PUBLIC PARTICIPATION - Any member of the public may speak to any issue which is not agendized for public hearing at this meeting. 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. Herbert Hayes, resident, said the initial ruling of Judge Streitfeld to void the Referendum of September, 1990 for the extension of the terms of office of the Council and the Charter Board appears to be a miscarriage of justice based on a stretch of the imagination by the Judge that some readers of the ballot could have been confused as to the intent of the proposal. He said this was based on the information he received from the Sun Sentinel, Miami Herald and other sources. He said he feels in no way that anyone should have believed that there was an intention to stop the current incumbents from being able to run again and to remain in office. Mr. Hayes said both parts of the Referendum were approved by over 56% of the voters. He said he feels one new Judge should not take the position that the majority of the voters were confused and should be disenfranchised of their vote. He recommended the City appeal the unjustified decision to whatever higher authorities are deemed appropriate and that the decisions of the voters prevail in the City of Tamarac. Nathan Peretzman, resident, referred to the regular City Council meeting of January 23, 1991 regarding his investigatory process of the ambulance contracts and a possibility of impropriety. He expressed his concern regarding the City not keeping records of how the money is spent for ambulance service. Mr. Peretzman asked what the definition of flat rate is and the exact amount of service used. He asked the intention and motive of Council regarding this. He asked what happens and who receives the surplus money not used. He referred to Page 2 of an interoffice memo dated December 13, 1988 regarding the ambulance contract from Fire Chief Ray Briant of which copies were sent to the Mayor and Council from City Manager John Kelly. He requested the figures stated in this memo be explained to the taxpayers of the City. Irving Katz, resident of the Lakes of Carriage Hills, said he had a meeting with City Manager Kelly regarding a misrepresentation in the Tam-A-Gram of what the official City ballot was to be. He said a copy of the official City ballot issued by the Supervisor of Elections and available in the City Clerk's office is in direct contradiction to what was printed in the Tam-A-Gram. He said the Chairman of the Public Information Committee asked the City Council Liaison, C/M Rohr, if this was legal at the Public Information Committee meeting of February 26, 1991. He said C/M Rohr maintained that it was legal and this is the way the Supervisor of Election was going to print the ballot. Mr. Katz said he had to take exception to it and, as an injured party, he would like the City to hold a press release and identify the fact that this is not the official City ballot and that it did not contain any innuendo that there was favor or endorsement by the City to any of the people where the hands pointed. City Manager Kelly said Council was immediately contacted after the representation was made. He said the distribution of the Tam-A-Gram was secured by locking the door of the office and will remain locked pending some address by Council regarding this matter. Mayor Abramowitz said this will be discussed at a special meeting to held on Thursday, February 28, or Friday, March 1, 1991. Mr. Katz said he feels that this misrepresents the ballot to the residents due to the fact that it has been distributed. Anthony Grimaldi, resident of Sunflower Heathgate, expressed his concern regarding the decision made by Judge Streitfeld regarding the election. He asked how much of the City's money was spent on this. Stan Bernard, resident, said the case has not been decided at present. Mayor Abramowitz said he has not received an answer regarding the Judge's ruling; however, the City Attorney should be able to give a report on this soon. Mr. Grimaldi asked that the City spend no more money on this case if the ruling has been decided. Joe Schreiber, resident of Kings Point, said the Tam-A-Gram is a flying publication which is produced via the feelings of the City tax payers and should not be permitted to be used to enhance the benefit of the incumbents. Mr. Schreiber suggested an audit be held of the funds received by Medics Ambulance Service throughout the years to determine if everything is proper. He said he feels this should also be done to the Continental Cablevision service. Mr. Schreiber said the City has changed the legal department and he expressed his concern regarding the expenditure of $10,000 for the hiring of an outside law firm to handle the Hart versus Bender case. Mayor Abramowitz said the ambulance service within the City of Tamarac is not a requirement. He said this is a volunteer service which the City puts out and the City pays for. He said the City has no choice in choosing the company that handles the service. He said the Broward County Commission tells the City of Tamarac which ambulance company the City will use. Mayor Abramowitz said he feels that Mr. Peretzman has been answered several times. He said the City is going to be hassled for trying to provide the type of service for those residents who are unfortunate to need ambulance service, and he feels the City does not retain the records of the ambulance service because Broward County keeps the records. He said the Fire Chief monitors this and has the public records as well as Broward County's public records. He said the City could save approximately $100,000 per year if this service is discontinued. CONSENT AGENDA 4.

VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE RESOLUTIONS Community Development 6. MOTION TO ADOPT Temp. Reso. #5968 approving a delegation request by Carnahan and Associates, Inc., to add a notation to the plats of DEVON, EXETER, GRANVILLE, HUNTINGTON, LOMBARDY, ROCKFORD, SEDGEFIELD, TRENT (formerly THORNBY), WELDON, and YORKSHIRE, that these plats are intended for "Housing For Older Persons"; and also that the DEVON plat will be reduced from 333 residential units to 325 units (tabled on 1/23/91). FINAL ACTION: The Petitioner removed Ashmont and Fairfax from the delegation request. TABLED at the request of the Petitioner. City Attorney Ruf read Temp. Reso. #5968 by title. * C/M Bender MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Reso. #5968, SECONDED * by C/M Rohr. Ms. Carpenter said this is an application by Lennar Homes to amend the plats read. She said this issue has been very complexed and discussed in detail. She said until the Federal Housing Law was changed, the plats in Broward County had language that said, "This plat is restricted to adults 18 years and older." She said the Federal Housing Law has changed. She said Lennar Homes, among others, began to work with the Broward County Attorney's Office to determine what alternate language could be put on the face of the plat. She said the language that was agreed upon with correspondence documenting such, the status of which is the intent of the Broward County Ordinances and the Federal Housing Law is as follows: "This plat is intended for housing for older persons as defined within the Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 and/or the Broward County Human's Right Act as amended by Chapter 89.437. The units constructed on this plat are either solely to be occupied by persons 62 years of age or older or at least 80% of the units are to be occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older per unit." Ms. Carpenter said the reason developers would entertain this type of language in Broward County is for the purpose of legally reducing their school impact fees. She said school impact fees are required for family units and are substantially higher at $121.00 per unit versus school impact fees for elder housing which is $4.00 per unit with the obvious tie being that senior citizens do not make an impact on the public school system. She said Staff has no problem with this in concept because it is a requirement of the County that the school impact fees be paid and it has also demonstrated that the County has agreed with the language that has been put forward by the developer in concert with the County. Ms. Carpenter said the applicant is requesting approval on the note change on the plat. Mayor Abramowitz said the school impact fees do not come to the City. Ms. Carpenter said the fees are collected by the County for the Broward County School Board. Mayor Abramowitz said this language is very new. Ms. Carpenter said the language is new; however, the concept of putting the note on the plat has been in place since the initial school impact fees were put in place. Jerry Knight, Attorney representing Lennar Homes, said this is pursuant to a County procedure to request the City to indicate whether it objects to the language being placed on the remaining undeveloped plats of the Kings Point project. He said the delegation procedure at the County is whenever a change is being made to a note on a plat or adding language to a plat, a delegation request must be submitted with the County Commission. He said an indication of approval or objection to the change by the municipality must be obtained prior to applying for the delegation request. Mr. Knight said the County requires an indication from the municipality as to any objections to the delegation request. He said there have been notes placed on plats in Broward County since the early 1980's. He said language presented by Ms. Carpenter is the language that has been used for the past 10 years restricting to persons 18 years and older. He said the County Attorney's office raised a concern in 1990 when a delegation request or plat came in for an adult community that the old language was no longer consistent with the changes in Federal Law and the Fair Housing Act and local housing regulations. Mr. Knight said language was worked on for a year which they thought would not violate the provisions of Federal Law and they developed the new language being considered at present. He said the County Attorney's view does not violate the new Federal Law. He said the County is willing to use that language on the plats whenever someone requests a plat for an adult community. He said the County plans to use this language for County impact fee purposes. He said the County is satisfied that it provides sufficient assurances to the County that the property would be assessed and reduce educational impact fees. TAPE 2 Mr. Knight said educational impact fees are collected by the County and passed through to the Broward County School Board. He said they are not taxes and are not in lieu of taxes, but are impact fees which a developer pays at the time he is platting to offset the impact of the school system for use of capital improvements mainly. He said this has been brought to Council previously and requested that an indication be made to the County that the City has no objection to this note being placed on this plat. C/M Schumann said the Federal Fair Housing Law defines familial status and there is nothing in this language pertaining to familial status; however, Lennar Homes is stating that these are to be occupied by persons 62 years of age or older or 80% of the units are to be occupied be at least one person 55 years of age or older. He asked if there are any restrictive covenants prohibiting familial status in this development. He said he has no objection to passing this, but if some litigation occurs in the future because of a restrictive covenant that is forbidden by the law, he asked how the City of Tamarac is affected. Mr. Knight said he is not the author of the restrictive covenants and would defer that question to Marty Riefs of Lennar Homes. He said the County and the applicant are not requesting this Council to approve the restrictive covenants. He said this is a request for the City's approval or objection to the new language being placed on the plat. He said this is generic language to be placed on any plat in Broward County that is platting for an adult community in the future. He said the restrictive covenants do contain language relating to familial status and age of occupancy, but are not before Council at present. V/M Hoffman said there is a possibility that this project will not be considered proper under the Federal Housing Law. He asked if the Government has ruled that this project is housing for older persons and Mr. Knight said, no. V/M Hoffman said there is a possibility that younger families will be forced into the development and if Lennar Homes is allowed the reduced school impact fees at present and younger families are forced into the development, others in the County will have to obtain this burden. He said to the present there was no question as to whether or not an adult community was such a community. He expressed his concern of the propriety of granting anybody a relief from the school impact fees until such time as there is a decision by the Government as to whether or not the project does meet all of the requirements. He said a complaint may uncover that all of the requirements may not be met. Mr. Knight said the Law may change again and the County would rather have the possibility of any project placing this language on their plat. He said not having school children at some date is remote enough that they are willing to use this language for purposes of determining what educational impact fees are being paid. He said the County cannot lawfully assess impact fees on a project where the impact fees are not addressing a need created by that project. He said impact fees cannot be assessed on anybody and school impact fees can only be assessed if the need can be demonstrated which that project is generating. He said the County has developed this language as a way of achieving their comfort level. Mayor Abramowitz said he feels that the Federal Government and HUD state plainly that there are no absolute guidelines and the only way that one could be determined to be considered as an older adult community is in a court of law. He said he has no objection to this; however, he wants to be sure that the residents of the City do not have to spend money in the future for this. He said he feels the County has not performed on the Fair Housing Act as well as the Federal Government or the State. He said he has requested the City Attorney research what would happen in the event that there is a reversal and there are additional taxes to be paid if Lennar Homes would be willing to contractually be held responsible for that money. Mayor Abramowitz said he understands what is being done; however, he needs to be a little more definite in order to vote on this. Mr. Knight said this is the County's Ordinance and it is the County's process and procedure. He said when this note is amended on the plat, Lennar Homes will enter into an agreement with the County to amend the note to put the language on the plat. He said this agreement will be recorded in the public records unless the plat has not been recorded and then the language would be applied to the plat document itself. Mayor Abramowitz asked about the possibilities that all of the guidelines are not met. Mr. Knight said Lennar Homes is present at this meeting to get the City's feelings regarding this language to express the intention of the developer to be an adult community and to allow for the assessment of lower County school impact fees. He said he feels this does express Lennar Homes intention to be an adult community. He said if this language is not placed on the plat it would be considered one less intention to be an adult community. He said Lennar Homes has always intended for Kings Point to be an adult community. He said this restriction will either be self-enforcing or the County has the ability to determine whether it is enforceable and Lennar Homes will be entering into an agreement with the County. He said if something does go wrong in the future, the agreement is available. C/M Rohr said it is not known that there may be the possibility of a young couple being refused from purchasing a home in Kings Point due to the age limitations and they went to court and won. He said that case would open Kings Point to all young families. He said he feels the question will never be answered until someone challenges Kings Point. He said Council is looking for some type of guarantee that the City will never be involved in a law suit due to agreeing to the language that Broward County has written for these plats. He suggested that language be written so that this would never involve the City of Tamarac and, at that time, approval or disapprove can be decided. Mayor Abramowitz suggested Council be given a little more time to gather the information from the City Attorney regarding the legalities of this. He said he feels that the Council is concerned that they do not want the City or the residents to get stuck with this. Mr. Knight said Lennar Homes would like to give Council enough time to consider all aspects regarding this. He said the County is not looking for the City to approve this language, but to know whether the City has an objection to it. He said it would be sufficient for the City to take a neutral position on this language. Joe Schreiber, resident of Kings Point, asked why the petitioner left out the neighborhoods of Belfort and Clairmont. Mr. Knight said except for Ashmont and Fairfax, none of the developed plats were included. He said these are only the vacant plats. He said the delegation request has been amended to remove Ashmont and Fairfax, which were originally included because the unit count was also being amended. He said the County said with any changes, the adult only language needs to be changed. He said Lennar Homes decided to leave those plats alone and deleted them from the request. Mr. Schreiber said he feels this application is primarily a benefit for Lennar Homes. He asked how residents or the future residents of these developed neighborhoods will benefit from this housing for older persons or is this just for the reduced school impact fee. Mr. Knight said all of residential plats in Kings Point have been platted as adult communities. He said the result is that lower impact fees are assessed and any cost in connection with the development of the project is internalized and passed on to the ultimate purchaser and is reflected in the price of the units. Mr. Knight requested Tabling this if Council needs more time to consider this. * C/M Rohr MOVED to TABLE Item 6, SECONDED by C/M Schumann.

She said as is currently configured, Bays 15 and 16 are one restaurant and this would be for two restaurants in three bays. She said Point Plaza is located at Nob Hill Road, Westwood plat on Parcel A, which is located at the northeast corner of Nob Hill Road and Westwood Drive. She said the restaurants were approved by the Planning Commission and by the City Council. Ms. Carpenter said the applicant was unaware that he needed a separate approval for the alcohol consumption. She said the applicant has met all applicable City codes in this application and the applicant has stated that the restaurants will be open no later than midnight.

He said the Board has found that due to illnesses and absences, there are not enough people to man the office at all times. He said the Board has requested an increase of membership. He said he feels this would be an appropriate increase. Mayor Abramowitz said the Consumer Affairs office is very busy. He said seniors are getting ripped off and he feels the Consumer Affairs Board is doing a marvelous job. V/M Hoffman said the Consumer Affairs Board has accomplished a great deal. He said when the Consumer Affairs Board contacts a vendor, a lot more attention is given than when the injured party makes contact. He said he feels this Board provides one of the best services in the City. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE END OF PUBLIC HEARINGS REPORTS 10. City Council C/M Schumann - No report. C/M Rohr - No report. C/M Bender - No report. V/M Hoffman - No report. Mayor Abramowitz said there was a Town Hall meeting held in the Council Chambers last night which was called by Representative Peter Deutsch. He said there were a minimal number of people who attended; however, quality is more important than quantity. He said Representative Deutsch gave the residents some insight on what his feeling was regarding this year's session in Tallahassee. He said there is no money for grants or any other request. He said the City was privileged to present a grant request that was assembled by Assistant City Manager Dina McDermott that may be approved. 11. City Manager City Manager Kelly said the Internal Auditor should begin with the City on March 11, 1991. He said among the many responsibilities will be the research of the utilities, cable companies, ambulance service and many other challenges. City Manager Kelly said he has met with Commander Michael Goldstein regarding the lack of response to suspicious characters or activities by the residents within their own community. He said Commander Goldstein has had a SET team or undercover team going to the various communities when alerted about a problem within a community. He said many of these people are undercover and have been present throughout the communities. City Manager Kelly expressed his concern and the concern of Commander Goldstein regarding the residents not reporting these undercover men who have been hiding in the bushes and other places who look like they are suspicious. Mayor Abramowitz said these undercover people are dressed in an unusual way and a resident should report a suspicious character in the neighborhood. He said there was a case six months ago where aluminum storm shutters were being stolen in the eastern portion of the City and, due to one woman reporting something suspicious, these men were apprehended. He said the BSO needs cooperation from the residents of the City. 12. City Attorney City Attorney Ruf said he understands that a court order by Judge Streitfeld was to be signed late Tuesday afternoon, February 26, 1991; however, he has not seen the court order at present. He suggested a special meeting be called as soon as the court order is received to review and discuss this order. Mayor Abramowitz requested that each member of Council review their calendars to call a special meeting for this and at that time other items will be discussed. He said it is extremely important that Council understands this court order. He said a special meeting will be called for Thursday, February 28, 1991 or Friday, March 1, 1991. He said he has been contacted by the newspapers and he told them he did not understand what the court order meant.
