The meeting was called to order at 7:45 with all Coucnilmen present.
Attorney Griffith suggested putting answer service on the police telephone.
The Council agreed un~m~ous~y it was a service urgently needed, for the
safety of the citizens. The Bell telephone Company will be contacted.
Asked vo submit three acceptable names for the new colored cemetery, a
group of citizens gave the following.
Sara Szmms Memorzal Gardens
Cherry Hills Memorial Gardens
Roberts Memorial. Gardens
M~o Chadwell made the mo%ion, seconded by Mr. Weaver, that the new cemetery
be named Sara S~s Memori~ Gardens. That seemed to be ~ne most popular
namedwith the citizens of the area.Motion carried unamiously.
Oyer advmaced a-financial proposal for the first phase of sewerage for
Boynton Beach, as follows;
The developer put in his own collection s~tem throughout his subdivision
as one of b-is expenses of subdividing
2- Y~o Fields advance the money for the treatment plant, with no interest
r equ~ements ~
~e City, with the er~inesr, establish the pro-rata cost, based on capit al
outlay for the treatment only~ for the capacity of the plant as set forth
in the engineers report.
As homes are built, each pay the established cos~, and M~. Fields account
be credited uhtil he is repaid the amount advanced for the treatment plant
only. Theoretically we wo~ld owe h~. Fields X amount of dollars for the
treatment, but the only way he could get it back would be by building
houses on his lots~
The p~an~ and system to belong in its entire~y ~o the city~ which would
~intain same, as it does its water sys~emo
,o- If an~ other s'godivider wishes to have sewerage, they also put in all
collection lines in their subdivision, they would be using the same treat-
merit plant, but they would be paying the capital charge for use of the
syatem the same as e~uyone else aa~d when we got to a point where we bare
expand the system, we would have some money in the ba~2~ toward expmusion.
M~. Chadweil thought that since ~. Fields b~ms the only immediate sewerage
problem, M~. Fields s~hbuld be t~ ~'
n~ one to ~nance, without interest and be
glad to do so, for it is ' ~- ....
strzcaly for the benefzt of n~s personal business.
Mr. G~iffith brought out the fact that Delray Shores is Fatting in the whole
t~ing, treatment plknt, collection s~tem, %~ter system aud gas maLus, and
they are pro-ratLug the cos5 based on their engineers report for each lot
$575,00, Tsars '~ringLng it ~o the property line and a connection fee gees
on ease house°
~. Griffith, when~ asked for his opinion on '~£nat we could or could not do
s~id.~%he s~w~ation of what I thi~k would be reasonable ~ wb~t would be
proper with %~hat ~-e afc now econ&~&cally able to do would be pretty near
what was in the resolution we passed, that motion that permits any sub-
divider or developer to install sewers or sewer system in any dedicated
rights of way at bbs own %rxpense and cost. Now some plan~ I do believe
shoo, id be worked out to assist them as best we can~ possibly what Harvey
memtioned would be one idea. Let ~, Field put up money for treatment
plant s~ud tell bf~ we would either float a certificate t~pe bond like
we did with this beach property~ tb~t would be solely recoverable au the
revenus from the connection charge, or if the maintainence of tkis part
icular sewer system woufdd allow sufficient, you could return the profits
5o him over that, to help reduce D~is g~bt a little quicker, ~%hout giving
him ar~vmore than his actual out of pocket expense. I don:t mea~j~tD~a~ he
should be entitled to ~ny p~ofit on bbs investment or ~ interest on ss~me.
The city co'aid, ifthey wanted to, tell him t~a% they would install a
ord~ance s~3itable and such according to the recommendation of the en~_ueer
that would re~urn enough revenue to the City %o maintain ~ system, and with
$200.00 or what ever it may be connection~ would be ret~-~ned to ~. Field as
the connections were minds, until the eos~ of the treatment plant ~-one -was
paid hiS. I think if you go beyond tb~t you get into tD_is problem , that
possibly you are going to ~ve to set up t~ ~xing districts which would not
be fair to those citizens close but not on a sewerage system. The entire
nerthwest secoion~ or greater part of it would be in one taxing district
to start with~
~m. Griffith was asked to draw up a proposal to su¢~it M~. Pield for the
approval of the City Council.
A letter dated July ~,1957 from the Civil Service Board was read and
~'~ discussed. Nm. Weaver made a motion, seconded by ~. Che~well s~d carried
un~aiously, Lhat the letter be accepted and the reco~_endations of new
pay scale~ adjustments, cb~e~uge to bi-weekly pa~oll etc., be adopted in
full.
Mr~ Gri~fith read a resolution he had prepared releasing property ~o the
Goun%~ to Joe rededicated t~ the School Board for a new school site on
h~ 2nd Ava~ ~. C~'er made a motion that the resolution be adopted. Mm.
~ehburg seconded. Motion carried.
Thor being no further business~ the meeting was adjourned.
