REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION
Commissioner Roberts said the Chamber was given a $35,000 grant this year, and
while the Chamber is a vital and important part of the city, she is concerned that waiving
the rental fee will open the door for other organizations. Mayor Schreiber said the
Chamber is a vital organization that generates activities and interest of the public and
businesses, and promotes the city. The Chamber has had a difficult time with funding
and cannot be compared to charitable organizations. Vice Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco
said she understands Commissioner Roberts' concern, and while setting precedent
could be a problem, the Mayor and City Commission should deal with things on a case
by case basis. The Chamber is a vital part of what we do and the Chamber forum is
important to the growth of small businesses. Interim Assistant City Attorney Klahr read
Temporary Resolution 10696 by title. ROOM ,RENTAL FEES WAIVER -- TAMARAC

Subject: Mr. Michael Scott
To whom it may concern
My name is Zena Gullapalli and I have been a Tamarac resident since 1976. On many occasions I have had to deal with city
employees and it was not always a pleasant endeavor.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to a young man by the name of Michael Scott. His position with our city is with the
Code Enforcement Department. As a long time resident I have had my share of encounters with the many code enforcement
officers this city has had and all I can say is that I am very glad to see that the quality and professionalism of its personnel has
reached the level it should have always been. It was very surprising to me that when I called the code enforcement office for
information that I actually spoke to a person who listened to what I was asking and responded in a polite and informative way.
To my surprise, this young man, Michael Scott came to my home and spoke with me about my concerns.
Several days later Mr. Scott showed up at my front door with several pieces of a well planned out wooden ramp so that I might get
my wheelchair and electric scooter in and out of my front door. Due to the fact that I had mentioned how I was not able to afford
the contractors estimated cost of building a ramp, this very kind young man took it upon himself to try and help me. He went and
bought the building materials, took his personal time to measure and put together a wooden ramp, and if that wasn't enough, he
then came out to install it. All of this was done at his expense and personal time. I am simply amazed by his kindness. This goes
beyond any job expectation.
I am hoping that this man will receive special recognition for being an exceptional city employee as well as an example to the rest
of us. It is very rare that people take the time to say thank you and I can only say that as a Tamarac resident I am proud to see
the type of person our City is now employing.
I would appreciate a response from a city official as to what I can do to publicly thank this very kind young man
Sincerely,
Zena Gullapalli
