PUBLIC AHDIENCE
Norman Braytey~ 2815 S.W. 9th Street, came forward and advised the
Council that he had given the City Clerk a letter and would like very
much for her to read it at,this time. The letter referred~ to the
Trailer O~dinance that was coming up on first reading tonight.
The City Clerk read same.
Emily Jackson, 728 N.E. 9th Avenue, came forward spe~kingon the same
subject and advised that if we have a law on the books now that we
can't have trailers, campers and boat trailers etc. ~hat we should not
have such.a law. After all boat trailers are needed here. We want
people to come to Boynton Beach and after all when they come down here
they expect to have boats and trailers, etc.
F. T. Rogers~ 333 S.W. 9th Avenue, came forward and addressed his first
question to the City Attorney and asked him if a resident is allowed
to park a boat and trailer on City property. Mr. Humphrey read from
the City Code on 30-2 restricting any motor trailer~for any period of
more than one hour, etc.
~m. Rogers then asked the City ~nager if the City or the contractor
doing the sever work for the City is responsible for putting private
property ba~ in the same condition that it was in prior to the in-
stallation of the sewer. Mr. Courtney advised h/m that they~ the
contractors, are liable for this and that the City will make sure that
all property is put back in the original condition before final pay-
ment is made to the contractor. Mr. Rogers further advised that he
has a concrete approach to his home and the contractors have cut off
a big slice o~ it and also d~maged considerable amoun~ of grass and
destroyed 800 ~o 900 ~eet of Bermuda grass.
~{r. D. Roehm, South 27th Terrace: questioned where people are to vote
~n the elections. He advised that he always has voted st the Civic
enter and that at the last election when he arrived a~ the Civic
~enter to vote they advised him ~nere that he b~d to go over to the
Women's Club. F~yor Michael advised him that the County was the one
responsible for using the Women's Club and that it was a County Elec-
tion. The City Elections are always held at ~ne same place and have
been for quite some time.

REGULAR CITY COUNCIL ~.~ETING
NOVEMBER 20~ 1967
Har~y Harmes, 919 S.W. 27th Place, came forward regarding the t~ailer
ordir~nce. He advised that in his opinion this was an unnecessary
and probably unwarranted police power of the City~ stating that this
ordinance prohibits any private proper'~y owner in th~ city from stor-
ing a camper Or trailer on his own private property.
O. H. Adcock: 626 N.E. 10th, came forward and spoke in favor of stor-
ing travel trailers on private property~
M~. Brayley came up again advising he was in touch ~ith the City
Attorney and that he also talked with the Police DepBrtment and they
informed him that the City Council advised him that the Ordinance is
unconsEitutional and consequently they could not do anything about it.
Fred ~rmstrong, 3021 E, Palm Drive, came forward advising he had a
boat and trailer wh%en he kept on h~s proper~y and felt he ha every
right in the world to do so.
Raymond Martin~ 919 S.W. 27th Way~ came forward to~dvise the Council
that he complained to the Police Department regar~?~g a trailer that
he has had to look at for over 30 days now and st%ll nothing has been
done about it being removed.
D. ~. Ripple~ 91~ S.W. 27th Ptace~ came forward also'regarding the
trailer ordinance. He thinks it should be enforced and all trailers
and campers removed from private property: etc.
City Manager advised at this point that this Ordinance was brought to
their attention by the Chief of Police after discussing the legality
of it with the attorney and we want to point out by the Charter that
the City Attorney is advisor on all legal matters for the City. We
asked the Police Department ~o hold up until the Council decided what
should be done on this ordinance. We are only waitlng until this
question has been determined then the Police Department will be in-
structed with no reservations to enforce the or~ina~c~ at any time.
Bs soon as $ decision is made I assure you we wzll enforce the law.
