Stanley Keroes said in 1992, Council was advised there was no
permit but he disagreed and produced a copy.
Discussion followed regarding the permit, the encroachment and the
complainant and Mr. Keroes said his immediate neighbors did not
object.
Ms. Frasier said in 1992, the deck was red -capped, Mr. Keroes paid
a double -fee for a permit, the Inspector denied the inspection
because the deck was built wrong and the Permit expired. She said
in 1993, the permit was renewed.
Discussion followed on permanent and non -permanent fixtures, i.e.,
decks and contractors. Mr. Keroes said the contractor laid the
foundation and departed before obtaining an electrical permit and
hiring a contractor.
C/M Abramowitz said the deck had to be moved and asked how the
deck was attached to the house. Mr. Keroes said the deck is
attached with a railing and posts set in cement.
C/M Abramowitz mentioned a similar situation and the posts were
cut, leaving the deck to rest on the ground. Mr. Keroes
reiterated that his neighbors did not object.
Ms. Frasier said the deck was portable, it could be moved and did
not need a permit. Discussion continued and Mr. Vonder Meulen said
the deck would not be brought before Council if it rested directly
on the ground.
Ms. Frasier said the existing deck was a structure and discussion
followed again on the encroachment. Mayor Bender said if the deck
could become portable, the problem would be eliminated and he
suggested that Mr. Keroes contact the Building Department. Ms.
Frasier agreed and discussion continued. V/M Katz recommended
that Ms. Frasier communicate with Code Enforcement about Mr.
Keroes being charged again for a permit.

13. MOTION TO ADOPT Temn_ Ord. #166Q on first reading creating a
new Article IV of Chapter 22 of the Code establishing the
Stormwater Management Utility and providing for procedures,
enterprise funding and rates relative thereto.
APPROVED on First Reading. Staff was directed to undertake a
study to incorporate in the legislation a fee for undeveloped
land. Second reading and Public Hearing scheduled for September
8, 1993, at or after 7:30 P.M.
City Attorney Kraft read Temp. Ord. #1660 by Title.
V/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Ord. #1660, SECONDED by C/M
Schreiber.
Mr. Couzzo said the Stormwater Management Utility Program
identified monthly fees for all single-family and multi -family
residential units and an administrative appeal process. He said
Staff recommended a monthly $2 charge for all single-family and
multi -family residential units averaging 1,830 square feet and a
$4 per month charge for commercial property over 3,630 square
feet.
Discussion followed on a study to determine the amount of
impervious surface areas on all commercial property. Mr. Couzzo
said the Stormwater Management Utility Program was an Enterprise
Fund and Mr. Kelly confirmed that monies could only be used for
this Program and nothing else.
Discussion continued on maintenance of the waterways and repairs
to the streets but the first priority was cleaning up the
waterways. Mr. Couzzo advised bids would go out and canals could
be chemically or biologically treated, or mechanically harvested
and it was a continuous process. He suggested that a Special
meeting or Workshop be scheduled when bids were received.
Mayor Bender said the Program should be implemented by October 1.
Mr. Couzzo agreed and said mechanically harvesting was the most
expedient method.
C/M Abramowitz said the Program could not be implemented if the
funds were not in place and he asked if funds could be transferred
from elsewhere. City Attorney Kraft said the Finance Department
would be made aware of the situation and discussion followed.
C/M Schreiber asked why drainage was not identified in the
Ordinance. Mr. Couzzo disagreed and discussion followed regarding
the cost of the operation and maintenance of the Stormwater
Management System. C/M Schreiber suggested that drainage should
be defined and Mr. Kelly said canals were not specifically
identified.
C/M Schreiber asked why there was no monthly fee for undeveloped
land. Mr. Couzzo said the land allowed percolation into the soil
and discussion followed. C/M Schreiber suggested charging the
developers an impact fee for waterway maintenance.
Discussed followed on developed and undeveloped property, pervious
and impervious surfaces, and the City and property owners'
responsibilities regarding vacant property adjacent to a waterway.
V/M Katz said a property owner should pay for a problem they
caused and for making the City clean it up. Mr. Couzzo said he
would incorporate pervious surfaces and charging a different
monthly fee for impacting and maintaining the canals in the
City Council Regular Meeting

Ordinance.
C/M Abramowitz said the City mandated that developers deeded
waterways to the City and he disagreed. He said there are
waterways in unincorporated Fort Lauderdale which still belong to
Broward County and in other municipalities, property owners paid
to maintain the canals.

Mr. Kelly said the City, not the property owner, should properly
maintain the canals and discussion continued regarding the
property owner and impervious surfaces. He agreed with V/M Katz
and suggested proceeding as soon as possible with regard to
exploring undeveloped land. He added currently there was no
funding available and nothing in the Contingency Fund for the
Program. He said he would speak with Mary Blasi, Finance
Director, and he suggested obtaining a short-term loan.
Mr. Couzzo confirmed that Staff would assess undeveloped parcels
and amend the Ordinance to include a monthly fee for said parcels.
Mayor Bender agreed.
City Attorney Kraft stated the Ordinance had to be passed before
the Resolution.

City Attorney Kraft read Temp. Reso. #6523 by Title.
C/M Abramowitz MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Reso. #6523, SECONDED by C/M
Schreiber.
C/M Abramowitz said Broward County was authorized to impose an
additional gas tax. Discussion was held on the percentage splits
to Broward County and each municipality and what each penny of tax
brought to the City of Tamarac. It was noted that Broward County
could impose a $.01 tax and nothing would be shared and an
additional $.01 tax could be imposed and shared.
C/M Abramowitz discussed an Interlocal Agreement between each
municipality and Broward County and said 51% of the population of
each municipality and the Interlocal Agreement had to be
identical. He said if a municipality defaulted, Broward County
had the right to request a higher percentage split.
C/M Abramowitz discussed a meeting with the Broward League of
Cities, Florida League of Cities and Broward County. He said
discussion was held on the formula used to calculate the
percentage splits with further discussion on the Interlocal
Agreement between Broward County and the City of Tamarac. He said
discussion concerned the money which would come back to the City
of Tamarac, the $.03 per gallon increase and the quarterly
percentage split.
C/M Schreiber asked C/M Abramowitz and Broward County to find out
why gasoline prices were higher in Broward County than other
Counties in Florida.
Discussion followed and Mayor Bender referred to Temp. Reso. #6523
City Council Regular Meeting

which would APPROVE the $.01 per gallon increase and the revised
Resolution was devoid of any amount. City Attorney Kraft said
Temp. Reso. #6523 was correct.
V/M Katz confirmed that 51% of the population in Broward County

He discussed the estimate and said funds were available.
C/M Abramowitz said a dock was recently removed at the C-14 Canal
and discussion continued on beautification at the Park.
C/M Schumann said the project went out to bid and he described the
lake area. There was discussion about the dock which was removed
and maintenance of that dock. Mayor Bender said the dock was
worthwhile and agreed that funding was available.
C/M Abramowitz suggested a ramp be constructed and he expressed
concerns about the dock. City Attorney Kraft said the dock at the
C-14 Canal was in litigation and should not be discussed.
Mr. Kelly agreed funding was available and the bids will go out in
cooperation with the Purchasing Division, Risk Manager and City
Attorney. V/M Katz said a dock could be constructed with a
reduced liability.
