and office layout plans for the new buildings should be
ready for review. If the Council concurs with these plans,
then they will be ready to go into the next phase which is
more precise drawings with designs and cost estimations.
Closing of Utility Bond Issue
Mr. Cheney reported since the last meeting, the utility bond
issue was closed with about $10,000,000 refunded on old
money and $10,000,000 of new money. Prior to the refunding,
there was some discussion about what would be saved and he
can report the refunding did save us about $756,000. This
means the total debt service is about $756,000 less. It is
not as much as we made the first time, but it is a con-
siderable amount. The $84,000 figure which was suggested
was calculated on the present day value on the long term
flow of money.
PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Recognition of Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday
Mrs. Wilda Searcy congratulated and thanked Boynton Beach
for recognizing'Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday on
January 20.
Code Enforcement Procedure
Mrs. Wilda Searcy asked if it would be possible to have the
Code Enforcement Board meet more often than once a month to
update enforcement because it is getting behind. Councilman
Warnke responded that it is very frustrating with the Code
Enforcement Board that it takes two to three months with
final fines and action taken. He has sent her copies of the
Board's minutes and explained how there are legal restric-
tions and they are doing the best they can.
Mrs. Searcy stated according to the minutes, there are some
cases since 1982 which have not been resolved. Councilman
Warnke informed her there have been liens placed against
some of the properties and added that it takes at least two
to three months before fines go into place.
Mrs. Searcy asked if things could be cleared up in six
months and Councilman zimmerman replied that he has attended
all the Code Enforcement Board meetings and for a long time,
they did have long agendas; but for the last few meetings,
the agendas have been shorter and more cases could be
handled. The legal requirements must be met first though.

Mr. Cheney fully explained the time element involved and the
procedure required to be followed. He added that the pro-
cessing work before a board meeting is tremendous and if the
Board is going to meet twice a month, the Codes Enforcement
staff would almost have to be doubled with the additional
clerical work. He further explained how people correct
violations just before a board meeting to comply, but then
the violation re-occurs in a couple months.
Mayor Cassandra referred to the time involved and stressed
that the Code Enforcement Board is trying to clear up the
problems.
Food/Cheese Give Away Progra~
Mr. Joe Canitia stated he is in charge of fifteen volunteers
distributing surplus food at the civic Center for the past
year on the first Monday of each month. They received noti-
fication from the city Manager that they would not be able
to use the civic Center for distribution of food. This
would cause an undue hardship on a lot of people. He
explained how it would be difficult for many people to com-
mute to the South Technical School on Congress Avenue. They
appeal to the Council to be permitted to stay at the civic
Center. He told about the distribution of food being
handled quickly with no traffic hazards. He then presented
a petition with 275 signatures requesting the change in
location not to be made.
Mayor Cassandra explained how it was felt there was a
problem with the safety factor at the civic Center. Also,
there is the concern that within three months, building will
be started at the civic Center and the program will have to
be moved then. Mr. Canitia agreed that construction defini-
tely would be a traffic hazard, but until such time, they
would request to be allowed to continue using the civic
Center.
Councilman Hester clarified that this is done only once a
month and the bulk of the give-away is finished within a
half hour period and Mr. Canitia agreed. Councilman Hester
asked if most of the people walk there and Mr. Canitia
~ replied that many walk and ride bicycles._ ....
Councilman Hester asked if therewas anywhere is this area
where a safer place could be provided and Mr. Cheney advised
that he has been talking to Mr. Peterman for several months
about moving. He cannot support the idea of staying there
longer. Normally there are 600 to 800 people every month

and the parking lot is virtually full. Three departments
have recommended the move: the Library, Recreation & Parks
and Police Departments. If there are 400 people in cars
within a half hour period, there is a traffic problem. If
there are a sufficient number of people walking, we have
offered to allow and staff ourselves a sub-outlet for the
distribution in this neighborhood. There are many who drive
and that is the problem. There is a lot of parking at South
Tech or Congress Middle Schools. Either of these locations
are easy to drive to and are much less congested. He enu-
merated the number of parking spaces at the Civic Center,
number needed for various programs, and pointed out the
deficiencies.
Mr. Canitia referred to these people being just as good as
the people in the recreation programs and Mr. Cheney
clarified that everyone is just as important, but explained
there are on-going city programs. The City Manager referred
to the original agreement being to try this program out and
stated we have and still offer the program location for
walk-ins.
Mrs. Jenkins asked if the handicapped people had been con-
sidered and hOw they would get to the other location and Mr.
Cheney replied that if they drive, getting out of their car
at South Tech will be no different than here; but if they
are walking or bicycling, the program will continue here.
Also, there is this program at the Day Care Center in the
north end. We did volunteer to have a program for walk-ins
at Wilson Center.
Mayor Cassandra clarified that the concern is for those that
walk or ride bikes and the City is willing to help those
people. Regardless, the program will have to move because
of construction.
Mr. Jim Peterman, Administrator of the program, referred to
the importance of working as a team and stressed that this
program is for the citizens of Boynton Beach. He explained
that each community is delineated carefully with meeting
federal and state requirements. He feels it is a solution
with the city accepting the responsibility for the sub-
outlet for those people not having transportation to South
Tech. He does not see a problem of a safety hazard. He is
conCerned with a traffic hazard on Congress Avenue as there
are many school buses in that area at that time. It is up
to the people to make their hardships known.
Councilman Zimmerman asked if they had decided where to move
when construction began and Mr. Peterman replied that

arrangements have been made and they can go to South Tech
beginning next month, but the problem is the people who are
unable to get to South Tech because of having no transpor-
tation.
Councilman Hester referred to the possibility of a church in
the area being used, but concluded there would probably be a
traffic problem. Mr. Cheney suggested the possibility of
using Caloosa Park. Mr. Ralph Marchese suggested the use of
Galaxy School and Mr. Cheney pointed out the traffic problem
there.
Mayor Cassandra asked the Council for any comments.
Councilman Zimmerman believed the solution with the city
helping out with the walkers and bikers is about the only
solution if it is agreeable to both sides. Mr. Cheney
clarified that we do care about the program and will take
the responsibility for it. It can be done with our staff or
volunteers. Mr. Peterman agreed this was acceptable. Mayor
Cassandra suggested that he meet with Mr. Cheney to work out
the ground rules.

1. Demolition and Clearing of City Property at 205
N.E. 1st Street
Councilman Zimmerman referred to the recommendation on this
item being only for the base bid and asked if there were any
plans for the removal of the Kapok Tree or leaving some of
the other trees for replanting later. Mr. Cheney informed
him that if there was some way, the Kapok Tree ~will be taken
out, but he doesn't believe many of the trees can be saved.
Councilman Zimmerman stated he would like to see the Kapok
Tree saved if it doesn't interfer with the building and Mr.
Cheney replied that it is in the area where the parking
garage will be built.
Councilman Warnke referred to the difference between the
base bid and Alternate ~1 and Mr. Cheney clarified that
Alternate 91 is for the removal and relocation of desirable
trees and instead of paying $6,000, we can remove them our-
selves or grow them cheaper. Councilman zimmerman clarified
that some of the better trees will be saved and Mr. Cheney
agreed, if we can remove and save them. Mr. Zimmerman
stated that only the building and trash will be cleared out
and Mr. Cheney agreed.
Councilman zimmerman moved to approve this base bid,
seconded by Councilman Warnke. Motion carried 5-0.

Consider Recreation & Park Board recommendation concern-

Councilman Warnke made a motion to remove this recommen-

Motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Cheney referred to the Recreation & Park Board sub-
mitting a recommendation for some additional capital impro-
vement projects to be considered and stated they were
basically those which were on referendum last year and did
not pass. The Recreation & Park Board recommended they be

reconsidered and funded through a General Obligation Bond
Issue approved by referendum. The City Council met in
workshop session last night with the Recreation & Park Board
and discussed pros and cons and ways to finance it. From
that discussion, we moved into the possibility of a definite
way of financing. We are talking now about proposed funding
for additional capital improvement projects in the category
of recreational and cultural projects.
The City Manager continued that there are three funding
methods. A General Obligation Bond Issue is subject to
referendum and if passed, would provide immediate results.
It would require an increase in the amount of money that
citizens pay into the city. Another method is a Revenue
Bond Issue which is not subject to referendum because it
does not require additional money coming into the city, but
uses money coming in an~programs it a different way to give
cash imme~iately~ The third method is a pay as you go pro-
cess using utility service taxes which are already on the
books. These were put on the books with the ideas to use
for capital improvements. This would not provide immediate
results, but projects would be developed over a ten year
period.
Mr. Cheney stated from the discussion last night, he
suggests possibly considering the second method. This does
not require any added financial impact on the citizens.
There will be no additional money coming into the city.
Funds were approved by the Council. Last year, it was
agreed to have 3.5% of the utility service tax added to the
tax and we have been collecting it and it is allocated to
capital improvements. With using this utility service
income, the City Council is making a policy decision on the
timing of the use of-these funds with the projects to be
built as soon as possible. The suggestion is to use the
$1,000,000 that we are now receiving in utility service
taxes on an annual basis to be used for a $10,000,000 bond
issue. Of that, $2,500,000 would be used for projects
already committed and $7,500,000 would be available now.
This is a very legitimate and acceptable bonding program.
It is somewhat similar to a revenue sharing issue. It is
money already committed to capital improvements, except we
do it through a bond issue at today's cost. Mayor Cassandra
clarified that the citizens would not be paying one penny
more than they are paying now for these additional projects.
Mr. Cheney then told about the plans included for Congress
Avenue Community Park, Rolling Green Park and Rolling Green
Elementary Community School.

Mayor Cassandra asked if there would be money left for other
projects with going to the maximum bond and Mr. Cheney
replied that he didn't think so, but it depends on the final
cost of the projects and the amount of interest earned.
Mayor Cassandra suggested that direction be given to the
City Manager regarding the method of financing. Mr. Cheney
added if the Council decides to go with a General Obligation
Bond with a referendum, the last opportunity to have the
first reading would be January 21. At the January 21
meeting, he will have more detailed financial analyses from
our finanCial advisor to make the figures more precise.
Vice Mayor Ferrell made a motion to have the City Manager do
the preparation on the basis of using General Revenue Bonds.
Councilman Warnke seconded. Under discussion, Councilman
Zimmerman stated he is not in favor to vote on this until he
knows how many more years this utility tax will be extended.
When voting in the additional utility tax, it was on a tem-
porary basis to get $2,500,000. He asked if the amount
coming in was about $1,000,000 per year and Mr. Cheney
replied that we actually get $3,000,000 in utility service
taxes and the 1/3 is $1,000,000. Councilman Zimmerman com-
mented that if we floated a bond, the interest would double
the amount we need and extend the current utility tax 18
years to get $9,000,000. Mr. Cheney agreed we would have 18
years of obligations. Councilman Zimmerman asked if we are
sure of the utility tax coming in at a regular rate and Mr.
Cheney replied affirmatively and the dollars to the city
will increase as the size of the city increases with more
industrial and commercial developments.
Mr. Cheney continued that there will also be some inflation
in utility bills. He explained as the city continues to
grow, more space will be needed for public facilities. He
does not see the utility service tax as a short term issue,
but as a way to respond to our capital needs as the city
continues to grow.
Mayor Cassandra stated when the utility tax was increased,
we all had wishes to see things done and enumerated several.
He believes it was agreed to pay as we go and take those
which are most important first. This other way of doing it
would give us money up front immediately to do these four
items. There would be the same double payment on a General
Obligation Bond if it was approved by referendum.
Mr. Vance clarified that at this point, all he is going to
do is prepare a resolution for the Council's consideration
at the January 21 meeting.

Councilman Warnke suggested that the multi-purpose
recreation area should go with 2,000 seats now because it
will be needed in the future. Mayor Cassandra advised this
will be discussed further.
Mayor Cassandra clarified that it was moved and seconded to
direct the City Manager through the City Attorney to prepare
the necessary legal papers to acquire money by a General
Revenue Bond by using the utility tax increase which was set
aside for capital improvements. Councilman Zimmerman
questioned the amount and Mr. Cheney replied about a
$10,000,000'bond issue. Mr. Vance stated that based upon
this direction, he will prepare a resolution, but may not
have all the financial information. Motion carried 5-0.
Request by Boynton Beach Elks Lodge No. 2576 for Fun Arama
Benefit Fund Raiser
Mr. Cheney referred to the Elks Lodge submitting this
request and distributed a memo relative to the conditions he
thinks the City Council should impose. They want to hold
this January 16 through 19 and it was received this after-
noon. If the Council approves it, it should be approved on
the condition that these things will meet our satisfaction.
If these cannot be satisfied in time, then it would not be
approved.
A representative from the Elks Lodge came forward and they
discussed adequate room for the carnival and parking. Mr.
Vance advised the only way the City Council can approve this
is with the several conditions outlined by the City Manager
and place it in staffs' hands to see those conditions are
adequately met.
The representative explained that it was just submitted
because this company just had these dates open to bring the
carnival to Boynton Beach. Discussion ensued further about
the area being limited and parking facilities not being ade-
quate.
Vice Mayor Ferrell suggested that the next time they should
come in a lot earlier and then made a motion to approve it
as long as the stipulations are complied with as the staff
has laid out. Mayor Cassandra interjected that approval
will have to be gotten within the next four days.
Councilman Hester seconded the motion. Under discussion,
Mr. Cheney referred to the certificate of insurance showing
the Elks Lodge location and being dated March, 1985, and the
representative replied that it must be a typographical

error. Vice Mayor Ferrell added that it is probably a year
long policy with each event getting a small rider. Mr.
Vance stated he would like to have some form of resolution
from Continental Casualty authorizing Mohawk Amusements to
fill these in. Mayor Cassandra commented that he would hate
to see the group or city be liable. Further comments were
expressed regarding parking and the location for the rides.
Councilman Zimmerman referred to the last contra:ct being
signed on December 12, 1985, and questioned why it was just
being submitted now and the representative replied that they
wanted to have the carnival at the first of the year, but it
was impossible for the members to approve. Then, they came
back recently with a new date for the lodge. Mr~. Vance
suggested that their attorney review the papers carefully.
The representative clarified that he is here to see if the
city would approve it and then he will go before the
trustees of the lodge. Motion carried 5-0.

Budget Reports Submitted by the Finance Department
Mayor Cassandra referred to receiving monthly budget reports
and stated he would like to direct, with the Council's
approval, to have the City Manager tell Grady Swann that
quarterly reports with monthly reports the last quarter
would be sufficient to save paper and people hours on the
beginning portions. Councilman Warnke agreed there is a lot
of paperwork going out, but from time to time there are
transfers of funds to approve or it may be advisable to have
flags to look at when going over. Mr. Cheney agreed this
method could be tried. Councilman Zimmerman asked if much
labor is involved and Mr. Cheney replied the computer print-
outs are made monthly and there are the copies to xerox.
This would result in saving paper and xeroxing time. The
reports will still be made monthly. Councilman Zimmerman
stated that he goes over them quite carefully, but would
agree to quarterly reports.
OTHER
Reconsideration of Elks Lodge Request
Councilman Warnke moved to reconsider the voting on the Elks
Lodge proposition, seconded by Councilman Zimmerman. Motion
carried 5-0.
Mayor Cassandra clarified that another vote was going to be
taken on the previous motion granted for the Elks Lodge.
Mr. Vance clarified that legally it is a proper motion to
reconsider because it is being done at the same meeting. He
added that he has concern because this is not kiddy ser-
vices, but is a bunch of pros. Mayor Cassandra replied that
we did advise them of our concern and cautioned them.
Councilman Warnke stated that after thinking about it, this
was brought to the Council without prior review. After the
vote was taken, he felt he could not go along with it. It
was a little too much in haste. He feels personally it is
better not to vote for it and has asked for reconsideration
of the original mo~ion. Councilman Zimmerman commented that
it is a poor location.
Mrs. Boroni then took a roll call vote again on the original
motion as follows:

Bid I'tem 425-6, ADJUST VALVE BOXES, and two instead of five

the final ~pay estimate as ~ndicated sh6uld'be increased by
$330.00, f~0~ $i5,t84.4i to $15,514.41.
