Council send this to the Planning Commission for consideration as
to what is an appropriate zoning. She said this is zoned B-1
which requires 200 feet and there is not that amount there.
V/M Stein said he does not feel this should be agendized since the
Board of Adjustment is a duly constituted Board and any variance
of this kind should be handled by them. He said if they Deny this
and the person involved wishes to appeal, they may. He said
Council does not have the right to interfere in this. C/W Massaro

22. 201 Plan - Report by the City Engineer/Utilities Director -
Discussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
Authorization was given to
execute a modified agreement
with Deerfield Beach and enter
into an agreement with the
County for additional capacity
and finalize total gallons needed
for entrance into the 201 Program.
Mr. Ruf said the agreement with Pompano Beach has been finalized
and there is a proposed lease agreement before Council for leasing
of one M.G.D. of treatment and transmission capacity already
signed by the Mayor and City Manager of Deerfield Beach. He said
the only change that was made in this lease from the one that
Tamarac proposed is that they have definitely set the right in the
lessor, that is, Deerfield Beach, to terminate the lease as of
12/31/91. He said he does not see that as a significant change
from what he has suggested.
Mr. Ruf said the Resolution Council earlier passed, which gives
the appropriate City officials the right to execute the lease
agreements, affect this lease with Deerfield Beach and no further
action is necessary.
Mr. Ruf said with respect to the lease agreement provided by
Broward County, there was a significant change which was not a
part of a negotiation session had by him and other members of the
City staff, General Counsel's office and the County.
Mr. Ruf said he sent Council a memo questioning the need for
Tamarac to pay approximately $7,000.00 per month for additional
transmission capacity. He said after this memo was dictated, he
had lengthy conversations with the Utilities Director and the
County officials and he now receded from his position for the
following reasons:
(The following is a partial Verbatim Transcript on this item as
requested by C/M Stelzer.)

5/14/86
/pm
Mr, Ruf: Bond Counsel has indicated that they are most anxious
that in the official statement we be able to say that we can get
our effluent to the plant after 1987 and the 2 million gallons of
additional transmission capacity, although it is just a paper
transfer from the County, should be in place so that we can
represent to potential bond buyers that we have all the
transmission capacity that we need to get our untreated effluent
to the County.
The second reason I have receded from my position is that all
other large users in the system are paying for unused transmission
capacity including the City of Tamarac, which does not get all of
the 2.5 million that we have reserved through the system and we,
in effect, pay for unused capacity as do all other large users.
And, the third reason I recede from my position is that as they
increase the millions of gallons of transmission paid for by large
users from 48-1/2 to 50-1/2, all large users will benefit by
virtue of the fact that there will be a 4% reduction for all large
users including ourselves at the 2--1/2 plus the million that we
have gotten from Deerfield. So, instead of it being $7,000.00 a
month it is reduced to $5,000.00 a month for this additional
capacity.
I think for those three reasons, we should go ahead and approve
the agreement with Broward County. One other thing ... Broward
County.. -if we approve this and get signed documents to them by
8:30 tomorrow morning, we will have this on the County agenda
May 27th. I understand from the Finance Director that we want to
be in the market with our bonds early in June and I see no other
way but to go ahead and approve this in the form that it is in.
I think it is one of those things ... one of those pills that we
must swallow because of our entrance into this process a second
time. I now feel confident that I can recommend to you that we
approve the County agreement as submitted by the County.
(End of partial Verbatim Transcript.)
V/M Stein MOVED to authorize the proper officials to execute the
modified agreement with Deerfield Beach and enter into an agree-
ment with the County for additional capacity and finalize the
total gallons needed for the entrance into the 201 Program.

h-1) Mr. Perretti said he received information yesterday afternoon and
he asked Carl Alper, Planning Commission member, to elaborate on
this.
Mr. Ruf read Temp, Reso. #4119 by title.
Mr. Alper said he is concerned about the beatification of a berm on
the west side of Tamarac Town Square. He said there was a Stipula-
tion made in 1978 which was updated and approved by Council. He
said they were supposed to have a continuous hedge along the top of
the berm and they have not done so. He said until the appropriate
number of trees are placed at that location, there should not be a
release of the bond and the owners should be given an opportunity
to comply with the Stipulation.

V/M Stein suggested the new Planning Commission send the City
Manager a memo as to the deficiencies so that he can notify them.
He agreed that the bond cannot be released until this is complied
with. C/W Massaro said the suggestion is accurate and she suggest-
ed the minutes be researched because there was a change made on the
continuous hedge being required on top of the berm.

q-1) C/W Massaro said she felt seminars and conferences are being abused
and approval of this would allow the City Clerk to be absent from
work for 18 working days. She said there are also two more
seminars planned for next month and the budget for Travel/Others
would be depleted by this. She said this budget is also for travel
for other people within the City Clerk's Department.
C/W Massaro said the Assistant City Clerk should be going to a
seminar so that she could be prepared to take over in the absence
of the City Clerk. She said it is unreasonable for any person to
attend so many seminars in one year.
V/M Stein asked Marilyn Bertholf, City Clerk, why it is necessary
to attend so many seminars.
Mrs. Bertholf said she attended the following seminars:
- The Florida League of Cities Conference in Hallandale -
October, 1985 - $31.80
- Trip to Coral Gables to AT&T office for review of a telephone
system - reimbursement for use of her car.
-- Florida Department of State Registration for Records Management
Seminar - 3/3 and 3/4/86 -- Update of all new laws regarding
records retention, maintenance, etc.
- Annual Conference with the Florida Association of City Clerks -
$75.00.
- University Conference in Boca Raton
- University Conference at the Holiday Inn, State Road 7,
Tamarac.
Mrs. Bertholf noted that all of these seminars and conferences were
approved by the City Manager and she felt they were necessary for
her job. Mayor Hart said he believes it is to the advantage of the
City to have educated Department Heads. He said he intends to go
to Orlando for the Florida League of Cities and attend as many
seminars as possible for education.

Mayor Hart said he sent a memo to all departments about a month ago
that any educational seminars, if approved by the Department Head
and City Manager and, within the department's budget, they do not
have to come to Council for further approval.
Mr. Perretti noted that Mayor Hart's memo stipulated any seminars
within Florida and this seminar requested by the City Clerk is in
Boston, Massachusetts.
C/M Gottesman said he agrees the Department Heads should be well
educated; however, he questioned how this particular seminar could
be helpful to Tamarac. Mrs. Bertholf said one of the advantages of
this particular conference is that it is being held in Boston where
there is such a large group of colleges and universities to acquire
the professors to train them. She said in addition to having City
Clerks from all over the world, there are many ideas exchanged for

C/M Gottesman questioned whether this was approved by the City
Manager and Mr. Perretti said he did approve this but requested
Council approval because it is out of State. He said he reviewed
the contents and felt that it is not necessarily more expensive to
go to Massachusetts because of the air fare wars, etc. He said the
contents of the conference is right in any City Clerk's area of
expertise.

23. Fluoridat„ion of Water System -- Temp. Resol_ #3592 -
Discussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: (See Page 2).
Temp. Reso�_#3592 was RESOLUTION NO. R-86-183 PASSED.
Agendized by Consent and. APPROVED
Providing the grant is forthcoming.
Mr. Ruf read Temp,. Reso. #3592 by title.
Mr. Greenwood said he requested Tom Mueller, Assistant Director of
Environmental Engineering with Broward County Public Health Unit,
to give Council a brief presentation on fluoridation.
Tom Mueller said he is requesting Tamarac take advantage of a grant
that would allow for the complete implementaion of fluoridation and
all costs involved. He said the history of fluoridation in Broward
County began in 1972 when it was a question of one of five straw
vote items on the ballot at that time. He said by a majority of
approximately 2 to 1 all the precincts in Tamarac at that time
voted for fluoridation.
Mr. Mueller said the County Commission at that time accepted this
as a mandate of the voters; therefore, they enacted County Ordin-
ance 72-17 that required fluoridation of all public water supplies
in Broward County. He said there was a loop hole whereby the
County Commission cannot dictate policy over municipalities and it
was up to the municipalities, either by Council action or by
holding a local referendum, to decide the matter locally.
Mr. Mueller said at that time there were approximately eight
municipalities that decided against it; however, there is now a
history of 11-1/2 years of fluoridation in Broward County. He said
there are 25 water plants feeding cloride, which serves a total
population of approximately 950,000 or 80% of the total population
of Broward County.
Mr. Mueller said there are only 6 cities, including Tamarac, that
do not fluoridate and they are approaching all these cities again.
He said fluoride is naturally occurring in the water supply at a
concentration of about 0.3 milograms per liter and they are seeking
to adjust that level up to the optimum range whereby the fluoride
will become effective for preventing dental caries.
Mr. Mueller said there is strong evidence to indicate that adults
also benefit from fluoridation from the standpoint that osteoporo-
sis is lessened by the presence of fluoide in the diet. He said it
has been shown conclusively in studies that fluoride intake keeps
calcium from migrating from the body whereby bones become weakened.
He said peridontal disease is also prevented to some extent by the
presence of fluoride in the diet.
Mr. Mueller noted that all
fluoridate except the City
residents of Tamarac have
water.

of Los Angeles; therefore, most of the

Mr. Mueller said fluoride is natural in nature and, in some cases,
there is too much in the water supply and efforts must be made to
defluoride the water. He said all safeguards are built in and the
Heath Department monitors this routinely with no problems in the
past 11-1/2 years of fluoridating water.
Mr. Mueller said there are grant monies administered under the
Florida Block Grant Program which are available from HRS in
Tallahassee with the adoption of a Resolution. He said the only
monies that have to be advanced would be for the payment of
engineering costs, which are reimbursable. He said the grant
monies would not be forthcoming until plans are permitted by the
Florida Department of Environmental Regulation.
Mr. Mueller said this cost would cover all aspects of the
implementation and the only thing that would not be included would
be if a new building would have to be erected. He said it is
possible that space will be found in an existing building at the
plant. He said the engineering, construction and fluoride chemical
costs for the first two years of operation are also borne by this
grant program.
C/M Stelzer said in March, 1985, James M. Montgomery Engineers gave
the City a report stating they completed all services needed to
apply for a grant. He said the application requires a letter from
the City asking for a copy of a City Resolution authorizing
fluoridation and an estimate of project costs including chemical
costs for two years. He said Temp. Reso. #3592 was prepared
indicating that $47,200.00 was available for Tamarac. He said
everything was in order and for some reason on 10/15/85 this was
thrown out.
C/M Stelzer said after all the past discussions, it has been
determined that Tamarac wants fluoridation providing there is a
grant available.
C/M Stelzer MOVED APPROVAL of Temp. Reso. #3592 providing the grant
is forthcoming.
V/M Stein said the cost of the fluoridation for the first two years
is included in the grant and he asked what the cost estimate is for
fluoridation for each year after that. Mr. Mueller said the
general figure varies according to how the chemical is obtained.
He said the City of Fort Lauderdale gets delivery in railroad tank
cars and they estimate the cost at $.05 per person per year. He
said the maintenance is almost negligible.
Mr. Mueller said he would estimate a City of Tamarac's size costing
approximately $.15 per person per year. He said he feels the
figure of approximately $47,000.00 is in line and Tamarac should
qualify for complete reimbursement.
Mayor Hart asked Mr. Greenwood:
1) What the approximate cost for chemicals would be after the
first two year period
2) What the present facilities are for handling this
3) What his opinion is as to whether the City should go into this
or not.
Mr. Greenwood said the cost figures, as stated by Mr. Mueller, are
what is being anticipated. He said as far as space allocation, the
existing water treatment plant does not have adequate space;
however, Council has approved the design of a complete new building
and, within this building will be a small room to house the
equipment. He said once the equipment is purchased and installed,
a temporary structure will be erected around it at a minimal cost.

Mayor Hart asked Mr. Greenwood's recommendation on fluordating and
Mr. Greenwood said based upon the American Waterworks Association,
and all the dental and health associations, there is evidence of
support for fluoridation.
C/W Massaro asked if a person must be trained to handle this and
Mr. Greenwood said the State has built in safeguards requiring
certified water treatment plant operators. He said this is the
first line of defense on any chemicals and he noted that chlorine
gas is used on a daily basis. He said the second line of defense
is detailed laboratory control and Tamarac is one of the first to
meetthe accredidation for laboratory certification for many constit-
uents including all wet chemistry and bacterialogical. He said
this was done through the efforts and training of Gary Hummell and
Mike Viant.
Harold H. Newman, resident, said on behalf of Dr. Abby, who has
been endorsing fluoridation for many years, he complimented the
Council for considering fluoridation for Tamarac.
Mr. Perretti asked if this is an open --ended grant or must it be
applied for yearly and Mr. Mueller said it is a one time thing as
far as getting the grant monies and, after one year's operation,
the City would apply to receive monies for the cost of the chemi-
cals for the second year. Mr. Ferretti said another question of
many residents concerned the taste of the water and Mr. Mueller
said that would not be affected.

28. Paj:king gr Storage of Commerical or Rec eati na hicles
Boats or Boat Trailers -- Discussion and possible action on a
request to amend Code Section 15 6(a)(4) to extend the time
allowed for parking trailers and recreational vehicles in
prohibited areas for the purposes of loading or unloading on a
temporary basis.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
an extra 48 hours if the Police
Department is notified that residents
are loading and unloading. The Code
should also have a description of a
Recreational Vehicle and the City
Attorney is to review the Ordinance.
Mr. Perretti read a letter from Louis A. Hradesky who complained to
the City regarding this: "We need up to 72 hours to prepare our
vehicles for travelling and for unloading prior to storage upon
return after a summer's travel. It takes a day to clean the
trailer inside and out, fill the water tanks, fill the tires with
air and a multitude of other tasks that must be checked prior to
use. It takes another day to transfer necessary items from the
home to the trailer and, on the third day we prepare the home for a
vacancy of 6 months or so...".
Mr. Perretti said the City's limit is presently 24 hours to load
and unload trailers and he and others feel that is an unreasonable
time frame. He said Mr. Hradesky was cited by the Police and is
asking Council to consider advancing these additional hours.

Mr. Ruf said an Ordinance was not prepared because his office
wanted to hear Council's feelings on this matter. C/W Massaro said
she feels 72 hours is a reasonable request. V/M Stein said he
feels 72 hours is an unreasonable request; however, he was agree-
able to adding another 12 hours to make a total of 36 hours to load
and unload.
V/M Stein suggested the City Attorney amend the time frame from 24
hours to 36 hours to avoid people parking their vehicles for too
long a time.
C/M Stelzer said this was originally enacted so that people would
not park their trailers in their driveways indefinitely; however,
he did not think 36 hours was sufficient time. V/M Stein said he
would accept leaving the time frame as it is; however, an extra 48
hours could be allowed if they notify the Police that they are
loading and unloading.
V/M Stein so MOVED, SECONDED by C/M Stelzer.
Vickie Beech, resident, suggested a description of "Recreational
Vehicles" be given in the Code. Mayor Hart said the Ordinance to

c) Agendized by Consent on Page
Proclamation was presented to
Mr. Schiff.
Louis Schiff, President of the Chamber of Commerce, said since
there has been a change of administration in Tamarac City Hall, for
the first time they are hearing that the administration desires to
widen the tax base for the City. He said the City cannot continue
to tax the residents and existing businesses and expect to get more
services without more taxes.
Mr. Schiff said Tamarac will have the Sawgrass Expressway, which is
scheduled to open in a short time and almost 700 acres that abound
this Expressway are prime areas of commercial economic development
for Tamarac. He said the Commercial Blvd. area is going to be one
of the major thoroughfares in Broward County and if the City does
not take affirmative steps to start planning the City's economic
growth and development, there will be unorganized development
without a plan, which can hurt the City.
Mr. Schiff said the Chamber is proposing a responsible committee
that will deal with economic growth. He said last night the
Chamber of Commerce approved a Tamarac Economic Development Board
to be an extension of the Chamber of Commerce. He said he is
asking the City to be partners in this.
Mr. Schiff said an Economic Development Board would be composed of
members of the Chamber of Commerce, a representative from the
Tamarac City staff with input from the community via a
representative from the Presidents Council. He said if these three
groups do not merge there will be no progress.
Mr. Schiff said they were in Tallahassee recently and it was noted
that this Board is needed with a study as to how best to use the
facilities. He said last night the Chamber of Commerce earmarked
$2,500.00 which they are willing to spend on an economic
development project.

Mr. Schiff noted that 80% of the businesses that are seeking to
relocate in the Broward County area are either from Broward, Dade
or Palm Beach Counties. He said the Chamber's goal is to attract
the Tri-County area people to this area.
Mr. Schiff said the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce
has stated that for every dollar up to $2,500.00 that the City will
commit to hiring an independent company, to be chosen jointly by
the City and the Chamber after bids are placed, the Chamber will
match dollar for dollar.
Mr. Schiff said there have been other studies done that state that
for every 100 acres of land that will be developed, that can mean
$200,000.00 per year for the City. He said that does not include
the effect of housing and businesses on the City.
Mr. Schiff said he is asking the City to commit to work with the
Chamber in a partnership effort to form this initial Economic
Development Board.
V/M Stein said he feels Tamarac should be involved and he noted
that there was a survey done in 1982 which gave the demographics,
etc., with a reservation of 6 areas for annexation which were given
to the County.
V/M Stein MOVED to have Tamarac contribute $2,500.00 to the new
Economic Development Board to match the $2,500.00 contributed by
the Chamber of Commerce. SECONDED by C/W Massaro.
Mayor Hart said developing a tax base is not necessarily to bring a
tax base into the City but rather
to keep
the taxes of the resi-
dents down. He said without any
other source
of income the cost of
living is automatically going up.
He said
they are talking about
clean industry such as warehousing,
centers and possibly bench work.
office
He said
parks, distribution
this could also provide
many part time jobs for retirees
as well.
Mayor Hart noted that there are many transportaition advantages now
with the Sawgrass and Turnpike and access to an airport as well.
He said he was told that Davie, Pembroke Pines and Coral Springs
have already hired an Economic Development Director for the City
for an amount of approximately $35,000.00. He said Pompano Beach
is now hiring this type of person and the Chamber of Commerce is
thinking of ways to raise money from the property owners in the
south half of Land Section 7 to fund the cost of a Director for
Economic Development, who would work through the Chamber of
Commerce. He said this could save Tamarac at least $35,000.00 to
hire one.
Mayor Hart said everyone he has spoken with welcomes this in the
proper location.
C/W Massaro asked if Tamarac intends to stay within the Land Use
Plan that is developed and V/M Stein said presently the answer is
yes, but if they receive something different, than that could
change.
Florence Bochenek, resident, said she is pleased the City is moving
in this direction.
Melanie Reynolds, resident, asked if there could be a legal opinion
regarding this under the State Constitution and V/M Stein said the
formation of this Economic Development Board was given by the State
and they do not approve of a City having an Economic Development
Board. He said all steps taken have been recommended by the State.

determination of the appropriation of the money cannot be deter-
mined at another time. Mr. Ruf said this can probably be

V/M Stein noted that the second "Whereas" clause of the Ordinance
states, "Whereas,, the City Council has held a public hearing, had

public hearing or whether it is in their franchise that it is not
necessary.
Mr. Ruf suggested this item be deferred to after lunch for research
He said he does not know of a franchise that would allow the
raising of rates without a public hearing. He said the Assistant
City Clerk has indicated to him that thei6public hearing has to be

12. Appraisal of Cegtain City Owned Prgpg. �y_ - Discussion and
possible action to select a firm to perform an appraisal of the
existing City Hall site and Public Works building site.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: The
firm of William S.W. Allison,
M.A.I., Real Estate Appraisers,
was retained at a cost not to
exceed $4,800.00.
V/M Stein said the City is presently about to go to bond issue for
the new City Hall and, since the Police facility cannot be built at
the same time because of the possibility of a referendum regarding
BSO, it has been determined that the funds needed for the Police
facility will come from the sale of either one or both of these
properties.
V/M Stein said this cannot be determined without an appraisal which
approximates the value of the new Police facility, approximately
$750,000.00 to 1 million dollars. He said the City needs a
certified appraisal stating that these properties approximate at
least 1 million dollars and this is also required when the City
wants to sell this property for an upset bid.
V/M Stein MOVED that the City retain William S.W. Allison for a sum
not to exceed $4,800.00 for the appraisal of this City Hall and the
City -owned property on NW 57 St. SECONDED by C/M Stelzer.
Vickie Beech, resident, asked in the event the City proceeds to
merge with BSO, why would the City need a Police facility, V/M
Stein said in negotiations, the BSO has submitted the total amount
of space needed, which approximates 8,000 square feet and is
estimated at approximately $750,000.00. He said the voters of
Tamarac defeated a referendum question to move the Public Works
facility a few years ago and the only way that this building can be
moved with the property sold would be to have enough funds to move
it without going back to the people.
Mrs. Beech asked if this appraisal would indicate the value of the
land that the new City Hall is being planned for and Council
members answered no. Mayor Hart said there is a question of the
size of the Police facility to be decided in November but either
one would be placed on the municipal complex property.
Melanie Reynolds, resident, said she does not feel the property
planned for the municipal complex should be used without knowing
the value of it. V/M Stein noted that the people have given the
City the authority of putting the municipal complex there.
Mrs. Beech said the sale of some of the City owned properties could
relieve the taxpayers and V/M Stein said if the City were success-
ful in receiving the money needed to build a new City Hall and
Police facility on this property, they could use whatever is left
to either reduce the bond or put an investment in the bank to pay
off part of whatever is used to float the bond.
C/W Massaro said at one time the City did not have the ability to
house all departments in one building but they do have this ability
now. She objected to splintering the departments and she suggested
submitting this to the people on referendum.

GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE/FINANCIAL
13. Touche Ross & Co,,. - Discussion and possible action on:
a) Acceptance of the audit report for Fiscal Year 1984/85
prepared by this firm - Temp. Rego. #4134
b) Possible selection of this firm to perform an audit for
Fiscal Year 1985/86
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: RESOLUTION NO. R-86-176 PASSED.
a) APPROVED
b) TABLED for the Council Liaison
and Finance Director to resolve
this matter.
a) Mr. Ruf read Tema. Reso. #4134 by title.
C/M Stelzer asked why a report dated 12/30/85 just came to Council.
Stan Brooks, Partner on the engagement for Touche Ross, introduced
Mike Wilson, In -Charge Manager, to Council.
Mr. Brooks said one of the events which happened during the current
year regarding release of the financial statements was ESM. He
said there was some difficulty with regard to the attorneys trying
to assess the amount of ESM investment which might ultimately be
realized by the City. He said it took some time to determine this.
He said, in addition, the City had some turn over during the year
and there were new people to deal with, such as, the Finance
Director, who came on board at the end of the fiscal year.
Mr. Brooks said during the period prior to the selection of a new
Finance Director, there were some recordings of transactions which
were in error. He said these had to be corrected by the new
Finance Director, who was also under pressure for a bond refunding,
which was a surprise item at the end of the year.
Mr. Brooks said at the same time they were performing the examina-
tion is when the bond refunding issue developed and they had to
devote their staff time towards pursuing comfort letters and
assisting the bond refunding. He said they would anticipate that
they would be finished and have the audit report issued by
12/31/86.
Mr. Wilson said their Letter of Recommendation was issued in
November, 1985 and they saw there would be some delay. He said
some typo errors have been corrected with revised sheets given to
the City.
C/M Stelzer MOVED ACCEPTANCE of the submitted report, SECONDED by
V/M Stein.

b) C/M Stelzer said when the contract was originally submitted, Touche
Ross proposed to do the audit of 1984, 1985 and 1986 and they came
up with C.P.I. increases. He said he spoke to the Finance Director
and he sees no objection to retaining Touche Ross for next year at
an amount of $19,000.00 for the audit for 1986.
C/M Stelzer MOVED that the City engage Touche Ross as auditors for
the fiscal year ending 9/30/86 at an amount not to exceed
$19,000.00, SECONDED by V/M Stein.
C/M Gottesman asked when the audit will be received and Mr. Brooks
said the auditor expresses an opinion on the financial statements
that are prepared by the City and they have determined that if the
City has a schedule prepared by 11/17/86 and the financial
statements are ready by 12/1/86, the audit will be completed with
their opinion and issued by 12/31/86.

Vickie Beech, resident, said last year Touche Ross offered to do
an audit from one department and they were then requested to do a
second audit. She questioned what the procedure will be this
year. Mr. Perretti said last year they did audits on the Parks
and Recreation Department and the Finance Department.
Mr. Brooks said initially when they were engaged, Mr. Cohen, who
was previously the audit Partner, had submitted a letter with
regard to fees and the services to be performed over a three year
period. He said the City accepted that and they agreed to con-
tinue to do the work in the third year at that fee, which is a
substantial discount from what standard billing rates would be.
Mr. Brooks said he feels it would be an unnecessary burden to
extend a request for Touche Ross' services beyond a standard
examination which includes a review of internal control to the
extent they want to rely on internal control.
Mrs. Beech said the internal audit was being done to create a vote
of confidence in every department in the City and this would be
done every year. C/W Massaro asked Mr. Brooks if Touche Ross is
agreeing to do an audit of some department and Mr. Brooks said
they will do a review of the system of internal control to the
extent necessary to perform an examination of the financial
statements. He said a special report on a separate department is
not included in their proposal. C/W Massaro said this was agreed
upon and they did two last year because they failed to do it the
previous year.
Mr. Brooks said there is a new 0 and B circular which will require
a total revision of the audit programs, types of documentation and
audit reports with regard to any grants. He said there has been
no price increase in the fee from the amount that was suggested
two years ago in order to adapt the audit procedures to perform
that audit.
C/M Stelzer read from Touche Ross's original letter:
"We also agree to review the internal controls of an operating
department in depth on a rotating basis and prepare a separate
report on our findings."
Mr. Brooks said they will accept that and prepare that report;
however, they would then request the City reimburse them for the
additional costs that will be required this year to conform with
the new 0 and B circular for the Federal Revenue Sharing audits
which is estimated at $2,500.00.
Mr. Brooks said his previous partner has committed to a $19,000.00
fee and there are a couple of changes in circumstances this year
whereby the fee quoted can still be maintained by doing the
additional procedures required for the Federal Revenue Sharing and
not doing the procedures with regard to the special audit. He
said while there has been a special emphasis placed upon the in-
depth audit, the nature of the audit that Touche Ross is engaged
to do is a financial audit, not an operations audit. He said
whether, in the course of performing a financial audit, they would
uncover operating problems of a particular department would be
somewhat coincidental because they are not specifically looking
for operating problems.
C/M Gottesman asked if the auditors find something suspect would
they investigate and Mr. Brooks said they have committed to doing
the audit for $19,000.00.

5/14/86 p /
/pm \_.
Mr. Brooks said to the extent that their procedures have to be
expanded because they find a particular event occurring, they
would expand those procedures. He said there might be limitations
if legal counsel were needed, etc., but they would advise Council
on additional cost in advance.
Mr. Brooks said it is anticipated that they will, in fact, find
departments where they would extend their audit procedures in that
department. C/M Stelzer questioned what they have to conform to
as far as the original letter of engagement and Mr. Brooks said
the previous procedures were well defined and there were no
additional procedures beyond what was typically done for an
examination of the financial statements of the City. He said the
new circular has a new audit guide with new procedures and report-
ing.

27. AmerigsIn-Cal2lesystems of Florida - Temp. Ord. 11258 -
Discussion and possible action to amend the rates charged by
this company for cable television service. First Reading.
,SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: (See Page 20).
APPROVED on first reading since
the Ordinance calls for a public
hearing before the second reading.
Mr. Ruf said when this matter came before Council this morning,
V/M Stein was correct in noting an error in the wording of the
"Whereas" clause of the Ordinance. He said apparently the form
used was the same one used two years ago and was not reviewed
carefully. He said they studied the question of whether or not
Council has the right to hold a first reading of the Ordinance
before a public hearing and it is the legal staff's opinion that
Council may proceed with a first reading and advertise for the
second reading to be held on 5/28/86, at which time the public
hearing would also be held.
Mr. Ruf said they changed the wording in the "Whereas" clause to
indicate, "The Council will hold a public hearing prior to final
adoption of this Ordinance so as to hear input from the public and
the petitioner and consider those adjustments proposed herein."
Mr. Ruf said it would be appropriate to hear from the applicant
and have first reading of this Ordinance.
Mitch Ceasar, Attorney for American Cablesystems, said American
Cablesystems is the successor or new purchaser of American Video
Corp., which had been in the City approximately 12 years previous-
ly. He said American. Cablesystems has been in Tamarac for 2-1/2
years and they are proposing a rate increase of $1.95 per basic.
He said this is the first rate increase they have proposed in over
2 years.
Mr. Ceasar said the City currently receives franchise fees which
are 3% of the gross revenues, which are all the numbers they
receive which are basic costs and a gross of any other costs. He
said the City is presently receiving approximately $70,000.00 per
year in franchise fees without the increase.

/pm
Tape 7
Mr. Ceasar said there are approximately 9,000 subscribers in
Tamarac that have been approved under the schedule by the County
Commission for the area within the County and they were approved
last night in Sunrise and Lauderhill.
Mr. Ceasar said a few years ago they promised to rebuild the
system and spend in excess of 1 million dollars in Tamarac to make
it the most up-to-date system possible. He said they are now
anticipating spending approximately 2 million dollars just in
Tamarac on the rebuild. He said they also promised to change the
phone system and they did this at an expense of almost
$200,000.00. He said that system proved to be faulty and they
pulled it out and installed another one for the same amount of
money with modifications on that system.
Mr. Ceasar said they developed a West Service Center with a pool
of approximately 40 trucks which will send service anywhere in
Tamarac in 5 minutes. He said they have expanded to 24 hours
service with a customer service center on University Dr. in
Plantation.
Mr. Ceasar said another proposal with the rate increase is that
those people who receive just the basic service will be getting 7
additional free channels such as, Arts and Entertainment, Video
Hits, Black Entertainment Network, Country Music, Nichelodean,
Home Shopping Network and PTL. He said they are also adding some
pay channel such as, American Movie Classics, Bravo and Nostalgic
Channel.
Mr. Ceasar said two years ago they also promised to increase
coverage locally at Council meetings, community events, etc., and
they have covered everything they have been asked to cover as well
as many items they have not been asked to cover. He said they
spent $350,000.00 for a mobile television
unit to handle this type of exposure.
Mr. Ceasar noted that in the past there was a remote with a wire
attached to the television set and now there is a totally wireless
remote. He said any person who gets two paid channels or more of
any kind will receive a 0 rate increase.
Mr. Ceasar said with the rate increase, they did a comparison to
show where they would fall among all other cablesystems in the
County and they fall about in the middle. He said they also have
the highest channel capacity with 54 channels possible eventually
and 45 provided now.
Mr. Ceasar said the increase of $1.95 will not cover their cost
for the expenses for services being provided, which breaks down to
$4.02. He said they have lowered other rates, such as, additional
sets with channel selectors which was reduced $1.00, mini -
amplifier deposit went down from $50.00 to $15.00 and the
interconnect for large screens went down from $20.00 to slightly
more than $10.00.
Mr. Ceasar noted that a Federal Bill was passed that deregulated
cable and they could pass a certain increase without requesting
Council's permission but the final decision maker is the customer.
He said they felt it would be better to go before Council and
request their permission.
Mr. Ceasar apologized for a mistake in that a notice went out
about a rate increase before this was discussed by Council. He
explained that they received approval some time ago from the
County and there are several cities in the east that are totally
deregulated already. He said they sent out 47,000 notices and,
unfortunately, they were mixed in with an additional batch that
were distributed in Sunrise and Tamarac. He said they ran public
notices explaining this error.

David Felsenstein, resident, objected to the notice of increase
which was received one month before it was applied for before
Council. Vickie Beech, resident, said she heard Channel 2 has
been taken off certain cable stations and Mr. Ceasar said he heard
that. Bill Gronski, resident, said Bermuda Club just signed a
contract with American Cablesystems and he asked how this will
affect them and Mr. Ceasar said it will have no affect.
Milt Siegel, President of the Isles of Tamarac, complained about
the service of American Cablesystems. Irving Lopatey, resident,
complained about the service.
C/M Gottesman asked in what time phase American Cablesystems will
invest 2 million dollars and what will this money do for the
subscribers? Mr. Ceasar said the money is for replacement of
wires, convertors and electronic equipment being changed to make
the system run better.
Dan Olmetti, representative of American Cablesystems, said the
rebuild project is expected to be completed in 30 days. He said
in some cases actual hard cable must be replaced and they are
putting standby power equipment in the lines to reduce the loss of
power to the system and rain fade. He said they installed new
microwave equipment in the Tamarac tower which should improve the
rception quality.
Mr. Ceasar said there are battery packs that are installed to
help when lightning hits an area or FP&L is digging and cuts
cables. He said these standby battery packs will assure that the
entire system is not affected and this will isolate the area that
is affected.
C/M Stelzer said two years ago when cable first came into Tamarac
there were many complaints about actual cable reception. He said
he has not heard one complaint now that the pictures are bad and
the only complaints regard the telephones and he noted that this
is the same situation for airlines and other services.
C/W Massaro asked Mr. Siegel what his pumplaints were and Mr.
Siegel said it concerned the quality of the picture. V/M Stein
said there are 9,000 subscribers and he questioned the number of
subscribers that are complaining. He noted that American Cable -
systems does have a franchise but they could price themselves out
of business. He said the open market has allowed people to use
whatever cable system they want since this is a non-exclusive
franchise. He noted that ixterrupted service happens with any
cable system as well.
Mr. Ruf read Temp. Ord. #1258 by title.
V/M Stein MOVED APPROVAL of T.QMp.__Qrd 11258 on first reading
subject to the fact that the Ordinance now calls for a public
hearing before second and final reading. SECONDED by
C/M Stelzer.
C/W Massaro said the Ordinance reads, "Whereas, the City Council
has deemed it in the best interests of the City to grant a rate
adjustment to American; and, Whereas, American has progressed
satisfactorily in providing upgraded service to City residents..."
She said in view of the complaints heard today she would have to
vote against this increase.

Mr. Ruf said the "Whereas" clauses are not the effective part of

14. Durbin Paper stock CoMpany -- Discussion and possible action on
allocation of space near the Public Works site to provide
residents a means of disposing of newspapers and obtaining
monies by weight.
Y P I F ACTION: APPROVED
the drafting of a contract with
Durbin Paper Stock Co. for this
purpose.
Tape 8
Mr. Ferretti said a few months ago Durbin Paper Stock Co. showed
him some opportunities for pursuing this and he and the Public
Works Director looked at certain areas of the City for this
purpose. He said there were several alternatives studied and this
was the most convenient: the idea of the residents dropping off
their own newspapers at the corner of NW 88 Ave. just to the east
of the Public Works building with ingress/egress off Commercial
Blvd. and NW 57 St. The truck would be stationed at that
location.
Mr. Perretti said this is helpful for the resident because any
amount of paper they would get would give them a certain amount of
money per pound of paper. He said the advantage to the City is
the fact that this would decrease the City's tonnage that is going
to Waste Management since the City is being charged a tipping fee
of $25.00 per ton. He said during the last 3 years the tipping
fee for garbage has gone from $19.00 to $25.00 per ton and this
could be helpful.
Rubin Aguilar, representative of Durbin Paper Stock Co., said he
met with C/M Stelzer and the former Public Works Director some
time ago regarding this and, at that time, an alternative site was
considered at the Family Mart store.
Mr. Aguilar said he was told this morning that the City would
consider putting the container at the Public Works site. He said
this program has been used in many cities throughout Florida for
about 6 years and the process would be that they would place a 40
cubic yard container on the site with an attendant. He said it
would be manned during regular hours, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. every
day and half day on Saturday. He said when the resident brings
the papers to the site, they are weighed with the resident issued
a voucher redeemable for cash at a local bank.
Mr. Aguilar said they estimate they can take 100 tons of paper per
month out of the City. Mr. Perretti asked what the cents would be
per 100 pounds of paper that the resident would receive and
Mr. Aguilar said it is presently $25.00 per ton.
C/M Stelzer said there were was discussion of putting small boxes
in every clubhouse throughout the City or at Family Mart but this
sounds like the best idea. He MOVED that permission be granted to
Durbin Paper Stock Co. to place a 40 cubic foot container at
Public Works. Mr. Aguilar said they will prepare a contract for
the City Manager with insurance coverage that is included in the
agreement. SECONDED by V/M Stein.

SYNO SIS OF ACTION:
Permission was granted with
the understanding that Insurance
and a Hold Harmless Agreement
must be received.
Mr. Perretti said there has been a request from the Italian
American Club to close off a portion of NW 57 St. for the purposes
of having a festival. Angelo Mela, Italian American Club Manager,
said the front of their building would be used for parking fac-
ilites with the festival in the back of the building. He said the
dates and times involved would be Thursday, October 16, Friday,
October 17, Saturday, October 18, and Sunday, October 19, between
3:00 p.m. to 12:00 midnight.
V/M Stein said he would object to allowing them to use the whole
street for this purpose because of traffic purposes; therefore,
they will be allowed to use the east bound lane only so that it is
in conjunction with the property.

b) Authorization for Kruse, O'Connor and Ling to prepare an
Actuarial Impact Statement and related services at a cost

(tabled from 4/23/86)
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
a) APPROVED on first reading as
revised on 5/14/86.
b) APPROVED with the cost to come
from the Pension fund.
c) TABLED.
a) Mr. Ruf read Tema. Ord. #1253 by title.
Peter Prior, Chairman of the Pension Board, said this Ordinance
would take care of the employee's tax benefits so that instead of
paying them now they would be paid when the employee retires.
C/W Massaro explained that the money that goes into the Pension
Fund must have tax paid on it now and this would defer that tax
until retirement. C/M Stelzer asked if they received the I.R.S.
ruling on this and Mr. Prior said this was passed.
C/W Massaro asked how this would affect the City and Mr. Prior
said it does not. C/M Stelzer explained that the employee would
defer the tax on the amount deducted from their salaries and
contributed to the Pension Fund.
Frank Etheredge, Finance Director, agreed that this would have no
affect on the City.

5/14/86
/pm
Mr. Etheredge said presently the employee is taxed at the Federal
level on his gross salary and this change would mean that the 1%
or 5% he is contributing to the retirement plan will be taken out
of his gross salary and then his Federal Withholding Taxes will be
figured on the dividends instead of the gross.
C/W Massaro asked when this became law Federally and C/M Stelzer
said this has been in effect for a long time.
V/M Stein MOVED APPROVAL of Temp. Ord. #1253 on first reading,

b) C/W Massaro asked who would be paying for the Actuarial Study and
Mr. Etheredge said in the budget revision they put it in the
budget of the Pension Fund; therefore, the Pension Fund could be
charged.
V/M Stein noted that the wording should be changed since the memo
from Judy Deutsch, Personnel Director, states that "there will be
no additional cost to the City". He said the amount is $1,200.00
and it should be stated, "which shall be paid by the Pension
Fund".
V/M Stein MOVED APPROVAL as amended, SECONDED by C/W Massaro.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE
c) Mr. Prior said the three things in common on this issue are the
vesting schedules. He said they are asking for the general
employees to have an increase of 1.25% to be raised to 2% for a
retirement benefit. He said 1.25% does not provide a livable wage
when the employees retire. He said the Police have two options,
one for 2µ1/2% and one for 3% which they prefer. He said the Fire
Fighters are requesting an increase from 2-1/2% to 3% and to lower
their normal retirement age to 50.
V/M Stein said the Fire Fighters are requesting an increase to 3%
as well as the reduction in retirement age to 50 from 55.
Mr. Prior said the cost to the City is $15,500.00 for that item
each year but there are monies to pay for that benefit to which
the City does not have to contribute.
Mr. Perretti said the subject of age is involved in contract
negotiations as well as the Pension Fund and, from a contractual
standpoint, before Council considers dropping any age requirement,
unless the Fire Fighters are going to commit themselves to a "50
and out" concept, he would recommend that this not be considered.
He noted that the Police have in their contract a retirement age
of 57 but they allow Police officers to work to 60 or older and he
felt he could not recommend that.
V/M Stein said since there are contract negotiations pending, he
felt this should not be discussed. Mr. Perretti said the contract
expires on 9/30/86 and negotiations will start with the Fire
Fighters shortly. He noted that negotiations have already begun
with the Police. He said retirement is now a negotiable item in
Florida.
Mr. Prior said if all the benefits are being taken, the powers of
the Pension Board are being usurped since the powers are not only
fiduciary but to make sure that the benefits are worthwhile to the
employees. He said they are only asking for the minimum.

He said they have people who are expecting to retire and cannot

V/M Stein said the City must be careful regarding the Police
benefits because of the present negotiations with the BSO and he
felt this should be studied further.

32. Woodmont Plaza - Temp. Reso. #4138 - Discussion and possible
action on a request to extend the Special Exception granted to
Jack Lalanne Health and Fitness Center regarding expansion of
facility.
SYNOPSIS_OF ACTION: No
Resolution was prepared.
An extension of one month
was given to make the necessary
permanent parking arrangements
or the bay will be closed.
Mr. Ruf said that Resolution has not been prepared.
Barry Eden, representing Woodmont Plaza Associates, said 18 months
ago a Resolution was approved by the City regarding settlement of
a permanent arrangement for parking between Woodmont Plaza and All
Saints Lutheran Church, who owns the property directly to the
east. He said they thought All Saints would have finished their
building by now and a permanent arrangement could have been agreed
to; however, this has not been done because there were problems
with the sale of their property on University Dr.
Mr. Eden said at this time, on behalf of all the parties involved,
they are requesting that this continue on a month to month basis
and, if there is a cancellation of the arrangement, notice will be
given to the City. He noted that they have been cooperating with
the City.

Chief Building Official, Bob Jahn, referred to the letter he sent
to Jack Lalanne regarding Resolution 84-372 which specifically
states that within 18 months they are to secure the permanent
parking arrangements and, if not, they will vacate the bay at
7915, which was the extension of Jack Lalanne. He said this did
not include 7921, which is the main building.
V/M Stein said when this was approved he was emphatic that he
would only agree with this if they understood that there would be
no extensions or renewals. He said they agreed to that and at the
Site Plan Review meeting yesterday, the Church showed a 6-foot
wall extending across this area and their attorney said under no
condition would a cross -parking agreement be granted.
V/M Stein said this is not closing down Jack Lalanne but only the
additional bay and he noted the terrible parking situation at this
location. Mr. Eden said if the situation with All Saints Church
had progressed as they thought it would, this could have been
resolved. He said they are asking for an opportunity to work this
Tape 9 out and he asked that this be Tabled to the 5/28/86 Council
meeting.
Mayor Hart noted that Reverend Kaiser from All Saints Lutheran
Church met with him a week ago and noted they are prepared to
start building. Mr. Eden said the situation has not been resolved
and he asked this be renewed month to month.
C/M Stelzer said when this was approved originally it was stipu-
lated that if they could not complete permanent parking arrange-
ments, they would close the bay. He MOVED that a one month
extension be given on this item to give them a change to either
complete permanent parking arrangements or the bay will be closed.

to urge Broward County
to restore
complete street lighting along
Commercial
Boulevard.
(Every other light had been
extinguished by the
County in
an effort to economize).
SYNOPSI F ACTION:
RESOLUTION NO. R-86-177
PASSED.
APPROVED.
Mr. Ruf read Temp. Reso. #4135 by title.
V/M Stein said at the 4/9/86 Council meeting it was discussed that
the Police officers should report when there are lights out in
various areas. He said in response to Council's complaint, there
was a letter from Police Chief McIntosh and Police officers which
noted that on 11/16/82, then Vice Mayor Helen Massaro, together
with Steve Wood, the former Finance Director, agreed with the
County to have every other light on W. Commercial Blvd. and Rock
Island Rd. turned off.
V/M Stein said as a result of that, they extinguished every other
light and removed some of the fixtures of these lights so that
they could not be turned on. He said the only way the City could
urge the County to reconsider this would be to approve a Resolu-
tion requesting they turn the lights on. He said according to the
Police and Engineering Departments, the lighting there now is not
sufficient and is unsafe.

turn on the lights and replace the fixtures that were taken down.

17. Municipal CoMpl ex - Discussion and possible action on:
a) Status report by the Construction Committee
b) Miller & Meier Invoice F1307 in the amount of $35,191.66
(tabled from 9/11/85)
9jYNOP,915- QF ACTION:
a) V/M Stein gave a report.
b) APPROVED payment of $6,509.62,
which are reimbursable costs,
and the City will have a credit
of $7,000.00 to be used for whatever
is billed for completed bids. This
amount is instead of the amount of
$35,191.66, which was previously
stated as due.
a) V/M Stein said the first meeting was held of the Construction
Committee with two representatives from Miller & Meier and
C/M Gotteman present. He said they found that they could live
with the plan with some modifications which are being prepared by
Miller & Meier. He said they ordered Miller & Meier to start
working on the site plan first in order to be expediant.
V/M Stein said there has been agreement between the Committee and
Miller & Meier on some items and one item of concern was a lagoon
that was requested by C/M Gottesman. He said after discussion it
was determined that to put this lagoon in would cost approximately
$600,000.00. He said this could be modified into a waterfall with
a pond.
V/M Stein said it is possible that before Council recesses for the
August vacation, there could be plans ready to go to bid. He said
the bidding could take place during August and in September, this
matter could be discussed further. He said in addition, they are
informing the bond counsel of the amount of money needed.
C/W Massaro asked if the amounts for furniture, carpeting, etc.,
have been removed from the costs and V/M Stein said the plans are
centered around the furniture. He said the City is compelled to
go to competitive bid for all furniture, etc., and Miller & Meier
need specs to go to competitive bid.
b) C/M Stelzer said the original contract with Miller & Meier had 7%
architect fees on new construction and 6% is due for programming,
9% for schematic design, 20% for design development and 40% when
the construction documents are finished.
C/M Stelzer said one of the problems was that there was no mention
of site development in any of the discussions previously. He said
site development has been estimated by Miller & Meier as totally
over one million dollars.
C/M Stelzer said another problem concerned the furnishings and in
review of past discussions there is no mention of Miller & Meier
purchasing any furnishings or carpeting.

5/14/86

LJ
C/M Stelzer said, however, all the bills put through by former
City Attorney, Jon Henning, indicate percentages of the carpeting
and all the furnishings. He said the City is evidently committed
to paying the architect's fees on the furnishings and carpeting,
if the City buys carpeting. He said if the City does not buy the
carpeting, they do not get the 7% amount.
C/M Stelzer said on the Police facility, Miller & Meier has gotten
to the 40% construction documents. He said the cost for the
Police facility was originally planned at 2 million dollars in the
original contract and this is now computed at $1,771,000.00. He
said the site development related to the Police facility was
$471,000.00 which brings the construction costs to $2,200,000.00.
He said the 7% fee on this amount totals $153,000.00 with 75% at
the completion; therefore, the City owes Miller & Meier
$114,000.00 for that.
C/M Stelzer said the interior furnishings, which they estimate
costing $236,000.00, the total 7% would be $116,500.00; however,
inasmuch as no specs have to be made for the purchasing of the
interior furnishings, he convinced them to only charge 3-1/2%.
He said with 3-1/2%, 50% completion on the interior furnishings
would be $8,000.00 and the total fee earned to date would be
$123,000.00.
C/M Stelzer said the computation that the Finance Director made
for him shows that the City paid Miller & Meier $130,000.00 on the
Police facility; therefore, they owe the City $7,000.00 on archi-
tectural fees that were paid for the Police facility. He said
Miller & Meier has agreed to having this $7,000.00 applied to the
final billings when they devise the final plans.
C/M Stelzer said there are reimbursable figures on money that was
spent by Miller & Meier to of $6,509.00 and they should get paid
for that.
C/M Stelzer said they have estimated $3,700,000.00 for the build-
ing, interior furnishings of $588,000.00 and the site development
costs of $600,000.00 with the total project construction costs
being $4,800,000.00. He said the City has paid Miller & Meier
some money on this but have not paid the full 7% that is owed. He
said he has arranged with them that nothing further will be paid
until the City goes out for bid and the exact figures for
construction costs are known.
C/M Stelzer said the agreement is that the City will pay them
$6,509.62 for the costs that they have incurred that are reimburs-
able and, whatever they bill the City on completed bids will have
a credit of $7,000.00.
C/M Stelzer MOVED that the City pay Miller & Meier the sum of
$6,509.62 instead of the previous amount of $35,191.66, which was
stated as due. SECONDED by V/M Stein.

This item was sent back to the
Board of Adjustment for their
decision.
C/W Massaro said this is an odd shaped piece of land which was
left over when the turnpike was built. He said this property
belonged to Behring and Mr. Trachsel and Mr. Bienema were his Vice
Presidents who inherited this property free of charge. She said
this property is between Commercial Blvd. and 47 Terrace and 47
Terrace is very narrow with a total width of approximately 16
feet.
C/W Massaro said Mr. Kramer came to the Board of Adjustment
seeking a 57 foot waiver of the distance required because B--1
zoning requires a 200-foot depth. She said that zoning was put
there to protect the homeowners in that location and she suggested
the Board of Adjustment allow her to bring this to Council to ask
that this be sent to the Planning Commission to consider the
appropriate zoning for that land. She said they cannot utilize
the B--1 zoning because the land does not have the proper depth.

they Deny this it would then go to the Planning Commission for a
change in zoning.
Florence Bochenek, Vice Chairman of the Planning Commission,
said this came before the Planning Commission with a
recommendation and it did go before the Board of Adjustment. She
said she thought this would come before the Planning Commission
again and Council members said that this must go before the Board
of Adjustment and Council will not interfere with their decision.

Mr. Jahn said Council granted him permission some time ago to
determine prices to rent or lease a modular unit to increase the
space needs for the Building Department. He said AZCO Equipment
Corp. had provided the Engineering Department with fine units;
therefore, he went to them and received the following proposals:
1. 24 x 40 modular unit for $780.00 per month with an 18-month
lease.
2. 24 x 60 modular unit
Mr. Jahn said his recommendation for purchase of the first option
was because this would fit sideways across the parking lot without
closing off the exit from the Council Chambers or the rear of the
building and would only require abandoning two parking spots. He
said the cost would be $750.00 or, if carpeting is desired for the
first option, it would cost $30.00 more for a total of $780.00.
Mr. Jahn said this would be a new unit that would have to have a
floor plan designed with space for restrooms. He said this would
be a unit that would be approved by the State of Florida as to
construction, etc. He said when the lease is ended, there is an
option to renew or remove it for $800.00.
Mr. Jahn noted that the second option is larger and is "on hand"
and could be delivered immediately; however, it would take up too
many parking spaces. Mayor Hart questioned the cost to buy this
type of unit as opposed to renting but Mr. Jahn said he doubted
that this would be available for State contract but might be
purchased from AZCO.

C/W Massaro suggested this be researched further. V/M Stein
suggested Mr. Jahn determine what the price would be for the
larger trailer as well and Mr. Jahn said he will call them
immediately to determine the price of puchase for both units.
