/pm
The City Manager referred to her memo to Council dated 4/12/83 (See
Attachments 1, 2 and 3). She said she would like to briefly highlight
portions of his resume for the record and' for benefit of the public.
She said Mr. Stevens was a department head, City of Wilton Manors, and
was responsible for their Building and Zoning Department. She said,
prior to that, he served on the Wilton Manors City Council, which would
be helpful for his appreciation of the very broad spectrum of municipal
concerns. She said he holds a Bachelor of Construction degree from the
University of Florida, has been actively involved in Florida building
and zoning affairs. She said he holds a certification as Professional
Code Administrator, he is a certified general contractor in the State
of Florida and he is a certified commercial pool contractor. He has
served on the Broward County 201 Committees, the Broward County Outdoor
Advisory Committee to revise the County Sign Ordinance and has been
involved in the Governor's Commission on Criminal Justice and its codes.
The City Manager said he is currently on the State Board of Florida Plan-
ning and Zoning and he is Director of Broward County Girl Scout Council,
Inc. His elective course work during his schooling involved Accounting,
Business Law, Economics and Real Estate. She said Mr. Stevens described
himself as thick-skinned with a good sense of humor and she felt this
would be helpful in his duties for the City of Tamarac and she urged
Council to approve her proposed motion to approve Mr. Stevens' employment.
C/M Krantz asked Mr. Stevens how recently he was a member of the Wilton
Manors Council and Mr. Stevens answered he resigned in 1979 and was a
member of Council for five years. C/M Kravitz asked if there was a
friend of Mr. Steven's in the Tamarac Administration and Mr. Steven's
said there is an employee with the City who was an employee with the
City of Wilton Manors, namely, Steve Wood, Finance Director. Mr.
Stevens said his building experience goes back almost thirty years
includina construction experience in Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania in
building restaurants, mobile home parks, housing developments, land
development., churches, banks, warehouses and shopping centers.
C/M Kravitz said that according to newspaper accounts, Mr. Stevens
encountered some difficulties with certain people in Wilton Manors.
He asked Mr. Stevens if he felt he would be able to manage a staff
in Tamarac in the capacity of the Chief Building Official. Mr. Stevens
said the people in the Building Department are very professional and
he does not foresee any problems.
V/M Massaro MOVED to APPROVE the employment of Samuel Stevens as
Director of Building and Community Development Departments, including
service as Acting Chief Building Official through 5/31/83 and as Chief
Building Official thereafter. Starting compensation of $36,471.77 and
Mr. Stevens is to serve in a probationary status for a period of one
year commencing 4/18/83. SECONDED by C/M Krantz.
C/M Stelzer questioned whether Mr. Stevens'previous employment problems
were comparable to the problems the City encountered with Mr. Miller.
The City Manager said the City has an agreement with Mr. Miller which
has been sealed and confirmed by Council and she would not, because of
the language of that agreement, go into the specific terms. She assured
C/M Stelzer that the circumstances involving Mr. Miller were different
than Mr. Stevens' circumstances. She said the newspaper report, which
C/M Stelzer referred to, was information from a subordinate of Mr. Stelzer
and, in order to get a clearer picture of the facts, she spoke to Mr.
Stevens' peers and persons to whom he had to report.
The City Manager said Mr. Stevens warned her there were those who would
speak against him but she spoke to the Mayor of Wilton Manors, the former
Administrator, who is now the Assistant to the Mayor, the City Manager
and the CBO of Oakland Park, who had taken over the Building Department
of Wilton Manors, all of whom speak highly of Kr. Stevens.

46. PIC Re -port - Discussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Agendized by Consent.
(See Page 1). Report given by members of PIC.
Dr. Murray Greenberg, photographer for the PIC said he objects to the criticisms
of the PIC by a few people. He said he feels his endeavors in the PIC have always
been equated with education, entertainment and intelligent information, always with
the intent for the betterment of the City.
Shirley Blumfield, Cochairman of the PIC addressed herself to the two
reporters present, Keith Epstein and Rocky Moretti. She chastised them
for their criticisms in the press of the performance of the PIC in
presenting the audio/visual program on China.
Sydney Bass, Chairman of the PIC said the PIC was created six years ago
to help counteract the bad press the City inherited from the developers.
He said the PIC,performed admirably and produced booklets, brochures,
maps, press releases, audio/visual programs and published a bi-monthly
newsletter to serve the citizens of Tamarac. He said PIC communications
kept the citizens informed regarding City affairs. He said the accomplish-
ments of the administration are, evidently, not newsworthy. He said the

City has a great park system, owns their own water and sewage treatment
utilities, there is a splendid Social Service facility, an
excellent Cnnsumpr Affairs operation, an intelligent Land
Use Plan, one of the most effective juvenile crime control
programs, Tamarac is one of the few cities in Broward that sponsors
a Police Athletic League. Tamarac has a highly effective medical
rescue team comprising the City's Police and Fire Department Rescue
Units and an emergency rescue unit stationed in Tamarac. He said
despite all of these remarkable accomplishments, the press never
publicizes these.
Mr. Bass said it is Council's decision to either continue or discontinue
the PIC and he asked if they decide to maintain it, they allow them to
produce projects that will be of value to the Broward County school
children and the citizens.
C/M Krantz said for the record that the audio/visual presentation on
China that was shown by the PIC in over 70 clubhouses throughout
Tamarac, has received a letter of commendation from the State Education
Tape and Tamarac was the only City so honored throughout the State. V/M
3 Massaro said most surrounding cities spend thousands of dollars for
consultants and Tamarac, through their various Boards and Committees,
is at the bottom of this list in costs to the City because of dedicated
volunteers.
C/M Kravitz said he felt this report contained more criticism than
information. Mayor Falck left the meeting at 11:45. Sydney Stein,
Charter Board Chairman said he resents any statement made by a single
individual concerning i-aboilishing the PIC. He said they only invited
them to the next C-harter Board meeting to discuss the duties and purpose
of the PIC. C/M Stelzer said comments made concerning the reporters
should have been directed to the editor of their newspapers and not at
a City Council meeting.
V/M Massaro said she -would like the City Attorney to issue a memo to
Council as to the legality of the PIC showing this audio/visual present-
ation. She said if it is legal it is up to Council to make the determin-
ation as to whether or not this may be shown. Hyman Fox, resident, said
he has not seen anything by the PIC and Council advised him that each
Section President receives a copy of the newsletter twice a month.

that there be no additional building permits given. He said the City

picnic tables.
V/M Massaro said she opposes the purchase of the split -rail cypress
fence since there was one there at one time and I is no longer there.
She said this should be reconsidered since it is an item of $1,328,
however, the entrance sign is a good recommendation. She said the
expenditure of $1,370 for two wooden picnic tables is too much since
they are easily destroyed and difficult to maintain. She said most
facilities of this type have concrete or concrete with tile tops and
she suggested this be investigated further.
V/M Massaro MOVED to APPROVE the sign only and TABLE the other two items
for more information, C/M Kravitz said he understands that this expend-
iture was already approved and they are only asking now to draw on the

funds. The City Manager said Item 1, with respect to the fencing was
approved by Council back in 9/82 but she was uncertain as to whether
the style of fencing was discussed. She said, from the standpoint of
aesthetics she would like to see Council approve the split -rail fencing
but she said they will evaluate the difference. She said the picnic
tables were approved at an expenditure level of $500 and the new
figure of $1,300 is much higher and needs reviewing.
V/M Massaro said she feels that the City Attorney's name should be part
of that sign as well and she included this as part of her MOTION,
SECONDED by C/M Krantz. Laura Stuurmans said purchase will be made with
Parks and Recreation Fund monies.

conditions.
Jon Henning read the Resolution by title and Richard Rubin said Mr.
Riefs requested a new type of building design on the property due to
the change in the market conditions. He said the first change is
located at the northeast corner of Tract K adjacent to Westwood Blvd.
and McNab Rd. and the second change in design is located at the south
property line where the canal abuts Westwood Blvd. He said the total
amount of the units is the same and they have exactly the right amount
of parking. He said the Planning Commission questioned the location
of sidewalks to enable people to walk from each building and there is
one sidewalk in that development that is existing opposite Building B.
Mr. Rubin said there is another existing where Building C has the walkway
to the parking lot. He said those sidewalks are concrete and are 3'
wide and the Planning Commission felt a minimum size of the sidewalk
should be 4'. He said Mr. Riefs reminded them that this project had
already been approved with 3' s.idewalks, the underground improvements
had been installed based upon the 3' and if another foot of concrete
were put over this, it would fall on top of a water line and be difficult
to repair in the future.
Mr. Rubin said there has been a compromise proposed by V/M Massaro and
agreed'to by the applicant. V/M Massaro MOVED:
1. That all future internal or meandering sidewalks will be 3' wide
unless specifically shown on the revised site plan to be 4'
2. All walks are to be concrete, no asphalt walks will be permitted

24. Woodmont Tract 72B - Lots 10 and 11 - Discussion and possible
ion concerning the appropriate action to be taken regarding
arrears in guaranteed revenue payments (tabled from 3/23/83).
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED with
conditions.
Jon Henning referred to a memo which he copied to Council concerning
whether all the guaranteed revenues for Montwood, Inc. were paid on
Tract 72B. He said there are 36 single lots on Tract 72B for single
family homes and, since this is not a multi -family development, there
is not a recreation parcel involved. He said all of these lots had
one I -later & Sewer Agreement with � the City since 1980, and
after the Water & Sewer Agreement was signed, all 36 lots were sold
to Timber Point. He said Timber Point gave back 26 of those lots to
Montwood, Inc. and after a year, the situation was that there were
26 lots belonging to Montwood and 10 lots belonging to Timber Point.
Mr. Henning said once a house is built, a meter is built and an account
is opened, the guaranteed revenues cease and there is no problem
collecting on that particular ERC. He said there has been no problem
with the 26 lots of Montwood but only with the 10 lots which are owned
by Timber Point. He said eight of those lots have houses on them and
there has been a problem collecting the guaranteec revenues of approx-
imately $240 delinquent on Lots 10 and 11.
Mr. Henning said he has rewritten and drafted some form letters for
Notice of Default with the Finance Department and these have been
sent with the invoices in the last several months. He said several
of these have been documented and received by certified mail by the
owner of Timber Point and, in light of his failure to make his payment,
hesent him a letter advising him that if they wish to ever develop
this they will have to set up a new Water & Sewer Agreement for those
two 1 o ts
Mr. Henning said he could make overtures to the Montwood people to
separate these two Water & Sewer Agreements to have a separate one for
the i-,iontwood portion. He said the delinquent lots have been severed
and defaulted and the ERCs have been revoked for those lots. V/M
Massaro said when the new people would want to execute an agreement,
they would have to pay the City $1,500 per ERC. Jon Henning said he
should be directed to prepare for Council approval a separate Water
and Sewer Agreement for the 26 ERCs owned by Montwood, Inc. at Woodmont
Tract 72B. V/M Massaro said developers who were not in default should
havo a contract for $1,000/ERC but those in default should pay $1,500/
ERC when they come in for service.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Agendized by Consent.
Williams, Hatfield & Stoner was authorized
to prepare bid specs for work to be completed
according to a grant approved by the State, City and County.
The City Manager asked Council to agendize by consent authorization
for Williams, Hatfield & Stoner to do the bid spec work on the three
items for Cypress Creek Commons Park, Phase II improvements. She said
this was tabled from the last Council meeting because of a question
concerning lighting. She said the City has indicated in their Grant
package to the State that they will include lighting. She said if
they determine that the lighting costs are greater thaft what the City
should pay or beyond the amount that was requested in the Grant monies,
at that time the City could make an amendment to the Grant application
and leave the lights out. She said the lights would not be a signifi-
cant factor to Williams, Hatfield & Stoner's work but the City does
need those pertinent engineering items relating to the boat docks and
the paving.

and possible action to establish a moratorium on developments
in Land Section 7 designated as "Industrial" on Tamarac's Land
Use Plan for a specific period of time until the completion of
the Industrial Planning Study. First Reading.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED on
T-11-r—st reading.
Jon Henning read the Ordinance by title and Mayor Falck opened the
public hearing. Sanford B. Roberts, property owner said he objects
to the City placing a moratorium on industrial land in Land Section
7. He said there is no one requesting to build there at this time and
he feels a moratorium would be unnecessary.
Bruce Frpedman, representative of Tralins and Potash on behalf of
Leadership Housing, owners of a portion of Section 7 said he
agrees with the statement by Mr. Roberts that any moratorium on this
property at this time is inappropriate. He said they have not applied
for any zoning at this time, nor do they plan to apply in the.very near
future. He said with a moratorium placed on the property, the property
could not be sold and would be of no use at all. He said they have the
sludge farm lease on the property with the City of Tamarac, which was
entered into in good faith for the purposes of aiding the City.
Mr. Freedman said Leadership Housing feels that any moratorium on the
property would be unnecessary. He said the City would be completely
involved should Leadership Housing desire to build on this property.
Charles Cash, resident of the Isles of Tamarac said he attended a
meeting in the Chambers about 5 weeks ago in which there was an
applicant requesting to change the zoning to Industrial. He said
this property should be used for other than industrial since surrounding
towns have more facilities for this purpose and he is in favor of the
moratorium.
Harriet Norden, resident, asked that Council think of the residents and
change the Land Use Plan to exclude an Industrial Park. Harold H.
Newman, representative of the Concerned Citizens of Tamarac, Inc.
questioned why Leadership would conduct surveys if they have no plans
for this property. Mr. Newman said there is room beyond Visual/Graphics
for Industrial zoning but should not be considered near residential
housing and he recommended the moratorium be placed on this property.
David Silverglide, Vice President of the Board of Directors of the
Isles of Tamarac Homeowners Association said it has been in the news-
papers recently that Leadership Housing has threatened the City that
they will remove their sludge contract which will cost the City additional
funds. He requested Council adopt the moratorium at,the present time
on behalf of the people of the Isles of Tamarac. Milt'Siegel, President
of the Isles of Tamarac Association said Sunrise is building a large
industrial complex and Tamarac should study the outcome of this. He
asked if the people of his area could be present at any Workshop sessions
held on this item.
James J. Ephraim, resident and member of the Committee appointed by the
Presidents Council to review and report to them on this'item said
he is also the Chairman of the Community Action Committee of the Isles
of Tamarac and he referred to newspaper reports on this item. He
referred to the threat by Myles Tralins, attorney for Leadership
Housing, which states that if the moratorium is approved, the City will
have to dispose of its sludge elsewhere. He referred to newspaper
reports of the City's response: the City Engineer said there is no room
for the sludge at the County -owned facility, therefore, the City would
have to go the costly route of having a private firm dispose of the
sludge if Leadership Housing makes good their threat.
- 19 - 4/13/83
/pm
Mr. Ephraim said the City Engineer said the Agreement between the City
and Leadership Housing for the use of 24 acres has a 30 day cancellation
clause, therefore, the City could find itself without a place to dump
sludge by May. He said the City Manager said the City pays approximately
$9,000 for the use of Leadership Housing's 24 acres upon which they dump
the sludge and private dumping would cost approximately $95,000 annually.
He said the newspaper said V/M Massaro said she would ask for a tabling
action on the moratorium because she does not feel Council has had enough
time to study it. He urged Council to vote in favor of the moratorium.
Mayor Falck closed the public hearing with no further response and
Richard Rubin, Consultant City Planner said since January there have
been several opportunities to meet with the homeowners surrounding Land
Section 7 and hold a public hearing with the Planning Commission regard-
ing a proposed moratorium. He said there appears to be three specific
questions that have been addressed:
1. How much land should be set aside for industry in the City.
2. Access. He said there have been some comments from people
that own land there that would like access to the north
residential areas. He said the City has been on record, since 1977,
that it would never allow industrial access to McNab Rd. and the
intent from the beginning was that the access to the property would
be off of Commercial Blvd.
3. Restrictions. He said the type of industries coming
into South Florida are electronic, etc. an'd are not the pollutant -
type. He said Council would prevent that type of development in
Tamarac.
Mr. Rubin said his recommendations are that if a moratorium were given
to study these three areas, he is confident they could have some adequate
controls that would provide some industrial development in the City and,
at the same time, protect the adjacent residents. C/M Kravitz asked how
much time the City Planner estimated would be needed to answer these
questions. Mr. Rubin said if they could pet cooperation from the
landowners and authorization from the City to proceed, he could, with
the help of the City Engineer and Consultant Engineers within a
period of 2 to 3 months have specific recommendations. However, he said,
if one of the recommendations relates to a Land Use amendment due to the
County's Land Use Plan requirement, it would take up to another year to
obtain those amendments.
V/M Massaro said she can see no way this could be done within 2 to 3
months. She said it has always been discussed that this area would be
surrounded with multi -family housing so that it would be a buffer from
the residential area and at no time was there any intent to allow any
of this industrial area to empty onto McNab Rd. She said the City
has not been negligent in not preparing for a sludge area other than this
one knowing there is a 30 day clause since the only preparation that could
be made is the one that would be forced upon the City and that is to
truck it a great distance with the conservative figure of $95,000 a year.
She said the City has been hopeful that the City would not have to think
about a sludge farm since possibly Tamarac may be connected into the 201
Program and the County would handle the sewerage retreating.
V/M Massaro said she feels the City needs a period of 6 months to determine
what can be done, to work with the developers and to reach conclusions
that are acceptable to everyone. She said the fact that the developer
has met with Williams, Hatfield & Stoner to discuss this is imperative
since drainage, canals, roads.and improvements must all be considered.
She recommended that the moratorium be considered for not more than 6
months,but at the present time,she suggested tabling this item to the
second meeting in May so that discussions can be had with staff and
engineers to determine solutions. She said the public hearing could be
continued, discussions could be heard and it could be determined what
the moratorium would have to be in order to accomplish whatever is being
p 1 a n n e d .

Tape C/M Kravitz MOVED to ADOPT 1_�m
�_._Ord. #1020 on first reading, which
7 establishes a moratorium on Land Section 7 designated as "Industrial"
on Tamarac's Land Use Plan for a specific period up to one year so that
Council may receive a full report, and at that time, reconsider whether
that moratorium should continue or another consideration should be given.
The MOTION died for want of a SECOND.
C/M Stelzer said he made a statement which appeared in the newspaper that
if it were a clean industry he did not think the people would complain.
However, he said ' the people have complained and he knows what he is
going to do. C/M Krantz said he made a trip with the City Planner and
the Planning Commission to the Sunrise Industrial Park which is located
approximately a mile and a half from the projected land under discussion.
He questioned if there were a need or urgency for industry in Tamarac
since there are sufficient industrial areas in towns surrounding this
City. C/M Krantz said it is his proposal that Council concur with the
recommendation of the Planning Commission, and he MOVED to APPROVE Temp_.
Ord. #1020 on first reading establishing a moratorium for fifteen months.
SECONDED by C/M Stelzer.
Jon Henning said he hoped the audience is more enlightened on this sub-
ject. He said Council has not decided what to do with this land and
this is the purpose of the study. He said the question of whether or
not residents want industry in Tamarac has already been decided but the
question,is just how much industry. He said if the industry were in
the City, the Council could control the development of any industry and
would not have to rely on the good graces of a neighbor City to control
their industry with a buffer that they might build. He said Council
should keep an open mind as to how much industry, if any, it might wish
to put in this area in question.
Mr. Henning said on the west side, the Saw Grass Expressway or Parkway is
apparently inevitable in the future. He said there is little likelihood
of putting single family homes abutting 1-95. He said there have been
many delays with the 201 Project and the problem of the sludge removal
is real. He advised the Council to move forward in its planning regard-
less of whether or not this Ordinance is passed. V/M Massaro said it
is most important that this item be tabled to the second meeting in May
to consider what is being done so that there is not a problem created
that will be difficult to live with. She MOVED that this be TABLED to
the second meeting in May, at which time a definite decision can be
made. The MOTION died for want of a SECOND.
C/M Krantz said the moratorium of fifteen months will give the City a
chance to study and research this further. The vote was taken on C/M

From* Laura Z. Stuurmans, City Man;
Dote: April 12, 1983
Subject: RECOMMENDATION FOR CONFIRMATION OF EMPLOYMENT
Reference. SAMUEL STEVENS, AS DIRECTOR OF BUILDING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENTS
This memo will serve to request and recommend your approval of the
employment of Samuel Stevens, as Director of the Building and Com-
munity Development Departments, inclusive of the responsibilities
and duties of Acting Chief Building Official through May 31, 1983,
and Chief Building Official effective June 1, 1983. A starting
salary of $36,471.77 was negotiated and agreed to by Mr. Stevens,
and he has been advised that he will be required to serve in proba-
tionary status for a period of one year from date of hire. Mr.Stevens
has arranged his affairs to be available to commence his employment
for the City of Tamarac on Monday, April 18th.
The criteria used to review applicants for this position and reach
a final selection were:
1) Eligibility for Certification as a chief building
official by the Broward County Board of Rules and
Appeals.
2) Prior municipal experience in an administrative
capacity.
3) Prior experience in a responsible management capacity
in the private sector.
4) Educational background and other professional pursuits.
While there were many applicants with certain of these credentials,
Mr. Stevens' work experience and background met all the essential
elements of my search. Additionally, Mr. Stevens' knowledge of
zoning and planning principals affords an opportunity to merge the
administration of the Building and Community Development Departments
under the directorship of a full-time member of the City staff. Our
Consultant City Planner's workload has become increasingly heavy with
a variety of functions, including routine planning and zoning details.

Ref: SAMUEL STEVENS
Date: April 12, 1983
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Many of those routine affairs can be transitioned to the new Director,
allowing Mr. Rubin to focus his efforts on the major planning and
development issues, coming before the City. The merger of the two
departments by the employment of an individual with the appropriate
background and qualifications also provides a greater degree of
management accountability for the execution of the duties of these
respective City operations.
*Mr. Stevens' resume is attached for your perusal. You will note he
has had municipal experience, as an elected official initially and
later as an administrative officer. His many years of residency and
resultant participation in the civic and political affairs of Wilton
Manors,will lend to his Tamarac tenure an appreciation of the broad
spectrum of municipal concerns and will enhance his perspective of
the important inter -relation of City departmental functions and goals.
It should be pointed out that Mr. Stevens' past and current interest
in his municipality has exposed him at times to criticisms from polit-
ical opponents, a fact of life public figures must endure. He indi-
cated candidly to me at our first interview that his long time activism
in Wilton Manors affairs made for a difficult working environment with
newly elected officials and certain of their supporters within the City
last year. He then volunteered his resignation (and from information
I have obtained in a professional and gentlemanly fashion) and returned
to work in the private sector. He is keenly interested in applying his
experience to work within the public sector and thus, applied for the
opening with Tamarac.
Prior to formulating my decision I contacted the following individuals,
and each spoke favorably of Mr. Stevens' past performance and abilities:
Mayor Jim Maurer, Wilton Manors, Tracy Stafford, former administrator
of Wilton Manors, currently employed as assistant to Mayor Cippolini of
Lauderhill, City Manager John Stunson and Chief Building Official Russ
Adams of Oakland Park, which contracted responsibility.for Wilton Manors
building functions after Mr. Stevens resigned last year. Mr. Stevens
also offered the name of Gerald Thompson as a reference, both personal
and professional. Further, he has enjoyed successful past professional
relations with Lee Hatfield and Walter Keller, prominent and respected
engineers with major Broward County firms.
It is my opinion that Mr. Stevens' possesses the experience, credentials,
and professional references for employment to this important City post.
These elements support his potential to succeed during his probationary
period and provide strong and stable leadership to the Building and
Community Development Department for the future.
* Mr. Steven's resume is in the Personnel Office.
