ORGANIZATIONAL MATTERS
1. Adoption of Robert's Rules of Order
Commissioner Weiner commented on recent Palm Beach Post
articles which contained remarks made by Mayor Moore which
~he found offensive. She referred to Robert's Rules of
Order, page 543, the paragraph entitled Offenses Elsewhere
Than in a Meeting. This refers to penalties which may be
imposed on any member of a committee found guilty of conduct
Which would hamper the committee in its work. Commissioner
Weiner read this material out loud as well as material from
page 35 which indicates speakers should avoid injecting per-
sonal notes into debates and should never make allusion to
the motives of members. On page 36 material indicates the
presiding officer cannot interupt the person who has the
floor as long as that person does not violate any of the
assembly's rules. Other material was referred to from page
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 3, 1990
331, 540, 541 and 555. Under Section 2-11 of the City's
Code, Commissioner Weiner explained the Chair should be held
to the same standards as any member. If the Commission
adopts Robert's Rules of Order, the entire Commission must
agree to abide by them.
City Attorney Cherof read Resolution No. 90-VV by title
only:
"A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE 1981 EDITION OF
ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER (LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CARD NO.
ISBN 673-15471-8) AS OFFICIAL RULES OF ORDER."
Vice Mayor Wische moved to adopt Resolution No. 90-VV.
Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion.
Commissioner Olenik did not think Commissioner Weiner's
remarks were out of line as they dealt with the essence of
what Robert's Rules of Order contain. Comments were made
about the City Attorney serving as a Parliamentarian at the
Commission meetings. Mr. Cherof suggested the Commission
adopt a motion to that effect.
Discussion took place between Commissioner Olenik and Mayor
Moore regarding the statements made in the press. Mayor
Moore felt fabrication sometimes can take place on the part
of the press and he explained the reasons he felt this way.
Specific comments were made about a Palm Beach Post
reporter. Reference was made to the Commission Mission
Statement which had not been formally adopted by the
Commission yet. Disagreeable conversation took place
regarding incidents in recent months. Commissioner Weiner
alluded to disrespect on the part of the Mayor.
A vote was called on the motion to approve Resolution NO.
90-VV. The motion carried 5-0.
2. Establishing Roll Call Voting Procedure
City Attorney Cherof read Resolution No. 90-WW by title

PROCLAMATIONS
APRIL 3, 1990
a) Neurofibromatosis Month - April, 1990
b) Arbor Day - April 13, 1990
Mayor Moore indicated these Proclamations would be signed
and forwarded to the appropriate parties.
Discussion - Proposal Re~ardin~ Restaurant Tax
Mayor Moore referred to a~recent article in the newspapers
which referred to remarks made by Commissioner Olenik in
connection with an idea to tax restaurants. The Mayor
assumed Commissioner Olenik had been lobbying in this
regard and asked by what authority Commissioner Otenik had
gone to Representative Steve Press to lobby adoption of the
legislation without the Commission knowing about it. The
Mayor asked how Commissioner Artis and Commissioner Weiner
knew about this if there was not a violation of the Sunshine
Law.
Commissioner Olenik referred to the legislative delegation
meetings and stated representatives from the City of West
Palm Beach had asked the delegation for a Meals Tax District
which would run from Riviera Beach to Lake Worth. The
monies could be used to build an auditorium/convention
center in the West Palm Beach area. The delegation embraced
the idea, but raised the issue of possibly making this
County-wide for other beneficial purposes. Representatives
Frankel and Liberti were supportive of this. Commissioner
Olenik indicated he didn't discuss this with anyone. It was
brought up at the legislative delegation meeting. Over the
weekend, in the legislative prelude which appeared in all
the newspapers, Commissioner Olenik noted it was mentioned
by at least three of the legislative delegation members that
they would like to make this one of their local issues.
Knowing that the City would still like to have a new Civic
Center in the City and the funding is not available,
Commissioner Olenik commented that perhaps we could get
funding through the meals tax.
Commissioner Olenik stressed he never violated the Sunshine
Law. Heated discussion ensued. Commissioner Olenik
repeated he had not done pre-lobbying on this and had not
approached anyone. This was an issue the City of West Palm
Beach talked about and the legislative delegation decided
themselves they might want to expand it.

BIDS
A. City of Boynton Beach - Five Medians on Federal Highway -
Landscaping and Irrigation
City Manager Miller explained the bids received for this
project ranged from $49,720 to $84,244. We had an antici-
pated budget of $90,000 on this project. The first two
lowest bidders did not meet the specifications entirely.
The next lowest bidder that met all requirements was Siga,
Inc. at a low bid of $76,656.49. Therefore, the bid was
recommended by staff. This project will be State assisted.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to award the bid to Siga, Inc.
Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion.
Mayor Moore made remarks about a court case in Tamarac,
Florida, where decorative rock was placed in a roadway
median by the City and a drunk driver hit the rock and was
killed. The Mayor had serious reservations about putting
items in the medians that could result in liability. The
Mayor suggested tabling this until the Commission could
receive legal input in this regard. He also questioned the
maintenance the City must provide and the amount of water
required.
City Manager Miller referred to DOT speeifications limiting
a tree trunk size to 4" in diameter. Commissioner Olenik
suspected if the DOT was telling the City what it can plant
in the medians, that this was tested and true. Mr. Miller
indicated the DOT had tested the liability aspect of it.
Commissioner Olenik felt the landscaping added aesthetic
value to Federal Highway. He hoped the landscaping used
would be of a water conserving nature.
A vote was called of all those in favor of the motion to
award the bid to Siga, Inc. The motion carried 4-1. Mayor
Moore voted against the motion.
PUBLIC HEARING
None
PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Mr. William Schultz, 620 Hillcrest, Boynton Beach, addressed
the Commission. He indicated he had served as an alternate
member of the Planning & Zoning Board for several years. He
stated he had been requested by a City employee to resign
from the board "as he had been looking into things." Mr.
Schultz declined to identify the employee, whom he indicated
no longer works for the City. Mr. Schultz had independently
researched the number of City residents and non-residents
using the boat ramps. He calculated that only 8.3% of the
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 3, 1990
people using the ramps were from Boynton Beach. He
suggested a beach and boat permit be implemented to generate
funds for maintenance. Mayor Moore asked City Manager
Miller to investigate the possibilities in this regard.
Commissioner Olenik noted County, City and State funds were
used to build the boat ramps. There might be some type of
prohibition in the agreement signed with the State. Other
remarks were made.
On another topic, Mr. Schultz referred to the number of non-
residents that use the Boynton Beach Library. He felt as
long as municipalities continue to construct libraries, the
County will not construct them.
Comments were made by Mr. Schultz as to the numerous defi-
ciencies that exist in the City Hall renovation project.
City Manager Miller indicated the punch list items are
currently being taken care of.

None
B. Ordinances - 1st Reading
1. Proposed Ordinance No. 90-5
Re: Repair of Motor Vehicles in C-3 (Previously TABLED)
Commissioner Weiner moved that this topic be removed from
the table. Commissioner Olenik seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.
Mayor Moore noted there had been additional input from the
Planning & Zoning Board on this topic as a result of a
special Planning & Zoning Board meeting which was held. The
Mayor suggested this be left on the table so this could be
reviewed by the City Manager. Discussion ensued regarding
the sequence of events.
Commissioner Olenik stated he was satisfied with what the
Commission had decided on, namely, including the lot size
limitations to keep from having little service stations
popping up all over the City. The intent was to allow a
~uture Sears store to be able to have automotive inframe
~epair and tire sales without having gasoline sales. He was
not sure he wanted to have all of these specific shops. The
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 3, 1990
City has gotten into trouble in times past when Ordinances
were so specific. Commissioner Olenik was happy with the
way the City Attorney brought the Ordinance back to the
Commission.
Vice Mayor Wische stated he would like something in the
Ordinance to protect residential neighborhoods that are
facing an industrial M-1 zone, such as Hunter's Run. If a
Jiffy Lube were constructed across from that subdivision, he
would want to ensure the building blended with the neigh-
borhood. Also, if located on Congress Ave., he felt the
doors should be to the rear of the building, not facing the
residential area. Commissioner Olenik thought these con-
cerns would be addressed at the time of site plan review.
Reference was made to page 2 of the Planning & Zoning Board
meeting Minutes which indicated the Board had wanted to
allow these in C-2. Commissioner Olenik stated he would be
happy leaving them as a conditional use in C-3. He later
stated he would be willing to allow them as a permitted use
if we have the restriction of five acres.
Dan Richter, member of the Planning & Zoning Board inter-
jected that was a mis-quote in the Minutes. He explainea in
C-3 you are allowed all the uses of the C-2 and C-1 zones.
That was what was meant, not that the Board wanted to put
auto service stores in C-2. This was to be strictly for
C-3. What was drafted by the City Attorney covered only
part of it. He felt it discriminated against the small
businessman.
Tim Cannon, Interim Planning Director was asked if the
Ordinance were enacted as prepared by the City Attorney and
having the 5-acre restriction on lot size, would that
restriction carry forward into the C-4 or M-1 zone or would
a Jiffy Lube on its own be allowed to build in a C-4 or M-1
zoning district. Mr. Cannon responded if that Ordinance is
adopted, the five-acre requirement would carry into the C-4
zoning district, but not the M-1. He indicated any type of
automobile repair currently is a permitted use in M-1. The
only restriction as far as lot size is that the site has to
be a minimum of 10,000 sq. ft.
Commissioner Olenik and Vice Mayor Wische didn't feel the
City would be discriminating because it does provide in the
zoning categories, a place for the individual owner of an
automotive care facility to construct within the City.
Discussion took place.
Mr. Cannon was asked if this would be a permitted use in the
CBD. Mr. Cannon responded negatively as there is an
6

entirely separate list of uses allowed in that district.
This use is not a permitted use in the CBD as it stands
today. Existing filling stations that sell tires in the CBD
are currently non-conforming uses. The Mayor thought this
was wrong.
Mayor Moore referred to a problem experienced with a
Goodyear store in the Boynton Lakes North area precipitating
this entire situation. The owner didn't want to sell gas.
Somehow the Ordinance ended up saying you could sell tires
at a gas station in C-3 but you couldn't sell tires unless
you sold gas. The Mayor thought that was ridiculous. That
was the reason for changing this in the C-3 zone. The
Ordinance did not turn out the way it was intended.
The Mayor asked if there was a problem with a Goodyear store
going in as a tenant in the C-3 zone at the Boynton Lakes
North site, or would they be outlawed from doing so with
this Ordinance. Mr. Cannon replied at this point (prior to
adopting the proposed Ordinance), a tire store is a per-
mitted use in C-3. Mayor Moore clarified this proposed
Ordinance would provide for minor, inframe repairs, as long
as you have five acres.
Commissioner Olenik thought the Jiffy Lube type stores pro-
bably work better when they're grouped in an auto service
center.
The Commissioners were satisfied with the "one ton truck
provision" being included.
Attorney Cherof read proposed Ordinance No. 90-5 by title
only:
"AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
BOYI~TON BEACH, FLORIDA AMENDING APPENDIX A, ZONING,

Motion carried 4-1. Mayor Moore indicated he voted against
this because he didn't think it carried the original intent.
Commissioner Olenik referred to a Texaco station which used
to exist on the corner of Boynton Beach Blvd. at Federal
Highway. It has now changed over to a Kelly Tire Store.
This is in the CBD. Staff was asked to research the reasons
why that facility is allowed to remain there.
Don Jaeger, Building Official, remarked this case is
currently before the Code Enforcement Board. They have
applied for a license as a tire store. The Building Dept.
forwarded that application to the City Attorney for his
determination. The person will either be issued a license
or it will go back to the Code Enforcement Board. Mr.
Jaeger remarked the gas pumps are not currently installed
according to his information. The person is waiting for a
determination prior to the cost of installing those pumps.
If he has to install the pumps, he will. If he doesn't have
to, he won't.
Mayor Moore stated the man was selling tires there pre-
viously. If selling gas and tires is a nonconforming use
and the person stops selling gas, why can't he continue to
sell tires? The Mayor thought he would be "grandfathered"
in. Discussion took place.
Mr. Jaeger indicated the person had only been issued licenses
as a gas service station. The tire sales was accessory to
his principal use of gasoline sales. The issue here
appeared to be whether you could make an accessory use a
principal use, if the principal use is illegal in that zone.
Mr. Cherof noted if this is determined to be an accessory
use, if the man doesn't sell gas any more and only sells
tires, the worst scenario is that the City would close the
business down. Mr. Jaeger interjected the man could go back
to his original non-conforming use which was the sale of
gas. Technical discussion ensued. Mr. Jaeger stated the
Building Dept.'s position was if the man rehooks up the gas
pumps, he would continue as a nonconforming use.

Commissioner Olenik made remarks about item %2 and the City
Manager answered his concerns. Relative to item %12,
referring to work being completed by City crews,
Commissioner Olenik thought we should add "or contracted
out, whichever is more feasible." The City Manager indi-
cated this could be done. Other remarks were made. In con-
nection with item %21, Mr. Miller indicated the Equal
Opportunity/Affirmative Action Program in place currently,
in his opinion, does not meet the criteria set forth by the
State and Federal governments. In connection with item ~28
and a suggestion to tie in a remark about completing this
within a certain timeframe and within budget, Mr. Miller
explained these goals are more in the nature of those
related to Council action or direction. Another entire set
of goals and objectives exists which are administrative in
nature and to bring them before the Commission would involve
review of hundreds of goals. The list before the Commission
had to do with those setting policy and direction or
approPriating dollars for public policy, per se. Mr. Miller
indicated he would not intend to deviate from these unless
the Commission directed. In connection with item ~35, in
view of the fact that a comprehensive Sign Ordinance had
been developed, Mr. Miller indicated the language could be
reworded to "enhance and modify."
Commissioner Olenik thought one goal had been missed,
namely, "the development and implementation of an employee
incentive/suggestion program to encourage pride and effi-
ciency in delivery of service." Mr. Miller indicated this
would be included as ~44. It was indicated these goals are
subject to budgetary allocations.
Commissioner Olenik moved to adopt Resolution NO. 90-YY with
the amendments. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.
Other
1. Accept Quit Claim Deed - Wilshire Corporation
As outlined in Jim Golden, Senior Planner's memorandum No.
90-038 to the City Manager, the proposed Quit Claim Deed
differed from the version approved by the Commission on
November 7, 1989 in that the phrase "and maintenance obliga-
tion'' had been added under the witnesseth on the first page
10

of the document to release the developer from any further
maintenance costs associated with the subject parcel.
Commissioner Olenik moved to approve this. Vice Mayor
Wische seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
OLD BUSINESS
A. Approve renovation of West Winq First Floor
City Manager Miller explained this would complete the
building plan for the entire municipal complex. As much of
the outer office space will be used as is possible with
existing walls. Code Enforcement will be brought down to
the first floor. The Dick Webber Child Abuse Center will be
moved to the second floor. These plans were prepared
in-house by the Building Dept. Employees in that area have
provided input. Discussion took place regarding the counter
area. The Planning Dept. space has been expanded somewhat.
City Manager Miller indicated he probably would be using Don
Jaeger as the Project Manager for this renovation as Bill
DeBeck is involved heavily in several other major projects.
Commissioner Olenik asked if Mr. Miller felt there was any
potential conflict with the Building Official also serving
as Project Manager. Mr. Miller didn't think so as the
entire project would be under his supervision. Mr. Miller
indicated for inspection services they could use Mr. DeBeck
or they could rely on Gee & Jenson. Other remarks were
made.
Commissioner Olenik moved to approve. Vice Mayor Wische
seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
B. Beach Restoration Project
City Manager Miller stated the City is undertaking the beach
restoration project in Ocean Ridge. It had been calculated
that we will need an additional 500 cubic yards of sand to
bring this to finished grade. Mr. Miller stated this addi-
tional purchase of not to exceed 500 cubic yards would cost
$7,915. These monies would come from the original beach
construction account.
Commissioner Weiner moved to adopt the recommendation of the
City Manager. Commissioner Olenik seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Items for discussion requested by Mayor Moore
11
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 3, 1990
Boynton Community Life Center
Mayor Moore remarked he had been in touch with Dr. Marsha
Fishbane who is with the H~alth Dept. relative to the fact
that there are several "finalists" (one of which is our
City) who are in line for a grant of $484,259 for a Boynton
Community Life Center project. The final answer is antici-
pated in the next ten days. This would be a study/service
approach to providing services to at risk pregnant women and
their children.
Commissioner Weiner had been working on this project and she
remarked this is basically what had come out of the request
to have an HRS office in the City. Commissioner Weiner had
spoken to the District Administrator, Robert Williams. If
this goes through she wondered what would happen with the
request for the HRS office. Mr. Williams stated if the City
gets this grant, Aid to Families with Dependent Children and
a Food Stamp office could easily be moved in as well. If
this happens, it would be a real victory for this City.
Later in the meeting Commissioner Weiner asked that the City
Manager be directed by the Commission to write to Senator
Eleanor Weinstock and Representative Steve Press, who Chair
the HRS Committees in their respective Chambers, urging the
granting of the application for the Boynton Community Life
Center. The Commission agreed Mr. Miller should do this.
1. Melaleuca tree removal
Mayor Moore made remarks about the need to get rid of mela-
leuca trees, particularly in the downtown area. The trees
use a lot of water, break up sidewalks and cause allergy
problems.
City Manager Miller remarked that at the March 6, 1990
Commission meeting they had adopted the program developed by
the Recreation & Parks Dept. whereby the City would remove
the trees located on municipal grounds and in public parks.
The City would remove trees in City right-of-ways which are
dead or diseased. Residents would be encouraged to remove
the trees on their property or on rights-of-way fronting
their property. The program will be outlined in the April
Newsletter. The Commission agreed this program was needed.
2. Water Shortage
Comments were made by Mayor Moore relative to a toilet which
0nly uses 1.6 gallons of water per flush. H~ suggested the
City enact legislation requiring installation of similar
type toilets in all new residential construction and that
12
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 3, 1990
the City consider implementing a program which would make
these type fixtures available to residents. The cost of
acquisition could be amortized over a reasonable period of
time by adding it onto the monthly water/sewer bills of
citizens. The Mayor felt this would save a substantial
amount of water in the community.
Commissioner Olenik agreed with the need to conserve water,
but he thought this was the wrong approach and he explained
why. He thought a rate study should be put in place that
would encourage conservation. If a household exceeded a
certain number of gallons per month, the rate would
increase. He didn't think the City should legislate what
variety of fixtures are to be put in private homes.
Commissioner Olenik thought wasted water through toilet
flushing was only a fraction of the water that is wasted in
the City.
The Mayor thought the suggestion should be investigated by
the City Manager. Based on the response of the other
Commissioners, the Mayor said to forget the idea.
B. Wish List of Projects from Departments
City Manager Miller made comments as outlined in his Agenda
Memorandum No. 90-112. At the time of the February 27,
1990 Commission workshop on the Capital Improvement Program,
the overall balance in the three Capital Improvement Funds
was about 2.9 million dollars. This was without
appropriation to the multi-purpose/civic center, renovation
to the Building Dept. and without allowances for arbitrage
(per the 1986 Tax Reform Act). Mr. Miller provided tech-
nical explanation about excess interest earnings over the
bond yield having to be rebated to the United States Dept.
Of Treasury and monies the City will need to rebate to the
U.S. Government in connection with the 1986 bond issue
interest earnings.
Adding in the arbitrage payment, the balance of architect
fees, change orders, Seppala & Aho retainage and $300,000
appropriated for Building Dept. renovations resulted in
available funds of $1,645,122. At the February 27
Commission meeting the City Manager had been asked to pro-
vide a listing of Wish List items which he was providing at
this time.
Mr. Miller stated the only item on the list which he really
felt was needed was the Chapel Hill Median Renovation
Project, as we are short $6,000. This was a project the
Commission took positive action on, however, those funds
were never appropriated in the 89/90 budget. He needed to
put $6,000 in so the City can proceed with this project.
13
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BO~/I~TON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRI~ 3, 1990
Relative to the Park Development for four sites in northwest
Boynton Beach, Mr. Miller indicated these would be develop-
mental costs because the master plan costs for these four
sites would be appropriated from our Recreation Trust Fund.
The current balance in that Fund is $800,000.
Mr. Miller made comments on the individual items listed on
the Wish List. Relative to redevelopment of the N.E. 12th
Avenue/13th Avenue area, he remarked that funding vehicles
from other areas such as Tax Increment Financing (TIF) or
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) programs could be
involved. In this regard, he noted we never actually get
all the funds we ask for from these programs.
Discussion took place relative to the Boynton Beach
Elementary School site. Commissioner Olenik wanted to know
why the City was contemplating spending $260,000 to put a
new roof on in view of the situation which exists with the
School Board. Mr. Miller reiterated this was selected from
a lot of the Capital Improvement studies and with assistance
from staff. He had tried to be all-inclusive. Mayor Moore
noted the City was currently trying to "pin the School Board
down" to determine if the the City could get the basic ele-
mentary school building plus the property to the east for
parking, as a start. Other remarks were made.
When the Old Sewer Treatment Plant demolition and renovation
was addressed, Mayor Moore remarked if this was done, he
would like to have someone with expertise determine if
there's a possibility of rerouting water out of the Boynton
Canal through this and at least giving it tertiary treatment
before it is pumped into the lake.
Mr. Miller repeated the only item that he really needed
action on at this time was the $6,000 appropriation for the
Chapel Hill Median Renovation project. It was noted the
City was not responsible for repairing the entrance wall at
Chapel Hill. The Subdivision had agreed to maintain the
wall. Charles Frederick, Director of Recreation & Parks
clarified this would be for sod and irrigation only.
Mr. Miller stated the City is going ahead on the park deve-
lopment for the next four sites through the Master Plan. He
would like Commission authorization to go forward on that.
Commissioner Olenik referred to a worksheet which listed
Revenues & Expenses - All Capital Improvement Funds under
Projects Out to Bid. In connection with the 23 acre park he
noted there was a $100,000 error there. He thought this
figure should actually be $2,590,161.00. Mr. Miller
responded if that was the case, then we would have $100,000
less.

Further comments were made about arbitrage and Commissioner
Olenik asked if the money is sitting there, should we get
moving on these projects now to help keep money in our
pockets so it won't have to be paid back to the U.S.
Government. Mr. Miller responded he would have to check
with bond counsel on that point.
Motion
Commissioner Weiner moved to authorize the expenditure for
the Chapel Hill median work. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the
motion which carried 5-0.
Commissioner Olenik didn't want this Wish List to not be
looked at again for six or nine months. Mr. Miller
responded this would come up during the budgetary process.
Commissioner Olenik stated if the Commission decided to go
forward with a program like Visions 2000, the Commission
could put together a comprehensive "plan of attack" to be
pursued over the next ten years.
Consider request from Mrs.
Park School to modify S.W.
to a "one way" street
Leslie, Principal of Forest
3rd Street (two way traffic)

recommendation of Vincent Finizio, Acting Assistant to the
City Engineer. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.
D. Consider approval of Community Relations Board Funding
Recommendations
Commissioner Weiner commented on the amount of research the
Community Relations Board conducts relative to the organiza-
tions which request funds. As outlined in Wilfred Hawkins,
Assistant to the City Manager's memorandum No. 90-040W, the
Board recommended the Association for Retarded Citizens
receive $2,000, the Boynton Beach Child Care Center receive
$22,500 and the Wee Care Center receive $1,500.

dation, vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion which carried

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BO1-NTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 3, 1990
F. Items for discussion requested by Commissioner Olenik
1. Purchase of Kitchen Items for Fire Station No. 1
Commissioner Olenik noted the temporary trailer is finally
being moved and the firemen would now be moving into the
renovated area. H~ thought the Commission should authorize
the purchase of a complete set of dishes and silverware for
the new quarters. He thought employees from all three
shifts should be able to provide input as to what items they
actually need in the kitchen. A list could be provided to
the Fire Chief and the City Manager for final approval.
Commissioner Olenik moved to authorize the purchase of the
items needed. Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.
2. Visions 2000 Program for the City of Boynton Beach
Commissioner Olenik thought it was time for the City to put
together a Visions 2000 American assembly program to set
forth the City's objectives for coming years. This should
be done in an organized fashion.
Once the goals and objectives have been established for this
year, City Manager Miller proposed to bring in a facilitator
from Ft. Lauderdale, who has done these sessions success-
fully before. This facilitator would not charge for this
session. Mr. Miller proposed a workshop on a Saturday
morning which would be open to staff and the public to
~'brainstorm" where they would like to see the City head in
the next few years. Members of the Chamber of Commerce
BOard of Directors would be included on the panel. Remarks
were made about holding this in "round table fashion" at a
suitable place where there would be sufficient room. A spe-
cific date was not set.
3. Palm Beach County Day
Commissioner Olenik remarked Palm Beach County Day was sche-
duled for April 26, 1990. Discussion ensued about City
representation. Commissioner Olenik will be attending this
meeting.

this project was proceeding. The Lake Worth Drainage
District permit was issued March 23, 1990. The letting is
scheduled May, 1990. Construction is scheduled to begin
August, 1990 and be completed January, 1992.
Joint Meeting with the Chamber of Commerce
Discussion had taken place between City Manager Miller and
Gary A~hcraft, Executive Director of the Chamber of
Commerce. The Chamber would like to meet with the City
Commission. The Commission agreed Saturday morning, April
28, 1990 from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. would be a good time.
The City Manager and Mr. A~hcraft will be putting together
an Agenda.
Boynton Beach Blvd. Bridge over Intracoastal
Mayor Moore asked if any of the Commissioners had
experienced a change of opinion on the location of the

sentiments known formally to the DOT and Treasure Coast.
Commissioner Olenik seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
Commissioner Olenik moved that the City Attorney draw up a
Resolution to this effect, reiterating the Commission's

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

the end of April, 1990. Mr. Miller noted there had been a

aspect of it. The Mayor remarked the additional stages of
the VE study were currently in draft form and were being
coordinated with the engineers who would get back with the
City.

D. Consider long-term financing to pay off the short term
notes (letter dated March 29, 1990 from SunTrust)
City Manager Miller drew attention to the last paragraph in
his Agenda Memorandum No. 90-115 where his office requested
Commission direction as to whether they wish to implement a
long term financial program prior to May 24th and whether
the City should proceed with SunTrust on their proposal or
negotiate with investment bankers in the field. He noted
they have a letter from SunTrust relative to long term
financing. Mr. Miller needed direction on whether this
20
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 3, 1990
should be opened up to be competitive. He. thought if the
City goes out in the open market for investment bankers,
it will be inundated.
Commissioner Olenik was interested in what the City's liabi-
lity would be for bringing on Smith Barney and whoever
they're working with. Mr. Miller indicated the Commission
has a right to do so if they wish.
Mayor Moore noted $3,000,000 was due on May 24. If the City
can get the bond issue floated, and he thought that was what
the evaluation of this recommendation was, they think they
can get the bond issue floated and turn over $3,000,000 in
bonds to Tradewinds rather than paying them cash. He stated
we would lose that option if we don't get it taken care of
by that date.
Discussion ensued on whether SunTrust could sell the bonds
at the same rate as Smith Barney or would it be a higher
interest rate. Mayor Moore stated SunTrust had given the
City a fee schedule which he thought was fair. The Mayor
thought SunTrust had the same qualifications as Smith
Barney and could give the same rates.
Commissioner Olenik asked if the City would be better off
waiting and doing this in calendar year 1991 because the
City is already doing a bond sale in 1990. Comments were
made about bank-qualified and non-bank qualified rates. The
Mayor remarked SunBank didn't feel there would be any
adverse effect from going that way. City Manager Miller
interjected we would be looking at a bond issue and not
necessarily an extension of a long-term loan. Commissioner
Olenik wondered if Prudential Bache, the City's financial
advisor had commented in this regard. Discussion ensued.
Attorney Mark Raymond's name was brought up and Mr. Miller
stated if Mr. Raymond were brought in on this it would cost
additional money as this is not an extension of Tradewinds,
but is new financing.
Commissioner Weiner felt the Commission was being pushed
again. She hoped this could be tabled so input could be
received from other companies on long term bonds.
Discussion took place regarding the $3,000,000 which is due
May 24.
Commissioner Olenik stated several weeks back when the
Commission discussed details with Sun Bank, he left the
meeting with the impression the City was going with
$8,000,000 short term and we were going to discuss a long
term bond issue for $8,000,000. Some of the other
Commissioners recalled the same thing. Commissioner Olenik
21
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 3, 1990
stated that now, one meeting later, we have another
deadline.
City Manager Miller stated if the Commission felt "under the
gun" then they didn't have to go with the proposal. The
bottom line is the City has a note due March, 1991 with Sun
Bank with interest of 8.5% for $5,000,000. If the
$3,000,000 is activated on May 24, then that will be
$8,000,000 we have due in March, 1991. If we can seek addi-
tional long term financing between now and March 24, at a
lower interest rate, in this case, 7~%, then that means we
will be paying on $5,000,000 for several months and
$3,000,000 for no months. Mr. Miller stated we were talking
about $67,000 plus, as the difference between 7~ and 8½%.
Mayor Moore stated the difference is we have an interest
free ride until May 24 on the $3,000,000. If we can float
the bonds before May 24, the City will get a minimum of a 1%
interest savings on the whole $8,000,000. The City Manager
agreed. If we don't do that, then until the City does get
the bonds floated we will be paying 8~%.
Discussion took place on whether the City could get a better
rate on a 20 year bond. Technical, financial comments were
made. Commissioner Olenik wondered if anyone had sat down
and done a 20 year analysis to determine how the City makes
out on this. He stated if an uninterested party told him
either of the two firms could get the City the same rate on
a bond, he would be willing to go with SunTrust.
Commissioner Weiner recalled the City used William Huff at
one point and she remembered the figure of 6.9% interest
over about 15 years. City Manager Miller responded the
problem is that he wasn't sure what their front costs were.
Commissioner Weiner thought the Commission should check out
Smith Barney, William Huff and SunBank. She wanted to see
more proposals on the long term loan.
Motion
Mayor Moore passed the gavel to Vice Mayor Wische. Mayor
Moore moved that the Commission accept the proposal of
SunBank to get this going forward. This is the final step
and he thought this was the best deal the City can make.
There will be a substantial savings by getting this taken
care of by May 24. We should get the bonds sold and do it
the way recommended with refunding the first lien bonds at
the golf course and bring this down a couple of points.
Commissioner Olenik seconded the motion for discussion pur-
poses.
22
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 3, 1990
Discussion ensued. Various opinions were expressed. City
Manager Miller commented SunTrust had a good proposal in
front of the Commission. They have worked with the City and
understand the financial situation the City is in. They can
get the City a good interest rate. If the City goes out
with an investment banker, the City may or may not do
better. It all depended on the total cost. Additional
remarks were made by the City Manager about saving $67,000
on the 1% difference in interest, if this is done by May 24.
If the Commission chose not to do this, that was their deci-
sion. The only "gun" they were under was to have some long
term financing in place by March, 1991. Other comments were
made.
In answer to a question raised by Commissioner Artis, Mr.
Miller stated if Sun Bank is authorized at this time, they
will have to have long term financing in place by May 24,
therefore the City would not have to activate the additional
$3,000,000.
Vice Mayor Wische called for a vote of all those in favor of
the motion. The motion carried 3-2 in favor of Sun Bank.
Commissioner Olenik and Commissioner Weiner voted against
the motion. The gavel was returned to the Mayor.

the month of April in an attempt to support families in cri-

firmed this was correct.
