asked the City Manager to look into putting together a clothing drive from the City
for the Center. Vice Mayor Mishkin summarized a newspaper article that
appeared in the Sun Sentinel, about the City of Lighthouse Point using a
"Bombadier" car in their police department, that runs on electricity. The cost to
run the vehicle is 400 worth of electricity for an eight hour police shift, and he
suggested that the City Manager check to see if a local distributor would allow
the City of Tamarac to use such a vehicle for a trial period. Vice Mayor Mishkin
reported that the Sunrise Commission earns $20,691.22 a year plus $400.00 per
month in expenses.
Commissioner McKaye said as a member of the Executive Airport Board, he was
taken to see Tent City, and he is thankful the homeless now have a nice place to
live.
Commissioner Roberts said the Sunrise Commissioners do not have to turn in
receipts for their $400.00 per month expense account. Commissioner Roberts
said the overpass on University Drive is now open, and asked everyone to drive
carefully as children are using the sidewalk adjacent to University Drive.
