Qsnaral Admin�ntratlye
S. PIPCPPAX04 ,n PORAUBLM ACTION regarding suspended drivers
license offenders.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION;,
City Attorney to research and prepare Ordinance. (See page 8 for continued
discussion)
City Manager Kelly said at a recent Council meeting it was decided to
discuss at the present meeting regarding the number of suspended
drivers that are arrested in Tamarac. He said there have been a lot
of recent headlines about the abuses the system permits and this is a
continuing source of frustration. He said he has provided copies of
specific violations in the police reports regarding this.
City Manager Kelly displayed two large files with numerous violations
of multiple suspensions and arrests made in the City of Tamarac since
June 1, 1990 and he described the several of the violations, some of
which had as many as 30 accounts.
City Manager Kelly said the Broward County Sheriff's Office In
Tamarac is the leader in D.U.T, arrests. He said this means the
rising of motorists insurance costs and the threat of the health and
welfare of the citizens in the City, County and State.
City Manager Kelly said in Oregon, the municipalities passed an
Ordinance for confiscation of vehicles of people driving with
suspended licenses and the vehicles are then sold at auction with the
monies being returned to the municipalities. He suggested
researching this possibility for Tamarac and has spoken to M.A.D.D.
(Mothers Against Drunk Driving) and Captain Goldstein of the Broward
Sheriff's Office regarding this possibility. He recommended stiffer
penalties, heavier fines and community service for these violators.
He asked for support from the Broward League of Cities and all other
official Boards and Committees available for support.
C/M Schumann asked if most of these violators are transients coming
through Tamarac and City Manager Kelly agreed.
City Manager Kelly said due to the major arterials of Comnercial
Boulevard, University Drive, and the Sawgrass Expressway, there are
many transients coming through Tamarac which has strict enforcement.
C/M Schumann asked what happens if there is a lienholder involved in
the case of a confiscated vehicle.
City Manager Kelly said these issues need to be researched.

C/M Rohr asked if there are any legal problems with the City drawing
up this type of Ordinance. He said he is concerned whether it is
unconstitutional or not. He suggested accessing all legal
stipulations regarding this.
Mayor Abramowitz said the Broward Sheriff's Office in Tamarac has one
officer who is the leader in DUI arrests.(See Page 8 for

modifying rates and charges for utility customers west of State
Road 7 (441) (TAMARAC IITILITIBS NEST).
SYNOPSIS or ACTION_ RESOLUTION NO. 90-249 - PASSED
Public Hearing was held.
APPROVED
City Attorney Ruf read by title.
* C/M Bender. MOVED to ADOPT 7,=2- RAeo_ 95918, SECONDED by
* C/M Rohr.
City Manager Kelly said this is required each year and is only for
Utilities West. He said the rates are not being increased. Mayor
Abramowitz said this is required by law to be done each year.
Bob Foy, Director of Utilities and Engineering, said this is a rate
Resolution being addressed but the rates are not being effected to
the residents. He said the service availability charge is as
follows:
a) Rate Resolution says that the large users and the service
availability charge is set by the Utility Director, which
includes the large user, but also says that those charged on a
2" meter are based on the ERC's. He said this is clarified by
saying that for anyone that has more than one 2" meter, the
Utility Director sets their service availability charge.
b) Each year the consumption of the single-family dwellings and
all other users in the City are looked at and the equivalent
number of residential connections is derived. He said these
connections are sold to future developers on the basis of the
number of ERC's. He said this year the consumption for
single-family dwellings went down, the number of ERC's for
most of the business customers went up.
c) Deletion of the requirement of delingent charges. He said
the City spends more money on postage sending these bills out
than is collected. �
d) Deletion of a service availability charge for single family
irrigatiob meters. He said it is assumed that in a single
family dwelling, they are paying their service availability
charge in their master meter.
e) Modification of the provisions of the rate Resolution where
CIAC funds are used. He said the rate Resolution was written
in 1987 and the Resolution stated how much was to be set
aside from CIAC funds for debt reduction. He said that was
only applicable for that year and needs to be modified.
f) Deletion of second call back for meter installation fee. He
said the policy has been changed and if something is wrong
with the City's meter and the meter needs to be set again,
there will be no fee.
g) Elimination of the provisions for the dual check valve.

City Council Regular Meeting
10/24/90/KJ
Mayor Abramowitz said the Utilities Director should come before
Council if there are any flagrant abuses of the charges struck and
they will be reinstituted.
Irving Katz, resident of Lakes of Carriage Hills, asked if the debt
reduction deletion would just be for 1987 and would there be one
initiated for the upcoming year.
Mr. Foy said that is correct. He said the section that was 4eleted
specifically addressed a given year and there is a specific 4nount
only applicable for that year. He said the future customerslreed to
pay their share of the debt service and everything else.

V/M Hoffman said there is $1,450.00 owed to the City since 1965. He
suggested tabling this item until the debt is taken care of pr a
determination is made whether this money is due to the City or if
this is an error.
Kelly Carpenter, Director of Community Development, said when the
report came from the Finance Department, the applicant's attorney was
notified that there was an outstanding balance for lot clearing from
April, 1985. She said folios were compared and it was determined
that those properties are most probably properties sold to Gzeenview
Apartments and sold to Tract 37 Partnership prior to the date the
lots were cleared in April, 1985. She said a final verification is
not available from Public Works at present since the records are in
storage either at 61st Street or in Miami. She said, based on
research by the applicant and Staff, that it is possibly not
Leadership Housing's property but belongs to someone else. She
suggested that Council hear the item and Staff recommends aPlproval
subject to either payment or a resolution of these problems.
* b. V/M Hoffman MOVED to HEAR the application of Leadership
Housing and make a determination after the hearing as to
whether to APPROVE, DISAPPROVE or APPROVE on basis of
settlement of the alleged debt.

Ms. Carpenter said this is an application by Leadership Housing to
rezone a 34.538 acre parcel from A-5 (Excavation) to RM-10 (Planned
Apartment District). She said this is the only A-5 designated area
in the City which was mined for a cockpit. She said the parcel is
located near the northeast corner of Nob Hill Road and Commercial
Boulevard. She said the parcel is designated low -medium residential,
6 to 10 dwelling units to the acre on the Tamarac and Broward County
Land Use Plans. She said RM-10 is an appropriate zoning district.
She said the A-5 zoning category does not allow residential uses
which is not in conformance with the Land Use Plan. She said if the
applicant had not brought forward an application, the City should.
She said the applicant stated through the plat approval process that
the intention is to permit townhouses but they are not at a site plan
stage on this parcel at present.
Ms. Carpenter said the surrounding land uses are as follows: north -
commercial recreation, south -commercial B-2 and B-3, east -industrial
LI-1 the VGC Parcel, west -commercial B-3. She said there is no
concurrency review associated with this rezoning request and Staff
has not accomplished a concurrency review which will be done at site
plan. She said the Planning Commission recommended this rezoning
from A-5 to RM-10 as appropriate and consistent with the Land Use
Plan at their September 13, 1990 meeting. She said Staff recommends
approval.
Mayor Abramowitz said he would like to have a Motion that if this is
approved, the City Clerk be directed not to process it until this
situation is cleared up.
Ed Stacker, attorney for Leadership Housing, said they did not know
there was an outstanding invoice related to other property under the
ownership of Leadership Housing. He said they have searched through
the public records and the folio numbers have been changed due to
property ownership changing. He said he has warranty deeds available
to present. He said one of the properties in question had changed
ownership in late 1984 and the other in early 1985. He said they
have no problem with the Motion and requested Council to grant
approval of the rezoning subject to payment in full or verification
that the documents and copies of the deeds demonstrate that the
property was not owned by Leadership Housing at that time.
V/M Hoffman said he is uncomfortable that if the money is owed and is
paid, the project goes forward but if the money is not owed, it
should come before Council again for assurance of this.
C/M Bender said this should move forward with a provision made that
if the money is owed, it will then have to be brought back before
Council and, if it is not owed, it can be acted upon at present.

A,,YNOPSIS OF )ICTION:
(See Page 4 for previous discussion.) City Attorney to research and
prepare Ordinance.
C/M Bender said he would like to see Council to give direction to the
City Attorney to prepare an Ordinance which will require
investigation by his staff as to the legal validity of it's contents
to withstand court action if challenged.
V/M Hoffman agreed on the legality investigation by the City
Attorney. He said he feels there are too many people driving
illegally and if something can be done to correct this, it should be
done. He suggested impounding a vehicle if a person is caught
without a valid license for their first offense and not releasing the
vehicle until a valid license is produced. He said for multiple
offenses, if possible, the vehicle should be confiscated and, if the
vehicle is not owned by the driver, the owners should have a
responsibility to make sure the driver is licensed. He suggested
fining the owner $500 to $1,000 before releasing the vehicle, He
said -this should be done to send a message State-wide and Mayor
Abramowitz agreed.
C/M Bender asked that the City Attorney offer as many options to
Council which were utilized in documents similar to this Ordinance so
the decision to be made is predicated on what other cities have done
for determination of the options to utilize.
C/M Rohr suggested using the influence of the Broward and Florida
League of Cities to pass a Resolution.
Mayor Abramowitz said this has merit.

Bob Foy, Director of Utilities/Engineering, said this is a part of
the Utilities program to reduce ground water infusion into the sewer
system. He said Staff expects to line 12 manholes and wet wells
within the next 12 months. He said every gallon of water per minute
entering into the system amounts to a half a million gallons of water
the City must pay Broward County Utilities for every year in the
amount of $600.00. He said this will amount to approximately
$40,000.00. He said Staff has met all of the Code requirements and.
recommends approval. He said the money is available.
V/M Hoffman asked if the City would save $600.00 per year.
Mr. Foy said the City will save $600.00 for every million gallons of
water entering into the system. He said the amount of water entering
into each of the manholes varies; however, the quantitly is
considerable and more than a million gallons per year.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if this is economical and will it save the
City money.
Mr. Foy said this money will be recouped in three years.
