A request for a police dispatch system by one of the Town's
citizens was discussed, and a report submitted by Police Chief
Roy Cowart was read. Chief Cowart stated many reasons why this
system would not be advantageous to the Town. A general
discussion followed and the Town Clerk was advised to write a
letter to the person desiring this system stating the Town
of Gulf Stream would continue with the present system. It was
also noted the Police Dept. was still looking for patrolmen.
Mayor Koch stated that they should offer the prospective
applicants the same starting salary as the City of Delray Beach.
This report is included herewith and becomes a part of these
minutes.
Upon presentation of a tentative plat of the "Pope Property"
between Old School Road and the Little Club Golf Course it
was moved by Mr. Whittemore and seconded by Mrs. LaPorte that
the Town give tentative approval to said plat. Motion Passed.
Commission Meeting July 12, 1974 cunt. Page 2.
C� A letter was read to the Council written by Mrs. Carr on the
status of Carr Soil and Sod operation in the Town of Gulf
Stream. She explained that they were in the process of
removing everything from the Town of Gulf Stream property
they now occupy and would have the project completed in a
period of approximately six months.
Attorney John Randolph gave a brief report on laws recently
enacted by the State Legislature. This included discussion
on Financial Disclosure, Comprehensive Planning, Flood
Insurance, Homestead Exemption, Collective Bargaining,
Revenue Sharing Bill and the Police Officers Bill of Rights.
A letter from Russell and Axon dated July 2nd was read to
the Town Commission stating how they were proceeding with
information to be presented to the Town Commission sometime
in the fall 1974 on the Water System Aquisition.
Town Manager reported that the Commission should consider
some additional parking spaces at the Town Hall since we
would no longer be able to use the vacant lot east of the
Town Hall. The Commission instructed the Town Manager to
try and work this paving in at the same time Mr. Harvel is
repaving portions of Gulf Stream Road and Banyan Road.
)^ A request to read the water meters quarterly was presented to
the Town Commission, Mr. Gwynn noting that the water bills were
becoming a full time job at the To-n Hall and in order to
save time for other work necessary to running the Town it
would be a considerable saving in time and money to change
the meter readings from six times a year to four. Mrs. LaPorte
made a motion that the reading of water meters be done on a
quarterly basis starting October 1, 1974, seconded by Mr.
Whittemore and passed by the Council. Mr. Gwynn was then
told to send out notices advising residents of the change.
Upon presentation of the plat of Driftwood Landing, Mrs.
LaPorte moved that the Town give final approval and accept
said plat subject to County approval. Motion seconded by
Mr. Whittemore. Motion passed.
A letter was read from Mr. Harvel, Director of Public Works
for the City of Delray Beach advising the To--n that in the
near future Delray plans to resurface the south half of
Pelican Lane with asphalt from A 1 A to Andrews Avenue.
The north half of this street belongs to the Town of
Gulf Stream and he requested approval to pave the entire street
providing the Town of Gulf Stream would reimburse the City
of Delray Beach only for the cost of material required to
resurface the north half at a price approximately $855.00.
f- „ Mrs. LaPorte made a motion that we accept this offer,
seconded by Mr. Whittemore. Motion passed.
Commission Meeting July 12, 1974 cont. Page 3.
The Commission approved a recommendation that a Special Bank
Account fund of $500.00 be set up for emergency use by the
Deputy Town Clerk. The action was taken subject to the
approval of the Town Attorney.
Meeting adjourned.

Hon. Mayor William F. Koch and Commissioners:
Re: Gulf Stream obtaining our own Radio and Dispatch System
I talked to Mr. Roberts of the Motorola Communication System in West
Palm Beach, who helped Ocean Ridge get their base station. He advised
me that it is virtually impossible to get a radio frequency assigned to
any town now, especially in this area where the Central Dispatch system will
go into effect in the future. He explained that there is a shortage of
radio frequencies in this area, and that is one reason for the Central
Dispatch system.
We would also have to justify our having a frequency assigned to the
Town. I don't feel that we can justify that at this time, with only three
radios.
I talked to Chief Spano of Ocean Ridge, and learned that it took them
pproximately three years to get their frequency assigned, and that was
jefore there was any talk of the C.D.S. Ocean Ridge could also justify
their reasons for having a radio frequency more easily than Gulf Stream
because of their fire department.
I checked with Chief Spano regarding the cost of the dispatch system. As
you know the system will require around the clock dispatching seven days
per week, so that will require at least four full time and one part time
dispatcher. Ocean Ridge starts their dispatchers off at $3.00 per hour.
Based on this rate, the cost would be:
$6,240 per dispatcher per year
x 4 dispatchers
24,960.
3,120. Half -time dispatcher
28,080. Total annual salary
1,248. Social Security
500. Uniforms
29,828.
1,000. Maintainence on base station
7,000. Initial cost of base station
$37,828. Total cost to operate base station first year
Even if we could get our base station, I believe the cost would be too great.
Also, I believe it is to our benefit to stay with Delray so we will know
what's going on in the surrounding area; also, being hooked in with their
Cation, we can call on Delray at any time for help, and they will respond.
Personally, I believe the system we now operate under, is best for us at the
present time.
Roy L. Cowart, Chief of Police
