Mr. Harmening added that when they discovered high readings here recently, the readings were faulty. Mayor Jackson added that she is on the MPO Committee and word was sent from the Governor that they were in chemge of this, but she does not think the guidelines have been set as yet. M~s.

Other Report from~l~'~y Attorney - Re: Parental Responsibility ~. Moore informed the Council that Section 2.01 Florida Statutes adopts the Common Law of England as the Law of Florida unless changed by the State Legislature. The Com- mon Law provided that parents were not responsible for the torts of their minor children. Said Common Law has been partially altered by the State Legislature's enactment of Section 74~.24 which rendered them responsible to the mone- tary extent of $1,000. Ia his opinion, he does not think the City could supersede that limitatiom and it could only be amended through the Florida Legislature. Mmyor Jackson suggested passing a resolution urging the Municipal League or Florida League of Cities to urge the State to get something like this. She ~uows the States of Ohio and Connecticut have such laws. Mr. Caldwell asked if she meaht to increase it to ar~v specific level and Mayor Jackson replied negatively, but to look into what the other states have. .Mr. DeM~rco made a motion that this recommendation be sent to the League of Municipalities and up further~ wherever it has to go, for further study, seconded by Mr. Caldwell. Mayor Jackson clarified that it had been moved and seconded to recommend to the Municipal League and Florida League of Cities to lobby an~ recommend this to the State Legislature. Motion carried 5-0. OLD BUSIneSS Chamber of Commerce/Bicentennial Park ~yor Jackson referred to the Council members having received copies of the minutes from the conference with the Chamber of Commerce and also Ers. Baughn's comprehensive statement and requested that the representatives of the Chan~ber of Commerce come forward. ~'~s. Kathy, Eaughn, President of the Chamber of Commerce, ap- peared before the Council. She referred to the November ~, ~977, City Council meeting when a request was made by the Ehamber to utilize a portion of the City land on North Federal MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORID_~ ~_PRIL 4, 1978 HighwsG~ as a site for a new much needed Chamber building and advised that the Council unanimously went on record as "being in agreement with the Cham~er to work out whatever is possi- ble''. They are now coming back for the Council's support and also asking that the Council appoint representatives to sit with them to work out a point hy point lease agreement. The final lease will come back to the City Council for approval. M~s. Haughn referred to a workshoo meeting being held with the Council last Wednesday night ~nd stated that as requested, written material was submitted. Also, as requested, they submitted a survey of other Chambers of Commerce involved with leases with their cities. She would like to take a moment to.cover some of the material, so those present will have an i~ea of their request. The preliminary design was presented at the workshop meeting. The intent is to oreserve and utilize the park with only using 17 to 20% of the-park for their ibuilding ~ad parking. Trees and shrubbery would be added ~or screening of the building smd pslking. Not discussed ~at the previous meeting is the worthwhile additional services ~hey will be &bls to provide for this community. There wil~ be ameeting room which would hold approximately 200 people~ which could be made available for civic organiza- tions. Shie told about the Dania Chamber having social secur- ity servicles available in their building weekly and added that the S,tate and City officials coul8 also meet there regu- larly. Byl locating the Chamber of Com~m~erce in the park, it will give more people reasons to visit the park. The loca- tion of an~ attractive relatively small building will not de- tract from~ the visual enjoyment of people passmng by. She explained how there would be certain pleasures derived along with added uses of this area. ~s. Haughn then stated that the location of the new Chamber building iS critic~l.. This location was the result of ma~ hours of discussion and research. Although the residential growth is moving westward, it is felt that the Chamber should remain as an anchor and continue to promote Federal Highway as the business district. After receiving approval from the City Council, the Chamber will proceed with fund raising. Business interests have supported the Chamber and it is felt that raising the $35,000 needed will be no problem at all. The Chamber can receive assistance from local financial in- stitutions and they have been assured with the proper lease, financial assistance is available. The Chamber of Commerce is the front door of our community. The first impression received is a lasting one and she referred to Mayor Jackson verifying this with her first contact being througi~ the Chamber before moving to Boynton Beach. They have come to the City not with their hand out, but with their hand stretched in the spirit of 50 years of cooperation in making Boynton Beach a better place to live. -8- MINTJTES - REGULAR CIT~_ CO~NC~ ~ETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 4, 1978 ~. Robert Alan Black, Architect under contract with the Chamber of Commerce as well as a member, appeared before the Council and referred to making a presentation at the workshop meeting and stated he would like to make a short presentation at this time if the Council agrees. He ascer- tained there was no objection. He stated that as M~s. Haughn mentioned, there has been much study done for this particular project orior to his involvement as the architect. He showed a map indicating where the members are located and pointed out that more ~ha~ 5~ of the members are along U. S. ~. He showed a zoning map of the City indicating the commercial property available. He showed a mao showing the access and major routes in the City-and explained that !-95 is traffic coming intb the City, but traffic within the City is along U. S. 1. During the past few years, there has been a tremen- dous growth in the Chamber and the City. He then showed a plan of the park as it exists now and explained. He advised that there are a number of places where the building could be located and pointed out at the north and south with 17 to 20% of the land being used. As the ultimate solution, he chose the south end. He showed a plan of the proposed build- ing and explained the location and traffic exposure. He explained how the building has been set on an angle for col- lection of sun for solar heating purposes and told about the construction materials. He pointed out that eight parking spaces were provided even though only six were required. He further told about the visual effect of the building and parking. He then showed a floor plan and told about the various room~ planned. He showed an elevation drawing and explained. t~~. Black then clarified that they were now asking for a vote for the use of a portion of the park for their new building. Even though he has indicated the south section of the park, with ~nor alterations it could be located on the north end. They are asking for consideration of the City to go into contract with them in the form of a lease for this property. ~. Weaver appeared before the Council and stated that he attended the workshop meeting and after he left, he felt the main concern was not whether they needed the building, as it was agreed that the Chamber of Commerce is extremely important to the City, but there was a ~uestion about the location. They have inves~$ed various locations and feel this is probably the best site. His feeling was that their only objection was what it would do to the park. He feels the park is not being used now and the building will enhance it a~d more people willhhave the oooortunity to visit the park. He hopes the Co~uci! will v~e in favor of it. Mms. Ann Barrett appeared before the Council and stated that she knows they would all be very grateful to have a beautiful building here which everyone will be proud of. There is a need. She then told about being instrumental in obtaining the first bank in the City. MINUTES - REGUL~-~ CIT~ COUNCIL M~ETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 4, 1978 M~. John Howell, 900 Isles Road, appeared before the Council and stated that he has resided and made his living in Boynton Beach for the last 14 years. He has been Director of the Chamber of Commerce for ten years and past President, but is not an official now. Everyone has pointed out the need for a new location. He thinks it is very appropriate that someone points out to the Council a need for a viable Chamber of Com- merce within the community. If the businesses thrive, the community thrives. There is no other organization in our comm~Lnity, County, State and nation that has the business interest as its sole objective to see that business prospers. It means Salaries are paid, buildings built, more taxes, etc. He addresses the Council and audience on the basis of the need and ~esirability of providing the Chamber of Commerce with a too1 whic~ is vitally needed to fulfill its function. Mayor Jackson ascertained there were no other speakers and opened the discussion to the Council. Mr. DeMarco stated that he attended the discussions and there is no question we should have a Chamber of Commerce in Boynton Beach and possibly this is a good location. However, there may be a problem with the reverter clause on this property and he feels that should be discussed. He asked what the Chamber had done in regards to the reverter clause and M~s. Haughn replied that this would be a stipulation in the lease. She clarified t~_a~ they were just asking for neoot_at~om~s on the lease to sit down in conference and discuss these. They have talke~ to Bessie Stanley who spoke to Bertha Chadwell and she is in faJzor of the Chamber of Commerce locating here. It could be a stipulation of the lease which would have to be cleared before finalization of the lease. 5'~. DeMarco referred vo a statement made that the City would rei~Yourse the Chamber in reference to the reverter clause and ~s. Haughn. replied that was a definite error. ~. De~mrco questioned the length of the lease and M~s. Haughn replied that would be negotiated. She added that they thought this could be discussed better after finding out the other facts and figures. M~. DeMarco complimented them on the design submitted. ~;~. Harmening stated he was concerned about the reverter clause because not only could they lose their building, but the'City could lose valuable property and F~s. Haughn clari- fied that they were just asking for the Council's continuing support so they don't put out money to research this reverter clause unnecessarily. ~. Black further clarified that their request was to put the building on the site of the park with the reverter clause to be solved. If the revertercclause could not be changed, the building could be placed at the north end. -10- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOY~TON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 4, t978 M~. Black continued that if the owners or descendants could not be negotiated with, the arrangement would be null and void. The location of the building must meet with the Coun- cil's approval also. Mr. Caldwell stated that if we were to approve the request of the Chamber of Commerce at this point in time and subse- quently t~ey are unable to receive a release of the reverter clause, especially in regard to these three lets, then the City has mot lost ~uything. He does not think ar~ h~m would have. been done as ground would not have been broken. He thinks ~e must ~i~e~them.~ an indication whether this Council will give support in the event the reverter clause is removed!. Mayor Jackson reolied that is why ~he~rare here tonight a~d this was ironed o~t the other night. ~. Caldwell continued ithat an alternative would be to build it at the other end !of the park and he sees nothing wrong with that. He is in favor of allowing the Chamber to proceed to see them accomplishi what they want. ~s. Haugha referred to someone preparing the lease and Mayor Jackson inlformed her that the City ~ttorney would t~i~e care of thmt. ~. Roberts referred to having a meeting room for 200 people, but only having eight parking spaces and ~s. Haughn replied that woulSi not be a problem as parking could be oe~otiated for in the:surrounding area. ~. Black referred to being a professional architect and advised that any city allows the use of commercial ps~king within a certain radius. He in- formed them that there is a l~Ee shopping center across the street and!a real estate office across the side street and negotiations would be made for the parking. All the parking necessary would be available. Mayor Jackson requested com- ments froml the Building Official and ~. Howell stated that they would not be able to tsd~e parking from any other place for this use and must have parking on their own site, Mr. Black referred to the shopping center not being open when the conferences would be held and !~. Howell informed him that off-street parking was required for any commercial building and parking could not be shared. He added that a similar request from a church was fume8 down based on legal advice. ?~. Roberts stated that he is in favor of the Chamber of Commerce operating; however, his point is that there seems to be a tremendous drive to use the little Bmcentenn~al Park. He suggested that some alternative spots be consid- ered, but nobody seems to want to talk about it.. He re- ferred to the locations of other cities, Chambers. He then referred to Boynton Beach subsidizing the Chamber with $12,000 and Mrs. Haughn replied that they did not re- ceive that. Mm. Roberts continued with stating that very few Chambers are subsidized and perhaps if they war~t to give up the subsidy, maybe an agreement could be reached. -It- MINUTES - REGULAR CITT COUNCIL ~ETING BOYNTON BEACH ~ FLORIDA APR~L 4, 1978 Ms. Roberts then referred to there being a lot of space at the Boat Ramp Park with sufficient area for parking. He thi~ the Chamber can easily be located wit~ the use of proper signs. He told about this location and stated that he just did not like the idea of giving up this beauty spot, the Bicentennial Park, which he thinks is the only ~cent spot around that area. He asked if they had any objections to this alternate site and Mss. Haughn replied that there was no objection to another site. They have done months of study, but did not investigate this particular area. They looked along U. S. I where the businesses are concentrated. [~yor Jackson then referred to there being two other spots on U. S. 1, one a triangular piece of property of the west of where the sign is just north of the canal and the other at Jaycee Park. This property could be released to them and there would be a lot of room. Me. Lambert informed her that the City could use this property, but no permanent structures could be built. Mmyor Jackson stated she was pretty sure the property north of the canal could be used. Mmyor Jackson stated that if there was a lien on this, they could not negotiate at all and ~. Moore replied that he be- lieved the Chamber had a plan where there w~uld not be a lien. ~s. Haughn clarified that if the nroper lease could be negotiated, financing would be no prob%em. Mr. DeMarco stated that he likes the plan, but is concerned with the parking requirements. Mayor Jackson added that there was no doubt about plenty of parking being in the area, but it would not be in accordance with our requirements and they must be on the site. M~. Black referred to this being CO property and told how it was designed according to C-1 requirements. He pointed out that eight parking spaces were shown, more than the code required. There is also parking available on both sides of U. S. t. He told about projects in other cities where parking was allowed to be shared. He then stated if this would not be allowed, that area would be storage space and not used for meetings. ?~s. Haughn stated as long as the Council agrees there is a possibility of them locating in this area, then they could sit down ~ud discuss the lease and get the professional help needed. ~. Roberts suggested that they explore an alterna- tive site that would be more conducive to parking. M~or Jack, on referred to this being valuable property with the possibility of there being use for it in the future. She added that it is the Bicentennial Park and not surplus pro- perry, hut more or less a holding zone. ~. Kohl suggest,d that he be authorized to work with the Chamber of Commerce to further research some of the olaces mentioned. M~yor Jackson stated that this location ~ust be -12- MINUTES - REGhqlAR CI'~----------------~ COUNC~-L ~ETI~G BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 4, 1978 voted up or down. alternatives here, as we do not have ~. Roberts replied that in view of the he would vote against disturbing that park enough ps, ks and should hey~e more. ~. Roberts then made a motion to keep this in abeyance and keep this park from being developed as Chamber of Commerce property and offer alternatives. Mayor Jackson laid aside the gavel and seconded the motion. ~. Harmening clarified that it had been moved and seconded to deny the use at this time o£ the Bicentennial Park for the Chsmber of Commerce building, ~. DeMarco then made a substitute motion to continue nego- tiations and possibly work with the City Manager and try to work out something feasible and satisfactory with the .City Council and Chamber. Mayor Jackson laid aside the gavel and seconded the morion. M~. Roberts replied that it would be a logical move to leave this open and accepted this substitute motion and withdrew his original motion. Mayor Jackson with- drew her original second. Under discussion, ~,.~. Caldwell asked if it was the in~ent of the motion to encoo~age the Chameoer to look into this parcel of land and Mr. DeMarco replied this land or any other parcels. He suggests that we work together and come up with a solution. Motion carried 5-0. Consider Recommendation from the Planning & Zoning Board Regarding -~¥oposed County Land Use Plan for Reserve Annexa- tion Area (Tabled) M~. Roberts asked if a recommendation had been submitted from the Planning & Zoning Board on this item and Mayor Jackson requested M~. Simon Ryder, Chairman of the Plan- ning & Zoning Board to comment. ~. Ryder stated that when it first appeared before the Council, he think~ the Council members felt they neede~ clarification. ~yor Jacksoncclar- ified that the Council wanted to know the decision reached and M~. Ryder informed them that a motion was carried 5-I that the Planning & Zoning Board recommend to the City Co~3m- cil that the Council explore the possibility of extending the services of our present consultant to ~he reserve annexa- tion areas. ~.

Motion carried 4-1 with M_~. Harmening dissent- in%. Mmyor Jackson referred to requesting Y~. Moore to look into the agreement. ~-@~. Moore referred to there being several general areas where questions were raised an~ advised that he discussed this with the Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Housing Authority. There is no fiscal respon- sibility to the City. As he understands, this is a request for funds to investigate the feasibility of going forward with the Housing Authority. It is not going into a ~roject at this time. M~. Harmening replied that he did not inter- pret this agreement that way and ~. Moore replied that there lsa resolution for approving the preliminary application Tor a loan. ~. Moore continued explaining that apparently under these particular projects if these go forward under Federal Law, the City is not authorized to tax those parti- cular projects such as housing for low income projects. There are certain funds w~ich would be raised which the properties would be subject to and some funds are reimbursed. He does not think it would be as much money as the tax income though. Also, the properties cannot be assessed for any im- provements. The agreement also talks about the fact that the City would agree to cooperate or rele~ or deviate from the normal building codes in order to promote the economy, what- ever that means. Mayor Jacksonaasked if this meant that a house could be built next to her and they would not he3~e to live up to the same code as she did and ~. Moore replied affirmatively. Caldweli asked who would m~e the d]efinitive decision and ~. ~oore replied that the Council would have to make the ultimate decision, fem.

He does not think we could be forced to deviate from the rvqumremen~s. ~L~yor Jackson referred to the statement that if they renege on ta~es, a lien cannot be placed and M~. Moore.clarified that they would be exempt from taxes. He added that they have a formula where they give money hack if and when it is collected. Mr. Harmening added that it also asked us to vacate roads, alleys, etc. }~k TM' Ca!dwell read 3A under the Cooperation Agreement and questioned the specific meaning and >L~. Moore informed him that once this project starts and it is funded by government money, we cannot tax the facilities. ~. Harmening added that they are asking for 313 units, which is a lot of taxes, and he is quite sure there are not 313 families in need for this. Also, if we agree to something like this, the Beach County Housing Authority will be moving these indigents into Boynton Beach from all over the County. M~. Caldwell referred to the ~ C_ty giving up easements, rights- of-way and M~. Harmening replied that this means we vacate anything they desire. M~. Rubin Lefkowitz, Vice Chairman of the Boynton Beach Hous- ing Authority, appeared before the Council and stated that the Boynton Beach Housing Authority has been appointed by this Council to carry out the serious responsibility of dealing with the problem of housing in the target area. As such to carry out this ~esoonsmbmlmty, the Housing Authority isn't meeting once a month like other committees, but they are meeting practically twice a week because of the seriousness of the problem. He explained how the responsibility of meet- ing the needs of the underprivileged had been taken on by the government and municipalitieso~ When,this Council an- pointed the Boynton Beach Housing Authority, it Was app$inted with the exoressed spirit of researching the problems and trying to rSmedy them. in that spirit, they have proceeded to investigate the situation. They have worked with the Palm Beach County Housing Authority where they can come in and get funds in conjunction with us from the federal government for human needs. We are talking about human beings. In research- ing the target area, there are not only 300 fe~nilies, but considerably more than 300 living under ~i%uations that none of us would dare to live under, He can take anyone on a tour and show them these situations. He then referred to the Build- ing Department being in a program of demolition and stated that there is no replacement housing for the people. The only way these people can get housing is with subsidies from the federal government. He then stated that the Housing Authority met with the people of the churches in the target area last night and stated it was brought out at this meet- ing that the situation is serious from the human point of MINUTES - R~GULAR CITY COUNCIL ~TING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRlw~ 4, 1978 view. He requests the Council to appoint the Housing Author- ity to look into these ~tters and work day after day on a volunteer Basis to gather facts before they make decisions and they go along with this Housing Authority when they go into an agree:meat with Palm Beach County Housing Authority, which they can,t do on their own because of their smallness. M~. Caldwell asked what was considered the target area as far as City Improvement~ is concerned? The City of Boynton Beach or the South County mrea? PL~. Barry Seaman inforn~Jed him that the application which goes to HUD specifies the City of Boynton Beach only. He added that if it was outside the City limits, he would not be asking for a Cooperation Agreement or resolution. These are requirements from HUD. It is strictly within the City for their current residents. The target area is established by the County Assistance Plan and Community Development ~ogram. This is a responsibility of receiving CD money. ~. Seaman then referred to the paperwork submitted and 300 units being stated, but advised that they are not going to get 300 units. He explained how HUD had available 1~3 units with substantial rehabilitation, ~ut that no new ~oms~ruction money was available. Mr. Roberts stated that we just ~ent through a period of new homes beiag built awhile ago and they are wrecked, boarded-up and it looks sad in different areas. How can this be con- trolled so it won't happen again? ~. Seaman informed him that when these units are put together, his Housing Authority is responsible to pay the bonds and operating expenses. He has an excellent rating with other projects and he would be glad to show them to the Council. ~. Roberts referred to the Delr~v Beach oroject and ~. Seaman informed him that was built by a different organization. ~. Seaman then ~xplained how the~ orogram would work with HUD· allocating units here after approving a package sub- m~tted~for reaaozt~a~on. He then referred to new con- struction and explained how the houses would be built to the minimum standards of HUD which surpasses the ~ouvhern~ ~ Standard Building Code and many city codes. ~. DeMarco asked why it was stated that they would adhere to thsir own code a~d ~. Seaman rept~em that many cities nave codes under theirs. Mayor Jackson asked if only Housing Authorities could bid on these houses and ~. Seaman replied affirmatively. ~yor Jackson asked if a private ~erson could not bid on these houses in the North Seacres~ area and ~. Sea~n reolied that they could an~ clarified that he was speaking ~bout the 100 units referred to hy HUD. MI~TEo - REGu~&R CITY COUNCIL ~TING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 4, ~978 MX'. Harmening referred to these homes being scattered through- out the northern section and explained how there was the pos- sibility of a house being rehabilitated and being occupied by a low income family located between two nice homes and stated that under these conditions, the present occupants will move out and HUD will have a lot more homes. M~. Seaman questioned his opinion of the low income people and Mr. Harmening replied that he has seen what they have done to homes. He added that he has heard about ~. Seaman's good reputation in this field, but a~$ed what guarantee we have of how long he will be here. Msjor Jackson referred to the houses being scattered and referred to the possibility of a house being fixed up while the one ne×t door was not and stated that this would not help the neighborhood. M~. Seaman informed her that they are looking at every house available in that area. They would like to go through a home ownership program, but the money is not available from the federal government. M~. Harmening agreed that HUD is fixing them up slowly, but explained how he thought it would be better for them to release them to be sold at 80 or 90% of the market value, so individuals can buy them and fix them up themselves and the area will stabilize quicker and the City will get their taxes. P~. Seaman referred to this going on for years and ~. Harmening referred to madly being foreclosed in 196~-6a, but told how they were put back on the market and the homes were improved, the area stabilized, and the property did not leave the tax rolls. ~. Seaman clarified that he was talk- ing about people who could not afford to buy them for many reasons and with this method, they would not be ta~ing care of the people needing help. He stressed again that a demo- lition program was going on with the result being of no place to house the people. They must consider what to do with the families. A decision must be made. ~r. DeMarco referred to these properties not paying taxes and questioned Where they would be situated with the rest of the people paying taxes and ~t~. Seaman clarified that the formula they were speaking of is payment in lieu of taxes, which is t0% of the builder g~ant according to State Statutes. ~. DeM~arco asked what the homes would normally rent for and ~. Seaman replied that the average house would probably be $80 to $90 per month. M~. Harmening questioned the default rate and Mr. Seaman informed him that it was less than 1%. Mr. DeMarco e~ar_~edTM ~ that our taxx structure would be approximately $100 Der house per year and M~. Seaman re- plied that it was a pa~ment in lieu of taxes to take care of police and fire protection, etc. The City would receive full payment for the services such as water, etc. -17- MINUTES - REGUL~M CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON ~ACE, FLORIDA APRIL 4, 1978 ~. Harmeningreferred to the situation in Pahokee when the Housing Authority refused to pay the increased water rates and questioned how we could handle such a situation~ 'Mr. Seama~u explained how they would have a budget and management. ~. Caldwel! referred to the payment of 10% the City was going to receive and ~. Seaman informed him that it would be paid the same as taxes. It would be oaid out of the bond issue. He stated again that they did no~ ~ow if they can get the allocation yet. All they are doing right now is asking for the allocation to be allotted here and then a w~ole pac~ge must be put together to see if it is going to be feasible. Mr. Harmening clarified that the City would not get 10%, but only a portion of the 10% with the County, School Board, and any others sharing according to their millage. He added that ~ of l f~ was a lot closer. M~. Caldwell asked if the wording could be changed and M~. Seaman replied affirmatively, before it is finalized. The Council must decide tonight what they a_~e going to do as this application has to be in the mail by Thursday morning. A lot of things can be finalized later or changed. Mr. Harmening disagreed emd stated that if this agreement is signed, it is irreversible ~nd cannot be repealed unless the bonds are paid off. ~. DeMarco referred to some people needing help and asked if possibly a trial few could be tried and M~. Seamsm re- plied that all we are talking about now is a pre-applica- tion to HUD. No bond issue will be floated. We are just requesting HUD to allocate units here. It will come before the City Council before there is a bond issue. ~. Harmening replied that this was not stated in the agreement and accord- ing to the agreement, it appears we are commited to a total of 213 units and Mr. Moore agreed. Mm. Harmening made a motion to drop this whole thing, seconded by Mayor Jackson after laying aside the gavel. !~. Harmening clarified that the motion was to drop from consideration the agreements with Palm Beach County Housing Authority. Under discussion, M~. DeMarco asked where this would out the Hous- ing Authority and Mayor Jackson replied that th~s is for re- habilitation. ~. Kohl added that it has nothing to do with the Community Development Block Grant. ~. Roberts referred to the. houses being boarded up and stated that he thinks we should make an effort to do something. He does not think it could get any worse. He is in favor at this point. ~. Seaman clarified that it was not only the boarded up homes, but could be any homes in Boynton Beach. ~.

Certainly by signing this, it would create financial responsibility. We cannot tax these properties or the Auth- ority. He explained how the p~yment in lieu of taxes would be based on a modest shelter rent and shared by the various taxing bodies. Also with the failure to make this payment, no liens can be attached nor penalties made. We cat,not do anything about it if they do not pay. It is also stated that we agree to vacate such streets, roads, alleys as m~¥ be necessary at no charge. He referred to the effect of deviat- ing from the Building Code. The agreement calls for 200 homes to be rehabilitated and ll3 to be constructed. He understands ma~v to be rehabilitated are those in the north end owned by HUD and he believes these should be offered to private citizens who could get full FHA financing and other funds available for improvement. There are man~ government programs m~ing it possible for people to own their homes. There is a lot of ~perwork and red tape invol~ed, but he would like to see the dedicated members of our own Housing Authority guide people to home ownership of these homes. He is sure there is a need £or 113 homes, but we do not know where they will be built. We are asked to make zoning changes to ~ccommodate~ ~' them. ~ablic housing projects do not have a great track record and are usually detrimental to the area. He told about the people being concerned about the situation in the north end of the City. He referred to the agreement giving full authority to the Palm Beach County Housing Auth- ority and stated he did not see anywhere that these proposed dwelling units would be for the needy in Boynton Beach. Also, this agreement cannot be abrogated, changed or modi- fied without the consent of the Secretary of HUD. M~. Seaman replied that the statement of everything being in the hands of the Palm Beach County Housing Authority was completely false. He explained how the codes and zoning of the City must be met. ~@. Harmening referred to this not being spelled out in the agreement and ?m. Seaman replied that the agreement is not for a project. It does not mean that 113 units will be built. No money is available for new construction, but they are just hoFezul they will get money for it when it is available. The City has the complete say- so over all the units built. Mayor Jackson asked why the agreement didn't ssy that and Mr. Seaman replied that this agreement goes to HUD mud it does not control the City gov- ernment at all. M~vor Jackson stated that it is not stated that we can stop it. Mr. Caldwell clarified that it seems like this Council has specific reservations regarding this cooperation agreement. He realizes time is of the essence and suggests that the restrictions be included. ~. Seaman replied that he would like to do this, but doesn't have the tir~. He added that he was invited here to help the City and if the City does not want the units, he will apply for them for the County. Further discussion followed about the effect of the statements in the agreement pertaining to the change of zoning, etc. Mr. Roberts stated he was in favor of housing, but against this because of the agreement.
