1. Status Report - Operations - Discussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Report by City Manager
IWM
4/9/80
mr/
Mr. Gross said that work commenced this morning, 4/9/80, after
numerous problems between the Contractor, the County and the City,
for the testing of the lines. Upon completion, the Contractor will
be paid, and inspections made, he said. He further stated that it
will not involve a problem, if the check is made out to the County,
but if it is designated to the Contractor, then the City Attorney will
prepare a release, which the County will also execute.
He stated that the extreme amount of rain within the past week, and
effluent levels into the system being at plant capacity, were problems
that were handled by Staff and the City Engineer. He further stated
that the connection into the County system was necessary at this time,
in order to permit everything to be handled correctly. He responded
to C/M Disraelly, by stating that the average in -flow was approximately
5,000,000 gallons per day, with a 4.9 system presently in existence.
Mr. Gross advised that $15,000.00 of the $52,000,00, which was autho-
rized by the City, has been encumbered, with $6,400.00 of the work
having been completed and paid; and $8,600.00 for repair of catch
basins and TV'ing of the lines, still continuing.
The City Manager advised that the County Commission authorized the
County Administrator to sign the agreement with the City of Tamarac,
on Tuesday, April 8, 1980, for the relocation of the pipes on Commer-
cial Boulevard. It was also noted that the County would loan the
City of Tamarac the related monies, at an interest rate of 6.1%, for
such relocation.
C/M Disraelly said the cost of the project was $250,000.00, and
$15,000.00 would be owed, based on a yearly period.
Mr. Gross said this fiscal year was based on the signing of the
contract, which was accomplished 4/8/80, with the balance of the year
or 6 months being in the amount of $7,500.00. The monies, he said,
would come out of the bond issue, once they are sold.
Mr. Gross further advised that the County was going for bid for
McNab Road within the next thirty days, and felt that at this time
work would be required by the City Engineer. He also said that the
surveys of the road work would have to be checked, in order to deter-
mine the area of the lines. The City Manager said that because the
County was going for bid would not be a definite indication that the
roadway between 70th Avenue and University Drive will be built. He
stated that the intention of the bond issue was not to build west of
70th Avenue, which would be for completion at a later date. But, he
said, the maps which accompanied the bond issue information, did
show completion of the road to University Drive, and it was the ruling
of the County Attorneys that they could not comply with the resolution,
but would have to abide by the indications on the map. He also said
that the bids would show 300 feet west of University Drive. But, if
the bids are submitted with high figures, he said, and because the
bond issue was a problem, it was possible that nothing would be com-
pleted past 70th Avenue.
The City Manager said that pipe relocation was being checked on
McNab Road, and, if needed, and the road work is completed, the formal
work will be accomplished; with preparation of an agreement similar
to Commercial Boulevard. These pipes, he said, only involved water
and sewer lines, but drainage would be instituted once the system
is completed.
Mr. Keating said that if the pipes are under the new pavement, they
require relocation.
Mayor Falck advised the City Manager of a sprinkler pipe, as relates
to Prospect Road, which is parallel to 53rd Street, and does not
meet the standards. He said that the residents of the Boulevard Sec-
tion will be required to incur the expense. He requested that the
City Manager notify the residents in the area, at the proper time,
because of monies required for the survey, preliminary work and pipe
replacement.
Mr. Gross said that he did not have any information to report on
Developers' Agreements.
C/M Zemel requested information or back-up data on the McNab Road
projection, in order to familiarize him with previous work.

stated that a Board was formed, consisting of two Policemen and one
Detective, with evaluation of performances each month. He displayed
the plaque that would be posted on the wall within the Police Depart-
ment, which would list each Officer of the Month for 1980, and his
photo.
r) Police Officer Daniel Johnson received the Officer of the Month
Award, plus a commendation. He said that on Wednesday, February
20, 1980, at approximately 11:50 A.M., he responded to a call over
the CDC radio at 7907 N.W. 72nd Avenue, of an attempted suicide.
Upon arrival, he said, contact was made with a white female victim,
who had consumed a quantity of sleeping pills, and armed with an
eight inch butcher knife. The subject, Chief Roche said, took
vicious swings, when approached, and threatened to use the knife
on herself. Officer Johnson patiently spoke with the subject,
and was able to disarm her.
For the courageous and fast reaction, conscientious and diligent
efforts, which resulted in the prevention of serious injury, and
deserving of the highest praise, Officer Johnson was selected as
Officer of the Month for March, 1980, and officially awarded the
department commendation.
C/M Zemel said this was a proud moment for him, because five years
previous he was the co-founder of the Tamarac Fraternal Order of
Police Associates, and does consider many of the Police Officers
friends, and others very good acquaintances.
Mayor Falck said all of Council was proud of the Police Department
and their activities. He felt that the public could be of assistance
in promoting arrests and apprehension of suspicious individuals. The
Mayor commended the Acting Chief, John Roche, for everything that has
been accomplished to -date, with the continuation of such an excellent
record.

5. Community Assistance Program - Grants - Presentation by International
Systems, Inc. concerning services in procurement of grants for the
City.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Presentation was made
y Ms. Ellen Hunter.
Ms. Ellen Hunter represented International Systems, Inc. of Atlanta, and
said that she came in from Orlanda, and found that her luggage was
lost, which contained her file on the City of Tamarac.
She said the company was based in Atlanta, with an office in Washington,
and were presently working in 38 states, and contracting with both
cities and counties. She also added that they were attempting to pro-
cure additional Federal Grant Revenues to offset the .local tax burden.
Ms. Hunter indicated that her company has been in operation for the
past eight years, and originated in the state of North Carolina. She
said the company has a few individual specialists, who were working
with a number of local governments, and have been capable of implementing
an effective grants assistance program.Ms.Hunter said they have expanded
to larger jurisdictions, as well as smaller communities, namely, the
City of Birmingham, Alabama, North Las Vegas, Delaware County - Penn-
sylvania, and North Miami Beach.
She elaborated on the method of the program; by stating that a service
representative would be sent at the beginning of the contract year, to
the City of Tamarac, who would prepare a client profile, which was an
extensive demographic study, and a grant services questionnaire. The
responses, she said, would be coded into the computer based in Atlanta,
which generates the computerized grant-scan,that was a listing of the
1500 Federal programs, and those that are available, and can be quali-
fied, as to the interests expressed. It was noted by Ms. Hunter that
most of the clients grants scan consists of 300 to 400 programs.
Ms. Hunter said that an important part of their service is the assign-
ment of a personal representative for each client, and is responsible
for sight visits to the locality, and working with the client on a
daily basis. The representative, she said, will devise the program
most suitable to the client, with submission of an expressed interest
of participation in a project; after payment has been made for the
application. She said there was a possibility of funding for a project,
and the funds were not available, but when available, they would proceed
with it. This would put the client ahead of a neighboring community,
that has not yet decided to act on the particular project.
It was further noted, she said, that Atlanta has a staff of 45 re-
searchers, grants writers and program specialists, with experts in
every field; namely, Public Works, Community Development, Transporta-
tion, Education and Criminal Justice. Also, she said, they have a toll -
free WATS line , and the clients could use this at any time, as relates
to questions on a specific program area. Another function of the Re-
search Department, she said, is the preparation of the "grant grams",
which copy was given to Mayor Falck,This. contains summaries of programs,
deadlines on particular grants and pending legislation, guidelines,
and so forth, she said, and is mailed once a month to the clients,
which serves as an up -date to the grant scan.
Ms. Hunter additionally informed Council that they also pursue State,
Regional and private foundation grants, as well as Federal. She dis-
tributed copies of sample contracts, indicating that their fee for
service would be based on population. The 1970 census was still being
used, she said, and the figure for the City of Tamarac was 18,000, with
a qualified fee of $24,000.00 per year. She further added that the fee
is guaranteed, and if grant revenues are not obtainable for the City,
in excess of $24,000.00, then the difference would be refunded. Also,
if they were totally unsuccessful in obtaining any grants, then the
entire amount would be reimbursed; noting that the City would not incur
any other costs.
Ms. Hunter indicated that a discussion was held with Mayor Falck, as
- 7 --
4/9/80
mr/
related to difficulty in procuring grants, and she has obtained a
profile of the City's demographics. She said that eligibility for
most HUD grants would not be available for Tamarac, because it was
a fairly young City, without a minority population. She felt that
due to the large elderly population in the City, there would be a
number of programs benefiting the majority of residents; namely,
transportation grants, title 3 grants of the Older Americans Act,
which includes congregate housing, housing grants, nuitrition programs,
as well as recreation and senior citizen programs. It was her company's
feeling that they could perform a valid service for the City, by pro-
viding additional grant revenues in most needed areas. Ms. Hunter
requested that a list be made as to what the City considers to be
leading items.
Mayor Falck felt that the largest single problem was the lack of
transportation in Broward County, and all of southeast Florida. He
said there was less than 100 buses on the streets, for over a million
people, on a daily basis. As compared to Dade County, the Mayor said
there were 400 buses.
Ms. Hunter said that she was aware of Vans being purchased for trans-
portation, for the elderly, as a UNTA program, but felt that it was
not her place to deliver specific information as to the various grants.
Mr. Gross advised that County law does not permit the cities to go
for many transportation grants, but is instituted through the County
Transportation Authority.
C/W Kelch inquired as to percentages for each grant, which relates to
the $24,000.00 fee, and the method of application when grants are re-
ceived.
Mr. Hunter said it was based on the amount of the grant, and the dif-
ference involved with the $24,000.00 fee, which would determine the
reimbursement. She informed Council that the contract indicates tech-
nical assistance in some grants that are in-house, but the guarantee
only applies to grants that the company writes in Atlanta. Ms. Hunter
also stated that they would research "matching grants", if there is
such a request, as to the requirements, and would require a letter of
authorization from the City, which form is in existence.
The City Attorney was in attendance at this time.
C/M Zemel inquired whether it was the unilateral option of ISI, as to
a refund, or continue with an item to obtain grants, in order to reach
the $24,000.00 fee.
Ms. Hunter said that the contract she distributed was a sample, but
it was subject to negotiation, with a limit being placed on this. She
said that by the end of the year, if fewer dollars in grants were ob-
tained for the City, with some grants still pending, an extension clause
was put in to allow them the opportunity of refunding monies, even if
it was after a two-year period.
Ms. Hunter responded to a question by Mr. Gross, as related to any
grant that the City would obtain, to which she stated that only the
grant which goes through Atlanta would be involved in the fee.
Mr. Birken said that it was custom for a consultant to agree that they
would not do work for a competing city in the same geographic area,
because of conflicting interests.
Ms. Hunter indicated that she was not aware of such a custom, and has
never encountered such a situation. She did state that ISI does only
add a limited number of clients in a fiscal year, due to competition
and conflicting interest. She also noted that there were three other
meetings she was planning to attend in Florida.
Mayor Falck stated that the So. Florida Regional Planning Council indi-
cated that Tamarac would be entitled to 3% of the total available to
the region served by this Planning Council, which included Broward,
Dade and Monroe Counties. It was noted, he said, that the 3%
will come off monies that have been allocated to the County, and other
municipalities in each of the three Counties. The Mayor said a
synopsis of such action will be distributed by him, which involved "no
-8- 4/9/80
mr/
strings" attached. He additionally stat(.d this was the advantage of
participation in this type of activity, which was discussed approxi-
mately 6 or 8 months previous. The Mayor said it would be available,
if the project as submitted and approved on Monday, 4/7/80, is approved
at the Federal level.
6. Canal Fishing - Presentation by Irving Epstein concerning fish stock and
debris in the canals.
Mr. Epstein said that he had problems with the Fish. & Game Commission
in Tallahassee and Palm Beach, for the past 2 1/2 years, with no commit-
ment of fish from the hatcheries. He said that he informed the "press"
of this information, which resulted in a call to him from the Fish &
Game Commission in Tallahassee, to discuss this.at a future date.
Mr. Epstein said that he informed the Commission that a new innovation
was introduced in fresh water canals, which are called "reefs", and
was instituted in the ocean. This reef, he said, was protection for
the young fish, the fingerlings that were received from the hatcheries,
which allows them to survive. He suggested that a "tire reef" would
be logical, and could be put together and sunk in the canals. He res-
ponded to a question by Mayor Falck, by stating that the canals can
be as deep as twenty feet, and are conducive to bringing in fish.
C/W Kelch said that she has been working with Irving Epstein for a
long period of time, and expressed Council's appreciation for his
sincerity and real interest he has taken in this project.
Dr. Maurice Abbey commended Mr. Epstein on the efforts he has shown
for many years, in attempting to obtain fish in the canals. He felt
there was not enough oxygen to promote restocking of canals, and with-
out this, nothing can survive. Dr. Abbey said that the gentleman in
charge of the Game and Fish Commission should be approached, in order
to effect a complete analysis of the water, and the reason for the
lack of oxygen, and the cost involved.
Tape Mr. Epstein requested a survey be made, as to the discussion held by
Side Dr. Abbey on the secondary canals. He said this has been accomplished
#3 on the C-14 canals, and the water has been proven satisfactory. He
also said that the lack of oxygen in the secondary canals only involved
the opening of the C-14 canal gate, and the fresh water will enter the
canals, and enhance the oxygen contents.

9. Utility Easement at Public Works Complex - Discussion and possible
action on request of Florida Power and Light for a Grant of Easement
by the City along 88th Avenue by Temp. Reso. #1458.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled to recessed meeting
of 4 14 80, pending additional input.
The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1458, and indicated that he
reviewed the easement, which was legally sufficient, but was irrev-
ocable once it was granted.
Mr. Gross said that if it is not granted, it could still be put in
on the property right-of-way, which would be a detriment to the City,
and recommended that the easement be approved.
C/M Disraelly advised that he spoke with Brian McCaughey, and also
checked the area with the City Engineer, on the aerial map, and it
was determined that the north -south easement being requested is in
the swale area between the right--of-way and the parking lot. Also,
that the east -west easement being requested, is in the Swale area
north of the parking lot. Mr. McCaughey advised him that this is
a necessity for a switching station, which would tie-in with the new
facility being built in Sunrise, that would provide additional service
to the City of Tamarac. C/M Disraelly said the supply service facility
could be as large as 8 X 8 feet square, and there was a request to
place the entrance on the south side of the box, in order to permit
the men working in the area to be away from the residential area.
Mr. McCaughey also confirmed the fact that plantings would be placed
on the north - east and west side of this area, and felt that the City
will receive cooperation from FP & L.

mr/
M.
He then MOVED for the adoption of Temp. Reso. #1458, authorizing the
appropriate City officials to execute a grant of easment to FP & L,
and C/W Kelch SECONDED, and inquired as to this structure conflicting
with access,and development areas in the location.
Mr. Birken said that restrictions could be put into the grant, which
may not be acceptable to FP & L.
V/M Massaro was in attendance at this time.
Mx. McCaughey of FP & L said that the reason for the easement request
was due to the growth in the western sections, and a new sub -station
was required. He said that from this station there are "feeders",
which are main electrical lines, and requires an area of a switching
pad to different lines, when problems occur. He further stated that
it is a self-contained, completely enclosed,and in a metal structure,
which facility is not large.
C/M Disraelly acknowledged the fact that the north -south pad will be
underground, and the east -west pad with the switching structure
would be approximately 8 X 8 X 4 1/2 feet above ground.
Mr. McCaughey said tk*ey would put plantings around the area, and will
be pleased to work with Mr. Thissen. He also said that this was in
the area of the maintenance building. It was stated by Mr. McCaughey
that it would be difficult to move this area at a later date.
V/M Massaro said there is a possibility that this area may be sold,
and the City may not remain there, and may not continue the use for
municipal purposes, and might cause problems. She inquired as to
putting this facility on the other side, where the hospital land is
located, on the southwest side, where 35 acres are situated. The
Vice -Mayor said they have very definite plans, with the use being
indicated for a hospital or a veterans hospital.
C/W Kelch said that she concurred with the Vice -Mayor, as to defacing
utilization of this property, and would prefer to have this item
tabled for additional research.
Mr. Gross said that because the meeting would be reconvened on
Monday, April 14, he felt that FP & L could research the area with
the County, and return at that time.
Mr. McCaughey said that he would confer with their Engineering Depart-
ment, and report back to Council on Monday.
Mayor Falck said there was concern about the property and also the
people, because of the availability of electricity.
V/M Massaro felt that the exact location should be staked -out. Also,
if FP & L is not able to obtain the property on the southwest side
from the County, or whoever owns it, that a provision be made for
movement of the facility, if it is placed in the originally planned
location.
C/M Disraelly WITHDREW HIS MOTION, and C/W Kelch WITHDREW THE SECOND.

The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1581,
C/M Zemel indicated a deletion of the word and in the second WHEREAS,
after New Police Vehicles to the lowest.
C/M Disraelly indicated that line 7 in the report, on the ruled paper,
states six (6) vehicles to be deadlined, except for vehicle #15.
The other four (4) vehicles, outside of the work accomplished at the
Public Works Department, indicated expenditures in excess of $500.00
for each of the vehicles,with outside labor, parts and materials.
He further noted that the deadlined autos would either be "junked,

scavenged or cannibalized", or possibly be transferred to another
area of the City.
Mr. Gross said that his recommendation was for seven (7) vehicles;
also an attachment indicating a breakdown of the police units, as
enumerated by Lt. Stuurmans and Chief Roche, as to where the vehicles
are located, and those to be taken out of service. He further stated
that six (6) vehicles would be taken out -of -service, because of the
additional manpower needs for the department.
Acting Chief Roche said that the purpose of the cars was also for
cross -training officers, which involved additional vehicles. He
further indicated that an older unmarked vehicle could be used for
surveillance in various sections of the City during the night. Chief
Roche advised that the new vehicles would be Malibu Chevies.
Mayor Falck said that he recently read a detailed analysis released
by Consumer Reports, on maintenance of cars, their stability and
survival.
Mr. Gross said that only one company bid at this time, because police
cars are not being manufactured in volume, due to the different equip-
ment. But, he said the cars are needed, and older, more abused auto-
mobiles, with 130,000 to 140,000 miles should be replaced. He also
stated that cars being used by detectives are not involved in the
same type of service or road -time per day as the patrol cars, which
are used 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week.
Chief Roche said that the majority of cities, including the Sheriff's
Office, are using Malibu automobiles, with excellent reports.
Mr. Gross responded to C/M Zemel's inquiry, by stating that mechanics
would be sent to the General Motors school in Jacksonville, which
involved a three-day course; in order to familiarize them with the
automobiles.
C/M Zemel MOVED that Temp. Reso. #1581, awarding a bid for seven (7)
new police vehicles, under Bid #80-07, be approved, and. be awarded
to Gary Fronrath Chevrolet, Inc., Ft. Lauderdale, Florida,for the
unit price of $7,371.92, and a total amount of $51,603.44. C/W Kelch
SECONDED the motion.
Mr. Gross said that it was the intention of the City to not sell the
six (6) automobiles, until they are cannibalized, with the non -usable
parts being sold.
Lt. Stuurmans advised that five body shields could be purchased
separately, and is not included in this bid package.

28. Newspaper Collection - Temp. Ord. #619 - Discussion and possible action
to require preparation and separation of newspapers. First Reading.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted on 1st Reading
The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #619.
C/M Disraelly said this item was previously discussed, with the indication
that it would proceed, once the ordinance is passed. Also, changes, he
said, would be instituted with the garbage collectors. He MOVED to adopt
Temp.Ord. #619, on first reading, and C/W Kelch SECONDED.
C/M Disraelly explained that a contract will be prepared with Durbin
Paper, for such collection, with a minimum of one day per week throughout
the City. He also said they will place advertisements in the newspaper
to advise the residents of the collection day. The City, he said, will
receive 10% of the proceeds of the paper that is weighed -in at Durbin;
with a guaranteed floor of $18.00 a ton. He also stated that the price
of paper today is approximately $40.00, and $4.00 per ton will be re-
ceived.
C/M Disraelly said that discussion was held with Browning -Ferris Inc.,
and a contract will be prepared by the City Attorney, whereby the cer-
tified tonnage that is established by Durbin, will warrant a refund to
the City for 500 of the dumping charge from BFI, in addition. The
present cost of dumping is $9.00,, and $4.50 will be reimbursed for every
ton of paper delivered, and the City will save a minimum of $13,000.00.
He also advised that it would be obtained from the condominiums.
Mr. Milt Klika inquired as to independent contractors being put out -of -
business, to which C/M Disraelly stated that the ordinance has a pro-
vision to that effect. He additionally stated that the newspaper ad-
vertising would be paid by Durbin, as to separation of papers, and also
pick-up days; with additional notification by the Presidents' Council.
Mr. Birken said that prior to notification of the residents, a contract
would be required, and modification with Browning -Ferris, Inc., by
amending the contract to provide that a Franchisee can pick-up the
garbage. He also said that an Agreement and a Franchise Ordinance has
to be prepared, granting a franchise to Durbin for paper pick --up, and
will not be fully implemented in two weeks.
In response to Melanie Reynold's question as to the effective date,
the City Attorney replied that it was approximately six weeks, and
said there is a violation to the ordinance, if someone else does pick-up
the papers; such as 90 days in jail or a $500.00 fine, or possibly both.
C/M Disraelly replied to a further inquiry of Ms. Reynold's, by stating
that the word "licensed" should remain in the ordinance, in order to
have control over the monies that come into the City.
C/M Zemel inquired as to whether wet newspapers would be taken, to
which C/M Disraelly replied that this was discussed with Durbin, and
4/9/80
-12- mr/
who determined that the water is computed by meters, and would be their
responsibility for pick-up.
Tape C/M Zemel requested that a safeguard be included for individuals taking
Side papers from a stacked area, and the fine that would be involved, to
#4 which the Vice -Mayor said this is difficult to put into an ordinance.
Mr. Harry Weisenberg advised that the Durbin Paper Company refused to
pay the AMVETS, after pick --up was made each week, in order for them
to earn monies and purchase a means of transportation for taking the
Vets to the hospital. But, he said, since that time, Broward County
has instituted such a program. Mr. Weisenberg said the dumpster was
located on 110th Avenue, where the papers were placed every Sunday.
He said that Durbin picked up the papers, reduced the prices, and re-
fused to pay over $200.00. He felt they should be investigated, and
the City Attorney should be aware of this.
Mayor Falck indicated that Council will take the necessary precautions
in licensing, and the fulfillment of a contract.

35. Woodmont Country Club - Revised Site Plan - Discussion and possible
action on request to reconsider Council action of March 26th, concerning
the proposed tennis equipment building.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled to recessed meeting
of 4/14 80, pending additional information
from applicant.
Marvin Weiss, representing the Country Club, said that the building
was of pre-fab construction, but was not temporary, and would be used
for storage of tennis court equipment. fie added that it was .located
in the rear of the courts, had passed Dade County product approval,
and was a nice -looking building. He responded to a question of
C/M Disraelly, by stating that the chain link fence was temporary,
and the concrete slab and walk have not been installed to -date, but
the existing large slab is for the tent.
C/W Kelch also felt that it was to be temporary, with approval of such
use for one year. She said that construction of a shed would not ex-
ceed a period of more than one year, and should conform to tie --down re-
quirements.
V/M Massaro indicated that approval was given as a temporary structure,
and if consideration is to be made for a permanent installation, then
Council would be required to view this in a different manner. She added
that approval was given, due to the fire that occurred, and to make life
as easy as possible, particularly for the residents, because of the rec-
reational facilities, and storage of equipment. The Vice -Mayor said
this was a cooperative effort on the part of the City Council, but ad-
vised that a permanent structure would need to be reconsidered.
Mr. Weiss said that permanent storage is required for the tennis equip-
ment, and reiterated that it was in an area which was not easily viewed.
He did state that there were two steel buildings located somewhat further,
with one for the Maintenance Department, and the other housed the little
golf course carts.
C/M Disraelly stated that Gene Toll, the developer, expressed concern of
a shed in the area, because he was building approximately 200 feet from
the area, with involvement on Tract 64.
Don Rafice of Montwood, Inc., said that the Council could be supplied
with a rendering of the facility; also including the landscaping. He
said it would be an aluminum shed, and it was for the purpose of storage
and materials, to which the Vice -Mayor responded that they were not
interested in approval for a temporary structure, but a permanent one.

report from Al Miller, the Acting Chief Building Official, dated 3/17/80,
which indicated that a beautification inspection was conducted on 3/10,
and buildings H, K, L, M, P and R requirements were met, and the release
of the bonds have been satisfied. C/M Disraelly further added that bonds
for buildings S, T and V were being held and outstanding; also the
problem of drainage between buildings H and J necessitated holding those
bonds. He reiterated that Mr. Miller and the Plumbing Engineer both
concurred that the beautification bonds could be released.
C/M Disraelly said that he inquired of Larry Keating and Rafael Pena,
as to the drainage problems between buildings H and K, but has not re-
ceived a final report as to its completion.
Larry Levine, the developer, advised that the "puddle" problem in the
vicinity of building H, has been corrected, with resurfacing and elimina-
tion of the defective area. He also stated that a meeting will be held
on Friday, 4/11, with the Homeowners Engineer, for review of this specific
problem, to determine if additional remedial work has to be done. He
felt that the work has been accomplished, with invoices being paid for
the problems between buildings H and J, but the Homeowners and their
Engineer would be required to approve this.
V/M Massaro inquired as to the various bonds, to which C/M Disraelly
responded that the landscaping bonds were cash, and the drainage involved
surety bonds. She was also reluctant to release bonds, as to the cor-
rection of drainage, and was sympathetic to the people living under
certain conditions. She felt that the bond for H and K buildings should
be held, and release be permitted for L, M, P and R.
Mr. Levine said that Council is still holding subdivision improvement
bonds, which relate to drainage problems, and will be resolved.
C/M Disraelly MOVED that the bonds be released for buildings L, 11, P
and R, and V/M Massaro SECONDED.
Melanie Reynolds said that in the rear of buildings K, L and M, it was
not beautiful. She also noted that Mr. Levine did not give landscaping
for Phase 4, but just a typical plan. Ms. Reynolds advised that very
often she is not able to exit from building L, due to excess water, which
has existed for a long period of time.
C/M Disraelly said that he reviewed the beautification with Dick Rubin
-14

mr/
and Evan Cross, and it does conform with the requirements of the City.
He also noted that some trees were replaced, because they were of im-
proper size. C/M Disraelly said that unfortunately he was not informed
as to the problems in front of building L, at the time that H and J
were discussed; which has been on -going since September of 1979.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.
Mayor Falck advised that the bonds would be released, and at the time
that satisfactory evidence is presented for the drainage, then they
would also be released.
C/M Disraelly said the figure amounted to $7,566.00.
V/M Massaro inquired of Mr. Levine,as to completion of the drainage,
to which he replied that it should be accomplished within 30 days.
She then MOVED that the request for the release of the other cash bonds
not be brought back until Mr. Levine submits the necessary evidence
that the drainage has been corrected, and C/W Kelch SECONDED.
Mr. Levine voiced his objection to the withholding of monies for
beautification, to which the Vice -Mayor stated that certain areas
have not been completed properly, and felt that this particular
condition should be investigated.
V/M Massaro further stated that the City Engineer will be requested
to examine the drainage and view the area, and, if it is not correct,
then formal notice will be given to Mr. Levine and the surety people.
She said that until that time, no action will be taken.
C/M Disraelly said that the City Engineer has been in the area, but
he has not officially received a formal answer.

The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #730.
Mayor Falck opened the discussion to the public.
Harold Newman of Westwood 23, inquired about the enforcement of handi-
Tape capped spaces, to which the City Attorney responded that the State
Side Statute requires compliance; with the citation to be personally given
#5 to the driver by the Police Department. He further stated that a notice
on the vehicle was not adequate, especially if it was going to be con-
tested. Mr. Birken also stated that it could be a burden on the Officer
to wait for the driver of the vehicle, but during Chief Stocker's employ-
ment with the City, it was noted that misdemeanors have been enacted by
ordinance, under the Florida Statutes. He also said that it was con-
ceivable and possible that citations for violations of City ordinances
could be issued, with the burden of proof being somewhat different.
Mayor Falck closed the discussion to the public, because there were no
further comments received.
C/M Disraelly noted a recommendation by the City Attorney, whereby
the language on page 2, beginning with line 17 to line 21 1/2, should
be deleted, because it is covered under the normal City Code, and
would be redundant. He said this would include the last three words
on line 17, and continuing through the word "provisions" on line 21.
C/M Disraelly said that it was determined that many handicapped parking
spaces were not being utilized in most shopping centers; and this
deletion would enable the City's Ordinance to conform to the State,
by reducing the amount of handicapped spaces.
C/M Disraelly MOVED for adoption of Temp. Ord. #730, on second and

(See page 18)
The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #714, and advised that he sent a
memo to Council on 12/31/79, setting forth the rationale for this ordi-
nance. He said this would permit Council to be aware of the property
being platted, and its use. Mr. Birken said that many situations have
occurred whereby plats were submitted, but site plans were not presented
until the plat review process was taking place. It was noted by the
City Attorney that it is not always reasonable to require platting and

site planning at the same time, and felt that enactment of the ordinance
would provide knowledge and input to Council for development plans
involving a piece of property.
C/M Disraelly confirmed the fact that a parcel of property could be
platted, but if the site plan is not submitted at that time, it would
not be approved for six months.
V/M Massaro inquired about the ordinances for site plan and recreation
fees, to which Mr. Birken stated that there were two ordinances pre-
pared, which were presented to the Planning Commission for public
hearings. One, he said, would eliminate the option of dedicating land
for the use of future owners, and was prepared two weeks prior to the
second one. The second ordinance, he said, required payment of park
and recreation fees at the time of site plan approval for platted
property. He said this involved property either platted in the County,
before park and recreation dedication requirements existed, or property
platted in the City before their requirements were in effect.
V/M Massaro felt that Temp. Ord. #714 should not be adopted, until
action has been taken on the park and recreation fees. She inquired
whether this ordinance was required to be presented to the Planning
Commission, to which Mr. Birken indicated that it was necessary to do
this, prior to Council's consideration. He requested that Council
hold this item until inquiries have been made.
30. Beautification Committee Duties - Tea. Ord. #715 - Amends Section 6
and 7 of the Code transferring certain duties from the Planning Com-
mission to the Beautification Committee.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved on 1st Reading
The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #715.
C/M Disraelly advised that this item was proposed and discussed at
a Pre -Agenda Workshop meeting, also, at the 3/26/79 Workshop, with
input. He said it was the feeling of Council that the Beautification
Committee should have the landscaping plan duties along with the sign
ordinance. C/M Disraelly further stated that they would have adequate
time for such consideration, because the Planning Commission has plat
and site plan determinations to be made;also pertaining to Section 28
of the City Code. He stated his approval of the transfer of duties
to the Beautification Committee. C/M Disraelly then MOVED for the
adoption of Temp. Ord. #715, on first reading, and V/M Massaro SECONDED.
Melanie Reynolds indicated that she has followed the Beautification
Committee since its inception in 1972, and disagreed with C/M Disraelly
that they were an excellent group. It was her feeling that they were
not all capable and qualified, and would require additional qualifica-
tions for the handling of landscaping.
V/M Massaro felt assured that if the proper material was given to this
Committee, for their consideration, along with additional duties, it
would promote more interest in this area, and involve a greater incentive.
She then stated that she was happy to have seconded the motion.
Ray Baade, Chairman of the Beautification Committee, discussed the
adequacy of the signs, and felt their effectiveness was a problem due
to the non-conformance of the ordinance, as relates to the signs. He
indicated his service on the Beautification Committee in 1975, 1976,
and 1977, when landscaping review was considered to be part of their
duties. Mr. Baade said that he was not a qualified landscape engineer,
nor was any member of the Committee, at that time, but familiarity with
the ordinance was necessary.
Harold Newman inquired about the fruition of the landscaping, especially
the nursing home on 88th Avenue, for trees, shrubs and lawn maintenance,
to which C/M Disraelly stated that the City Manager has a memo on the
enforcement of the landscaping at the nursing home. It is, he said,
called to the City Manager's attention, after reports have been sub-
mitted by Planning Commission members to their Chairman.

Discussion and pos-
approved at the
approval. First
Mr. Birken reported that the Planning Commission considered this
ordinance on 1/16/80, with two minor comments being recommended;
line 2 of the title, it was suggested that a comma be inserted, after
the word "plans", and on line 15, the word within should be removed, and
be substituted with "before".
V/M Massaro felt that single-family and multi -family should have a
requirement written in for the payment of recreation fees, and felt
there was no reason to withhold site plans for six months.
ivir. iBirken said problems. arose last year with COILULtercial properties,
with concern as to use of the property, upon submission of the plat.
At that time, he was requested to prepare an ordinance requiring sub-
mission of site plans and plats at the same time, which he did not feel
was reasonably possible. He said that subsequent to his memo of
12/31/79, he did not recall any input .from Council. Kr. Birken said
that frequently and legitimately the basis for the sale of property,
was that it be platted.
V/M Massaro felt that the purpose of platting for purchase or sale of
property, wasdue to requirements being placed, especially as related
to roads. These considerations, she said, sometimes precludes a
developer from site planning property, but would not approve a penalty
being inflicted. She then MOVED to table this item, until further
consideration could be given, and C/M Disraelly SECONDED.

36. Faith United Church - Discussion and possible action on request for
directional signs.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Council's motion was for
Mr. Dohl to submit his request to the Beautification
Committee.
Ray Baade, Chairman of the Beautification Committee, advised that
December of 1979, Mr. Dohn, who was a representative of the Church,
contacted the City Council. The purpose, he said, was for approval
of three 24 X 36 inch metallic directional signs. He said, thereafter,
three sites were visited, for viewing of the recommended areas for
location of the signs, to assist parishioners and visitors in locating
the Church. He determined that the three sites would be logical loca-
tions for exposure, and also submitted copies of a memo to Council, on a
meeting with Mr. Dohl. The need, he said, was to stay within 10 feet
of the right-of-way, to get property owners permission and consent for
such display, and, also get these items agendized before City Council.
He also advised that it was necessary to draw a rough or fairly smooth
plot plan, in order for Council to understand the relation to an inter-
section or canal.
Thereafter, he was surprised to find these signs erected, because he
did not notice any indication of this request on Council's agenda.
He later found that these signs were placed without Council approval;
which were removed, as per the Code Enforcement Officer.
C/M Disraelly referred to a letter from Rev. Don Stauffer, the Pastor
at the Faith United Church, to Dick Mercer of the County, requesting
that a small sign be placed at the end of 57th Street, on Commercial
Boulevard. He said that based on a sketch, it was understood that the
sign would be placed on the "turnabout" at the end of 57th Street,
where it comes to the berm. This, he said, was to be a sign post,
which was similar to a stop --sign, at the prescribed height of a 2X3 foot
sign, north of the sidewalk.
Mr. Baade said this would be at the end of the old "S" curve.

C/M Disraelly also noted that the sketch indicates 10 feet from the
sidewalk.
Mr. Baade informed Mr. Dohl that the end of the "S" curve would require
City Council approval, because he did presume that it was City property;
also, another location, at the corner of Steak and Ale, would require
their permission, which is on private property. The third location
requested, he said, was at the canal, crossing 64th Avenue, north of
57th Street, to which C/M Disraelly advised was considered to be North
Lauderdale. Mr. Baade additionally stated that this has not been pre-
sented to the Beautification Committee, and the ordinance does require
application.
Mr. Birken said that Section 11 of the ordinance does provide applica-
tion for an .exception or waiver from the City's Sign regulations, with
payment of a $25.00 fee; also, noting all required information on the
petition. Thereafter, it would be submitted to the Building Department
and Beautification Committee, which would then be presented to the City
Council. He also said there was a specific prohibition about signs
in a public right-of-way, and waivers.
V/M Massaro said that new rules cannot be established at this time,
Tape and MOVED that Mr. Dohl be notified to take this to the Beautification
Side Committee, and go through normal channels. C/M Disraelly SECONDED,

The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #729, and said that on page 2, a
blank has to be completed, for the number of years an organization has
to be located in Tamarac. Also, he advised, that a non-severability
provision has been included, which could refer back to the County
Ordinance.
V/M Massaro suggested that a time limit be included for not less than
two or three years, in the area left blank.
C/M Disraelly said that on page 1, line 28, the first five words to be'
underlined, "as otherwise set forth herein"; also, on page 2, line 2,
the word "corporation" should be inserted, after the word firm. He
added that on line 5, the words "non-profit" should precede organiza-
tion; with the number to be inserted on line 6, should be"three (3)
years,"as to new organizations being involved in the City.
C/W Kelch indicated that the Planning Commission recommended addition
of the word "corporation", and "three (3) years"; also suggesting that
the following language be added after years, on line 7; "and is in
compliance with the Land Use Plan of the City of Tamarac".
C/M Disraelly MOVED that Temp. Ord. #729 be adopted, as amended, on
first reading, and C/M Zemel SECONDED.
Mr. Gross said that the Police Athletic League, a new organization with
the City, has been in existence less than 6 months, and discussed a
fund-raising activity of bingo.
Peter Fatizzi represented the Italian -American Club in Tamarac, which
is a non-profit charitable organization, and fosters civic activities
such as scholarships, sponsorships, etc. He said they have approxi-
mately 250 members, with 950 of the members being residents and tax-
payers in the City. Mr. Fatizzi said this resolution would prevent
private organizations and enterprises from sponsoring bingo games,
which distributes monies out of the City.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved on 1st Reading,
with City Manager to provide additional input.
The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #744.
C/M Disraelly inquired of the City Manager, as to whether the fees
have been paid by all the companies, prior to the loth of the month;
whether copies of insurance policies are on file with the City; also,
deposits of $2500.00 have been submitted by all the companies, as a
requirement, or a three -months fee. He further asked whether an annual
audit has been prepared for each of the companies.
Mr. Gross responded that the fees were being paid, but could not
guarantee that it was by the tenth of the month; that insurance policy
copies were on file; also, that originally $2500.00 deposits were re-
ceived from all the companies, but would review this area, to determine
if they were still valid.
V/M Massaro felt that the Finance Department would arrange the audit,
and prepare a report, to which Mr. Gross advised that to his knowledge
an annual audit was not prepared, and would suggest that the items be
tabled to the 4/14/80 recessed meeting.
Mr. Birken advised that the franchises will expire at the end of the
month, and felt that approval could be given on first reading, at this

C/M Disraelly reiterated the items to be researched by the City Manager;
1) payments being received each month, 2) copies of insurance policies,
3) deposits of $2500.00 or three months fees, whichever is greater, and
4) that an annual audit has been received from the companies, which
has been checked and approved by the Finance Officer.
C/M Disraelly said that no action will be taken on 2nd Reading, until

when setback requirements are changed. Discussion and possible action.
First Reading.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved on lst Reading,
as amended.
The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #732, and advised that the Planning
Commission did not recommend enactment of this ordinance. He said
that the Chairman was satisfied with the following language change
which was proposed by him, for clarification of intent; on page 2,
the underlined language in the last sentence should read; "However,
when there are additions to these structures, the additions must satisfy
the setback regulations in effect at the time the additions are added".
C/M Disraelly said he requested this ordinance, due to the number of
people who have appeared before the Board of Adjustment, whereby the
sideyard setback requirements in the Woodlands was five (5) feet, at
the time of building. At this time, he said, the City Ordinance re-
quired a 7 1/2 foot sideyard setback. If, he additionally stated,
there was room in the rear of a home, for additions or a swimming pool,
it was necessary to appear before the Board of Adjustment, in order to
get a variance, which would grant the allowance for the addition, and
conform to the City's Ordinance. No provision, he said, was made to
grandfather a situation that existed. C/M Disraelly said the ordinance
now shows that the City changed the rules, at this time, and the resi-
dents can live with the rules as they exist presently.
C/M Disraelly MOVED for the adoption of Temp. Ord. #732, on first

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved on lst Reading,
as amended.
The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #737, and indicated that additional
language was requested by Council, and also stated that the Planning
Commission recommended changes. Mr. Birken said that C/W Belch sug-
gested the addition of a requirement; 4)"that the parcels shall be
joined in such a way that vehicles may travel from one parcel to the
other without going onto the public right-of-way. The traffic pattern
between the two parcels shall be approved by the City Council prior to
granting of any credit for parking spaces on another parcel".
Mr. Birken suggested that the present requirement #3), should be
added as #5); with the verbiage which was recommended by the Planning
Commission being included as #3) "any driveway or potential driveway
connecting the adjoining parcels shall not be computed for calculation
of required numbers of parking spaces".
C/M Disraelly said that he requested computation of parking and existing
parking spaces, and was advised there were 235 spaces. Also, he did
ask for a definite breakdown by usage, to which the City Attorney replied
that all his inquiries have been answered. C/M Disraelly further added
that when action is taken, it has to conform with the City standards,
as relates to occupational usage, or a waiver has to be submitted.
Mr. Birken said that the State Agency is frozen, as indicated in
Section 2, and there will be no deviation as to the exact number of
parking spaces required.
V/M Massaro MOVED that Temp. Ord. #737 be approved on first reading,

REPORTS
43. City Council
C/M Zemel said that he received complaints from residents in Lime Bay,
as to fast and dangerous traffic coming out of Visual Graphics early
in the morning, and then again at 5:00 P.M. in the evening. He did re-
quest the Police Chief to investigate this, and was advised that traffic
enforcement will be instituted.
C/M Disraelly felt that the City Manager should write to each shopping
center in the City, advising them of the new Parking Lot Light Ordinance.
He stated they are not conforming to the 90 degree downward require-
ment. He said at the shopping center where the Italian -American Club
is located, there are no parking lot lights at night.

He also felt that the same letter should advise the shopping centers
of the new City Sign Ordinance, with a form to be completed, which
has been established by Ray Baade and him. Additionally, he stated,
they could be made aware of the new Handicapped Parking Ordinance,
which would permit them to pick up new parking spaces.
C/M Disraelly inquired about the sign to be corrected at Lindsley
Lumber, to which the City Manager advised that it is finished, and
is beautiful.
V/M Massaro said that she has received complaints from Section 7, as
to the condition of the roadway, which is serious. She stated that
Mr. Gerren of the D.O.T. was aware of the situation, and felt if a
particular area required the most relief, he would attempt to include
a traffic light into the original contract. The Vice -Mayor suggested
the installation of a twin light at 50th Avenue and Commercial Boulevard.
She added that the median has been removed in the area because the
entire road is being shifted, but would be restored approximately in
one year, or in the future.
She said there were six lanes of traffic open, with no road markings,
and a constant flow of traffic going east and west. She also said
that twin lights on 50th Avenue, would also serve the people coming
from 49th Avenue.
Mr. Gross said that the Community Service Aid could be used, when
available, during the hours of 8:00 to 9:00 A.M. and 4:00 to 5:30 P.M.,
Monday to Friday, for assistance on 50th Avenue and Commercial Boulevard.
V/M Massaro requested that the City Manager inform the Presidents in
the area, as to police assistance and the use of the twin lights, to
which Mayor Falck also added that the people in Section 6 should be
advised.
V/M Massaro additionally stated that the condition of Commercial Boule-
vard, and the extreme "pot --holes" in the road, are unconscionable, and
causing damage to the automobiles. She said that Mr. Gerren advised
that Williams, Hatfield & Stoner were responsible for "getting after"
the contractors.
45. City Attorney
Mr. Birken said there was a re -hearing on the garbage case, before
Judge Latimer, on Monday, and the plaintiff's motion was denied. They
have a right to appeal within 30 days to the Fourth District Court.
44. City Manager
Mr. Gross said that a greater portion of his report was made on the
sewer plant, which was Item #1 on the Agenda. He indicated that there
were no major problems during the rainstorms, because of the work that
was accomplished on drainage. He noted that in Sections 23 & 2.4 people
were adding "greenery" around the catch basins, which was causing more
flooding problems. He stated that the properties were built for proper
drainage to the catch basins, with valley gutters between the homes.
The City Manager indicated that the people would be notified to remove
the beautification around the area of the catch basin,aprons, and swale
right--of-way, or the City will be obligated to do this.

mr/
V/M Massaro confirmed the fact that an additional bond for the
sidewalk and sodding of the swale, would be difficult to obtain.
She determined, after review, that the swale could not be seeded,
because the Ordinance required sodding, to which Mr. Rubin concurred.
She also noted that the City Engineer's recommendation as to the
bond for the sodding and sidewalks, is valid. The Vice -Mayor said
that Mr. Keating was going to check the South Florida Building Code,
as to a conflict, with sidewalk installation and sodding of the
Swale areas; and required inspection to be delayed until that
period of time. She also requested that Mr. Keating determine
whether the proper fees were paid for the beautification, but has
not received a response to -date.
V/M Massaro further stated that the landscaping for duplexes was
not on -site in the swale areas, and did require a fee; with a side-
walk always requiring a fee, plus beautification of entrances.
The Vice -Mayor said there is a fee in the amount of $5,766.82 due
for subdivision improvements, to which Mr. Rubin concurred, and
said that he has the authority to submit a check to Council this
day, plus any other additional fees required by law. V/M Massaro
also indicated that the City Attorney has to review the area for
adequate protection to the City, without a bond for the sidewalks
and swales.
Mr. Rubin said that the site plan which was originally approved
by the City Council, always indicated a four (4) foot sidewalk
throughout the project.
V/M Massaro said that it was noted in the Letter of Credit, that
these improvements were included.
Mr. Birken felt there was nothing better than a bond, but the
City could be protected with a contract, whereby final inspections
or C.O.s would not be made, until the sod and sidewalks are put in.
He also stated there was another item which was not addressed, for
additional beautification, and monies that the Post Office was to
reimburse the developer.
V/M Massaro said those monies would not be reimbursed until the
subdivision improvements have been approved, with the Post Office
check being sent to the City.
Mr. Rubin read a particular paragraph in a letter from the Post
Office,_ gated 6/28/79, to the City, wherein the reimbursement
figure -was noted to be $11,587.40. He also said that the City of
Tamarac would be required to submit invoices, which Homeland Enter-
pri6es-wi.1l supply. Also, he noted that the City has to submit a
statement indicating that the street construction is completed,
to the satisfaction of the City.
Tape Mr. Rubin additionally stated that approximately 11 1/2 mos. previous
Side a Developers Agreement was entered into with the City, and felt
#8 that Council did realize that they have fulfilled their obligations.
C/M Disraelly then stated there would be no problem if Homeland
Enterprises gives the City a recordable document, which would in-
dicate installation of the sod and sidewalk for each home, before
requesting final inspection, and would be a condition of the C.O.
He also noted that when no more than 75% of the homes in the subdivi-
sion have received building permits, then all sidewalks and sodding
will be installed, after construction has taken place. And, he said,
under those circumstances, the City Council will approve the release
of the Subdivision improvement Bond with a Letter of Credit, subject
to 25% Maintenance and Performance Bond, deleting proviso 1.
Mr. Birken said that Temp. Reso. #1585 would be accepting the roads
by releasing the bond, also the other public improvements, which
refers to water and sewer lines. lie also said that acceptance of
the road could be handled by adding another section to the resolution.
The City Attorney recommended the following amendment; "The City
also accepts responsibility for,and maintenance of all public im-
provements on the property described in Exhibit "A", subject to

mr/
the posting of a bond or Letter of Credit, covering necessary work;
to be performed on said public improvements for a period of one
(1) year from this date. Not accepted at the present time are
the sidewalks and sod in swales and medians, which would be subject
to another agreement.
Mr. Sirken said that Temp. Reso. #1585 could be accepted "as is",
with another resolution being prepared for the recessed meeting of
4/14/80, in acceptance of public improvements.
C/M Disraelly MOVED that Temp. Reso. #1585 be approved, and C/W Kelch

day, and Temp. Reso. #1586, along with public improvements, could
be handled at the recessed meeting.

Mr. Rubin said that on Monday, April 14th, he will have the letter
prepared on the recordable document, stating compliance with the
sod and sidewalks, which will give additional protection to the
City.

items to be deleted, plus the agreement and payment to be handled
on Monday, 4/14/80. He then MOVED to table Temp. Reso. #1586 to
