Speakers will be limited to three minutes during this item and at public hearings. There will be a thirty (30) minute aggregate time limit for this item, and speakers are encouraged to sign up in advance with the City Clerk prior to their participation. Jesse Sompolinsky, resident of the Isles of Tamarac, expressed his concern regarding the signs in the median on NW 71 Place which read, "No parking, Right -of -Way" and asked what right-of-way means. Mayor Abramowitz said the right-of-way is land that is deeded and dedicated to a governmental agency which does not belong to the agency but they have the right to make it a right-of-way. Mr. Sompolinsky asked why C/M Katz promulgated this sign placement when this is C/W Glasser's district and C/M Katz said there were numerous requests by the residents in Kings Point for the County to place these signs. C/W Glasser said she had not received any calls regarding this except for a call received during the holiday for parking availability and it was handled. She said the County needs to be readdressed in order to remove these signs and it would be beneficial if some of the residents from the Isles of Tamarac and Kings Point attend this meeting. Mayor Abramowitz said when the road is rutted, Kings Point is cited by Code Enforcement. He said the County can make this sign half its size. C/W Glasser said she will attempt to resolve this situation. Bob Thomas, resident of the Isles of Tamarac, said he has photographs of the Kings Point bus in the swale area creating ruts in the ground. Mr. Thomas expressed his concern regarding the speeding on NW 71 Place. Anthony Grimaldi, resident of Heathgate Sunflower, expressed his objections to the City lease/purchasing the Mapgraphix system, which is Item 5 on the Agenda. Terry Hobmeier, resident of the Isles of Tamarac, expressed her concerns regarding the speeding on NW 71 Place. Ms. Hobmeier expressed her appreciation for the concrete shoulder to prevent trucks from going into the empty lot opposite the Isles of Tamarac on McNab Road near NW 108 Terrace. Ms. Hobmeier requested that Council consider the garbage pick-up for Cathay's Chinese Restaurant be reduced from six times per week to four due to the lack of business.

Ord. #1582, SECONDED by C/W Glasser. Ms. Carpenter said this is an application by the City of Tamarac brought forth by the Community Development Department to resubmit the City's Land Use Plan for certification to the Broward County Planning Council. She said the County found several areas where the City's map did not match the County's map. She said some were brought forward to Council as Land Use Map amendments, some as tax amendments and this one can be changed through the zoning process. Ms. Carpenter said in 1982, the City and F & R (currently Leadership Housing, Inc.) had agreed on Stipulation 13 to the Weissing Court Order which required that the parcel be rezoned to B--5 and the City did the rezoning in good faith; however, to accomplish that rezoning, the property was designated residential. She said the City should have included the words, "using commercial flexibility" in the ordinance. Ms. Carpenter said the County requires that the City amend this ordinance to include those three words. She said this is a housekeeping measure. C/M Katz asked if this will allow the commercial zoning to Nob Hill Road to take in the sales office to Nob Hill Road and Ms. Carpenter agreed. Mayor Abramowitz OPENED and CLOSED the Public Hearing with no response. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 10 • LIC HEARING - on second reading to amend Chapter 10 of the Code to provide regulations for the protection of wildlife, natural resource areas, ecological communities and their habitats.

Ms. Carpenter said this ordinance implements a portion of the Comprehensive Plan which requires that the City protect wildlife areas, natural resource areas and other ecological communities and City Council Regular Meeting 1/08/92/KJ Page 6 habitats. She said Tamarac has one notable and known natural resource area and this ordinance will protect that piece of property from having the natural features of it totally destroyed. Mayor Abramowitz OPENED and CLOSED the Public Hearing with no response. C/M Schumann asked the name of present owner of the land and Ms. Carpenter said Resolution Trust Company (RTC). C/W Glasser asked the cost for this and Ms. Carpenter said this will not cost the City anything and will refer to the designated natural resource protection area recognized by the County and City Comprehensive Plan. Ms. Carpenter said any cost to the City would be in the review of the professional documents that the applicant would be required to submit to the City at the time of site plan. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 11. LIC HEARINQ - on second reading to implement the requirements of Section 163.3202, Florida Statutes, which requires the adoption of land development regulations to implement the City's Comprehensive Plan by creating a new Section 10-121(g) of the Code incorporating, by reference, Chapter 27 of the Broward County Code relating to wellfield protection. FINAL ACTION: ORDINANCE 0-92-2-PASSED Public Hearing was held. APPROVED on second and final reading. City Attorney Ruf read Temp. Ord. #1575 by title. C/M Schumann MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Ord. #1575, SECONDED by C/W Glasser. Ms. Carpenter said the State of Florida made several requirements when certifying the Comprehensive Plan one of which was that even though the City recognizes and operates under Chapter 27 of the Broward County Code relating to wellfield protection, that the City recognize this by placing it into an ordinance. Ms. Carpenter said the County Charter, Environmental Provisions, enforces the wellfield protection ordinance in every City. She said the State wants the City to recognize this by adopting the provisions of the County's ordinance. Mayor Abramowitz OPENED and CLOSED the Public Hearing with no response.

Ord. #1584, SECONDED by V/M Bender. Ms. Carpenter said this is an amendment to Chapter 12-30(c) in the Code of Ordinances where approval of the zoning on an occupational license request is currently given to the Supervisor of Occupational Licenses and changing that to the Director of Community Development. She said the reason for this is to separate and place a buffer between the person issuing the Licenses and the person making the determination that the zoning is valid or not. She recommended approval. Mayor Abramowitz OPENED and CLOSED the Public Hearing with no response. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE TAPE 2 Community Development,, 5. MOTION., =- ADOPT Temp.Reng. #6184 authorizing the lease/purchase of a Mapgraphix System (geographic information system) for the Macintosh Computer System in the amount of $24,913.44 (tabled on 12/11/91).

C/W Glasser asked if this equipment will become outdated and Ms. Carpenter said this there are annual upgrades to the software for this system. Ms. Carpenter said there is a two year lead time during which the information is gathered and entered into the system. C/W Glasser asked if this will be mostly utilized for new construction and Ms. Carpenter said the Mapgraphix system will provide the Real Scan information which is the property appraiser's data and other information including the locations of water and sewer lines and other such data, which can be accessed with expediency and accuracy. C/M Schumann asked if this system will be obsolete by the time the information is entered and Ms. Carpenter said the equipment that the City currently has in place is not obsolete and can be upgraded when necessary. C/M Schumann asked who would use this system and Ms. Carpenter said this equipment will be utilized by people within the City. C/W Glasser LEST the meeting at approximately 8:00 p.m. City Council Regular Meeting 1/08/92/KJ Page 8 Mayor Abramowitz asked if the Community Development Department has two Macintosh computers on location that can be used for this system and Ms. Carpenter said they can be upgraded to utilize this. She said the computers that are located in the office are utilized eight hours per day at present. Ms. Carpenter said if one of these computers is taken to use for the Mapgraphix system, the need for another computer will still exist. Mayor Abramowitz asked if the City will be spending money to save money in the future and Ms. Carpenter said it is difficult to state that there will be a direct, identifiable savings of money but it will allow the departments to act more efficiently and to make better decisions, which is where the cost savings is. C/M Katz said the saving of Staff time is a cost savings. C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Reso. #6184, SECONDED by V/M Bender.

MOTION TO ADOPT Te a_ Reso_ „#6201 approving a revised site plan reflecting a vestibule addition for PUBLIX at SUNSHINE PLAZA, 4121 W. Commercial Boulevard, and also approving a Declaration of Restrictions and granting an exception from platting. RESOLUTION R-92-3-PASSED City Attorney Ruf read Temp. Reso. #6201 by title. C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Reso. #6201, SECONDED by V/M Bender. Ms. Carpenter said the applicant, Publix, in the Sunshine Plaza, proposes to construct about 1,500 square foot vestibule in front of and attached to the existing Publix at the corner of Commercial Boulevard and State Road 7. She said the additional parking spaces required for the 1,500 square feet are located in the rear of the property and a new facade and sidewalk will be constructed. Ms. Carpenter said the property is not platted. She said due to the extension being attached to an existing building and less than 100% of the existing building, the applicant is not required to plat under the County regulations; however, the applicant must obtain an exception to platting from the Tamarac Code as a condition to the site plan approval and this resolution includes that language. Ms. Carpenter said the criteria that the applicant must meet is that there is an undue hardship to plat, that granting exception would not set a precedent and there would be no detriment to the community, that the site is adequately served by community facilities and that no additional easements or rights -of -way are required and no recreational lands are required. Ms. Carpenter said Staff and the Planning Commission found that the applicant has met this criteria and meets the criteria for platting exception. She said the shopping center was built so long ago that it was not required to be platted. She said it is in a compact deferral area and in order to proceed with this in compact deferral, there has to be a restrictive covenant running with the land which restricts the uses to vestibule uses and not occupancy uses. City Council Regular Meeting 1/08/92/KJ Page 9 Ms. Carpenter said the Site Plan and Plat Review Committee and the Planning Commission recommended approval. She said the applicant has paid traffic impact fees and the project is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. Mayor Abramowitz requested that whatever is necessary to be done to improve the City and fill the empty shopping centers should be done.

RESOLUTION R--92-4-PASSED City Attorney Ruf read Temp. Reso. #6202 by title. C/M Schumann MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Reso. #6202, SECONDED by V/M Bender. Mike Couzzo, Director of Public Services and Assistant City Manager, said this is a project that is planned at Tract 27. He said the City solicited advertised bids and received five bids for the project. He said Staff is recommending the low bidder who is in compliance with the specifications. Mr. Couzzo said the project was estimated to be between $42,000 and $45,000 and the bid is at $39,750. He said the lights are needed on the field to continue the development of the athletic program. Mayor Abramowitz said the City took down some existing light poles when the tennis courts were built for future use. He asked if there is a possibility that the City can get a better deal by combining these projects. Mr. Couzzo said there is hope to do this while this contractor is on the site and be able to utilize the existing poles that were removed at Tamarac Park in order to light the tennis courts. He said those poles cannot be used for the sports field lighting. He said if Council directs Staff to move forward and negotiate with the low bidder, there is a possibility. City Manager Kelly said the only option Council has in order to do that, is to reject these bids and do a rebid combining those Projects. He recommended approval of this as is based on the loss of time and costs involved.

Mr. Couzzo said in cooperating with the Finance Department's Purchasing Division, the City has gone out for a collective bid with the City of Coral Springs. Last year, during the City's own bidding, the price being paid was $84.70 per ton. He said the collective bid price this year is $80.38 per ton which is $4.32 less than last year, a 5% reduction. Mr. Couzzo said this is a Coral Springs bid and if they renew it over the course of the next two years, the City can also take advantage of the same price over the next two years.

Mayor Abramowitz said in the interest of saving money, for the January 15, 1992 town meeting regarding the Bus Depot proposal, Herb Hayes, President of the Presidents Council, announced the meeting and the various developments have responded. He requested that everyone should pass the word regarding this. City Manager Kelly said on this agenda, Council approved several sets of minutes from past Council meetings. He said the minutes have become a significant burden to the Clerk's office and a costly one to the City with all of the boards and committees that the City has. He recommended that Council consider limiting committee meetings to a certain timeframe, not including the Planning Commission, Charter Board, Code Enforcement Board or Council. He recommended adopting tight agendas for the various other boards and committees. City Manager Kelly said he has received requests from individual members of those committees regarding political involvement with campaigners. He said it is inappropriate as committee members to get involved in any of the local campaigns, but as individuals, they maintain the right to support whomever they wish to as long as they are not representing that board or committee. City Manager Kelly said the Charter Board has submitted their bill for their attorney and the fees are $848.75 and requested approval for the processing of this for payment. C City Council Regular Meeting 1/08/92/KJ Page 11 F1 City Manager Kelly said there have been several requests from residents for street sweeping. He said a determination needs to be made by Council on several issues, including the retention ponds. City Manager Kelly said all of the attorneys who applied for the City Attorney position that Council requested be contacted have been contacted and have indicated that they are still available and interested in the position. City Manager Kelly said he will attend a recycling meeting on Friday, January 10, 1992 with the other cities and will update Council with information from that meeting as soon as it is available. City Manager Kelly said he has tentatively negotiated with MAS regarding the franchise audits and this will need to be addressed by Council soon. Mayor Abramowitz said some of these committees address items that are not directly related to their business, which entails having a secretary present and costs the City money. He said he feels that every committee should be mandated to go into the meeting with an agenda to follow, which is the responsibility of the Chairperson. City Manager Kelly said some committees are meeting without a quorum, conducting workshops until the quorum is present and then holding their regular meeting which is not legal and cannot be allowed to continue. He said he will contact all of the Chairs of the committees and boards and advise them of this illegality. With no further business, Mayor Abramowitz ADJOURNED this meeting at 8:20 p.m. CAROL A.
