cess can begin.

diverted around the Ocean Plaza shops for those three days.
A tent will be set up for some of the shows. City Manager
Cheney felt this would be good for the area and would create
~ different atmosphere.
3. Exploration of Wells
City Manager Cheney stated that the City Commission had
authorized the City to do some additional exploration of
wells including the old eastern well fields. During the
first test last week, the workers drilled down to about 330
feet and the initial drilling indicates there may be a new
source of supply down about 200-250 feet. The well's usually
go down only 90-100 feet. He anticipates they will dig a
larger hole to be sure the soil will not cave in. The ini-
tial steps look good, and they have moved the exploration
out west now.
The City Manager's Report was accepted as presented.
ADMINISTRATIVE
D. Review of City Commission Out-of-State Travel Policy
ommissioner Mann moved that Item D be removed from the
able. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Marchese.
There was some discussion regarding amendments which had
been suggested by Vice Mayor Marchese and Commissioner Mann.
ayor Cassandra explained to the audience that when a new
ommission starts their term of office, that Commission
usually adopts a travel policy. He read the approved policy
which states that a member who wishes to travel must get
Mayor and Commission approval prior to travel and prior to
~eceiving advancement for the travel costs. The expenses
Kan be preapproved for the remainder of the Fiscal Year if
the Commission so desires. The third paragraph deals with
~onflicts in a meeting and a City Commission meeting. The
fourth paragraph deals with expenses over $1,000 for any
lember. The fifth paragraph deals with making materials
!rom a meeting available for all the other Comissioners.
?he fifth paragraph was approved by the Commission.
Vice Mayor Marchese felt the policy should be amended by
limiting out-of-state travel to two members of the
Commission. This would allow the Mayor and one Commissioner
~y seniority and rotation to attend. This would be
increased to two Commissioners if the Mayor does not wish to
attend.

Commissioner Mann suggested that if a Commissioner is
appointed to vote in an organization, he did not feel it
ould be fair to allow someone else to attend that meeting
nd that member not be able to attend.
Vice Mayor Marchese felt the duties and responsibilities are
to the City of Boynton Beach primarily. There was further
iscussion. Mayor Cassandra recommended that none of the
mendments be considered. He felt that since all travel
must first be approved by the City Commission, there would
be not problems with deciding who should attend.
Motion was made to stay with the original policy and carried.
There was further discussion and the Commission decided to
return to the original agenda and discuss item E in its
proper place under "ADMINISTRATIVE." Commissioner Hester
made a motion to approve the Agenda. Commissioner Zibelli
~econded the motion which carried 5-0.

plants. Vice Mayor Marchese felt that the Forester should

Affordable Housing
Oretha Marshal, 105 N.E. 14th Avenue, came before the
~ommission requesting help in locating suitable, affordable
housing for her son and his seven children. Mrs. Marshal
stated that she was going to speak with Mr. Barry Seaman
with Palm Beach County, on Wednesday. Mrs. Marshal was con-
cerned about the lack of low cost housing in Boynton Beach.
City Manager Cheney pointed out that Boynton Beach does have
a number of subsidized projects and housing opportunities in
the City. There are never enough, and especially not enough
homes large enough to accommodate a family with seven
children. He felt that perhaps one or two units in the pro-
ject on Seacrest might have four bedrooms, but most have
only two or three bedrooms. The County Housing Authority
~as houses in Cherry Hill and none of those have more than
two bedrooms due to the type renovation approved fOr those
houses. City Manager Cheney felt that if anyone could
assist Mrs. Marshal's son in finding suitable housing, Mr.
Seaman would be the one. He felt that the chance of finding
such a home in Boynton Beach was not good. There is a
possibility that somewhere in the County, housing might be
available which would accommodate a large family.
Signs for Boynton Beach
Mike Greenhouse, 618 N.E. 20th Lane, expressed his concerns
regarding signage in the City. He travels often and has
noticed the good job that Boca Raton and Coral Springs have
done in relation to signage. He acknowledged that Boynton
Beach is doing a great job with its beautification projects
and felt more should be done in regard to signage. He felt
that the sooner something is done, the better for all con-
Cerned.
Commissioner Zibelli pointed out that several workshops had
already been held to discuss signage in the City. Mayor
Cassandra suggested that Mr. Greenhouse attend the next Sign
Code Workshop meeting and express his feelings at that
meeting as well.
Signs/Jack's Camera/Sidewalks, etc.
Robert Weir, 1720 S.W. 16th Street, stated that he owns
three pieces of property on Ocean and Federal. He referred
to The Bookstore and stated that it went out of business
because of signs. When he took over the property, there was
no mention of signs. He painted the walls white and told
the renters to get a billboard and hang it up. The people

spent the money, and then Mr. Weir was told they could not
hang the sign. He felt that when someone takes over a piece
of property, the City should inform them of the rules
regarding signs at that time. Mr. Weir continued by
referring to how much a person looks forward to going into
business for himself. He felt that it was a sad day when
that person is forced to go out of business.
Mr. Weir next made comments about Jack's Camera. The day
Mr. Weir took over the property on the corner (the auto air-
conditioning shop) he went into Jack's Camera and introduced
himself. Mr. Hirth remarked, "Oh, these people hate you
already." He wondered how they could hate him when he had
not even opened up. Mr. Hirth explained that they hated Mr.
Weir because they were parking on Mr. Weir's property. Mr.
Weir had left notes requesting that no one park there. Mr.
Weir felt that Mattie Hirth, who works for Mr. Cheney,
started to make trouble for him. Mr. Weir bought the
Hirth's property and put them out of business. Upon
purchasing the property, all the Building Department inspec-
tors came out to inspect the property. The electrical
inspector came first and he was surprised to see that the
air conditioning had been installed with so many violations.
Mr. Weir straightened it out the first day. When Mr. Hirth
moved out he remarked that the barber had been paying his
water bill all the years he was there. Mr. Weir was con-
cerned that Mr. Hirth had also been beating him out of gar-
bage and sewer.
Mr. Weir checked with the City and there was no record of
Jack's Camera. Mr. Weir stated that Mr. Hirth tapped the
barber's water and never paid a cent. Mr. Weir had to get a
permit to have a water main installed when he bought the
property.
Mayor Cassandra stated that City Manager Cheney would check
into the matter. He did not feel that anyone in this City
should take advantage of another person. Mr. Weir
stated that Mr. Hirth's wife works for the City and knows
all the "dirty tricks." Mayor Cassandra did not feel that
Mr. Weir wanted to say that, but Mr. Weir insisted. Mayor
Cassandra stated that he had said it and it was in the
records.
Mr. Weir stated that the tenant of The Bookstore had been
unable to get a temporary permit for her sign. City Manager
Cheney stated that a temporary permit could be issued under
the new code once the code is approved, but he was not sure
it was allowed at the present time. Mayor Cassandra stated
that the owner of The Bookstore had written the Commission
-16-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 19, 1988
and they were aware of all her problems. Under the old
Community Redevelopment Agency and old Downtown Review
Board, the sign was not allowed. Under the new Commission,
there is a concern for business and they do not want
anything like this to happen again.
Mr. Weir then talked about the proposed widening of the
sidewalks and making a one-way street. He questioned the
widening of the sidewalks four feet on each side so that
millions of people could walk there. He had never seen more
than two people walking. He questioned the need to widen
the sidewalks and put pots and plants there.
Mayor Cassandra felt that there are dreamers and those who
do not want to dream in this world. He did not want to lose
the dreams, as often reality comes from dreams. Mayor
Cassandra stated that the one-way street had not occurred,
was not approved, and at the present time, was not even
eing considered. A new idea is being considered rather
ban widening the sidewalks. Mayor Cassandra thanked Mr.
Weir for his interest and participation.
Renaming of Airport
alterKies, 2109 S.W. 22nd Street, stated that he did not
~eel that Boynton Beach had any friends on the board at Palm
each County. He attended a meeting where a proclamation
as passed honoring David McCambell who is a resident in the
~oun%y. It was suggested that the name of the airport be
renamed in honor of Mr. McCambell. The name of McCambell
International Airport of West Palm Beach was the proposed
name. He did not feel that a name change was a big deal and
should be accomplished with no real problems. The city of
Lake Worth has passed a resolution to the County regarding
this. Mr. Kies suggested that Boynton Beach do the same.
ayor Cassandra and the Commmissioners felt this should be
dded to the Agenda so that it could be considered by the
City Commission at the February 2, 1988 meeting.
Trashbaskets
Wilda Searcy, 402 N.E. 13th Avenue, asked what City Manager
Cheney was doing about the proposal that Mr. Harvin from
Community Redevelopment had sent to the City. City Manager
Cheney stated this was an annual application which they had
received and were in the processing of reviewing it. Once
the staff has reviewed it, it will be given to the City
Commission for approval. In response to a question by Mrs.
Searcy, City Manager Cheney stated that a meeting of the
-17-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING

South County District will be held on Congress Avenue on
January 28th. Mrs. Searcy was also concerned about the lack
~f wastebaskets on Martin Luther King Boulevard. She liked
~he ones on wheels that are used by Ft. Lauderdale and
Atlanta, Georgia.
As no one else wished to speak, the PUBLIC AUDIENCE WAS
!CLOSED.
City Manager Cheney clarified that it should be understood
~hat no decision had been made to place wastebaskets on any
of the streets at this time.
DLD BUSINESS
A. Discussion of Community Redevelopment Agency
Organization
Mayor Cassandra referred to an organizational chart in the
~genda packet. City Manager Cheney stated that the reason
for the chart was to provide a coordinated approach to
Problems which had been discussed, This chart pulls all the
pieces together and does not leave loose ends hanging.
Commissioner Hester clarified that the CRA Director would be
~esponsible fOr all the policy and other areas, and City
Manager Cheney agreed this person would be responsible for
activities of the Community Redevelopment area, (commercial
and residential), plans and proposed new programs of housing
rehabilitation, redevelopment loans and grants, and plans
are to put Code Enforcement in the CRA area as well. It was
felt that Code Enforcement woUld work best under the CRA.
Vice Mayor Marchese questioned the second organization chart
~CommunitY Improvement Director).and noted that the line of
~uthority goes to City Manager Cheney. City Manager Cheney
~xplained that recommendations fOr policy ~come from the
Staff to City Manager Cheney and then he gives it to the
COmmission for approval or denial. One person and the staff
gan still be held accountable for getting things done.
Commissioner Zibelli had a problem with removing the Code
Enforcement people from the Building Department. City
Manager Cheney felt that the new Director of Community
Redevelopment should spend some time to see where the City
has been and where it is going. The Director will need to
~pend some time with the Plantec representative as well.
City Manager Cheney felt that after 6 to 8 mOnths, the
Commission could consider whether or not it is a good idea
%0 move the Code Enforcement people under the Community
Redevelopment Director. Commissioner Zibelli still felt
Ghat the Code Enforcement belongs in the Building

Department. City Manager Cheney stated that the Commission
will start interviewing applicants for the new position on
Saturday, and he felt that the applicants should know what
the job will be when making their decision.
Mayor Cassandra felt that the applicants could be told that
there is a possibility the Code Enforcement people will be
brought under the direction of the Community Redevelopment
Director. He did not feel that a final decision had to be
made prior to the interviews.
Commissioner Mann questioned whether this woUld obviate the
City Commission to act as the CRA. City Manager Cheney
stated that it did not, but it did incorporate acting with
two hats.
Mayor Cassandra did not have any problem with wearing two
hats. He did not feel that two sets of people could make
decisions for the City. Vice Mayor Marchese wanted to be
sure that the final aurhority would be the responsibility of
the City Commission.
Vice Mayor Marchese moved to approve the Community
Redevelopment Agency Organization with the Code Enforcement
issue being discussed at a later date. Commissioner Hester
seconded the motion which carried 5-0.
After a short break the meeting resumed at 9:37 P. M.
Bo
Discussion of Multi-Purpose building site and Congress
Avenue Park Development
City Manager Cheney stated that since the decision has been
made to locate the new Multi-Purpose Building at the down-
town site, plans can now be made about the Congress Avenue
site. The suggestion has been made to place 8 additional
tennis courts at the Congress Avenue site. The courts could
then be eliminated at the downtown site. This would provide
more space for parking. City Manager Cheney felt this was
a good time to have Wallace, Roberts and Todd (W.R.T.) look
at this and give recommendations. Money is earmarked for
developing the Congress Avenue site. There has been a
suggestion that perhaps a good idea would be to have neigh-
borhood tennis courts (possibly at Forest Park School, Girl
Scout Park, etc). There has been talk of putting in a major
Senior Citizen Center at the Congress Avenue site. There
are problems with the present Senior Citizen building as it
is old and parking will become more of a problem. A new
building could have a better design with more activities
available. City Manager Cheney felt it would be good to
-19-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 19, 1988
have a Senior Citizen Advisory Board which could make recom-
mendations to the Commission. The shuffleboard courts
could be replaced and more added, lawn bowling could be made
available, horseshoes, etc.
City Manager Cheney referred to a survey which had been con-
ducted regarding distances people live from the present
Senior Citizen Center. He pointed out there used to be
over 600 members, but that number has greatly decreased due
to the change in living patterns of those who use the
center. Most people live more than a mile away from the
present center. He did not feel that relocating the center
would be a problem for most of those people who use the
center. It would be impossible to meet the needs of all the
people.
There was some discussion regarding the location of the
playground. City Manager Cheney also pointed out that the
drawing shows the Multi-Purpose Building as a block. That
does not indicate the shape the new building will be. The
design could save the existing playgounds. It is felt that
they should be moved near the Library or the tennis courts.
Some type playground should be located downtown for the
children. Mayor Cassandra had been thinking about the
possibility of some type of supervised babysitting. City
Manager Cheney felt that due to the large number of people
who would probably be using the multi-purpose building, a
day care type facility could probably be self supporting.
Commissioner Zibelli was concerned about the people who live
very near the present center. She questioned whether or not
a room could be provided at the new Multi-Purpose Building
for those who simply wish to play cards, etc. City Manager
Cheney felt this was a good possibility as several rooms
would be available for various activities. No shuffleboard
would be available, but indoor games could be accommodated.
There would also be some space available at the school.
Mayor Cassandra pointed out that the proposal is to build a
58,000 square foot building. That would not exclude the
possibility of going to a two story building and gaining
more square footage.
City Manager Cheney discussed the possibility of purchasing
the condominiums. The people who own the condominiums have
already contacted City Manager Cheney. He told them he
would try to have some information for them in two or three
months. Now that word is out that the City proposes to
purchase them, the owners will have a difficult time selling
the condos, and the possibility exists that the owners may
decide to increase the sales price.
-20-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 19, 1988
Mayor Cassandra stated that $1.3 million is in the budget
for Undesignated Funds. City Manager Cheney pointed out
that may change as other budget figures become actual
figures. Mayor Cassandra felt that the Undesignated Funds
could possibly be used to purchase the condominiums. These
funds could be replaced at the next budget time by a one
time millage charge. He was not in favor of taxes, but
could see that might work in this case. He feared that the
price for the condos might increase if the City waited
another year to purchase them. The original asking price
was around $850,000. He felt this was the time to start
negotiating with the condo owners.
Vice Mayor Marchese questioned whether or not a double tier
parking facility would be made available where the con-
dominiums are located. He was told this has been proposed.
Charles Frederick, Director of Recreation and Park
Department, suggested that traffic be restricted on S.E. 1st
Avenue. Mayor Cassandra pointed out that special zoning had
been discussed and asked if this area would require special
zoning for Ocean Avenue. Mr. Annunziato stated that the
neighborhood south of Boynton Beach Boulevard is changing.
In the past the residents have been older people. It is
felt this is changing and they will be replaced with fami-
lies with more children. This will necessitate a continuing
need for some type recreation in the neighborhood. The plan
would also offer additional parking in the area of the
Library. Ocean Avenue needs to be addressed with public
improvements. Much thought has been given to this area.
Some of the proposals have been radical in their approach.
The Planning Department should have some suggestions within
the next few weeks.
City Manager Cheney stated that as this project comes to an
end, possibly within the next two years, some thought will
need to be given to improvements to the streets and to
cleaning them up.
Mr. Frederick felt this would give them time to work with
the seniors to determine their desires and needs.
Commissioner Mann was concerned that the people at the
senior center have no idea of what the plans are. The
people plan to paint the building and hang new drapes. He
did not wish to see them go through with the plans when the
building would not be used. He asked about the property
east of the condominiums also. He did not know what that
property would be used for. He wanted the planners to do
their job and not come back and ask the Commission what
they wished to do.
-21-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 19, 1988
City Manager Cheney stated that the City staff did not make
a habit of going to the people prior to talking to the
Commission. He continued that in the beginning the
designers were not given any flexibility in this project.
The City will be involved in every step of the process. The
designers have now come back and asked for more freedom and
City Manager Cheney told them he would present this to the
Commission and let them decide. The designers can now go
back and do their creative projects and come back with their
suggestions. The land to the east must be addressed when
the Comprehensive Plan is addressed. Some of the freedom
to address block by block is lost as it now must be
addressed in the context of the whole plan, capital improve-
ment, etc.
ommissioner Hester made a motion that the City Manager be
irected to enter into negotiations for the condominiums and
that consideration be given to using the Undesignated Funds
for the purchase. Vice Mayor Marchese seconded the motion.
Mayor Cassandra complimented the Commission for making the
provisions for making the City the best in the area. Motion
carried 5-0.
Contract for Congress Avenue Park
City Manager Cheney requested that he be authorized to reac-
tivate the contract for the Congress Avenue Park so that as
they begin to meet with the senior citizens, the architect
can be doing some initial planning. He clarified that the
money is there. Mayor Cassandra asked City Attorney Rea if
the contract of $800,000 could be reactivated without going
to bidding. City Attorney Rea would have to check into the
contract and make an evaluation.
Vice Mayor Marchese made a motion to authorize negotiations
to reactivate the contract for the Congress Avenue Park sub-
ject to legal approval. Commissioner Hester seconded the
motion which carried 5-0. City Manager Cheney stated that a
new cost estimate would also be addressed.
C. Shooters Property
Commissioner Zibelli felt that after giving this much
thought, this is the last piece of property left in the City
from Federal Highway to the Intracoastal. She wanted to see
it placed on a referendum and go to the voters to see if
they wish to have this property for the City of Boynton
Beach. This could belong solely to the City. The property
presently owned was bought through State funds and the City
is limited in their control of it.
-22-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
JANUARY 19, 1988
Bob Olenik, 29D Crossing Circle, agreed that the citizens
of Boynton Beach should have the final say regarding the
purchase of this property. He felt that a package should be
presented to the citizens which would outline what the park
would look like, what is wanted in the park, what is
expected to be the cost for the park, whether this is
feasible, any environmental problems, etc. He felt time
should be taken now to make sure a sound project could be
available to work with. He felt if it did not make the
March ballot, that was no problem. Commissioner Zibelli
pointed out this could be put on the November ballot, if
desired. City Attorney Rea said it could be placed on the
September, October or November ballot.
Mickey Cain, 632 Las Palmas Park, felt another look should
be taken at this property. It could possibly be used for
something other than a park. It is a one of a kind pro-
perty - on both Federal Highway and the waterway. He felt
it would be feasible to sublease the property to a hotel and
grant a land lease so that it could be used, but the City
ould own the property. It could possibly be used partially
y the City and partially by someone else. He noted that
$2.4 million is the amount for the total property. $1.7
million is under a 10 percent mortgage, with one year irrto
that mortgage. He felt this was a good deal for the City
and wished to see them pursue it further by going to the
people. He felt the entire picture should be presented to
the people and not just the park concept. This could be a
very good real estate deal.
Commissioner Hester also felt the people should decide.
Vice Mayor Marchese had no problem with going back to the
people with a plan.
Commissioner Mann originally was against this as he felt it
would be "land banking." Now he feels it makes good sense.
He had no objection in going to the people as long as they
understand the specific pure]Rase and that it is $7.5 million
and not really $2.5 million. The people deserve the right
to say yes or no.
Mayor Cassandra stated that he had worked hard to get this
brought before the Commission and they had turned it down
for $2 million. Now that it is at $2.4, everyone is in
favor. He was concerned about the word of commitment from
the sellers to sell for $2 million. He felt that it was a
good idea to put it on the November referendum as this would
allow time to tell the people the property had been down-
zoned to R-3 and might not be appraised as high as it had
-23-

been. He suggested that another appraisal be done and let
the owners pay for it. The City could split the difference
with them. If it comes out at $2.2 million, the City would
buy it for $2.1 million. If it came back at $1.8 million,
the City would buy it for $1.9 million.- The seller should
pay for the appraisal.
City Manager Cheney agreed to talk with the seller. The
City will select the appraiser. The consensus of the City
Commission was that this should be done.
D. 20 Acre Park
City Manager Cheney referred to the Scope of Work he had
passed out to the Commissioners. The first page outlines
the number of meetings proposed to be held. There would be
three neighborhood meetings held within the next four weeks.
One would be at Rolling Green School, one at Wilson Center,
and one at Royal Palm Clubhouse. A core steering committee
could then be selected to represent all the areas. After
that and the environmental analysis, a citizen meeting could
be held with representatives with environmental interest.
The :core committee would also have environmental represen-
tatives on their group to assist from the beginning. There
will be staff meetings as well. In all, 13 formal meetings
are proposed. This agreement would get the City through the
planning stage and to the point where the next contract
Would be for the design of specific things - buildings,
playgrounds, roads, parks, etc. The contract is for $61,500
hich is an upset price. He explained that this means that
he contractor will keep track of their hours and will not
go over the $61,500. If less hours are needed, the City
will be charged accordingly. This does not include standard
reimbursable type items which the City has agreed to go
ahead and get done. City Manager Cheney is happy with the
contract and feels it meets all the needs.
Mayor Cassandra asked City Attorney Rea if the City is
legally covered here. City Attorney Rea said there were no
problems.
Vice Mayor Marchese moved to accept the contract with Oscar
yaggi & Associates Architects, Inc with the stipulation of
its legality and not to exceed $61,500. Commissioner Mann
seconded the motion which carried 5-0.

A. Selection of Consultant for Coastal Zone Management
Study
Mr. Annunziato reported that Bob Swarthout had met with
representatives from Ocean Ridge. Ocean Ridge would not
agree to have Mr. Swarthout represent both Ocean Ridge and
Boynton Beach. As a result, Mr. Swarthout removed himself
~rom representing Boynton Beach. Mr. Annunziato proposed
~hat Walt Keller, who is a very good planner, represent the
City without Bob Swarthout. He mentioned that the other two
firms are also well qualified.
Mayor Cassandra's only concern was that the City staff,
Planning Director and City Manager were happy with the group
without Swarthout. Mr. Annunziato stated that he had talked
with Mr. Swarthout and Mr. Swarthout strongly recommended
that the City continue with the group without him. Mr.
Annunziato felt that Walt Keller could do the work well.
City Attorney Rea stated there were no fundamental legal
problems involved in this issue.
Commissioner Mann wanted to know if the fee of $61,500 would
be lowered since Mr. Swarthout will not be available. City
Manager Cheney stated that a precise scope of services was
not agreed to. It is not known if the $61,500 fee would
have been the real figure. Commissioner Mann asked if the
price would reflect the absence of one of the people. Mr.
Annunziato stated that potentially this was true.
~ommissioner Mann stated that there had been much interest
in choosing another group to do the work. Vice Mayor
Marchese asked if Mr. Keller was the person who made the
ecommendation that the bridge should go straight through
rom Boynton Beach Boulevard. .
Mr Annunziato stated that
Mr. Keller had worked with Palm Beach County and that had
been his recommendation as a public planner. Mr. Keller is
working with the Department of Transportation (DOT) on the
turnpike interchange.
Vice Mayor Marchese, upon recommendations from the Staff and
ity Manager, made a motion to direct the City Manager to

for the Coastal Zone Management Study. Motion was seconded
by Commissioner Mann and carried 5-0.
