Mr. LaPorte moved that the audit report be approved. Mr. Iglehart seconded the motion. Motion passed. Mir.

A letter from Gulf Stream Golf Club was received concerning the traffic situation at AlA and NE Bth Street. Since this matter was discussed at the last Commission meeting there was no further discussion on the subject. A letter from Mr. John A. Kennedy was discussed and Mayor Koch said the matter had been resolved. A letter from Palm Beach County regarding their new animal control and vaccination law was discussed and turned over to the Town Attorney for further study. A letter from C.S. Jerome regarding an address for his home located just West of the Little Club was read. Also the Town Clerk said he had been requested to ask the Commission for approval of the naming of the private road in front of the Little Club and for street lights and signs on the road. Since the road is private the Commission instructed the Town Clerk that the Town would not enter into the above matters. Police reports for December were read. Security costs for Place Au Soleil Subdivision from Security Detective Agency and The Wackenhut Corporation were discussed. Mr. Iglehart moved that this be tabled for further consideration. Mr. LaPorte seconded the motion. Motion passed. Chief Cowart was asked to leave the meeting and there was discussion on the present police force and the vacancy now existing. An intensive effort to fill the vacancy is to be made and if there are no results within ten days the Commission will meet to go into the situation further. COMMISSION MEETING, January 9, 1970 Page 2 The Town Clerk reported on various types of oxygen equipment that could be used in the Police cars. The Aristocrat No. 82 was suggested as the simplest to operate and lists for $75.00. Also the Town Clerk suggested that fire extinguishers be bought for each car. They are available from the Delray Beach Fire Department for $19.00 each. Mr. Hart moved that each car be so equipped. Mr. LaPorte seconded the motion. Motion passed. The budget report for the first quarter of the fiscal year was received by the Commission. Action on the fire contract is still being delayed pending the completion of the audit in the Town of Ocean Ridge. Ordinance No. 69 -1, Felon registration, was adopted on its second and final reading. There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting was adjourned.

Clement, President of the Gulfstream Bath & Tennis Club. The number of people using this club during "peak season" is comparable to the number using the Gulfstream Bath and Tennis Club. Although our club is located a mile or so north of the other club, those coming from the south to our club premises encounter the same vexing problem at 8th St. On behalf of our membership, I likewise support the stop -light.

'Praf_ic was diverted via Andrews Avenue, and the same situation a ^cse at th- i.n',ers -ctlon of Andrews with 8th Street. A traffic noliceman from Delray was assigned during dayli -,ht hours to control traffic here; without l:ir there would have been chaos. Now that AlA hag been repaired chaos exists at the old intersection of A'1A and 8o6A r9th Sir -et!. ;.s it not cheemer to install a stop- light _thar to assign a full tine ncl'ce officer? 5. nether than citizens who uee two totters will take s decr -i^ do noll t'.iis ;nter.ecti,cn, it is s-rve the .3x *e rurnose. of the opinion of the hoped that the appended Henry N. Whitney December 17, 1969 The Honorable Jack L. Saunders i4ayor of Delray Beach Delray Beach, Florida Dear ."ir: I. Franklin G. Clement, President of the Gulf Stream Rath and Tennis Club, have read the petition relative to the installation of a stop -go light at the intersection of Eighth . "treet and AIA. Our club is located just a few feet from this intersection and most of our members, including myself, have occasion to turn here daily, or several times a day. The blinker is completely inadequate to control the traffic and creates a dangerous situation. We have close to four hundred fifty members, and when their children, guests, etc., are here during peak season, possibly one thousand people using our club are af- fected by this unnecessary and dangerous condition. Doubtless several other thousands of citizens, with no connection with our club, are similarly affect- ed. On behalf of our membership I advocate installation of a stop -go light. Fincerely, Franklin G. Clement President John A. Kennedy 3250 POLO DRIVE GULF STREAM P. O. BOX 1898 DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA 33444 December 15, 1969 Town Council Mayor William F. Koch, Jr. Mr. John G. Hart Mr. J. Phil Hoyle Mr. William S. LaPorte Mr. Stewart B. Iglehart Gentlemen: I have deep regret at apparently being forced to make a complaint because it has always been my aspiration to be a reasonably agreeable neighbor but because of the circumstances which I am outlining below I think the Town Council should take some action to remove a most objectionable feature to those of us who live on Polo Drive. Complaints to the neighbor involved seems to get none of us anywhere. On Friday evening, December 12th, about dusk Mrs. Kennedy was returning from her usual walk to the mailbox on Ocean Boulevard when she reached very close to our front drive she was charged by a snarling bulldog belonging to our neighbor across the street, Mr. Sherman D. Clough, 3251 Polo Drive. The dog continued to charge at her; she finally, after speaking to it in a soft voice, yelled at it to stop and go home and yelled to Mr. Clough who was standing in front on his porch to please call his dog off. His mild calls apparently had little effect at first. At this moment our driver who was bringing me back from the Miami Airport reached a spot in the road immediately in front of Mrs. Kennedy and the dog. I urged him to stop so he wouldn't injure continued Town Council December 15, 1969 Page 2 the animal. Mrs. Kennedy said she was severely frightened. This was the first time in her life that any dog has frightened her. She has had dogs of all sorts in her family since she was a baby. I put down the door window of the car, asking Mr. Clough wouldn't he please keep this obviously dangerous animal on a leash. His reply was, "I don't have to. ". This is not the first time this dog has caused commotion in various degrees in our neighborhood. Our cook, Mrs. Sally Partridge, reports now that she is so scared because the dog has charged her several times that she walks down past the Whitehead house to Gulf stream Road and then comes back to the Middle Road residences of two or three of our neighbors down there with whom she exchanges afternoon or early evening visits. She told us that one of the girls had her stockings torn by the dog when it bounced at her. Last spring while I was dictating in my library to Mrs. Given we heard a pitiful child's ..yell. We both went out to investigate and found that a lady had driven up into our driveway after this same dog attacked her child who was delivering something or other for some church festival. The lady didn't give me her name but both she and her daughter were still quite frightened. I told her to stay there until she felt she was able to drive alright. During the spring holidays when we were entertaining my daughter and her children and a nursemaid the nursemaid had one of my little granddaughters out for a walk on Polo Drive when the dog charged them, naturally, terrifying the little girl and scaring the wits out of the nursemaid. A year ago while the Garden Clubs of the Delray area were putting on a Christmas benefit sale at our house Admiral Edmond J. Moran, 3140 Polo Drive, was talking with one of the Gulf Stream policemen who was helping in the parking of cars, when the two dogs of Mr. Clough charged him and circled him snarling in a rather frightening manner. Finally Mr. Clough was able to get his dogs continued Town Council December 15, 1969 Page 3 to come home, I suppose fearing that the policeman might cause to use the tools of his trade on the offending animals. The Admiral gave me permission to quote him as I have just done. Mrs. James F. Whitehead, 3259 Polo Drive, reports that one of the young men from their Marineway was calling to get the automobile of Mr. Franklin P. O'Brien, 3232 Polo Drive, when the dogs charged him. Fortunately he was able to quickly get into Mr. O'Brien's car to protect himself. Mrs. Whitehead gave me permission to quote her on this incident. Mrs. Robert Darling, 3550 Polo Drive, who for years has been walking her dog along Polo Drive, as do many of our and your friends (always keeping their animals on a leash), was charged by the Clough dogs and now states she hates to walk past the Clough house which means elimination of a rather pleasant journey down Polo Drive to Golfview. Mrs. John K. Whittemore 2950 Polo Drive, for many years has walked her dog, on leash, both when she lived in the house where the Darlings now are as well as in her present location. One day this spring the dogs charged at her snarling and growling. She suggested to Mr. Clough who was in his front yard that he keep his dogs on leash like most everyone else does in the neighborhood. She had no answer. Mrs. Whittemore also gave me permission to quote her. It occurs to me that the incidents cited above which I'm sure do not re -state a complete record of all incidents but certainly are representative should cause the Town Council to take some action to lessen the hazard to our children, the servants and people who are accustomed to enjoying the pleasures of walking on Polo Drive unmolested. (1) Suggest this could take the form of an enactment of a leash law, which of course continued Town Council December 15, 1969 Page 4 they have long had in Delray Beach as well as in most communities. (2) Take steps to ask Mr. Clough to confine his dogs, even to a fenced area behind his house so they will not disturb the neighbors, or (3) Take some legal action to eliminate the nuisance which I believe the above listed incidents would justify and thus restore some tranquility to Polo Drive. I understand you have a meeting of the Commission scheduled for 9 January, at which I hope this letter can receive attention. Mrs. Kennedy asks that if the meeting is to be held on that date or any other in the near future that we both be permitted to attend and recite her, my and our experiences as well as that of our neighbors as listed above. I would think it quite proper that the Town Clerk send a copy of this letter to Mr. Clough so that he too might be present to state his position on the subjects above listed. Again, I am embarrassed at having to make complaints of this nature. We have made them several times to the police and to Mr. Ward, but they have expressed the feeling that they are somewhat powerless to act because of the lack of any ord- inance empowering them to do anything about this or other similar situations. I am sending a copy of this letter to each of the individual commissioners so that they will know in advance the nature of our complaint. John A. Kennedy 3250 POLO DRIVE GULF STREAM P. O.

(CARD COMPTROLLER OFFICE OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR Attached you will find a copy of the recently passed Animal Control & Vaccination Law, (Chapter. 69 -1432, Laws of Florida). These rules and regulations were officially adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on December 9, 1969, with an effective date of January 1, 1970. It is the purpose of the Board of County Commissioners to enforce these rules and regulations countywide, including the incorporated areas. The County would prefer that cats and dogs have only one (1) license and one (1) tag issued by the County through the individual veterinarians who have been furnished tags and licenses. Since the County rules and regulations make no provision for a leash law, local ordinances may be desirable that are more stringent, therefore necessitating a separate license. The County cannot reimburse the incorporated areas for any animal control efforts that they may wish to enforce. All funds acquired by the County are needed to implement this program. The staffing for this program will be minimal this first To: P. B. Co. Municipalities Page -2- year since owners of animals will be given a full year to acquire a tag and license. Efforts will be made, however, to pick up stray animals not believed to belong to anyone. The Animal Rescue League will continue to pick up all animals from city pounds as in previous years. We would appreciate your cooperation and assistance in making this program successful. y truly y ur , Jack Dean JD:em County Administrator Enclosure RESOLUTION BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDA, in regular meeting assembled this 9th day of December, A.D., 1969, that, pursuant to authority con- tained in Chapter 69 -1432, Laws of Florida, Regular Session 1969 Florida Legislature and to further protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of said County, the follow- ing rules and regulations are hereby adopted, promulgated, and established to govern impounding and disposition of animals, diseased or running at large, and the establishment and opera- tion of an animal control center (pound).

There is no need for me to restate all of the various provisions as they are self explanatory and I am sure anyone interested can readily interpret the meaning of the resolution. The owners of all dogs and cats in the Town of Gulf Stream are required to comply with the resolution. I do not find that the Town needs to adopt any resolution or ordinance concerning the matter.

Ward Deputy Town Clerk Town of Gulf Stream P. O. Box 255 Delray Beach, Florida 33444 Dear Mr. Ward: WEST PALM BEACH AREA OFFICE 1441 SOUTH MILITARY TRAIL WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA (305) 955.3770 The following proposal is hereby submitted as per your conversation with our representative, Mr. S. Phillips. The Wackenhut Corporation will provide your organization with professionally trained uniformed armed guards at the rate of $2. 65 per hour straight time and $3. 975 for overtime, when specifically requested. These rates represent the total cost to your organization. They include uniforms and equipment, training and on-the-job supervision, all payroll taxes, screening and polygraphing of all employees, workman's compensation insurance and one of the finest compre- hensive liability insurance programs offered by any security company. A copy of our insurance analysis is enclosed. While there are various plans, and combinations thereof, that could be employed to render your security requirements, we are presenting two 'basic proposals which are flexible and can be adjusted to most changing situations. Plan Number One. Erect a guard house, equipped with telephone, at the entrance to the area. An electrically operated drop -'bar should also be installed. One guard will be posted. The duty hours will be determined by requirements of your organization; however, it is suggested that as a minimum the hours should cover the periods of darkness. Under this plan the guard would operate gate, leaving it open when vacating post. He would answer all emergency calls from residents, using his own vehicle. A charge of 12 cents per mile will be made for such useage. It should be pointed out that a gate operated by an identification card could be installed which would allow the gate to be kept closed when not attended by the guard. _z_ Plan Number Two. Post a guard in a radio equipped patrol car at the entrance. Irregular patrol of the area will be made. The radio will allow constant contact with residents as well as the local law enforcement agencies and fire depart- ments. The vehicle will also be equipped with oxygen and first aid equipment. The charge for the patrol car is $10. 00 per day and 12 cents per mile. The charge for the guard will be at the above quoted rates. As has 'been previously stated these plans are flexible and 'can be changed to meet any additional requirements. We, here at the Wackenhut Corporation, are well aware that a courteous and professionally trained, uniformed security guard, not only provides a vital security function, 'but will also contribute immeasurably to the status of an area. Our guards are under constant supervision and training by our super- visory personnel. All members of our management team make periodic inspections of posts. These inspections are reflected in the Security Guard Report which is maintained'by the guard and reviewed by inspecting personnel. The Wackenhut Corporation, a Florida corporation with executive offices located in Coral Gables, is one of the largest security and investigative organizations in the nation, with operations extending from Puerto Rico, throughout the United States, to Hawaii and South America. Our protective services include profes- sionally trained uniformed armed guards, 'background investigations on individuals, 'business firms and organizations, financial investigations, pre and post employment polygraph examinations, security surveys, service surveys, electronic sweeps for hidden electronic devices, undercover operations, and other security measures including closed circuit T. V. surveillance systems and alarm systems. No security job is too large or too small for Wackenhut. We provide services from a one man guard force to guard forces consisting of several hundred men. We also operate complete municipal police and fire de- partments. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any additional information. Thank you for considering the Wackenhut Corporation.
