It also proposes some funds be spent for the initial review and study of the proposed multi-purpose building. City Manager Cheney advised that the total dollars required, including the work on the multi-purpose building and the design of the tennis center, is $54,500,00. The assumption in the contract is that the total project will be constructed for less than $400,000.00 and, hopefully, less than $350,000.00, Mr. Cheney said. Some extras will be involved, as ~entified in the cover letter, which are standard in this ~kind of. contract, -f~r shr~eys and~analysis'that-wilt he separate from the'-$54,000~.00~%Mr.~.Cheney further advised, The contract has been discussed for two weeks.

Equipment Leasing - Requested by Vice Mayor Walter "Marty" Trauger Vice Mayor Trauger informed the Council that he talked to several more accounting firms concerning equipment leasing;and they felt it had merit providing the City got in on it initially with the initial part of the la~ because this will cut off funds from the Internal Revenue Service.

They will pick up that area and go all the way to 18th, - 7 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER it 1R81 The area from 18th to Congress is not as bad. Vice Mayor Trauger asked when Ocean was put in, Mr. Clark answered that he believed it was put in in 1969, and it needs resurfacing, Mr. Cheney said 18th was the worst. There are a lot of pot hole problems there, Councilman deLong said the specifications were increased in 1972, Vice Mayor Trauger asked if the revised list, dated November 30, 1981, totaling 27,760 feet, was where the City stands now, The reply was yes, Vice Mayor Trauger moved to approve the list dated November 30, 1981 with the deletions and additions, seconded by Councilman deLong.

City Manager Cheney explained that that was in the General Revenue Sharing Budget last year. He said it was the irrigatiOn system primarily in the Little League Park. Vice Mayor Trauger further questioned "Account No. 247-14 Reserve for Professional Services $12,000.00", which he did not recall, He asked what it would be used for. City Manager Cheney said it had been in there for a couple of years, and when the ~City finally considers the settlement with the various MICA reports, it will come back to the Council for approval before it is spent. Vice Mayor Trauger then asked about "Account No. 247-41 Reserve for Self Insurance $2,200.00"," He said he had asked Mr. Cheney to take a lOok at self insurance under the League of Florida Cities and asked if that was a part of it. City Manager Cheney replied that the City has had in the budget every year approximately $10,000.00 to cover the insurance payments paid out through deductibles. That would come out of this fund. Hopefully, it will build up to a small self insurance fund. The more that can be built up, the bigger the deductibles will be in the long run, Mr. Cheney informed the Council that a retired man from Travelers Insurance Company consented to make a study of the City~'s insurance program, looking at the various programs of the City, as~well as total self insurance, possibly with an umbrella similar to West Palm Beach and Palm Beach. Vice Mayor Trauger also questioned Account No. "247-1H Reserve - Wilson Pool $5,150.00." City Manager Cheney explained that the City is still holding some money on Wilson Pool, both County and City money. He said it has to do with a disagreement with the kind of gutter system which was put in the pool and approved by the State but not by the C~unty. ~he City is appealing and clarifying who has the right and po~er to approve the gutter system. The State has sai~~ they are. deductible syStems, and the County has said they are no~. Mr. CheneY said it was a system in the gutters that allows the water in the pool to be kept at about 2 inches below the level when the pool is not used.' When the pool is used, the water goes up to the lift. A letter is pending before the State on this issue, and the City has not made final payment and will not until the issue is resolved. The other one Vice Mayor Trauger was looking at was "Account No. 247- - 9 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING DECEMBER 1, 1981 1J Reserve for Landscaping $13,180,00. City Manager Cheney asked Charles Frederick, Director of Recreation and Parks, what it is for. Mr. Frederick said it was to convert the Little League Park into automatic irrigation. Vice Mayor Trauger thought the $4,425.00 mentioned before was to be for the irrigation system. City Manager Cheney said he was wrong, the $4,425.00 was for paving the shell rock area. Vice Mayor Trauger then a'sked~if there was any estimate as to when the cemetery would move ±nfo the Little League field, City Manager Cheney said that decision would be up to Council. Mr. Cheney said there is plenty of capacity in the cemetery for sometime to come. The day of transfer would be up to an agreement between the Cemetery Board and the City, Councilman deLOng moved that the 27 encumbered documents be approved and made a part of the public records. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Trau~er. Councilman deLong said he added the documents up, and they totaled $307,058.07 in available funds that was not shown in this fiscal year's budget, City Manager Cheney said they were shown as encumbered in last year~'s budget, A vote was taken on the motion, and the motion carried 4-0.

CC: Carmen Annunziato Perry Cessna Tereesa Padgett November 19, 1981 Wade M%ketlng Consultants, Inc. ¢00 South Federal tligh,,ay Bo/nton Beach, Florida 33~35 Mr. Carmen Annunziato City Planner City of Boynton Beach City Hall Boynton Beach, FL 33435 Re: The height of an omnidirectional polyfunctiona!, vertically disposed solar collector within the city limits of Boynton Beach. Dear Mr. Annunziato: So that we understand what we'are discussing the~olar Pole" is a patented device owned by the Independent Power Company, Inc., a Florida Corporation, whose.offices are now in Boynton Beach, Florida. The "SOlar Pole" has been developed to utilize solar energy in two separate ways', both of which are passive. One of the collection deviCes is designed to collect and store electrical energy directly from the sun. The second device is for the heating and storage of hot water from the sun. ' Thw two passive collectors on the pole consist of one which util- izes ~hOtO\rOlaic_ce~l_~s which convert the sun rays into twelve volts direct current which is stored in the most efficient com- mercial batteries possible. The second passive unit on the pole consists of black ~bsorbant aopper tubin_gr which will heat water above the o__ne hun~re~ deqree mark. This can be stored in a separ- ate highly insulated tank for use as needed or can be directly connected with hot water heaters, thereby lessening the use of the normal hot water heating unit instead of costly power company electricity that has been generated from fossil fuels. It has been estimated by the various energy informed people includ- ing the Florida Power and Light that 25~ ~r more of electricity used on a year round basis goes to the heating of water in homes. The first advantage of the solar power pole immediately becomes a home based power supplement that will significantly lower or. elim- inate the use of paid electricity for water heating. Mi'. Cart. _~Lnnunziato Page Two N~embe'r %,, 1981 The twelve volt direct current battery stored electricity has many uses including the operation of many appliances such as radios, television sets, radar ranges, et~., that now use one hu~ndred, and fifteen volt alternating current from a paid power .source. and is converted with a transformer to direct current to operate the appliances° Since the solar power pole is vertical in its concept there is a necessary need for height of at least ~orty-~ee~ in order to - obtain the maximum efficiency in its use of the sun. It is designed so it picks up rays f~om the sun at sunrise and all through the day till sunset~ unlike the many flat plain collectors that only collect sun and heat for a brief period as the sun passes them in their fixed position. The Independent Power Company is asking for-an exception within the city limits of Boynton Beach so that is is able to erect its solar power poles of forty feet anywhere in the City as a home or business power supplement. We would like to make the following statements in relation to the- City of Boynton Beach Code ordinances appendix A Zoning, Section 4 - General' Provisions F: ~ (a) Whether the. height exception will have an adverse effect ~n'the existing and proposed land uses. Answer: The solar pole is ~ot in conflict with:'~the existing land use. It is not as obvious nor as objectionable as existing power poles which occur in great frequency and ~ are cluttered with transformers and wires. (b) Whether the height exception is necessary. Answer: The height exception is critical to the function of the device. While many of the reasons for this remain pro- prie~ary, and until patent protection is secured, and cannot be disclosed~ the solar aspect of the collector is under patent protection~ Dr~ Gerald L. Pearson, inventor of the silicon photovolta~ cells on the device, and Dr. Arthur Schawlow,-~nve~o~-~ the optical laser and maser, have evaluated our pole and concur that our concept of a vertically disposed elevation of collector surface has merit. George P~ Lewett (Chief, Office of Energy - Related inventions, National Bureau of Standards) is involved in evaluating our findings. (c) Whether the height exception will sever!y reduce light and air in adjacent areas. Answer: No~ ~.~ ~-.~ ~. Carmen Annunziato N~vember 19', 1981 Page Three (d) Answer: · Whether the height exception will be a deterrent to the improvement or development of adjacent property in accord wi~h existing regulations. No. (e) Answer: Whether the height exception will adversely affect property values in adjacent areas. Our p61es are less obtrusive than existing methods of electrical transmission. '(f) Answer: ~ether the height exceptio~ will adversely influence living conditioms.in the neighborhood. No, living and economic conditions are improved through low voltage technology. (g) Answer: Whether the height exception will constitute a grant_of a special privilege to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare. No, the development of low voltage techology continues to develop for the pnblic good. (h) Answer: Whether sufficient evidence has been presented to justify the need for a height exception. There is an obvious need for energy conservation. Our device is self evident touching on ~his need. The City Council may, in connection with processing of application for exception hereunder, refer same to the Planning and Zoning Board for recommendation. Answer: We are working with the City in the spirit of energy conservation and evolving of codes relating to solar energy.
