Acting City Manager responded that this was the second time for bidding,
with a different parameter being considered previously. The Utilities
operation, she said, was bid the first time, but this was a day -time
operation which was attended at all times. Mrs. Stuurmans further
advised that the quantity will not be controlled, but the key is for a
means of recording the gasoline used in each vehicle.
The Council members concurred that this method would track the car
mileage and permit some control on gas consumption.
Hyman Fox said that gas pumps should not be open all night; also,
that a camera could be placed in the area, to take a photo of the
license number of the vehicle.
Don Perlman discussed monitoring of gas in the City of Margate, which
he was involved with.

amount of $4,846.50 net.
The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1894.
The Acting City Manager said it was staff's recommendation to award
a bid to Don Works Modernfold, in the amount of $4,846.50 net. She
advised that regardless of the..fact that the net bid was $146.50 higher
than the other bid which was received,but was more responsive to the
City's critical needs. She felt it would expedite some relief to the
City's space problems, and was the appropriate choice. It was further
noted by the Acting City Manager that payment would be made from the
City Hall Renovations Construction Fund for such procurement.
In response to a question by the Vice -Mayor, the Acting City Manager
stated that there will be no desks involved, but a telephone will be
installed.
V/M Disraelly MOVED for the ADOPTION of Temp. Reso. #1894, awarding
a bid to Don Works Modernfold, who is the lowest fully responsive and
responsible bidder, in the amount of $4,846.50 net. C/M Zemel SECONDED.
C/M Zemel felt this bid award was essential to the City's needs, and
would promote better management, and the division of the Chambers, as
required, for various meetings.
C/W Massaro did not approve the necessity for such an expenditure;
especially since plans are to be submitted by Mr. Shiff,as to construc-
ting a new Police Department building, where the City.Hall complex
would eventually be constructed. She did not advocate spending $5,000
for a partition that divides a room.
V/M Disraelly indicated that various workshops which are held in the
West Conference Room of the Council area, does disrupt the Consumer
Affairs Board, on a daily basis; and, also the Veterans Counseling
group, on Thursday mornings. He additionally felt this would create
a proper working atmosphere for the Council members, also, permitting
adequate space for the various committees.
Mayor Falck felt the expenditure will be justified for the period of
time it will be used.

Mr. Birken read Temp. Ord. #880, and recommended a correction to the
ordinance, on line 14, by striking out the words "mercury vapor";read--
ing a minimum of 4500 lumen lights.mounted on concrete poles.
V/M Disraelly said that discussion at the previous meeting resulted

Also, where subdivisions could be changed, all the lighting would be
from mercury to sodium vapor, with 4500 to 5800 lumens. Fie addi-
tionally stated that it was the City Attorney's recommendation to
not indlude the 5800 lumens in the ordinance. But, at the same time,
he said, it would not preclude installation of sodium vapor lighting
in new sections or areas.

31. Versailles Gardens (Colony Club) - Model Sales Facility -- Discussion
and possible action on a request to permit a model sales facility and
a waiver of the parking requirements. (tabled from 3/25/81).
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled to 5/13/81 meeting,
but recalled later in the day. (See page 10)
Jim Palermo, an Attorney, represented the developer, with an applica-
tion to permit a temporary sales office, on the conversion from Colony
Tape Club to Versaille Gardens condominium, for a period of six months.
#3
C/W Massaro said that she was not prepared to take action on this item,
especially since the City Engineer has not reviewed the report on
Versailles Gardens.
Mr. Palermo cited Florida Case Law, and indicated that based upon a
conversion in the Florida Statutes;als.o,simply changing the form of
ownership, without construction of additional buildings,.they should
be entitled to use of a sales office. He requested that Council permit
this sales office for a period of six months, in order to determine a
resident program, which might not be feasible. He further stated that
re -rental of units in this particular building would be discontinued,
thereby allowing eight (8) additional parking spaces.
In response to a question by V/M Disraelly, it was stated by Mr.Palermo
that Building 18 has 20 units, with 16 being occupied for rentals.
Mr. Birken advised that Council was provided with his memorandum of
--7- 4/22/81
mr/
2/26/81, with the Florida Statutes, a case referred to by Mr.Palermo,
and an article relating to condominium conversion, with the legal
requirements -attached. He said ownership of a complex or building
changing, cannot be the basis for different treatment, if the type
of ownership had remained the same. He further stated that Council
discussions should be legally based upon the merits of the application.
Mr. Birken said that Section 28-216, should and does properly apply
to condominium conversion; and whether such use is proper at the loca-
tion. The City Attorney informed Council there has been an office at
the present location, under rental conditions.
Mr. Palermo confirmed the fact of a rental office and model in this
area.
Mr. Birken said a question arises as to whether the use predates the
ordinance, because he is not aware of consent by Council, for such
use by the prior owners.
V/M Disraelly felt he would prefer adequate time to review the report
with the City Attorney; and for research as to the rental office and
model.area use.
Mr. Palermo advised the Council of an occupational license for use of
the offices, to which the Vice -Mayor said this would involve a question
of a business office in a residential area.

15. Summer Program - Recreation Department - Review, discussion and possible
action relating to this Program.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved, with exception of
the Tiny Tot Program, which is to be considered
at a future time.
Sharon Ellis, the Recreation Director, advised that a seven (7) week
program would begin on June 22nd, ending August 7th, 1981, with hours
from 8:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. She said the children were invited to
bring their lunch, and stay all day, for special events, arts and
crafts, plus sports. Mrs. Ellis said they were proposing a staff of
nine people.
Additionally, she said a new program concept was proposed from ages
3 to 5, to be called a "Tiny Tot program", for the younger children,
permitting relief for the mothers. She further stated they could
accommodate 90 children for two -week sessions, being encouraged to
either attend a morning or afternoon session.
C/M Zemel felt the Tiny Tot program could be very involved, due to
the age of the youngsters; and would require mothers to participate.
Mrs. Ellis indicated the present recreation groups were from completed
kindergarten groups to age 12. She noted the area for the Tiny Tots
would be in the portable at the south -end of Tamarac Elementary School.
She said that numerous calls have been coming in since February of
this year; also, requests for family programs, which would recognize
more than one child, with a special fee involved.
-8- 4/22/81
mr/
The Recreation Director said that special events are an option, and also
involve a burden for households with more than one child participating.
It was her feeling that the expected quota of 255 will be met this year.
Mrs. Ellis said there was a budgeted request for 12 staff members, but
this year's request would be for 9 members, with anticipated cooperation
by many mothers. She felt that they were able to accommodate up to 300
children; and, were also receiving calls from people who were willing to
pay the non --resident rate, from the Lauderhill area, just south of the
Public Works Department building.
Mrs. Ellis responded to a question by Mayor Falck, by stating that special
supervision was to be provided for Tiny Tots, with three staff people for
a maximum of 15 children at any one session. She further stated that
encouraging the parents to participate would not give adequate room in
the portable trailer.
C/W Massaro concurred with C/M Zemel, as to the Tiny Tot Program, by not
considering it at this time.
C/M Kravitz MOVED for APPROVAL of the summer recreation program, with the
exception of the Tiny Tots Program, to be considered at a future time.
C/W Massaro SECONDED.
C/M Zemel further stated that the Tiny Tot Program was excellent, and
Tape would help children to share experiences with others; but would urge a
#4 survey to be taken, instituting participation by the parents.

allow the City Manager to go to bid for improvements in this Park.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: City Manager authorized to
go to bid; with a request for a report to be
submitted from the City Manager or City Planner,
as to basis costs, prior to bid approval.
Mrs. Stuurmans said that Council was aware of approved funding for
Caporella Park, in the eastern portion of the City; also, that a bid
package was submitted for review.
V/M Disraelly confirmed the fact that it involves State funding, which
is 100g, to which C/W Massaro said she has not reviewed this information.
Mr. Birken said during the waiting period of bids, an addenda could be is-
sued to modify the specifications, which could be discussed at the next
meeting.
C/W Massaro said that she would like to be assured that the monies
would take care of the vital parts of the park; She felt that a state-
ment should be submitted, showing the costs of grading, landscaping and
the essential items, prior to fishing docks. It was her request that
such a report be submitted from either the City Manager or City Planner
as to the basic costs for the essential portions of this passive park,
prior to bid approval, for additional analyzing.

26. Colony West Golf Course - Discussion regarding an agreement for purchase
or lease by the City of the Executive Golf Course.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Committee to be established
to study the feasibility of a lease or purchase
of a City owned golf course.
C/M Kravitz advised that he spoke to Sid Workman, President of Property
Ventures, Inc., and requested submission of the last audit, in order to
determine income and expenses.for the golf course. He was informed that
it would be available within three (3) weeks.
V/M Disraelly indicated that the letter from Michael J. Salomone, dated
April 15, 1981, states that,"given the complicated nature of the financing
requirements for the Club, this proposal shall terminate forty --five (45)
days from the date of this letter". Because necessary information may
not be submitted for approximately 21 days, it would only allow a short
period of time for discussions and analysis, he said. Also, the Vice -
Mayor said approximately one year previous, a pro forma statement was
given to Council by Colony 'West, wiiicn" figures were iiut definite, as
computations were not broken-down between the two golf courses. He did
feel that such figures should be separated, and would like a longer period
for discussion and review.
C/W Massaro felt this proposal was the first step in writing, because
many of the golf course have gone into private ownership. She said the
-10-
4/22/81
mr/
City could give the residents golfing at a rate which is satisfactory
to everyone. She said that no decision could be made until final certi-
fied figures have been obtained. C/W Massaro indicated that she has
been involved in negotiating, and would like to Chair a Feasibility
Committee, for the analysis of figures, by people who are golf oriented
and financially schooled, and expert accountants. If, she said, the
time element is feasible, an extension could be requested. This Commit-
tee would have to work under the Sunshine Law at all times, with adver-
tised meetings.
V/M Disraelly and C/M Zemel concurred with the establishment of a Feasi-
bility Committee, with financial and accounting experts being involved.
C/M Zemel felt that a Council person should not Chair this Committee, but
be a liaison member,.stating there were many residents in the City who
have been Controllers and Certified Public Accounts. Also, individuals
who were related with the architectural and golf course businesses, would
be capable and willing to Chair such a Committee. He would approve a
member of Council being a liaison member to this Committee, with the
Chair person being a citizen of the City.
C/W Massaro said that reaching this point in time with obtaining a
lease or purchase of a golf course, has been quite difficult; and felt
that she could be the liaison person, and definitely a member of this
Committee. She was interested in having a golf course owned by the City,
which would permit accessibility by all concerned citizens, and become
a reality.
C/M Zemel MOVED that the City Council AUTHORIZE the immediate establish-
ment of a Committee to study the feasibility of the lease or purchase
of a City owned golf course facility. The Committee, he said, would
consist of a liaison member of Council, and three (3) members of the
public; with one member being, either actively or who has been actively,
a Certified Public Accountant. The selection of the other two (2) mem-
bers, he said, may be in other fields, as decided by Council; with all
appointments to be made by majority vote of Council.
V/M Disraelly requested an AMENDMENT to the MOTION, for a five (5)
member Committee, with one being a financial advisor, because a funding
structure would be involved.
C/M Zemel suggested that the amendment not be accepted at this time,
until a report has been submitted as to the Committee formation, and
the various individuals who are interested in being a member.
C/W Massaro SECONDED the MOTION.
S yd Bass felt that C/M Zemel's motion was proper, and did request that
C/W Massaro be considered for pursuit of this Committee, and Chair this
group; because, her motivation will definitely assist in the City obtain-
ing their own golf course.

3. Budget Amendment - Discussion and possible action to transfer funds from
the Chemicals Account to the Mains and Accessories Account.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved, as noted.
(See page 3)
Mrs. Stuurmans indicated that Steve Wood, the Finance Director, was at
the Utility Plant this day, but advised that while the City has become
accustomed to the encumbering and reserving of General Fund operations
or enterprise operations, it is not the encumbrance date, but the expense
date which affects the budget; which is the normal accounting practice.
She said that V/M Disraelly requested that a call be made to Bert Emmer,
in order to determine if the same system could be applied, from the General
Fund to the Utilities Operation, in the future. She further stated that
$2,635 was expensed against the current fiscal year budget of the Utility
operation. Mrs. Stuurmans said this does justify Mr. Keating's rationale
for needing the change.
V/M Disraelly said that he was not aware of this being handled differently
as to the funding and budget for the Utility. He did request that the
City Manager contact Mr. Emmer, of Alexander Grant, for a determination
of the proper method, with a table to be established for payment under
the old year, rather than carry it into the,mew year. But, he said, that
because it was handled in such a manner, for last year's funding, he would
be in agreement with the transfer of funds, in order to allocate them,
which is presently in a credit balance.
V/M Disraelly MOVED for APPROVAL of $4,000 from line item Account #425-
367-535-523 of the budget named Utilities West Wastewater Chemicals be
transferred to line item Account #425-364-533-464 named Utilities West
Water Treatment Mains and Accessories. The balance in the account from
the monies are transferred was $17,309.93 prior to the transfer, and
$13,309.93 subsequent to the transfer. The amount of money in the account
to which the monies are to be transferred was ($693.53) prior to the
transfer, and $3,306.47 subsequent to the transfer. He further requested

it is correct, but felt it was not proper procedure for the future.
V/M Disraelly said it has never come to Council's attention, because
there was never a credit balance.
C/W Massaro said that Mr. Emmer work under the same procedures that the
City is now operating under. She felt that it was riot feasible to have
monies spent, without budgeting, to which Council concurred.

17. Publication of Future Agendas - Discussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: City Manager authorized to
send letters relating to City Council and Planning
Commission Agenda availability.
Syd Bass referred to the Broward Times rescinding publication of the
City Council and Planning Commission Agendas, he felt the only route to
be taken was by mailing copies of the agenda, along with the Newsletter.
Mr. Bass, the Chairman of the P.I.C. Committee, further stated that this
Newsletter embraces discussions and actions of Council, to all leaders
of various subdivisions, and members of Committees. Dissemination of
information by the Legislative body of Tamarac, is through the submis-
sion of the Council Agenda, as well as the Newsletter.
Mrs. Stuurmans indicated that this item was placed on the Council agenda,
at the request of C/M Kravitz; with research in the cost of bulk -rate.
mailing versus the cost of advertising the Agenda and the P.I.C. News-
letter, is extremely prohibitive. She advised that the City Clerk and
she discussed, at staff level, the possibility of publishing a note,
which would indicate the meetings of the City Council and the Planning
Commission; with agendas being available on the Monday prior to the
meeting date. This, she said, would be a means of compliance with the
Sunshine Law regulations, and information.
Mrs. Stuurmans indicated there is the possibility of mailing, which is
the general procedure utilized by other cities, on a subscription basis;
with a"no-charge"to other governmental agencies and press services. But,
she said, there is a reservation to cost and utilization of current per-
sonnel, which is of some concern. Additionally, she stated, the City
Clerk's office has reduced the amount of mailing for the past few years,
and bulk -mail was not the proper .method.
Mrs. Stuurmans said it was their proposal that the meetings be "Noticed"
for City Council, Planning Commission, Beautification Committee and the
Board of Adjustment; with the agenda being available from the City Clerk's
office.
C/M Zemel felt consideration should be given to clubhouses, for the
posting of agendas, by notifying each of the community leaders, for
space to be designated on the bulletin boards. The Community Aides,
he said, would post these on the bulletins, plus other dissemination of
information,throughout the City.
Mrs. Stuurmans advised that outside of the news media, only paid subscrip-
tions of $15.00 each, are being mailed..currently.
C/W Massaro felt the agendas should be mailed to the Presidents of the
clubhouses, with the understanding that they post it on their bulletin
board. She also said that all the Chairmen of the various Committees
should have agendas mailed to them.
V/M Disraelly suggested a subscription basis of $15 or $20 per year, which
would include the agendas and a report from the Public Information Commit-
tee Chairman, which is the synopsis of action taken at both the City
-14- 4/22/81
mr/
Council and Planning Commission meetings.
volved, he said, if it was picked -up at the
would only be on a paid subscription basis.
There would be no cost in -
City Hall, but mailings
C/M Zemel recommended that letters be sent to the section Presidents,
advising that the cost has become prohibitive; that the agendas will be
available every other Monday, prior to Council or Planning Commission
meetings. Or, he said, as an alternative, a subscription is available
for the mailing of the agendas, to which Mayor Falck concurred.
V/M Disraelly MOVED that the City Manager be AUTHORIZED to send a letter
to each Condo Association, section, subdivision, and the various medias,
utilities, banks and business firms, indicating there will be an agenda
for the City Council and Planning Commission; together with a bi-weekly
report of Council action available to them, by subscription, at a fee
of $20.00, to cover the cost of mailing and handling. He further noted

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
27. Lakeside of Tamarac - Discussion and possible action on:
a) Site Plan
b) Plat - Temp. Reso. #1887
c) Landscape Plan
d) Water and Sewer Developers Agreement
(located on the west side of State Road 7 north of Commercial Plaza)
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: a) -Approved, with condi-
tions; b)--Approved; c)-Approved, as noted; RESOLUTION NO.R-�� gam, PASSED.
and d)-Approved, subject to appropriate fees
being paid.
Julian Bryan represented Lakeside, and indicated that the initial fee
was paid under the Water and Sewer Agreement, in September of 1980, at
Tape $130.00 per acre, for drainage improvements, but had difficulty finding
#G evidence of the check. He said the developer submitted a check for the
full amount, in lieu of deferring the park fees. Mr. Bryan further stated
that the developer submitted the site plan and plat for processing, prior
to enactment of the Land Development Ordinance, to the County. It was,
he said, approved approximately one month previous, with everything being
satisfied.
a) V/M Disraelly indicated that discussion was held at the previous
meeting, relating to the site plan, as to the right--of-way.
Mr. Bryan stated that the north property line was originally reflected,
but after discussion, a determination was made to not vacate the right-
of-way. This decision, he said, was based on not being necessary
from an acreage point of view, set --backs or open space.
V/M Disraelly confirmed the fact that the
with the dotted line becoming solid, and
line; also, the lake maintenance easement
site plan.

The City Engineer indicated there is a possibility of relieving
the problem with the Commercial Plaza Shopping Center, through
the public drainage facilities, that are in the right-of-way on
this project. He noted that the Plaza was built with an overflow
connection, and was approximately 80 feet from the intersection.
He additionally stated, that if it was necessary to construct facili-
ties for that project, then the bond amount might not be sufficient.
Mr. Keating also advised that 80 feet of storm drain lines,with an
overflow,was less expensive than the original plans to construct
the facilities that run to the Treehouse complex. He would prefer
that the developer indicate that he does not object to this overflow
connection into the right-of-way. The City Engineer said it is a
dedicated road right-of-way, with the outfall going into the private
lake.
C/W Massaro indicated that a flow -through easement was required for
Commercial Plaza, within the portion that goes through their property.
She further stated that retention cannot be private, unless they pay
for it.
Mr. Birken said it could be private, and is so designated, but could
be used for retention.
Mr. Bryan informed Council that they have not sought credit for the
recreation facility, for which they are paying $93,000. Also, they
did originally show this as a public body of water, with a mainten-
ance easement around it. But, it has been removed from the site
plan and plat, at the request of Mr. Keating, because of the size,
location and limited access;and,that it should be private. Ile further
noted that the HLR - Tract 36, has a private lake, because it is
wholly contained within the parcel, with retention.
Hugh Davis of Davis Associates, said that he discussed this with
Mr. Keating, and, as long as it is an overflow, it would not be a
problem.
Mr. Keating advised that it would be an overflow connection, as
designated by the South Florida Water Management District. The City
Engineer stated that when Commercial Plaza was built, their drainage
system terminated at a point 80 feet south, where a future road -tie
is indicated_ It was, he said, intended through the bond, to extend
it south and west, over to Treehouse, approximately 300 to 400 feet.
At this time, it was determined to only bring it 80 feet to the north,
and tie --it into a new catch basin, which will be constructed as part
of the Lakeside project. The easement will, he said, drain west to
the roadway into the lake, and then to the outfall on Commercial
Boulevard. He indicated that it was a percolating system in the City.
C/W Massaro said the retention area is required by the City, and
a covenant would have to be placed, in order for it to remain as a
retention area; that they cannot build on it, and will maintain it.
Mr. Bryan said that if Mr. Birken could draft it, they would approve
it, and attach it as Exhibit "A", to which C/W Massaro added that
a separate document has to be prepared for Commercial Plaza to permit
this overflow.
Mr. Bryan further stated that they had no problem with the overflow,
but would want to be certain of the language in the easement agree-
ment, as to location of the overflow, to which C/W Massaro said ap-
proval would be subject to furnishing of the document and additional
information.
V/M Disraelly MOVED for ACCEPTANCE of the site plan for Lakeside of
Tamarac, which was received 3/11/81., with the following conditions:
The removal of the words "15 foot right-of-way to be vacated on the
north", and the "20 foot lake maintenance easement" notation at the
west. Also, the stipulations that were discussed regarding the
drainage from Commercial Plaza through this property, will be pre-
pared by the City Attorney.
The City Attorney included the following language in the MOTION:
0=
4/22/81
mr/
That the Development Review criteria established in both the
Tamarac Land Use Element, the Broward County Land Use Plan and
Broward County Plat Ordinance, appeared to have been complied
with, as follows:
1. If payment for the one month of water and sewer, has not been
paid, that it be done;
2. If the units are not all C.O.'s at the time of expiration of
the City's garbage franchise, that it be conditioned upon entry
into a new contract for removal of garbage;
3. That it also be conditional upon the adequacy of the regional
transportation network, and determined by Broward County for
proper road dedication, access to trafficways, and the ability
of adjacent roadways to maintain levels of service "D"; and
4. Subject to a covenant being prepared and placed on the property,
showing retention areas to remain as water bodies, and that the
unit owners will be responsible for such areas.

adjacent to Lakeside Drive; plus two additional trees at the turn -in
to the guest parking. He then MOVED the ACCEPTANCE of the Landscape
Plan, and C/W Massaro SECONDED.
C/W Massaro inquired about the water being rust -free; and whether
it was their intent to use the water from the lake, or sink a well,
to which Mr. Bryan felt it would be better to draw from the lake,
as it would create movement and circulation in the body of water.

V/M Disraelly indicated receipt of correspondence, dating back to
February 1980; which related to the median situation, with various
responses from the Burger King Corp.
He noted that a memorandum from Ralph Thissen advised that it would
cost approximately $325 to median -cut 73rd Avenue, with asphalt paving,

mr/
of the lines and the outfall; also, structures being uncovered, that
were paved -over previously. He requested that manhole covers be in-
stalled, in order to permit easier maintenance in the future.
Mr. Keating said that in order to pump the system dry, it was necessary
to rent one for that purpose; and, he further requested that Council
Tape authorize expenditure of certain monies from the Drainage Fund, to
#7 cover the City's expenses. Additionally, he said, an end -wall would
have to be built, at the outfall location, for a particular system, to
insure future silting. This area was located behind the recreation
area complex in Sunflower, and the expenditure would not exceed $5,000,
in order to cover current costs and other unanticipated problems.
The City Engineer indicated that new construction is being delayed in
the area, until each and every pipe has been cleaned; and then check
the system, under those conditions.
C/M Zemel suggested that Westwood 5 and 6 be checked, in the area where
the new conduit work for drainage was accomplished, as to the concrete
and blocks that may have been put in the catch basins,to which the
City Engineer responded that the contractor was required to clean this.
He also advised that in older areas of Sections 23 and 24 the valley
gutters were sinking, to which Mr. Keating responded that he would have
it investigated.
Mayor Falck suggested the shared purchase of equipment with other cities,
where specialty items are needed on occasion, to which the City Engineer
indicated that equipment is borrowed from other cities, where necessary,
prior to leasing.

to -date, which should be itemized and factual; with the cleaning of
