for the North Palm Beach Country Club. A resolution for the

REZONING APPLICATION
On the advice of Village Attorney George Baldwin, no discussion was
held concerning the rezoning application for 200 Yacht Club Drive,
Lot 1, Marina Addition from C-1A (Limited Commercial) to C-1
(Neighborhood Commercial). Mr. Baldwin stated that because this

application is site-specific zoning, the Council would be sitting
in a quasi-judicial capacity in this action, and therefore should
not have outside contact with third parties regarding it. Based on
two recent cases in the courts, Mr. Baldwin's opinion was that
Council should not discuss the issue with anyone outside of the
Council Chambers, and should process the application according to
standard procedures, with discussion taking place only at properly
scheduled and advertised public meetings where both parties have
the same opportunity to state their case. Mr. Baldwin will send a
written memorandum of his opinion to the Council. This item was
forwarded to the Regular Session agenda of September 9, 1993.
PERSONNEL RULES AND REGULATIONS
A brief discussion was held concerning the current Personnel Rules
and Regulations of the Village, and the need to upgrade them to
current standards. Also discussed was the present grievance
procedure, and the need to improve or change that procedure. This
will be brought back to Council at a later date, after two
~ grievances currently in progress are resolved.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business to come before the Council, the
meeting adjourned at 10:45 p.m.
