SYNOPSIS Discussion was held. Agreement was made for Medics to continue operating under the old contract until such time as new contract is signed and for the City to pay Medics Ambulance Service for October under the terms of the old contract. TABLED. City Manager Kelly said the present agreement with Medics Ambulance to provide service to the City of Tamarac expired on September 30, 1991. He said Mr. Cohen is looking for direction as to how he is to continue billing or not billing the City. He said the present contract has increased from $88,000 to $100,000. He said the County allows for a 4.6% increase, which held the increase to $104,604 for the previous year. He said Broward County granted an increase this year of 6.1%, which is a total of $110,980. City Manager Kelly said some of the options have been discussed with Mr. Cohen which include eliminating the cap, decrease the cost to the City, increasing the cap or hold the cost as is. He said Mr. Cohen is willing to consider the $100,000 hold at present; however, trade-offs need to be made. He said Mr. Cohen has no base for operations within the City and is requesting that a base be established. Malcolm Cohen, President of Medics Ambulance Service, made his presentation to Council. He suggested the $100,000 base be maintained and the cap removed. C/M Katz said Council can assume that there will be an increase of calls of approximately 20% based on the number of elderly in the City. He said the City reached the cap of $145,000 and asked what the approximately dollar amount should be expected in the future. Mr. Cohen said he estimates an increase of approximately 10% this year which is approximately $165,000 and the City would receive 50% of the differential or $10,000. City Council Special Meeting 10/08/91/KJ Page 2 C/M Schumann asked if Medics Ambulance receives a subsidy from Broward County and Mr. Cohen said Medics Ambulance receives $10 per call from Broward County in addition to what the City pays and what is collected from Medicare. C/M Schumann asked if Mr. Cohen would be willing to work with the City in retaining the same base price but eliminating the cap and Mr. Cohen said, yes. C/W Glasser asked if there is anyone that reviews the records of the pickups in Tamarac and Mr. Cohen said Fire Chief Ray Briant has been doing this. C/W Glasser said there have been complaints that some portions of the records are missing. Jill Medlin, Manager of Medics Ambulance, said the records are delivered to the Fire Department by the second week of the following month and the County receives them at this time. C/W Glasser said these records should be reviewed throughout the year and Mr. Cohen said the elimination of the cap is to have no reason for the review. Mayor Abramowitz said Tamarac is mandated by the County to utilize Medics Ambulance Service. He said he understands that every trip run by Medics Ambulance is .on review with Broward County and Mr. Cohen agreed and said that the dollar amount is on a yearly review. Mayor Abramowitz asked what is reported to Broward County and Mr. Cohen said the log includes the total number of responded calls, pickup location, response time, time the call went out, where the patient was delivered and what unit responded to the call. Mayor Abramowitz asked if the financial aspect is totally disregarded in this report to Broward County and Mr. Cohen agreed. Mayor Abramowitz asked if Broward County pays $10 per call, what is received from Medicare is between Medicare and Medics Ambulance and what is received from Tamarac is between Tamarac and Medics Ambulance and Mr. Cohen agreed. Mayor Abramowitz asked if there would be a violation of Taw if Medics Ambulance were to present incorrect reports to Broward County and C/M Schumann said it would be fraud. Mayor Abramowitz said these records are public and can be examined at any time by anyone and Mr. Cohen agreed. Mayor Abramowitz requested that the cap not be eliminated and held as is and Mr. Cohen requested that the $165,000 increase in subsidy be granted. Discussion was held regarding the amount that Broward County pays Medics Ambulance and the records. C/M Schumann asked if the contract with Broward County requires Medics Ambulance to pick up.911 Emergency calls and Mr. Cohen said, yes. He said whether or not there is a contract, Medics Ambulance responds and transports to the hospital without asking for money from the patient at the time. V/M Bender referred to Section 6 of the contract and asked what Medics Ambulance has done in way of maintaining records for the City to have that show whether any extra money was received for pickups because the City is supposed to share in this. Ms. Medlin said the contract addresses an audit but it does not state what type. V/M Bender requested records showing how much money Medics Ambulance receives from other sources. C/W Glasser asked how quickly Medicare pays and Ms. Medlin said Medicare pays from two weeks up to six months after the bill is 1 n City Council Special Meeting 10/08/91/KJ Page 3 submitted. Further discussion was held regarding payments of Medics Ambulance bills from various sources. C/W Glasser requested clarification of the current contract. C/W Glasser asked what happens to the $10 that the County pays Medics Ambulance and Mr. Cohen said that is separate from the Tamarac contract. V/M Bender referred to Section 9 in the contract regarding recordkeeping. He said there should be records that protect the City on reimbursements being received by Medics Ambulance. He said the contract should include services and other information and should be itemized. Mayor Abramowitz OPENED Item 1 to the public for discussion. Dorothy Gersh, resident, questioned a billing she received from Medics Ambulance and Mr. Cohen said he would handle it. City Manager Kelly said when he has received a complaint about a particular billing in response to a 911 Emergency call, Mr. Cohen has handled it appropriately. Mr. Cohen said this contract is for Tamarac residents only, not guests of residents. C/M Katz referred to Page 3, Section 4.a., which states that house guests or employees are obliged by this contract. C/M Schumann said there is a conflict in the contract between Section 1.c. and Section 4.a. regarding'house guests. TAPE 2 Assistant City Manager McDermott said one is the definition and the other is the terms of the contract. Joe Schreiber, resident of Kings Point,' expressed his concerns regarding the regulations of the County to Medics Ambulance and their obligations. Mr. Cohen said Medics transported 2,100 Tamarac residents, but received 4,300 in gross calls. Mayor Abramowitz said Fire Chief Briant reviewed all records from Broward County. Helen Rosen, resident, asked who pays the Tamarac 911 Emergency Call bill if a person is on Medicaid and Mr. Cohen said Medicaid would. Ms. Rosen asked to which hospital location the ambulance would transport the patient and Mr. Cohen said the patient would be transported to the closest medical facility. Sy Bauer, resident, expressed his concerns regarding Broward County's mandatory requirements of ambulance services for the various cities. He agreed that there should be a reporting requirement in the contract so that all information is available when needed. He expressed his concern regarding the location of the hospital to which a patient is being transported, based on what is wrong with the patient and having the choice of hospitals. Mr. Cohen said the patient has the right to ask the Paramedics to leave and request their own facility which would be Against Medical Advice (AMA). He said the protocol by the County and State requires Medics Ambulance to transport to the nearest appropriate facility on a 911 Emergency call. Nathan Peretzman, resident, expressed his concerns regarding the ambulance contract. He requested that Council Table this item and hold a workshop meeting to further discuss the terms of the contract. Walter Rekuc, resident, expressed his concerns regarding the increases, the number of 911 Emergency calls to Medics Ambulance and their records. City Council Special Meeting 10/08/91/KJ Page 4 Mayor Abramowitz said Fire Chief Briant has told Council several times that the ambulance records that are sent to Broward County have been reviewed by him as well as various Staff members. He said there are items that are of interest to the Council and the City Manager which are not currently contained in the contract which need to be addressed. C/W Glasser said she would not want to put a person in jeopardy of their health based on their lack of ability to pay. She said there is unrest throughout the City by the residents regarding this and in order to justify what the City is receiving, the City should do an audit prior to renewing the contract with Medics Ambulance Service. She said she feels a workshop meeting is in order to further discuss the suggestions brought to the table in this meeting. Mayor Abramowitz said City Manager Kelly was given specific instructions this year to do an audit with Medics Ambulance Service jointly. City Manager Kelly said this audit is scheduled within the next two or three weeks. He said he was alerted that the cap may be met this year by Fire Chief Briant and Mr. Cohen. He said he had alerted Mr. Cohen to not to anticipate any action at this meeting until the opportunity was given to work out the differences in the contract. V/M Bender said there are concerns over two contracts which are Broward County's and the City's contracts with Medics Ambulance. He said he feels a definition and separation needs to be made between the records of the City and County. C/M Katz said he feels that the concern is not the number of trips but what income develops due to these trips and how much will come to the City. Mr. Cohen said he will continue the current service under the present arrangement until the new contract is developed. C/M Schumann MOVED to TABLE Item 1, SECONDED by V/M Bender. C/M Schumann WITHDREW the Motion. Mr. Cohen said Medics Ambulance Service will continue to operate under the present system without billing the residents differential, that the City of Tamarac will resolve this matter as soon as possible and pay Medics Ambulance for the month of October, 1991, the amount that the City paid Medics through the month of September, 1991, which was under the old contract. C/W Glasser MOVED to APPROVE this agreement, SECONDED by C/M Schumann. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE C/M Schumann MOVED to TABLE Item 1i SECONDED by C/M Katz. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE Mayor Abramowitz RECESSED and RECONVENED this meeting at 2:30 p.m. with ALL PRESENT. 2, DZJ=J=X ANQ regarding Southern Bell cellular tower proposal. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Discussion was held and then TABLED. City Manager Kelly said in the past year the City has been approached by representatives from Cellular Communications regarding the feasibility of placing a cellular radio communications tower in the City. 11, r LJ I ] City Council Special Meeting 10/08/91/KJ Page 5 Attorney Alan Gabriel, representing Bell South Mobility, requested Council consider allowing them to locate a facility on the City Utility Plant, adjacent to Kings Point Recreational Complex. He made his presentation of the cellular communications system. He said there is a hole in the coverage area for cellular phones and the 150 foot freestanding antenna tower with a 325 square foot unmanned equipment building would fill this hole and allow for complete cellular phone communications in the area. V/M Bender asked if the area being requested is near the City's water tower and Mr. Gabriel agreed. V/M Bender expressed his concern regarding the possibilities of a storm causing the tower to collapse onto the water tower. TAPE 3 Jeff Ebahura, representative of Bell South Mobility, said their towers are designed to withstand hurricane force winds and designed to collapse upon itself. V/M Bender said he is uncomfortable with having this tower next to the water tower and asked how far Bell South Mobility is looking to place their tower from the water tower and Mr. Gabriel said it depends upon the City's desire. V/M Bender asked what area is available in the City to place this tower and City Manager Kelly said almost any area. Mayor Abramowitz asked what the benefit is to allow Bell South Mobility to place this tower in the City and Mr. Gabriel said the proposal would either provide the City for the lease of approximately 5,500 square feet of land and would provide the City with either $10,000 annually or $20,000 of air time annually. Mr. Gabriel said this arrangement has been made with the following cities: Sunrise, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Hollywood, Boynton Beach and Palm Beach. He said proposals are on the table for Tamarac, Coral Springs and Broward.County. Mr. Gabriel said due to technology changing so readily for them, if and the City decides that they no longer want the tower, they will either remove it or they will give it to the City for $100. Discussion was held regarding the feasibility of locating the tower further west and closer to the canal. C/M Katz said Council is looking at a piece of the City which the City is hoping to develop and Council does not want a prospective buyer to come to the City and state that they do not want to buy or lease a particular piece of property because the tower is there. He said if he were willing to agree with the tower, he would prefer to sell the property to Bell South Mobility in order to have income to the property instead of leasing the property where there would be no rateable. He said he would prefer the tower be located far into the Everglades so as not to impair the sale of property. City Manager Kelly said the proposed tower site is a ballfield and 75 foot light fixtures surround the area. Mr. Ebahura said he could request that his Engineer reduce the height of the tower to bring it closer to the light fixtures height and all agreed. C/W Glasser asked if the FP&L power lines would cause interference and Mr. Ebahura said they do at times which is why they would prefer the tower be higher. Further discussion was held regarding the height of various fixtures and structures. City Council Special Meeting 10/08/91/KJ Page 6 V/M Bender asked how far away this tower would be from another tower and Mr. Ebahura said there is a facility at University Drive, south of Sample Road in Coral Springs, one in Sunrise Industrial Park and one in the western portion of Parkland along the Sawgrass Expressway. Discussion was held regarding the possible sites for this tower. ' V/M Bender MOVED to TABLE Item 2, SECONDED by C/M Schumann. - VOTE; ALL VOTED AYE 3. DISCUSSION &ND XQSSIBLE ACTION of purchase of one mobile infiltration vehicle from CUES EQUIPMENT, sole source, in the amount of $144,977. �•• •' •� ....R • City Manager Kelly said Council had discussed the prospect of purchasing this type of vehicle. He said Staff had the opportunity to see a comparable vehicle at the Public Services Complex which is within the price that was budgeted for the vehicle and is available at this time. Peter Procopio, Utilities Operations Manager, said this equipment would be a great help to the City's Crew and will reduce infiltration. He said this piece of equipment locates the leak and seals it in the process. He said the truck and the equipment come with a warranty. V/M Bender asked who is equipped to service this vehicle and Mx. Procopio said Cues Equipment has local representatives from which the City can obtain the parts and maintenance. V/M Bender asked if the City would need a service contract with them and how much would it be and Mr. Procopio said the City has not had a service contract for the current Cues equipment that the City has. Mr. Procopio said there is a one year new vehicle warranty included and a maintenance contract would need to be budgeted for 1993. Mayor Abramowitz said the infiltration is costing the City a lot of money yearly and this is a good way to stop it. C/M Katz expressed his concern regarding the current Cues Equipment that the City has and the amount of time it was in need of repairs and Mr. Procopio said the old piece of equipment passed its life expectancy. Mr. Procopio said the old vehicle is working and can be used for backup for the new one. C/M Schumann asked why the vehicle that was looked at in September was not purchased and Mr. Procopio said Staff looked at the vehicle and then had to come back to the City with the report and get permission from Council to purchase it. Mayor Abramowitz asked how many people in the City are able to handle this equipment and Mr. Procopio said six or seven. C/M Schumann said he understood that this was to be purchased at a substantial savings to the City and Mr. Procopio said this is a $27,000 savings to the City and the dealer needs to be notified today in order to receive this price. Discussion was held regarding the Staff capabilities to handle this equipment. City Council Special Meeting 10/08/91/KJ Page 7 C/M Katz said he would like to know how much it would cost to repair the old truck, cost of a maintenance agreement, and how much time is needed for servicing of the equipment. City Manager Kelly said Staff cannot make these types of decisions. C/W Glasser said Council needs to depend on Staff to supply the proper information. She said she feels Staff should have been given authority to do this in order to prevent this type of situation arising. Mayor Abramowitz said he cannot give anyone the right to purchase this without informing Council and having final approval by Council. C/W Glasser said Staff had supplied Council with all of the information prior to looking at the vehicle and the purpose of the trip was to be sure it was the proper equipment needed. Mayor Abramowitz said no one can make this type of commitment other than Council. C/M Schumann suggested a fax be sent to bind the City to a particular deal like this. City Attorney Ruf said Council can authorize a purchase contingent upon the City Attorney's approval of the terms of the contract. V/M Bender asked if the $150,000 was budgeted to purchase this equipment and City Manager Kelly agreed. C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE the purchase of this equipment, SECONDED by C/W Glasser. Walter Rekuc, resident, expressed his concern regarding the ability of personnel to handle this equipment and the availability for parts. V/M Bender said Cue Equipment will include the parts and service manual on the unit. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 4. MQTION TO APPE= the rejection of all bids received by the City Clerk on September 27, 1991, for City Bid No. 91-11 annual requirements: excavation, removal and disposal of water treatment plant lime sludge. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION- Agendized by Consent and then APPROVED City Manager Kelly said these bids did not come within the City's budgetary requirements. C/M Katz asked if the City's advertising contains the fact that the vendor at present has the equipment on the project and that whoever gets the contract will need to bring in their own equipment and Mr. Procopio said it is part of the bid spec that they need to bring in their own equipment. TAPE 4 C/W Glasser MOVED to AGENDIZE Item 4, SECONDED by C/M Schumann. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE C/M Katz asked if the City is going to have a similar situation as the overflow of the dam in Colony West where the City would be responsible for desludging the area or can the City hold the new contracted vendor responsible for an overflow. City Council Special Meeting 10/08/91/KJ Page 8 Mr. Procopio said Colony West was an unfortunate situation. He said the City is in violation of State Agency requirements that the sludge must come out of the pond. He said it is the responsibility of Staff to be sure that whoever gets this contract is in compliance. Discussion was held regarding this problem and the possible solutions which include the requirement of a performance bond. Mr. Procopio said at present there is a pile of lime next to the pond which needs to be removed. He said it takes time to bid a project in order to handle the current buildup of sludge. City Manager Kelly said he has the authority to accept Staff's recommendation to declare it an emergency and to advise Council. Mayor Abramowitz asked if the current vendor is not performing properly and City Manager Kelly agreed. Mr. Procopio said this is a timed element and one contract cannot be cancelled and then go out to bid for another. C/M Schumann asked how the vendor was able to begin the work without the performance bond and Mr. Procopio said the City had one invalid bid. C/M Katz asked if Staff has surveyed other cities regarding this and Mr. Procopio said as a way to find a solution to this problem that could be ongoing for a month or two, it was checked with Broward County who would bid it out and there may be a possibility that the City could piggyback onto that contract. He said this would cause the situation of the contractor having a performance bond with the County and not the City. Further discussion was held regarding this. Mayor Abramowitz asked if it would be cost effective for the City to own the equipment and do it and Mr. Procopio said it would be expensive with the drag line and the City would also need a fleet of trucks. C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Item 4, SECONDED by V/M Bender. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 5. revising the rate for the residential garbage collection and disposal fee. SYNOPSIS Off' ACTION: RESOLUTION R-91-173-PASSED Agendized by Consent and then APPROVED the revised monthly fees as follows: (a) curb service per unit other than condominium ........ from 14.24 to 14.91 (b) dumpster service per condominium unit..............from 7.16 to 7.50 City Manager was directed to draft a letter to the Attorney General requesting guidance on the disposal companies regarding the residential garbage collections.

Reso. #6153, SECONDED by C/W Glasser. City Manager Kelly said the Finance Department needs to have Council acceptance prior to sending out the billings. He said the [7 City Council Special Meeting 10/08/91/KJ Page 9 previous sizeable increase that the City received was based on the tipping fee being increased by Broward County and did not include the cost of living which is also part of the contract. He said the cost of living figures were not available at the time that they sent out the initial rates. He said the determination has been made that the cost of the CPI index that is referred to in the contract was 4.7% from June, 1990 through June, 1991. City Manager Kelly said the City received notification from Waste Management that they were going to be increasing the City's rates by 4.7%. He said the 4.7% impact to a single-family home would raise the rate from $14.24 to $14.91 effective October 1, 1991. He said the current rate for a condominium is $7.16 and the increase would be to $7.50. He said this is part of the contract and is not a negotiable item. V/M Bender asked how many years are left on the five year contract and City Manager Kelly said this is the last year. Mayor Abramowitz said City Manager Kelly has been instructed to go out for bid for the next contract. City Manager Kelly said letters have been sent out to the various vendors asking if they would be interested in bidding for the City's garbage service. He said this increase does not include the recycling program. Mayor Abramowitz said Tamarac is one of the cities with the lowest garbage rates. V/M Bender said he feels the City should send a letter to the Federal Government regarding this. He said he feels there is an Anti -Sherman Act violation. City Manager Kelly said a letter was sent to the Florida League of Cities to Walter Falck. Discussion was held regarding the letter sent out. V/M Bender MOVED to APPROVE preparation of a letter to the Attorney General asking for guidance regarding this, SECONDED by C/M Katz.

He said on July 10, 1991, Council voted to approve the curbing to be done in Woodlands. He said an Invitation to Bid to do this work was printed in.the newspaper on October 6, 1991. He said in discussing this with -Mr. Couzzo, he found that no money was budgeted for this project. Mayor Abramowitz said Mr. Couzzo had estimated the cost to be approximately $10,000 for this work. City Manager Kelly said Lauderhill has offered to use their equipment and provide their lead person to aid in the operation of the equipment. He said to buy the cement is $5,700 plus the labor cost for City personnel to do it. V/M Bender asked why this was not budgeted when it was approved in July, 1991. City Council Special Meeting 10/08/91/KJ Page 10 Mayor Abramowitz said Council had originally approved this item in 1988; however, Woodlands had some problems and the contract was never signed. Discussion was held regarding the history of this project. City Manager Kelly said it was determined in the bid process that the prices are higher than they were expected. He said the City has the offer from Lauderhill as an option and V/M Bender suggested the offer be received in writing from Lauderhill. C/M Katz said Assistant City Manager McDermott, City Attorney Carsky and he had been working on a proposed Ordinance restricting parking of commercial vehicles in a commercial district and requested that it be agendized for the City Council meeting on October 23, 1991. Mayor Abramowitz agreed and requested the response from the BSO be included in the backup for that meeting. C/M Schumann expressed his concern regarding the condition of the roofs within the City. He requested that Code Enforcement enforce the Ordinance regarding the repainting of roofs. City Manager Kelly said the Code Enforcement Department is enforcing the Code as much as they can but are detered by the rain which is causing mildew on the roofs. 6.
