PRESENTATIONS
1. Update on Exchange Club/Dick Webber Center
for Family Enhancement
Ms. Klm Abbott, Executive Director for the Center explained
the function of the facility. At this time last year, the
Center had eight families they were actively working with.
Now they have 25 families. One-third of those families
reside in Boynton Beach. She thanked the City for its con-
tinued support of the program.
2. Update on the Public Hearings reference the
Palm Beach Countywide Planning Council
Mr. Dan Richter explained the function and membership of the
Countywide Planning Council. Similar to the City's own
Planning & Zoning Board, the Countywide Planning Council is
intended to become the recommending body or the land
planning agency for the Board of County Commissioners. The
date for the County Commissioners to adopt the Future Land
Use Element was originally set at December 7, 1990, but it
has been moved to February 1, 1991, to allow for resolution
of conflicting points of view with the Municipal League and
to allow for additional Public Hearings.
In drafting the Future Land Use Element, the Council
followed the same format that the State Dept of Community
Aiffairs requires for all governments for their respective
Comprehensive Plans and thereby developed Goals, Objectives
and Policies. Mr. Richter pointed out the key words in the
P~licies were "ensure" and "encourage." The Municipal
League in a joint workshop with the Planning Council
objected to five of the 50+ policies of the Future Land Use
Eilement and through their legal counsel, Trela White, also
objected to the Planning Council's Goals, Objectives and
PDlicies in the areas of Transportation, Housing,
Agriculture, Coastal Management, Education, Historic
P~eservation, Water and Environment. Mr. Richter stated
the Municipal League feels the Planning Council has
ouerstepped its authority by addressing these issues in a
Future Land Use Element when each municipality has already
addressed these topics in their own Comprehensive Plans.
The Municipal League has agreed to have a member committee
work with the Planning Council's Future Land Use

Element Committee (FLUEC) to establish language acceptable
to all parties. Hopefully, this process will be resolved by
the February 1, 1990 date. However, amendments can be made
up to July 1, 1991 when the final draft will be given to the
Board of County Commissioners for approval. Other technical
remarks were made by Mr. Richter.
Mayor Moore asked Mr. Richter if he felt the Planning
Council was exceeding its boundaries. Mr. Richter felt to
some extent they were stepping over the boundaries. The
Mayor thought the Planning Council's mission was to elimi-
nate any zoning powers within the municipalities. He
thought affirmative measures should be taken to let the
P,lanning Council "sunset" out. The Mayor noted millions in
tiaxpayers' dollars had been spent by the Planning Council
a~nd in his opinion, nothing had been accomplished. Mr.
Richter responded the "demise" was provided for in the
Creation of the Planning Council.
Commissioner Weiner was glad the Countywide Planning Council
a~nd the Municipal League were taking 60 days for a coopera-
t~ive effort to work out problems that exist. She hoped this
w~uld be successful and she did not share the Mayor's views
the elimination of the Planning Council. Commissioner
~einer asked Mr. Richter to forward the City Commission
c!opies of the Planning Council's Minutes. Mr. Richter
r!esponded that after the joint workshop with the Municipal
~eague, a Resolution had been passed to have those Minutes
florwarded to all elected officials.
Vice Mayor Wische stated that the Planning Council and the
Municipal League would be working together for the next 60
~ays. The Boynton Beach City Commission could make any
decisions based on the outcome of that.
3. Award presentation from Palm Beach County School Board
for participation in the Community School Program
Charles Frederick, Director of Recreation and Parks,
rleported he and the City Manager had attended a program con-
ducted by the School Board in recognition of Community
E~ucation Week. Part of that program is the Community
Sichool Program which the City has been involved in through
~any of the local schools. The program is a cooperative
eiffort at maximizing use of school facilities after normal
slchool hours for recreational and educational programs. The
Sichool Board presented a Plaque to the City in recognition
olf 20 years of continued support which the City has given
this program. Mr. Frederick presented the Plaque to the
~ayor.

Chris Cutro, Director of Planning, explained this had been
reviewed by the Planning and Utilities Depts. as well as
Comcast Cablevision and Southern Bell. The Utilities Dept.
put a condition on this so that a 20' wide utility easement
must be dedicated to the City to replace the 20' wide alley.
Mr. Cutro believed there was a sewer line in the existing
alley. Comcast Cablevision had indicated that if any of the
existing overhead cable or facilities had to be relocated,
they would require full reimbursement from Overland
Construction prior to construction. Southern Bell had also
indicated that if any poles had to be relocated, it should
be done at the applicant's expense. Adoption was recom-
mended, with those conditions included.

City Manager Miller pointed out several amendments that had
been made since first reading. On page 2, Section 3, (1)a
it was explained that the silent alarm would notify a pri-

Mr. Miller pointed out that Florida Statutes provides for a
fine up to $5,000 with the provision that the violation go
through the County Court system. The Ordinance is being

Re: Amend Beach Decal Ordinance

City Attorney Cherof read proposed Ordinance No. 090-56 by

"AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 90,45
WHICH AMENDS CHAPTER 16, ARTICLE II. CITY PARKS AND

PROVIDING A SEVER3kBILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING AUTHORITY TO

Mayor Moore asked if there had been any further investiga-
tion as to why Ocean Ridge has for over 20 years continued
to use Boynton Beach property near their Town Hall without
any compensation to the City of Boynton Beach. The Mayor
pointed out he had repeatedly asked for that point to be
investigated and resolved. To date nothing had been done.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve proposed Ordinance No.
090-56 and to include the Town of Ocean Ridge. Commissioner
Weiner seconded the motion which carried 4-1. Mayor Moore
voted against the motion.
There was brief confusion as the City Attorney had read the
wlrong caption for this Ordinance. The motion was rescinded,
the correct caption was read and the motion to approve was
r~epeated. The result of the new motion was the same, namely
4-1 to approve, with the Mayor dissenting.

Re: Modification of C-1 Zoning District

"AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF

SECTION C. COMMERCIAL DISTRICT REGULATIONS AND USE
PROVISIONS PROVIDING FOR RESTAURANTS, BEAUTY SALONS,
MANICURISTS, TAILORS, DRESSMAKERS AND BARBER SHOPS AS

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 20, 1990
CONDITIONAL USES: PROVIDING A CONFLICTS CLAUSE: PROVIDING
A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING AUTHORITY TO CODIFY; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE."
Vice Mayor Wische moved to adopt proposed Ordinance No.
090-57. Commissioner DeLong seconded the motion.
Commissioner Weiner objected to the inclusion of tailors and
dressmakers as she thought that was too similar to sail
makers and she did not believe manufacturing belonged in the
C-1 zoning district. She also thought conditional uses
should be separated from the permitted uses to eliminate
confusion and should not be indicated with asterisks and
footnotes.
Chris Cutro, Director of Planning, indicated he had used the
format presently under use in the Code. When they are ready
to rewrite the Zoning Ordinance he will take that into con-
sideration. Most of the other Codes Mr. Cutro has seen have
conditional uses separated out of the subjects section. He
had no problem with Commissioner Weiner's suggestion in that
regard.
Mayor Moore stated staff had been instructed to come back
with an Ordinance to carry these two uses as authorized uses
in the C-1 zone. He thought this had gone in another direc-
tion. The Mayor thought in some instances a person's pro-
perty rights are trampled on through negligence of the City
and the City then tries to correct it. This was coming back
to the Commission as a conditional use which the Mayor
stated was not what the Commission asked for. The Mayor
didn't want anyone but the City Attorney drafting
Ordinances. The Mayor was upset and felt this language
"bowed" to the wishes of the minority on the Planning'&
Zoning Board.
Cynthia Greenhouse, 618 N.E. 20th Lane, explained this had
to come before the Planning & Zoning Board because it is a
land development regulation. When it came before the PZB it
was already drafted as conditional uses. When the Board
voted on the issue, the dissenting voters agreed with any
items that were obviously related to office uses such as if
someone wanted to get a haircut, manicure or go to a
restaurant. The dissenters didn't agree with the other
issues as enumerated in the proposed Ordinance. If the
City's Codes are being rewritten, why not make it clear and
separate out the conditional uses. Mrs. Greenhouse thought
someone who wants to open a restaurant in the C-1 zone must
have "called the Mayor" and that was why this was being
rushed through. Disagreeable remarks were exchanged between
the Mayor and Mrs. Greenhouse.
9
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 20, 1990
Mayor Moore thought portions of the November 13, 1990
Planning & Zoning Board Minutes were a disgrace. The PZB
Chairman had stated the Commission was guilty of mis-
demeanors and was consulting the State Attorney's office.
The Mayor thought the PZB, which is supposed to be an advi-
sory board, had exceeded its proper authority.
City Manager Miller stated he was aware of the draft
Ordinance so he would take responsibility. Staff had
reviewed this, but if the Commission would rather see it as
permitted uses or if they wanted to exclude tailors and
dressmakers, that could be done.
There was discussion. The Mayor clarified he had no
interest in this. People complain to the Mayor and the
Mayor felt he sometimes gets "hit in the head" for following
up when people's rights are trampled on. The Mayor reminded
the Commission of what this person had gone through. The
Mayor could not see anything wrong with a barber shop or
beauty salon being located along U.S. 1.
The City Manager pointed out the C-1 zone also includes
other areas not located along U.S. 1, where it might not
be desirable to have these types of uses as permitted uses
without going through the conditional use process. It was
clarified that the final decision on this would rest with
the City Commission, not the PZB. It would involve approxi-
mately a three or four week review process.
Mr. Cutro stated his concern was not with the uses specifi-
cally. He was concerned with the cumulative impact of the
uses. He used the example of a barber shop with two or
three chairs being acceptable in an office building. A
Supercuts Hair Styling Salon, however, would not be accept-
able in terms of its impact. The Mayor reminded the
Commission that Boynton Beach is not a large city with
skyscrapers. He referred to a recession and businesses
going under every day. If the City is knocking out uses
like this he thought they would be making a mistake.
Discussion took place.
Mayor Moore asked Mr. Cutro if he still recommended this be
a conditional use instead of an authorized use. Mr. Cutro
responded affirmatively. Mr. Cutro was not present at the
prior Commission meeting at the time the Commission gave its
instructions on this proposed Ordinance.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 20, 1990
MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE A CERTAIN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH AND STANLEY CONSULTANTS
OF FLORIDA, FOR THE PROVISION OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
SERVICES; A COPY OF SAID AGREEMENT BEING ATTACHED HERETO
AS EXHIBIT "A"; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE."
City Manager Miller referred to two letters received from a
City resident and Engineer Enrico Rossi. Concerns were
raised as to the City following the provisions of Florida
Statute 287.055 (CCNA). The City Manager felt the intent had
been met, however, questions had been posed and he wanted
to abate all inferences that the City did not follow the
intent and provisions of CCNA. He recommended the City go
forth under CCNA and take RFPs for construction management
services, not program management. This will result in a two
to five month lag on the project, however, the City will be
on safer ground. Mr. Miller asked the City Commission to
rescind the action taken on January 17, 1989 upon which CH2M
Hill was approved to proceed with design and construction.
CH2M Hill did proceed with the design and had completed that
phase. The Commission needed to rescind the award of
construction inspection services.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to rescind CH2M Hill's involvement
in the construction inspection services. Commissioner
Weiner seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
Discussion ensued. Mr. Miller indicated it would take 30
days for the RFPs to come in. Within a week, staff would
then shortlist it to the top three. Interviews would be
conducted and a selection made.
Mayor Moore pointed out the City hadn't gone out for
cQnstruction bids yet. He asked if this could be done
s~multaneously. Mr. Miller responded the City was going to
try and dovetail them both together. The engineering firm
selected to do the construction management services must
also be the engineering firm that does the permitting with
D~R and HRS. That involves a 90 to 120 day turnaround.
Mayor Moore asked if Stanley Consultants could be retained
for the permitting. Mr. Miller replied the engineering firm
doing the construction inspection services has to be the
same. firm doing the DER permitting. When they take the per-
mit out, they would be the ones certifying the water treat-
m~nt plant was being constructed the way it was designed.
Other remarks were made. The Commission selected Stanley
Consultants for the construction inspection services on June
5, 1990. The design is 100% complete.
John Guidry, Director of Utilities, remarked you can run
both concurrently. They would feel better having the permit

"in hand" before doing it. In our situation we will have to
try and do this simultaneously. There would be some "down
time" involved. If handled properly, Vice Mayor Wische
envisioned this being taken care of in six to eight weeks.
Mr. Miller responded it would all depend on who the
Commission selects and on the "hammering out" of the
contract with the consulting engineer.
Mr. Guidry pointed out the Contract before the Commission
had the permitting language in it. That was being deferred.
Mr. Guidry stated the reason the Contract was not brought to
the Commission earlier was that they didn't feel comfortable
getting into a Contract with Stanley Consultants without
having the funds in the bank. October 26, 1990 was the
closing date on the bonds. Other remarks were made.
The City Attorney formulated the motion. Vice Mayor Wische
moved for staff to issue an RFP with response times within
30 days for construction inspection services for the west
water treatment plant. Commissioner DeLong seconded the
motion which carried 4-1. Mayor Moore voted against the
motion. The proposed Resolution was not approved at this
time.

Re: Final plat approval

- Woolbright Place Plat
PUD
"A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE
MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO FORMALLY EXECUTE THE FINAL PLAT
DOCUMENTS FOR WOOLBRIGHT PLACE, PLAT ~1, P.U.D.; AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE."
City Manager Miller reported this was approved at the last
Commission meeting, however, they needed to do so by
Resolution. Michael Morton also wished to address a matter
involving an FPL fee.
Relative to the final plat, Mr. Michael Morton remarked
there had been an amendment worked out and everything was
now in order. City Attorney Cherof pointed out this
required a separate agreement which had been prepared and
signed. This required the deletion of language on the final
plat which makes reference to easements. The City Attorney
asked that the document not be recorded until each of the
individuals who previously signed off on the plat,
acknowledge that change.
The City Attorney formulated the motion. Commissioner
Weiner moved to adopt Resolution R90-186, subject to the

plat not being recorded until the changes are acknowleged by
the appropriate parties. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the
motion which carried 5-0.
Mayor Moore thought some of the City's previous City
Planners had gotten off base when they made people plat pro-
perties which puts them under a whole "umbrella" of require-
ments when they are not breaking up the property and are
using it for rental purposes. The Mayor explained his
understanding of the platting law. The City Manager pointed
out this had never been platted. The Mayor assumed they had
vacated the plat by superimposing a new plat. The Mayor
thought there was a lot of power in arbitrary decisions that
the City invokes on people when they make them plat.
Reference was made to a ruling involving legality that had
been rendered some time back. Mr. Morton stated he had done
everything he had been asked to do and a site plan would
follow shortly. The Mayor asked the City Manager and new
Planning Director to obtain specific criteria on the in-
stances where the City can invoke the platting requirements.
This point was brought up again later in the meeting. See
page 21 of these Minutes.
The discussion moved into a new area. Mr. Morton explained
he submitted the plat for approval in March, 1990. During
the processing, they ran into several problems that Mr.
Morton felt resulted in it not being approved expeditiously.
The preliminary plat was approved prior to October 1, 1990.
On October 1, 1990 there was a new Ordinance that went into
effect whereby the City collects FPL fees. Those fees went
up significantly on October 1. Mr. Morton referred to
material from the Settlement Agreement. He felt that
because of delays in getting the plat before the Commission,
they had hit the October 1, 1990 date. Because of the
',window on time" provided for in the Agreement, Mr. Morton
asked that Tradewinds be allowed to pay the FPL fee at the
September rate rather than the October rate. The City
Manager and Vince Finizio, Administrative Coordinator of
Engineering had no problem with this request.
Discussion took place with the City Attorney on wording of
the motion. Mr. Cherof didn't believe the Settlement
Agreement "locked in" a fee like this although he did feel
Mr. Morton was entitled to what he was asking for. Vice
Mayor Wische moved to require Tradewinds to pay the fee as
of September 30, 1990. The motion was seconded and carried
5-0.
9. Proposed Resolution No. R90-187
Re: Acceptance of Easement Deed - Woolbriqht Place PUD
15
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 20, 1990
"A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, ACKNOWLEDGING AN EASEMENT DEED
DATED NOVEMBER 13, 1990, BETWEEN TRADEWINDS DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION AND WOOLBRIGHT PLACE MASTER ASSOCIATION, INC,
AND ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE RECEIPT OF THE SAID DEED
CONSTITUTES A BASIS FOR DELETION OF THE EASEMENT ON THE
APPROVED PLAT; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE."
City Attorney Cherof remarked this was the Easement Deed
that would result in language being changed on the plat
itself. Mr. Cherof recommended the request be granted.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve Resolution No. R90-187.
Commissioner DeLong seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
11. Proposed Resolution No. R90-189
Re: Hamlet Escrow Agreement
"A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE
MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE A CERTAIN ESCROW
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE HAMLET, LTD., A FLORIDA LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP AND THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, A COPY OF SAID
AGREEMENT BEING ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT "A"; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE."
This Resolution deals with dedication of a 60' right-of-way
for N.E. 4th Street. City Attorney Cherof explained this
was an easement that was required to be conveyed to the
City. The property owner does not currently own this parcel
but a closing is pending. Rather than delay their ability
to move forward on development and building permits, an
agreement was worked out where they will place the Easement
Deed in escrow, subject to their closing. The Agreement
states if they do not record the Deeds within 60 days, the
building and development permits will be null and void. Mr.
Cherof recommended this move forward without delay.
Commissioner Weiner moved to authorize the Mayor and City
Clerk to accept the Escrow Agreement. Vice Mayor Wische
seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
OTHER
1. Proposed Agreement on Traffic Regulation
and Enforcement on Private Roads
City Manager Miller reported the City has a problem relative
to implementation of traffic enforcement, pursuant to
Florida Statutes, on private roads. Police Chief Hillery
explained that as a result of development in the City, the
16
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 20, 1990
Homeowners Associations end up owners of roads within the
developments. There are frequently complaints of traffic
violations. When the department tries to prosecute such a
case, if there is no agreement between the property owner
and the City, enforcement efforts are ineffective. Chief
Hillery would like to see this Agreement provided to each
"geo-political" subdivision in the City so the owners of the
private roads would agree to allow the City to enforce the
Florida State Statutes relating to "3-16 - Traffic
Enforcement."
It was pointed out that under no circumstances would the
City be assuming responsibility for maintenance. The Mayor
felt this was something that could be handled administra-
tively after an Ordinance is passed. The City Manager could
negotiate what has to be done and the Mayor could sign.
There was agreement.
Commissioner Weiner moved to authorize the City Manager to
proceed. Commissioner DeLong seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.
2. Lawrence Lakes request for 12 month extension
City Manager Miller reported Lawrence Lakes was requesting a
one year time extension for the infrastructure.
Commissioner Weiner moved to approve the 12 month extension,
subject to staff comments. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the
motion which carried 5-0.
3. Seppala & Aho Settlement Agreement
City Attorney Cherof reported a draft Settlement Stipulation
had been prepared and was currently being reviewed by
Seppala & Aho's attorney, Mr. Robert C. Ross. Mr. Cherof
hoped to be able to bring the Agreement back to the
Commission in final form at the next Commission meeting.
It was noted that the City was in arbitration with Miller,
Meier, Kenyon & Cooper. Mr. Cherof had filed a Counterclaim
in arbitration, with the City seeking about $260,000 in
damages arising out of negligent design. Mr. Cherof
reported the City would face a filing fee in conjunction
with any Counterclaim. The fee would be about $2,000 and
would come out of the City Attorney's budget. Mr. Cherof
pointed out he had moved to have this "kicked out" of
arbitration and moved back into Court.
A motion was made and seconded to proceed with the
Counterclaim. The motion carried 5-0.

5. Woolbright Partners vs. City of Boynton Beach
Commissioner Weiner referred to a bill listed under Approval
of Bills. She recalled in the Settlement Agreement,
Tradewinds was supposed to pay for any and all suits arising
out of their Settlement Agreement. City Attorney Cherof
believed this matter was unrelated. This site was located
across the street. Nonetheless, he had provided Tradewinds'
attorneys with notice that the City .is involved in this
litigation and the City is studying the document to find out
whether or not Tradewinds might be responsible. The City
was reserving its right to seek it from them. The Mayor
instructed the City Attorney to pursue this as far as
possible.
OLD BUSINESS
Sign Code Comparison (Previously Tabled)
Commissioner DeLong indicated she would appreciate two more
weeks to review this. Mayor Moore thought the present Sign
Ordinance is a mess and a change is needed. Input was
requested from staff for the next meeting so this topic can
be resolved.
The Mayor had provided a copy of this to the Chamber of
Commerce and to his knowledge there had not been any feed-
back. City Manager Miller reported that when this is
r!eviewed, there will be input from the new City Planner.
Commissioner Weiner asked if the Planning & Zoning Board
would need to review the Planning Dept. amendments prior to
this coming back before the Commission. The Mayor pointed
out the Commission would be provided recommendations. The
Planning & Zoning Board could provide any additional input
at the Public Hearing. Commissioner Weiner requested that
if Mr. Cutro did make any addition or changes, that this go
back before the Planning & Zoning Board before it comes back
to the Commission. The Mayor didn't agree. City Attorney
Cherof didn't think it was necessary for Mr. Cutro's remarks
t0 go back before the Planning & Zoning Board for review.
~ remarked it could come directly to the Commission at that
point. This topic remained TABLED.
B. Architectural Agreement with Oscar Vagi Associates for
continued services during construction phase of Ezell
Hester Park (Previously Tabled)
Vice Mayor Wische moved to remove this item from the table.
COmmissioner Artis seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
City Manager Miller outlined the specific areas of agreement
reached as documented in Charles Frederick, Director of
18
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 20, 1990
Recreation & Parks memorandum %90-575. Mr. Miller reported
contractors' bids had been opened and the low bid was
$2,500,000. If the City did not go forward with this
Agreement, Mr. Miller explained the City would be looking at
termination of costs involved, pursuant to the provisions of
the AIA Contract which could run as high as $12,000.
Additionally, in that case, the City would have to seek
additional services of architects to complete the job. In
view of the facts, Mr. Miller recommended the City go for-
ward with this proposal with Oscar Vagi & Associates and get
these projects underway.
Commissioner Weiner moved to approve the recommendation of
the City Manager. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion
which carried 5-0.
C. Consideration of approval - Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
- Limousine Service (Previously Tabled)
Vice Mayor Wische moved to remove this topic from the table.
Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
City Attorney Cherof reported Mr. Richard Novicelli, d/b/a
Executive Limousine Service had submitted documentation and
in his opinion, had met the criteria of the Ordinance
proving public convenience and necessity.
Based on the City Attorney's recommendation, Vice Mayor
Wische moved to issue the license. Commissioner Artis
seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
D. Florida Dept. of Transportation
conceptual plans for bridge over Intracoastal
Waterway between Ocean Ridge and Boynton Beach
Eight conceptual bridge proposals had been drafted by the
Florida DOT as explained in the City Manager's Agenda
memorandum #90-333. Of the proposals, Mr. Miller felt the
26' vertical clearance, two lane bridge at Boynton Beach
Blvd. was the most feasible. With this bridge, the incline
would start somewhere near the rear of the existing docks.
Ocean Ridge had approved this proposal but asked that where
the bridge comes down on their side (at the rear of residen-
tial homes) that a berm or landscaped area be built to pro-
tect those residences. Mr. Miller commented on
disadvantages of some of the other proposals.
Commissioner Weiner moved to recommend that the 26' vertical
clearance bridge at Boynton Beach Blvd. be approved. At the
next Commission meeting the City Manager should provide a
19
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYI~TON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 20, 1990
Resolution to be transferred to the DOT, expressing final
commitment of the City. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the
motion which carried 5-0.
Mr. Harry Stein, a resident of Coastal Towers, reported he
was satisfied with the Boynton Beach Blvd. concept. He just
wanted to make sure the Ocean Ave. proposal was out. Mr.
Miller replied it was.
Mr. Miller indicated the DOT does not have funding in the
5-year program for this. Someone in Tallahassee will have
to come forth with funding to get this underway in the next
f~ve years. If not, hopefully funding will come through in
the following five years.
E. Funding Request - Student Club at Santaluces High School
Commissioner Artis reported a Student Club at Santaluces
Hiigh School had previously requested financial assistance
from the City for a project. City Manager Miller explained
the procedure installed with the Community Relations Board
(CRB) reviewing each request. Wilfred Hawkins, Assistant to
the City Manager had been in touch with a representative
f:rom the school on this request. He explained that in
D!ecember the CRB would begin reviewing funding requests
received. Each month individual presentations would be made
to the board. Commissioner Artis pointed out the School
n~eeded to receive the funds in January. In view of the
tlime frame, she hoped the request could be considered early
iin the process. Mr. Hawkins indicated he would carry this
iinformation back to the Board.
Diiscussion took place on whether funding for the Holiday
Boat Parade should be reviewed under the same CRB criteria.
~EW BUSINESS
Items for discussion requested
by Commissioner Arline Weiner
1. City Health Fair
Commissioner Weiner commented on the success of Health Fairs
conducted in recent years at Poinciana Elementary School.
S~e believed there was a need for an additional yearly
~ealth Fair. Commissioner Weiner, the City Manager and the
Recreation & Parks Director agreed an additional Health Fair
with emphasis on testing for senior citizens and children
mould be beneficial for the citizens. The Health Fair would
Cost about $300 and space would be available at the Civic
Center on a Saturday in May, 1991. Commissioner Weiner
20
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 20, 1990
pointed out they would need to get doctors, registered
nurses and other volunteers to assist. Although money is
not specifically budgeted for this, Mr. Miller stated there
will be some program activities that will not be fully
exhausted and $300 could be residual.
Commissioner Weiner moved to give conditional approval for
the $300, providing that the Health Fair not be held unless
they can "round up" the appropriate volunteer workers, so
there will be no additional cost to the City. Vice Mayor
Wische seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
2. Monthly Report on Capital Improvement Programs
Commissioner Weiner thought it would be helpful if the City
Manager, once a month, under CITY MANAGER'S REPORT, provide
the Commission an update on all projects in the Capital
Improvement Program. There was agreement.
B. Items for discussion requested by Mayor Gene Moore
1. Election Commission Opinion
City Attorney Cherof had established preliminary contact
with an attorney at the Election Commission office and had
provided pertinent documentation. Mr. Cherof was waiting
for a response on whether the City needed to file a formal
request or whether a determination could be made based on
the documentation submitted.
Commissioner Weiner pointed out the City Commission never
took a vote on whether they should pursue if there had been
any impropriety by the County Commission placing the ad.
She thought that before the City Attorney gets involved in
such a process, the City Commission should take a vote.
Vice Mayor Wische thought the consensus had been for the
City Attorney to follow through. Commissioner Weiner stated
a consensus was not even called for. All the Minutes of
November 7, 1990 indicated was that "the Commissioners were
agreeable." Commissioner Weiner stated she was not agreeable
and felt the Commission should vote on whether to pursue
this or not. Commissioner Weiner didn't think it was a good
iidea for the City to bring ethics charges against the County
Commission in this matter. Mayor Moore pointed out the City
was seeking an opinion from the Election Commission.
Vice Mayor Wische moved that the City Attorney pursue the
question. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which
carried 4-1. Commissioner Weiner voted against the motion.
2. Clarification on when City's
Platting Ordinance "Kicks In."
Remarks were made by the Mayor on this topic earlier in the
21
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 20, 1990
meeting. See page 15 of these Minutes.
Mayor Moore asked the City Manager to check with the new
City Planner to determine under what instances people have
to go under the Platting Ordinance and when they don't.
3. Planning & Zoning Board Minutes
Mayor Moore found some remarks in the November 13, 1990 PZB
Minutes disturbing. He understood personal verbal attacks
were made on the City Manager, the Building Official and
others. The Minutes seemed to indicate an advisarial
situation between certain members of the PZB and the City
Commission. The Mayor indicated this was why he felt the
PZB should be abolished. In his opinion, the PZB had gone
beyond providing input and advice and gotten into per-
sonalities and obstructionist tactics.
4. Comprehensive AIDS Program of Palm Beach County -
Letter of Endorsement
City Manager Miller reported that a letter in support of
this program had been requested by the Comprehensive AIDS
Program. This does not entail financial commitment as much
as it expresses the City's support for this program in the
community.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to support the program.
Commissioner DeLong seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
Mayor Moore made remarks about Dr. Domeyer who is providing
much needed services and counseling to AIDS patients in the
downtown area. The Mayor understood Dr. Domeyer's practice
had been categorized as a non-conforming use. The Mayor
thought someone should look into this. The Mayor referred
to millions of dollars being spent on fighting AIDS. This
doctor is trying to render assistance in our community and
yet she is facing this obstacle.
ADMINISTRATIVE
A. Florida Petroleum Liability Insurance Program
Olivia McLean, Director of Administration & Risk Management
reported the premium had been reduced to $2,687 instead of
$3,288. The reduction was due to one tank having been
removed.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to authorize the purchase.
Commissioner DeLong seconded the motion which carried 5-0.

B. Community Redevelopment Advisory Board request
for Central Business District Parking District
As outlined in Johnnetta Broomfield, Director of Community
Improvement's memorandum ~90-183, the CRAB was asking for
permission to form a committee to closely examine the feasi-
bility of a Parking District for the CBD. The committee
would consist of a member of the CRAB, Ms. Broomfield, Mr.
Cutro and others as appropriate. Remarks were made by the
Mayor about utilizing the parking study already prepared.
Mr. Miller thought parts of the study would be extracted,
however, they couldn't retrofit their plans into what is
downtown now. Remarks were made about formation of a
taxing district and establishment of a parking authority.
Commissioner DeLong thought this was premature.
Commissioner Weiner moved to allow them to look into this
further. The motion died for lack of a second. In view of
this, Commissioner Weiner asked why the CRAB even exists.
C. Request for financial support
for annual Holiday Boat Parade
Commissioner DeLong declared a conflict and indicated she
would not be participating in this discussion. Memorandum
of Voting Conflict is attached to the original copy of these
Minutes in the City Clerk's office. $3,000 had been
requested of the City to help finance the fireworks display.
In view of the City's tight financial situation, the City
Manager did not recommend approval.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to follow the City Manager's recom-
mendation. Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion which
carried 4-0.
Brief remarks were made about the approval process for this
request on page 20 of these Minutes.
D. Deactivating two previously approved developments
Re: Water Supply ERCs
City Manager Miller referred to two previously approved pro-
jects, namely the Blum Plat (24 ERCs) and Cedar Ridge
Estates (133 ERCs). Permission to deactivate these two
developments was requested as they had expired in all ways.
The Mayor pointed out this was not putting these people out
of business. The projects were not moving forward and there
was no reason for the City to continue to hold water capa-
city in reserve. Mr. Guidry stated that with this action
they would go ahead and approve the transfer of 80 of the
ERCs to the Lighthouse Square project. Mr. Miller was also
23

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 20, 1990
going to pursue discussions with Quantum Park because they
are currently "sitting on" 3,695 ERCs. To date, Quantum
Park had only utilized about 80 ERCs.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to accept the recommendation of the
City Manager. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.
