PUBLIC AUDIENCE Mr. John Rh/md, 9111 N.E. 1st Court, asked for Council's consideration for a sidewalk or some measure of safety which could be taken along 22nd Avenue, from N.E. 1st Court to the shopping center. It was noted that the City Ms~ager would look into this matter. Mr. Floyd VanDeusen, 227, N.E. ~Z2nd Avenue, pointed out that 22nd Avenue might eventually be four-laned and if a sidewalk was put in, it would have to be torn out at expense to the City. Mr. Kohl said he would check everything out. Mr. John Evans, Attorney representing Teleprompter Corporation, re- quested approval of Teleprompter's request for a rate increase to the residents of Boynton. Mr. Kohl read his letter for the agenda, explaining that Mr. Evans had contacted him by phone requesting a meeting with him and the City Attorney which Mr. Kohl declined. In view of the subj eot in- volved, he explained to Mr. EVans that he did not feel a meeting would be fruitful inasmuch as the request for a rate increase is completely under Council's jurisdiction according to Ordinance 68-17 adopted August 5, 1968 and only the City Council would be able to take action on this request. He therefore suggested that Mr. Evans appear before City Council during Public Audience. Mr. Kohl noted a copy of Mr. Evans' letter dated May 92, 1975 and the entire file with back-up material that has transpired prior to this recent re- quest~ inasmuch as the Finance Director, Mr. Kribs, has attempted to get this matter clarified perviously with the City Attorney. Mr. Kohl said if Council prefers, he would get together with the City Attorney, Finance Director and Mr, Evans to obtain a feasibility report and negotiate on subject increase with Mr. Evans and report back with the findings. Mrs. Jackson moved that the City Manager get together with the City Attorney, Finance Director and Mr. Evans, obtain a feasibility report and report back to Council at the next meeting.

Mr. Harmening moved for the adoption of ResolutienNo. 75-MM, seconded by Mrs. Jackson. Under discussion, Hr. DeLong said although the plan that has been submitted looks good on paper, he recalled that several years ago there was a cut at about the same place as that proposed. He believed at that time, the County Engineers in conjunction with the Town of Ocean Ridge considered it as a hazardous cut and the agreement on the rearrangement of the traffic flow was contingent upon closing that cut-off which has since been dome. He did not wish to see the re-establishment of a hazard that had been eliminated, Unless it was absolutely necessary due to heavy bus traffic and with the addition of someone directing traffic or a traffic light. Mrs, Jackson stated that this Resolution did not refer to the drawing submitted by the Liaison Officer (Mr. Cleary) and this was something to be worked out by the County, along with Ocean Ridge, the City Manager and the Liaison Officer. Mayor Roberts noted that there were no buses when this hazard existed in the past and this Resolution was in the form of a request to install a turn around for the buses. After some further discussion, Hr. DeLong reviewed the Resolution and stated that he didn't like the wording which stated the turn around is to be at the municipal beach. It was clarified that the Resolution stated "in the vicinity" of the municipal beach. Mr. DeLong noted that the representatives of the Trenspor~ation Department have already been selecting the sites at the public beach and this was a matter of going through the motions. He did not wish to go along with the plan suggested by the Liaison Officer.

Mr. Pippin, Mrs. Jackson moved that the City Manager contact/the County Com- mission, the City Manager of Ocean Ridge and Mr. Cleary the Liaison Officer to implement the above Resolution. Mr. Strnad wished to know exactly what Mr. Cleary's recommendations would be, as what he had presented was not necessarily Council's wishes. Mrs. Jackson it was up to everyone to have a meeting of the minds and there no set ideas as to where the turn around would be. It was felt that Mr. Cleary's drawing would not be considered at this time. Mr. Cleary came forward and recalled to Council that a letter had been received in which the Palm Beach County Transportation Advisory Board threw this matter back to Council to suggest a possible turn around for buses at the beach. Just because a recommendation is made does not mean it has to be done. The Mayor felt there would he no harm in passing the Resolution or Mrs. Jackson's motion and Mr. DeLong re-stated his concern about the re-establishment of a traffic hazard. Mr. Kelly cf the Planning & Zon~img Board con- cuffed that action had been taken to remove the cut-off in question. Mrs. Jackson added to her motion that Mr. Kohl seek the advice of anyone he feels necessary, such as Traffic engineers so that an agreeable solution could be worked out, and presented to Council. Mr. DeLong suggested that Ocean Ridge would go along with a solution of continuing a sidewalk from the block of sidewalk that's on the west side of A1A from Ocean Avenue going north. Discussion ensued about the minimal use of the buses in that the residents are not yet accustomed to them. The Mayor felt that nothing would be allowed that is a hazard. After some ~urther comment, Mr, Harmening seconded Mrs. Jackson's motion. Mrs. Jackson said she received a letter .recently from someone who uses the buses and is glad a turn around ms being planned.

Mr. Strnad said his easement was not used. Mr. Zi11's easement also was not used, as the letters that Mr. Strnad had before him indicated. Mr. Strmad was wondering what is the purpose of giving an easement, besides putting a sewer line on it if it is not going to be used. Pit. DeLong said he understood why Mr. Strnad did not wish to become embarrassed because he had read a letter written by a local attorney in reference to his client, which singled Mr. Strmad out. He asked for an ~iniom of the City Attorney regarding the ISG Lateral -- was this included in the 81,250,000 sewer expansion? Mr. Simon answered yes. It was clarified that those people who were included in -the ~1,250,000 sewer expansion d/d not have to pay any sewer hook-up at that time. Mr. DeLong wished to know %Faether the people along Federal H~ghway from the Farmer in the Dell, past Strnads', up to the Well--had to abide by t~he City's subsequent Ordinance charge~ through no fault of their own. They were therefore deprived of ~/~e same consideration tha~ was given to the other people who were serviced heoause the cent=actor had not the Ordinance requiring a charge went into Mr. not have all the facts regarding this matter. Mr. Joe Swan, Engineering Manager of Russell & Axon, referred Mr. Simon to the sta~ 30B-32 regarding the sewer connection charge, item No. 2~C and attempted to explain the situation to Council. Mr. Swen said easements were requested of Mr. Strnad and his neighbors. Mr. Strnad had grented his easement and it was recorded. Mr. Swan ad,ed that Mr. Zi11's easement was used. Discussion then ensued regarding the erection of a chain link fence at Mr. Zi11's proper~y, although the Helaleuca trees which were supposed to have been cut doun ~ere still standing. Mr. Swan said that Lauderdale Contracting would have come back to complete the work for a price, which was too high according to the ~.Onsulting Engineers. He further clarifie~ that obtaining easements is the duty of the City Engineer. Mr. DeLomg noted that Idr. Strnad was entitled to every consideration in line with all other citizens regardless of whether or not he is a member of City Council.

He complained that the two-way radios are also used for personal matters rather than business. He wished the City would have someone monitor the frequencies and said the interference goes on all day. Hr. Mignon added that he was not objecting to the C~uneil's issuance of any permit. In view of the fact that Council has now seem a copy of the license granted by the F.C.C., Hrs. Jackson moved that the permit for Ben Johns~'s radio tower be granted. Mr. Kohl advised that Mr. Johnston had his area all cleaned npo Regarding the charge of oonmt~c~ing without a permit, Mr. Kohl said this would have to he cleared up by the courts. Since the tower was already up, and Fir. Johnston's violation had not been handled as yet by the courts, Mrs. Jackson withdrew her motion and moved to_~able this item until it was de- termined what action the courts would take. Mr. DeLong seconded. Motion carried 5-0. Discuss Utility Deposits - Counci~mm~ Strnsd should Mr. Strnad felt Council[~ensider crediting the residents with their utility deposits, such as that which is done by the telephene company, etc. The City is investing the money and he felt the taxpayers should get a certain percentage back. Mrs. Jackson questioned whether or not this would be a violation of the Bonding Agreement which states there shall be no preferent~ial treatment. Mayor Koberts said he questiened this five years ago and he was told that municipalities do not have to pay interest. Council discussed at some length whether or not the City would be permitted to do this, what other cities follow such a procedure and how it can be done. Mrs. Jackson moved to turn this item over to the City Manager for exploration in ~enjunction with the City Attorney and to report their findings and reco~nendati~ns hack to Council. Mr. DeLong seconded. Mrs. Jackson suggested including Mr. startzm~n in the -- 14 MI~UTES OF RF~UIAX CITer COUNCIL MEETING OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLOKIDA, HELD AT CITY MALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1975. study as he was familiar with the bonding agreement, however, Mr. DeL~ng felt that no one involved in policy making of the City sbmuld be involved.

Mr. Kohl therefore asked for Co~ncil's concurrence on tl~s recommendation. Mr. Strnad complimented Hr. Kohl's efforts on behalf of the Boat Ramp in Lake Park a number of years ago and felt there should be a similar program in Boynton Beach. It would bring some money into the City an4 also keep things under control at the Boat Ramp. Mr. Strnad moved to folIow the City Manager's recommendation above, seconded by Mrs. Jackson.

ADMINISTRATIVE: Bo Consider Revised Regulations Our Municipal Beach for Beach Decals for The use of the beach decal system to regulate p~tronage of our public beach has become a cumbersome process. At best, the system is only ~ partially successful in providing more available parking spaces for residents. Due to increases, in our City's pop3alation~ coupled with the limited number of total parking spaces available, we will continue to experience overflow crowds during our Flori~t~ Season regardless of the system designed to regulate, use. The existing system does 'not operate on a self--sustaining basis, as expenses total more than revenue received from the non-resident park~ lng fees. Unless additional parking spaces are provided, we may con- tinue to anticipate overflow crowds and traffic congestion. To tight- en.the issuance of beach decals and to provide additional revenue, the following measures could be taken: 1. ComDlete Re-issue of Beach Decals: Since the initiation of the system, 18,696 decals have been issued as of May 12,1975. Many ~ecals have been voided, reported lostt or are currently possessed by non-residents. The following procedures should be followed on re-issue: Allow three (3) month period for residents to obtain' decals with old decals void as of November 1, 1975. B. Advertise new issue through the Shopper, hand-outs at beach entrance, and other news media available. C. Continue to use the window decal system. D. Change color system of the new decals. 2. Charges for Decal Issues: Charges for decal issues would greatly increase revenue and aid in offsetting the expenses of operating the park- ing control system. The following charges could be made: Page No. t Agenda June 17, 1975 RE: Regulations for Beach Decals Charge $1.00 for the first decal issued to a resident vehicle. Charge $t.00 for a re-issue, provided remains of the original decal are turned in at the time of re- issue. If remains are not turned in, charge $5.00 for the re-issue. B. Annual Permit: Many area residents not within the corporate limits of Boynton Beach have complained that they help support the City and its economy, but yet must pay daily park- ing fees. Consideration should be given to county residents allowing the purchase of an annual permit. The fee could be set by Council. However, it should be recognized that this permit system would add to the crowded parking conditions. 3. Temporary Passes: This pass was designed to accommodate visitors who are staying in Boynton with residents. Use of temporary passes has increased greatly. To red~ce these, the following is recommended: A. Limit the passes to a four week time period and charge $5.00 for the issue of the pass. Use of Motel Admissions: Motel patrons shall be issued temporary passes~ the same as visitors at a fee of $1.00 per week. 5. '.Vehicle Classifications: Redefining vehicles as they relate to designated parking areas would provide better guidance to attendants who must regulate the systems. A. Motorcycles, motorbikes, and motor scooters shall park in designated areas on the upper level° B. Automobiles only shall park in upper level spaces. Ail other motor vehicles including all vans, campers, trucksv buses and trailers shall p~Lrk in lowertevet spaces. Page No.2 Agenda June 17, 1975 RE: Regulations for Beach Decals If the intent is to allow only automobiles in utmper level parking, then this should be specifically mentioned in t~e ordinance, as many complaints are now received from van and pick-up truck owners. Ordi- nance can be changed to be more specific as it relates to vehicles and upper and lower level parking. SUMMARY: These recommendations of beach operations are submitted for your re- view, change, and additions. Those actions agreed to by City Council should be initiated as soon as possible to avoid confusion during the coming winter season° Two attachments are included which were con- sidered when Mr. Fredericks and I prepared these proposals. We attach newspaper article we submitted to you ~nd the City Attorney on March 21, 1975 for your review. FK:apt Attachments 2 pages / ×ohX. City ~ana~er Page No. 3
