Vickie Beech, Resident at 9102 NW 67 Court, had concerns
regarding recent rumors regarding the Tamarac Police
Department becoming a part of the Broward Sheriff's
Office (BSO). She said the rumors indicated that this
change would occur without being placed on Referendum.
She said as a taxpayer, she strongly objected to not
being able to vote on the matter.
Mayor Abramowitz said he received several telephone calls
regarding this matter. He said the conversations
indicated there were rumors that the City Council would
vote for a Broward Sheriff's Office takeover and the vote
was expected to be approved unanimously.
Mayor Abramowitz said there was a problem brought to the
City Council by City Manager Kelly. He said the City
Manager informed the City Council that the development
fees generated l million dollars less than expected. He
said there was a contract with the Police Department that
was $1,890,000.00 more than the previous year which did
not include the upcoming contract with the Fraternal
Order of Police (FOP) .

Mayor Abramowitz said the options were discussed;
however, to his knowledge, no one on the City Council
received information on the matter. He asked the City
Manager to submit options to the City Council and the
first option was to dramatically reduce the services. He
said he was opposed to the services being reduced in any
manner.
Mayor Abramowitz said he has not heard anything about the
Broward Sheriff's Office takeover; however, there were
residents informing each other that this matter would be
voted upon by the City Council this evening. He said he
listened to anything that would be beneficial to the
City; however, he has not heard anything about the
Broward Sheriff's Office takeover and, if there was
anything to report on the matter, the residents would be
informed.
Mayor Abramowitz said the City Council would not make a
decision on anything as important as this without
allowing the residents to share their concerns. He asked
that the residents learn the facts before making a
decision on the matter as opposed to making a decision
for political expediency.

City Attorney Doody read Temp,_ Ord. #1431 by title.
* C/M Rohr MOVED to APPROVE Temp Ord. #1431 on second reading,
* SECONDED by V/M Bender.
City Manager Kelly said he recommended this position be
approved because during his tenure with the City the most
frustrating and recurring problems involved the Code
Enforcement effort and a fragmented permitting process.
He said he recommended a similar proposal to the City
Council last year; however, he withdrew the proposal when
William Greenwood, previous Director of
Utilities/Engineering, resigned. He said he hoped that
the position could be filled by Mr. Greenwood because of
his skills and expertise.
City Manager Kelly said since that time, he was searching
for a suitable person for the position and, when he
advertised for the Assistant to the City Manager
position, he received several applications. He said one
of the applications was Steven Oxenhandler; however,
Approval of this Item was for establishing the position
only.
City Manager Kelly said the Chief Building Official's
salary for this year was Budgeted at $49,500.00; however,
the position was vacant from October 31, 1988 until
March, 1989. He said the Director of Development
Services would be paid $40,500.00 and he would begin on
April 17, 1989. He said for the balance of this Fiscal
Year there would be a savings of approximately
$22,000.00.
City Manager Kelly said there were two Assistant
positions in the Building Department; however, the
positions were vacant because one of the Assistants
became the Director and the other position was
Page 7
4/12/89
voluntarily downgraded to a Chief Plans Examiner to allow
the person to continue with school. He said the total
savings for this Fiscal Year because bf the change was
approximately $8,000.00. He strongly recommended that
this position be approved.
City Manager Kelly said there were many development
requests in the City which impacted several Departments.
He said the coordination of the permitting process by the
developer became very confusing and this position was
being made for one person to oversee the problems and
assist in expediting the permitting process. He said
expediting the process would allow the revenues to be
generated which were very much needed.
City Manager Kelly said the Code Enforcement problems had
to be corrected. He said this position was discussed
with the various Departments and it was agreed that the
position would save money and time in the future.
Mayor Abramowitz Opened the Public Hearing.
Vickie Beech, Resident, asked if Kelly Carpenter -Craft,
City Planner, would be directing the Community
Development Department and City Manager Kelly said Mrs.
Carpenter -Craft was the Director of the Community
Development Department; however, Mrs. Carpenter -Craft was
not directing the Building and Engineering Departments.
City Manager Kelly said this position would be overseeing
and coordinating the Departmental activities.
Irving Katz, Resident of Lakes of Carriage Hills, said he
approved of this position; however, the timing was not
appropriate if the credibility of the new Department
Heads was affected.
City Manager Kelly said he had more than full confidence
in the Department Heads. He said Dale Lee, Chief
Building Official, welcomed this position because the
position would be fully responsible for Code Enforcement.
He said Mrs. Carpenter -Craft would oversee the
activities of the Planning Department because she was the
professional Planner. He said Bob Foy, Director of
Utilities/Engineering, was very pleased that this
position was being created. He said there was a
consistent lack of communication between the Departments
because of the numerous steps in the permitting process.
Anthony Grimaldi, Resident of Sunflower/Heathgate, asked
if the duties of the position would include the person
visiting the specific areas under consideration and City
Manager Kelly replied, yes.
Mr. Grimaldi asked who would be supervised by this person
and City Manager Kelly said the entire Code Enforcement
Department would be this person's responsibility.
Mr. Grimaldi said the person should be contacting the
people directly on the outside and visiting the areas.
City Manager Kelly said this position would entail these
responsibilities.
Anthony Silvestri, Resident, asked if Mr. Oxenhandler
would be sitting as staff with the Planning Commission
and City Manager Kelly said Mrs. Carpenter -Craft was
Page 8

responsible for the Planning process. City Manager Kelly
said Mr. Oxenhandler would never challenge the City
Planner on her expertise; therefore, the Planning
Commission would be working directly with Mrs.
Carpenter -Craft.
Mayor Abramowitz said this position was being created to
assist the flow between the three Departments which was
lacking at this time. He said the duties of this
position would entail coordination of the Departments.
Larry Schneider, Resident of Lakes of Carriage Hills,
said he approved of this position and he asked if Mr.
Oxenhandler would assist as the City Prosecutor for the
Code Enforcement Board.
City Manager Kelly said it was the intention that Mr.
Oxenhandler would assist in limiting the need for a
Prosecutor at every Code Enforcement meeting.
TAPE 2
City Attorney Doody said the Administrative process could
be done by an Administrative person as opposed to hiring
an Attorney.
Morris Haber, Resident, suggested that the wage for this
position be used to hire another Attorney as opposed to
using the Consulting Attorneys which cost the City
approximately $160,000.00 this year.
City Attorney Doody said the Consulting Attorneys only
received $8,000.00 for this year, which was for labor,
prosecuting and administrative expenses.
Mayor Abramowitz Closed the Public Hearing with no
further response.

Vickie Ryan, Resident at 5908 Blue Beech Court, read her
concerns regarding a Special Tax District in the
Woodlands area. She submitted her concerns to the City
Attorney and asked that copies be forwarded to the City
Council. (SEE ATTACNMENT)
Mayor Abramowitz said an official request was made
regarding this matter. He said nothing was going to
occur until the City Attorney reported to the City
Council regarding the legal ramifications of the matter.
He said if the City received a legal request, the City
Council was duty bound to investigate the matter and come
to a determination. He asked the City Attorney to review
this matter and report back to the City Council with his
findings.
Mrs. Ryan asked when she could exspect an answer and City
Attorney Doody said he would review the matter as soon as
possible.
Robert Gutterm an, Resident at 5505 Banyan Lane, asked if
the residents could request this matter be passed by the
City Council without a majority vote by the residents.

Mayor Abramowitz said a small group of residents could
make a request to the. City Council; however, answers
could not be given until the City Attorney reviewed the
process.
Mary Seidel, Resident of Kings Point/Belfort, asked if
the City of Tamarac was supposed to comply with the
recent water rationing of Broward County.
C/M Hoffman said the South Florida Water Management
District was requiring a water ration east of Federal
Highway; therefore, the City of Tamarac was not required
to do so.
Mr. Seidel said the residents concerned about their
insurance should contact Tom Gallagher's office regarding
House Bill 865.
Irving Katz, Resident of Lakes of Carriage Hills, said he
was very privileged to participate in the Walk -A -Than for
the March Of Dimes; however, the City should have
assisted the walkers by having water and assistance at
each rest point. City Manager Kelly said this matter
would be reviewed for next year's walk -a -than.
Mel Reinow, Resident at 6305 NW 74 Avenue, Section 15,
had concerns with his cable rates being increased and he
asked if the City had a contract with the company. City
Manager Kelly said the City did not have a contract with
the company.
C/M Hoffman said the cable company worked on a franchise
with the City; however, the Federal Government took away
the rights of the Cities to control the rates. He said
the company had an exclusive franchise with the City;
however, no one asked for a franchise with the City.
City Manager Kelly said there were other companies
expressing their interest to provide competitive services
to the City; however, the services had to be provided
throughout the City as opposed to only certain sections.
Mayor Abramowitz asked Mr. Reinow what Section he resided
in and Mr. Reinow replied, Section 15.
Mayor Abramowitz said he understood that this Section was
not considered for the contract because there were not
enough people interested in receiving services.
C/M Stelzer said the reason the Section was not
considered was because there were too many people wanting
the services. He said there was 80% interested in the
service and the cable company did not feel that it would
be a benefit to provide an 80% bulk contract.
Mayor Abramowitz said he would discuss the possibility in
receiving a bulk contract with the appropriate agencies.
Sam Pizzarello, Resident at 2914 NW 48 Street, had
concerns with the ingress/egress at Tamarac Lakes South.
He said it was very dangerous during the hours of 7:30
A.M. to 9:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. He said the
residents could not get out of the development and he
asked if the City Council could assist the residents with
this problem.

Mayor Abramowitz said this request was given to the
Department of Transportation and, as soon as the City
received an answer on the matter, the residents would be
informed.
Ben Rossman, Resident at 5731 S. BayBerry Lane and
President of the Woodlands Homeowners Association, had
concerns with the Safe Neighborhood Act. He asked that
copies of the matter referred to by Victoria Ryan be
submitted to the Woodlands Homeowners Association.
Mr. Rossman said he informed every resident of Section 2
that it was determined that nothing would take place
regarding the Safe Neighborhood Act until there was
assurance that the majority of the residents of Woodlands
were interested in the Safe Neighborhood Act. He said he
spent the last year reviewing the Safe Neighborhood Act
and there was a criminal problem in Florida.
Mr. Rossman had concerns with the construction on the
premises located at 5809 Bamboo Circle. He said the
permit was for remodeling; however, for two years the
eyesore has been reported to the Code Enforcement
Department and nothing was done. He asked that the City
Council assist in correcting the matter.
Mayor Abramowitz asked that Mr. Rossman submit a written
letter to the City on this matter and he said Mr.
Oxenhandler may be able to assist the residents.
Henry Schumann, Resident of Section 9, asked for a report
regarding the progress of the Multi -Purpose Complex.
Mike Couzzo, Director of Public Works/Parks & Recreation,
said the School Board would be acting upon the Agreement
with the City tomorrow and as soon as the Agreement was
endorsed and sent to the State, the bidding process could
begin.
Mayor Abramowitz asked how long the Agreement was held by
the School Board and Mr. Couzzo said since December,
1988.
Morris Haber, Resident of Woodlands, had concerns with
the takeover of the Police Department by the Broward
Sheriff's Office. He said this matter was voted down
three times by the residents and he did not feel that
action should be taken by the City Council without a
Referendum.
Mayor Abramowitz said the rumor was that the matter was
to be acted on by the City Council at this meeting. He
said if information was received on this matter, the
residents would be notified.
Mr. Haber asked if the 911 system was installed and City
Manager Kelly said the system would be installed on May
15, 1989, at the earliest.
Irving Polk, Resident of Kings Point/Belfort, had
concerns with the recycling program for the Condominiums.
He said he heard there was a system for collecting
newspapers; however, it would cost approximately
$10,000.00 for the dumpster areas. He asked C/M Rohr to
report on this matter.
Page 11
4/12/89
TAPE 3
C/M Rohr said on July 1, 1989, the County is mandated to
have a recycling program available that would meet 30%
reduction in the trash flow; however, this did not mean
that the Cities were mandated to have a program. He said
the Cities were trying to create a recycling program;
however, there were obstacles.
C/M Rohr said there were five Cities interested in
combining their efforts to create a joint recycling
program. He said this matter was still being reviewed
and, as soon as there was a solution, the residents would
be informed. He said the residential areas were being
considered first because those areas were easier. He
said each condominium had to be reviewed separately to
determine the best program for that specific condominium.
C/M Hoffman said he wrote a letter to the County's
Resource Recovery Department regarding information about
the State's standards. He said the State required that
30% of the trash flow be taken out of the landfill
program and the materials be converted to useful matter.
He said the County was building two resource recovery
plants which would take more than 30% out of the refuse
stream. He said he asked the County to inform the City
if the requirements would satisfy the State so that the
pressures were not so great on the Cities to have a
recycling program.
REPORTS
6. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
C/M Stelzer suggested that he and V/M Bender be authorized
to visit certain areas of the City with dosimeter and
measure the emanations.
Mayor Abramowitz said it would be illegal for both V/M
Bender and C/M Stelzer to do this project together and
C/M Stelzer said it would not be illegal because it was
not going to be voted on by the City Council.
V/M Bender said he already did this type of study and he
would submit the information to C/M Stelzer for review.
C/M Stelzer said the information did not indicate what
homes were in danger and V/M Bender said he would give
the report to C/M Stelzer for review.
C/M Stelzer said in 1976, the Charter was rewritten and
the Charter Board's intent was to be the watchdog of the
City Council. He said the Charter Board placed a
provision in the Charter that the City could not spend
more than $75,000.00 or 2-1/2% of the current Budget.
C/M Stelzer said this provision has been used for 12
years. He said in 1983, the rate was changed to 1-1/2%
because the Budget increased; however, the rate was
changed back to 2-1/28. He said the Charter presently
indicated that the City must go to Referendum if 2-1/2%
of the "then current Budget" was to be spent on a
project.
C/M Stelzer said there were two Budgets in the City, one
being the General Fund and the other being the Utilities
Fund. He said there were questions in the prior years as
Page 12
4/12/89
to what the word "Budget" meant. He said there was a
Charter Review Committee in May, 1987t, and two members of
the Charter Board served on the Committee.
C/M Stelzer said it was suggested that "2-1/2% of the
General Fund Budget" be specified in the Charter and the
members of the Charter Board agreed to this amendment.
C/M Stelzer said the City Attorney was asked to research
this matter and late Friday, April 7, 1989, he was
notified that there would be a Special City Council
meeting held on Monday, April 10, 1989, concerning a
negotiated contract. He said he was not aware of the
contract until the meeting took place and no members of
the public were present.
C/M Stelzer said the City Attorney was asked to research
the matter and the City Attorney reviewed all of the
previous Charter Board minutes regarding the matter. He
said the City Attorney submitted the Charter Board
minutes to him which indicated that the City wanted to
include an amendment on the Ballot that the cost to the
City should be no more than 2-1/2% of current Budget. He
said the Charter Board did not approve this amendment and
it was not placed on the Ballot as recommended by the
City Council.
C/M Stelzer said the Charter Board Chairman indicated
that 2-1/2% should be calculated by using all of the
Budgets; however, there was no Motion made reflecting
this statement. He said the bottom of the Resolution
passed for the Amendment indicated that the words, "at a
cost to the City" was eliminated from the Charter. He
said there was no indication that all of the Budgets
would be used in determining the 2-1/2%.
C/M Stelzer said the City Attorney gave a recent opinion
to the City Council that the City could spend whatever it
wanted over 2-1/2% and include the Utilities Budget. He
said that opinion meant that the City could spend over 1
million dollars without going to Referendum.
C/M Stelzer said the City never included the Utilities
Budget for the calculation of 2-1/2%. He said the Code
indicated that construction of projects could not be done
in phases to sidestep the 2-1/2% limit; however, on
Monday, April 10, 1989, four members of the City Council
voted to spend over 1 million dollars to build baseball
fields at Tamarac Sports Complex.
C/M Stelzer said last year the Multi -Purpose Complex was
approved by Referendum. He said the Referendum indicated
that approximately 1.2 million dollars could be spent on
the Multi -Purpose Complex project. He said the contract
for the ballfields was approximately $526,000.00 and the
project was planned in three phases.
C/M Stelzer said the contract was awarded to Man -Con,
Inc., for major construction in the amount of
$526,000.00; however, the Public Works Department would
be spending approximately $380,000.00 for work to be done
In-house. He said eventually the total cost would be 1
million dollars and the City has committed themselves to
spend approximately 2 million dollars for recreation
facilities which was not available in the Recreation
Fund.
C/M Stelzer said there was a violation of the Charter by
Page 13
4/12/89
approving the contract for $526,000.00 without going to
Referendum. He said this matter should be investigated
further. r
Mayor Abramowitz said he never voted to spend over 1
million dollars and C/M Stelzer said he asked Mike
Couzzo, Director of Public Works/Parks & Recreation, how
much the project would cost. C/M Stelzer said Mr. Couzzo
indicated that the project would cost approximately 1
million dollars.
Mayor Abramowitz asked C/M Stelzer what amount the City
Council voted to spend and C/M Stelzer said he voted Nay
on $526,000.00 which was an excess of 2-1/2% of General
Fund Budget.
C/M Rohr asked City Attorney Doody to comment on this
matter because he did not want the residents to think
that the City Council was not aware of the facts.
City Attorney Doody said he understood the approval at
the April. 10, 1989 Special City Council meeting was for
$526,000.00. He said he was approached by the City's
staff to review the Charter amendment regarding what the
Charter required for Referendum.
City Attorney Doody said the Charter indicated that if
the City was going to spend an excess of 2-1/2% of the
then current Budget, a Referendum was required. He said
he reviewed the Minutes of the Charter Board which placed
this Referendum on the Ballot. He said the Minutes
reflected that the Chairman of the Charter Board stated
that the City Council requested to add language to the
Charter which indicated 2-1/2% of the General Fund. He
said the Charter Board voted to override the City
Council's request and the language in the Charter at this
time stated, "the current Budget".
City Attorney Doody said on the basis of this language,
he was of the opinion that the Charter was referring to
all of the Budgets. He said the language in the Charter
was clear and the Charter language would have to be
changed in order to get the interpretation being referred
to.
Mayor Abramowitz said the Charter Board overrode the City
Council's request to amend the amendment.
C/M Stelzer said "at a cost to the City" was the only
thing eliminated from the amendment.
City Attorney Doody said he disagreed. He said the
language suggested by the City Council was "of the
General Fund" and the sentence would have read,
"involving a cost to the City of the General Fund in
excess of 2-1/2%".
C/M Rohr said the City Council was to do work in the best
interest of the City. He said he looked at the City's
best interest as opposed to the analytical aspect of the
language. He said the recent approval was good for the
City and was needed in the City. He said when the City
Attorney informed the City Council of his legal
interpretation, he would listen to the City Attorney's
opinion.
C/M Rohr - No Report.

C/M Hoffman asked Kelly Carpenter -Craft, City Planner,
to report on the progress of the draft on the Sign

Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said the Sign Ordinance was prepared
before she became employed with the City. She said she
was not in a position to act on policing the Ordinance at
this time; however, she suggested that a Workshop meeting
be held on the third Wednesday of June, 1989, with the
Planning Commission.
V/M Bender - No Report.
Mayor Abramowitz reported that he just came back from
Tallahassee and he met with the Department of
Environmental Regulations regarding the Florida Power &
Light matter. He said the outcome of the meeting was
very good and there was a possibility that the City could
receive top legal representation at no cost to the City.
He said he would be discussing this matter further with
City Attorney Doody.
Mayor Abramowitz said he stressed his concern regarding
the financial impact to the residents if the Substation
was constructed in Land Section 7. He said the tax base
of the City would be harmed if the Substation was
approved.
Mayor Abramowitz said he attended the Broward
Appropriations meeting at which the additional
$350,000.00 for the Multi -Purpose Complex and $250,000.00
for the Xeri-Scape project were discussed. He said the
money was not approved; however, the Items would be on
the Agenda. He said the State Representatives indicated
that they would work very closely with the City on
upcoming projects.
Mayor Abramowitz said he discussed matters with Waste
Management, Inc., and they asked that the City Manager
contact them.
7. CITY MANAGER REPORT
City Manager Kelly reported that a Workshop meeting
was needed to consider a project review of the Municipal

C/M Stelzer asked if the verification of the Budget was
discussed with the Finance Director and City Manager
Kelly replied, yes. City Manager Kelly said he discussed
this matter after the Fire Chief presented the Item.
Ray Briant, Fire Chief, said the other Cities were
purchasing their pumps outright and the City of Tamarac
was buying the pumper through a lease/purchase. He said
the City of Pompano Beach presently had three
lease/purchase agreements with the same company and he
recommended approval.

City Manager Kelly said because of the City's financial
restrictions this lease/purchase agreement was in the
best interest of the City. He said the pumper would be
available to the Fire Department; however, payment was
not required. until October 1, 1990.
City Manager Kelly said the Finance Department expressed
concerns regarding the Item being Budgeted in this Fiscal
Year even though the funds would not be expended. He
said if the Item was not Budgeted this Fiscal Year it
would indicate during the Audit Report an over
expenditure in the Fire Department even though the funds
were not used. He said in order to offset this matter
this year's Budget could be Amended by Resolution. He
said this process was time consuming with minor expenses
and the only thing being accomplished by doing this was
delaying the transaction.
City Manager Kelly said the Finance Director indicated
that the technical way to handle this matter was to allow
the Audit to indicate an over expenditure this year even
though the funds were not being spent.
Mayor Abramowitz said when he first reviewed this matter
he was very concerned because of the financial state of
the City. He said the Fire Chief reminded him of the
fire at Sabal Palm which assisted in his decision that
the equipment was needed. He said if the equipment was
for the health and safety of the residents it should be
purchased.
V/M Bender said the documents indicated that there would
be 5 equal annual payments of $50,000.00. He said this
would be a payout in 5 years and Chief Briant agreed.
C/M Stelzer said the first lease payment was due October
1, 1990 and the City had the right to use the pumper
until October 1, 1990 without paying any money. He said
the lease could be cancelled at any time and he did not
understand why the Finance Director wanted the funds
placed in the Budget which would increase the ad valorem
by 20 cents. He said nothing should be Budgeted for
until the 1990/91 Budget and C/M Rohr agreed.
Mayor Abramowitz asked the City Manager to review this
matter further.

Bob Foy, Director of Utilities/Engineering, said two bids
were received on this Item and the low bid amounted to
$120.00 per tree. He said the trees would be cut to the
ground to avoid future costs in cutting the trees. He
said the trees had to be eliminated and he recommended
approval.
Mayor Abramowitz asked why the trees had to be eliminated
and Mr. Foy said there were electrical lines in the front
and side of the trees. Mr. Foy said the trees could blow
over onto the equipment in the plant.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if the power line was the respon-
sibility _ of Florida Power & Light and Mr. Foy said
the plant needed the power line to operate.
C/M Stelzer asked who was required to cut the tree away
from the power lines and Mr. Foy said Florida Power &
Light occasionally cut the trees away from other lines in
the City; however, this was never done at the plant.
C/M Hoffman asked why the bulldozer of the Public Works
Department could not be used to knock down the trees. He
said Australian Pines had very shallow roots and Mr. Foy
said the trees in the southwest corner of the plant were
between the power line and the building, the west
boundary line trees were adjacent to a single-family
dwelling and the north boundary line trees had buildings
and a canal. Mr. Foy said there were other concerns
besides eliminating the trees.
C/M Hoffman asked if Public Works reviewed this matter
and Mr. Foy said the Director of Public Works said the
matter could be handled In-house. He said the

presentation was delayed until the Public Works
Department reviewed the matter and it'Was decided that

Mayor Abramowitz asked if it would cost less to have the
trees cut by Florida Power & Light and have the project
rebid. Mr. Foy said having Florida Power & Light cut
some of the trees may make a difference in the price.

C/M Stelzer said he discussed this matter several times
with the City Manager and Public Works Director. He said
it may cost less if the City invested in a tree shredder
as opposed to contracting the project out.
City Manager Kelly said the liability of the project was
very high and he would recommend that this process be
used.
