Other
~ayor Jackson asked ~r. ~l~ ~ ~ w~ be wise to move ~ ,~e~
two items om ~e ~ .~er to ~he next Ce~eil -- Br~
Water Contract and Si~nin~ of the Lease. After some discussion, it
was decided that Ma~or Jackson should be involved in the final action
as she had worked on this.
Consider Water Contract - Briny Breezes
Mr. Wallace clarified with Mr. Simon that this was a S-year rather
than a 1-yea~ contract. He su~q~sted Sm view of the wa~er and sewer
p~oblems facin~ the City and tho ~ses in rates that this contract
be on a 1-year basis and that t_his be the case for any of the satellite
co~ties. He also asked t~ the contrac~ specifically state that
should the~e for any reason be an increase in any of the charges to
the residents of the City, these eon~racts to the satellite areas also
incorporate those same incx~%ses if and when they come about. Mr.
DeLonq agreed due to the info~mation Council had received that the
present rates may not be adequate enough~
Fir. Robez~cs thought this had been brought up the other night and that
some provision h~d been made in the contract regarding ra~es. M~.
Smmon said the p~o¥1slons xn thms contract regardlr~.rate. _pr~ov. lde
fo~ a per unit basis based upon the.rates set forth in Resolution
No. 75-XXX, the most recent resolution adopted. This resolution
fu~0ther p~ovides f~r ~uch rates as may hereafter be adopted by Reso-
lution o~ Ordinance.
A~ter some further discussion, Fn~. Wallace moved that the contract
be amended to be on<a 1-year basis, ineludin~ those items as discussed.
Mr. DeLong seconded. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Simon then read the Water Supply Contract between the City of
Boynton Beach and Briny Breezes.
Mr. Harmening moved for the adoption of this contract, seconded by
Mr. DeLong with the inclusion by the City Attorney to have the proper
City authorities authorized to si~n and eonsuammate the agreement.
Mr. Simon said he had prepared a Resolution to that e~fect and Mr.
DeLong felt it wouldn't hurt to also have the provision included in
the agreement itself. There was no other discussion. Motion carried
5-0.

Approval Requested to Sign Lease
Mr. Wallace reviewed the contents of Mr. Kohl's letter for the agenda
to which a copy of s lease was attached between the City of Boynton
Beach and James & Rose P. Hopkins for warehouse space at 905 North
Railroad Avenues for a total amount of $2~520.00 per year.
Since the City is in dire need of storage space for equipment, Mr.
Kohl requested approval to continue with the lease.
Mr. Wallace moved to grant this approval and adopt the lease if every-
thing was in order, seconded by Mr. Harmening. No discussion. Motion
carried 5-0.
OLD BUSINESS
Consider Recommendation of the Board of Trustees of the Employees
Pension Plan (Tabled)
Mr. Wallace ~oved th-remove this item from the table, seconded by Mr.
DeLong. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0.
Pre~acing consideration of this item, Mayor Jackson noted that she had
been Chairman of the Pension Board this past year, during which time
the above plan had been worked on. P~. John Gable from Retirement
Pla~s, Inc., Cleveland, had been do~zn to the City in June and November
end gave his recommendations to the Pension Board, copies of which
were included With the back-up material before Council in the agenda
books.
Mr. DeLong requested that this item be tabled as he felt a request
such as this could open up a "Pandora's box~' and set up a little
political o~ganization and cause a run on the City's pension fund i~
the Council didn't take a little more interest and study as to how
this should be set up. His reason for saying this was that he had not
given this an in depth ~tudy in every facet presented. He felt from
past experience in having worked with pension plans that there was a
glaring error in this plan. Mr. DeLonghad no objections to the Board
of Trustees approving a disability pension, but in view of the fact
that the Board of Trustees does not have the expertise to detemm~ne
the. aCtual, existence of a permanent disability~ Mr. DeLong submitted
mnfo~matmon from a well established existingpension plan as an example,
which he then read.
~INU~ES OF REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH~
FLORIDA, HELD AT CITY HALL~ MONDAY, JANTdARY 7~ 1974.
Mr. DeLong said he was trying to protect the taxpayers of the City
and he didn't think there was anything wrong, unfair or unreasonable
in having people comply to p~ove through raedical examination they
are tz~dly entitled to a disability pension. For this reason, Mr.
DeLong felt this item should be again tabled because he had a recommenda-
tion to make later on in this meeting regarding the City's entire pen-
sion system. He requested that those who moved and seconded to remove
this item from the table withdraw their actions.
Mr. Wallace felt in view of the fact that the Mayor specifically re-
quested this item be pieced on the agenda for action this evening~
he wished to have someone else place it on the table again. Mayor
Jackson explained that she had asked to have this matter considered
tonight because the Pension Board had worked on it for some time. She
had requested Mr. Roberts to work ~rith the Board, but this never
~materi~.l~zed. Discussion ensued regarding whether the matter should
~De considered now rathe~ than in the n~xt session this even.in.g~ followed
Dy a motion from M~. Wallace that it be acted upon at this time.
Mayor Jackson said she had no objection if the plan was considered
later on in the meeting, but she felt something should be done after
having been worked on for a year. Mr. DeLong agreed there should be
some action but he didn't want to be ~ushed into anything without
proper study. After ~urther discussion~ Mr.~ Robez~s moved to place
this item further down on the agenda under '~X - ~EW B~$INESS:~ item
Comments by 1974 Mayor and City Council Members~'. Mr. Harmening
seconded. There was no discussion. Motion carried 5-0.
Consider Final Approval of Oriole-Pastel Plat -(Shaker Heights)
Mr. Kohl clarified 'that this was now .kn.o%~n as Shaker Heights. Council
reviewed his letter for the agenda which stated that the Technical
Review Board and Planning and Zoning Board gave final approval for this
~.ubdivision at meetings of December 21, 1975. ~ubdivision is exactly
n? s. ame as approved for preliminary, except .thgt S.E. 22nd Street
cu33n~nates in a cul-de-sac instead of continuing through to S.E. ~4th
Avenue unti. 1 the developer of the south tract opens up S.E. 54th Avenue.
The preliminary and final~ development plans wer~ in the hands of the
City Manager and they have been revised in accordance with the recom-
mendations of the P&Z Board and the Technical Review Board.
The City Engineer has approved the estimate for performance bond in
the amount of $~2~, 000.00. Percolation tests indicate by computations
made by the developer's engineers and the City Engineer that drainage
will not be a problem. Mr. Kohl said he n~; had the final plat and
everything is in order for the final reading of the ordinance if Council
so approves.
Mr. DeLong referred to his earlier request that the streets to be put
in this area would be specific on the plats and he asked if anything
was done about this. City Engineer, Tom Clark~ said it was his under-
standing that a cul-de-sac was requested untilthere is additional

BEACH~ FIDRIDA~ HELD AT CITY HALL, MONDAY~ JANUJh~Y 7, 1974.
construction on the adjacent property. Mr. Clark then reviewed the
plat with Council. Mr. DeLong wanted to be certain that the cul-de-sac
was temporary so there would be no land-locking.
Mr. Roberts asked if the final plat has been approved by the County and
all necessary agencies. Mr. Barrett explained that this was only up
for first reading and the County doesn't give approval until it's been
approved and signed by the appropriate City officials.
Mr. Wallace asked if Mr. Barrett saw any problems regarding the cul-de-
sac as compared to past experiences and Mr. Baz~ett said no since there
is a developer to the south of this tract that is considering developing
s~ud provisions would be m~de by both parties to join the roads and the
cul-de-sac would then come out. It was clarified that there was a pro-
viso on the plat to this effect.
Mr. Wallace moved to approve the first reading of final Shaker Helght~
plat (Oriole-Pastal)~ seconded by Mr. DeLong. No discussion. Motion
carried 5-0.
Ordinance No. 74-1 - Re: Approval of Plat - Shaker Heights
M~. Simon read Ordinance No. 74-1 -- An Ordinance of the City of Boynton
Beach~ Florida, Approving Plat of Shaker Heights, etc.
Mr. Hazvaening moved for the adoption of Ordinance No. 74-1 on first
reading, seconded by Mr. Wallace. Under discussion~ it was clarified
t~at the performance bond was estimated to be $~2~000. Mr. DeLong
qqesti~ned the exact location of the cul-de-sac end Mr. Ba~ett
c~arifzed that nothing could be done until the adjacent property was
d.~veloped and there is presently talk of developing same. Mrs. Padgett
cOnducted the roll call vote as follows:

and circumstances, and especially the functional status of the local
government wherever needed.
~he City has been turned around by the policy of the immediate
past City Council from a City of regression to a City of progress with
economy, thereby cutting loose the millstone of lack of direction that
hung so heavily around the City's neck. The advancements are an ex-
ample of Council teamwork, aided by the contributions of the City
Manager and various department heads. The ~3-ring circus~ atmosphere
of previous Council meetings is wearing thin -- so are the smoldering
feuds and bitter personal attacks byCouncil members upon each other.
The City is finally acquiring a fitting and proper image. Even the
morale of the City employees has reached a nev~ plateau. Let's keep it
that way. The stor~ that anything is good enough for Boynton Beach is
changing. The taxpayer is charged top dollar for everything the City
buys end should settle for nothing less than top value in return. The
Coney Island atmosphere wherever it exists must be permanently elimina-
ted.
Out City officials with an assist from the Chamber of Commerce
and .other local Civic organizations must continuouslyendeavor to
establish and maintain a City-wide attractiveness. This will encourage
Boynton Beach residents to remain here~ the better type of developer
to build here and the non-residents seeking new surroundings to locate
here. Many local buyers of new homes are up in az~ns. They find them-
selves in a state of despair due to the false or unkept promises by
those whom they purchased their homes from. The unscrupulous developer
or contractor must be outlawed. Council should adopt legislation re-
quiring the buyers of all newly constructed dwellings to submit a notice
of acceptance before a certificate of occupancy is issued. Ail general
contractors should be required to post a $100 deposit before a building
permit is granted to defray the cost for the removal of trash they
leave for the City to cleanup.
Many of our folks are concerned about the construction of a
public'~otT~~ course. Others are interested in bicycle paths or
neighborhood tennis courts: and so it goes. Gentlemen, you take it
from here. Our City employees are on a par with the best and deserve
the best and are entitled to the p~otection of disability pension
provisions. The employees' pension system is in need of a comprehen-
sive survey. It appears retirement benefits are meager. It is essen-
tially unfair to expect any employee who has devoted a lifetime serving
the public to atten~t to barely exist on a pittance when retired. The
services of a eompstent actuary should be engaged in o~der to upgrade
the presen~ pension plan.
A much discussed and necessary improvement is the proposed bus
~eeder lines within the City connecting with the anticipated County
~ransportation system. The lack of sufficient beach pa~king space
requires a review of Boynton Beach property in Ocean Ridge in order
to determine if it can be utilized for parking. A group of citizens
are interested in Council appointment of a housing authority~ selecting

C
members with compassion who will provide for the relocation of those
who may be forced to vacate their homes. The stre~ situation ~s one
of daily Conversation: pointing to the dire necessity for widening,
drainage and resurfacing~ providing also for left and right turning
lanes at busy intersections with priorities at N.E. 10th Avenue and
Seacrest Blvd. ~ throughout the entire City 'limits and all east to west
roads.
~nder t~h~ City Manager's direct supervision, City services have
impr. oved and~5~ntin~e to do.so when new: much needed equipment is
deiivered. The recommendation fo~ annexation by Councilman Wallace
must he implemented. It is also suggested, the City Council and
Planning & Zoning Boa~d agree, on a plan for a wester~ Cit-j boundar~
limit to be submitted to ~he voters for referendum. ~any inquiries
are received regarding a public auditorium. I believe if the City
Manager cOntacts all org-~nizations in Boynton Beach, civic, fraternal
and so forth: requesting one volunteer from each, ready to sex~e on
a City Auditorium Committee chaired by Councilman Wallace: perhaps
this objective can th~n be achieved.
We must attract compatible and suitable industry to locate in
Boynton Beach. A City of any consequence is comprised of the

I wish to assure each member of the Council I am fully cognizent
our Council is a 5-member Council and I shall always continue to accept
and respect the decisions of the majority of any quorum, in an expand-
ing city such as ours, it is an all hands job to ~ep ahead. There is
an acute need for each Counailmember's ideas, suggestions and recomme~

plis.hments you have p~oven you-ca~ cope very capably with all situations.
Let us cent/hue to be united and so doing help to make our City the
gem of the Gold Coast, Thank you for your patience and k/nd indulgence. '~
Going by longevity of each individual Counci3~member~ Mayor DeLong called
upon each for his comments,
Mr. Wallace said it was an honor and a p~ivilege to he serving for
another year. He then asked to have item "E. Project '74" moved up on
the agenda so he could speak about it now. He said the previous
Council laid the g~undwork fora the feasibility of having an a~ditorium
in Boynton Beach~ He .has t~ied to d~elop a questionna/_~e to be sent
to all organizations within the City. These letters will alSo be
available to any citizens of the City who wish to make a contribution.
Mr. WaTlace then reviewed the questions included in the questionnaire
regarding the desirability, location and f~nding of an auditorium, as
well as the type of committee necessamy to make this an ongoing propo-
sition for the City of Boynton Beach. PI~o Wallace spoke about the
g~owt/% in the City~ adding that an attempt will be made to bring the
City's employees' wages in line with those of other municipalities
in the area. He alSo specified the importance of improving the sewer
and water systems.
Mr. ~oberts spoke next and thanked the citizenmy fo~ e!ect/ng him to
another term. He felt that Boynton Beach has remained one of the fe~
desirable com~runities in the area with more people~/~_o~.i~ in. He felt
the City did not need skyscrapers or undes/mabt~ ~ to attract
g~owth. He felt the City eo~d use sOn%e business and clean ir~ustry i~
keeping with the ideas suggested ~ Mayor DeLong. M~. Roberts expressed
his appreciation to the efforts o~ ~ayor DeLong and the outgoing Mayor,
Mms. Jackson. He felt confident that this Council would b~%ndle the
p~ob!ems presented in 1974 in a beneficial m~ner for the City,
Mr. Harmening spoke next and thanked the citizenry for its many forms
of help. He felt it would continue to be a pleasure and an honor

Adopt Rules of Order
Mr. Roberts moved to continue with Roberfs Rules of O~der. Mr. Wallace
seconeed and noted that it should be Robert's Rules of Order Revised,
Otherwise the Chairman would have no vote. There was also clarification
that the City Attorney would be the pariiamenta~ian of the City Council.
Motion carried 5-0.
Before proceeding with the appointments to Boards and Committees, Mr.
ROberts moved that the Council allow one member to serve on One board
at a time thereby allowing more people to become involved and also not
place anyone under a burden so a better job can be dOne. Mr. Strnad
seconded. Under discussion, Fn~. Roberts ~elt there should be an
exception of extenuating circumstances.
The motion was rephrased to the degree that anyone serving on a board
at the present time that is going to be eliminated within the near
fmture would be p~ivileged to accept an appointment on another board.
O~hez~ise no one can serve on two boards at one time. Mr. Wallace
noted the example of one individual on the Cemetery Board who is being
named an alternate on another Board. He felt such an individual should
have a choice of which board he wished to serve on. Mr. Roberts ad-
Vised that the man in question had already indicated a desire to serve
on the Cemetez~; Board alone. Motion carried 5-0.
