CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
Towing Monthly Report
City Manager Cheney stated that from July 14 to October 31,
1987 there were 674 vehicles cited, 318 came into
compliance, 257 were towed, 51 were awaiting towing, and 48
were cited and pending time lapse.
List of Attendees for the Annual Board Dinner
City Manager Cheney reminded the members of the City
Commission of the list of attendees for the annual board
dinner. He noted that these invitations would be mailed on
Wednesday and asked if there were any corrections or addi-
tions to the list.
Write Off of Utility Bills
City Manager Cheney stated that since the last Regular City
Commission meeting he had checked specifically into some
names which were given him by the members of the Commission.
He noted that the City's Ordinance holds the occupant of the
building, not the owner, responsible for the utility bill.
He noted that when a renter comes in and applies for the
utilities in his name, a deposit is collected. When the
renter leaves, he sometimes does not pay his last bill.
When this occurs, the bill is then charged to the owner of
the building. He stated that many times the name which is
shown as delinquent is the owner of the property and legally
he is not responsible for the bill. City Manager Cheney
stated that he felt this was an unfair list of people who
should not be liable for the bill. He will check into this
situation to determine if changes should be made to the
Ordinance. Mayor Cassandra noted that since the owner is
getting first and last month's rent as well as a security
deposit from the renter, he should assume some respon-
-2-

sibility for the bill. City Manager Cheney also noted that
at times a business goes bankrupt and that name shows up on
the bill. Commissioner Zibelli asked what the amount of the
deposit was for a single family home, and City Manager
Cheney replied that it was $50.00. Vice Mayor Marchese
asked how long an owner/renter was allowed to go without
paying his bill. City Manager Cheney stated that the bill
is due after 30 days and after that the utilities are shut
off, if the person does not come in with a hardship. He
noted that the City works with those who have legitimate
hardships and are willing to pay a small amount of the past
due bill each month. City Manager Cheney noted that the
write off for the City is a small amount compared to the
total bill which is approximately $7 million.
Resignation of Fire Chief James Rhoden, Sr.
City Manager Cheney regretfully stated that Fire Chief
Rhoden has been employed by the City for 20-25 years, and
will be retiring effective January 27, 1988. He noted that
Chief Rhoden has given two months' notice which should allow
time to consider his replacement.
Mayor Cassandra stated that the City Manager's report was
accepted.
Status Report on Multi-Recreational Facility
Mayor Cassandra requested a status report on the
Multi-RecreatiOnal Facility at the next Regular City
Commission Meeting.
PUBLIC AUDIENCE
1. Request for Waiver of Certain Utility Charges
Alan Mentser, 809 Patrick Drive, West Palm Beach, stated
that he owns the property at 2750 N.W. 2nd Street. He noted
that he did not receive title from HUD until March 1987. He
applied for a City building permit after that date for
replacement of soffit and fascia boards and exterior doors.
Mr. Mentser referred to correspondence between Agent Smith
and himself, and Captain Dettman and himself. He stated that
he had permitted his property to be used by the Police
Department for a drug observation. Mr. Mentser stated that
he had received a utility bill which dated back to the time
the property was closed on (August 1986). He requested that
a portion of his utility bill be waived as he had not used
any water/sewage or trash pickup at that location and in
consideration for his cooperation with the Police

Department. He noted that Assistant City Manager Hunt's
reply to his request was that Mr. Mentser should pay the
bill.
City Manager Cheney stated that he was aware of the
discussion between Mr. Mentser and Assistant City Manager
Hunt, noting that he was not aware of the cooperation with
the Police Department.
Mayor Cassandra asked if the amount would keep adding and
Mr. Mentser stated that it would. The amount of the bill at
the present time is $229.50 and he requested that half of
the bill be waived.
Assistant City Manager Hunt pointed out that, even though
water/sewage and trash pickup is not used, the City has no
way of knowing if anyone is living in the house or not. He
noted that everyone pays a minimal charge which is for capa-
city for the sewer and for the availability of trash pickup.
Vice Mayor Marchese commended Mr. Mentser for his coopera-
tion with the Police Department. After much discussion, the
Commissioners decided against granting the request, as they
did not wish to set a precedence.
Mr. Mentser requested that he be allowed to pay the past due
balance over the next three months. City Manager Cheney
agreed that was acceptable.
2. Request to Enclose a Store Front/Oakwood Square
Mickey Fiori, 6350 N. Andrews Avenue, Ft. Lauderdale, repre-
sentative of Oakwood Square, stated that he was not aware
that Community Appearance Board review/approval was
necessary to do exterior type changes to the building. He
noted that when this was brought to their attention, they
complied. He noted the TRB had reviewed the project this
week. Mr. Fiori stated that he now has a hole in the wall
which he is requesting to close up with glass. He stated
that he was willing to write a letter stating that, if their
request was denied, they would put the building back as it
was. City Manager Cheney stated that the TRB recommended
approval, and the plans must now go to the P&Z Board and
then come to the City Commission. Vice Mayor Marchese asked
how the project had gotten off track. City Manager Cheney
clarified that Mr. Fiori had a tenant who desired to have
the wall glass rather than block. Mr. Fiori noted that this
was a minimal change to the store front and he did not
realize he needed approval from the boards to make the
changes. Mayor Cassandra requested that Mr. Fiori write a
-4-

BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 3, 1987
letter stating that, if not approved by the boards, he will
remove all the temporary items approved by the Commission.
Commissioner Mann made a motion to approve the installation
of the glass front. Motion was seconded by Commissioner
Zibelli and carried 5-0.
3. Special Task Force
Gloria Skinner, 806 N.W. 4th Street, stated that the plan of
action outlined in the special meeting on October 30, 1987,
was to a large degree commendable. She commended the
Commission on their decisive action, noting that was what
they look for in their City Fathers. She noted that the
problem was attacked and not ignored. She noted that the
situation is very sensitive and very delicate and expressed
further concerns. She requested that the plan be modified
to include a specialized panel to work in conjunction with
the Community Relations Board to address the problem. She
suggested that the Police Department be allowed to make
recommendations to that panel as well. Mrs. Skinner noted
that this is not a major alteration to the plan, but if
approved, this would foster a spirit of cooperation.
Commissioner Zibelli noted that Pamela Hasterok of the
Palm Beach Post stated that the CRB is not equipped to
handle the special problems. Commissioner Zibelli noted
that she felt the CRB is an extremely qualified Board and
most of the members live in the northern area. She stated
that the CRB had discussed holding their meetings in the
various areas rather than at City Hall. She felt this would
allow the citizens to feel comfortable discussing their
problems. Commissioner Zibelli also noted that the process
has gone on so long, that the problems cannot be solved over
night. Mrs. Skinner stated that she recognized that the CRB
is made up of citizens of their community, but she added
that the members of that Board are not comfortable with the
task before them. It was noted that the timetable
established is not a realistic one and more time should be
allowed. Mayor Cassandra agreed to meet with the CRB to
explain just what a fact finding board would be required to
do. He requested that a list of names be provided the
Commission so that a panel could be selected, noting that
the names submitted from the Concerned Citizens' group might
not be the ones selected. Mayor Cassandra mentioned the
names of those who serve on the Community Relations Board:
Mrs. Newton, Miss Wright, Mrs. Girtman, Mrs. Costantino and
Mr. Greenhut and three representatives from the south end.
He noted the qualifications of the Board members and thanked
them for the fine job they are performing.
-5-
MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA NOVEMBER 3, 1987
Mrs. Skinner clarified that the panel would act in an advi-
sory capacity to the CRB. Commissioner Hester stated that
he felt the Concerned Citizens were asking for a panel to
work along with the CRB, and would be made up of people they
wished to appoint as well as ones the Commission might
appoint. Mayor Cassandra again requested that Mrs. Skinner
submit the names as soon as possible. He also noted that
the Commission would also submit names. Mrs. Skinner stated
that was acceptable as' they are looking for experts to serve
on this panel.
City Manager Cheney noted that there is always a problem
scheduling meetings. The CRB had to change their meeting
date due to the holiday on November llth. There was
discussion regarding whether or not the preceding should be
added to the agenda for the CRB. Mayor Cassandra stated
that he would leave the Special City Commission Meeting
Wednesday night at 8:00 P.M. and go to the CRB meeting to
give them a presentation regarding the specialized panel to
be appointed to assist the CRB in their fact finding and to
inform that Board of the action taken at the October 30th
meeting.
As no one else wished to speak THE PUBLIC AUDIENCE WAS
CLOSED.

Commissioner Zibelli moved to approve, on first reading,
Proposed Ordinance No. 87-9B. Motion was seconded by Vice
Mayor Marchese.
Commissioner Hester commented that he is in favor of the
Ordinance but he still has some problems with it. He called
attention to the statement concerning rooming houses and
asked if the cost was $2.00 per room. City Attorney Rea
stated that was correct. Commissioner Hester then referred
to the process of applying for a license and filling out the
forms necessary. He asked if this would hold the property
owner responsible for everything which happens within that
unit. City Attorney Rea stated that this treats rental
homes as businesses and requires the landlord to take
action, once the landlord is notified by the police of
inappropriate conduct in that facility. The landlord must
make a reasonable effort to evict the tenant, if possible.
He noted that this applies to commercial establishments in
the City as well. City Attorney Rea noted that at the pre-
sent time, under the City's ordinances, the City licenses
hotels, motels, apartments, and rooming houses at the rate
of $2.00 per room. This Ordinance would add single family
residential rentals at the rate of $2.00 per room and add a
requirement that all licensed businesses can have their
licenses revoked if inappropriate conduct is allowed.
Commissioner Rester questioned how this would be enfOrced
when single family homes are rented out. City Manager
Cheney stated that this would be enforced as knowledge comes
to the City that the house is rented, either from a code
violation or by checking property records. He stated that
this would probably be accomplished on a complaint basis and
as the code enforcement program brings it to light.
Vice Mayor Marchese stated that he had not been happy in the
beginning with this Ordinance, but he admitted that this is
a much needed tool which is long overdue. Commissioner Mann
stated that he felt the proposed Ordinance had merit, but he
was not very familiar with it. He had talked to the City
of Lake Worth and asked them how their similar ordinance is
working out. The information he received was that it is
very hard to enforce.

City Attorney Rea stated that he had brought this before the

City, and he was asking for a policy statement as to how to
handle these matters. It was noted that the property had
been sold, in this case, and the money was in escrow. The
owner, Judity McQuade, claimed that she only made $2,000
profit on the sale of the home and requested that she be
allowed to settle with the City for $500.00. The
Commissioners were familiar with this case and felt that
this was a legitimate request.
Vice Mayor Marchese moved to accept the settlement of

vailed in the case and the City has received $58,519.31
Commissioner Hester moved to accept the $58,519.31. Motion
was seconded by Vice Mayor Marchese and carried 5-0.
4. Fifty Cent Charge by the County for the 911 Number
Mayor Cassandra requested that, since the City has its own
911 number, the City Attorney investigate why the County is
making this charge. City Manager Cheney stated that he had
some information on that subject, and he noted that the City
gets some of that money back. This matter will be investi-
gated and a report given at the next City Commission
Meeting.
OLD BUSINESS
Reverse Osmosis Evaluation
City Manager Cheney stated that as a result of the field
trip to the Western Well fields in October, the question was
raised by Mayor Cassandra about the impact of the reject
water on the roots and root structures of grass, trees, etc.
City Manager Cheney stated that this was not a part of the
test at that time. He suggested that now is the time to
look into this situation, and have another contract with the
University to specifically look at this. City Manager
Cheney stated that the cost to do this study would be
$27,000 and would come from the Utility budget.
Commissioner Hester moved to approve the expenditure of
$27,000 to further study the effect of the reject water on
the grass and tree roots. Motion was seconded by Vice Mayor
Marchese and carried 5-0.

Raise for City the Attorney
Vice Mayor Marchese made a motion that City Attorney Rea's
compensation be adjusted to $62,500 per year, effective
retroactive to October 1, 1987. There was some discussion
and it was noted that this is approximately a 26 percent
increase (or $13,000 increase) to bring the City Attorney's
compensation more in line with what his position requires
from him. City Manager Cheney noted that City Attorney Rea
had chosen to pay into his own pension plan at the time he
was hired. Commissioner Zibelli seconded the motion.
Commissioner Kester questioned why such a large increase was
proposed for City Attorney Rea when the other City employees
were recently given a 4 percent increase. Mayor Cassandra
noted that those employees will get another 5 percent
increase on their anniversaries. Motion carried 5-0.
Raise for the City Manager
Commissioner Mann made a motion that a salary of $76,000 per
