MINUTES Regular City Council Meeting - January 15, 1980 Mr. Harmening moved adoption of the minutes of the regular meeting of January 15, 1980, seconded by Mr. deLong. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. -2- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 PUBLIC AUDIENCE Mayor Riscoe requested anyone who wishes to speak on any- thing on the agenda to please give their name to the City Clerk. She announced if anyone would like to speak on something not on the agenda to please come forward at this time and they will be allowed to speak. Mr. Samuel Wright, 318 N.E. 10th Avenue, Apartment A, repre- senting the Concerned Citizens Voters League of Boynton Beach, came before the Council. He told about the citizens being concerned regarding the incident resulting in the shooting of Ben Simmons. The residents have questioned why this fellow was shot by members of the Police Department. After questioning personnel, it was determined that they attempted to seriously injure Mr. Simmons. Everyone should be entitled to a judicial hearing, but persons are shot continuously in this community when making an attempt to flee from officers. They are under the assumption that an armed weapon should be fired only to protect another's life, safety and well being. They have invested power in the elected officials to be sure the City is run correctly. The police should be extremely cautious regarding bringing bodily harm to our citizens. We all should have a right to life providing we refrain from hurting other's safety. The Concerned Citizens Voters League of Boynton Beach would appreciate the Council seeing their message is relayed to the appropriate City personnel and they exercise their authority to make citizens feel as citizens. This will eliminate any unrest. If possible, they would like a response and if not at this time, later in writing. Mr. Cheney replied that he thought there had been fairly good, extensive and reasonable newspaper coverage since this incident took place a week ago. The incident took place about 5:30 on Thursday evening. Immediately, an investigation was started. The officer was suspended with pay. On Friday morning, the chief, in accordance with our policies established, appointed an investigative shooting board and they convened on Monday. They met on Monday and Tuesday to investiga~ this incident. The Board completed their report and made the report available on Wednesday. On Thursday, the matter was turned over to the State Attor- ney's office for their investigation. Yesterday and today, the grand jury investigated this matter and he understands we will have a report by the end of the week. This is a matter of great concern to him, the community, officers, victim, etc. We have taken no action and will not take any action other than suspension of the officer with pay until we receive~_ the grand jury report. He thinks the matter -3- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNT©N BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 has been handled expeditiously. It was handled immediately and openly and was reported in the press. He does not know what the basis is of the quotation that persons are shot continuously in the community. Mr. Wright clarified that we had a similar incident in 1978. Mr. Cheney replied that it is judgment whether this is continuously. He won't get into the question this evening whether it could have been pre- vented, but it is being investigated openly. Mrs. Dee Zibelli, Ocean Parkway, Chairman of the N.B.C.I.A., stated she is representing this organization to ask the City Council to review the proposal brought before the Council previously by Mayor Riscoe in reference to updating codes and ordinances in the City of Boynton Beach. It is great to have the Codes Enforcement Board and we have very conscientious inspectors, but with the codes and ordinances ten years old, it seems futile to try to enforce them. It was said they would take one at a time as they came up and review and revise them. If she has a problem 7 years from now, the ordinance may be 17 years old. She asks the Council to update the codes and ordinances with some teeth in them. This would be better along with the Codes Enforcement Board and inspectors. Mayor Riscoe clarified that she was not pushing to revise the codes, but wanted the charter revised. Mr. Fred DiSalle, 1316 S.W. 18th Street, member of the Board of Directors of the Municipal Golf Club and member of the Golf Course Advisory Committee, stated he finds it neces- sary to set the record straight in regard to the proposed municipal golf course. He will try to explain the relation- ship between the municipal golf club and golf course since these have been the subject of much confusion and criticism. The golf club is not a closed membership organization. He explained how the club has three purposes with each member paying annual dues of $1.00 to help defray expenses. Member- ship in the golf club is composed of men and women interested in applying for membership at the golf course. However, the golf club does not have any way to promise membership in the municipal golf course. The club dOes not have any official recognition. A public announcement will be made by the City Council regarding membership in the golf course. Mr. DiSalle then referred to it ~eing suggested that consid- eration be given to a 27 hole golf course and explained how considering our situation, it wa~ not practical. The concept was t'hought out very carefully. Detailed data will be given by the committee at a future Cit~ Council meeting. --4-- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Edward J. Runk, 501 West Ocean Avenue, referred to a barricade being placed at the end of West Ocean Avenue at 1-95 and told about there being at least five accidents in this area since the road has dead ended at 1-95. These accidents have all been caused because of improper wording that it is a dead end street. It is a very wide street and if a person is not acquainted with it, they assume it is a thru street. He has called people trying to get something done. He requests that something be done and has a couple suggestions. One would be the installation of flashing lights to warn the people there is something dangerous in front of them. There is only a small sign now that says it is a dead end street. One would be to put some warning bumps in the street. He then told about a trash heap accumulating at the end of this street. He is here to save a life. He asks to have an answer through the mail when something can be done. Mayor Riscoe informed him tha~ she is sure the City Manager has taken down the information and will get back to him very shortly. BIDS One (1) Front End Loader and Compaction Refuse Body and Chassis for 30-yard Compaction Body (Public Works) 1. Budget Transfer Request Mr. Cheney recommended this bid be granted to MTA Equipment Corporation for the sum of $73,288.20, with $68,000 being budgeted and $5,288.20 coming from the proceeds of the recent auction. This truck is similar to those we have purchased in the past, but the price has increased about 10% since the last purchase. Mr. Trauger questioned how many we have and Mr. Cheney informed him that we bought two in 1979 and one in 1.974 and one in 1973, and this will replace one of the older ones. Mr. Trauger moved that the City purchase the front end loader and compaction refuse body and chassis at the cost of $73,288.20 from MTA Equipment Corporation as set forth in the memorandum. Mr. Harmening seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Fencing - Boynton Beach Memorial Park Mr. Cheney referred to this being for fence to be built between High Point and the cemetery and stated originally the fence was to be built along the side and rear of High Point by the cemetery, but we discovered some problems re- garding ownership. At the moment, the Board and staff are -5- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 working with High Point and agreed now to build only a fence on the side going in a westerly direction. He recom- mends the bid we received be rejected and we accept the quote for material for fencing and we will install it with our own building maintenance crews. We request to be authorized to buy the mater±al from Bulldog Fence Company for $1,070.18 and install with our own forces. Mr. Harmening moved to grant the City Manager's request, seconded by Mr. Trauger. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. PUBLIC HEARING - 8:00 P. M. Abandonment Request Applicant: Request: John W. Knupp for Sunapee Enterprises, Inc. Abandon portion of alley east of Lots 21, 22, 23 and west of Lot 20, Block 4, Lake Addition (Rear of 924 N. Federal Highway) Mr. Annunziato informed the Council these first two public hearings are related in that it is a request on the part of the appliCant to have an alley abandoned and a small tract of land rezoned and the alley zoned for commercial purposes to tie all the land together for one development. At this point in time, it would be to sell palm trees. There is a pink one story building in disrepair lying to the rear of the alley. A public hearing was held by the Planning & Zoning Board and it was unanimously recommended that this be denied based on: 1. Objections from the public utili- ties and City staff; 2. It is not in the public interest to expand the C-4 via this abandonment; and 3. This all~y provides a buffer between the commercial uses on Federal Highway and the residential uses to the east. Mr. Vance stated the applicant is entitled to make a presen- -ration, but as long as the public utilities object, it cannot be abandoned from a legal standpoint. Mr. John W. Knupp referred to the property having been used as a sales office for some time and stated only during the past few years, that property has not been used as one chunk of property. The pink building was used for an office for the whole piec~ of property. Mr. Vance referred to this being in reference to the rezoning request and advised that right now, we are considering the abandonment request. Mr. Knupp stated in reference to the alley, they will take care of any cost involved in moving the utilities. Mr. Vance stated we have legal objections from public utilities using the alley and the alley cannot be abandoned by the City Council with those objections on the record. -6- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. deLong moved that this request be denied based upon the information submitted by the City Attorney. Mr. Harmening seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion .carried 5-0. Rezoning Requests Applicant: Location: Request: John W. Knupp for Sunapee Enterprises, Inc. Land adjacent to rear of 924 N. Federal Highway Rezone from R-lA to C-4 Mr. Annunziato informed the Council this is the companion application which requests the land on which the pink building is located be rezoned from single family to C-4 to accommo- date a sales office for the property lying to the west. A public hearing was held by the Planning & Zoning Board and the following comments were made: It would be detrimental to the residential area to the east, this land and the adja- cent alley form a buffer between the commercial uses on U.S. 1 and the residential area to the east, this application is not consistent with the adopted comprehensive plan, and this application consists of spot zoning. It was unanimously moved to deny this request with the motion made by Mr. Ryder and seconded by Mr. Winter. Mr. Harmening referred %o this request not being ~pra~t-~3i ~- with the alley not being abandoned and this is only a small strip and Mr. Vance agreed, but advised that technically this gentleman has the right to pursue his rezoning request. Mr. deLong added that he believes the applicant has stated he could possibly arrange to operate if the abandonment is not granted. Mr. John W. Knupp stated that as far as the rezoning of this particular p~e of property, he could still use it without the alley. Right now, the alley is not being used other than by the utilities and it would be no problem to leave the alley vacant for them to come and go. He would like to use the existing office to sell palm trees. In looking at the existing property, you cannot tell where the alley iso The alley apparently has not been used for some time. Mr. deLong moved to deny this rezoning based upon the recom- mendations from the Planning & Zoning Board. Mayor Riscoe asked if anyone in the audien~ wanted to speak in favor of this rezoning and received no response. She asked if anyone wanted to speak against this rezoning and received no re- sponse. Mr. Harmening then seconded the motion. No dis- cussion. Motion carried 5-0. -7- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Applicant: Location: Request: Peter B. Scott for ~ummit Investment Corp. 5.7 Acre Tract, north side of S.W. 23rd Avenue, bounded on west by right-of-way of 1-95 and on north and east by High Point Condominiums Rezone from R-1AAA to R-3 Mr. Cheney referred to receiving two letters from the appli- cant and read the most recent one requesting withdrawal of this application for rezoning of this land. Mr. Harmening moved to strike this from the agenda, seconded by Mr. Trauger. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Applicant: Location: Request: Sally Benson, Attorney for Melric, Inc. 2.75 Acre Tract, east of Las Palmas Park Subdivision and south of Lakeside Harbor Drive Rezone from R-1AA to PUD with LUI of 3.64 Mr. Cheney read a letter ~ceived from Ms. Benson today re- questing continuation of this rezoning request and explain- ing they are hopeful to coming to te~ms with the neighbors. He also talked %o Ms. Benson today and indicated it was the ounc~l s dec~slon whether to continue this or not. Ms. Sally Benson appeared before the Council and stated that she hesitates to ask for continuance in this matter; however, there have been several meetings in the last five days with the local residents, some of whom ar~ dissenters. They have outlined seven items which appear to feel they can work on and come to an is set for 3:00 P. M. this Saturday Club and they have sent letters to re feet and to the petitioners who signe sented at the Planning & Zoning Board optimistic they can work things out. Bailey, who spoke for the residents, time was needed to sit down with the be problems which they ~greement. A meeting t the Boynton Boat sidents within 400 ~ the petition pre- meeting. She is They met with Mr. ~nd he indicatedmore }ther residents who opposed this. Because of that, she is asking for this post- ponement. If the continuation is gra]~ted, they will proceed at the next meeting. Mr. Vance stated since this is an advertised public hearing, if a continuance is granted, it should be to a date certain, the next meeting or the following meeting, at 8:00 P. M. Mr. Harmening asked if this could be resolved by February 19 and Ms. Benson replied affirmatively as they will be prepared after the meeting on Saturday. -8- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mayor Riscoe stated what bothers her is that Ms. Benson called her and wanted a workshop with the City Council. There are procedures to be followed. She feels they have had the same opportunity as any other developer and this continuance should not be granted. She will vote against this. She will not set up a workshop for this. Ms. Benson replied that she understands it is the right for any petitioner to ask for a workshop and Mayor Riscoe replied that it would be setting a precedent. Ms. Benson clarified that she is asking for a continuance. Mayor Riscoe asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak in favor of this rezoning request and received no response. She asked if anyone wished to speak against it. Ms. Benson interrupted with asking if the matter for continuation was technically before the Council first and Mr. Vance agreed the Council should decide whether to grant the continuance before the people speak. Mayor Riscoe then ascertained that approximately four people wanted to speak in opposi- tion and announced she would take a motion regarding the continuance and then allow the people to speak. Mr. Harmening moved to grant this continuance until February 19, the next regular City Council meeting, at 8:00 P. M. Mr. Trauger seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mr. deLong stated in view of the fact we have already granted one con- tinuance, he doesn't believe we should deny this one. We should treat everyone fair and equal. Motion carried 3-2 with Mr. Strnad and Mayor Riscoe dissenting. Mayor Riscoe announced this hearing will be continued until February 19 and the people present who wish to speak will be heard at that time. Applicant: Location: Request: John Ewseychik, Agent, for Max Ambach 95 Acre Tract, bounded on west by North Congress Avenue, on east by LWDD Canal E-4, on south by LWDD L-21, and on north by LWDD Canal L-20 Rezone from R-1AAA to PUD with LUI of 3.6 Mr. Annunziato put the plan on display and advised this request is to rezone from R-1AAA to PUD with a land use intensity of 3.6. The applicant is requesting this 95 acre tract be rezoned providing for 425 units. The appli- cant is requesting approval for 94 single family lots, 134 duplex and townhouse lots, and 200 row townhouses to be sold in a fee simple manner. He pointed out the two recrea- tion areas provided on the plan and explained the recrea- tional amenities. This is proposed to be a private develop- ment with private roads constructed to City standards. -9- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Annunziato ascertained there were no questions concern- ing the location, use, provision of utilities, etc. He stated following the applicant's presentation, he will address the staff comments and the comments of the review agencies.

Mr. John Ewseychik, representing Max Ambach, the owner and developer of this proposed project, came before the Council. He advised the density is well within the new land use plan. he placement of density and units on the site was environmental fashion. This will be a luxury ith single family homes costing over $100,000. units will be similar to Mirror Lakes. The town- have a minimum of 16,000 square feet. Due to hey feel the single family homes will have an older age, the duplex area will be a semi- community, and the townhouses will be the family hen explained the recreation and landscape s planned. At this time, this plan reflects oad right-of-way dedication. He explained how stem segregated the housing areas.

The Planning & Zoning Board recom- mended appr¢~val excepting three items recommended by the staff. The applicant has agreed to participate in the School Boar( contribution and in the road improvements program. Al area still of concern is the Recreation Direc- tor's reque t that an active play area be provided on this site, ~hich was based on information from School Plant Plann.ng. It was suggested that a certain area involving sJ~x duplex lots remain in open space for active recreation. The applicant has argued there will not be many young children to use this facility and ample facili- ties were provided on site. It was felt the recreation area provided of approximately 10,000 square feet could not be properly used by young people owing to the fact it is located to the rear of residential units. -10- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Annunziato continued that the second area of contention was the development of Miner Road. Miner Road will run from 1-95 to Jog Road. It is projected to be an 108 ft. facility. The staff, through a recommendation from the County Traffic Engineer, recommended Miner Road be improved by this deve- loper and a tie from the development be provided on Miner Road. The Police Department addressed this access in case of emergency and.had a long discussion regarding this. The Police Department felt it would be important to have the second access. The overall staff comment was this plan be approved subject to the memos and poin~ brought out at the public hearing. Mr. deLong stated that Miner Road west of Seacrest Blvd. has not been cut through as yet. It is anticipated to be a four or six lane road. The request now is for this deve- loper to put in a two lane road from his development to Congress Avenue. According to his studies of this, this developer is paying a $95,000 impact fee which is supposed to be for roads. The staff also wants him to put in Miner Road. Mr. Annunziato agreed this was the recommendation of the Building Official and Traffic Engineer of Palm Beach County. Mr. deLong questioned why the cost of Miner Road wasn't included in the impact fee? This applicant is paying $95,000 as the impact fee and then is also being asked to put in the road at his expense. Mr. Annunziato clarified that the issue is providing a second access to the site, if a second access is deemed to be necessary. If a second access onto Miner Road is not constructed, then the deve- loper would not have to develop Miner Road. Mr. deLong stated with Miner Road not being cut through from Seacrest Blvd., he cannot understand putting it in from this develop- ment. Emergency vehicles will have to come from Congress Avenue since Miner Road is not extended from Seacrest Blvd. Mr. Harmening added that in effect, this road would go from nowhere to nowhere. Mr. Annunziato advised the intent was for High Ridge Country Club to construct Miner Road from High Ridge Road west to the canal. Perhaps the $95,000 could be applied to the bridge over the E4 Canal and there would be an east/west connection. Mr. deLong commented that these people have already contri- buted right-of-way on Congress Avenue, given a 50' lineal park along the side besides a recreation area and it looks like we are trying to get even more from the developer. -11- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Cheney clarified the question is not whether Miner Road should be built, but whether there should be a second access to this development. If the Council doesn't feel there should be a second access, then Miner Road is not valid. Mr. deLong commented that he couldn't see the second access being used as they would have to pass the other one on Con- gress Avenue and go around the corner to get to it. Mr. Gene Moore, attorney representing Max Ambach, came before the Council and commended the staff for their efforts in getting Motorola to locate here. Basically this development is to have some place to house the employees of Motorola. This is immediately adjacent to the Motorola tract. It is a well planned development with a perfect mix of single homes, duplexes and townhouses. Basically the Planning & Zoning Board spent much time going over this and came up with a favorable recommendation. They have agreed to con- tribute what was computed by the County as their fair share impact on the County road system and think it is unfair to say they must pave another County road at their expense. This road will go from nowhere to nowhere. He thinks it is unfair. They are paying their share and the County will allocate funds for the road system. Mr. Moore referred to the recreation area and stated an additional request has been made that six prime lots be used for a frisbee field. He thinks they have given more than enough for the recreation area and have met the require- ments of the statute. He thinks this request is unfair and unreasonable. The ordinance requires the developer to contribute the area to the citizens, but to tell him how to utilize the area is too much. These additional costs will be passed onto the buyers and the people will not be able to afford the houses. Mr. Moore then referred to asking for one entrance for secur- ity purposes and stated the police withdrew their recommen- dation for a back entrance. The County did not request this of other developments in the County and this is a double standard. He requests the Council to accept the recommenda- tion of the Planning & Zoning Board. Mr. Strnad stated that he is very pleased to see our Planning and Building Departments looking out for our City. He thinks whatever we can get from a developer is a benefit to the rest of the people in the City. As far as recreation area, something must be provided for the future. He does not think we should ignore the suggestions of the Recreation Department. If the proper facilities are not within the development, they will use our other areas and put a burden upon them. He would like to see the recom- mendation of the Recreation Department adhered to. -12- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. deLong asked if there was any possible chance to recon- cile this difference with the Recreation Department and Mr. Ewseychik replied that he can understand the concerns every Recreation Department has. He explained how recreation in the development was a good marketing tool and stated they do want the proper recreation complex. In this particular development, they have exceeded the requirements. If they thought the market was trending towards an open park, it would be included; however, from their experience it is not important. They are dedicating above what is required. 3½ acres were required and they are dedicating five acres. Mr. deLong commented th be used for high priced worrying about the peop playground. Mr. Ewseyc prefer lots bordering r. Mr. Trauger referred to and questioned what thi informed him that a cop School Plant Planning, the number of bedrooms additional information the number of anticipat mation, School Plant Pi~ ber by 30. Mr. Vance clarified tha~ ~t the six lots referred to could homes; however, Mr. Frederick is Le who will live adjacent to the ~ik informed him that some people ~creation facilities. the number of children projected was based upon and Mr. Annunziato of the master plan was sent to ~ut it was not definitive regarding )er unit. The applicant provided 2o School Plant Planning regarding ~d bedrooms and based on that infor- nning has revised downward the num- the requirements for the remainder of the code do not appl~ in this situation. The require- ments can be different 9r greater regarding the recreation areas if the City Council so desires. Mr. Strnad moved to accept/ this PUD plat with the recommenda- tion of the Recreation ~epartment for the additional recrea- tion facilities, but not including an exit on Miner Road or improvement to it there~n. Mr. Trauger submitted an amend- ment that the Recreation Department's lot size be granted, but the developer be given the choice to locate the same size site within that a~ea. Additional acreage would be provided as requested b' 'the Recreation Department, but the developer would be 'iven the opportunity to locate it within the confines of ~he entire site. Mr. deLong seconded the amendment. Mr. Str~ the Recreation Director was originally discusse¢ lng, it was indicated t~ consider alternate sites ideal site from the plax .ad asked if this was agreeable to and Mr. Frederick replied when this at the Technical Review Board meet- is was a suggested site and we would · He just thought this would be an layout. -13- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Vance referred to one item needing to be solved and sug- gested possibly continuing this until the next meeting so a solution could be reached. Mr. Moore objected and advised they have an option which must be exercised tomorrow morning. Mr' Vance referred to possibly t~is being settled within a half hour and Mr. Mo~re replied that according to Mr. Frederick, the site is open. Mr. Frederick clarified that the primary concern is for the youngsters to have an area in which to play off the street. Mr. deLong stated that Councilman Trauger's amendment will give them an opportunity to reconcile any differences. Mr. Harmening then seconded the original motion. Mr. Vance stated rather than having a floating amount, he suggests this be tabled for a half hour or 45 minutes so possibly a specific area can be a~reed upon and Mr. Annunziato replied that he did not think this was a pro- blem. It can be worked out with the staff and developer. The developer is to locate on the site a play area of this specific size. Mayor Riscoe called for a vote on the amendment and the vote was 5-0 in favor. Mr. Cheney stated the motion should include the developer's agreement to the various staff comments and Mr. Ewseychik replied that he agrees with all the staff comments with the exception of the Miner Road request. Mr. Vance clarified that the approximate amount of acreage contained in the six lots requested would be for the additional park area and Mr. Ewseychik agreed.. Mr. Trauger moved the acceptance of this rezoning request for Max Ambach covering the 95 acre tract bounded on the west by North Congress Avenue, on the east by LWDD Canal E-4, on the south by LWDD L-21, and on the north by LWDD Canal L-20, subject to staff comments and deleting the Miner Road requirement. Mr. Strnad seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. BIDS (Continued) One 2-Ton Truck, Cab-Chassis (Sanitation) Mr. Cheney informed the Council that one bid was received from A1 Packer Ford for the sum of $15,505.83. We can purchase a truck from the state bid for $10~036.95 and get a scow body added for $4,200, which would be a total cost of $14,236.95. He recommends rejecting the one bid received and proceeding with the item which would be less expensive at the state bid of $10,036.95 plus $4,200 to add a scow body from Advance Fabricators. -14- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Trauger moved to reject the bid as proposed and accept the state bid in the amount of $10,036.95 with the body added by Advance Fabricators at a cost of $4,200 for the total amount of $14,236.95 as stated in the memo. Mr. deLong seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. SITE DEVELOPMENT PLANS Western Steer Family Steak House Submitted by Walter Kardash, c/o WBC Corporation Construct 260 seat Restaurant, S.E. 28th Circle and U.S. #1 Mr. deLong referred to the plans being displayed for the audience to see and suggested that the City provide a projec- tor so the plans can be shown on the screen to the audience. Mr. Cheney informed him that this is being looked into. Mr. Annunziato then explained the location of this proposed restaurant and explained the application provides for the construction of a 260 seat restaurant with landscaping, parking, dumpster facility, etc. He pointed out the loca- tion of the two accesses to the site. The Planning & Zoning Board reviewed this application and it was unanimously recom- mended the site plan be approved subject to staff comments. Mr. Annunziato read the memo submitted by the Building Official noting that sidewalks are required on S.E. 28th Circle and down spouts on the north side of the building must flow into the storm system designed for this project and the water mus~ be retained on site. He read the Fire Marshal's comment to provide a fire hydrant on the west side of South Federal Highway in front of this location. The Police Dept. has noted that sidewalks and curbs are required on S.E. 28th Circle. He has recommended the wall be ex- tended along the north property line to the building, the dumpster be relocated to the southwest corner, and a D~O.T. permit is required for curb-cut on Federal Highway. He explained the location recommended for the wall. Also, the dumpster recommendation was countered by the recommen- dation of the Community Appearance Board which felt the location on the plan was satisfactory. The overall staff comment is this be approved subject to comments. Mr. deLong asked if the wall would be a decorative masonry wall and Mr. Annunziato replied affirmatively. Mr. deLong asked if the owners had a choice as to the type of fence or wall and Mr. Annunziato replied negatively as it must be a decorative masonry wall according to the ordinance. -15- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. deLong referred to.the wooden fence at Los Mangos and how it looked a mess and ~ated that it is only a question of time before it falls apart. Mr. Annunziato informed him that this was not a required wall and Mr. Cheney added this was put in along 23rd Avenue as a mechanism to prevent sand blowing across 23rd Avenue. We are now asking the owner of the dirt lot to do something to keep the dirt from flying in a southerly di- rection. This particular fence is now owned by the owner of the lot. Mr. Annunziato advised there is one additional issue which must be resolved. The power line was shown north of the north property line on the survey submitted; however when that location was field checked, it was found to be much closer and touching the north property line. The power line was placed there many years ago without an easement. As proposed, this building cannot be constructed in this location with the power line facility as it exists. One potential resolution would be to change the horizontal facility in the power line to a vertical facility and re- quire a 5' easement. This apparently would result in the necessity to take 1' off the building or reduce the land- scaping by 1' The landscaping is marginal and he thinks any reduction should be from the building. Mr. Walter Kardash added that the power line presently begins on Federal Highway about 2½ feet north of the property line and ends up at the property line. He told about being in the process of working out an arrangement with FPL, but it is not resolved at this point. Mr. Vance suggested this be continued until there is a firm solution on the easement situation and asked if there was any reason why the applicant could not live with a continuance until February 19 to permit a final solution of this problem and Mr. Kardash replied they could live with this. Mr. deLong moved to lay this item on the table until February 19 upon the advice of the attorney, seconded by Mr. Harmening. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Boynton Lakes Plat 1 Request of Allan J. Pekor, Vice President, F & R Builders, for one-year extension for posting bond and recording of Final Plat (to February 9, 1981) Mr. Cheney recommended this extension be granted. He added that part of the reason for this is the entire utility sit- uation on Congress Avenue is being resolved. It makes sense from the City's point of view and all the developers in the area to grant this extension. -16- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Harmening moved to grant the extension of one year to Allan J. Pekor, Vice President of F & R Builders, to Feb- ruary 9, 1981, for the filing of the final plat. Mr. Trauger seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Mariner's Way, submitted by Robert Hamilton, President Preliminary Plat to provide for construction of 32 townhouse units - Location: East of N.E. 12th Avenue (Between U.S. #1 and Intracoastal) Mr. Annunzia~o referred to this preliminary plat being ap- proved by the Council previously and advised that it has been resubmitted with no major changes to the plan. It provides for the construction of 32 townhouses with groups not exceeding eight. He explained the location on the canal. The most appropriate concern is setting the recreation fee since no recreation facilities are provided on the site. Based on the land value submitted by the applicant and accepted by the Planning & Zoning Board, it should be set at $68,587.11 per acre. Mr. Bob Hamilton appeared before the Council. Mr. Vance asked if he was familiar with the staff comments and con- curred and Mr. Hamilton replied affirmatively. Mr. Vance asked if he concurred with the recreation fee of $68,587.11 and agrees to pay same and Mr. Hamilton replied that he con- curs that it is a charge, he concurs he cannot do business without paying the charge and will pay the charge. The cost will be passed onto the consumer. Mr. Vance asked if he was familiar with the ten items listed in the memo from Tom Clark and Mr. Hamilton replied affirmatively. Mr. Annunziato advised that these items have been incorporated into the plat. Mr. Trauger moved to approve the plat plan for Mariner's Way subject to the staff comments, seconded by Mr. deLong. Under discussion, Mr. Strnad questioned when this recrea- tion amount gets paid and Mr. Annunziato informed him the money is payable upon the final platting or bonded and is payable upon the issuance of the first certificate of occu- pancy. Motion carried 5-0.

Essen- tially it is acceptable and does comply with the last pre- sentation to-the City Council. Mr. Cheney added that he agrees with the City Attorney and the agreement does comply. This particular agreement is for 150 acres. It is for 99 years. It does provide, as we discussed, the requirement that we do a feasibility study and look into bonding and approve bonds within 2½ years from the date of this agreement. Provisions are included re- garding play, greens fee, advisory committee, percentage of players as well as other legal terms. From the basis of past discussions, it is his recommendation this is consis- tent with what we talked about and he recommends approving. He assumes it will be on the County Commission agenda a week from today. Mr. Cheney continued that we did agree at the last meeting that he would proceed in attempting to identify some manage- ment and feasibility consultants. He has identified three whom he feels are capable. He has a proposal from one, will be meeting with another this week, and expects a proposal from the third in the mail. He had hoped it would be com- pleted by now,· but will have a proposal on February 19. At that time, a decision can be made whether-to proceed with the proposal. Mr. Vance stated if the Council desires to approve the agreement, the motion should authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement. Mr. deLong so moved, seconded by Mr. Harmening. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Mr. Cheney then clarified that several weeks ago, the Plan- ning & Zoning Board approved a country club with 250 members and at that time, it was reported the memberships were sold out. The next morning the newspaper reported that the coun- try club memberships were all sold out and people thought this pertained to memberships for the municipal golf course. However, that article was about a different golf course. Mr. deLong added that the membership at this club was at a cost of $10,000. At this time, Mayor Riscoe called a five minute recess. She reconvened the meeting at 9:40 P. M. -21- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Resolutions Proposed Resolution No. 80-C - Re: Authorizing Execution of Water Supply Agreement with Briny Breezes Mr.-Vance read proposed Resolution No. 80-C by title.

Other COnsider Renewal of Lease Agreement Between the City and Thomas E. and Linda L. Coffey Regarding Access to City Landfill Area Mr. Vance referred to this being a yearly event to obtain access to the dump site and advised a payment of $1,200 is to be forwarded to the lessor in order to exercise our three year option. Mr. Harmening moved to direct the City Manager to make a direct payment requisition in the amount of $1,200 from account No. 001-341-534-40.9E for the landfill lease agree- ment. Mr. deLong seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. -20- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Consider Employing Special Legal Consultant Services for Employees/Labor Relations Mr. Vance referred to submitting a packet consisting of a letter from Mr. Peter J. Hurtgen with information describ- ing the law firm, a memo he sent to the City Council and a memo from Mr. Cheney and advised that this is a very spec- ialized area. Both the City Manager and he are recommend- ing that we retain these gentlemen on an as-called basis for specialized backup in this area. Mr. Harmening moved to grant the request of the City Manager and City Attorney and consider employing special legal con- sultant services in the area of employees/labor relations and particularly Mr. Peter J. Hurtgen from the firm of Seyfarth, Shaw, Fairweather, & Geraldson. Mr. deLong seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Mr. William McCarty, 1974 Campanelli Blvd., questioned what the fee was on this as-called basis and Mr. Vance informed him it will not be a set fee, but the hourly rate will vary from $50 to $85 depending on which member of the firm we use. Consider Approval of Easements for Rollyson Property Mr. Vance stated the easements are in the proper form. The only action is acceptance by the City Council with instruc- tions to the City Clerk to record the easements. Mr. Trauger so moved, seconded by Mr. deLong. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. OLD BUSINESS Report on Bike Path Progress - Plans and Recommendations Mr. Cheney referred to providing a memo covering the status of the bike paths and stated there is a map showing the proposed bikeway system. Mr. Frederick explained the proPosed system. He then ex- plained that because of a lack of funding from the County, the north section along Seacrest Blvd. will be a shared roadway system. Also, another major section not included was the section on South Congress Avenue and at this point, there is no way to get to the 55 acres unless there is alternative funding. Basically there are connection points to the shopping centers, schools and recreation areas. Mr. Trauger asked if there was a route to the beach and Mr. Frederick replied affirmatively and pointed out the section to A1A. -22- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Cheney then told about a detailed sign plan and advised we will be going out to bid for this signing. We are looking. at this bikeway system as an advisory system with advising people through signing what ties together to get from one end of the City to the other. We are not recommending a specified legal designation of any bike route until we study our legal obligation. Mr. Trauger commended the staff for submitting such a detailed report. He feels bike paths are a viable alter- native to the gas crunch. With the modifications recommended, he believes they will be quite acceptable. He recommends getting on with the bidding for the signs so they can be installed before summer to have a designated series of bike paths and sideWalks. He agrees with the plan as proposed. Mr. Trauger added that Mr. Morley said there is still about $20,000 left in County funds and since we did not have an alternative for where the bridge was along 'Congress Ave., possibly we can find some other area for the funds. Mr. Cheney suggested that possibly we work with Ocean Ridge to use that money in Ocean Ridge for a route to the beach. Mr. Trauger moved to accept the plan as presented on the bike paths. Mr. Strnad seconded the motion. No discus- sion. Motion carried 5-0. Report on Beach Program - Status and Recommendations for Impl~ementation Mr. Cheney stated we have been authorized by the City Council to proceed with the advertising requirements necessary to select a beach consultant. We have a list of the beach consultants and will be putting this out before the week is over. He has six people to write to who have done some work in beach erosion and other beach projects. Also, next week there is a meeting on February 13 at Ocean Ridge per- taining to erosion problems along the ocean. We will proceed with the consultant selection process. Mr. deLong stated that he thinks it is about time we did justice to the people and bulldozed down the rodent infested shower rooms and snack bar. He thinks it would be logical to erect something on the west side of the upper level about in the center. In looking over the datagram from the Florida League of Cities, they have a notice to make application for funds by April 1 and claim they have a current proposition available to local governments on a 50/50 matching basis for recreation programs. He then read the program outlined. -23- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. deLong continued that he believes this would be an opportune time to bulldoze down the stuff we have there and build something presentable to the City's benefit. He would like to go there with the City Manager and Recrea- tion Director to give them an idea of what is on his mind regarding the building. He does not think we will have any problems with Ocean Ridge. Mr. Trauger stated that he be- lieves there is a zoning problem with building and Mr. deLong replied that he did not think so and suggested taking a shot at it. Mr. Cheney stated one of the concepts in past consideration is to take a look at the entire area including the building. He thinks this is consistent with the direction we are going. He will research that money available. Every time we have inquired about this money, we always find there are other kinds of programs. Mr. deLong stated he would like with the Council's permis- sion to journey to the beach with Mr. Cheney and Mr. Frederick at their convenience to get an idea of what would be appropriate. Mr. Harmening seconded this as a motion. No discussion.. Motion carried 5-0. Fire Station Traffic Signals - Authorization to Spend from Revenue Sharing Funds Mr. Cheney advised this has to do with final approval of funds for the fire station signals. We were talking about $40,000, but the total cost is $35,513 and we agreed to take the additional above $20,000 from the reserve federal revenue sharing funds. He recommends approval of the trans- fer of money from the revenue sharing reserve account in the amount of $15,513, to go with the $20,000 we already have. Mr. Harmening moved to accept the City Manager's recommen- dation and transfer the amount of $15,513 from the revenue sharing reserve account to traffic signals. Mr. deLong seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Approval of Change Order No. 1 - Paul N. Howard Company, Force Main Contract (75% EPA, 25% City), Project 626-681-04-3 Mr. Cheney referred to this having to do with the waste water facility and advised that it is change order No. 1 for the Paul N. Howard Company. It will formalize matters which have already taken place in the field. It covers a number of things which have come up during construction of -24- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 the water line and lift stations. The items are listed for material, additional valves, additional joint tees, addi- tional paving, etc. which was not included in the original contract. Mr. Swan is present to talk about this in detail if you desire. He and Mr. Cessna recommend the Council approve this change order and Russell & Axon will take the necessary steps to obtain EPA approval. Mr. Harmening questioned if EPA would refund the sleeve done by Hunter's Run for $2,000 and Mr. Swan replied affirmatively and added there will be no question that the items will be EPA eligible. Mr. Harmening moved to approve change order No. 1 for the Paul N. Howard Company, seconded by Mr. deLong. No dis- cussion. Motion carried 5-0. Report on Wilson Pool Renovation Status Mr. Cheney referred to having problems with Wilson Pool functioning and stated we had an engineering study done and must address some gutter problems and particularly the filter system. We discovered to do.the job right, we might want to consider stainless steel gutters. We are talking in the range of $180,000 to $200,000. The Council asked if we could find some funds somewhere. He proceeded to Community Development and after many meetings, we do have approval to use $200,000 of Community Development money. This includes a commitment of $10,000 on our part which is in the budget. What he is proposing tonight, is the Council authorize the execution of the contract with the engineer for $21,000 which includes a field inspection afterwards. This will give us the design for the filter system and alternate designs for both kinds of gutter systems. We can then go to bid with the alternates. This means about $3,000 extra in design work over and above the design for the stainless steel system. It means we will have all the work ready for both alternates for bidding and at the time of bidding, we can make a decision which way to go. By having both designs, we know where we stand when we receive the bid prices. Mr. Cheney stated the recommendation is to be authorized to execute the agreement with the County, Community Development, and to execute the contract with the design engineer and the engineer to move as expeditiously as possible to get this out to bid. Mr. Trauger moved to accept the City Mana- ger's recommendation and also to give this information in great detail to the reporters. Mr. Harmening seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. -25- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Harmening asked if there was any projected time when the pool would be opened and Mr. Frederick replied that he would heSitate to say anything other than late summer at the earli- est. Mr. Cheney added that because we are saving some oper- ating funds with the pool not being open, we will explore the possibility of busing to the Atlantic Pool. Report on Drainage Study Mr. Cheney referred to submitting a report and summarized that a major effort could be made to solve many of the drain- age problems with the institution of swale systems properly designed throughout the City. A map has been submitted iden- tifying how this would fit in. This is the most environmen- tally acceptable program. It has a much better opportunity to get accepted and is less expensive than underground pipes. The map shows in great detail the capacity for drainage, runoff, etc. Mr. Cheney stated the drainage problem at Flamingo and Seacrest Blvd. is a product of some twelve acres of land with water not being properly handled several blocks away. He is suggesting the answer should be found throughout the entire neighborhood. There are other suggestions for limited french drain construction, some pipes in some limited areas, etc. This is the result of the workshop we had som~ weeks ago. The estimate for the Flamingo and Seacrest Blvd. project is $28,000. The total cost of the projects listed based on a less detailed analysis is $222,000, but the total may be about $300,000. It is up to the Council how much they want to discuss tonight and Mr. Clark and Mr. FlUshing are present. Mr. Harmening suggested that a workshop meeting be held for this purpose and the Council members expressed agreement. After discussion, it was agreed to hold a workshop meeting on Tuesday, February 12, at 7:00 P. M. in the Building Department conference room. Mr. deLong requested that a memo be sent out regarding this. Request Consideration and Approval for Agreement with County Relative to the Cooperative Library System Mr. Cheney referred to previously getting $26,000 from the County Library System and stated this year, we did not get anything but a promise there might be some money in this year's b~dget. He has been working with the County Director towards a cooperative system. We are one of the few towns staying pith the system. We indicated sometime ago we might be able ko work out some service from the County, particularly -26- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 With the leased book program. The County Director indicated they could put $50,000 to such a program. The participating cities would contribute to the amount over $50,000. We re- ferred to half the year being over and suggested they give $25,000 now. The Director suggested $20,000 and they would buy the books for us. Mrs. Farace has advised that this will probably produce about $25,000 worth of service to us, but creates a cooperative library system and he explained. What we get is our share of $30,000 of leased books, our share of $20,000 of County purchasing power, and at the end of the year, our share of the additional money unspent in the year's budget based on the share of use between the library's district people using our library and our people using the library districts. We are also showing we will provide service for the County. We will get the use of the 16MM library films and the opportunity to purchase those films. We have a truly cooperative approach now. He would like t~ City Council to consider approving this tonight because two or three other cities have approved it and hopefully the County Commission will vote on it next Tues- day. Mr. Harmening moved that the City Council approve the library agreement with Palm Beach County as set forth in the library agreement and the proper people be authorized to sign the agreement. Mr. Strnad seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mr. Cheney added that the Library Advisory Board had a spec- ial meeting and reviewed this and recommended approval. Motion carried 5-0. NEW BUSINESS Granting of Easements to Florida Power & Light Co., Overhead Transmission Lines, New & Old Boynton Roads (Tabled) Mr. Harmening moved to take this from the table, seconded by Mr. deLong. Motion carried 5-0. Mr. Cheney informed the Council that the representative from Florida Power & Light Co. is present prepared to answer any questions. Mr. Harmening referred to previously the ques- tion being the location of the combination transmission lines and the drawing submitted shows it will be at the edge. Mr. Cheney added that the easement document indicates they will keep their wires 34' above grade and Mr. Cessna has indi- cated this is no problem for us to do the service we need in that lift station because the wires are high enough. It is part of the easement that the wires must be that height. MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Harmening moved that both easements be granted, seconded by Mr. Trauger. Mr. Vance requested the motion to include the authorization for the proper officials to sign the con- sent agreement. He added that this agreement consents to Florida Power & Light Co. using the easements provided they do certain things as set forth on page 2. Mr. Harmening withdrew his motion andMr. Trauger withdrew his second. Mr. Harmening moved that these easements be granted subject to the signing of this consent agreement by Florida Power & Light Co. and the City of Boynton Beach for these two ease- ments. Mr. Trauger seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Request from Boynton Beach Little League Association Mr. Cheney stated he submitted a request from the Boynton Beach Little League Association requesting they be allowed to build a building. Mr. deLong moved to grant this request, but eliminate financial assistance, seconded by Mr. Trauger. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Consider Recommendation of Planning & Zoning Board - Re: Rezoning Application in the County from Grimes Manufacturing Company, Lake Ida Area Mr. Annunziato informed the Council that the application which is pending with the County Commission is to rezone several acres of the Grimes site from CG and single family to light industrial. The issue doesn't really concern what is on the ground right now. The issue is the change in zoning designation. The building and facilities as they exist today are legal, but non-conforming. With this re- quest, there is the potential for additional development of that site beyond the physical facilities there now. There is approximately three acres of vacant land beyond the buildings which could be developed for industrial pur- poses. There is nothing to guarantee the Grimes operation wouldn't be sold or additional development occur. Access to the site is from Mission Hill Blvd. to Diane Drive or from Lake Drive to 22nd Street. Looking to the future, the question is whether industrial development is compati- ble with the Lake Ida development. The Planning & Zoning Board felt, based on his recommendation, perhaps the City Council should take a position in this request. Mr. deLong asked if this would require a resolution to be passed by the City Council to be forwarded to the County and Mr. Vance replied negatively, but it can be in the form of a motion stating the City's position and opposition with a certified copy of the motion forwarded. Mr. Cheney added that if they feel strongly about it, the City Planner could be instructed to appear at the hearing and make a statement. -28- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Harmening commented that to his knOwledge, we have not crossed this bridge before but all the points brought up are pretty pertinent. Grimes has been a very good neighbor and very civic minded through the years. However, businesses do have the tendency to change ownership and the new owners may not have the same outlook. The potential is there, but on the other hand this is not in the City. He has a little reluctance to step into it. Mayor Riscoe added that she has a big reluctance to step into this. Mr. deLong asked if they use the City streets and Mr. Harmening replied that he believes they mostly travel through Delray Beach and Mr. Trauger added that Mission Hill Blvd. is used very rarely. Mr. Trauger continued that he agrees with Mr. Annunziato and there is fear. The company has now been changed from their original concept and is owned by another corporation. The site could be deVeloped further. It is no longer strictly in the Grimes purview. Mr. deLong stated it is nice to remember the civic virtures of the past, but if it is annoying people, he doesn't think we should sit idly by. Mr. deLong moved to approve the recommendation of the City Planner based upon his reasons given. Mr. Harmening seconded the motion and included the instruction that Mr. Annunziato appear at the hearing. Mr. deLong clarified the motion is to voice our objections to this rezoning application from Grimes and direct the City Planner to attend the public hearing of the County. No discussion. Motion carried 4-1 with Mayor Riscoe dissenting. Request Confirmation of Appointment of Finance Director Including an Ordinance and Resolution to Separate the Data Processing Activities from the Finance Department Mr. Cheney stated that pending confirmation by the Council, which he is requesting now, he will appoint Grady Walter Swan as Finance Director for the City of Boynton Beach. Mr. Grady Swan is currently Chief Accountant in the Finance Office in West Palm Beach and has held that position since 1975. Prior to that, he held the position of Internal Auditor in West Palm Beach. Mr. Swan's college work in- cluded a major in Accounting and a minor in Business and this formal education combined with his several years of responsible experience in the public sector in West Palm Beach provides, he believes, a clear balance for the needs of the Finance Director position in the City of Boynton Beach. -29- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL M~ETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Cheney continued that the responsibilities of the Finance Director for the City include the fiscal management of the various aspects of the City administration and constitutes a sophisticated process which is responsible for addressing the financial concerns of the City. Under the direction of the City Manager, Mr. Swan will be responsible for, among other things, administration of the Department and its em- ployees, accounting, financial reporting and internal audit- ing, cash control and account consolidation, cash investment, intergration of the Finance Department's activities with the capabilities of the City's Data Processing System, asset control, conformance with accepted National Standards for Accounting and Reporting, advice on budgeting, Federal Fund and Grant administration, assistance in the City's bonding program, and continual fund analysis and projects for National Control. It is anticipated that Mr. Swan will begin work with the City in about thirty days. Mr. Cheney continued that he is requesting the City Council concur with the administrative re-organization that will place the City Data Processing activities into a separate department directly under the City Manager, which means sepa- rating Data Processing Control from the City 'Finance Depart- ment. With this recommendation, he is appointing, with Council concurrence, Michael Munro as Director of Data Pro- cessing and asking that appropriate ordinances and resolu- tions making the administrative change and creating the position be passed by the Council. He is recommending this change because it is his firm conviction that Data Processing should be administratively located so that it clearly serves each department of the City as needed and not, by its admini- strative structure, be located in one department and tend to suggest that any one department has greater use and service from data processing capabilities than any other department. The Data Processing System that Boynton Beach has is capable, through on-line terminals, to serve each department through terminals located in their departments and this is the direc- tion in which the City program will continue to go. Placing the Data Processing Department equal with all other depart- ments facilitates decision making as to the priorities of use of the services of this increasingly important activity. Mr. Cheney then read proposed Ordinance No. 80-7 by title and proposed Resolution No. 80-E by title. Mr. Harmening moved the adoption of Ordinance No. 80-7 on first reading, seconded by Mr. Trauger. Mr. deLong suggested moving first to accept the recommendation of the City Manager and then adopting the ordinance and resolution and Mr. Vance replied that he doesn't think there is any preference. Mr. deLong qualified that his vote in favor is based upon the recommendation of the City Manager. Motion carried 5-0. -30- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Harmening moved the adoption of Resolution No. 80-E, seconded by Mr. Trauger. Mr. deLong qualified that his vote in favor is based upon the recommendation of the City Mana- ger. Motion carried 5-0. Mr. Harmening moved to accept the City Manager's recommenda- tion regarding the new Finance Director and appointment of Michael Munro as Data Processing Director. Mr. deLong seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Consider Uncontrolled Growth in our City Mr. Strnad stated that he is very much concerned about the rapid growth in this City. As he said at the first meeting this year, this is his greatest concern. We have developers just rushing into our City. His queStion is how much more can we support? How .many more individuals can come in here without us having to expand our facilities such as water, sewer, garbage, police, fire, etc.? The beach is being strained to over-capacity. The roads, stores, etc. are being taxed to over-capacity. He thinks it is time to take a hard look and just not say come on down. He doesn't want anybody to get the idea he is against progress as he is not, but he is being cautious about how fast we are growing. He thinks we should take a hard look and have our Director of Utilities check into the amount of service we can provide for these people. He has never seen such growth in any place he has lived as .he has seen here in the past couple years. He has been here 20 years and the past two to three years has been out of the question with growth. He is asking the Council to think this over and see if there is some way we can arrive at a sensible amount of people to come into this City without over-burdening our facilities. The sewer plant will soon be up to capacity, more well fields are needed to supply water, etc. for the people coming in. He is putting this out for thought as to what we can do to slow this down. He then explained how we should get what we can from the developers for the benefit of the City and citizens. ADMINISTRATIVE Water & Sewer Connection for Gulfstream Professional Center (Tabled) Mr. Trauger moved to take this from the table, seconded by Mr. deLong. Motion carried 5-0. Mr. Cheney referred to having conversations with the owner of this land and advised that the owner has indicated his desire to proceed with annexation procedures. He requests the Council to authorize him to proceed with the owner on -31- MINUTES- REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 annexation. Mr. Vance stated in view of this report by the City Manager, it might be proper to postpone this item until the City Manager feels it is appropriate to bring this back on the agenda. Mr. Strnad moved to instruct the City Manager to negotiate with the proper authorities to get annexation moving on this property and strike this request from the agenda. Mr. Trauger seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Motorola - DER/Palm Beach County Backfill, Canal L-22, Construct Outfalls Canal E-4, both LWDD Mr. Cheney informed the Council that as a part of the con- tinuing Motorola approval procedure, there is an application to the South Florida Water Management District along with a permit application appraisal and an application to the Dept. of Army/Florida Department of Environmental Regulations for activities and waters in the State of Florida. It is re- quested that the Council review these two applications and read into the record the biological and water quality assess- ment that has been made by the Department of Environmental Regulations, and approve the two applications for permit. Mr. Cheney then read the following Biological and Water Quality Assessment noted on the Permit Application Apprai- sal: A. Description of proposed project and construction techniques. Quantify area of project which extends into waters of the state (including the submerged lands of those waters and the transitional zone'of the submerged land) as defined in Section 17-4.02 and Section 17'4.28, Florida Administrative Code. B. Biophysical features of general area. Include comments concerning extent of development of ad- joining properties as well as relevant historical facts about the area. C. Biophysical features of specific project site and spoil site if applicable. Include identification of bottom types and any relevant historical facts about the area of the project. D. Potential impact of project on biological resources and water quality. Address long-term impact as well as immediate impact for all aspects of the project. E. Suggestions, where appropriate, for modifications that may reduce or minimize the potential impact of project. -32- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Cheney then read the following Biological & Water Quality Assessment: ne¸ DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT & CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES The applicant proposes to fill a drainage ditch (approximately 1,900 cubic yards below Ordinary High Water) and construct two (2) outfall struc- tures in Canal E-4. A plan for drainage discharged from two (2) holding ponds i~ not included in this application since it is being processed by the South Florida Water Management District. B. BIOPHYSICAL FEATURES OF GENERAL AREA Ce The general area consists of pasture land which drains through various ditchgs into Canal E-4. Upland vegetation consists mainly of grasses. BIOPHYSICAL FEATURES OF SPECIiFIC PROJECT SITE & SPOIL SITE The specific site is currentliy being used for cattle grazing and is covere~ by upland vegeta- tion. Most of the drainage ~itch which is to be filled hosts wetland-type vegetation such as wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera) and willow (Salix carolin- iana) with other disturbed-tape species also present. A major portion of this ditch! has apparently-been without standing water for a relatively long period as evidenced by the type of wegetation. However, approximately fifty (50) line,ar feet of the canal at its junction with E-4 werel submerged at the time of the inspection and appeared to be continually or periodically inundated. The section of E-4 included in this project has a sandy shoreline with upland grass vegetation. No aquatic animal species were observed with the exception of mosquito fish (Gambusia affinis). Water quality in E-4 is consistent with other area canals of similar size. Tannins impart a brownish tint to the water, which otherwise appears clean. The input of nutrients from c~ttle fields (primar- ily nitrogen) does not appear to create vegetative bloom conditions in this portion of E-4 apparently due to the relatively rapid movement of the water away from the area. -33- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 DJ POTENTIAL IMPACT OF PROJECT ON BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES & WATER QUALITY The long-term effect of this project concerns mainly the change in the type of runoff entering E-4. The nitrogen component of the present efflu- ent will be replaced with phosphorous from fertili- zers associated with proposed landscaping. This change may more closely resemble a natural situa- tion in whiCh nitrogen is limited, but will likely magnify the phosphorous content of the receiving waters. Nevertheless the use of vegetated holding ponds and the dynamics of E-4 are such that nutri- ents should not create nuisance conditions except in extreme cases. Oils and greases from parking lots will probably enter E-4 and could contribute to overall degrada- tion of water quality. The quantLties of oils and greases, however, are not expected to exceed State standards as some collection and biodegradation should occur in the settling ponds. The short-term impact of outfall construction and filling activities is limited to excessive turbi- dity which could escape the area. E. SUGGESTIONS FOR MODIFICATIONS The use of turbidity screens is recommended during all phases of water-related construction to control siltation. No further modifications appear neces- sary. Mr. Cheney stated the recommendation is the Council approve these two applications to the South Florida Water Management District and the Department of the Army/Florida Department of Environmental Regulations. Mr. deLong so moved, seconded by Mr. Harmening. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Park Maintenance Turf Maintenance Program Mr. Cheney summarized that his request is for the services of the Scott Company to look at all the grass areas in the City and make a recommendation as to how we can better use fertilizers and maintenance activities to improve the quality of what we are growing and reduce maintenance. If the pro- gram is followed that they lay out with fertilizers, water- ing, etc., it will be beneficial. He wants to proceed with the program. There is no sense asking for bids as we will be using Scott products. It is legitimate to proceed without bids. He wanted to get Council concurrence that this is the direction we should try. He recommends it highly. -34- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. Trauger questioned how much more the fertilizer would cost than what we are currently spending and Mr. Cheney replied that we will be buying more as we have not bought much fertilizer. The cost can be covered with a re-alloca- tion of funds. Mr. Frederick added that there are no records for what was spent in the past. Mr. ideLong asked if the funds are available and Mr. Cheney replied affirmatively. Mr. deLong clarified that we are not going to bid for this type of program. Mayor Riscoe stated as far as she islconcerned, things like this should be left to the City Manager's discretion. She does not think this is necessary for~City Council action. Mr. deLong replied that it is nice tO get home, but there are alternatives h~ to limit meetings. There are two other Tuesdays available each month and the Planning and zoning material could be considered at thatltime, or the regular meeting could start at 6:00 P. M. tolgo over these matters. Mayor Riscoe agreed and suggested discussing a possible earlier time fOr site development plgns and public hearings for rezonings at the workshop meeting next week. Mr. deLong referred to the City expanding and having more busi- ness and stated some other way should be worked out rather than having these long meetings. Mayor Riscoe announced this would be discussed further at the workshop meeting next week. Mr. Harmening moved to approve the sole source supply for fertilizer from Scotts for the turf maintenance program, seconded by Mr. deLong. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Park Maintenance Schedule Change Mr. Cheney referred to the workload ~n this particular divi- sion and explained that the side sections along Federal Highway need maintenance and it is his suggestion to improve and maintain these areas with the elimination or reduction of other activities. Mr. Trauger asked if this would also include other streets such as Ocean ~venue and major streets and Mr. Cheney replied that he was p~oposing to do Federal Highway first and if there are other streets, something else can be dropped from the schedule. Mr. Trauger stated that he thinks the people on U. S. 1 should have some degree of responsibility, the same as we do at our homes. Mr. Cheney informed him that he asked the City Attorney about this and we cannot force them to clean that area because it is public right,of-way. -35- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA FEBRUARY 5, 1980 Mr. deLong stated that the problem is manpower. We are trying to spread the manpower too thin. The City has to be serviced. There is no such thing to drop one area to take care of something else. We must take care of every- thing. If it means additional manpower, we should supply it. If we don't have the manpower, then we can't produce. We have always tried to keep the taxes down, but we have suffered with the results. If the people want service, then we can only do it with having the proper amount of employees. Mr. Harmening moved to give the proposed new schedule a try, seconded by Mr. deLong. Under discussion, Mr. Harmening commented that we cannot compare a major highway with a side street and explained how travelers discard litter along highways, but the residents usually keep side streets clean. Motion carried 5-0. Summary of Irrigation Program Mr. Cheney referred to his summary indicating what kinds of areas we are involved with and stated he has listed the various types of systems we have. We must maintain the irrigation systems we have .and run them. This is just a report and no action is necessary. Report on Results of Vehicle Auction, January 19, 1980 Mr. Cheney referred to getting rid of a tremendous amount of junk and advised the net amount was $10,523.79. Request to Locate Temporary Office/Construction Trailer R. A. Bernzott & Associates, Contractor Flagship First National Bank, 2505 S.W. 15th Avenue Mr. deLong asked if everything was in order and Mr. Cheney replied affirmatively. Mr. deLong moved to grant this re- quest, seconded by Mr. Harmening. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Village Royale on the Green Owners League Request Regarding Temporary Sales Office Mr. Cheney referred to this having been granted in a variety of ways in the past and advised they have an application submitted for a new recreation building and to clear the record, the usual temporary permit should not be authorized. Mr. deLong asked if everything was in order and Mr. Cheney replied affirmatively. Mr. deLong moved to go along with Village Royale on the Green's request, seconded by Mr. Harmening. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. -36- We have the option to this application Mr. Harmening comme~ tion to the Boca Ra are moving it here. Repgrt on zoning O. ~ Mr. Cheney stated would be aware of ~ with this.

There is no reason the trucks have. to Park there. He thinks it would be advisable for them to park in the bank parking lot. Streets, Section 10, Leisureville Mr. deLong stated there was an emergency in Section 10 of Leisureville and the driver of the ambulance was trying to locate an address and the reason he could not is because there are two 20th Streets in Section 10. He distributed a sketch and pointed out the location of the two 20th Streets. Mr. Cheney commented that the entire street numbering sys- tem in Leisureville is all wrong relative to the rest of the City and Mr. deLong replied that something should be done about it.
