a. Vice Mayor Bushnell: Vice Mayor Bushnell said Tamarac partners with Broward County for
the Adopt -A -Street program and two participating members are Relay For Life and the
Kiwanis Club. However, the Adopt -A -Street Program only takes place quarterly and Mr.
Gbur's idea to start up a program for residents to join to go out and pick up garbage is a great
idea. Mr. Gbur said he would be happy to champion this program. Vice Mayor Bushnell said
there are a lot of exciting things coming up next year in Tamarac and for people to keep an
eye out for announcements.

from all over the world attending to see what South Florida can offer. Commissioner Gomez
said she is looking forward to the Taste of Tamarac Kick Off Event on September 17th from

of Tamarac. Commissioner Glasser said she attended a recent University Board meeting.
Commissioner Glasser disclosed that she met with Attorney Scott Backman on September 3rd
and 9th regarding the Central Parc South project.
d. Commissioner Placko: Commissioner Placko said while people were preparing for tropical
storm Erika there were various community associations that sent out emails to residents to
see if they needed any help. Commissioner Placko said she thought it was incredible that
these communities wanted to take care of their own residents as we all have people that
need help. Commissioner Placko suggested that this should be discussed at the next HOA
Liaison meeting to get other communities to do the same thing. Commissioner Placko invited
people to attend the dedication of the Flag Retirement Box at Veteran's Park on Sunday,
September 13th at 10:00 a.m.
e. Mayor Dressler: Mayor Dressler commented on how well this Commission works together.
Mayor Dressler said he attended the Broward League of Cities Board of Directors meeting
and Broward County Commissioner Marty Kiar gave a presentation about legislation that he
wants to bring to the County Commission. This legislation would make possession of
marijuana a misdemeanor instead of a felony. This legislation is supported by Sheriff Scott
Israel and State Attorney Mike Satz. Mayor Dressler said he personally felt possession of
marijuana should be decriminalized. Mayor Dressler said he has been on a few conference
calls with various Mayors, Homeland Security and White House personnel where they talked
about terrorist groups raising money through the sale of drugs. Mayor Dressler said after
Broward County does something it would come back to the Commission for further
discussion.
Mayor Dressler said he was pleased to accept two checks recently. One on behalf of the
Tamarac Firefighters Retirement Trust Fund for a little over $554,000 and one for the
Tamarac Police Officers Retirement Trust Fund for a little over $465,000. This money comes
from insurance premiums and is paid in order to keep the funds viable.
3. CITY ATTORNEY REPORT: City Attorney Goren said at the September 3`d Broward
League of Cities meeting that one of the items considered was the proposed revised Broward
County Ethics Ordinance by the Ethics Task. The revisions were approved unanimously.
City Attorney Goren said he will provide copies to the Commission as it evolves. It is
anticipated that County Attorney Drew Myers will present this to the Broward County
Commission in early October. These revisions clarify some of the many issues that were
raised. City Attorney Goren said the Mayor of Cooper City made the motion and was
seconded by the Mayor of Pembroke Pines and there was no debate or any suggestions. City
Attorney Goren said he will keep the Commission informed as the proposal progresses.
Page 2 of 9 REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING September 9, 2015
Mayor Dressler asked for a presentation of the proposed revisions at a future workshop. Vice
Mayor Bushnell said the changes do not diminish the Ethics Ordinance in any way. City
Attorney Goren said that once the Broward League of Cities Board of Directors approved the
recommended changes, it then goes to the Office of the Inspector General for review and his
comments/suggestions, if any, and then before the County Commission.
4. CITY MANAGER REPORT: City Manager Cernech said Mainlands Park and the Sports
Complex Synthetic Turf field have been selected for the Florida Recreation and Park
Association Facility Showcase Award which recognizes some of the best new facilities in the
State of Florida.
Upcoming Events: There will be a dedication of the new Flag Retirement Box at Veteran's
Park on September 13th at 10:00 a.m. and the 6th Annual Play Day is on September 17th from

City Manager Cernech said Public Services advised that the Spyglass Community Pipe
Bursting Project is estimated to begin in October. This project will replace 4,095 linear feet of
2 to 6 inch cast iron water mains with 6 and 8 inch high -density polyethylene water mains. It
is anticipated to be completed in March 2016. The Public Works/Building Dept. Emergency
Generator Project is considered substantially completed with a few minor Punch List Items
remaining.
City Manager Cernech said that over the Labor Day weekend three people were killed in a
car accident in Tallahassee. Two of the three are Tamarac Residents and all three had ties
to the Parks & Recreation Department. Vicenzo Libio was a Tamarac resident and had
worked at Tamarac's summer camp for the last 7 years. As a child he also attended
Tamarac summer camp. Vincenzo also was a member of the Tamarac Little League and his
father also serviced on the Little League Executive Board for a number of years. Vincenzo
had been hired to work at the summer camp this past summer but chose instead to do an
internship at FAU following his graduation from FSU. Last week Vincenzo had applied for a
position in the Parks & Recreation Department and was considered a strong candidate for
that position. Coral Springs resident Morgan Carr also worked for the Parks & Recreation
Department at the summer camp for 4 years. Kevin Boos, a Tamarac resident, also played
for the Tamarac Little League from T Ball thru Senior Ball; umpired for 3 years and
volunteered with the league in various capacities after graduating from high school. Kevin's
father also served on the Little League Board for a number of years. Parks & Recreation
Director Warner and his staff are talking about an appropriate way to honor these three
young people who tragically lost their lives. Staff will be back before the Commission shortly
to suggest the appropriate way to recognize these three young people's significant
contributions to the Parks & Recreation Department.
City Manager Cernech said a bad motorcycle accident occurred in Tamarac. The rider lost
one of his legs. Due to the fast work of a BSO Deputy he would have bled out and died. BSO
has their own way to honor their deputies and Captain Glassman is involved in that. Staff will
also be coming up with a way to recognize this deputy and will keep the Commission
apprised of this as it progresses.
