CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
1. State Mandates
City Manager Cheney showed a video presentation regarding
State mandates which are placed on cities and counties by
the State Legislature. Prior to the presentation, City
--1--
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION

MARCH 7, 1989
Manager Cheney stated that they were in the process of
making a list of people who would be willing to sit at the
polls on March 14th with petitions regarding State mandates
to be signed by as many voters as possible. The petition
would state that when the State imposes mandates, the
Legislature should address the issue of how to pay for them.
At the present time, this issue is not addressed.
Mayor Marchese noted that during the last seven years, 160
mandates have been passed on to the cities and counties, and
none of them gave those cities and counties the right to
fund them. This has caused the ad valorem taxes to be
increased.
The video compiled by the Florida League of Cities was then
shown. The video presented information regarding the
number of mandates placed on the cities and counties from
1980 to 1987 and stated that the only way to stop the con-
tinuation of this action is by amending the Constitution by
a vote of the people. The Florida League of Cities urged
that 400,000 signatures be obtained in order to let the
Legislature know that the people are tired of the mandates.
After the presentation, City Manager Cheney announced that
forms were available on the counter at this meeting and
urged all who would to sign the petitions. He again noted
that people are needed to sit at the polls to obtain signa-
tures. Mayor Marchese had obtained a few names from
Leisureville of people willing to do so, but there are 18
precincts to be covered. City Manager Cheney also noted
that they do not have total support from the local delega-
tion in this matter so the signatures are very important.
There will be a meeting held on Friday so that City Manager
Cheney can show the video and go over the information needed
by those to sit at the polls to obtain signatures on the
petitions on March 14th.
2. Award from State Department of Environmental Resources
City Manager Cheney announced that the City had been awarded
$18,750 for outstanding efforts in the area of recycling.
This was submitted by Craig Grabeel, Director of Management
Services. City Manager Cheney suggested that the money be
set aside until the pilot program has been completed. At
that time this program can either be continued, or the funds
used for a different recycling program.
3. Department of Transportation (DOT) Hearing, March 8th
City Manager Cheney announced that DOT will have a hearing
on March 8, 1989 at Palm Beach Gardens High School for the
-2-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COM24ISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA

purpose of discussing the State's Five Year Transportation
Program. Information would probably be given about how to
fund the five year program, and also if the five year
program has now been extended to six or seven years. There
will be a meeting on the following evening as well.
Commissioner Olenik and Mayor Marehese stated they would try
to attend, and others were urged to do so if at all
possible.
4. Palm Beach County Commission Hearings on the County
Comprehensive Plan - March 13 and March 20, 1989
City Manager Cheney urged all who could to attend these
meetings as they affect all in Palm Beach County.
5. Public Hearing Re Boynton Beach Mall Expansion
City Manager Cheney suggested that a public hearing be held
on May 16th at the Regular City Commission Meeting for the
purpose of discussing the expansion of the mall by allowing
a sixth major department store to be built and expansion of
the parking area. This has been to Treasure Coast for
approval and can now come to the City.
There was discussion about setting a special date, but it
was a consensus of the Commission this would not be
necessary. City Manager Cheney noted that 60 days notice
would have to be given, so the May 16th date would be
appropriate.
Motion
Commissioner Weiner moved that the hearing on the Boynton
Beach Mall expansion of the 6th major department store and
related parking be held on May 16, 1989 at 7:00 P. M.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Olenik and carried 5-0.
6. Christmas Tree Collection Program
City Manager Cheney stated that many trees were collected,
but the cost to do so had been excessive. They would be
comparing the value of the collection and the cost to
collect. A decision must then be made as to whether or not
the program should be continued.
7. Applications to the Children's Services Council
a. Diversion-type program to prevent children from
getting into trouble
A grant of $1,043 was requested to establish a program with
the Police Department to provide a diversion type program
-3-

for children who are beginning to get in trouble. It is
hoped this will prevent them from actually getting on the
police records.
b. Recreation Program for Teenagers
This is a request for $500,000 budget to establish a
recreation program for teenagers.
c. After School Programs
Application has been made for $145,000 for programs at two
schools for after school programs for "latch key" children.
Commissioner Weiner asked when they would know if the City
was successful in their endeavors to obtain these funds.
Mr. Frederick, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated this
would probably be in June or July, but funding would not be
until October, 1989 (the next Fiscal Year).
8. Codes Enforcement activities last year
City Manager Cheney did not know how many cases there were
this year, but last year there were 2925. These cases were
handled by the Codes Enforcement staff and did not come to
the Codes Enforcement Board for action.
9. Construction Schedule
City Manager Cheney had provided a construction schedule for
the Mayor and Commissioners. He noted that some are ahead
of schedule and some are behind. The electrial union strike
caused a 30 day delay. Time had not been added to accom-
modate the Change Orders. He explained that the bottom line
shows when the various departments are expected to move into
the new building.
10. Summary of Construction Costs for Projects under
Construction
City Manager Cheney passed out a summary of the construction
costs. He had added the east wing of City Hall which was
built first. There was $133,000 in change orders (1.4 per-
cent of the total cost). If the east wing is added into the
figure it would be 1.6 percent. City Manager Cheney noted
this is a small amount for a project such as this. There
will be more change orders, but City Manager Cheney noted
that the amount will still not be very much over the bid
price. These figures include fees for the architects and
engineers as well.

11. Monthly Demolition Report
To date nine buildings have been demolished. Citizens have
expressed their appreciation for these efforts. It is hoped
that each month more buildings will be demolished.
12. Report on Protest Re Stillwater Cruises
City Manager Cheney noted that the Island Princess and its
predecessor were not given an occupational license in the
early 80s when they wanted to dock at the Two Georges marina
as there was no available parking. The parking issue was
settled years ago by the Board of Adjustment. There was no
room for any cruise liner to come in. That boat was not
given an occupational license for the then Sea Mist marina
as the parking was already allocated to the boats per-
manently docked in the slips at that marina. No space was
available for a boat to come in and no parking was available
for a cruise ship. Both of those boats have been licensed
at the Tropics (formerly Shooters).
The recent license gave Stillwater authorization as there is
plenty of parking available. There are a few boats, but
not as many as were previously docked there. It was decided
by the Commission that Stillwater should not be required to
bring the parking lot up to the new requirements, since
hopefully, that whole area will be redone as the new marina
in the CRA plans. It was recommended that Stillwater be
allowed to be there as it made sense for that boat as it was
not taking away parking from anyone at the time and the
owner could complete his season. Next year, if the marina
is under development, Stillwater would have to go somewhere
else. If not, he should make plans for an alternate site so
he will not need the temporary permit. City Manager Cheney
had no problem with the decision to allow Stillwater to be
there. He did understand why the other boat did not get an
occupational license originally. City Manager Cheney had
been down and noted that Stillwater drops its passengers off
at the east end of that area by the gas pumps, backs the
boat into the private finger canal, and keeps the boat there
when it is not in use. The boat sticks out approximately
three or four feet beyond the dock, but not at all into the
travelway of the Intracoastal. City Manager Cheney had no
problem with the decision made earlier, and the Mayor and
Commissioners had no additional comments to make.
13. Report on Crime Statistics - Chief Edward Hillery
City Manager Cheney noted that the report is not back from
the State so the comparisons with the others cities is not
available. This should be available very soon.
-5-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYI~TON BEACH, FLORIDA
MARCH 7, 1989
Chief Hillery then made a presentation using the overhead
projector. The charts shown were included in a report which
was provided for the Mayor and Commissioners.
Chief Hillery noted that the uniform crime reporting to the
State of Florida has been changed this year to take crimes
previously lumped together and separate them. Chief Hillery
expects to hear from the State in June or July. The cities
have been informed that the report usually received in
February will not be received until June or July.
Chief Hillery presented charts which show the basic percen-
tage of various crimes which take place in the City. He
also placed a map in front of the room which showed where
the various zones are in the City. The charts correspond to
the numbers on the zoning map. Information regarding
violent crimes, vice and narcotics, and assaults on police
officers was given for 1987 as compared to 1988. He then
showed a chart containing information on calls for service
which indicated differences between 1987 and 1988 sta-
tistics. These were broken down into DUIs, Burglaries,
Narcotics, and Assaults. Chief Hillery presented infor-
mation on these calls for service.
14. Ocean Properties - requested by Commissioner Olenik
City Manager Cheney stated they had a meeting on this date.
Regarding the landscaping, City Manager Cheney had suggested
to Ocean Properties that they continue with this by putting
it in as well as the irrigation from their pump system. The
City will maintain it, but will not guarantee a level of
maintenance. The level would depend on the funding and the
staffing. Commissioner Olenik was concerned about the
liability. City Manager Cheney stated the City would have
the responsibility as the City will take over the main-
tenance. Ocean Properties will have insurance with their
contractor while the landscaping is being installed. A
report will be given once it has been compiled as to the
estimate of :manhours for maintenance and costs for what was
approved by the Community Appearance Board and the City
Commission.
The left turn lane issue: Discussions have been held con-
tinually. Apparently as of today, the resolution will be
done. Ocean Properties will pay the dollars as recommended
to have a design done for rebuilding whatever has to be done
for the bridge. They will use the County Engineer who is on
retainer to do bridge studies. The Engineer will develop
the cost for renovating the bridge. That cost will be com-
pared with the disadvantages and advantages of highway

capacity on Congress. If Congress is widened to six lanes,
this would be a "left turn on arrow only" so the ability to
make turns would be reduced. County has suggested to Ocean
Properties that maybe there can be some development of an
agreement where the County will put in some money to assist
in the project as they would be preserving capacity in a
road. There is a quality question County must face of using
County dollars to solve a capacity problem created by deve-
lopers. It is a quality question for the City as the City
would like to have some say on how the road impact fees are
used. It is not known what the dollars will be so this will
be taken up later.
City Manager Cheney will develop an agreement on the
landscaping issue and Ocean Properties with the County
Engineer will address the left turn issue. There are two
pending code enforcement liens which will be addressed to
the Commission at some time.
Mayor Marchese felt the important thing is to get this
resolved and he was happy to see that City Manager Cheney
was making progress.
The City Manager's Report was accepted as presented.

City Manager Cheney requested this be removed from the table
for discussion only.
Commissioner Olenik moved to remove Proposed Ordinance No.
89-4 from the table. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Weiner and carried 5-0.
City Manager Cheney stated that the Staff needs guidance
from the Mayor and Commissioners as to what direction they
would like to take in regard to magnetic signs on tops of
vehicles. Signs on tops of vehicles have previously been
ignored. Those signs which were loose fitting have been
cited. Signs sitting on back bumpers or leaning on vehicles
have been cited. City Manager Cheney questioned the safety
issue when talking about magnetic signs on vehicles.
"Pizza" type signs have always been allowed. Med
Kopczynski, Deputy Building Official, had checked into the
situation regarding windload on magnetic signs.
A decision should be made as to whether or not magnetic
signs should be allowed on the tops of vehicles and if
allowed should the size be limited.
Mayor Marchese felt that signs on top should not be magne-
tic. He felt signs which are attached should be installed
in the direction the vehicle will travel in order to lessen
the windload on the sign. He felt the size should be
established as to the maximum allowed. He felt the sign
should be limited to written language only and not some
object. He did not want to hurt anyone who needed the
advertising, but this could be a serious problem which could
be a safety issue.
Vice Mayor Hester felt that those installed on tops of
vehicles should be limited as to height as well.
City Manager Cheney felt that they might wish to require
vehicles with such signs be parked on private property and
not in rights-of-way, and Mayor Marchese agreed. Mayor
Marchese also requested that the Chamber of Commerce give
them input so the desires of citizens could be included.
Mr. Owen Anderson was present at the meeting.

Association of Fire Fighters, Local 1891
City Manager Cheney had provided a summary of the events
regarding this contract. He noted that the changes were not
indicative of the time and amount of work which went into
-12-

these negotiations. Several young fire fighters had been
involved in the negotiations and they were not totally fami-
liar with the negotiating process. City Manager Cheney felt
this had been a good experience for them. A couple of
senior fire fighters came in toward the end of the nego-
tiations. City Manager Cheney recommended approval of the
contract and also that it be retroactive to October 6, 1988.
Mayor Marchese was happy to see provisions made in the
contract for those who might be exposed to communicable
diseases such as aids. City Manager Cheney noted that this
issue had taken much time to negotiate. The City desires to
help those who are exposed to such diseases in their line of
work. When a paramedic comes in contact with communicable
diseases they must report it to the hospital. Records will
substantiate that he was exposed. In this situation, the
City will accept total coverage of the person involved.

Commissioner Olenik moved to approve the contract with
Boynton Beach Association of Fire Fighters, Local 1891 and
that approval be retroactive to October 6, 1988. Motion was

Agrement for New Life Christian Church. Motion was seconded

City Attorney Rea referred to a letter from Randy Zeldin,
P.A., to City Manager Cheney which explained the issue.
City Attorney Rea stated that the City is required to place
a lien on the violator and his property. In these cases,
the lien had been placed on the renter of the property and
the owner was the violator (Boynton Distribution Center
Associates). The owner has offered to settle by paying the
fines without the interest which has accumulated for the
release of the liens on his property. City Attorney Rea
-13-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA MARCH 7, 1989
further stated that in this case it would not benefit the
City to go to foreclosure as the City would likely not win
the case. Boynton Distribution Center Associates has agreed
to pay the City $5,000. City Attorney Rea was not sure that
any further action could be taken with Gallery of Silk (the
renter) as he did not know if they were in business any
longer.
Motion
Commissioner Weiner moved to accept the proposed settlement
from Boynton Distribution Center Associates in the amount of
$5,000 in cases 87-196 and 87-197. Motion was seconded by
Vice Mayor Hester and carried 5-0.
OLD BUSINESS

NEW BUSINESS
A. Consider providing financial assistance to the Science
Museum - requested by Commissioner Weiner
Commissioner Weiner noted that the Science Museum is in
serious financial trouble. For the past 26 years this
Museum has served the County and 160,000 children from every
school in the County has visited there. This is the only
museum from Miami to Orlando. She moved that a token
contribution of $250 be given the Museum to show the City's
support of this worthwhile project. Commissioner Mann
seconded the motion. Vice Mayor Hester noted that the
Museum has had some serious management problems.
Commissioner Weiner stated they now have new management.
Commissioner Olenik noted that the City had contributed $100
last year to the Museum before they had financial dif-
ficulties. A vote was taken and the motion carried 5-0.
ADMINISTRATIVE
A. Discussion of policy for providing support for high
school student organizations
City Manager Cheney noted that for the past two years they
had supported Atlantic Highs Project Graduation and
Santaluces for one year. The request before the Mayor and
Commission is for $500 for each of the three high schools
which Boynton Beach's students attend. He noted that next
year it was discussed to include an amount ($5,000) in the
budget. Each school would be given a set amount and the
-14-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION

school would decide how it wished to spend the money. Vice
Mayor Hester was concerned about how many students from
Boynton Beach attend Atlantic Community High School. The
numbers are not presently available.
1. Requst from Atlantic Community High School for
funding for Project Graduation
Vice Mayor Hester moved to approve awarding $500 to Atlantic
Community High School for funding for Project Graduation.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Weiner and carried 5-0.
2. Request from Lake Worth Community High School for
funding for Project Graduation
Commissioner Weiner moved to approve awarding $500 to Lake

3. Request from Santaluces Community High School for
funding for Project Graduation
Vice Mayor Hester moved to approve awarding $500 to
Santaluces Community High School for funding for Project
Graduation. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Weiner and
carried 5-0.
4. Request from Atlantic High School Eagle-Ettes for
funding for trip to Dallas, Texas
Leslie Williams, 3897 Sherwood Boulevard, Delray Beach, came
forward to represent the Eagle-Ettes. She noted that this
group needs to raise $20,000 to go to Dallas to attend the
national competition. This will cover costs of costumes and
travel for three major competitions including the trip to
Dallas. Miss Williams stated they are requesting $2,500
from Boynton Beach as they still have to raise $5,000 over
the next two weeks. She noted that the students work hard
to be a part of this group and they must also work to keep
up with their studies. She noted that some people who would
otherwise have no special interests become involved with
Eagle-Ettes. Some of these students might be school drop-
outs without this special project. Delray Beach had
contributed $3,000. A carnival had been held in Boynton
Beach which raised $2,000. She requested that the
Eagle-Ettes be assisted so they could continue their tradi-
tion.
Mayor Marchese felt this was a worthwhile project, and noted
the amount of money which is spent on drug related crimes.

City Manager Cheney agreed and noted that they are in the
second half of the year and $100,000 remains in the
Contingency fund. He felt the Eagle-Ettes were a positive
and worthwhile group.
Motion
Commissioner Olenik moved to approve awarding the
Eagle-Ettes $2,500 from the contingency fund for their trip
to Dallas. Vice Mayor Hester seconded the motion which
carried 5-0.
B. Discussion of Unity Day events and assistance
City Manager Cheney introduced Barbara Kruger, Chairwoman of
the Community Relations Board (CRB) and Co-Chairwoman of the
Unity Day Committee. The theme for the event is "Together
Thru the Crossroads."
Mrs. Kruger came forward and noted that the CRB and Wilfred
Hawkins, Ombudsman for the City and Co-Chairman for this
event, have been working with 18 businesses, professional and
civic leaders for this event. The purpose of the Day is to
bring the communities of Boynton Beach together in order to
reflect on the progress over the last year and to encourage
them to continue. Efforts will also be made toward working
with the City government. She requested that the City
purchase 50 tickets at a cost of $10 each (total of $500) to
assist in the funding of this special event. These tickets
would then be available for those who cannot afford to spend
$10 to purchase a ticket. People will be encouraged to pay
at least $1.00 for these tickets, based on their ability to
pay. Mrs. Kruger noted that the public and businesses have
been very helpful, and it was her feeling that no additional
money will have to be requested from the City.
Motion
Commissioner Weiner moved to approve the purchase of 50
tickets for Unity Day at $10 each for a total contribution
of $500. Vice Mayor Hester seconded the motion. City
Manager Cheney stated that Mr. Hawkins was in agreement that
$500 should be all the money that would be needed from the
City for this event. A vote was taken and the motion
carried 5-0.
Commissioner Weiner informed Mrs. Kruger that City Manager
Cheney had reported on the three applications to the

Mrs. Kruger was glad to hear that the applications had gone
forward, and she would report that to the CRB at its meeting
on Wednesday night.
OTHER
A. City Newsletter
Mayor Marchese noted that many compliments had been received
relative to the fine job Laura Widmer is doing with the
Newsletter.
City Manager Cheney commented that some thought is being
given to adding an extra sheet to the newsletter. There was
talk of reducing the size of print to allow for more infor-
mation, but it was decided that would make reading the
Newsletter too difficult for some. City Manager Cheney
wanted to include more information about what is happening
in the various departments in the City, information from the
City Commission meetings as well as the Planning and Zoning
Board. Thought has also been given as to how the City can
save money by doing things just a little differently. City
Manager Cheney named a couple of ideas that had been men-
tioned such as the City could possibly have its own
printshop or perhaps the City could address the Newsletters
itself. Mrs. Widmer noted that a small amount of smaller
print had been used on the most recent issue, but no one
seemed to have noticed.
B. Report on G.A.L.A.
City Manager Cheney noted this should have been included
under his report earlier. This was an extremely successful
weekend. Those who had participated seemed to enjoy it and
many stated they would like to work again next year. It
was pointed out that Barnett Bank had done a good job again
this year and that their spirit of cooperation was
excellent. Several businesses seemed to have many customers
they would not ordinarily have had. Mayor Marchese had been
there for three days and noted the attendance was very good.
City Manager Cheney noted that two other art shows were
taking place last weekend - one in Tampa and one in
Sarasota. He felt this was a very worthwhile community
event. Commissioner Weiner was particularly impressed with
the children's events. Mayor Marchese noted that the Parks
and Recreation Department had gone out of their way to
change the schedule to accommodate presentation of the
bronze placque to the Coast Guard Floatilla 54. The plaque
was beautiful. Five individuals had paid for the plaque out
