mrs. Archer suggested that the rate be increased $10.00 this year and $10.00 next
year so that there would be less of an impact particularly for the restaurants and tourists. Mrs.
Archer stated she would be in favor of a tiered increase over a two year period.
Mr. Levinson moved to approve to continue the current agreement extending it
for sixty (60) days and send it back to the Parking Management Board for a comprehensive
review, seconded by Mr. Costin.

queues and stated she concurs with comments expressed by the Commission and strongly
supports the motion without changing any fees until they make the determination as to what the
increase will actually be. Ms. McCarthy stated she feels this is a service to people who come to
Delray and spend their money at businesses.
Mayor Perlman stated he received an email from one of the license holders today
who suggested if fees were to be increased that it be passed along to the consumer. Scott
Aronson, Parking Management Specialist stated there is no mechanism in place that prevents the
valet queues from charging whatever rates they charge. Mayor Perlman suggested having an
annual review of the parking license agreements.
Ms. McCarthy stated she would like this to go back to the Parking Management
Board and asked if it is possible that if someone valets parks with a restaurant that they may not
be using that particular restaurant or business but using the service in order to use businesses
along the Avenue? Mr. Aronson stated the entire valet queues are open to the general public and
cannot use the valet queues exclusively for the license holder.
Mr. Levinson restated his motion as follows:
Mr. Levinson moved to approve to not make any changes to the current
agreement however extend it for sixty (60) days and ask the Parking Management Advisory
Board to review the rate as well as Section 9 & Section 14 and report back to the City
Commission with a recommendation, seconded by Mr. Costin. Upon roll call the Commission
voted as follows: Mr. Levinson - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Perlman - Yes; Mr. Costin

on the west side of Ocean Boulevard North of Atlantic Avenue.
At its meeting of November 17, 2003, the Planning and Zoning Board held a
public hearing in conjunction with the request. There was public testimony both in support of
and in opposition of the request. Most of the support from the Beach Property Owners' related
to the density and they felt it was appropriate. The Vista Del Mar residents felt that 5-6 units per
acre would be reasonable. After reviewing the staff report and discussing the proposal, the
Board voted 6-0 (Kenneth Peltzie absent) to recommend approval of the rezoning request from
R-l-AA to RM-8 based on positive findings with respect to Chapter 3, LDR Section 3.2.2
-9-
12/02/03
(Standards for Rezoning Actions), and LDR Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings), and the
Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, based on a finding that the proposed

by Ms. McCarthy. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mr. Costin - Yes; Mrs.
Archer - Yes; Mr. Levinson - Yes; Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mayor Perlman - Yes. Said motion
passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
At this point, the Commission moved to Item ll.B. Comments and Inquiries on
Non-Agenda Items from the Public.
ll.B.1. Jayne Kin~ 3400 Place Valencay~ Delray Beach~ (President of Progressive
Residents of Delrav)~ announced that PROD will be celebrating its 20th Anniversary in October.
Mrs. King stated in the spirit of Spencer Pompey, PROD has been standing on the side of what is
right for the residents of the city. Mrs. King stated PROD has advocated lower building heights,
lower density, historic preservation, maintaining the Village-By-The-Sea atmosphere, more
black representation, and the Delray Beach Cultural Loop which the Commission supports as
well. On behalf of PROD, Mrs. King asked for an apology for insulting statements that were
publicly made about a progressive organization of residents at the October 18, 2003 City
Commission meeting, both in writing within 48 hours and at this City Commission meeting.
Mayor Perlman stated the Cultural Loop was very enjoyable and he and
Commissioner Costin had the opportunity to ride the trolley with Mrs. Pompey and commented
he learned a tremendous amount of history.
ll.B.2. Jean Beer~ 2145 S.W. 26th Terrace~ Delray Beach~ stated she has spent over
twenty years with everything from visioning to the Comprehensive Plan to the Boards trying to
make this a better city. Mrs. Beer stated not any member of this Commission has been active in
PROD nor has any member been active in the President's Council. Mrs. Beer stated another
Commission started the neighborhood associations by hiring a neighborhood specialist and this
idea came from members of the President's Council who were concerned about the quality of the
neighborhoods. With regard to organizations, Mrs. Beer suggested the Commission educate
themselves as to the organizations purpose, what these organizations have achieved, and why.
ll.B.3. Jim Smith~ 1225 S. Ocean Boulevard~ Delray Beach~ strongly supports building
a parking facility at Old School Square and urged every Delray Beach resident to vote "Yes" on
the upcoming Bond Issue. In addition, Mr. Smith encouraged the Commission to immediately
install parking meters downtown west of the Intracoastal. Mr. Smith stated he feels this will
bring in several thousands of dollars in revenue each year for the city and will level the playing
field for businesses east of the Intracoastal to help alleviate the parking shortage until the new
parking facility is able to open its doors. Mr. Smith suggested that the new parking facility not
just be a standard parking garage but instead that it be designed as an inter-modal transportation
facility and he volunteered to help the Commission achieve this objective. Mr. Smith stated he
feels the City of Delray Beach is fortunate to have one of the world's foremost inter-modal
-10-
12/02/03
experts working nearby at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and asked for the opportunity to
convince him and his students to design a world-class inter-modal facility here in Delray Beach.
Mayor Perlman stated he spoke with Senator Ron Klein yesterday and talked
about the possibility of using the FEC railway as a passenger transportation system. Mayor
Perlman stated the cost would be $800,000,000 for the right to use the tracks.
ll.B.4. Terrence Rothman (homeless)~ stated meetings between government and
organizations should facilitate addressing issues of a delicate and complicated nature
constructively and routinely. Mr. Rothman feels the freedom of religion means more than just
attending church, but rather it implies whether Police and local government can appoint
themselves rulers over which religious beliefs are acceptable. Mr. Rothman stated this has been
violated and he feels it is a serious infringement upon his liberty. Mr. Rothman stated the
independence of church and the constitutional rights of citizens are being jeopardized by
repeated Police action and requested the support of the City Commission in this matter.
At this point, the time being 7:00 p.m., the Commission moved to the duly
advertised Public Hearings portion of the agenda.

10.C.
CONTRACT FOR SALE AND PURCHASE OF PROPERTY/MONTEREY
HOUSE: Consider approval of contract to sell City owned property, the Monterey House and
certain Block 60 parking condominium spaces and Contract for Sale and Purchase between the
City and the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) in the amount of $700,000.00.
Mayor Perlman declared a conflict of interest and passed the gavel to Vice Mayor
Levinson.
The City Attorney stated the CRA Board made some amendments to the original
contract and those amendments are contained in the supplemental materials provided this
evening to the Commission. The City Attorney stated the change was some additional
responsibility on part of the City of Delray Beach to pay for damages that may occur because of
termite damages up to 2% and other repairs up to 3%. IN addition, the City Attorney stated there
is also a request that the City of Delray Beach pay all or a part of $55,000 for the purpose of
renovating the interior of the bungalow located on the Cason Cottage site. The City Attorney
stated the terms of the contract are fairly standard. The City Attorney explained the Commission
would have to decide to either accept the amended contract or the original contract or a
combination thereof. Also, as a separate matter, the City Attorney stated the Commission would
have to address the $55,000 request for participation.
Diane Colonna, Executive Director of the CRA, stated with regard to the repair,
the CRA Board expressed concern about the exterior of the building and there appears to be
some damage or rotting. With regard to the interior renovations, the CRA Board felt this
property is owned by the City of Delray Beach and the CRA recently awarded a $50,000 grant to
improve the exterior of that building and now $55,000 is needed to improve the interior. Ms.
Colonna stated the CRA Board thought with the proceeds from the sale the City of Delray Beach
may want to participate in some of the costs.
-13-
12/02/03
The City Manager stated he would be more comfortable with a provision that this
be inspected and determine what repairs, if any, are necessary. The City Manager continued to
state under the lease there are some funds which have been accumulated for maintenance of the
property which may or may not be sufficient to take care of this. Furthermore, the City Manager
stated he does feel better about taking care of any problems of that nature versus helping with the
moving expense. The City Manager stated the timing of the move is primarily for the benefit of
the CRA. Secondly, the City Manager stated although the City of Delray Beach will own the
building adjacent to the Cason Cottage he does not foresee that the City will ever have the
beneficial use of the building whereas the Monterey House will eventually resolve and it will
come to the City. The City Manager recommends doing the repairs and not the moving costs.
Vice Mayor Levinson stated with regard to Section N (Inspection, Repair and
Maintenance) on the amendment to the agreement there is the provision for the inspection period
and a traditional real estate setting a walk-through for the buyer. The current agreement as
proposed by the CRA would allow them to extract themselves from the arrangement if they
found the costs associated with the repairs and maintenance to be excessive. Vice Mayor
Levinson stated it would also allow the CRA to come back to the City of Delray Beach and
negotiate.
The City Attorney stated this would also pertain to Section D (Termites) as well.
Ms. McCarthy stated she is under the impression that the contract price is the
appraised price as well and believes the Commission received more of a residential contract
versus a commercial contract. Ms. McCarthy stated the 2-3% is normal for residential and is not
necessarily normal for commercial transactions of this nature. Ms. McCarthy supports an "as is"
contract with their ten (10) day right to inspection which was the first contract the Commission
received and she would not be supportive of the 2-3% as in residential.
Mrs. Archer concurred with comments expressed by Commissioner McCarthy.
Vice Mayor Levinson declared the public hearing open. There being no one who
wished to address the Commission regarding the contract for sale and purchase for the Monterey
House, the public hearing was closed.
With regard to the $55,000 interior renovation costs, Mr. Costin asked Ms.
Colonna if this will complete the renovations to the Bungalow. In response, Ms. Colonna stated
this was reviewed by an architect and a contractor and this is the estimate they came up with.
Vice Mayor Levinson asked Ms. Colonna if she is aware of what the Historical Society has
committed to the project.
Brief discussion between Ms. Colonna and the Commission followed.
The City Manager stated the Historical Society anticipated raising this money
over a period of a year or two but the CRA needs to move sooner than that. Ms. Colonna stated
the Historical Society has put money into the structure because the original facade agreement
-14-
12/02/03
only covered exterior and there were other expenses incurred. Ms. Colonna stated the Historical
Society has exceeded those expenses and have put some of their own money into it. Ms.
Colonna stated the CRA has already agreed to the additional $55,000.
Vice Mayor Levinson asked the City Manager if there are any funds remaining in
the grants category. In response, the City Manager stated there may potentially be some funds
available.
Mrs. Archer stated if there is money leftover in the grants fund that the City could
contribute, she would be in favor of doing so. However, Mrs. Archer stated she does not wish to
participate in this particular instance in much more than this.
Ms. McCarthy stated if there is grant funding for community associations and for
the citizens she would not support taking those grant funds and putting them into this
rehabilitation.
It was the consensus of the Commission to direct the CRA to obtain more
information and return to the Commission with this information at a later date.
Ms. McCarthy moved to approve the original agreement which includes the "as
is" clause for the sale and purchase of the Monterey House in the amount of $700,000.00 with
the right to inspection; and, direct the CRA to obtain more information and return to the
Commission at a later date, seconded by Mr. Costin. Upon roll call the Commission voted as
follows: Ms. McCarthy - Yes; Mr. Costin - Yes; Mrs. Archer - Yes; Vice Mayor Levinson -
Yes. Said motion passed with a 4 to 0 vote.
At this point, the Commission continued Item ll.B. Comments and Inquiries
on Non-Agenda Items from the Public.
ll.B.5. Virginia Snyder~ 38 S. Swinton Avenue~ Delra¥ Beach~ made reference to a
comment expressed by former Mayor Doak Campbell from 1988/89 about S. Swinton Avenue.
Mrs. Snynder stated at that time she owned property on S. Swinton Avenue and it was the oldest
north/south street in town and she had the belief that it would improve. Mrs. Snyder stated she
lobbied for a park at the intersection of Swinton and S.W. l0th Street, and now there is a nice
park. Mrs. Snyder stated she had complained some time ago about the grass being torn up by
people parking in this area and noted the City Manager had "No Parking Signs" put up along the
street which stopped people from parking on the grass temporarily. Mrs. Snyder stated the "No
Parking Signs" are now being removed. Mrs. Snyder stated she has witnessed some City
vehicles parking under the trees and requested something be done about this so that these
vehicles do not park on the grass.
Secondly, Mrs. Snyder commented about the boarded up house North Swinton
Avenue (third house North of Doc's). Mrs. Snyder stated this house is an eyesore and has been
boarded up for many years as like the two-story house at the south end of Swinton Avenue. Mrs.
Snyder inquired as to how many years this can be allowed to go on and she feels this is
detrimental to the value of the surrounding properties.

12/02/03
ll.B.6. Owen Murphy~ 1000 Ocean Terrace - Unit "C"~ Delray Beach~ commented
about the fluoridation of Delray Beach's water supply and he feels it is not a good policy. Mr.
Murphy stated there are many toxic chemicals today that are in foods, drinks, personal products,
cleansing products, and pharmaceutical products. In the past, Mr. Murphy stated the rationale
was that fluoride is a drug that will prevent cavities in children between the ages of 6-12 and he
feels this is the only good thing about fluoridation. Mr. Murphy stated there are many chemicals
that are toxic and he feels there are too many risks involved by putting fluoride into the water
and urged the Commission to stop putting fluoride into the water.
13.
COMMENTS AND INQUIRIES ON NON-AGENDA ITEMS.
13.A. City Manager.
With regard to Mrs. Archer reporting about some parking meters not working
properly, the City Manager stated the meters are showing their age. The City Manager stated the
Public Works Parking Meter Technician collects revenue on Mondays and Fridays and checks
the meters for proper operation during these collections. The meters reported by Mrs. Archer
should now be working properly. The City Manager stated if anyone hears of a problem, it is
helpful to staff to know the meter number and a person's name and telephone number. The City
Manager stated staff is aware that the entire system needs to be replaced, and therefore has been
looking at various systems available to replace them.
Mrs. Archer asked how the City will handle citizens who have received parking
tickets based on inappropriate operations of parking meters. In response, the City Manager
stated staff will void the ticket. Mrs. Archer suggested that there be some way to inform the
public of this information.
13.B. City Attorney.
The City Attorney had no comments or inquiries on non-agenda items.
13.C.
13.C.1.
City Commission.
Commissioner Archer
Mrs. Archer stated she has had some inquiries with regard to parade security for
the upcoming holiday parade. Mrs. Archer stated there is little enforcement and everything
slows down and the people move in from the side of the street (from beyond the barriers) and the
floats slow down. Mrs. Archer expressed concern for the safety of the children who are walking
with some of the vehicles and asked if there is anything staff can do particularly during the
second half of the parade to make sure that the barriers are maintained in the last 2-3 blocks of
the parade.
Secondly, Mrs. Archer stated she missed the Cultural Loop because she was out
of town.
-16-
12/02/03
With regard to the comments by Mrs. Beer about PROD membership, Mrs.
Archer stated she has missed the last two meetings, but she has been attending regularly as her
schedule permits for the last 6-7 years.
Mrs. Archer stated she is very excited about having filed for re-election today.
Mrs. Archer stated we have made some great strides in Delray Beach and she would like to be
sure that we continue positive efforts moving forward. Mrs. Archer continued to state she takes
the trust that the residents have placed in her very seriously and she would like to remain
committed to protecting the unique quality of life in the All-America City and she is proud to
serve.
Mrs. Archer stated she had the opportunity to go on Haitian Radio and
commented that the discussion revolved entirely around the new Bond Issue, which was well
received and since this is the last show on the Haitian Radio, there was some call in comments
from people on how they would like to see it continue.
13.C.2.
Commissioner Costin
Mr. Costin stated he had a good time at the Cultural Loop and commented he too
was on the first trolley with Mrs. Pompey. Mr. Costin commented Mrs. Pompey appeared to be
quite proud of the accomplishments of the Cultural Loop. Mr. Costin stated the Cultural Loop
was a very fine achievement for Delray Beach and was a very successful event.
Secondly, Mr. Costin stated on Thanksgiving Day he had the opportunity to help
serve some less fortunate people at Jimmy's Stone Crab. Mr. Costin stated he finds it quite
admirable of the owner (Jimmy Story) to open his restaurant on one of the busiest days in the
restaurant year and serve the less fortunate out of the goodness of his heart. Mr. Costin stated if
anyone has the opportunity, to make it a point to thank Jimmy Story.
Mr. Costin stated he had the opportunity to attend the Tree Lighting Ceremony
and commented that Christmas really is for children of all ages.
13.C.3.
Commissioner McCarthy

amazing event with a lot of effort on the parts of many people. Ms. McCarthy thanked PROD
for their volunteerism and their participation in something that was so worthy.
Secondly, Ms. McCarthy stated she missed the Tree Lighting Ceremony this year
because she was with her granddaughter in Atlanta, Georgia.
Ms. McCarthy stated on Thanksgiving Day she routinely helps with serving
dinners at Pompey Park Recreation Center. Ms. McCarthy stated she called before leaving town
just to make sure everything was in order.
-17-
12/02/03
13.C.4. Commissioner Levinson
Mr. Levinson announced the unfortunate passing of Dean Ellis' brother.
Secondly, Mr. Levinson complimented Ivan Ladizinsky, Public Information
Officer, on the "News for Neighborhoods". Mr. Levinson feels the addition of pictures, and
being able to download it on the web and the fact of it being mailed out to people is really
beneficial.
Mr. Levinson commented about the new water bills and stated many people have
approached him informing him the water bills are readable and easy to see.
Mr. Levinson commented about an article about a member of the Fire Department
and stated members of the Fire Department joined the Commission at Jimmy's Stone Crab. Mr.
Levinson echoed comments expressed by Mr. Costin about anyone who has the opportunity to
thank Jimmy Story to please do so.
Mr. Levinson stated he and the Mayor spent a full day with Office Depot who
also deserves a great amount of credit for delivering 1,000 turkeys to the community. Mr.
Levinson stated in addition to the Tree Lighting Ceremony where Office Depot participated, one
of the deliveries was for 300-400 turkeys for the Straghn Thanksgiving Dinner at Pompey Park.
Mr. Levinson commented about the Tree Lighting Ceremony and stated the
weather was perfect. He stated approximately 30 people approached him letting him know how
excited they are about the Bond Issue.
With regard to garbage cans and garbage along Atlantic Avenue, Mr. Levinson
stated on Saturday morning when he walked down to the Green Market around 10:00 a.m., the
garbage cans had not been picked up from the night before. Mr. Levinson stated the garbage
cans overflow and there is no room for additional garbage to go. Mr. Levinson suggested that
staff temporarily place cardboard cans along Atlantic Avenue until they can obtain additional
garbage cans.
Mr. Levinson commented about the street lights and stated there may need to be
some methodology by which staff targets those lights that are out. Mr. Levinson stated at some
corners where a street light is not working, it is difficult to make a right or left turn and he is
concerned about the safety and security of walkers as well. The City Manager commented the
rate assumes a certain percentage of the outage; however, this generally exceeds that percentage.
13.C.5.
Mayor Perlman
Mayor Perlman stated the Police Chief has asked him to announce that the street
lights will be out along West Atlantic Avenue throughout the Holiday Season because of the
construction on the interstate. Mayor Perlman stated he is not sure whether this is a Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) issue or a Florida Power & Light (FP&L) issue because
he has not received any calls back from them yet and stated the Police Chief is very concerned.
-18-
12/02/03
Secondly, Mayor Perlman commented about the Thanksgiving Dinner and would
like to formally recognize Mr. Story because he feels what he did is extraordinary.
Mayor Perlman commented about the 1,000 turkeys donated by Office Depot to
needy residents of Delray Beach including Carver Estates. Mayor Perlman stated although
Office Depot is vacating their Delray Beach Headquarters, their commitment to the community,
he believes, will stay. Mayor Perlman applauded Marjorie Ferrer, Dowtown Coordinator, for
getting Office Depot to contribute.
Mayor Perlman commented about a few local authors in town and stated he
bought McCall Rosenthal's book at the Historical Society Breakfast and recommends the book
to everyone. In addition, Mayor Perlman stated Sandy Simon wrote a book regarding the history
of Highland Beach.
Mayor Perlman stated the crowd for the Tree Lighting Ceremony was the best
ever.
Mrs. Archer suggested exploring the possibility of closed circuit television with a
screen so that the Tree Lighting Ceremony can be seen down Atlantic Avenue. Mayor Perlman
feels this is a very good idea and commented that Office Depot is interested in entering a balloon
float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and they want their float to be a replica of the
Delray Beach 100 foot tree.
Mayor Perlman stated the Legislation Delegation was at Old School Square last
week and commented he was able to discuss the Old School Square grant that the City hopes to
send to the State and ask them for support this year (Article V funding and the Community
Redevelopment Agency Legislation).
Mayor Perlman announced that there is a middle school meeting at Pine Grove
Elementary School tomorrow evening at 7:00 p.m. to discuss various options that are available
for elementary school students going on to middle school. Mayor Perlman also commented
about the new Hi-Tech Middle School that is being built in hopes to help provide some relief of
overcrowding at Carver Middle School.
Mrs. Archer announced the Education Board voted to support the inclusion of
relief for Carver. However, Mrs. Archer stated the Board's primary concern was that they not
jeopardize any building of the potential new Middle School of the Arts for the old Atlantic High
School site.
For the benefit of the Commission and the public, Mayor Perlman stated he would
like to make a clarification contrary to what may have been seen in newspapers and emphasized
PROD has not yet taken a position on the Bond Issue. Mayor Perlman stated Bill Schwartz
assured him that PROD will look at the four questions and not make a decision until they have
all the information. Mayor Perlman stated there has not been an official position although there
have been quotes seen in the newspapers that they may have been reacting to. Furthermore,
-19-
12/02/03
Mayor Perlman stated he mailed the President of PROD asking if they would like to take a
position and meet with the Commission so that they can discuss this matter further.
