CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Beach Construction Project
Mr. Cheney referred to the beach construction project having
started and told about there being a little confusion the
first day or two. He advised it has been resolved and the
people understand and have been cooperative.
Spraying of Canals
Mr. Cheney referred to there being articles in the newspa-
pers suggesting the city had been in violation of state laws
relative to spraying canals and advised the article written
the way it was is totally without merit. He requested Mr.
Frederick to give a report. Mr. Frederick told about con-
tacting the Department of Natural Resources after being con-
cerned about a possible problem. He then read the attached
letter giving clarification from the Department of Natural
Resources received today. He clarified that this letter
says the concentration of chemicals used by our contractor
were below the level to notify the public or place a restric-
tion on the use of the water.
Mr. deLong moved to spread this particular notification on
the minutes of this meeting, seconded by Mr. Zimmerman. No
discussion. Motion carried 5-0.

Mr. Frederick continued that because of concerns, notifica-
tion procedures have been discussed and it is felt we should
make contact with the residents and we propose to send a
letter out to all property owners adjacent to the canals we
maintain and inform them there is no threat. Also, each
month when we spray, we will place a legal notice in the
newspaper giving the date of spraying for the month. If our
consultant decides to spray at concentration level requiring
use restriction, letters will be sent to every property
owner advising what is being sprayed and the use restric-
tion.
Mr. deLong moved to accept this recommendation of the Parks
& Recreation Director and assign the City Manager to follow
through. Mr. Wright seconded the motion. Under discussion,
Mr. Wright asked if the C-16 Canal was included and Mr.
Frederick replied negatively and told about four public
agencies taking care of aquatic weed control in canals
throughout the city in addition to private companies. Mr.
Cheney stressed that the newspapers should give correct
reports. Motion carried 5-0.
Mayor Warnke acknowledged the presence in the audience of
former Councilwoman Lyn Huckle.
Councilman deLong asked about assistance for people going
out of town and Mr. Cheney informed him that he is checking
the state law and other cities and is in the process of
rewriting this.
PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Mayor Warnke announced that anyone who wishes to speak on
any item not on the agenda is free to come forward and state
their problem, desires or questions at this time. If anyone
wishes to speak on any item on the agenda to please give
their name on a blue slip and they will be called upon when
that item comes up before the Council.
Mrs. Natalie Jackson of the American Legion Auxiliary stated
on February 17 and 18, a red poppy will be offered to
the people by the American Legion Auxiliary. This reminder
of sacrifice of countless thousands in four wars is an
annual event undertaken by the unit and post. These poppies
are hand made by the disabled and hospitalized veterans and
they benefit by this work. These contributions for the pop-
pies are channeled into rehabilitation and welfare work for
children and youth. Poppy Day is an institution in America.
She then presented the first poppy to the Mayor and

requested him to wear it in pride on February 17 and 18 and
on Memorial Day. She added that this program is part of a
national salute to hospitalized veterans during the week of
February 14 through 18. Mayor Warnke replied that he is
going to decline the gift, but would like to buy the first
poppy.

is owned by one man, who used to work for Burroughs. Mr.
Wright referred to their references and Mr. Sullivan replied
the references were checked with the City of West Palm
Beach, Good Samaritan Hospital, and the Sheriff's
Department. Mr. Wright asked if we were renewing the pre-
sent contract and Mr. Sullivan advised him that we presently
have a contract with Boynton Business Machines, but they

PUBLIC HEARING
Approve request by the Southeastern Palm Beach County
Hospital District, doing business as Bethesda Memorial
Hospital to amend the Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan from Moderate Density Residential to
Public and Private Institutional, and to rezone from R1-AA
Single Family Residential District to Planned Unit

of land located on SW 23rd Avenue between Westchester
Heights and Ridgewood Estates

He referred to the Councilmembers being present at the
Planning & Zoning Board meeting and stated a public hearing
was held and after hearing presentations, the Planning &
Zoning Board recommended that this request be approved sub-

ject to the 21 stipulations which appear in the memorandum
from the Planning Director dated January 18, 1984.
Additionally, the Planning &~ zoning Board commented on the
need for acceleration and deceleration lanes where the pro-
posed access road intersects S.W. 23rd Avenue.
Mayor Warnke asked if the applicant would care to speak.
Mr. Kerry Kilday referred to making an extensive presen-
tation before the Planning & Zoning Board and advised this
request is for a two phase PUD. He pointed out Phase I
allowing for construction of a radiation therapy building as
part of the existing hospital building. He added in con-
junction with this, the parking area existing in this por-
tion would be redesigned. The hospital has a current
certificate of need and this phase would begin immediately
if approved.
Mr. Kilday continued that Phase II shows the ultimate
buildout of the entire site. Within Phase II, the larger
building is 25,000 square feet. He told about addressing
the concerns of the neighborhood before developing the
plans. He advised the major conditions which have occurred
since the plan was first presented is that the entrance off
Golf Road has been centralized to the center of the site.
There are buffers along the north property line and the
residential areas. The landscaping on site was adjusted to
accommodate the existing vegetation. They are aware of all
21 conditions recommended by the staff and Planning & Zoning
Board and do agree to those conditions.
Councilman Cassandra referred to questions being asked about
who is living in the two buildings and Mr. Hill replied that
they don't know. Mr. Cassandra questioned what would go
into these two buildings and Mr. Hill advised that a general
office type work station is scheduled for Mrs. Benson's home
and the other home is occupied by Dr. Raborn, who has a five
year agreement to stay there if he wishes. Mr. Cassandra
clarified that all the items presented will not be there for
at least five years unless Dr. Raborn moves out and Mr. Hill
agreed this is correct.
Mayor Warnke asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak
in favor of this proposed request.
Mr. Lou Samyn, 151 S. W. 25th Avenue, stated that he lives
next door to this proposed parking lot. This berm will only
be 4' high with shrubbery and he wants a masonry wall. He
referred to other subdivisions having a masonry wall
separating parking and stated he wants the same and not a
- 6 -

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 7, 1984
berm. He thinks the Council should consider this as he
feels they are entitled to a wall. Mayor Warnke informed
him this will be going before the Community Appearance Board
and many times, they will recommend a wall for a buffer.
This is not the final say on this. He does agree there
should be a high enough berm or wall. Councilman deLong
added if the people agree to reconcile their differences,
the City Council can take action. Mr. Samyn requested the
Council to protect the residents by requiring a wall.
Councilman deLong stated when this occurred with invading a
residential area with a parking lot, it came through the
back door. He is surprised the people were not notified to
come in when meetings were being held in the Building
Department with the hospital. Mayor Warnke asked if they
received a notice of the Planning & Zoning Board meeting and
Mr. Samyn replied negatively. Councilman Wright referred to
meetings held by the hospital with the residents and Mr.
Samyn told how the hospital representatives were evasive and
they were not able to find out much.
Mr. Samyn stressed that this is a parking lot and residen-
tial property is being taken for it. The Council must give
the residents ultimate protection. In Phase I, he thinks a
wall should be built prior to any construction and ingress
and egress to 23rd Avenue should be built first also. He
thinks a 6' wall landscaped on the outside would be an
asset.
Mr. Kilday stated they will stipulate they will provide a 6'
masonry wall on both sides. They have been working with the
staff on this. They have no problem with that condition.
Mr. Wright questioned why this was not recommended initially
and Mr. Kilday replied that they believed a berm was the
desire of the residents. Mr. Kilday added that they will
continue to have a 40' strip with the wall and the wall will
continue the entire length of the property. Mr. Cheney
requested this to be pointed out on the map and Mr. Kilday
pointed out on the map the entire property line with the
statement that it will be a 6' masonry wall with landscaping
on both sides. Mr. Cheney clarified that the wall and
landscaping replaces the berm and the berm will not be
built. He added that the wall possibly would meander a
little bit so trees would not have to be removed.
Dr. Joe F. Phillips, 52 River Drive, Ocean Ridge, stated he
would like to.emphasize the medical importance of this pro-
ject. This type of equipment is essential for the treatment
of cancer patients. It is expected that one out of five
- 7 -

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 7, 1984
people will develop cancer in this community. They would no
longer have to travel long distances to receive this care.
Mayor Warnke then asked if anyone wished to speak in opposi-
tion to this request.
Mr. Bob Foot, 2400 S. W. 1st Street, referred to the 21 con-
ditions mentioned and stated with allowing the staff to take
this over, it would result in a controversial issue. He
referred to conditions not being satisfactorily met in the
past when left for staff inspection. He is particularly
concerned about the drainage on this parking site. The
plans only include provisions for a three year storm. Where
is this water going to go? If the wall is constructed,
where will the retention be provided on site? There is
also the issue of maintaining the landscaping and the hospi-
tal has not agreed to that. There are questions of the
buildings being used for private use, which will take taxes
away from the city. He thinks the Council has some issues
yet to consider and thinks it is premature to approve this.
Councilman deLong referred to the hospital representatives
supposedly having met with the residents to reconcile the
differences and stated he thinks the people with a grievance
should meet with the hospital representatives. The con-
ditions should be iron-clad. Building permits will not be
issued until the conditions are met.
Mr. Cheney stated that he differs with Mr. Foot in regards
to the staff not following up on these things. We are aware
of the drainage problem and before the project is finished,
it will be properly handled. The conditions stipulated will
be taken care of. A condition can be made that the wall be
constructed before any other construction. He does not
think the building permit for the radiation building should
be held up until the wall is built, but the other things can
b~ held up. If the berm is changed to a wall, there may be
drainage considerations. He expects the drainage would be
handled on the north side of the property where the land is
left undisturbed between the parking lot and the wall. He
further explained how drainage considerations would be made
with the construction of the wall. He emphasized that the
conditions will be complied with.
Mr. Cassandra clarified that what is decided tonight cannot
be added to or deleted from and Mr. Cheney informed him that
what is decided tonight in respect to landscaping require-
ments could be increased by the Community Appearance Board,
but could not be decreased for an example. Mr. Cassandra
- 8 -
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 7, 1984
referred to the water problem and stated he was concerned if
during the process of building, we find a change should be
made for the benefit of the city, can that change be made
and Mr. Cheney replied affirmatively in order to meet the
minimum requirements of any code.
Mr. Cheney advised also that there have been meetings held
by the hospital with the residents. Mr. deLong replied that
this application came through the back door. The hospital
is just getting what they wanted in the beginning. He would
like to see that everything is put in writing by the hospi-
tal before approval or if approval is given, it will be con-
tingent upon an agreement with the hospital of what has to
be done and the City Manager will be charged that these con-
ditions are done. Mr. Cheney responded that their represen-
tative has stated on the record that they accept the 21
conditions and the wall. He thinks the question of the
order in which these things are done should be considered.
Mr. Gene Guertin, 2412 S.W. 4th Street, stated he doesn't
think anyone objects regarding the need of parking for the
hospital. The problem he is having is originally it was a
small parcel of land which they filed a suit over. What
happened to that small parcel of land? Why are ten acres
with a building now involved and not just the acute need for
parking? He suggests looking at the small parcel they need
for parking and give them that. Also, there is a definite
need to look at the drainage problem. If a 6' wall is not
properly drained, it will be undermined and the neighbors
will get water in their yards. The city adopted the compre-
hensive plan a number of years ago and by amending it
tonight, it will open the doors for all the commercial land
owners adjacent to residential to request rezoning. If the
city gives in to the hospital, it will affect the entire
city. He thinks the Council must look into this and what is
going to happen in the future. He would like to ask the
Council to look back at the original parcel asked for by the
hospital for rezoning and give them that now, as an alter-
native to giving ten acres tonight.
Mr. Cecil Fultz, 147 S.W. 24th Avenue, informed the Council
there is more than one person-who would be in favor of a
security fence or a wall. With a parking lot, there should
be a security fence along the side of the road. The resi-
dents are concerned with security and having protection from
people parking their cars and coming to their properties.
They don't mind meeting with the hospital and thought after
the Planning & Zoning Board meeting, they would get
together.

Vice Mayor Zimmerman asked if he was referring to the side
along 2nd Street and Mr. Fultz replied affirmatively. Mr.
Zimmerman informed him there will be a masonry wall there.
Mr. Fultz asked if there would be access along 24th and 25th
Avenues during construction and Mr. Cheney informed him that
it was stated at the Planning & Zoning Board meeting that
they did not plan to come through Westchester Heights at
all. They can use 26th Avenue.
Mayor Warnke stated that he thinks it would be logical for
the hospital to notify all the neighbors, rather than
sitting here and working out these items between them. In
the event of a disagreement, possibly it could be brought
back before the Council.
Mr. Joel Strawn, Attorney representing Bethesda Memorial
Hospital, told about having meetings with residents in the
area and requested a committee to be appointed so they could
discuss things with them. They were told by Mr. Foot the
residents were not able to come to enough resolution among
themselves to have that type of meeting. The City Council
requested that input be given to the City Attorney, but they
did not give any. They have been very receptive to infor-
mation from the residents. Councilman deLong stated they
should have invited the people to see the plans and Mr.
Strawn explained how it was difficult to determine whom to
invite. He clarified that they will be glad to build any type
of wall the residents want. Mr. deLong insisted that they
failed to contact the people in the immediate vicinity.
Councilman Wright told about hearing cQncerns about this
from the people and visiting the hospital. He believes the
citizens have had the time to express their concerns and he
is ready to vote now.
After further comments about the residents and the
hospital's plans, Mr. Kilday clarified that in regards to
the wall and how the neighbors want it, they are willing to
do either a berm or wall. Prior to the Community .Appearance
Board meeting, they will contact the adjacent neighbors to
get their consensus of how they want it treated. Prior to
the Community Appearance Board meeting, they will meet their
requirements.
Councilman deLong asked if the residents felt this was
satisfactory. Mr. Guertin replied that one of the reasons
the residents did not meet was that some people are totally
against the hospital. They did not want to appear in favor
- 10 -
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 7, 1984
of the rezoning with submitting a list of stipulations. Mr.
deLong asked if the proposals made by the hospital are
satisfactory and Mr. Guertin replied affirmatively, if it is
assured the 21 stipulations will be met. Mr. deLong
informed him these stipulations will be put in writing and
Mayor Warnke added that it will be followed up by the City
Manager. Mr. Cheney suggested that a meeting be held bet-
ween the hospital and neighbors prior to the Community
Appearance Board meeting, so the plans can go to that Board
after reaching agreement.
Councilman Cassandra stated he is in agreement with Dr.
Phillips. It is his opinion that this should have been two
separate requests, one for the radiology building and the
other for the parking requirements, and should not be
related or tied together. He then read the following writ-
ten. statement:
"Ladies, gentlemen, and Councilmembers, this applicant,
Bethesda Hospital, has been in front of different City
Councils, before my time and during my time. During these
periods of time, charges and counter-charges, trust and
mistrust have followed this application. Therefore, this
Council must put aside its own mistrust of the applicant as
well of each other and evaluate this request on its own
merits.
"The request that is in front of us is to change the
comprehensive plan from R-1AA to PUD. This request, like
all other requests, that is presented to the Planning &
Zoning Board and eventually to the Council must have with
its request, a proof of need.
"The burden of proof for any change in zoning must lie
with the applicant. The package submitted to the Planning &
Zoning Board and which we have, does not once show any proof
of the need of 772 parking spaces.
"To confirm that there is no need for 772 parking spa-
ces, let me give you some facts offered by Bethesda Hospital
themselves:
1. Letter from Dr. Weems, December 4, 1981
Bethesda wishes to have the property in question
rezoned, (Lot 13-19 of Benson Heights), because
additional parking must be provided for its
patients-, visitors, medical staff, and employees.
The hospital presently has 643 parking spaces and
- 11 -
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 7, 1984
at times, there is no space available to Park. If
we are permitted to utilize the land which we are
requesting be rezoned, we expect to generate
approximately 100 new parking spaces.
2. K~mley-Horn & Associates, Inc., June 25, 1982
We updated the parking inventory and conducted a
demand/needs analysis for existing conditions. We
found a current total deficiency of nearly 110 spa-
ces. When the hospital adds 100 additional beds
and expands it out-patient services, we found there
will be future needs for about 1,100 spaces, giving
a total need, with the current deficiency for the
hospital to plan to add some 400 spaces.
Fact - Hospital expert stated with future expansion
they will need 400 spaces only - hospital is asking
for 772.
Let's Look at this Future Expansion:
After 24 years of steady growth, the number of
patients it admits, Bethesda's occupancy level went
down about 8% last year forcing the hospital to lay
off employees last summer and again last month.
*Fact - 1983 Bethesda with 1,300 employees had a
75% rate of occupancy in June and the employees
were asked to take unpaid leave.
Fact: January 12, 1984 ~ Bethesda Hospital cuts
its labor force of 1,000 members by 4%; therefore,
from June 1983 to January 12, 1984, they went from
1,300 to 960.
Bethesda Hospital expert states that they need 400
spaces for future expansion. That might have been
true in 1981-82, but for 1983-84 and years to come,
I believe that the 100 bed expansion will not occur
because:
1. Competition from nearby Delray Community
Hospital.
2. Because of the building of a new hospital
west of Boca Raton.
3. Because permission was granted to West
Boca Raton to add a 15 bed maternity and
Bethesda was denied.
- 12 -
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 7, 1984
4. Because Delray Community Hospital was
given permission to add 50 more beds over the
next two years.
5. Because Bethesda themselves state and I
quote 'There is not an ongoing need to
increase the number of medical-surgical beds
in South Palm Beach County.'
Fact: They have cut their labor force by 340
employees. Their occupancy is about 70%. This all
means less parking spaces required, yet they keep
on asking for 772 spaces more - why??
"Is there a problem with Bethesda parking?
Dr. Weems in his letter stated at times, there are
no parking spaces. Now, I repeat, at times, he
never said all the time.
The hospital has three shifts:
7:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M. - 50% of the employees
come in - 480
3:00 P.M. - 11:00 P.M. - 30% of the employees
come in - 288
11:00 P.M. - 7:00 A.M. - 20% of the employees
come in - 192
"Now, if everybody drives their own car, the only time
you might have a problem would be between 2-4 P.M., when you
have visitors' hours, because the first shift will be
leaving and the second shift will be coming in and some
visitors. That lack of parking would occur approximately
between 2-3 P.M.
"Now, I have maintained that the front parking lot was
not being utilized to its fullest capacity. So, I decided
one more time to measure the parking lot, since the hospital
administration was ignoring my recommendation. For the
record, from the first car line on the east side (Seacrest
closest to 26th Avenue) to the west line of the entrance
coming in from 26th Avenue, measured from east to west, 170
feet and had five lines of cars. I then went to Sunshine
Square parking lot and using the same reference, I found
that the Sunshine parking layout had seven lines of cars,
two more than the hospital which I contended we would get
just for the area I measured. The lines in that area have
approximately 53 cars per line. The 100 slots that Dr.
Weems said he needed.
- 13 -

FEBRUARY 7, 1984
"But, instead the facts are for a sometime problem of
one hour, the hospital wants:
1. Change the comprehensive plan from R-1AA to PUD
2. Create spot zoning by splitting R-1AA down the
middle.
Take tax producing revenue off the city tax
base and instead collect no taxes, but we
still have to pay taxes to maintain a parking
lot.
Increase traffic flow on 23rd Avenue and other
effects.
"In review of the facts, I come to two obvious
conclusions:
The applicant has not shown a need for 772
parking spaces.
Bethesda expansion of 100 beds for the future
is not a reality.
"Councilmembers, obviously, we all have undue pressure
on us from the hospital, citizens involved, personal friends
and family. But in our decision making, only the facts
should be evaluated and that is: has the applicant shown
proof of need for 772 parking spaces?"
Councilman Wright replied that apparently they think there
is a need. Councilman Cassandra agreed there is for the
radiology building and he does not want to stop that, but
they have tied their request to a zoning change for parking
and not the radiology need. The front part of the hospital
is zoned PU and we have no control over PU.
Mr. Cassandra continued that another article Worrying him is
the report of Bethesda Hospital switching to a for-profit
status and he explained how other things could be involved.
Mr. Wright responded that if they go to a profit making
organization, they may not accept patients on medicare,
medicaid, etc. and he would have concerns about that.
Mayor Warnke stated the radiation therapy building could
generate their own parking needs. He just returned from a
growth management assembly and thinks at the present time,
the growth of Bethesda Hospital is being under-estimated

after hearing the facts of people moving into this area.
added in the past, there were innuendoes because of his
family's close ties to the hospital, it would affect his
thinking; however, he wants to let everyone know that his
daughter was laid off by Bethesda Hospital.
He
Mr. Cassandra reiterated that the growth will be in the west
and that's where expansion is needed.
Vice Mayor Zimmerman moved to approve the Planning & Zoning
Board's recommendation to adopt the plan which the hospital
has presented with the stipulations as enumerated and the
ones made tonight concerning the wall, drainage and
landscaping. Councilman Wright seconded the motion. Under
discussion, Mr. Cheney asked if this motion is conditioned
upon a meeting with the hospital and citizens and Mayor
Warnke replied that he thinks that is an internal matter

to work it out. As requested, Mrs. Boroni then took a roll

Ordinances - 2nd Reading - Public Hearing
Proposed Ordinance No. 83-54 - Re: Revised Election Code
Mr. Vance informed the Council this ordinance incorporates
all the proposed changes: four districts, mayor at large,
elimination of two term limitation, and residency require~
ment. At the special City Council meeting, there was indi-
cation by the City Council they might desire to eliminate
the two term limitation and residency requirement from the
proposed ordinance and make them independent. He then
drafted another ordinance.
Councilman Cassandra moved to delete the residency and two
term requirement from proposed Ordinance No. 83-54, seconded
by Councilman deLong. Under discussion, Vice Mayor
Zimmerman referred to a newly drafted ordinance being sub-
mitted having these items eliminated and Mr. Vance agreed.
Motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Vance read proposed Ordinance No. 83-54 by title as
amended:

Mayor Warnke asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak
in favor of proposed Ordinance No. 83-54 and received no
response. He then asked if anyone wished to speak in oppo-
sition and the following came before the Council.
Mrs. Dee Zibelli, 440 Ocean Parkway, stated she did not wish
to reiterate her whole speech from the last meeting, but she
is glad the Council decided to separate the election proce-
dures on the ballot. Keeping in mind the projection of
growth for Boynton Beach, she does not think the number of
districts should be decreased. She thinks the election of
mayor should be as now. She requests the Council to main-
tain the present five districts.
Rev. R. M. Lee stated that he is in opposition to decreasing
the districts. We should be thinking in terms of adding
based on the population projected for Boynton Beach. He is
in oppoSition to reducing the districts to four and the five
should be kept intact because of the growth. He does not
see the wisdom to put this on referendum to further confuse
the issue at this particular time. He is in opposition to

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 7, 1984
Mrs. Lyn Huckle stated in 1980, she was opposed to
districting for Boynton Beach and is still opposed to it.
However, in 1980, the citizens were clamoring for
districting for better representation; but today there is no
clamoring for change and very little enthusiasm for change.
She is opposed to proposed Ordinance No. 83-54 as amended.
She is opposed to anything which would delineate one
Councilmember from another except for the necessary chairing
of a meeting. We have a strong city Manager form of govern-
ment and having five equal Councilmembers are a greater
benefit for all citizens. She then explained how she feels
the Mayor benefits serving a year as Vice Mayor. She is in
agreement with Mrs. Zibelli and is completely against
reducing the number of districts from five to four. Also,
she has been included with an area like a tail and the area
is unlike her area in every way.
Councilman Cassandra then read a letter he received from
Mrs. Henrietta Solomon requesting to continue with the five
districts. She thinks the mayor should be selected by the
City Council. She agrees with the residential requirement.
She is opposed to unlimited terms because of stagnation on
the Council.
Mayor Warnke ascertained there were no further speakers and
declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Cassandra moved to approve Ordinance No. 83-54 as
amended, seconded by Councilman deLong. Under discussion,
Councilman deLong commented that he definitely would never
sit on the Council and deprive the people the right of
franchise to vote and he will go by the peoples' decision.
Councilman Cassandra referred to Rev. Lee and Rev. Davis
bringing out two points and stated the old proposal had
District I and part of V which would only expand with
growth. As we grow, we would be forced to change
districting. His only concern is why these people have not
addressed the Council during the last seven to eight
meetings. People have expressed to him that they are in
favor of changing our present system.
Councilman Wright referred to calling the City Attorney
several weeks ago in reference to this ordinance as his con-
cern was if he wanted to run for mayor under this new
system, he would not be able to and the City Attorney agreed
because he has served two consecutive terms. He feels that
does not make sense. Mr. Vance read from Section 50 and
clarified that if this section remains in effect and is not
amended by the voters, that limitation would apply to any

elective office. Mr. Wright replied that he feels this is
discriminatory as everyone should be given the right to run.
Councilman Wright then told about meeting with several
groups in the city and how the majority feel we should con-
tinue with the~five districts we presently have. With
electing the mayor at large, it makes it seem like he has
all the power. He agrees with Mrs. Huckle that people were
clamoring for districts in 1980 when it was a question of
districts or no districts, but this is the question of eli-
minating one district and electing the mayor at large. He
then commented on the effects of unopposed candidates. He
is going to have to vote against this.
Vice Mayor Zimmerman stated in consideration of all we have
done to give the voters a chance to change the election pro-
cedure, he is going to vote yes on this. Many people he has
talked to are against this and personally he is, but he
believes we' should give the voters a chance to decide.
Mrs. Boroni then took a roll call vote on the motion as
follows:
Councilman Wright - Nay
Mayor Warnke - He made a statement
at the last meeting
and made his views
plain, but feels
voting in opposi-
tion would affect
him personally. He
will go along with

and Councilman deLong

OTHER PURPOSES.
Mayor Warnke asked if anyone wished to speak in favor of
this proposed ordinance and received no response. He asked
if anyone in the audience wished to speak in opposition and
the following came before the Council.
Rev. R. M. Lee stated by cutting the districts and having no
limit to terms, it is setting up a dynasty in the city of
Boynton Beach. He sees this as a dynasty being created with
no limit to office. With the people coming into Boynton
Beach and considering their mentalities and abilities, there
should not be this kind of ordinance passed. He is going to
vehemently oppose this type of going backwards to set up a
dynasty. Two terms is long enough. He doesn't think the
people will stand for this. He is surprised the Council
even suggested this kind of thing in this day and time.
Councilman deLong responded that this will give the people
the opportunity to decide what they want.
Mrs. Lyn Huckle stated she agrees with former Mayor Trauger
that the Council benefits with getting fresh blood into
office. With districting, incumbency is even greater as
already evidenced with fewer people filing.
Mayor Warnke declared the public hearing closed.
Councilman Wright moved to approve proposed ordinance No.
84-4 on second reading, seconded by Councilman Cassandra.
Under discussion, Councilman deLong referred to this
allowing a councilman to succeed himself after two terms and
stated there are very few legislative bodies in the united
States which are limited to terms and he enumerated same.
He then told about projects started while he was in office
previously and how they were not carried through when he
went out of office. It is not right to have the limit.

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 7, 1984
Councilman Wright referred to a few people not being in
agreement, but stated we must be concerned about who repre-
sents us. By not placing a prohibition on the number of
terms to be served, it may generate more interest in serving
the community. He has spoken to a lot of elected officials
about this and very few cities mandate the number of terms
to be served. He believes the citizens should be given the
right to make a choice.
Councilman deLong added if the people are dissatisfied, they
have their day in court with election. Councilman Wright
agreed that he thinks the people will watch what is
happening.
Mrs. Boroni then took a roll call vote on the motion as
follows:
Mayor Warnke - Aye

Report on Utility Bond Refinancing
Mr. Cheney referred to presenting a report at the last
Council meeting stating that he hoped to have important
technical reasons to continue with the advice and involve-
ment with the people involved with our refunding issue and
the people who had assisted in preparing the refunding reso-
lution. This resolution was consistent with complicated
matters discussed at the special meeting. Since that time,
developments have taken place and a staff meeting was held
yesterday. He then read his memo dated February 6, 1984.
The proposal right now is only for Arch W. Roberts & Co. to
be involved with the refunding. If this issue is funded, it
- 28 -
REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 7, 1984
is up to the city Council where they want to go. The
Council may decide to open it for public discussion and
selection and let all people make application. After
getting the refunding issue finished, new money issues are
quite ordinary. It may be the time for the city to open
this up and take a look at the whole issue in the future.
He only suggests that Arch W. Roberts & Co. handle the
refunding issue. Mr. Roberts is present. In addition, pro-
bably in the sale of this issue of about $12,000,000, it is
indicated they will probably form a syndicate to actually
handle those bonds.
Mr. Cheney continued that on the final issue of Russell &
Axon preparing the documents, the Mayor did raise the
question about paying $15,000 to Russell & Axon to do the
work. The reason we are doing that is because we are asking
them to put their firm on the line in the certification pro-
cess before the courts that our organization is in good
shape from a utility and engineering viewpoint. We must
have this information and certification ahead of time.
Russell & Axon opens their liability exposure for this kind
of application.
Councilman Cassandra referred to being a strong supporter of
the competitive concept. He would like the Council to con-
sider the second option presented by the City Manager in his
first report to open the issue of financial adviser and
underwriting. Councilman Wright agreed this seemed to be a
viable alternative. He continued that this seems to be a
situation where it might be best to open for bids unless
getting some assurances from Arch W. Roberts & Co. to allow
these local firms to be involved. Vice Mayor zimmerman
advised that one of the stipulations is the purchasing of
the bonds will be open to others.
Mayor Warnke referred to Mr. Roberts being present and Mr.
Cheney added that since he has recommended this firm, he
feels they should hear from him. Councilman deLong replied
that he did not think it would be fair to have Mr. Roberts
speak before the others. Councilman Wright requested that
Mr. Roberts be given the opportunity to address the Council.
Mr. Arch Roberts informed the Council when the bonds are
ready for market, they do intend to form an underwriting
group involving those dealers in the community and nearby
who they are certain can help with distribution of securi-
ties to the public and will, therefore, help to get a lower
finance cost for the city. Mayor Warnke clarified that they
are the mechanism to get this refunded and Mr. Roberts

agreed. Mayor Warnke questioned the advantage of opening
this to competitive bidding and Mr. Vance informed him that
typically a refunding of this type is not the sort of thing
which can be bid, but the typical approach is to form a syn-
dicate and sell the bonds in this method.
Mr. Roberts stated that they have been involved in the muni-
cipal bond business in Florida for 18 years. They have been
involved in issues of this kind since the inception of their
firm. They have been involved in two issues where refunding
was open to public bidding and can document with evidence
that the public bidding process was costly to the issue.
They served as financial adviser and had to go the route of
competitive bidding. The refunding process is competitive
and must be involved with a bank from inception. He does
not know of any refundings handled where statutory provi-
sions have not required public sale.
Mr. Cheney clarified that there are two separate issues of
competition. One is the issue of competition of who to
select as financial advisor and the second is the question
of competition in selling the issue. He doesn't think
anyone will recommend the issue of going to public sale.
They must all go to a private negotiated sale, which is the
advantage of a syndicate. He explained how the Council has
the opportunity to consider several firms, but there is no
financial advantage.
Discussion ensued regarding the professional individuals who
have been advising the city on a regular basis.
Mr. Ed Wollenweber, Prudential-Bache Securities, stated the
last time he came before the Council, he expressed the con-
cerns were if the city should not be able to stay with their
previous firm, they would seek a local firm. He told about
Prudential-Bache having national power and local presence.
Mr. Worth T. Blackwell, Hough & Co., came before the Council
and referred to Mr. Schneider and Mr. Bland having worked
with the city in a capable fashion, but explained how there
is a major distinction between the functions of the
underwriter and financial adviser. He referred to the three
firms represented being capable and qualified and suggested
the city might have a unique opportunity of retaining all
three to represent it as their underwriters of this par-
ticular bond issue. It would mean tremendous experience,
additional advice, additional input and additional
suggestions.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
FEBRUARY 7, 1984
There was discussion pertaining to the handling of the golf
course and beach bonds issues.
vice Mayor zimmerman asked if there would be any advantages
or disadvantages to staying with George Bland and Arnold
Schneider for the structuring of the refinancing and going
to a concerted effort of various companies in the sale of
the bonds? Mr. Cheney informed him the bonds will be sold
by a syndicate. It has been suggested by Mr. Blackwell that
they form a three part manager. How these three people
would arrange their financial sharing of that issue, he does
not know. He further referred to there having been a lot of
work done in the preparation for this issue.
Councilman Wright referred to liking to see people working
together and requested comment from Mr. Roberts. Mr.
Roberts stated they would rather be the sole manager. They
would reluctantly accept the other arrangement if it is the
Council's wish.
Councilman Cassandra referred to his original concern being
the competitive concept and stated he does not necessarily
agree with three managers. He would like the city Manager
to evaluate these firms and submit a recommendation- Mr.
Cheney questioned on what basis they could be evaluated?
Mr. Cassandra .asked why the firm was recommended now and Mr.
Cheney replied because he believes continuity is important
and they can all do the work. Mr. deLong asked why we were
trying to throw out the old firm when it has been satisfac-
tory and Mr. Cheney clarified that he was recommending that
we continue with the two people we have a relationship with
nOW.
Councilman Wright suggested that they reach a compromise and
work together and Mr. Roberts agreed that they could pro-
bably reach an agreement.
Councilman Wright moved that Arch W. Roberts & Co. meet with
Hough & Co. and Prudential-Bache Securities and come back
with a regort with a resolution to this matter. Councilman
deLong seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor Warnke
referred to other financial institutions coming in and Mr.
Cheney replied that we are not in the situation of bidding
at this point, but are looking at financial advisers and
making a judgment of which is best. Mr. zimmerman asked if
the motion is for Arch W. Roberts & Co. to be the financial
advisor and Mr. Wright replied negatively as the motion is
they get together and come back with a solution. Mr.
zimmerman stated he would rather go in the direction of

appointing a firm which has done some work and go with a
group for underwriting bonds. After further discussion,
Mayor Warnke clarified the motion was to send back the
recommendation of Arch W. Roberts & Co. and have them meet
with Hough & Co. and Prudential-Bache to agree on a solu-
tion. Motion carried 3-2 with vice Mayor zimmerman and
Mayor Warnke dissenting.
Mr. Roberts advised they could probably reach an agreement
this evening, so it would not have to be delayed until the
next meeting. Councilman deLong suggested this be included
on the agenda for the special meeting and Mr. Cheney agreed
and announced the meeting would begin at 6:30 P. M. on
February 16.

Consider Approval of Maintenance Agreement - C-16 Canal
Mr. Wright referred to the canal being cleaned and Mr.
Cheney clarified that it is just not cleaning the canal, but
doing maintenance. Mr. Frederick advised the agreement is
that the city maintain the flat portion along the C-16 Canal
from Seacrest Blvd. east to the railroad. We will keep that
area cut, mowed and clean for upper bank access. The South
Florida Water Management District indicated they will main-
tain the slope along the canal. They will use chemical
applications to contain weed growth, so people can have
access to the canal for fishing.

this. He thinks we should do something to show our support
of having something done along 10th Avenue.

junction with the City Manager set up a little affair,

RE: Request For Clarification
Dear Mr. Frederick:
The Florida Department of Natural Resources, Bureau of Aquatic
Plant Research and Control issued Joyce Environmental Consultants,
INC. a permit (#SF-83-04-22-04) to control nuisance aquatic vege-
tation in the City of Boynton Beach canals.
The herbicides,that were requested have been approved by the
Environmental Protection Agency and the Florida Department of
Agriculture anff Consumer Services for t~he purposes requested
by the permittee.
Quarterly activity reports indicate that the permittee has used
the requested herbicides at a rate consistent with label directions
and that herbicide rates appear to have been applied below con-
centrations requiring that use restrictions be placed on treated
water.
The Bureau relies on applicants to comply with notice requirements
where notice is required by the Environmental Protection Agency.
In this instance the permittee indicated that they would work
with the City of Boynton Beach to comply with any notice requirements.
The Bureau does not consider that this incidence has created any
threat to health or to the environment.
