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. Page 4 City Council Regular Meeting 10/24/90/KJ 1 I 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 continuation) 12. 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. Page 5 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. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE QRD ?NAMES PXSLI C REAR.T GA - 7 a,� Q R K, S"o;"uAi,�y )Development 13. a.

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. Page 6 �-- City Council Regular Meeting 10/24/90/KJ IJ II L- 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. * V/M Hoffman MOVED to TABLE Item 13.b., SECONDED by C/M Schumann.

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. RESOMUTIQ44 Pp"unity Developments 6 . a.
