BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA
AUGUST 17, 1999
Representative Merchant has been meeting with Congressman Foley's staff and Commissioner
Karen Marcus regarding activities at United Technologies and Pratt Whitney. These meetings
are focussed on finding ways to retain the corporations in Palm Beach County. Plans are being
made to go to Connecticut.
Mayor Broening asked Representative Merchant if there was any activity at the State level
regarding the In-School Suspension Program. Mayor Broening explained that this program has
been a success in several Counties because it keeps students in school under controlled
circumstances. Representative Merchant was not of the opinion that Legislative or statutory
changes were necessary with respect to this program. She believed this would be authorized
by State Statute and would be a decision the School District would make. She recommended
that interested parties follow up with School Board members or the School Superintendent. She
offered to assist if statutory changes are needed.
MAYOR BROENING DECLARED A BRIEF RECESS AT 8:15 P.M. THE
MEETING RECONVENED AT 8:35 P.M.

American Legion Rezoning
David A. Silva
American Legion of Boynton Beach, Inc.
114 NW 6th Street
Request to rezone a D.17-acre parcel from the PU - Public Usage
zoning district to the R-2 Residential Duplex zoning district
David Silva, 9272 Camina Cirde, Boynton Beach, is Commander of American Legion Post
#164. He advised that several years ago, the American Legion planned to enlarge the facility
for expanded parking. That expansion did not materialize. In January of this year, the
membership voted to sell the property to pay down the mortgage and devote some of the funds
to increased charities that are currently supported by the Legion. He urged the Commissioners
to support the request.
Mayor Broening confirmed with Mr. Silva that this request is to return the zoning to the original
classification of R-2. There is no impact on the neighborhood. Mr. Silva explained that there is
a small house located on a lot that measures 50' x 150' at the northern portion of the parcel.
This is the portion the Legion would like to return to R-2 zoning so that it can be sold to a
potential buyer.
