The Mayor asked if Mrs. Siarto or anyone was present to speak infavo~ of thms' item. No reply. He then asked if anyone wished to speak against this request. Mr. Ken Francis, 350 N.E. 27th Avenue, was concerned that there might be re-zoning involved in this case and it was explained that there was only a reef/est for conditional use, not re-zoning. Mr. Francis was also concerned about the Close proximity of other houses in the neighborhood and the possibility of the children wan4ering off or bet chased by dogs. Mrs. Judy Francis, 350 N.E. 27th Avenue, spoke against this request due to the noise 6f the children and how it would effect her and the elderly people in the neighborhood. Mr. Irving Keil, 201 N.E. 27th Avenue, said he lived in back of the house where the proposed child care center would be and he spoke against the request in view of the noise that would be created, dogs in the neighborhood and an un-fenced area at the site. Mr. Kohl read a letter he received from two elderly ladies in the neighborhood who were in opposition to the center in view of the noise (the signature was illegible). Mrs. Jackson noted that this request was turned down by the Planning & Zoning Board because Mrs. Siarto did not have the 7,500 feet which was necessary but only had 6,180 square feet. Mrs. Jackson therefore moved to accept the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Board and deny this request. Mr. Harmening seconded. Under discussion, Mr. DeLong questioned the procedure being followed and after some clarification by Mr. Kelly, Chairman of the Planning & Zoning Board, it was determined that Mrs. Siarto would not be in conformance with either the old or new Ordinance and this matter could be handled by simple motion.

Mr. Packard, 1311 S.W. 25th Avenue, also spoke in favor of re- zoning the area of 23rd and Cangress and proceeding with the shopping center.

Kohl strongly recommended that the charges be increased from $.50 per yard to $.75 per yard for the remainder of this fiscal year. O~e of the reasons behind this increase is the County going from a $.30 to a $.60 per yard rate increase. If they do, it could possibly encourage County Sanitation Company to use the City's landfill more than they do at present, resulting in higher volumes for the City to dispose of. An increase wonld deter them rather than increase the City's income.

Mr. BeLong moved to accept the City Manager's recommendation above with the appropriate instrument to be drafted if necessary. Mr. Harmening seconded.

F'rank Kohl, City Manager · illiam 1t. l'lo & go. May 23, 1975 Honorable Mayor and l~rs of the City'Council City of Boynton Beach Boy. on Beach, Florida RE: City of Beynton tA~ch - $2,600. 000 Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds Series 1975 As you may know by now. our team of Perry Cessna and Mitt Hallman was successD21 in getting Moody's to reccrnsider the rating on the Boynton Beach Water and Sewer Reven~e Bonds. The Bonds are ra~d "A" by Moody's. In this day of high costs of everything, including money, this is a :cee step forward for the City of Boynton Beach. You will be interested to know that as a part of our presentation which we gave to Meody's rating committee we, aside from emphasis on the water and sewer system, also emphasize~ ~he general City Hall attitude and posture of the City Council and, p~articularly, we were very proud to discuss the~ recent history and the improving sit~.zation. They seemed impressed, also, about what we had to say about the protection of the public interest and people-will-be-served atti- tude which° I believe, ~Ir. Frank Kob/ emanates, Rating people are concerned about the total value citizens receive, primarily because in a community where you have reasonably happy citizens beiieving their city is working for them on such th~ngs as parks ~ recreation, good plannirtg and zoning, and above all, the high standard of integrity which the City of Boynton Beach ttn:ough its City Manager reflects, is most important. I think it is also important to reco~n~z~ that Mr · Paul Startzman has contributed ~reatly to the successful quest for the Moody's "A" rating on the City's water and sewer revenue bonds. As you know, he has spent many hours on the utilities system and what we were able to relate to the rating agency regarding his activities, expertise, and concern impressed them quite a bit, I am sure.
