MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 7, 1990
City Manager who called this Special Meeting. There was
discussion about the Notice of the Special Meeting which had
been signed by four Commissioners. Commissioner Weiner and
Commissioner Artis indicated that when they signed the
Notice they didn't realize they were signing a Notice to
call a Special Meeting. They thought the meeting had
already been called. The Mayor felt that since the majority
of the Commissioners had not actually called the meeting, it
should be struck from the Agenda. The topic could be
discussed at the regular Commission meeting on November 20,
1990. The Mayor thought the reason the meeting had been
called for the 19th was because former Commissioner Bob
Olenik thought he would be off the Commission on the 20th.
Discussion took place about the ad run by the developer.
Mr. Ed Deutsch of Quantum Corp. Park indicated that in view
Qf the signed Special Meeting notice, Quantum Corp. Park had
sltarted the advertisement process. Carrie Parker, Assistant
City Manager recalled getting verbal approval from three of
t~e Commissioners relative to calling the Special Meeting
prior to the written notification being signed. City
Attorney Cherof believed verbal approval was satisfactory.
The subsequent notice would need to be in writing.
There was further discussion on this topic and proposed
Ordinance No. 90-53 establishing this Community Development
District later in the meeting under LEGAL B. Ordinances -
First Reading.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYlqTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 7, 1990
Marcia Belkin and Terry Whidden of Congress Middle School
reported on the trip to the Soviet Union made by the
Congress Middle School Handbell Ringers. The City had pro-
vided financial assistance to make the trip possible. Much
good will had been spread by this exceptional and educa-
tional trip. The children were excited as they had been
photographed with Soviet President Gorbachev. There had
been a national television broadcast in the Soviet Union
about the Handbell Ringers. Mayor Moore was presented with
a framed copy of a concert program which had been appre-
ciatively signed by the children. Mr. Whidden thanked the
Commission on behalf of the School Board, Congress Middle
School and the Handbell Ringers.
2. Certificate of Achievement for
Excellence in Financial Reporting
City Manager Miller reported the City had for ten years in a
row received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence
in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers
Association. Mr. Miller presented the Award to Grady Swann,
Finance Director and extended congratulations. Tammy
Standifer, Accountant III was also presented with the Award
as she was the primary person responsible for the financial
documentation.
3. Leslie Sealey, Project Director
- Boynton Community Life Center
Introductory remarks were made by Commissioner Weiner and
Mr. Hal Benson explaining the history and significance of
this pilot program which will operate out of buildings adja-
cent to Poinciana Elementary School. Mr. Leslie Sealey had
recently been named Project Director for the Center which
will provide assistance to 75 at risk pregnant women and
~heir families. The goals of the program were outlined.
Some of these are to reduce the incidence of child abuse and
neglect, to encourage long-term economic self sufficiency
and to increase the number of young mothers returning to
school and work. Mr. Sealey explained he would need a tre-
mendous amount of support from politicians in the City. Mr.
Sealey hoped to begin providing services beginning in
January, 1991.
Consider Appointment to replace
Commissioner Bob Olenik, Jr.
Mayor Moore stated Mr. Olenik's Commission seat became
vacant on the morning of November 7, 1990. City Attorney
Cherof explained Section 51 of the Charter provides that
f!ollowing a vacancy, at the next regular meeting or as soon
3
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
as possible, the Commission shall elect a qualified citizen
to serve until the next General Election. If the majority
of Commissioners are unable to agree after two regular
meetings, a Special Election will be called.
The Mayor referred to many citizens' requests to speak and
he pointed out the Commission had an obligation to fill the
seat as expeditiously as possible. He stated there was no
provision in the Charter for Public Hearing or notice.
Several weeks back the Commission had asked that anyone
interested in serving on the Commission file an application
expressing interest. The Mayor recommended the Commission
proceed directly with nominations. Under Robert's Rules of
Order, he did not believe it was essential for the nomina-
tions to be "seconded," but rather, if the majority of the
Commissioners agreed on the nominee, the person could be
sworn in.
Commissioner Weiner moved that the persons who had put
requests to speak, be allowed to be heard. The motion
died for lack of a second.
There were numerous persons in the audience who wished to
speak. City Attorney Cherof verified there was no Public
Hearing requirement. Commissioner Weiner believed any citi-
zen who wanted to speak on an agenda item should be allowed
to speak. She pointed out this is a democracy. Discussion
ensued.
Commissioner Artis remade the motion that the persons be
allowed to speak. Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion
which carried 3-1. The Mayor voted against the motion.
Cynthia Greenhouse, 618 N.E. 20th Lane referred to
"cronyism" and pointed out one of the applicants had
recently moved into the district. The person had served as
campaign manager for two members of the present Commission.
Mrs. Greenhouse was concerned that the City Clerk had pro-
vided notice to the public that citizens had until November
20, 1990 to submit applications for the seat. An appoint-
ment at this meeting, in her opinion, would be invalid.
Mrs. Greenhouse stated the Code states the person is to
reside in the district for 60 days prior to taking office.
In an appointment situation, rather than an election
situation, City Attorney Cherof stated the citizen does not
have to reside in the district 60 days before taking office.
Mayor Moore referred to a large advertisement recently run
in the newspaper calling for an election. Shirley Stevens
stated from the audience that the Boynton Citizens Coalition
4
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 7, 1990
was not responsible for the advertisement. The Mayor felt
the ad was a second degree misdemeanor and he wanted to know
who was responsible for it.
Henrietta Solomon, 230 N.E. 26th Avenue read a segment from
an old letter from Gene Moore to Paul Levine. In the letter
the Mayor Moore said he would not condone actions on the
part of City personnel that might be interpreted as cronyism
for political purposes. Mrs. Solomon encouraged the
Commission to abide by that and to demonstrate honorable
actions.
Shirley Stevens, Chairwoman of the Boynton Citizens
Coalition thought that since there is over one-half of
former Commissioner Olenik's term remaining, an election
should be called. She referred to potential cost to the
taxpayers if there was a Commissioner on the dais that does
not answer to the citizens "but answers to two people up
there." She recommended money be spent for the election.
Ms. Stevens stated the Boynton Citizens Coalition takes no
positions on any of the candidates. Remarks were exchanged
by the Mayor and Vice Mayor and Ms. Stevens.
Commissioner Weiner referred to Robert's Rules of Order not
allowing for Commissioners to intimidate or make fun of
people coming before the Commission. She asked the City
Attorney about this. Mr. Cherof responded the rules of
decorum apply to the people on the dais as well as the
people in the audience. If the presiding officer of the
Commission chose to not follow those rules of decorum,
Commissioner Weiner asked what recourse the rest of the
Commission had. Mr. Cherof replied any Commissioner could
make a motion to require the Chair to follow the Rules.
Commissioner Weiner moved that the Mayor follow Robert's
Rules of Order, which had been adopted by the Commission.
She then asked what the recourse was if the Chairman did not
wish to follow the Rules of Order. Mr. Cherof responded if
there was an appropriate motion passed, the Chair could be
compelled to pass the gavel.
Lynne Matson, President of Boynton Lakes North Homeowners
~ssoc. stated she represented 800 homeowners. Her community
~ould like the chance to exercise their right to vote. She
s~tated for the record that the Boynton Citizens Coalition
did not place the previously mentioned ad in the paper. She
pointed out the name at the bottom of the ad was not her
qoalition. The Boynton Citizens Coalition is chartered.
Iif there were an election in which she would run, she would
n~o longer be part of the Coalition. Ms. Matson was proud to
hlave been the first person to apply for the vacant seat on
t~e Commission.
5
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 7, 1990
Mr. John A. Znaver, 3 Dalton Place asked the Commission to
hold an election so he could vote on this issue.
Betty Zolten, 2600 N.E. 1st Lane, asked why it should be
necessary to hold a Special Election. Ms. Zolten felt Dee
Zibelli was the best choice to represent District 4. Ms.
Zibelli had lived in the district for 29 years. A Petition
in support of Ms. Zibelli was presented to the Commission.
As there were no further written requests to speak,
Commissioner Weiner nominated Bob Olenik, Jr. for the
District 4 seat.
Commissioner Artis pointed out they were not just talking
about $10,000 for an election. Four months from now there
would be another election. She pointed out Commissioners
represent the entire City. She read a letter from Denys
"Sam" DeLong expressing Mrs. DeLong's willingness to serve
and outlining her background. Commissioner Artis nominated
Denys "Sam" DeLong. Mayor Moore supported the nomination
and felt "Sam" was one of the hardest working public ser-
vants in the City.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to close the nominations. The
motion was seconded and passed 4-0.
The Mayor called for a vote of all those in favor of Mrs.
~eLong's appointment. The motion carried 3-1. Commissioner
Weiner voted against the motion. The Mayor asked that Mrs.
DeLong be sworn in. Commissioner Weiner wished to make a
s~tatement before the swearing in. Vice Mayor Wische moved
that Mrs. DeLong be sworn in before Commissioner Weiner's
r!emarks. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which
Carried 3-1. Commissioner Weiner voted against the motion.
The City Clerk proceeded to administer the Oath of Office to
Mrs. DeLong. Mrs. DeLong joined the other Commissioners on
t~e dais and Mayor Moore declared her duly seated under the
provisions of the Charter.
Ms. Regina Hilpl, one of the persons that had submitted a
~ritten application to serve on the Commission, asked Mayor
Moore why the names of the other interested persons had not
elven been mentioned. The Mayor stated that after reviewing
the qualifications, he had to vote for the most qualified
person.
Commissioner Weiner thought this was a sad evening for the
City of Boynton Beach. She pointed out Commissioner DeLong
hlad worked as the campaign manager for Mayor Moore and
~ommissioner Artis. Commissioner Weiner stated Commissioner
6
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
Artis and Commissioner DeLong are best friends. The rela-
tionship between these three people was "politically
incestuous" in Commissioner Weiner's opinion. She felt
every vote will be tainted by this relationship.
Commissioner Weiner thought Commissioner Artis and
Commissioner DeLong had lost the asset of independent
thought that should govern the actions of elected officials.
Commissioner Weiner thought both women were bound by per-
sonal and political ties to the Mayor and each other.
Commissioner Weiner urged the citizens to keep track of the
voting patterns of the Commissioners. Mayor Moore responded
to Commissioner Weiner's remarks.
Commissioner DeLong stated she wished to dedicate the
remaining months of her term to her late husband George
DeLong, her late father-in-law Joe DeLong and her own father
Edward David ~laherty~ She intended to devote her full
energy and independent thinking to her responsibility. She
was proud to serve.
City Manager Miller presented a Plaque to former
Commissioner Bob Olenik, Jr. in appreciation for his dedi-
cated service to the City. Mr. Olenik thanked City staff,
the citizens and the Commissioners. He stated he had served
to the best of his ability. Congratulations were extended
to Representative-Elect Mark Foley. Mr. Olenik asked the
Commissioners to be unbiased and independent in their
thinking and to make their decisions in conformance with
Florida's Sunshine Law.
BIDS
None.
PUBLIC HEARINGS - Unadvertised
A. Consider appeal of Community Appearance Board's
Decision - Sunshine Square Blockbuster Video
Mr. William Sulzbacher, President of Lakewest Equity
Management Corporation introduced several merchants from the
shopping center, as well as Mike Kinstle of Blockbuster
Video. Sunshine Square wished to appeal the CAB's decision.
Mr. Sulzbacher felt the variance to the center's sign
program was crucial to Sunshine Square. Since the CAB's
decision of denial, the applicant had placed a section of
the blue canopy with the Blockbuster lettering up on the
center's facade, adjacent to the aqua band, so the
Commission could see what it would look like. Blockbuster
Video's usual sign package had been "pared down" somewhat
and the "torn ticket" logo had been eliminated. Color
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
photographs were made available. The applicant felt the
blue and aqua were compatible colors. Mr. Sulzbacher
thought the CAB had made a subjective decision.
Discussion took place about the large number of people
Blockbuster Video draws to this older shopping center.
Mr. Sulzbacher stated the stores with the Blockbuster sign
package do 25% more business than those without it. In the
past, Blockbuster had opened some stores without the regular
sign package but Mr. Sulzbacher stated the company has no
intention of opening future stores if they cannot get the
required signage. He explained this situation is different
from the Boynton Center's treatment where the yellow canopy
is the primary focus.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the variance.
Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which carried 4-1.
Commissioner Weiner voted against the motion.
B. Consider approval of sign variance
I. Boynton Bicycle Shop
City Manager Miller stated this application came before the
Commission with a recommendation for approval from himself
and the Building Official, with the condition that all pro-
visions of the Sign Code are met. The City Manager and
Building Official were overruling the recommendation of
Michael Haag, Building & Zoning Director.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to accept the recommendation of
Staff. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which carried
5-0.
2. Post Landings
City Manager Miller stated this application came with the
approval of both the Building Official and his own office,
providing that all other provisions of the Sign Code are
met. Representatives for the applicant were present in the
audience and nodded their heads in agreement.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to grant the variance.
~rtis seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
C. Consider approval of lien appeals
Commissioner
1. Biana Jones - Case ~88-2552
Don Jaeger, Building Official indicated there had been
~ompliance in this case. The Code Enforcement Board had
8
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
reduced the amount owed to $250 to cover the Affidavit of
Compliance. Staff recommended the Commission withhold the
entire amount of the administrative costs. City Attorney
Cherof explained the Code Enforcement Board had made a
recommendation. The Commission could accept that recommen-
dation, reject it or modify it.
In view of the fact that Mrs. Jones had already paid $200 to
get to this point and Commissioner Artis didn't feel she
should have to pay any more, Commissioner Artis moved that
the entire amount be deleted. The figure should be reduced
to zero. Mayor Moore passed the gavel and seconded the
motion which FAILED 2-3. Vice Mayor Wische, Commissioner
Weiner and Commissioner DeLong voted against the motion.
The gavel was returned to the Mayor.
Commissioner Weiner moved that the figure be reduced to $250
as recommended by the Code Enforcement Board. Vice Mayor
Wische seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
Mayor Moore elaborated on why he felt there was something
integrally wrong with the Code Enforcement system. In his
opinion, the cases always seem to be in certain areas of the
City, which is not right. The Mayor stated the City should
clean up its own properties before it goes after private
citizens. Other opinions were expressed.
2. Boynton Beach Congregational Church of Christ
- Case #89-3439
Mayor Moore stated the Code Enforcement Board recommendation
was to reduce this to $250. Vice Mayor Wische moved to
approve the recommendation. Commissioner Weiner seconded
the motion which carried 5-0.
3. Letizia Camardella Case ~89-382
Mr. Miller stated this case was cited for a similar action
and brought before the Code Enforcement Board in 1988.
Leniency had been granted at that time and this involved the
same violations. The Code Enforcement Board recommended a
reduction to $250.00. This case had complied.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the recommendation.
Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
PUBLIC _AUDIENCE
Wilda Searcy, 402 N.E. 13th Avenue was grateful that an
election was held last year whereby the voters selected
Commissioner Lillian Artis for her seat. Ms. Searcy
9
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
suggested that affordable housing be constructed on the
Ezell Hester Park property. She also recommended construc-
tion of an amphitheater which she thought should be named
after former Commissioner Hester.
Rev. Douglas Davis, 301 N.E. 13th Ave. thought the
citizens were dissatified with the Commission's "tactics."
He felt the citizens were entitled to vote their convic-
tions. Relative to the City's Sanitation workers, he urged
the City to not lay workers off as these employees have
families to support. Rev. Davis thought perhaps it was time
for some of the Commissioners to submit their resignations
from the Commission.
Mayor Moore responded the Commission was looking into
whether it was possible to provide sanitation service more
economically and yet still preserve the rights of City
workers. The Mayor stated no one would lose their job and
the employees might even end up in a better position if pri-
vitization is considered.
Mr. Richard Parsons, owner of Captain'Frank's Seafood on
Boynton Beach Blvd. was trying to put a 14' addition on the
rear of his business and add more parking to accommodate
customers. He was having great difficulty in the permit
process. He had gotten caught up in the Comprehensive Plan
process which changed his zoning to C-1. Mr. Parsons had
been involved in meetings with various City Officials.
The City Manager had told Mr. Parsons previously that he
needed to bring in a full set of plans for review. If Mr.
Parsons wanted to go with a corridor Change, that would
involve a Plan amendment and that would take time.
The Mayor recalled previous Interim Planning Director Tim
Cannon said it could be done if you isolate one lot and then
cover the whole corridor later. The Mayor stated no one
said the City wanted to do the whole corridor unless and
until compliance with all requirements was achieved. Mr.
Parsons could get a Building Permit upon submission of an
approved Site Plan and then provide working drawings. The
City Manager stated that was correct. Mr. Miller referred
to discussion with Mr. Parsons and former Interim Planning
Director Jim Golden where they came up with a way of
~andling this. Mr. Miller didn't believe plans were ever
submitted in connection with the addition on the rear of the
building. Now it appeared that Mr. Parsons had come up with
an entire site plan involving two lots. That was completely
different than the site plan discussed previously. There
was discussion on the sequence of events.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 7, 1990
Don Jaeger, Building Official stated that prior to sub-
mitting for permit the applicant must go through the site
plan approval process. Mr. Parsons had submitted a very
preliminary site plan. The TRB had processed it and pro-
vided comments. Mr. Parsons stated he had received no such
comments from the TRB. Mr. Jaeger indicated a proper site
plan needs to be submitted to the Building Dept. for analy-
sis. Mr. Jaeger stated he would meet with Mr. Parsons the
next day to try and iron this out.
DEVELOPMENT PLANS
A. CONSENT AGENDA -
UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED BY PLANNING & ZONING BOARD
None.
B. NON-CONSENT AGENDA
Final Plat Approval
Woolbright Place Plat
$1 (Tradewinds Development)
City Manager Miller had provided the Commission with Agenda
Memorandum No. 90-322 on this topic. Mr. Miller stated
there were some legal and engineering concerns. Mr. W.
Richard Staudinger was the Consulting Engineer with Gee &
Jenson who was responsible for signing this plat off.
Mr. Michael Morton stated he had been under the impression
that everything submitted was in good form. Vice Mayor
Wische thought everything had been agreeable except "signing
~ff" had not taken place by the Engineering, Utilities and
planning Depts. Mr. Staudinger stated the Engineering Dept.
had not signed off. Engineering had received the documents
that very day for review. In making a cursory review, there
appeared to be a problem with a maintenance easement adja-
cent to one of the tracts which is not in the dedication
language. Mr. Staudinger needed at least a day to look at
the documents closely. He needed to check the legal
description to make sure it was on the plat. Relative to
the Deed, Mr. Morton believed everything referencing the
Deed and transfer had been taken care of.
The Mayor suggested approving the final plat, subject to the
City Engineers and City Attorney signing off. Commissioner
Weiner was not comfortable with that. The question was
raised as to whether the Planning Dept. had signed off.
Vince Finizio, Administrative Coordinator of Engineering
Stated the Planning Dept. had not signed off yet. The
Commission did not have any backup from the Planning Dept.
in their packets. Mr. Miller referred to a couple of points
~hat Planning Director Cutro still needed to take a look at.
11
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
City Attorney Chero£ stated the first Special Warranty Deed
received by the City had a clause in it that indicated if
the City was not to use the property for a park, the pro-
perty would revert to the property owner. The City had
requested that language be deleted as it was not part of the
agreement entered into. Mr. Cherof had not yet seen a copy
of the corrected Deed bearing the appropriate signatures.
Mr. Morton noted the City wants to reserve the right to use
the property as it sees fit, which included selling it. He
stated that was fine with Tradewinds.
A previous Opinion of Title received had indicated there was
a mortgage on the property. Mr. Cherof had been advised
that was an opinion made in error and he had received a
Supplemental Opinion of Title indicating there is no
recorded mortgage. Mr. Cherof had requested a copy of that
mortgage so it could be compared to make certain it does not
elncumber this property. Legal discussion took place.
Commissioner Weiner was all for expediting this matter and
she was even willing to support calling a special meeting
the next day. She felt these departments should be provided
t!ime to.review the material properly. Mr. Morton didn't
r!eally want to wait another two weeks. He stated this Plat,
the easements and everything engineering-wise had been in
Mr. Finizio's hands for two months. Mr. Morton stated that
"iwithout a City Engineer to review these documents, we run
iinto these constant delays." Mr. Staudinger stated Gee &
~enson had just been provided the documents that very day.
There was discussion. Mr. Morton stated if it would take a
f!ew more days to satisfy the parties involved, Tradewinds
could wait a few more days. Mr. Finizio stated he per-
sionally did not have possession of any of these plat docu-
ments prior to this very day at 1:30 P.M. The Mayor wanted
t:o get this moving and he indicated he would be willing to
call a special meeting if need be.
Mr. Morton stated Tradewinds had made a formal request for a
~eduction of surety put up for the completed construction
work in the PCD. This was supposed to be an agenda item at
this meeting. As it was not included on tonight's agenda,
Mr. Morton asked that it be included on the next agenda.
Mr. Morton had provided a certified engineer's statement as
tlo completeness of the work.
Time extension of site plan -
Boynton Lakes Plaza (Hypoluxo Road and Congress Ave.)
Attorney Rick Harris representing the applicant explained
that in June, 1990 they had received a six-month time exten-
12

sion. That will expire on December 5, 1990. The applicant
was concerned that they may need an extension. Attorney
Harris reported on progress that has been made.
Commissioner Weiner moved to approve a six-month extension
from the present deadline. This is given in one month
increments, subject to approval of the City Manager. Staff
has favorably recommended this request. Vice Mayor Wisc~ne
seconded the motion which carried 5-0.

City Manager Miller asked that this item be taken out of
order on the Agenda as the applicant's attorney was present.
Attorney Steve Daniels explained the Performance Bond was
being transferred to a new purchaser and a new Letter of
Credit was being provided. He was present to make sure this

Mr. Miller indicated staff had no problem with this.

"AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, ESTABLISHING A COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT; MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS OF FACT;
DESCRIBING THE EXTERNAL BOUNDARIES OF THE DISTRICT;

15
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION ~EETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
City Attorney Cherof indicated there would be an amendment
to Section 5 which is the names and addresses of the initial
Board of Supervisors.
Mr. Harry Marcus, 650 Horizons East, had been involved in
extensive research on the topic of Community Development
Districts. The Mayor requested Mr. Marcus' findings. Mr.
Marcus provided technical financial information on the
City's bond rating, 1980 State legislation allowing
Community Development Districts to finance infrastructure on
large projects and the sale of tax exempt municipal bonds.
He referred to the formation of a miniature type of govern-
ment for the district with its only authority being the abi-
lity to determine its finances and to assess the property
owners within the district for the purpose of maintenance
costs.
Relative to liability and the City, Mr. Marcus stated that
on any initial presentations, the City definitely was not
liable on principal or interest. However, in the event of
expansion or termination of this project, Mr. Marcus
explained the City could be liable because if the City
acquires any of the property or any unpaid obligation or
interest, the City must pay.
Mr. Marcus referred to the list of five names of the Board
of Supervisors of the proposed district. He commented on
the fine reputation of one of the persons who would be
serving. He also commented on "the competition" having the
right to petition for the same type of relief as Quantum is
seeking in this district.
Mr. Ed Deutsch complimented Mr. Marcus on his presentation.
Mr. Deutsch disagreed to a limited extent, however. Mr.
Deutsch stated the district could only affect property
within Quantum Park. It cannot, by law, affect any other
property outside Quantum Park. Technical explanation was
provided. Mr. Deutsch clarified it was not the public who
Would own the bonds, but rather it would be a bond holder,
usually major institutions. The bond holder does have pro-
~ections as called for in Florida Statutes. Mr. Deutsch
stated the Board of Supervisors' only power was to finance
and maintain the park. It is not a substitute for the
Commission or City.
As to potential City liability, Mr. Deutsch didn't feel
~here was liability and he stated the Statutes indicate it
cannot become an obligation of the City unless the City
affirmatively acts. If it would make the Commission more
comfortable, Quantum was agreeable to having the matter
~pproved through a City referendum. Quantum was so con-
16
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
fident it would not go "belly up" that they felt the
referendum would give the City greater protection.
Dr. Henry Fishkind, a Professor and Economist with much
experience in this particular area complimented Mr.
Marcus on his fine overview. Dr. Fishkind explained the
bonds are generally issued in $100,000 denominations (or
higher) intentionally, so that only "sophisticated"
investors are in the market for this type of bond. Data was
viewed which illustrated potential income and tax benefits
to the City. The data showed that over a seven year period,
the tax increase to the City through its economic base would
be between $1,000,000 to $2,000,000.
Mayor Moore asked if there was any possibility of financial
liability on the part of the citizens or could the City's
financial credibility be impacted in any way because of
involvement. Dr. Fishkind stated in the worst case sce-
nario, if the bonds were sold and the project later
defaulted, the standard lien provision under Florida law
would take effect and there would be tax certificates sold.
If after two years the tax certificates were not redeemed,
the park would be auctioned for tax purposes. There could
be no liability to the City or its citizens under that worst
case. The Statute indicates the debt of the district is in
no way a debt of the State or any jurisdiction in the State.
Dr. Fishkind stated there had been some argument that a
default within the City could affect the City's bond rating.
H~e did not believe that was the case and he had never seen
such a situation.
Remarks were made about the Palms of Tierra Siega district
which had become financially insolvent. Dr. Fishkind
explained that district was formed and its activities
occurred prior to 1984 when Chapter 190 of Florida Statutes
was revised. Prior to that date, there was no requirement
that a trustee receive the funds. In that case the funds
were provided to the developer and the developer "skipped
town." Discussion took place regarding the function of the
t~rustee. The Board of Supervisors of the district is
controlled by the developer during the first six years of
its life.
If there Were a voluntary termination by the district, the
Mayor asked if there was any possibility of liability
falling back on the City. City Attorney Cherof responded
the way the Statute is structured, it could not occur,
unless the City did something "affirmative." It would only
fall upon the City if the City acted voluntarily to accept
the responsibility.
17
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 7, 1990
Commissioner Weiner hoped Quantum Park would be a thoroughly
successful venture. However, in view of the facts, she
thought the safest thing to do was to leave things the way
they are.
Former Commissioner Bob Olenik remarked that if this
Ordinance did not pass at this meeting, it would not go on
to second reading. Therefore, there would not be a Public
Hearing on it. Sometimes comments from the public can sway
an unconvinced Commissioner. He thought perhaps the
Commission should revisit when they have their Public
Hearings on Ordinances. Mr. Olenik stated his fears had
been allayed and there was very little opportunity for the
City to get hurt on this. He viewed this as one way for the
City to assist economic development. He hoped the
Commission would at least move this to second reading before
an ultimate decision is made.
Discussion took place regarding the fact that a Public
Hearing had been advertised. City Attorney Cherof remarked
that if the Commission chose to they could table the issue
and conduct the Public Hearing as advertised. They would be
On sound ground doing it that way. Mr. Cherof stated that
~onight's discussion by the public did not satisfy the
Public Hearing requirements of the Statute.
Conversation resumed on the Special Meeting notice which had
been prepared for the November 19, 1990 meeting. The City
Manager indicated he would come up with a new meeting notice
making the intent more clear.
The Mayor explained why he was not comfortable proceeding
With the district. He thought the Commissioners all wanted
the park to succeed. There was discussion about whether to
proceed with a vote at this time. Commissioner Weiner was
concerned that the formal advertised Public Hearing had not
been held yet. The Mayor pointed out that any Ordinance
~hat is voted down on first reading never goes on to Public
Hearing.
City Attorney Cherof recommended this be tabled until the
~ublic Hearing could be held on November 19, 1990. He
~ointed out the Statute that deals with this indicates the
~ommission. shall consider the record of the Public Hearing
i!n making its determination to grant or deny the Petition to
establish the Community Development District. The
Commission would be on better ground that way.
Motion
Commissioner weiner moved to table this topic and consider
i!t at Public Hearing on November 19, 1990. Vice Mayor
Wische seconded the motion.
18
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
There was discussion. The Notice of Hearing published by
the petitioner indicated that a Public Hearing would be held
on the Petition on November 19, 1990. It did not say
anything about it being first or second reading. Mr. Miller
pointed out the Notice of the Special Meeting for the 19th
did refer to second reading but that Notice could be redone.
Mr. Cherof agreed. It was clarified that the Public Hearing
and first reading would take place on November 19, 1990.
Mayor Moore called for a vote of all those in favor of the
motion. The motion carried 5-0.
Mayor Moore declared a brief recess at 9:00 P.M.

City Manager Miller explained the revised proposal of Gee &
Jenson which related to design services for a 6,500 sq. ft.
recreation building near the current Civic Center. Many of
the details are included in Charles Frederick, Director of
Recreation & Parks memo No. 90-542 to the City Manager.

It was noted that the present Civic Center had been

Commissioner Weiner pointed out that the Palm Beach
Municipal League recommended the Countywide Planning Council
have jurisdiction over the Land Use Element only. Vice
Mayor Wische moved to adopt and support the position of the

Weiner seconded the motion which carried 5-0.

may be brought forth this month, prior to the December 5
hearing, for consideration and adoption by the Planning
Council.
Bob Olenik, Jr. suggested the Commission send copies of the
Resolution to all municipalities. He thought the Commission
might want to request a report from Dan Richter, the City's
representative to the Planning Council, on what the Planning
Council has been doing and also make sure Mr. Richter is
representing the City according to the direction the
Commission wants to go. Commissioner Weiner requested

City Attorney Cherof pointed out there had been some
discussion with respect with language in some of the docu-
ments between some of the property owners involved. Chris
Cutro, Director of Planning explained there is a minor
problem with the License Agreement for Orange Grove Ave.
They had come to agree that the License the Commission would
need to approve would only be for the west 2' and a very
small portion of a right-of-way to the west of the existing
25'. That way they will be able to build the parking lot
and there will continue to be a road through there until
Mrs. Hall, who owns property to the east, develops her pro-
perty. Mr. Cutro suggested approval of the Resolution and
staff could be instructed to change the legal. Mr. Cutro
Stated there were other issues regarding Casa Loma Blvd.
that Mrs. Hall's attorney wished to talk about.
Mr. Cherof indicated the Commission could adopt the
Resolution, subject to signoff by Planning and the City
kttorney's office on the legal on the License for Orange
Grove Ave. Mr. Cherof remarked a change to either Exhibit E
or F would be required. He would double check which
Exhibit.

1. Village of Golf and City of Boynton Beach
Interlocal Agreement (Previously Tabled)
Vice Mayor Wische moved to remove this item from the table.
Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
City Manager Miller explained a 12" trunkline would be put
in along Woolbright Rd. The City had previously entered
into an agreement with Palm Beach County relative to
installing a trunkline south along Military Trail. There
will be a loop behind Hunters Run. Water will be provided
that section of the City. The Village of Golf consents to
granting an easement to the City to install and operate the
proposed water main within the Woolbright Rd. right-of-way.
The City will construct a water main along Woolbright Rd.
through the Village service area.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the Interlocal Agreement

2. Requests from the Public and Board Members
25
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
NOVEMBER 7, 1990
City Attorney Cherof explained that he regularly receives
requests from board members and other citizens for infor-
mation regarding on-going City matters. Sometimes the per-
sons request information before he has had a chance to
advise the Commission collectively on legal matters. He
requested direction on how to handle these requests for
information as they can be very time consuming and detract
from his office providing legal information to the
Commission, City Manager and department heads. Discussion
took place on the provisions of the Charter and the fact
that the City Attorney serves as legal advisor to the
Commission.
The consensus was to stick with the Charter and for the City
Attorney to draw the line, declining to discuss matters.
Questions from Board members are to be answered at the time
of the various Board meetings, by the assigned Attorney.
Vice Mayor Wische suggested all the Boards be provided a
memo to this effect.
3. Code Enforcement Board Lien Foreclosures
City Attorney Cherof believed the documentation would sup-
port proceeding with foreclosures in the following four
cases:
CEB No. 87-200002065 - Dr. Douglas & Joyce Love
CEB No. 89-20000942 - Tom Gustafson Ind., Inc.
CEB No. 89-200000758 - Julia Counsel c/o Anderson
CEB No. 88-20003150 - Annie R. Knowles
This will involve expenses for title searches on the pro-
perties and Circuit Court filing fees. After conducting
title searches, it was possible that Mr. Cherof might not
recommend proceeding on all four.
Commissioner Weiner moved to authorize Mr. Cherof to proceed
with these forecloshres. Commissioner DeLong seconded the
motion which carried 5-0.
OLD BUSINESS
A. Status report and recommendation -
Neighborhood Housing Service Program
City Manager Miller felt this was a worthwhile, viable
program that should be considered for implementation by the
City. However, due to the present financial condition of
the City, he did not recommend funding for the program this
fiscal year. It could be considered again next year.

Commissioner Weiner moved to accept the recommendation of
the City Manager in this regard. Vice Mayor Wische seconded
the motion which carried 5-0.
B. Sign Code Comparison (Previously Tabled)
The City's new Planning Director had not completed his
review of this topic yet. The Commission chose to leave
this item on the table.
C. Local Option Gas Tax
Carrie Parker, Assistant City Manager explained the contents
of her Agenda Memorandum No. 90-045C. Currently the distri-
bution of funds raised formula is 67%/33% (County/Cities).
The County was contemplating changing this to 75%/25%. Mr.
Miller recommended the present 67%/33% split be continued as
the City cannot afford to loose the additional growth
dollars. The City doesn't receive impact fees like the
County. Ms. Parker pointed out that by law, the County does
not have to follow the City's recommendation.
Bob Olenik, Jr. pointed out the Municipal League was going
to be asking the municipalities their position on this. The
County made representations to the City of Boca Raton that
would allow that City to keep the same split for ten years.
Boynton Beach would like to get that as well.
Commissioner Weiner moved to approve the recommendation of
sitaff. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion which carried
5-0. Mr. Miller was asked to notify all interested parties
of Boynton Beach's position.
CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
A. Property Settlement Offer from Seppala & Aho
Mayor Moore asked that the Commission skip ahead to this
i~tem on the Agenda. City Manager Miller stated Mort Offutt
of Seppala & Aho had indicated he would like to close this
project out and move on. Mr. Miller commented on how costly
i!t can be legal-wise to go into Court on a matter like this.
Mr. Offutt had indicated Seppala & Aho had agreed on a
fligure of $300,000. There are remaining punchlist items
t~otaling about $35,000. The final statement of accounting
i!s $13,654. This related to charges for electric which
Seppala & Aho should have been obligated to pay as well as
~umping charges and miscellaneous charges. This was an
additional $48,645. The $278,943 retainage being held by
t!he City should be subtracted. There is a $4,300 change
order that the City feels it owes Seppala & Aho. Taking all
Qf this into consideration, there is a total probable cost
to the City of $65,402. Mr. Miller pointed out that
27
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
$278,943 and $4,300 of the $300,000 Seppala & Aho was
willing to accept belonged to Seppala and Aho anyways. The
City would have to get involved in taking care of the punch-
list items itself. Mr. Miller stated the City would just
have to accept the final statement of accounting and write
it off.
Mr. Miller explained that in exchange, Seppala & Aho would
drop the lawsuit. All warranties and guarantees would be in
full force and effect. There would be total release of
liens. Mr. Miller didn't want the subcontractors to be
strung along. He wanted them paid by Seppala & Aho. An
Agreement would be drafted by the City Attorney
covering these points. Hopefully, Seppala & Aho would open
its records to the City in its pursuit of any damages
against Miller, Meier. Mr. Miller made remarks about
bringing back Hill York to take care of problems with the
air conditioning. Mr. Miller recommended the Commission
accept this proposal.
Commissioner Weiner moved to accept the recommendation of
~he City Manager. Vice Mayor Wische seconded the motion
which carried 5-0.
Legal Problems with Miller, Meier, Kenyon & Cooper
Relative to problems with Miller, Meier, the City Manager
noted the City was moving into arbitration. The City had
just received notification from American Arbitration and
would be responding within ten days.
NEW BUSINESS
A. Items for discussion requested by
Commissioner Arline Weiner
1. Zip Code Problems
Commissioner Weiner commented on a problem with mail de-
livery in the north end of the city where mail is delivered
through the Lantana Post office. Although the residents in
that area reside in Boynton Beach, they have a Lantana
mailing address. Commissioner Weiner explained how one com-
munity was able to solve this problem administratively. She
~oped the City Manager could write to Congressman Harry
Johnston and to Congresswoman Pat Schroeder who serves on
the House Post Office Committee to see if Boynton Beach can
make some type of similar progress, while we push for
~ederal legislation. There were also remarks about the
problem of phone numbers being allocated by zip code.

Commissioner Weiner explained several complaints had been
received from members of the Planning & Zoning Board and the
Code Enforcement Board on the quality of legal represen-
tation on behalf of the City at their meetings. She
believed the Commission would be better served by having the
same person providing legal advice at City Commission
meetings and workshop meetings. She hoped Josias & Goren
would work to upgrade the experience and expertise of coun-
sel assigned to City boards.
B. Items for discussion requested by
Mayor Gene Moore
1. McDonald's Restaurant - Proposed Playground
Discussion took place regarding a childrens playground
McDonald's would like to construct in front of their
facility on S. Federal Hwy. Some members of staff did not
feel the equipment met the Community Design standards and
~he Coastal Village theme in that area. McDonald's had been
asked to appeal staff's decision to the CAB. Vice Mayor
Wische thought the Community Design Guidelines applied to
building construction, not design of playgrounds. Don
Jaeger, Building Official explained the Guidelines apply to
buildings, site amenities, landscaping and all of the items
that make up the physical layout of the street.
Bob Olenik, Jr. had discussed this new concept in playground
equipment with a representative of McDonald's. He supported
the playground arrangement which will be done in pastel
colors and will cost about $50,000. Photographs of the
playground were examined. Commissioner Weiner asked why the
City has guidelines, if the City is not going to enforce
them. Mayor Moore felt a waiver should be given.
Mayor Moore passed the gavel and moved that the Commission
approve the playground. Commissioner Artis seconded the
motion which carried 3-2. Commissioner Weiner and
Commissioner DeLong voted against the motion. The gavel was
returned to the Mayor.
2. Zoning Problems -
Beauty Shop located at 1100 S. Federal Hwy.
Mayor Moore explained problems encountered by a business
that had applied for permits and found the property was
z~ned C-1 which did not allow beauty shops. The City's com-
puter system made an error and indicated the use was
allowable. Several thousand dollars were spent and the
owner found he was not able to operate in that zone.
29
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
Don Jaeger, Building Official explained the sequence of
events. The Building Official and Planning Director both
felt this would be an acceptable use in this zone, if
approved as a conditional use. The recommendation was to
start the procedure to amend the C-1 use, adding pro-
fessional services such as beauty shops, barber shops and
restaurants, as a conditional use.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to begin this procedure and to have
an Ordinance drafted. Commissioner DeLong seconded the
motion which carried 5-0.
3. Census Count
Mayor Moore stated the Palm Beach County Tax Collector had
computer capability to have the exact zip codes to circle
the City limits. This could be compared with automobiles
and the familial factor and would indicate with fair
accuracy how many residents Boynton Beach has. Although it
wouldn't be perfectly accurate, it could be compared with
the figure arrived at by the census workers. The City
Manager indicated the City was working on this.
4. Meeting Place for Boy Scouts
The Mayor asked about the status of a meeting place for the
Boy Scouts. Charles Frederick, Director of Recreation &
Parks responded that was part of the Civic Center proposal
which had been tabled earlier in the meeting. Other than
~hat, nothing was being provided. No representatives for
~he Boy Scouts were present in the audience.
5. Campaign Ads
Mayor Moore requested Commission permission to have the City
Attorney obtain an opinion from the Election Commission on
the pamphlet which had recently been published by the County
supporting the sales tax as well as the newspaper ad
recently published and not properly signed. The Mayor felt
the ads were definitely political. The Mayor wanted to know
whether these constituted violations. He didn't feel the
County should have spent $72,000 of taxpayers' money to pro-
duce the brochure. Vice Mayor Wische was interested in who
was responsible for the unsigned local ad. The
Commissioners were agreeable.
B. Consideration of approval - Certificate of Public
Convenience and Necessity - Limousine Service
Attorney Ken Metnick was present at the meeting to represent
the applicant, Executive Limousine Service. Mr. Metnick had
done a study which he believed proved the need for a
30
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
limousine service in Boynton Beach. The results of the
survey of neighboring communities was explained to the
Commission. Boynton Beach currently has only one limousin~
service, namely Mickey Pepper Limousines. Mr. Metnick
believed a monopoly exists in Boynton Beach. He commented
on Michael Cain's October 30, 1990 letter to the Mayor and
the Ordinance itself which he felt was unconstitutional and
unrealistic. Lengthy discussion with Michael Cain took
place. Mr. Cain did not think the need existed.
Mayor Moore asked if there was any problem with Executive
Limousine Service operating out of a private home. Don
Jaeger, Building Official stated the Building Dept. didn't
have a problem with one limousine being parked in the drive-
way and a telephone serving the business out of the home.
The City Attorney indicated the City was required to con-
sider each of the elements set forth in Code Section 24-5.
The information should be gathered either from the applicant
or by City staff. If the Commission was satisfied the ele-
ments exist, they could move forward and grant the
Certificate. Mr. Jaeger suggested the Commission consider
the information on the application and review the data
collected by the applicant. The applicant was asked to make
his data available to the City Attorney and City Manager.
Later in the meeting, additional brief comments were made on
this subject.
ADMINISTRATIVE
A. Consider appointing member to Community Redevelopment
Advisory Board for the Central Business District -
Term expires 8/91 - Appointment to be made by
Commissioner Lillian Artis (Previously Tabled)
Vice Mayor Wische moved to remove this topic from the table.

no objections.

There were
1. 10 Acre Site on Federal Highway (Previously Tabled)
Vice Mayor Wische moved to remove this topic from the table.
Commissioner Weiner seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
31
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
Charles Frederick, Director of Recreation & Parks explained
the Recreation & Parks Board requested the Commission to
consider allowing this site to go forward to the master
planning stages along with four other sites approved a few
weeks ago. At the next Recreation & Parks Board meeting
they would discuss the types of uses they would like to
recommend for consideration by the Commission. They hoped
to have the other four sites out for RFP on the master
planning (conceptual planning only) by the end of November,
1990. The Commission needed to decide whether it wanted to
include this site as a part of that planning process.
Public Hearings can be part of the master planning process.
Mr. Frederick stated there was presently no funding for the
project. Two Commissioners expressed concerns about limited
City funds at the present time. There will be a charge for
the master planning. There will be no cost connected with
going out for RFPs to determine how much the master planning
itself will cost. Comments were made about possible uses
for the 10 acre site.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to include this site along with the
other four sites and to proceed to RFP as long as the City
is not obligated. Commissioner Artis seconded the motion
which carried 5-0.
2. Beach Erosion
The Recreation & Parks Board and Mr. Frederick expressed
concern over progressive beach erosion. Palm Beach County
is presently in the process of doing a study on the
beachfront, south of the Inlet to the mid-point of our
beach. The County plans to proceed towards beach renourish-
ment, depending on what the State says. Mr. Frederick
suggested the City hold off on considering the coastal engi-
neering consultant until we see what happens. Mr. Frederick
intended to produce a report for the next meeting and a
request through the City Manager for a Resolution asking the
County to include the City's entire beach in their study.
Mr. Frederick hoped that through this process, the City
could get its beach taken care of through County, State and
Federal monies.
3. Ocean Ridge Beach Decals
The Recreation & Parks Board recommended the Commission
~econsider the recent decision not to sell beach decals
Ocean Ridge residents.
to
Comments were made about Boynton Beach property Ocean Ridge
is utilizing, the bridge situation and services provided
Boynton Beach by Ocean Ridge. Commissioner Artis had
32
MINUTE~ - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
received phone calls indicating some Ocean Ridge residents
were willing to pay twice the normal fee for a permit. If
this was opened up to Ocean Ridge residents, the Mayor
thought it should be opened up to citizens in the reserve
annexation area. Various opinions were expressed. Mr.
Frederick pointed out there were only 260 parking spaces.
Commissioner Weiner noted Ocean Ridge had only requested
about 50 permits at the regular fee.
Commissioner Weiner moved to sell beach decals to Ocean
Ridge residents at the same price City residents pay. Vice
Mayor Wische seconded the motion which carried 4-1. Mayor
Moo~e voted against the motion. This change will require an
Ordinance.
D. Consider approval for Stanley Consultants to perform
field surveys - West Wellfield Final Amendment
City Manager Miller explained three certified surveys were
needed which would include field verification and legal
descriptions for Wells 1W, 9W and Easement "A" in the amount
of $1,200. The work would be done by Stanley Consultants.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the recommendation.
Commissioner DeLong seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
E. Consider date for Special Meeting for
interviewing engineering consultants for the
Aquifer Storage Recovery Program
City Manager Miller explained the City had received five
responses to its request for qualifications. The Utilities
Dept. had reviewed the five proposals and concluded that
the top three firms were CH2M Hill, Geraghty and
Miller/Reese Macon and James M. Montgomery.
The Commission agreed Tuesday, November 27, 1990 at 5:00
P.M. would be the best time for the meeting.
F. Status Report on GALA
A written update from the Director of Recreation & Parks on
this year's GALA (Memorandum No. 90-536) had been provided
the Commission. Commissioner DeLong asked if she could par-
ticipate on the GALA Committee since she was now a
Commissioner. Mayor Moore instructed that she be added as
the City Commission's liaison. Charles Frederick noted they
were requesting that the program be extended into the
evening on Saturday night only, to accommodate a street
dance with special entertainment. The art exhibits would
remain open into the evening on Saturday as well.
33
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 7, 1990
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the new concept. The
motion was seconded and carried 5-0.
G. Authorization to purchase new police patrol vehicles
As explained in Police Chief Hillery's memorandum ~90-137,
purchase was recommended of eight 1991 Ford Crown Victoria
Police Cruisers at a total cost of $102,608.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve the purchase.
Commissioner Artis seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
H. Architectural agreement with Oscar Vagi Associates
for continued services during construction
phase of Ezell Hester Park
The Commission had been provided with the City Manager's
memorandum ~90-325 on this topic. Mr. Miller requested this
be tabled until the next Commission meeting. Mr. Miller
needed to discuss this further with Mr. Vagi and the sub-
architects. Brief remarks were made as to why the City no
longer will sign standard AIA contracts. The matter was
tabled.
I. Fire Station No. 3 - Change Order No. 11
City Manager Miller explained Change Order No. 11 in the
amount of $12,915 needed approval. This was for site
drainage required by the Water Management District and the
County Engineer. This was a design problem Mr. Miller
thought the Commission needed to look into and possibly go
after Miller, Meier, Kenyon & Cooper. The contractor had to
perform this work anyway, therefore, Mr. Miller believed he
should be paid.
Vice Mayor Wische moved to approve Change Order No. 11.
Commissioner DeLong seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
