PUBLIC PARTI IPATI N - 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. Gil Narins, 10419 Clairmont Circle, and member of Kings Point Civic Association, voiced comments regarding a proposed school bus depot on Land Section 7. He said the public and Council noted their opposition. He referred to the School Board, an excessive amount of vehicles, polluting the environment and said the public should be informed and Council should take action so the bus depot was not built. He referenced acreage owned by Sam Butters and stated the School Board was aware that residents objected to a bus depot. Joe Semenik, Vice President of Mainlands 1 and 2, discussed concerns regarding the budget pertaining to street improvements and beautifi- cation. He said the needs of the people living east of the Turnpike were forgotten and requested beautifying the median and replacing lights at the fountain and front entrance. Pat Mastifino, Mainlands 1 & 2, commented on a traffic light opposite the front entrance and stated it was difficult for anyone to turn onto Commercial Boulevard because the light stayed red for a long time. He voiced concerns about the ducks and Mayor Abramowitz said it was against the law to discourage ducks from being in a certain area. Mr. Mastifino requested the City do something about the median and said shrubs were ordered several years ago but only a fraction were planted and the balance of shrubs ordered had not been received. Mayor Abramowitz said Traffic Engineering advised the maximum a light could stay red was 90 seconds and very little could be done to beautify Commercial Boulevard because it was a State road. He said a traffic study would be requested regarding the light. V/M Katz discussed a traffic flow study enabling people from Mainlands 1 City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 4 and 2 to safely cross Commercial Boulevard and explained the safety aspect and why the lights stayed red for an extended period of time. He suggested that residents visit and offer alternatives for submittal to Richard Ronskavitz, Broward County Traffic Engineering. Muriel Davis, Mainlands 1 & 2, commented on City Manager Noe's response to the May 22 letter from the President of Mainlands 1 and 2 regarding funding. She said requests were made to Mayor Abramowitz and V/M Katz for more lighting at the entrance and to beautify the medians. She said the President of Mainlands 1 & 2 also requested that shrubs and trees be replaced and she referred to $280,000 for beautification. She also said Mayor Abramowitz had advised that Grants might be forthcoming. Ms. Davis said the entrance was a disgrace and trees and bushes should be planted on Commercial Boulevard and the canal adjacent to the entrance. She indicated a lack of trees increased pollution and noise and referred to the Tree Ordinance noted in the December, 1993, Tam -A -Gram indicating replacement of all trees removed from commercial and residential areas. Mayor Abramowitz said three years ago, approximately $12,000 was spent to repair pumps at the entrance. He said a bus shelter was also constructed and FP&L would be contacted regarding the lighting. He said he hoped the City would have money this year for beautification for the entire City. Lou Dubois, Mainlands 1 & 2, referred to lighting at the entrance and said trees were very huge and blocked lights on Commercial Boulevard and Mainlands Drive. He suggested having more lights or trimming the trees. Robert Casper, former President of Mainlands 1 & 2, said residents of Mainlands 1 and 2 were forgotten and said three calls made to V/M Katz were not returned. V/M Katz disagreed and stated he would return all calls if requested. Mayor Abramowitz reiterated that Commercial Boulevard was a State road and the City spent its own money trimming shrubs at the entrance to the Turnpike. He said only grass was allowed to be cut on State property, the State recently acquired a portion of Commercial Boulevard at State Road 7 and from Pine Island Road to the Sawgrass Expressway. He said he hoped to get Grants to beautify Commercial Boulevard. 1 1 1 J City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 5 CONSENT AGENDA 5.

Mayor Abramowitz said Item 6.a. was Approved together with extensions, the petitioner was ready to begin, the City would have complete control until the project was completed and Item 6.a. did not represent Bond Approval. He said the City had concerns and City Manager Noe met with the petitioner. t J City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 10 City Manager Noe questioned whether the site plan met current standards and questioned whether the fees were properly calculated. Mike Vonder Meulen, Director of Planning, said, yes, to both questions and indicated that the City would receive fees over and above what was to be collected. V/M Katz said Attorney Alan Gabriel, representing the petitioner, was requested to comply with stipulations at time of submission, i.e., that the site plan had to comply with all changes in regulations. Mr. Vonder Meulen said the stipulation was noted on the site plan. Mayor Abramowitz said adult congregate living facilities paid no City taxes but the petitioner agreed to pay equivalent fees based on those City taxes. He said the Woodmont Property Homeowners Association endorsed the project. C/M Schreiber referred to Attorney Gabriel's 12/10/90 letter and a discount off the tax rates although the letter was never approved by the City. He also questioned the status of City Manager Noe's letter dated 6/21/94 recommending deletions and corrections pertaining to removal of exposures. Mayor Abramowitz concurred with City Manager Noe's letter and said the City would not be exposed to any liability and there was no discount. Discussion followed regarding Mr. Noe's letter and reference to a feasibility study. Mayor Abramowitz stated the City would not approve anything which gave it any responsibility regarding the project and suggested Attorney Gabriel be given a copy of Mr. Noe's 6/21/94 letter. City Manager Noe said he communicated with Special Counsel for the City, Attorney Alan Ruf, and the Resolutions were prepared by Bond Counselor, Howard Whittaker. He said the City was authorizing, not borrowing, the sale of Industrial Development Bonds for which it would receive more than $100,000 for being the conduit in the transaction. He said the City was not taking any responsibilities towards the feasibility study and the Resolutions accommodated his recommended changes. Mayor Abramowitz requested a recess at 9:58 a.m. and the meeting reconvened at 10:05 a.m. with everyone present. J City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 11 5.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: ORDINANCE 0-94-4-PASSED Public Hearing held. APPROVED on Second and Final Reading (Revision 4) C/W Machek requested clarification of "one page on a ballot". Mayor Abramowitz said she would have her question answered very shortly. City Attorney Kraft read Temp. Ord. #1683, Revision 4, by Title. C/M Mishkin MOVED APPROVAL, SECONDED by C/W Machek. Mayor Abramowitz OPENED the PUBLIC HEARING. Si Bauer, resident of Westwood 21, said there was controversy in the past between the Charter Board and Council and questioned whether the Charter Board would be eliminated. V/M Katz said a Charter Review Board/Charter Board's main function was to review the Charter and make recommendations to put referendums on the ballot. He noted that the City Council reviewed the Charter and unnecessary elections were costly. He said Tamarac was the only City in the State which had an elected Charter Board and Charter Board members should be appointed and not elected. C/M Mishkin agreed with V/M Katz that the Charter Board did not review the Charter, make recommendations or put referendums on the ballot. He said the Charter Board obstructed Council and members should be appointed not elected. Stan Bernard, former Chairman of the Charter Board, voiced concerns regarding the Charter Board and said duties included reviewing the Charter. He agreed there was a controversy between the Charter Board and City Council and said there was no need for an elected Charter Board. He said the Charter Board's main function should be to review the Charter. Mayor Abramowitz stated there was a need for a Charter Review Board and City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 12 he referred to Carla Coleman's study of the Charter. He said Ms. Coleman made recommendations which were opposed by the Charter Board and advised that Council did not have the time to properly review the Charter. He said it was up to the public to make the decision. C/M Schreiber said the Charter Board was created to watch the elected officials and residents could approach them with complaints relating to ethics. He agreed politics caused the problems between the Charter Board and Council and an opinion from Attorney General Butterworth stated that the Charter Board did not act properly and many duties were taken away. He said he hoped in the future that new appointees would be able to properly review the Charter. Mr. Bauer recommended the residents be kept informed by publicizing information in the Tam -A -Gram and the Sun Sentinel. Mayor Abramowitz concurred and CLOSED the PUBLIC HEARING. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 16. PUBLIC HEARING. MOTION TO ADOPT Temp. Ord. #1.684 on second reading to place a Charter Amendment on the September 8, 1994, ballot to eliminate Charter Board appointments to the Redistricting Committee and to reduce the number of Redistricting Committee members.

He said Council's four members and Charter Board's four members presently appointed a ninth member. He stated that if Ordinance #1683 was adopted, the Charter Board would not have the ability to make any appointments. He said Council would appoint four members who would appoint a fifth member and the Mayor did not 1 ri, 1 1 City Council 6/22/94/PP Page 13 Regular Meeting make any appointments.

Ord. #1654 on second reading to place a Charter Amendment on the September 8, 1994, ballot to change the method of determining Mayor and Councilmember salaries. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: ORDINANCE 0-94-6-PASSED Public Hearing held. Revision 2 was APPROVED on Second and Final Reading incorporating the provisions contained in Revision 5; namely removing the formula by which the Mayor and Councilmember salaries would be determined and by inserting the salary of $11,000. for the Mayor and $8,750. for Councilmembers. Revision 5 of Temp. Ord. #1654 was adopted pursuant to the emergency provisions contained in Section 166.041(3)(b), Florida Statutes. City Attorney Kraft referred to Revision #2 and read Temp. Ord. #1654 by Title. V/M Katz MOVED APPROVAL for discussion, SECONDED by C/W Machek. V/M Katz recommended Amending Ordinance #1654 to include Revision #5 but removing the formula in Section 4.04. Mayor Abramowitz concurred and discussion followed on the formula and Revision #2. TAPE 3 City Attorney Kraft said Revision #2 was being discussed because it was advertised and considered at the First Reading. V/M Katz referred to new salaries for Mayor and Councilmembers which was discussed at the last Council Workshop. Mayor Abramowitz said the new salaries would be $11,500 and $8,750 for Mayor and Council, respectively. Mayor Abramowitz OPENED the PUBLIC HEARING. V/M Katz MOVED APPROVAL to delete the formula establishing the salary J City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 14 of elected officials. Abe Garr, resident of Kings Point, voiced comments regarding the new salaries and said volunteers should not be compensated. He stated that Mayor and Council should not request an increase in salary. Marvin Seidel, resident of Kings Point, said he objected to the percentage of the increase but not the increase itself because Council had not received an increase in salary during the past 12 years. Mayor Abramowitz CLOSED the PUBLIC HEARING with no further response. C/W Machek said Adoption of Ordinance #1654 took the increase out of the hands of the Council and put it in the hands of the voters. C/M Schreiber said he had opposed the salary increase and Voted "No" to Ordinance #1654 at the first Reading because the voters would never be able to vote for a salary increase. He said after thinking it through, he would not oppose an increase now but it was still up to the voters to vote for or against the increase. Mayor Abramowitz stated the formula was based on a State Statute pertaining to population and salaries of Councilmembers in the Cities of Sunrise, Plantation and North Lauderdale were much higher than what Ordinance #1654 proposed. He said he spoke to many young people who were elected officials and nobody would leave a paying job which supported a family to earn $11,000 a year or $8,750. He said young people did not want to take money out of their pockets and agreed Council had not gotten an increase for many years. He stated it was still up to the voters to vote for or against the increase. V/M Katz agreed younger people today were mostly in two -income households and it was very difficult for them to give up one income to put in the hours that working for the City required. He stated that the Charter mandated that volunteers did not get a salary but the Charter Review Board could put it on referendum. He stated in previous campaigns that Council was drastically underpaid but he got twice as many votes as all his opponents by stating that. He said he hoped the voters would approve the salary increase. 1 1-1 1 City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 15 CM Machek SECONDED the MOTION. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE City Attorney Kraft advised that Council voted on Revision #2 and now had to Adopt Ordinance #1654 as Amended. V/M Katz MOVED APPROVAL to Temp.

MOTION TO ADOPT __Temp. .RRgsg. #6767 awarding Request for Proposal #93-19 to David M.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTIQN: RESOLUTION R-94-121-PASSED APPROVED City Attorney Kraft read Temp. Reso. #6767 by Title. C/M Schreiber MOVED APPROVAL, SECONDED by C/W Machek. City Manager Noe said the study was very important because there were discrepancies regarding internal equity, i.e., some Supervisors made more than the Department Head they worked for. He stated that some salaries were not competitive with other Broward County Cities and there was no practical system which reviewed employees and compensated them for their performance. Mr. Noe said a Committee appointed by Larry DuPre, Personnel Director, recommended David M. Griffith & Associates to resolve the aforementioned issues. He said upon presentation to Council, the results of the study should be implemented. Mayor Abramowitz said a former study was done and it turned out badly but agreed that Mr. Noe was trying to move forward. He said implementing the study was done by the Elected Officials and not within the scope of the City Manager or Personnel Director. Mr. Noe said it was the responsibility of David M. Griffith & Associates, Staff, and himself, to present facts which could be implemented. He said Elected Officials should be concerned that employees are treated fairly, equitably and competitively. Larry DuPre said in 1993, he recommended a classification/pay/benefit study. He said the present pay plan was not legally defensible and some employees made 33-1/3% more than other employees with similar tenure doing the same work. He said the study created controversy and David M. Griffith & Associates was selected because they could conduct a fair, equitable and defensible study. He referenced the Committee and the process which unanimously selected David M. Griffith & Associates. j City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 22 Mayor Abramowitz questioned when would the study commence and Mr. DuPre said immediately. City Manager Noe congratulated Council for authorizing the expenditure and to Mr. DuPre for taking the action by presenting the matter to Council. Michael Hartley, Consultant, said David M. Griffith & Associates' study ascertained whether the employee was properly classified, paid appropriately and fairly as compared to the labor market and every position would be evaluated to determine competitive worth. He said the salary survey would establish pay in the labor market to reflect competitive salary ranges. He said the study would review salaries, benefits, develop job descriptions to meet the Americans with Disabilities Act and develop and install a performance and appraisal system. Mayor Abramowitz questioned whether the study would encompass the salaries of Elected Officials. Mr. Hartley said David M. Griffith & Associates also offered recommendations for Elected Officials and the cost was included in the $36,600. V/M Katz voiced concerns regarding the employee who received higher wages than what the job should have paid and questioned whether a new employee would be compensated at the salary determined by the study. City Manager Noe said David M. Griffith & Associates would be consulted with regard to implementation. C/M Schreiber questioned whether David M. Griffith & Associates study found some positions unnecessary. Mr. Hartley said the study did not include an analysis or evaluation of personnel but a recommendation could be made if there was a problem regarding those positions. C/M Schreiber referred to Sections #12, 22 and 26 in the Agreement, i.e., insurance, beginning and ending dates and City not being obligated to a Third Party, respectively. He questioned David M. Griffith & Associates' position if an employee sued the City because the salary was reduced as a result of the survey. Mr. Hartley said David M. Griffith & Associates would stand behind their recommendations, if implemented, because the recommendations were City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 23 defensible but if their recommendations were changed and then implemented, David M. Griffith & Associates would not be responsible. TAPE 5 Mr. DuPre said David M. Griffith & Associates made changes to Section #12, Insurance, and there was a time certain. He referred to a study pertaining to salaries for part-time Elected Officials at Broward County. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 10. MOTION TO ADOPT .

He said that the bid tabulations were also incorrect and noted a difference of $295. Mr. Vaillant said the correct figure for Perkin Elmer was $27,612.80, not $27,912.80, and discussion followed.

Sherry Bauer, Purchasing Officer, said the bus seated a maximum of 20 passengers and would provide transportation for the residents. She said there were two wheelchair compartments, seatbelts and cloth seats. C/W Machek discussed concerns regarding Account #001-550-572-640 and questioned whether the funding was Social Services or Parks and Recreation. Ms. Bauer said, Social Services under Recreation. C/W Machek agreed with the purchase and noted the City presently had two vans, one car and only one Social Services driver. She questioned whether the vans or the bus could be used in the evening for the Teen Club or recreational functions. Mayor Abramowitz voiced objections to the funding and recommended using gas taxes. He referenced Broward County's letter mentioning an additional $250,000 to be used only for transportation. City Manager Noe agreed and said gas taxes went into the General Fund and Thelma Fagelbaum, Deputy Finance Director, would go through this Fiscal Year's budget and move those taxes into a special fund. He said he did not know whether the vans were purchased with special revenues but the vans should be available for everyone if the purchase came from the General Fund . Ed Doyle, Parks & Recreation Operations Manager, said he did not know about the funding but the vans were used in the past for Social Services. He said there was a need and Recreation would also like to use them. He said the bus could transport children to Don Carter's and other local facilities. Discussion continued on gas taxes and uses for the bus. Mayor Abramowitz said there was nothing wrong about Recreation charging a fee to use a vehicle. City Manager Noe said the matter would be researched and he l City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 26 would advise. Mayor Abramowitz discussed money for a traffic light which Broward County was not allowing the City to install. Discussion followed regarding Social Services vehicles and drivers. Mr. Doyle advised there were two full-time drivers, two vans and a sedan used when handicapped people could not get up into the van. He said he hoped another driver would be proposed in the next budget. He said the drivers worked during the day taking residents to the supermarket and medical appointments. C/M Schreiber questioned whether there was a warranty and provisions for wheelchairs. Ms. Bauer said there was a three year warranty and there were two lifts for the wheelchairs. Mayor Abramowitz discussed Broward County and Margate's buses and said Margate's buses were purchased with gas taxes, that they were previously free but now people would be charged. He said through the Department of Elder Affairs, the State was requested to provide buses for Social Services. V/C Katz discussed Margate's buses and the Focal Point Senior Center in Margate.

Discussion was held on lights which were 75 feet high on the soccer fields. Alan Levine, Public Works Operations Manager, referred to lights at the baseball field and Recreation Center. Mayor Abramowitz questioned the delay to replace a small number of lights. Mr. Levine said it was not cost effective to replace one or two lights because the minimum charge was approximately $80 an hour for the crane and platform. He said someone was called when the field was closed and Public Works tried for five years to get an aerial bucket truck. He noted that the Contractor's Tree Inventory study indicated the City should commence the inventory. He said the bucket truck would be used for maintenance, beautification and facility maintenance. Mayor Abramowitz said six people were cutting 7,000,000 square feet of grass. City Manager Noe questioned whether Public Works had the manpower to operate the equipment and Mr. Levine said two trained individuals would operate the aerial bucket truck four days per week. V/M Katz said an aerial bucket truck was needed in 1993 and commended City Manager Noe for putting one in the 1994/95 budget. C/W Machek questioned whether the aerial bucket truck could trim the trees at Mainlands 1 and 2 and Mayor Abramowitz said FP&L was responsible for those trees. Mr. Levine said three trees were the City's responsibility. C/M Schreiber questioned the feasibility of the purchase and said it was not cost effective. He suggested privatizing, discussed his calculations and said the primary purpose was trimming trees. Mayor Abramowitz disagreed. C/M Schreiber said private contractors could trim the trees and the cost would be less than what the City was paying. He questioned whether there was back-up showing costs. Mayor Abramowitz said he also questioned the feasibility of the purchase and noted grass cutting on the medians was the City's responsibility. He said excess monies could be used to trim trees. He said City Hall, B.S.O. City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 28 and the Recreation buildings were pressure cleaned. He said one year the trees were cut by a private contractor and the cost was approximately $50,000.

Mr. Levine said, yes, and Ms. Bauer agreed. V/M Katz stated the City once had a private contractor trimming trees and that resulted in his opposition to many items on the 1993 budget and privatization worked in certain areas. Mayor Abramowitz questioned whether the truck was cost effective and said many people complained because lights were out but it was not cost effective to replace one or two lights. Vernon Hargray, Public Services Director, said the bucket truck purchased for the City of Hallandale was cost effective and he referenced tree trimming, branch removal and maintenance activities, i.e., window washing. Discussion followed on the proper way to trim trees and Grant money. C/M Mishkin voiced concerns regarding employees who would operate the truck and Mayor Abramowitz's comments regarding an analysis and suggested a truck with an 80 foot extension. City Manager Noe stated the contract would not be executed if an analysis indicated the truck was not cost effective. Mayor Abramowitz agreed. Mr. Levine said an 80 foot extension could cost up to $190,000 and it was 1 I City Council Regular Meeting 6/22/94/PP Page 29 not cost effective. He said the 55-foot aerial bucket truck would be operational for about 15 years. VOTE: V/M Katz - AYE C/M Mishkin - NAY C/M Schreiber - NAY C/W Machek - AYE Mayor Abramowitz - AYE 14.
