2. City Commission: Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco thanked Commissioner Portner
for suggesting we bring the first road show to Lakes of Carriage Hills. This Commission
started working together one year ago and it has been a phenomenal year and
wonderful things have happened in Tamarac. This Commission respects each other
and works well together. We all care about Tamarac and Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco
said she could not be more grateful or appreciative working with this group of people.
Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco announced the City Manager is in Orlando today as he has
been appointed to the Florida League of City Managers. There are many challenges
coming out of Tallahassee and an article in today's newspaper mentioned Tamarac and
Financial Services Director Chapman. As of today, Tamarac's hit due to tax reform is
over $7 million, and there is talk of a special session in Tallahassee. Tamarac won the
Government Leadership Award for the Arts; this past four years the Commission
stepped up visibility in bringing art programs to Tamarac. We will receive the award this
May. Saturday there will be an ArtServe program at the Tamarac Community Center
beginning at 4:00 p.m. consisting of two hours of dance presented by TranZenDance,
April 11, 2007
Page 1 of 9
which will consist of Flamenco, Tango, Mid Eastern Dance, Modern Jazz, and
Contemporary Dance. The program is free to the public.
Commissioner Portner said seven years ago he proposed taking the Commission
meetings on the road and he was opposed at that time. Three years ago the
Commission agreed to taking government to the people. It is a pleasure to see so many
people at this meeting. With regard to the show on Saturday evening at the Tamarac
Community Center, since many people do not drive, if the residents contact the
President of Lakes of Carriage Hills, perhaps arrangements can be made for bus
transportation to take residents from Lakes of Carriage Hills to Tamarac Community
Center and back.
Commissioner Atkins -Grad said it is a pleasure to be here and see so many people in
the audience. Commissioner Atkins -Grad said the Twilight Concert will be held on
Friday night, from 7:00 p.m. — 9:00 p.m. featuring a Blues Band. The concert will be at
the Sports Complex and there will be free food and a bounce house.
Vice Mayor Sultanof said he is delighted to see this many people in the audience, and it
is a wonderful thing to bring government to the people. Tamarac is the only City in
Broward County that does this for its residents. Tamarac is also the only City in
Broward County that hosts a Veterans Assembly, which will be held on April 25t". Vice
Mayor Sultanof said 1,500 veterans are dying each day. Tamarac is the fastest growing
City in Broward County and it is important that people know about our Social Services
Division, which provides transportation to medical appointments. Vice Mayor Sultanof
said he is liaison to the Social Services Board. Vice Mayor Sultanof spoke of the
Aquatic Center and said many people, both young and old, do not know how to swim;
lessons are available at the Aquatic Center. The land was donated to the City by the
Caporella family. Vice Mayor Sultanof said it is important to recognize who you are; this
City belongs to the residents and local government is here for you.
Commissioner Dressler thanked the Lakes of Carriage Hills for their hospitality and
added there is a value taking the Commission meeting into the community and sharing
ourselves with the residents. It gives the residents a better feel for what the
Commission does. This past year has been an incredible learning experience, and the
consent agenda reflects the many different areas worked on by staff; staff carries out
the Mayor and City Commission's policies. Commissioner Dressler spoke of the item to
be added to the consent agenda as 6(I) supporting the House Bill sponsored by
Representative Ad Porth and Senator Jeremy Ring, prohibiting investments in
retirement plans with any company with ties to terrorist states. Commissioner Dressler
said Representative Porth sends his regards and thanks Tamarac for supporting the
Bill.
Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said the Mayor and City Commission have wonderful
spouses, who support our work for Tamarac. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco
acknowledged Helen Portner and Jack Talabisco, who were in the audience. Mayor
Flansbaum-Talabisco acknowledged City Attorney Goren who has represented
Tamarac very well.

3. City Attorne City Attorney Goren reported on HB825, which if adopted will
liberalize to some extent the circumstances for shade sessions. City Attorney Goren
discussed the pending annexation and spoke of the mail ballot election for Boniello
Gardens and the Bill that is on a parallel path in Tallahassee. There will be a public
hearing on Saturday, which City Attorney Goren and Economic Development Officer
Berns will attend. If the Bill passes in Tallahassee, annexation for the commercial areas
will take place in September 2008. City Attorney Goren discussed the Red Light
Camera Bill which is pending this session, which, if passed, would do what the Mayor
and City Commission has been asking for to allow local government to decide to adopt
an ordinance embracing red light cameras. Commissioner Portner said he is against
this Bill because if someone drives another person's car and goes through a red light,
the owner of the car will be ticketed. Commissioner Portner said he would support the
Bill if there were a way to identify the driver of the vehicle and ticket the offender. City
Attorney Goren said these concerns have been addressed in the Bill.
Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco acknowledged Ralph Baer, representing Senator Jeremy
Ring.
4. City Manager: Deputy City Manager Cernech said Parks and Recreation reports
summer camp packets are available at Tamarac Community Center and the Recreation
Center; camp is open to children ages 5 — 12 and sessions will be held June 4th —
August 10th. Peter Cottontail Wet and Wild Egg Hunt was held at the Aquatic Center on
March 315t — it was a sold out event! Spring Fest was held on April 7th with 450 in
attendance. There was an egg hunt, games and snacks. The Tamarac Twilight
Concert Series continues on April 13th at the Tamarac Sports Complex from 7:00 p.m. —
9:00 p.m. ArtServe will sponsor a free dance show on April 14th at the Tamarac
Community Center. Seating is limited. There will be a Teen Summit for ages 12 — 17
on April 215t from 9:00 a.m. — 3:00 p.m.
Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco moved out of the order of items on the agenda to return to
Item 1(a), as Ms. Bartleman arrived. Ms. Bartleman said she is School Board Member
at Large and thanked the Mayor and City Commission for their concerns about schools
and education. Ms. Bartleman said she can be reached via e-mail
rbartleman or7browardschaals.com and gave her home phone number 954-389-0825
and cell phone number 954-242-7212. Ms. Bartleman said this is a great Commission.
Ms. Bartleman said Broward has the fourth largest school district in the country, with a
$4 billion budget and they are concerned about what is happening in Tallahassee. We
need to strike a balance but not at the cost of services or our children. Ms. Bartleman
said the School Board would soon decide when to begin the search for a new
Superintendent.
Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said Tamarac staff began setting up for tonight's meeting
at 3:00 p.m. today and thanked Public Works, I.T. and the City Clerk's office for their
efforts. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco asked anyone who wished to speak during public
participation to please come to the microphone.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
5. Barry Koltun, 5713 NW 67 Terrace spoke about utility charges for snowbirds. Mr.
Koltun distributed a debt service coverage ratio calculation for fiscal year 2007 and a
copy of his water bill (copies are attached hereto and incorporated as part of these
minutes).
Claudia Krysiak, 4965 E Sabal Palm #212 asked if Tamarac signed the U.S. Mayors
Climate Protection Agreement and asked what Tamarac is doing to help with
environmental issues. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said the agreement was signed by
Former Mayor Schreiber with the consent of the Commission and it was signed again
this year with support of the Commission. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said she
belongs to the US Conference of Mayors and last August attended a summit aimed
toward climate and greening. There will be a special workshop to discuss mechanisms
appropriate for Tamarac with regard to these areas. Tamarac has been touted in the
newspaper for water conservation efforts. At our last workshop we were informed by
Director of Utilities Gagnon that Tamarac has reduced its water consumption by 20%
over the last year. Additionally, we have sign boards on Commercial Boulevard asking
people to conserve water. Commissioner Atkins -Grad said her first initiative as an
elected official was to get people to stop wasting water, especially in restaurants, where
water was placed on tables whether the customer wanted it or not. Mayor Flansbaum-
Talabisco said other cities have followed Tamarac's lead in this area. Vice Mayor
Sultanof said if residents call the Utilities Department, they will send someone out to
show residents how to handle water conservation in their homes. We are doing a great
job handling water in Tamarac and we have the best water in five states. Commissioner
Portner said he has requested that the cleaning crew use green products when cleaning
City Hall. Commissioner Portner suggested when eating out, people question whether
Trans Fats are used in cooking. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said in addition to
cleaning products we will also be using stationery and paper goods made from recycled
materials. Commissioner Dressler said there are a long list of approaches being taken
by City staff and the Mayor and City Commission. We supported legislation from U.S.
Senators Nelson and Martinez regarding fixing the dike at Lake Okeechobee. A lot of
time and energy has gone into planning for five, 10, and 20 years out making sure our
infrastructure is in place for drinkable water, and making sure we have the ability to
access water in the Floridian Aquifer. Water in the Floridian Aquifer is not as clean as
that of the Biscayne Aquifer, and it will need to be treated. We will try to encourage
greening in new construction. Commissioner Dressler spoke of the LEEDS Program,
wherein buildings would meet environmental standards and be ecologically sound and
safe. Commissioner Dressler said Tamarac is dedicated to the environment.

Temporary Resolution 11172 as item 6(I) to the consent agenda. SUPPORTING

items on the consent agenda. City Attorney Goren read Temporary Resolution 11172
by title.
Commissioner Portner asked to pull Item 6(g) for discussion. Assistant City Manager
Phillips gave a presentation. Commissioner Portner urged everyone to call
Representative Porth and Senator Ring to oppose the Bills. Commissioner Dressler
thanked Commissioner Portner for pulling the item from the consent agenda for
discussion and said these types of Bills allow corporations to provide services to rich
people and not to poor people. It creates a have/have not society, which is not the
democratic way. Commissioner Dressler said he is opposed to any Bill that demeans
the access for middle class, fixed income, or low income people. Commissioner
Dressler said Senator Ring can be reached at 850-487-5094, in Tallahassee. On roll

systems. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco confirmed without the projects, these
improvements would not be made and confirmed traffic would be addressed at the time

approval process and Community Development Director Bramley said City of Tamarac,

In accordance with its bond covenants, Utilities operating revenues must be Suffcient to cover
operating expenses. After operating expenses are covered, operating revenues must also cover 110%
of debt service (principal and interest on the bonds) for the year. This assures bondholders that the
Utility has sufficient funds to pay them the amount due in the upcoming year. The schedule above
demonstrates coverage at 182% of debt service well over the 110% requirement in the FY 06 Budget.
Operating revenues plus CIAO charges less operating expenses must cover 120% of debt service.
Since CIAC charges are not budgeted, that ratio is not shown in here.
