Commissioner Wallace gave the following announcement: "On July 9th the Town
of Gulf Stream experienced the loss of Joan S. LaPorte, a caring, dedicated
resident who contributed greatly to the charming community that we call
home. She served on the Town Commission, was a member of the Architectural
Review and Planning Board, was for many years a trustee of the Gulf Stream
School, was deeply involved with St. Paul's Church, and served on many boards
including The Hospice and the Delray Beach Historical Society.
Joan LaPorte was a gracious, talented woman who gave of herself and touched
the lives of many of us, and truly brightened the world around her. Her
shining light and contributions to this community will long be remembered."
Mayor Koch asked for a few moments of silence in memory of Mrs. LaPorte.

Town Commission -July 13, 1992
VII. PUBLIC HEARING
A. Variance
1. Everett H. Jenner, Agent for William Lamson, 5565 N.E. 29th
Ave., Ft. Lauderdale, F1. 33308 - Addition on the southeast
corner of the east elevation that would increase the non-
conforming floor area ratio of the dwelling under construct-
ion at 3777 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, Florida
Mayor Koch declared a conflict of interest in this matter in that his firm
was involved in the original sale of the property. He passed the gavel
to Vice Mayor Armour. Joan Orthwein, Chairman of the ARPB reported that
her Board had recommended that the variance request be denied in that a
hardship had not been proven and that the recent ordinances that had been
adopted should be followed.
Everett H. Jenner, Agent for Mr. Lamson began his presentation by reciting
his qualifications and achievements in the architectural profession. He
then presented drawings to show the structure as it was originally approved.
He pointed to the southeast corner calling attention to the slanted roof
that covered the first story that was objectional to Mr. Lamson, after it
had been constructed. Mr. Jenner advised that the dwelling was constructed
as originally designed and approved.-- When Mr. Lamson saw the slanting
roof in place and realized that no southeast light entered the second
story, he had the roof taken off. Following that, the second story and
third story were designed and built. He showed drawings to reflect this,
adding that this design is in place at this time. Mr. Jenner stated that
his client was in agreement with removing the third story but is asking
that the second story remain with a roof design to match that on the north-
east corner. He then called attention to the supporting columns that had
been added under the cantilevered portion of the second story that had
been objectionable to the Commission.
Mr. Jenner then reviewed the calculations of floor area ratio and pointed
out that under the Town's Code, only that portion of the property west of
the Coastal Construction Control Line can be used for the calculation
whereas other codes permit the use of the entire lot measurements for
calculations. He also noted that any lot in Gulf Stream that does not
front the ocean may also use the entire lot measurements for FAR calculations.
Mr. Jenner advised that if the calculations were based on the entire lot,
the second floor addition would exceed the maximum of .33 allowable by
only .0121.
Mr. Jenner believes that Mr. Lamson does have a hardship for the following
reasons: 1) The contractors did not obtain permits prior to construction
of the second and third floors. 2) He is not permitted, by ordinance, to
use his entire lot for calculating the FAR. 3) All of the surrounding
structures are very large, thus this structure would be more in keeping
with the area. 4) He would be denied light from the southeast if he is
forced to construct the slanted roof as was originally designed and approved.
Commissioner Wallace stated that she appreciated Mr. Jenner's presentation
but believed the variance request should be denied as recommended by the
Town Manager and the ARPB due to no hardship being proven. Commissioner
Cross took issue with Mr. Lamson not being held responsible for the action
of his contractors, adding that the law is quite clear in that Mr. Lamson
is responsible for the action of his employees.
Regular Meeting and Public Hearing page 3
Town Commission -July 13, 1992
Commissioner Wallace moved to deny the variance request, seconded by
Commissioner True., Mr. Jenner stated that he had two alternate designs
that he would like to present at this meeting. Attorney Randolph advised
that if the Commission wanted to consider the alternate designs, they could
do so at this meeting but if they did not choose to do so, they do not have
to. He added that if they were to consider them, they should do so before
taking a vote as once that is done, further consideration would need to be
in the form of a new application. Dr. True believed that any alternate
designs should be reviewed by the ARPB prior to Commission consideration.
The Commission agreed to look at the alternatives.
Mr. Jenner presented Alternate #1 which showed the removal of the third
story and the east wall of the second story moved westward to create
an open balcony to match that on the northeast corner. He advised that
with these changes, the structure would still exceed the FAR maximum.
The Commission expressed little interest in Alternate #1.
Mr. Jenner presented Alternate #2 which would not increase the FAR above
that which was originally approved. The Alternate #2 design showed the
third floor removed and second floor removed leaving a flat deck over the
first story in place of the slanted roof, and with the sliding glass doors
that were in the wall of the second story, moved back into the wall of
the approved second story. Mr. Jenner explained that this would permit
light to enter the second story.
Attorney Randolph advised that if Alternate #2 requires no variances, then
it should be considered under Item VIII. Site Plan Review and the motion
on the table would need to be concluded before moving to Item VIII. There
was no further discussion regarding the motion to deny the variance that
had been requested. ROLL CALL: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm.
True; AYE, and Vice Mayor Armour; AYE.
VIII. Site Plan Review
A. Everett H. Jenner, Agent for William Lanson, 5565 N.E. 29th Ave.
Ft. Lauderdale, F1. 33308- Addition on the southeast corner
of the east elevation of the dwelling under construction at
3777 N. Ocean Blvd., Gulf Stream, F1. 33483.
Vice Mayor Armour opened the floor to discussion regarding Alternate #2
changing the southeast corner of the dwelling under construction, which
had been previously presented by Mr. Jenner.
Commissioner Wallace reminded Mr. Jenner that the Commission had granted
a number of changes to the structure at previous meetings and wanted that
fact to be a part of the record of this meeting. Mr. Jenner replied that
he and Mr. Lamson did appreciate this. Commissioner Wallace then moved
that the site plan revision as shown on Alternate #2 with the open deck
over the first floor replacing the original slanted roof be approved
provided no variances are required and that the design meets all of the
provisions of the Town's Ordinances, with all Town procedures to be followed.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Cross. There was no further discus-
sion. ROLL CALL: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. True; AYE,
and Vice Mayor Armour; AYE.
Vice Mayor Armour returned the gavel to Mayor Koch.

Town Commission -July 13, 1992
IX. Reports
A. Town Manager
1. Bi- monthly Water Use
Town Manager Harrington presented the report which revealed there was a
very slight increase in usage for the non - single family classification and
a small decrease in usage for the single family classification. He advised
Cthat the master meter from Delray Beach was still not functioning and it
is not possible to compute the system loss at this time.
B. Town Attorney
Attorney Randolph had no report.
C. Finance Director
1. Financial Report for June, 1992
Finance Director Gwynn presented the report, noting that all of the tax
proceeds have been received and that he is projecting a surplus at the end
of the fiscal year. Commission True suggested that the format of the
financial report be changed and questioned the necessity of listing the
checks that were written. Commissioner Armour favored having the checks
listed as is being done. Mayor Koch suggested that the matter of changing
the financial report be considered during budget sessions. Mr. Gwynn
advised the report can be changed but he would prefer to do so at the
beginning of the new fiscal year. Commissioner Armour moved and Commissioner
Wallace seconded that the financial report be approved as circulated. ROLL
CALL: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. True;
AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
D. Architectural Review and Planning Board
Chairman Joan Orthwein advised there is no further report from the Board.
E. Police Chief
1. Police Activity in June,1992
Chief Schultz presented his report as distributed and added that he was
pleased to report that he had promoted Edward Allen to Sergeant.
F. North Ocean Blvd. Landscape Advisory Committee ( NOBLAC)
Jean Breazeale, Chairman of NOBLAC, reported that the full committee had
had only one meeting due to many being away. She further advised that Mr.
Carr had resigned at that meeting and requested that the Commission make
an appointment to fill the vacancy. Mrs. Breazeale further reported that
she and Mary Windel had been meeting as the finance committee of NOBLAC
in order to prepare the financial recommendations that were detailed on
the memo circulated to the Commissioners at the beginning of the meeting.
Mrs. Breazeale stated that NOBLAC is just beginning to function but at
this point, they are recommending that permission be sought to replant
Australian Pines along the AlA Corridor and that any involvement of a
C landscape architect be delayed. She believed it would take a special act
of the legislature to permit the planting of Australian Pines and that
procedure would take an estimated time of 2 years. In the interim, NOBLAC
is recommending that the Town allocate $25,000 in the budget to cover
the cost of contracting a consulting arborist to do a Tree Hazard Survey
and prepare bidding specifications for pruning the existing trees which
is needed to extend the life of the trees. The cost of the arborist was
estimated to be $1,500 to $3,000. They further recommended that the Pines
between Banyan and Golfview be done as soon as DOT has finished their
pruning and the cost is estimated to be $20,000 for this work. The third
recommendation was to set up a Town Tree Fund and solicit tax - deductible
donations from the community for maintenance of the remaining pines and to
purchase new trees for the corridor over the next 10 years. Mrs. Breazeale
advised NOBLAC is investigating this along with obtaining matching grant
funds and she would be reporting back to the Commission regarding this.

X. Items for Commission Action
A. Resolution #92 -3 Supporting a State Constitutional Amendment
which provides for voter control of city taxes.
Town Manager Harrington advised that this is the Resolution that the Commis-
sion had directed be prepared. Commissioner True questioned if the
statements and claims made in the Resolution were factual and where the
language originated from. The Clerk advised that the language is provided
by those promoting the legislation or cause. Commissioner Armour moved
to adopt Resolution #92 -3, seconded by Commissioner Wallace, following the
reading of the ordinance by title. ROLL CALL: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm.
Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. True; NAY, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
B. Revised Retirement Plan To be Effective July 13, 1992
Town Manager Harrington explained that due to changes made by the IRS,
ICMA had revised the existing retirement plan to conform. He stated that it
was not necessary to readopt the plan for these changes but that he is
recommending two additional changes which are to establish a 6 month waiting
period before new employees are eligible to enter the plan and to change
the eligibility requirements from "All Employees" to "All Full -Time Employees"
and "All Salaried Employees ". Commissioner Armour moved and Commissioner
Wallace seconded that the revised retirement plan be adopted subject to the
review and approval of Attorney Randolph. ROLL CALL: Comm. Wallace; AYE,
Comm. Cross; AYE; Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. True; AYE; and Mayor Koch; AYE.
C. Appointment of Alternate Member for Architectural Review and
Planning Board.
The Town Manager reminded that at the June meeting there were four names
presented for consideration to fill two vacancies on the ARPB and that Mrs.
Hvide had submitted a letter of interest and was present at the meeting.
He further reminded that the Commission had appointed Mrs. Hvide for one
of the vacancies and had directed that letters of interest be obtained from
others for consideration at this meeting. He advised that he had contacted
Mr. Duryea, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Dittman for these. Mr. Harrington stated
that Mr. Dittman was out of town and unable to submit a letter but that
there are letters from Mr. Duryea and Mr. Hopkins in the agenda packet.
Commissioner Wallace moved that Mr. R.W. Hopkins be appointed to serve as
and Alternate Member of the Architectural and Planning Board, seconded by
Commissioner Armour. ROLL CALL: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE,
Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
D. Fire and EMS Service Contracts
Town Manager Harrington reminded that the fire contract with the Town of
Ocean Ridge and the EMS contract with Bethesda Ambulance will expire Sept.
30, 1992 and advised that he has been negotiatiTg with Ocean Ridge, Bethesda
and th'e City of Delray Beach regarding a new contract. He advised that
Ocean Ridge had proposed a 5 year contract with a first year figure of
$80,000 and escalating at 8% per year thru the 1995 -1996 fiscal year and
at the CPI from that point on. This would be for fire protection only and
the proposal had not yet had the approval of the Ocean Ridge Town Commission.
Regular Meeting and Public Hearing page 6
Town Commission -July 13, 1992
Mr. Harrington stated that the Town had received two proposals from
Bethesda Ambulance, one for a continuation of the two man service for EMS
as now exists and an alternate proposal for a 1 man operation which would
be approximately one half the cost or $15,210.10. He added that it seemed
that Briny Breezes and Ocean Ridge were leaning toward the 1 man operation.
The third proposal Mr. Harrington presented was from the City of Delray
Beach to provide both fire protection and EMS services thru a 10 year
contract at $103,403 for the first year with future escalation to be
based on the annual CPI. Mr. Harrington advised that this proposal has
been approved by the City of Delray Commission in the form of an Inter -local
Agreement.
Mr. Harrington detailed the three options in his memo dated July 9, 1992
and recommended that the Town of Gulf Stream enter into the Inter -local
Agreement with the City of Delray Beach for the following reasons:
1) With the options involving Bethesda Ambulance, the cost figures are
dependent on all three communities participating. Should any one drop out,
the cost to the remaining parties would greatly increase. The Bethesda
cost is also dependent on the number of transports. 2) The Ocean Ridge
and the Bethesda Contracts are for only 5 years as opposed to 10 years on
the Delray Beach Contract. 3) The Town of Gulf Stream currently has a
dispatching contract with the City of Delray Beach with all 911 calls being
received there. Currently the fire and EMS calls must be transferred to
Ocean Ridge. Contracting fire and EMS from Delray would eliminate any need
for transferring any calls.
COmm� armnur moved and Commissioner Wallace seconded that the Town of Gulf
Stream enter into the Inter -local Agreement with the City of Delray Beach
for firefighting and EMS services as presented at a cost for t'_ie first year
of $103,403 beginning October 1, 1992. ROLL CALL: Corsi. ';allace; AYE,

XI. Correspondence
A. Resolution 74 -92 endorsing the candiJacy of the Honorable
Clarence E. Anthony, Mayor of South Bay for the Office of Second
Vice President of the Florida League of Cities -City of South Bay
The Town Clerk read the Resolution by title and advised that the City of
South Bay is requesting that the Town of Gulf Stream also support Mayor
Anthony. Town Manager Harrington advised he personally was acquainted with
Mayor Anthony and believes he would be an excellent choice to represent
the municipalities on the state level. Town Clerk Taylor advised she has
prepared a similar resolution in the event the Commission desired to support
Mayor Anthony, and that it would bear Resolution #92 -4. The Clerk was
directed to read Resolution #92 -4 by title. Following the reading, Commis-
sioner Wallace moved and Commissioner Cross seconded that Resolution #92 -4
be adopted. ROLL CALL: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. True;
AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.

XII. BUDGET PRESENTATION (1992 -1993)
A. Budget Consideration
Commissioner Armour advised that he had looked into the possibilty of
refinancing the Town's Bond Issue in light of the current interest rates.
He had determined that it is not feasible due to the high costs involved
with buying back the bonds and making a new issue.
Town Manager Harrington advised that the format of the budget has been
changed slightly, one change being to show all of current and past surplus
funds. He called attention to the catagory of "Fund Balance" and explained
each item thereunder. He added that no new expenditures are provided for.
Mr. Harrington stated that with the expiration of the fire contract with
Ocean Ridge, there will be a balance due them following an audit at the
close' of fiscal year 1991 -1992 in the estimated amount of $62,000, and
that he has provided for this out of surplus funds.
Finance Director Gwynn then went through the budget line by line and
answered all questions from the Commissioners. He closed his presentation
by pointing out that the Rolled Back Millage Rate is 3.3045 mills for
the operating fund and the current budget proposes a millage rate of 3.2655.
The proposed rate for the debt service was announced at .8058 mills.
Mr. Harrington then reviewed the matter of salaries. He advised that there
will be an increase in the health insurance premium estimated to be 15 %.
He stated that he is asking for an increase of approximately 5.8% in the
total salary and fringe benefit package which would cover merit increases
for the police officers, the Town Clerk, the Maintenance personnel,
and for the Chief of the Police Dept. Mr. Harrington stated he had not
included any increase for himself as that would be a matter for the Commis-
sion to decide. The Commissioners felt the 5.8% to cover the increases
and still cover the fringe benefits as well was justified. Mayor Koch
stated he would favor a 10% increase for the Town Manager's salary,not to
include the fringe benefits. The other Commissioners agreed with this
and instructed the Manager to make the necessary adjustments in the budget.
Regular Meeting and Public Hearing
Town Commission -July 13, 1992
page 8
Commissioner Wallace questioned where funds would be provided for the
NOBLAC recommendations. Town Manager Harrington called attention to the
$20,245 in the undesignated fund balance and suggested that all or a part
thereof could be used for this purpose. Commissioner Wallace pointed out
that the recommendation was for $25,000 and she favored budgeting that
sum. Mayor Koch reminded that there are additional budget sessions in
CSeptember at which time there will be a more clear picture of the actual
% surplus funds and that perhaps supplemental funding could found at that
time or even later in the year as it becomes needed. The Mayor believed
it would be some time before any funds would be needed in that the DOT
has yet to provide the right -of -way maps to prove their right -of -way.
Town Manager Harrington expressed his appreciation to the Commission
for their generosity in granting his salary increase and then requested
a motion to allocate the $139,245 in surplus funds.
Commissioner Wallace moved that $62,000 be allocated to cover the balance
due to Ocean Ridge for the existing fire contract, that $17,000 be allocated
in a reserve for capital improvements with interest earned to remain in the
general fund, that $20,245 be allocated for the arborist and the pruning
of the Pine trees along AlA, and $40,000 placed in the general fund
operating budget for the fiscal year 1992 -1993. The motion was seconded
by Commissioner True. ROLL CALL: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE,
Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
B. Proposed Millage Rate for 1992 -1993
Commissioner Armour moved that the proposed millage rate for operating fund
for 1992 -1993 be set at 3.2655 mills. The motion was seconded by Commissioner
True. ROLL CALL: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE,
Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
Commissioner True moved that the proposed millage rate for the debt service
for 1992 -1993 be established at .8058 mills, seconded by Commissioner
Armour. ROLL CALL: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE,
Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
C. Certification of Rolled Back Rate
Commissioner Wallace moved that the Rolled Back Rate be certified at 3.3045
mills, seconded by Commissioner Armour. ROLL CALL: Comm. Wallace; AYE,
Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
D. Date of First Public Hearing for Budget Adoption
The Town Clerk reminded that two public hearings for the budget must be
held in September after 5 P.M. She further reminded that zoning ordinances
that are pending also require two public hearings to be held after 5 P.M.
C She suggested that the budget and the zoning ordinances be considered at
the same public hearings and that perhaps the Commissioners would want to
hold the regular September meeting at 4 P.M. ahead of the first public
hearing. Commissioner Armour moved that the regular commission meeting for
September be held at 4 P.M. on Monday, September 14, 1992, that the first
public hearing for the budget and zoning ordinance adoption be held at 5:01
P.M. on Monday, September 14, 1992, and that the second public hearing for
the budget adoption and zoning ordinance adoption be held at 5:01 P.M. on
Monday, September 28, 1992. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Wallace.
