Mayor Abramowitz called for the Pledge of Allegiance. PRESENT Mayor Norman Abramowitz Vice Mayor Dr. H. Larry Bender Councilwoman Diane Glasser Councilman Henry Schumann Councilman Irving Katz ALSO PREP: John P. Kelly, City Manager Alan F. Ruf, City Attorney Dina McDermott, Assistant City Manager Mary Blasi, Finance Director Karen Jackson, Secretary 1• on the ambulance contract. APPROVED effective January 31, 1992, that no further subsidy payments will be made to Medics Ambulance Service. City Manager Kelly said Council had requested some information from the Federal Government and the County Attorney assuring the Council of their actions regarding the continuance of ambulance service to the residents and to eliminate the subsidy. City Manager Kelly said the Finance Department has been reviewing the Medics Ambulance records. He said it may be Mr. Cohen's intention that it may be in violation of Medicare and Medicaid anti -kickback statutes to reimburse the City of some of its subsidy, based on his revenue collected. He referred to a letter to Mary Blasi, Finance Director dated January 21, 1992. (See Attachment 1) City Manager Kelly said the State's Attorney did not provide a formal legal opinion that Mr. Cohen could continue to bill, but he could not insist on a prepayment as a condition for transporting anyone in the ambulance on an emergency call. Mayor Abramowitz said the City has no control over who services the City of Tamarac which is determined by Broward County. He said it would not be in Mr. Cohen's best interest to detract the services from the residents. C/M Katz requested that the City be assured that the City is in compliance with the law. City Manager Kelly said Mr. Cohen's concern is that the contract was awarded to a municipality based on the municipality being reimbursed. He said Tamarac did not solicit Mr. Cohen to provide his service to the City, but was assigned by the County. He said the City tried to go by way of subsidy in an attempt to provide an additional benefit to the residents. Discussion was held regarding the letter. (See Attachment 1) City Council Special Minutes 01/28/92/KJ Page 2 Mayor Abramowitz said he does not want anyone who is in need of emergency ambulance service to be harassed at the time of transport for payment. City Manager Kelly read a letter to Assistant City Manager McDermott from the Assistant County Attorney dated January 13, 1992. (See Attachment 2) Mayor Abramowitz said that Mr. Cohen has indicated to the City that he will sue the individuals for what is owed to him. C/M Schumann stated that a Medicare claim needs to be filed by the individual prior to Mr. Cohen proceeding with form filing; however, the law states that once Mr. Cohen gets paid, he is responsible for the filing of the papers. C/W Glasser asked how the information will get to the residents regarding them not prepaying for emergency ambulance service and Mayor Abramowitz said there is the Tam -A -Gram, Channel 19 and through the various organizations that do work in concert with the City. C/W Glasser suggested that the Fire Department and BSO hand out a notification to someone with the patient stating that they not pay prior to transporting. Further discussion was held regarding this. Discussion was held regarding the procedures of filing claims with Medicare and other insurances for ambulance service. C/W Glasser asked about the review regarding monies that were returned to the City and if the City has been refunded the money and Mayor Abramowitz said the City has not been refunded which is what this is about. Ms. Blasi said the City is looking to receive between 40 thousand and 45 thousand dollars, based on the audit and Mr. Cohen has admitted that this money is due to the City. C/W Glasser asked why Mr. Cohen and the City were not concerned about the anti -kickback law at the time of the contract and Assistant City Manager McDermott said it is a new law, which did not exist at the time of the contract. C/M Schumann MOVED to DISCONTINUE the monthly payments of the subsidy to Medics Ambulance Service effective January 31, 1992, SECONDED by V/M Bender. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE 3. Discussion and moss' action on report by City Manager regarding Jeffrey Berkowitz and the old Public Works site. FINAL ACTION Discussion was held and direction was given to City Manager Kelly to meet with Mr. Berkowitz and proceed with negotiations. City Manager Kelly said Mr. Berkowitz had an option on Parcel 2 of the property where the old Public Works Site existed which he has opted not to exercise. He said the City retained the $85,000 and inherited an obligation to pay the taxes to Broward County, the payment of which the Council authorized, and the balance of the monies would remain with the City. City Manager Kelly further explained the history of the situation between Mr. Berkowitz and the City as well as the obligation of the City to pay the taxes. 17 11 J City Council Special Minutes 01/28/92/KJ Page 3 City Manager Kelly said Mr. Berkowitz has requested that a meeting be held with him on Thursday, January 30, 1992, and requested that Council give direction on this matter. Mayor Abramowitz asked if the City has any recourse with Chevron in this matter and City Attorney Ruf said the City has no recourse with the party who purchased this parcel from Mr. Berkowitz. Mayor Abramowitz asked if the City can recapture legal costs when the City goes to litigation with Mr. Berkowitz and City Attorney Ruf said the City is entitled to legal costs if successful. C/M Katz said Mr. Berkowitz has given the City a tough time every month when the City's $18,000 was due to him and agreed with beginning legal action. City Attorney Ruf said this money is in escrow and has been in an interest bearing account for the past three years. He said there has been some suggestion from Mr. Berkowitz that there is a legal basis for making this claim. He said he has requested information from Mr. Berkowitz' attorney as to what this basis is, which has not yet been received. Further discussion was held regarding this. Mayor Abramowitz asked Council to show an expression as to City Manager Kelly entering into negotiations with Mr. Berkowitz regarding this. C/M Schumann said he does not want any compromise with Mr. Berkowitz and all agreed. EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: ALL AGREED 2. 1iscussion„ and VQgsihle acj;jon on pending ordinances. FINAL Ali Discussion was held and instruction was given to the City Attorney and City Manager to proceed with amending the language for the following pending ordinances: • Temp. Ord. #1579 • Temp. Ord. #1581 • Ordinances regarding the following: • Pension Plan -cost of living adjustments for participants receiving a normal retirement benefit; • Restrictions for parking due to fishing in various areas of the City; • Parking of non -operational vehicles; • Bid documents for construction contracts; and • Board of Adjustment to hear parking waivers. Council reviewed the list of ordinances for discussion. (See Attachment 31 City Attorney Ruf said Council tabled this Ordinance during the October 23, 1991 meeting based on discussion as to whether or not restrictions should be made on the parking of recreational vehicles and other such vehicles in commercial zoned districts. Mayor Abramowitz requested clarification as to what commercial district is and City Attorney Ruf said a vacant lot, shopping center lot and other such areas. Discussion was held as to various parking situations. City Council Special Minutes 01/28/92/KJ Page 4 TAPE 2 C/M Katz said this proposed ordinance was developed due to situations occurring such as trucks dropping their rigs for unloading and leaving them sit for a week or more at that particular location. He said this had been discussed with several key Staff members and the concensus was that as this proposed ordinance was written, this was the intent. Mayor Abramowitz asked where the carnival is supposed to park their trucks when the carnival comes to the City and C/M Katz said Council would need to make a provision for this. Discussion was held regarding the parking of vehicles in unauthorized locations. Mayor Abramowitz said he feels that those parking illegally should be cited. He suggested that this ordinance needs to be clarified and specifics need to be created., C/M Katz said the duration and time limit for parking needs to be established. V/M Bender said he feels there has been work done regarding this throughout the United States and Community Development probably has this information and it should be investigated thoroughly. City Attorney Ruf said this is the Pension Plan change that will allow for a COLA increase of 2% paid out of profits. He said the City is waiting for the Actuarial letter to be delivered regarding this. He said at present, the corrected Actuarial letter has not been delivered to his office. Assistant City Manager McDermott said as soon as the letter is received and reviewed by the City Attorney's office, it will be agendized for consideration and Mayor Abramowitz agreed. City Attorney Ruf said this is an item that comes up regarding trespassing and other such violations due to people fishing. He said the various homeowner's association and condo associations have requested that the City tighten up the fishing controls. He said he contacted the various State agencies which set forth all of the people who have jurisdiction over the fishing in the City and County. He said fishing is being encouraged, not discouraged by some groups, and is not sure whether the City can legally control fishing off bridges on State and County highways. Mayor Abramowitz said the City of Coral Springs has their own canal management and does not fall under the jurisdiction of the South Florida Water Management District and they banned fishing from their canals. He said the South Florida Water Management District encourages fishing. Mayor Abramowitz said the problem is not necessarily the fishing, but the parking on the right-of-way. He said the City has a law against parking on the right-of-way. Discussion was held regarding the parking on right-of-way regulations. City Attorney Ruf read from the City Code, Section 14-4, which does not allow for parking on median strips. He said Section 14-26 states that there shall be no vehicular parking in the paved portions of the dedicated public right-of-way areas within the limits of the City between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., except City Council Special Minutes 01/28/92/KJ Page 5 those vehicles commonly designated as emergency vehicles, and applies 7 days per week. C/M Katz said at this time, it is permissible to park on a grass right-of-way, but not a paved right-of-way. City Attorney Ruf said the Council can specify and restrict the areas as to where parking is not permissible. Discussion was held regarding the parking areas for fishing. C/W Glasser suggested that "No Parking" signs be placed throughout the City to be a deterrent. Discussion was held regarding the installation of various types of signage restricting the parking. Assistant City Manager McDermott read the ordinance from Coral Springs regarding this and suggested that the City list the various locations where parking will not be permitted. C/W Glasser said the concern is not with the fishing as much as who is fishing, especially strangers. City Attorney Ruf said language will be drafted for Council consideration. Mayor Abramowitz RECESSED this meeting at 12:30 p.m. and RECONVENED the meeting at 1:25 p.m. PRESENT: - Mayor Norman Abramowitz Vice Mayor Dr. H. Larry Bender Councilwoman Diane Glasser Councilman Henry Schumann Councilman Irving Katz ALSO PRESENT: John P. Kelly, City Manager Chris Carsky, City Attorney Dina McDermott, Assistant City Manager Ellen Wood, Secretary City Attorney Carsky said the City's current Code is constitutional in this matter and is the best that the City can do in this situation. She said the language requiring that two or more circumstances make a vehicle non -operational exists in every Code in the County at present. She gave specific examples for this. Mayor Abramowitz asked what type of action the City can take on violators of this ordinance and City Attorney Carsky said in certain situations, under the State Statutes, the vehicle can be towed once a notification sticker is placed on the vehicle. City Attorney Carsky said going before the Code Enforcement Board produces a fine, and not necessarily compliance. She said the City can take the violators to County Court and issue a Notice to Appear where the Judge is able to take more action if the fine is not paid. City Attorney Carsky said non -operational vehicles are a Code Enforcement problem everywhere based on the due process considerations. Discussion was held regarding these violations. City Attorney Carsky said this is a constant problem throughout the County and very few cities tow, unless there is an emergency situation involved. City Council Special Minutes 01/28/92/KJ Page 5 City Attorney Carsky said she feels that the issue is whether the Council wants to incorporate the State Statute into the Code, which is not necessary. She said the City does have a constitutional ordinance on the books with respect to towing. TAPE 3 City Attorney Carsky said the City's current Code section states that the enforcement of this division shall be by the Code Enforcement Officer and Code Enforcement Board of the City. C/M Katz suggested that the City should follow the State Statute which would allow the BSO to post the sticker and in four days, tow the vehicle in violation. Assistant City Manager McDermott suggested that the State Statute be researched regarding this and Mayor Abramowitz disagreed. C/M Schumann said the State Statute allows for towing after a four day notification has been in place. Mayor Abramowitz requested that the language for this ordinance be prepared for Council consideration for the next Regular Council meeting and City Attorney Carsky agreed. Tom. Ord. #1581 Mayor Abramowitz said cars for sale were parked at the corner of University Drive and Southgate Boulevard. Discussion was held regarding the various locations in the City with cars parked for private sales. Mayor Abramowitz said the City needs to create an ordinance prohibiting the parking of cars for sale on streets. Assistant City Manager McDermott said this was approved on first reading. Mayor Abramowitz asked why the City is dealing through Code Enforcement when the City has the ability to take someone to County Court for violations and City Attorney'Carsky said the County Court cannot do anything except impose a fine, issue a capus if it is a jailable offense, which parking violations are not. City Attorney Carsky said the City can prepare a Motion to show cause why they should not be held in contempt for failure to appear for arraignment. She said this is an expensive and long process. She said Code Enforcement does not have to allow 30 days to comply. She said they can give as many days as they prefer, which is decided by the Code Enforcement Office and the Council. Discussion was held regarding this. City Attorney Carsky said the Code Enforcement Board hears property maintenance. She said parking does not go before the Code Enforcement Board, but is handled by the BSO. She said she receives authorized vehicles and handicaps, through the BSO, from Tamarac. Mayor Abramowitz asked what can be done to stop the City from being a dumping ground for private used car sales. City Attorney Carsky said the enforcement provision for this ordinance should indicate these cars to be towed. She said this is a task that is much more difficult than it looks on paper. CONCENSUS OF OPINION; ALL AGREED City Council Special Minutes 01/28/92/KJ Page 7 City Attorney Carsky suggested this item be skipped at the present time. Mayor Abramowitz said there are many instances where the Code requires that there be a hardship be proven by the applicant in order to receive a waiver. He requested that the hardship provision be reviewed. City Manager Kelly said the meeting scheduled to discuss the single family curbside recycling program with the other cities has been postponed until Monday, February 3, 1992. He explained the reasons for the delay. C/W Glasser requested that the small difficulties be solved and commence with the program. C/M Katz asked the deadline for this procedure and City Manager Kelly said the deadline is February 12, 1992. Mayor Abramowitz RECESSED at 2:05 p.m. and RECONVENED the meeting at 2:10 p.m. with the following present: PRE SZE : Mayor Norman Abramowitz Vice Mayor Dr. H.

FINAL__ A„r.ZION APPROVED the City Manager to negotiate with Mitchell Kraft. Mayor Abramowitz requested that Council express their feelings regarding the most recent City Attorney applicants. C/M Schumann nominated Mitchell Kraft for the position. V/M Bender nominated Mitchell Kraft and Jeffrey Olson. He said money has not been discussed, which is one of the reasons for interviewing for the City Attorney position. He said he would like to evaluate the dollar value of a new attorney versus what the City currently has. C/M Katz nominated Mitchell Kraft pending reference checks by the City Manager's office. C/W Glasser nominated Mitchell Kraft, who has a good resume and has the expertise that the City is seeking. Mayor Abramowitz said Mitchell Kraft has the qualifications, but nominated both Mr. Olson and Mr. Kraft. Discussion was held regarding the presentations made by both candidates. City Manager Kelly said the financial aspect should not be discussed amongst Council as part of the consideration of the best City Council Special Minutes 01/28/92/KJ Page 8 person for the job. He explained the Competitive Selection process. Discussion was held regarding this. C/M Katz suggested that Council give City Manager Kelly permission to negotiate with one of these candidates.

If it is determined that the City requires a legal opinion, I would recommend that you request same from the City's legal counsel. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 23.4 (i)(1), Broward County Administrative Code, pertaining to ambulance rules and regulations, no emergency medical technician or paramedic shall fail or refuse to promptly attend or transport any sick or injured person after responding to a call, to the nearest appropriate medical facility. it is the County's position that this provision applies regardless of a patient's ability to pay at the time of transport and, in essence, would prohibit a medical technician or paramedic from requiring a patient to pay a pre -payment as a prerequisite to being transported to a hospital on an emergency call. My review of the applicable rules and regulations does not reveal any prohibition against an emergency medical transportation provider charging an additional fee or surcharge to a resident for transportation if the patient requests a hospital other than the closest appropriate one; however, as noted above, it would be r BROWARD COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS — An Equal Oppotiun" Employer Scot) I.
