1. PRESENTATION by Senator Peter Weinstein and Representatives
Peter Deutsch and Joe Titone regarding state legislative
matters.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
PRESENTATIONS were made.
Peter Deutsch's Aide, Laurie Vauter
was present.
Mayor Abramowitz said he was very pleased to see the
amount of residents attending this meeting. He announced
that Representative Peter Deutsch was ill and would not
be attending this meeting. He introduced Representative
Joe Titone.
Representative Titone said sessions regarding two
important items would be discussed beginning April 5,
1988. He said one of the items concerns problems with
crime in Florida especially the drug enforcement
problems. He said he served on the Criminal Justice
Committee and was Vice Chairman of the Judiciary Criminal
Committee of the State. He said the Committees are
finally realizing that money spent on rehabilitation for
drug users is an endless battle because every time they
sentenced someone to prison on drug charges, two more
cases occur. He said the only way to stop the drug
problem in Florida is to reduce the demand for drugs by
educating the youngsters. He said once a person becomes
addicted to drugs, there is very little anyone can do.
Representative Titone said drug convictions were causing
a tremendous drain on the State's resources. He said
because of the increasing population in Florida, the
State did not have the money needed for the
rehabilitation of drug users. He said the State had to
get good results from the money spent and, when the
money was used on crime, the money was considered as
wasted dollars because nothing positive was established.
Page 1 /
3/23/88
Representative Titone said the other item to be discussed
is Transportation. He said there were 900 new people
coming into the State every day and rural areas were
becoming more urbanized. He said the State needed more
roads and there have been discussions regarding
increasing the gas tax and new car registrations.
Representative Titone said his office is open for any
concerns the residents have and everyone was welcome. He
congratulated the new members of the City Council and
wished them luck in their terms of office. He said the
Municipal officers were very important in getting the
residents in Florida to participate in their State's well
being.
Mayor Abramowitz said the City Council will dedicate
their tenure in office to bringing Tamarac back into the
mainstream of Broward County and the State of Florida.
He said he wanted the State to know that the City of
Tamarac wanted what was coming to them. He said in order
to bring Tamarac back into the mainstream, the City
needed the assistance of the Senator and the
Representatives. He then introduced Senator Peter
Weinstein.
Senator Peter Weinstein congratulated the new members of
the City Council and wished them successful terms in
office. He said that finding the money needed for
Tamarac would be very hard to do this year. He said the
1988 Legislative Session would find the State in an
unusual position. He said along with the matter of the
repeal of the service tax, the Governor proposed a 20.5
Billion dollar State Budget and the State, at this point,
finds itself 200 million dollars short in funding a
continuation budget. He said the 1988 Legislative
Session would not provide a lot of new programs and plans
would have to be established to meet the tremendous
growth in the State of Florida.
Senator Weinstein said there were several developments
being constructed in the State because of the growth. He
said the State would have to find ways to handle the
30,000 to 40,000 new school children and additional
Seniors who needed services. He said one plan being
considered to help with the funding is to charge
additional fees for each new car brought into the State.
Senator Weinstein said studies regarding how to fund the
State would have to be done. He said he does not believe
that solutions would be implemented this Legislative
Session.
Senator Weinstein said the State will have to address the
matter of crime because it is the number one problem
facing the State. He said he is serving his sixth year
on the Judiciary Criminal Committee and the Committee has
studied and passed some very strict laws involving drug
dealing. He said a law which recently has been enacted
is allowing substantial increased penalties for those who
sell drugs in or around schools. He said once the drug
criminals get to the Courthouse and the Judge sentences
the criminals to prison, the Department of Corrections
had to sign exit papers for other criminals to make room
for the new ones. He said the State is 6,000 prison
spaces short, which is a crisis.

3/23/88
Senator Weinstein said two years ago he discussed the
matter of substantially increasing the sentencing
guidelines and, if this is done, it would cost the State
$250,000,000.00 over the next 10 years. He said if the
State did not improve the guidelines for crimes, the
criminal system would continue being meaningless. He
said the Legislators agreed with him regarding the
increase in the sentencing guidelines; however, the State
did not have the money and action regarding this matter
could not be taken. He said the crisis has become worse
and the Legislators would be looking for additional ways
and programs to meet this crisis. He said if the
residents of Florida could not be safe, then everything
else was meaningless.
Senator Weinstein said Transportation would be discussed
because of the growing population. He said the widening
of University Drive was a messy matter; however, the
project was State funded. He said the State was looking
into programs regarding the flow of traffic and
signalization on University Drive. He said he has been
working with the Department of Transportation and the
State was funding projects for West Broward as well.
Senator Weinstein said he has been involved with the
matter of Guardianship for the Elderly. He said the
abuses of the Guardianship Program in the State was
tremendous and amendments to the Guardianship law would
be made. He said he would attempt to get these
amendments passed for the Guardianship law, which would
allow more protection and court intervention to those
people who are the subject to the Guardianship Programs.
Senator Weinstein said his office was in Tamarac and if
the residents had an interest in a Bill or had a problem
that his office could assist in, he would appreciate the
residents informing his office of those concerns.
Irving Lopatey, Resident, addressed his concerns on the
HB-301 Bill for Massachusetts Medical. He asked if there
would be a companion Bill for the State of Florida.
Senator Weinstein said the Bill was in the House and the
Senate this year. He said this Bill would be discussed
for a long time before it is passed.
Aaron Heller, Resident, said the Hospital Cost
Containment Board was decreasing and he hoped the
Legislator would continue to support this Board.
Mr. Heller said Senate Bill SJR--30, Homestead Amendment,
would provide the taxing of the first $10,000.00 of
assessed value with $25,000.00 following. He said the
free riders should be mandated to pay this tax.
Senator Weinstein said he has spoken to all the residents
in his district. He
said
the Homestead Law was on the
Ballot in 1986 and several
people in
West Broward opposed
the Amendment because

Representative Titone said the Homestead Exemption Laws
now in existence benefited the rural parts of the State
rather than the urban parts. He said when the Bill was
Page 3
3/23/88
on the Ballot, the voters in the urban parts of the State
voted the Bill down. He said the matter is a
Constitutional Amendment; therefore, the voters had to
vote for the Bill.
Mr. Heller said the creation of an elderly affairs
department has been introduced to the House and he hoped
that a companion Bill would be passed so that the elderly
affairs people would be able to handle their own matters.
He said he hoped the Broward Delegation would assist in
supporting the Bill.
Mr. Heller said he has not seen a co-sponsor from the
Senate for HB-301 because the Medi-Care assignment was
very important for the State of Florida.
C/M Rohr asked how Senator Weinstein and Representative
Titone felt regarding the proposed Constitutional
Amendment that would prohibit State mandates on local
governments without State funding. He asked if this
Amendment would be supported.
Senator Weinstein said this matter was one of the biggest
problems being addressed this year. He said the State
could not force the Cities to fund a Comprehensive Plan
without helping the Cities find ways to fund it. He said
with the Homestead Law, everyone would have to pay their
share. He said the Bill for Homestead Exemption had to
be passed because it would help the State and Cities with
their funding. He said he would support this Amendment.
V/M Stelzer asked what happened to the Homeowner's
Association Bill of Rights and Representative Titone said
he has filed this Bill in the House several times and
there was more support coming from the House. He said
the State has been getting tremendous opposition from the
developers and there was a new Rules Chairman in the
House, which may allow the Bill to be passed.
Mayor Abramowitz thanked Senator Weinstein and
Representative Titone. He asked if Representative Peter
Deutsch's Aide would like to address the City Council and
the residents.
Laurie Vauter, Aide for Representative Peter Deutsch,
announced that Representative Deutsch was very ill and
was instructed by his doctor to stay in bed. She said
Representative Deutsch wanted her to announce that he
supported the Constitutional Amendment regarding the
Cities and insisted that the Cities should not have to
State Mandated Programs unless the State provided the
Cities with funding.
Mayor Abramowitz thanked Ms. Vauter and asked that she
deliver the message from the City Council in wishing
Representative Deutsch a quick recovery.

Melanie Reynolds, Resident of Sands Point, said she
understood that Mayor Abramowitz has been given an
indoctrination course by the City Manager and City
Attorney; however, she doubted that the Mayor has been
told that the City Council was functioning under two sets
of laws.
Mrs. Reynolds said the Charter was one set of laws and
the City Code was another set. She said there were
Ordinances within the City Code that were being violated
by members of the Committees which may be violating the
State Constitution, Laws and Common Laws.
Mrs. Reynolds said on April 2, 1986, Larry Bender, as
Chairman of the Planning Commission, was given a notice
of a new Plan Adjustment Committee; however, neither Mr.
Bender nor the Planning Commission had an opportunity to
study this notice or to hold the Public Hearing because
Mr. Bender was not reappointed. She said the new City
Council passed the new Plan Adjustment Committee
Ordinance on second reading and its Resolution on April
28, 1986, designating the charge of a $150.00 fee.
Mrs. Reynolds said the matter in which the Committee has
functioned was in violation of the Ordinance, which
mandated minutes be recorded. She said the recording of
the minutes has not been done since the Committee's first
meeting on May 27, 1986. She said the Committee was in
violation of Common Law covering dual office holding
because of the Councilmembers sitting on the Committee
and voting. She said the Committee was in violation of
the State Sunshine Law because its meetings were not
advertised or publicized. She said the Committee may be
in violation of Section 5, Article II, of the State
Constitution.
Mrs. Reynolds said the City Code as it is today, was
confusing, especially in the area of the conflicts with
the Charter and the Code. She said she hoped this City
Council would do something about the City Code.
City Attorney Doody said every five years the City
Attorney has met with the Municipal Code Corporation to
review the City Code and bring the Code up to date. He
said in May, 1988, he would be meeting with the Municipal
Code Corporation for the updating of the City Code.
Ed Solomon, Resident of Sands Point, said he was
concerned with the City not having an Investment Advisory
Committee. He said the Committee was created by the vote
of the people and this Committee should be eliminated by

C/M Rohr - reported on the City's consideration of a recycling
program. He said the City Council should educate the
citizens on the need and value of the recycling program.
He read an editorial comment from the Miami Herald which
said, "The old solution, dumping, just is not the answer.
Much of the nation's trash problems arrive from the
place to dump and from pollution of water supplies by
leakage from dumps. Deerfield Beach, which has Broward's
only mandatory recycling program, figures it has saved
$5,000.00 in the first two months of it's recycling by
diverting 1.58 tons of newspapers from the north Broward
dump. Boca Raton and Palm Beach County has had a
newspaper recycling program for 14 years and it yields a
net of $147,000.00 in paper sales and savings of dumping
fees. While the County program would be welcome,
Deerfield Beach and Tamarac are showing that Cities need
not wait for the County to take the lead. The cost of
trucking garbage to the dump has gone up considerably for
South Broward Cities with the closing of the Davie dump
and the new incinerators will more than double the
disposal fees. Recycling makes cents as well as sense.
Broward Cities owe their residents both."

8. MOTION TO APPROVE a City Selection Committee to

to be located at 7601 N. University Drive, which committee
is to be composed of:
Larry Bender
John P. Kelly
Patricia Rancati
Michael Couzzo
Robert Jahn
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
APPROVED.
Councilman District 4
City Manager
Principal, Tamarac Elementary School
Director of Public Works
Chief Building Official
City Manager Kelly said the Competitive Negotiations Act
required services which were being secured by
professional architects or engineers for projects costing
more than $5,000.00 to be advertised and a City Selection
Committee to be formulated.
City Manager Kelly said he formulated the recommendations
for the participants on the Committee and he recommended
C/M Bender because his district was where the project
would be constructed. He said because the School Board
would be participating in this project, the School Board
recommended Patricia Rancati, Principal of Tamarac
Elementary School, as a member of the Committee.
City Manager Kelly said after the Committee formulated
recommendations, they would review the recommendations at
an advertised meeting and select the top firms that they
felt would be respectable for the project. He said a
second meeting would be held by the Committee to
interview the selected firms. He said after the
interviews were completed, recommendations would be
submitted to the City Council by the Committee for the
firms they felt were responsible and fit the project's
needs.
City Manager Kelly said a Negotiating Committee would be
formulated to negotiate with the firms in order of the
Page 9
3/23/88
priorities recommended to the City Council by the
Committee. He said this process was in the best interest
of the City and he recommended this Committee be
approved.
V/M Stelzer MOVED to APPROVE this Committee, SECONDED by C/M
Hoffman.
V/M Stelzer said this would be the first time a
Councilmember was on a Negotiating or Selection
Committee. He said the City Manager suggested C/M Bender
be on the Committee. He said for many years he has been
against Councilmembers being on Committees which approve
the selection of architects or engineers, etc., because
regardless of how careful the Councilmember was, he would
be voting on the Committee as a Councilman. He said when
the recommendations were brought to the City Council, the
same Councilman voted on the selections and there may be
a conflict of interest involved. He said he had no
objection to C/M Bender being on the Committee; however,
the City Council should take into consideration that when
public vendors, developers, etc., are involved in a
Committee decision, a Councilmember should not be
permitted to vote with the Committee.
C/M Rohr said he agreed with V/M Stelzer's concerns. He
said a Councilmember should not be put in a position
where there may be an indication or a thought of a
conflict of interest. He said in the future, the City
Council should be involved with the final vote as opposed
to being involved in the selections and negotiations of
the Committee.
Mayor Abramowitz said he was comfortable knowing that C/M
Bender was an Engineer and would be participating in
selecting the firms for this project. He said C/M Bender
was not picked by the City Council, he was recommended by
the City Manager to participate on this Committee. He
said if the City Manager felt C/M Bender would be an asset
to the Committee, then C/M Bender should serve on the
Committee. He said the City Council's objections were
well noted and he appreciated their concerns.

Mayor Abramowitz opened and closed the Public Hearing
with no response.
Mrs. Brown -Porter said the zoning on the property is
currently B-6 and the Legal Description is the "Summit
Professional Complex", in Plat Book 101 at Page 29. She
said the request is to rezone from B-6 to B-2 and the
number of acres involved is 7.6786 acres. She said the
Planning Commission approved this Item.
At this time Mayor Abramowitz relinquished the gavel to
V/M Stelzer.
Mayor Abramowitz said he was not against a developer,
builder or progress in the City of Tamarac. He said with
his election he felt that the City Council received a
mandate from the public. He said the indiscriminate
ability of anyone to confront the City Council by
requesting and receiving a zoning change without the City
Council knowing why, was not an acceptable procedure. He
said when a developer, property owner, builder or
business had problems with the zoning of land, the City
Council should be informed why the land needed to be
rezoned. He said if there were requirements, rules and
regulations within the City's Ordinances, the City
Council had the legal right to change the Ordinances.
Mayor Abramowitz said if there were problems with the
zoning of the
property, he would be sympathetic and help
in having the property contain something that would be
beneficial to the City; however, he finds difficulty in
voting for a matter that he was not fully aware of. He
said staff has been very helpful in explaining the
problems with the property; however, he was not pleased
with someone having the ability to make a change without
the elected officials knowing exactly what the problem
was or, with what was being planned for the property.
Mayor Abramowitz said he was not referring to this
Ordinance, specifically. He said there needed to be work
done on the City's zoning problems and he asked the City
Manager to direct and coordinate Workshops for the
City Council regarding zoning in the City rather than
changing Ordinances to meet the problems of the property.
At this time, V/M Stelzer returned the gavel to Mayor
Abramowitz.
V/M Stelzer said he was surprised that no one from the
St. Malachy's Church and Section 9 and 10 was present at
this meeting to discuss this change. He said this change
was vital and the only business operating on the property
was the NCNB Bank. He said the remaining property was
vacant and there was a fence surrounding it. He said the
zoning should not be changed without informing the City
Council of what would be located on the property.
Page 12
3/23/88
V/M Stelzer said there was a school to the north of the
property and residential property to the east of the
property. He said the City did not want to have an annex
on the property and he would like to get more information
regarding what would be on the property.
Mrs. Brown -Porter said the property currently has asphalt
paving and the buildings which were located on the
property years ago, were demolished. She said when staff
received the zoning petition, the application stated the
purpose of the rezoning was to encourage and provide a
wider range of services to the surrounding community.
She said contract zoning problems did not allow the City
to require a Site Plan. She said the property was a
problem because of the zoning and, when this Item was
brought before the Planning Commission, they expressed
their concerns in having a Site Plan available; however,
the City had no governing powers to request a Site Plan.
Alex Shather, the Architect for the owner, said a Site
Plan could not be produced because the owner was not sure
what the property would contain. He said the Planning
Department indicated that the B-6 zoning was a problem in
Tamarac and in the Broward County Land Use Plan
Ordinance. He said the owner of the property was
receptive to what the City would recommend for the
property. He said a shopping center was not planned and,
if the City wanted to see a hotel or hospital, the owner
would be willing to comply. He said B-6 zoning limited
the property in containing office buildings. He said the
owner was finding it difficult to use the property in a
B-6 zone.
Mr. Shather said NCNB Bank was
using the front of
the
area for public parking. He said
the NCNB Bank had
their
own parking facility; however,
the property being
used by
the Bank was closer to the Bank.
He said the area
and
the easements were constantly
being repaired. He
said
there were water wells on the
eastern part of the
property that had to be mowed
in order to provide
access
for City personnel. He said the
owner needed the
City's
assistance in resolving these
problems and in utilizing
the property.
V/M Stelzer said he would like to see the property
utilized; however, until the owner had definite plans for
the property, the City could not change the zoning. He
said the wells located in the area had to be protected
and, until further information about what was planned for
the property is discussed, the City could not approve the
rezoning. He said he did not want to vote against the
Item; however, he would like to see the Item Tabled for
further discussions regarding the property.
C/M Hoffman asked if the B-6 zoning required that
residential and commercial business be mixed and Mrs.
Brown -Porter said the City Code stated that the property
owner may mix residential and commercial business. She
said under the Broward County Land Use Plan, a
residential zoning that could go into a commercial area
would have to be done by a Land Use Plan Amendment. She
said this process conflicted with the Broward County Land
Use Plan, the City of Tamarac's Land Use Plan and the
City's zoning. She said the zoning would permit a use
that is not permitted under the County or the City Land
Use Plan.
Page 13
3/23/88
Mrs. Brown -Porter said if the owner wanted to have units
the City could not deny them since it would be a
permitted use within the zoning category. She said the
City would then be in non -conformity with the City and
the County's Land Use Plans. She said the B--6 zoning in
the City of Tamarac has been a problem for several years
and the County said the City had to eliminate residential
uses from being considered in a commercial zone or rezone
the property to meet the requirements.
Mayor Abramowitz said he was not convinced that B-6
zoning had to be eliminated and asked if the zoning could
be changed. Mrs. Brown -Porter said yes; however, the
residents surrounding the areas were concerned about
losing their property value.
C/M Hoffman asked if the developer could build a bank in
B-6 zoning and Mrs. Brown -Porter replied, yes.
C/M Hoffman said if the developer tried to add
residential over the bank, the City would have problems
with the County and Mrs. Brown -Porter said this problem
did occur once in the past.
C/M Hoffman asked if the County would permit a developer
to build residential above commercial and Mrs.
Brown -Porter said the County allowed a 5% flexibility
rule and within that 5% flexibility rule, the City may
have to approve this type of development if the developer
met the criteria set by the County and City's Land Use
Plans.
Mrs. Brown -Porter said the State provided a Small Scale
Development Law, which allowed for developers to
construct this type of development if the acreage was
considered small scale. She said the State may allow the
development units of density; therefore, the zoning had
to be changed to protect the City.
Mrs. Brown -Porter said changing B-6 zoning to eliminate
residential areas was not the problem. She said B-6
zoning allowed for a lesser amount of setbacks to the
front of the property, which would create problems with
the ingress/egress of the property.
C/M Hoffman said the City Council could approve a new
Ordinance which would Amend the setback requirements and
eliminate residential use in a B-6 zoning area.
Mrs. Brown -Porter said a new Ordinance could be drafted
amending those conditions; however, there were minimal
problems that had to be worked out. She said the City
attempted to eliminate 26 uses in the B-2 zoning and redo
the B-6 zoning last year; however, there were problems
with the time involved in getting an application for an
Ordinance Amendment through. She said it took 12 to 16
weeks to get the Ordinance Amendment approved and the
City had to act on applications within a 15 day time
period.
C/M Hoffman asked what would happen if this application
was Tabled and Mrs. Brown --Porter said because the City
Council wanted the matter discussed further with
residential being eliminated and the setbacks adjusted,
the matter would be handled by the City Manager.
Page 14
3/23/88
C/M Rohr said since the developer did not have a definite
plan for the property, the time frame would not be a
problem. He said he was concerned with what was being
placed on the property. He said because the City Council
in the past did not have information on properties or the
right to know what was planned on the properties, there
were shopping centers'that were not being occupied. He
said he would like the City Council to have more power in
controlling what was being built on properties.
C/M Bender asked what prompted the owner to ask for the
zone change and Mr. Shather said 1-1/2 years ago, the
owner asked him to do a site plan study for the property
to utilize the B-6 zoning. He said a site plan was
drafted and the B-6 zoning allowed the site plan of two
buildings, approximately 59,000 square feet. He said
there was space for 600 cars to be parked and the site
plan was in compliance with the City Code. He said the
owner began to discuss the property with companies, such
as, NCNB Bank; however, the market dictated what could be
done with the property. He said the owner could not
obtain the financing with specifications unless there
were pre -leases of 50%.
City Attorney Doody cautioned the City Council in
discussing this matter. He said there was a distinction
between zoning and site plan approval and the Item being
considered is for zoning. He said the City Council
should be considering the zoning district being requested
by the applicant. He said if the uses in the zoning
district were unacceptable for the parcel, then that
could be the basis for the City Council's decision. He
said the Courts have made it clear that it was improper
to refuse zoning based on a specific use.
C/M Bender said he would like to know what the owner had
in mind for the property since a request for rezoning was
being applied for.
TAPE 3
City Attorney Doody said the zoning being requested is
for B-2 and, if the City Council granted the owner the
B-2 zoning, the owner would be able to use B-2 zoning
uses.

City Attorney Doody said it was acceptable if the

regarding what was going to be built on his property;
however, he cautioned the City Council from refusing

concerns and asked that he inform the City Council when
he felt they were jeopardizing their position.

Milton Guberman, President of U.S./Israel Trade

the United States. He said the object of Sister Cities
was to promote brotherhood and understanding to all
Christian and Jewish citizens and with all mankind. He
said in the future, it is hoped that the citizens visit

were no commitments and money involved with this project

9. MOTION TO APPROVE rejection of all bids received under
Bid #88�7, exclusive three-year towing agreement for the City of
Tamarac, as recommended by the City Manager.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
APPROVED.
City Manager Kelly said the bids received for the towing
project were not to the benefit of the City and he
recommended that the bids received be rejected. He said
this project has gone to bid twice and the first
rejection was requested because the bid requirements did
not specify the need for a Performance Bond by the
companies. He said this rejection was being requested
because two bids were received and the amounts being
proposed by the companies would not benefit the City.
City Manacter Kelly said he recommends that the Public
Works Director award the operation to the company best
qualified on a rotating basis. He said there were
problems with towing companies and it was in the City's
best interest to have a rotating agreement with the
towing companies rather than being locked into a 3-year
contract with a towing company.
C/M Rohr said the City would not be involved with
franchised towing companies under the rotating agreement
and City Manager Kelly agreed.
City Manager Kelly said the franchised companies were
willing to pay the City $17,000.00; however, franchised
companies would not allow the City to control the fees
that the companies would charge for towing.

Bill Greenwood, Director of Utilities/Engineering, said
Nob Hill Road was to be constructed in 1992 and the
project was moved from 1992 to 1987. He said the County
was funding the road's construction and the City agreed
to prepare the design as a contribution. He said an
Agreement was entered into known as the "Jones
Agreement", on the south half of the road. He said the
Agreement provided that Keith and Schnars, Consulting
Engineers for the developer, coordinate all road work,
including drainage and road design.
Mr. Greenwood said the road was designed by Keith and
Schnars and, in accordance with the Agreement, Keith and
Schnars would be reimbursed from the traffic impact fees
generated for the City once the development was finished
and operating; therefore, the City did not have to expend
money on the project at this time.
Mr. Greenwood said the road connected Commercial
Boulevard and Nob Hill Road. He said during negotiations
and design, the County would not permit more than two
road openings. He said one opening is at the southern
quarter section line, the main entrance into the southern
half of Land Section 7 and the other opening is on the
northern quarter section. He said the City was not going
to be permitted to have a road cut onto Nob Hill Road
because the County wanted to limit access to the road;
however, the City Planner negotiated with the County
Planners and the road cut was approved.
Mr. Greenwood said the City received plat comments from
the County and the County rescinded their decision to not
allow a left turn into the new City Hall Complex. He
said since the road is under construction, the City,
paying for the project through Keith and Schnars, could
have this project completed for $4,800.00 and the City
staff was seeking to use the County's unit prices to
build the stacking lane for the left turn.
Mr. Greenwood said this Item needed approval to prevent
extra money being spent to reconstruct the curbs for the
left turning lane. He recommended this Item be
approved.
* C/M Rohr MOVED to APPROVE this Item, SECONDED by C/M Hoffman.
C/M Hoffman asked how much this project would cost and
Mr. Greenwood said staff would like to have the Item
approved with the provision that the amount for the
project would not exceed $4,800.00.
C/M Rohr asked if the City would be receiving a refund
from the plans of Nob Hill Road being 4 lanes as opposed
to 6 lanes and Mrs. Brown -Porter said there were several
discussions regarding the road being 4 lanes as opposed
to 6 lanes; however, the right-of-way has not been
reduced to 106 feet. She said the Lennar Corporation and
the City of Tamarac felt that this road would not be a
primary road and would be a circulating road for the City
of Tamarac's residents. She said the developers paid
fees to have a 6 lane road and the City has been trying
to use that money for projects within the City. She said
the City would not be getting a refund if the road was 4
lanes as opposed to 6 lanes because the money was the
developers' money.

Mayor Abramowitz asked if the money had to be returned to
the developers if the road was made a 4 lane road as
opposed to a 6 lane road and Mrs. Brown -Porter said the
County informed the City that once the impact fees were
paid, the monies would be used for the roadway systems
serving the developments.
