Following a Special Meeting held today, the Workshop Meeting began at
approximately 3:30 P.M. Mayor Gilday, Vice Mayor Joy and Commissioners
Clark and Bauer were present to meet and discuss problems of mutual
interest and concern with Mr. Urbanek. The Town's attorney Tom Sliney
was also in attendance.
Ms. Roberts presented a summary of topics for discussion, see Attach-
ment "A", copies were furnished to the Commissioners and used as a
basis for the meeting.
The Acting Town Manager's letter of June 26 to the Highland Beach Utility
Company concerning the Bond rendered for the Sewer Franchise was dis-
cussed at length. Ms. Roberts read requirements for the bond as stated
in paragraph 8 of the Settlement Agreement of March 14, and June 18,
1973; whereas, Mayor Gilday read excerpts from a copy of the bond. A
discussion as to whether the bond was a performance and/or payment bond
took place. This matter will be subject to the review of councel who
will report his findings to the Commission as to whether or not the
Utility Company is in default an their contract. Mayor Gilday read
into the record the letter of June 27, which was received by the Com-
mission from Mr. Carl Krauss, Secretary of the Bel Lido Property
Owner's Association. Mr. Urbanek was asked if he would consider enter-
ing into a Legal Agreement, as well as giving bond relative to the
Highland Beach Ambassador's proposal re; drainage for the run-off
water from the Ambassadors South Condominium complex. There was no
decision in this discussion, in fact, Mayor Gilday informed Mr. Urbanek
that further discussion and/or disposition of this matter should be
with benefit of a Public Hearing, the attendance of the Utility Company's
Engineers, residents of Bel Lido, Town Counsel and the Commission.
Mr. Urbanek asked why the matter of swap-offs was being brought up and
this matter was discussed at length. Ms. Roberts read into the record
her letter of June 18, which was addressed to the Department of Pollu-
tion Control. A lengthy discussion took place as to the number of
units (buildings) which could have permits issued for connections to
the Interim Treatment Plant and/or the Town's sewer system. Ms. Roberts
advised that a study is being made, and she will forward a recapitu-
lation of data, showing in detail, existing buildings with the number
of units thereof which are now on the system, proposed construction,
location of sites, estimates of completion date and aggregate number
of treated and/or untreated connections. Mr. Urbanek informed the
Commission that if the proposed Delray Sewer System, projected to be
available by 1977, is delayed to the degree that appears likely and
the Town will need additional sewage treatment facilities, his company
would view the matter favorably.
Mr. Urbanek was informed of the proposed plans of Holiday Inn; he gave
no opinion in the matter.

MINUTES: WORKSHOP MEETING OF THE TOWN COMMISSION - JULY 11 1974
In responding to a question raised by Commissioner Clark, it was
Mr. Urbanek's contention that with respect to his buildings meeting
the requirements of the Southern Standard Building Code, the standards
he is expected to meet are those which existed on March 2, 1971, and
not any amendments since that time.
Mayor Gilday expressed the opinion that the only compliance to the
Southern Standard Building Code which was waived, was as to the time
which the project had to be completed; and he felt Mr. Urbanek would
otherwise be required to observe all requirements of the Southern
Standard Building Code as well as any amendments thereto.
With respect to the deficiencies advised in the seawalls which are
being constructed across from Seagate, Mr. Urbanek assured the Town
that he would not accept any shoddy building by the subcontractors.
He urged the Commission to take issue with the subcontractors when
they do not meet the building code requirements, and to inform him
in these matters.
Mayor Gilday advised Mr. Urbanek that Mr.
Urbanek, had not submitted any definitive
and/or consideration relative to the Fran
