Both Proclamations will be signed by Mayor Moore.
II. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Resignation of City Manager, Peter Cheney
City Manager Cheney had submitted his letter of resignation
addressed to Mayor Gene Moore, effective midnight,
August 1, 1989. The resignation was accompanied by
Commission agreement to six specifics enumerated in the
letter.
Motion
Commissioner Wische moved to accept the resignation.
Commissioner Hester seconded the motion.
Comments by Commissioner Weiner
Commissioner Weiner felt Mr. Cheney had been harrassed into
resigning and had served the City for the last ten years in
a dedicated fashion. She felt the severance pay should be
increased to one year's pay. Walter Barry, former City
Manager in Delray Beach was fired last week and he received
six months severance pay after serving only 18 months. She
felt Mr. Cheney deserved much more from this City.
Comments by Vice Mayor Olenik
Vice Mayor Olenik agreed that Mr. Cheney should receive 12
months severance pay. The Vice Mayor remarked that he has
watched this City grow to the point that it is now the third
largest City in Palm Beach County. He didn't agree with
everything Mr. Cheney had done. But if you're going to pin
the responsibility of failures that occurred in the City on
the City Manager, then you must give him credit for the
accomplishments that have taken place, such as the Sara
Simms Park expansion. Over 400 youths are enrolled in the
Recreation and Parks programs this summer. Through Mr.
Cheney's leadership and assistance from his staff, the City
has been able to build programs such as these. We have
received the Distinguished Budget Award several years in a
row. We have done an admirable job on our Comprehensive
Plan. We have one of the top Fire Rescue Departments in the
country. We have a successful walking beat program that was
instituted during his tenure. The Vice Mayor felt with
Mr. Cheney's departure would come the departure of other
City staff members. He elaborated and stated today was a
sad day, but the future is really going to be sadder. He
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 1, 1989
didn't think anyone truly realizes the long term positive
effects that Mr. Cheney and his organization has had on this
City. These things far outweigh the failures that are
claimed to have been his responsibility.
Comments by Commissioner Hester
Commissioner Hester indicated that over the years he too had
seen the ups and downs of the City. Mr. Cheney, in his opi-
nion, had done a magnificient job of running the City. He
referred to newspaper accounts stating he was in favor of
firing Mr. Cheney, and said these were assumptions. He
didn't know anything about harrassment. Mr. Cheney's attor-
ney had advised Commissioner Hester that in order to stop
the divisiveness that exists in the City with the
Commissioners, Mr. Cheney would tender his resignation. He
didn't think the resignation was forced on Mr. Cheney
although he stated he could be wrong. Mr. Hester elaborated
and felt it was Mr. Cheney's choice. He didn't think other
employees would suddenly quit, unless their loyalties were
to someone other than the City. Mr. Hester stated he was
going to vote to fire Mr. Cheney, but no one knew how he was
going to vote. He didn't want to make a circus out of this
and felt the resignation should be accepted with regrets.
Comments by Commissioner Wische
Commissioner Wische referred to a recent Palm Beach Post
Editorial which stated Mayor Moore, Commissioner Hester and
himself were going to fire the City Manager. The only one
that has said he would like to see the City Manager go is
Mayor Moore. It was part of Mayor Moore's campaign speech
and was no secret to anybody. Commissioner Wische had never
told a newspaper reporter which way he intended to vote.
Commissioner Wische referred to Vice Mayor Olenik and stated
he had indicated to the newspapers that Commissioner Wische
was going to see that Peter Cheney leaves. Commissioner
Wische took exception to Commissioner Weiner's remarks about
harrassment. The City Manager's attorney had also contacted
Commissioner Wische about the resignation and the con-
ditions. Commissioner Wische referred to the first con-
dition dealing with severance. He stated that even though
Mr. Cheney only had two months severance pay, he requested
six months. The Commission didn't dictate that figure. Mr.
Cheney asked for it and Commissioner Wische saw no reason to
change it from six months.

AUGUST 1, 1989
Comments by Mayor Moore
Mayor Moore stated his position had been clear from the
beginning. He had said before the election that you can't
judge a man until you've been with him for a reasonable
period of time. Mayor Moore has worked with Mr. Cheney for
four months and stated he would have "made the motion
tonight". He had no votes to push through anything and he
defied anybody to say that. He felt the resignation was in
the best interests of the City and he commended Mr. Cheney.
Elaboration took place.
Vote on Motion
Mayor Moore called for a vote on the motion to accept the
resignation as tendered. The motion carried 3-2. Vice
Mayor Olenik and Commissioner Weiner voted against the
motion.
Mayor Moore commended Mr. Cheney again for handling this as
a gentleman and felt he avoided a repetition of the
situation that recently occurred in Delray Beach. The Mayor
hoped the City could now move forward and put this behind
it.
Commissioner Hester reminded the Commission that the respon-
sibility for the City lies with the Commission. The City
Manager was appointed by the Commission to supervise the
daily functions of the City. The City will still go for-
ward. He saw no reason why the City could not "join hands"
and move forward to make the City the way it should be. He
elaborated.
Resolution No. 89-FF
Re: Acceptance of Resignation of City Manager
City Attorney Rea stated the City Manager was hired by
Resolution and a resignation has to be accepted by
Resolution. At the end of the day he had prepared
Resolution 89-FF. Mr. Rea read the Resolution by caption
only.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RESIGNATION OF
THE CITY MANAGER; STATING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR
OTHER PURPOSES.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COmmISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 1, 1989
A copy of the resignation letter with it's handwritten
amendment has been attached to the Resolution.
Commissioner Wische moved to adopt Resolution No. 89-FF.
Commissioner Hester seconded the motion, which carried 3-2.
Vice Mayor Olenik and Commissioner Weiner voted against the
motion.
Former Mayor Ralph Marchese addressed the Commission and
felt this was a day of infamy. He stated he felt the Mayor
had "successfully completed his attack on the best City
Manager in the State of Florida." He felt Mr. Cheney had
been hard working and devoted to the City. He felt the
Commission should be ashamed. Mr. Marchese stated he was
disgusted and felt the Mayor "had ruined the City."
Henrietta Solomon addressed the Commission and stated up to
this point, Boynton Beach has enjoyed the reputation of
being a well run City. This had happened because of the
leadership and guidance of the City Manager. She stated
throughout the State Mr. Cheney is known as a professional,
capable manager. Mrs. Solomon felt the Mayor was elected
to settle Tradewinds which remains unresolved. She felt it
was questionable conduct for the Mayor not to attend the
budget workshop meetings and questioned his motives.
Mrs. Solomon stated the citizens want Peter Cheney as City
Manager and she elaborated. She recommended the Commission
give Mr. Cheney a vote of confidence and ask him to come
back. She feared for the City.
Commissioner Wische asked Mrs. Solomon why she had cam-
paigned so vigorously for Mayor Moore's election, knowing
that he wanted to get rid of Peter Cheney. He found this
Contradictory. Mrs. Solomon said it was a big mistake, but
~he had hoped the Mayor could resolve the Tradewinds
problem.
Les McDermott stated the City belongs to the citizens, not
to the Mayor, the Commissioners nor the City Manager. He
~mplored those in attendance to stop bickering and to move
on with the interests of Boynton Beach as one unit.
Eleanor Mann addressed the Commission on behalf of her hus-
band, former Commissioner Leonard Mann. Mr. Mann has a
Masters Degree in Regional Planning and City Management.
~fter working with Mr. Cheney for two years he stated he had
never seen a better City Manager. She thought we had a real
professional.
Marie Shepherd questioned what had brought all of this
about. Mayor Moore asked if she attended Commission

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

meetings or reads the newspapers? She could find no speci-
fic dereliction of duties. Mayor Moore explained the City
Manager serves at the pleasure of the Commission.
Motion
Discussion took place relative to appointment of an Acting
City Manager. Commissioner Wische nominated Don Jaeger to
be permanent City Manager. Commissioner Weiner voiced stren-
uous objection to the nomination and stated Mr. Jaeger had
only been a department head for two months. She did not
feel Mr. Jaeger was capable of supervising 750 employees and
a $27,000,000 budget. Commissioner Wische reviewed the con-
tents of Mr. Jaeger's resume out loud. Mayor Moore passed
the gavel to Vice Mayor Olenik and seconded the motion.
Discussion took place and Commissioner Hester stated he had
just found out this afternoon about the resignation and he
was not prepared to vote for anyone.
Mayor Moore remarked that if Commissioner Wische would
change his motion to appoint Mr. Jaeger on an interim basis,
he would recommend the City go that way. Commissioner
Wische amended his motion to appoint Mr. Jaeger as Interim
City Manager. Mayor Moore seconded the amended motion.
Discussion took place. Vice Mayor Olenik called for a vote
on the motion. After the vote was called, the Vice Mayor
announced the motion carried 3 - 2 and that Mr. Jaeger was
Interim City Manager. There was some reaction from the
audience. Vice Mayor Olenik apologized and stated the
motion failed, 2 - 3. Mayor Moore and Commissioner Wische
voted in favor of the motion. The Vice Mayor and
Commissioner Weiner voted against the motion. Commissioner
Hester had stated previously he was not prepared to vote.
The gavel was returned to Mayor Moore. Mayor Moore com-
mented that under the City Charter, he now ran the City.
Motion
Vice Mayor Olenik moved to appoint George Hunt as Interim
City Manager until a permanent City Manager can be found.
Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion. The vote was
called. The Vice Mayor and Commissioner Weiner voted in
favor of the motion. The Mayor and Commissioner Wische
voted against the motion. Commissioner Hester repeated that
he was not ready to vote and needed more time to think about
it.
City Attorney Rea interjected when there is no City Manager,
the Commission runs the City on a day-to-day basis. For
6
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 1, 1989
all practical purposes, under the Charter, this can be
interpreted to mean that the Mayor runs the City. Mr. Rea
strongly suggested that the Commission decide prior to mid-
night as to who will be Interim City Manager. Without that
determination being made, from both a legal and a practical
point of view, it will be a "free for all". The Charter
provisions are somewhat tenuous and Mr. Rea could see the
Charter and Code of Ordinances being interpreted to a point
where the Mayor runs the City. Administratively and effec-
tively then the Commission has total, unequivocal control
over the Civil Service process. If the Commission wants
that control, fine. However, barring that, the Commission
would be required to appoint an Interim City Manager prior
to midnight.
Motion
After some discussion took place, Commissioner Weiner moved
that Mr. Cheney be requested to continue in his present
position until such time as the City can advertise for a
qualified, competent, experienced, City Manager and fill the
position. The motion died for lack of a second. Some of
the Commissioners did not feel that would be fair to Mr. Cheney.
Former Mayor Nick Cassandra suggested a motion be made to
put George Hunt in as Interim City Manager for a period of
one month or until one of the coming Commission meetings.
That would give them time to evaluate names. The budget has
to be discussed and voted on. Mr. Cassandra felt Mr. Hunt
was the only person who really knew what had been happening
and had worked in direct contact with the City Manager.
Mr. Cassandra stated what he saw tonight is going to hurt
the City. He understood Commissioner Hester had little time
to think about it but felt a decision had to be made
tonight.
Motion
Commissioner Hester agreed the City needs somebody right
away. He felt it was Mr. Cheney's prerogative to resign if
he chose to. Commissioner Hester moved that George Hunt be
appointed as Interim City Manager, to serve at the pleasure
of the City Commission. Commissioner Weiner seconded the
motion.
George Hunt stated he was not interested in the position on
a permanent basis. He felt the Commission needed to put
behind it the divisiveness and politics that have been going
on. He felt he was probably the most qualified person in
the building for the position at the moment.

Mayor Moore called for a vote on the motion, which carried
3 - 2. Mayor Moore and Commissioner Wische voted against
the motion.
Mayor Moore called for a brief recess at 7:00 P.M. The
meeting resumed at 7:13 P.M.
Clarification on Vote
Vice Mayor Olenik asked for clarification on the first vote to
make George Hunt Interim City Manager. He asked how the
vote ended up. Commissioner Hester responded the vote was
2 - 2, as he didn't vote. The Vice Mayor stated the reason
he called a 3-2 vote was because he heard two negatives. He
stated it was against the law to not vote on an issue in the
State of Florida, unless you are inured by special gain of
that particular vote. The Vice Mayor said you could not
have an abstention unless you file a Conflict of Interest
and he didn't believe there was a conflict of interest to
inure special gain there.
City Attorney Rea stated you can only abstain from a vote in
Florida if you have a prohibitive conflict of interest under
the Code of Ethics 112. Vice Mayor Olenik stated he had
made the motion and Commissioner Weiner had seconded it.
Mayor Moore and Commissioner Wische had voted no. Mayor
Moore asked Commissioner Hester how he had voted. He
replied that he didn't say anything. Discussion took place
concerning non-votes. Mr. Rea stated Commissioner Hester
technically cannot abstain, however, if he chose to abstain,
that was still a 2 - 2 tie. Mayor Moore thought it was moot
now because Mr. Hunt had been appointed. Vice Mayor Olenik
thought it was a violation of the Florida Ethics Code.
Discussion took place relative to votes being called and
Vice Mayor Olenik asked what it would mean when an audible
response is not given. Mayor Moore asked Mr. Rea for a
written opinion on this. Mr. Rea stated if people vote,
their votes are counted. If someone abstains, even though
they should not abstain, forcing a vote is another forum
ultimately. Vice Mayor Olenik told Mr. Rea he should have
told Commissioner Hester he couldn't abstain. Mr. Rea
responded that he probably should have.

IV. BIDS
1. Clearing and Grubbing Future Park Site (10 acres) -
South of Rumbottoms Restaurant
City Manager Cheney explained it is recommended that total
bid funding come from the Recreation Trust Fund.
Mayor Moore stated that about 6 weeks ago the Commission
received a report on this. There had been an inquiry for a
bid and it was about $7,000 for the job. Now we're up to
$28,000. Charles Frederick, Director of Recreation and
Parks explained the $7,000 was not a bid for the entire job;
it was a rough estimate on a portion of the site. He
discussed specifics of the bid.
The Mayor asked if we had talked with the contact at
Rumbottoms relative to them paying part of the project
costs. Mr. Cheney responded as far as he knew their people
had never submitted a bid.
Staff recommends doing the whole project at this time and
Mr. Frederick explained what that would include. By
approving the entire bid, the property will be in its best
condition for future park development and will be in a con-
dition which can be easily maintained by the City.
City Manager Cheney stated this work would bring it beyond
Code requirements. The work would be done by a tree company

who will go in and take due consideration for the growth on
the property that ought to be preserved and maintained and
trim it properly. Mr. Frederick informed the Commission
that all native trees would be tagged to make sure the job
is done properly.
Discussion took place relative to relief from overflow
parking on Federal Highway from the Boat Ramp Park.
Mr. Cheney explained the Commission had indicated in the
past that no decision on the use of that property be made
until there was some kind of blue ribbon committee or citi-
zens' committee to take a look at what the use of that prop-
erty should be. Mr. Cheney felt if shellrock was put there
for extra parking without some overall plan, it would begin
to take away some of the value of the land.
Commissioner Wische moved to approve the recommendation.
Vice Mayor Olenik seconded the motion, which carried unani-
mously.
V. PUBLIC HEARING
None.
VI. PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Gary Lehnertz, 619 S.W. 2nd Avenue, Boynton Beach addressed
the Commission relative to the dump west of town. It is in
the process of being permitted to be closed. Mr. Lehnertz
stated it had developed a large number of problems that
appear to endanger the residents that live next to the dump.
Mr. Lehnertz elaborated and stated the City had been cited
by the DER because there are continuous on-going violations
of that permitting process. He referred to a DER hearing on
August 3, 1989 to discuss violations. Two years ago, Mr.
Lehnertz stated pollution was found at the north limit of
the dump. After that time wells were dug considerably north
of the dump. At this point Mr. Lehnertz stated there are
significant levels of pollution of sorts in these wells.
Mr. Lehnertz suggested that George Hunt represent the City
in this matter. He felt the City should enter into the
Consent Order that DER will give to the City, which will
include groundwater correction actions.
City Manager Cheney stated since the City has gotten into
the closure of that landfill the Commission has always taken
the position that it would do whatever DER and the Health
Dept. wants it to do. They have consistently done that and
13
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 1, 1989
rely on their judgement. At no step along the way has the
City not done what the DER and Health Dept. wants the City
to do. Post, Buckley & Jernigan is one of the best con-
sulting engineers on landfill closures, which is why the
Commission hired them at that time. Mr. Cheney did not want
it left the way Mr. Lehnertz was talking, as if the City was
shirking it's duties in closing the landfill. The City has
done every test DER has told it to do.
City Manager Cheney commented that DER contacted the City
last week, in part possibly because DER has a new supervisor
who is learning about the job. A meeting had been arranged
to discuss the situation. Several days later the supervisor
postponed the meeting. Mr. Cheney reiterated whatever the
agencies tell us to do we will do.
VII. DEVELOPMENT PLANS

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, REPEALING ARTICLE XII
DEMOLITION OF DILAPIDATED, UNFIT, UNSANITARY AND UNSAFE
BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES, OF CHAPTER 5, BUILDINGS,
HOUSING AND CONSTRUCTION REGULATIONS, OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH; PROVIDING FOR
A CONFLICTS CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE;
PROVIDING AUTHORITY TO CODIFY; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE
DATE, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
City Attorney Rea explained the City had adopted the
Standard Building Code as the process in Boynton Beach for
everything dealing with building codes, demolitions, etc.
Unfortunately we have had in our City Codes a demolition
procedure which is somewhat archaic and conflicts with the
South Florida Building Code. What we are doing is getting the
proper, most acceptable procedure adopted as the Code and we
are eliminating what we have today.
Commissioner Hester moved to adopt Proposed Ordinance No.
89-22 on first reading. Vice Mayor Olenik seconded the
motion and a roll call vote was taken by Betty Boroni, City
Clerk as follows:
Commissioner Weiner - Aye
Commissioner Wische - Aye
Mayor Moore - Aye
Vice Mayor Olenik - Aye
Commissioner Hester - Aye
Motion carried 5-0.
C. Resolutions
None.
D. Other
1. Review of Community Appearance Board responsibilities
(Previously TABLED)
The Commission chose to leave this item TABLED.
2. Tradewinds
City Attorney Rea stated there had been a breakdown in com-
munication regarding what the ground rules were going to be.
A negotiations session had been scheduled for Wednesday
evening, August 2, 1989. Mr. Rea recommended the meeting on
Wednesday be temporarily called off until the City's attorneys
16
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 1, 1989
can "pound out" a deal prior to going public in a public
session. The Commission thought that was reasonable. The
attorneys have not really talked yet. Mr. Rea commented the
City had been expecting a letter from the Tradewinds attor-
neys about a week ago stating the terms and conditions that
we could all agree on. When the letter never came, the
City's attorney contacted Tradewinds' attorney and a
breakdown in communication took place.
Mayor Moore remarked the City's attorneys wanted a formal
agreement that anything said by us or them would not be
binding on either side. Mr. Rea said we wanted it handled
exactly like any other settlement negotiation would be
handled in Court. Mayor Moore stated Commissioner Wische
had stated publicly some very cogent ideas toward nego-
tiation. The Mayor would like Commissioner Wische to
substitute in his stead as "designated hitter".
Commissioner Wische responded that he thought the
Commissioners were "all going to hit". Discussion took
place. Mr. Michael Warren*was present at the meeting and
expressed the feeling that in negotiation settlements,
things that are said by both sides are not supposed to be
used if it goes to trial. He felt the problem with having
the public and press present is that it is very difficult to
have discussion between the parties, that the entire world
is not privy to. They would like to meet with ~Vir. Burman
ahead of time to see what can be worked out.
The final agreement was that the attorneys meet ahead of
time to establish the ground rules and then the Commission
will make itself available to meet with them.
IX. OLD BUSINESS
None.
X. NEW BUSINESS
A. Items for discussion requested by Mayor Gene Moore
1. Consideration by the Commission to seek permission from
DeBartolo for use of "Boynton Beach" Mall logo by the City
Mayor Moore remarked he thought the City needed a decent
logo. He had made one suggestion and it was received like
a "tempest in a teapot".
Former Mayor Ralph Marchese addressed the Commission rela-
tive to the present City logo and stated it tells a story
*Should be
Michael Morton.

Minutes.

about the area in which we live. He elaborated on different
details in the logo itself and referred to a large mosaic
tile'plaque of the logo. He recommended keeping the present
City logo because of what it symbolizes and it's beauty.
City Manager Cheney remarked this particular logo had been
given to the City by Marlo Farizoli and was produced by one
of his craftmen. The idea was that it be placed on the wall
Outside Commission Chambers.
The Commission agreed to disregard further consideration of
a professional logo.
2. Discuss setting date for Height Limitation Referendum
Mayor Moore felt general discussion needed to take place on
whether the Commission wanted to submit the height issue, in
Limited areas, to a referendum. If so, should the City wait
until the next regular election or hold a special election
on that sole issue in November?
Commissioner Weiner felt before they discuss putting it on
the ballot she would like to clearly understand what the
i!mpact would be in raising the height and where they want to
raise if. She would like the Utilities Director to explain
if there would be adverse impact to the water supply if the
limit is raised. She would like the City Engineer to tell
them if there would be adverse impact.
Mayor Moore stated the City now had in place the Community
Redevelopment Agency. He felt their first assignment
should be providing input as to the specific area of down-
tiown. He would like them to come back with some kind of
parameters. They could check with any City official for
input. He would like an early recommendation on whether
t~ey will recommend the height limits be altered in
any way in the downtown area, to start with.
Commissioner Wische expressed the feeling that we should
stick to the 45' height limit. If passed by the other four
Commissioners, he would like it to go to referendum for the
people to vote on. Before that happens though, he would
suggest there be three referendums if we're going to go with
the three districts suggested by the Planning & Zoning Board.
Commissioner Weiner supported the idea of a referendum.
Before anything is put on the ballot, however, she would
like to clearly understand the impacts of each section on
18

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

utilities, on the engineering aspects, etc. She was not
quite sure that responsibility belonged to another board.
Since the Commission is going to decide whether it will go
to referendum, she felt the Commission should receive input
from department heads in writing on the impact. The Mayor
said the City Manager should get the information together.
City Manager Cheney made a suggestion. A general location
of increased height could be important. We may have ade-
qluate utilities in one place but not in another. He thought
what the Commission was talking about in general, was
something downtown, on N. Federal Hwy. and something in the
area of 22nd Ave./I-95. Further discussion took place.
COmmissioner Hester suggested the department heads provide
input to the Commission. The Commission wanted the infor-
mation back in the next 30 days.
Brief discussion took place regarding the fact that there
no election scheduled until the City's election in March,
Procedure was a concern and Betty Boroni, City Clerk,
d!istributed pertinent information on this topic to the
Commissioners.
1990.
Mayor Moore felt this was a sensitive issue and a special
e~ection should be held, devoid of politics. He elaborated.
M~yor Moore stated the Commission wanted a report back in
the next two weeks on what the recommended parameters for
the election are.
3. Request to consider appointment of internal auditor
Discussion took place relative to the Mayor's recommendation
that Mr. Bernard Rubin be appointed as an unpaid, internal
auditor. Commissioner Wische moved that the Commission hire
Bernard Rubin as internal auditor, at no fee. Commissioner
Hester seconded the motion.
Commissioner Weiner thought if an internal auditor is
needed, the City should hire an internal auditor, pay him
and tell him what they want specifically. She had an objec-
tion to a volunteer going through City records, without any
specific job description.
Vice Mayor Olenik expressed his feelings and stated a paid
ihternal auditor would be more apt to provide the Commission
with data backed by one's professional certification. He
wondered if the Commission really wanted to bring in a gra-
tis auditor that may have been selected from a political
19

AUGUST 1, 1989
standpoint. How would the Commission know what this person
said was true if they did not have the professional fee that
would normally be paid to assure his objectivity? Further
disagreement took place.
Mayor Moore called for a vote on the motion currently on the
floor. The motion carried 3-2. Vice Mayor Olenik and
Commissioner Weiner voted against the motion. The Mayor
directed the City Manager's office to provide office space
and whatever assistance is needed.
Items for discussion requested by Commissioner Weiner
1!. Joint Workshop Meeting between City Commission and
Chamber of Commerce
Commissioner Weiner reported that some months back a joint
workshop took place with the Chamber of Commerce.
~roductive discussion had taken place dealing with matters
o!f concern in the community. At that time those in atten-
dance had expressed a desire to meet periodically.
CDmmissioner Weiner suggested that with the new Executive
Dlirector starting with the Chamber of Commerce, a workshop
m~eting be scheduled so that the Commission can get to know
hiim. The Commission agreed that Commissioner Weiner should
s~t the meeting up.
2. Consider adoption of resolution opposing special session
of Legislature on abortion
Cpmmissioner Weiner requested a consensus from the Commission
oD the matter of abortion. She proposed having the City
A~torney draft a resolution opposing the special session of
the Florida Legislature called on abortion, opposing further
rDstrictions on a womans' right to choose abortion in
Florida and affirming commitment to free choice in this
m~tter.
C~mmissioner Hester expressed the feeling that the City
should not get involved in asking the Governor to not call
t~e special session. If a person wished to individually let
t~eir feelings be known on a State level, one could contact
t~eir legislators.
commissioner weiner moved that the City draw up a resolution
opposing the special session, opposing further restrictions
oh a womans' right to choose abortion and affirming our com-
mitment to free choice in the matter of abortion for all
women. The motion died for lack of a second.

t~e Commission needed to adopt a board rotation policy
before they can start nominating these people.
