REPORTS

C/M Schumann said a "Tournament for Tommy" (Tommy Van Note, son of
a T.A.F. Board member with a serious illness) would be held at
Tamarac Park from April 30 through May 2. He said activities
included a softball tournament, card show, carnival, games with
prizes, raffling baseballs donated by two major baseball teams, a
Home Run Derby and food would be donated by Arby's and Hooters.
In addition, Y-100 was bringing a surprise guest, KISS would
participate and a third radio station might participate and all
monies would be put "In Trust for Tommy".
C/M Schumann stated the Marlins Baseball Team was contacted and
they proposed a "Tamarac Night" at Joe Robbie Stadium for any home
game scheduled for any Monday through Thursday. He said a section
of seats (at regular prices) would be blocked off and a percentage
of the money would go back to the City and be deposited "In Trust
for Tommy".
V/M Katz said he walked in the fifth Annual March of Dimes Walk-A-
Thon and complimented Staff and the 31 City employees who
participated.
C/M Schreiber said he was happy the single --family garbage contract
was approved. He voiced his thoughts about Staff and Council and
the Deposit clause in the garbage contract for multi -family
dwellings and said the clause should be removed. In addition, a
drainage problem still existed on 71st Place and 108th Terrace and
it could be resolved because there was $190,000 in the budget.
Ms. McDermott responded that City Attorney Kraft and Staff were
directed to revise the Southern Sanitation garbage contract and
she would research the matter and report back to Council.
C/M Abramowitz stated he did not run in the recent election or
promise the drainage problem would be resolved on 71st Street. He
said engineers advised the problem could be resolved but it would
cost over $400,000 and he suggested discussing this problem with
City Engineer Sparks and possibly the amount could be less. He
concurred that Tamarac Elementary School was overcrowded and an
addition would be constructed in the future. He said the City
would be approached for use of their facilities for children to
attend Summer School in order to advance their grades. He said it
would not cost the residents any money and City Manager Kelly and
the School officials would advise what was needed and report back
to Council.

C/M Schumann said a "Tournament for Tommy" (Tommy Van Note, son of
a T.A.F. Board member with a serious illness) would be held at
Tamarac Park from April 30 through May 2. He said activities
included a softball tournament, card show, carnival, games with
prizes, raffling baseballs donated by two major baseball teams, a
Home Run Derby and food would be donated by Arby's and Hooter's.
In addition, Y-100 was bringing a surprise guest, KISS would
participate and a third radio station might participate and all
monies would be put "In Trust for Tommy".
C/M;,5chumann stated the Marlins Baseball Team was contacted and
-=theme-proposed a "Tamarac Night" at Joe Robbie Stadium for any home
gam# scheduled Tor any Monday through Thursday. He said a section
of seats (at regular prices)„ would be blocked off and a percentage
of the money would go back to the City and be deposited "In Trust
for Tommy".
V/M Katz said he walked in the fifth Annual March of Dimes Walk-A-
Thon and complimented Staff and the 31 City employees who
participated.
C/M Schreiber said he was happy the single-family garbage contract
was approved. He voiced his thoughts about Staff and Council and
the Deposit clause in the garbage contract for multi -family
dwellings and said the clause should be removed. In addition, a
drainage problem still existed on 71st Place and 108th Terrace and
it could be resolved because there was $190,000 in the budget.
Ms. McDermott responded that City Attorney Kraft and Staff were
directed to revise the Southern Sanitation garbage contract and
she would research the matter and report back to Council.
C/M Abramowitz stated he did not run in the recent election or
promise the drainage problem would be resolved on 71st Street. He
said engineers advised the problem could be resolved but it would
cost over $400,000 and he suggested discussing this problem with
City Engineer Sparks and possibly the amount could be less. He
concurred that Tamarac Elementary School was overcrowded and an
addition would be constructed in the future. He said the City
would be approached for use of their facilities for children to
attend Summer School in order to advance their grades. He said it
would not cost the residents any money and City Manager Kelly and
the School officials would advise what was needed and report back
to Council.
