P~BLIC A~DIENCE
Harry LeFort: 725 Ocean Inlet Drive - complimented M~. Wallace on the way
he conducted the public hearing with Leisureville residents and thanked
the others that attended~ namely~ Mrs. Jackson and M~, Micha~!.
He said he ~s also there to accept Mayor Summers apology for ruling him
out of order at a previous council meeting. ~yor Summers stated when
he found that he was wrong he would apologize if he was wrong and agreed
to take time to look it up.
Robert Beyrer~ Sterling Village made inquiry as to purchase of beach
p~operty. Mayor Summers advised they had not had any work, hops that
allowed time to take up this item. He said their folders are stacked up
with work but they wanted ~o have a workshop to check into this matter.
Eddie Mitchell~ 329 N.E. 12th Ave. - He noted the council had a public
hearing for Leisurevi!le and stated he felt this was very helpful to
those people. He hoped the council will show concern with other groups
as has been shown to Leisureville. There was considerable expense for
this and he inquired as to where the money came from to pay the city's
expense and %~s advised it came from the General Fund.
He then took up subject of drainage in their area. He was concerned that
the black community might not be tied in with 2nd Avenue drainage system.
He felt they were given the run-a-round. He said pipe was running into
the canal.
M~. Michael assured him everything south of the Boynton canal is going
to be hooked to 2nd Avenue and the pipes into the canal was a temporary
a~rangement to give immediate re!ie~ in the area.
Mr. Mitchell further requested the status of what council was doing with
County Commission in reference to IOth Avenue. He said they do not have

patience any more. He urged that the law abiding citizens would not like
to see anything happen that would be deplorable in the City of Boynton
Beach but ~eminded council there are those that are hard to hold down.
He said his g~oup do not want the 70~s to be like the decade just past
and reminded that he will be back if action is not taken.
Ezetl Hester, 1106 N.W. 1st Street - Since Council is interested in the
citizens of this community he wondered just how interested Council ~ealty
is. He is not against citizens moving to Boynton but he is interested in
seeing that the streets alt ove~ the city are repaired~ ..£irst they
told the contractor delayed this because contract was not in order -
then it is only fair to ask when will the contract be in order? ~$aen
will the streets all ove~ town be so the citizens can drive without tear-
lng up their ca~s.
Col. Albert Wehrell~ Boynton Isles - He asked to reinforce M~. Heste~'s
thoughts. He said there was from $50 to $90:000 held over for streets
and this is to be put together with additional funds which he hopes will
solve at least some oC the resurCacing. He urged that the priority list
be started as Cast as money is available.

~SOLUTIONS - No. 70-B - Terminating Fire Hydrant charge
Resolution No. 70-B terminating Fire Hydrant charge was read by City
Attorney. k~s. Jackson said this was complicated and she had received
a phone call from M~. Startzman and asked [~. Startzmana-nd Mr. Miles
to explain it. This was agreed to by Mayor with no objection from coun-
cil.
~. Startzman~ 3035 Pine Tree Lane said he was raised when the sanctity
of a contract meant something. When he read of this in the paper he
said he nearly fell off the chair and called [~rs. Jackson. He explained
his understanding of this $75 charge with Ocean Ridge and said he did
not agree as a taxpayer, as a citizen and as a water and sewer payer.
He said the city should not pass their responsibility to the bondholders
who have taken it at face value. He said this ~fpe of business would not
held the city's bond rating. He doesn't see how the city can discon-
tinue the $75 charge and he vehemently protested the practice. He said
it is done so the city can use the funds in the general fund. He felt
if the city is so flush it can cut off revenue that it should cut cost
of service to taxpayers. If we do not have fire hydrants the insurance
premiums will be higher. He felt the city should keep good credit and
this is done when a city keeps its %~rd.
George Miles, 595 Chapel Hill Blvd., Asked ~. Moore when did council
authorize you to enter into the stipulation you entered into. Is it in
the minutes? }~]r. ~,~oore said it was approved by council. Mr. Miles
stated that as a bond holder he would 9mite a written objection. He
warned that if they go ahead their rating will drop so low they will
never get any more bonds. I will enter formal objection to it.
Mr. l{oore reiterated that this is a part of a court decree; is predicated
on good sense and the debt has been paid; paid in full. This is the
opiniono~ the bond counsel. He restated that this is a formal court
decree. He urged council ~o rest assured they are legally protected~
and if they didn't ~ant to accept his advice that is another thing.
He said Mr. Miles had made threats for years. An argument broke out
and Mr. Michael moved that Res. 70-B be tabled because there is a long
agenda. Motion seconded by Mm. Wallace. Mr. Nylund urged that the
Council go ahead and pass this.
Mr. ~,bore said he had attempted to clarify this and it is administrative
decision; that this culminated a long argxnnent between Ocean Ridge and
City o~ Boynton Beach. He said ~his particular charge goes into the
charge from general taxpayers and comes out as surplus funds. He said
he felt tabling this is in order.

on c~nflict of interest. She said she prefe~ed that it be made into

Reduction o~ Performance Bonds - Sec. ! g II - Leisurevi!te - Acting
City P~nager~ Harold Hopkins stated there was only one item insofar as
he is concerned in maximum amount of $2500. that still should be taken
care of.
Mr. Wallace read from a lette~ to Mr, Escha~te regarding ~lOOded area
on January 17th as stated by Mr. Sturges.
Wallace moved that the reduction of the performance bonds be denied,
Mr. Michael didn~tfeel this could be held up to take care of those items
since the performance bonds are required for specific reasons such as
sewer~ ~ter lines~ lift stations~ etc. He said the private st-~eets are
not covered under these bonds. He said there is no dedication of the
streets; that the lots run together. Technigally the responsibility

falls back on the residents of the city.
After discussion by Mr. Rossi who indicated the flooding condition was a
result of a drainage condition from NW 7th in Lake Boynton Estates dump-
ing into the Leisureville area and after discussion regard/rig surveyor,
etc. Mr. Moore recommended that bond notbe reduced from $5,000 for
Section II and $10:000 for Section I.
Mr. Michael moved that there be no reduction of the Performance Bond
in Section I and Section II. Motion carried 5-0.
Clarification of O~dinances Mr. Wallace opened discussion re original
concept of cluster type development at Leisureville. Plans showed curb-
ing ~ut curbing was not constructed. They were talking about various
recreational facilities. Each time there have been zoning changes they
have increased the amount of people ~oving in but not increased the re-
creational facilities for these people moving in. They have put 60
parking places for a golf course and this will not be adequate; also,
g~een areas were to be included in the development and at the last
quest the lake was to be o%~ed by the developers. Insofar as the City
is concerned the homes are to be built to specifications on file with
Building Depar~nent and they are the barest minimum speeifications. Yet
the contractor who built the model homes was not employed to build the
rest of the~homes. Also I only find 17 45 ft. lots - all of these
things and more and I would like to talk to Caldos to see if we can't
Straighten these things out and live in hazvnony one with another. I
want Mr. Escharte to sit down and talk with us as a group. Some of
these areas need to be straightened out and then we need to improve our
public relations - I recommend a meeting as soon as possible.
Mr. Wallace moved that council meet with Catdos at 7:30 Tuesday~ Feb.3rd
in downstairs council conference room since cou~cit chambers are in use.
Motion seconded by Mms. Jackson and motion carried $-O. (This is to be
a public meeting for as many as can cro~ into the room. )

Discuss proposed ordinance to control burning of t~asb (On the table)
Mr. Michael moved that the above item be removed from table. Motion
seconded by }~. Nylund and motion carried 5-0.
Mr. Michael discussed the item extensively and brought out that since the
to~.~ has annexed large areas that have not been cleared that he felt if
developers cannot burn off these areas that the land will never get
cleared because there is no place to haul it; therefore he moved that the
proposed ordinance to ban burning not be drawn up and that the city abide
by the ordinance we have. Motion seconded by Mr. Nylund and motion
carried 5-0.
Discuss policy of meter deposits Mr. Michael indicated that on Janu-
ary 12th Mr. Courtney issued an order that in order to accept water
deposit from anyone moving into Caldos properties they be required to
bring a certain form to City Hall regarding closin~ statement before
they can place a meter deposit. If this is to be followed then this
should be the policy throughout to%~n~ therefore; P~. Michael moved that
the policy authorized by Mr. Courtney on January 12th be abolished and
normal policy of the city be abided by. Motion seconded by Mrs. Jackson
