Vice Mayor Roberts moved approval. Mayor Schreiber opened the public hearing and
the following people spoke against the Public Service Tax on Electricity: Marvin Seidel,
9645 N Belfort, Myra Ludmer, 7580 Black Olive Way, Eileen Froehlich, 10621 NW 71
Court, Dr. Fritz Froehlich, 10621 NW 71 Court, A. Michelson, 7735 NW 78 Court,
Sherida Falitz, 8098 Royal Palm Circle, Dr. Larry Bender, 8100 Nutmeg Way, Burton

Schneider, Fairhaven 11, and Piazzio lorio. With no one else wishing to speak, Mayor
Schreiber closed the public hearing.
Vice Mayor Roberts said she was glad to hear all the comments, but felt some residents
are misinformed. Vice Mayor Roberts said the Proposed Public Service Tax is just that,
a proposed option. Tamarac is one of four cities out of 30 in Broward County that do
not have a utility tax. Vice Mayor Roberts said she checked her own FPL bill and found
out that it would be cheaper for a 1-mil ad valorem increase than the Public Service
Tax. Vice Mayor Roberts said she asked for a public hearing for informational
purposes, and the Proposed Ordinance was advertised.
Commissioner Sultanof said he and his colleagues are honorable and serve the City
well. Commissioner Sultanof said he has the same feelings as the residents of
Tamarac. Commissioner Sultanof said all the Commissioners do a good job and no
one on the Commission is a spendthrift. This Commission will continue to provide
services to the community, and the Commission will do the right thing for the residents
and citizens of Tamarac.
Commissioner Portner said he supports the Utility Tax. Commissioner Portner said
many people in Tamarac pay no tax at all, and he represents the district that pays very
little. Commissioner Portner said he feels it is unfair for everyone not to participate if
there are taxes involved.
Mayor Schreiber said he wants to hear from the public. Mayor Schreiber said he has
been an elected official since 1992, and during the last five years there have been no

tax increases. Prior to that he voted against increases. Now there are more services
provided and more things needed in the City, but the Commission will try to keep costs
down.

Portner "yes", and Mayor Schreiber "no". Motion failed.

would have to leave the meeting.
