WORKSHOP MEETING - MINUTES
APRIL 15, 1987 9:30 A.M.
The Workshop Meeting of the Code Enforcement Board, Town of Highland
Beach, Florida, was called to order in the Town Commission Chambers at
Town Hall at 9:30 A.M. by Acting Chairman Novak.
The Recording Secretary called the roll. Present were Messrs. A. Novak,
T. Boepple, E. Pearlstein, J. Sieff, E. Snyder, J. Boulay and W. Paul.
Also present were Code Enforcement Officer A. Abbate, Town Manager H.
Williams, Town Attorney Steven Abrams, Recording Secretary A. Kowals and
members of the general public.
The Recording Secretary read the February 18, 1987 Code Enforcement
Board Workshop Meeting Minutes. Approval of these Minutes was deferred
to the Regular Meeting.
Acting Chairman Novak welcomed William E. Paul who was appointed by the
Town Commission to serve as a Regular Member on the Code Enforcement
Board. The first order of business, said Acting Chairman Novak, would
be the election of a Chairman.
Dr. Sieff nominated Bill Paul Chairman of the Code Enforcement Board.
Mr. Boepple seconded the nomination and added Mr. Paul is a former Town
Commissioner who served several years on the Code Enforcement Board.
All members were in favor of the nomination; Mr. Paul was unopposed.
Acting Chairman Novak requested the newly elected Chairman take his
appropriate chair and conduct the remainder of the Workshop Meeting.
When Chairman Paul questioned the need to elect a member as Secretary of
the Board (per the by-laws), members said that matter was discussed at
previous meetings and it was unanimously decided that was unnecessary.
Chairman Paul stated that at the Regular Meeting, the agenda drawn for
the March 18th meeting will be followed and the Citations listed under
New Business will again be postponed due to lack of adequate notice to
the three violators who are being represented by the same attorney.
Vice Chairman Novak said it was his understanding there was a fourth
citation regarding an illegal structure on the roof of the Regency
Highland.
Town Attorney Abrams advised the Board that Attorney Marchbanks who is
representing the violators is aware of this meeting; however, he was
just notified of the hearing yesterday and had a conflict with the
• hearing this morning.
When Mr. Snyder questioned if the Chairman would want to call a Special
Meeting or wait until the next Regular Meeting in May, Chairman Paul
said he would wait until the May Meeting as this situation has existed
since 1974. Chairman Paul asked what the consensus of the Board would

be regarding a delay of another month with adequate notice (at least a
two week period of notice is necessary).
Dr. Sieff stated his feelings were that the Board can wait an additional
two weeks to handle these issues at the next Regular Meeting.
When Town Manager Williams suggested the Board ask the Town Attorney
what the proper time -frame for notification would be, Town Attorney
Abrams said he is not sure there is a standard and he would like to look
into the matter to see if there is anything in the Code that prescribes
an exact time.
Chairman Paul suggested adjourning this Workshop Meeting and beginning
the Regular Meeting so that what the Board decides would be official.
Members agreed and the Workshop Meeting was adjourned at 10:05 A.M.
