wishes to answer a question that is directed to him.
Melanie Reynolds, resident, expressed concerns that the City Manager
is not working to benefit the citizens.
Bernie Hart, resident, expressed concerns as to whether the garbage

questions be considered under Item 3.
Sharon Machek, representing Tamarac Elementary Advisory, expressed
appreciation and thanks to C/M Abramowitz, V/M Schumann and Mr.
Couzzo for their attendance at the Advisory meetings. She said
Tamarac is the only City that has City representatives on the School

and after school care at the Park and Recreation Department. She

continuing support.
Howard Kusnick, resident and representing All Service, askei if his
presentation could be deferred until Item 3 so that it would be more

Council, said she is the Pr sident of the Special Task Force
regarding the garbage issue. She asked if it would be possible to be
informed of workshop meetings and public hearings. She said they
recognize that change is important and they want to be involved in
the solution.
Mayor Bender directed Mr. Kelly to make sure that Ms. Wright
received the information.
C/M Abramowitz said there have been many workshops, meetings and
discussions on the subject of garbage. He said this issue has been
going on about four months. He said the attorneys for the vendors
have been present at the meetings and he is offended that people
feel that Council is hiding something. He said this is a terribly
important subject and it is possible that the Presidents Council was
not notified but members of the Presidents Council have been present
at every meeting.

3. DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION an single-family garbage
proposals.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION
Discussion was held.
S e Page 10 for further discussion and action.
Mr. Kelly said many residents have complained about the lack of
information they have received on this issue. He said this has been
one of the most competitive bidding projects that the City has ever
had. He said it has been very detailed with a thorough bid packet
for the RFP.
Mr. Kelly said there were eight qualified vendors. He said th
prices, if accepted, will put this City as the lowest paying garbage
service of any community in Broward County. He said the preparation
of the bid packet goes to Assistant City Manager, Dina McDermott. He
said the vendors had to do a lot of work to comply and Council has
to interpret and analyze some of it. He said the monies that the
City is getting and the cost coming out of this is going to benefit
the City of Tamarac tremendously.
Mr. Kelly said in October a memo was sent to Council identifying his
recommendations and indicating that County Waste was the company
being recommended which would have continued the traditional garbage
service in the City. He said in reviewing it with follow-up
information regarding the census information, the Council realized
that the benefit to the greatest majority of the City would be
through the bag program.
Mr. Kelly said Council authorized him to follow-up on the'bag
proposal for the City. He said there were two vendors in the running
for that service, Seacoast and All Service. He read the costs to the
residents of the City if they took one bag per week with Seacoast
would be $4.77 per month and with All Service would be $7.24 per
month.
Mr. Kelly said Seacoast's proposal is $1.10 per bag. He said the
calculation comes to $4.77 because there are more than four weeks in
some months. He said two bags per week is $9.54 for Seacoast and
$14.47 for All Service. He said 3 bags per week is $14.30 for
Seacoast and $21.71 for All Service. He said four bags per week
would be $19.06 for Seacoast and $28.94 for All Service.
Mr. Kelly said Council directed him to check on the two companies
and he met with the companies.
Mr. Kelly said on November 20, 1992 at 3:00 p.m. he met with Dick
Marant from Seacoast, who will speak this morning and the President
of Seacoast, Lou Manzella. He said he was advised that they could
and would do the work. He said he advised them that he would be
doing background checks and reporting to Council. He said Seacoast
volunteered that they are involved in a lawsuit with the City of
Dania and it is a reformation of contract. He said it is not
anything regarding performance standards.
Mr. Kelly said on November 30, 1992, he called the Dania City
Manager regarding Seacoast and Dania was not happy to be in
litigation. He said Seacoast has provided excellent service for 12
years and there has never been any problem with their service.
Mr. Kelly said on December 1, 1992, he call d Dania again and asked
to speak to the City Attorney, Frank Adler. He said he requested to
City Council Regular Meeting
12/9/92/ew
Page 5
be provided with a copy of the lawsuit by Seacoast and Mr. Adler
said he would fax it as soon as possible.
Mr. Kelly said on December 2, 1992, he called Laudedale-by-the-Sea,
which is the other City that Seacoast serves. He said Mr. Green,
Public Works Director, indicated that he was completely satisfied
with the service provided by Seacoast. .
Mr. Kelly said on December 2, 1992, he again called the Dania City
Manager for a meeting with a more indepth review. He said they met
on December 3, 1992 and the position was confirmed that Seacoast wasa
good vendor that had provided his City with very good service for
ten to twelve years. He said he was provided with copies of the
lawsuit between the hauler and the City which was provided to the
City Attorney. He said the lawsuit is not a performance issue and
does not reflect on the quality or level of service.
Mr. Kelly said he met with Mr. Kotter from All Service, who
expressed his concerns. He said Mr. Kotter felt All Service was the
b tter of the two companies and that the City should consider his as
being the most responsive bid. He advised that Seacoast was in
litigation. He said All Service has a representative to speak this
morning.
Mr. Kelly said the conclusion he reached in the initial analysis of
the memo of October 21, 1992 was that of the vendors bidding, only
one vendor has offered the bag program that has the potential to be
less expensive then the lowest cost proposal for traditional
service. He said that vendor is Seacoast. He said Seacoast is a
small company that has been doing business in Broward County for
about twenty years. He said it presently serves Dania and Lauderdale
by -the Sea. He said Seacoast is no longer doing work in the
unincorporated areas of Broward County.
Mr. Kelly said at the meeting on December 7, 1992 with Seacoast,
they said that Seacoast has not tried to actively sell the company
in the last twelve months. He said Mr. Marant volunteered that he
has been with the company for eighteen months and there have been
efforts during that time to sell Seacoast.
Mr. Kelly said Seacoast is not trying to sell out now and if
anything Seacoast is trying to expand.
Mr. Kelly asked how long it will take to be ready to provide service
to this City and the response was that the trucks will be no
problem. They said the timeframe for the bags might be more
difficult because of the holiday season. He said they have 1.5
million bags ordered and it might take four weeks for delivery of
the bags with the appropriate logo and Tamarac designation on it.
Mr. Kelly said Seacoast would provide three routes to the City and
hav four vehicles, one for a back-up.
Mr. Kelly asked if there were any problems with a non
transferability service clause. The answer was no, it is in the
contract.
Mr. Kelly asked if there would be a problem with a no sale without
City Council approval and the response was that there would not be a
problem.
Mr. Kelly said his recommendation is that Seacoast is the apparent
low and responsible bidder. He asked that Staff be directed to enter
into negotiations with Seacoast to bring back a contract for Council
to review and approve.
C/M Abramowitz said he was concerned with the ability of Seacoast
not to sell the contract and not selling the company without the
permission of the City Council. He asked contractually if this would
be in the contract.

Mr. K lly said, y s.
C/M Abramowitz said at a workshop meeting, Council expressed
reservations in certain areas. He asked if the contract would be
complete without City Council approval.
Mr. Kelly said Council would have to approve the contract.
C/M Abramowitz suggested to Council that if there are any other
questions after hearing the speakers that are present, now is the
time for them to be addressed.
Mr. Kelly asked to respond to the questions that Mr. Hart rased. He
said tree trimmings and clippings are also in the contract. He said
they may be tied in bundles separately or put in a bag.
C/M Katz said at a previous meeting, he questioned Ms. Blasi
regarding being able to perform at $1.10 per bag. He said the 30
gallon bag, according to the vendor, weighs approximately 40-pounds
and Ms. Blasi said based on $62.50, which is the tipping fee cost,, a
40 pound bag would cost the vendor $.95 for disposal. He asked Ms.
Blasi if this was correct.
C/M Katz said the other costs would be a 15% franchise fee which
would be in the neighborhood of $ .17. He said $ .17 and $ .95
totals $1.12. He said between mark up and overhead, he could not
work for less than 10%. He said replacement and maintenance would
have to be an additional 10%. He said his concerns are based on cost
given to him by Staff, the actual cost to the vendor is going to' be
in the neighborhood of $1.35. He questioned how the vendor can
perform for $1.10.
Mr. Kelly said he raised that question to Mr. Marant and Mr.
Manzella and the response was that this is a Seacoast problem.
Seacoast is putting up a $250,000.00 perfomance bond and thinks they
can do the work.
C/M Katz said that is not an answer and he would like it expla_ned
how a business can survive losing $ .25 on every bag that _s being
disposed. He asked that Ms. Blasi substantiate his numbers and then
he will pose the question to the vendor when he comes up to speak.
Mayor Bender said the point has been made and the representative for
Seacoast should address the issue.
C/M Schreiber said he would have liked a copy of everyth_ng Mr.
Kelly found out so that Council could digest it and be well _nformed
to make a proper decision. He asked Mr. Kelly if he was wiling to
state his position and reputation on the recommendation of Seacoast.
He said his concern is whether Seacoast is the most responsive
bidder. He said the low cost for the bag does not outweigh the
company being able to perform.
C/M Schreiber said County Waste was excluded because they did not
complete the bid in many areas. He asked if that should also exclude
Seacoast from being the most responsive and lowest bidder.
Mr. Kelly said Seacoast bid totally on the bag system and it is
complete.
C/M Schreiber said Mr. Kelly indicated that if the bid is not
completed then the vendor is excluded. He said he is concerned about
a lawsuit.
Tape 2
Mr. Kelly said this company is willing to put its name on the line
that they can do the work. He said it is a business decision that
Seacoast is making. He said it is also a business decision that this
City will have to make.
City Council Regular Meeting
12/9/92/ew
Page 7
Mr. Kelly said many vendors feel that the City can not lose by going
with Seacoast because if they fail the City has a performance bond
and oth r vendors are willing to jump in and pick up where this
hauler may fall flat. He said the City has a tremendous back-up
available.
C/M Abramowitz said if anyone has factual information that will
allow him to make a better informed decision, he wants to hear it.
V/M Schumann said he recalls that Council instructed the City
Manager to conduct a background investigation on the lowest and next
lowest vendor. He said there seems to be an exhaustive research on
one vendor and not the other. He asked if the same degree of
investigative background check was done on All Service.
Mr. Kelly said he met with All Service and he talked to Broward
County. He said this City deals with All Service with the recycling
program and it is a good, strong firm.
Mr. Kelly said both of the firms are qualified. He said his biggest
concern was with Seacoast because the City had no prior knowledge of
them.
Mr. Kusnick, representing All Service, said All Service is a locally
owned company and has been in business in Broward County for more
than twenty years. He said All Service is currently doing business
in Sunrise, Fort Lauderdale, Broward County and the five cities
recycling contract to which the City of Tamarac is a signatory. He
said All Service has not only been responsible but responsive to all
of the cities and counties that they have had a contract with.
Mr. Kusnick said the City Manager's office was given names to verify
independently and All Service has not lobbied or contacted any of
the names given.
Mr. Kusnick said Kathy Kelly was with Broward County during the
tenure while Seacoast had a contract with the County before they
sold it. He said she is now at the Solid Waste Authority of Palm
Beach County and certainly has no interest in this contract or in
All Service. He said he has not heard a response that indicated that
she has been contacted.
Mr. Kusnick said Lorraine Verano at the office of Integrated Waste
Management of Broward County is familiar with All Services operation
and was given as a reference.
Mr. Kusnick said the City knows that All Service is responsive and
responsible. He said there are certain points of .information that
need to be made apparent to the City Council before an informed
decision can be made. He said in the recommendations and
requirements in the bid, each hauler was supposed to provide a list
with at least three municipal references identifying all other
municipal agencies that the collector presently provides service to
quivalent to the levels of service to the City of Tamarac and list
the type of service provided.
Mr. Kusnick said Seacoast has provided two cities, Lauderdale -by
the -Sea of several hundred units and the City of Dania with
approximately 4,000 to 5,000 units. He said they are not near the
population size of the City of Tamarac or the number of units. He
said the comparison to the references given is not valid. He said
th y do not have the current current capability of doing the'job.
Mitchell Ceasar, representing All Service, said he wants to make it
very clear that there is some sort of problem. He read Section 2.2,
Technical and Financial Requirements, from the bid. It reads that
"All collectors must provide a list of at least three municipal
r ferences including all municipal agencies that the collector
presently provides services to or provides service to equal to the
level of service of the City of Tamarac and list the typ of service
provided."
City Council Regular Meeting
12/9/92/ew
Page 8
Mr. Ceasar asked if the applicant provided three municipalilties as
call d for under Section 2.2 and Mr. Kelly replied, two.
Mr. Ceasar said the first part of Section 2.2 said three must be
provided, therefore, Seacoast is not responsive to the RFP. He said
from their perspective there is possibly a question about
responsiveness in a broad sense.
Mr. Ceasar said the second part says if three are listed, they have
to be what the vendor presently represents or provide service to. He
said this has not been met by Seacoast. He said most significantly
to the residents of Tamarac, Council needs to provide the best and
most appropriate service to the City. He said after the three names
are provided, which has not been done, they have to have an equal
level of service to the City of Tamarac. He said this has not been
complied with.
Mr. Ceasar said the City was asking for three different cities that
w re in the same size or greater than Tamarac and this has rrot been
provided singly or collectively.
Mr. Kusnick said regardless of the service of Seacoast in Dania and
the statements by Mr. Kelly, the Council has to keep in mind that
regardless of how the lawsuit is entitled or perceived, it is a
lawsuit and any defendant in a lawsuit in a public forum would
certainly be ill-advised to say anything negative about a litigant.
Mr. Kusnick read into the record from Case #92-22567(24) Seacoast
Sanitation versus City of Dania. A counter claim filed by the City
of Dania, paragraph 12, prior to the present contract between
plaintiff, counter defendant (Seacoast) and Dania, Seacoast reported
the disposal of approximately 500 tons of solid waste per month in
Seacoasts' various requests for increases in unit charges. In recent
months, Seacoast's reports to Dania show less than 100 tans per
month is now being delivered to Royters. From the foregoing it
appears that Seacoast is violating Section 9 of the contract. In
paragraph 13, City of Dania, Hallendale, Pembroke Pines have
contracted to deliver all their solid waste to Reuter Recycling
facility, with each said City guaranteeing to deliver a certain
tonage.
Mr. Kusnick said if Seacoast continues to deliver the solid waste
collected in the City of Dania to a disposal facility other than
Reuters the result could be a shortage in Dania's guarantee, which
could result in a penalty charge against Dania in the amount of
approximately $200,000.00.
Mr. Kusnick said the information provided about being a contract
reformation is not accurate. He said Seacoast wants to reform the
contract because they low balled the contract and then come back and
asked the City to absorb the costs. He said if the City does not do
it, they sue the City. He asked the City Manager, Council or the
City Attorney to tell how quickly money is received from' a
performance bond. He said the City is going to be at risk and if
that is the basis of this contract the City is buying another
lawsuit.
Mr. Kusnick said the price of the bags is another loss. He said Bob
Hely with BFI stated at one meeting that the total true cost of the
bag is $1.39. He said the City is looking for trouble if they go
with Seacoast. He said they have a history in Dania, they sold their
contract in Broward County and if the people on their list had been
called, the City would have found that the County was pleas-ed when
the contract was sold.
Mr. Kusnick said a responsive bidder needs to be picked. He said All
Service takes care of their customers. H said they provide the best
for the County. He said cheapest is not always best.
Mr. Ceasar asked Mr. Kelly to state for the record the other names

Ms. Blasi said Staff and the Investment Advisory Board recommend this
change to the current investment ordinance to allow investments
consistent with Florida Statute 166.261(1) (a) through (e).
City Council Regular Meeting
12/9/92/ew
Page 10
Ms. Blasi said this broadens the City's scope of investment and
inter st capabilities to include federal agency securitiee. She read
th change in the Ordinance.
Ms. Blasi said the City currently has a $5 million two-year certificate
of deposit maturing next Monday in which the City was receiving 8.25%
interest earnings. She said the Investment Advisory Board, Finance
Department and Staff are recommending to broaden investment
capabilities to increase earnings on these investments.
C/M Katz asked if the principal is returned with the interest each time
there is a payment. He asked if Staff knows what they are going to do
with the principal as it comes in.
Ms. Blasi said it depends on what type of agency. She said some are a
balloon for 5 to 6 years. She said there are different types of terms
to be looked into with different provisions. She said if the Cit goes
into one that has principal paid with the interest, the City wi3T take
that principal and invest accordingly or use it for cash flow depending
on when it becomes due. }
C/M Abramowitz said Fannie Mae and Ginny Mae are based on the twelve
year term. He said statistically interest return is based onl that
particular mortgage being held to full term. He said many times they
get called previously and as a result take caution with thecae two
instruments. He said this is not an instrument to be traded.
Ms. Blasi agreed.
Mayor Bender opened the public hearing.
Melanie Reynolds, resident, said she sent a memo asking why' this
Ordinance was necessary and she would like an answer.
Ms. Blasi said the Charter provides that the City may invest in
anything allowed under Florida Statute. She said the investment
Ordinance takes the allowed investments and restricts it more. She said
under that Statute, a City Ordinance may restrict Florida Statute
allowances for investments. She said the Charter is a more abroad
allowance. She said the City is allowed to do this under the Charter.

pickups, it might not be more than two or three. He said this RFP is
not talking about recycling or condominiums.
Mr. Marant said the City was fortunate in receiving bids from so many
responsive bidders. He said after going through the process, the City
could not have done better than they did. He said the City can feel
secure that Seacoast can provide the best level of service. Be said
they have put their reputation on the line and they have put a
performance bond behind it. He said they signed a contract knowing they
can perform.
C/M Katz said allowing the statement that 40 pounds does not hold true,
there has to be a break down. He said his concern is for the residents
and he does not want to get stuck in something that can be addressed
now.
Mr. Marant said with a five year contract with an option of five more,
the vendor and the City need to know about one another. He said the
character and the trustworthiness of the people being dealt with.
C/M Katz said he would like to see the backup that allowed Seacoast to
come up with $1.10. He said his concern is that if the contract is
awarded on the basis of $1.10 that the company can perform and make a
profit and complete the five years. He said seeing the backup might
change his opinion.
Mr. Marant said Seacoast would provide the information to him through
the City Manager.
Mr. Marant said the lawsuit with the City of Dania is for reformation
of contract. He said basically Royters is a facility that the City is
not dealing with, it is a facility that contracts Hallandale, Pembroke
Pines, Dania and Pompano Beach. He said Royters was contemplating
opening sometime in 1988 and they did not open until 19S-1. Ee said
during that time the City of Dania, prior to the plant opening, decided
to go out to bid. He said Mr. Manzella's contract was coning up for
renewal and the City Manager of Dania said the anticipated tipping fee
was $57.00 a ton. He said the plant was not open yet so there was no
history in terms of what the tip fee was.
Mr. Marant said after the bid with Dania was accepted the plant opened
and the tip fee was $61.70 a ton. He said it created a major problem.
He said the lawsuit has nothing to do with service. He said it is
something that needs to be resolved and could not be done through
arbitration.
C/M Abramowitz said $1.10 is the price based on the tipping fee of
today's market so what is going to happen when the fee is raised.
Mr. Marant said this is in the contract. He said the Resource Recovery
Board develops the prices and the participating cities by Ordinance
have to agree to pay a particular price. He said this is all to be
discussed when the City decides it wants to enter into negotiations
with a vendor.
C/M Katz asked if this was a contingency in the RFP.
Mr. Kelly said in the contract and part of negotiations.
Mr. Kraft said it is in the proposed agreement too.
Mr. Marant said part of this process involves working through the
details of the contract in terms of what the City Manager has to do
next. He said some of the problems could be resolved during that time.
He said if they do not bring back what is needed, nothinc gets done
anyway.
C/M Katz said he would like to see the information anyway.
V/M Schumann asked the City Attorney if Council can waive an
irregularity in the RFP.
City Council Regular Meeting
12/9/92/ew
Page 13
Mr. Kraft said that is what is called for in the bid documents on Page
2, Section 1.3.
V/M Schumann asked if there is a lack of compliance with Section 2.2 to
disqualify this vendor as non -responsive and, if it does, is that a
waivable item.
Mr. Kraft said the problems with Section 2.2 are something that Council
could waive as a technical irregularity.
C/M Katz said so many items have been brought up today that he is not
happy with. He said he would like an answer so that when he makes a
decision it will be what he feels is in the best interest of the City.
* C/M Katz MOVED to TABLE Item 3 until all the information is received,
SECONDED by V/M Schumann.
C/M Abramowitz said every month costs the City double what they should
be paying. He said at every meeting there will be an issue that someone
wants more information on and the City needs to do what they have to
do.
Mr. Kelly said under the strict cost consideration, when Council
directed them to go to two bags it was agreed that there were only two
vendors. He said with two bags per week it would be $9.54 with Seacoast
and $14.47 with All Service. He said the County Waste proposal with two
cans was $11.25, which makes more sense. He said if the City is going
to bags, the best cost savings for the majority of residents is
Seacoast.
C/M Katz said his concerns are that the contract will not be
enforceable and that the contractor cannot deliver for the price.
Mayor Bender said if Council supports Mr. Kelly's recommendation and
waits for Seacoast to come back with the documentation asked of them
several things could be done. He said Mr. Kelly could proceed and
support the documentation that C/M Katz is looking for.
C/M Katz asked if the City is better served looking for a letter of
credit than with a performance bond. He asked what the availability of
payment is on a letter of credit versus a performance bond.
C/M Abramowitz said much better.
C/M Katz said it is not unreasonable that some of the information be
given to him and he is prepared to make a decision. He said he would
like to see $1.10. He said he wants to make sure that no one feels like
they are stuck with a contract for five years like with Southern
Sanitation.
C/M Abramowitz said cheapest is not always best. He said the problem he
has is that many people asked how the City could be interested in $1.68
versus $1.10. He said he still feels that the best deal was not bags.

Mr. Marant asked if a breakdown in terms of cost is all the information
that Council is requesting.
C/M Katz addressed the City Manager and said that he wants a breakdown
of how Seacoast came up with $1.10 as a profitable rate. He said he
wants an answer from the City Attorney and/or the Finance Director on
which direction the City is better off with, a letter of credit or a
performance bond and if there is no conflict with the RFP and the
question that was posed on Section 2.2. He said these are the questions
that he would like answers to.

C/M Katz said he is prepared on information that says $1.10. Be said

Mayer Bender told Mr. Kelly for the record to document this in the form
of questions, furnish Council with a copy of the letter asking Seacoast
to please comply and get the answers back to Council to move forward.
Mr. Marant said it would be expedited. He said .if the City gives

C/M Schreiber MOVED to APPROVE Item 4, SECONDED by C/M Katz.
Ms. Blasi said the list price of the 1993 Jeep was what Parks and
Recreation had budgeted and Council approved in the 1992 Budget. She
said the price was $14,400.00. She said the State Contract base price
for the 1992 Jeep is $12,409.00. She said Plaza Jeep, under the State
Contract, will give a 1993 model for the same price of the 1992 State
Contract.
Ms. Blasi said to verify that this is the best price, other dealers
were called and their prices were higher.
C/M Schreiber asked if the 1992 Jeep had all the same features that the
1993 Jeep has or what the package was that raises the price from
$12,409.00 to $13,846.42.
Ms. Blasi said the 1992 Jeep does not have the same features and these
are options that would have to be added.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION
APPROVED
C/M Schreiber MOVED to APPROVE Item 5, SECONDED by C/M Abramowitz.
Ms. Blasi said formerly the City had a contract with Uniforms for
Industry, who was bought out by Centrust. She said Centrust has been
very difficult in providing the service under the contract and has
basically told the City that they do not want to be the uniform vendor.
Ms. Blasi said the City of Sunrise has gone out to bid for uniforms and
awarded the contract to Warren Uniform Company. She said several other
cities have also gone with Warren, including Hollywood, Sunrise, Davie,
Margate, Hallendale and Pembroke Pines. She said Warren has provided
$3.70 for poly/cotton blend uniforms and will provide on a limited
basis a 100% cotton uniform for those who request for $4.70 per week.
Ms. Blasi said Tamarac currently has 108 employees who require uniforms
to be provided and laundered. She said the cost for these are budgeted
individually in the different departments.
C/M Schreiber said five sets could be delivered once or twice a week.
He said one uniform is used per day. He said it cost more money for one
delivery but the total number of uniforms delivered is the same per
w ek.

they will not replace worn out uniforms, they fail to provide new
uniforms for new employees and they.are continually missing uniforms

C/M Katz said it can be cheaper delivering twice a week because they do
not need ten uniforms per person. He said the inventory cost is less.

C/M Schreiber said in the contract there seems to be two of paragraph
3 and asked if it was an error.
Mr. Kraft said it looks like they were misnumbered on page 2. He said
it is not a material problem.
Mayor Bender said the number has to be changed and the other numbers
need to be re -numbered.
C/M Schreiber asked about indemnification.
Ms. McDermott, Assistant City Manager, said on June 24, 1992, Council
authorized the City Administrator to apply for grant funding to the
State of Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. She
said the grant is for street tree inventory on all publicly owned
lands. She said this is a matching grant and the money will provide for
the street tree inventory.
Ms. McDermott said this contract will be contracted out to a
professional organization that can provide the analysis. She said this
will include a tree canopy analysis, review the City's Landscaping Code
and street tree inventory to determine the composition, health and
number of trees in a tree planning program.
Ms. McDermott said this project will help the City of Tamarac promote
the need for proper future placement of individual trees within the
City, identify the hazardous trees that must be removed or moved and
help the City establish a program through.following a corporated intern
master plan. She said this document and project will help the planning
staff plan future street trees within the City of Tamarac on all public
lands which include parks. She said they received a grant in the full
funding amount.
C/M Schreiber asked if the City had its own nursery.
Ms. McDermott said, yes. She said this grant is not to purchase trees.
She said it is to do the paperwork. She said the project is required

Ms. McDermott said the City received a grant letter of award and a
standarized State contract and the City Attorney was concerned
regarding indemnification. She said the State wanted Tamarac to do more
than was required under State Statute and the City Attorney objected to
that. She said she called and faxed the City's objections to
Tallahassee and is waiting to hear from the State Attorney.
Mr. Kraft suggested that Council pass the Item subject to minor
revisions as are subsequently approved by the City Attorney and
reviewed by the City Manager.
Mayor Bender said the Motion was made and is subject to what the City
Attorney indicated.

C/M Katz asked about the $1.40 with the alternative amount of $.95 with

is nothing to be recovered anyway. He said the recyclables do not have
enough of a market and the price is not allowing for distribution to
the City. He said the City will be paying $1.40 with no recovery when
they could have introduced no recovery at $.95.
C/M Abramowitz said he agreed with the $.95, however, Broward County,
the law and 51% of the population agrees Citywide that this is the
deal. He said they have shown statistically where in Palm Beach County
once they have established the MRF it is income producing.

Alan Gabriel said construction will begin in the beginning part of the
year. He said they have been held up with the bond transaction and they
have been working on it. He said they will be coming back to Council
with the bond transaction and further developments.
C/M Abramowitz said the City has bent over backwards in past years to
help the developer with this project. He said the immediate community
has also been very receptive to the program.
Mr. Gabriel said they have asked for a development extension approval
on a regular basis and they are interested in constructing this
project. He said money is being spent on a daily basis to have the
project built and it is just a matter of time. He said they anticipate
that this is the year that it will happen.
V/M Schumann asked if the 501 (c)(3) status been obtained.
Mr. Gabriel said they have applied for it and it is subject to IRS
approval. He said this is what is holding them up.
C/M Schreiber said this project goes back to 1987. He said the
applicant's problem is getting financing. He said the length of the
extensions concern him.
Mr. Gabriel said the original approval granted one year for the first
phase and four years for Phase II and the extensions are a continuation
of that.
C/M Schreiber asked if four years was needed for Phase II.
Mr. Gabriel said they prefer to continue in that fashion just so they
can get into the ground and then if it can be built earlier they will
not have to come back and ask for another extension on Phase II. He
said the number of years does not start until they break ground.
C/M Abramowitz said they will not put up Phase II unless Phase I is
successful.
Mayor Bender said he is interested in getting something moving there.
V/M Schumann said one of the big factors is the 505(c)(3). He said it

REPORTS
C/M Katz said there were workshops and meetings regarding multifamily
garbage and at each session he asked that Council direct the City
Manager to include in his negotiations a retroactive 15% franchise fee.
He said the only thing he heard was laughter.
C/M Katz read into the record a letter dated December 4, 1992 to Dennis
Urbanski, Southern Sanitation. He said he and Mr. Urbanski met
yesterday and he told Mr. Urbanski he has a moral obligation to the
City and Mr. Urbanski agreed to meet with the City Manager and make
that part of the negotiation process. He said he is pleased that Mr.
Kelly and Mr. Urbanski have agreed that the 15% franchise fee will be
paid to the City since the expiration of the agreement until the new
agreement is in place. He said this represents about $50,000.00
additional revenue to the City.
C/M Schreiber - no report.
C/M Abramowitz said Mike Couzzo and he, as liaison to the School Board,
attended a meeting with parents at the school. He said the suggestion
has been made that Tamarac Elementary was one of the schools that was
targeted to go on a double session. He said they are suggesting that
the children have 4.5 hours of education in the school rather than 6
hours.
C/M Abramowitz said the City provides latch key service and after
school programs. He said the problem is that 120 to 130 children are in
the program and what happens when the parents say 610 children are
going to be out of school by 12:55 p.m. and no one is home. He asked
what the City is going to do with these children. He said he ie going
to ask that a presentation be made to Council because everyone needs
to understand what the potential is when the time is right.

Mr. Kelly said the two canal personnel that were approved by Council

Mr. Kelly said the FEMA people have called regarding the last request
for payment. He said they are still processing that and they want
contracts because Southern Sanitation was one of the invoices. He said
the City has not paid the Southern Sanitation invoice for the extra
cleanup that they did. He said the City hoped, to get paid by FEMA
first. He said the Inspector Generals representatives were here trying
to intimidate the Finance Department regarding the work that had been
done previously.
Mr. Kelly said the proclamation he requested for the young lady for the
Orange Bowl could not be here today but will be available at the next
meeting.
Mr. Kelly said crossing guards will be another school issue.

Mr. Kelly said bulk pickup by Southern Sanitation will begin next week,
December 14, 15 and 16. He said they would have liked bulk pickup after
the holidays but Southern Sanitation is already committed to that time.
Mr. Kelly said the MRF issue approved today was approved by Coconut
Creek last night.
Mr. Kelly said the December 23, 1992 Council meeting is a daytime
meeting. He said City Hall will be closed December 24 and 25, 1992.
Mr. Kelly said he would be touching base with Seacoast this afternoon
to get the information that was requested.
C/M Abramowitz asked what is happening with the tree stumps and Mr.
Kelly said they will be removed.
Mayor Bender asked when the removal of stumps would be complete. He
said in some of the areas the stumps are a hazard.
Mr. Kelly said he has a meeting Friday night at Mainlands I and II and
Section 12 on Monday night. He said people are very confused about the
bags and the billing.
Mayor Bender suggested putting an article in the Tam -A -Gram explaining
the bag system.
C/M Abramowitz said the cities that have bags say that the first two
months is a horror because it is an educational process.
C/M Katz asked Mr. Kelly to expand on the negotiations he had yesterday
with Mr. Urbanski.
Mr. Kelly said as a result of the meeting between Mr. Urbanski and C/M
Katz, Southern Sanitation is amenable to including the retroactive
franchise fees to the City.
C/M Abramowitz asked if this was so if they do not get the contract
with the City and Mr. Kelly said part of the response is that Southern
Sanitation expects the contract to be awarded to them. He said these
were the entire negotiations.
