1. 12111QQSSION AND PQRATAT& ACTION regarding a remedial plan for
the Public Works site located at the northeast corner of
Commercial Boulevard and NW 88 Avenue (Pine Island Road).
SYNQPSIS OF ACTION
Discussion was held and action regarding this will be taken at a Special
Council meeting next week.
City Manager Kelly referred to the status report of the completed
work on the Public Works site. He said the City is attempting to
resolve the settlement with Mr. Berkowitz as soon as possible to
enable him to move ahead with Chevron. He said he may meet with
Mr. Berkowitz in the next week or so to discuss the final
resolution of his concerns on this matter. He said Chevron is
extremely anxious to close on this project and has no concerns
about the details the City is going through. He said Chevron does
this type of procedure on a normal basis.
City Manager Kelly said the City is encouraged with the current
reports. He said the purpose of this is to inform Council of the
status of this project. He read from correspondence addressed to
Assistant City Manager Couzzo dated February 4, 1991. (See
Attachment 1). He said this correspondence has been reviewed by
City Attorney Ruf.
City Manager Kelly said the City needs to decide to move ahead
with this course of action allowing them to do the subcontracting
work which is cost effective for the City. He said there will be
a three month extension of the lease arrangements on the Agenda
for the Wednesday, February 13, 1991 Council meeting for the
continuing operation of the Public Works site. He said the new
Public Works project is ahead of schedule by a couple of months
and the monies are in place. He said the monthly payments to Mr.
Berkowitz have been decreased.
Mayor Abramowitz asked when the City will be finalizing this clean
up project.
City Attorney Ruf said he feels the money legally belongs to the
City at present. He said there is a second phase to the purchase
contract that has not begun.
C/M Schumann asked if the money is in escrow.

City Manager Kelly said the money is being used for the
construction of the new Public Works facility.
City Attorney said the title has been vested with Mr. Berko it .
City Manager Kelly said that Mr. Berkowitz' concern is that th
property is not really cleaned up, which is why he does not wa
to proceed with Chevron. He said Chevron does not care abo t be
clean up. He said Mr. Berkowitz is getting an interest free 1 an

meeting with a representative from there on Tuesday afterno n,i
February 12, 1991, to expedite this. He said this should help
Berkowitz to move ahead on this. f.
Mayor Abramowitz said the City is ready to close.
City Manager Kelly said that Mr. Berkowitz' argument was th t le
heard there had been a major oil spill which contaminated t e
entire site. He said this was being used to avoid closing n
side with Chevron. He said the new report Mr. Berkowitz ha
received indicates that the spillage was contained on the site for
Chevron and EQCB's determination is that the City is addressing
the problem in a satisfactory manner and will be cleaned up, w1i h
undercut all of Mr. Berkowitz' arguments. He said the site sho d
be cleaned up within a reasonable period of time. I i
V/M Hoffman said the City is paying rent on property the City
no longer using. He said the City is only cleaning up this
property.
C/M Schumann asked how long the City has been paying Mr. Be k
for this property and Assistant City Manager Couzzo said
approximately one year or better. Discussion was held rega d
the money paid.
C/M Schumann asked if the majority of the costs implemented
this project are reimbursed by the Federal Government or th
State.
Assistant City Manager Couzzo said it is reimbursed by the led
Government and is monitored by the State. He said approxim to
90% is reimbursable directly attributable to the remedial a ti
which involves the water or soil clean up. He said the Cit3 h
submitted for the reimbursement and will receive it increme to
He said the suggestion from Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., will exred
the project by three months, which will minimize the amount of
time the City will need to continue renting this site from Dr.
Berkowitz and will minimize the engineering costs to put to et
a complete set of plans and specifications that will be req it
to go out to bid.
City Manager Kelly said he will support the recommendation cif
stopping these payments after the clean up is completed.
Mayor Abramowitz said the EQCB no longer exists; however, B
County disbanded this group and City Manager Kelly has cont
with people who are still working for the County to benefit
City with this project.
C/M Rohr asked what the legal ramifications are of the "B"
of the contract.
City Attorney Ruf said he needs to review the terms of the "
option and report on it. He said he has reviewed the contra
he feels that "A" is a done deal. He said he feels that wit
three months, the City will be clear.
Assistant City Manager Couzzo said that Hazen and Sawyer, P.
feel that within 30 and 45 days, the Remedial Action work wi
completed; however, that is less the bidding and all other
specialized work to be done. Discussion was held regarding

time frame of completion.
C/M Bender suggested the City notify Mr. Berkowitz at present that
within three or four months the City will be ready to comply with
the contract.
Assistant City Manager Couzzo said Mr. Berkowitz is copied on all
correspondence that refers to this site.
Mayor Abramowitz said he feels this is a legal matter to be
handled by City Attorney Ruf.
City Manager Kelly referred to Page 3, Last Paragraph, of the
letter from Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. to Mr. Berkowitz, dated January
28, 1991. (See Attachment 2). He said the urgency was to make
Council aware of the progress of this situation and the City will
need to have action.
Assistant City Manager Couzzo said he feels the type of remedial
action that will take place over the 30 to 45 days will be
approximately fifty to sixty thousand dollars.
Mayor Abramowitz said there are some urgent items to be handled
and he requested more information be gathered such as dollar
amounts and a time frame for action for a Special Council meeting
to be held next week and all agreed.
2. DISCUSSION_AND__POSSIBLE ACTION regarding a fleet expenditure.
SYNOpS3 OF ACTION•
Discussion was held regarding the extreme costs of maintaining vehicles
in need of replacement and the consideration of purchasing new vehicles
with excess funds from the Fleet Services Fund. Action on this item was
held for a Special Council meeting next week.
City Manager Kelly said the status of the City's fleet is not
good. He said he has been receiving many purchase requisitions
for repairing engines and other repairs on too many vehicles in
the fleet. He said in reviewing the budget, Mary Blasi, Finance
Director, has determined that there was a Depreciation Fund
Account established throughout all of the departments. He said
that account exceeds $160,000 at present. He said these monies
are prorated between the Utility Fund and the General Fund. He
recommended spreading out this money by 68% and 32% respectively
between the two departments, to purchase some of the vehicles that
are needed to eliminate the necessity of replacing some next year
to cut down on next year's budget due of the significant cost of
rebuilding most of these vehicles.
City Manager Kelly said these monies are strictly for depreciation
of the fleet. He requested the authorization of approximately
$120,000 to research and possibly purchase the vehicles needed.
He said he feels it is a good time to approach the market to
purchase vehicles. He said the dump truck, crew cab and the
carpenters' vehicle all need to be replaced. He said these
vehicles are intensively used.
C/M Rohr requested two or more bids on whatever vehicles may be
purchased.
Assistant City Manager Couzzo said he feels the City may be able
to get better prices than the State contract.
Mayor Abramowitz suggested purchasing vehicles that can be used
for cross purposes and City Manager Kelly said this is already
being done within the City.
C/M Rohr suggested reviewing the vehicles being used in the City
and eliminating the vehicles that are not needed. He said there
is less building and inspections being done.
Assistant City Manager Couzzo said the two largest departments in

stayed the same or possibly increased.
City Manager Kelly said there will be a reduction in the sta f'n
of the Building Department; however, the number of building
permits that are being issued over the past year have not re u e
He said the valuation of the permits has reduced dramatically.
C/M Schumann asked what the City will do with the old vehicl s
after the purchasing is completed.
Assistant City Manager Couzzo said he feels these vehicles s o 1
be traded in, if possible. He said past experience with
auctioning has not been very positive. He said there are no o
many people interested in a vehicle that is 15 years old wita 13
thousand males on it. He said most of these vehicles are no n
good enough condition to be turned down to another departmen .
said he will look into late model used vehicles for a value :her
He said this should be good for construction vehicles, such as t
dump truck.
C/M Rohr said he feels the City would do better with a straih
deal on the new vehicle and auction the old ones.
Assistant City Manager Couzzo said the City is a good buyer Diu

Mayor Abramowitz said the Chairman of the Consumer Affairs
has been very active and has heard good comments about this
of board members. He said the problem is that they do not
enough people to staff this Board on a full-time basis.
V/M Hoffman said the Consumer Board needs people present on
daily basis to interview the consumers who have problems. H
the Board requested that Council increase the membership and
feels this is a good idea.
City Manager Kelly said he would ordinarily disagree with th
enlargement of a Board; however, he has had many people come t
his office for the Consumer Affairs Board and they are not pre
due to lack of people to staff the office on a full-time basis
He said he agrees to this.
Melanie Reynolds, resident, expressed her concern regarding h
hour notice of this meeting. She said under the Home Rule B'l ,
Council cannot change anything that is in the Charter, espec'a ]
about appointed committees, without going to Referendum.
City Attorney Ruf said he would review the Charter for
specifications.
V/M Hoffman said he does not feel the Charter has anything t a

C/M Rohr said when Council attempts to do something to enhance the
working of a Board of the City, Ms. Reynolds objects on
technicalities.

made by V/M Hoffman is very good. He requested that City Attorney

Mayor Abramowitz said Council will need to hold a couple of
meetings next week to discuss the Multi --Purpose Center. He said
it was opened today and discussion needs to be held on the
interest by various organizations in wanting to use the facility
for their functions. He said most of the condo associations do
not allow national organizations to meet in the condominium
facilities.
Mayor Abramowitz said there has been a feeling of the City that in
the new facility outside groups could be allowed to use the
facilities with a minimal charge, but not as a meeting place. He
said Council needs to review a plan and the City has facts and
figures to present to Council for discussion,
Mayor Abramowitz requested that Council give some thought to what
rates to charge for the public and organizations to use the
Recreation Center for a meeting place. He said the room can be
used whole or split in half to be used by two separate groups
simultaneously. He said the front portion has a kitchen and the
back portion does not. He said the Parks and Recreation
Department has a list of the requests from the various
organizations,
Mayor Abramowitz said this is not a money -making proposition. He
said this is a service to the City. He said there must be a
minimal charge due to the fact that all groups and organizations
will want to use the entire room. He said if the whole room costs
one amount, the front portion with the kitchen costs a separate
amount from the back portion, this will help to prevent the
organizations from all wanting to use the whole room or the

portion with the kitchen due to cost savings.
Mayor Abramowitz said this could become a burden if there is
differential in the cost of these rooms. He said he is open
suggestions on this.
David Krantz, resident, said he has been involved in various
organizations. He said the Temple has approximately 15 diffe
organizations who use their facility and the Temple charges
for their meeting facility at present. He said some of then(
organizations find it too high. He said the Italian American
charges $75 for their facility. He said the City will have r
organizations wanting to use the Recreation Center for cost
savings if a nominal fee is charged by the City. He asked wi
the capacity is in the Recreation Center for the three rooms
Mayor Abramowitz said the half rooms have a seating capacity
and the full room can hold a couple hundred people. He said
everyone is going to want the full room with the kitchen
facilities unless there are various charges.
V/M Hoffman said he feels Council should direct these effort!
towards the smaller groups.

Mayor Abramowitz said this will be a wonderful service to t
residents of the City.
C/M Schumann asked if the Multi -Purpose Center would be used
meetings. Mayor Abramowitz said the response to meetings in
Multi -Purpose Center has been no.
V/M Hoffman asked what the small rooms in the Multi -Purpose (
will be used for. Mayor Abramowitz said the small rooms wil:
used for Arts and Crafts. He said there will be a ceramics i
a Martial Arts room and other such facilities.

Mayor Abramowitz said Council needs to consider who would be gi
the new building and who would be given the old building. He s
this should be done to make everybody equitable. He said
scheduling is another aspect that needs to be handled.
City Manager Kelly said there will be Arts and Crafts which it
dominate that room; however, some of the other rooms will no b
fully utilized at all times and, if there is an opportunity or
people to use it, he would like to accommodate the groups ne di
the rooms.
Mayor Abramowitz said the City has applied for a grant for
$350,000 to build another building between the Recreation Ceilt
and the Multi -Purpose Center for general purposes and $250,0 0
the current Recreation Center.
City Manager Kelly said he is not overly optimistic about
receiving these grants this year.
City Manager Kelly said he received the response from Portla
Oregon on the confiscation proposals in the Portland seizure
programs. He said copies will be made and distributed to Co
and the City Attorney. He said they appointed a Citizens
Committee in the beginning to evaluate the use of vehicle
forfeitures as a means of removing vehicles from Portland st
that were used for prostitution or by persons driving illega
with a history of drunk driving. He said the Citizens Commi
evaluated the use of vehicle forfeitures for six months and
determined it to be a successful and cost effective program.

City of Tamarac Project No. 90-16
UndemroundT Remedlation Program
Dear Mr. Couzzo: .
The next phase of work on this fast track project Is the irnpiamentation of the Remedial Action
Plan. In order to move ahead with the project in a timely fashion, we suggest that Missimer &
Associates, Inc. subcontract directly with Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. to undertake the remedial
action field work. Our engineering agreement would be amended to Include the supervision and
administrative oontrol of this work.
The City of Fort Lauderdale has undsertslcen this approach -on their Coral Ridge Pump Station.
When the station failed, we were hired on an emergency basis to assist the City Engineering staff
to place the facility back on One. The City could not afford the delay of bidding for Instrumentation
contractors. Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. retained an instrumentation contractor to perform the field
work under our control.
The Remedial Action Plan proposed for the Tamarac site is unique. To seek competitive bids will
add at least three months to the project. The additional work would consist of preparing detailed
plans and specifications, advertising for contractors, evaluating bids, permitting and finally award.
4n our opinion, the City would not reoeive any cost savings. The majority of the cost to be
Incurred to implement the Remedial Action Plan are reimbursable under the Early Detection
Inoentfva program.

Protection (formerly Broward County Environmental Quality Control Board) on

The next- step:
Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. will contact the Office of Natural Resource Protection in an attempt to
expedite the review of the Remedial Action Plan. At a maAnxrm, we expect a four to six -week
review period will be required by the Office of Natural Resource Protection staff.
The Remedial Action Plan targets a novel approach to remediation. Typical remediation
techniques take a year to three years in order to remediate, a site. The concept outlined within
the R.A.P. is to dewater the immediate area, treat the contaminated groundwater via a carbon
adsorption system and then discharge the treated water immediately upgradient and adjacent to
the site in it stormwater retention'area. This activity will be performed in 24-hour increments with
a recovery period of six to seven days between each 24-hour dewatering event. The recovery
period allows the shallow water bearing strata to recover from the dewatering operation.
The contaminated groundwater removed during the dewatedi ng operation will be
M"I9d along
with the treated effluent. This will show'the operator to check the efficiency of the treatment
system and make adjustments as they are necessary,
