Engagement of Fiscal Agent Relative to Second Story on Police Department Mayor DeLong informed the Council that he was requesting that permission be given to the City Manager in-conjunction with the Finance Director to explore the situation in so far as the available finances for construction of a second story on the Police Department. This is preliminary, just to see how they stand. It is just exploratory. Mrs. Jackson questioned if he was asking to hire a Fiscal Agent and M~or DeLo~g replied: no, hs would like to appoint Mr. Kohl and Mr. Kri~'~~ to get in touch with their Fiscal Agent and get a rundown on the best way to fin~uce this, t~king into consideration there is an outstanding debt which is almost paid off. It is the proper time now, to see if it can be extended and he explained. After finding out how much would be available, they would come back to the City Council ~ud we could keep within the money we could float a revenue certificate for. -2- MI~UTES R~C0~E~.D CITY COL~CIL ~ETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JA~YJARY 22, 1 976 Me. Zack made a motion to instruct the City Manager in con- junction with the Finance Director to contact the City's Fiscal Agent to find out how to finance the second floor of the Police Department. Mr. Strnad seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mrs. Jackson stated that before they have always had a request from the Police Chief. She then referred to having 35 sworn policemen in 1972 when the station was first built and they now have 69 sworn policemen. She ques- tioned the need of this now? M~or DeLong informed her that they were overcrowded emd needed space. They ~ave added patrolmen and need space. This is the time to move, if they c~Lmneg~tiate a revenue issue. He explained how it would be beneficial. He pointed out again that they would only be e~ploring. Mrs. Jackson stated she didn't mind exploring, but wanted to make sure there was a need~for it. Mayor DeLong replied that with an observation, she would conclude there is a definite need. If it wasn't needed, he wouldn't recommend it. Mr. Harmening stated he didn't feel there was any need for expansion nor a second story. The police station is just three years old. When it was dedicated, they talked about needing roller skates to get around. He feels it is abso- lutely unnecessary at this time. If they needed more space, he would be in favor of it. Helping the economy is a good thought, but he doesn't believe the City should uphold ths~ economy of South Florida. He think~ it would be a waste of time for the City Manager and Finance Director to explore it. Mr. Strnad asked M~. Harmening and M~rs. Jackson if they had been in the Police Department lately and had seen the cramped conditions? ~. H~rmening replied that he had been there about three months ago and didn't think things had changed that much now. ~@s. Jackson replied that she has been there, hut thinks there a_~e other things t.~ey can do. She doesn't thi~ they should kid themselves that it is co~ing from the cigarette tax. That cigarette tax could be used possibly to lower the taxes. Mayor DeLong stated that he didn't believe they were going to lower the taxes this year and also ex- plained how he thought it was ridiculous ~ud foolish that they do so this year. After a further discussion of the budgettsessions and the lowering of the taxes, Mayor DeLong requested a roll call vote on the motion. M~s. Padgett took a roll call vote as follows: Councilman Harmening - No Councilwoman Jackson - Councilman Strnad - .%'e Vice Mayor Zack - .~ye Mayor DeLong - Aye as she thinks it is a waste of time. Motion carried 3-2. MihWJTES BOYNTON - RECO~ArENED CITY COUNCIL MEETING BEACH, FLORIDA J~N3ARY 22, 1976 Plan for 100 Additional Parking Spaces at Public Beac.h Mayor DeLong requested that the City Engineer be instructed to accompany him to the beach to give an idea of just what exactly is being proposed and the City Engineer will draft a plan and come back to the City Council. M~. Harmening moved that the Mayor be per_~itted~n conjunc- tion with the City Engineer to journey to the beach and have the ~yor point out the intentions to acquire approximately 700 additional parking spaces and the Engineer wilI draft a plan for the City Council. M~. Zack seconded the ~otion. No discussion. Mrs. Padgett took a roll call vote as follows: Cou~cilmanHarmening - ~ye Councilwoman Jackson - Aye Councilman Strnad - Aye Vice Mayor Zack - Aye Ymyor DeLong - Aye Motion carried 5-0. Discuss Beach Parking M~. Strnad stated that more than once, he has brought up the idea of keeping the upper level, especially on the ocean side, for the residents of Boynton Beach only and they also received a letter in the past couple weeks relating to this. Whether this is legal or not, he does not Y_uow. He is just making this suggestion. He told about his experience with parking at the beach a_nd how people paying $2.00Lget prime spots for all day park_lng. He doesn't see anything wrong with people paying $2.00 and using their beach if they have plenty of room for residents~ but when residents get there and cs_unot find parking spaces, he thinks this suggestion should be looked into with keeping the upper spaces for the people of Boynton Beach. He would suggest keeping the paid customers all in one area which would make i% easier for the guards. Mayor DeLong referred to the plan he was going to propose and it would have two lanes to drive in and the guard at the booth would direct you to the upper or lower level. If you ~e a local resident, you could be directed to the upper level ~ud the others could be directed to the lower level. It will be better controlled. Mr. Harm~ning stated he could see nothing wrong with this plan. He thinks the beach attendants could be instructed to attempt to direct any paid parking to the lower level or the west side of the upper level. However, if they reach the point of saturation, he believes a person should be able to use it. He thi~s it would benefit the local residents to do something of this nature. Mayor DeLong explained if his plan was adopted, there would be two roads to follow. -4- MINUTES - RECOB~E~D CITY COL~ICIL ~ETING BOYNTON BEACH, ~LOR~-DA JAA~JARY 22, 1976 Agreement on Easements MAyor DeLong re-~utroduced Ordinances 75-29 and 75-30 requir- ing final approval by the City Council for anything other than free hookups.' M~. Strnad moved to re-introduce the amenS~ent to the ordinance requiring approval of the City Council of easements given. Mr. Zack seconded the motion. Under discussion, M~s.

On first reading, the ordinance passed, but on second reading, i~ died with a tie vote. He then read the caption of the Ordinance. M~. Harmsning stated he thought the City employees have done a good job in securing easements in the past. He knows from experience that it is sometimes very difficult and he explained. He has confidence in the Engineering Department and also in the Legal Dep~t~nt and really sees no need to change it. M~. Strnad replied that if this was true, why didn't they let the City ~uuagerspend whatever money he wants? Why ms~e him come to the Gouncil with bills over $5,000? He doesn't see any reason for not coming b~fore the City Council. ~yor DeLong referred to this being an expenditure of the taxpayers' money and he referred to the pipe and fence given previously. After talking about this further, he stated he thought the taxpayers in this City should be protected against fence and lateral giving. M~s. Jackson referred to Mr. Strnad's mention of the City ~nager's limit and questioned if they should set a limit on this in the same manner. M~yorDeLong disagreed and pointed out that they were the watch dog of the pe0ples' funds and he doesn't believ~ a department head has the auth- ority to do this. M_~s. Padgett took a ro~l call vote as follows: Councilman Harmening Councilwoman Jackson Councilman Strnad Vice Msyor Zack Mayor DeLong - Aye, because if this comes back to the Council, she knows she will have a chance to study it. - Aye - Aye - Aye Motion carried 4-1. MI~JTES - RECO~ENED CITY C0~CIL .W~ETING BOYNTON B?~CH ~ FLORIDA JANUARY 22, 1976 Discuss Possible Aquisition of Land for Expansion of Municipal Boat Ramp ~. Strnad referred to discussing last year the possible acquisition of the l~_nd in back of Morey's contiguous to their recreation area at the boat ramp. The price given was a very reasonable price for land in that~ea. This thing dropped dead last year. He is asking now for this Council to look ~nto the feasibility of getting this property at this time before it skyrockets out of proportion or someone else buys it~ The City has limited recreational facilities and the City is growing. He would like to look into this matter. Mr. Str~d .moved to instruct the City M~nager to re-open negotiations With Zhe o~mer of this property contiguous to the mun±6!iP~l"Boat ramp, seconded by ~.

Harmening seconded tha amendment. M~. Strnad suggested sticking to one particular item. Mayor DeLong agreed that they should not get bogged down. He re- ferred to having problems negotiating with the piece to the north and west an~ now feels the owners are about willing to give mp. The piece referred to by Mrs. Jackson was just renovated and probably is sky high. Y~s. Padgett conducted a roll call vote on the amendment as follows: Councilman Harmening .&ye Councilwoman Jackson Aye Councilman Strnad - No Vice M~or Zack - No Mayor DeLong - No Amendment failed 3-2. M~. Harmening requested further discussion on the main motion and stated he really had no objections to looking into this. He explained the package presented previously and stated he would be extremely reluctant to see the City get into the real estate business. He explained this further. He stated that unless they could come up with an entirely different ~rrangement, he would not be for it. M~. Str~ad replied that ne believed it would be illegal for the City to ooerate a business within its boundaries and he doesn,t thi~k they would go in that direction at all. ~. Harmening referred to this being the last proposal. ~yor DeLong suggested letting the City Manager proceed with re-negotiations and ~,~. Harmening replied that he was willing to listen to a new plan. -6- MINUTES RmC0h~MED CITY COL%~CIL ~ETiNG JA~UARY 22, 1976 BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA Mrs. Padgett took a roll call vote on the motion as follows: Councilm~/~ Harmening - Aye Councilwoman Jackson - ~ye Co~&ucilman Strnad - Aye Vice Mmuyor Zack - Aye M~or DeLong - Motion carried 5-0.

Kohl read Mr. Clark's memo dated October 23, 1975, stating that by Council action in t974, based on earlier commitments to the School Board by the City, it was agreed that a Force main and a water line along with a roadway for ingress and' egress to the school would be provided by the City to serve the South Technical Education Center. Because of said commit- ment, he does not believe that a Capital Improvement charge should be made for the force ma~n extended by the City to serve South Technical Educatiom Center or for the 16 inch water line that serves the school. With respect to the Boynton Reach Middle School, all extensior~ of water and sewer lines are being made by the School Board at their expense and there- fore, no Capital Improvement charge should be imposed. Con- nection charges as per ordinances for water and sewer should be charged for both schools. Mrs. Jacl~son referred to what the City has given the School Board ~ud stated she thought they should ask the School Board to give something to the City. She thinks there should be some kind of swap and referred to the Boynton Beach Elemen- tary School coming to the City. Mayor DeLong replied that it appeared that there more or less had been an agree~n~ made regarding this. He continued that the City has lived up to the agreement made and ran lines into the school and spent money to put in the road, etc. If all the City got in return for 20 acres of land deeded to the School Board was an agreement they have first right to purchase this elementary school property with a three year option to buy from the time it is put on the market at full market value, he thinks this is a ridiculous agreement. He exolained this further. He added that he didn't see why sinc~ this is public property, if it is going to be phased out ~y the School Board, why doesn,t it return vo the public? He also told about his ex- perience in Boca Raton in dealing with the School Board. e sta~ed agamn taat tn~s did not look like a good deal to him. He pointed out that there was a commercial c~ge and they must consider the code and ordinances and cannot have double standards. F~. Zack moved to acceot the recommendation of the City Engi- neer in his memo to th~ City Manager dated October 23, 1975. Mr. Strnad seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor DeLong clarified that charges would be charged for connec- tions for water and sewer per the ordinanaces for both schools. M~. Eohl informed the Council that M~. Loc!~man woUld like to speak. M~yor DeLong requested holding back on the motion ~nd giving the gentleman a chance to talk. -10- Mi~UTES - P~ECO~-ENED Ci~f COUNCIL M~ETING JANUARY 22, t976 BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MX. Cerey Lockmsm stated his name and his address as 128 Granada Court, Palm Springs, and informed the Council that he was employed by the School Board as their Real Property Manager. He stated that he thought he could clear this up some. In reference to the South Technical Education Center, Boynton Beach came to the School Board askiD~ that the Tech- nical School be placed in the South Co~mty area. He explained that Boynton Beach had offered the 20 acres s_md a Technical School was built in the North first. However, ~u considering the second Technical School, it was decided to locate it here in view of the offer made by the City. They also must remem- ber that State and Federal monies are involved here. The understanding at that time was that the City of Boynton Beach would furnish all sewer and water and road access to the site at no charge. This was prior to the enactment of the ordi- nance for hookup charges. It was felt by the School Board that there would be no charge for water and sewer hookup. Mr. Lockman then referred to the Middle School and stated the School Board feels they have tried to work with the City. He referred to the City coming to the School Board in refer- ence to water wells at Forest Park Elementary School. They felt they were giving away land, but gave the easement to the City so they would not have to re-locate the wells west of 1-95. Also, they considered how it helped the citizens and children of this area and granted the easement for the water wells. This is a give a_ud take situation and the Superinten- dent has requested that sewer and water hookup be made at no charge. ~Jor DeLong replied that he believes the City has lived up o their agreements with the School Board. They wanted the Technical School here snd still want it. The City donated a choice 20 acres. They cannot have double standards for their ordinances though, They must apply to everyone. He then read the costs for hookup charges. M~. Lockman clari- fied that it would cost the School Board $90,000 for sewer and water hookups for these two schools. ~rs. Jackson added that they have a bond agreement which states they cannot make any exceptions at all. ~. Lock, man continued that up to this date, the highest charge they have ever been charge~ in any area has not been over $4,000. In reviewing what has taken place in the past with working together, he believes the School Board feels they have gone completely out of their way to save the City thousands of dollars with the water wells at Forest Park. ~. H~mening tried to clarif~e~ their feelings and advised that since the passing of this ordinance in reference to con- nection charges, they have issued additional bonds predicated on revenues, including connection charges. The only wsj to -11- MI~JTES RECO~EI~D CITY CO~CIL MEm~ING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JAh~Jl~RY 22, 1976 get around this and live up to the bond resolution wonld be to transferfunds from the General Fund to the ~ev~nue ~u~d.~ ~ Mayor DeLong exolained that they could notc~Q%~t~l$~u~ zunms See Jackson agreed.- 2/3/76 Minute~ ~. Lockman continued with explaining how the School Board was limited in funds. Mayor DeLong replied that their rela- tionship has been good, but they must live up to their obli- gations and he doesn~'t think they can bend. M~s. Jackson added that they would have to go to the bond holders ~ud get 2/3's of the bond holders to agree to this and they have re- ceived letters that they will not agree~, to this. M~s.

Strnad requested that they dispense w±t~ sending out the list of monthly payment of bills, as he cannot see any earthly reason for it. He can go into the Fin~ce Department ~ud get this list at any time. This is a tremendous amount of work and a big e~pense. ~. Strnad moved to dispense with the policy which had been adopted to supply the list of payments, seconded by M~. Zack. Under discussion, M~s. Jackson asked if this would go into the book of minutes, so the public could check it. She explaine~ how she looked through it when she was a private citizen and feels it is very heloful and does the public a go~d service. M~. Strnad clarified that he was just asking MINUTES - RECO~ENED CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA JA~JAR¥ 22, 1976 that it not be sen~ to the Council members, but would be avail- able to every taxpayer and citizen. M~cs. Jackson suggested that it be included in the motion that it be attached to the minutes. Mayor DeLong clarified that he was just tryi~ to eliminate the typed bulky reports. If anyone wants to kuow, it is available in the Finance Director,s Office. Mrs. Jackson questioned if this was correct and Mr. Kohl informed her that the Finance Director has a complete list of every payment in a book.
