BOARDS AND COMMITTEE.
5. Board of ocial Servi es - Discussion and possible action
regarding mileage reimbursement to members (tabled from
1/10/86)
SYNOPSIS QF ACTION: APPROVED
continuation of payment of mileage
reimbursement as in the past at
$.20 per mile from the person's
house to City Hall and back home again.
Acting City Manager Perretti said he submitted a report to Council
concerning a survey that was taken throughout the County to
determine what other cities of comparable size and larger do
pertaining to Social Services for their residents. He said it was
determined that many of the cities do not have a Social Service
Department and, when someone from that particular City would call
for assistance, they would be referred to the Broward County
Social Service Department. He said recently the newspapers stated
that the Broward County Social Service Department was going to be
disbanded.
Mr. Perretti said the few cities that do have Social Service
Departments, have large budgets compared to the $1,200.00 that
Tamarac has allowed for Social Services. He recommended Council
approval for the mileage allowance for the Social Service Depart-
ment.
V/M Massaro said she agrees that this
continue, however, if the County does
Service Department, Tamarac may have
services. She said according to the
concerning Social Service Departments
keep records of trips and there is a
mileage allowance should
discontinue the Social
to have a nominal charge for
report that was given
in other cities, the drivers
$1.00 per person charge made.
V/M Massaro MOVED that for the present, the City should continue
the payment of mileage reimbursement as has been done in the past
of $.20 per mile from a person's home to City Hall and home again.
SECONDED by C/M Gottesman.
Mr. Henning said in the past, when a driver used his own car from
his home, he was always paid and the issue today is whether or not
what has been called in the past "commuter mileage to City Hall"
would be paid from the home to City Hall to pick up the van.
Helen Sobel, Chairperson of Social Services, said in the past they
have always been paid even when they came to City Hall. She said
this is just a running payment that they are deserving of.
C/M Stein asked why this is before Council and Mr. Ferretti said
he brought this up because he understood that no one was to get
paid from their home to work and, when this came t-o his attention
for payment, he stopped the payment because it was not being done
for any other department or committee.

this is also an item for which points and credits are given from
the University of Florida, which also count towards regular

model sales permit but the waiver should be TABLED to determine if
it is appropriate.
C/M Stein said he agrees that the waivers should not be granted

developer, as he sold,,had a form prepared and approved that told
the people that a model sales facility was being used and request-
ing their agreement to its existence at the time of purchase of
their homes...He said subsequent to.that-this procedure was
discontinued and he has not reinstated it. He said if that would
answer the problem, he would reinstate it.
C/M Stein asked Mr. Jahn if the model sales facility could be
opened without the waiver and Mr. Jahn said no.

Charlie Jacobson, representative of Kings Point, said they have a
signage program which was developed in an attempt to coordinate
all on -site and off -site signage. He said they have received
complaints from Kings Point residents concerning problems with
friends and relatives finding Kings Point and, once they do find
Kings Point, they cannot find a specific neighborhood or apart-
ment.
Mr. Jacobson said when Kings Point is completed, they will have 13
neighborhoods with 5,000 apartments. He said presently, they have
2 neighborhoods and there is a problem now. He said they have
provided Council with the basic concept for off --site signs,
individual neighborhood signs, individual signs in front of
individual buildings, and sales office signs. He said in addition
to the color and shape, each neighborhood would have a heraldic
symbol. He said they have traffic coming from all directions and
there are not enough identifiable ways to find Kings Point.
V/M Massaro said something will have to be submitted to Council
showing the areas in which signs are needed or wanted.
Mr. Jacobson said they would only want to put these signs in areas
where the traffic can be directed appropriately. He said once
Council has agreed with them, they would negotiate this further.
Florence Bochenek, Chairperson of the Beautification Committee,
said they felt this was a beautiful plan that would add to the
City and she requested this be put on the Council agenda for
Council to see what the product is. She said there is no problem
because the Beautification Committee would control this and the
only problem is that the Ordinance states that only a specific
number of directional signs can be used. She said they are
actually only replacing many of the signs that are currently
there.
V/M Massaro said they should give a sketch to Council for their
review showing where they want off -site signs. Mr. Jacobson said
they will get back to Council on this.

21. peegfieldZSaNgrass Expgesswgv-- Temp. Reso. 13971 - Discussion
and possible action to authorize execution of a quit -claim
deed conveying certain rights -of -way in addition to a 1.45
acre parcel of Cypress Creek Commons to The Broward County
Expressway Authority.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. R-86725 PASSED.
APPROVED.
Mr. Henning read Temp. Reso. #3971 by title.
Mr. Henning distributed location maps to Council and noted that
the Expressway Authority has all of their various parcels number-
ed. He said there is a small piece of Cypress Commons, 137.1,
which is the most significant because that is City -owned property
and is not right-of-way. He said it is located at the far north-
western extreme of the City and, from a legal sense, this needs
most of Council's attention. He said the 139.1, is a piece of
existing right-of-way, which is Perimeter Road. He said 144.1 is
a piece of right-of-way from McNab Road.
Mr. Henning said in an earlier Resolution the City indicated that
it was in favor of the Sawgrass Expressway plan and now, with
these quit -claim deeds, the City is relinquishing any rights to
use that for City roads in the instance of the two rights -of -way.
He -said as far as the 137.1 is concerned, the City is deeding over
the City property for the purposes of the Sawgrass Expressway,
V/M Massaro asked if the City Engineering Department has been
involved -in -this and Mr. Henning said he is sure they have been.
He said in Resolution 84-265, passed on 9/12/84, which endorsed
the Sawgrass Expressway, the_use of certain rights -of -way in the
City of Tamarac, and authorizing the conveyence of 1.45 acres of
Cypress Commons, Section 3 stated, "That the:City authorized the
City staff to prepare the necessary documents to deed the 1.45
acres of Cypress Commons, described in Exhibit B, under the
following conditions..."

Gerald Thompson, Broward County Commissioner, said if these are
not executed then the northern part of the road is abandoned. He
said when Resolution 84-265 was approved, it did not carry the
authority to convey and they are hopeful this can be done today.
C/M Stein said part of the agreement was that in the first phase
the County would widen Commercial Boulevard to accommodate the
traffic from the Sawgrass Expressway. He said another condition
was that the County would do the landscaping in the Cypress Creek
Commons area. Commissioner Thompson agreed with those conditions
as having been the exchange for granting these quit -claim deeds.
Mr. Henning said Temp. Reso. #3971 is authorization to sign these
deeds and he felt it would be wise to confirm these conditions
with the County officials at this time. Commissioner
Thompson agreed.
Florence Bochenek, Chairperson of the Beautification Committee,
said she read that the City of Parkland was given beautification
for noise abatement because their homes were approximately 600-
feet from the Sawgrass. She said Tamarac has a situation with
homes 300-feet from the Sawgrass and she suggested additional
trees should be planted in that area to decrease some of the noise
and pollution. She said Commissioner Thompson has assured her he
will give this his attention.
V/M Massaro said she had the City Manager provide Council with
plans to determine if there were any areas that might have pro-
blems as a result of this Expressway. She said she asked the City
Planner to study the effect this will have on Tamarac. She said
she would like a few days for the City Manager and City Planner to
study this further. She said she would like to know if the parcel
the City will be deeding to the Sawgrass Expressway will split the
land and Commissioner Thompson said no.
Commissioner Thompson said they have not built a road in recent
years that has not contained a full landscaping plan. He said the
Sawgrass is a little unique because it is a revenue producing
facility and the funds are limited. He said they sold 200 million
dollars in bonds and they feel they have adequate reserve to make
it the best looking highway in Florida; however, until they
complete the construction, there will be a limited landscaping
budget.
V/M Massaro asked if Commercial Boulevard will have all of the
drainage, curbing, sidewalks and landscaping that the rest of
Commerical Boulevard now has and Commissioner Thompson said yes.
She asked what will happen with the utility line and Mr. Henning
said he would assume that the existing right-of-way for Commercial
Boulevard can accommodate six lanes. He said if that is the case,
he would imagine that the City's utility easement for sewer and
water pipes would not be in existing right-of-way and there would
not be a relocation of existing sewer pipes.
John Gerren, Broward County Engineer, said the engineers on this
project are Williams, Hatfield & Stoner and this property on the
north side has Keith & Schnars working with Leadership. He said
if there has been a utility problem, in two years they have not
mentioned it.
C/M Gottesman said he would like to see the latest drawings and
V/M Massaro said they are in the City Planner's office.

on -premises consumption of alcoholic beverages at this
restaurant in the Sunflower Shopping Plaza, 8104 N. University
.Drive, which is zoned B-1 (Neighborhood Business) (Public
hearing held 1/2/86) (tabled from 1/10/86)
SYNOPSIS OF ACTIO : RESOLUTION NO. R-86-31 PASSED.
APPROVED as conditioned.
Mr. Henning read T so 3947 by title.
Thelma Brown, City Planner, said this was tabled for failure to
submit the proper floor plans to describe the total square footage
required for the consumption on -premises for the.State require-
ments. She said the restaurant square footage is 4,744 square
feet and the State requirement is 4,000 square feet, the customer
capacity proposed is 202 and the State requires 200; therefore,
they have met the requirement of the alcohol consumption license.
She said they have not received any complaints for this proposed
use and they do have the landlord's permission for the on -premises
consumption and the additional square footage.
V/M Massaro said she has been reluctant to allow a liquor license
there because of the close proximity to a family area but
Mr. Rosenfeld has indicated in his letter that if they were
granted the liquor license, the hours of operation would be
3:06.P.M, to 11:00 P.M. daily and 3;00 P.M. to midnight on Friday
and Saturdays. She said this seems more acceptable since there is
more control.
V/M Massaro MOVED APPROVAL of. T so #5247 for a limited
license subject to these hours. Mr. Henning said this would be a

C/M Gottesman noted that Sundays are not mentioned and
Mr. Rosenfeld said Sunday would be included with the weekday
nights. V/M Massaro asked what hours Mr.Rosenfeld is open now and
he answered from 3:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M., 7 days a week.
Mayor Kravitz said when this was first discussed, Council ques-
tioned whether this would be facing the street with a private
entrance and Mr. Rosenfeld said he submitted the present and
proposed floor plans and the entrance would be facing University
Drive. Mr. Rosenfeld said he is operating a restaurant and not a
bar and the liquor would upgrade the restaurant operation.
Mayor Kravitz noted that the bar could be open even though the
restaurant is closed because there is a separate entrance and
Mr. Rosenfeld said the reason for the separate entrance is when
the store used to be an insurance office with their own entrance
and they use that as an exit for the dining room.
C/M Stein said he feels there will not be much of a bar business
with closing hours of 11:00 P.M. He said as long as this is a
restricted license with the stipulated times, there should be no
problem.
V/M Massaro said Mr. Rosenfeld should be cautioned that action
would be taken if this restaurant did become a bar establishment
and Mr. Rosenfeld said he does not intend for that to happen.
He said the S.R.S. license that he would apply for states that 51%
of the business must be done with food.
Mr. Henning said for clarification, the hours of serving liquor or
beer and wine would be from 3:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. on Sunday
through Thursday and 3:00 P.M. to midnight on Friday and Saturday.
He said the special exception would be non --transferable without
Council approval and this is to be used in conjunction with the
operation of the restaurant.

access along 79 Ave. to the shopping center and, second, to have
signage limiting traffic by directing all truck traffic south when
coming out of the shopping center -
Mr. Henning said two main concerns are congestion by the Post
Office and general.traffic through 79 Ave. up to 61 St. He said
the signage and limitations -on truck traffic could be placed there
but might be somewhat difficult to police. He said this could be
done.with the cooperation of the shopping center to have their
deliveries come in 79 Ave. and leave southbound.
Mr. Henning said Mr. Brady, Attorney for Midway Plaza, has indi-
cated he would cooperate with the City for signs and that would
not require a change in the site plan. He said there is another
alternative of making 79 Ave. "One Way" northbound, which has some
merits but has not been worked out as yet. He said if 79 Ave. was
one way, the southbound traffic going to the movie theater and
half of the southbound traffic from the shopping center could be
eliminated. He said this would cause a diversion of the traffic
north to 61 St. and then east where there is a traffic light at
University Dr.
Mr. Henning said it should be noted that the main entrance to this
shopping center is on University Dr, and payments have,already
been made towards a traffic light on University Dr. so that access
could be as easy as possible from University Dr.
Bob Jahn, Chief Building Official, said he has a valid application
for a permit for Publix with all, the requirements fulfilled except
for the payment which must be made for the engineering. He said
he has not issued the permit as yet but he asked Council for
direction concerning th-is..
C/M Stein said if the City made 79 Ave. a one way street, this
would have nothing to do with the site plan. He said he would
favor one way traffic because signs, unless enforced, do not mean
anything.
V/M Massaro said she is interested to.know whether the residents
are concerned about their being able to use 79 Ave. two ways. She
suggested it could be limited .to.no truck traffic.
Mayor Kravitz said this item needs more discussion between the
City Attorney and Mr. Brady with another public hearing, if
necessary.
Marvin Sobel, resident, said the idea of a one-way street either
north or south is not right because if the traffic only went
either way, the trucks leaving that area would have to go through
Edgewater Village. He said one of the two entrances planned on 79
Ave. should be removed from the plan with.only one entrance down
by the Post Office. He said a "Left Turn Only" sign should be
installed for all the vehicles leaving that area. He said, as a
retired Professional Engineer, he would volunteer to be part of
any staff meetings concerning this item.
C/M Stein asked if there Was a particular representative
from..Edgewater Village and Sol Wish, resident, said.both he and
Mr. Sobel are on.the Board. He said they were told at the pre-
vious Council meeting that representatives from Edgewater Village
would.be able to meet with the Planning Commission for their
input.

Mr. Wish said they never received a phone call from them and they
insist on meeting with them between now and the next Council
meeting. V/M Massaro explained that the Planning Commission is
not involved in this now since it is being considered by Council.
C/M Stein said the Mayor has suggested the City Engineer and the
staff meet on this and he requested a representative from Edge-
water Village should attend as well. Mr. Wish said he would
suggest that two representatives from Edgewater Village attend and
Mayor Kravitz said that would be no problem.
V/M Massaro asked Mr. Brady if the owner of this property is in
town and Mr. Brady said no, Mr. Goldberg is in Hawaii and is
expected back on 1/27/86. V/M Massaro said not much will be
accomplished at a meeting on this without the owner being present.
She said Mr. Goldberg was the City Attorney of Tamarac in 1971 and
he is a reasonable person.
Mr. Brady requested the record reflect that the Chief Building
Official should issue the foundation permit to Publix.
V/M Massaro said the City should cooperate with Mr. Goldberg since
this approval would have no bearing on the exits to the streets.
Mr. Henning said the record should be clear that Council is taking
no action to impede the issuance of that permit. Mayor Kravitz
said he will call a Special Council meeting with two representa-
tives from Edgewater Village.
V/M Massaro MOVED to TABLE this item for a Special Meeting to be
called by Mayor Kravitz. She said she, together with the
Engineering Department, the builder, and two representatives from
Edgewater Village shall study this. SECONDED by C/M Gottesman.

Mr. Henning said there was a letter sent this morning in which
they agreed to the rescission of the waiver of platting. He
suggested:approval.
The following is a partial Verbatim Transcript on,this item as
requested by V/M Massaro:..
V/M Massaro: I have a question about this letter. I do not have
any problem with the refund, it is just doing it properly so that
we do not have any problem because they do have a valid approved
site plan and so forth. In the second paragraph, Jon, I -do not
quite like that, "However, in relation to the agreement relating to
the issuance of permits for site development work, water,
sewer...", why do they tie that in with the $15,000.00?, I do not
understand what that is in there for.
Mr. Henning: "Automatically terminates and authorized...", that
part?
V/M Massaro: No. This -right in the -second paragraph up in here.
Begin with, "However,...
11
hign Kan: That was the.name of the -agreement. That was.the title
of the agreement...
favor Kravitz: You will have to be recognized before because it
will not be on the tape. If you have any questions, I will be glad
to call on you.
Alan --Kan: I'm sorry.
Mayor --Kravitz: Identify yourself and state whatever you like.
y/M Massaro. Does this complicate anything? I do not think that
belongs in there.
Mr. Henning: Let me explain it.
Mayor Kravitz: Do you want him to answer or do you want to?
M nn'n : Well, let me ... Mr. Kan, correct me if I am wrong. The
agreement was prepared and, perhaps, there was a misunderstanding
on my part, whether the permit would be issuel7. We understood that
the permit can be issued when the plat is recorded. The agreement
said when the plat is "approved" by the County as opposed to
"recorded". It's semantics, there is a difference. It is
clarified in the Resolution I prepared in.Section 4, "That no
development permits -are -to be issued until the plat for Tract No.
24 has been recorded in the public records of Broward County, which
is pursuant to the Tamarac City Code."
V/M Massaro: That's right. That's not what I am talking about,
Jon.
Mr, Henning: Well, then maybe I do not understand the question.
V/M Massaro: It,says here...
n Kan: Mr. Mayor, may I answer the question?
M vitz• Sure.

1/22/s6
/pm
Alan Kan: My name is Alan Kan. I am the Attorney for the developer
of Tract 24. The question I believe the Vice Mayor is asking deals
with the second sentence in Paragraph 2 beginning with the word,
"However". The language says, "In relation to the agreement
relating to the issuance of permits for site development work and
i.
for water, sewer and drainage systems, we are requesting the recur
of $15,000.00. The title of the agreement, that is exactly what it
is referring to.
The agreement was between the City and Tract 24 and the title was
relating to the issuance of permits for site development work and
for water,.sewer and drainage systems. So, all I am saying is, in
relation to that agreement... and that happens to be the title of
the agreement, it has nothing to do with anything other than we are
saying we want to void that agreement or that agreement has been
terminated by its action, return our $15,000.00.
VLM Massaro: I would ask that Pat put that explanation of
Mr. Kan verbatim into the record and that will clear this up.
And, I would MOVE that the $15,000.00 be returned. I do not see
where it affects us in any way. The plat has been approved, we all
understand that they cannot pull a permit until the plat is record-
ed; and, therefore, I MOVE that the $15,000.00 be returned to them.
That is all they are asking for and the rest is REMOVED.
(End of partial Verbatim Transcript)

Thelma Brown, City Planner, said the zoning on this property is B-6
and the location is the,east side of University Dr., north of the
existing Underwriters Building. She said the type of use is for a
3`=story office building on 2.02 acres. She said the following are
staff comments from the site plan review meeting:
1. The architect is to revise the drawing date.
2. The architect is to provide fire flow calculations.
3. The water supply shall be installed prior to the issuance of
any building permit, as.per Code.
4. The plan shall comply with Chapter 38 of the South Florida
Building Code and the National Fire Protection Association
#14.
5. Shall comply with Chapter 26 of the Life Safety Code, 1981
Edition.
6. The addresses or suite numbers shall be placed on the rear
doors of all occupancies on the first floor.
7. To remove the jug -handled median from the adjacent property in
order to more easily move the vehicular traffic,.which will
cause less traffic congestion to this center.
8. All of the items must be listed on the plan.
V/M Massaro said they have a 6-inch water main in front of their
property on University Dr. and an 8-inch main is required. She
said the City Engineering Department has stated that they must get
approval from Council to allow this undersized pipe. She said they
should have an 8-inch main,if that is a requirement.
Michael Shiff, Attorney representing the applicant, said the City
had a 6-inch line on the entire east side.of University Dr. and they
have agreed with the Deputy City Engineer that they will install an
8-inch line the extent of,their property while under construction.
He said when the City is.able to.acquire a larger service from
across the street, they will already have their 8-inch main
installed and they will tie into it.
Ms. Brown said there were problems getting the traffic to flow
easily into this center and.the architect has agreed to contact the
owner of the adjacent property in order to get the jughandled
median removed to better circulate the traffic. She said in
addition, the landscaping existing there would have to be re-
addressed.
Mr. Henning said there was.a document in proper form but the plan
is for the trash service to use the dumpster in the adjacent
building. He said there is a dumpster in the parking lot next door
in Program Underwriters Building No. 1 and this building would be
using their dumpster for service. He said the appropriate ease-
ments and agreements have been prepared. V/M Massaro asked if that
was a regular dumpster or one for the toxic materials and Bob Jahn,
Chief Building Official,.sai.d it is the regular dumpster enclosure
in a regular rubbish bin.

V/M Massaro asked what would happen if there was a separation of
these buildings and Mr. Henning said there is a 99-year easement
which says they can use this dumpster. V/M Massaro said the Deputy
City Engineer said each person that develops property on University
Dr. must install an 8-inch water main in front of their property
and that should be a condition here.
V/M Massaro asked Mr. Shiff if the sealed fire flow calculations
have been submitted to the Fire Department and Mr. Shiff said yes.
V/M Massaro said they wanted a fire hydrant at the rear of the
building and Mr. Shiff said they are installing 2 fire hydrants at
the request of the Fire Department. V/M Massaro said the water
supply pipes must be installed prior to any building permit being
issued.

/pm
Mr. Nolan said the charge was to ascertain what the probable costs
would be to rejoin the County system as opposed to the deep well
and effluent disposal system that is under design. He said in
order to evaluate these two methods, they had to develop
assumptions and on Page 22 of the report that was delivered
yesterday lists those assumptions.
Mr. Nolan said the 201 Plan that was originally prepared by
Montgomery Consultants a number of years ago addressed an inter-
connect force main and pump station being built in the western
areas of Tamarac. He said a pump station was to be built at the
sewage treatment plant site and the force main was to extend up
University Dr. to Southgate Blvd. and intersect with an existing
54-inch line on Sample Rd. He said that was going to be the
method by which the County would complete its connections and
Tamarac would be adequately satisfied with service.
Mr. Nolan said the subsequent 201 Study reflected some changes in
thought which evolved around the conjecture that the University
Dr. corridor would be congested and cause difficulties concerning
pipe installation. He said they were looking to extend the line
to the south and University Dr. south of here was not an adequate
alignment. He said Pine Island Rd. was then selected and the
currently approved 201 routing scheme would be University Dr. to
Southgate Blvd., Southgate Blvd. in the easement areas easterly to
Riverside Dr. and then Riverside Dr. to Sample Rd.
Mr. Nolan said they also assumed the work would be done in the
immediate future and, therefore, grant funding was probably not in
question because the City would be acting more quickly than the
grant funding process would permit and grant funding is not
allowed as payment for construction that has already taken place.
He said they also assumed that, in either event, whether the City
uses deep well or some other form of effluent disposal, the
Broward County Environmental Quality Control Board is going to
provide the City with a permit to operate.
Mr. Nolan said since Tamarac had already sold the reserve capacity
at Broward County's North District plant, some other mechanism had
to be devised whereby plant capacity would be obtained. He said
after research it became apparent that buying it back was out of
the question so they assumed the best way would be to rent capa-
city.
Mr. Nolan said the next planning cycle for County Utilities
wastewater treatment plant at Copans Rd. proposes the construction
phase will be completed in 1991. He said that mean a rented
capacity between now and 1991. He said from an evaluation stand-
point it would be advisable for the City to assume that the square
one costs for the pump station force main network that is in place
would have to be paid for that portion of capacity that would be
funnelled through their system.
Mr. Nolan said they also assumed that the City would provide the
funding, construct the new pump station and the new force main and
at such time that it is completed, the City would deed it over .to
the County for operation and maintenance. He said in this report
they tried to develop a succession of costs associated with either
alternative and none are new costs. He said they have been
generated in a number of reports that have been published as it
relates to the 201 and wastewater treatment in the County as a
whole.

Mr. Nolan said they reviewed the costs in two different areas: the
D.E.R. - E.P.A. form (that
is, a 20-year present worth
analysis)
on Pages 13 and 14 of this
report. He said the bottom
line of
that cost analysis is that
it would cost approximately
$800,000
,more .to go to the regional
under design. He said that
system than to complete the project
is about 3% over the 20-year period of
time.
Mr. Nolan said the next analysis concerns the 7-year cost which is
to get the City to the next plant expansion at the County Utili-
ties. He said the first set of costs are summarized on Table 1 on
Page 4 that speaks toward capitalization requirements in 1986 at
6.6 million dollars and another 4.45 in 1987. He said on Table 3,
Page 6, the alternative speaks towards capitalization of 3.3 in
1986 and 4.5 in 1987.
For further explanation, Mr. Nolan said they took the 7-year costs
including operation and maintenance and spread them towards costs
per 1,000 gallons. He said the first 6 years with this system
completed, it will be about $1.25 per 1,000 gallons vs. going to
the -County at $1.11 per 1,000 gallons. He said in the 20-year
present worth shows that in the long run it is about equal.
He said they listed on Page 2 some.of the perceived benefits to
either one of the two systems.
The following is a partial Verbatim Transcript as requested by
C/M Stein;
Mr. Nolan: Essentially, I think the bottom line of the report is
that it is six of one and a half dozen of the other from a cost
standpoint as to which direction you are going. I would like to
answer any questions you may have on the report.
Mayor Kravitz: Council?
C/M Gottesman: Mr. Mayor.
C/M Mun,itz: Under your assumptions on Page 22, Tony, the third one
you put there, that "The City would be able to procure an
effluent limitation variance from the E.Q.C.B. until the regional
transmission.facilities are completed." Are you guaranteeing that
this variance will -be received?
M,r. Molan: I am not guaranteeing anything. I am making a
conjecture, it's just an assumption.
Mr. Henning: Well, we have one now.
Mrs _Nolan: You have one now and there is reason to believe that
you will be able to continue to treat sewage...There is very
little alternative for you at this point.
C M Munitz: And the item next to the last, I believe that's a
typographical error. I believe that should be CIAC should it not?
Mr. Nolan: No, sir. This is a special account.that is placed into
the funding process through the Environmental Protection Agency
and D..E.R. It is a new account and it is not very clear at this
point what it is. Our assumption is that it is not going to have
to be used or raised out of users fees, you will be able to raise
it out of CIAC charges. And, therefore, it is not reflected in
the rate basis. That's a major point. And, it is not going to
have to be capitalized, that's the other major point.

C M Munitz: Thank you very much.
Mr. Nolan: The reason that that was, if I can carry that thought a
bit further, we are looking at funding on one project and not
funding on the other project. And, we did not want to improperly
impact the funded project to capitalize that expense.
Mayor Kravitz: C/M Gottesman.
C/M Gottesman: In your estimation...
Audignce: Cannot hear you. Microphone, please.
C/M Gottesman: I am sorry. In your viewpoint, when can we get in
line on the 201 relative to time as opposed to the things we are
doing to our present system.
Mx -.-Nolan: The time frame is very close to the'same time frame. I
think you may be looking at three to six months longer if you have
to start from scratch right now and go in the direction of Broward
County. You have got some agreements that have to be firmed up
well in advance ... not well in advance ... but at least in advance of
your starting to spend money. You have got an agreement with the
County ... a philosophical agreement with the County.. that will
allow you to go. And, we have every reason to believe, through
our conversations with the County that that is a reality. You
also have to secure agreements that are satisfactory to you that
will allow you to use someone else's capacity between now and the
time the County puts this other element to the plant on line.
C/M-Gottesman: There is a differential then of some time limit..
Mx- Nolan: I think we are talking in terms of between two years
and two years and six months. Something in that window.
C/M Otein: Mr. Mayor.
May9t_Kravitz: All right. Go ahead, Councilman.
C/M Stein: Tony, I spoke with you this morning and I have to bring
this up. In the cost evaluation which you have here, there is an
item under ... on Page 4, which is "Land Section 7, $942,000".
That's if we stay where we are and on Page 6, "Land Section 7,
$848,000" and the reason for that is that since, if we go with the
County we do not have a deep well, which is approximately four
acres, it is $848,000.
I asked you the question, why is Land Section 7 here in the first
place. Either way, we do not need the land in Land Section 7.
The land in Land Section 7 was primarily purchased for a holding
pond in the spray irrigation, is that right? Primarily. I am
saying two factors but that was a big primary factor.
Mr. Nolan: My recollection is the initiation of the land acquisi-
tion process in Land Section 7 was for the purpose of holding
ponds 'in association with a spray irrigation system. Subsequent
to that, when the deep well project ... when it was converted to a
deep well project, there was a perception at that time ... not a
perception —there were rules and regulations at that time, that
required that you have emergency holding capacity which.would have
necessitated holding ponds also.
C/M Stein: O.K.
26
1/22/86
/pm
Mr. Nolan: That regulatory requirement has been lifted and
that ... your second analysis is...
CZM Stein: Correct, O,K. Because even if the Vice Mayor is
correct, and I do not believe she is correct, that we need 45
acres,for a Public Works building, it should not be here. This is
utilities. If we are going to use Land Section 7 for municipal
purposes other than the utility situation, it should not be here.
Am I correct?
Mx, -Nolan: I can not disagree with that, no.
C/M Stein: All right. That's the point. You have...
Mx-, .olan: The question you started to ask and then began to
answer yourself was why is it here and the reason that it is here
is because it was, one, it is in the bond program that you have
got going now. And, what we did with the second iook.at it was
try and assume that if for some reason you have a need for 41...44
acres out there for ... 41 acres out there ... or 40 acres out there..
for something other than sewage treatment at this point.
We are not trying to address that issue. We are trying to say
that if you do not build a deep well and you do not build a solid
treatment process out there, you do not need 4 of those acres. Do
not charge the system for 4 of those acres anyhow even if you are
going to charge us for the 40.
C/M.5t_ein: What I am asking the question...
. Nolan: I am not trying to make a judgment on it.
-C Stein: Tony, I am asking you a very simple question. Say the
City has need for it. They do not want to sell it. They want to
keep the 45 acres. We are talking about a utility situation, all
right? Tamarac Utilities West is a separate entity and the bond
issue is separate from the City.
Mr. Nolan: Correct.
C/M Otein: Therefore, to load almost a million dollars, which we
cannot use for the sewer system, is not fair. That is what I am
talking.about. If the City wants to have it for a Public Works or
a park or whatever they want, that is O.K. But it cannot be
charged to the utility. It would be illegal to do,that.
YZM Massaro: I do not know what you are talking about.
C[M_Stein: How can you charge a million dollars to a utility when
you are not going to use it?
V/M Massaro: Did you charge a million dollars to the utility?
Mr. Nolan: There are two things that you need to take into
consideration, I think, that we are overlooking. First of all,
our mission was not...
C/M Stein: Wait a minute. Let me do a disclaimer. I am not
criticizing. What you did was put them in both slots. You put
them in the deep well and the.County and...
27
1/22/86
/pm
Mr. Nolan: And, if you all chose to let it drop out, that is your
decision to make. And, it falls out at both sides and the
difference... really, what we were looking for was the difference
between the two.
C M town,: Oh, no, I agree with you.
Mx,-N-olan: And, if it drops out, it just makes both of them lower
but the difference is the same.
C/M Stein: All right. What I am trying to get to is if you drop
out of $3,277,000 and $848,000 you have a little less than 2-1/2
million dollars. O.K.? That's your 1986 expenditure and you have
4-1/2 million dollars probably in 87 so you have a total of 7
million dollars until 1992.
M-rs Nolan: Correct.
C/M Stein: All right. I realize you are an engineer but I want
you here so ... you know, if you leave I cannot go back. You have
nothing to do with financing, I realize that. What I am talking
about is why do we need 15 million dollars floating in bonds until
1992? By 1992 we might very well have 60,000, 70,000 people to
pick the load up and I will worry about floating bonds in 1992.
And not charge the people, as we already have been charging them,
for 15 million dollars of bond indebtedness, which is not true.
Mr. Nolan: Mr. Stein, this does not speak to bond indebtedness.
V/M Massaro: What is he talking about?
C/M Stein: What am I talking about, Helen?
.Y1M Massaro: You are absolutely wrong.
C1M Mein: Is that so? Will you explain how we have $900,000 in
the Utilities West which we cannot use? Will you tell me what you
are going to do with the land?
V/M Massaro: We are not ... we are not bonding that yet and the land
purchase has nothing to do with whether we go 201.
C/M Stein: It sure does. It's the charge right here, Helen, it's
right here. Don't tell me it has nothing ... it's right in here.
It's Page 6 right on the report and it's on the other page. I gave
you both pages. We paid 900 and some odd thousand dollars for
Land Section 7, which you want to charge to Utilities, which,
either way, deep well or the County, we cannot use.
V/M Massaro: You do not have to get excited about it. If it is
not used for utility, it will not be charged to utility. Period.
C/M Gottesman: That's all.
C/M Stein: The point I am making is that this figure should be
correct. There is no way it can be charged to Utilities because
we cannot use it.
V/M massaro: Nobody is charging it.
CfM-t-e: Oh, yes, they are. It is right here in the figures.
Mr, Nolan: May I make a statement, please?
Mayor Krayitz: Yes.
28
1/22/86
/pm
Mr. Nolan: The original purchase of the property was for utility
purposes and I think that is what has caused it to carry on. The
ultimate disposition of the property...
C/M-Stein: Tony, don't get into this.
Mr. Nolan: I'm not.
C/M Stein: My argument is why did we buy it when we knew we were
going deep well because we couldn't use it anyway?
Mr. Nolan: I can't answer that question.
C/M Stein: All right. Q.K. I don't want to ... you're an engineer
not in politics. We bought this after we were turned down on the
spray irrigation. We just bought this darn thing. And, since we
bought it, I do not know why we bought it since we do not need it.
Even -with deep well, we just said, 4 acres, right? Approximately
4 acres, right?
Mr. Nolan: It's about 4 acres.
C/M Stein: O.K. Now we've gone as far as 45 acres. The Vice
Mayor says we need it for public Works. I am not even going to
discuss that now. It has nothing to do with utilities. That's my
point. If you want to buy if for Public Works than the City of
Tamarac buys it, not the Utilities West. The bond issue is
Utilities West, not the City of Tamarac. That's my point here
exactly. And if you are going to compute how much it is going to
cost each citizen of this City to take the load, you've got to
take the million dollars off. That's my point.
V/M Massaro: If the Utility does not use it, the money goes back.
I do not know what you are talking about.
C/M Stein: Helen, we are losing $100,000 a year right now. We
just gave them a million dollars we do not have any interest on
and no taxes. Now you say it will go back. Oh, that's nice,
let's do it. We are choking ... we fight about $39.00 for screening
a truck from the sun and we throw away $100,000 a year plus the
taxes for land that we have no need and we never had any need even
if we went deep well. What the hell are we doing with this land?
I want the engineer to tell me, if you went deep well originally,
could you use 45 acres?
VLM Massaro: Do not worry about the acreage. You will be awfully
glad you've got it.
C/M Stein: Helen, I -want you ... will you tell me what you think you
are going to do with it?
yfa_Massaro: You cannot manufacture land. There.is no more
available.
M 'n: But you cannot use it because you have a sale -back
agreement, which you executed without telling the people it has to
go back to Leadership. We cannot keep it.
V/M Massaro: Of course it would have to go back to Leadership and
what are you shouting about?
29
1/22/86
/pm
C/M Stein: I am angry because you entered into a deal that we hold
the property, we pay the taxes, we are losing the interest and
then, when we cannot use it, we say "Leadership, you can now have
it back". I would like to have that deal, too, you know, Helen.
V/M Massaro: You would like to have that land, too, and so would I
like to have it at that price.
CIM_Stgin: No. I would love to have someone hold land for me while
it is not developed and I do not pay taxes and they give me a
million dollars.
V/M Massaro: Maybe we will ... maybe we will develop. We've had
offers on the land up above here but we cannot move...
C/M Ste -in: Oh, you can sell that but you can't sell that, Helen,
you cannot sell Land Section 7.
V/M-Massaro: I do not know what you are talking about. You are
trying to incense the people. You are not going to do it.
C/M Stein: Helen, I make this statement. You cannot sell Land
Section 7.
YZM_Massaro: Who wants to sell it?
C/M Stein: You are going to give it back to Leadership because you
have no use for it.
V/M Massaro: Who wants to sell it?
C/M Stgin: O.K. great. That's super. I love that.
V/M Massaro: So, if we give it back we are not going to lose
nothing on it...
C/M Stein: How about the interest all this time?
V/M Massaro: Oh, come on, Syd, you are trying to incense people
but you are not going to be successful because anybody...
C/M Stein: Oh, come on, Helen, stop this ... Helen, let me put
another thing on the record as long as Mr. Nolan is here. You
made a statement which is on the minutes and I will produce them
if you want, that you.have been doing this for a couple of months
in the interests of the City. Since I am a great fan of yours, I
have your television tape of October 31st in which you said...
V/M Massaro: A television tape?
C/M Stein: Mr. Silvergleid, do you want to be ignorant? Talk,
I'll let you talk.
David Siiycr.gieid: I merely said you are out of order and you are.
C/M Stein: Oh, now you are running the show. Oh, great.
Mr. Silvergleid: No relevancy to what is going on.
V/M Massaro: That's right. What we want to know is of the 201
program. What are you talking about?
30
1/22/86 r
/pm
C/M Stein: 1 am talking on the 201 program and I am talking upon
William, Hatfield & Stoner's report. And, if you find a million
dollar -error, I think it is important that I bring it up, even if
Mr. Silvergleid does not think: so.
V/M Massaro: Do you have a million dollar error there, Tony?
ClM atejn: Yes, there is.
Membe-r of the Audience: What did,you say, Mr. Stern?
C/M Stein: My name is Stein, not Stern.
Member of -the Aadi-ence: His is Silvergleid. A point well made.
C/M Stein: Oh, is that so? Tony, am I correct? Let's get it for
the record. Either in deep well or with the 201 we have no need
for the 45 acres, is that correct? I am not talking about need
for parrks, I am talking about....
VIM -Massaro: Mayor, the City Attorney is trying to say something,
will you please recognize -himZ
Mayor Kravitz: I would be happy to when the Councilman is
finished.
V/M_Masagro: He won't be finished for three hours.
C/M Stein: All right. Can you answer my question, Mr. Nolan, I
asked him a queston.
Y/M_:Massaro: ...cause he's going around and around.
Mayor Kravitz: I know.
Mr. -Nolan.- From today's regulatory vantage point, that may be a
correct assumption.
CM Stein: Thank you, that's all. O.K. I have nothing else to
say.
Mayor Kravitz: City Attorney.
Mr. Henning: The only comment I have is the discussion may be
relevant effective a couple of years from now. I think Tony may
want.to comment on the sludge farm. We need the.land for the
sludge farm and then when we go either deep well or 201 then this
discussion becomes relevant as to what we can do with the land.
y1M Massaro: That's right. But in the meantime, we need it.
M n: We did not have to buy it, we had it under lease.
Mayor Kravitz: Councilman, you had your chance. Let somebody else
speak.. It's finished.
M -, Henning: We were negotiating a three year lease.
V/M_Massaro: So, deduct the cost of the lease from the interest
that the gentleman is talking about and see what you have got
left,.. He's talking through his hat.

1/22/86
/pm
Mayor Kravitz: All right, are we through, Council? One hand up
there, I'll recognize it. I would like to keep it short. Not
that I' do not want to recognize anybody but, you know, we are a
half hour late already and it's going to ... come on, Doctor. And
then I'll call on Harold and that's it.
Dr. BernardNewman: Bernard Newman.
Mayor Kravitz: Keep it short, please.
Dg. NeWMan: Bernard Newman, resident of Tamarac. On the... refer-
ring to this report. In the Introduction it explains that the
City is to pay for the construction and the lines into the County
plant after which we turn the whole job over to the County. I
cannot see the City paying the construction for the County in
something that goes over to he County because we will still be
charged for sewage treatment after we turn it over. We do not get
sewage treatment for nothing.
It is true that the County will pay for operation and maintenance
but we still have to be paying for sewage treatment. That's Item
No. 1. Item No. 2, what happens if the planned rentals from the
other municipal plants do not take place? Suppose they do not
permit it. It is a supposition that they will permit it. We have
no guarantees.
Thirdly, this morning we heard that Kings Point is going to put in
5,000 units. 5,000 units means another 1.5 million gallons a day.
So, if you refer to Page 8 of this report where the increase per
year is based on a thousand equivalent units per year with he
result of 3.10 of a million gallons eachyear, this throws these
figures out by a tremendous amount and so, the calculations and
the figures that it is going to cost the City of Tamarac are all
wrong. And, from that point of view, the report is absolutely
meaningless.
Mayor Kravitz: All right, the last speaker.
V/M Massaro: No. Let Mr .... let him answer it, because he's wrong.
Mayor Kravitz: I thought we'd have the City Engineer actually
answer, too, but ... go ahead.
Mr. Nolan: Well, the questions were directed ... not questions...
the statements were directed towards the report. I would like to
just take them one at a time as they were presented. The assump-
tions in the report that the pump station and force main will be
built by the County...I mean by the City ... and then ultimately
turned over to the County for operation and maintenance is purely
a pragmatic approach towards the problem. It still needs to be
negotiated with the County. The County is reponsible and has
assumed responsibility for the regional system from an opera-
tional/maintenance standpoint and they have distributed that cost
back to the cities on a pro rata basis based on flow.
The debt service portion of your pro rata flow or not pro rata
flow, in this case it happens to be reserve capacity, is picked up
by each individual user of the system. As we are right now with
2.5 million gallons, we have no reserve capacity. The point that
you pay for the force main and pump station is a fact, that is by
virtue of the Large Users Agreement, it just depends on how you
pay for it. In order to expedite this project, it would be more
prudent for the City to go ahead and assume the responsibility of
the design construction and then turn it over for operation and
maintenance to the County.
32
1/22/86
/pm
Mr._ Nolan: it would not be prudent for the City to maintain the
line, maintain its obligation to perform maintenance on it and,
also, the operation of the pump station. So, although the
question was asked as though this was an oversight, it really has
not been an oversight. It was pretty well thought through and it
is stating it the way it really happens anyhow.
The next question about the rental agreements, as far as.the
capacity is concerned, I think I concluded my comments on the
report and, I think if you look in the conclusion page you will
see the same thing, that nothing should be done,from a cost
standpoint until satisfactory agreements are in your hands ... that
is, satisfactory to you ... for both the capacity to carry you
through to build out period and, also, a joint -use agreement with
the County.
M,r, N�1an: As far as Kings Point is concerned, Kings Point may
have come in and painted pictures of 1500 units to you today...
Audience: 5,000
Mr. Nolan: Or, 5,000 units to you today...
y/M Massaro: But, that's the ultimate buildout.,
Mg. Nglan: The point is that those are units that are contemplated
by your Land Use Plan. Those units have been accounted for in the
flow.projections and I would sincerely doubt that they are going
to buildout in anything other than the normally accepted buildout
rate.in the City. They will plat, they will ultimately buildout
over probably a 15-year period, a ten --year period of time. That
is just the way the development business works. Only so many
units are going to be built at one time or occupied at one time.
So., consequently, the flow figures do anticipate those flows.
V/M Massaro: Yes, they will be lucky to do it in ten years.
C/M Stginn: Mr. Mayor, I just had one question. Helen, on the
1991,, I know that you did it in your notes but I think it's
important to note the County will apply for a grant.
Mr. Nolan: Yes.
C/M Stein: All right. Our figures here are the most conservative
of all figures and they assume no grant.
Mr. Nolan: We have assumed... being the grant environment is what
it is,,we have assumed there will be no financial assistance in
91,_. Right, correct.
C/M Stein: But there is a possibility of our receiving... that's
the point.
Mr. Nolan: Sure.
y/M Massaro: That's right.
CZM_ Stein: O.K.
Mayor Kravitz: Mr. Newman.
33
1/22/86
/pm
Harold H. Newman: Harold H. Newman. I would like to know how come
that this system that we are considering now was not suitable for
us, going back to 1981 and now it is a feasible system. Could
anyone answer that question for me?
VIM Massaro: Mr. Nolan has been involved the entire time and I am
sure he can answer it.
Mr. Nolan: I'm going to get a catchers mitt next time I come out
here. The evaluations that were done back when it was decided to
retain the spray irrigation system of effluent disposal revealed
esentially the same things that they reveal now. That is, that
the cost between going with the County and staying on your own
were essentially the same. And the decisions were made on ... for
reasons other than financial and other than engineering. That's
really the sum and substance of it.
Mr. Nolan: By staying on your own you can control your own growth.
As a matter of fact, the same logic applied then that is stated
at the bottom of Page 2. And really, what it amounts to is the
flexibility of administering growth management, it allows you to
have control over capital improvements, it allows you to have
control over operating costs. Those were the reasons that were
used when the decision was made to go with spray irrigation. When
spray irrigation was precluded by regulatory edict in Broward
County, it was judged that effluent disposal by deep well was
approximately the same cost. Therefore, that was the best
alternative for the City at the time.
At this point in time, I presume that a rethinking of whether or
not absolute control over everything was in the best interests of
Tamarac initiated this report and we are back to square one.
Harold H. Newman: One other point, Mr. Mayor. Thank you,
Mr. Nolan. During the period of time that it is going to take to
hook up to 201 with all the ramifications of going up University
to Riverside and over to Sample Road, I believe he said something
like two years or two -and half years, what is going to take place
with our present plant that is in dire need of repairs?
Mayor Kravitz: Bill. Our City Engineer ... I would like him to
answer that for you.
C/M Gottesman: It's in the report.
Harold H. Newman: It is but I do not have the report.
Bill Greenwgod, City Engineer/Utilities Director: The Utilities
has authorization to maintain the existing treatment plant to meet
permitted capacity. We have allocated approximately $329,000 to
keep things held together and to maintain effluent quality in
accordance with our permit requirements.
Harold H. ;NeylMan: That is reflected in the report?
Mx -.-Henning: It's in his report.
Harold H.-Newman: O.K., thank you.
Mgvgr Krgyitz: All right. We now...
Mr. Silvelgieid: Is it possible to say something, Mayor?
Mayor Kravitz: Come on.
34
1/22/86
/pm
V/M MassarQ: Sure.
Mr. 'lv r leid: It will take two minutes. First of all, I want
to apologize to C/M Stein. If my whisper reached you, it was not
intentional.
Mayor vitz: Before you go ahead, would you identify yourself
for the record?
Mr. Silvergl-eid: The name is Dave Silvergleid, I am President...
this is my last day as President of the Isles of Tamarac, Home-
owners Association. Mr. Mayor, I do not have a copy of the report
but I have been given the general idea of its possible effects and
its significance. And, I would like to say this for the record.
The present situation where our wastewater system on NW 61 St. has
been a continual festering sore in the City of Tamarac.
Mr. Silvergl iid: I feel deeply sympathetic to the people who live
in Concord or Edgewater, close to the plant and who have been
afflicted with these noxious odors. On the other hand, we would
resent very deeply any attempt to move the plant into our
backyard. The Isles of Tamarac, Kings Point, Lime Bay, etc.,
where we might get the same odors.
If, as I understand this 201 proposal, it would eventually
eliminate any wastewater system or plant in the City of Tamarac by
arranging for the transference of pumping of the waste matter into
Pompano by means of a pipeline through our City streets, etc.,
this would not only eliminate this festering problem but, hope-
fully, it would take it out of the entire arena of politics. This
is where it is settled right now and it is ridiculous that the
people of Tamarac should be treated to a situation which is not of
the making of this particular Council as if it were their fault in
the first place. Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Kravitz: Vickie, I am going to ask you to excuse us, we are
so far behind. We have heard all the comments.
_Vickie Beech: There is a statement here in the report that I would
like to address to Mr. Nolan. It was his recommendation. That is
explanation only.
Mgvor Kravitz: All right. I do not want to refuse anybody but, at
the same time, we are so far behind, I would like to have the
people work with us on that. Go ahead.
Mrs. Beech: This is...I would like Mr. Nolan's comment on this.
"Conclusion and recommendation - A comparison of the twenty year
present worth analysis indicates that regionalization with the
County is less costly than Tamarac remaining as a sub -regional
entity. However, the difference between the two plans is calcu-
lated at less. than 1%. Within the accuracy of projections in this
report, neither plan appears to be clearly more cost effective
than the other. This has proven to be the case throughout the
recent history of the Broward County 201 Plan cost effectiveness,
calculations and reconfirms the conclusions of Chapter 5, 201
Facilities Plant, Update Revision, February, 1984. In Chapter 5,
the conclusion for Tamarac to remain as a sub -regional entity is
that the alternative is cost effective and the only one that is
implementable politically. Again, the results of a 20-year
present worth analysis indicate the decision is not an economic
one but must be implementable politically." Would you explain
that to me, please? I do not understand it. Thank you.
35
1/22/86
/pm
MLc N91an: I think that the inference is relatively clear. From
an engineering perspective and from a cost perspective, both
alternatives are almost equal. Therefore, something other than
engineering and other than financial has to be the controlling
factor. And, that is an institutional decision. And, if, in
fact, the statement that was made a minute ago about the continu-
ing problem associated with wastewater treatment plant is, in
fact, a continuing administrative problem, an institutional
problem, then a proper weight is applied to it and�that is the
deciding factor in the equation. Then, that's the institutional
factor that we are talking about. It is purely and simply not an
engineering and not a financial solution.
ck' B nch: Thank you.
Maygr Kra itz• Bill.
Mr. Greenwo d: Bill Greenwood, Director of Utilities, for the
record, the segment that was read into the record is not from the
final report. It is a segment from the preliminary report.

Mr. Greenwood: Page 2.
Mr. fle nina: Page 2 of the preliminary draft.
yLM M ss ro: The preliminary draft, what was the preliminary draft
doing out in the public for? They were recalled.
Mr. Greenwood: The preliminary draft, what it was read from was
the January 20th version...
V M Massa o: The one that was recalled.
Mr. GreeDWOod: Yes.
M M ss ro: I'll be damned. Mr. Stein, you are the only one that
had it.

Mayor Kravitz relinquished the gavel to V/M Massaro so that he
could speak on the issue.
Mayor Kravitz said regardless of where the utility plant is
placed, there will be many people disturbed. He said, fortun-
ately, a solution has been found to the problem since it is
apparent from the engineers report that for the next 6 years the
rates are going to be maintained at the same level. He said no
one can determine exactly what the economy will be after the 7th
year.

Mr. Henning said he feels this item should be tabled until the
specific leases are ready for Council.
Mayor Kravitz said in order to implement the treatment of the
City's sewage by the North District Regional County Wastewater
Treatment Plant, it is necessary to acquire capacity. He said, as
Mayor of Tamarac, he wanted to appoint V/M Massaro to act as
liaison and he MOVED that she negotiate a lease of plant capacity,
together with the City Engineer, Williams, Hatfield & Stoner, and
Alan Ruf, Consulting City Attorney, who has been handling the 201
Project for some time and bring the proposed lease back for
Council's review and approval. He MOVED that Temp. Reso^
#.3958 be APPROVED, SECONDED.by C/M Gottesman..
City Manager Perretti said Section-1 should read, "That a lease of
4.3 million gallons per day mgd of plant capacity from Broward
County and other large users.". Mayor Kravitz accepted this
amendment to his MOTION. Mr. Henning said legally he is reluctant
to authorize the approval of a lease that the City does not have
and the other large users are unknown at this time.
Mr. Henning said the title should be amended to read, "A Reso-
lution authorizing the negotiation of a lease for plant cap-
acity..." and, in Section 2, "The appropriate City officials are
hereby authorized and directed to negotiate the lease for Council
approval."

23..Homeowner Warrgntv.Bonds - Discussion and possible action to
authorize the City Attorney to prepare an amendment to the City
Code regarding homeowner warranty bonds for multi -family rental
developments.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: The City
Attorney was authorized to prepare
an amendment.to the City Code regarding
homeowner warranty bonds for multi-
family rental developments as soon
as possible with Council's suggestions.
Mr. Henning said this is on the agenda for discussion and a policy
decision by.Council. He said the City is.on.the brink of develop-
ment of many rental units and the Homeowners Warranty Bonds have
been in effect since June, 1976. He said the Bonds stipulate that
for,.3 years after a certificate of occupancy, the developer would
give the condominium or single family homeowner a bond of $1,500.00
per unit for 3 years against Code violations.
Mr. Henning said in 1981 there was an amendment to that to provide
for the owner/builder of single family homes but no one contem-
plated an owner/builder of condominiums or rental multi -family
projects. He said the Code calls for a bond in the name of the
owner and the City holds the bond to maintain control. He said the
developers are requesting certificates of occupancy on these
buildings and they are being asked to get the Letter of Credit or a
cash bond for a 3 year period. He said the Letters of Credit favor
the owner, therefore,,they are insuring themselves.
Mr. Henning said.they have discussed the possibility of a Beauti-
fication Bond and Code Compliance Bond, which,would be much smaller
than $1,500.00 per unit but would be several thousand dollars with
.a total project.
39
1/22/86
/pm
Mr. Henning said one proposal of what to do when these certificates
of occupancy come in for the Letters of Credit or the cash bonds
would be for Council to entertain an amendment to the Ordinance.
Mr. Henning said presently the owner/builder of a single family
home must prepare a document acceptable to the City, it is put int
the public records with the title of the house and states that if
the house is sold within two or three years, the subsequent owner
is entitled to a warranty which he must obtain from the seller. He
said the owner/builder promises to give that warranty to the
subsequent owner if he sells his home within two or three years.
Mr. Henning said the rental developers could put a similar document
into the records wherein if they sell their business or development
to a subsequent owner within the three year period, they would
provide the type of warranty that is contemplated by the Ordinance.
He said if they do not sell the property within three years, the
warranty period would expire.
Mr. Henning said this would be an opportunity to address the
Beautification and Code Compliance Bond in favor of the City
instead of the developer and it could solve a problem.
V/M Massaro said Council needs to consider an Ordinance that will
cover everything but until this is established, the developers must
comply with present Code by paying $1,500.00 per unit by either
cash or a bond.
Sid Workman, representative of Bayshore Capital Corp., said as it
currently exists, a 3-year HOW warranty bond, cash or a Letter of
Credit must be submitted. He said he would like clarification that
if they use a Letter of Credit, this could be one-year renewable
for three years. V/M Massaro said it must be non -cancelable.
V/M Massaro MOVED that the City Attorney be authorized to prepare
an amendment to the City Code regarding homeowner warranty bonds
for multi -family rental developments as soon as possible with

a) Authorization for Williams, Hatfield & Stoner, Inc., to
prepare the required "Statement of Convenience and
Necessity".
b) Costs to the affected property owners relating to the
individual homeowners' assessment for this project.
SYNOPSIS F ACTION: TABLED
to the 2/12/86 Council meeting.
Bill Greenwood, Utilities Director/City Engineer, said the
Engineering and Utilities Departments were trying to determine a
method to pay the cost of the local share for the construction
of the sanitary sewers to benefit 74 properties over at Tamarac
Utilities East. He said this method was by benefit assessment.
He referred to Memo #G86-15 dated 1/14/86 which explains the
preliminary assumptions and cost estimates. He said these are only
estimates -because they do not have construction bids at present.
Frank Etheredge, Finance Director, said this is a benefit assess-
ment that will be billed through the water bills. He said from the
figures presented so far, these 74 residents will be getting a bill
in excess of $90.00 on a bi-monthly basis.

Mr. Etheredge said he has approached the tax collector to see if he
will,bill these people through the tax records but he refused to do
that., He said the only other option is to set up a�special
assessment program.by which this is billed out of the Finance
Department.
V/M Massaro asked if these figures were for the lines to the homes
and Mr. Greenwood said no, just for the main line. V/M Massaro
asked if it takes into consideration the money that the grant
supplied toward it and Mr. Greenwood said yes. Mayor Kravitz said
at $45.00 per month it would be $540.00 per year and $5,400.00 for
10 years.
Mr. Greenwood said generally estimates are found to be within 10 to
15% plus or minus bringing this to between $5,000.00 and $6,000.00.
V/M Massaro asked how many feet per home there would be and
Mr, Greenwood said there are several ways to assess benefits. He
said this. method is. that, the benefit to each property regardless of
size since they are single family residences and the benefit would
be equally divided. He said they did not recommend front -foot
assessment because the main,reason to install a sanitary sewer is
to eliminate a potential health hazard from septic tanks. He said,
therefore, if one person - has a 60-foot lot and another person has a
75-Moot lot it is the same type of residence.
Mr. Greenwood said a commercial building would be based upon ERC
and flow, they would pay 2.12 times the amount that a single family
residential home would.
Rita Schaffner, President of Tamarac Lakes Sections 1 and 2, said
they are involved in this project and she feels $45.00 per month
for ten years is excessive to install a sewer line and she request-
ed this be researched further.
Charles Kearn, resident of Tamarac Lakes 1 and 2, said he under-
stood that the street piping would be paid by the City and the
residents would have to pay for the connections from the street to
the houses. Mr. Henning said the $45.00 amount reflects the total
cost minus the grant that was received. Mr. Kearn asked what the
amount of the grant was and Mr. Etheredge said $147,000.00.
C/M Munitz said $45.00 per month for 10 years would bring in
approximately $400,000.00. Mr. Etheredge said for clarification,
of the $45.00,per month that will be charged,.$15.00 will be the
regular water bill. C/M Stein said it is a little more than
$2,000.00 a home without the 7% interest.
Mayor Kravitz asked if the people can choose to pay in full or pay
in installments over 10 years and Mr. Etheredge said they could pay
in full if they wish. Mr. Henning said it must be clarified
whether this can be charged on the utility bill because, typically,
special assessments are collected with the tax bill.
Mr. Kearn asked if this would run with the land and Mr. Henning
said yes. V/M Massaro said this would be approximately $3,600.00
per household with interest payable over 10 years. Mrs. Schaffner
asked when this project will start and -Mr. Greenwood said the
project is presently out for competitive bids and the most
conservative estimate for time would be 60 days. He said it could
be as..long.as 120 days because everything must be approved by the
State once bids are received.

C/M Munitz asked how long this would take to complete and
Mr. Greenwood said the length of time would be approximately 4 to 5
months plus 4 months start-up time for a total of 8 to 9 months.
C/M Munitz said there will be a fee for Williams, Hatfield & Stone
to perform this service and he questioned whether this amount is
included in the estimated cost.
V/M Massaro said she did not have an estimated cost for the report
from Williams, Hatfield & Stoner and Mr. Greenwood requested this
item be TABLED to the 2/12/86 Council meeting.

APPROVED accepting the grant from the Florida
Department of Natural Resources in the
amount of $18,900.00 for asphalting the
parking lot.and removing the barrier gates
from the grant. Official bids will return
to Council for approval.
City.Manager Perretti said this is an agreement with the Department
of Natural Resources and, at the time when Sharon Ellis was the
Parks and Recreation Director, she had made a request for this. He
said at the time of.the request, the approval amount that the
Department of Natural Resources gave was $19,840.00 for the
asphalting of the parking lot area and the two barrier gates at the
entrance/exit that she requested. He.said when Mrs. Ellis made her
report over a year ago, she added items requesting that the City
pay for them. He said after reviewing this, a few of these items
had been completed, however, his -letter to Council on 1/17/86 is
requesting that the City proceed to accept the grant for
$1.9,840.00.
Mr. Perretti said Mike Couzzo, Public Works Director, received two
unofficial bids to determine how much it would cost to asphalt the
parking lot and one of the bids was $20,500.00 and the other was
$21,500.00. He said taking the difference between the amount of
$19,840.00 and the highest bid, it would be almost $1,600.00 that
the City would have to pay for the asphalting. He said this would
be worthwhile to do and the State wants this completed by January,
1987. He said he is recommending approval to accept the grant and
getting official bids on the asphalting.
Mr. Perretti said there is a question concerning the two barrier
gates at the entrance/exit and he, the Beautification Committee and
the Public Works Director do not see a need for these gates. He
said the amount quoted for them was $940.00; however, this is part
of -the grant and, if possible, they will try to do without the
barrier gates. He said, if not, they might deduct the $940.00 for
the asphalting, which was $18,900.00.
Mr. Henning said based on the terms and conditions of the grant, if
this is.accepted, any projects by the Recreation Department of the
City for functons at the park.cannot have a discriminatory fee in
favor.of residents. He said non-residents must be charged the same
as residents for any affair for a 25-year period.

59. Illness Calls by the Po _ lice -- end Fire Departments Discussion
and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Agendized by Consent on Page 3
Authorized the Police Chief or the
City Attorney to make arrangements
that the Police Department not respond
to illness calls in the future.
The following is a Verbatim Transcript of this item as requested
by C/M Stein:
Police Chief McIntosh: Joe McIntosh, Police Chief. You may
recall, Mayor and Council, that we discussed this a little bit
during the first budget session that we had. We were talking
about manpower and manhours used on certain calls and this is
something that I have talked about for a number of years because I
have always been against so many emergency vehicles responding to
any particular type of call. And, on all these illness calls and
also on accidents, the Police vehicles are running, the Fire
engines are running, EMS is running and, in many cases, the
ambulance. And, I have seen some of the serious accidents that
occur when emergency vehicles cross each other at an intersection.
That is my main concern.
The other thing that we mentioned at the time was the fact that
all of these units who respond to an.emergency do make a report
and it seems unnecessary to me, in most cases, since -we are the
last one usually to be notified of an illness call. When somebody
dials 911, 911 notifies Fire Central who then notifies,the Fire
Department and the fire engine...I do not know why the fire
engine ... but the fire engine runs and then EMS follows them down
the road and, usually at some point, EMS will pass the fire
engine.
M M ssilro: I do not know why the fire engine goes either, I wish
somebody would tell me.
NfY._Henning: I will tell you after we are done.
V/M Massaro: O.K.
Chief McIntosh: Anyway ... they all get there and, usually, when the
police car gets there, the others are already there and the Police
are not E.M.T.s and the only thing they can do is wait around
until everybody else is finished and say, "What's your name? How
old are you?" You know, that sort of thing. And, we make the same
report, which really is less of a report than the others do
because we do not have all the expertise and we do not have the
information to put in the same report that the others do. So, you
know, I have ... there is another side of this too. I would hate
for a police car to be right across the street from where somebody
is having a heart attack and not be able to jump in and help.
But, you know, that is not the rule. That is the exception.
n

1/22/86
/pm
Chi@f McIntosh: In most cases, like I said, the others are there
before we get there and it seems to me like in many cases now, we
have only 4 police cars on duty patrolling the whole City and to
tie a police car up for something to just put on paper and say,
"We were there", when we really did not do anything.
Mayor Kr?vitz: Chief, explain one thing to me. You just made a
remark. We only have 4 police cars on duty?
C i f McIntosh: No, I say in many cases, Mayor, like this past
weekend, we ... on the day shift we only had 4. Many times on the
midnight shift we only have 4. In fact, we had to call somebody
in to work overtime this past Sunday because somebody called in
sick. And, the contract says we must have 4 police cars on duty
at.all times.
on the evening shift, of course, we are in better shape and, right
now, I think everybody knows that we are short handed because of
the injuries and.resignations and things of that nature. So, we
are hurting right now and this is also another consideration here.
City Manager Perretti: I think another ironical twist to this is
that when our Fire Department gets on the scene and when the
Police Department get on the scene, they are doing all the report-
ing but along comes Medics and they pick up the person and they
bill the person for taking them to the hospital. So, it seems
like there is so much work being done uselessly here. And, the
people that are making the money on it is Medics who are the
carriers of the people to the hospital.
V/M Massaro,: Now, you are only talking about sick calls, you are
not talking about accidents here.
City Manager Perretti: I'm talking about accidents also.
M M ss ro: Aren't the police needed for traffic ... you know...
Chief McIntosh: The police have to come to investigate the
accident, yeah. The situation that I have always questioned with
the accident is, "Why do we need the fire engine there?"
V/M.Massaro: I do not know why the fire engine is there. Tell us.
Chief McIntosh: If we need the...if we need to extricate somebody
from a vehicle, yes, we need them.
V/M Massaro: Well, then, they call them ... the Jaws of Life.
Chief:McIntgsh:.Jaws.of Life...right. And, if we have a case
where.the street needs to be washed down with gasoline, then we
call them.. But, you know, I have never seen the need to have all
those units out there.
V/M Massaro: I do not either. There's a parade of cars when
anything happens and it clutters up the street.
Chief McIntosh: Sure.
C/M Munitz: They just get.in.each other's way.,,
Chief McIntosh: To me it is not necessary.
y M Massaro: Weren't you going to explain why they are necessary
...the fire engines....

MrsLHenning: Well, Council, we are addressing several issues. The
general policy or procedure is the first responder... who is the
first responder? Right now, the Fire Department is acting, along
with others, as the first responder and I think we should make it
clear that the Fire Department will continue until some other
decision is made, to be the first responder. They are the trained
E.M.T. (Emergency Medical Technicians), they are the ones that
would respond to the scene. Whether they respond in an ambulance
or in a fire truck is the big question that we are dealing with
even today and ... with attempting to get our ambulance permit.
Until we are permitted to use the ambulance system, we either use
the vehicle as a rescue vehicle or we use the fire truck. But,
the Fire Department...the team, the crew, stays with the fire
truck just as if they were in the fire house in the fire station.
The reason we send the fire truck is because if there was a fire
after the heart attack cleared and there was a fire down the
street, instead of having to go back to the station and pick up
the truck and go to the fire, the men in the truck stay together
so they are ready for a fire at any time. And, that is why they
use that vehicle.
VLM Mastro: The question is whether they should be responding.
Mr. Henning: Well, that is a big question and, frankly, I do not
know if you recall, certainly at the staff level, we have not
brought you the renewal lease for Broward County for the Emergency
Medical...the paramedics. Emergency Medical Services would like
to renew their lease at Fire Station 1. One of the conditions of
the lease is that they be ... that the City continue to be first
responder with the Fire Department to assist the Emergency Medical
Services system with the County. We put that on hold until we get
a little more understanding of what is happening with the ambu-
lances.
9,Z.M Stein: Mr. Mayor. At this hour, after four, we just cannot
decide this in five minutes. It has so many details to it.
Mr. ennin : O.K. The issue ... let me isolate the issue for you.
The issue is whether the Police Department continues to respond to
illness calls.
C M te'n: Wait a minute now. You just separated them again now.
We asked, "Does that include accidents?" and you said yes.
Mr. Henning: And I think ... I want to address that. Maybe we have
a misunderstanding here. If there is an accident on the street,
if a car runs into another car, the police may be needed for
traffic enforcement and control and accident report investigation.
So, I would expect they will continue to go to vehicular
accidents.
Chief McIntosh: Certainly.
MI.Henning: We are talking about illnesses. Typically, going to
homes and businesses for an illness call. We will leave that to
the Fire Department, the paramedics from the County and the
private ambulance companies.
C/M_Stei.n: That's three responders.
Mr. Henning: Yes.
1/22/86

/pm
C M Stein: I agree with that. I think I could go along with that
where we terminate the Police Department going to illness calls
but not accidents, obviously.
Mr,__Henning: Not vehicular accidents. If a man fell down the
stairs and broke his leg it would be an accident but...
V/M Massaro: If that is a MOTION, I want to SECOND it.
C/M Stein: No, we're talking about vehicular accidents.
Chief McIntosh: The other big question there is do we need a fire
truck ,at ,an accident?
Mr, Hgnning: Well, as long as we can't... it depends on the
ambulances. That's the issue. For now, we may have to use the
fire trucks. It depends on the ambulances.
V/M Massaro: Just a minute, excuse me. Why can't they go in the
ambulance? They don't have to cart anybody. Who's to stop you
from using an ambulance?
!QMt t 'n: Yeah, but, Helen, you miss the point. Let's say the
fire crew goes with the ambulance, right? Now there's a fire
call, now they've got to go all the way back to the fire house and
pick up the fire engine.
Mr. Henning: You have to have enough staff ... and this comes under
your minimum manning. You have 12 people on a shift, 13, 14, 15
firefighters on a shift to ... we have to leave a driver for the
fire truck in the fire house. If you have enough staffing and,
right now, you may not always have enough staffing...and this is
where you come into your staffing and the question the Council has
on the Fire Department. If you have enough staffing to have 2
people in the ambulance and a third man or person to drive the
truck stays in the station in case... so he can meet them at a fire
and do that in two stations.
M Massaro: Where does Emergency Medical come in here?
C/M Stein: They are not first responders.
MY, Henning: Well, yeah, they are.
C1M_ Stein: We are first.
Mr. Henning: We all are first.
V/M Massaro: No. The Emergency Medical are supposed to be first
responders.
Mr,. Henning: Correct. Paramedics are part of the first responders
program but it is a triple network. That's what we are saying.
They want us to assist them in their first responding.
VIM_ Massaro: Why?
Mrs. Hgnn,ing: Because if we can help avert some emergencies or
casualties then they can have one or two less vehicles.
Obviously.
City Managgg ti: The Jaws of Life.
Jaws of Life, we have the Jaws of Life.
They do not have the

Mr,,. -Henning: But, that's another question. I do not want to muddy
the waters. We need to address that when we talk about the
ambulances.
M M ss ro: Yeah, let's only talk about...
C/M Stein: I mean, let's do this. I think I would like to MOVE,
just to save time here, that we authorize the Police Chief or our
Attorney to make the arrangements that the Police Department only
respond to vehicular accidents.
V-M_Mass.dro: Let's put that clearer, that they do not respond to
sick calls. That's what we're talking about.
Tape 8 Mr. Henning: The City Manager is ready to make that decision and
he wanted you to be aware of what is going on.
Mayor Kravitz: Right, and that's what we said.
V/M Massaro: All right. I SECOND that.
My -or All right, we have a MOTION and a SECOND.
yicki Beech: Question, I would like you to answer a question,
please.
Mayor Kravitz: Go ahead.
Vickie Beech: Pertaining to your fire engine on a call because
I've observed...
Mayor Kravitz: But that's not under consideration here.
Vickie : No, what I wanted to ask is about, why is the pumper
running for 40 minutes outside.
Mayor_Kravitz: We all say that. That's not the issue here.
Mr. Henning: When they leave it idling?
'ck' ech: Yes.
Mx,-H-enning: You know, whether a diesel engine stays idling and
you see it all the time ... we do not leave our cars idling but
diesel trucks are left idling... that's a different deal.
Mayor Kravitz: That's not the issue. All right, we're up to, at
this point ... we have a MOTION and a SECOND, call the question.

41. Town Plaza o in Cent-erAf-ormerly Tamarac Park
Shopping-CQnter)- Temp. Reso. #3982 - Discussion and possible
action requesting this developer to prohibit a convenience
store at this location.
(Project to be located on the west side of University Drive,
south and east of Tamarac City Park)
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
The City. -Attorney was directed to send
a letter to the owner of the Plaza
notifying him that the property is too
close to the school and a church to be
able to sell alcoholic beverages.
Mr. Henning said there is no Resolution prepared on this item. He
said after expression of much concern regarding the name of the
shopping center, John Loeffler, the owner of the shopping center,
changed the name. He said Mr. Loeffler has had no leases and has
not negotiated any leases. V/M.Massaro said he has n.egoitated
with two people and Mr. Henning said there should be a meeting to
clear this point up because he has told him that he has not talked
to -any convenience stores about being tenants..
Mr. Henning said Mr. Loeffler would prefer not to have deed
restrictions on this property.

Mayor Kravitz suggested tabling this item with instructions to the
City Attorney to meet with Mr. Loeffler. V/M Massaro said she
does not agree. She said a letter should be sent to Mr. Loeffler
informing him that there are only 271 feet from Mr. Loeffler's
property to the school property line.
City Manager Perretti said he was told by Reverend Kaiser across
the street that he cannot put a convenience store, which can sell
beer and wine, there because it is too close to his church.
V/M Massaro said Mr. Loeffler must be put on notice that according
to State Law, he cannot have a convenience store at that location.
V/M Massaro MOVED to authorize the City Attorney to send a letter
to the owner of Town Plaza Shopping Center (formerly Tamarac Park
Shopping Center) notifying him that his property is only 271 feet
from a school and is very close to a church and he should not
consider putting any business there that would sell alcoholic
beverages. SECONDED by C/M Stein.
