P~. F. C. Van Deusen of 227 NE 22nd Avenue~ stated he had requested about a month ago that something be done about speeding on N. E. 22nd Ave. People pass his home at 60 and 70 miles per hour. This condition is dangerous for children in the area as well as people trying to cross the street. Mr. DeLong moved that this matter should be turned over to the City Man- ager: who in turn should talk to the Chief of Potice~ and do something to rectify this; seconded by Mr. Hammening. Mrs. Jackson stated to take it up with the Chief of Police. Mr. Wallace suggested if ce~c~*n areas are to be patrolled it should be well publicized, a~d not hidden. Mayor Jackson stated that Lt.

Mrs. Jackson asked Mr. Hopkins to get this taken care of. Mr. Van Deusen also asked that the shuffleboard courts be taken care of and maintained in better fashion. Mrs. Jackson stated we will try to take care of that. Rev. Lee~ 407 N. W. 9th Avenue: asked consideration by Councitwith re- spect to Federal government issue to local municipalities of revenue sharing funds. He stated theme are 8 categories for which this money can be used. The Child Care Center on N. E. Drd Avenue is one project that would be eligible. They are asking Colmcil~ in the category of Social Services~ to allocate $3,000 for .:.~lt classes in sewing~ better meal p!anning: budget planning and typing'that could be held at the Child Care Center. ~se of FedOra! Revenue Sharing funds for these pur- poses would be beneficial to the community. An invitation was extended to Council to visit the Child Care Center to see what is being done~ not --2-- MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 6~ 1973 P~BLIC AUDIENCE~ cont~d. only for the children~ hut for the adults as well. We are only asking for $3, 000 under the eategors; of Social Se~vioe when Council decides to allocate. M~s. Jackson stated that this item should go un~3~ New Business, and asked ~ev. Lee if he would be able to return lat~. Rev. Lee said he would do so. Norman Hands~ 1119 N. Seacrest Blvd. ~ thanked the Council for cleaning up Wilson Center. He passed out photographs to Council members~ and explained that these areas need to be cleaned up. In the first photo you see the City trash collectors cleaning up the lot~ they make two piles of trash consisting of bottles and all kinds of trash, and then leave it there. It has been there over a month that I know of. One pile was set afire last week, and it is still there. It has been there over two months~ piled there~ and tP~d: is one section. They first rake the sand and pile up the trash~ and leave it sitting there. Ail the Supervisors and patrolmen and City trucks ride ]:bY it~ but no one reports it. Mr. Hopkins stated someone should see to it. In addition~ Mr. Wallace reported that at times a pickup train has only one person on it - this man gets off the pickup train while it is moving: picks up the trash, throws it in the hack, and gets back on while the truck is still moving. This actually happened because I witnessed it - I wish someone would check into this. Mr. Hopkins asked in what section of town? Mr. W~]lace stated in the southwest area of the City - to be explicit at my home address, 2830 S. W. 9th Street. I stood there and watched ito Mr. Hopkins stated something would he done about it. Mr. Herb Zobe!: 154 S. W. 8th Avenue~ a foz~aer employee~ stated the Council had made a quick decision~ and he had too~ Also he stated he was here to clarify some items that had bean in the paper. He stated he has been a member of a number of active groups~ churches and an employee of the City of Boynton Beach for 4~ years. Re felt Doctor Weems, who has done so much for this City, should not be bJdrt in such a mariner. He said that he had a complete file on all the plants that had been donated: and pictures and facts to indicate where they had been placed. He planned to retain this file in his possession for a few weeks prior to placing it on file with the PLLrehasing Agent. He further stated that papers belonging in his file were four, under the r~g in Public Works by the janitor. M~. Zobe! referred to an incident about a year ago when Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Card, wanted to,e move a hibiscus hedge att he Boat Club park area north of Oak St. The people in the area ealted Mrs. Padgett and asked that the hedge be left there. -3- MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 6, 197~ PUBLIC AUDIENCE~ eont' d. Mr. Zobel also mentioned that there had been six girls in the Public Works office in the past 5 years. Two of these girls came to Mrs. Pad- gert, when she was Acting, and asked to be transferred or something, due to the harassment and what went on in Public Works office. He also said that they had had 8 supervisors leave in the last 4 years. Four of these had offered to back him up as they too had been harassed. Mr. Zobel told Council that he had been told this last week by a person in Public Works that if he came before this Council and .reported this and hu~t anyone in any way my business would be hu~t. God help thom if they do. He felt the men remaining in his department could have handled it when he left, and questioned why a person from another department was placed in charge. He asked that Council check into conditions for the benefit of all om- plOyees. Mr. Roberts asked Mr. Zobel to step back up, he wanted to ask him some questi0ns.- ~ Mr. ~.Rqberts .. ~ated he~ did- not kn.ow what this is all about ~ he doesn~t~read ~th~e n~wspaPams' most of the time~ ,ygu.can be misquoted. He asked' Mrk Zobel if 'h~ .was forced .~o' resign frc~a his job° Mr. Zobel said no, n.ot. forced, not really, but under harasoment~ yes. ~en trying to order~ th~ngs, paZ~c would be purchased and part would be scratched. He stated in a way he was forced'to resign as he could not do the job for the City he wanted to. Under Recreation he did better than the last two years under Public Works. He went on~ saying that Mr. Wallace had stated a few eet3axgs ago that anyone wanting to state anyth, ing instead of a letter to sign their name and take action. I could brxng to you an employee who complained to Mr. Jones, and when he complained or anyone complained Mr. Hopkins would see you got fired, and this boy will back up anything. Yes, I was forced to resign in a way. Mr. Roberts stated the only reason I did ask I should say I didn't know all the details. Ail City employees have recourse even without Civil Service: and this is the first time for this. Mr. Zobel further stated, ~Mr. Roberts, strange as it may seem last year you had three people,~ friends .of mine~ which would have cut out old Herb: and his friends. Mr. Wallace knows me same way: I would not come to any Couneilman. Your pre~ious City Ms_nager had all this. I realize you people didn't agree with everything he said. He had it in a letter. You~ previous Manager Jones knew this: and Courtney. Why should any employee ~un to a City Counci/raan: yet there is not an employee would go to the City Manager because he would be fired like 'that - and that is the truth." Mr. Wallace spoke in reference to the first or second meeting, at which discussion was held that Parks and Recreation stay combined: and he -4- MINUTES REGULAR C~TY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 6~ 1973 PUBLIC AUDIENCE~ oont'd. believed that three members had given ind/eation that this was the direc- tion they were going. It was changed later as far as vote. I am not making light of any problem. There is always going to be pe~onality problems within an organization: but had Parks and Recreation been able to stay together and answerable to the City Council until it got its feel on the g~ound - ! even brought o~t they would need more personnel~ more f/nantes, more equipment, and I hoped t2ais was the d/rection the Council was going to go. Possibly this could have been avoided if we had gone in this direction. ~.m. DeLong asked isn't it a fact Parks Depaz. LJA~ent had to go back to Pub- lic Works to conform with the Charter? Mrs. Jackson stated that is right. Mr. Wal!aee stated it is a separate entity by itself. The only sugges- tion I made at that particular time, it even went back in order to give it impetus and get it off the ground~ and get it into work and nursed it like a baby so to speak, that it would be answerable to Council. There was no separation - that was my only recommendation. We have done this before. Mm. DeLong agreed with that~ stating it would have to go back all the way~ not bs]f way. Mr. Wallace stated you can divide your employees, so m. an.y people to do this job~ so many people to do that one and for the timebemng they are ans%~erab!e to the Counci~ only Until it gets organized~ and this is what I was going down the line with. Mr. DeLong stated he was always under the impression that Parks and Recreation should always be together. There is nothing we can do about it until we could change the Charter. Charles O'Hara of 3 Velaire Dr. ~ spoke with reference to the building o~f Old Boynton Road~ and a 12 ft. road proposed to be put in between our property and those buildings. We do not like that~ and the builder is wi]]~ug to go along with puttin in lawns. They would have to remove 5 or 6 trees. He asked that the trees be left. Mr. Hopkins stated he had checked that out. This particular building plan~ as far as I can remember, there was basic access for service vehicles: and at the t/me they recommended a road for these vehicles to have egress and ingress. The Fire Marshal: I suspeot~ requested it. Mr. OtHara again stated there would be motorcycles and noisy traffic up and down Hoadley Road~ and we will have a ~'hell~' of a lot of noise. It is bad enough now - I am talking about Vetai~e Drive going west to Hoadley Road. -5- MINUTES REGULAR CiTY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 6~ 1973 PUBLIC AUDIENCE: cont~d. Mr. O~Hara stated the garbage receptacles could be put in front of the buildings down in theg~ound in containers. Mr. Hopkins insisted the road to the rear or access road is a necessity for service entry. Mr. O'Hara stated this is a private residential section - i~ the access road goes through it will be right off my porch. Mayor Jackson asked that this be reviewed because there have been some calls on this p~oblem. Mr. O'Hara mn~lsted - fire t~ucks could go in front of the buildings same as other places~ and the garbage disposal containers could be placed in the 9~ound~ and arrange for parking in front of the buildings. Mayor Jackson assured Mr. O'Hara it could be reviewed. Mr. O'Hara said he would appreciate it. ~rs. Schultz, 147 Ocean Ct.: stated she is a member of Shuffleboard~ and would ]~ke to thank the City for a much needed light in the parking lot. She also stated she thoughtthe Council might like to hear some- thing pleasant. She received a letter from her sister-in-law in Sy~a- cuse~ N. Y. which cited ~:some people we know went to Florida, as far as Miami, and she told me there was one place that impressed her the most~ -guess where it was - Boynton Beach. BIDS t.

Raw Water Supply Well ~!1 Mr. Hopkins stated we received only one bid - from A!say Drilling~ Inc. in the amount of $52~505. The Consulting Engineers have recommended accepting the bids if there are no legal ranfufications because we eeived only one bid. I concur with their recommendation. -6- M~dTES RE~ CITY COONCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 6~ 1973 BIDS: cont'd. (Raw Water Supply Well ,~1t) PLr. DeLong moved at this time that we accept the recommendation and award the bid to Alsay. Funds are available. Mr. Harmening asked if there is any question as to the legality of the award in view of ther~ being only one bld~ and that maybe Mr. Simon can check into it. Mr. Simon stated he would check into it~ but to go ahead with the motion subject to his approval. Mr. DeLong amended his motion to a~ard the bid subject to the City At- torney's approval as specified to Alsay Well Drilling~ Inc. Motion seconded by Mr. Roberts and carried 5-0. 3. Seven (7) T~ucks and Boom & Bucket Li~t Playor Jackson noted the bid tabulation was not signed by the Purchasing Agent, and asked Mr. Sullivan why he did not sign it. Mr. Sullivan stated it was an oversight: he thought he had signed it~ that he meant to sign it. Mr. Sullivan proceeded to sign it. Mr. Sullivan stated 15 bid requests were sent out, and we only received back 8 bids, and I would like to review the first three items~ which would be 3 - 1/2 Ton Pickups with F!eetside body 1 - 1/2 Ton Pickup Truck with U~i!ity Body I - 1 Ton Flat Bed Dump Truck We received two bids which I would 3J_ke you to considerand both met specifications: Coastal GMC truck is low bid on the first two..-items. ~L~yor Jackson asked Mr. Sul]~van to read the figures for the record. Mr. Sullivan gave the following lo~.bid~ on the first 3 items - Coastal - 3 - ~ Ton Pickups w/ Fleetside body $7~063.17 ~ - 1 - ~ Ton Pickup w/Utility Body ~,750.42 Adams - 1 - 1 Ton Flat Bed Dump Truck $5~690.00 Chevrolet If we go with low hid we would award the first two items to Coastal~ and the third item to Adams Chevrolet. The total amount bid would be $13~503.59. Mr. Sullivan ~uz~cher stated that Public Works Assistant has recommended that we go across the board with one firm~ and that would be Adams Chev- rolet. This has been done in the past. The only reason for this is -7-- MINUTES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEET/uNG FEBRUARY 6~ 1973 BIDS, eont' d. (Trucks) ease of securing parts and maintenance in the fut-~re. If we do this Adams Chevrolet's total bid would be $13~670o The difference between going with low bid and across the board on those three items would be $166.41, and I think that is explained on your Agenda note. Mayor Jackson stated she did not understand why we have to buy thom all from one dealer. Mr. SullY.van stated we don~t, you can go at low bid which is the recom- mendation~ or we can go across the board for $166.41. Mr. Carden, Acting Dir. of Public Works, stated that explanation is a bit over-simplified. He pointed out that the current City fleet is all Chevrolet~ for no other reason than they have been successful low bidders in the past. There is no reason we have to buy that particular brand. However: buying from two different sources - all new vehicles have warranty itoms and we have to ~etu~n thom to the dealers. For the difference of $166.41, I would point out this dealer is local in Detray Beach: as opposed to taking vehicles to West Palm Beach where some of the bidders are from. It just makes sense from a n~nagoment point of view to buy the vehicles from a single source. Mr. Wallace asked if the specifications were written so that there could only be a bid from the Chevrolet Company? ~.Acting Director replied absolutely not, as a matter of fact we ~lsed Purchasing to send bid request to Dick McCutley-~ord wanted to bid this too~ the only exomption on the specifications on the engine we have from Chrysler Motor Co. we had exompt 225 cu. inches: 6 eyl. Slant. From our maintenance point of view and managoment, we do not want that engine. Mr. Wallace stated the meason he asked the question is we sent out a great n%umber of bids~ and only received some returns. I called a num- ber of people that had not returned a bid, and my reason for asking is they stated the reason they did not bid is because the specifications were written for one particular company, therefore they could not meet those specifications and this is something I was trying to citY'fy. The Acting Director stated, I think they were not giving you a clear picture - first of all the Ford Motor Co. has dxscont~_nued their factory participation on municipal sales. Chrysler and Chevrolet are the only people now extending this program, and Chrysler is already exompt cause we are exempting our 225 cu. inch Slant 6 which we do not want. Mr. DeLong asked Mr. Carden if this ~]~o involves a service situation? Mr. Cardan - I assume you mean the dealer service? Mr. DeLong - Yes, sir. --8-- MINU~ES REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUAi~Y 6~ 1975 BIDS, cent' d. (Trucks) M~. Carden stated we have warranty wo~k on the vehicles: being new they all have to be returned for one thing or another: regardless of how small or how large the mepa~. Mr. DeLong - Then it is to ou~ advantage to have it all in one ageney~ one bid? Mr. Carden - It occurs to me we have a stronger position when we are desl~ng with one individual. The~e are many~ n~ny Chevrolet dealers in the area - why the others did not elect to hid is known only to them. Mr. DeLong moved we accept the recommendation of the tabulating cc~mit- tee and a~ar~ the bid to Adams Chevrolet. Mr. Hopkins stated funds were available with an administrative transfer of $56.00. ~otion seconded by Mr. Harmening. Mr. Harmening asked~ is there anyone in the audience from any o£ these automobile dealers? Guess not. Mayor Jaekson asked if there were any other questions. Motion carried 5-0. It was noted that the award was made on 5 trucks only, and not on 7 trucks and one Boom & Bucket as advertised. One (!) Workshop Buildin9 - Sewer Plant Mr, Sullivan stated this is 14 x 24 Flat Roof Frame Workshop building to be locate~ at. the Sewer Plant. The low bidder was Hetzel Brothers at $2~640. ~d it can be constructed within 45 working days. This is recommended by the tabulating committee. We received a bid from Kemco Enterprises for $5~696.56:60 days eonst~uction~ and frc~ J. Barbara Inc~ for $4~ ~68.00, 30 days delivez¥.
