REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
May 15, 2001
Vice Mayor Weiland questioned the necessity of a Security Officer for the Schoolhouse Museum
since it was not yet opened.
Ms. Virginia Farace, Library Director, came forward and explained that they were not asking
for greater coverage than they already had and that it was a matter of semantics. The Agenda
Item should probably have read "...Ezell Hester Jr. Community Center, the Public Library, and
the campus between the Library and the Schoolhouse Museum .... "She said there was one
Security Officer who covered both buildings and also patrolled the area outside between the
Library and the Museum. Vice Mayor Weiland said that was not readily apparent in reading the
backup and Ms. Farace agreed.
Motion
Commissioner Fisher moved to accept Agenda Item V-B.1. Commissioner Ferguson seconded
the motion that passed unanimously.
V-C.2
Proposed Resolution R01-186 authorizing execution of a Purchase and
Sale Agreement between the City of Boynton Beach and Florida East Coast
Railway for Lots 8 and 9.
City Manager Bressner distributed an aerial photo of the property to the Commissioners and
Mayor. Vice Mayor Weiland remarked that his original question had been answered.
Motion
Vice Mayor Weiland moved to approve Agenda Item V-C.2. Commissioner Fisher seconded the
motion that carried unanimously.
V-C.4
Proposed Resolution R01-188 authorizing the execution of an agreement
between the City of Boynton Beach and Palm Beach County providing for
the satisfaction of the City's connection fees and capital facilities charges
by Palm Beach County on behalf of those residents of Tucks Road so
electing
Vice Mayor Weiland said he did not understand what drove this project and wanted some
comments from staff about why this Road got water when Coelebs, Edgar, and three other
streets to the south had been begging for Boynton Beach water for the last fifteen years? It
appeared that Tucks Road was getting preferential treatment. As a Commissioner he needed to
explain to the people on the other roads, who had approached him several times over the past
two and a half years, when they would be receiving Boynton Beach water. It appeared from the
backup that 100% participation of the homeowners was not required. Vice Mayor Weiland
realized that this would be more revenue that the City would receive and was not refusing to
approve the Resolution.
Pete Mazella, Assistant to the Utilities Director, said Tucks Road was in a slightly different
situation than the other roads mentioned by Vice Mayor Weiland. It is bound on the west by
Lawrence Road, which has City water. It is bounded on the east by part of the Barwood
subdivision which has City water and City sewer in it. Stubouts were provided for future
connections to Tucks Road. This made installing the infrastructure on Tucks Road much easier.

Tucks Road is also a much shorter road than Coelebs and the others. It was his understanding
that the County was still trying to build a consensus on some of the other roads where residents
did not agree about having the water. Some did not want to pay for the infrastructure and
improvements along the whole road. The other streets are much longer and would be more of
an engineering challenge to put water into. Tucks Road was a project that was ready to
happen, primed by the construction of Barwood.
Vice Mayor Weiland understood what Mr. Mazella said but also said that the County might have
to run pipe % of a mile to the south on Barwick Road and east on each street. The backup
stated that Tucks Road did not have to have 100% participation. If pipes were run south on
Lawrence Road, east on each one of these streets, all the way to the end of the street, people
could sign up or not as they saw fit, just like on Tucks. He still did not understand. He said
there was water going to Cypress Creek that was due west of those five streets and just due
south of them and due north.
Commissioner Fisher said that even if the City wanted to put water on those other streets, did
the City have any right to do so without the County's intervention? Mr. Mazella said that the City
had no taxing authority to assess those people. Commissioner Fisher said whether the City
wanted to or not, they could not go in there because it was up to the County and Mr. Mazella
agreed. If the County wanted to do the rest of those streets, would there be any reason the City
would not partner with the County on those streets as well? Mr. Mazella said the City would be
willing to connect the other streets but clarified that whether the residents connected or not,
everybody on the street was going to be assessed for the water improvements that crossed
their frontage, regardless of their connection or lack thereof.
Vice Mayor Weiland understood all of the aforesaid but still wanted to know why the County was
"ponying up" for Tucks Road and not the other rOads in the area? He had been hearing
complaints from area residents for fifteen years but never from Tucks Road.
Mr. Mazella said he would get Vice Mayor Weiland an answer to his question.

Approve Resolution R01-190 releasing the remaining surety on the Hills of

the dedications, and the maintenance responsibilities of those
improvements dedicated to the City.
Stella Rossi, 625 Whispering Pines Road, Boynton Beach, said she was involved with the
environment and with this subdivision since its inception in 1995. She thought there had been
some clearing done on the site without a permit, and she did not know if there was a fine levied
but she believed there was. She wondered if this had been satisfied? She was concerned
about the release of surety in this regard. She also needed information about the continued
maintenance of the two preservation areas. Mr. Bressner said he would have the Planning
Department get back to Ms. Rossi with answers to her questions.

V-E.1 Request to grant a variance of 5,092 square feet in order to construct a car
wash on an existing property, Zuhair Marouf
Commissioner Fisher asked how a car wash fit in with the recently completed study of the
Federal Highway Corridor?
Mike Rumpf, Planning and Zoning Director, said that the Corridor Plan contains some site
specific but mostly general land use and zoning and design recommendations for the Corridor.
The subject variance site is within the study's Planning Area No. 1, and there is specific
language that emphasizes the residential uses and preservation of them. It specifically read,
"provide strong residential base, aesthetically inviting areas. Those non-residential uses that
are to be promoted shall be community serving versus heavy commercial, auto oriented and
those which are not neighborhood-oriented .... "The report also implies that there is going to be
a strong commercial/residential transition and speaks of development standards that will protect
the residential areas against those commercial areas, which are going to front on the Federal
Highway Corridor. As for implementation of it and in anticipation of what the zoning regulations
would look like, it was= early but he would say that the zoning along Federal Highway would be
changed to residential land uses so commercial zoning would be consistent. Their focus then
would be on the car wash use itself.
Mr. Rumpf continued, saying that a car wash use is auto-oriented and the car wash would not
be promoted in that area if it were not for the gas station adjoining Federal Highway. The gas
station is non-conforming but has been there many years. Unless it were to be redeveloped,
the gas station was not likely to be going away. The review of staff focused on the merits of the
variance from the hardship point of view.
Commissioner Fisher said that the building that faced Federal Highway was non-conforming
and questioned building another non-conforming use, a car wash, at the same place. Mr.
Rumpf replied that the use itself would not be non-conforming unless the zoning code was
changed to prohibit that type of use. Commissioner Fisher asked if they had the option of
requesting no visibility of the car wash from Federal Highway? Mr. Rumpf said it did set back
behind the gas station. Commissioner Fisher asked if no visibility from Federal Highway and
screening landscaping could be put forth as a stipulation of approval? Mr. Cherof confirmed
that the City could impose conditions on the granting of the variance. Commissioner Fisher
stated that if the gas station got leveled next year, could the car wash be hidden from Federal
Highway? Mr. Rumpf said he would recommend and was sure that the designer would place
the structure the maximum distance from the single family homes, which would place it very
close to the building, actually placing it up against the back of the Texaco station itself. He
thought between that design and landscaping, it could be reasonably buffered.
City Attorney Cherof said that if the Commission were contemplating that type of condition, he
recommended tabling the matter until the next meeting to afford time for additional notice to
adjacent property owners.

Vice Mayor Weiland noted that the owner of the property was present and he believed the car
wash would be a moot point if the gas station were not there. From his understanding, this was
not a full-service car wash but an automated one.
Michael Weiner appeared on behalf of Steve Marouf, the owner of the gas station, and
affirmed that it would be an automatic car wash. At the CRA Board meeting where the project
was approved 4 to 3, they had already agreed to and placed on the record that there would be
limitations. The limitations included meet or exceed all landscaping codes, that there would be
no left turn signs and that it would be routed so that people could only come onto Federal
Highway and not go back in the neighborhood, that there would be restrictions on the hours,
that there would be a six foot privacy wall at the back, that there would be appropriate sound-
deadening with the most efficient equipment, that the gas station would be operated separately
from the car wash, and that the car wash would be automatic so there would be no queuing or
waiting. He did not believe that additional conditions needed to be placed on the project since
the conditions placed on the project by the CRA would survive and be part of the approval
tonight.
Jim Warnke, 617 Lakeside Harbor, stated that he lived about 500 feet away from the
proposed car wash. He said he and his neighbors were not so much complaining about the
noise from the boom boxes and the cars because it was zoned for use as a car wash. They
were complaining about the variance from the 15,000 square feet that was required for this
usage. The applicant is asking to put the application on a less than 10,000 square foot lot. He
said there were 25 residents on Las Palmas and Lakeside Harbor who were against the car
wash and asked if the Commissioners had received a copy of their petition? There were nods
of assent. Mr. Warnke urged the Commissioners to vote against this variance.
Andrew Place, Gateway Boulevard, Boynton Beach, said he had been a customer of the
Gateway Texaco for many years. He said that in that time, he had seen the business
transformed from what would have been a car repair shop into a gas station. Mr. Marouf had
really turned it around and turned it into a gas/convenience store operation. He believed that
based on Mr. Marouf's handling of the property thus far, he could be trusted to keep it well in the
future and urged the Commissioners to grant the variance.
Richard Zoeller, 649 Las Palmas Parkway, Boynton Beach, was in support of Mr. Warnke's
comments. He wanted to know if the Planning & Zoning Department researched the rest of the
City to find where other commercial enterprises were operating on less than the 15,000 square
feet on C3 and if any were as small as 9,908 square feet like this property? Commercial use
means traffic throughout the operating hours in and out. Las Palmas Parkway is a narrow, two-
lane road, which services eleven homes, and at the end of it there is a cul de sac built up with
very expensive homes on the water. Today, when you use the street to come and go, there
was congestion at the Federal Highway intersection at the traffic light. Normally you could make
a right turn on red if there were no cars coming on Federal. Now, because of cars coming out of
the gas station and sitting on the line of the center of the road, there isn't room for two cars. Mr.
Zoeller believed that the car wash would contribute to a significant increase in traffic.
Terry Pereira, 7692 Colonial Lakes Drive, Boynton Beach, said he had been a customer of
the gas station in question for many years and found the owner to be an honorable man who
had made great improvements at the gas station. He had full confidence that what he proposed
to do there he would do. He does intend for the car wash to be as unobtrusive as possible in

the community. The staff did recommend this variance being passed. They also said that
regardless of what actually comes in there it would always have to have a variance. Why not
grant the variance to the man who owns the property, and who has shown that his word is
good?
Vice Mayor Weiland noted that a lot of the zoning codes in the City were in need of redoing.
This individual has shown that he is capable of providing the necessary landscaping and using
the property correctly in accord with staff's requirements. He believed the difference in square
footage was a mere technicality.
Motion
Vice Mayor Weiland moved to approve Item V-E.1. Commissioner Ferguson seconded the
motion.
Commissioner Fisher asked about the length of the line at the car wash. With a smaller lot as
this request, how many cars could wait in line before it had an impact on the road by backing up
into the roadway? Mr. Rumpf said this would be addressed at Site Plan approval. When
pressed again by Commissioner Fisher about an estimate of the number of cars, Mr. Rumpf
replied "from four to ten".
Mayor Broening pointed out that the Commission was not being asked to approve the Site Plan,
which would come before them at another time. The Commission was being asked to make a
decision based upon the existing situation and there is a demonstrated hardship based on the
way the property was zoned in the past. According to staff and the narrow vote of the CRA
Board, that stands. It is up to the CommissiOn whether it wants to grant the variance for the
size.
The motion carried 4-0.
A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS WAS DECLARED AT 8:05 P.M.
AT 8:10 THE MEETING WAS RECONVENED.

Mayor Broening stated that in the interests of time, the speeches would be limited to two
minutes. If anyone noted that someone else had already said essentially the same thing that
they were planning to say, Mayor Broening asked that they consider relinquishing their time.
William Cwynar, 2701 S.W. 8th Street, Boynton Beach, said he had been a resident in
Boynton Beach since 1974. Mr. Cwynar gave kudos to the Commission for the good job they
were doing. With all the progress that was being made by the=current Commission, he did not
think having to train someone was good for the City. He believed somebody was needed that
had experience. He felt this was really necessary to keep the City moving.

issue years ago. He found that he had a great deal of integrity, tremendous knowledge about
the City, and a great sense of fairness in all he did and spoke about. His previous term as a
Commissioner gave him a great deal of experience and he thought this was essential at this
time. He said some were trying to make it an issue of black against white and district against
district and that was counterproductive to the best interests of the City. Single district voting is a
great and good thing but he would hate to see any part of the City trying to compete with
another on the terms previously mentioned. He believed that Mr. Katz's experience and past
productivity pointed to him as the best choice.
John Cooper, 975 N.W. 10th Street, Boynton Beach, said he believed this should be put to
the vote of the people, that the taxpayers should have a voice in the matter. He was personally
not in favor of Mr. Katz. The person he wanted to fill the vacancy was open-minded, caring, and
considerate of all the people in the community and what was good for all of Boynton Beach,
regardless of their personal views or opinions.
Kathy Floyd, 703 N.W. 11th Street, Boynton Beach, respectfully requested that the decision
of the replacement of the District II seat on the Commission be made by the citizens of Boynton
Beach in a Citywide vote. If the decision was made to make the decision at the Commission
level, Ms. Floyd wished her strong objection to the appointment of David Katz as Commissioner
to be placed on the record.
Terry Pereira, 7692 Colony Lake Drive, Boynton Beach, referring to Mr. Katz, pointed to a
lack of attendance at a Board to which he was elected which demonstrated his lack of
commitment to his responsibilities and to the people of Boynton Beach. Mr. Pereira brought up
the minutes from the August 1, 2001 City Commission meeting when single member districts
were being discussed. Those minutes reflect this: "Vice Mayor Weiland believes a more diverse
Commission is needed." I would like, therefore, to impress on the entire Commission that here
is a perfect opportunity to live up to the argum&nts they presented for single member districts. If
a faceless, colorless, and genderless look at this appointment is taken and compared with the
last appointment, the Commission will see that a person with no experience as a Commissioner
won over one who did. That is exactly what we have now. We have an apples-to-apples
situation gentleman, so let's get apple juice out of this, not lemonade.
Regis Accethulla, 508 N.W. 10th Court, Boynton Beach, was in favor of Mr. David Katz
because of his experience working in the community and thought he was a viable candidate for
the opening.
Marie Traylor, 1249 Gondola Street, Boynton Beach, wanted to .tell everyone present about a
very special person, David Katz, and that he wanted to be the City's next Commissioner. She
had known him for over ten years and knew that he was the right person for the job. She said
he was knowledgeable in City government and had been a Commissioner in the past and she
realized the asset his knowledge would be on the Commission. Ms. Traylor stated that she had
lived in the City since 1989 and was a police officer who had recently retired after 17 years with
the City. During that time she saw Mr. Katz make decisions that were not in the interests of the
fewbut in the best interests of all. As a taxpayer, she was concerned that the people who were
ina position to make the major decisions that concern the City take into consideration the
outcome and how it will affect everyone, not just the people in a particular District, and most

importantly, how it would affect the City in the future. When Ms. Traylor called Mr. Katz today,
he said he must be crazy to take on the responsibility again. She told him he was doing it
because he cared. He has a family and a full-time job but has kept himself informed of the City
and government projects. This takes a lot of time and effort on his part and he is not even an
elected official. She asked that the Commissioners select David Katz as the new
Commissioner.
Tim Hill, 1045 N.W. 10th Street, Boynton Beach, respectfully requested that the vacant
position for District II be put up for a vote of the community.
Mike Vargas, 663 N.W. 11th Street, Boynton Beach, spoke on behalf of Mr. David Katz. He
had known Mr. Katz for three years and had seen his involvement with the community. He
served for three years on the Homeowner's Association in their development and successfully
negotiated a cable contract for the development, which saved approximately $250 per year for
each homeowner. He worked with the Public Works Department to change their trash pick-up
day from Friday to Monday, allowing their development to be less affected by unsightly trash
and debris. He also had their voting location changed to one closer to their homes. He was a
friend who can be counted on, regardless of the situation. He is well aware of Boynton Beach's
needs and requirements to maintain this quality of life. He brings his knowledge and expertise
to the position since he served as Commissioner previously for the City.
Herb Suss, 1711 Wood Fern Drive, Boynton Beach, stated that the Mayor had asked for
information and he said he had documented, public record information, an application from Mr.
Katz for a Board appointment where he had put "two years of college" down on the application,
signed January 8, 1992. On a different page for the same position, he put four years of college
and it was dated April 15, 1992 and signed on July 14, 1992. He questioned the credibility of
Mr. Katz. He was applying to be City Commissioner and the City Commission was going to
make the choice. If they did, credibility was an issue. Mr. Suss asked that the Commission not
put the City back twenty years. He also said that anybody on the Commission who felt they had
a lOyalty to Mr. Katz had already voted once and paid their loyalty back. Give the citizens and
me the loyalty because what you do or don't do has an effect on my life as well as everybody
else in here. Mr. McCray has been at every City Commission meeting. He does not need "on-
the,job" training. He knows full well what the developments are and can immediately sit up
there and do the job. Give us diversification. Your loyalty is to the citizens.
Elizabeth Jenkins, 711 N.W. 1s~ Street, Boynton Beach, said she was here because she lived
in District II and well knew that the voters had spoken. She was concerned about the way the
Commissioner who had just come on board was trying to get Mr. Katz in. They have already
told the City what they needed and what they wanted. To get someone on the Commission just
for what they know or can dig up is bad news. We need a diverse Commission and City. She
said the Commissioners had put Mr. Katz on the Board but he had missed four meetings. When
she missed four meetings she got a letter and she had to struggle to get back on even after she
explained. She had to call the Mayor and the City Clerk in the process. She said this was
wrong. Shestated that the north end needed somebody that would stand for them. How could
they know who was going to stand until they tried the best?
Teresa Arsenault, 722 N.W. 11th Street, Boynton Beach, spoke on behalf of David Katz. She
thought he would make a fine Commissioner and if the Commissioners decided on a citywide
vote, she thought every vote should count.

Mary Louise Orr, 159 S.E. 27th Way, Boynton Beach, spoke in support of David Katz. She
had lived in the City for 30 years and had known him for over 20 years. She said he had always
been there for her and had helped her in the neighborhood when there were problems. She
supported him wholeheartedly.
Ray Capobianco, 60 Paxford Lane, Boynton Beach, stated that he had been a resident since
1989 and had seen Boynton Beach really growing. He believed the City needed a
Commissioner that had experience in dealing with City problems and was honest and that
person was a former Commissioner, David Katz.
Dee Zibelli, 440 Ocean Parkway, Boynton Beach, said they should all be ashamed of what is
happening to our City where outside residents or outside interests, both black and white, aro
interfering with our privilege of appointing and/or voting for our candidates. The dignity of the
office was jeopardized by Commissioner Fisher's incomplete statements on the dais at the last
Commission meeting and he eventually found that he hurt himself in a large voting bloc by not
knowing facts, since he had not lived hero long enough to have known them and didn't check on
the end result of saying them. She had gotten phone calls from persons who used language she
could not repeat and other incidents. It was shameful that the situation was allowed to happen
and when she read in the Post that Mack said it was a racial problem, she was disappointed.
He was forgetting that she and Mr. Katz had worked for him when he ran in 2000 and helped
get votes for him. However it went tonight, she wanted to get together and stop the hate and
hurtful accusations and run our own City and let the others run their own cities and in some
cases, their own counties.
Jim Miriana, 728 N.E. 8th Avenue, Boynton Beach, said that this was a stacked deck. He said
that the Commissioners had reached the point where they had to make a very important
decision, the choice of candidate for Commission or whether it would be put up for general
election. He said they should face reality. One of the present Commissioners was chosen by
this Commission, which was accepted by the community of Boynton, and why Could the
expense of an election not be avoided by choosing a Commissioner this evening who could fill
the position and the needs of the District? This gentleman is Mack McCray, who can represent
without any problem the black community and can allay the fears that we are a discriminatory
group, one who can represent all of the people of his district.
Tim Rausch, 683 N.W. 11th Avenue, Boynton Beach, did not come forward when his name
was called.
The Mayor declared that the Public Audience was ended and turned the discussion over to the
Commission.
Vice Mayor Weiland called on people to consider the wonderful testimony of Mro. Betty Thomas
in speaking about her husband, a pillar of the community for many years, and Mr. Sciortino
speaking about a death from breast cancer. These were serious things that meant a groat deal
rather than the petty bickering or complaining about minor things encountered on a day-to-day
basis. He said he had known Mr. McCray for two and a half years and that after their first
meeting, Mr. McCray had offered to allow Vice Mayor Weiland to put a sign in his front yard as
he was running for Commissioner. He said he thought a lot of him then and now. He had to
make a decision based on his experience and knowledge. He had heard comments about why
they did not follow the same process that they did when they appointed Commissioner

Ferguson? They had a special meeting to set the process but it was not done. Nobody simply
said, how are we going to look at the candidates, how are we going to make our decisions? It is
purely subjective as to what each one of us thinks, feels, and sees. He had heard a lot of
negatives about Mr. Katz and a lot of positives about Mr. McCray. Some of them may be true
about both of them; some of them may not be true. He said they were not up there to make
friends at every meeting. They were there to make decisions that best fit the City as a whole,
not special interest groups. He mentioned Mr. Katz's attendance, at the Community Relations
Board. He was an Alternate member, not a voting member. He sat in the audience. This
Board met the same night as the City golf league of which he was a member. After checking
with City officials and with Mr. Katz, he made sure beforehand that there was a quorum and that
his attendance would not be required. He did not know how this fit into the rule =of missing three
meetings but he was a non-voting member. A lot of people stated he had misSed this. meeting
and he thought it. was a way to stack the deck against Mr. Katz and make him look bad. The
individuals did not seem to know the reasons behind his missing the meetings or if they did,
they failed to mention them. He felt that the people who were talking about a stacked deck
should have mentioned it at earlier meetings where there was only support for Mr. McCray. He
had also heard in. the past couple of weeks about District II being predominantly a black district.
Vice Mayor Weiland gave some statistics based on his research that did not support the
predominantly black District II premise. Without redrawing the district lines, there was no clear-
cut way to determine the numbers of black, white, Hispanic, and other registered voters with
100% accuracy. There are people who live in District IV who vote in District II :if you go by the
precincts and district lines as they are drawn today. Vice Mayor Weiland stated he had said in
the past that diversification was needed on the Commission and he still felt that way tonight.
Vice Mayor Weiland stated that if he had to make a decision this evening he would have to say
that both men were capable of doing the job but in weighing this, he believed that choosing
someone with prior exoedence would be best for the City. He had heard people say, "Please
don't put us back 20 years", and it was not the Commission that would be putting the City back
20 years, but the people who were making the statements because they wanted to hold on to
this and bring it up.
Commissioner Fisher stated that it was not an issue of black or white. Do blacks only vote for
blacks? Brian Edwards, who is white, stepped down from being a candidate for Commissioner
for the good of the community, offering his support to Mr. McCray, who is black. On the issue of
attendance, he stated that he had been in the same golf league and his partner in golf was the
Chairman of the Community Relations Board and he did miss a meeting for the same golf
league. With the power we have as Commissioners we should stick to the facts and the facts
only. We have facts before us to help with that choice. He referred to the beginnings of
government, saying that either you were going to be the voice of the people or not. The
founding fathers introduced the revolutionary idea that government could rest on reason and the
choice of the people themselves, which was thought absurd in other lands at the time.
Commissioner FiSher said that Thomas Jefferson had said that but that was what was
happening tonight. He said he and Mack had never been to each other's houses but that did
not matter. He could tell what the people wanted - it was very clear to him. Residents of
District II had made their point very, very clear. Commissioner Fisher praised the McCray
supporters for their good work, saying that if it went to an election and they stayed united, the
district could come up with the candidate of their choice.

Mayor Broening spoke of how he looked at the role of an elected official. He thought an elected
official was chosen to represent the people. He said that people are chosen that have no
experience in the political arena, using himself as an example. He liked to refer to himself as a
volunteer and not a politician. He thought of himself as a citizen of the City who volunteered to
take the responsibility for very difficult decisions that flew in the face of wishes of individuals and
groups. They were there to represent the interests of the people, as they perceived those
interests to be. He based his choice on the issue of representation. At the last meeting he had
talked about objective qualifications and he ranked all three of the candidates against those
objectives. When it came right down to it, the decision was a subjective one, based on what he
thought was best for the community. He hoped that all four of them would keep the good of the
entire community in mind if the issue came to a vote at this meeting.
Motion
Commissioner Ferguson moved that David Katz be appointed to fill the vacant District II
Commission seat until the next municipal election. Vice Mayor Weiland seconded the motion.
City Clerk Prainito called the roll. The motion died due to a tie vote, Commissioner Fisher and
Mayor Broening dissenting.
Motion
Commissioner Fisher moved to appoint Mack McCray to fulfill the remaining months until the
March election. Mayor Broening passed the gavel and seconded the motion.
In discussion, Commissioner Fisher said that the points that were made tonight were part of the
big picture. It was more than local. People from Washington, D.C. were looking at this. What is
done here tonight is going to influence, whether they liked it or not, several years to come. He
believed this was a consideration and hoped others would also.
City Clerk Prainito called the roll. The motion died due to a tie vote, with Commissioner
Ferguson and Vice Mayor Weiland dissenting.
Mayor Broening declared a deadlock and asked the Commissioners if they wished to table the
issue?
Commissioner Ferguson asked that the Mayor recognize Mr. David Katz, who wished to
address the Commission and the audience.
David Katz, 742 N.W. 11th Street, Boynton Beach, stated that there had been a gentleman
who had spoken against him, John Cooper, who lived in his neighborhood. Another gentleman
who spoke in his favor slightly misstated something that happened in Sky Lake when he was
President of the Board. He brought the idea of community cable to the Board to save the
people money, did some of the research, and then Mr. Cooper took it over and was the one who
actually negotiated the contract. Mr. Katz stated that being a good leader, he delegated the
task, and that is what happened.
Mr. Katz wanted to respond to some of the comments that Commissioner Fisher made two
weeks previously. He chuckled because he read from editorials from the Palm Beach Post
17

May 15, 2001
which were their opinion, not statements of fact. Commissioner Fisher read from them saying
that he (David Katz) was divisive. He thought that anybody who was on the short end of a vote,
whether it was 3-2 or 4-1 might be considered divisive, but that person is just stating their views
and how they see them and stating them strongly and sticking to them as he has done. That
does not make someone divisive. That makes them stating their views. He would be scared of
a Commission that always voted 5-0 because issues would not get a fair hearing.
Commissioner Fisher read from the editorials talking about a letter that got sent into Hunter's
Run. People who were a lot smarter than him, had a lot more money behind them, the Florida
Elections Commission, looked into the matter and totally cleared him of that. Commissioner
Fisher failed to mention that. Commissioner Fisher mentioned a vote he had taken while on the
Commission from the editorials of the Palm Beach Post, that he had voted against the
confirmation of Floyd Jordan, a black man who applied to be the Fire Chief here. He also got up
and spoke in favor~of Wilfred Hawkins when he was hopefully going to be the City Manager. He
did that for the same reason he voted against Floyd Jordan. He believed in hiring from within,
contrary to the Palm Beach Post editorial, which again is opinion, but he read as fact. There
were two men in service in the Fire Department at the time who were highly qualified to be the
Fire Chief and Mr. Katz thought that hiring from within .would be the right thing. At the time there
was a black man, whose name was Perry Patterson,, who Commissioner Fisher did not know
because he did not live here, who was a Lieutenant in the Fire Department who had been
promoted to Captain. He had been in the fire service close to 20 years, he had gone into
people's homes, helped save their lives, put fires out, and this man created a glass ceiling over
his head because we went outside the department. Mr. Jordan isn't here any more.
Mr. Katz stated he had always felt that this was an application process, not a political process.
The people who spoke for Mr. McCray had been accusatory and sometimes downright nasty.
Mr. Suss mentioned something tonight he wanted to comment on. He stated that when you ran
for office, and he had run for office a couple of times, won once, lost the other, the press looks
into your background. They never printed anything so he guessed everything was okay. Two
weeks ago Mr. Suss came up here and was pointing fingers and threatening. Anybody who
spoke for him tonight only spoke about qualifications. They never put anybody down, they
never questioned anybody's background, because everybody has a skeleton, everybody. They
had Mr. Dan Lippman from Representative AIcee Hastings' office come to speak. That was
their right. Mr. Katz said he voted for Mr. Hastings after he won a primary from Lois Frankel. He
met with Mr. Hastings when he was a Commissioner for about thirty minutes about a man who
wanted to be remembered as a prisoner of war and he helped that out. That very night he held
his first town meeting at Boynton Beach and he drove him here in his car but this was also a
man who was impeached by the U.S. Senate. So, Mr. Katz said that nobody was throwing barbs
at Representative Hastings but they threw barbs at him.
Mr. McCray had a quote in the Palm Beach Post that was referenced and it disappointed Mr.
Katz because he believed him to be a decent man. He said, "it's a political thing - it's more
racial than anything else". That disturbed Mr. Katz. He believed there were some hypocrites in
the group at this meeting. He stated that if a black person had been the one up there and had
resigned and the second place finisher was white, he did not think they would be hearing about
the second place precedent and in fact there is none, legally or otherwise. If the person who
resigned was white and the second place finisher was white also, in the election we are talking
about, and that person applied, but also a more qualified black applicant, the second place
argument would never be heard, not a whisper. He believed that to be true.

With all due respect to those of the assembly who were being hypocritical, there was light at the
end of the tunnel because it meant they knew right from wrong. It also struck Mr. Katz as funny
that the editorial in the Palm Beach Post kept citing, "What if single member districts had been
routine?" As usual, nothing truly factual was stated. But, they did omit the fact that when single
member districts were on the ballot, they wrote editorial after editorial against it. Their editorial
writers who produce this pablum then go home to their gated communities in Boca, in
Wellington, and in north Palm Beach, trying to stir up trouble in Boynton Beach to sell papers
and to divide our City.
Again, Mr. Katz believed Mr. McCray to be a decent fellow but Commissioner Fisher and his
supporters and the press had created this dirty, greasy pole to climb up and at the top there was
this $25.00 prize and they wanted Mr. McCray and Mr. Katz to climb up in a $35.00 suit. The
$15,000 for an election, as well as the time and effort and all that would be involved, is totally
unnecessary. The money could be spent to correct the drainage problems in at least a couple
of homes and he was not going to be party to the waste. He stated he left the podium knowing
that it was an application process and he was the more qualified applicant.
Quoting directly from Mr. Katz: "To the people who love me and respect me and have believed
in me tonight, for my family and myself I thank you from the bottom of my heart and your heart.
To the people that don't, may God turn your hearts, and if that doesn't work, may He turn your
ankles so we may recognize you by your limping. Having said all of that, in accordance with
Roberts-Rules of Order, he asked the Commissioners who voted on the favorable side of Mr.
McCray's denial, to move to reconsider so that the City can put this behind us and in the past
and the Commission can go on as a group of five. Thank you."
Vice Mayor Weiland said that the press had a lot of potential to bring truth and beauty into our
lives and encouraged them to be positive in their reporting on issues and people. He was not
directing the comment towards any particular television station, reporter, or newspaper. He said
that was true around the country.
Commissioner Fisher wanted to congratulate Mr. Katz for his heart-felt contribution to the City
welfare. Perhaps there would now be an end to the polarization and he would move to
reconsider the denial of the appointment to Mr. McCray. Mayor Broening stated that it would
have to be a new motion.
Motion
Commissioner Ferguson moved to appoint Mack McCray to fill the vacant District II Commission
seat. Vice Mayor Weiland seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Broening wanted to applaud Mr. Katz, who in the past several months had gone from
being a political adversary to becoming a friend. Mr. Katz had shown his generosity and civic-
mindedness in a way that was absolutely commendable. Mayor Broening thought he had the
spirit of the new Boynton Beach and hoped that everyone left the meeting with the same feeling.
Mayor Broening thanked Mr. Katz.
Commissioner Fisher said that as to the stand he took in the matter, if he embarrassed anyone
or offended anybody, that was not his intention. His intention was basically to make sure that
representation was there. Commissioner Fisher said to Mr. Katz that while he did not see this

comments, thought it was the right thing, and thanked Mr. Katz.
MAYOR BROENING ANNOUNCED A FIVE-MINUTE RECESS AT 9:10 P.M.
AT 9:15 THE MEETING WAS RECONVENED.
VI. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT:
A. Performance Review- City Manager
Mayor Broening reported that each of the Commissioners had received a summary statement
from Mr. Bressner, which set forth his requests and asked for questions or comments.
Vice Mayor Weiland referred to an article he had read about a City Manager who lost his job
and walked away with $364,000 in benefits, perks, and severance. While he did not envision
Mr. Bressner leaving and lauded him for the superior job he had been doing, he did not want to
see a similar thing ever occur in Boynton Beach. He thought adding the requested increase to
the ICMA Deferred Compensation Plan and allowing 20 days of vacation would be a good
compromise and that he had previously discussed it with Mr. Bressner.
Commissioner Fisher said there was no question in his mind that for the job Mr. Bressner did in
the City, he was underpaid. He said that Mr. Bressner was the CEO and the Commissioners
were the Board of Directors and that if the CEO disagreed with the Commissioners, he let them
know, and that this was important to the Commissioners. He believed the requests were
reasonable but asked if the addition to the deferred comp could be made incrementally?
Mr. Bressner replied that it could not unless the Commission wanted him to retire at 55, which
he did not want to do. He was not eligible for the "catch-up" provision in the ICMA Deferred
Compensation Plan. He said he was asking for the deferred compensation amount to go up to
$8500 this year from the $8,000 it was now. He did not ask for a salary increase because the
Commission had granted his request for severance six months ago and that had been a big
jump. He said the Commission could view the severance package as an insurance policy for
his family, that he had no intentions of leaving the City and that he loved the City, the staff, and
those on the dais.
Mr; Bressner respectfully requested the increase in the vacation time from 20 to 25 days. He
was asking for that because part of what he did, in addition to just going on vacation, was
serving the needs of his profession as a City Manager. He did research, study, and traveled to
talk to colleagues and every four years, did a national survey on the council/manager form of
government. He wanted to gear up for the 2002 survey and may need additional time to travel
for that survey. He believed this reflected on Boynton Beach because its name went right up
along with his when the articles were published. He wanted to do some studying and research
on how well the council/manager form of government was doing nationwide and the issue of
citizen engagement.
Mr. Bressner noted that although tonight had been a very positive oupoudng of community
involvement, they did not often see such a big crowd. That was being played out all over the
United States and it had played out the night before when the City had sent out 400 notices to
20

homes of people about a park next to their neighborhood, and only a handful showed up. Mr.
Bressner wanted to try to turn that around in a small way. He reiterated that he was not
interested in an increase in salary.
Commissioner Fisher said he was looking at 20 days as the contract amount and that while he
also did not anticipate Mr. Bressner leaving, he echoed Vice Mayor Weiland's concern about the
accumulation of benefits and the potential effect of it. Commissioner Fisher lauded Mr. Bressner
for his dedication to duty and availability. He did not believe there should be any problem if Mr.
Bressner wanted to take time off for personal reasons or for research or travel for his
profession. In fact he believed he should definitely take personal days off, as he needed them.
Vice Mayor Weiland said Mr. Bressner did not need to sit in his office six days a week and be
seen. In a good corporation, the employees run the corporation and the CEO makes sure that
things run smoothly.
Mayor Broening commented that when the City interviewed Mr. Bressner a year ago, one of the
considerations was that he would have sufficient time to pursue the professional development
aspects of his profession, of which he is a national leader with many published documents and
studies. Mayor Broening was prepared to go along with 20 days but wanted a resolution from
the Commission that it would continue to encourage Mr. Bressner to participate in the collegial
things he did with his profession. He brought back wonderful models and information and
provided it to others as well. The City had an obligation to continue that trend. He was very
pleased with the job that Mr. Bressner was doing and could see the results. He believed the
upcoming years would show even more improvements in performance. He was disappointed
that Mr. Bressner did not want more money as he believed his salary was a pauper's sum for
someone who ran a $100M a year business. He said that the salaries of the Assistant City
Managers were close to Mr. Bressner's and he preferred to see some distance there.
Vice Mayor Weiland believed that the going rate for a City Manager in a City the size of Boynton
Beach was between $118K and $135K, from Stuart down to the Florida Keys. Vice Mayor
Weiland believed that Mr. Bressner should be encouraged to go to whatever meetings he
deemed necessary and that it did not reflect on his vacation time whatsoever.
Mayor Broening pointed out that Mr. Bressner wanted to change from his current vehicle to a
small, plain, white SUV.
He had also asked tc~ be given the 1% lump sum amount the employees were recently given to
help defray the cost of health insurance.
Motion
Commissioner Fisher moved to 1) approve adding $500 this year for the ICMA Deferred
Compensation Plan; 2) to increase vacation from fifteen days to twenty days; 3) to upgrade the
vehicle to a small SUV as stated; and 4) to help defray the cost of health insurance, a 1% lump
sum amount (not added to base pay), be granted, similar to what the employees were given last
year. Commissioner Ferguson seconded the motion that carried unanimously.
Mr. Bressner appreciated the action on the part of the Commissioners and thanked the
Commission for their confidence and support.

Approve the demolition of the Mangrove Park School (Old High School) at 125
East Ocean Avenue and create up to 50 parking spaces on site at a cost not to
exceed $250,000
Quintus Greene, Development Director, stated that staff understood and appreciated that
there were reasons for nostalgia concerning the Old High School and that there were those who
wished to see the building preserved and re-used as a school or in some other manner.
However, since the last time the issue was high profile in 1993, the building had continued to
deteriorate and none of the proposals presented to the City had included any money for the
building's restoration. Each of the three proposals he had seen in the previous eighteen months
had been based on the premise that the City of Boynton Beach would be responsible for most, if
not all, of the money required for the restoration, an estimated $3 to $5M.
There was also a suggestion that there was money available from sources that wanted to
preserve historic buildings. Mr. Greene had researched this and even if the building qualified as
a historic building, the maximum amount that was available for such restoration was $250,000.
He checked resources from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the State of Florida.
The question had come up about architectural character. As an architect, personally, he was
not one who felt there was a real strong representation of a particular period in the Mangrove
Park School. However, the Community Redevelopment Agency, when it made a decision to
support the staff recommendation to demolish the structure, required that certain architectural
features are preserved and staff is agreeable to that.
It was the opinion of staff that, given the present state of deterioration of the building, the high
coSt of repairs, the absence of any realistic private financing for renovation, and the number of
other high priority capital needs of the City, that it would be difficult to support any commitment
of City funds for this project. Also, in the redevelopment plan currently being prepared for the
school's site and the surrounding area will, for the first in the City's history, provide the City of
B0ynton Beach with a true Town Square. It is for these reasons that staff recommended
demolition of the Mangrove Park School. Mr. Greene offered to show presentation boards that
showed the concept of Town Square if anyone cared to see them.
Commissioner Fisher questioned making a parking lot at that location, preferring to leave it as
green space until the eventual building of the Town Square. Mr. Greene said the reason they
were recommending 50 temporary parking spaces was that the Children's Museum was
scheduled to open in September. Also, there is an effort to get a grant to expand the library and
part of that library expansion will require the availability of some 200 parking spaces.
Commissioner Fisher Said he thought the library expansion may take several years to
accomplish and Mr. Greene said that was true but that as part of the application process, the
City had to demonstrate that the parking spaces were available. Ms. Farace said the intention
had to be there, not necessarily the parking spaces themselves. Commissioner Fisher
suggested earmarking the land as a future parking area, but leaving it green in the meantime.
Mr. Greene replied that the City could do so.
Vi(~e Mayor Weiland asked what the cost had been to renovate the Schoolhouse Museum with
al/the different add-ons? Ms. Farace thought it had been $1.4M, $900K of which were City
funds. Vice Mayor Weiland said they had decided to get community input on this and it had
come to them a few weeks previously and then it was delegated to the Community

Redevelopment Agency. Vice Mayor Weiland thought that not enough community outreach had
taken place to date. It was done at a CRA meeting at the very end of the meeting. The issue
came up around 10:15 at night when, naturally, most of the people that came out to speak on it
were elderly people and they sat through three hours of meeting until this came up, voiced their
opinion, and the Board recommended to tear the building down and bring it before the
Commission. He did not consider that this meeting represented an adequate amount of
community outreach to determine what to do with the building. Vice Mayor Weiland wondered if
further attempts at community outreach might bring forth a large outpouring of support for
renovating the building? Vice Mayor Weiland thought the issued needed a longer time for
consideration before making a decision on tearing the building down.
Commissioner Fisher understood his point but said it had been out there for several years and it
wasn't the first time they had been asked to make a call on it. Part of the reason it was in the
shape it was is that the Commission did not put any money into it. Possibly if they had put
money in it in the past to preserve it and do the roof and take care of the termites, the present
situation might not exist. This had come up several times before and had been well publicized
in the paper on several occasions so this had not been a last minute thing. He said it was up to
the Commission and not the CRA as to what was to be done with the building. He said if they
chose to preserve it, what capital improvement plan item would they cancel for the $3-5M?
Should they stop the library expansion? There is only so much money they had to work with. If
they can save it, by all means, save it he said. Commissioner Fisher asked if anyone had a
viable solution for that building at this time.'?= Was anyone trying to raise the money to fund the
renovations? He thought the City could wait 30 days for an answer.
Commissioner Ferguson said he had no qualms about tabling it but wanted to have a date
certain for a decision and in his mind another 30 days would not make any difference. If no one
came in from the community with a scheme to at least share the cost, he believed the issue was
dead.
Mayor Broening invited the persons who had submitted cards to speak from the public at this
time.
Harvey Oyer, 512 North Seacrest Boulevard, Boynton Beach, said there were a number of
persons who were there because of the result of the CRA meeting. They did not have time to
get fully organized but were represented by counsel and asked Mr. Mark Perry to speak on their
behalf.
Mark Perry of Perry & Kearne of Delray Beach, Florida stated he was speaking on behalf of
18 individuals who had gotten together in 24 hours to provide dollars and support for an ad hoc
group they were organizing to present possibilities for the development of the Mangrove Park
School to the Commission. Mr. Perry provided the Mayor with a list of the individuals who had
provided dollars for this purpose. It was a list of Whos Who from the City of Boynton Beach and
many of them had been in the City for seventy to eighty years. Several of them had been on the
Commission as mayors or Commissioners. They had shown an interest to form a tax-exempt,
non-profit organization to be able to promote the project, obtain donations, and investigate the
possibility of getting dollars elsewhere than the City of Boynton Beach. At some point they may
come to the City for dollars but as for now, they have heard from the Commission who have
said the City does not want to support the project on its own. They wanted to do something
similar to the City of Delray about developing the downtown area. Old School Square was not

really promoted by the City-the citizens themselves developed an organization that went out
and got the money to develop Old School Square. They wanted the same opportunity here. If
they did not come up with a plan that the Commission liked, they understood it would have to be
demolished. They asked for the opportunity to develop a plan and come back and report on a
monthly basis for at least six months.
Motion
Commissioner Fisher moved to table the demolition of Mangrove Park School until the June 19
City Commission meeting to give a final opportunity for whoever wants to try to put something
together to show us their proposal. Commissioner Ferguson seconded the motion that carried
unanimously.

Janet Kysia said she had fallen in love with this piece of commercial property on Federal
Highway and had a vision of what could be created. It was a family business and she had

begun to fix it up already. They had a business in Boca. for nine years. They had a high-end
clientele from the recently closed doll and toyshop. She wanted to create a girl's boutique that
would have the ambience of little girls in their dress-up clothes having tea parties and
storybooks by the fireplace. She thought it would open the building up for the public to come in
and enjoy the property. It needed to be fixed up and she intended to do that. She thanked the
Commissioners for their consideration.
Commissioner Fisher asked for a quick summary from staff as to why the CRA recommended
denial of the application?
Mr. Larry Finkelstein, Chairman of the Community Redevelopment Board, said the
consensus of the Board had been that they wanted to enact the Federal Highway Corridor Plan
and complete rezoning for the entire area, not just in spots here and there. The Board and
some of the neighbors in the adjoining residential area did not want to intensify the zoning. Also,
the Board believed that if the current use did not work out, the door would be opened for other,
possibly unwelcome, uses.
Mr. Bradley Miller, a land planner for the project, who had made the presentation for the
project at the CRA, made some comments. Mr. Miller showed the Commission a colored
picture of the survey of the building that showed the location of the property which sat on two
parcels of land. They did not plan to make any changes except improvements to the building.
The Colonial Office Center development to the south of it wrapped around on the East Side.
That would remain C1 and there was a landscaping buffer already in place. There was an
Amoco gas station across the street, a Dunkin Donuts, and this project would provide a
transition. The I-HOP Restaurant was within the same C1 zoning district as a non-conforming
use. He believed there was an opportunity to retain the house that was built in the 1930s and
preserve a structure like this in Boynton Beach and fulfill a dream of Ms. Kysia. She is going to
try to get this on the historical register and to commit herself to the property and improvements
made thus far.
Vice Mayor Weiland said it pointed up the need for the City to address its zoning issues and
resolve them because this would come up time and time again. He saw no reason why this
should not be permitted. He thought Mr. Finkelstein had a valid point that it did not meet the
criteria for where it was but he did not see the reason for denying it.
Motion
Vice Mayor Weiland moved to approve Item VII-B. Commissioner Ferguson seconded the
motion that carried unanimously.

Motion
Commissioner Fisher made a motion to table this item until the next meeting.
Commissioner Fisher said there were several open holes that had come up in the Pro-Agenda
meeting regarding the noise itself. He proposed they table this item until the next meeting to
give a little moro opportunity to firm up the language. Mr. Bressner said that the purpose of the
ordinance was to deal with a construction matter only on Industrial Drive, a storm sewer project.
He recognized there were other noise issues facing the Commission. He said staff was
requesting that those issues be dealt with separately to include defining noise, measuring noise,
and enforcing noise ordinances. He did not recommend holding up the passage of this
ordinance to wait for the deliberations on the other noise issues that would take some time.
Commissioner Fisher agreed to remove his motion but wanted to know how much time was
involved in addressing the other noise issues? Mr. Bressner said this was really a Code

Compliance issue and until the City got a little further into it, he would be reluctant to give a
timeline. For the audience, Mr. Bressner stated that it had to do with noise from boom boxes,
noise from bands, disturbing-the-peace kinds of noise and those were always difficult issues to
deal with and there had to be a standard method of measuring noise. Communities nationwide
were wrestling with this and they were getting comparative information from other communities
at this time.
Commissioner Fisher withdrew his motion.
Motion
Commissioner Fisher moved to approve Proposed Ordinance No. 01-24 with direction to staff to
get the noise issue situation resolved in a timely manner. Commissioner Ferguson seconded
the motion. City Clerk Prainito polled the vote. The vote was unanimous.
C. Resolutions:
Proposed Resolution No. R01-193 Re: Approving the
issuance of not to exceed $27 million in aggregate principal Utility
Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2002, providing a method for fixing and
determining the principal amount, interest rates, maturity dates,
redemption provisions and other details of said bonds
Attorney Cherof read Proposed Resolution No. R01-193 by title only.
Mr. Bressner stated that in response to some questions from the Commission, an amendment
to the Resolution was prepared that would provide language in the event the underwriters were
unsuccessful in marketing the bonds by August 31, 2001.
For the audience, the City was in the process of refinancing part of the 1992 Utility Bond Issue
because of the dip in the interest rates. There is an opportunity to generate approximately $2M
or more by refinancing at this time. They were not extending any additional debt but were
reformatting the debt in a way that the City could use those dollars for a public purpose. If
approved, the Resolution R01-193 stipulates that the window would expire on August 31, 2001.
The staff will work with underwriters and bond counsel and act when they think the bond market
is at its best to maximize the return.

Commissioner Ferguson moved to approve Proposed Resolution No. P,01-193 with the August
31, 2001 date. Commissioner Fisher seconded the motion. City Clerk Prainito polled the vote.

development of a car wash facility on a 9,908 square foot parcel in lieu of
the 15,000 square foot minimum lot area required by the C-3 Zoning
district regulations
The lot in question is behind the Texaco station on north Federal
Highway between Lakeside Harbor and Los Palmas Blvd. (At the
end of Gateway Blvd.)
The photos clearly show that the lot is bordered by R1AA homes.
The CRA passed this variance BUT what was not shown in your
agenda was that the vote was 4 in favor and3 against so just one
member got it voted down against the wishes of 25 nearby
residents.
The car wash is allowed under C-2t zoning but to allow a variance
of thirty, percent is outside the bounds of common sense and is
against the intent of our code laws.
Please vote this variance down as unacceptable.

upb~iaaging, along with a natural artistic ability, to bring to others the colorful history of the
west He attended Woodburv University in Los Angeles where he received a B.S. degree in Art
and was the recipient of the Leo Yotmg~xrorth Award aa the Outstanding _Axe Student.
Thomas then served in the army in Europe during World War II and was recognized for his
av~'ork by General George Paton, who encouraged him to continue his art studies at the Ecole
de Beaux ~°xrts in Paris where he studied trader Jon Dupas.
~?lai!e known primarily as a painter of Western scenes he gained national recognition as a
muralist and became a me~r of the prestigious National Society of Mural Painters. Examples
of his murals are found in Sheridan, Wyoming, ar the Dalai Fine Arts Center in Rapid City,
South Dakota and in several locations in Florida. His individual paintings are in numerous
Corporate, Museum and Private collections through the United States,
Thomas, while living in Wyoming, had spent hours watching Go[lings, the well known and
noted Sheridan _Artist and they both shared a love and deep interest in painting the west as they
had kne~x'n it in their youth. NLany of the scenes that Thomas painted were of Native
:&mericans, Cowboys and of historical events that had taken place in the late 19m century.
in 1953 Thomas and his family moved to Florida to undertake a commision of a large mural.
Me fell Lq love with Florida's natural beauty and st~bsequenfly made it his home, while
continuing to remm to Sheridan each summer. While in Florida he was commissioned by the
Department of the [ntevlor to paint a large mural at the Everglades National Park that illustrated
uhe ecolo~, of ~e Everglades, which was subsequently destroyed by hurricane Andrew.

Bernard Thomas' painting of the Last Supper is historically accurate. Thomas died six weeks ago after an illness.
'Last Supper' nono, s parishioner.:.
- Paintin inspired'*'
?aim Sqnday play
By KEN SWART
Religion Writer
F1ach year for the past 12 years, mem-
bers of First United Methodist Church of
Boynton Beach have performed a play on
Palm Sunday based on a parishioner's his-
~orically accurate re-paroling of the Last
Supper.
After the Last Supper has always been
meantn~ul for the cast and the audience.
Btst tonight's drama will be the most dra-
matic of all.
2 comes just six weeks after the artist
who painted the picture and inspired the
play, Bernard Thomas of Boynton Beach.
died after a long illness. He was 75.
"Before. it was to honor his work. Now.
it's to honor his memory." said Bob Mraz
of Bovnton Beach, who plays Matthew. the
part {hat Thomas used to play.
During an earlier rehearsal, the cas;
members said they still could feet Thom-
as' presence: "I think it's in the forefront
of all our minds," Mraz said.
Especially those of longtime cast mem-
~-b, ers, like Nicholas Zito of Boynton Beach.
still can't believe he's gone." said Zito,
~o plays the part of Simeon. "He was
:ea brother ;o me."
in turn. the play has become "a famiIy
thing," said Fred Wyckoff of Boynton
Beach, who plays the part of Nathaniel.
For exampIe, Thomas' son-in-taw.
Botlenbacher of Boynton Beach. ptays the
part of Jesus. Meanwhile, Kurt Bergener
of West Palm Beach plays the part of Ju-
Ron Bollenbacher, left, plays Jesus in
the play at the First United Method-
dss. His mother. Grace Bergener of Lan-
tans. directs the drama. She took the job
at Thomas' request.
"He wanted me ;o do it. and t wanted to
do it because of him," she said. "I think he
would have wanted it to continue."
Thomas' daughter and Bollenbacher's
wife. Sarah, knows so. "He wanted it to go
on." she said. "But he knew his health
wasn't good, so he delegated it to someone
who was close to him."
During After t.~e Last Supper, each of
the 12 disciples leaves the familiar scene,
takes center stage and she res how it felt to
follow Jesus.
ist Church in Boynton Beach.
Morris plays Peter.
The Rev. Logan Whalen. who was ~as-
tot of St. John's Methodist Church in
Boynt0n. Beach before it closed, wrote the
script with his wife, Shirley, after they
saw Thomas' painting.
"This is an experience, to have your.
own oainting reproduced on sta=~
Thomas said during last year's presenta-
tion. "I enjoy seeing it come alive."
Thomas tried to depict the historic
event in accurate detail. The painting L
se~ a; night, tn a simple home in defuse
leto. during Passover.
"I guess now he's finding out if he
right," Wyckoff said.
To accomplish a research task that went back into 3000 years of middle east history,
muralist Bernard Thomas, not only traveled to the natural sites, but always followed closely
the Old Testament, I Kings, chapters 5, 6, ~nd 7 for reference.
This Masonic mural portrays in the foreground what is referred to as ~Men of the Craft", On
the left, in the Cedars of Lebanon section, there are hewers of wood, the stages of transporting
the wood, the saw_.ing, shaping, and finishing of the wood products. The large figures are Hiram,
King of Tyre, and some of his superintendents.
"The Bronze Works", located in the southern end of the Jordan Valley on the banks of the
Jordan River, depicts the "Men of the Craft~ fashioning unbelievably large castings of bronze
from the clay soil. There are the great Temple pillars, the huge water bowl -- The Molten Sea
--which sat upon twelve bronze bulls. King Hiram's men, clad in purple, contributed the skills
which accomplished these tasks for Solomon.
King Sotomon's quarries provide the carefully hewed stone for all you see in the original
walled City of Jerusalem.
Those who were fortunate to visit the Lake
Worth Scottish Rite Masonic Temple while mural
artist Bernard P. Thomas worked his marvelous
talent on the composition of the 65 foot mural,
saw a tall ~vesterner, always in his rou§hed-up
cowboy boots topped by western pants and shirt.
Around his waist wa s the hand-tooled leather belt
fastened by a unique silver buckle, featuring his
distinctive signature in raised §old. If you looked
around, you wo~:id have seen the "cowboy" hat
hanging nearby.
Don't let the we.st fool you. True. he is a real
native of the west, born in Sheridan, Wyornin§.
But, behind the friendly smile and soft voice, you
soon realize that there is a great artistic talent
which goes far beyond the ordina~ talent. His
creative mind never seems to rest.
His trip to t. he Middle East was part of his zest
for research. He wanted to uncover all the dusty
pages of the past. Before your eyes. the history
comes to life from the colors on his palette.
Here you see t. he "Men of the Craft" as they labor to move the numbered stones to the Temple
site. As the mason chisels the stone to the exact measure required by Hiram Abiff, Sotomon's
chief architect, both men are seen discussina the construction project. Pure white limestone~
for use in the Temple only, was quarried from ~he underground caverns below the cave entrance.
Soiomon's Temple was erected as a House of the Lord, In the holy of holy chamber was
placed the Ark of the Covenant which contained God's Ten Commandments given to ,~!oses.
Solomon's father, King David, had his palace to-the far upper teft in what was known as the
City of David, For 400 years the city of Jerusalem stood, but in 8.56 B.C, it was completely
burned and leveled to the ground by Nebuchadnezzar.
In 33 centuries of history~ Jerusalem has suffered at the hands of man and of nature, it has
been rocked by earthquakes and sacked by man. The City has endured over 20 sieges and
blockades, 18 reconstructions, and two periods of complete desolation. The City has passed
from one religion to another six times. The valleys around Jerusalem have been filled, t~he hills
have been leveled, the streets and the buildings destroyed, and the people s]ain and exiled.
His studies in. academic art at the the Ecole de
Beaux Arts in Paris, following World War 11, gave him
a sound foundation for the. art he has created since.
It is very apparent, as you see sweaty male figures
struggling to move large stones; that he knows the
human form.
Bernard Thomas's big physical size has been
beneficial in his mural work. He is mentally and
physically strong. His hours on the scaffolding have
been long and tiring. Yet, his great love to create has
kept him going.
His credits in the mural field are too numerous to
list. However, his huge cyctorama mural of the na-
tion's 200 year history, housed in the Daht Fine Arts
C~nter in R~pid City, ~outh Dakota. was a bicenten-
nial masterpiece.
Thousands of visitors each y~ar are given a new
insight on the ecology of the Everglades at the
nation's southernmost National Park at ~_he Visitors'
Cent_er of Everglades National Pa~k.
Here, muralist Thomas blended the element of
nature for public understanding. The Department
of the Interior, which commissioned the mural, has
been well-pleased with the public response. The
versatility of Thomas is evident from his western
canvases, his portraits, seascapes, and his animal
paintings.
Thomas is a member of the National Socic~.y of
Mural Painters. He has served two terms as presi-
dent of the Boynton aeach Art League. He is a tong
time mem0er of the Rotary Club. In 1985, he and
his wife. Betty, were honored by the City of Boynton
Beach when they were appointed as Grand Marshalls
of the Annual Christmas Parade.
Thomas is aiso a member of the Boynton Beach
Masonic Lodge. the Lake Worth Scottish Rite
Temple, 33'~ member of Amara Shrine. and is the
director of the 7th Degree.
Bernard Thomas leads a busy and an active life.
Bernard P. Thomas
This is the entrance foyer to the Temple, which has the warmth and comfort of your own home, with
comfortable furnishings which include the wails being decorated with canvas and oil reproductions of the
Masters.
The Lake Worth Scottish Rite Bodies were founded Aug ust 5, 1918 by fourteen Scottish Rite Brothers, five
of whom had only progressed to the 14°. Since that meager beginning, these Bodies have survived a national
deprcasion, World War II, the Korean conflict and Vict Nam, each of which has taken its toll on our Brothers
of the Rite. The present Temple was begun in 1967 and Phase III or the Final Phase was completed in 1983.
The building has 37,000 square feet under roof and now serves as the home of over 4,500 Scottish Rite
Masons.
The Lodge Room contains 600 plus comfortable theater type seats and was designed to have the best
acoustics possible, as well as having a modern sound control system to operate the many microphones to
assure that all can both see and hear the Degree Work. Also, we have a modem kitchen facility, which is manned
by dedicated Brothers, with outstanding culinary abilities. Our dining room is capable of seating up to 500
persons comfortably and has a sound ~ystem that has been desi.clned and install~d by professionls.
The Temple contains a beautiful Blue Lodge Room, which is available to Blue Lodges that might require its
use, and is currently being utilized by Lantana Lodge to conduct their meetings. We have a special area set aside
as a Class room which will accomr~date 200 candid~te.~ durinl3 reunir~ns. We have a wardrobe room. in which
all of the robes and paraphernalia for the Degress are distributed to members of the casts, as well as a makeup
department to assure that the character in the Degrees portray the work both verbally and in appearance. We
.... ~lso have our staging area where a dedicated group of Brothers attend to the preparation of the floor work with
I1 of the necessary paraphernalia. We also have one of the most outstanding and beautiful Libraries you will
nd anywhere, with many old and rare books, Masonic and otherwise for your reading and studying needs.
The Scottish Rii'e meetings are held the 4th Wednesday of each month, two reunions are held each year
where the Degrees are conferred in the Spring and the Fall.
