VII. Reports.
A. Town Manager
1. Update on Bor.delman Property Maintenance.
Regular Meeting -Town Commission
October 18, 1993 page 2
Town Manager Harrington reported that he had contacted a number of lawn
maintenance services and requested quotations for cleaning up the Bordeman
property. He further reported that 4 of them had been interested in the
job and were to submit their prices no later than this date, October 18,
1993. He expected this to cost over $500.00 for the one time cleanup
and felt that this property maintenance would continue to be a problem
until such time as Mrs. Bordeman accepted assistance with managing her
affairs. Commissioner Armour stated that he would be contacting Mrs.
Bordeman as soon as Mr. Harrington has the quotations, in an effort to
assist her in analyzing her financial position and finding a solution to
the problems. He further stated that some of her husbands friends are
willing to help with this one time cleanup, but could not be expected
to continue to maintain her property. Commissioner Armour then asked
under what law the Town would be entering the property and performing the
work. Both Attorney Randolph and Mr. Harrington agreed that this will be
accomplished under the nuisance section with the charges to be billed to
Mrs. Bordeman, followed by the opportunity to lien the property if the
bill is not paid. Mr. Harrington stated pictures would be taken of the
property to document the condition prior to any work being started.
Mr. Charles Russell, President of the Place Au Soleil Homeowners Assoc.
believed that continuing maintenance should be arranged at this time rather
than a one time cleanup. Attorney Randolph explained that this would not
be legally possible since notice must be provided each time the nuisance
violation occurs.
2. Annexation Update.
Town Manager Harrington reminded that it had been determined at one of
the meetings in the late spring that no further consideration would be
given to any annexations of property adjacent to the.horth:'until such time
as residents had returned for the season. He reported that there had
been some changes in the annexation laws during the last legislative
session and as a result some changes would be needed in the report he
had prepared for the Commission earlier in the year. Mr. Harrington
stated that the law now provides that certin parcels: of 10 acres or less may
be annexed without the permission of property owners. He requested
direction from the Commission as to when they would want to consider
any annexation, if at all. Town Manager Harrington believed that certain
of the owners in the area seeking annexation would be asking in the very
near future for Gulf Stream to accept an application for annexation
from them and he requested direction as to what to tell them.
Commissioner Armour enumerated the pros and cons of annexing properties
to the north of Gulf Stream as follows: Pro- 1)Income thru taxes would
�\ increase slightly. 2)Annexing could be phased over a long period of time.
3)Gulf Stream would have control over the area on the north boundry.
Con -1)The ratio of single family to multi - family occupancy would change
causing there to be more multi - family than single family.2)There could more
administrative work.3)Undesireable developement could occur if under
control of another governmental entity. Commissioner Armour believed
the Town should proceed if it is determined to be a viable asset to Gulf
Stream. He did express concern at the possibility of the balance of
single family and multi - family changing.
Commissioner Wallace wanted to be certain the image of Gulf Stream was
not changed by any annexation and she believed the density for any
annexation area should not be greater than that provided in the current
code.
Regular Meeting -Town Commission
October 18, 1993 page 3
Mr. John Breazeale questioned what the population is in the unincorporated
pocket and was advised it was approximately 80 persons.
Commissioner True and Commissioner Cross believed there were still too
many unknowns to draw a conclusion or to properly inform the public. Com-
missioner Armour questioned if it would be worth taking them in with all
Cthat is involved along with all the unknowns.
Town Manager Harrington advised that under the current county zoning for
that area, it would be possible to build from 8 to 12 units per acre but
that it is unclear as to what the maximum height could be.
The Town Commission directed that a Workshop Meeting be scheduled for
January 20, 1994 at 4 P.M. with the agenda to cover only the matter of
annexation. The Commission further directed the Town Manager to obtain
any information that would be valuable in accurately determining the pros
and cons of the proposed annexation and to meet with county staff to
discuss the possibilities of a phased annexation with the county's co-
operation and assistance. Commissioner Wallace then moved that no ap-
plication for annexation of any parcel north of Sea Road along State Road
AlA be accepted prior to the Public Hearing on January 20, 1994 being held.
The motion was seconded by Commissioner Cross. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace;
AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Commissioner True; AYE, and
Mayor Koch; AYE.
B. Town Attorney.
There was no report from the Town Attorney
C. Finance Director
1. Financial Report for September, 1993.
Finance Director William Gwynn presented the report, calling attention to
the fact that it now appears there will be a $117,000 surplus, of which
more than $80,000 is budgeted or reserved for expenses in the 1993 -1994
fiscal year. Commissioner Armour moved and Commissioner True seconded
that the report be approved as presented. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE,
Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
D. Architectural Review and Planning Board.
1. Meeting Dates.
a. No October Meeting.
b. November Meeting, November 16, 1993 at 9 A.M.
Chairman Joan Orthwein announced the above information regarding the ARPB.
E. Police Report for September, 1993.
Town Manager Harrington presented the police report in the absence of.Chief
Schultz, specifically pointing out that all officers had received
�chemical defense weapon training via video from LETN, that 5 semi -auto
1 9 mm pistols had been purchased to replace some of the departments revolvers
which were traded -in, and that four recent theft cases (purses stolen
from unlocked vehicles) had been exceptionally cleared thru investigation.
F. Construction in Progress in September, 1993.
The report revealed there to be $6,660,108 worth of construction in
progress during the month of September.
G. Gulf Stream Historic Highway Committee.
Jean Breazeale, Chairman of the Committee, reported that she had been
advised it would be necessary to have a proposed bill submitted to the
Palm Beach Legislative Delegation to permit Gulf Stream to replant
Australian Pine Trees along AlA no later than October 22, 1993 in order
for it to be considered by the Legislature in the next session. She asked
if the Commission still wanted to move in this direction. The members
Regular Meeting -Town Commission
October 18, 1993
page 4
of the Commission stated they were anxious to move in this direction. Mrs.
Breazeale said there were four things which need to be acomplished by
her committee and the Town Commission. They are as follows: 1) Prepare
a bill to submit to the Palm Beach County Legislative Delegation. 2)
Have Mr. Hoyt start immediately on the hazardous tree survey. 3) Write
a report which would cover the material Mr. Hoyt will prepare as a result
of his analysis as well as a summary of many reports from other countries
Con the value and strength of the Australian Pine Tree for presentation
to the Legislative Delegation along with the proposed bill. 4) Make the
presentation to the Legislative Delegation on November 18, 1993.
Mayor Koch and the other members of the Commission complimented Mrs.
Breazeale on the work that she and her committee had done to bring the
project to this point.
VIII. Items for Commission Action.
A. Contract with County Sanitation (Garbage, Recyclables, Trash).
Town Manager Harrington advised that the current contract had one more
year before expiration but that County Sanitation had offered their
service for 1993 -1994 at no increase over this year if the contract were
to be renewed at this time. Mr. Harrington added that this would be a
savings of 3% on the cost of the service for the coming year. He further
reported that the services would remain the same as they currently are
with the town paying for garbage and recycling collection from the tax
revenues and with the property owner being billed directly by County
Sanitation for any other materials collected by them. Mr. Harrington
pointed out that the new contract provides that the extra material that will
bed.: collected in the recycling program (to be implemented in the near
future by the Solid Waste Authority) will be handled at no extra charge
to the Town and that a paragraph has been inserted in the contract to
provide that in the event there are any annexations, the increase in fee
to cover the area will be computed on a containerized rate which is much
less than the existing per unit rate that covers the back door pick -up
service. Commissioner Armour moved that the contract with County Sanitation
be approved as presented and that the Mayor and Town Clerk be authorized
to execute same. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Wallace. Roll
Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. True;
AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
B. Resolution #93 -11; Supporting Palm Beach County Efforts in
Cleaning Up The Water Body Located Within Palm Beach County
Known As The Lake Worth Lagoon.
Commissioner Armour moved and Commissioner Cross seconded that Resolution
#93 -11 be adopted. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm.
Armour; AYE, Comm. True; AYE; and Mayor Koch; AYE.
C. Items by Commissioners.
Commissioner Armour, noting that the recent change in State Law to permit
involuntary annexation of parcels of 10 acres or less, moved that the
Town Manager be directed to move forward with the annexation of the F.I.N.D.
parcel of land adjacent to Place Au Soleil on the north. The motion was
seconded by Commissioner Cross. Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm.
Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm. True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.
