BIDS

Contract I, 4 MGD Membrane Softening Equipment - West
Water Treatment Plant - Consideration of awarding bid and
authorizing execution of contract (Proposed Resolution

Bo
Contract II, Water Treatment Plant Facilities - West
Water Treatment Plant - Consideration of awarding bid and

Bob Kenyon, Deputy Director of Utilities, gave a history of the
project. On Contract I five bids were received. The low bid was
$2,348,000 with irregularities to a high bid of $3,855,000. The
engineer's estimate in March of 1990 was 3.78 million dollars.
On Contract II eleven bids were received. These range from
$8,950,000 to $10,234,000. The engineer's estimate was 8.52
million dollars. Part of the reason for dividing the project
into these two contracts was because of the specialized nature of
Contract I which is the process equipment versus the Contract II
which is buildings. The lowest three bids for each of the
contracts were thoroughly evaluated. Contract I was evaluated by
CH2M Hill, Stanley Consultants and staff. Staff consisted of
Mike Kazunas, Utility Engineer, John Guidry and himself. These
evaluations were done independently and then collectively.
Contract II was evaluated by Stanley Consultants and by the same
staff previously mentioned. This evaluation included looking at
the base bid, the biggest bid, the O&M cost, the present work,
the qualifications of the bidders, adherence to specifications,
the financial condition of the bidders, and recommendations from
other consulting engineers and people who have previously had
work done by the bidders.
Mr. Kenyon said it has come to his attention there is a formal
protest from one of the bidders. There has been correspondence
from most of the bidders, if not all, on Contract I. These pro-
2
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 19, 1991
tests or correspondence point out the errors, irregularities and
omissions by other bidders, but not of themselves. Upon staff
examination, errors, irregularities and/or omissions were found
on every one of the bids. Staff has evaluated the objections
brought to their attention and found them without merit or
lacking significance. Therefore, on Contract I staff recommends
the lowest bidder, Inscho-Kirlin/Hydropro, be declared nonrespon-
sive and nonresponsible. Staff recommends the contract be
awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, L. A. Water Treatment
Company, in the amount of $2,670,000. Staff recommends proof
testing be conducted as stated in the specifications to verify
the conditions stated in their submittal.
On Contract II, staff recommends that the Pool and Kent Company,
the lowest responsible bidder, be awarded the contract in the
amount of $8,860,000. This amount is $90,000 less than the base
bid because it accepts the deduction for the carbonation equip-
ment which is not necessary based on any of the submittals
received for Contract I.
Mr. Kenyon requested authorization from the City Commission to
assign Contract I to L. A. Water Treatment Company and Contract
II to the Pool and Kent Company.
Dean Bedford, Design Engineer with CH2M Hill of Gainesville,
Florida, talked about the bid preparation and some of the O&M
calculations that were part of the bid evaluation process. He
provided the background on the bid documents for Contract I and
stated the design of the plant was intended to provide the City
with a cost effective and operation efficient facility. He
talked about three of the factors that went into the design of
the facility. Those factors were the three different membranes
pilot tested, bidder qualifications, and bid evaluations.
Ian Watson, President.of Rostek Services Incorporated, Ft.
Myers, Florida, and Membrane Systems Consultant to Stanley
Consultants on Contract I construction phase said he was involved
in advising Stanley Consultants during the evaluation.
Evaluation of the three low bids was thorough and without preju-
dice. It was found that the low bidder, Inscho-Kirlin/Hydropro,
a joint venture, did not meet the minimum experience qualifica-
tions specification. Similarly, a question has been raised as to
whether the experience of L. A. Water Treatment meets the
requirements and specifications. He stated positively that this
company is qualified since he is Process Consultant on at least
two of their projects and consultant to the owner on a third.
Other irregularities and informalities were considered and deemed
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 19, 1991
insufficient to alter the evaluation. The evaluation team,
therefore, recommended to City staff that L. A. Water Treatment
be awarded the contract.
William Sublette, of Orlando, was present, representing
Hydranautics Inc., and lodged a formal protest to the awarding of
this bid. He said the bids of Inscho-Kirlin/Hydropro and L. A.
Water are nonresponsive and have violated the City's bid docu-
ments. He respectfully demanded on behalf of Hydranautics that
the contract be awarded to Hydranautics, as Hydranautics is the
lowest responsible and responsive bidder. He based the objec-
tions on five grounds, which he discussed at length.
Both L. A. Water and Hydropro have violated the instructions to
bidders regarding Contract I because (1) Inscho-Kirlin/Hydropro
is a subcontractor for the mechanical installation of the project
and there is a clear connection between the two entities;
(2) L. A. Water failed to state in their bid package that they
had experience with a programmable logic control type contract,
and Hydropro's experience as a subcontractor on an Acme
Improvement District project does not meet the qualification cri-
teria; (3) L. A. Water has failed to meet the requirement that
40% of the labor on the project be supplied by the contractor;
(Mr. Sublette said that sometime in the bidding process a
handwritten notation was inserted into L. A. Water's proposal
which stated that in addition to the $180,000 worth of labor pro-
vided by L. A. Water, approximately $2,000,000 worth of equipment
and materials will be procured and supplied by L. A. Water
Treatment.); (4) neither L. A. Water nor Hydropro have supplied
sufficient documentation and calculations in support of their
numbers; and (5) Hydropro has failed to meet the requirements of
Florida law which states that a bid on a public works project
must provide certification or proof of certification registra-
tion necessary for the completion of that project which in the
instant case is the general contractor's license.
Mr. Sublette pointed out some of the requirements of Florida Law
and concluded by respectfully requesting the Commission to award
the contract for the West Water Treatment Plant to Hydranautics
as the lowest responsible bidder, or to table the award of the
contract to allow its members to adequately examine and investi-
gate the detailed basis for Hydranautics' bid.
Mr. Sublette said it was recommended in James McLellan's memo to
John Guidry, dated October 28, 1991, that L. A. Water supply
documented operating data for a minimum operating time of 12
months on the FilmTec membrane system. He inquired where that
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 19, 1991
operating data will come from and what the Commission will do if
L. Ao Water is unable to provide that operating data.
Bill Hendershaw, President of Hydropro, 701 North Lake Boulevard,
North Palm Beach, was present and said Hydropro is named as a
mechanical subcontractor in L. A.'s bids, not the joint venture
of Hydropro, Inscho-Kirlin. Inscho provided the GC number as
part of their joint venture documents. He went over some of his
qualifications and addressed some of the comments which
Mr. Sublette had made. He said the main reason Hydropro bid as a
sub is because it is a small business and a small business admin-
istration does not find jobs over a million and a quarter. In
this case they are bidding as a joint venture.
Mr. Kenyon stated this was not an interview process; the bids
were taken on face value. Hydropro did not meet specifications
asa prime contractor; however, he had no qualms about using
Hydropro as a subcontractor.
With reference to Mr. Sublette's argument that L. A. Water does
not have a general contractor's license, Mr. Kenyon said
according to the bid submittal documents, L. A. Water does have a
Florida general contractor's license, as well as a California
general contractor's license.
In response to Mr. Sublette's accusation that a note was penciled
in after bids were opened, Mr. Kenyon said the bids were not
altered in any shape or form after being opened.
Regarding Mr. Sublette's comment about small irregularities in
the bid, Mr. Kenyon said all the bids had irregularities.
Mr. Bedford addressed the issue of 40% of the labor being done by
the contractor. He said one of the requirements of this project
was for a subcontractor to be used to handle the instrumentation
and control. The cost of the instrumentation and control portion
of the project was approximately four to five hundred thousand
dollars. That is about 2.1 to 2.2 million dollars of the 2.6
that was supplied by L. A. Water. The intent of the 40% require-
ment was to insure that the firm providing qualifications for the
project would indeed be providing the equipment.
Concerning documentation, Mr. Bedford said L. A. Water's proposal
listed projects but did not specifically break those down as to
their involvement. Those project were checked on.
With regard to there being a 150 day delay to the project,
Mr. Kenyon said the pilot testing is part of the project and is
not a delay to the project.
5
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 19, 1991
With regard to Mr. Sublette's inquiry as to what would happen if
the test fails, Mr. Kenyon said the City could go to the next
lowest responsive bidder, which is Hydranautics, renegotiate
with L. A. Water, or rebid the project. If the test fails, there
is absolutely no cost to the City.
With regard to delay of the project, Dean Bedford added that the
design provided by Hydranautics is exactly what was pilot tested.
It was felt that in the event there was a problem at the end of
120 days with the design proposed by L. A. Water and the City did
elect to fall back to the next bid, which would be Hydranautics,
that the design they have provided is something that can go
straight to design with and there would be no need to do addi-
tional testing.
Commissioner Aguila asked Mr. Cherof what the Commission's
options were. He found this to be complex and involved and did
not want to make a decision without more feedback. He was in
favor of tabling this as a one item issue to study the issue
further. He felt many legal and technical issues exist.
Commissioner Matson said after reading staff recommendations over
the weekend, she was prepared to make a decision; however, after
receiving further documents tonight and listening to the
speakers, she would like more time to make a decision and she
would like feedback from the City Attorney.
Attorney Cherof said with respect to the legal issues raised by
Mr. Sublette's comprehensive letter to him, a written response
had been made to that by Stephen Bull of Bull and Haggard, the
attorneys for CH2M Hill. Attorney Cherof said he reviewed both
the memorandum and all the cases that have been referenced by
all counsel for the interested parties, including the consult-
ants' attorneys, as well as additional case law not cited by
either one of them, but in some cases which is pertinent to the
Commission's decision making process. He stated the points made
by Mr. Bull in his letter were well taken and his analysis is on
point. The Commission's alternatives for tonight would be either
to be comfortable with the staff recommendations by awarding the
bid in conjunction with their recommendation, to reject their
recommendation and award the bid to one of the alternate bidders,
or to refer the matter back to staff with direction. Attorney
Cherof recommended if the third option was chosen, that staff be
directed to meet with all of the interested parties in a hearing
type setting, permit all of the issues as raised by the memoran-
dum and documentation to be brought out at that time and to make
a detailed and comprehensive report on that additional to you at
6
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 19, 1991
either a special or regular meeting. His recommendation in that
regard would be for the Commission to do it at a special meeting,
where it is the only item for discussion.
Vice Mayor Harmening did not think spending more time on this
issue would solve anything.
Commissioner Matson moved to table this matter and turn it back
over to staff. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion.
Commissioner Matson amended her motion to table this matter until
such time as staff returns a report and to have a Special
Commission Meeting on this one matter only.
Mayor Weiner asked Mr. Kenyon how much time he needed to return
to the Commission to report on the issues raised. Mr. Kenyon
said he could have a report within a month, but did not think
there would be much difference. He thought he had been thorough.
He was concerned about the capacity issue and said the City needs
to move ahead in a timely fashion.
Commissioner Aguila asked Attorney Cherof for direction.
Attorney Cherof advised the Commission they are on firm legal
ground. One factual issue was raised tonight that he was not
sure the Commission has the answer to. Accordingly, he thought
the motion to table was the better motion. He advised the
Commission to inquire whether any of the interested parties
object to this particular procedure and if they will continue to
participate in the procedure by meeting with the City and pro-
viding additional information if possible.
Mayor Weiner asked the parties involved if they had any objec-
tions to this matter being tabled and will they be willing to
participate in the procedure. Mr. Sublette had no ojections.
Frank Inscho, Executive Vice President of Inscho-Kirlin, a divi-
sion of John Jay Kirlin Inc., preferred this matter be resolved
tonight. However, if it was not, he would continue to partici-
pate in the process. He stated he represented the joint venture
of Inscho-Kirlin/Hydropro. Harbans Kohli, representing L. A.
Water Treatment Corporation, had no objections.
The motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Kenyon asked Mayor Weiner if it would be possible to have a
Special Commission Workshop Meeting on this. Mayor Weiner
replied that Mr. Miller will set up a Special Commission Meeting.
Vice Mayor Harmening moved to table Contract II.
Aguila seconded the motion which carried 5-0.

AMENDMENT - Request to amend the Future
Land Use Element of the Comprehensive
Plan from "Moderate Density Residential"
to "Office Commercial" and to rezone from
R1AA/PUD (Single-Family Residential) to
C-1 (Office and Professional Commercial).
Mr. Cutro said this is a request for rezoning a 2 acre parcel of
land located on the south side of West Boynton Beach Boulevard
about 300 feet east of Leisureville Boulevard. Staff recommends
approval of this item based on a recommendation that was made to
this Commission approximately 15 months ago in which rezoning of
this property to C-2 was considered. The Planning and Zoning
Board reviewed this at their meeting last Tuesday and recommended
approval of the petition with the change in the language, the
rezoning, and the text change, with the conditions that are
attached to the backup material. The major condition is that the
property will be limited to 1,191 trips. The Planning and Zoning
Board relieved the one story limitation; however, the maximum
that can be built in that area is two stories. If approved by
the Commission, it will be sent to the State for review.
Kiernan Kilday stated the conditions for approval have been met.
This Commission previously denied the request for C-2 zoning
because they felt C-1 was more suitable. He mentioned that a few
neighbors were concerned about the site not having drainage, and
as part of the TRB process, applicant will have to provide
drainage on the property.
Gary Lehnertz of 619 S. W. 2nd Avenue expressed reservations to
this rezoning stating this area is surrounded by residential
property and there is an excess of commercial property in the
City. He said the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Amendment
indicate the City should refrain from rezoning residential land
to commercial along Boynton Beach Boulevard and Old Boynton Road.
He felt this property could be developed as residential property.
Commissioner Aguila moved to deny this application for rezoning,
land use amendment, and text change. Vice Mayor Harmening
seconded the motion which carried 5-0.

C. Selection of Bond Counsel for Refunding the Recreation and
Municipal Beach Facilities Bonds, Series 1983; the General
Obligation Bonds, Series 1985; and the General Obligation
Bonds, Series 1988
Mark Raymond, partner with Moyle, Flanigan, Katz, Fitzgerald and
Sheehan in West Palm Beach stated his qualifications and referred
to the National Association of Bond Lawyers' booklet entitled The
Selection and Evaluation of Bond Counsel, specifically the
chapter dealing with the criteria an issuer might consider as
important in the selection and evaluation of its bond counsel.
He reviewed some of those criteria and how his firm met those
qualifications of expertise, experience, capability, conflicts,
fees, and loyalty to clients.
Mr. Raymond had a fee proposal with him and tendered it to the
Commission, stating if the Commission selects his firm, that
would be their binding fee proposal, not subject to adjustment,
for all services from start to finish on this bond issue. The
proposal contained both the fee and the out-of-pocket expenses,
which are both fixed fees.
Mayor Weiner asked Attorney Cherof that since price is a con-
sideration in this matter, and Mr. Raymond has submitted a closed
envelope, if the public is entitled to have the envelope opened
and the price given, and so that the Commission can make its~
determination. Attorney Cherof advised the Commission can make
their first determination based on qualifications and defer with
respect to price.
Howard Whitaker, partner with the law firm of Greenberg and
Traurig, having offices in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm
Beach, said Jim Vance, the senior partner of Vance and Doney,
will be his co-counsel, and felt his qualifications were
transcending and discussed some of them. He did not have a
sealed bid with him but stated he would submit one if the
Commission so desires.
Jim Vance of Vance and Doney stated his qualifications and said
he would be happy to discuss fees after the Commission makes its
decision.
Commissioner Matson asked all three parties if they carried pro-
fessional malpractice insurance and if so, does it cover securi-
ties transactions. Mr. Raymond said his firm carries
9
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 19, 1991
professional liability insurance in the amount of $5,000,000
which specifically includes public finance activities.
Mr. Whitaker said his firm carries malpractice insurance in the
amount of $20,000,000 with another ten or twenty million umbrella
over that. Mr. Vance said he has not looked at his policy in
that respect, not anticipating the question. His firm carries
malpractice insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 and will also
be writing under Mr. Whitaker's company. Mr. Whitaker added that
with the amount of insurance Greenberg and Traurig has, the City
would be adequately protected.
Commissioner Matson asked Mr. Vance what bond issues he secured
as bond counsel to the underwriter or the issuer other than as
City Attorney. Mr. Vance replied that he did an issue approxi-
mately two years ago for Palm Beach County Educational Facilities
Authority in the amount of $5,000,000.
Commissioner Matson asked Mr. Vance how many deals other than
Boynton Beach issues he worked on with Mr. Whitaker. Mr. Vance
said he worked with Mr. Whitaker on bond issues for the Lake
Worth Utilities Authority. The largest issue was in the range of
$40,000,000. He did numerous issues with him while he was City
Attorney of West Palm Beach. He was local counsel with
Mr. Whitaker on quite a number of issues for the City of Boynton
Beach, including two of the issues that are being considered for
refinancing tonight.
Commissioner Matson asked Mr. Whitaker what his rating was.
Mr. Whitaker did not believe he had one and said he did not know
what it meant with regard to legal abilities, financial solidity
or anything else.
In response to Commissioner Artis, Mr. Vance said he has no
conflict of interest with the City of Boynton Beach. He is
currently representing the City of Boynton Beach in a lawsuit.
Mr. Whitaker said he had no conflicts either.
Commissioner Matson moved to select Moyle, Flanigan, Katz,
Fitzgerald and Sheehan, P. A. as Bond Counsel. Commissioner
A~uila seconded the motion which carried 3-2. Vice Mayor
Harmening and Mayor Weiner cast the dissenting votes.
Mayor Weiner declared a short recess at 8:38 P. M.

PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Ralph Marchese of 1901 Roma Way requested the Commission to let
the Governor know the City of Boynton Beach still needs a bridge
at Boynton Beach Boulevard. Mayor Weiner assured Mr. Marchese
the Commission would do everything they could to make this a
reality.
Susan Kolvin of 623 West Ocean Avenue, Lake Boynton Estates, said
her property is adjacent to the land on Northwest 1st Avenue
where manufactured housing is being placed. The developers have
piled their dirt on the back of her property without her per-
mission. She complained to Code Enforcement two to three weeks
ago and received no response. She then spoke to Wilfred Hawkins.
After that the developers made an attempt to cover the dirt. The
dirt is still blowing onto her property. She has a swimming pool
that has been rendered useless because of the dirt blowing onto
her property.
Vice Mayor Harmening suggested the Building Department be
instructed to immediately shut the entire job down until the dirt
is removed from Mrs. Kolvin's property. Don Jaeger said one foot
of dirt was on Mrs. Kolvin's property. He had the dirt moved
back and covered; however, during the course of construction, the
dirt sometimes becomes uncovered. He said he can monitor this
situation better, and the contractor has been trying to deal with
this situation. Commissioner ~Aguila said he would go out to the
site next to Mrs. Kolvin's property the first thing tomorrow
morning. Mayor Weiner assured Mrs. Kolvin the problem would be
resolved.
David Floering of 2616 Northeast 3rd Street said ten months ago
when four of the members of this Commission were candidates, one
of the main issues was that the City needed to improve its pro-
fessional image. He said there presently still seems to be
problems regarding matters dealing with City staff and City
employees.
Mayor Weiner interjected that she cannot allow his speaking about
personnel matters. She advised that City Manager Miller handles
all personnel matters for this City, including the Commissioners.
and that City Commissioners do not take actions against City
employees.
Rev. William Albur¥ said there was a fire last Thursday which
rendered 13 people homeless. That building is being repaired.
Meanwhile, he obtained another piece of property and asked the
Commission for $1,000 as a legal binder on the property. Mayor
Weiner enlightened the Commission regarding this situation and
11

informed Rev. AlbUry that she contacted Remar Harvin, Director of
County Housing and Community Development. Mr. Harvin said he
would try to find an abandoned building the County owns in the
City that is not in too bad shape and is not planned on being
demolished. She expects Mr. Harvin's reply tomorrow or the next
day, and advised Rev. Albury that the City has had financial
problems and cannot offer him dollars. She told him the City can
try to find a suitable building and try to help restructure that
building through the Community Redevelopment Agency. Rev. Albury
expressed his appreciation to Mayor Weiner.
Commissioner Artis said she visited these homeless people and
they informed her of some fines and code violations that are
against the building they are temporarily using and are trying to
purchase. She wondered if the City would relieve the finds and
liens and allow them to take care of the violations.
Commissioner Artis said they told her there are some contractors
that have agreed to do the work on this piece of property once
they have the deed.
In response to City Manager Miller, Rev. Albury said the address
of the property is 527 Northwest 10th Avenue.

NOVEMBER 19, 1991
At this point in the meeting, Commissioner Aguila returned.
Mr. Cutro said this is a conditional use and site plan that was
reviewed last night by the CRAB. The conditional use is to allow
residential construction on this property. Petitioner is seeking
to build a 25,668 square foot mixed use building which would be
comprised of 6,000 square feet of retail space, approximately
6,000 square feet of office space, and 13 living units without
any parking. The CRAB approved it; however, there were concerns
from them concerning the technical aspects spelled out in the
backup in the staff comments that have to be addressed. These
are things that are normally addressed in the rectification pro-
cess and would have to be corrected prior to the plans being
approved. The Board also expressed some doubt as to whether or
not the project would be buildable. However, they gave
Mr. Livingston the benefit of the doubt and forwarded it to the
Commission with a 3-1 recommendation on the site plan, not on the
conditional use. Staff and the CRAB recommended approval of
this. The only condition that was changed last night was the
color of the building. The building will be peach, as opposed to
beige, which is required by the Downtown Guidelines.
The Commission viewed a rendition of the proposed marina project.
Craig Livingston of 323 North Federal Highway, the architect
representing the owners, discussed urban code versus suburban
code. He said one of the unusual features of the property is
that it is probably four fifths under water. There are 28
parking spaces in front of the building and are not included as
part of the Lighthouse Square Marina parking calculations. As
part of the Lighthouse Square approval, staff specifically said
these will not be included in the Lighthouse Square parking
calculations; they will be reserved calculations on the proper-
ties to the south, of which the Sea Mist Marina will have the
benefit of the 28 spaces. He talked about it being mixed use.
He said they had the option of filling in the canal and building
a parking lot. Based on the requirements of the City ordinances,
they would be required to have 75 spaces, of which 28 are already
on site. There are 111 parking spaces in the immediate area of
this project. He hoped with projects like this going forward
there would eventually be additional parking lots. They have had
great interest as far as people wanting to purchase the units.
They already have four or five people signed up for the office
space.
Mayor Weiner said she was unable to attend the CRAB meeting last
night to listen to the discussion and she does not have the

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

Minutes of that meeting before her. She noticed from Mr. Cutro's
memo that the vote was 3-1 and asked Mr. Cutro what transpired at
the CRAB meeting.
Mr. Cutro said the concerns raised last night revolved around the
elevation of the street versus the elevations of the building.
There is a 2½ foot elevation change in a very small area that is
going to have to be negotiated. There were also questions of how
to access the property and whether or not the sidewalk should be
provided on site or off site.
Vice Mayor Harmening said you cannot negotiate floor level. FEMA
sets the flood plain elevation for this City, and in order to
maintain the City's position in FEMA's insurance program, the
flood plain elevation must be enforced.
Mr. Cutro said he did not have any intention of issuing a permit
for that. This process is not driven by staff; it is driven by
the applicant. Staff makes the comments and the applicants have
to rectify the comments. Staff does not have any ability to tell
the applicants beforehand to rectify the plan.
Discussion ensued regarding FEMA requirements and elevation.
Commissioner Aguila felt the project would jam the site and he
was concerned with the lack of landscaping.
Commissioner Aguila moved to approve the conditional use, and to
separate the site plan approval from this approval until such
time as the comments and conditions are studied further and
brought back to CRAB and to the City Commission. Commissioner
Matson seconded the motion which carried 4-1. Vice Mayor
Harmening cast the dissenting vote.

Mr. Cutro said this is a request to add parking to an existing

Boulevard. The property is presently zoned CBD. It would

upgrade a situation where a building has no parking at the
present time. It only has a gravel parking lot. When you have
an improved parking lot, there is potential here for a future
expansion of this building; however, that is not being proposed
at this time. Staff recommended approval of this with all the
conditions. The CRAB recommended approval of it with the con-
ditions that are attached to the backup material.
Robert Fetrow with Gator Engineering Services, 200 Knuth Road,
Suite 214, Boynton Beach, was present and stated he is proposing
a parking area for the use of this facility, which is a doctor's
office.
Commissioner Aguila inquired why there wasn't a dumpster or pro-
visions for a dumpster on the site. Mr. Fetrow said they have a
shared agreement for use of the dumpster at the Western Auto
store next door. City Manager Miller advised that Western Auto
is not locked in by the agreement. Therefore, if they decide not
to share the dumpster, Dr. Love would have to get his own recep-
table, and Public Works would have to select a suitable site for
it.
Other remarks were made by Commissioner Aguila clarifying that no
stipulations or guarantees went with this approval as far as the
building is concerned.
Commissioner Aguila moved to approve this request for site plan
approval to construct a parking lot, subject to staff comments.
Commissioner Matson seconded the motion which carried 5-0.

In answer to a question by Commissioner Aguila, City Manager
Miller said if someone really technical was needed, the City
could seek Gee and Jenson; however, the bulk of the work could
certainly be done by in-house engineers.
Charles Frederick said as part of this project, he would like to
not only repair the damage to the south center ramp, but also to
extend that ramp further and add a section of stairs to the far
south access point to the beach to alleviate the steep problems
in accessing from the ramp to the sand.
Commissioner Aguila thought this project could be done in-house
to save expense, and thought this project should have gone to
bid.
Mr. Frederick talked about commencing this project now because of
permit problems and construction problems during turtle season.

D. Other
Review of proposed policy setting forth criteria and
prerequisite for accepting letters of credit by the City
in conjunction with developers' agreements, contracts, and
other contractual obligations
This is a proposed ordinance regarding revised language per-
taining to policies for acceptance of letters of credit, and
Attorney Cherof asked the Commission to consider it for first
reading. Attorney Cherof thought that with the decline of the
banking industry and name changing of banking institutions, it
was time for the City to modernize its language with respect to
standards for accepting letters of credit. This has been
reviewed by the Finance Department and the procedures set forth
in it are amenable to and functional for them.
Vice Mayor Harmening liked this idea, but asked what would happen
if a particular bank the City had received a letter of credit
*from was taken over by another company. City Manager Miller said
the City would then be stuck.
It was the consensus of the Commission that the above proposed
ordinance come forward for first reading.

Commission's authorization to proceed with this work program.
Vice Mayor Harmening moved to authorize the work program to
proceed on the boardwalk and other structures at Oceanfront Park.
Commissioner Aguila seconded the motion.
Vice Mayor Harmening expressed concern that the City's in-house
forces were being cut short in order to take care of relatively
major tasks. Mr. Frederick said Gene Lusk, Facilities
Superintendent, indicated he may hire day labor to supplement
the work process.
The motion carried 5-0.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Items for discussion requested by Mayor Arline Weiner
1. Task Force on the Elderly report
Mayor Weiner reported that approximately 25 people attended the
first meeting of the Task Force on the Elderly on November 14,
1991 and remarkable progress was made. The Chair and Vice Chair
have been elected and four committees were formed. They went
through objectives and goals. Their second meeting is scheduled
for December 5, 1991. The third meeting is an open meeting with
Congressman Harry Johnston on Tuesday, December 10, 1991 in
Commission Chambers from 2:00 P. M. to 4:00 P. M.
2. HRS Update
Mayor Weiner reported that she and City Manager Miller went to
see a couple of the patrons of HRS a couple of weeks ago and they
were very helpful and seemed very enthusiastic about bringing HRS
programs into the City. Since that time, the Governor has
changed the way HRS is going to be handled in order to reduce
costs and make it more efficient. He has changed the districts
so that Palm Beach County will now be one district of HRS.
3. Countywide Planning Council resolution for repeal
Mayor Weiner reported there is now an opportunity to repeal the
Countywide Planning Council to sunset it, which has to be done 30
days before January 1, 1992. She requested the Commission's
authorization to have the City Attorney draw up a resolution to
put the City on record as repealing the Countywide Planning
Council.

information from City Manager Miller this afternoon regarding
a woman who was cleared by HR~'~O have an HRS-~home care center in

tional license.
B. Items for discussion requested by Commissioner Lynne Matson
Collection of food and goods for the underprivileged
through the Dick Webber Center of Boynton Beach
Commissioner Matson stated the Dick Webber Center works with
families from Boca Raton to Jupiter. She expressed concern with
the people in Boynton Beach that they are serving and requested
the Commission's approval to put two moving barrels wrapped in
Christmas paper in the lobby to collect clothing and food for the
needy families in Boynton Beach only. She volunteered to
purchase the barrels herself if she could not get a moving com-
pany to donate them, saying this would not cost the City
anything.
It was the consensus of the City Commission to approve
Commissioner Matson's request.
D. Proposed amendment to the lease agreement between the City of
Boynton Beach and the Concessionnaire on the lease conditions
and rental payments at the Bait Shop at Boat Club Park
Mr. Frederick said the Concessionnaire is basically trying to
salvage his business, still get a fair rent and provide a service
to the park. He said Mr. Wilson felt this was a fair arrangement
and will do his best to make it work.

them to assist the City the best they could in appropriating
dollars for this project. He reported that D.N.R. requested

Restoration project, and the decision to fund the project is now

D. Consider approval of Change Order ~17 for extra work at Ezell
Hester Park on the ceiling in the Concession Building
City Manager Miller said the original plans called for all the
ceilings in the restrooms, concession area and storage room to be
5/8" sheetrock. Upon considering the use, abuse and vandalism
expected at this facility, a stucco or wire-lath ceiling is
recommended.
Commissioner Aguila moved to approve Change Order 917 for Ezell
Hester Park. Vice Mayor Harmening seconded the motion which
carried 4-0. Commissioner Matson had not yet returned.
E. Consider approval of Task Order No. 19 - Ecological Services
for the Relocation of Gopher Tortoises (on the 7.87 acre tract
of land south of the East Water Treatment Plant) and prepara-
tion of a Site Management Plan
Peter Mazzella, Assistant to the Utilities Director, said this
Task Order is the next step in the development of ~he site which
was purchased earlier this year. WRen the site was purchased,
Gee and Jenson and CH2M Hill provided an environmental assessment
to see what was on the site. This Task Order involves a system-
atic count of the gopher tortoises on site to see how many there
are, an evaluation of a relocation site, and the actual reloca-
tion of the tortoises to another site. They are looking at the
Ezell Hester preserve site, but first they have to count how many
there are and get a permit from the Florida Game and Fresh Water
Commission. This study also entails doing a tree survey for all
trees that have to be preserved or relocated, and detailing the
exact location of the approximately 0.75 acre preserve which will
be set aside.
Commissioner Aguila felt $33,500 was a high figure. Mr. Mazzella
said because the site is overgrown, they do not know how many
trees have to be surveyed. It would cost $12,000 for the tree
survey portion from local surveyors who are familiar with the
site. The gopher tortoise assessment, the counting, and reloca-
tion study comes to approximately $17,000. Funding will be pro-
vided by the Utility Capital Improvement Fund.
Commissioner Aguila moved to approve Task Order No. 19.
Mayor Harmening seconded the motion which carried 4-0.

Commissioner Aguila requested Mr. Mazzella to keep track of the
expenses so that he could see what the project cost at the end.
At this point in the meeting, Commissioner Matson returned.
F. Authorize amendment to Appendix A-Zoning, to include limita-
tions on restaurants located in the C-1 zoning district, sub-
ject to conditional use approval
Mr. Cutro said this is a request to authorize staff to prepare a
series of conditions for restaurants in the C-1 zoning district.
The Planning and Zoning Board discussed this. It was their
feeling that the original recommendation that they made approxi-
mately a year ago regarding restaurants had been somewhat taken
out of context with regard to the Buschs' Restaurant request.
Because of that they asked staff to see if they could come up
with some conditions. The conditions are in the backup.
Mr. Cutro asked for authorization to go to the City Attorney and
together they will write up an ordinance that would place those
conditions in there and bring it back to the Commission in two to
four weeks.
Vice Mayor Harmening was in favor of it only if it is more
restrictive. Mr. Cutro assured him it would be more restrictive.
Mayor Weiner felt restaurants should be allowed to serve alcohol.
There was discussion about allowing the restaurants to serve
alcohol, and about the square footage of the buildings.
It was the consensus of the Commission to authorize Mr. Cutro to
work with Attorney Cherof on an ordinance amending Appendix
A-Zoning to include limitations on restaurants located in the C-1
zoning district, subject to conditional use approval.
