SUN-SENTINEL Sunday, June 3, 1979 Section lb. IRalinni Talk With Reporter Cost Betray Cop A Reprimand duty. But that happened for an incident before the publication of the Scadlock article on Friday, Kilgore said yesterday; he denied the persistent talk from police personnel that they were being punished for reading the aricle about Scadlock while on duty. "Two or three other violations were involved," Kilgore said. Mylott had also been involved in the incident with the hostile crowd that cost Scadlock his job in the detective division.

Mylott and Ms. Herron could not be reached for comment. punishment. The move cost him $60 a month in pay. The punishment, he thought, was for writing a report about the dispersement of a hostile crowd, since his report differed from reports written by two other, officers at the scene.

Kilgore denied the transfer had anything to do with that incident According to Kilgore, Scadlock was transfen ed from the detective division because he couldn't get along with others in that office. Reading newspapers cost two other police officers each a day's suspension without pay. Officers Geraldine Herron and Robert Mylott were reprimanded for reading a newspaper while being on procedures. If he had a complaint, he should follow the procedures to air his complaint," Kilgore said. "I don't intend to have the department's problems solved in the newspapers," Kilgore said.

"I talked to him personally and placed written reprimands in his folder here and at city hall." Scadlock admitted yesterday that he had been reprimanded but refused to make any comments yesterday about the incident. Scadlock had said in Friday's Sun-Sentinel that he thought he was transferred into a lower-paying job from crime scene, investigator to patrolman as By Pete Gordon Staff Writer Reading newspapers or talking to news reporters can take money out of the pocket for Dclray Beach police officers. Talking to a Sun-Sentinel reporter about his problems at work brought a written reprimand Friday to Patrolman Sam Scadlock. "He violated departmental rules and regulations," Police Chief Charles Kilgore said. "There is no rule against talking to newspaper reporters.

But he violated the rules of departmental Rooftop View Leads Board To Rehearing By Ken Kaye Slulf Writer DELRAY BEACH Herbert Bernenko, one of the founders of the city Community Appearance Board, has" charged the board Improperly heard a request for an air-conditioning permit. Bernenko, who subscribes to the little-known philosophy that it is ugliness, not beauty, that is in the eye of the beholder, has something personal at stake with his charge the view of the roof of Hamilton House from sixth-floor condominium next door at Banyan House on State Road A1A. Bernenko, who helped found the CAB in 1974. charged the board did not place any restrictions on a permit issued to Hamilton House condominiums to put in an air-condition-ing system. As a result, Bernenko said the roof of Hamilton House will have "ugly" air-conditioning units, visible as far away as the beach.

"I have the joy of looking out on this every morning and closing my blinds so I don't see it." he said with a weary chuckle. Hamilton House previously had several free-standing air-conditioning units on its roof to provide, water-cooled air conditioning. It converted to a single, large unit on the roof, much to Bernenko's Joy at the time. But the boise It made was unbearable to residents living near the penthouse floor, according to one of Hamilton House's owners. The CAB gave Hamilton House permission to dismantle the single-unit and reinstall the free-standing units.

The single unit was dismantled this week. But when the board granted that permission May 9, it did so without requiring the equipment to be screened and with little concern for aesthetics, Bernenko charged at a City Council meeting this week. "The legal situation is they've been given approval with no conditions at all," Bernenko complained. The council agreed. Vice Mayor James Scheifley said the board had inadequate information to make a decision and the board's minutes on the- matter were garbled.

A permit for Hamilton House was held up by the administration and the council ordered the CAB to rehear the case. It also suggested a solution be sought by Hamilton House outside of official action. Roy Simon, an architect who sits on the CAB, said, "It was the board's understanding initially this was more of a maintenance, or replacing of old equipment. It was found it probably was not the case and we decided to rehear it." Meanwhile, the people at Hamilton House don't understand why Bernenko Is up in arms. Emil Dletz, one of 24 condominium owners there, said Hamilton House management acted In full accordance with the city.

"Maybe he (Bernenko) looks down on our roof what does a roof look like?" he asked. "Hamilton House has been completely repainted. It looks beautiful. I don't know what he's complaining about."

The tenants, mostly white-collar retirees with low pensions, had been told that if Westminister failed, the second mortgage holder had plans to convert the buildings into high-priced condominiums after foreclosure. Trie residents' wouldn't be able to afford the new apartments.

"We were told Friday after a three-hour meeting in Rep. Dan Mica's office that we should make application to the Jacksonville HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) office arid Clyde McHenry a deputy assistant secretary, has already contacted that of- fice td expedite the return of the application," housing Authority vice chairman Michael Brody said. "We have been told that financing for 3,000 units is available and we only want 400 so our chances are good. But we don't expect to see the application processed for at least 60 days." Westminister faces a bankruptcy court hearing on July 11.

The two main mortgage holders are pressing the court for a decision. Brody thinks that under the circumstances of an application "being in the works" it is possible for the court to grant another delay in proceedings. The non-profit Westminister Foundation had been unable to meet payments on $8.3 million in mortgages. The first two mortgage holders, First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Miami, and Irving J. Lewis of Chicago, hold most of that.

Approximately $3 million in bonds is held by the foundation's third mortgage holders, mostly small investors. Under the new application to be submitted by the housing authority, the approximately 400 apartments would receive HUD support under Section 8 regulations In a new "moderate rehabilitation program." This would provide about 20 percent more to the financial support and avoid some of the Inflationary high costs that created financial problems for' Westminister. Westminister also had found Itself In an awkward position when HUD would only subsidize 300 of the apartments, and 100 remained without -government support. Westminister' officials claimed they still allowed the tenants In the unsupported apartments to pay low rents. "Another factor In our favor was the approach of Conifer Development Associates which has developed 11 housing projects in New York state of which 10 are under Section 8," Brody said.

Boca Raton's Airport's future has been complicated by Its unusual status as the only airport in the nation located on a slate university campus. Under the control of the Board of Regents and located on Florida Atlantic University land, the facility has been run by leasee Boca Aviation since last fall, No elected body has any direct Influence over airport operations. Are there alternatives? A county-supervised airport: This choice Is studded with Ifs, the big one being whether the Board of Regents would ever consider any proposal to relinquish its supervision. However Dennis Nlcewander, regents' representative for the airport and FAU assistant vice president of administrative affairs, has acknowledged the university feels the airport Is a yoke around Us neck.

In an era when plane travel has become commonplace, Ironically, communication has remained the main gap In the airport controversy. For Instance, Rose Ann Reese and Anne Coulter, who both live near the airport they've fought to Influence, toured the facility for the first time Friday and came away pleasantly surprised. "We're feeling encouraged," Mrs. Coulter said.

"We think he (Jeter) is doing hit best, We were not sure at first. But he seems sincere." By Diane Hirth Stuff Writer The dilemma reads like a local chapter from the melodramatic "Airport" scenarios: The operator of a small airport tries to upgrade facilities and win communlty'g heart; Residents say planes arc flying dangerously low and making too much noise; City pushes to gain some control over airport growth; Fatal weekend crash stirs up talk about the need for a control tower; Congressman lends an ear and prods a silent bureaucracy; Airport owner acknowledges it would just as soon wash Its hands of the aviation business, And that's Just the beginning of the saga of Boca Raton Weeks of growing controversy have spearheaded new developments, As early 9 July 20 If the Federalization Admli'iilration approve a new noise abatement flight.
