King said in accordance with the Tamarac Code, all are open spaces for all stores in
the shopping center. On rare occasions the City has allowed several parking spaces
to be designated, however, there has been no request from the developer of this
center for designated spaces. Vice Mayor Roberts asked if the New York Italian
Buffet is on the same side as Ziti's, which also serves Italian food, and Mr. Morell said
the two would not be in direct competition. Mayor Schreiber asked if there is an
additional charge because they will be using more plumbing and Mr. Morell said the
rates are based on size. Commissioner Flansbaum-Talabisco asked if liquor would be
served, and Mr. Morell responded beer and wine. Commissioner Portner asked if any
more restaurants would be coming into the plaza and Mr. Morell explained there are

the lease is not finalized. The space between Einstein Brothers and Quiznos is retail
and the 4,000 sq. ft. next to Petco is retail. Mayor Schreiber opened the public
hearing and Sam Schwartz, Concorde Village, spoke about parking problems at the

END OF QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARINGS
END OF PUBLIC HEARINGS
Mayor Schreiber spoke about Item 6(I), which was tabled to August 27, 2003, at or
after 9:00 a.m., and indicated that he was not happy with the evaluation committee's
work on the RFP. Mayor Schreiber added that he felt Tamarac is not getting the
money it should be getting from advertising revenues and spoke of the difference in
what the City receives now and the vendors' proposals. Mayor Schreiber said he is
interested in what is best for Tamarac, and he feels the City should select a bench that
is already in use elsewhere and that is what the vendors should bid on. Vice Mayor
Roberts said the committee wanted a bench that was unique to Tamarac, and if the
commissioners did not want what was proposed they should have voted no, not tabled
the item. Mayor Schreiber responded that he had discussed his concerns with the
City Manager and the alternative of tabling the item. City Manager Miller said the
process was handled well by staff, and he would be happy to address the matter.
Commissioner Flansbaum-Talabisco added that she thought discussion on this would
be held at a workshop since it was tabled. Commissioner Flansbaum-Talabisco said
she knows the amount of work that goes into the process; staff has integrity, and the
Commission should trust staff's judgment. Commissioner Sultanof said no one is
chastising staff; they work well, but it would be derelict on the Commission's part not
to ask questions.
There being no further business to come before the City Commission, Mayor
Schreiber adjourned the regular meeting at 10:30 a.m.
