Mayor Valente called the Special Emergency Meeting to order at
7:30 p.m. All members of the Council were present except
Councilman Mays who arrived at 7:39 p.m. All members of the
staff were present.
The reason for the emergency meeting is that the application time
to acquire Seacoast Utilities is February 1, 1988, and there
being no meeting until January 14, 1988 it was necessary that
professionals be hired immediately to properly prepare a bid.
Councilman Mundt moved that Bill No. 526 entitled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE OF NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA,
AMENDING THE NORTH PALM BEACH GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR FISCAL
YEAR 1987-88 BY APPROPRIATION TRANSFER FROM THE IMPROVEMENT
REVENUE BOND FUND FOR THE SEACOAST ACQUISITION PRELIMINARY
EXPENDITURES
be placed on second reading and read by title alone. The motion
was seconded by Vice Mayor Marks and passed unanimously.
Vice Mayor Marks moved that Bill No. 526 be adopted as Ordinance
No. 22-87. The motion was seconded by Councilman Mundt and
passed unanimously.
Councilman Mundt moved that we accept Shearson Lehman Brothers as
our bond underwriters. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor
Marks.
Councilman Mundt moved to amend the motion as follows: unless we
determine that E. F. Hutton has a conflict with Palm Beach
Gardens that they cannot get out of by Friday, December 18, 1987,
at 4:00 p.m. and, if so, then the contract will go to Merrill
Lynch. The motion was seconded by Councilman Mays and passed
unanimously.
Thereafter Council voted on the main motion, as mended, which
passed unanimously.
The meeting was recessed at 9:25 p.m. and was reconvened at 9:32
p.m.
Vice Mayor Marks moved that we appoint Gee & Jenson for
engineering consultant services in conjunction with the possible
acquisition of Seacoast Utilities, and that we accept their full
proposed contract unless by Tuesday, December 22, 1987 at 4:00
p.m. we have a signed Agreement with Palm Beach Gardens, Lake
Park, and the Northern Palm Beach County Water Control District
to share the Palm Beach Gardens' engineer and, in that event,
that we employ them on an hourly basis for a substantially lower
scope of services. The motion was seconded by Councilman Mundt
and passed unanimously.
