Home My Public Portal About09/11/1970Present: COMMISSION MEETING Sept 11, 1970 WILLIAM F. KOCH, JR. J. PHIL HOYLE GEORGE W. WALKER Mayor Commissioner Commissioner Also attending: R. D. Worthing, Att'y. Henry F. Lilienthal, and Kathleen Kirton. 11 Mayor Koch called the meeting to order. 2. Mr. Hoyle moved that the Minutes of the Commission Meeting held on June 12, 1970, be approved and that the reading thereof be waived. Motion, seconded by Mr. Walker, unanimously carried. 3. Financial reports for the months of June, July and August were unanimously approved as submitted, on motion of Mr. Hoyle and duly seconded by Mr. Walker. 4.a Mr. H. Schuyler Cole, by his letter of June 23, 1970, copy of which is on file in the Town Hall, protested the March Billing of $635.00 for a reported consumption of 3,170,000 gals of water as reflected in the alleged reading of the Water Meter on his property located at 3580 Polo Drive. The Town Manager informed the Commission that an analysis of water consumption through the meter on Mr. Cole's property, for the period commencing April 1, 1970 and terminating on July 312 1970, reflects a monthly average consumption on his property of 224,000 gallons, charge for which would be $45.80, and recommends an adjustment of said March charge to provide a credit for the difference in gallonage, namely, 2,946,000 gals amounting to an allowance (credit) of $589.20. The Commission, on motion by Mr. Hoyle and duly seconded by Mr. Walker, unanimously sustained the recommendation and auth- orized an adjustment of Mr. Cole's March billing to reflect a charge of $45.80, based upon such average monthly usage of 224,000 gals., providing thereby a 'Credit' of $589.20. 4.b Provision for considering contracting with the Palm Beach County Planning, Zoning and Building Department for its Inspection Di- vision to provide for INSPECTION of ALL Building Construction, Alterations and Additions, in the Town of Gulf Stream, was dis- cussed by the Commission. Following general discussion and consideration for providing such services, and determining such functions to be in the best interest of the Town of Gulf Stream, the Commission, on motion of Mr. Walker, duly seconded by Mr. Hoyle, unanimously approved providing such Inspection Services by the Palm Beach County's Building Inspection Department SUBJECT to the Town of Gulf Stream complying with said Building Department's requirements, as set forth in its letter of June 12, 1970. - G - 5. Vacations disrupted normal monthly Reports of individual Police Officers, and a combined recap of the various functions of the Department, for the months of June, July and August, was submit- ted. This recapitulation of the combined activities of the Of- ficers disclosed an average monthly mileage of 1505 miles per man, a total of 88 individual 'Calls' being answered and nine arrests being made. 6. The proposed 'Budget' for the coming fiscal year commencing on October 1, 1970, was submitted for Commission consideration. Following general discussion of the proposed budget which, in part, reflects a General Fund total of $ 96,720.00 and a Water Fund total of $ 27,500.00, and a levy of three (3) mills to be applied against the assessed valuations of all taxable proper- ties within the Town, the Commission, on motion of Mr. Hoyle and seconded by Mr. Walker, unanimously approved the proposed Budget as submitted. 7. The Budget for the coming fiscal year commencing October 1, 1970 provided, in part, for a pro -rata share of the estimated General Fund Expenses to be borne by the Water Fund, said 'Share' to be in the amount of $5,600.00. Resolution No. 8 -70, authorizing such pro -rata share of General Fund expenses to be borne by the Water Fund, and being in the amount of $5,600.00, was PASSED & ADOPTED on this first and final reading on motion of Mr. Walker duly seconded by Mr. Hoyle. 8. RESOLUTION NO. 9 -70, establishing a three (3) mill levy against the assessed valuations of all taxable properties in the Town of Gulf Stream, for the calendar year 1970, was PASSED & ADOPTED on its first and final reading on motion by Mr. Hoyle and seconded by Mr. Walker. 9. The Commission Members had been furnished a copy of the Charter and the Bylaws for the Palm Beach County Municipal League, and following general discussion concerning the League, RESOLUTION NO. 10 -70 providing for effecting Membership therein, was, by unanimous consent and on motion of Mr. Hoyle, seconded by Mr. Walker, PASSED & ADOPTED on this first and final reading. It was further understood and agreed that an appropriation from the Contingency Fund, in the amount of $50.00, be authorized to cover the Membership Fee. 10. ORDINANCE NO. 70 -1, providing for granting a Franchise to Tele- prompter Florida CATV Corporation, was submitted on this final reading. On motion of Mr. Walker, seconded by Mr. Hoyle, the COMMISSION unanimously approved PASSAGE & ADOPTION of said Ord- inance No. 70 -1 SUBJECT to the 'Rate Schedule' as set forth and contained in EXHIBIT "A ", attached to and forming a part of the Ordinance, being amended to reflect and provide that there shall be NO INSTALLATION CHARGE for one year following completion of the System. Such amendment was provided on the original copy of said Ordinance No. 70 -1 through notation affected therein by Mr. Thomas W. Hopping, representative of Teleprompter Florida CATV Corporation. 11. There was general discussion concerning initial steps being taken to obtain plans, engineering costs, and ultimate con- struction cost for providing a Sewage Collection System for the Town of Gulf Stream. Some protest to any expenditure of funds for such undertaking was voiced by Mr. Iglehart, as well as Mr. 1'ope. Also present at the Commission meeting was Mr. Arnold Jones who strongly favored action being taken toward providing ultimate sewage collection service within the Town. The Commission, on motion by Mr. Hoyle and seconded by Mr. Walker, unanimously approved the solicitation of proposals, from certified State registered Consulting Engineering firms, for furnishing plans, estimated engineering and construction costs, relative to a sewage collection system for the Town of Gulf Stream with possible disposal provisions being effected with Delray Beach, through its Ocean Out£all System, or in lieu thereof, establishing a treatment and disposal plant in the Town. The Commission further directed the Manager to notify all property owners within the Town of Gulf Stream of the date, time and place where Commission Meetings will be held and to urge their attendance at such meetings in as much as items of great importance, vital interest to the community, and possibly affecting residents properties, may be considered by the Commission at any meeting. No further business being scheduled, th , meeting was adjourned. � A(Fe� L WILLIAM F. KOCH, JR. MAYOR ATTEST: R. D.

SCHUYLER COLE -� 4700 WILLOW HILLS LANE ( CINCINNATI. OHIO 45243 September 4th, 1970 MR. R. D. Worthing, Town of Gulf Stream, Delray Beach, Florida Dear Mr Worthing: Due to the high efficiency of the U. S. Mails, your letter was deposited in some one else's mail box, and was finally returned to me yes- terday. The settlement that you propose sounds reason- able and fair to me since it was obvious that the billing to which I objected was incorrect. As far as I am concerned, I would be happy to have you keep the $589.20 as a credit and let me use it up over a period of time against the town's charges for water. Thank you for your help in this matter. Sincerely, r August 25, 1970. MR, H. SCHUYLL•:R CGLE, 4700 Willow Hills Lane, Cincinnati, Ohio. 45243 Dear Mr. Cole: With reference to your kind letter of i+ugust 21st, which I greatly appreciate, partic- ularly the time spent, research made, and comparative analysis of period usages of water as reflected in your communication, I would like to suggest to the Commission that an adjustment be made of the March 31st billing, based on the following: 224,000 Gals of beater - $ 45.80 (Aver. Monthly Usage during the period April 1st through July 31, 1970.) Should the Commission, which I trust will meet in September, accept such a recommenda- tion from me, resulting in a refund or credit of $589.20, whichever would be your desire, and before offering such suggestion I would appreciate hearing from you, at your convenience, as to your concurrence and approval relative to such proposed recommendation. Respectfully yours, TVWN GULF' STREVV RDW:mc Manager 4700 Willow Hills bane, Cincinnati, Ohio 45243 August 21st, 1970 Mr R. D. Worthing, Town of Gulf Stream, Delray Beach, Florida Dear Mr Worthing: Thank you for your letter of the 17th, and I appreciate the effort you went to in providing the figures. I still must disagree with your conclusions that the fault resulting in the stated alleged water consumption is the work of the lawn maintenance operator rather than the meter and /or the readings of the Town. My reasons for this feel- ing are as follows: 1) During the period June 169 thru March 170, total consumption is shown as 3,340,000 gallons, or an average of 334,000 per month. 2) During the four months April thru July 170, total consumption was 897,000 gallons, or 224,000 gallons per month. 3) If you will check average consumption for the year preceding June of 169, you will find that the figures, as I remember them, are near the lower level of April July 170. 4) In each of the periods mentioned above, the house was open and occupied about half of the total time. I do not dispute that too much water may be going on the lawn and shrubbery as your check in the month of July 170 indicated, but this resulted in consumption of an average of 224,000 gallons per month. Incidentally, Kilpatrick has supposedly cor- rected this since youvinspection. The lawn watering matter is not adverse to nay position that the reported consumption during the period June 169 thru March 170 was about 50% greater than in the four subsequent months, and will be found to be far greater that it was during the 12 months preceding June t69, on an average month basis. This disagreement is a matter of principle to me, since I am un- able to accept the new figures as logical, and since the Town when it presented the large bill did not bother to give me any explanation whatsoever. In conclusion, the Town was clearly at fault in not presenting accurate bills for water. Furthermore, it would have been logical to present a bill based on the average of the 12 months preceding the period of fault rather than using a figure far above any re- corded consumption of any other extended period. I would appreciate your presenting my contentions to the Town Commission. Sincerely, K-S� August 17, 1970, MR. H. SCHUYLER COLE, 4700 Willow Hills Lane, Cincinnati, Ohio. 45243 Dear Sir: Your letter of august 12th is appreciated. It is most unfortunate that, apparently commencing with June 1969 alleged meter readings, accurate and physical readings were evidently not provided. Those responsible for this condition are no longer connected with the Town of Gulf Stream. Said so- called readings reflected the following ridiculous and meaningless consumption through February of 1970: MONTH CCNSUMPTION ALLEGED METER YEAR M GAL READING June 169 13 6629 July 11 6640 August 32 6672 September 26 6698 October 19 6717 November 20 6737 December 19 6756 January 070 14 6770 February 20 6790 March 3170 9960 2 -Month Period - May 429 10389 if to July 468 10857 The March, May and July reading, in 1970, are true correct meter readings which the undersigned believes to re- flect actual consumption though not needed for the purpose intended, namely, watering of your grounds. - 2 - Upon noting the metered consumption of water on your property, during the month of July, I personally pro- vided for an inspection of the property, the reading of the meter, and checking of the time clock regulating the sprinkler system. On July 31st, as well as August 6th, the System was in operation from 2:25 A.M. to 6:15 A.M., resulting in a great deal of water merely running down the paved street to a nearby drain (man - hole), due to ground saturation. I am not qualified to advise you in this matter of water needed for lawn sprinkling, but I would suggest that the clock governing such usage be adjusted to reduce water sprinkling at least fifty per cent. As previously advised, in my letter to you, dated June 26th, I shall refer the matter to the Town Commission at its next regular meeting, however, after investigating your system, and finding the needless usage of water, it appears to me that water consumption on your property is not the fault of the Town but rather your lawn maintenance operator. I trust my inspection of your water system, which also disclosed one open outlet, due to a broken sprinkler head, meets with your approval, and that my suggestion for drastically reducing water consumption be received in the spirit as offered. Respectfully yours, TOWN 9F GULF' ST H. SCHUYLER COLE 4700 WILLOW HILLS LANE CINCINNATI. OHIO 45243 August 12th, 1970 Mr R. D. Worthing, Town of Gulf Stream, Delray Beach, Florida Dear Mr Worthing: Thank you for your letter of June 26th concern- ing the useage of water at our residense at 3580 Polo Drive, Gulf Stream. I have delayed answering this until I coulf Uave a survey made of our watering system. This has been done in July by the Kilpathiok people of Boynton Beach, and they have given me this re- port. III dont believe that any of the above would cause excessive bill (Use of water)." "Any of the above" included one small leak, and several breaks caused by verti cutting of the lawn done in early July of 1970. I would still like to have this matter reviewed thoroughly, as you will note thatthe water useage charged to me during the period July 1969 to the spring of 1970 was far above previous and sub- sequent consumption. Thank you for your help in this. Sincerely, Mf/ .a: MA POLICE CHIEF ROY COWART: Kindly request the NIGHT OFFICER to check (hourly) the property of H. SCHUYLER COLE at 3580 POLO DRIVE and determine the approximate HOURLY OPERATION of his Sprinkler System. WATER CONSUMPTION on Mr. Cole's property is far greater than any other property in Gulf Stream. I feel this may be due to his Electric Clock control of the System for Sprinkling being set to run longer than may be necessary. He is complaining of the Water Bills, however, I be- lieve the Officer's finding, as requested above, may be the answer and allow me to comply with his request from Ohio as to how such an enormous amount of water is being consumed. i�v t�► i /e- it AIXIS e07 �� RDW pow 8'040" -r(,) ^ C, ES.0, H. SCHUYLER COLE 4700 WILLOW HILLB LANE CINCINNATI. OHIO 45243 June 23d, 1970 Town Clerk, Gulf Stream, Delray Beach, Florida Dear Sir: I am herewith paying my water bill arrears under protest since I believe that it is not correct. I would like to have this matter reviewed. The reason for this disbelief is simple. The water consumption during the period July 1969 thru March 1970 averaged more than 50% above the consumption per month for the preceding year. The base reading in July was a special one made by Mr Ward, so it is presumed to be correct. The time clock cmntrolled watering periods for the lawn were unchanged during this entire 20 month period. Mr Ward Wmised that this matter would be looked into when I talked to him about it in April, but apparently nothing has been done. I would appreciate your having this matter re- viewed.

SCHUYLER COLE, 4700 willow Hills Lane, Cincinnati, Ohio. 45243 Dear Mr. Cole: With reference to your letter of June 23rd, relative to the payment of The Town of Gulf Stream Water Bill, it certainly appears to the undersigned as possibly being excessive. I have only this month been ap- pointed Town Manager of Gulf Stream. The pre- vious Manager and Deputy Clerk having retired from the administration. This matter will be referred to the Town Commission, you may be as- surred. The next meeting of the Commission will not be held until sometime in August, due to ab- sence of Commission Members as a result of their summer vacations. You may be further assured that I shall investigate this matter to the extent pos- sible and trust I may encourage the Commission to provide some relief from said charge which may have been in error, not necessarily due to any individual's fault. You will hear from me at a later date concerning this matter.

You will notice that this C letter constitutes acceptance of the franchise, but since I don't have a copy of the franchise, I am not sure that this acceptance has been filed within the time required by the franchise, which is probably 60 days from the date of passage of the Ordinance. If this should be correct, I am wondering if you would feel it desirable to call this to the Council's attention at the next meeting, and perhaps they can pass a motion authorizing the Clerk to accept this belated acceptance as a proper acceptance under the franchise. This was one of the municipalities handled pretty much by the Regional Manager, and I did not participate in the matter fully and did not become aware of the fact that this acceptance had not been filed with the Town. I£ there is any difficulty about the late filing, please advise me and I will do whatever is reasonably necessary to satisfy you and the Town in regard to this matter. Sincerely yours, over C.
