Absent: V. A. Marks, M.D., Mayor Vice Mayor Moore called the Workshop Session to order at 9:40 p.m. ROLL CALL All members of the Council and Staff were present except Mayor Marks. A discussion was held concerning Bill No. 350, a proposed ordinance AMET~If TO an~nding Chapter 17 of the Village of North Palm Beach Code, CHAPTER 17 OF THE licenses and miscellaneous business regulations, by regulating OODE, REGULATING garage sales or other sales of merchandise on residential premises GARAGE SAi:GS -- and providing penalty for violation. Cottt-cilman Brain stated that BILL NO. 350 the only thing that might be left out is that a net-gh~r can't bring other items into a garage sale that is being held down the street. He felt that all the things that are berg sold should be the property of the people who have the garage sale. Village Attorney Gildan advised that this prevents anyone holding said sale fran taking in anything on consigtmient (whether enterprise or comrercial) . Cotmcilwanan Nolan caanezlted that sometimes people don't even make $10 during a garage sale and that the permit fee required in the amoult of $10.00 was a large fee. The Village Manager stated that we will have to subsidize through taxes. It was thought that the $10 permit fee would just about pay for the application and processing thereof. In Section 17-51. Same-Permit ~~.e~~u~~i__r__e__d~., shall read as follows: "...Applications for sucTi pe-~ sl~ll~e made to the Village Building Official in such form as may be required." This item will be on Regular agenda of 5/22/80. A discussion was held concerning Bill No. 351, a proposed ordinance BT7i. NO. 3.i1 -- amending Chapter 4 of the Village of North Palm Beach Code AMEbIDIt~ C!~APT~t 4 (Animals and Fowl) to better clarify wording of Section 4-27, OF THE VRZAGE CODE paragraph (d) and to modify section 4-30 to allow a $3.00 per day board fee in addition to the $10.00 redemption fee. This item will be on the Regular agenda of 5/22/80. A discussion was held conceming a proposed resolution limiting the term of advisory board members to two terms, requiring advertisement in the Village Newsletter of vacancies on advisory boards and creating a moratoriun on service on different advisory boards for a two year hiatus. Vice Mayor Moore originally put this item on Workshop on 7/27/78 and it failed 3/2 with Brawn, Kazimir and Love opposed. He brought it back to be workshopped because he feels the advisory boards in the Village should have new ideas and after a person has served four or six years, according to the terms of office, the same ideas are brought up by the same individuals. Councilwoman Nolan agreed with Vice Mayor Moore to put it on the Regular agenda. Councilman Brown felt that it is up to the Cotmcil to decide who is on the advisory boards and President Pro Tem Valente was also opposed. Vice Mayor Moore instructed the Village Clerk to put this item back on the Workshop agenda of 5/22/80. There being no further business to cane before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 9:48 p.m. LIMITING TEf~I OF ADVISORY BOARD MQ~ERS -- PROPOSID RESOLUTION AWOURI~MENI' Minutes recorded by: Cheryl S. Collins, Deputy Village Clerk -3- A discussion was held concerning exercising the option to purchase the tat acre parcel on Prosperity Fauns Road.. It was agreed that Council must exercise its option to the property first, then get a written agreement with George Delacorte, and finally, an agreement with an architect. This iten will be on Regular of 6-26-80. A discussion was held concerning permittir-g Gulfstream Goodwill Industries to place one attended center in the Village. The Village Attorney stated that a contract could be drafted allowing the use of public land, for a limited purpose, specific time, insurance coverage, etc. Councilwoman Nolan stated that the discussion held previously concerning personnel regulations covered only this year. The Village Manager stated that he had. talked to Ted Cox of the Department of Cannunity Affairs and they are drafting a new policy. Further, that Resolution No. 25-80, which was adopted by Council, can be made so that it can be read on an annualized basis and if anyone on the Staff understood it. There is still a problem with transition. Councilwoman Nolan stated that she would like this item to come back before t'ne end of August. Mayor :larks stated that we will check through the State level and find out why they did not endorse our request; that we will make application for marine sanctuary designation again. Playor h'Iarks said that it appears that Palm Beach Gardens is going ahead with plans to purchase Seacoast. Mayor Marks noted that it would be nice to plant some flowering shrubs on the median strip along U. S. Highway ~~1 and Northlake Boulevard. This matter will be discussed with members of the Garden Club. Cotncilworc~t Nolan wandered when we would go through the process of selecting a CPA firm. The Village Manager stated that he received a letter from Paul Brener, Ernst & Whinney, st~tiinn~~ that they will lock-in the price that they quoted to us if we will prepare the doctments requested in their previous letter. Councilwoman Nolan thanked Councilman Brown for taking on the Uniform Election Conmittee work. Councilman Brown stated that he has been a representative for the Village and this area, of the County on what is called the 208 Board. This Board was formed for the 208 District which includes this County, part of Martin County and part of Broward County, to lenent the Federally-mandated Clean Water and Clean Air Act. This has~been going on for sane five years and he has been a member for four years. He will write a memo to Council, including the preliminary items, that the Implementation Board is suggesting go into an ordinance, and asking Council for their input. This item will be on Workshop of 6-26-80. OPTION AGREQ~TT - VIIdAGE AND ROYAL AMERICAN REALTY, I GULFSTP.EA~I GOODA~7• I Itv'DUSTRIES PERSOI~~[.

A brief discussion was held concerning Ordinance 69-61. The only ORD. 69-61 problem, the Village Manager stated, is the R.O.F. and to go back and try to amend that Ordinance would require the approval of all the bond holders. We have written the banks to try to find out where all the bonds are located and we know that it will be paid off by 1988 and we can get out from underneath it. There being no further business to come before Council, the meeting ADJOURDt~NT adjourned at 9:40 p.m. Minutes recorded by: Cheryl S. Collins, Deputy Village Clerk -2- recently, they sent a car to the Gardens and after hoping and praying and arm-twisting, someone gave then air; Gardens are buying it and' they (N.P.B.) get it for nothirl$. .They were forced to go to another department and beg, borrow and steal, if you Drill, In a larger fire, the Gardens or sane other fire department would help but the small fire is what they really have a problem with. s t aps and faceshieldseon thethe7m tsLat aocostrof $ 3h per heL~net. Councilman Brown stated that the safety of the Village comes ahead of everything else. He feels that if Chief Atwater agrees that these things are necessary, the Council should try to find the money to do them and that Comcil should consider seriously, priority ~k2 and ;p3 in the Budget sessions on the same basis; that the disagree- ment an costs could be worked out and the Village Manager should investigate what he can do about .the priority ;pl itens and bring it back to the next Regular session on 6-26-80. AIIt TANKS (continued) HELMETS PRIORITY TI'FL`i1S Mayor Marks indicated that there is enough money in Council Contingency to take it out of that and put this on the agenda to purchase the priority .{pl items that we need. President Pro Tem Valente asked who uses ~~55 Village vehicle that he sees never moving outside the door. The Village Manager stated that Ray Howland uses the car every day and that it is left at the Village Hall at night; that the car could be made available if Council would consider sane option for Mr. Howland; perhaps an allowance for use of his private car since he has as much usage as anyone. The Village Manager stated that he would add one of the priority ,f{~2 items, namely, back-up air supply; that a larger tank oould be obtained and transfer air to the smaller tanks, It was the consensus of Council that back-up air supply be moved to the priority Cpl list. Mr. Temne indicated that there are lights „xadios and that type of equipment available that would not have to be purchased for an emergency (quick-response) vehicle. Mayor Marls queried as to who lets the residents through when the road is blocked during afire. Mr. Tetm~e will check into this. Mr. Temne stated that for years, he has been told "there just isn't mO~ ~eY;~~ that items were put in the budget and were cut; that had President Pro Tem Valente not requested this information, it would not have been brought up now. President Pro Tem Valente stated that all boards should be encouraged to bring their needs to Council. Mayor Marks stated that Council should be told what they need; what the cost is; why the cost has gone up and why they need it. Councilman Brown stated that Council did not know what arrangements Captain Temie would have to make about the car; that perhaps it could be taken out of Council Contingency to canpmsate. A discussion was held concerning authorizing the Mayor to execute that certain agreenent between the Village and First Presbyterian Church regarding drainage easement and joint parking areas, The /illage Manager stated that the church asked that we draft something that no one~had talked to the church about this agreement yet; that the Master Plan should be completed--the alternatives are ominous; not good at all. Further, that the cost of lighting the field, turning the field and taking care of this, plus afire truck, brings the total cost up to about 5,450,000. Councilman Brown suggested that the first step to take is for the Staff to see if this agree- ment would be acceptable to the church, if we should decide to do this during budget sessions. Council authorized the Village Manager, on a conditional basis, to negotiate with the church. VII,IAGE VEHICLE BACK-UP AIIt SUPPLY AGREEMENT' WITH FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH It was the consensus of Cotmcil that the Mayor and Village Manager AIR FORCE BEACH should make arraruements to meet with Ney Landrun to discuss Air Force Beach.
