Dr. Richard S. Carrington, 4775 Quailwood Crescent, Boynton Beach,
congratulated CounCilman deLong on his win in the General Election.
Dr. Carrington appeared principally in answer to Vice Mayor
Trauger's comment to the press that if he (Dr. Carrington) had a
point to make, that he should bring it to the Council. Dr.
Carrington advised that he had a point to make.
- 2 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 1982
According to the press, Dr. Carrington believed City Attorney Vance
said that the City of Boynton Beach would be able to provide the
people in the western ar~as with better police protection and better
fire protection. City Attorney Vance did not think he said that.
Unfortunately, Dr. Carrington did not have a copy of the paper with
him. He told City Attorney Vance if he was in error, he would
apologize.
Dr. Carrington said if the City of Boynton Beach had any interest
in annexing any of the western ar.eas at the present time, they were
doing a very poor public relations job in selling annexation into
the City. Dr. Carrington advised that there is a lot of opposition,
and he thought the opposition was made primarily because there has'
been no real input to the various communities out there as to the
services the City has to offer.
Dr. Carrington brought out that there was a major fire in Quail
Ridge a few days ago. Dr. Carrington talked to Security before
coming to the Council Meeting. Security told him that the fire
fighting equipment· was there in four minutes of the call. Dr.
Carrington seriously doubted that the City of Boynton Beach would
be able to beat that time. He suggested a race sometime.
Mayor Harmening interjected that the City of Boynton Beach does
have a fire station about 1,000 yards from Quail Ridge. He agreed
that four minutes was good response time.
Dr. Carrington informed %he Council that he lives in Greentree Villas.
Dr. Carrington contended (and so has the coalition which is presently
made up of fifteen developments '±n the western area) that about the
only thing the City of Boynton Beach seems to have to offer at this
time is higher taxes. As far as the police services ars concerned, Dr.
Carrington advised that they were in contract with the County
Sheriff's Department to have a marked car~with a deputy in their
development for twelve hours for less than $49.00 per unit per year.
Dr. Carrington did not think that compared in any way with the
· additional taxes they would have to pay.
Dr. Carrington said his point was that if there was some real
interest in getting together with the western areas, the City would
have to do a bette~ public relations job.
Mayo~ Harmening told Dr. Carrington that all of the discussions of
the Council relating to annexation in the western areas had been
predicated entirely on those areas'which were immediately contiguous
to the City and that are undeveloped at this time. Mayor Harmening
said the City had a map of all of those areas showing the County
zoning on the areas, the size of the area, and any owners who live
on the particular parcels. Mayor Harmening said all of the dis-
cussions of the Council have centered on that and not on any of the
members of Dr. Carrington's cbalition.
MINUTES v REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 1982
Dr. Carrington added that the Council was probably aware of the
bill that had been sponsored by Mayor Weeks from Delray had been
withdrawn. Mayor Harmening advised, that it failed. Dr. Carrington
asked where that would leave the City's mandatory annexation efforts
for the western areas. Mayor Harmening reiterated that the City
was not discussing anything that was not contiguous, and it had
not been the focus or the center of any of their discussions.
Dr. Carrington replied that was exactly the point the' was making,
The impression people in the western areas have is'~that the City is
interested in jumping over the. belt of-~establish~d residences, go-
i~g'.along Military Trail,-to require mandatory annexation, Dr.
Carrington advised. Dr. Carrington told the Council if that state-
ment is not true, it'should be corrected. Mayor Harmening said,
hopefully, the press had been at~al'l of' the meetings'.where they had
the discussions. Possibly, Mayor Harmening continued, the press
could run a little article of what had been said tonight.
Mayor Harmening informed Dr. Carrington that actually, under State
law (.as Dr. Carrington is probably aware of), if it were the City's
fondest desire and Dr. Carrington's fondest desire to be annexed
at this point and time, Mayor Harmening was not sure that the City
could accomplish it in any way, shape, or form because they are not
contiguous. That was Dr. Carrington's~understanding. He added that
with the failure of the bill to nullify that, the City was right
back to "Square 1." Mayor Harmening replied that the City was not
back to Square 1 because they never approached Square t in any way.
He said the City never discussed any of the annexations of any of
the populated areas' to the west of the City. The only areas that
the City has discussed, and discussed time and tim~ again, Mayor
Harmening continued, are those areas directly contiguous and
vacant, undeveloped real estate. Mayor Harmeing said the City has
been annexing them regularly and will continue to annex them.
Obviously, Dr. Carrinqton commented, he had been~reading the press
wrong, and perhaps he should read another newspaper. Mayor Harmening
promised that the next time the City has a discussion on the agenda,
he would see that Dr. Carrington gets a notice of the meeting so that
he can come and hear the discussion.
Councilman Wright noted the City has come a long way and has a
way to go, but he was sure that Dr. Carrington could give them more
credit than just offering high taxes.
City Manager Cheney remarked that. it was unfortunate that people
who live in the County and pay County taxes and the total cost of
the Sheriff but have to pay an additional amount of money to get a
Sheriff to come around to their neighborhood once in awhile. City
Manager Cheney advised that is not necessary in the City of
Boynton Beach.
BIDS
Vending Machines

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 1982
City Manager Cheney informed the Council that there are a number of
vending machines around the City with a variety of financial
arrangements for them. -He said they went out to bid to see if
they could get a coordinated agreement with one of the major pro-
viders 'of the vending machine so they could possibly make a greater
return than they are now. City Manager Cheney found ~there is an
interest in this. Delray Beach has already done this. City Manager
Cheney recommended that the Council award the bid to Coca Cola
Bottling Company of Miami. He eStimated that the City might get
about $5,000.00 on the proposal, and he recommended having an
agreement with Coca Cola.
Councilman deLong moved to accept the recommendation of the Tabula-
tion Committee and award the bid to Coca Cola Bottling Company of
Miami, Inc. in the amount o-f $648.00. Councilman Wright felt it
was a good program and stated as much as he likes coca cola, he was
sure the City could exceed that amount. Councilman Wright
seconded the motion, and the motion carried 5-0.
P.S. 317 Gravity Sewer Extension - Service to Burger King,
1521 Northwest Second Avenue
City Manager Cheney recommended that the award be made to Johnson-
Davis, Inc. of Boynton Beach, Florida, in the amount of $12,374.00.
CoUncilman deLong moved, seconded by Councilmember Woolley, to
accept the recommendations of the Utility Director and the City
Manager and award the bid to Johnson-Davis, Inc. of Boynton Beach,
Florida, in the amount of $12,374.00. No discussion. The motion
carried 5-0.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING M~RCH 3, 1982
City Attorney Vance continued by saying the cases had been decided
really in relation to the factual situation. City Attorney~Vance
advised that his firm felt if the City abandons the street, the
odds are approximately 50-50 that it would be a valid abandonment.
Conversely, City Attorney Vance said, the odds are about 50% that
the Court might hold that it was not a valid abandonment inasmuch
as Bethesda has withdrawn their consent and, in fact, are actively
opposing it.
City Attorney Vance advised that his firm would suggest that the
Council would complete the hearing tonight. The actual Resolution
would not be on until after the nextmeeting of the Council. In
the interim (next week) the hospital will have their hearing on the
request for a temporary injunction, which the Court will either
grant or deny. City Attorney Vance advised, "We can then come back
and the Council can make a decision at the next regular meeting.
If the injunction is granted, there is no decision to make. We
are enjoined from doing it. If the request for injunction is
denied, then the Council will be able to make a decision, and we
will have to tell the Council, as I have told you right now.,
City Attorney Vance remarked, "It is just about a toss up."
Councilman deLong was very much concerned and appreciated the fact
(in reading over the staff reports) the Patrolman pointed out when
he said it would eliminate a speed hazard in that particular loca-
tion. City Manager Cheney commented that the City woUld proceed
right along with the Council's desire for~abandonment, if that is what
the Council decides, after the public hearing. Councilman deLong
just wanted to know where the City stood on a legal basis.
Councilman Wright wanted Assistant City Attorney Wolf to add to
the subject. Assistant City Attorney Wolf informed the Council
that Bethesda HosPital offered to Withdraw thei~ motion for a
temporary injunction if the City will put off acting on the abandon-
ment until May. Attorney Wolf could not see any benefit to the City
in doing that. Attorney WOlf thought the issue should be decided,
at least on a temporary basis. He could not see any advantage to
the City in putting the decision off~ What Bethesda is saying,
Attorney Vance continued, is that if they beat the City on the
zoning, then they do not care if the City abandons the Street.
Assistant Attorney Wolf thought the City should definitely wait on
the zoning question but he did not see any benefit to the City to
put off the hearing at the present time. Assistant City Attorney
Wolf reiterated that the Council should be aware that Bethesda
offered to withdraw their request for a hearing if the City agrees
not to take any action on the abandonment until the end of May.
Councilman deLong said Bethesda Hospital was of the opinion that
they have governmental privileges, but he did not think any govern-
ment should step in and declare spot zoning in a residential area.
Attorney Wolf told Councilman deLong that Bethesda was of the
opinion they.~ ~r~ a governmental entity and not subjected to the
zoning ordinances of the City. Attorney Wolf advised that he had
done research on it and had handled a.case when he was with the City of
West Palm Beach on a similar matter.
- 9 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 3, 1982
Attorney Wolf further'stated that in the West Palm Beach matter,
they found that all State Agencies were subject to City zoning,
especially since the local Government Comprehensive Planning Act
has been passed, It specifically states in there that any govern-
ment agency is considered a developer and are subject to City zoning
laws..
Mayor Harmening felt certain the City's position was unassailable
with regard to zoning. Councilmember Woolley noted that Attorney
Wolf brought up all of this~information, including a report, and
everything the City went through for those hours and hours at the
hospital.- Attorney'Wolf stated that some of that'was not relative
to the temporary hearing but would be brought up at the final
hearing. City Attorney Vance summarized by saying that, mn essence,
they felt very good about the zoning 'suit. City Attorney Vance
said there was a possibility it could be considered to have some
access via that road, concerning the abandonment, but it was not
quite as sure a situation.
Assistant City Attorney Wolf reiterated that he had done some
extensive research. He just did nc

Councilman deLong asked if there would be any confliction insofar
as the grants that the'City received from EPA. Mayor Harmening
replied that this would not' have anything to do with that. He
explained that the purpose of the Resolution was that on numerous
occasions there are parcels of land that are nearby in our annex-
ation area and the owner comes in and petitions the County for some
form of zoning which is contrary to the City's land use plan and
their land use plan. They expect the City to provide sewer
services, water services, and do not follow their land use
plan. Mayor Harmening continued by saying the City's sizing has
been predicated upon a certain predetermined density and when the
density is grossly exceeded over a considerable area, it rather
throws the planning into a "cocked hat". Councilman deLong
thanked Mayor Harmening for the dissertation but remarked that he
was the fellow who sponsored it.

City Attorney Vance said he had been asked one quest-ion by
Councilmember Woolley with respect to the City's existing bond
resolution and whether or not this would be in violation of any
provisions of base bond resolutions. City 'Attorney Vance advised
that he had reviewed same and did not find that in the bond
resolution there would be any problem with'-~he>.proposed service
area policy
Councilman deLong wondered if this would disturb the grants that
were given to the City from EPA. City'Manager Cheney replied that
the whole idea behind these p61i-cies i's related, especially on the
sanitary sewer side, _ . to capacity. The
only area where the City has any grant is the sanitary sewer and
not the water.
Where the sewer is concerned, City Manager Cheney pointed out that
was the one where they had the greatest concern about capacity,
and the inability to extend the City's capacity is a product of
- 16 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 3, 1982
the current status of EPA f~nding. EPA & DER controls. Mr. Cheney
continued by saying, as long as the City is relating these policies
to its ability and projections on service, ~he could see no problem
with EPA. City Manager Cheney pointed out that the City ms ready,
along with Delray Beach and the Sewer Board, to expand the plant.
As a matter of fact, City Manager Cheney told the Council the City
has been going into a Step 2 process to get the plant expanded.
City Manager Cheney said they were working with the State to change
some regulations on the City's part and are doing all they can for
expansion. City Manager Cheney thought the City's record was good
on expansion. City Manager Cheney said the responsibility is to be
concerned about the capacity that is there and he did not think they
'could be criticized for that.
Councilman deLong asked if the answer to his question was No.
City Manager Cheney replier ~that was correct.
City Attorney Vance concurred, based upon the philosophy set forth
in the Resolution. City Attorney Vance pointed out that it was
designed to protect the system's integrity as a whole, and he did
not think there would be any problems with EPA.
Councilmember Woolley wondered what they would tell people when they
call. City Manager Cheney replied that, under the policy, there are
a number of things they night have to do to get into the priority
listing. He said they could look and see where they might fall in
the priority listing. City Manager Cheney said they could look and
say, "What are our capacity problems, if any." Councilmember Woolley
asked, "Who would determine that?"
City Manager Cheney replied that the City knows, almost month to
month, what its obligations are for capacity in the future because
they know what plans have been approved, what commitments and what
letters have been written indiCating that sewer might be available.
City Manager Cheney reported that they keep up to date quarterly on
the densities - on the expected densities of development and, there-
fore, the expected demand for sewer. The policy has some things
that relate to an agreement they signed which will affect their
standing in the priority level. City Manager Cheney advised that
if they are willing to sign an agreement which is attached to this
policy, they would move up in the priority scale. City Manager
Cheney said they would then, at that time, have to look and say
what are our commitments to Priority 1, Priority 2, etc., and then
do .we have capacity for them, depending on what priority they are in.
Councilmember Woolley asked if a developer knows he is coming in
in the future and he would need a letter to present to the County
saying sewer would be available, and then they would say they do
not know at that time, could they give the developer a letter.
City Manager Cheney replied that, if the City does not know, they
will not give him a letter.
Councilmember Woolley thought it was a wonderful, well written policy
that m~de a lot of .sense, but would hate to be hung up if some months later, the
City. is to service the area. She felt what they were saying was the

Councilmember Woolley admitted ~hat she was.confused.
City Manager Cheney clarified that the bond indenture simply allows
the City to have the money for building a utility system. That is
all it does. It tells the City how to pay for it and how to handle
the funds, etc.

'Vice Mayor Trauger said, as Councilmember Woolley mentioned, the
purpose for which he proposed this was because of the limitation
of the capacity of the sewer plant as it now exists and the problems
of funding for expansion. Vice Mayor Trauger was greatly concerned
about the priority list or the Dbility to effect an annexation if
the State requirements were ever met, as the portion'°n this, to
keep the supply in line with th~ demand. Vice Mayor Trauger pointed
out that they know there is goiNg.to be a far greater demand than
the supply. Also, Vice Mayor T~auger continued, as people program
the developments years in adVance, to give a commitment now without
the commitment of the agreementLis extending the services far be-
yond the reasonableness for the people who are quite contiguous and
come along a little later.
Councilman deLong knew the area was designated as Boynton Beach"s
area, and EPA had a hand in it as well as the State. Councilman
deLong also believed that the City was very fortunate that the old
Plant was phased out instead of being cut off. He thought the City
may be in ~ position to reactivate that plant. Vice Mayor Trauger
believed the main factor in theCity's favor is that wherever you
go, both the sewer and water li~es are connected-with valves that
are in here.
Councilman Wright asked how soon could they get some correspondence
from the EPA.. City Manager Cheney answered that they could ask for
an answer but'he doubted that ~hey would get it. City Manager
Cheney .said Councilman Wright could ask'. them the question but he
would nOt be optimistic about ~heir answer, councilman Wright
thought it was a good plan and still wanted the City to inquire of EPA.
Vice Mayor Trauger moved for the adoption of the Htilities Service
Area Policy as ~ropOsed. Councilm~m~er Woolley seconded the motion.
Mayor Harmening re~eated that ~he motion was to accept the proposed
Utilities Service krea Policy, as presented',~ and to make the comments

Consider Renewal of Lease Agreement between the City and Thomas E.
and Linda Coffey - Access t'o Landfill
City Manager Cheney read his memo dated March 3, 1982 regarding
the lease which has been in effect between the City and the
Coffeys since March of 1977. He read as follows:
" ,As you can see, the Lease contains four (4) conditions, one
of whiCh was that the City would have the option to renew~ the
Lease for four (4). consecutive one y~ear te~ms. The Lease was
renewed in 1978, 1979, 1980, and 1981,
I have discussed the execution of an additional Lease for five
(5) one year terms. The attached letter dated February 25,
1982 is based on discussions that I have had with Mr. Coffey and
is acceptable to him with one exception, that exception being that
the City formally include in the lease an understanding that the
family currently living on the landfill property will be required
to move off of the property by the end of- February, 1983,
It is desirable that the City continue to have a Lease for this
access road to the landfill and, therefore, I recon~end that the
City Council authorize the ~xecution of a-lease with the terms out-
lined above and contained in the February 25, 1982 letter to Mr.
Coffey."

City Manager Cheney told the Council it is land that is between
Mr. Coffey's house and the c ~al. F~r. Coffey is concerned~
Although he has no obj to the City using it. Mr. Coffey is
concerned that only the Cit' uses it and the privacy which he
hoped to have when he moved there would over the years be
protected and improved. Manager Cheney informed the Council
- 19 -
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING MARCH 3, 1982
that is why he wants the gate relocated and, eventuall~ to have the
family moved out.
City Manager Cheney sa~id the City had talked with regulatory
agencies and they do not need a family living there because of the
limited use of the landfill, mainly for vegetation material, so
there would be no problem there. City Manager Cheney further
said that Mr. Coffey has no problem giving th'e family a year's
notice so they are not just suddenly forced to'leave, after being
there for ten years. City Manager Cheney told the Council they
talked to Mrs. Bartlett yesterday, before she could hear about
it some other way, and she understood.
Councilman deLong moved that the renewal of the Lease Agreement be
executed, subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in
the letter from City Manager Cheney to Thomas E. Coffey, dated
February 25, 1982. The motion was seconded by. Vice Mayor Trauger.
Councilman deLong brought out that this had been going on for
quite awhile. Councilman deLong said the City had that piece of
property and when they abandoned it to landfill, it was used for
the disposal of trash. Councilman deLong recalled~it~went a way
back and has been in force for a n%~mber of years~ He. wanted-to
find out, in view of the fact that the City is t~an~lo-ck~, if~
there was any possible way that there would be aR~ relief to get
away from this. City'Attorney Vance replied that the City would
have the power to condemn an access way in. He did not know if
that made economic.sense or not.
Councilman deLong co~ented that when you figure out how long the
City has been paying on the lease, the amountwe~havepaid and this is a
continuous thing. Councilman deLong asked-how much further would
the landfill property be available. City Attorney Vance could not
answer the question. Councilman deLong asked City Manager Cheney
if it was the piece of property adjacent to the proposed golf
course. City Manager Cheney replied that ~it is.
City Manager Cheney informed the Council that when it is used as
a golf course, its access will come from the bridge a.cross the
canal. Councilman deLong noted that would eliminate the power to
condemn. City Manager Cheney said it had been put to five years
with the hope that sometime in the next five years, the County will
get together on what. they are going to do with their Countywide
solid waste problem. If the proposal for resource recovery goes
through, as currently planned, Mr', Cheney advised that th~re~ will
be in the South County a resource facility at one location. He
added that there would also be throughout the County at least two
Class 3 landfill areas. City Manager Cheney explained that Class 3
is primarily vegetatiue landfill.
Somewhere in the County, out west, City Manager Cheney said.there
will be a veg.etativ~ landfill developed~by the Solid Waste Authority,
and at that point, the C~ty would not need an~ probably would not
build this landfill any more. The City would have to phase it out
and let it compact and get it prepared for the eventual expansion

He added, "Then
Councilman deLong pointed out that what they were talking about now
was the total expenditure for five years of approximately $6,000.00.
He asked City Attorney Vance what the legal fees would be if the
City went in for an Order of Taking. Mayor Harmening remarked that
it might not necessarily be the legal fees. Councilman deLong
understood that the land would ~have to appraised, but asked City
Attorney Vance where the City would be. He asked if it would be
the best course to follow. Based upon what City Manager Cheney
said, City Attorney Vance said there appeared to be a reasonable
probability that Solid Waste would reach a decision in the next
five years. City Attorney Vance realized that it had been going
on for a number of years but said it seemed to be coming to a head.
He advised~that if they go in to condemn a right-of-way, they
would have to consider the cost of the actual land they take, and.~.tegal
fees. City Attorney~Vance advised that it varies. Councilman
deLong felt they would be better off to wait until the completion of
the golf course.
A vote was taken on Councilman deLong's motion, and the motion
carried 5-0.
Elizabeth Bartlett, Custodian of the landfil~l, pointed out that if
Mr. Coffey locks the gate and Florida Power and Light Company comes
to read the light meter or the company with her drink~ing water comes
to deliver water every two weeks, they will not be able to get'in
because they will not have a key. Mrs. Bartlett informed the
Council she has been there for almost ten years and never had any
words or trouble with Mr. Coffey. She said her husband3has dealings
with Mr. Coffey all of the time,
Mrs, Bartlett informed the Council that no traffic comes up the
road except the trash truck. She said she has a daughter who lives
on Palm Way who goes 'to see her. Mrs. Bartlett requested that a
gate not be put up and that she not be locked in.
City Manager Cheney advised that the City was in a situation where
Mr. Coffey says that if the City wants to continue the lease
that access ro'ad, they must put up the gate. ObViously, City Manager
Cheney told the Council, Mrs. Bartlett will have a key and they
can make arrangements for the water man and others to go in. The
situation the City is in is it is Mr. Coffey's land,, and the City
wants to use it, Mr. Cheney advised. City Manager Cheney said the
City would accommodate Mrs. Bartlett while she is there.
Mrs. Bartlett was sure the City had looked into it but informed
the Council that her husband went to the Palm.Beach County Courthouse
today (March 3), and he understood from the land development office
that the right'of~way (as long as it has been there) could not be
closed. City Manager Cheney explained that it was not a right-of-
way. It is a lease over his land that the City has. City Manager
Cheney said the City is simply leasing Mr. Coffey's land.

MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MARCH 3, 1982
City Attorney Vance told Mrs. Bartlett she was talking about an
easement. He advised that when you use land subject to a written
agreement, which the City has (the City has a lease), then there is
no prescriptive easement that arises.~ City Attorney Vance
told Mrs. Bartlett she'was on there pursuant to a written lease, and
the thought that an easement may exist is not applicable.
Mrs. Bartlett understood that she has one year from today (March 3,
1982) to stay out there. Mayor Harmening informed Mrs. Bartlett
that according to the agreement, she is to be out by the end of
February, 1983.
Mr. Bartlett talked to '-a ma~n-"-in'-~ Palm Beach today (March 3, 1982).
The ima~3inl Palm Beach told him as long as the landfill has been
there (25 years like it has), no one could close him out of there if
he lived there. Mr. Bartlett said it did not make any difference,
as they had to have a right-of-way into there whether the dump is
closed or not. Mr. Bartlett repeated that as'long as they have
been there and as long as the dump is there (thailand fill), no
one could close them out. Mr. Bartlett said they ~ had to have 'a
right to go in there whether it was for trash trucks or whatever.
City Manager Cheney told Mr. Bartlett it would help if the person
he talked to would Write in a letter the words he told Mr.
Bartlett so the City could see exactly what question he is answer-
ing and what information he is giving the City. City Manager
Cheney commented that sometimes peOple give answers without
really understanding all of the .~ifications. City Manager Cheney
did not know who Mr~ Bartlett talked to bUt said it might help, if
it was some official in the County who might give his opinion in
writing.
Councilman Wright asked Mrs. Bartlett if she spoke with Mr. Coffey.
Mrs. Bartlett replied, "No, My husband talks to him all of the
time." Mr. Bartlett said he talks to Mr. Coffey all of the time
and there was no trouble between them. Mr. Coffey told the Council
he does business with Mr. Coffey, He bet in the last year, there
have not been fifteen strange cars up there except for the Sheriff's
office that comes up about three times a month. Mr. Bartlett did
not know what was bothering Mr. Coffey. He said he would rather have
someone up therethan not to have anybody up there. Mr. Bartlett
said it was up to the Council.
Councilmember Woolley noted that the Bartletts would have a key to
the gate, so she could see no problem. Mrs. Bartlett pointed out
that it would be locked at night time. Councilmember Woolley
remarked that Mrs. ~Rartlett would have a key so she could see no
problem. Mrs. Bartlett asked what if an emergency came up, and her
daughter had to see her. Councilmember Woolley replied that Mrs.
Bartlett should have a key made. City Manager Cheney was sure
duplicate keys could be made but said there would have to be an
understanding on the number of keys that were made.

Others
City Manager Cheney told th~3~'C~u~c~-~h~ had a report recommend-
ing that the City continue its relationship with the other cities
in fUnding the feasibility studies for the resource recovery
project. City Manager Cheney felt it was very important that the
City continue with this. He added that some groups of people in
the County have to "stay on the ball" and proceed ekp~di'tio~sly to keep
some pressure and direction going~ Mayor Harmening asked if City
Manager Cheney was implying that the~Board of County Commissioners
do not pay any attention to their details. City Manager Cheney
replied that there has been some reluctance on the part of some of the
representatives on the Solid Waste Authority to make a decision
and move ahead. City Manager Cheney felt it was essential that the
City go in that direction and then ~und it. City Manager Cheney
pointed out that as long as the City funds it, they have some
control over the progress of the study and the direction it goes.
City Manager Cheney further advised that there was some discussion
that the County might fund some portions of that to do some other
things, and he thought that was fine as long~ as they fund- the

at Tallahassee proposed legislation that would ~equire that any

or tabled in a hearing yesterday (March 2, 1982), but it passed
the Senate today (March 3) 37-0. City Manager Cheney did not know
where ~ur County Senators were or whether they had'voted, but he
was concerned about .it. He added it may come up in the House very
soon.
City Manager· Cheney advised that if that passed, the City would
not have a reasonable resource reco'very plant because Wlhatever~-~-~
low density would ~ean un~er that, it would ben-somewhere o~wh~r~!~there
would not be an electric grid or a plant that steam could go to or
something of that nature. City Manager Cheney did not know why it
was sponsored by a legislator from Palm Beach County but he had the
feeling of why i~ might be. City Manager Cheney felt it was
because Of~th~iw~ole~.issue ofisotidw~ste resOurce recovery plant location
in Palm Beach County. A somewhat logical discussion is going on
right now as to where it should be, City Manager Cheney continued.
City Manager Cheney predicted that if the bill passes, they would
eliminate the opportunity to put resource recovery in a place
where there is a market for resource recovery. City Manager Cheney
hoped that the Council might authorize him to call members of the
House and urge them to not support that kind of legislation.

In listening to the radio on the topic of water conservation, Vice
Mayor Trauger noted that the City of Juno Beach ~had a water
problem. Part of the problem that aggravated them also aggravated
Delray Beach. Vice Mayor Trauger said the problem was that the
City supplies water to outlying districts within the corporation
limits. They paid for the water, Vice Mayor Trauger granted, but
said it was still water use. Vice Mayor Trauger continued by
saying that while the City imposed restrictions within the City,
the people in the outlying districts continued to use water to a
great extent, and the City had no power to Police the use or
requirements as far as conservation was concerned. In Juno Beach,
Vice Mayor Trauger said they more.or less "thumbed their noses" at'
the City and kept on running the water out, wide open~, and doing all

of Boynton Beach to get into a similar bind. Mayor Harmening

Councilman deLong wished to ascertaiN whether or not there was any

Mr. Katz reported that there are established.city courses which are

Based upon the experiences of some of the courses, Mr. Katz believed
revenue for the future would come to the City.
Alfred Peiffer, 1802 Ocean Drive, Boynton Beach Leisureville,
advised that he was a retired stock and bond broker and had been
involved in past years with the underwriting of bonds. Mr. Peiffer
assured the Council that the difference between unbacked up bonds
and ones that had the backing of the City is about (in today's
market) about three points. Three points works down to the fact
that the $4,000,000.00 issue would be $120,000.00, Mr. Peiffer
advised. Mr. Peiffer further advised ~that what the City ~ould do,
if they do not back it~up, is to give $120,000.00 away. He told
the Council if they back it up~ in the event of an emergency, they
would be called on. The way golf courses are now, Mr. Peiffer
informed the Council that no one will be building any more golf
courses so the demand for golf courses will be great, and time is
of the essence of this problem. Mr. Peiffer told the Council they
should see their way clear to pass it tonight so they could get on
with it and start building the golf course.
Joseph Sciortino, 525 North West 7th Court, Laurel.Hills, Boynton
Beach, Chairman of the Golf Course Advisory Committee, advised that
he works at the Delray BeachCountry Club, They made a sizeable
profit last year for the City of Delray Beach, Mr. Sciortino told
the Council, Unfortunately, Mr. Sciortino said it goes into the
General Revenue of the City. He thought the money would be put back
into the support of the golf course, where it is needed, in the
City of Boynton Beach and where Delray Beach should have put it.
Mr. Sciortino advised that Boca Raton was averaging between 200
and 250 people a day playing golf and they~have over 525 memberships
sold. As of today (March 3), the City of Boynton Beach had 253
Boynton Beach residents who paid the_S50.00 fee for annual permits
and 193 for the County, which totaled 446, without a spade being put
Lnto the ground, without the bond issue being sold, and. without the
golf course being a reality, The interest in the County and
Boynton Beach for the golf course is being demonstrated-greater
in Boynton Beach than in Boca Raton, Mr, Sc±ortino thought.
Mr, Sciort±no thought that was very encouraging, He went to
different communities and met with the people to ask them if they
would support the bond iSsues for the golf courses in Boca Raton
and Delray Beach. In both cases, the-cities chose to support the
bond issues by using non-ad valorem~tax money revenue which, in
the cities' cases,.were franchise taxes collected by Florida Power
and Light Company and Southern Bell. Based on the track records
of BOca Raton and Del~ay BeaCh and what Mr. Sciortino considered
extremely encouraging interest shown without any promotion on the
part of the City, he felt there would be no problem in Selling the
bonds,

REPORT OF GOLF ADVISORY COMMITTEE
to
BOYNTON BEACH CITY CO~CIL
2-p.Appendage to Minu~s
of 3/3/82 City Council Meet.
(see page 25)
It is almost thre~ years sinc~ the Boynton Beach
Municipal Golf Course b~gan ~o take shape. First, it was the
favorable straw ballot, after which, the l~nd was secured; then
came the feasibility study, hiring of architects, and finally
Eetting construction bids to complete th~ 27 hole golf course,
clubhouse, pro shop, and all the other ~enities that mak~ up a
go±f~Dompi~x.
Evemything is now in place penaing the sale of a
$~uO0,0o0 bond issue. However, it appears we will no~ complete'
the sale for several reasons°
i. This is a golf course rsvenue issue and is almost
impossible to insure. It i~ also very unique, I could not find
a s'i~iiar successful issue~
2. Tho bond iS~sue will not b~ ra~d~ so that in order
to b~ salabIe, the issue must have a much higher coupon than the
going rate.
3~ The current rate for high rated or insured bond~ is
between 12~ and lDO.~ I~ ts probable .this bond issue could only
sell at a rate of 15% or higher. 4.~'c~.~
4. Since th~ budget a~d fee structure is bassd on a
