P~IBLIC AUDIENCE
M~. Floyd Van Deusen, 2~7 N.E. 22nd Avenue, re£ezTed to his comments
at the last meeting and complained of a t-~uck moving a house through
his street at 5:05 A.M. He questioned why there was a "No T~ucks~'
sign at the east end of the street and none at the west end end asked
that this be corrected. He also asked about the status of the traffic
light to be put up at the end of his street. Mayor DeLong advise~
that these matters would be handled administratively.
Mm. John Stevens, 715 N.W. 4th Street, Member of the Community Rela-
t-ions Board, asked that consider.at, ion be 9~ven to She appointment of
Mr. John Rayl in place of Rev. White, who advised Shat it would b.e
impossible to serve on the Board this year. Mm. ~yl'.s address ~.$
516 N.W. 3rd St-meet. Mm. Stevens also asked if Council had received
some material from Mrs. Haire and Mm. Kohl advised~he had n.ot received
it but had seen the Board's m/nutes which mention~ that this material
was to be expected. Council decided to take up the Q~estion o~ Mr.
Rayl' s appointment under OLD B~SINESS.
Mr. Howard Mallory, 820 Canal Drive, Chapel Hill, said he was a
builder and asked for the status of the septic tank and sewer situa-
tion. Mr. Kohl advised that he was currently waiting for a letter
from the Department of Pollution Control. He expected information
the following da~ in regard to the moratorium rega~t~ng permits which
had been issued to a particular date in October or November. He had
MINUTES OP REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF THE CItY OF BOYNTON BEACH~

no other information about the moratorium and said if Mr. Mallory
advises the office of the City M~nager where he wishes to build a
home with a se~cic tank, it can he dete~rmined whether or no~ the~e will
he sewers there within a two-year period. It was further clarified
that current procedure p~ovided for a builder tO get a pertinent
letter from the City for presentation to the County.
~L~. Will,am Scholz, ll]8 Sake Terrace~ asked if Council intended to
bring up the question about the water rates tonight or at another meet-
Lug. Mr. Kohl explained that he had t-~ied to ~each M~. Scholz today
but was unable to do so. He said he had met with the City Attorney,
Engineer and Utility System Supervisor, after which the City Attorney
will have a letter of interpretation for the Council and Mr. Scholz.
Discussion ensued during which ~. Scholz questioned why he and other
members.of b/s committee were not given the opportunity to present
their views to. the attorney before he made his interpretation of the
ordinance.:
Mayor D~,Lon~. polled the Council members to see how they felt about
~b~.'.ving M~. Scholz and other ~esidents from Le~sureville meet with the
City ~ttorne¥ for discussion abou~ his legal ~nterpretatior~
Mr, Wallace felt this would be putting the cart before the hor~e, as the
City A~to~ey must come back to Council with his views, after which the
Council must make a decision as to whether or not they are going to
follow a. particular route. He felt after these t~.o steps were taken:
it was tSen time for the public to approach Council with argl~nents pro
or con.
Discussion continued wherein Mr. Scholz expressed his feelings that at
the workshop meeting two weeks previously, he understood there would
be an opportunity to meet with the City Manager and City Attorney, so
he had withdrawn his request for discussion of this subject at the
previous Council meeting. He felt that he and his group should be
pe~nzitted to present their viewpoint to the City Attorney before he made
his interpretation.
After further discussion, Mm. Roberts stated if it would create a little
peace and harmony to have the requested meeting, although he didn't
feel it would have too much effect on the Ordinance~ he would go along
with the request,
Mayor DeLong said if the Council received the City Attorney's interpre~
ration within the next day or so and the other members of Council
agreed that it would be all right for Mr. Scholz and his committee to
meet with the City Attorney~ the matter could probably be brought up
at the next regular meeting.
Mr. Roberts felt it was to be assumed that after any such meeting be-
tween the City Attorney and the group: the Attorney's decision would
be made known to the Council and not at that pa~icular meeting.
MINUTES OF REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF THE CiTY OF BOYNTON BEACH~
FLORIDA, HELD AT CITY HALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUAR~ 19, 1974.
Mr. Strnad felt it would be agreeable to allow the group to meet with
the City Attox~ney if it would provide any consolation to the~.
Mm. Wallace disagreed as he felt this was a legal matter for which the
City Attorney was hired in o~der to bring his interpretation to Coun-
cie He felt a Pandora's box might be opened as other ?o.u? might
come foz4ch to meet with the At'co,ney regarding their ob3eetzons before
items are brought to Cour~ih
Mrl Harmening said he had no objection to the g~oup meeting with the
City Attorney as he had faith in the legal interpretation that wf~lld
be made.
Mr. Roberts didn't feel that a Pandora's box would be opened and said
he would agree to having the meeting. Mayor DeLong also said he wO~ld
agree to having the meeting and added that he wo~ld prefer not to
receive a copy of what transpired so he would not have any advanced
knowledge of the disoussior~ In this way he could approach the sub-
ject in a fair and equitable manner. He added that if or when the
Attorney renders his decision, Mr. DeLong did not intend to substitute
his judgment for the Attorney's and if there is any dissatisfactiOn~
it would have to be taken up in Court.
Mr. Scholz expressed appreciation for the Council's views and the
opportunity to meet with the City Attorney.
Mr. R. B. Vastine, 132 Leisureville Boulevard, said he would like to
clarify for the reco~d that he was not in argument with Mr. Scholz,
but wished to point out that Mr. Scholz represents the Leisureville
Condominium Apartment Association and not. the Leisureville Community
Association. Mr. Scholz said he made thms clear at the last meeting.
Mr. I~vin9 Dubin, 250 N.E. 26th Avenue, Village Royale, complained
of th? darkness ~md lack .of lights i~. his oomph..'U and asked that.
the City contact Mr. Collmer of Flormda Power & Light to see if thins
project could be huz~3ied along. Mr. Kohl explained that he has done
evez~thing in his power to help in this situation and discussion
ensued about how much time has elapsed since, these light?were promise~.
and about the difficulty in general of getting such pre3ects completed.
Discussion returned to Fir. Van Deusen's earlier question regarding
the status of the traffic light at N.E. 22D~ Avenue and Mr. Kohl ad-
Vised that the last information he received conoerned electrical power
to the traffic light and the Department of Transportation ms con-
tinuously being followed up concerning this matter.

(2500/280).
M~, Wallace moved to award the l~w bid to Keatts Trucking Company per
the recommendation of the City Manager, seconded by M~. Harmening.
Mr. Kohl advised that the City contacted six companies and Keatts
was the Only one who came back with a bid~ . 'There was no further
discussion. Motion ca~ied 5-0.
Cold Mix and Asphalt Type II (Annual Bid)
Mr. Kohl referred to his letter for the agenda and other pertinent
information pertaining to this bid item. He concurred with the Tabula-
tion Committee that the bid be awarded to Rubin Construction Company,
the only bid received, for: Cold Mix 8 $21.75/ton, F.O.B. Boynton
Beach and Alphalt Type II ~ $16~25/ton F.O.B. Boynton Beach. Funds

unstable price of liquid asphalt and other petroleum
products, including petroleum related services, this bid
is submitted subject to the following:

for a period of 50 days from date of bid opening.
This period can be extended on a month-to-month
basis by mutual consent.
Orders for Cold Mix will be accepted only on as-
available basis or in minimum 50-ton lots."
Mr. Kohl noted the City is in this critical situation in many cases.
Mr. Harmening moved to accept the City Manager's recommendation and
award the bid to Rubin Const~ction Company, seconded by Mr. Strnad.
Mr. Roberts asked if there would be any problem regarding the 50-ton
lot. Mr. Kohl said the City would purchase this on an as-available

basis and would stock-pile as much as can be used. Motion carried
5-0.
Gasoline, Diesel Fuel & Oils (Annual Bid)
Mr. Kohl referred this item to the Purchasing Agent, Bill Sullivan,
to apprise Council of the details.
Mr. Sul]%van advised that one bid was received for diesel fuel at
35. 4¢ per gallon f~om Seaorest Petroleum Company and the bid was
based on the !97~ allocation which was alSo supplied by Seacrest
Petroleum. Federal Allocation is set up so that the supplier in 1972
is the supplier in 1974. No bids were received frc~ Standard Oil,
Ewxon or Shell f~r gasoline requirements. Gulf Oil, which is the
present supplier and was the supplier for 1972 advised that they had
sent a bid in the mail, but it was never received. The new price
of Gulf No-Nox meceived by phone would be raised to 36.69¢ per gallon.'
The GoodGulf or Regular gasolinewillbe raised to 52.60 per gallon.
The oil will be based on the 1972 p~ices and w~ll be escalated as
sources ei~her become limited or tz%icking becomes mo~e expensive .
Mr. S~van said he was also requested to fill out an FEO~.~-117 fo~mtO
increase the allocation to the City.
Mr. Eohl recommended getting the diesel fuel from Seac~est Petroleum
as bid and also to ~etain Gulf as the supplier for the other items
and discussion ensued in that this was the only route to follow ,
otherwise pez~aission would have to be obtained from the Federal
Government in order to obtain a new source.
Mr. Wallace questioned the legality of proceeding to accept the pro-
posal from Gulf inview of the fact that their bid was not yet
received. Mr. Rickey felt if the bid was not received, it could
not be accepted and it was felt by Council that since there was no
control over the mails, perhaps bids should be hand delivered.
M~. Kohl interjected that the Federal guidelines provided that the
1972 supplier shall also be the supplier for 1974 and Gulf was the
supplier. Mr. Wallace asked if the City could verbally make a
commitment to the Gulf dealership at this particular tim~ and have
Gulf re-submit a bid. Mr. Kohl asked for permission to continue with
these suppliers.
After some further discussion, Mr. Harmening moved to accept the
recommendation of the City Manager to aw~d the bid for diesel fuel
to Seacrest Petroleum Company in the amount of 55.4¢ per gallon ,
excluding taxes and award the bid to Gulf Oil for the other items
in that they are the companies that the City has done business with
in the past. Mm. Roberts seconded. No discussion. Motion carried
5-0.

the Employees Penslo~ Board in January, 197D, to seZve two-year te~ms

other than the o~e m2ntioned by Mr. Stevens earlier this evening. Mr.
Roberts advised that an alternate was needed on the Plumbing Board
for a one-yea~ te~m, with one recommendation made -- Mr. Mike
McLaughlin, a resident, licensed M~uste~ Plumber. Mr. Roberts then
verified with Mr, Ba~ett that M~. ~n~ Schmidt, Plumbing Inspector,
should also serve on the Plumbing Beard. Mr. Roberts made these
two ~econ~aendation$ in the fo~m of a motion, seconded by Mr. Wal!aee.
U~der discussion, Mr. ~enin9 questioned wheth~ o~ not a F~ste~
~lumbe~. was a3~eady on the Board as he thought the vacancy existed
or a ~ourneyman plumber or a layman. He wondered if ths~e would be
any complication in having two Master Plumbers on the Board.
Mr. Baz~ett advised that Mr. Tom Canavan, who was a member of the Board,
was also a Maste~ Plumbe~ but he womld have to check further to see
if this was permitted. Pur~he~ cor~ideration was ~iven to the possi-
bility that Fn~. Canavan mig!et presently hold an inactive license which
M~. Baz~ett would vezdzfy, however, he would still be considered a
Maste~ Plumber.

~. Robe~cs said a couple of alternates were needed on the Board of
Adjustment. He added that in visiting some of the Boards to get
acquainted, he found that some of the new, as well as the old, members
didn't know too much about their dutiesL He requested Council to
have the City Clerk or someone ~rom the City Manager's o~fice make
a copy of Section 51-15 o~ the City Code ~e~az~iing the duties of
the Board of Adjustment in particular and see that each membe~ gets
one, including the alternates. Council agreed and it was decided
that this would, be handled administratively.
Discussion then ensued re~ardin9 vacancies and the moving up of
alternates on a board, with additional appointments being put in as
alternates. Mr. Roberts z~fe~red to Mr. Kohl's lette~ ~or the agenda

means an "a~tomatic d~op". Couilcil decided to see if they could come
up with a couple of alternates to be appointed at the next meeting.
Mm. Roberts then referred to another item in Mr. Kohl's letter for
the agenda pertaining to the telmLination of the Charter l~evi~ion
Committee which was to take place after the second meeting in
February. Nm. Roberts asked about the status of the final draft
for the three items that weme supposed to be put out for referendum.

Mayor DeLong said he has had a lengthy discussion with County Commis-
sioner, Mr. George Warren~ and it appearS that he is most faVorable
to a suggestion of a 5-year capital /mprovements plan to gutter, curb,
and sidewalk and 4-iane with a median strip, Seacrest Boulevard f~om
one end of the City limits to the other. Mayor DeLong said he has
been p~ivile~ed to quote Mr. WaxTen that he will get this moving
immediately and it is intended to he a five-year project. Mayor
DeLong requested that a motion be made for a Resolution to be drafted
fo~ adoption and sent to the County Commission.
Mr. W~]laee moved that a Resolution be d~afted and forwarded to the
County Comission with a recommendation for a five-yea~ plan for the
completion of 4 lanes, a median strip, curbs, gutters and sidewalks
from one end of Seacrest Boulevard to the other within the boundary
limits of the City of Boynton Beach. Mr. Harmening seconded. No
discussion. Motion eaZTied 5-0.
Mr. Roberts said most of the problems lie in the east-west roads and
he asked if there was any uP-to-date info~mation on 23rd Avenue.
Returning to the subject about Seaerest Boulevsmd, Mayor DeLong said
there had been a discussion that drainage would be included in the
project as well as left and right turning lanes at the appropriate
crossings. He added that there would have to be a great deal. of
coordination and cooperation between the City officials and County
Commission to get this work aecumptished %~thin the five-year period~
Mayor DeLong then referred Mr. Roberts' question about 23rd Avenue to
Mr. Kohl to see i~ he could ~ind out any information regarding
anticipated plans on this road. Mr. Roberts said he was concerned
bscause a year ago there was some question about assessment on
some buildings on 25rd Avenue and the County had indicated that it
would be quite a number of years before .23rd Avenue would be 4 lanes.
Mr. Kohl referred the matter to the EngLneer.

FLORIDA, HELD AT C~TY HALL, T~ESDAY, PEBR~ULRY 19, 1974.
Mr. Flushing said the~e was no information about making 2D~d Avenue
lanes. He said 15th Avenue would be 4-1aned and the only changes
in the area would be around 1-95 which was presently underway.
Mr. Ha~mening interjected that when 1-95 is completed: N.W. 22nd
Avenue will be through to Congress and 15th Avenue S.W. will soon be
opened with the interchange. He added that it was his understanding
that N.W. 2nd Avenue would be 4 lanes to M/litary Trail i~ the near
future°
Mr. Roberts said he understood that 15th Avenue in the area of Quail
R/dge would also be 4 lanes to Military Trail. Mm. Flushing said this
would happen, but immediately it w/_ll be 4 lanes between Congress and
1-95.
Referring to the question of 23~d Avenue, Mr. Wallace asked how this
would affect the Southern areas as far as developments such as Leisure-
vi!lc which originally called for larger lots, homes and buffer zones~
With the new idea of 23rd going through there, he didn't think
the City had anything verifying what happens to the southerl% develop-
ment of that area, on the no~themn side of 2DTd. He wanted to know
what plans the developer has and if it affects what was ol~iginally
~anted to the developer and is he abiding by those particular items.
Mr. Ba=rett said he and FAr. Clark attended a meeting with the County
engineers and 23~d Avenue is not going to affect the buffer strip or
the larger lots and homes. There /s an access or service road to the
nolVch of 23rd Avenue which will serve this with only one exit onto
23rd. This was believed to be in the eastern poz4cion, close to 15th.
Mr. Barrett added that the larger lots will z~main with a 50-foot buf-
fer strip.
NEW BUSINESS

Authorization Requested to Go Out for Bid - Front End Loader (Bobcat)
Mr. Kohl explained that in trying to do the best possible job at the
sewer plant, there would be many things needed from time to time. It
was found that with the equipment that must be moved around, especially
the sludge from the sludge bed, it is necessary to have a Bobcat.
This item was recommended byRussell&Axon and the City Engineer.
Mr. Kohl said if approved, a t~ansfer of funds will be necessary.
Funds are available in Water Distribution (6130/514.07) end it is
requested that $77000.00 be transferTed to Account NO. 6220 Sewage
Treatment, to cover the cost of this equipment. Mr. Kohl recommended
purchase of this equipment and approva! of transfer of funds.

MINLLTES OF REGLLLAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH,
FLORIDA, HELD AT CITY HALL, TUESDAY, FEBRU3LRY 19, 1974.
M~. Harmening moved to approve the City Manager' s recommendation,
seconded by Mr. Wallace. Under discussion~ Mr. Wallace asked if
it was possible to get a data sheet on the amount of funds that have
been expended above and beyond what was actually requested in the
budget in o~der to have some idea where the City stands in relation
to the budget. Mr~ Kohl said yes. Motion carried 5-0.
Consider Waiver of Time in Grade - Re: Fire Department.
Mr. Kohl referred to his letter for the agenda and the request from
Chief Gene Wriqht and Personnel Director, Bill Sullivan for a promo-
tional opening to fill the vacancies for the position of Firefighter-
D~iver created because of the recent promotions within the Depart-
menu. ~. Sullivan had advised that upon reviewing the list of
firefighters who have completed their probationary period, he found that
no one mat the time-in-grade requirement as outlined in Section 13,
Fire Promotions. He indicated- that the trainio~ officer has certi-
fied_' that all the eligibles have met all the recp~ements necessary
with the ?.nl.y thing ~emaining to have these m.e~. ce~ified to an
eligible list is their written examination which will be administered
if this waiver is approved.
Mr. Kohl reconvnended a/klowance of this waiver of the time in grade
requirement for this one time only snd authorize Mr. S,,ll~an to
proceed with the necessary examinations.
Mr. Hs/"mening moved to grant the request of the City Manager for a
waiver Of time in grade relative to the Fire1 Department, seconded by
Mr. Stl~nad. Under discussion, Mr. Wallace said he had no objection
to the City Managerts request in reg~d to personnel for any of the
departments in the City where needed: but this is the third or fourth
time that a recommendation for waiver of time in grade has been made
~tfor this time only~'. He asked when the City would be caught up.
Mr. Kohl said he didn't pereonally approve of this route, but due to
the new sub-fire Station and so many promotions and new men, it isn't
possible to meet the time requirements and there a~e good men to fill
the positions. Mayor DeLong~ added that it is understandable in view
of the expansion of the City. There are requirements and although
the departments are small now, the competition will become greater
as the departmentS enlarge. He felt it would be necessary to accept
these waivers in the interim. Motion carried 5-0.
Consider ~ransfer of Funds for Florida East Coast Railroad
Mr. Koh~
~. ref;9~red to the Budget Transfer Request that was before
Council dated February 19, 1974. Justification of transfer:
F.E.C.R.R. C~ossing Contracts accompany this request to transfer funds
to cover special F.E.C. Annual Maintenance to cover F.E.C.R.R.
deferred charge and annual maintenance on c.~Ossing gates for prior
period when no billing was received. Mr. Kohl read the funds to be
transfel~ed as follows:

Mr. Kohl said this has been approved by Mr. Plynn the Finance Director,
and this money is needed on a bill that is coming up. In answer to
M~. Roberts' question about this bill having been deferred, M~. Kohl
explained that it ts an annual maintenance deferred charge for installa-
tion of c~ossing protection during 1971. He re~ez~ed to the infoz~a-
tion Before Council %rith the detail of charges. City of Boynton Beach
appo~cioned 50°/~ unde~ tez~s of agreement dated August 18: 1971;
project c~npleted December 29, 1971. The City has 50% of $76~ 690.75 =
$38,345.58 ~ 4 years = $9,586.54. Annual maintenance fo~ 1975
$1,1950.00 - Total $11,556.54. Mr. Roberts asked if this missed the
budget a couple of years and Mr. Kohl said it was never sent in.
He spoke to the Pim~nce Director who explained that the City had
set aside the money to pay these bills. One of the resolutions passed
last yea~ was that all funds remaining unspent in various accounts
would go into the Capital Improvement Fund. Therefore, these funds
remaining there unspent received no billing. All that is being done
now is r~uoving them from that fund to pay this particular bill which
wasn't received last yea~.
Mayor DeLong felt if there was a specific commitment, it would appear
that :the.~e should be a separate account or amount of funds budgeted
each yea~ to p~ovide for the payment of the commitment. Mr. Flyrm
said it was set up and established that way hut the money: being in
the General Fund: was invested in a Certificate of Deposit to be put
into T~easury when matured. It was clarified that the money has been
provided and it was just a question of transferring funds.
Mr. Roberts moved that authority be

Consider Amendments to Civil Service Rules & Regulations
Mr. Kohl referred to his letter for the agenda regaz'ding the recom-
mendation from Chief Wright and accompanying memorandum from the
Personnel Director, Bill Sullivan, indicating the present rule and
the requested amendment. Mr. Kohl said the City must accept this
change inasmuch as this. now is a State and Nati onal law and he re-
quested that the City Attorney be authorized to amend Civil Service
Rules and Regulations accordingly -- page 18 specifically.
Mayor DeLong felt as long as Council was going to act on the Civil
Service R~les and Regulations that the request be followed through

in its entirety by making it a matter of public record as to exactly
what the Rules and Regulations amenxtments entail. He ~equested
that Mr. Kohl read Mr. Sul!iv~u's memorandum for the agenda dated
January 21~ 1974, which he did aS follows:
~'Chief Wriqht has requested the Civil Sea. ice Rules pertaining
to the maximum age requirement in his department be amended
to read the same as outlined in the Police Department require-
ments.
His reasons are outlined on the attached memos.
The rules presently read, 'Not less than eighteen (18) nor
more than thirty-one (31) yesms and one (1) month of age at
date of examination for candidates with no previous experi-
ence in fire service. For candidates with previous experi-
ence and holding a Florida Minimum Standards certificate in
fire service~ the maximim a~e is increased one (1) year for
each year of experience, not to exceed five (5) years
experience of thirty-six (36) years and one (1) month of
age at date of examination,'
I~ amended: it would read~ 'Not less than eighteen (18) nor
more than thiz~y-six (36) and one (1) month of age at the
date of the examination. Maximum age
have a five (5) year proven record of

Mayor DeLong then asked that Mr. Kohl read
Fire Chief Wright dated Qanuary 4, 1974 in
for the record -- which he did as follows:
the communication from
connection with this matter
~he Civil Service Rules of the City spell out top age of
56 and one month with five (5) years previous experience.
However, the Florida Minimum Standards have ruled out age
because of discrimination to anyone applying for a job with
any Fire Department in Florida. Of course, anyone above 40 -
42 could not get twenty (20) years of service even though
our pension permits over age 60 for retirement (no age limit).
I have in a Fireman-Engineer, age 39, Donald P. Webb, with
ten (10) years crash fire service in the Air Force and ten
(10) years with the City of Delray Beach and he feels the
opportunity with our Fire Department would be to his ad-
vantage~ especially in the field of Inspection, if possible~
after being hired.
As Chief of the Department, I would request this letter be

considered for hiring this man. I know he will be an aSset
to ou~ Department. This r~quest will be ~reatly appreciated
if this is possible through your office, City Manager or
Council."
(NOTE: The foregoing memo was addressed to Mr. Sullivan, Personnel
Director. )
Mr. Wallace moved for the amendment of the Civil Service Rules and
Regu/ations upon the recommendation of the Personnel Director,
approved by the City Manager, relative to the age limits in the
Fire Department. Mr. P~oberts seconded_ No discussion. Motion cax~ied
5-0.
Mr. Wallace then moved that the Fire Chief be authorized to hire
~ireman/Engineer: Donald P. Webb, age 39, and to make this part of
the record in view of the fact that this meets with the approval of
the City Manage~. Mr. Strnad seconded. No discussion. Motion
carried 5-0. -Mr. Wallace noted that in many a~eas the Civil Service
has been restrictive to certain types of veterans' discha~es that
the City wouldn't be happy to have and the Courts have stricken this
down. He asked that some research be done to see how this applies
to the City.
Mr. Sullivan believed there were about 16 different types of discharges
from the semite. At the present time the City will honor any kind
of discharge for a regula~ job. In the Police and Fire Departments,
the discharges go before the Florida Minimum Standards. Often they
will make the rejeetion~ not the City. M~. Wallace said this was
what he was refe~ing to in that he he--eyed this p~ovision had been
knocked down by. the Courts end he wished to know the Cityts position.
After further discussion: it was decided that this matter would be
researched for an interpretation.
Mr. Rickey clarified that a Resolution should be prepared for the
last item voted upon.
Zoning Approval for Beer ~ Wine License - Crusty's Pizza
After clarification that everything was in order concerning this
item, Mr. Wallace moved that zoning approval be 9~anted for beer
and wine license for C~usty's Pizza, 109 N.E. 2nd Avenue. Mr. Strnad
seconded. No discussion. Motion carried 5-0.

that a workshop meeting should be held ~/~dMr. Wallace said that Mr.
Simon was asked at the time about the actual involvement as to whether
or not Council could accept what had already been presented to the
City or if it was necessary to go out for bid as was a prerequisite in
the past. He felt this should be clarified by the City Attorney
before Council sits down to a workshop so the matter could be handled
more expeditiously. To his knowledge there have been nocther proposals
concerning this. It was decided that the City Manager should contaCt
the City Attorney in this regard within the next day or so, after which
a workshop meeting could possibly be set up some t/me this week. The
City Manager would poll the Council as to time and place.

MI_NU~ES OF REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH,
FLORID~ HELD AT CITY HALL~ T~ESDAY~ FEBRUARY 19, 1974.
After some d4-~cussion concerning the request of Mm. Startzman to
have a workshop meeting, during wh/ch it was stated that there has
been difTiculty in gett/ng CoUncil and Mm. Sta~tzman togethem on
appropriate dates, it was decided that the City Manager would arrange
a joint woz~kshop m~eting to discuss disability insurance and also
meet with Mr. Startzman. It was hoped the meeting could be held
this week.
On behalf of the Council, Mayor DeLong coa~ended the efforts of
Mr. Noz~is Rickey, who substituted for the City AttoTney~ ton/ght.
Mrs. Padgett advised that Mrs. Pry had asked to speak at this 'time.
Mrs. Prances Fry, Chairman of the Community Appearance Boards said
she spoke with the approval of the Con~nunity Appearance Board. She
complimented the City on the beautiful job done at the beach and
realizing the City's other expenses, asked if approval could be given
for a rain/real amount of landscaping around the Pavilion which could
be transplanted around a new buildin~ as requ/red at a later date,
and also fix up the present roof with a s/mulated tiling. She asked
also if the rooms used for beach equ/pment could be mouseproofed
and pTesented Council with pictures to illust-~ate the need for this.
Mayor DeLong advised that the situation at the beach has been investi-
gated by CoUncilman Strnad and Mm. Buck of the Community Appearance
Board and Council was now waiting for suggestions and recommendations
to the C.A.B. by Mro Buck with the drafting of a p~ospectus by him
to .be presented to City Council. After further discussion clarifying
that any work desired at the beach was under $1,000, it was decided
that this m~tter could be handled by the City Manager. Mr. Wallace
moved to this e~fect, seconded by M~. Harmening and Mr. Strnad.
Mayor DeLong accepted the two seconds to the motion since Mr. StzTa~d
was a foz~er member of the Community Appes~ance Board. No discussion.
Motion carried 5-0.
Mrs. Fry h~d another ~equest in the form of a small structure to be
used to store the 1/feguaxd equipment which could also be used to
take the water~ sun or heatst-z~ke victims for p~oper treatment and
have a cot .there. so they could be t~eated with f/~st ~id at this
site. It was requ. ested that t. he area be constructed so that the
guards could remain there during stormy weather and have full vi~N
in all directions of the beach. They must now sit in their cars
without full view of the beach. Mayor DeLong said there had been dis-
cussion at the same time abGut relocation of the other beach facili-
ties regarding the possibility of having an extended post that would
be glassed in to allow for some protection f~om the weather. After
fumther discussion elaryifying that Mm. Buck had all this infoI~nation
to be put into w~itten form for the Community Appearance Board: Mrs.
Fry said she just wanted Council to know the C.A.B. was willing to
be helpful in any way poss/ble.

Mr. St~ aSked a~ the status of the dog pound and Mrs. Fry
said the C.A.B. finished its plans fo~ presentation to the City
Manager tonight.
Mr. Strnad b~ought Council's attention to the t~uck signs that have
been constructed for the t-~uck routes-- they are quite a bit up
the street f~z~m the highway so that the t~ucks are practically hal~-
way up the street before they even see the signs. The matter was
turned ove~ to the City Manager to be handled administratively for
placement of the signs in the appropriate place if this had not
been done, a~d also to deteztnine the reason for the present location
of the signs. Mr. Wallace suggested the possibility of hav~ng two
signs -- one on the entrance coming into the thDu-way and one before
the t~ueks get the~e.
Mr. St~nad also requested that U.S. 1 be swept once a mor~h, particu-
larly in the a~ea of Hampshire Gardens. It was decided that this
m~tter would be handled administratively.
Mr. Wallace moved to adjourn: seconded by Mr. Roberts. No further
