Breazeale had prepared a report which was presented to the Legislative
Delegation along with the Town's request for Delegation support of a
Gulf Stream Local Bill which would permit the planting of Australian
pine trees along State Road AlA in Gulf Stream. Mr. Harrington stated that
the report contained an excellent summary of data collected from around
the world on the merits of the trees that have been so maligned in Florida.
He publicly commended Mrs. Breazealb s'- preparation of the document and in
her presentation of it to the legislators. Mr. Harrington advised that
Regular Meeting -Town Commission page 2
December 10, 1993
the report was well received and that 10 of the 12 (one of whom was absent)
members of the Delegation voted to lend their support to the local bill
in the next legislative session. Mr. Harrington further reported that a
sponsor for the bill in the Senate has been obtained but that House sponsor
is still being sought. Mayor Koch, who also appeared before the Delegation
Cin support of the proposed bill, concurred with Mr. Harrington.and added
) that he wanted to commend Mr. Harrington for his part in helping to prepare
the report and bring the matter to the legislators.
Mr. Charles Russell, speaking from the audiance, stated that he had doubts
that the majority of the residents in Gulf Stream wanted the Australian
pines along AlA. The Commission advised that there had been a gigantic
number of residents who had appeared before the Commission protesting
the removal of the trees by the Department of Transportation and that
a large number of residents had signed petitions in protest of the removal
of them.
B. Town Attorney
The Town Attorney had no report but the Commission directed that he and
Mr. Harrington move forward with the annexation of the F.I.N.D property
on the north side of Place Au Soleil.
C. Finance Director
1. Financial Report for November, 1993.
In the absence of the Finance Director, Mr. Harrington reviewed the report.
Mr. Harrington pointed out that the check for tax revenue from the Tax
Collector that had been expected in the month of November did not arrive
until December 1, 1993 and therefore was not reflected in this report.
Commissioner True called attention to the memo he had distributed to the
Commission requesting that certain changes be made in the format of the
reports, one of which would be to have the same format used in the Monthly
Budget Projections and the Monthly Financial Statement, with each line
item to follow that of the adopted budget.
Commissioner Armour moved and Commissioner Wallace seconded that the
Financial Report for November, 1993 be approved as circulated and presented.
Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm.
True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE.

C 2. December Meeting to be held December 29, 1993 at 9:00 A.M.

F. Construction in Progress in November, 1993
The report revealed there to be $7,628,971 worth of construction in
progress during the month of November, 1993. Commissioner Armour questioned
if there is any type of legislation that could be adopted which would
assure a timely completion of construction projects. Attorney Randolph
advised that this is difficult unless the Commission is willing undertake
/ the task of completing projects that would fall into violation of any
1 such legislation. The Commission did not indicate a willingness to do
this but did ask Attorney Randolph and Town Manager Harrington to investigate
the matter further.
VIII. Items for Commission Action.
A. Resolution #93 -14 opposing legislation which would invalidate
recent legislation that provides a mechanism to expedite the
annexation of enclaves.
The Resolution was read by title by the Town Clerk. It was explained by
Mr. Harrington that legislation had been adopted at the 1993 session which
made possible the annexation of property of less than 10 acres total which
was totally surrounded by a municipality without the vote of any of the
property owners. He went on to advise that at the special session of
the legislature that was held in the summer, there was a movement to
repeal this and the Florida Municipal League and the Palm Beach County
Municipal League are asking for support in opposing any change in the
current law. Mayor Koch did not believe there should be any annexations
unless the majority of the property owners agreed. Mr. Harrington advised
that there are several articles in the December issue of the League
magazine which discusses the pros and cons of this matter and suggested
that perhaps the members of the Commission would want to review these
before taking any action. Commissioner Wallace moved and Commissioner Cross
seconded that Resolution #91 -14 be tabled until the next regular meeting.
Roll Call: Comm. Wallace; AYE, Comm. Cross; AYE, Comm. Armour; AYE, Comm.
True; AYE, and Mayor Koch; AYE,
IX. Correspondence.

Congress pass legislation to end the practice of unfunded
mandates, and to include in future mandate provisions requiring

slide presentation and a
id been directed by the Palm
intended to identify alternative
future development patterns for the county. These alternatives will then
be presented to the South County Planning Forum which will consist of
government, business and civic leaders from southern Palm Beach County
and northern Broward County. The alternative scenarios that were presented
are as follows: 1) Urban sprawl which is the type of development that is
presently occurring. 2) Major centers which would be developments that
are designed with housing, business and industry all in a given area so
that persons would live and work in the same neighborhood. 3) Mass
transportation design that would make it possible for a person to live
in one area and work in another area and yet not have to depend on an
automobile for transportation such as in the case of urban sprawl. Mr.
Harrington explained that in the future, the Commission would most likely
be asked to designate one of the members to serve on the South County
Planning Forum and at that time the representative should be given some
direction as to which of the alternatives that were explained in the
presentation were thought to be the best for Palm Beach County.
Mr. Perry O'Neal was recongnized and thanked Commissioner Wallace for
the recent newsletter she had mailed to the residents. Commissioner
Armour also commended Commissioner Wallace for the letter and suggested
that perhaps the Town should periodically authorize something similar.
Mrs. Wallace stated that this was an excellent suggestion and that she
would be happy to help if Mr. Harrington is pressed for time by adding
this to his present duties. Members of the Commission agreed that news-
letters would be sent in the future, but not on a regular schedule, as
directed by the Commission.
XI. Adjournment.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 by Vice Mayor Armour in the absence
of Mayor Koch,who had left the meeting 10 minutes prior to adjournment,
on a motion to do so made by Commissioner Wallace which was seconded by
Commissioner Cross with all voting in the affirmative.
