PRESENT: Mayor Beth Flansbaum-Talabisco, Vice Mayor Edward C. Portner, Commissioner Patte Atkins -Grad, Commissioner Marc L. Sultanof, and Commissioner Harry Dressler. ALSO PRESENT: City Manager Jeffrey L. Miller, Assistant City Attorney Julie Klahr, and City Clerk Marion Swenson. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco led the pledge of allegiance. 1. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REPORT ON LAST YEAR'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND PROPOSED PROJECTS FOR FY07: Vicki Reid, Chamber Executive Director and Don Fallenbaum, Chamber Chair appeared. Mr. Fallenbaum spoke of increased membership over the past three years and said the Chamber's success is a result of the City's support. Ms. Reid spoke about the past year's successes, programs and services offered by the Chamber, and future goals. Ms. Reid thanked Economic Development Officer Berns, Director of Parks and Recreation Warner and City Manager Miller for being so helpful to the Chamber and for the participation of their staff, and thanked the Mayor and City Commission for their continued support. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said Ms. Reid's presentation was most professional and positive. Commissioner Sultanof said the Taste of Tamarac was very well done. Vice Mayor Portner thanked the Chamber for the Taste of Tamarac, commended the Chamber on the meeting held at Taravella High School, and said the Chamber has his full support. Commissioner Dressler congratulated the Chamber for its leadership. Commissioner Atkins -Grad said the Taste of Tamarac was wonderful and the Chamber is part of Team Tamarac. 2. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION RE: DESIGN FOR PHASE I — SOUTHGATE LINEAR PARK: Director of Parks and Recreation Warner and Public Works Director Strain appeared. Director of Parks and Recreation Warner said the project should be completed by January 2008. Commissioner Sultanof questioned federal mandates for park acreage per 1,000 people and City Manager Miller said that is set by the Department of Community Affairs and our Comprehensive Plan addresses the number of open space acres per population, which at this time is about three acres per thousand people. Commissioner Sultanof asked if the City tapped into federal funding for this project, and expressed concern about parking, controls and landscape maintenance. Commissioner Sultanof said Mr. Yellen expressed a desire to become involved in the public art portion of the project. Vice Mayor Portner asked why it has November 06, 2006 City Commission Workshop Page 1 of 9 taken so long to get the project going and Director of Parks and Recreation Warner said there were some holdups via funding sources, the design consultant and the hurricane. Vice Mayor Portner asked if there will be a barrier along the canal, lighting on Southgate Boulevard, barbeque pits, and questioned the type of trees planned for the project and their height. Director of Parks and Recreation Warner said due to the fact the SFWMD needs clear access to the canal no barrier will be put up. Public Works Director Strain added the lighting belongs to FPL but the City pays for it and the lights will be on from dusk to dawn, as usual; Cyprus trees ranging in height from 8' to 12' will be planted, and the park will close at sunset. Director of Parks and Recreation Warner said there will be barbeque pits at the group picnic shelters. Commissioner Dressler expressed concern regarding parking and suggested the park be used for some type of Sunday Jazz Fest similar to that held in Ft. Lauderdale, and also suggested the Twilight Concert Series be held in the park. Public Works Director Strain said 60 parking spaces were added in the reconfiguration of the design and if concerts are held in the park we could consider bussing people to the park as we do for other events. Director of Parks and Recreation Warner explained that for the recent concert held at the Sunset Point Park, more attendees arrived than were expected. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said there are a number of events where we provide community buses. Commissioner Dressler said the project ties into our strategic plan for the City as an upscale City, and he would like to see people utilize the park to its highest and best function. Commissioner Atkins -Grad said this is very exciting and asked how far east the project will go; Director of Parks and Recreation Warner said it will go to Nob Hill. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco questioned safety when the park is closed since it is not fenced in, and Director of Parks and Recreation Warner said a BSO detail patrols other facilities at night and they will add this park to their rounds. Parks and Recreation staff will also be on the grounds at dusk, and will help clear out the park. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said she hoped if someone is taking a walk along the canal or Southgate Boulevard after sunset, they would be permitted to continue their walk, and added she is happy to see the second restroom was added to the design. Commissioner Dressler asked BSO Chief Dugger if he sees anything that needs to be changed for safety purposes and BSO Chief Dugger replied looking at it from a law enforcement standpoint, it can become an attractive nuisance after hours. There was discussion regarding the pros and cons of addin� lighting to the park at night. Commissioner Sultanof asked how the Nature Park on 80t is patrolled and BSO Chief Dugger said when the park is open there is a random bike patrol in the area. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said this will be a spectacular amenity of which Tamarac can be very proud, and asked about public phones in the restrooms. Public Works Director Strain said they are not included in the plan. 3. DISCUSSION RE: CULVERT IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AT NW 81st AVENUE: Public Works Director Strain and Purchasing/Contracts Manager Glatz appeared. Public Works Director Strain said this item is being fast tracked; bids were opened Friday. The damage to the retaining wall was discovered while removing debris left behind from Hurricane Wilma, and the City asked NRCS, the federal agency funding the Westwood culvert repair, for additional funding to repair this culvert. The money must be used by the end of this year. The city will get 75% funding and the lowest November 06, 2006 City Commission Workshop Page 2 of 9 qualified bidder came in at $44,555; we have used this contractor previously. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco asked for an expression of interest to add this item to the consent agenda on Wednesday and all were in agreement. 4. NOVEMBER 08, 2006 AGENDA ITEMS: a. Item No. 60). RENEWAL AGREEMENT — LOBBYING SERVICES — RUSS REID COMPANY: (TR11090) Executing Amendment No. 1 to the agreement between the City of Tamarac and the Russ Reid Company, for Federal Lobbying Services. Mark McIntyre, Michelle Marino, and Ken Lawson, of the Russ Reid Company appeared. Mr. McIntyre reported funding has been secured for two projects and the return on the City's investment is approximately 7-1. This year the City will receive $700,000 in line item grants. Tamarac did what it was asked to do and there was a lot of hard work involved. Ms. Marino recapped the past 11 months' work and said requests were put in to Capitol Hill for the Pine Island Road Pedestrian Overpass, Tamarac Recreation Center Expansion, and Emergency Preparedness Technology Upgrades. Meetings were held and support letters from the community were received. The results were $610,000 for the Pine Island Road Pedestrian Overpass and $100,000 for the Tamarac Recreation Center Expansion. Mr. Lawson spoke of the Emergency Preparedness Technology Upgrades and said this was the third and final request from the City of Tamarac, but it was not included in the Bill. It is his understanding that a number of cities brought forth this type of request and there is a backlog on fulfilling these requests from the same pool of money. He communicated the needs of Tamarac for Emergency Preparedness Technology Upgrades and received positive feedback from our Champions; there is a good opportunity to return next year for this same request. Mr. McIntyre said it is highly strategic; as opposed to putting all eggs in one basket to have multi -projects. After tomorrow, Election Day, there may be changes regarding funding. Ms. Marino said continuing support letters from the community are crucial as the letters arm the Champions with the background they need. There may be increased funding available for the Pedestrian Overpass, Recreation Center or Emergency Preparedness Technology Upgrades and the more support, the better position Tamarac will be in next year. Potential projects are Main Street Development, Parking Structures, and the rest of the funding requested this year. Mr. McIntyre said the Russ Reid Company makes honest funding requests and if the city does not get fully funded the Company goes back and asks for the rest. Vice Mayor Portner questioned earmarks and Mr. McIntyre explained earmarks come out of appropriation Bills. Each subcommittee chairman gets an allocation and decides whether to put the money into earmarks or not. Earmarks do not contribute to the federal budget deficit; they are taken out of existing available money. Congress has the sole power over the federal purse. Vice Mayor Portner said his priority is the Main Street Project, and asked Mr. McIntyre what the City paid the company this year. Mr. McIntyre said $120,000 plus 2% - 3% for expenses. Commissioner Dressler said he is pleased to hear the pipeline is getting filled up and we are working together as a team; Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco and Vice Mayor Portner took the time to work with the Russ Reid Company in Washington. Commissioner Dressler asked when we would see the money and spoke of variance of risk. Mr. November 06, 2006 City Commission Workshop Page 3 of 9 McIntyre replied in his experience over the last 20 years, he would be surprised if the $100,000 earmark and $610,000 earmark do not emerge from the legislation process because of where the City of Tamarac is now. When the legislature finishes its process, if they have not made ends meet, they will make some de minimus across the board cuts; and if that occurs Tamarac's $710,000 will be reduced by that de minimus amount. Once the Bills are signed into law the money should reach Tamarac by the 2nd quarter of next year. Commissioner Dressler said this is a complex process but he is delighted to hear what Mr. McIntyre said and he is also surprised we have done as well as we have so soon. Mr. McIntyre said the first year is the most difficult; during years two and beyond relationships will have been made and the city's credibility will have been established. Commissioner Dressler said this is a complex legislative/financial system and questioned key timing points and asked what we can do in addition to what we have already done to reinforce our success. Ms. Marino said the city has to come up with a list of priorities and the requests will be submitted on the Hill. The Mayor or Vice Mayor will need to return to the Hill in February or March to present Tamarac's priorities to the members. Mr. McIntyre said the calendar is Tamarac's friend; we have a chance to win for Tamarac next year in December, but we need more community support and we must continue to build relationships with Hill staff. Commissioner Dressler said the more successful we are the higher the benchmark. Commissioner Sultanof said he is delighted to be working with the Russ Reid Company and he is very happy with the $710,000 they have obtained for the City. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said today's report quieted any skepticism the Mayor and City Commission may have had and Main Street should be the focus of next year's efforts. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco referenced a meeting on the Hill during her last visit to Washington and said City Manager Miller did a fabulous job explaining the Emergency Preparedness Technology Upgrades, and she thinks we have a good shot at getting funding during the coming year. This new commission is out and about at all types if meetings for elected officials at the state, county and federal levels, and others see Tamarac with new eyes; the more relationship building that goes on, the better for Tamarac. b. Item No. 6(d). INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH BROWARD COUNTY — CYPRESS CREEK GREENWAY: (TR11080) Executing an Interlocal Agreement with Broward County for the construction and maintenance of the Cypress Creek Greenway. Director of Parks and Recreation Warner appeared, gave a presentation, and said the County will design and construct the Greenway and the City will maintain the area that falls within the City of Tamarac. We currently maintain the portion we have constructed. The new portion will be east of University Drive and will contain a multi -purpose path, benches, landscaping and signage. Vice Mayor Portner questioned the staff memo and the fact that the fiscal impact is unknown at this time. Director of Parks and Recreation Warner explained the direct cost is difficult to pinpoint, but he could submit an estimate which will be within $1,000 - $2,000 of the actual cost to maintain the Greenway. Commissioner Sultanof questioned $383,000 previously discussed by Broward County Commissioner Jacobs and Mr. Horowitz, Greenway Coordinator. Director of Parks and Recreation Warner said he is aware of $175,000 from the County to reimburse Tamarac for what the City has already done. Commissioner Dressler said the Mayor and City November 06, 2006 City Commission Workshop Page 4 of 9 Commission should not be asked to make policy decisions unless the fiscal impact is included, and City Manager Miller said in the future staff will put together an estimate and designate it as such if we do not have an exact cost. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco asked if the Mayor and City Commission would have the information before Wednesday's meeting and Director of Parks and Recreation Warner said they would. C. Item No. 6(e). GREENWAY CORRIDOR PROJECT: (TR11081) Supporting Broward County in their efforts to secure permits from the South Florida Water Management District to develop the Greenway Corridor Project within the City of Tamarac; acknowledging the City's commitment to various areas of applicant responsibility in maintaining the landscaping and other facilities of the Greenway Corridor Project within the City of Tamarac to the satisfaction of the South Florida Water Management District. Director of Parks and Recreation Warner appeared and said the SFWMD is the permitting agency for the Greenway Project. This Resolution shows support for Broward County's efforts in going forward with the project, which is one of the requirements from the SFWMD. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco questioned the fiscal impact and Director of Parks and Recreation Warner said it will be covered in the previous Resolution. d. Item No. 6(g). RIGHT OF WAY REFORESTATION PROJECT: (TR11093) Awarding Bid #06-31 B and executing an Agreement with Concho Horticultural, Inc. for the purchase of trees for an amount not to exceed $75,000.00 from the appropriate accounts; authorizing budget amendments for proper accounting purposes. Public Works Director Strain and Purchasing/Contracts Manager Glatz appeared. Public Works Director Strain said the grant was awarded 14 days after Hurricane Wilma and the money is being redirected from Southgate Boulevard for tree replacement throughout the entire city. Staff will plant the trees to replace trees damaged by Wilma. Vice Mayor Portner questioned the financial impact and the 25% match. Public Works Director Strain said it would not be a cash match, but we will use our labor to match. Commissioner Dressler asked how much of the $75,000 is earmarked for District 4 and Public Works Director Strain responded $16,000 for trees; District 1, $19,000 for trees. Commissioner Dressler spoke of a meeting several months ago with people in District 4 and said it is his recollection Public Works Director Strain indicated nothing would be replaced until the people are made aware of what will be planted. Additionally, residents had asked for Palm Trees. Public Works Director Strain said the grant will not pay for Palm Trees; only shade trees. The City is in the process of applying for other grants; however, most do not allow for Palm Trees. Commissioner Dressler said this constitutes unrealized expectations on the part of the residents and asked, through the City Manager, that Public Works Director Strain call and educate the residents regarding the trees. Public Works Director Strain explained if a shade tree is destroyed by a storm it would take four Palm Trees to replace the tree; he would contact the residents. Commissioner Dressler said Palm Trees were planted as part of the 70tn Street Traffic Calming Project. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco suggested once the residents understand the issue they may be flexible. Commissioner Sultanof explained the County wants hardwood trees that provide a canopy to replace damaged trees. November 06, 2006 City Commission Workshop Page 5 of 9 Commissioner Sultanof asked how much is being appropriated for District 3 and Public Works Director Strain said $22,000; for District 2, $11,000. Commissioner Atkins -Grad said the community recently did some landscaping but did not have proper irrigation, and questioned the irrigation for the reforestation. Public Works Director Strain said everything the City puts in is properly irrigated. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco moved out of the regular order of business on the workshop agenda to take up Item 5. 5. DISCUSSION RE: APPOINTMENT OF TWO VOTING DELEGATES TO THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES: Assistant City Manager Phillips appeared and said this is a request from the national League of Cities for voting delegates for the conference being held next month. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco called for an expression of interest and all were in agreement that Commissioner Dressler be the voting delegate with Commissioner Atkins -Grad the alternate voting delegate. Commissioner Dressler accepted with the proviso he would be able to fly to the meeting Friday evening and leave Saturday after the business meeting. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco called for a recess at 11:25 a.m. and reconvened the workshop meeting at 11:40 a.m. with all present as before. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco questioned Item 6(b) on the consent agenda and said in the past all Tamarac Schools, including the Charter School had been contacted with regard to whether they had a need for our surplus computers. Additionally, this year Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco was contacted by Neighbors Assisting Neighbors, who said they also had a need for computers. I.T. Director Sucuoglu explained as we move forward with the replacement project, once we determine how many computers are in a condition to be donated, he will come back before the Mayor and City Commission so they can decide how best to distribute the computers. Vice Mayor Portner asked if employees are allowed to avail themselves of these computers and City Manager Miller said no, and explained there is an employee computer purchase program through which employees can purchase new equipment that is compatible with the City's existing equipment. Assistant City Attorney Klahr explained we usually donate surplus equipment or put it on the market for bid, and employees are prohibited from bidding on these items. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said the Special Needs Color Guard has been in touch with her and City staff via Ellen Kleinert, for permission to use the City's logo on T-shirts and to place wording on a banner as follows: "City of Tamarac, Home of the Special Needs Color Guard". Assistant City Manager Phillips explained the City's logo may be used with the express consent of the Mayor and City Commission. Assistant City Attorney Klahr added pursuant to Statute and Tamarac Code, a written request is required for authorization by the Mayor and City Commission. Mayor Flansbaum- Talabisco asked if the T-Shirts will be used specifically for the Macy's Day Parade and Assistant City Manager Phillips said due to the chilly weather the shirts will most likely November 06, 2006 City Commission Workshop Page 6 of 9 be worn when the team is out and about. Commissioner Dressler said if appropriate notice is given to the Mayor and City Commission he is in favor of granting the request. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco asked for an expression of interest to allow the Special Needs Color Guard to use the City's logo on their shirts and to have the wording on the banner and shirts, "City of Tamarac, Home of the Special Needs Color Guard". All were in agreement. Commissioner Sultanof asked if they had requested money from the City and Assistant City Manager Phillips said it was supported as part of the budget process. Vice Mayor Portner said last year the Mayor and City Commission approved allowing employees and spouses to attend the City's Holiday Party at no cost to the employee or spouse, and requested the same thing be done this year. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco asked for an expression of interest and all were in agreement. Vice Mayor Portner said he recently attended a conference in Colorado and spoke of '311' an Inter -government System. Vice Mayor Portner said he would give the information to the City Manager so he could discuss with I.T. Director Sucuoglu to see if it is proper for the City of Tamarac. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said Vice Mayor Portner always reports on his conferences and she enjoys reading the reports. A lot of effort goes into them. e. Item No. 7. AMENDING THE CITY OF TAMARAC CODE OF ORDINANCES BY CREATING A NEW CHAPTER ENTITLED. "S-2 RECREATIONAL DISTRICT": (TO2124) Motion to adopt Ordinance on first reading creating a new chapter within the City of Tamarac Code of Ordinances entitled, "S-2 Recreational District"; providing for findings and conclusions evidencing the intent of the city commission to create the aforesaid zoning category with its attendant uses, responsibilities and opportunities; providing for definitions; providing for scope; providing for purpose and intent; providing for multiple zoning requirements; providing for permitted uses; providing for general regulations; providing for landscape requirements; providing for building/structure heights; providing for plot size; providing for walls and fences; providing for design criteria (Case No. 15-Z-06); providing for codification. Deputy City Manager/Interim Community Development Director Cernech, Michele Mellgren, Michele Mellgren & Associates, Inc., and Planning and Zoning Manager Ross appeared. Deputy City Manager/Interim Community Development Director Cernech said creation of an S-2 Recreation District will compliment the S-1 Recreation District and is for resort hotel development around golf courses in Tamarac. We are not talking about site plans or specifics today and we will not cross over into a quasi-judicial discussion. We will only discuss zoning and the concept that brought us to this point. Deputy City Manager/Interim Community Development Director Cernech discussed the background relating to the Woodmont Country Club, the concept, obstacles, steps necessary to qualify for an S-2 zoning designation, definition of resort hotel, why the City of Tamarac needs a resort hotel designation, development agreements, regulations, landscaping, parking and design criteria. Vice Mayor Portner questioned optional accommodations and Ms. Mellgren said there are two categories which are accessories to a prime hotel, and some are required, such as the bar, fitness center, meeting facilities, office center, November 06, 2006 City Commission Workshop Page 7 of 9 restaurant, spa, sundry store, and swimming pool. Optional amenities are clothing store, pro shop, clubhouse facility and jewelry shop. Deputy City Manager/Interim Community Development Director Cernech explained if there is a golf course, there will be a pro shop and clubhouse, and this would be a building separate and apart from the hotel. Vice Mayor Portner questioned single ownership of a resort hotel and Deputy City Manager/Interim Community Development Director Cernech explained the zoning ordinance requires single, unified ownership and management, which could be a partnership, LLC or whatever mechanism is used. The instant problem for Mr. Schmidt and Dr. Jarmin is that they intend to bring in a management group to manage the hotel and this will have to be addressed in the Developer's Agreement. Ms. Mellgren added this will assure that down the road the hotel is not morphed into a condominium. Vice Mayor Portner questioned language regarding limited property remains in the City for future development and/or redevelopment and Deputy City Manager/Interim Community Development Director Cernech said we do not have the ability to build new resort hotel complexes from the ground up; if we want to accommodate that type of development we have to look to redevelopment scenarios. Vice Mayor Portner questioned wording regarding the restaurant and Ms. Mellgren said this precludes fast food or cafeteria style restaurants. Vice Mayor Portner confirmed wording regarding guest rooms precludes turning the establishment into a condominium. Assistant City Attorney Klahr explained in order to legally be able to convert from hotel to condo the property would have to be rezoned and that rezoning would have to come before the Mayor and City Commission for approval. Commissioner Dressler thanked staff for the time and effort put into this ordinance and said it is important that everyone understands this is not specific to Woodmont; it is to establish a uniform set of guidelines for development of any golf course or significant open space for the community and is a citywide ordinance. Commissioner Sultanof explained this is a roadmap. Commissioner Dressler questioned the wording 'height not to exceed 100 ft.' and asked how the 100' was decided upon. Deputy City Manager/Interim Community Development Director Cernech responded 100' was decided upon based on the fact that all S-2 districts will be immediately adjacent to existing residential communities, and this allows the hotel developer to come in and build a substantial structure that will be integrated into the community and not tower over existing buildings. Buildings in other communities were looked at, and it was decided the naked eye could not discern the difference between 90'-120'; Ms. Mellgren had researched other cities' criteria, and in her professional opinion said 100' was a good number. Ms. Mellgren added this was based on several factors; she researched resort hotels in similar situations and tried to come up with a number that allowed for sufficient size but limited the height of development to being reasonable and compatible with surrounding residents. The maximum height now allowable is 40' and we are talking about an additional 60'. Commissioner Dressler questioned setbacks and Ms. Mellgren explained any resort hotel taller than the maximum height allowed in the surrounding residential district, must step back one foot for each foot over 40'. Commissioner Dressler asked if this applies to ancillary structures also and Ms. Mellgren said ancillary structures can not exceed 50% of the height of the building. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said in the future it would be a good idea to have visuals. November 06, 2006 City Commission Workshop Page 8 of 9 n Commissioner Sultanof left the meeting at 12:35 p.m. Commissioner Dressler asked about the developer's agreement and the process the developer must go through. Deputy City Manager/Interim Community Development Director Cernech said the Developer's Agreement has latitude which allows staff to negotiate with the developer and then it goes to the Mayor and City Commission for their approval. Commissioner Dressler confirmed the ordinance precludes any developer coming in to any part of the city without a Developer's Agreement to ask for S-2 zoning. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco asked what structure Ms. Mellgren saw with regard to determining the height issue, and said she could not envision the parking as noted. Ms. Mellgren said the building she had seen was across from the Galleria Mall on Sunrise Boulevard, but it was not a stepped back building. Mayor Flansbaum- Talabisco asked for the information by Wednesday. Deputy City Manager/Interim Community Development Director Cernech said what is required in our existing code for parking is a 20' setback from residential property, and landscaping and buffers are required. Ms. Mellgren said the landscaping and buffer in this ordinance references our B-3 district, which is an intense requirement in our code. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco asked if other cities have tighter landscaping requirements than Tamarac, and Deputy City Manager/Interim Community Development Director Cernech said we are redeveloping existing property and there is existing landscaping around the perimeter; what is required is beyond what is already there. We can look at the landscaping code to see if it merits enhancement. Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco said this ordinance will be a new tool in our toolbox. This ordinance affects the integrity of neighborhoods that might be affected. Ms. Mellgren advised the Mayor and City Commission that she has a conflict Wednesday evening and would have a Senior Planner from her office attend the commission meeting. There being no further business, Mayor Flansbaum-Talabisco adjourned the workshop meeting at 12:50 p.m. Marion Swenson, CIVIC City Clerk November 06, 2006 City Commission Workshop Page 9 of 9
