REGULAR CITY COMMISSION MEETING
CITY HALL CHAMBERS
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1999
CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Schreiber called the regular meeting to order on
Wednesday, February 24,1999, at 9:00 A.M. in the Commission Chambers of
Tamarac City Hall, 7525 Northwest 881h Avenue, Tamarac, FL
PRESENT: Mayor Joe Schreiber, Vice Mayor Larry Mishkin, Commissioner
Karen L. Roberts, Commissioner John E. McKaye and Commissioner Marc L.
Sultanof.
ALSO PRESENT: Robert S. Noe, Jr., City Manager, Mitchell S. Kraft, City
Attorney and Carol Gold City Clerk
1. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: There was no public participation.
REPORTS
2. City Commission: Commissioner Roberts had no report. Commissioner
McKaye had no report. Vice Mayor Mishkin reported that he toured the new
homeless facility on Sunrise Boulevard, and he hoped the City Manager was
working on assembling a committee to collect clothes for the shelter, which are
sorely needed. Vice Mayor Mishkin extended a personal note of sympathy to the
family of Joe Stokvis, on his passing last week. Mr. Stokvis was a volunteer on
City boards, was very helpful during the early days of Tamarac and people who
were close to him knew him to be extremely literate. Vice Mayor Mishkin
congratulated Commissioner Sultanof on his appointment as Chair of the
Advisory Council on the Area Agency on Aging. Vice Mayor Mishkin said at the
last meeting he neglected to mention that several members of the Commission
participated in bagging groceries at Winn Dixie and he received $56.18 in tips for
his three hours of work, which he donated to the Cancer Charity. Vice Mayor
Mishkin congratulated Commissioner McKaye on newspaper articles he received
that were written about his mother's scrapbook, which was donated to the City.
Vice Mayor Mishkin would like to see an historical society created, with
Commissioner McKaye spearheading the Committee. Vice Mayor Mishkin
forwarded a letter to Broward County requesting quicker action on Tamarac's
request for new bus service. One of the major drawbacks to the hot lunch
program is that there is not adequate transportation for the Tamarac residents
and Vice Mayor Mishkin is meeting with the County next week to see if the
transportation process can be accelerated. Vice Mayor Mishkin said the wheels
of progress move slowly, and the City is just now seeing the results of projects
that the Commission initiated five years ago. After one year of work, the U-Turn
sign in front of Winn Dixie at Concorde Village has been moved, and for this,
Vice Mayor Mishkin extends his thanks to Public Works Director Verma.
Commissioner Sultanof thanked Vice Mayor Mishkin for his kind words, and said
he also visited the Sunrise Homeless Shelter and suggests everyone take the
opportunity to go and see the project, as it is the first step to bring men, women

and families off the streets. He agrees with Vice Mayor Mishkin that it is
important to hold a clothing drive and he would like to participate. Commissioner
Sultanof congratulated the Lennar Corporation for bringing a state of the art
theater to Tamarac, which has been touted throughout Broward County and
adds stature to the City. Commissioner Sultanof also thanked the Lennar
Corporation for bringing the Adult Expo to the City, in which 4-5 thousand people
participated. This year the City of Tamarac will sponsor a booth.
Mayor Schreiber thanked the Public Information Committee and the Public
Relations division for the new Tam -A -Gram, and said this is the first time he has
had his photograph in the Tam -A -Gram two times! Mayor Schreiber said
Tamarac should take charge of its own traffic control within the City, as Tamarac
is big enough and has enough money to handle this instead of going to the
County. Mayor Schreiber said the County might even reduce taxes if the cost of
traffic control is alleviated.
3. City Attorney: City Attorney Kraft had no report.
4. City Manager: City Manager Noe said pursuant to Vice Mayor Mishkin's
request at the February 10, 1999 Commission meeting for a clothing drive to
help the homeless shelter, City Staff had collected clothing to send to Central
America that were unable to be delivered and the clothes will be sent to the
Homeless Shelter. The Fire Department will sponsor a safety day on March 20,
1999 at Tamarac Lakes South, and after March 20, every single-family home
east of the turnpike will have been checked for smoke detectors. The Chamber
of Commerce is sponsoring Tamarac Day on April 10, 1999, from 9:00 a.m. --
4:00 p.m. at the Tamarac Sports Complex. The public works project going on
outside the main entrance to City hall encountered some unforeseen issues and
the project should be completed by the middle of March. Hiatus Road received
the final layer of asphalt, and the ribbon cutting ceremony will take place the
middle of March. Thirty-eight people showed up for the congregate meals, and
the Sunshine Plaza water storage tank is back on line. Mayor Schreiber said he
received a report indicating that 80% of the road resurfacing was completed and
City Manager Noe responded that 80% of the first year's work has been
completed, and there are utility relocation and stormwater utility issues that have
to be resolved before continuing with the project.
