REPORTS
8. City Commission: Vice Mayor Roberts thanked the Mayor and Commissioners
for sponsoring the BRACE Scholarship Program. Two Tamarac High School
Graduates will receive college scholarships. Vice Mayor Roberts wished a happy
anniversary to Commissioner and Mrs. Sultanof.
Commissioner Partner said some weeks ago two Tamarac residents paid for work to be
done to their bathroom and the builder took the money but did not do the work. After a
call to County Commissioner Lieberman, Arvida was contacted and they did the
necessary work on the bathroom gratis. Commissioner Portner thanked Commissioner
Lieberman, the City of Tamarac and Arvida for their efforts on behalf of the Tamarac
residents.
Commissioner Sultanof thanked Vice Mayor Roberts for her anniversary wishes.
Commissioner Sultanof said census forms are no longer being given out; the census
people are now going door to door to get the necessary information. Every individual
counts for $1,500, and in 1990 Florida lost $2.2 billion due to people not being counted
in the census. Commissioner Sultanof extended kudos to City Manager Miller and
Community Development Director King for their efforts to entice and bring quality
partnerships to Tamarac Commerce Park.
Commissioner Mishkin had no report.
Mayor Schreiber had no report.
