Introduction of Two New Council Members Mayor Cassandra introduced Councilman Hester and Council- woman Zibelli and presented a cup cake and gift to Council- woman Zibelli in honor of her birthday. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT Yachtman's Plaza City Manager Cheney said the City has had some concerns about Yachtman's Plaza and has held up issuing certificates of occupancy until they could see some results. In response to the citizens in the area, the City has installed "No - 2 - ~INUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 Parking" signs on the streets behind Yachtman's Plaza, as they requested. The Plaza has hired young people from the area to police the Plaza every morning and pick up litter and trash on a regular basis. The dumpster on the north side has been shielded by the Plaza, and the Plaza has agreed to grant an easement along 15th Place so they can place a fence along the back line of the Plaza property. The fence will be paid for by the residents. City Manager Cheney further reported that the Plaza has replaced its sprinkler pumps and is in the process of repair- ing the entire sprinkler system. The City built the little piece of sidewalk, so the two pieces of public sidewalk tie together. The Plaza has agreed to new landscaping, and it meets the original site plan. They are still working on agreements relative to J. W.'s Lounge and the 67 Liquor Store and their problems but, in general, George Hunt, Assistant City Manager, has been getting some results. Based on this, City Manager Cheney recommended that the City lift the moratorium on that part of the Plaza which is on the south side, recognizing that there is a good, potential tenant who has been waiting for some time to go in there and has been paying rent along the way. T~ere are still some vacant stores on the north side, so City Manager Cheney said there is still some value in keep- ing the moratorium on the north side until the things they were talking about are finished. A little piece of public/ City owned land is adjacent to the property on the south side where the City put in the sidewalk. City Manager Cheney gave the Members a memorandum and said they may want to think about this. He suggested that maybe the City should improve the piece of City land that is there just to the east of the Plaza by sodding and irrigating it. City Manager Cheney informed Mr. Hester that the Plaza has a~ready started doing something and have been meeting with the neighbors. Vice Mayor zimmerman moved to lift the moratorium, seconded by Mr. Hester. It was the concensus Of the Members that the moratorium should be lifted. Mayor Cassandra did not think a motion was needed because a_motion had never been made. He asked if the people around there were aware of the City's intentions. A man in the - 3 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 audience answered affirmatively. City Manager Cheney advised that the people keep Mr Hunt on the phone, and they have been meeting with the developer. Quilt Recently the Libr event, C $3,500,' Quilters 100 Mi Sathering · there was a quilt gathering which was jointly with ary Quilters and the Women's Club. Out of that ity Manager Cheney reported a profit balance of nhich was split between the Women's Club and the e Boardwalk Program - Beach George Evans, Beach Supervisor, posted a chart on the side of his life guard shack and encouraged people who are at the each to sign up and keep track of 100 miles. 80 people uring the season walked 100 miles on the boardwalk. There was a T shirt award ceremony and a party, so the City will probably do that on an annual basis. Attendance at Beach During February, City Manager Cheney said they probably had t~e highest attendance they have ever had. There were five d~ys when there were over 1,000 cars. The highest day was 1~353 cars in the middle of February. The following Sunday, there were 1,335 cars on a 260 car parking lot. 200 cars that wanted to pay $10 were turned away because they came wlaen the lot was full. Testimony on Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO) )day Congressman Dan Mica and a Congressman from Virginia, ~o jointly were a sub-committee of the House of Representa- ives, were taking testimony on HMOs. 75 to 100 people )uld not go upstairs because the Chambers were overcrowded. C~Lty Manager Cheney thought Congressman Mica was happy with tile way it was handled and that he could have that kind of m~eting in his own city. Evaluation and Appraisal Report of Comprehensive Plan C~ty Manager Cheney anticipated that the Council would get a copy of the E&A report by the end of the week, as will the Planning and Zoning Board. It will go through the Planning a~d Zoning Board for review in the months of April and May and come back to the Council. It is a 200 page document - 4 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 which was prepared mostly by Tim Cannon, Planning Department. It will put forth a lot of work for the City and Council between now and June. City Manager Cheney said it is the foundation for beginning to develop the new Comprehensive Plan which will have to be adopted by February, 1988. Bridge Problem at End of Lake Drive The State indicated that they have a potential safety situation. City Manager Cheney said it will require some cement pumping under one of the culverts. Barricades were tentatively there, but they were taken down because the bridge is safe. In the next few days, the City will be repairing it. Report Concerning Police Department Activities Relating to Drug Enforcement City Manager Cheney referred to newspaper articles and citizens discussing problems of crime and drugs. Edward Hillery, Police Chief, said 1½ years ago, when he first became Chief, they spent endless hours waiting for boats to come in on the Intracoastal so they could grab drugs at that level. For two or three years they worked with the Sheriff's Department and Federal Agencies in that kind of enforcement. Chief Hillery wanted to change the focus to the street related drug problems and local problems because they are becoming very apparent now. We have robberies, assaults, burglaries, and stoplight mugging. The image being built by people who apparently were being very successful by break- i~g and flaunting the law had a direct effect on the young- sters of our City. Chief Hillery was talking about the dope dealers and pimps. Chief Hillery said the vast majority of offenders are using drugs when they commit their crimes or are motivated to do the acts to obtain funds with which to buy drugs. The typical burglar spends a lot of his money for cocaine. He usually does not have a job due to his drug use and must resort to crime as a means of maintaining a living. Cocaine is now sold in rock form. It is not uncommon for a teenager or young adult to use five rocks a day. Rocks sell for about $20 each, so the typical habit will cost its owner $~00 a day. When you convert that into stolen property f~nced at 10% of its value, you are talking about a theft of $~,000 .a day to support just drugs, not taking into consider- ation living expenses. - 5 - M~NUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 Chief Hillery said the user has two ways to meet the staggering price of drugs, and they are to steal or deal. The media has been covering the cocaine epidemic Palm Beach County is experiencing, which has come north from Miami and is costing the citizens of Boynton Beach "lots of bucks". Chief Hillery informed the Council that the non-user, small habit dealer, or dealer who has three or four sellers work- ing for him is earning a great deal of money. The profit is what motivates these people. The product looks like small rocks from the top of a gravel roof and can be thrown into the sand or gravel of the street with very little chance of being recovered by the Police. This makes it difficult to effect an arrest on the typical street dealer. The average street dealer usually stays at home. He is wary and alert to his surroundings and is always ready to get rid of his wares upon the approach of a Police car. He will deal with drugs and rip off gold chains from the very people who come into his area to buy drugs. When he cannot make a sale, he will turn to purse snatching from the elderly or will occasionally stick up a convenience store. Chief Hillery estimated that about 66-2/3 of the 3,400 Part I crimes reported last year were attributed in some degree to the use or sale of cocaine. Part I crimes are what the crime rate in the City is based upon. The Police Department has and will continue to respond to this with vigor. In-the past six months, the Police Department has arrested 106 people on 163 drug charges. At present, 13 arrest warrants have been issued that they are trying to serve. 19 search warrants have been executed, and a business was shut down. Vehicles have been confiscated as a result of an in- depth drug investigation. In only the last 90 days, 14 indi- viduals were arrested, clearing over 100 burglaries by those arrests. 17 people were arrested for over 30 robbery offenses in the City. In all instances except a few, the individuals admitted to using cocaine rock. They are all strong suspects in similar crimes in other cities as well. Of the 106 arrested for drug charges, 83 (70%) were made in areas frequently complained about by our citizens. The rest were scattered about the city. Only four arrests were made west of 1-95. Chief Hillery said the Vice Enforcement Unit has also been involved in investigations relating to prostitution and gambling. - 6 - ~INUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 Councilman Hester asked if it is difficult to get the people selling rocks because they can see the Police coming and throw them down. That was the point Chief Hillery was trying to make. Obviously, since the Police are arresting them, they know the Police are watching them, so they do not carry a great deal of the drug on them at a time. Since it is so small, they can carry a nice supply for sale in the palm of their hand. Upon being approached, they will throw it away, City Manager Cheney said the City and Police Department can not respond just because two people are gathered together, and much work is done undercover. The papers attempt to do a good job in reporting these things, but City Manager Cheney said they cannot report everything, and the citizens cannot get a real impression as to what is going on. In some areas where it seems there is a lot of selling of drugs, such as a hangout under a tree somewhere where there is a large congregation, Councilman Hester asked if it would help if the Police were more visible. He was talking about the area that was brought to the attention of the Police Department some time ago and wondered if the Police could make regular rounds in that area. Chief Hillery said the areas they were talking about were major intersections in the City. Cars going from one place to another naturally pass those intersections. At times, the Police do not want to patrol because they have other means of observing what is going on. Chief Hillery made it very clear that they are getting a lot of help from people in the community giving them names and information. He could think of six situations where search warrants resulted. Chief Hillery wanted the people to know the Police are responding, and the results of their work are in the areas they were talking about. He was talking about the central city core. If the Police watch a person who is involved do it, they can take action, but they cannot just swoop down on someone. They have to go about things in a legal manner. City Manager Cheney urged people not to hesitate to call the Police. There was discussion about the Courts. - 7 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 Andrews Situation Councilman Hester said this was brought up at the last Council Meeting. City Manager Cheney said a letter had been written to that gentleman, and it was identified before the meeting; a red tag was put on the property the morning of the Council meeting (March 18, 1986), and they were given ten days to comply. City Manager Cheney received a call from Reverend Davis today indicating that work was still going on. In another day or two, the City will go back up there and follow up on the inspections. If they continue to construct, the City will have to enforce against the red tag. Mayor Cassandra wished the record to show that the report of Chief Hillery was accepted as presented. PUBLIC AUDIENCE Mayor Cassandra acknowldged the presence in the audience of Former Mayor Walter "Marty" Trauger and then explained the procedure for addressing the Council. New Civic Facility - North Boynton Miss Veoletta Wright, 32 Crossings Circle, #D, spoke on behalf of the residents in the north area and herself about the gymnasium they hoped would be built in the north Boynton area near 17th Avenue. She recalled about two years ago, former Councilman Samuel Wright addressed the need for this type of facility. A lot of athletes went to him and complained about getting injured due to playing on the court at Wilson Center. Boynton Beach has had a few professional basketball and football players, and the community is in need of a facility of this nature. Miss Wright recalled that the City did not have the money to support such a facility, and it was taken to referendum. She hoped the Council would continue to try to plan and provide them with this facility. Miss Wright remembered that the Black Awareness Committee had trouble with the Civic Center because it was overcrowded. She hoped the Council would approve of something of that nature in the North Boynton area, as Boynton needs to try and get its youth off of the streets. Mayor Cassandra offered an invitation to Miss Wright to attend the Special Council Meeting on April 7, 1987 at 7:00 P. M. in the Council Chambers to address that question. - 8 - INUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 Councilman Hester added that there will be a complete package, and this is one of the items on it. Mayor Cassandra told Miss Wright to bring all the people she can that feel the same way so they can voice their opinions. Community Development Projects Wilda Searcy, 402 N. E. 13th Avenue, referred to "XI. ADMINISTRATIVE, A. Application for Community Development Projects for the coming year," which appeared on the agenda, and asked why it was tabled. City Manager Cheney replied that it was tabled because it was discussed at the last meeting. The Mayor wished to have more information with reference to housing as a part of the community redevelopment program. At that time, City Manager Cheney suggested a discussion with Allan Schnier, Director of Palm Beach County Housing and Community Development, and they hoped Mr. Schneir would be present tonight. Mr. Schnier will be here at the next Council meeting on April 15th. Mayor Cassandra informed Mrs. Searcy that four items were on there that the City would want done. He thought it would cover recreation in different areas of the city. Nothing was on sidewalks and housing, so Mayor Cassandra asked about those areas. Fundinq City Manager Cheney read big headlines in the Sun Sentinel this morning that said the City expects funding to be dramatically cut and said, "So What?" Every year the City puts an application in, and it is dramatically cut. The purpose in that is to try to get applications together that make sense. They submit them to the County for review just in case there are not enough applications in other communi- ties. It was just that process of submitting additional applications that made it possible for the City to be in line for funds to rebuild the Wilson pool. Youth Program for 1986 Mrs. Searcy asked if they were working to get a youth pro- gram for 1986. At the last Council Meeting, they passed a Resolution saying this City is concerned that there should be programs of funding starting from the State level. Mayor Cassandra said Mrs. Searcy's question should be addressed during budget time, at which time the City will know what monies they have. If the General Revenue Sharing is not given to the City, that will be a concern. - 9 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 Loitering Mrs. Searcy wondered if a report could be done about loiter- ing on streets in front of buildings. Police Chief Hillery said there is a second part to the Statute. It is loitering and prowling. When you loiter (hang around), the prowling aspect has to enter into it. It is all right to be hanging around some place if you live in the neighborhood. They have a right to be anywhere they want to be unless they are doing something that is obviously wrong. Behind a warehouse at 2:00 A. M. is a good example of loitering because chances are they will do something bad. Police cannot just walk up to someone on the corner and pick him up, as there are certain guidelines they must follow. Mrs. Searcy asked why the owners of property could not complain about the loitering. Chief Hillery replied that there are instances where shop owners post their property, and if a person is hanging around and the shop owners want them off their property, the Police can remove them. If they do not leave, they are arrested for trespassing after a warn- ing, but that is not loitering. Mrs. Searcy stated that she has a business, and that is what happened. City Manager Cheney informed her that people have the right to be on a public sidewalk in front of a store. If they are blocking a sidewalk and keeping people from going into that store, the Police can do something about it. Private property can be posted, but City Manager Cheney said most of the people Mrs. Searcy was complaining about are on public sidewalks or on private property where the private property owner does not care.

Approval of Bills See list attached. Councilman Ferrell moved to approve the Consent Agenda, seconded by Councilman Hester.

City Manager Cheney said this is the system that fills the tanks the Fire Fighters use. The compressor died, and it is an essential item. Mayor Cassandra asked where the money would come from. City Manager Cheney thought some capital purchases in the Fire Department came in lower than they budgeted. If they do not have that money, he will come back to the Council for a contingency transfer. Councilman Ferrell moved to approve the bid, seconded by Councilwoman Zibelli. Motion carried 5-0. PUBLIC HEARING None. DEVELOPMENT PLANS Consider request for time extension for filing final plat - Rollingwood City Manager Cheney felt this was a reasonable request. Mayor Cassandra was concerned because the Council had already given two six month extensions, and he thought they should be given 45 days, as Rollingwood was implying 30 days was all they needed. .City Manager Cheney explained that they a~ways think of slx month extensions but there was no reason it had to be six months. Tom Clark, City Engineer, thought - 13 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 Rollingwood wanted six months but said 45 days would be reasonable. Councilman Ferrell asked what would happen if they did not get it done in 45 days. City Manager Cheney answered that the Council could deny an extension and Rollingwood would start all over, or the Council could extend the extension. He asked if anyone in the audience was from Rollingwood. There was no response. City Attorney Vance thought Rollingwood was saying they would complete the financing in thirty days, not the plat work. Mayor Cassandra read from Gentry Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc.'s letter, dated March 13, 1986, "that all requirements covered under the final plat shall be completed within this time period." City Engineer Clark pointed out that the City had approved the plat and they had paid the new fees. It was just a question of whether the City decided they did not like his plat. City Manager Cheney suggested that the Council give Rollingwood three months and expect them to be here the next time they have this request. Councilman Ferrell reminded the Members that they did it for others in the past. City Manager Cheney agreed but said as it gets to be the second or third six months, the City begins to raise questions about whether they want to let it just set around. In the past, the Council became more skeptical and concerned about continued extensions. Vice Mayor Zimmerman moved to grant an extension to Rolling- wood of three (3) months only. Councilman Ferrell seconded the motion, and the motion carried 5-0. In the future, Councilman Ferrell wanted some indication of whether the Council would be dissatisfied with the plat upon renewal. Otherwise, he thought the Council wastes a lot of time if there is nothing of concern. If there is no reason to question it, it seemed to him the Council could approve an extension indefinitely. City Manager Cheney said the Staff would make the comment more clear as to whether there is a problem or not. Mayor Cassandra pointed out that the City projects traffic based on that development being developed. His concern was that a new developer coming in cannot develop because they have projected what this developer is going to develop, etc. - 14 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 Be Consider request for time extension for filing final plat - Quail Lake West - Plat 2 Tom Clark, City Engineer, thought this was their first request. Councilman Hester moved to approve the extension for six months, seconded by Councilman Ferrell. Motion carried 5-0. LEGAL A. Ordinances - 2nd Reading - PUBLIC HEARING Proposed Ordinance No. 86-5 Re: Prohibiting Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages in parking lots (Public Hearing continued to April 1, 1986) City Attorney Vance advised that they should go back into first reading on this Ordinance. The County just passed an Ordinance relating to the consumption of alcoholic beverages in parking lots and in cars while driving, which City Manager Cheney thought would stand. He suggested the Council consider doing nothing on this Ordinance, get a copy of the County Ordinance and take a position out of that Ordinance as it affects the City. City Manager Cheney was told that all law enforcement agencies in the County are required to enforce that Ordinance, and all fines from the enforcement of that Ordinance will go to the County. He suggested that they might want to adopt that Ordinance as a City Ordinance, go ahead and enforce it, but have the fines come to the City instead of the County. The City has to use its Policemen, and they have to go to Court to testify, so City Manager Cheney thought this was an oppor- tunity for the City to do it in a way that they could get the proceeds and still be cooperative with the whole County- wide process. Councilman Ferrell was in favor of what the City Manager just said. City Attorney Vance advised Mayor Cassandra that they could readvertise and put the Ordinance on first reading as another numbered Ordinance. This Ordinance will drop dead at this point. Councilwoman Zibelli wondered why nothing was said about what the fines would be. City Attorney Vance said it is identified as a misdemeanor, and the City has a general Ordinance that makes a misdemeanor in the City $500 or sixty - 15- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 days in jail. This applies to all misdemeanors. He said he will get a copy of the County Ordinance as rapidly as he can. There was more discussion. Councilman Ferrell moved to delete item "A, 1, Proposed Ordinance No. 86-5" from the agenda, seconded by Vice Mayor Zimmerman. Motion carried 5-0. City Attorney Vance said he would have this at the next meeting or the following meeting. B. Ordinances - 1st Reading Proposed Ordinance No. 86-6 Re: Amending Ordinance 80-47 relative to parking fees charged at the beach City Attorney Vance read proposed Ordinance No. 86-6 by title only: "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 16-82 OF THE CODIFIED ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, RULES, REGULATIONS CONTROLLING PARKING OF VEHICLES AT MUNICIPAL BEACH PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN T~E TOWN OF OCEAN RIDGE; PRO- VIDING FOR A REPEALING CLAUSE; PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES" City Manager Cheney advised that the Ordinance was only a technical change that relates to the 5% sales tax. Councilman Ferrell moved to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 86-6 on first reading, seconded by Councilman Hester. Mrs. Boroni took a roll call vote on the motion as follows: Mayor Cassandra Vice MayOr Zimmerman Councilman Ferrei1 Councilman Hester Councilwoman Zibelli Motion carried 5-0. Aye Aye Aye Aye Aye City Attorney Vance thought this type of thing might be better as a Resolution, as it will possibly be changed every so often, and there is really no reason to have something like this in our Code Book. The only concern Mayor Cassandra had was that there was such a hullabaloo on raising the fee. Normally, you do not have a public hearing with a Resolution. - 16 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 2. Proposed Ordinance No. 86-7 Re: Building Construction City Manager Cheney had not passed out copies of the Ordinance to the Council and explained that if they do not like his memorandum of March 31, they will not like the Ordinance. He explained that the City is in a situation where they have potentially affected two active building projects (Mahogany Bay and The Landings). He read his memorandum, which recommended that the requirement of automatic sprinkler systems in wood frame buildings exceeding two stories or 20 feet be eliminated from the City Code. City Manager Cheney said the City told Mahogany Bay and The Landings that the Code requires that they put sprinkler systems in their buildings. Mahogany Bay is well under construction, but they have not closed in any walls. There is a cost they would not have had if they had known this in the first place. Mahogany Bay has three stories in many of their buildings, two stories in some, and all of them have one hour fire protection walls. The Landings has two stories, is basically wood frame, some masonry protection is between some of the units, and it has an hour's protection. It falls under this requirement because the area over the ceiling is above 20 feet. Both of these projects are affected by this provision of the Ordinance which was not noted at the time the building per- mits were approved. The issue before the Council was whether to tell the projects to install sprinkler systems or wait two or four weeks while the Council gives it more consideration. City Manager Cheney brought it to the atten- tion of the Council because it was a money situation for the developers. These things have happened, and City Manager Cheney commented that the Courts have upheld that when a provision in the Zoning or Building Codes have been missed, the City can bring about compliance, and he told of some cases. He guessed that both the developer and the City had an obligation to know what the Codes are. There was discussion. City Manager Cheney told Councilman Hester this was because of the wood construction, and he said a lot of arguments have been made nationwide about where sprinkler systems belong and do not belong. It is not in the Fire Code that was adopted by the Standard Building Code organization. - 17- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 It seemed to Mayor Cassandra that it was a question of safety, and he referred to the City Manager's memorandum. City Manager Chene¥ said with the one hour pro~ection and smoke alarms in the building, there is a highly reasonable expectation that people will get out safely and that there will be a minimum of fire damage because the City has good response, fire hydrants, and a fire system that will func- tion well. There is an hour of protection between units. After more discussion, City Manager Cheney said other people who have reviewed it, including the County, have not felt it necessary to include this kind of requirement, which is in our Code. There was more discussion. Councilman Ferrell was also concerned about safety but wondered if the City had an un- reasonable requirement by today's standards and asked if everything the City had accomplished was worth it or if they wasted a lot of time and money making their system better. Mr. Howell advised that the intent of Fire Codes and Build- ing Codes is for the safety of the people in the buildings. There is no way that they can guarantee that a concrete building will not crumble and fall in a fire, but they try to see that people occupying buildings have time to get out of a building. The Code now gives those people an hour. The City's response time is five minutes, so Mr. Howell thought they would find that the County felt, when they addressed this, that the Building Code was adequate. The Building Code covers how the building is bUilt, and the Fire Codes for the building. At the time this Code was written, Mr. Howell thought it was probably needed in Boynton Beach because they took into con- sideration that they had nine Firefighters, one fire station, and no water pressure to amount to anything in a lot of areas. Now the City has the Technical Review Board, loop water systems, the pressure needed, fire hydrants close by, and good firefighting equipment. In Mayor Cassandra's mind, there was no justification for taking away more safety from the people. Mr°Howell brought out the fact that sometimes they become unfair to industry by what they require, and the people buying the buildings pick up the tab for the sprinkler systems. Mayor Cassandra asked if you had to put sprinkler systems above 20 feet for CBS or just wood buildings. Mr. Howell answered that it varies. When CBS gets over three stories, they have to put in sprinkler systems. - 18 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 Councilman Ferrell pointed out that this adds considerable costs, and affordable housing is hard to come by. This was adopted in 1973 in place of the things that did not exist. Councilman Ferrell thought the City had progressed over the last 13 years to get those things. There was more discussion. Mayor Cassandra felt the crisis was to relieve these two builders. City Manager Cheney said he raised the question now because it was the time to raise it, and it was unfortunate that two builders were involved. It did not seem to him that the City should tell them to install the sprinklers without thinking about it and raising the issue with the Council. If he had not raised the issue, City Manager Cheney thought the bUilders would have raised the issue anyway. Councilman Hester thought it was unfortunate that the builders did not know about the Code, but he thought they should have the added safety feature. City Manager Cheney informed Councilman Ferrell that the Council had copies of letters from Fire Chief RhOden and Mr. Howell saying they concurred with his recommendation. There was further discussion. Mayor Cassandra has seen where the Board of Adjustment and Appeals has granted variances on fire walls in other areas. If that was the case, he wondered if these builders could also go to that Board and override the decision the Council might make tonight. City Attorney Vance's opinion was that a variance from this Ordinance would be invalid. City anager Cheney added, "because that Building Board of Adjustment an~ Appeals comes straight out of the Building Co~e, and they relate to the Building Code. This provision is not in the Building Code. It is in the general City Ordinance." For some good reason, Vice Mayor zimmerman noticed we have not had too many multi-family, multi-story wooden construc- tions in the city and said these are probably the first two for some time. He thought maybe it was good that they had t~e Ordinance and developers were aware of it. Vice Mayor Zlmmerman commented that maybe they should just keep the O~dinance. He did not think Fire Chief Rhoden's letter was too specific as to what they should do with the Ordinance b~cause, in Chief Rhoden's opinion, relief might be given to these two people. Vice Mayor Zimmerman thought maybe the only way to give them relief would be to nullify the Ordinance. - 19 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 City Manager Cheney commented that it may well be that they have an opportunity for better design and more innovative design with the wood buildings than they have had with CBS. He explained and said the question was whether they wanted to keep wood frame buildings from being built. There was more discussion. Mr. Howell told the Council they will be seeing more and more wood frame buildings because of the Energy Code. It is much easier to meet the Energy Code with them. Mayor Cassandra thought maybe they should have an opinion from the fire prevention people. City Manager Cheney informed him that those people work with the Fire Chief, and they are a part of the Fi:re Department. It seemed to Councilman Ferrell that they were getting to where they were considering anything built of wood was a fire hazard. If they looked around town, he said they would see a lot of old wood buildings that have not burned down. Most of the northern community is wood, and it is still there. There was more discussion. Councilman Ferrell moved to go to first reading on the Ordinance because the first reading does not obligate any- thing, and it will enable the Members to do some research before the second reading. Vice Mayor zimmerman pointed out that there would be a public hearing too. The motion died for lack of a second. C. Resolutions Proposed Resolution No. 86-HH Re: Establishing Advisory Committee to review the City's Sign Code and rescinding Resolution 86-R TABLED Before taking this off the table, Mayor Cassandra wanted the Council to know that a question came up. Maybe five or seven people will be on this Committee from various areas of concern (Chamber of Commerce, a Sign person, a Member of the Downtown Review Board, a planning and zoning type person, and a citizen at large). In going down the rotational list, Mayor Cassandra was concerned that they may possibly miss someone from a particular area. City Manager Cheney had recommended that maybe the Council and citizens should give a list of names to the Mayor so he could break them down and pick from the appropriate areas. For example, he may have three names from Planning and Zoning, but there may be a person from the Chamber of Commerce with the same qualifica- tions, and there is no sense in having one of each. - 20 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 Councilman Ferrell asked if they could not delineate which area each Councilman would pick from by each of their names. Mayor Cassandra had recommended that to City Manager Cheney, but City Manager Cheney wanted the Council's approval because if he would pick, then he would have decided the areas the people came from and not the Council. City Manager Cheney explained that the Ordinance proposed more categories to be represented than there are people on the proposed body. Vice Mayor Zimmerman clarified that there are ten categories but only seven Members, so they will be leaving some empty or be doubling up. After more dis- cussion, City Manager Cheney said if the Council would go down the list and make appointments, they may end up with a good balance. Vice Mayor Zimmerman moved to remove Proposed Resolution No. 86-HH from the table, seconded by Councilman Ferrell. Motion carried 5-0. City Attorney Vance read proposed Resolution No. 86-HH by title only: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, ESTABLISHING AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THE ~URPOSE OF REVIEWING THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH SIGN CODE AND MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH RESPECT TO THE MODERNIZATION OF THE SIGN CODE AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION 86_R,, Councilman Ferrell moved to adopt Resolution No. 86-HH, seconded by Vice Mayor Zimmerman. Motion carried 5-0. Proposed Resolution No. 86-II Re: Endorsing a new interchange on 1-95 between Clint Moore Road and the C-15 Canal (Requested by Councilman Robert Ferrell) ~ouncilman Ferrell thought it was three months ago when the Council of Governments passed a Resolution for the cities to o along with this. Now that funding is available to ntertain different locations, each of the cities involved are passing Resolutions. Councilman Ferrell thought a good cooperative effort was coming on in the South County, and said the cities thought Resolutions from the individual cities would boost it along. tC~tyi Attorney Vance read proposed Resolution No. 86-II by tle only: - 21- MINUTES - REGULAR CITy COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, ENDORSING A NEW INTERCHANGE ON 1-95 BETWEEN CLINT MOORE ROAD AND THE C-15 CANAL, HAVING ACCESS ONLY TO CONGRESS AVENUE, AND FURTHER ENDORSING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A PARK AND RIDE TRAIN FACILITY AT THE SAME LOCATION" Councilman Ferrell moved to adopt Resolution No. 86-II, seconded by Vice Mayor Zimmerman. Motion carried 5-0. 3. Proposed Resolution No. 86-JJ Re: Library Fundinq By policy, City Manager Cheney said the State Librarian and his department (Secretary of State's Department) provide funding to what they like to consider the State Library system, which means County libraries and any library in any ity over 200,000. Municipal libraries have been fighting hat policy because they think they should get monies directly from the State. They do not get it through the County, and they are not going to if the County library does not represent them. City Manager Cheney said they think the tate should provide construction funds and any money they re going to provide to the County library system to munici- pally supported libraries like the City's. ~ity Manager Cheney said the current Bill being presented by Representative Bell before the House provides, as a ~atter of State law, that the State will o for the Count · g Y ~lbrary system. In addition, there is a proposed funding ~or library sources for the State money to pass out to the ~ounty libraries, and City Manager Cheney elaborated. He ~aid that would mean the City would pay 2% tax on any book ~hey buy for the City Library, and the City would not get any money back under the proposal. The City does not think it should pay the 2%, but if it does, they should get some money back. This Resolution addresses the issue of the 2% tax and the issue that the City is not considered a part of the fundable library system. This Resolution was passed by North Miami, and municipal libraries in the State are attempting to have similar Resolutions passed. The City hopes to communicate with Representative Bell and has communicated with Representative Messersmith requesting funding from the State budget for its library expansion. If the City cannot get the funding from the Director of Libraries, it hopes to get it from the State budget. City Attorney Vance read proposed Resolution No. 86-JJ by title only: - 22 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, REQUESTING THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE TO ENACT LEGISLATION TO PROVIDE FOR ACCESS BY MUNICIPALLY SUPPORTED PUBLIC LIBRARIES TO THE STATE LIBRARY GRANT FUNDING SOURCES" Councilman Ferrell moved to approve Resolution No. 86-JJ, seconded by Councilman Hester. Motion carried 5-0. THE COUNCIL TOOK A BREAK AT 9:30 P. M. The meeting resumed at 9:37 P. M. OTHER 1. Set Public Hearing for DRI - Deutsch-Ireland Properties In accordance with City Manager Cheney's request, Councilman Ferrell moved, seconded by Councilman Hester, to formally set the public hearing for April 22, 1986 at 7:30 P. M. in the City Council Chambers, City Hall. City Manager Cheney said if the Members had any. questions, they should talk to Carmen Annunziato, Director of Planning, prior to the meeting. A vote was taken on the motion and carried 5-0. 2. Approval of transfer - Group W Franchise This item was deleted from the agenda. 3. Approval of corrected deed for American Legion City Manager Cheney explained that it is officially not the Leroy Parker American Legion but American Legion Post No. 288, Inc., so the name on the deed was incorrect. Vice Mayor Zimmerman moved, seconded by Councilman Ferrell, to approve the execution of the corrective deed. Myra Gendel, Attorney at Law, Moyle, Flanigan, Katz, et al, P. O. Box 3888, West Palm Beach, Florida 33402, requested that the deed be signed tonight as the closing was scheduled for April 2, 1986. A vote was taken on the motion, and the motion carried 5-0. THERE WAS AN INTERMISSION FROM 9:40 P. M. UNTIL 9:45 P. M. so the Recording Secretary could get her Notary seal. The original deed was given to Attorney Gendel. - 23- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 OLD BUSINESS Consider proposal to employ lobbying services as a joint agreement with other Palm Beach County Cities TABLED Councilman Ferrell asked that this remain on the table. Be Accept recommendation for selection of engineering firm - Reverse Osmosis The Council had recommendations from City Manager Cheney through Perry Cessna, Director of Utilities. Councilwoman Zibelli had problems with the fact that there were no presentations by the two remaining firms. Mayor Cassandra had the same question, and he read what the Request for Proposals spell out. He assumed there were three high rank- ing firms and read from the Request that they would be invited for interviews by the Screening Committee and referred to the City Council for final selection in the order of preference, as determined by the Screening Committee. Mayor Cassandra asked if that meant the applicants had the legal right to present their case to the Council. City'  ttorney Vance thought theY could insist upon that right, ased upon the RFP. ity Manager Cheney told the Council that the Screening Committee reviewed the applications and concluded that only wo applicants met the requirements put forth. Therefore, here were only two responsive bids. City Attorney Vance's response was as to those two. City Manager Cheney continued ~hat there is a ranking, and his report said he did not feel it was necessary for the Council to interview a lot of firms and suggested if they interviewed any firms at all, they interview Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Inc. and CH2M Hill. The staff's recommendation was clear, but there was no suggestion that the Council could not interview the two firms if they wanted to. Mayor Cassandra's concern was that the Council would decide who they wanted to interview, and he wondered if they would put the City in jeopardy if they did not interview. Council- man Hester personally thought it was too technical for him to interview the firms, and he commented that the Screening Committee has more expertise than he does. City Attorney Vance agreed with Councilman Ferrell that the Council would not have any legal problems. In response to Councilman Hester, City Manager Cheney said the advantage of interview- ing one or two firms is that the Council would get a better understanding of what is going on. - 24 - MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA APRIL 1, 1986 There was discussion, and City Manager Cheney told Council- man Ferrell they should have a Workshop instead of a Special Meeting. Councilman Ferrell pointed out that some people may not be at a Workshop but if it was a Special Meeting where they would vote, it would make a lot of difference. City Manager Cheney said he would set up a Workshop, have the two firms, and give approximately an hour to each. Then the Council can vote on them. NEW BUSINESS ae Appointment of Seven (7) Members to Advisory Committee for purpose of reviewing City's Sign Code.  ayor Cassandra said the rotating list was put together by ity Manager Cheney.

The other nominations were as follows: Councilman Hester Vice Mayor Zimmerman Mayor Cassandra Councilman Ferrell Councilwoman Zibelli Nathan Collins Harold Blanchette (Member of Community Appearance Board) Joseph Molina Ronald Linkous Samuel Scheiner (Member of Community Redevelopment Agency) Cpuncilman Hester said he would have to wait before making his last nomination It was recommended that he appoint someone from the Chamber of Commerce.
