PUBLIC AUDIENCE
Mr. Homer Re~, 360 High Point Court, President of Section dA, High
Point Condominiums, came forward to speak about the petition the
res~xients sent to City Council a week ago regarding the access to
High Point off 3rd Street which has been closed for abo~t six months.
He said the residents were pleased with the quiet existence they've
experienced since the road has been closed. He was also concerned
ab~at the fact that the residents have been asked to dedicate am
easement en S.W. 3rd to facilitate the rejoining of 3rd to 23rd.
There is a proposal to start lowering S.W. 3rd from the fini~-h~d
S.W. 23rd and he felt this would cause a safety hazard. Mr.
asked for Co%mcil's consideration of the request that S.W. 3rd be
closed on~a continuing basis. It was noted there were approximately
675 ~ignatures on the petition.

The ~ayor said he was a resident of High Point and stressed the
importance of observing the strength of condominium documents. He
said.when litigation is finished, the Department of Transportation
will pay close to $1 million between the residents of High Point
and te the developer for the recreation lease. Amy cha~es in the
bo~udaries, lends or buildings must be approved by each condominium
and there are five separate entities there now. They must he
approved on a 75% vote of ali the h~me~wners in each section. Re-
gardin§ 3rd Streets when that road is abendoned, it must be desig-
nated~ who ~r howmany will assume the responsibility of the repairs
an~ paying for the lights. He said this was a c~mplex move because
· r
ton~t there is a request fr~m one of the sections that enti ely
maturer f~rther.
Mr. DeLomg observed that just because the street was closed off
at the end, it did not have to be ~f~Tandoned and he knew of no rules
or regula~iens to that effect. The Mayor felt a study wenld have
to be ~u~de as te the legality because of varying viewpoints. Mr.
1~ said his petition was net meant as a retaliation to what was
done in the past. After some further discussion as to legality, Mr.
said he wished to follow the wishes of the people and it was
that a meeting would be held in the downstairs conference
in accordance with Mayor Roberts' suggestions above.
Mr. Angelo _O~sandro, 1930 N.W. 2nd Court, referred to a meeting
he and other citizens had with the Ma~or a month and a half ago on
a petition about Rolling Green Park and ~the traffic conditions in
that area· He said signs have been put up end there have been
radar units, but speeding still continues. Regarding the park, Mr.
~?~sandro said nothing has been done and he ~eferred tea conversa-
tion he had had with Mrs. Jackson last year which res=lted in getting
swings, et~. installed. H~wever, i~ the recent past there has been
a great deal of stealing and vandalism at the park and he. claimed
there was violence end people being stoned in the neighborhood. He
felt someone should be stationed at the par~ from the time school
closes to dusk to protect the children. Mr. ~Sendre said his
family and others have been assaulted and he appealed to C~uncil
for s~me action.
felt there should be a Rowdy Sguad in the City. Mr.
said there are County buses parked in the City park

into the buses at night. He felt these buses did mot belong in a
City park. Mr. Kohl suggested having the B&E Unit spe~d a few
weeks up there and Mr. DeLon~ s~ggested having the School Board
find a location for the buses as the~ should not be pa~ked in
neighborhoods where other ~ehicles of the same type are mot permitted.
Mr. ?Q(.~_~_samdro also asked that the left side of the park, as well
as th~ front be fenced in, as is the right side and the back~ with
a lock so no' one can get in at night; he also asked that someone
with authority be stati~ned there. It was noted that the City
Manager w~r~ld take some action and M~., DeL~A~ requested that Mr.
~sandro return in a few weeks with a report. ~

individual living in the City of Boymtom might have to go to Orlando

believed a local B~ard of Adjustment was being requested rather
than a State Board. He said he attended the State hearings on this

75-Q - Re:
Sidewalks - Plans,
Specifications
Mr. Kohl said he would like to get the sidewalk resolutions going
if possible and he asked the City Attormey if it was necessary to
have the assessment roll at the meeting since Hampshire Gardens
has the money. Mr. Simou said if any property owner is going to
he assessed in. Hampshire Gardens, it has to be included in the
Resolution in any event for the protection of the City to place a
lien on the property i~se they default. Mr. Simon said he has
two Resolutions dealing with necessity as to t~o separate portions
of sidewalk%construction. Mr. Harmeming asked if matters could be
expedited if the corporation at Hampshire Gardens would put the money
in escrow with the City before construction. Mr. Simon suggested
adopting that Resolution at the next meeting and perhaps an arrangement
could be reached prior to the next meeting. When they submit the
funds or revealh~wmuch they have and who it shonld be assessed
against, that schedule.could be prepared and attached to the Resolution
in whatever pro rata basis they want to do it. Mr. DeLong felt that
Hampshire Gardems shield not be treated differently than anyone else
as he had never heard of money being placed in escrow, and Mr. ~m~mening
said he was only try~-ng to expedite the matter. Mr. DeLomg believed
the money was from the people on ~he south side of the main entrance.
Mr. Simon said once the Resolution is passed, it establishes the
date and time of the public hearing and at that time, those that
are effected have the opportunity to be heard. Mayor Roberts asked
if there was any reason why the normal course of action couldn't
he,followed. Mr. Simon said in this particular instance the assess-
ment roll is not available to be included in the Resolution and the
Resolution c~not be adopted without the assessment roll. The Mayor

a representative of Mmmpshire Gardems, Mr. Ecke~ said there were
12 separate corporations. The Mayor and Mr. DeLeng agreed that
the assessmemt roll should he prepare~. Mr. Ecker~ said t~e money
has been appropriated for this coming year~ith a certain amount

Mr. DeLengmoved that the assessment roll be prepared. Mrs. Jackson

then' directs that plams,, specifieatiems amd estimates of the cost

Then the second ~Resoluti~a c~mes forward with those plams amd
specifications, etc., together with a ~Posed roll of assessment.

~epresentatives of the area, ~uch as Mr. Blank, and comeup with

something appropriate. After some further comment among Council,
Mr. Simon explaine~ that Council's motion at the special meetimg
of March 25th called for a Resolution to be pmepared for toniEht's
meeting incorporating the language contm~e~ im the petition submitted
to Council by Mr. Rudy Blank, except that portion referring to the
temporary street. Mr. Simon prepared the Resolution and then
yesterday he received a revision of the petition wit~ the request
that an additional "~Paereas~, clause be added to the Resolution as
prepareS; the source was Mr. Blank. Mr. Simon prepared a second
incorporating s~me of the lamg~age proposed
by Mr. Blank, hut he left out certain portions of the second proposal
in the interest of the City. It was further stated, by Mr. DeLomg
that the Resolution was prepared at the req=est of State Senator
~s, so he could speak in the City's behalf.
Mr. Simon read the most recemt revised draft of proposed Resolution
Ne. 75-~ in its emttrety. Mrs. Ja'ekson moved for the adoption of
Resolution No. 75-U, seconded by Mr. DeLong. Under dispassion Mr.
DeLong felt there was ne reason te be worried about added expense
on the part of the City. He has fo~d that in some cases where
changes are made, the State picks up the taB. He referred to a
highway that has already been buil~ wh/ch was =mkmown to the Co~ty
to accommodate the industrialist over. the track on 17th Avenue;
South Ridge Road has been constr~cted from N.W. 22nd Avenue down
past 17th Avenue. He felt the State Highway Department does make

to be made. Mrs. Pa~dgett called the roll as follows:

promise. The Mayor did not receive an answer, but he did read where
Mr. Blank said it would not solve the problem and the Mayor wished
to have this on record.

OLD BUSINESS
Discuss East & West Thor~fares - C~mcil~ No~--~ Strnad
Before beginning, Mayor Roberts anno=nced for the benefit of the
Planning & Zoning Board that a commenicetion has been received to
the effect that 23rd Avenue will be two-lane for a number of years
because the concrete abutment is only--%4 feet wide at the ~verpass
that it will be only a two-lane road. He referred to
p of the Minutes where there was discussion abont 23rd Avenue
becoming four-lane, however, this will not be in the foreseeable
~uture.
Mr. Strnad said on the west side of 15th Avenue, he was amazed to
see that nothimgwas beillg done in the Leisnreville area. He learned
from the Engineering Department that the constrnctioncompany had
put up a pez~formance bond of $1,324,000 for their streets, drainage,
water, sewer, etc. not including anything for the extension of 15th
Avenue. He felt previous Councils were' lax in not seeing that this
was completed at the time when the overpass would be completed. He
has learned from newspaper reports that Campanelli Bros. do not have
the fumds to build the road. Mr. Strnad felt the City should look
to the Conn~ to get this underway or there would be an overpass
there and no place to go.
Mr. Kohl said about three weeks ago he had a meeting with Mr.
ezware, Fred S1 er Herb Ka~,lert. the A ' -
~ ng , ~ . ssmstant County .~m~fneer and
uonnty Engineer respectively, (Tom Clark, Jack Barrett)a~d th~'~e money
for this road was discussed. M~. iei~.iom~i said there was a lack of
sales and he didn't have the money. Messrs. Singer and Ka~lert
said they would advise the Connty C~m~ission. Mr. Kohl said he has

MIWJTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEET1%~G
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
APRIL 1, 1975
Mr. Strnad asked if there was any target date for it to be completed
at the same time as the overpass amd Mr. Kohl said mo. Mr. DeLong
felt Hr. K0hl sheuld contact Mr. Medlen about this matter, s~mce Mr.
Johnson is from another district. The Mayor said his ~nderstanding
was that the C~anty would complete 15th Avem~e to Congress and he
agreed that the City should make its feelings known to Mr. Medlen.
Mr. Strmad said he found a letter dated August 23, 1973 addressed
to Mr. Herb Ka~lert, County from Mr. Kohl. regarding the
maintenance and improvements 2~md 23rd
Avenue, which he read. He then read Mr. ~ reply to Mr.
Kohl dated September 20, 1973 stating that these two streets are
mot considered to be ~n the Palm Beach County network and fall
within the City's jurisdiction. Ir'was suggested that if Council
wishes to s~pport the request, a Resolution be sent to the County
C~mmissiem for consideration. Mr. Strnad asked what action Council
took at the time a~d he cenld not find any resolution. Mrs. Jackson
said no action was taken and she would like te see 1~. 22nd and S.
lard Avenues remain City Street~ se they wo~ld be maintained preper~y.
At the time ef the e~res~onde~ce im question, Mrs. Jackson said
she understood 23rd was a ~County Roa~-amd she didn't discover until
later that it was ~ot. )Ir. Strnad felt the ,Ce~ty sh~lld be advised
of the City's wishes to keep t~e roads or sand a Resolution otherwise.
The Mayor requested .this be dis~us~ed at the next Cennc~l meeting.
Mr. Harmening explained that a~ the. time there was some question as
to wha= belonged to~e County and what belonged to the City.
Council discussed at length the question of what was County and
what was City. Hr. Clark, City Engineer, said to his knewledge
22nd is City right of way fr~ 1-95 overpa~s eas~t to ~.S.i. The
DOT will maintain the bridge but he f~lt the City weuld maintain
the portion east to U,S. 1%mless the County takes it over. He
added that there is a th~agkfare plan being prepared by the County
and some of it is consist.e..nt with the West Pm]m ,Beach Urban Area
Transportation Study and mt prabab~y calls for four lanes. The DOT
Plan shows another two-lane bridge that i~ net now existent across
1-95. There was further discussion .during ~whie~ Mrs. Jackson said
she felt the reason for contacting ~e Cou~t~ at the time was to
determine whether or not the streetM belonged ~o the City. Mr.
DeLong felt if the County owned the 'street~, they should be put
in good order before the City takes them o~er.
Mr. R. B. Vastine, President of the United Boynton Civic League,
spoke in behalf of the latter group. He felt that the question of
15th Avenue was a critical problem and he appealed to Council to
compel someone to get 15th Avenue C~mpleted ~from the overpass to
Congress. Mayor Roberts agreed and felt Co~-~_ssiomer Medlen should
be contacted for a co-~[tment one way er the other.

Biscuss First Aid Station at t~ublic Beach - Vice Ma~or Joe DeLonK
Hr. DeLong felt a City the size of Boynton Beach should have an
appropriate and decent first aid station at the public beach to
handle the crowds of people using the beach amd he requested Council's
utmost consideration to get the first aid station built. The Mayor
a~ked whereabouts and Mr. DeLong felt Mrs ~ Jackson w~uld agree that
the building she was talking about isn't the place for it and it
should be torn down. He then read a letter from the Town Mama§er
of Ocean Ridge to Hr. Kohl regarding the City's request for a
variance to b~ild a first aid station within the dune lime setback
on a public beach which was denied at Oceen Ridge's Regular Meeting
of the Town C~ission, March 17, 1975. Hr. DeImmg referred to a

until it heard f~om Ocean Ridge as far 'as the granting of the

Mr. De-Long referred to Edward J. D~Bartolo & Associates and felt
the City should go oR record and invite these people to petition

income for the City of Beynton Beach. Mr. DeLong moved that the
City contact the developer, DiBartolo & Associates and invite them
to petition for annexation into the City, stressing that the City

not be a hazard. The City is goimg to put a stacking lane itself
in there and this should be 'done witb~ the next two or three weeks
on 23rd Avemue at the coTmer of Seaerest which Council voted upon.
Fir. DeLong said this shonld be done where necessary, even if it means

seconded. Motion carried 5-0.
Mayer Roberts said he was still interested in keeping the merit
increases at a limit, however, 5e felt the matter should ride until
the budget hearings when everyone cam take a hard look at it. Mr.
DeLong said he has done some study and the City Manager should continue
at the present rate , but come up with something as an alternate plan.
He reviewed some figures, illHstrating hew these increases do compound.
Mr. DeLong said if this procedure is going to be delayed until budget
time, he would move to instruct the City M~nager in conjunction with
the Personnel Director to come up with a more solidified plan that
would be less costly to the taxpayer.
Mayor Roberts said he had not proposed any plan. He had suggested
putting a cap on the present plan. Mrs. Jackson suggested giving

ADMINISTRATIVE
Consider Approval of Ch,rter World Lease A~greememt
Mr. Kohl said the basis of this agreement is to protect the City's
interest in the waste treatment facilities (both interim type and
long range, i.e., the Interlocal Agreement) in such a menner that
the City complies with the inv'.ired regulatory agencies' requirements,
and that the Developer, Charter World, executes its obligations to
connect into the Regional Plant at sach time as the plant is able to
accept waste fr~m Charter World. As conditions now exist, Charter
World has a Palm Beach County Health Department approval of their
Interim Waste Treatment Plant and P~mping Station with a capacity
of 500,000 gallons per day. This capacity allows 970 connections
or less if the volumetric capacity is reached prior to reaching the
970 connections. In order to meet the agreement requirements,
Charter World or its successors wo~ld be required to install a
pressure line to pump waste water into the Regional Plant at such
date as the Regional Facility was operative. To execute this will
cost $20,000.00 per the estimate. Of ~their engineers, Black Crowe
& Eidsness. Therefore Charter World is prepared to put up a cash
bond of $20,000.00 to performance of this work' at such time
as the City notifies W~rld.
If development proceeds to a point where more treatment capacity
is required and the Regional Plant is fumctional, then this cash
bond would be replaced by a new bond, or by execution and/or partici-
pation in cost of whatever work is ~necessary to serve the entire
development at its ultimate and connect it into the Regional
Plant with all City being furnished. If the Regional
~lant is not functional at that time, then Charter World will have
to meet all Regulatory Agenci~es and City Reguirememts to expand the
treatment capacity, including ~ond~ requirements. Ail of this is
subject to approval by thel Agencies involved after it is
acted upon by the City Beach. Mr. Kohl said

OTHER
Funds Needed to C~mplete S.W. 15th Avenue Parr
Mr. Kohl said this was the two ball parks for Little League. Funds
for this project have been depleted. Additional sod and fencing
are needed. City Council allocation for construction was $125,000,
however, Finance Department records indicate only $122,000 recorded
on the ledgers. Additional fnnding is needed as follows:
1. $3,000 to adjust the $125,800 allocation.
2. $4,630.00 to cover existimg over-expenditures due
te error in recording of rumning expenditures.
The total needed to pay for existing expenditures is $7,630.00.
The additional sod and fencing material costs are as follows
(estimated):
1. $1,800 to complete the o~tfield sedding.
2. $6,300 to complete femcing of both fields with 6 Ft.
chain link at 1,500 lineal feet.
Total of the above is ~,100 and the above items will complete the
development of the two ball fields. Overall completion of the park
area will require additional work and funding. Projects which
shonld be continued include marking of all parking areas, general
landscaping of overall area to include seeding and tree planting
and sign posting. As an alternative to f~anding through~mappropriated
surplus or contingency account, consideration should be given to
redesignating part or all of the $I5,000 currently budgeted for bike-
ways. The majority of these funds are for S.W. 23rd bikeway con-
nection, however, work is not projected until 1-95 overpass is com-
pleted which probably won't be dene in this fiscal year; funds for
bikeways could be re-budgeted for 'the next fiscal year. Mr. DeLong
felt there was no problem and the City Manager could use ~is judgment
as to which funds to use. After seme discussion regarding the
merits of the project Mr. Kohl asked for permission to bring back
to Council at the next meeting the accounts used for th~s purpose
and he wished to proceed with the work.
Mrs. Jackson moved to allow the City Mamager to use the funds as
he sees fit for the above project, with a full report to City Council.
Mr. DeL~ng seconded. Mr. Kohl said~the City is doing the sod and
there was~omediscnssion about the quality of the sod. Motion
carried 5-0.
