Wallace Mr. W~tlace stated it was always nice to review after the barn doer has been opened amd the horse gets out. ~ere were many things he would like te say in reference to the budget. One of the things he thoroughly disagrees with is the $t.00 across the board increase for trash collection for the home ouer. He thizdu? it is mmcalled for. T~e ether items atoug with that are im reference to the litter ordinance statimg that the home owner csnnot do certain things with certaim types ~f trash. The City has refused to pick up certai~ types of trash and he is wondering what they are supposed to do with it, unless they haul it away themselves. He then came back to the budget and stated his overallparti- cular objections. If they had kept the budget at the pre- posed millage, there would not be call at this particular time for an increase. We have made advances, bat looking at the true picture, we are about to m~ke the advances from the surplus from last year salaries such as federal revenue and use them in particular areas. He feels it is not necessary for this type of tax raise at this particular time. He referred to Mr. Roberts stating he did not wish to become the whipping boy of this particular budget and he could under- stand Mayor DeLong's statement in reference to rerunnimg for office. He stated this is a honest look at the budget as he sees it. It is not political, as he is not rerunning for office. He thiz~ks the citizens should give a honest look when it comes up for public hearing. Mr. Strnad stated this may be Mr. Wallace's opinion and he is entitled to it. However, his opinion is that they hired the City Manager to prepare the budget and he feels they should take his recommendation. Mr. Wallace stated that as far as an honest opinion is con- cerned, he wanted to ask Mr. Strnad if he looked into all these things. Mr. $trnad replied that he did look at this budget for two days. .Mr. Wallace replied that he just stated this was his honest opinion. He questioned how many times each person had refused to act upon an ordinance placed in the box late the same day? He was approached late in the afternoon in reference to coming to the budget hearing, All five members should be present at this hearing. This budget should be looked into as to the overall factors. - 14- MINUTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 6, 1974 ~L~yor DeLong stated he did not believe they were i~ order to get into this type of discussion at this particular time, for the simple reason that this is not a public hearing on the budget. He believed all comments should be reserved until the public hearing. Ne would make his comments at that time and give his reasons. Ee understands a~.d it was too had that ~~allace met with unfortunate c 1dent.* ~/~/ The work ef the City must go on. There was a majority of the Council members to attend the meetings. We are try- ing to work in the best manner possible. He did not believe anyone should have any short fuses. He believed everyome has done everything possible to make up this budget. Please save your remarks for the hearing. ~W BUS It~SS Mr. Strmad made a recommendation to raise the license fees in the City to all the people that have to get licenses. They have not been raised for some time. He questioned how long they had been in effect? Mrs. Padgett replied for only about three or four years. Mr. Roberts remarked that the majority are Coumty-wide. Mayor DeLong questioned if there was much of a difference in the charges between municipalities? Mrs. Padgett replied that Boynton Beach is lower im some imstamces thamsome cities. This ordinance was adopted about 1971 a~d there is a question as to whether it can be raised at this time. It must be checked with the City Attorney. Mayor DeLong questioned if it would be possible to make a spot check with other municipalities to see whether we are in line with them and then come back to the City Coumcil with recommenda- tions? Mrs. Padgett replied they would have to see if they could increase the rates first. She asked if he wanted this checked in all areas? ~or DeLong replied: yes, and it would give them somethimg to be guided by. Mr. Strnad stated that approximately two years ago, he and a group of people went Before the Comnty Commission and implored them to acquire 212 feet south of the inlet, which is badly needed for parking. It went to three different courts and finally the outfit that was supposed to build there went b~'upt. This lsmd is now available and the funds are also available. He suggested that this Council send a resolution to the Commissioners to give them support to obtain this prop- erty. Mayor beLong added that this area has been used by the public for fifty seme odd years. He thins what discouraged the Commissioners was that this beach front was not what was required for beach facility, but it is a great parking area. Once you have the par-king area there, you also have the docks for the fishing boats and you have ingress and egress, tf - * They endeavored to schedule the budget hearings, MINUTES - REGUtJ~ CiTY CO~ltCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACR, FLORIDA AUGUST 6, t974 the people can park on the land they are talking about pur- chasing, they can walk over to the north side and avail them- selves to the beautiful beach in Manalapam. He thimks the Ceumty Commission was not looking at it like this. Maybe there was a little pressers there not te permit that. It appears to him the more beach yo~ can get, the better it will be. Mr. Etrnad moved to send a resolution to the Co~ty Comm~ ssion stating that Boynton Beach supports Mr. Jsh~ssn's activities in attempting to acquire the property formerly k~ew~ as the Boynton I~let Docks. Mr. Ear~e~ing seconde~ the motion. No discassion. Motion carried ADMINISTRATIVE Report hy Fiscal Asent -..Mr. Alfred. Shepard Mr. Shepard submitted a proposal co~sistimg of a letter from his firm and a resolution accepting the terms of the letter. He read the proposed resolution. Mayor DeLong asked if there was a ceiling on the debt limit in reference to the interest? Mr. Shepard informed him that these bonds are issued by the?laws of the State. Ee added that the average interest rate is 7.22%. He explained the rating applied for Boynton Beach ~nd ths~t it had been upgraded. He added they hoped as Moody watches this City, that by the next t~me they come, they will have a higher rating. He stated they felt the offer is right o~ the m~ket. They have put Boynton Beach right in the middle of the market where they feel it should be and o~ that basis have made this offer, He referred to the good ~otographs of the City in the booklet. This is a City that has institutions, is a very attractive place to live and is good for marketing these bonds. He added that with 30,000 people, Boy~ton Beach does get atten- tion. He then gave the resolution to Mr. Simon and thanked the City Manager, the engineers on the site of the treatment planS,the City Clerk, etc. for all the information.

AUGUST 6, 974 Consider Request of Russell & Axon - Re: Expamsion of the City's ~ell Fields Mr. Kohl referred to the two letters ia reference to this. ~yor DeLong stated the letter from Russell & Axon was very informative, but he believed all the Council members had read it. Mr. Kohl then read his letter stating the ~ater Resources Section of the Florida Flood Control District advised Rmssell &Axo~ that they would have to recommend rejection of oar wells at the previously designated locations. He personally contacted Mr. Storch who is the head of the Water ResourcesSection of F.C.D. and he informed him that the above information is correct. He objects strenuously to this turn of events due to the time wasted and the f~mds expended to date in order to accomplish this project and now learn, at this late date, that we ca,not proceed as planned. He realimes the urgency and the need for these wells, and it is with great consternation that he feels ~e must accept the plum as outli~ed in ~he attached letter as these wells are urgently needed ~ut before doing so, he certainly thinks the City is entitled to a more valid reason for their recommenda- tions. It would appear that we must start this project from the beginning amd all f~nds and time previously expended has been wasted. He does not approve of using the United States Geological vey_for monitoring o~r wells, he feels that we can monitor the wells ourselves at a much lower cost. We feel our anticipated funds for the next four months will cover the costs involved for the constructiom of these wells if Council approves. Mayor DeLong stated he was jmst going to talk from prior ex- perience. Re believed by s~aying away from the United States Geological SUrvey, they were going to run into a bundle of MI~UTES - REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 6, 1974 trouble. He believed they should ~se their services as it has been beneficial im the past. Mr. Kohl reDlied that he omly stated this in reference to the monitorlmg of the wells. Mr. Harmeming stated that it was his ~derstanding for ms to participate in this program, it is going to cost approximately $50,000 a year. If we participate, we will only aid the U. S. Geological S~rvey to gain more data for them and ms. The prime data we are imterested im is the increase in the salt content is our well fields. We certaimly ca~ acquire from ~eighborimg towns the overall data prepared by the U. $. Geologieal Survey, We actual3qV have a monitoring program taking water samples and with the acquisitien of a few test wells and incorporatimg this data with data from other towns amd from U. S. Geological Survey data, we ca~ accomplish this at a mmch less cost. Mayor DeLo~g asked if there were matching funds a~d Mr. Kohl advised it would cost the City $13,000 a year. Mr. Milton Naltman from Russell & Axon appeared before the Council and stated he had a bundle of information. He stated Mr. Harme~ing was correct in some respects and also what Mr. Kohl has stated is correct, but possibly he could sum it up. What they would like to do is to meet with them and get a little better proposal for the City from U, S. Geological Survey in strictly a geological survey and net a monitoring system. In their proposal, there are certaim items the City ca~ do. They feel there is a savings in there for the City, but do recommend getting back with the U. S. Geological S~Lr- vey for a more practical study as soon as Mr. Rodis comes back to town as he is assigned to the Palm Beach area. There is a large void of information in the Boynton Beach area. They would like USGS to do a study further to the west. Possibly Boynton Beach can monitor wells to the east. We feel Mr. Kohl has made recommendations right in line with our recom- mendations. ~yor DeLe~g clarified that they would like to negotiate fur- ther with them. Mr. Hallman agreed, stating they would like to show them where they would like the test wells done. He added they had a preliminary meeting with the Flood Control District amd they are in agreement with the methods we are going. M~yor DeLeng qmestieme~ if he felt the USGS would have any objections if the City carried on their own monitoriag? Mr. Hallmam replied that Mr. Rodis would be glad for the City to do whatever the ~ity is able to do and extract that from their proposal. Mayor DeLong suggested gettimg this im writ- ing amd acceptimg this recommendatio~ with the request for Russell & _~xon te submit a written form from USGS stating they don't have any objection to ms doing our own momitorlng. - 18- MI~JTES - _REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 6, 1974 Mr. Harme~ing pointed out that it seemed that Russell & Axon was also seeking authorization ~o proceed with the P~lm Beach Goumty~chool Board to chamge location of wells. Mayor DeLong replied that this was included i~ the letter and Mr. Kohl was guided by that letter. Mr. Kohl clarified they were tryimg to get approval whether to proceed with the wells aud with Mr. Rodis of USGS. Nr. Hallmamasked them to refer to Page ~ of his letter where each thing is itemized. Mr. Earmenimg moved to accept the proposal as stated on Page 7 o~ the comm~m~ication dated July 29, 1974 from Russell & Axon, with the exceptio~ of the Seaboard COast Lime Railroad a~ also subject to Mr. Rodis'.recomme~dation im reference te USGS ~etermimimg cost. Mr. Wallace seconded the mo~ioa. Underd'~seuss~on,' Mayor ~eLomg remarked this weald cost guite a lot. Mr. Hallman stated they pl~ed to talk to Mr. Kohl about this to see where momey is available. Mayor DeLo~g replied thatif they had to go into the market for $250,000 revenue issue, it shows some lack oasomebo~y's part that this was not all orgamized ~ogether, Mr. Harme~i~g remarked that nobody in the State of Florida amticipate~ the creation of the new Water Resources Pivisiom affecting these counties and the fact they would step in so quickly with s~ch firm powers. Mayor DeLo~g replied that about 18 months ago, this Council was to go west for well f±el~s a~d did k~ow this awhile ago. The City was told by Russell & Axon to move their fresh water wells to the west. Mr. Harmening stated this was correct, but it was designed for future expansion. Mayor DeLong remarked that the future is here. Motion carried 5-0. ~onsider Change Order #2 for Upgrading and Expamsion of Waste Water Treatment Facilities .Mr. Kohl ascertained that correspondence from Russell & Axon regarding this Change Order #2 amd a copy of the Supplementary Agreement indicating the breakdown of this Change Order were before Council. He also asked them to note that they have re- quested an additional 60 days for completion of this project due to the uaavailability of cast iron pipe. He concurs with both requests. Mayor DeLo~g advised that he read this whole thing over and made a study at the plant. Mr. Harmening moved to accept the City Ma~ager,s recommenda- tion to Change Order #2 for Upgrading ~ud Expansion for Waste Nater Treatment Facilities, seconded by Mr. Wallace. No discussiom.

He concurs with their recommendation. Monies are available in Revenue Sharing Funds. Mr. Harmening moved to accept the City Manager,s recommenda- tion to accept the reqmest of the Community Relatioms Board relative to the increase of salaries. Mr. ~allace seconded the motion. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0. Appointments Board to Board of Adjustment and Community Appearance Mayor DeLong announced they were supposed to have three ap- pointments to the Board of Adjustment for alternate members. He stated he had one to recommend as an alternate. He added he thought this man was going to be a very good~pointment, because they are now going to have a Professor of Law. He thought somebody was needed that could give them some guid- ance. He then read a resume from Prof. Sidney Schwartz, 1006 S. W. 18th Street. He said he thought he had a very splendid background. Mr. Roberts remarked that they should give him a job on the Council. Mayor DeLong stated this was his recommendation for one of the vacancies. There are still two more members needed for them to function with a full board. At least we are getting nearer. Mr. Harmening moved to accept Mayor DeLong's recommendation to appoint Prof. Sidney Schwartz as au alternate member of the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Strnad seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor DeLong requested that the necessary notices be sent. Motion carried 5-0. In reference to the vacancy on the Community Appearance Board, ~m.

He recommends that we dismiss Touche Ross as the Gity Auditors fer the following reasons: 't I. They have been in the ¢1 y ten (10) months a~d after presenting their final audit report for the Genera~ Fund on July 30th, the Finance Director noted that many items were inaccurate or misleading amd were ef such a material nature that Touche Ross had to recall this report for corrections. nome of the aud±tors they sent to perform this audit were not permanent staff employees and not versed in municipal accounting. 3. As indicated a~eve they far exceeded their contract agreement. ~e were promised the audit report by J~ue 15th, parti- cularly since we are in the process of a bond issue and as of this date, still do not have the General Fmnd Report. Further, it was brought to our attention that although the City was in urgent ~eed of this audit report, the partner who w~ in charge of the audit, in the mean- time, did take a three week vacation with complete disregard for our immediate requirements. It is therefore, for the above reasons and the fact that we believe a local medium sized firm we~ld be in closer touch with the need~ of our City a~d better able to perform the services we require, that we recommend Touche Ross be terminated as auditors for the City of B~ynton Beach. Mayor DeLemg in~ire~ as to what action should be taken i~ re- ferenceto the $3,500? Mr~ Kohl replied that ~ntil he re- ceived a complete audit report a~d report from the Fi~ce Director, he suggested they do not pay it. Mayor DeLong stated he heard some talk abent not paying them at all and possibly i~stituti~g a suit. Mr. Kohl replied this was true, b~t a suit costs money a~d time~ Mr. Ro~erts referred to Item 4 and questioned if theY had re- ceived this report yet and Mr. Kohl replied they ha~ not. -21 - MI~7~TE~ - REGULAR CITY CO~CIL ~ETING BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA AUGUST 6, 1974 Mayor DeLeng stated he signed a~ $8,000 check the other day amd then foumd out they did not get the report. Mr. Kohl informed him the report was net correct, but they stated they would not brimg the correct report ~ntil we paid the $8,000. Mr. Str~ad questioned if they had received a letter in reference to the discrepancies and Mr. Kohl advised t~mt they did for that. There is another one going to be sent which has not been received stating the progress of the City ef Boynton Beach as far as the fi~nce records. Mr. Str~ad said this ~was the one he meant. Mr. Wallace referred Back to whether they should institute a suit or not. He asked what the actual cost would be and how mmch of the $3~,500 they would get back? Zmasmuch as they stated fmlly certified people would Be doing the audit amd this was not done, what t~pe of action would we he getting imto? ~ould we have legal ~asis for suit? Mr. Eimon pre- sented several qmestions in response. Were they represent~ i~g to the City Council they would perform certain areas of work with certain qualified people? tf the City takes the p~sition they have not lived up to that end of the bargain? If they produced the prod~ct? If the product is unsatisfac- tory a~d then the fail~re ~o provide the ~ervices or people is taken into co~ideration. A~other thing is in reference to the $31,500. Yom are ~oceeding in the right way by stat- lng when you receive the ~inal report, you will pay for it smd this is what you shoul~ do. Mr. Wallace questioned the fact that they submitted em incorrect report amd Mr. Sime~ replied he did not knew how far off base they were. They ca~ readily show some cases of slight errors. You have te get into a substantial departure from accounting procedures. Mayor DeLong stated he Believed they could not take any ac- tion until they received the final report. He suggested tabling this. Mr. Harmening pointed out they must still consider the termination. M~yor DeLong smggested postponing the whole thing, because if they terminated them now, they may not get the final report. It was his understanding that when the fiscal egents had asked for thim report that these people wanted to feed back $5,000 and the City Manager did some shopping and found out we could get it at a reduced amount. He was led to believe that we have the right to bring in anyone we wanted to. Mr. Kohl advised that as far as amditors were concerned,one will not ~egin an audit of a City until one is terminated as far as ethics. F~. Harmening moved to terminate the services of Touche Ross as the City auditors, seconded by Mr. Wallace. Under discussion, M~. Roberts stated he hoped we were not paying that money an~ ~.

Under discussion, Mr. Earmenimg ~uestioned whom they might be planning to engage? Mayor DeLomg also asked if they would be engaged just for this one specific project? Mr. Kohl advised he had Callaway, Carpenter, May & Company of West Palm Beach in mind a~d hoped they would stay. Mr. Harme~.~g said he was thimking of having three names sub- mitted for consideration. Mr. Wallace pointed out that Mr. Kohl stated he needed the information in a hurry as far as Mr. Shepard was concerne~ and how s~on could it Be done with submitting names? Mr. Harmeni~g replied t~s should be con- sidered for permanent aadi~ors. Mr. Wallace stated he be- lieved Mr. Kohl wanted them just for the fiscal project and if they are satisfactory, we can extend their services. Mr. Kshl advised them it would cost $3,000 for the AlfredShepard project.
