2. Item No. 6(k) on the Consent Agenda. ACCEPTANCE OF RESOURCE RECOVERY
BOARD SINGLE -STREAM RECYCLING CART GRANT: (TR12181). A Resolution of
the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, accepting the Resource Recovery
Board, single -stream recycling grant, in the amount of $588,312.04; authorizing the
appropriate City officials to execute an agreement between the City of Tamarac and the
Resource Recovery Board for the single -stream recycling cart grant funds; authorizing
budget amendments as needed for proper accounting purposes; providing for conflicts;
providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. — Public Services
Director Jack Strain and Budget/Contracts Manager Troy Gies
Mr. Gies stated that City staff was recommending to the Mayor and City Commission to
accept a grant from the Resource Recovery Board for a single -stream recycling grant in
the amount of $588,312.04, representing the City of Tamarac's annual percentage of
_. tonnage to the total resource recovery system tonnage, which was approximately 3%.
Mr. Strain noted that actual cost for the recycling carts totaled $832,402.00. He also
stated that the City of Tamarac currently had one of the highest per capita recycling
rates in Broward County. A copy of City staff's powerpoint presentation for this
workshop item is attached hereto. In an effort to protect the City on a going forward
basis, Commissioner Dressler said that the County's methodology relative to this matter
was flawed and that was polite. He also stated that the logic of the County Commission
could be perceived by some as inappropriate. Commissioner Dressler also said he was
not comfortable at all with the methodology. With that being said, Commissioner
Dressler said he would vote in favor, with the caveat and understanding that the County
is to be held responsible for any legal review of the process should it occur at any future
date. Commissioner Dressler also said he would do this because he felt that the
reimbursement was an inappropriate process, and the City was entitled to the
reimbursement. Commissioner Dressler inquired whether Mr. Horowitz had any legal
objection to anything in his statement. Mr. Horowitz said he had no objection to
anything in Commissioner Dressler's statement.
Mayor Bushnell inquired whether there was a deadline for claiming the grant funds. Mr.
Gies said the deadline for requesting the grant funds from the Resource Recovery
Board will sunset in 2013.

appropriate City officials to submit an application via Broward County Transit to the
Federal Transit Administration, an operating administration of the US Department of
Transportation, for Federal Transportation Assistance Funds, for the purchase of a
hybrid bus and related equipment in the amount of $166,000.00, providing for a 17%
match in local funds in the amount of $34,000 plus a 10% Broward County
administrative fee in local funds in the amount of $16,600 in the event of the approval of
the application; providing for acceptance of the award and executing of documents upon

providing for an effective date. — Public Services Director Jack Strain, Assistant
Parks and Recreation Director Linda Probert and Special Projects Coordinator
Michael Gresek
Mr. Gresek said that City staff was recommending applying for Federal Transit
Administration grant funds in the amount of $166,000.00 for the purchase of a hybrid
bus and related equipment. Mr. Gresek said that the City's matching funds were 17%
or $34,000 and the City would also need to pay a 10% administrative fee to Broward
County since the City of Tamarac was not a direct recipient of federal transportation
funds. Commissioner Glasser inquired whether the proposed hybrid bus was the same
size as the existing City bus for summer camp and field trips. Mr. Strain said that the
proposed bus would have the same seating capacity. Commissioner Glasser asked
whether the City would be able to sell the old bus. Mr. Strain said that the bus would be
sold using the City's on-line auction process. Commissioner Dressler inquired whether
staff was proposing a hybrid electric bus. Mr. Strain said this was correct, as the City
did not have the infrastructure needed to support compressed natural gas (CNG) type
buses at present. Commissioner Dressler inquired about the anticipated lifespan of a
_. hybrid bus. Mr. Strain said buses generally had an anticipated life span of eight years.
Commissioner Swenson inquired how many passengers the hybrid bus would
accommodate and the primary uses for the bus. Ms. Probert said that the hybrid bus
would accommodate up to twenty-two passengers and would be used for summer
camps, local trips and could be used on the red or yellow bus routes, as needed.
4. Item No. 60) on the Consent Agenda. GRANT SUBMITTAL: FEDERAL
TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE (FTA) BUS SHELTERS: (TR12179) A Resolution
of the City Commission of the City of Tamarac, Florida, approving and authorizing the
appropriate City officials to submit an application via Broward County Transit to the
Federal Transit Administration, an operating administration of the US Department of
Transportation, for Federal Transportation Assistance Funds for the purchase and
installation of 13 kaleidoscope bus shelters in the amount of $401,440, providing for a
20% match in local and/or in -kind funds in the amount of $100,360, plus a required 10%
Broward County administrative fee in local funds in the amount of $40,144 in the event
of the approval of the application; providing for acceptance of the award and executing
of documents upon approval; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; and
providing for an effective date. — Special Projects Coordinator Michael Gresek and
Planning and Zoning Manager Frank Zlckar
Mr. Gresek stated that the City was seeking grant funds in the amount of $401,440 to
purchase and install thirteen kaleidoscope bus shelters, with a required match of 20% of
local/in-kind funds and a ten percent Broward County administrative fee in the amount
of $40,144.00. Mr. Zickar stated that the proposal was to add thirteen bus shelters at
locations where there are fifteen to twenty-five bus riders per day. Mr. Gresek noted
that the 10% administrative fee was only paid to Broward County in the event that the
City of Tamarac received the FTA funds for the bus shelters. Vice Mayor Glasser
inquired who would be installing the bus shelters. Mr. Gresek said that City staff would
install the proposed bus shelters at various locations along area roadways. Mayor
Bushnell inquired about the anticipated timeframe relative to the potential receipt of
grant funds. Mr. Gresek said it was likely that the agreement between the Federal
Transit Administration and Broward County would be finalized in August 2012 and the
County's agreement with the City of Tamarac taking place sometime during the fall of
2012.
There was a break in the proceedings between 10:43 and 10:53 a.m.
5. Item No. 6(b) on the Consent Agenda. COMMERCIAL ARTERIAL
REDEVELOPMENT STUDY: (TR 12159) A Resolution of the City Commission of the
City of Tamarac, Florida, approving the award and execution of an agreement to
provide consulting services to provide for a complete Commercial Arterial
Redevelopment Study and related ancillary services for the City of Tamarac, to Calvin,
Giordano and Associates, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $174,260; providing for
conflicts; providing for severability; and providing for an effective date. — Community
Development Director Jennifer Bramley, Community & Economic Affairs Officer
Andy Berns and Purchasing/Contracts Manager Keith Glatz
Mr. Berns said that City staff was recommending that the City Commission approve an
agreement to provide consulting services for a commercial arterial redevelopment study
to Calvin, Giordano and Associates, providing for a comprehensive review of
commercial areas throughout the City of Tamarac, including a market and
demographics study and opportunities for businesses such as retail, offices, restaurants
and other establishments. Ms. Bramley said that the primary purpose of the study was
to provide detailed information about potential types of commercial uses and their
highest and best uses of commercial properties throughout the City of Tamarac. Ms.
Bramley noted that it would take about eight months to complete the commercial arterial
redevelopment study. Commissioner Swenson inquired about how long the study's
results would be useful for, to which Mr. Berns said the useful life of the study's results
would likely be in the range of ten to twenty years. Commissioner Dressler emphasized
the importance of the study consultants focusing on ideas which were new and outside
of the box. Mayor Bushnell inquired whether the consultants for the arterials corridor
study would be coordinating with the commercial arterial redevelopment study
consultant. Ms. Bramley said that Calvin, Giordano and Associates, Inc. staff would
work in concert with Keith and Schnarrs staff to developing a unified long-term
commercial vision for the City of Tamarac.
6. BROWARD COUNTY CONSOLIDATED COMMUNICATION COMMITTEE _
UPDATE (911) — Fire Chief Mike Burton
Fire Chief Mike Burton presented a comprehensive overview on the status of the
Broward County Consolidated Communication Committee. He stated that although
closest unit response was the principal tool for facilitating fire and EMS response on a
county -wide basis in Broward, it was supported, rather than compelled. Chief Burton
said that the committee was composed of three subcommittees, focusing on
governance, funding and operations. He also stated that the committee had met
twenty-three times since November 2011. Chief Burton stated that there was limited
standardized collection of emergency call data throughout Broward County at present
and during 2008-2009 there were a total of 1.5 million 911 calls and 2.5 million non -
emergency calls to dispatch centers throughout Broward County.
Chief Burton said that although there was broad consensus to support an independent
district as the preferred form of governance, this was not likely due to various legislative
impediments. Chief Burton continued his report with an in-depth overview of
recommendations of the funding subcommittee, specifically the recommendation to
create a municipal services taxing unit, counting against the 10 mil cap. He noted that
Broward County would continue to fund infrastructure costs. Chief Burton stated that he
had served as Chair of the Operations Committee, which adopted 34 overarching goals
for the BCCCC. Chief Burton said that the Committee's final report would be made to
the Broward County Commission at the Commission's March 27th meeting. Vice Mayor
Glasser inquired whether the City of Tamarac had been a party to potential emergency
lownft consolidation with Margate, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs and Parkland. Mr. Cernech
said that Tamarac had been involved with some initial discussions, but the better
potential geographic grouping of cities was to the south, rather than the north. Mr.
Cernech also commended Chief Burton for the good job that he had done in
representing the City of Tamarac throughout the process to date.
Commissioner Dressler inquired whether Broward County was attempting to push the
responsibility for the 911 dispatch system down to cities. Chief Burton said he did not
believe this was the case, since Broward County was continuing to fund infrastructure
costs for the 911 system. Commissioner Dressler expressed grave concern about
taxpayers paying twice for the same service through both taxes and user fees. Chief
Burton said he would report back to the Mayor and City Commission about any actions
taken at the March 27th Broward County Commission meeting relative to the
presentation of the Broward County Consolidated Communication Committee's final
report and recommendations.
7. Item No. 9(a) on Public Hearings. NSP3 SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE FY
2010/2011 ACTION PLAN: (TR12172) A Resolution of the City Commission of the City
of Tamarac, Florida, amending the Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG")
Program, fiscal year 2010/2011 Annual Action Plan tenth program year -Neighborhood
Stabilization Program Round 3 to provide for the inclusion of eligible activity "financing
mechanisms"; providing for conflicts; providing for severability; providing for an effective
date. — Community Development Director Jennifer Bram/ey and Housing &
Neighborhood Programs Manager Angela Bauldree
Ms. Bauldree presented an overview of the proposed second amendment to the City of
Tamarac's NSP3 FY 2010/2011 action plan, noting that staff was recommending the
addition of an activity to handle the conveyance of properties and related financing
mechanism activities, especially for applicants with very low incomes. Ms. Bramley
noted that there would be a public hearing on this matter at Wednesday evening's City
Commission meeting. Commissioner Swenson inquired about the number of homes in
the City's NSP3 program. Ms. Bauldree said there were presently two homes in the
City's program, with another two homes possibly being added in the future.
Commissioner Swenson also inquired about the processes available to ensure that
applicants were not put in a situation in which they qualified for more than they could
truly afford. Ms. -Bauldree noted that all program participants received eight hours of
homeowner and credit -related counseling. Ms. Bauldree also stated that City staff
anticipated that there would eventually be six properties in the City's NSP3 program
from the Heathgate-Sunflower community. Mayor Bushnell inquired about the price
range for the program's homes in the Heathgate-Sunflower community. Ms. Bauldree
said the price -of homes ranged between $85,000 and $115,000. She noted that City
staff would likely focus on 2-bedroom 2-bath homes in another part of Tamarac in the
future.
8. WOODMONT SIGNAGE PILOT PROJECT UPDATE: — Community
Development Director Jennifer Bramley and Planning and Zoning Manager Frank
Zickar.
Director of Community Development Jennifer Bramley noted that City staff had begun a
review of the neighborhood sign program about a year ago and had a good deal of
interaction with condo and property owner associations in the intervening time period.
Planning and Zoning Manager Frank Zickar stated that many of the existing Woodmont
signs were in poor condition. Mr. Zickar stated that there a total of seven key entrances
to the Woodmont community, with a total of twelve signs. Mr. Zickar showed a
rendering of the proposed sign for the Jasmine section of Woodmont, the first section to
receive one of the new signs. Mr. Zickar presented a map, showing the locations of all
existing entryway signs for the Woodmont community, and provided a brief update on
the status of discussions relative to this signage. Commissioner Dressler inquired about
the possibility of upgrading signage for the Heathgate-Sunflower community as part of
the neighborhood signage program. Ms. Bramley stated that City staff planned to
coordinate the pilot signage program in other neighborhoods throughout the City in the
future. Mayor Bushnell inquired whether all of the Woodmont signs would look the
same. Mr. Zickar said that all of the signs throughout Woodmont would be very similar.
Mayor Bushnell inquired about the anticipated timeframe for the installation of signs.
Mr. Zickar said it was likely that the first sign would be in place during the next few
months.
Mr. Cernech complemented Ms. Bramley and Mr. Zickar for their good work in
coordinating the Woodmont signage pilot project to date. Commissioner Dressler also
expressed thanks to Ms. Bramley and Mr. Zickar for bringing this project to fruition and
implementation.
There being no further business, the workshop was adjourned at 12:46 p.m.

REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business -type
activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Tamarac,
Florida for the year ended September 30, 2011, and have issued our report thereon dated March
5, 2012. Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114 requires the auditor to communicate certain
matters to keep those charged with governance adequately informed about matters related to the
financial statements audit that are, in our professional judgment, significant and relevant to the
responsibilities of those charged with governance in overseeing the financial reporting process.
The following summarizes these communications.
Area
Auditor's Responsibility under
Professional Standards
Accounting Practices
Comments
As stated in our engagement letter dated
June 21, 2010, our responsibility, as
described by professional standards, is to
express an opinion about whether the
financial statements prepared by
management with your oversight are fairly
presented, in all material respect, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepting
accounting principles. Our audit of the
financial statements does not relieve you or
management of your responsibilities.
Adoption of, or Change in, Accounting
Practices
Management is responsible for the selection
and use of appropriate accounting policies.
In accordance with the terms of our
engagement letter, we will advise
management about the appropriateness of
accounting policies and their application.
The significant accounting policies used by
City of Tamarac are described in Note 1 of
the financial statements.
The City did not adopt any new GASBs in
fiscal year 2011 nor did it have any changes
in existing significant accounting policies
during the current year.

REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS (CONTINUED)
Area
Management's Judgments and
Accounting Estimates
Uncorrected Misstatements
Disagreements with Management
Comments
Significant or Unusual Transactions
We noted no transactions entered into by
the City during the year for which there is a
lack of authoritative guidance or consensus.
There are no significant transactions that
have been recognized in the financial
statements in a different period than when
the transaction occurred.
Alternative Treatment Discussed with
Management
We did not discuss with management any
alternative treatments within generally
accepted accounting principles for
accounting policies and practices related to
material items during the current audit
period.
Summary information about the process
used by management in formulating
particularly sensitive accounting estimates
and about our conclusion regarding the
reasonableness of those estimates is in the
attached "Summary of Accounting
Estimates".
Professional standards require us to
accumulate all known and
likely
misstatements identified during the
audit
other than those that are trivial,
and
communicate them to the appropriate
level
of management. None of the items listed in
the attached schedule "Summary of Passed
Adjustments and Audit Differences"
were
material, either individually or in
the
aggregate, to the financial statements
as a
whole.
For purpose of this letter, professional
standards define a disagreement with
management as a financial accounting,
reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not
resolved to our satisfaction, that could be
significant to the financial statements or the
auditor's report. We are pleased to report
that no such disagreements arose during
the course of our audit.

REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS (CONTINUED)
Area Comments
Management Representations We have requested certain representations
from management that are included in the
management representation letter dated
February 24, 2012.
Consultations with Other Accountants
Difficulties Encountered in Performing the
Audit
Other Audit Findings or Issues
Other Information in Documents
Containing Audited Financial Statements
In some cases, management may decide to
consult with other accountants about
auditing and accounting matters, similar to
obtaining a `second opinion" on certain
situations. If a consultation involves
application of accounting principle to the
governmental unit's financial statements or
a determination of the type of auditor's
opinion that may be expressed on those
statements, our professional standards
require the consulting accountant to check
with us to determine that the consultant has
all the relevant facts. To our knowledge,
there were no such consultations with other
accountants.
We are glad to report that we had no
difficulties in dealing with management in
performing and completing our audit.
We generally discuss a variety of matters,
including the application of accounting
principles and auditing standards, with
management each year prior to retention as
the City's auditor. However, these
discussions occurred in the normal course
of our professional relationship and our
responses were not a condition to our
retention.
With respect to the supplementary
information accompanying the financial
statements, we made certain inquires of
management and evaluated the form,
content, and methods of preparing the
information to determine that the
information complies with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, the method of preparing
it has not changes from the prior period,
and the information is appropriate and
complete in relation to our audit of the
financial statements. We compared and
reconciled the supplementary information to
the underlying accounting records used to
prepare the financial statements or to the
financial statements themselves.

CITY OF TAMARAC, FLORIDA
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management
and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and
assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive
because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future
events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates
affecting the financial statements were:
Area
Depreciation
Compensated absences
Reserve for Claim
Liabilities
Accountinq Policy
The City capitalizes fixed
assets with initial,
individual cost of more
than $1,000 for
equipment, $5,000 for
infrastructure and
$50,000 for software,
useful life of one year or
more. Capital assets
are recorded at historical
costs or estimated
historical costs if
purchased or
constructed. Donated
capital assets are
recorded at estimated
fair value at the date of
donation.
The city permits eligible
employees to
accumulate earned but
unused vacation and
sick pay benefits
The City established a
self-insurance program
for worker's
compensation and for
general and automobile
liability. The amount of
risk retained by the City
is limited through the
purchase of excess
insurance.
Estimation Process
The City depreciates
assets on the straight
line basis method over
their estimated useful
life. Machinery and
equipment are
depreciated at 4-20
years; buildings 40-50
years; infrastructure 35-
40 years; and
improvements other than
buildings 20 years.
Estimation is done at
end of each fiscal year
based on recorded
balances as of year-end
derived from the
calculation of beginning
balances plus hours
earned minus hours
used during the year.
Estimated claim
liabilities are determined
by an actuarial at year-
end. Liabilities include
an amount for claims
that have been incurred
but not reported, based
on historical experience.
Claims liabilities are
reevaluated periodically
to take into
consideration recently
settled claims, the
frequency of claims, and
other economic and
social factors.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
(CONTINUED)
Accountina Policy
The City records
liabilities when probable
that a loss has occurred
and amount of loss is
reasonably stated.
Pension and other
employee benefits other
than pension plans are
accounted for on the
accrual basis of
accounting. Plan
member contributions
are recognized on the
period in which
contributions are made
while City contributions
are recognized when
due and the City has
made a formal
commitment to provide
the contributions.
Benefits and refunds are
recognized when due
and payable in
accordance with the
terms of the Plans.
Estimation Process
The City provided
reserve based on the
City Engineer's
estimated cost to be
incurred in cleaning up
and remediation of the
municipal parking lot.
The City's required
contribution to each plan
is annually determined
through actuarial
valuation. The
projection of future
benefit payments
involves estimates of the
value of reported assets
and assumptions about
the probability of
occurrence of events far
into the future. Amounts
determined regarding
the funded status of the
plan and the annual
required contributions of
the employer are subject
to continual revision as
actual results are
compared with past
expectations and new
estimates are made
about the future. The
actuarial valuation uses
method and
assumptions including
inflation rate, investment
rate of return, projected
salary increases and
cost of living adjustment
which may vary from
actual results.
