the problems the residents of Citrus Glen are experiencing. He pointed out that

first was from Congressman Harry Johnston, congratulating him on his fine years
of service to the community. The second letter was from William A. Graulnick,
Regional Director of the American Jewish Committee. This letter salutes

Remarks by Co~lsstoner Walshak:
Commissioner Walshak congratulated Mayor Pro Tem Matson and incoming Commission-
er Matt Bradley. Their victories were overwhelming.
Commissioner Walshak stated that he has read many articles regarding factional-
ism. He said this reminds him of Henry Ford who said, "Thinking is probably the
hardest work one can do; that's why so few of us do it". There has been no fac-
tionalism on the dais for the past two years. There have been differences of
opinion, and that is the purpose of electing individual Commissioners. Good
debate results in what is best for the citizens. Commissioner Walshak is proud
of the time he has spent working with this Commission.
The Commission, collectively, was responsible for demolition of the water plant.
The City has the best water service system in South Florida. That is the result
of the efforts of the Commission. The City has a sewage system which is second
to none. He praised the Police and Fire Departments. The paramedics are also
second to none in the County. This Commission brought ALS transports to the
City. There are only two cities out of thirty-seven which have done that.

keep ad valorem taxes down. This Commission did not always agree, but collec-
tively, it has done a wonderful job. He saluted his fellow Commissioners and
hopes they continue to do a wonderful job.
Renmrk$ by Vice HayorAgulla:
Vice Mayor Aguila agreed with much of what was said about Commissioner Walshak
during this meeting. There are issues which probably would have been ignored if
they were not brought forward by Commissioner Walshak.
Vice Mayor Aguila pointed out that the Commission collectively makes decisions.
He appreciates every point of view in order to make a decision. Having an open
mind will result in serving the City in the best way possible. A great deal of
time and dedication is necessary to perform this job. Vice Mayor Aguila feels
the Commission has done a good job and thanked Commissioner Walshak for his
efforts.
Remarks b_~ Cm~mlssloner Katz:
Commissioner Katz pointed out that in a rainstorm on a Sunday, in a small sub-
division known as Costa Bella, Commissioner Walshak visited Mr. and Mrs. Graham
to be certain that they were not under water. Commissioner Walshak was respon-
sible for getting Public Works to that site to handle the problem. He is a man
who cares about everybody. He is gracious, and kind. He urged everyone in

sidered general equipment expense from the Police Department regular fiscal year
budget under "Capital".

Chief Dettman advised that the officers are individually fitted. The purchases

purchase order.
Motion
Commissioner Aguila moved approval. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.
D. Sale and disposal of surplus/obsolete computer equipment
Commissioner Aguila inquired as to whether or not staff has contacted non-profit
organizations who sometimes solicit the City for donations.
City Manager Miller said much of this equipment is not utilized and some of it
requires repairs. Also, some of the equipment is obsolete and parts are no
longer available. He is not aware of any organizations which might want the
equipment.
Motion
Commissioner Aguila suggested an effort be made to contact the non-profits, and
then beyond that, he moved that we follow the recommendation to dispose of them.
Commissioner Katz seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
E. Sale and disposal of surplus/obsolete items such as office furniture,
office machines, equipment and miscellaneous items
City Manager Miller advised that there are no values on these items. They are
auctioned and the City accepts the highest bid.
Notion
Vice Mayor Matson moved to approve. Mayor Pro Tem Bradley seconded the motion,
which carried unanimously.
F. Consider installing high voltage wires at Well #IW underground - West
Boynton Beach Boulevard bordering Sun Valley East
Mayor Harmening said the Utilities Department proposed two alternatives with
regard to high voltage wires at this location. The first proposal is to install
the high voltage wires underground. The second alternative would be to install
six disconnects so that the lines can be deenergized whenever work is required.
City Manager Miller and staff prefer that the lines be installed underground for
safety and because there could be power strikes on the connects and disconnects
on the switches.
Notion
Commissioner Aguila moved to go underground on this wiring.
Mayor Harmening explained that there is an advantage of going underground. With

having to kill all six of those disconnects,
Hotlon
Vice Mayor Matson moved to approve the installation of the Florida Power & Light
high voltage wires at Well #1 underground. Commissioner Katz seconded the
motion, which carried unanimously.
G. Change Order #1 - Johnson-Davis for Costa Bella Subdivision Stormwater
Drainage Project
City Manager Miller advised that a Change Order has been developed whereby the
line of trees will be removed and the rear yard easements will be used. The
cost of that Change Order would have been $39,325 over and above the contract
price of $57,200.
While in discussions with the residents, who were very upset, one of the neigh-
bors decided to grant the easement to allow the City to go through the side of
his yard, out to the street. He requested $7,400 for the easement. The use of
this easement will reduce the cost of the contract price to $51,905. The net
savings of the overall Change Order will be $37,220.
Staff requires authorization to go forth with the proposal. There is a tem-
porary construction easement of 10' and a permanent easement of 7'. The
Resolution in the packet is to accept those easements.
City Manager Miller commended City Engineer Jim White for bringing this project
in line with regard to costs.
Commissioner Katz also congratulated Mr. White for this project, and noted that
there were residents of Sky Lake present in the audience who wished to speak on
this project.
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley feels the resident who came forward to assist with this
project should also be commended for his action.
Hotion
Commissioner Aguila moved to approve Change Order #1 for Johnson-Davis. Vice
Mayor Matson seconded the motion.
~oleen Rasmussen~ 508 H_W loth ~o~ said she saw markings in her front yard and
learned from neighbors that The City received an offer by a neighbor to sell an
easement so that they would not have to go through the back yards to fix the
drainage problem in Costa Bella. Her front yard is small. She has learned that
the City intends to install a grate in the front yard. That grate would be
located directly opposite her front door. She asked for support from the City
if problems arise because of the intended plan. She further requested the resi-
dents be kept informed of any changes which might occur.
Ms. Rasmussen also mentioned that the resident who made the offer to the City
approached her in November and asked for her support to keep the City from going
-9-

I~IARCH 15, 1994
through the front yards. She asked that the City do everything it can to pre-
serve the good will among the neighbors. She further pointed out that the
neighbors who have the trees on their property would like them removed. They
are hurricane hazards. She asked for consideration from the City in removing
them.
Vice Mayor Matson questioned whether or not approval from all residents was
necessary to go through the front yards. City Manager Miller advised that the
City will be going through the right-of-way.
Commissioner Aguila asked whether the inlet location is negotiable, and the
response from City Manager Miller was in the affirmative.
Ms. Rasmussen explained that her swale is on the curve. She would like the
grate to be on the north side of her driveway so that it will not be visible by
her or her neighbors.
Mr. White said there was discussion with some of the neighbors and the general
opinion was that they were opposed to seeing the grates. The contractor plans
to cover all of the structures and there will be no inlets. There will be
approximately 6" to 8" of soil and sod. The probability of needing access to
those areas is very limited. The difficulty of locating them under the soil and
sod is minor and the residents would be more comfortable.
There is one possible exception to this plan. If a structure is necessary in a
paved area or under a driveway, concrete cannot be put over it because it would
block future access. In such a case, a manhole would be installed flush with
the pavement.
Commissioner Aguila asked for clarification of this project. Mr. White
explained that the project will provide a positive outfall pipeline from the
retention basin which is undersized. The water originates in a storm retention
basin in Costa Bella. It is excess water which cannot be retained in the reten-
tion basin. It is transported through the pipe to the E-4 Canal.
Ms. Rasmussen stated that she will be happy with the plan as long as she cannot
see the grates or structures.
Frank Houston~ 600 NW loth Court~ said many residents are upset with what will
happen to their homes to facilitate the drainage of two homes in Costa Bella.
He also spoke about the attitude of the contractor when discussions were held
with the residents. The residents want to know who their recourse will be with
if the driveways crack down the road, and if the sod dies within three months.
The contractor's response was that he wished he had never been on this job. Mr.
Houston asked for assurances that any problems developing from this project will
be dealt with through the City. They do not want to contact the contractor.
City Manager Miller provided Mr. Houston with his assurances and those of the
City Engineer. Mr. Miller stated that the City will hold a performance bond
during the tenure of the job. The City will ensure that the job is properly
done.

Mr. Houston questioned whether or not the drainage of Sky Lake will be affected
by this project. City Manager Miller advised that their drainage will not be

water.

H. Receive and File Departmental Activity Reports
Motion
Commissioner Aguila moved approval of the Consent Agenda with the exception of
Item C-1 under Resolutions. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the motion, which
carried 5-0.
Proposed Resolution No, R94-45 Re: Authorize execution of
agreement between the City of Boynton Beach and Southern Star Event
Services, Inc. to provide security guard services for the 1994
Boynton GALA
Commissioner Katz realizes that this proposal will save the City approximately
$1,650; however, the G.A.L.A. has been successfully operated over the years
without the use of rent-a-cops. The presence of Boynton Beach Police Officers
deters crime and protects the vendors. He would prefer that Boynton Beach
Police Officers are used for the event.
Mr. Frederick explained that the City did not break even on last year's G.A.L.A.
The City's Police force will be used; however, these security guards will
supplement the force at less critical points. They will be used at offstreet
locations for traffic control. The certified Officers will be used at main
traffic crossings and during closing.
Commissioner Aguila referred to the Police Department's new program which
educates citizens about the workings of the Department. He questioned whether
or not a volunteer force has resulted from that program which would allow the
City to use volunteers rather than hire security guards. Chief Dettman advised
that no volunteers have been solicited during this program, but it is a consid-
eration for the future.
Commissioner Aguila explained that he has no problem with the use of security
guards at this function. Mr. Frederick advised that the Recreation Department
has attempted to use volunteers, but it is difficult to make sure they will be
dependable and reliable.
Discussion ensued regarding whether or not the security guards would be armed.
Mr. Frederick was not certain of the answer, but believed they are armed guards.
Vice Mayor Matson feels that the use of security guards in less strategic areas
will save taxpayers money.
Motion
Vice Mayor Matson moved to approve Proposed Resolution No. R94-46. Commissioner
Aguila seconded the motion.
Commissioner Katz asked the maker of the motion to amend the motion so that the
Resolution will include a stipulation that the security guards are not armed.
He also asked Chief Dettman if he was comfortable with this proposal. Chief
Dettman responded affirmatively.

armed guards if the company will not permit them to operate without arms;
however, if there is an option, he would prefer them to be unarmed.
Vice Mayor Matson withdrew her motion.

t4INUTES - REGULAR CITY COHHISSIOH HEETING
BOYNTOH BEACH, FLORIDA
I~IARCH 15, 1994
The Crom Corporation has been in existence since 1953, and has built over 1,900
prestressed concrete storage tanks. Their traditional market has been in ground
storage tanks. Crom has been a leader in the industry by introducing a steel
diaphragm which will guarantee the water tightness of the prestressed concrete
wall. They were also the first with wastewater tanks where tanks within tanks
were built to save space.
Mr. Hanskat displayed slides of a prestressed concrete tank which was built at
ground level and then jacked up into place using precast segmental leg sections.
The overall height of this tank is 123 feet.
The major reason for considering a prestressed concrete tank is the reduction of
maintenance costs. There is a substantial differential between the cost of
prestressed concrete and steel, but those costs can be justified. Mr. Hanskat
presented a slide which showed that over a period of thirty years, there was a
$289,000 differential in maintenance costs between concrete and steel.
In building a prestressed concrete tank, Crom Corporation uses a 50% to 75%
local labor force including carpenters, laborers and iron workers. They also
use local materials.
With regard to wind, it has been determined that concrete is much more resistant
to wind forces. The walls are very thick and the resistance to buckling in high
winds is greatly enhanced in comparison to a steel tank. Mr. Hanskat explained
that prestressed concrete is used to eliminate cracks. Prestressing introduces
compression in the walls. As long as there is compression, cracks are elimi-
nated and water tightness can be guaranteed.
In the United States, there are many steel tanks; however, the Europeans use
elevated concrete tanks because of their belief in the longevity of the
material. He showed an example of what the Boynton Beach tank will look like.
It will have a cylindrical pedestal which flares up into a conical shape. The
conical bowl contains the water. It will also have a domed roof.
The Boynton Beach tank will have a matte foundation of reinforced concrete. The
cylindrical pedestal will sit on that foundation. The conical wall is the most
important part since it will hold the water. The domed roof will finish the
project.
Crom Corporation has built the largest egg-shaped digesters in the United
States. They are 135 feet tall and 85 feet in diameter. They were more
complicated to built than an elevated tank.
A slide of the scale of Boynton's tower was shown. The City decided to go for-
ward with no paint. However, they did select a concrete-colored coating. It
will contain raised aluminum letters, bronze in color. The slide depicted the
tank with backlighted letters. The contract contains lighting of the tank from
underneath. That lighting will light the cylindrical pedestal and conical
walls.
Commissioner Katz questioned why the Purchasing Agenda Memorandum shows the
amount budgeted at $1.5 million when this project will cost $2.2 million. He
- 15 -
#INUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COHNI$$ION NEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
I~IARCH 15, 1994
asked how this project became $700,000 over budget. Mr. Guidry explained that
the $1.5 million figure is incorrect. There is $2.3 million in bond money which
has been allocated for this project. City Manager Miller directed Commissioner
Katz to Tables 5-1 and 5-3.
Mr. Hanskrat explained that the slide showing the thirty-years of maintenance
costs was produced for ground storage tanks. No slide was produced for the ele-
vated tank. The consulting engineers provided that information. Mr. Hanskrat
explained that they have experienced sharp increases in the cost of repainting
elevated steel tanks. It is not uncommon to see a full shrouding of the ele-
vated tank while it is being repainted. In addition, the tank must be out of
service when the recoating is done.
Bob Kenyon explained that the cost of repainting a steel tank would be approxi-
mately $250,000 every five years. He also pointed out that when the City's
present tank was repainted, 140 cars were painted along with it. There were
numerous claims against the City at that time.
Pete Mazzella advised that in 1992, CH2M Hill did a predesign report on the
storage tank facility. They did a present worth analysis which took into
account the cost of each type of structure and long-term operation and main-
tenance costs. The 1½ million gallon concrete elevated tank came in with a
present worth cost of over $100,000 less than a steel tank. That present worth
accounts for inflation, future costs and lost interest on those costs. The
price proposed today was less than the estimated capital costs the consultants
used in 1992, and it includes additional features not included in the study.
In response to Commissioner Katz' question regarding wind force, Mr. Hanskrat
stated that the prestressed concrete tank tends to be stronger in regard to
buckling strength because of the thickness of the walls. There is much more
buckling resistance. Crom Corporation has had numerous tanks go through
substantial hurricane forces, and they have all survived. Crom will design this
tank for the wind load similar to how a steel tank would be designed.
Commissioner Katz asked if Crom will guarantee the wind load. Mr. Hanskat
stated they will sign and seal all the drawings to meet the Codes.
Commissioner Katz questioned whether Crom Corporation has ever built a 1½
million gallon elevated storage tank in the United States. Mr. Hanskat
explained that the 3 million gallon digesters were 135 feet tall and have twice
the capacity of the elevated tank.
Commissioner Aguila feels confident this is the way to go; however, he feels the
letters will require maintenance. He questioned whether or not there has been
any consideration given to casting a concrete form to create 'the letters. Mr.
Hanskat advised that they have cast logos and letters in the past. These let-
ters will be approximately 150 feet off the ground. Crom felt that the change
in color and the raising of the letters would be a more attractive option.
These letters will be made of a very heavy gauge aluminum, and according to the
supplier, they are successful in this environment.
Commissioner Aguila confirmed that~if Crom Corporation is awarded the contract,
they will be responsible for everything from beginning to end, including the
- 16 -
HINUTE$ - REGULAR CITY CONNI$SION HEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
I~IARCH 15, 1994
design, the building, the implementation, the training, etc. He also confirmed
with Mr. Hanskat that their insurance would have the proper coverage so that if
during construction the bid documents are missing something, the City will not
see any change orders. The $2.2 million contract covers everything and if Crom
misses something, they are responsible. Mr. Hanskat committed Crom Corporation
to supplying the elevated, watertight tank which will hold 1½ million gallons
of water.
After discussion about the tank with ridges as displayed on the slide, a deci-
sion was made to go with a smooth cylinder.
Vice Mayor Matson confirmed that the aluminum letters would be attached with
anchor bolts into the concrete of the tank, and will be designed to take the
wind loads.
Commissioner Katz questioned whether or not there were other bids submitted on
this tank. Mr. Guidry explained that staff was guided to get to an elevated
concrete storage tank by several Commissions over a period of many years. The
earliest Commission guidance was in 1989 after many chain events took place.
Staff has been with this project for a long time.
In November, 1993, the Commission directed staff to go out for the proposal for
the elevated concrete storage tank. Only one proposal was submitted, and that
was from Crom Corporation. There was another firm in Miami which was capable,
but they did not submit a proposal. A steel storage tank has not been
addressed.
Commissioner Katz inquired as to the cost of a 1½ million gallon steel tank.
Mr. Guidry was unable to answer that since staff was directed only to consider a
concrete tank.
Don Na$on, of P~ttsburc~h-De$ NoShes, is an engineer and salesman. PDM builds
elevated steel water storage tanks across the United States. He explained that
PDM did not respond to the Request for Proposals because it was structured so
that only builders of concrete elevated tanks could bid or offer a proposal.
PDM is concerned about the fact that this type of structure has never been built
anywhere in the United States. This design will be a new innovative design.
PDM has built 3 million gallon tanks throughout the U.S. Further, Mr. Nason
said cost should be an issue and stated that PDM submitted bid results from
around the country showing that a 1½ million gallon steel storage tank averages
$1.1 million.
Mr. Nason submitted a letter from PDM's legal department stating their opinion
that because they City has only received one bid, and it is not a competitive
bid, the City may be violating Florida law.
Vice Mayor Matson inquired as to what brought Mr. Nason to this meeting. Mr.
Nason responded that he has been calling every two weeks to determine when this
item would appear on the agenda so that he could appear. Vice Mayor Matson
advised Mr. Nason that this project had been workshopped.

Commissioner Aguila moved that we award the contract to the Crom Corporation for
the construction of a 1.5 million gallon elevated concrete tank. According to
the Tabulation Committee they meet bids and specifications. I would like to
award that contract in the amount of $2,201,780. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the

Data Acquisition Control Contract - Consideration of awarding bld to
Engineering Software Services, Inc, and authorization to execute
contract (Proposed Resolution No, R94-49)
Pete Mazzella explained that there will be one more contract, Contract #7, which
will bring the controls up to speed at the East Water Treatment Plant with the
remainder of the system.
This contract is for the local area network which provides the interface points,
the PCs, software, etc., to tie together the various part of the water system.
In response to Mayor Harmening's question regarding whether or not the software
will do the job, Mr. Mazzella stated the City will take their performance bond
if the software does not do the job.
Commissioner Aguila noted that Utilities Department Memorandum No. 94-069 dated
March 4, 1994, stated Open Systems Technologies was the low bidder, but there
were irregularities. He questioned whether or not any additional information
had been received from them since that time. Mr. Mazzella responded negatively
and explained that they had an opportunity to clarify and meet the specifica-
tions, but nothing has been forthcoming.
Motion
Commissioner Aguila moved to award the bid to Engineering Software Services,
Inc., for the local area network service in the amount of $199,457.99. Mayor
Pro Tem Bradley seconded the motion, which carried 5-0.

DEVELOPMENT PLANS:
A. Amendment to the C1t~'$ Zoning Code to set forth regulations for boat
canopte$
Mayor Harmening reminded the Commissioners that the Planning and Development
Board unanimously voted to recommend the prohibition of boat canopies. Both he
and Vice Mayor Matson were in agreement with that recommendation.
Commissioner Aguila does not have a problem with these canopies. He was in
agreement with the Planning and Development Board's recommendation to reword
Section 4.0, Paragraph 2.
Commissioner Aguila asked for clarification on the terminology of Item 3.c. on
Page 3 of the Planning and Zoning Department Memorandum No. 94-058. It reads as
follows:
"Boat shelters shall be located only in the side or rear
yard at least twelve (12) feet from the principal building."
Ms. Heyden clarified that the boat shelter cannot be any closer than twelve (12)
feet.
Commissioner Aguila further questioned Item 4.a., which reads as follows:
"Boat shelter width shall be no larger than twice the width
of the dock and no longer than the length of the dock."
Commissioner Aguila asked for clarification on the width and length of a dock.
Ms. Heyden stated that she had problems with this, but determined that the width
is probably the least dimension. Commissioner Aguila feels Item 4.a. should
read as follows:
"Boat shelter width shall be no larger than twice the width."
Following a great deal of discussion, it was Mayor Harmening's opinion that this
amendment will create problems in the future. Vice Mayor Matson agreed, and
feels this is another useless Ordinance. She pointed out that there is concern
about wind load requirements, aesthetics and obstruction of view because of
these canopies. Vice Mayor Matson also stated that according to the Planning
and Development Board meeting minutes, this is something which is being done for
one .person.
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley felt that a canopy over a boat will cause more of an
obstruction of view for a neighbor.
Vice Mayor Matson stated that she would not want her view obstructed if she
lived on waterfront property.
Notion
Vice Mayor Matson moved to deny this. Mayor Pro Tem Bradley seconded the
motion, which carried unanimously.

HINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMNISSION HEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 15, 1994
Ms. Heyden advised that the reason the item came up was that the shelter was
inside the property line and the setback problem arose. Had it been outside the
property line, and proof could be shown that the outside agency approvals had
been secured, the shelters would probably be allowed with no restrictions from
the City. Mayor Harmening disagreed with this interpretation. Attorney Cherof
also disagreed with this interpretation.
B. Site plan modification - Boynton Lakes Plaza Buffer Wall (Boynton Lakes
Boulevard and Plaza Lane)
Ms. Heyden made the presentation and explained that this City Commission
required a six foot high buffer wall as a condition of the original site plan
for Boynton Lakes Plaza. The purpose of this wall was to screen the center from
the adjacent residents.
During a construction inspection in January, it was found that the outside wall
height, at various points along Boynton Lakes Boulevard, was less than six feet
in height. At the first corner, the wall is only 3½ feet high. An interim
determination was made that the wall would have to be reconstructed so that all
points along the outside would be six feet in height. Based on that determina-
tion, the developer is requesting that the wall be allowed to exist as is at the
reduced height.
Ms. Heyden reminded the Commission that the wall is not required by Code. The
Boynton Lakes Homeowners' Association has indicated that the reduced height of
the wall is acceptable to them. Based on that, staff recommends that the
request to retain the buffer wall at the reduced height be approved.
City Manager Miller reiterated that there were discussions with several members
of the Homeowners' Association. He understood that it was not acceptable to
them, but they did not want to be blamed for making the contractor reconstruct
the wall.
Vice Mayor Matson spoke with several of the residents directly affected. The
dumpster was two feet higher than the wall. The residents were upset with the
fact that not only were they seeing the two feet of dumpster above the wall, but
there was also garbage piled on top of that dumpster. Ms. Parker arranged for
the delivery of a smaller dumpster, and additional trash pick-ups while the
center is being stocked. Furthermore, the dumpster now has a sloped top which
will not permit stacking of trash on its top. The residents are now satisfied
with the situation. They are concerned with the aesthetics of the wall if it
changes. They do not want stepping.
Brad Norrill~ I Hastings Lape~ polled the Board and the majority felt the wall
was nicely built; however, they were annoyed that there was never a determina-
tion regarding how the six feet height is measured. The buffer wall was to
screen the Plaza from the residents' view, but instead, the wall buffers the
community from the Plaza's view. The residents got less than they bargained for
and the solutions may be worse. The fences surrounding the dumpsters are still
very visible because of the height of the wall. The homeowners are only happy
with what they have now because they are fearful the contractor may make matters
worse. He suggested that the City initiate a Code to address these situations.

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
HARCH 15, 1994
Vice Mayor Matson wondered if the dumpster enclosure could be lowered. Ms.
Parker stated that the dumpster is the smallest one which can service the Plaza.
It is two inches above the top enclosure. If the enclosure is lowered, the
dumpster will be more obvious. If the dumpster enclosure height is increased,
it will be very obvious above the top of the wall.
Mayor Harmening feels it should be a standard operating procedure that the six
feet shall be measured from the highest point of ground anywhere around the
property.
Commissioner Aguila is pleased that the residents feel they reached a solution,
but realizes they are doing that because they feet it is the least of two evils.
When Fru-Con appeared before the City Commission on July 20, 1993 to request
support for different versions of the wall, Commissioner Aguila made it clear in
his motion that they were to build an eight inch concrete block wall, built to
Code, 6 feet high, stuccoed on both sides and painted, and the cap should be
sloped so that it drains. The purpose of the wall is to protect the residential
property. There is enough precedent in the City to suggest that it is measured
from the residential side. He does not feel the residents should have to live
with a step wall or a smaller dumpster. He suggested the average elevation be
found, measure it six feet high and build the entire length with no less than
six feet on the residential side. He does not believe we should settle for the
least of the evils.
Commissioner Katz asked Attorney Cherof if he supported Commissioner Aguila's
position that the City could defend this position. Attorney Cherof feels that
position is how the City has interpreted situations in the past. When there is
not a fixed elevation everywhere, an average is used.
Mr. Morrill is concerned that if the wall is brought up to the six foot height,
the colored stucco may not match unless the entire wall is recovered with that
colored stucco. Commissioner Aguila pointed out that the developer must be con-
cerned with that point.
Hotton
Commissioner Aguila moved that this wall needs to be six feet high, concrete
block and stucco, painted on both sides, with a sloping cap, measured on the
residential side. Commissioner Katz seconded the motion.
In response to Commissioner Katz' question, Commissioner Aguila said his
original motion did not include the phrase "measured on the residential side".
The motion carried 5-0.
C. Western boundar~ annexation program update
Commissioner Aguila left the meeting.
Mike Rumpf made the presentation. He reminded the Commission that staff was
directed to Phase II of the annexation program, which is the unincorporated area
to the west. These areas are contiguous to the City's boundary and have
agreements for water service. The areas include:
- 21 -
HINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
HARCH 15, 1994
1. Area #34 - This is the Palm Beach Groves property which is an
agricultural and retail business.
2. Area #32 - This is a partially-developed Fox Hollow community.
3. Area #23 - This is the Knollwood Groves agricultural and
retail business.
4. Area #19 - This is the Salsalito Groves.
5. Area #3A - This is the Health Care Center nursing home on Old
Boynton Road.
6. Area #3B - This is the Greentree Plaza I.
With regard to contiguity, Area 32 is the least contiguous which created a large
unincorporated enclave. Area 19 is contiguous, but would create a small
enclave.
Regarding development potential, two of the sites are currently being considered
for development. In Area #32, the remainder of the property has been sold and
could be the site of single-family homes. One of the owners contacted the City
inquiring about utility services. In Area #19, the agent for the property owner
has indicated that they would not oppose annexation as long as it does not delay
the processing of their development plans which could be initiated at any time.
They have a current plan in Palm Beach County for that property. In discussions
with the agent, Mr. Rumpf indicated to him that the City would be more in favor
of allowing them to initiate the process within the City if we are to annex the
property.
With regard to property owner opinion, all affected owners have received a
letter about the City's plan. To date, numerous residents of Fox Hollow and
representatives of Knollwood Groves have contacted the City. Of the forty-five'
owners in Fox Hollow, twenty-three are opposed and ten are in favor of annexa-
tion. Knollwood Groves does not oppose annexation, but they are concerned that
their business not be negatively affected by the annexation. Staff addressed
their concerns.
Staff is prepared to begin annexation. There is an April 1st deadline which was
established in connection with the Land Use Plan Amendment process.
In response to Commissioner Katz' question regarding creation of the enclaves,
Mr. Rumpf explained that following this annexation, the City would then be able
to go back in to annex the enclave as long as the legislation is still in force.
Mr. Rumpf feels there will probably be objections to the two areas because they
create enclaves; however, the City can argue the merits of annexing these prop-
erties.
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley asked for an explanation on how the water agreements
affect annexation. Mr. Rumpf explained that there is an annexation clause in
the water service agreements so that they agree to annex when the City is ready,
according to State Statutes.

Mr. Rumpf advised that the City is absorbing the costs associated with this
annexation and it is logical to process as many as possible in one group to
minimize the advertising costs.

Commissioner Katz moved to direct the Planning Department to file all the
necessary applications for the all the properties shown here tonight. Mayor Pro

that the records have been checked, but the search has been unsuccessful.

(located in Boca Raton) to hold a carnival at the Glendale Federal Bank
property located on the southwest corner of Congress Avenue &
Woolbrtght Road from March 30, 1994 through April 3, 1994
Motion
Commissioner Katz moved to approve. Mayor Pro Tem Bradley seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor Matson advised that she received a lot of complaints from residents
following the last carnival. These students are from Boca Raton, and she has a
problem understanding why they could not find a location in Boca Raton. This
corner is being used for carnivals week after week, and the residents are upset
by it.
Bob Goldmacher, Glendale Bank Manager, 1609 S, Congress Avenue, said that since
he has begun managing the bank in April, 1993, he has committed himself to the
youth of Palm Beach County. He is concerned with the fact that there are not
enough funds for education and school supplies. He is further concerned with
gangs, drugs and guns. In the summer of 1993, he raised over $9,000 worth of
school supplies. He raised several thousand dollars for the milk fund to allow
the children of Poinciana School to have milk with their lunch.
In December, the Boynton Beach Police approached him for assistance in raising
money for R.A.P and D.A.R.E. He agreed with their proposal for a carnival. At
- 23 -

the same time, he contacted Mr. Dennis Sweetapple and offered a way to help him
send future marketing leaders to their competition.
Glendale Federal has set up a rewards system at Poinciana School and Congress
Middle School. Through the bank's own purchase, they handed out 400 to 500
tickets for the upcoming carnival.
There was not supposed to be a carnival for Atlantic High School. Project
Graduation needed a place to hold the event, and Mr. Goldmacher provided that
location. They did not secure the proper Police coverage for the event. Mr.
Goldmacher did have proper coverage for the Police event and has secured the
proper coverage for the DECA event. He has arranged for the music to be cut
down at 10:00 p.m. He has dealt with the complaints which were minor. When the
customers learned about the event, many provided donations for the schools. Mr.
Goldmacher has agreed not to hold any additional carnivals for the next nine
months.
Vice Mayor Matson stated that this carnival, if allowed, would be in direct com-
petition with a carnival already scheduled by Boynton Beach students. She
further suggested that this group seek approval from its own city. She
questioned why the City of Boca Raton would not permit this carnival in their
city. Mr. Goldmacher said no one would allow it.
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley feels Mr. Goldmacher's commitment to education is
admirable and inquired as to how many complaints were received. City Manager
Miller stated he received several, but he is concerned with these carnivals.
Once problems are experienced, a City generally does not allow them again. He
is also concerned with the fact that Spanish River High School is not located
within the City and Boynton Beach students do not go to that school.
Mr. Goldmacher stated that he made a commitment to Spanish River before he dealt
with Atlantic High School.
The motion failed 2-2.

Mayor Harmening advised that he originally had reservations with this Ordinance.
After giving this some thought, he now feels it is necessary to take a stand.
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley asked for background on this Ordinance.
Officer Jeffrey Woods advised that this Ordinance is similar to the one .used in
the City of Miami and Metro-Dade. Their Ordinances have been tested in court
and have been upheld. Their Ordinance has been in effect since 1988. Green-
acres has also used this same Ordinance and it has curtailed their problem. It
- 25 -
'HINUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COI4HIS$IOH HEETING

HARCH 15, 1994
will provide more specifics in fighting the crime of graffiti. Officer Woods is
currently dealing with a business manager who has had $4,900 worth of damage in
a one-month period.
Commissioner Katz questioned how this Ordinance would address the $4,900 worth
of damage. Officer Woods explained that this would give the Police another
working tool to go after the people commiting the crime and letting them know
the City is taking an active stand in fighting the crime.
Commissioner Katz asked how this Ordinance would mitigate the problem of the
property owner if the Police knew who had committed damage. Officer Woods said
the Police Department would ask for restitution in prosecuting the case as part
of a plea bargain or an opportunity to plea bargain. This Ordinance will pro-
vide a way into the court system. In Miami, the Ordinance was used successfully
and restitution was made.
City Manager Miller advised that the restitution does not always have to be in
the form of money. It can involve community service hours.
Vice Mayor Matson advised that her husband manages a property in Greenacres and
he has seen a 50% decrease in graffiti since the inception of their Ordinance.
This Ordinance is needed because of the influx of crime and vandalism in this
City.
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley wondered how businesses are handling the situation now.
City Manager Miller advised that the City works with them to the best of its
ability. Some of the businesses have been hit many times. It is important to
stay on top of the situation.
Officer Woods advised that a meeting will take place on Friday to discuss more
proactive steps by the Police Department.
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley feels that at times, the victim may be punished. Our
Codes require business owners to keep up the property. Graffiti is a situation
which must be tackled hard.
Commissioner Katz stated that he initially was concerned with creating a second
victim. He has resolved that problem in his own mind. If the Police Department
feels this is a good tool, he will support it.
City Clerk Sue Kruse polled the vote. The vote was 4-0.

species
Mayor Harmening feels this Ordinance is unnecessary. He does not feel the City
should regulate the removal of these exotics. The State is trying to get every-
one to remove them. One bad experience should not necessitate an Ordinance.
Kevin Hallahan, Parks Division, said this policy is the result of an activity on
a vacant lot on Congress Avenue. Staff can address the present Ordinance or
- 26 -
'HINUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COl~I$$ION #EETING
BOYNTOH BEACH, FLORIDA
HARCH 15, 1994
comply with this amendment. He feels this Ordinance is very restrictive because
it refers to parcels of only one-half acre or more. The exotics removal which
is already incorporated with the Tree Preservation Ordinance encompasses most of
the activity the City will deal with.
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley questioned the benefit of this amendment. Mr. Hallahan
feels the benefit will be the resolution of issues which were not brought to the
attention of the Engineering or Building Departments which issue the permits.
Presently, the Ordinance requires a permit for removal of everything except
exotics.
Mayor Harmening does not see the need to get all of the City departments
involved when someone wants to remove the exotics.
Ms. Parker stated that another reason for this amendment was that staff was
interpreting the previous section to not require a permit for the removal of
exotics; however, the current City Attorney has provided an interpretation that
a permit is required under the current Ordinance. Mayor Harmening disagrees
with that interpretation. Attorney Cherof advised that if the Commission has
the same consensus, that interpretation would be controlling.
Ms. Parker provided a background for Mayor Pro Tem Bradley. Although no permit
for the removal of exotics has been required for the last thirteen years, the
City Attorney has provided his interpretation that a permit is required.
Attorney Cherof advised that he made the ruling because the property owner used
the short provision of the Code to do land clearing which is prohibited without
a permit. Mayor Harmening explained that this only happened because the parcel
was full of exotic trees. Attorney Cherof explained that someone from the City
needed to establish that fact prior to the removal.
In response to Mayor Pro Tem Bradley's question, Mayor Harmening feels
homeowners will remove less exotics if this amendment is passed.
City Manager Miller suggested increasing the acreage to two acres rather than
one-half acre.
There was a consensus of the Commission to change the acreage to two acres.
Attorney Cherof advised that would involve an amendment to Sections 2A and 2B.

Proposed Resolution No, R94-50 Re: Full Surety Release - Boynton
Lakes Plaza, Tract "B", Shopping Center {southeast intersection of
Congress Avenue and Hypoluxo Road}
Mayor Harmening felt the Commission may not want to release the full surety
since the developer has been directed to correct the height of the wall. City
Manager Miller stated that the proposal is to decrease their surety to $25,000.
Attorney Cherof advised that this Resolution authorizes the reduction in credit
by Credit Suisse from $219,698.33 to $25,000, but it declines acceptance of a
substitute Letter of Credit for $25,000.
Commissioner Katz questioned the reasoning behind the decline of the Letter of
Credit. AttorneY Cherof stated that they had offered to provide a $25,000
Letter of Credit from Credit Suisse and cancel the original Letter of Credit.
Under the new Letter of Credit policy adopted by this Commission at the last
meeting, Credit Suisse is not a qualified company to issue a Letter of Credit
within the City. Therefore, the City cannot accept the new one, but can reduce
the one approved under the previous Ordinance. Credit Suisse is not qualified
because it is an out-of-country bank and they failed the listing requirements.
Commissioner Katz asked for Attorney Cherof's opinion on whether or not the
Commission should allow the surety to be reduced to $25,000 after the events of
this evening. Attorney Cherof did not feel the rebuilding of the wall was
included in the $25,000. City Manager Miller advised that the City controls the
Certificates of Occupancy for that Plaza, and the City will hold up the COs for
any businesses going into the Plaza until the wall is satisfactory. He further
stated that the developer is aware of this.
After discussion, City Manager Miller suggested reducing the surety to $35,000.
Motion
Commissioner Katz moved to approve Proposed Resolution No. R94-50 with the
change of the amount of the Letter of Credit to $35,000. Vice Mayor Matson
seconded the motion, which carried 4-0.

OLD BUSINESS:
A. Discussion on Cemetery Board/Mausoleum ,,.,,,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, TABLED
City Manager Miller advised that this item should remain on the table.
B. Consider feasibility of traffic light at Citrus Cove Elementary School
on Lawrence Road
Motion
Vice Mayor Matson moved to table. Commissioner Katz seconded the motion, which
carried 4-0.
C. Update on Citrus Glen Subdivision (public improvements)
Attorney Cherof reported that he, City Manager Miller, Mayor Harmening, Felix
Granados and representatives of the homeowners' association met two weeks ago
and devised a checklist of items. He provided a copy of the developer's
response to the package. City Attorney Cherof feels the meeting was productive
and feels all parties are headed in the right direction.
He requested the Commission direct City administration to stay on top of this
matter and take whatever steps are necessary administratively to stay on track.
Motion
Commissioner Katz moved to direct staff to make arrangements and take whatever
steps are necessary to bring this to a successful conclusion.
A resident from 201 Citrus Trail, feels the residents have no guarantee that Mr.
Granados will complete the work he has already started. He requested a guaran-
tee from the City that the wOrk will be done.
Mayor Harmening explained that the open-ended motion was to allow staff latitude
to deal with this situation.
Attorney Cherof advised that in light of the multiple threats of litigation
involving the City, the homeowners and the developer, he did not feel it was
appropriate to negotiate how to resolve this in public. The City has recourse
if it is not satisfied and the homeowners have recourse.
Jerome Yawnlck~ 211 Disc Orlve~ is Treasurer of the homeowners' association of
~'Gl'en. He requested everything be put in writing. He wants the develop-
er's feet held to the fire.
Attorney Cherof advised that the document is in writing and has been sent to the
attorney for the homeowners' association and he will counsel them on whether or
not to sign it.

~INUTE$ - REGULAR CITY COIIMI$$IOH HEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 15, 1994
Bob Frledman~ Vice President of the homeowners' association, has participated in
all of the negotiations. The homeowners are not happy with Mr. Granados' reply.
They are unhappy with the arrogance of the developer's attorney.
In response to City Manager Miller's question, Mr. Friedman stated he had seen
Attorney Cherof's letter to Karen Zann today at a meeting with Mr. Granados.
Mr. Granados makes many promises, but after seeing the letter and the attorney's
comments, Mr. Friedman feels the City should go after him any way they can. He
feels the City is responsible for releasing the bonds.
Jonathan Dwork~ 1540range Drlve~ advised that he has all of the minutes and
tapes of previous meetings where Mayor Harmening felt the bonds were grossly
underestimated from the beginning. The homeowners will be left with a choice of
suing a corporation or suing the City. He feels the COs are the homeowners last
resort of getting things done right. Without an order to stop issuance of the
COs, the homeowners have no protection. Mr. Dwork said time is running out. If
this community is not protected, it might be the downfall of the City. Mr.
Dwork feels the Commission has an opportunity to protect the residents, and if
they choose not to, it is their right.
Mayor Pro Tem Bradley seconded the motion, which carried 4-0.
De
Approval of Indemnification - Proposed Resolution No. R94-$1
Re: Execution of Agreement between the City of Boynton Beach
and DLW Productions, Inc. - "Under Fire: South Florida's 911"
Attorney Cherof advised that this Resolution is a follow up to the City Commis-
sion's approval of the program "Under Fire: South Florida's 911". DLW Produc-
tions, Inc. provided a letter of indemnification which Attorney Cherof found
insufficient. At 5:04 p.m. today, a different version was received and it was
found to be an acceptable form.
Mayor Harmening feels the letter is in form, but questioned what backs up their
surety. Attorney Cherof advised that there is no surety for the indemnifica-
tion. Mayor Harmening questioned whether or not there was a certified financial
statement. Attorney Cherof responded negatively. Mayor Harmening pointed out
that the City has no way of knowing if their surety is of any value and he will
not support this.
Commissioner Katz is supportive of showcasing the City on television, but he
does not want to put the City at risk. He asked if information could be
gathered to describe West Palm Beach's experience with this company. Attorney
Cherof advised that West Palm Beach approved an agreement with them and is
indemnified as well as Delray Beach. However, he does not know if they asked
for a financial statement.
Motion
Commissioner Katz moved to table. Vice Mayor Matson seconded the motion, which
carried 4-0.

OTHER:
Ms. Heyden asked for clarification on how to enforce the Site Plan Rider
Ordinance. She questioned whether the City Commission wishes staff to attach it
to the site plan applications, major modifications and minor modifications.
City Manager Miller and Mayor Harmening responded that it should be attached to
the major modifications.
Ms. Heyden wondered about the function of the Site Plan Rider if someone applies
for modification. Attorney Cherof advised that it ensures that a year after the
representations are made publicly, the City has a written document to enforce
the representations. City Manager Miller cited the situation with the Waffle
House whereby they made representations relative to the color of the building
and the roof.
