schedule a Workshop regarding items placed on referendum. Mayor
Abramowitz said a consensus was unnecessary and a Workshop would
be scheduled.
V/M Katz discussed a joint Resolution between the Broward League
of Cities and Broward County Building Trades Council regarding
unlicensed contractors. He requested the City prepare a similar
Resolution and Mayor Abramowitz concurred and said the Resolution
would prevent residents from being swindled by dishonest or
unlicensed contractors.
C/M Schreiber questioned whether the Ordinance regulated or
controlled unlicensed contractors. City Attorney Kraft said he
would research and advise.
Mayor Abramowitz said there was nothing in the Ordinance to
regulate unlicensed contractors. He indicated he would try to
arrange to license Building Inspectors to issue summonses where
the City would get 500 of the fines. He said contractors should
be licensed and insured. He also asked for a consensus to change
Council members to Commissioners. Mayor Abramowitz suggested the
item be agendized for the Workshop.

application would remain in place.
