Commissioner Aguila referred to Item XI.A and stated that he did not ask for
Augy's Restaurant to be reconsidered. He said he asked that it be further
discussed. He moved this item to VIII.C. Vice Mayor Matson stated that she
seconded Commissioner AgUila's motion for reconsideration at the July 5, 1994
City Commission meeting because she was not at the June 21, 1994 meeting when
this development plan was discussed. Commissioner Aguila stated that the motion
was not for reconsideration; it was for discussion. He clarified that he has no
intention of reconsidering this site plan under its present format. He is pre-'
pared to discuss other options.
City Manager Parker pointed out a typographical error. The figure in Item II.D
should read $9,756.50 instead of $7,756.50. Under Item III.D, she added payment
of a bill to Johnson and Davis, in the amount of $45,307.12. Commissioner
Aguila asked if this is final payment. City Manager Parker answered in the
negative. She advised that the City is still holding $6,597.88.

C, Replacement of 15 slx year old Club Cars with 15 1995 Electrtc Golf
Carts for the Golf Course
Pursuant to Memorandum #94-016 from the Golf Director to the City Manager, the
replacement schedule for the motorized electric golf cart fleet, as approved for
fiscal year 1993/94, projected replacing 15 six year old 1988 Club Cars with 15
1995 Electric Club Cars. Mr. Sciortino requested permission to issue a purchase
order to Club Car for these carts for delivery in September.
Club Car submitted a written quote of $2,850 per car plus $115.90 per car for
options (information holder-S13, ultra-power charger-S27.90, and "Club
Protector" rear enclosure (installed)-$75). The trade-in value for each 1988
Club Car is $475. Therefore, the total cost for the replacement of the 15 six
year old Club Cars with 15 1995 Electric Golf Carts amounts to $35,625.
Commissioner Aguila asked why David Kelly is only giving us $475 back for our
carts when Jim Chandler is giving Sebastian Municipal Golf Club $600. Mr.
Sciortino explained that our golf carts get a lot more rounds than most other
golf courses.
Commissioner Aguila moved to approve the replacement of fifteen carts.
Commissioner Katz seconded the motion.

The motion carried 5-0.
Request authorization to expend $9,755,50 from the Recreation Revenue
Fund to purchase the hardware, software annual maintenance and
training for computeriZation of the Racquet Center
Pursuant to Recreation and Parks Memorandum No. 94-248, since the initial
opening of the Racquet Center, court reservations and the purchase of permits
have been processed by hand. The time required to process necessary paperwork
has increased significantly, while the number of permit holders and revenues for
the Racquet Center have increased annually. Current revenues for the facility
exceeds $160,000, and the financial paperwork and reports required to monitor
effectiveness of such an operation necessitate computerization.
Computerization of the Racquet Center will improve efficiency of the tennis
court reservation, pro shop sales, permit purchases and reporting processes.
will enhance reporting for membership tracking, marketing and increased reve-
nues. It will improve customer service through faster, more streamlined
purchase and reservation processes.
It
No tax dollars are necessary for funding. Computerization and staff training
can be funded through the Recreation Revenue {Enterprise} Fund where fees
charged for programs and services cover the costs of operating the programs.
Outlined below are the costs associated with computerization of the Racquet
Center:
Hardware - $1,020.00
Software - 2,236.50
Annual Software Maintenance - 1,500.00
Installation and Training - 5,000.00
$9,756.50
Motion
Vice Mayor Matson moved to approve this item. Commissioner Aguila seconded the
motion, which carried 5-0.
E, Authorize purchase of Energy Management System for the Golf Course
irrigation pump station
Pursuant to his Memorandum #94-023 to the City Commission, the Golf Director had
our Cart Facility Energy Management System vendor review our energy bills for
our irrigation pump system from June, 1993 to May, 1994. Although we saved
$11,822.72 through our own manual system, we would have saved an additional
$3,567.24 with their system. He requested permission to purchase their system
at a cost of $4,000 with a projected pay back in thirteen to fourteen months.

Notion
Commissioner Aguila moved to approve this item. Mayor Pro Tem Bradley seconded
the motion.
In response to Mayor Harmening, Mr. Sciortino stated that we have been using
little irrigation clocks and when there are power failures and they run fifteen
minutes on peak, we sometimes lose $4,000 for the year. The Energy Management
System is totally automatic. The internal perpetual clock takes into account
holidays and daylight savings time. If we have to override the system, the
superintendent has a key. Mr. Sciortino stated that it is basically error
proof. He advised that we saved $700 with the Energy Management System in the
last two or three months.
In response to Vice Mayor Matson, Mr. Sciortino advised that this would come out
of the Capital Improvement account.
The motion carried 5-0.
Change Order Ho, I - Western Waterproofing Company for replacement of
stucco at City Hall Building, the parking garage and the Police
Station for a total cost of $1,677
Pursuant to Public Works Department Memorandum No. 94-178, part of Western
Waterproofing's contract is to remove and replace any loose stucco they find on
the City Hall complex. The contract bid contains a line item price for this
work. As noted on Change Order #1, this is for work on the City Hall building,
the parking garage, and the police station for a total of $1,677. This was
included in the contract approved by the Commission.
Notion
Commissioner Aguila moved approval of Change Order No. I for Western
Waterproofing for $1,677. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the motion.
Commissioner Aguila inquired about the schedule for completion of this project.
City Manager Parker advised that at the moment, the painting of the final coat,
the timing, and additional charges, if any, are being discussed. She explained
that there seems to be a little misunderstanding. The gentleman she spoke to
regarding the painting is not available because he has had some illness in his
family. City Manager Parker received some additional timing and cost require-
ments that she is not in agreement with and is waiting for him to return to
discuss this with him.
Mayor Harmening asked if the replacement of the stucco around the frame was
included in the basic contract. City Manager Parker stated that the unit price
of $6.50 per square foot was included; however, there was no estimate of the
amount of square feet.
The motion carried 5-0.

Authorize submission of Palm Beach County Roadway Beautification
Grant for review and recommendation by Beautiful Palm Beaches
Advisory Coemlttee for landscaping the existing grass median from the
L-30 canal north to $unmtt Ortve
Pursuant to Recreation and Park Memorandum #94-251, this grant request requires
a 50/50 match between the City of Boynton Beach and Palm Beach County to land-
scape these medians in a yearly phasing program. This year's application in-
volves landscaping the existing grass median from the L-30 canal north to Summit
Drive (710 lineal feet). The landscape plans have been designed and completed
for this application by Kilday and Associates. This firm was previously ap-
proved by the Commission to generate landscape drawings for this project.
The estimated cost for this first phase of the project is $30,000. The City
would be requested to pay $15,000 plus any fees to the landscape architectural
firm. The grant application would be reviewed and ranked with all other appli-
cants to the grant program. Staff requested allocation of the appropriate funds
and preparation of a resolution directing staff to apply for the grant.
The City would assume maintenance of all medians upon successfully receiving the
grants and installing the landscape materials. The appoximate costs to maintain
this first phase of the project would be $5,000 per year.
Notion
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley moved approval of the Palm Beach County Roadway
Beautification Grant. Commissioner Aguila seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor Matson pointed out that this was not supposed to cost the City any
money.. Now it is going to cost the City $20 per foot. She wondered if the City
Commission should consider this after the budget hearings. Mayor Harmening felt
the City should proceed.
Commissioner Aguila wondered if Hunters Run would participate in the maintenance
and/or cost.
Maurice Rosenstock stated that $300,000 is available for the entire County this
year. He advised that the widening of Congress Avenue has been moved up from
1997 to November 1, 1994. Construction should begin around April, 1995. He
also advised that at this time, if you do not have matching money available, the
County is not going to give you a dime. The matching funds can be in kind
(jacking, boring, maintenance of the ground, anything except landscape architec-
tural fees). Therefore, the city can give them in kind work and not have to
appropriate any money. Vice Mayor Matson asked if the $5,000 per year for main-
tenance will then be subtracted from the $15,000 that the City has to pay.
Mr. Rosenstock did not know; but from what he understands, maintenance is part
of the in kind work. This was not City Manager Parker's understanding, but she
will have this double checked. She stated that the deadline for the grant was
Friday. The City submitted a grant application with the understanding that if
the City Commission did not approve this item tonight, it would be pulled. If

6, Comments about Fire Department
Commissioner Katz related his experiences with the Fire Department this past
Friday night and into Saturday morning. He thanked Chief Jordan for the cour-
tesy extended him to be able to work side by side with the Firefighters. He
thanked Captain Robert Brown and Paramedic Officer Jim Herig and those on duty
that night in Station 1, Shift C. He assured the residents of the City that
Boynton Beach has the most professional, skillful, knowledgeable and sensitive
firefighters, paramedics and EMTs that any City could ever hope for. He
extended those attributes all the way up through chain of command.
He shared some of his experiences in responding to numerous calls and told of
the sensitivity of Richard Baler and Mike Smollon and the skill and knowledge of
Jim Herig. He stated that the citizens of Boynton Beach are truly blessed with
highly skilled and professional firefighters. He expressed concern about them
being treated by City Administration as though they are rapacious. He stated
that our Administrations, past and present, have created glass ceilings in terms
of promotions for our most skilled and knowledgeable personnel. If this is not
corrected, the residents of the City will not be able to benefit.
He again thanked those firefighers from Station 1, Shift C, and Paramedic
Officer Jim Herig {a 16 year veteran of the Boynton Beach Fire Department) and
Captain Robert Brown {a 20 year veteran), both of whom possess vast amounts of
insight, experience, skill, knowledge, enlightment, perception and profession-
alism. He urged the Commission to do what he did and maybe they will have addi-
tional insight and knowledge on which to base opinions and decisions.

to rabid project
City Manager Parker stated that forty-one invitations to bid were sent out.
However, only one bidder responded with a bid of $18,830 over the City's budget.
She advised that the Recreation and Park Department asked some of the other
landscape contractors why they did not bid and was told that the insurance
requirements were too steep for these smaller contractors and they did not have
a lot of time to prepare their bids. It was recon~nended that this project be
rebid, that the insurance section of the bid document be redone, and that enough
time be allowed for the contractors to prepare a bid. City Manager Parker
advised that the bid could be awarded at the first City Commission meeting in
September.

VII. PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Bill Lynch, 1912 S. W. 16th Avenue, is the President of the Boynton Leisureville
Community Association. On behalf of himself, the Board of Directors, and
Boynton Leisureville, he thanked Mayor Hamening, City Manager Parker, the City
Commission, City Forester Kevin Hallahan, County Commissioner Warren Newell and
his Administrative Aid Mike Bornstein, and Chuck Yanette of Kilday and
Associates for their help and interest in getting the median on Woolbright Road
landscaped from the E-4 Canal to the L-26 Canal.
Henrietta Solomon, 230 N. E. 26th Avenue, stated that since the Civic Center was
renamed Freedom Hall, when she speaks of Freedom Hall, nobody knows what she is
talking about. She felt the Civic Center was a more appropriate name for this
building and asked the City Commission to consider giving it back its original
name. Mrs. Solomon was also happy to see that there are now plans to landscape
North Boynton Beach.
Motion
Commissioner Aguila moved to change the name of the Civic Center back to the
Civic Center. Mayor Pro Tem Bradley seconded the motion, which carried 5-0.
Tim Dillard, 36 Meadows Park Lane, introduced his wife, Beverly and daughter
Elissa. He explained the problems he has been having since September, 1993 with
a swing set he erected on his property. His Association asked him to fill out
an architectural change form for the swing set. He refused because he was the
only one in the Meadows that was required to do so. The Association contacted
Code Enforcement. At that time, there was no policy regarding residential play
equipment. On February 9, 1994, a residential play equipment apparatus policy
was developed. The Dillard's swing set is a little larger than permitted.
Therefore, they were required to obtain a building permit. Mr. Dillard applied
for a building permit on April 27th. It was rejected because no structures were
allowed in the easement. Mr, Dillard stated that before he even applied for a
permit, it was determined that the swing set was not in the easement. Since
that time, Mr. Dillard has obtained easement agreements from all five utility
companies allowing the swing set to be there. Mr. Dillard stated that he was
required to obtain an architectural engineer to design plans for the swing set
to withstand 110 mile an hour winds in the event of a hurricane. He advised
that this swing set can and will be completely disassembled in one hour and fif-
teen minutes in the event of a hurricane.
Vice Mayor Matson has seen many structures of the same type in other areas and
wondered why only the Dillards were cited.
Mr. Dillard advised that this type of equipment is allowed in West Palm Beach
and Delray Beach. He said the new residential play equipment apparatus policy
would make almost every swing set in the City of Boynton Beach illegal.
Mrs. Dillard added that even the metal ones you can buy in the stores would not
met the criteria.
Mayor Harmening suggested directing the City Manager to reimburse the Dillards.
City Manager Parker advised that Mr. Dillard just called her thismorning and
- 13 -

she, in turn, called the Building Department for a briefing. She advised that
former City Manager J. Scott Miller and the Building Department developed this
policy last year. She was not involved in the development of this policy and
has not had a chance to discuss this matter with the Building Department.
Commissioner Aguila felt the policy needs to be revisited.
Notion
At City Attorney Cherof's suggestion, Vice Mayor Matson moved to direct
Administration to suspend enforcement of that provision until it can be studied
a little further and until some feedback from the Building Department is
received regarding the background of those regulations, and to address this
as an agendaed item at the next meeting. Commissioner Katz seconded the motion,
which carried 5-0.

Ronald Last - Lawson, Noble & Associates
South Florida Water Management District and the

South side of the Boynton {C-16} Canal between
Seacrest Boulevard and the F.E.C. Railroad
New Site Plan: Request for site plan approval to
construct a City park to include landscaping,
sidewalks, parking facility and three {3} docks.
Commissioner Aguila asked why we are trying to separate the park from the resi-
dents and only provide them with two access points. He thought we wanted to
encourage the people who live along those lots to use the park and perhaps par-
ticipate in monitoring it. He wondered if we would be closing the park off to
the people who would be using it the most, which are those who live along those
lots, if a chain link fence is put up.
The Recreation and Park Director Charles Frederick and Ron Last, the Consulting
Engineer on this project were present. Mr. Frederick stated that a community
meeting was held with the people who live in that neighborhood, people who were
interested in the park, and the housing groups who were trying to upgrade the
neighborhood, and a plan was developed for this project. The issue of a fence
came up because the residents were concerned about protecting their property
from the people who were going to use the linear park and who were going to use
their property and side yards as a throughfare. Mr. Frederick proposed to offer
each of the residents the option of a gate in their backyard. They would have
the option of locking the gate at their own choosing, and they would have imme-
diate access to the site.

Commissioner Aguila referred to the locked gate on the first lot, closest to the
track. Mr. Frederick advised that there will be a Phase II of this project at
the far eastern end. This has been funded through Palm Beach County for
acquisition and development of 1.6 acres which takes effect October 1st. This
is a temporary gate system until Phase II of this project is developed and
completed.
Commissioner Aguila asked about security and lighting. Mr. Frederick advised
that there is no lighting on the park property. There is lighting in the
parking lot. The park will be closed at dark. The only options for security
are foot patrol by the police during the evening hours, or the hiring of night
park attendants. Commissioner Aguila asked if the Police Department is aware of
this burden that is being put upon them. Mr. Frederick advised that this went
to the Technical Review Board and the Police Department is represented on this
Board.
In response to Commissioner Aguila, Mr. Frederick advised that when this goes
out to bid, everything will be unit priced.
Commissioner Aguila moved approval of this site plan. Commissioner Katz
seconded the motion.
Ms. Simmons, who resides at 239 N. E. 13th Avenue, objected to putting the
parking lot between two residential houses. She stated that there are already
problems with people stealing the residents' hubcaps and tags from their cars.
She did not think gates will protect the residents.
Mayor Harmening pointed out that the residents are in walking distance to the
park and you do not need a lot of parking at a neighborhood park.
Mr. Frederick said the reason parking was considered at the far western end was
that if access is not provided near the dock area, people would park on Seacrest
Boulevard and the side streets. He stated that Phase II will have a parking
lot. He advised that we could look at eliminating the parking lot or reducing
the size of it.
Vice Mayor Matson pointed out that Boynton Lakes Park was only required to have
four parking spaces because of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Commissioner Aguila suggested confirming if parking is needed. If ADA or any
other code requires parking, provide only what is required. He asked if we can
postpone it until Phase II and put it down at that end.
Mr. Frederick advised that the restrooms in this park have been eliminated in
Phase I with the Building Department's permission, with the proviso that they be
built in Phase II. If parking is required, perhaps it can be put in in Phase
II.

Luther King Boulevard, just east of Seacrest Boulevard. The property is zoned
C-2. Upgrading of the parking lot and landscaping is required because square

Ms. Heyden stated that this came before the City Commission on May 17, 1994 for
a new site plan approval. The applicant has returned with some major changes,
which include the deletion of one of the outparcel buildings, which reduces the
overall square footage of the shopping center by approximately 7,500 square
feet. The service area in the rear has been redesigned and shifted, and signif-

icant changes (color scheme and design of the building) to the elevations of the
main shopping center are proposed. The new elevations and the previously
approved elevations were displayed on the easel. The new elevations do not meet
the Community Design Plan.
A condition of approval was that more landscaping be provided, as long as
parking spaces are not deleted. The applicant has considered this; however it
would result in the loss of an entire bay of parking. Therefore, there will be
no additional landscaping. The Planning and Development Board unanimously
recommended approval of this major site plan modification.
Commissioner Katz asked how many spaces comprise an entire bay. Ms. Heyden
advised that an entire bay would be approximately twenty plus parking spaces.
Jill Jarkesy represented McMillen Development Corporation. She stated that the
applicant's architect and site planner did some recalculating and the only way
additional landscaping could be added in front of the main building would be to
lose an entire double row of parking. The national tenants in front of the main
building require a certain amount of parking. She pointed out that 7,000 or
8,000 square feet of restaurant space was deleted to increase the parking spaces
(the forty bays). Additional landscape medians have been provided in that area,
as well as adjacent to the restaurant towards the main shopping center.
Commissioner Aguila had no problem with the site plan. He did feel that the
signage is too big and overpowering; however, it is in compliance with the
Codes.

Ms. Heyden stated that one of staff's comments regarded the sign program. The
Planning and Zoning Department recommended that the signage be revised because
it is not compatible. She asked if the City Commission wants staff to work this
out with the applicant and make the determination as to what is harmonious.

JULY 19, 1994
Ms. Heyden stated that this site plan approval request is for the Barnett Bank
at Boynton Plaza, located at the southwest corner of Boynton Beach Boulevard and
Congress Avenue. They are planning to add an addition which requires upgrading
of the parking lot. In addition, the sand lot is included as part of this
approval to expand the parking lot being purchased by Barnett Bank. The
Planning and Development Board expressed concern about the existing "no right
turn" sign and it was left up to staff to work out a solution with the appli-
cant. With the use of an overhead projector, she displayed and reviewed three
solutions and advised that the applicant did not like any of these solutions.
The applicant was concerned about modifying the driveways because Barnett Bank
currently has a cross access agreement with the shopping center and they feel
any modification would be risking the future modifications of the cross access
agreement and also purchasing of the property.
Con~nissioner Aguila liked what Barnett Bank is doing and felt it is an improve-
ment to the building. He felt the turn was a minor issue. However, he would
like gates on the dumpster enclosure.
George Hohmann, Architect and Project Manager with Scharf Associates, and Don
Zyto, Vice President of Barnett Bank, were present. Mr. Hohmann explained why
the three solutions would not work. He expressed concern about closing off the
access. He said Barnett Bank had put the sign there four or five years ago
because during school hours, parents line up on the bottom of the road along the
fence along the school property to pick up their children. The children jump
over the fence and the parents drive away. In order to get a prime parking spot
there, they come in and make a right turn into the bank property, back out and
come back and pull around, which is hazardous. He said the. other two solutions
described by Ms. Heyden would not prevent a person from making a right turn if
they wanted to. One of the solutions restricts the egress out of the parking
area on the right-hand side. You would be cutting the roadway less than twenty-
four feet wide, which is against the Zoning Code. He advised that if people
cannot make a left turn out of the bank property onto Congress Avenue, traffic
would be turned back into the shopping center, which is going to make it more
congested than it already is. One of the solutions makes it harder for someone
to make a right turn, but it would not prohibit it. Mr. Hohmann stated that
people tend to disobey the "no right turn" sign. He agreed to put gates on the
dumpster.
Hotlon
Commissioner Aguila moved to approve this site plan as submitted, subject to
staff comments and the addition-of the dumpster gates. Mayor Pro Tem Bradley
seconded the motion.
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley asked if the Police Department is aware of the traffic
problem at the school. Mr. Zyto advised that the police are there frequently.
He suggested posting "no parking" signs along the side the road. He stated that
there is a long wait to get into the school grounds to pick up the children and
the parents park all over and block traffic.
The motion carried 5-0.

1, Further Discussion on Augy'$ Restaurant
Commissioner Aguila stated that his intent in asking for further discussion is
that he wanted to make sure that everybody understood what his concerns Were.
He expressed concern about what the neighbors to the south are going to see and
said they have the right to expect some protection from the City so that they
can enjoy their property without being infringed on. He stated that the design
of the project, as submitted, showed a great deal of insensitivity to their
views and that he could not support what was presented initially. He advised
that there are ways of making this work while protecting the residents from any
negative impact. He was concerned that there were no provisions shown on the
site plan for the required can wash, which is usually placed outside the site,
which is already jammed. He wondered where the applicant was going to put the
can wash. He noted that the landscaping on the south side to shield the view of
the building, which is not very aesthetically pleasing, is minimal.
Commissioner Aguila stated that he could be persuaded to support this project if
there was additional landscaping or preferably a buffer wall on the south side
of the property similar to the one at Gateway Plaza.

little differently. It will be like a postal store. There will be counters
inside and everything you want will be out for you to take to a cashier. This
will eliminate long lines. On July 1, 1994, a few changes were made. Those who
have post office boxes at the post office have been getting their mail earlier.
The new post office on Jog Road will be twice as large as the main office. It
will facilitate many of the communities in the western sector and some of the
communities on Congress Avenue. Those communities on Congress Avenue north of
Miner Road and south of Hypoluxo will be balloted. There will be a survey and
if you choose to come into this new post office, you will stop getting a Lantana
zip code. If you do not turn in your ballot, that is considered a "no". We
will be doing a couple of press releases as the time nears. A new mobile unit
should be in service within the next two weeks. This mobile unit will target
retirement communities. They will stay at each location a minium of one half
hour and a maximum of one hour. This will basically be a post office retail
unit on wheels. There is additional parking at the Boynton Beach Boulevard
Post Office immediately west of Congress Avenue.
Vice Mayor Matson advised that people are welcome to join the Post Office
Advisory Council. She said Bill Lynch might be interested in joining. They
have representation from the other section of Leisureville, but would very much
like someone from Section 10.

Automobile Theft Program
City Attorney Cherof read Prosposed Ordinance No. 094-21 by title only.
No one wished to speak in favor of or in opposition to this proposed ordinance.
Therefore, Mayor Hamening declared the Public Hearing closed.
Motion
Vice Mayor Matson moved to approve Proposed Ordinance No. 094-21 on second and
final reading. Commissioner Katz seconded the motion.
Mayor Harmening pointed out that this program could have numerous pitfalls. He
stated that if a person sells his car and does not remove the decal and the new
owner is stopped, the City could be sued.
City Manager Parker stated that the ordinance provides for a consent form to be
signed by the owner of the vehicle. The form states that the owner of the motor
vehicle is responsible for removing the decal when terminating participation in
the program or when selling or transfering ownership of the vehicle. Mayor
Harmenin9 felt this was a catchall phrase that amounts to nothing.
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley asked how long this program has been in existence.
Patrol Captain Ted Padich advised that this program has been in existence all
over the State and country for at least the past two years. In response to
Mayor Harmening, he was not aware of any problems with this program.
City Manager Parker asked if the Commission wished to charge a fee for this
program or have the decals be available at no cost. If the Commission would
like to charge a fee, it would be a minmum of $5 for the decal. Mayor
Harmening, Mayor Pro Tam Bradley, and Commissioner Aguila did not think a small
fee would deter anyone who is interested in this program. Mayor Harmening did
not see any reason for the City to underwrite the cost of this program.

With regard to Section 1205.1.5 and in response to Mayor Harmening, the Deputy
Building Official, A1Newbold, advised that "Deemed to Comply" has not been
eliminated. It has been modified with SSTD 10-93, an improved version which
upgrades some of the standards.
Mayor Harmening was not in agreement with Section 1302.2.7, which states that
the certification and recommendations shall bear the signature and seal of the
engineer certifying the test. He stated that everyone has known for years that
the soils in this area are perfectly good. He pointed out that these tests are
expensive and take quite a bit of time to do.
Vice Mayor Matson suggested sending this section back to the City Attorney to
rewrite it and bring it back at the next meeting. Commissioner Aguila would

Commissioner Aguila asked if it will be policy, before erecting these shelters,
to check with the owners who can see them from their residences or businesses to
make sure they do not object. City Manager Parker answered affirmatively.
Commissioner Aguila suggested documenting these conversations.
Ms. Heyden stated that the Building Official would like to charge a permit fee.
City Manager Parker advised that this is a City facility. Therefore, the City
would be paying the permit fee. In response to Commissioner Aguila, Mr. Newbold

Commissioner Aguila moved to remove this item from the table. Vice Mayor Matson
seconded the motion, which carried 5-0.
City Manager Parker referred to the summary for the five firms that the City
received quotes from. She advised that Law Engineering gave the lowest quote,
not Entek Environmental. She stated that references have been checked and
requested that this resolution be changed to award this project to Law
Engineering.
Commissioner Aguila stated that the packets do not show anything about Gaudet
charging $300 extra for a pre-bid meeting. Pete Mazzella, Assistant to the
Utilities Director, advised that he called Gaudet for clarification because
their quote did not make that specific, even though it was requested that pre-
bid meetings be included. Gaudet advised him that the pre-bid meeting will
cost about $75 an hour for approximately two to four hours. Con~nissioner Aguila
said Gaudet submitted a proposal with a total fee of $8,200 for twenty-one days
and they will have to have a pre-bid meeting based on their submittal.
Commissioner Aguila was disappointed that Law Engineering wanted $800 to prepare
a final report. He stated that the other four companies included this in their
fees. He felt the lowest quote is from Gaudet and recommended awarding it to
them for $8,200 at 21 days. The only flexibility would be the $350 per day.
Therefore, if it takes 20 days, the City saves $350. If it takes 19 days, the
City saves $700, and if it takes 22 days, the cost is $8,550.
Commissioner Aguila moved to award this contract to Gaudet Associates, Inc. for

City Attorney Cherof read Proposed Resolution No. R94-122 by title only.
Mayor Harmening asked City Manager Parker what the other municipalities in the
County intend to do about disposing of their waste. She responded that Boca
Raton does not franchise their commercial accounts. Lake Worth's staff is not
in agreement with this. She believed all the other municipalities are entering
into an agreement with the Solid Waste Authority.
Mayor Harmening stated that this contract is pretty rigid and you cannot get out
of it. He pointed out that they could default on the bonds. City Manager
Parker advised that the County took over the separate authorities based on the
special legislation that was adopted.
Mayor Harmening hated to sign a contract like this that has no escape clause.
City Attorney Cherof suggested writing in an escape clause to permit the City,
under certain conditions and with advance notice, to terminate the agreement.
City Manager Parker advised that the only other option would be to haul it to
Broward County.
Mr. Mazzella asked if this would apply to waste lime sludge from the water

Commissioner Katz noticed that Engineering Department Memorandum No. 94-201
states that the Engineering Department recommends approval of the final plat of

City Manager Parker reported that in the upcoming School Board budget, the
construction timetable for our high school is still listed as TBA (to be
announced or to be determined). She requested the Mayor or one of the City
Commissioners attend a School Board meeting with staff to request that this item
be dated on the priority list because our site is ready to go. When the budget
hearing is set for the School Board, she will let the 'Commission know.
2, Atlantic High School Resolution
City Manager Parker advised that since the last meeting, Commissioner Aguila
determined that this resolution is not needed. Commissioner Aguila explained
that it turned out that he was combining two separate stories. One involved
capital improvements and one involved maintenance and repair. The maintenance
and repair is moving forward. However, as quickly as repairs are made, van-
dalism occurs. Commissioner Aguila has spoken with someone on the School Board
about this and feels the resolution is not needed.
