Michael Cernech and Assistant City Attorney Klahr appeared. City Manager Cernech said we
have discussed this in the past as the Commission has expressed concern about the safety

Page 2 of 3 COMMISSION WORKSHOP MEETING December 9, 2013
Pembroke Pines case and Assistant City Attorney Klahr talked about the ruling that was
handed down in favor of Pembroke Pines and how it can impact Tamarac as well as other
cities. Assistant City Attorney Klahr went over in great detail what the Pembroke Pines ruling
and Ordinance encompassed and stressed that before Tamarac can pass a similar ordinance
there needs to be an analysis conducted to determine when and where there is in fact a
safety concern. Staff needs to study and analyze the data and come forward with a
recommendation to restrict such activity in certain areas in Tamarac. Assistant City Attorney
Klahr said that at Wednesdays meeting City Attorney Goren will provide more information to
the Commission on this subject and seek direction from the Commission to move forward and
study the matter before enacting an ordinance should they choose to move forward.
