C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Item 10, SECONDED by C/W Glasser.
Mike Couzzo, Assistant City Manager and Director of Public
Services, said this is not to exceed $5,000 and will provide
preliminary topographic information so that the City will have a
basis for making an engineering determination as to what problems
do exist on NW 71 Place from Nob Hill Road to NW 108 Terrace. He
said there have been existing drainage problems.
Mr. Couzzo said topographic engineering analysis is to determine
whether it is the crowning of the road or the drainage structures
and the need for additional structures. He said this is the first
of a couple phases that will come.
C/M Schumann asked who owns that piece of property and Mr. Couzzo
said it is a City right -of --way.
C/M Schumann asked what future construction will be performed and
by whom.
Mr. Couzzo said this is the preliminary work that needs to be done
to make a determination as to what construction will take place.
He said it is believed that the road may not be crowned properly
and there is a possibility that the drainage could be corrected if
the road is recrowned and restructured. He said there is also a
possibility that there is insufficient drainage structures on the
road to support the runoff.
C/M Schumann said this should have been done prior to the road
being constructed and Mr. Couzzo agreed.
C/M Schumann said if something is going to be constructed in that
area, the property should belong to a developer and Mr. Couzzo
said it is a City right-of-way.
C/W Glasser said the drainage problem on NW 72 Place has existed
for a long time. She said this problem should have been corrected
when the Isles of Tamarac was constructed.
TAPE 2
C/W Glasser said it behooves the Council to review this situation
for correction in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare
of the residents using this road.
C/M Katz asked if there are any curbing or Swale areas on NW 71
Terrace and Mr. Couzzo said there is no curbing but there are
swale areas. C/M Katz asked where the runoff from the swale area
goes and Mr. Couzzo said there are some storm drainage structures
there.
C/M Katz asked if there may be a possibility of incorporating some
County participation in this and Mr. Couzzo agreed.
Mayor Abramowitz requested that a valley gutter be checked into
and Mr. Couzzo agreed.

11. MOTION TO APPROVE Change Order #1 to the contract with
Utilities Services, Inc., for various changes to the
contract in the additional amount of $29,175.01 and to
APPROVE a 14-day extension to the completion date of the
contract to 4/18/92; and to APPROVE the transfer of
$29,176.00 from CIAC Account #432-371-586-975 to TUW Project
#89-40, Phase II Water Treatment Plant Expansion, Account
#432-363-533-6HG to fund this change order.
C/W Glasser MOVED to APPROVE Item 11, SECONDED by C/M Katz.
Mr. Couzzo said this is the first Change Order to the Water
Treatment Plant Expansion and a three page analysis has been
provided on each of the items being recommended. He said these
changes have been recommended by the Department's Utility Service
Coordinator to provide for the types of changes being requested.
Mayor Abramowitz asked who mandated these Change Orders and Mr.
Couzzo said the number one Change Order is a deduct Change Order.
Mr. Couzzo said prior to the contract emergency lighting was
installed but the contract specifications had emergency lighting
in it so the City can currently take advantage of a $2,950 deduct
because the City did some work prior to the execution of the
contract. He said they were not able to determine the exact
specifications of some of the things in there until the contract
was actually executed. He said this was reviewed by Mr. Procopio
and the consulting firm, Hazen and Sawyer, and it was concurred
that this work needs to be done at this time.
V/M Bender asked the reason for the 14 day extension and Mr.
Couzzo said it is due to the additional work that is going to be
required to do the welding of the joints on the eight million
gallon accelator.
Mr. Procopio said it is primarily to handle the items in the
Change Order that are going to take the contractor additional
time.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if this is from the'CIAC Funds and not from
tax money and Mr. Couzzo agreed. Discussion was held regarding the
work to be done.

Ms. Carpenter said the Board of Adjustment granted a variance for
this property on October 14, 1991 since the property was only
78.14 feet from the nearest residential property line. She said at
the time the project was built in 1975, a 100 foot separation
requirement was not in existence. She said the Planning Commission
unanimously recommended this application to Council and Staff
recommends approval.
17. PURLTC HEARING - on
second reading to amend Section 24-81 of the Code concerning
restructuring the membership of the Plan Adjustment
Committee.
Public Hearing was held.
TABLED for further review.
City Attorney Ruf read Temp. Ord. #1578 by title.
C/M Katz MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Ord. #1578, SECONDED by
C/M Schumann.
Ms. Carpenter said this is a self-explanatory item.
Mayor Abramowitz OPENED the Public Hearing.
Joe Schreiber, resident of Kings Point, said he is a member of the
Planning Commission and it appears that the Plan Adjustment
Committee is doing some of the functions that the Planning
Commission had done in the past. He said the Code does not specify
what is a minor or major situation for changes. He suggested that
the Code be amended to itemize exactly what is considered minor
and major.
Melanie Reynolds, resident, expressed her concerns regarding the
Plan Adjustment Committee and its actions. She suggested the
original Ordinance be amended.
C/M Schumann asked if Item 17 is illegal on its face and City
Attorney Ruf said the amendment being proposed is not illegal.
City Attorney Ruf said when the City codifies Ordinances, they are
not brought as they were adopted but are edited. He said in the
adoption of the last Code, Jack Steltzer introduced an Ordinance
in 1988 to include the Fire Marshal, who now sits on the Plan
Adjustment Committee. He said to substitute the person who accepts
the petition from the Chief Building Official to the Planning
Department Head, was made in the Code, even though the Ordinance
which proposed those changes was not passed.
City Attorney Ruf said the suggestion that Council cannot go
forward on this Ordinance is without merit.
C/M Schumann asked if there is a possibility of some illegality of
object and City Attorney Ruf said technically he would defend the
existing Code by the suggestion that it was adopted legislatively
by Council.
City Attorney Ruf said an amendment can be presented that
suggested that the Fire Marshal should be a member and that the

amend Section 14-30 of the Code to provide restrictions
applicable to parking commercial vehicles in commercial
districts and on or adjacent to vacant land.
SYNOPSIS OE__ACTION__
APPROVED on first reading. Public hearing and second reading will
be held on Wednesday, November 13, 1991 at 7:30 p.m. in the
Council Chambers of City Hall.
City Attorney Ruf read Temp. Ord. #1579 by title.
V/M Bender MOVED to APPROVE Temp. Ord. #1579, SECONDED by
C/M Katz.
City Attorney Ruf said this is an Ordinance that was developed
primarily by C/M Katz and Chris Carsky to control the parking of
commercial vehicles with commercial signage on the roadways
adjacent to commercial shopping centers and to restrict the
parking of boats and boat trailers on commercial and vacant
property.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if this applies to any vehicles that are
not parked on Tamarac property at City or County boundaries and
City Attorney Ruf said, no.
Discussion was held regarding the cooperation of North Lauderdale
and Broward County in this request.
C/M Katz said this addresses trucks and other vehicles that are
parked in the City for days or weeks that are not associated with
the owners of the property. He said this eliminates long --term
parking so that BSO has the right to cite and remove such
vehicles. He requested that an Ordinance be drafted to address
non -operational vehicles.
Assistant City Manager McDermott said this is being drafted at
present.
C/W Glasser said she feels that is being too harsh.
C/M Katz said the Code states there is a lapse of time which will
allow for 24 hours. Discussion was held regarding how BSO
determines the length of time a car is parked in the same
location.

C/M Schumann said there was a request to close off Rock Island
Road, one of the entrances into the Woodlands. He said the BSO has
not been able to apprehend these people at this time. He requested
an Expression of Interest to permit City Attorney Ruf to research
this and to see if the State or County has the authority to close
off these streets and Mayor Abramowitz agreed. Further discussion
was held regarding this.
C/M Katz commended City Manager Kelly and Assistant City Manager
McDermott for holding a meeting to formulate a Community
Redevelopment Committee. He said there are a number of vacant
shopping centers in the City which need to be addressed. He said

there are reports of some developers and others who are interested
in participating in this function.
C/W Glasser said she has received many complaints regarding the
fishing off City bridges. She said there have been break-ins, loud
music being played in the early hours of the morning and there are
cities which have created Ordinances to disallow fishing in the
canals. She requested a proposed Ordinance be created to restrict
this.
C/W Glasser said there are several board and committee member
openings which need to be filled. She said many of the applicants
do not know what is expected of them for these boards or
committees. She suggested a job description be created for each
board and committee and Assistant City Manager McDermott agreed.
Mayor Abramowitz said Coral Springs has a ban on fishing because
they have their own water district. He said he had requested that
the South Florida Water Management District allow the City to
restrict fishing; however, they advocate recreational activities.
He said the Law does state that fishing is prohibited on private
property.
Assistant City Manager McDermott said several cities restrict
fishing from bridges and she would investigate this further.
Further discussion was held regarding this.
V/M Bender said there are problems with these fishermen crossing
private property to get to the canal. He said a fishing license is
required of those fishing in the canal, except for bamboo poles.
He said the residents must post a,sign indicating private property
in order for the BSO to enforce trespassing.
Mayor Abramowitz said Senator Bob Graham's office has requested
the use of City Hall to conduct interviews of the applicants for
the Naval Academy and West Point to be held on Friday, November 1,
1991 from 8 a.m, to 6 p.m.
Mayor Abramowitz said he received a letter from James Brady
requesting support from the City for a library on 57 Street and
Commercial Boulevard across from Bermuda Club. He said they have
submitted a letter of support for the library. He said he
requested that Bermuda Club write a letter to the City Manager
regarding this.
Mayor Abramowitz said on Wednesday, November 8, 1991 at the
Lauderhill City Hall, from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., there will be a
