3. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
Page 3
Mayor Gomez noted the rules for public comment were posted and opened the floor to
comments from the public.
1) Dr. Kate Johnson, Mainlands 4, Tamarac, shared that on her way to the meeting, she
was praying for Israel and saw a huge rainbow in the sky and was reminded of God's
promise to the people of Israel. She stated she would continue to pray for a swift
resolution with as little loss of life as possible. Dr. Johnson thanked Parks and
Recreation for following through on fencing Mainlands Park. She expressed concern
with an upcoming event at the park and reiterated her previous issues with the Shaker
Village community center purchase.
2) Elizabeth McPherson, Tamarac, commented on misinformation regarding Shaker
Village and the sale of the clubhouse. She stated she was deeply concerned by the
comments of Commissioner Villalobos at the September 13 meeting regarding unity in
the community.
Mayor Gomez clarified that calling out individuals was not acceptable under the rules
of Public Participation. City Attorney Ottinot added that comments should be directed
to the Commission as a body.
Ms. McPherson continued her comments. She asserted unity should be the
community's shared aspiration. She discussed the Shaker Village budget and stated
there are four (4) employees and it is baffling to consider $140,000 as excessive. She
asserted this project was a step toward the betterment of Tamarac.
3) Dr. Darcy Schiller, Kings Point, Tamarac, stated first and foremost she stands with
Israel. She highlighted City Manager Sucuoglu's comments at the September 27
meeting regarding the IRS directive on mileage. She asserted she was going to presume
he was mistaken, as she had called the IRS and learned they do not give an allowance,
but mileage must be submitted for reimbursement as appropriate. She asked that the
policy be clarified.
4) Corrine Graham, Shaker Village, Tamarac, discussed the need for honesty, accuracy,
and a sense of community within the City. She noted the City's Building Official had
explained on September 13 that there were no liens on the property. She stated when
presented with information from an expert, it is concerning that certain residents are
committed to misunderstanding and repeating misinformation. She asserted it was
critical that elected officials conduct due diligence and challenge misconceptions. She
stated a commitment to truth and a shared sense of community was needed to work
toward a bright future for Tamarac.
5) Jodi Ann Reed, Shaker Village, Tamarac, stated she would also like to address
comments made at the September 13 meeting. She asserted one (1) Commissioner
Minutes
October 11, 2023 — Regular Commission Meeting
Page 4
accused her and other Board members of not being "real Board members" because he
requested certificates on September 12, and they did not provide them. She clarified
that no such request was made to the Shaker Village Board or the management
company and read an email from Commissioner Villalobos to City Attorney Ottinot
requesting copies of the certificates on September 15.
Discussion ensued briefly regarding attorney -client communication. Mayor Gomez
asked that the topic be addressed at another meeting.
Ms. Reed reiterated that the written request was made two (2) days after the statement
at the September 13 meeting that the documents had not been provided. She stated she
had copies of all four (4) Board members' certificates and reviewed the dates of receipt,
highlighting that all were within 90 days of the Board's annual meeting in February,
with three (3) earned in 2021 and the fourth earned in 2023. She stated the current
Board had been working tirelessly to remedy the previous mismanagement of funds
and added that it was her wish for all of us to do better to treat each other with fairness
and empathy.
6) Ronald Wasserman, Shangri La, Tamarac, acknowledged Breast Cancer Awareness
Month and asked everyone present or listening to do what they can to help. He
commented on the antisemitism he had experienced growing up in New York and the
need for unity. He noted homelessness is an issue in the community and thanked BSO
for their response.
7) Patti Lynn, Mainlands 8, Tamarac, stated she also stands with Israel. She shared that
the Broward Veterans Coalition would be holding a resource fair at the community
center on Saturday, October 14 beginning at 10 a.m. She discussed the Shaker Village
purchase and stated she was confused that the City has a contract to purchase
condominium common area without a vote of the owners. She noted that if a
Commissioner has a vested interest in the property, they should not be voting, and
clarified that a vested interest did not have to mean ownership in your name. She
thanked BSO for everything they do and stated the City employees are better than
average and people should be proud.
8) LaToya Boyd, Shaker Village, Tamarac, stated she wanted to address the integrity and
truthfulness of the City's elected officials. She referenced the September 13
Commission meeting and stated one (1) of the Commissioners had said (the Shaker
Village Homeowners' Association) owns five (5) properties worth over $1.5 million.
She advised that Shaker Village resident Thomas Smith provided detailed information
on those five (5) properties during the same meeting, seeking to set the record straight,
but it appears the Commissioner is committed to spreading misinformation. She noted
residents look to their elected officials for leadership, and it is important that
misinformation does not persist. She reviewed a list of the properties in question and
stated they have outstanding mortgages ranging from $21,000 to $209,000 which
Minutes
October 11, 2023 — Regular Commission Meeting
Page 5
would need to be settled before they could be sold. She stated the Board does not have
the funds at their disposal at this time.
Commissioner Villalobos stated that the comments directed at him were inappropriate
and argued he was being targeted due to emails from Vice Mayor Bolton.
Mayor Gomez acknowledged the concern and reiterated that this was not the
appropriate time for the conversation.
9) Naomi Perez, Shaker Village, Tamarac, commented that at the September 13 meeting,
many voices spoke in favor of a special assessment for the Shaker Village community
instead of buying the clubhouse. She stated to correct all issues, including drainage,
insurance, roofs, paving the road, and clubhouse, it would take a special assessment of
around $1470 per person for 12 months. She noted the cost to fix the drainage itself
would already be an additional $700 per person for six (6) months and stated this was
just not doable. She pointed out the management of the HOA funds was not the fault
of the residents and stated the sale of the clubhouse was just about Shaker Village
residents, but about everyone in Tamarac and building something that can help the
whole community.
10) Stewart Webster, Versailles Garden, Tamarac, stated the residents have no problems
hearing and loving the City Manager. He asserted every time he wants to address the
needs of his community, something urgent gets in the way. He asked that the record
from the last meeting be corrected, as Mayor Gomez stated he wanted to speak in
opposition to the Shaker Village project. He stated if this fiasco goes on, he would ask
his condo board to try the same action. He noted they would not expect the same level
of support from their Commissioner, as he is too principled, too moral, and too ethical.
He commented on Vice Mayor Bolton's role as the City's representative to the Broward
League of Cities and the example set. He stated continued comments regarding respect
and decorum are ignored.
Mayor Gomez clarified briefly.
11) Shani Lewis, Manor Park, Tamarac, stated she is an avid walker in Tamarac, and finds
that on Commercial Boulevard, because the lanes are so wide, the timer at the stop light
does not give enough time to walk across. She asked who the City would need to work
with or lobby to be sure there is ample time to cross the street.
Mayor Gomez connected Ms. Lewis with Public Services Director John Doherty and
shared that a meeting regarding Move Tamarac would be held on October 18 at 6:30
p.m. at the Community Center.
12) Jay Koutcher, 8173 Royal Palm Court, stated the Commission had taken a lot of guff
tonight, but what hadn't been said was all of the great things that Tamarac is doing for
its citizens. He asserted that compared to neighboring cities, Tamarac is making it a lot

Page 6
easier for many of its citizens to enjoy. He highlighted that (the Broward Veterans
Coalition resource fair on Saturday) would include food for all veterans. He encouraged
the City to participate at next year's Florida International Trade and Cultural Expo
(FITCE) to show Tamarac to the world.
13) EG Herron, Shaker Village, Tamarac, shared a story regarding a man he met in Georgia
who sold his land so that his children would not be in financial difficulties. He stated
there was a lot of emotion, but it was a simple fix. He added that the term "bail out"
does not apply, and taxes would not be raised, but there were emotions from
misinformation,

Minutes
October 11, 2023 — Regular Commission Meeting Page 10
City Attorney Ottinot read the title for the record.
Maxine Calloway, Assistant City Manager and Community Development Director,
made a presentation which is on file in the City Clerk's Office.
Commissioner Villalobos asked for clarification on the definition of private
preschool. Assistant City Manager Calloway explained.
Vice Mayor Bolton asked if staff had benchmarked other cities, particularly the
neighboring cities. Assistant City Manager Calloway stated they had been looked
at, and most had the uses as a conditional use, which is similar to the City's special
exception use. Discussion continued regarding the process in other communities.
Vice Mayor Bolton asked whether a requirement for signage in smoke shops and
vape shops clarifying that children are not allowed would be appropriate in this
ordinance. Assistant City Manager Calloway recommended this be included in the
signage provision as a different amendment.
Vice Mayor Bolton asked questions regarding the distance separation requirements.
Assistant City Manager Calloway responded.
Mayor Gomez noted places of worship and residential were not included. Assistant
City Manager Calloway stated the only restriction in this ordinance was schools.
She noted some cities included parks or residential and discussed the special
exception process as another potential barrier from proliferation of applications.
Mayor Gomez asked for clarification on how Publix was counted on the list and
zoning designations. Assistant City Manager Calloway explained.
Commissioner Daniel asked whether the regulations would be applied in the
reverse, where a school could not open within 1,000 feet of a liquor store or smoke
shop. Assistant City Manager Calloway stated it would not impact the school, but
it would impact new establishments.
Commissioner Daniel stated she agreed that 1,000 feet was not enough of a distance
and asked whether making it more was an option. Assistant City Manager Calloway
discussed the distance requirements in other cities, explaining it was an average of
500-1,000 feet, coupled with conditional use requirements.
Commissioner Daniel clarified that even if an application met all of the
requirements, the Commission could still say no. Assistant City Manager Calloway
confirmed this was correct and the Commission had made that choice in the past on
special exception applications.
Vice Mayor Bolton asked whether adding churches and parks to the legislation
would be acceptable. Assistant City Manager Calloway responded that she thought
it would be, because it was be used in other cities.
Minutes

Page 11
Vice Mayor Bolton inquired as to the City's recourse in the case of pop-up smoke
and vape shops in banquet halls and other locations. Assistant City Manager
Calloway stated if it was part of an event, a cigar bar or similar was not controlled
under the Code.
Vice Mayor Bolton asked about the number of shops in other Broward County
communities. Assistant City Manager Calloway explained data had only been
gathered for a two (2) mile radius.
Commissioner Villalobos provided an example of a 1,000-foot distance and stated
he thought that was fine.
Mayor Gomez argued that Tamarac could lead on this issue, and stated she would
be more supportive of amending the separation to 2,000 feet and including parks
and religious institutions.
City Manager Sucuoglu pointed out there are a number of plans for mixed -use
development, and further restriction of these types of establishments could have a
negative impact on future development.
Mayor Gomez stated some discussion regarding the bar, lounge, and tavern
definition may be helpful, but this conversation started with smoke and vape shops
and liquor stores. Assistant City Manager Calloway noted that bar, lounge, and
tavern were addressed separately, so restrictions could be applied differently to that
use if that were the direction of the Commission.
Discussion continued regarding amending the motion.
Moved by Commissioner Villalobos; seconded by Commissioner Wright to
approve Ordinance T02532 on first reading as amended to change 15(e) to a 2,000-
foot boundary including religious assemblies and parks, and 15(f) to a 1,500-foot
separation.
Vice Mayor Bolton stated he hears the City Manager's vision for the City and
knows the City is actively looking to bring in new businesses and stay vibrant with
the type of restaurants that are needed. He asserted he wants restrictions and does
not like these uses, especially close to churches and schools, but has concerns this
amendment would be the right move.
Mayor Gomez stated she did not see how Tamarac Village was impacted, but it
would be brought before the Commission as a special exception. Assistant City
Manager Calloway pointed out that there was a separate definition for restaurants.
Commissioner Wright stated he agreed with the 1,000 feet because he understood
the vision of the City Manager and recognized that it would put Tamarac on the
conservative end compared to neighboring communities.
