because 0f the sewer moratorium. MB. Smith asked what relief could
be given to bis client in light of recent developments wherein the
Department of Pollution Control lifted the moratorium somewhat in
West Palm Beach because of good faith compliance.
Mayor DeLong noted that in addition to the State moratorium, Boynton
has a problem at its own sewer plant. M~. Kohl said he had planned
to check into the situation further to see how recent developments
a~fected Boynton Beach~ but he cou/d not offer Fir. Smith any hope.
After further discussion du~ing which Mayor DeLong noted Council's
approvel of Mr. Smith's project: Mr. Leonard Smith came forward and
said that he had met all the necessary .requirements prior to Novem-
ber 28th and he questioned the approval that had been given to other
developers. Mayor DeLong noted that no one could be given permis-
sion to hook into the City's sewers because of the moratorium placed
on it by the Health Department due tothe problem at its plant, which
must be cleared up. It was clarified that the only permits being
granted were to those who ~ent to the County for permission to use
a septic tank providing ability to hook into the sewer lines could
be established if they are installed where the property is located,
within a specific period of time (2 years).

Mr. Roberts asked if a correction was made in the reading of $90~000
to $1~000 and Mr. Simon said yes. P~. Roberts asked in regard to
dispensing with bidding on emergencies -- the ordinance says .~. to
secure the most advantageous purchase for the City ..o whieh would be

Mr. Stz~aad moved to adopt Emergency Ordinance No. 74-10, seconded by
Mr. Roberts for discussion purposes. Mr. Robe~cs said he is not
hesitant since the City has had an emergency and he is well awa~e
that the City could wind up with some serious problems if hands were
tied and equipment could no~ be purchased. He felt the Co~ncit and
City Manager both or at least .with the consent of the Council, any
problems could be handled. He felt it was perhaps not necessary to
write in any method used 'by the City Manager, however, if the City

might be desirable~ He asked if Mr. Simon felt this Or~linance was

Legal Opinion - Re: Assessment for Sanitary Sewers - N.E. 7th Avenue
Mr. Simon said he reviewed this matter with M~. Kohl. He said it was
his understanding that in pe~thistory, these extensions have always
been paid for by the City with contemplated reimbursement to the City
whenever they were tapped into or hooked onto. The assessment
procedure, while being inconsistent with the past~ is still supportable
by the law and by the Charter. It's ~ matter of what City Council de-
sires as to what course it wishes to pursue. Custom has dictated one
thing~ but Council is supportable by law. It can go either way.

1975 in which the Council approved the Building Permit and
Site Plan .for Mr. Pmeidi~uh ~d since you state: 'that the
first building permit wa~ issued September 21, 1972 and
completed ~Lay 5, 1975, an~d Mr. Preidi~sch is now mak/ng
an application for a Building Permit for the second building,~
I would tb/nk that inasmuch as ten (10) month,-has elapsed
since the completion of the first building, that this is
not a ' continuing project'.
In my opinion Council's perm/ssion for this as a continu-
ing pmojeet~ me,ut ~continuing with the building, one after
the other', because at this rate we could still continue
with the old density on a period of four (4) years.
I understand that Mm. Preidit~d~ has a septic tank permit
for the second building and if Council approved this as a
'continuing project', then a building permit couiid be issued
regardless of tI%e existing sewer moratorium.~
Fro. LOUIs Preidits~h, 800 Canary Walk, Gulfstream~ noted that the
letter just read referred to continuous operation. He said if the City
Council would continue with the approval given to Mr. Preiditsch in
February, 197R and the City ~ianager would put on a one-year completion
date for the balance of this project, he would be w~ling to go along
With that. If this project was not completed within one year, he
would take his losses. Under the approval given earlier, there was no
date specified. It wasn't the ~aet that he was not going to build~ it
was just that he was tied up. He expta/ned that his project was no~
a condominium: but a rental unit and therefore the increased costs ~
interest, etc. could not be passed on to the purchaser.
Mr. Preiditsch explained that he was trying to keep rents d~aq and
his. tenants were all under 50 years old. He asked for Council's con-
sideration in being permitted to continue with the building of these
units $ Mr. Preidi~d~ recapped the many delays he has experienced
since December~ 1971 and said if Council will consider the fact that
he Will put a date on completion of one year from the issuance of this
one permit, he will complete or not complete the balance of this
project.

MINUTES OF REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING'OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH:
FLORIDA: HELD AT CIT~ HALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 19~ 1974.
Request for Sidewmlks - Leisureville
Mr. Kohl read a letter addressed to Council dated March 12, 1974
from Mr. William L. Scholz~ President of the Leisureville Condominium
Apartment Association~ requesting a concrete sidewalk on the north
side of Ocean Drive between Lek~ Terrace and Congress Avenue ~ with
a Parking area between the sidewa/k and existing road to provide extra
paz~cing for the Leisureville golfers.
Mayor DeLong noted that the group was going to go shead initially with
the blacktop sidewalk in lieu of a co~crete sidewalk es there was too
much delay in ~vaiting for the concrete. Upon reconsideration, the
situation has changed again. Mayor DeLong ssid certsin statements in
the letter needed clarification regarding the proposed sidewslk on
the south side and if this is in the recorded plat, the developer
will put it in. However, the City doesn,t have a sidewalk ordinance
at the present time.
Mr. Barret~ advised that this is a dedicated street to the City of
Boynton Beach and the property that fronts it on which a sidewalk is
requested is not owned by Boynton West as the letter states, but
by W. T. Lassiter. Since there is no sidewalk' oz~inance, the City
can only request the owner to build a sidewalk. Mayor DeLong felt
that it should be left to the City Manager to request the owners of the
property tO comply with the request of the residents of Leisur~ville.
Mr. Simon Ryder, 2579 S.W. 15th Avenue, resident of Leisureville, felt
~here was a definite need for this sidewalkwhichwould permit pedestri-
an access for the residents to.the Leisureville shopping ~enter 9~thout
going out on the roadway and that it was time to adopt a sidewalk
ordinanee in the City due to its ~owing trend. He felt that by
requesting the owner to provide a sidewalk, the City wouldn't get
very fa~. If there is a sidewalk ordinance and the p~operty owner
is ordered to put in a sidewalk and doesn't do it, the City do~s it
on contract and assesses the property owner. He felt that a sidewalk
should be required wherever new homes are built as well as in well
frequented areas in the interest of public safety.
Mayor DeLong agreed that it was time for a sidewalk ordinance~ however,
he elt mt should pertamn only t? newly developed pro3ects. He felt
it would he impractical to make it retroactive and Mr. Ryder said it
should be on the hooks~so that even though a home was built some time
ago, the City would have power to proelsim an area in violation of
public safety and order a sidewalk built.
Mr. Roberts asked what the top organization was in Leisureville and Mr.
Ryder pointed out that the letter read tonight was from the Leisureville
Condominium Apartment Association~ however, there is also a Leisureville
Homeowners Asso~.iation. He said the apartment owners were nearer to
the area in question, but the sidewalk was necessary for all the
residents. ~ir. Ryder said he l~ked to feel that the Board of Directors
of the Leisureville Association represented all the residents and not
- 14 -

just the apartment dwellers. He said the prime organization is the
Leisureville Con~nunity Association and the Board of Directors do
represent the entire development.
Mayor DeLong said the Council was here to serve everyone and he felt
the C~ty Attorney should make a search insofar as what type of a side-
walk ordinance would be most suitable and cause the least amount of
problems.
Mr. Simon asked for some guidance as to whether it was for the purpose
of asseSsment ?n_d after some general discussion~ Council advised that
it would be mainly ~or the new areas to be developed.
Fir. Ryder said that traditional_ly~ the homeowner is made responsible
for a sidew ~a~[~? one of the rea~ns is that it saves the municipality
the c.ost of building and maintain%ng it. Another reason would he that
the City woutdn~t incur responsibility for injury by the people using
the sidewalk -- therefore, the sidewslk does not legally belong to the
City 4
Mayor DeLong said wherever the City inst~]Is sidewalks insofar as pub-
lie property is concerned where the City has the right of way on the
street abutting private property, the owner is always assessed for the
insta!lation~ He added that the City Attorney would make a search
and come up with something appropriate.
Mro Roberts said it would seem to him that when there is a new develop-
ment and there is a dedicated street~ it is usus] ]y paved only to the
width of 24 feet end usually the right of way is a minimum of 50 feet°
He felt there was a lot of latitude or space in there for sidewalks~
If there couldn't be a sidewalk on both sides o~ the street, there
should be at least one for the safety of pedestrians.
A~ter some further comment~ it was decided that the matter would be left
in the hands of the City Attorney.
Consider Replacement of Packer ~9
Mr. Kohl noted that there was a fire in Packer ~9 which was previously
appraised at only $2~000 -- therefore, it was not a great loss due to
its poor condition beforehand. He said after it burned up, he had
to act fast to get a new front end packer. After much phone calling,
he obtained one from P~ich Motors for the quoted price of $38,593.00 end
asked that the Council approve purchase of this item. The funds are
coming out of the Emergency Insurance Progra~which has been in exis-
tence ~or several years and there is au amount of approximately
$55,000 in that fund.
Mr. Roberts asked if this came under the Emergency Ordinanee just
adopted and Mayor DeLong said yes. Mr. Simon said a precedent is
being set and that before approval is granted: Council should declare
- 15

Director of the Boynton Beach Child Care Center requesting a

infants and children to the age of three

Discuss Insurance Coverage for the City
Mr. Kohl said at the time of the recent fire to the garbage paeke~, he
was looking through the. files in regard to fi~e insurance fo~ the
City and it came to his attention that the City only has
bodily injury coverage. He was disturbed as ~e had. assumed the coverage
would be $I million and he refei~ed Couzqcil to correspondence before
them from Ray Allen, Insurance Agent, who caz~ies the City's insu~anoe.

injury aggregate per one person~
He said at one time the City was allocating $?,500.00 in the budget
every year to be applied for emergency self-i~suratee and Mr. Kohl
said he would like to continue with this pro,am. In which case~ he
would not feel that the City has to provide for .compreher~ive and
col]~sion on its equipment inasmuch as this $Y,500.00 wi3~ build up
quite a go°d amount in the self-insurance program. Funds ~or the

mendation. He added that Ca~ No. 21 has 79,524 miles on it and
Car No. ~2 has 85~70 miles and the City has two new POlice cars

Consider Request of Lions Club
Mr. Kohl read the letter he received dated March 14, 1974 from Mr.
Dennis C. Olson~ Secretary of the Lions Club as follows:
"We are aware that there is a problem conce~the Lions
Bench advertising pro,ram. These benches are on a yearly
contracec with each advertiser. We therefore make the
following offer to correct the situation, and earnestly
solicit the city's help and consideration.
We have stopped accepting any new orders or renewals.
As the contracts expire, we will remove the benches from the
city. The benches do have a definite value and we there-
fore offer the city the option o~ buying what benches
that might be of use to the public for $20.00 each~
- 18 -
M/h~/TES OF REGULAR CITY COUNCIL I~ETING OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH,
FLORIDA, HELD AT CITY HALL, T~ESDAY, MARCH 19~ 1974.
As you know The Lions Club is the major organization promoting
and suppozt-ing eyesight preservation, and restoration~ and
oum fund raising programs enable us to spend many thousands
of dollars in the area.
Thsnk you for your consideration.
Mr. Kohl concurTed with the above recommendation and requested
Council' s approval to proceed.
~iayor DeLong said Vice Mayor Roberts has done some research on this
and he asked for the approximate amount of the benches that would be
purchased at $20.00 apiece. Mm. Roberts said he had started to do
a little ~esea~eh and this letter must have been the result of a few
complaints. He refer~ed to two benches in the middle of the sidewalk
and felt that someone might trip over them and sue the City. He
picked up the franchise agreement which he felt should be made known
because the action Council takes may depend on this particular agree-
menu. There are six sections to the agreement and Mr. Roberts said
as far as he could see, a]] but one have been violated over the last
15 yeems. The main one is insumance to indemnify the City against
claims and also gives the City the ~ght to ter~lnate the agreement
upon 10 days notice in w~iting -- which probably should have been done
years ago.
Also, the benches should have been in good repair according to the
ag, reement and they neve.r have-been. Mr. Roberts noted a se.rios' of
pictures which were aVazlable depicting the deplorable conditions ~
including at least 15 broken benches with no backs and some concrete
bases which were all smashed. Mr. Roberts noted that the benches a~e
on a yearly contract with each advertiser end he asked when the eon-
t~acts were up. He felt if those contracts were to be honored ~ the
City should be insistent on the contracts pertaining to insurance. He
also asked what would be done about the broken benches -- and added that
tth~.ey should be removed from the areas in question first, particularly
he state rights of way and the county rights of way as they do not
serve ~ny purpose. Mr. Roberts said if the City intends to purchase
the benches ~ it should be detez~nined how many are needed. He wanted
to know if these benches were allowed to operate without insurance.
A~ter furthe~ discussion, it was decided that the City Manager would
handle this matter administratively and report back to Council.
Consider Change Order No. 2 - Fire Station ~2
Mr. Kohl ss/d this was to furnish ~nd install ceramic tile wainscoting

squea~e feet of tile wainscoting at lavatory in gamage, for the sum

M~. Har~ening. Mr. Strnad asked if overhead and profit were the s~/ae
and Mayor DeLDng said the s~contractor~s fee was $~30,00 and the
~enerat contractor gets the additional $60.00 as overhead and profit.
Mayom DeLong said this was provided for in the contract. Motion
cazTied 4-0.
Consider Expenditure for Repair to Well ~q
Mm. Kohl read his letter fo~ the agenda as follows:
"Please be advised that Well No. 5 is pumping in surges with
very low' flows which could ~amage besmings, etc. This
started Saturday night, March 9th. J. P. Carroll, pump
contractor, who has installed and maintained this ~11

'£.nls wl!& cost approximately $2,000.00' and work was
started on Thurs~ay~ Ma~ch 14th. (you were advised
by ~mo~andum on Friday of this ~act).
In view of the c~itical water shortage, the above pro-
posed work shoul~ el/~nate the problem so that this well
can be returned ~o semvice with increased flow.
Due to the specialized and emergency nature of the work
which is funded under budget item 6120-282 (Repair to
Raw Water Lines and Wells ), I reco~nend that J. P. Ca, roll
be authorized to do this work. ~?
Mr. Kohl requested Council's approval. He added that Well ~4 is
also acting up at this time. He said as soon as Well ~5 (which was
finished today) is completed, he would like approval at the same
time to repair Well ~4. He noted that there h~ bean very little
rainfall and he wanted to keep ~n top of this situation.
Mr. Harmening moved to accept the City Manager's recommendation to
repair Wells ~4 and ~5, seconded by Mr. Roberts. Mr. Strnad asked
if the price would be the same on both wells and Mr. Kohl said yes --
the price would be approximately $2~000.00 and funds were available
in the budget. Motion carried 4-0.
