CONSIDERA`T�ON$
General_ Adminiat-rative
5. XQTIQX XQ AUTHORIZE payment in the amount of $1,757,372.00
to Broward County Board of County Commissioners as square one
debt adjustment for Tamarac's purchase of wastewater
treatment and transmission reserved capacity, with funds to
come from Utilities West account entitled Square One Debt
Fund.
C/M Schumann MOVED to APPROVE Item 5, SECONDED by C/M Katz.
Mary Blasi, Finance Director, said in 1988, Council decided to
dismantle the City's WasteWater Treatment Plant due to a
feasibility study for the cost of expanding that plant in
comparison to going to a regional wastewater facility, which was
called the 201 Plan. She said Council had approved a large user
wastewater agreement with'Broward County Utilities requesting that
they purchase so many million gallons per day of reserved
capacity.
Ms. Blasi said at that time, the County did not have enough
capacity to serve all of Tamarac; therefore, Tamarac leased from
Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach the required reserved capacity
and paid them monthly. She said Broward County went to an
expansion program required by a large user agreement, so that
Tamarac would have sufficient capacity in January, 1992. She said
the expansion has been completed and the permits have been issued.
She said Tamarac is required to pay for the additional capacity;
Tamarac currently owns 8.8% of the reserved capacity. She read
from the Large User Agreement.
Ms. Blasi said all of the large users will be receiving checks as
of March 1, 1992 because their total percentage of the plant went
down due to not requiring as much with the expansion. She said
Tamarac's debt service charges were previously based on a net
increase of 3% for treatment which amounts to $1,757,372.
Mayor Abramowitz said he had been signing checks in the amount of
$20,000 monthly for this. He expressed his appreciation to Ms.
Blasi for her insight regarding this.
Ms. Blasi said the money has been reserved since 1988.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE
6. MOTION TO APPROVE the Selection Committee's
recommendation to engage the firm of Fine, Jacobson,
Schwartz, Nash, Block and England as bond counsel for
the refinancing of outstanding City bonds at a cost not
to exceed $26,500.00, including expenses, with all fees
to be contingent upon issuance of bonds.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
APPROVED
C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Item 6, SECONDED by C/M Schumann.
Mayor Abramowitz requested that Selection Committee
recommendations be brought before Council prior to Regular Council
meetings.
Mr. Kelly said in attempting to reissue and refinance the
outstanding bonds of the City, Council appointed a Selection
Committee to review the qualifications of the proposed Financial
Advisors. He said the Selection Committee consisted of Leo Platz,
Chairman of the Investment Advisory Board, Mary Blasi, Finance
Director, and himself.
City Council Regular Meeting
2/26/92/KJ
Page 5
Mr. Kelly said the City received five applications; one of which
was received the day of the meeting. He said of the four
applications previously received, the fee range was between
$20,000 to $57,000 for their services to be provided. He said
expense caps range from $2,500 to $6,000. He said overall the fee
proposed by Fine, Jacobson was the lowest until the proposal by
Tillinghouse, Collins and Graham was received at a proposed fee of
$18,500 or $130 to $210 per hour.
Mr. Kelly said in reviewing the applications, the Committee
determined that Fine, Jacobson was the most appropriate and most
qualified firm to be selected based on their past experience in
the issuance of all previous City bond issues. He said Gerry
Heffernan of Fine, Jacobson has been available to the City without
charge any time the City has had questions regarding bond issues.
He recommended approval.
Mayor Abramowitz requested clarification of "fees being contingent
upon the issuance of bonds".
Gerry Heffernan, attorney for Fine, Jacobson, et.al., said this
means that if the bonds are never closed, they proceed with the
attempt to do this financing until it is no longer feasible or no
longer makes economic sense to do the transaction and the time
spent is not charged, unless the bonds are issued. He said when
the bonds are issued and are sold, then the fee will be charged.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if the determination of the selling price
is based on market evaluation and Mr. Heffernan said, yes.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if the City has the ability to say no if it
is not desired and Mr. Heffernan said, yes, and the Underwriter
who is selected will come before Council with the details and if
the Council is not satisfied with those details, based upon the
Financial Advisor's considerations, Council can at any time decide
not to go forward with the bond transaction.

Occupational Licenaea
7. MOTXOX TO APPROVE renewal of a special extended hours
permit for on -premises consumption of alcoholic
.beverages for three (3) years requested by OASIS
LOUNGE at THREE LAKES PLAZA pursuant to Section 3-5
of the Code.
FINAL ACTTQN-
APPROVED the renewal of the existing special extended hours permit
of the 7 a.m. opening time and open hours till 4 a.m. on New
Year's Eve and St. Patrick's Day only. Council requested that the
City Attorney meet with Occupational Licensing regarding the
possibility of issuing permits for daily 4 a.m. hours.
C/M Schumann MOVED to APPROVE Item 7, SECONDED by C/W Glasser.
Mr. Kelly said the Oasis Package Lounge is located at Three Lakes
Plaza and is contiguous to other municipalities and jurisdictions
and there are lounges in those areas which remain open later which
takes business away from them. He said the applicant is requesting
a special permit for extended hours daily, including Sundays, for
the hours of sale to be extended to 7:00 a.m., which is one hour
earlier than the standard 8:00 a.m. opening.
Mr. Kelly said for New Year's Eve, December 31st, the hours may be
extended to 4 a.m. as well as for St. Patrick's Day, March 17th.
He said the special permit is for a three year period and was
originally approved by Council on July 10, 1985.
Mayor Abramowitz asked what the permitted hours of operation are
at present and Mr. Kelly said 2 a.m.
City Council Regular Meeting
2/26/92/KJ
Page 6
Mayor Abramowitz asked if the applicant is requesting permission
to remain open until 4 a.m. and Mr. Kelly said the applicant has
requested that the extended permit for consumption be considered
to be renewed for an additional three year period under the terms
previously stated.
Mr. Kelly said this would be one hour earlier and until 2 a.m. as
at present.
After much discussion concerning the applicant's request, Robert
Tooke, owner of the Oasis Lounge, said the request is for a
renewal of a special permit he obtained in 1985. He said he had
sent a letter to the Council and Mayor in the past, requesting
that his hours be extended until 4 a.m. daily. He said he is
permitted to remain open til 4 a.m. on New Year's Eve and St.
Patrick's Day at present.
C/M Schumann asked if he is looking to open at 7 a.m. instead of 8
a.m. and Mr. Tooke said he has been opening at 7 a.m. since he has
been in operation.
Mr. Tooke said the application is for the one hour earlier and the
two days remaining open until 4 a.m.; however, he would like to
extend it to be open until 4 a.m. daily, based on his
competition's hours.
C/W Glasser asked if the competition is in Tamarac and Mr. Tooke
said the competition is in Broward County jurisdiction.
Mayor Abramowitz said Mr. Tooke paid $500 for this special
extended permit.
Ms. Carpenter said she feels this should be addressed by Judy
Yacobellis in Occupational Licensing. She said she reads this as
the extended hours are solely for New Year's Day and St. Patrick's
Day and no other days.
Mr. Kelly said there is not a waiver provision in this section of
the Code for Council to provide the waiver to the additional
hours, which would need to be addressed first.
Mr. Kraft said he interprets this request as being for those two
specific days and the applicant is looking for a waiver.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if there is a provision in the Code, if
Council decided to address this problem and Mr. Kraft said he does
not see a provision for this.
TAPE 2
Mr. Kelly said Council may renew the application as is.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if there is a provision in the Code which
would give Council the right to make a decision to permit his
remaining open until 4 a.m. daily if there is an actual request to
pursue it and Mr. Kraft said he is not aware of it.
C/W Glasser asked if there is another establishment in Tamarac
which is open until 4 a.m. and Mayor Abramowitz said, no, there is
no provision in the Code to permit it.
Mayor Abramowitz requested that Council act on this request as is
and for City Attorney Kraft to meet with Occupational Licensing to
make the determination as to whether Council has the right to make
a waiver of this type, other than going to Referendum and a change
in the Code.

Master Business List. She said the applicant does not know who the
tenant is going to be; however, the Code has no prohibition
against the applicant bringing it forward without a known tenant
and Staff does not object to it.
Ms. Carpenter said the Planning Commission and Staff recommend
conditions based on not knowing who the tenant may be as follows:
a) limit the hours of operation to 11 p.m., b) no on -premises
consumption of alcohol, c) no dancing or cabaret, d) if there is
carry -out, a limitation for no food consumption in the parking
lot, e) no pizza restaurants, f) provide an odor control plan
prior to receipt of a building permit, and g) a special exception
tied to the Bay, so that all of the conditions are met by the
applicant, which could be administratively transferred as long as
all fees are paid and business is not closed for more than 60
days.
Ms. Carpenter said the Planning Commission recommended approval.

C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Tamp. Ord. #1596, SECONDED by
C/M Schumann.
Ms. Carpenter said this is a request to rezone from B-1
(Neighborhood business) to B-2 (Community business). She said the
applicant voluntarily amended his request to eliminate any B-3
uses and is proceeding solely with B-2 in front of Council.
Ms. Carpenter said this parcel constitutes 9.16 acres and contains
an existing 20,000 square foot shopping center, of which
approximately 30% is currently vacant. She said this request was
engendered by the City's refusal to license a printer at this
location, for which a B-2 designation is required.
Ms. Carpenter said the parcel is currently designated commercial
on the City's Land Use Map and is surrounded by the following:
north -low -medium density residential and commercial, south -low
density and low -medium density residential, east --commercial, and
west -commercial.
Ms. Carpenter said this parcel was platted in 1979 and is in
compact deferral. She said no site plan can be approved or
building permit issued for the undeveloped parcels until the
applicant sets forth an action plan which will solve the parcel's
travel problems.
Ms. Carpenter said the recommendation is to rezone the entire
parcel to B-2 which is supported by the Planning Commission and
Staff. She said during the first reading, Council expressed its
desire to not have an auto body and paint shops or pawn shops on
the premises. The applicant has volunteered this in the form of a
restrictive covenant (Item 9 on the agenda). She recommended
approval.
Mayor Abramowitz asked what happens if Council approves this at
present and the applicant refuses the restrictive covenant in Item
9 and Mr. Kraft said Council can rescind the Ordinance.
C/M Schumann asked if Mr. Kraft is satisfied with the Declaration
of Restrictions and Mr. Kraft said, yes.

are zoned for recreation to meet the City's requirements for parks
under the County Land Use Plan.
Ms. Carpenter said the surrounding uses are as follows: north -low
medium density residential, south -medium density residential, east
and west -low -medium density. She said the zoning is compatible
with the surrounding land uses and supports the policies of the
Comprehensive Plan concerning the preservation of residential
neighborhoods, compatible uses, and the provision of open space
and recreation lands.
Ms. Carpenter said the site plan for Trent has already been

C/M Schumann MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Ord. #1594, SECONDED by

Mr. Kelly said this provides the City Manager with the authority
to make change orders that do not exceed $10,000. He suggested
that Council adopt a policy that these actions be referred to
Council in order to allow for Council input. He suggested that a
policy, separate from the Code, be adopted by Council if it would
be more comfortable. He said this has been discussed with the City
Attorney who agrees it is not appropriate for the Code.
C/M Katz said his concern is that some of the change orders
Council has had to approve were after -the -fact. He said he feels
that some of those change orders were unnecessary and should have
been picked up by the architect or engineer and was not the fault
of the City. He said Council should be aware that a change order
is coming up prior to the City Manager making this authorization.
He said he agrees that a separate item can be made part of it,
based on the City Attorney preparing such a document.
Mayor Abramowitz OPENED the Public Hearing.
Melanie Reynolds, resident, said she had understood that Council
had agreed to eliminate the use of change orders in the past and
Mr. Kelly said the City cannot do away with change orders.

provide a cost of living adjustment benefit for pension
participants receiving a normal retirement benefit.
ORDINANCE 0-92-16-PASSED
Public Hearing was held.
APPROVED on second and final reading.
Mr. Kraft read Temp. Ord. #1595 by title.
C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Ord. #1595, SECONDED by
C/M Schumann.
Peter Mack, Personnel Director, said this is a no cost item to the
City and to the Pension Board. He said this provision provides for
a cost of living adjustment which would only be done if there is
an actuarial gain experienced and would only be in the amount of a
maximum of 2% and granted only to normal retirees and would not be
cumulative.
C/M Schumann asked if this excludes disability retirees and Mr.
Mack said that is correct, it is only for normal retirees.
Mayor Abramowitz asked about the increase cap and Mr. Mack said
this is a maximum of 2% if there is an actuarial gain, not
annually and not cumulative. Discussion was held regarding this.
Mayor Abramowitz OPENED the Public Hearing.
Melanie Reynolds, resident, said she feels this is a bonus rather
than a cost of living adjustment and Mr. Mack disagreed.
TAPE 3
C/M Katz asked if there is a 2% increase, and another increase
occurs, would the initial increase be compounded and Mr. Mack said
it would not be cumulative.
C/M Schumann explained that if a retiree is receiving $100 and
there is a 2% increase, it would become $102 and if there is
another 2% increase next year, it would remain $102, which would
be 2% of the initial $100, not on the $102.
Ray Munitz, resident, said the expression is that the amount that
is being granted is not compounded.

C/M Katz said he had spoken at different condo and homeowner

to over 60 on a waiting list. He suggested Council consider
switching the Game Room and the Fitness Room around to accommodate
more people and possibly add another treadmill.
C/M Katz said at the previous Council meeting, a carnival was
approved. He said there is concern as to the Jaycees providing
adequate protection for the time or hours they are open.
Mr. Kelly said the Jaycees do provide for coverage for 30 hours
out of the 34 hours they will be open. He said Council needs to
make a determination as to whether or not police protection is
needed for the entire 34 hours or longer. He said he has received
complaints from the area residents complaining about the carnival

people coming to their homes requesting water or electrical
hookups.
C/W Glasser said Council needs to provide the parameters of
conduct for the health, safety and welfare of the residents prior
to the approval of a carnival.
Mayor Abramowitz said the City Manager's recommendation was to
deny the carnival based on too many inconsistencies; however, it
was approved and Council should force the Jaycees to provide for
police protection for the full 34 hours that they are open.
Mr. Kelly recommended that the Jaycees provide full police
coverage.

office that the branch office in the Tamarac Library will be
closed as of March 9, 1992 and the new branch office is located at

Mr. Kelly said it has been in open since February 24, 1992.
Mr. Kelly said discussion will be held with Jane Carroll regarding
having a branch office in City Hall and Mayor Abramowitz agreed.
Mayor Abramowitz referred to Mr. Kraft and stated his concerns
regarding Mr. Kraft's involvement in the pending litigation
between C/W Glasser, V/M Bender and the City. He said every member
of Council has the right to advice from the City Attorney
regarding the City and every written response should be copied and
sent to every member of Council, including the Mayor. He said the
City Attorney works for the City Council as a whole.
C/W Glasser said she had asked Mr. Kraft to respond to what she
thought was a conflict of interest. She said this had occurred in
past meetings with former City Attorney Ruf as to whether or not
she had a conflict of interest on particular matters.

Attorney's services.

will refer this to the Bar Association, State's Attorney office
and the Ethics Commission for their opinion in this.

City in order to complete the lighting upgrade. He said he will be
looking in the budget for the additional costs.
Mr. Kelly said at the next Council meeting, there will be an

Stacker place "No trespassing" signs on the property. He said he
informed the BSO that the City has an Ordinance on the books
stating that any all -terrain vehicle must have written permission
from the owner of the property to utilize their property.
Mr. Kelly said the second step for the refinancing of the City's
bond issue will be held in the afternoon to meet with the three
selected Financial Advisors which include Florida Municipal
Advisors, Barnett Bank and First National Bank. He said the
Committee has since reconsidered their selection of Barnett Bank,
due to the fact that they are out of Orlando; therefore, the
considerations would be between Florida Municipal Advisors and
First National Bank.

Japan on Friday evening, February 28, 1992 and with the German
Consulate on March 2, 1992.
