MINUTES REC~ ~LAR CITY COUNCIL ~ETING August 15, 1966 Contract for__,C~__ual Weed Cqntrol - .Pe~uss~t Chemicals Corooration ~r. Kain advised C~&ucil tb~t the City Engineer, Mr. Carnahan, and the Public Works Director~ Mr. Hich~.dson, along with ~. Andy Price of the Pennsalt Chemicals Corporation ~&d surveyed the canals and as a result of their re- port he recommended that Council authorize the e~q0enditure of $1,995.50 for ~ the treati~ of the canal system in Venetian Isles. There is $1,000 available in the current budget allocated in Special Projects, Activity 5900, for this purpose and $995.50 in the same activity encumbered from prier years for weed control. ~is is or-iy~ for the Venetian Isle area, which is the worst in the city. ~. Kain stated that the most practical approach to the problem of weeds in the canal system~ was to go on a regular control basis ~th a company that guaranteed the work. However, for the current year he recommended approval of the contract ~ith Psnnsalt Chemicals Corp. The city had tried to work with other agencies in Controlling these weeds, hut it has not been a satis- factory arrangement, Several companies, including Shell Oil, Texaco and Southern M~I Products, had been contacted concerning this problem but the Pennsalt Chemicals Corp. had haudled this particular problem very effectively in Cape May~ New Jersey. Mayor Madsen inquired about the County dra~line which had been used at the Grimes estate. Mr. Kain replied that two years ago the city tried to get help from the County, but th~y all have their work programmed and that comes first. We have waited six to seven months to use the chemicals that we bought two years ago. Use of a sea ~ow was discounted as unsatisfactory due to its ~dgratory h~oits. Mr. Boos moved to ac(~pt t~he manager's recommendation and authorize the execution of~ a contract with the Permsalt Chemicals Corporation. Motion seconded by ~. Collins a~ud unanimously carried. ??esentation of Fire Contracts The City Manager read the following Fire Contract Report dated August 15, 1966 into the minutes: Scope This is a sunmmi-yof the various recent fire protection contracts the City of BoyntonBeach has had with adjacent communities. It also con- tains recommendations for the establishment of future contracts with the same oommnnities. PurDose This report is an attempt to provide a sound eqUitable basis for fire protection contracts with adjacent cn~muuities in w~ich ~ communities will receive a level of protection co~mmnsurate with property values, risks and current resources. -2- ~JTES REGU~R C~ CO~.~CIL ~T~G August 15~ 1966 ~ethod_ The n~eds of all com~muuities ~re studied by the city staff includ- ing the fire depart?ent~ the building department, the %~er distribution division and the city ms~uager's office, The cost of t-~ fire protection operation was ana. ly~d ~ l~a-.

Present Resources In order to arrive at a reasonable standard of resources, tit. Hawkins and I agreed to use the gross real property (5-~proved and un- improved) tax values as prepared by the Pal~. Beach County Tax Assessor for 1965. This is listed as follows: Boynt on B~ach G~_I fstream Ocean Ridge Briny Breezes Total $71,632,000.00 18,980,000.00 16,293,870.00 1,088,33.0:g0 _8107,99M 200.00. --3-- MIk~JTES PJ~GUL&R CITY C(~3~CIL ~LMETING AUGUST 15, 19,/,6 To the figure for BrL~y Breeze should be added a value for the mobile homes ~,g~ich constitute the la~ge portien of property to b~. protected in theft comm~zuity. This is conservatively estimated by ~tipl~ the tot~ ~- ~m avez~ge n~r of such st~.ct~s (512) by $~500 ~f~h eq~s $1~792~0~. The total figure for Bray Breez~ v~ues then becks $2~8~,330. I c~- s-~ted with ~. H~h Da-~d ~ t~s ~ ~fore I ~de the f~l co~utation After adding the above to ~ne total value flounce as computed by ~r. Ha~dcins the gross value is $109~786,2OO. The factor used is the total cost of the operation of the Fire Department during the !964-1965 fiscal year divided by the adjusted gross value, leo $~ ,£82 $lO9,%~,2oo This factor (.O006419) as applied to the values (Briny Breezes adjusted) produces individual costs as follows: Boynt on Beach 71,632,OO0 x .00664~t9 = $&5,980 C;~lfstream 18,980.000 x .0006419 = 12,183 Ocean Ridge !6,293,870 x .0006&19 = Briny Breezes 2,880,330 x .0006419 =., ~pecial Condition__~s None of the communities sez~cedbyBoynton Beach with fire protection has truly municipal characteristics as far as great diversity of structures is concerned. Ocean Ridge and Gulfstream are almost entirely residential in nature, Briny Breeze does have some commercial development and the type of residential structure predominent there is unusual and preSents specialized problems in fire fighting, Those factors must be weighed iu arriving at a fair cost of fire protection. We runwhole gamut of structures in this City, but Ocean Ridge and Gulfstream ~ud Briny Breezes do not. The need and hazards are greater in Boynton Beach than in the commtmities served ~nd eonsequentlya method ~¢nichused only com©arative taxvalues for arriving at a cost basis is incomplete. I have adjusted my recommended cost figures accordLugly. AUGUST 15~ 1966 F~Lire Hvd~ra?~t Ser~ic_e Att the communities served have fire hydrant service rendered by the City of Bo~nto~n Beach. These are, by bond covenants~ cha~geable at a flat rate of $75.00 per hydrauz per ~aro Fo~ someti~-~e the t~ayers of Bo2~nton Beach bare been s'gosidiz~ t~s cost for tws of the con~ities and also for nearby comuty areas. The m~uuat cost of fire hydraut service to each co~mmuity ~ the county is as fo_tto~.~s: Ocean Ridge 3~ hydrants @ $75 ea. $2~ 550 Briny Breezes I hydrant @ 75 ea. 75 Gulfstream 7 hydrants @ 75 ea. 525 County 7 ~hydrants @ 75 ea. 525 Recommendations I recommend the followi~g: (1) Contracts with Briny Breezes, Inc. and Ocean Ridge to run from Nov. l, 1966 to Oct. 31, 1969~ Lucl. (2) The oontract ~th Gulfstream to run from M~y 18, 1967 to Oct. 31, 1969, incl. (3) That payment be made for each year in advmuce, that is, on the first day of each contract year. Lu the case of Gulfstream, the first pa~nent would be due on ~L~y 18, 1967 and in the case of Ocean Ridge and Br~-uy Breezes the first payment wotuld be due on Nov. l, 1966. Al! communities would have the second payment due on Nov. l, 1967 and the thdrd payment due on Nov. l, 1968. (~) At any time any or ail of the communities seized go into the fire protection business, the City of Boynton Beach will refund one- half of the charge unused. (5) That council adopt as tb~ total cost of fire protection and hydrant service to each community the following: (i) Ocean Ridge a- Fire Protection $7~500 b - Hydrant Service 2.550 (2) Gulfstream a - Fire Protection 8,100 b - Hydrant Sez~ice 525 Total O) Briny Breezes a - Fire Protection b - Hydrant Se~zice Total -5- ~C~IR CZTY COU~!CIL t~!MG AUGUST 15, 1966 In the recon~ended charges there is no prevision for a per call flat charge on a per man holm charge so that the total cost of fire service is covered by the basic annual fee. Although the fees in the cases of Ocean Ridge and G,~tfstream is lower than the fees prod'meed by the trax value £actors~ ! believe they are adequate in view of the t}~pes o£ structure predominant in these comur~nities. The fee for Briny Breezes is somewhat higher than the ta~ value produces~ ho~ver~ the special fire defense problems causes this differential.

Kain said they have paid $~,00~ but they are at present behind. Pit. Kain stated that this report is probably the most comprehensive review we have ever had on this subject. The contracts are all different and it was some~.~at confusing. No~,~ the city has a log of all fire hydrants thanks to the efforts of Gene Wright, our Fire Chief, and Jo~ Johnston of the Utilities Department of the city. It ~s ~.~. Kain~s recon~r~endation that if the-contracts were not acceptable to the co_~n~_uities Jm the ~ain, that the city disconvinue service. Gene Wright said that he v~nt along vzith the City ~lanager's recommendation because even if the commmuities accept these contracts~ we can o~!y send one paid man and one truck and a minim~, of volunteers. If the runs in- crease, ~ vf~ll need more men mud equipment. There are some areas involved where it ~muld be necessary to take two pumpers out of the city to answer a call. Hr. Boos moved for the recommendation of the City Hanager to prepare con- tracts for each of the commor:itias of Ocee2a Ridge, Gulfstream and Briny Breezes. Motion seconded by ~. Ba~s, }~. Boos~lated that he had gone over the auditor's figures and found one item ntissirg, There was no figure for amortization or depreciation on the equipment. P~. Kain said that }~at b~ N~d tried to do to overcome the -6- MIkWJTES REGULAR CITY CO~CIL ~'~ETING AUGUST 15, 1986 s~nortization cost and our Lucreased costs to maS_utaiu fire se~rise was to set the figures high enough to attempt to overcome our expenses. Breakdov~ of cost is very difficult. Exposure of certain parts of this city are higher than Lu the other cities. Ocean Ridge and Gulfstream do not h~re the high risk and fire fighting problems that we have here, Briny Breezes is unique. The big value is in personal property and everythLug is placed very close together. The differential wo'~!d not affect the basic rate. ~r. Boos directed s~uother question to Mr. ~=~n~ askLug what, if any~ calcu- lations have been used or are contemplated in o,~r fdre schedule for protection of multi-story buildings, l~Ye have them ~u Ocean Ridge and right here in Boynton Beach. Are we anticipating proper protection for these budldings in the near fut~re? F~. Eain ~f~rre~ to a ~r~-ng capital fund. The equipment for t~is type of protection is considerably more expensive than any ~ have had in the past. In the near future we will have to avail ourselves of this type of equipment. On what basis he did not know, but said that he might b~ve more to report when the budget is reviewed. The motion was unanimously carried. The ~yor recognized I*~s. Lottie Pierce, ~Lr. Leroy Harris and the Reverend Randolph Lee in the audience. All are members of the Inter-racial Committee. Discussion of RequeGt re Lotto Parce! Mr. Bar~{s stated that the subject request has been approved bythe PlannS_ng and Zoning Board of the city and because of the location of the property he felt that it v, ould event~=l~y be used for commercial purposes because of the ne~ road. However, there is another property related to this an.d if Council grants this request, we v~ill be faced with a much graver problem of rezoning additional property and creating a buffer strip, ~ Ba~ks said he felt Couucil in~ justice should have defLuite co~itm~nt on what this property is to be used for and when. This is the Lotto parcel only, Mr. Bard, s directly asked Mr. Trudeau why Council was being asked to rezone the property. ~. Trudeau said that they planned a motel on the waterv~y and shopping facilities which ~ould defiuitelynot be in competion with ~. Lassiter's properties. ~r. Banks asked if they had a plan developed for this. ~. Trudeau said that they were planning on ~5,000 sq. feet of shopping area and that these thiugs take tLmeo He asked ~. Banks if this is what he had meant. ~r. Banks replied ~o", he was asking for a plan for development and a time schedule. ~. Trudsau said that they paid cash for the property which means they would develop it as fast as possible. We ~lll have plans on the board i~r~diately for the Lotto property. ~. Banks asked if they had a plan for the other property. ~. Trudeau replied that the ~'~estphal property is goed property~ and they expect to spend a lot of time discussing it with the people in the area. He said they felt that the 165' strip should be zoned for apartments which ~ould M!SYUTES REGULa. R CITY CCUNCIL ~ING AUC;JST 15~ 1965 rent for a good rate¢ not inexpensive. They would face north and voztld benefit the residential properties to the north. The residential properties would then become more valuable because they would be more scarce. Mr. B~uks restated that there was no plan available s~d that usually a p'is, n for the development of the property to be rezoned is presented to Cotuucil shovdmg why the request is made. It was l~r, Bank's feeling that it was almost imperative that Co,&uci! rezone the property right next. to the Lotto property if the Lotto parcel was rezoned in order to create a buffer zone. He said that a decision must be made on this--how much property will be used for what purpose. ~. Trudeau said he felt that the property abutting the Lotto parcel should be zoned for better income apartments for people 'zdo. o would patronize the specialt~ shops and resta'mrant they planned for the Lotto parcel. l¢~rs. Ann Barrett, a local realtor, came forward to address Council. She stated that she had be~n in business here since 19~5 and that Boynton is going for~rd now. She felt t~at this property could only be utilized for business and that this was an opportunity to get the Gores in now and she said that she would feel badly if they were turned down on, the Lotto property ~[r. Kenneth Horton, attorney from Lake ~orth, addressed Couucilo He repre- sented tv~lve of the property ore,ers of Lee ~uor Isles who are in opposi- tion to the rezoning of the Lotto property along with the rezon~ug of the k~estphal property° He said that they felt that they are one and the same request. M~, Horton said that he agreed with ~. Bar,ks that a plan for rezoning of the Lotto property be submitted showing how it would be beneficial to the public welfare. He felt that the least that should be done would be to make a more thorough, study of the problem. ~'~. Joseph Tomberg addressed Council as counsel for ~t~. & ~rs. Lotto. He said that he could not understand why the ~estphal property kept coming up as that request had been withdrawn. This hearing tonight is only for the Lotto property, }ir. Em~] Frezuud of Lee Manor Isles addressed the Council sm~d mentioned that at the Ptanniug and Zoning Board meeting the chairman of that Board stated that the residents of I~e Manor D~d no rights at the meetiug because their property was not within ~00 feet of the property to be rezoned. ~-~Lr. Banks asked the city attorney if the practice of notif~lng property owners ~lthin 300 feet is an administre~tive practice. ~;lr. ~toore said that this was an administrative practice followed as a courtesy and was not set forth in the charter. The law calls for legal advertisement. N!~ES P~GULA,R CITY COUNCIL ~/~TING AUGUST 15~ 1966 M~ Banks stated t,hat he still felt tl~t co~ercial is the best use for the Lotto property, but there ~re other factors to be considered and Lu fairnsss to all, a plan should be presentsd before Coum_cil acts on this request. ~.tr. McCoy moved to pu~ the request back on the table u~util such time that s plan cau be shov~ to Council as to what is to be dons~ when they ~ill start and when they ~W_ll finish.
