REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
MAY 23, 1984
CALL TO ORDER: Mayor Philip B. Kravitz called the meeting to order
on Wednesday, May 23, 1984, at 9:00 A.M., in the Council Chambers.
ROLL CALL: PRESENT: Mayor Philip B. Kravitz
Vice Mayor Sydney M. Stein
Councilman Jack Stelzer
Councilman Raymond J. Munitz
Councilman John J. Dunne
ALSO PRESENT: Consulting City Attorney Alan Ruf
City Manager Laura Stuurmans
City Clerk Marilyn Bertholf
Secretary, Carol Thrasher
MEDITATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Mayor Kravitz called for a
Moment of Silent Meditation followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
Mayor Kravitz announced that copies of the agenda and the time
schedule are available for the Public. He asked for the coopera-
tion of Council and the audience in limiting their remarks to as
short a time as possible, as the agenda is quite lengthy and he
hopes to complete the agenda by 4:00 P.M. Ile read the time
schedule as published. The Mayor asked Council if there were any
items to be Agendized by Consent at this time.
Vice Mayor Stein advised that he received two items to be agendized
by consent however he does not feel that either one are emergencies
but if those requesting this action are present and can advise of the
emergency, Council could agendize. He stated that the majority of
Council was elected on a platform of not having agendizement by
consent unless it was a true emergency and he is opposed to agendizing
any item which has been labeled an emergency, but is not.
C/M Stelzer stated that he had not received these items and asked
Vice Mayor Stein to explain the items. Vice Mayor Stein advised
that one is a Burglar Alarm Ordinance and the other is an emergency
item affecting the Temple to allow them to install a fence around
the playground area. C/M Stelzer advised that he has an item
to appoint a representative to Community Development, which, expires
on May 30th. He agreed_ that the previous two items were not emer-
gencies but feels that this item should be agendized by consent
because the expiration date is May 30th and there is no meeting until
after that time. C/M Stelzer MOVED to Agendize by Consent the appoint-
ment of a member to the Community Development Committee. Vice Mayor
Stein SECONDED.

ALL VOTED AYE
Mayor Kravitz advised that this will be Agendized by Consent as Item

AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS
1. Special Award Presentation by Mayor Kravitz.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Special gift and award
were presented to City Manager Laura Stuurmans
by Mayor Kravitz for 15 years of outstanding
service to the City.
Mayor Kravitz announced that it is customary for the Mayor to give out
proclamations and awards at the start of the agenda. He added that this
morning was no different except that he had the extreme pleasure and
honor to present an award that was kept a complete surprise. One of
the City's very own has not only earned but is being rewarded for 15

years of outstanding service to the City. He called for the City
Manager Laura Stuurmans and read the inscription of a plaque awarded
to her for 15 years of dedicated service to the City of Tamarac. He
stated that the people of the City have been privileged to have her
for these 15 years and hopes to have her for many years to come, in
continued good service to the City. He announced that it was his
pleasure as the Mayor to present her with the gift of a beautiful
silver bowl from Staff and Council and expressed his wish that she
uses it well for years to come. With the bowl, the Mayor presented
long --stemmed red roses and a bottle of wine.
City Manager Stuurmans expressed her appreciation and stated that she
suspected a little when she saw the flowers and so many staff people
in the audience. She thanked those people who were persistent in not
allowing her to slip by the anniversary of 15 years of service and
she was going to work very hard and shock everyone by getting through
the moment. She stated that sometimes it is easier to cope when making
references to yourself than it is when sharing moments like she did with
John Glynn a month ago. She expressed her sincere feelings for the
respect, the sentiments, and the loyalty that this gift conveys. She
stated that she is very appreciative of the excellent working relation-
ships that the employees of the City share now, have shared in the past,
and will share in the future; and added that this is a lovely token to
represent that. She advised that she could not let the moment pass
without sharing this with two other people whose contributions and
individual talent have taken a backseat to allow her to advance and
succeed these 15 years. She stated that they knew who they were and
they share this together.
Mayor Kravitz asked that Staff and Council join Laura for pictures.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE/FINANCIAL
13. Bid Award - Finance Department - Temp. Reso. #3156 - Discussion
and possible action to award a^bid for employee group insurance.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: TABLED
for a Workshop Meeting.
Vice Mayor Stein read Temp. Reso. #3156, by title.
Mr. Troy Pilon, representing the Florida Municipal Health Trust Fund,
stated that he received a copy of the recommendations of Mr. Tracy
Stafford and Mr. Pilon pointed out to Council that the self -funded
program has been recommended to the City. Mr. Piton advised that the
League wanted to point out that the exposures under the self -funded
program project savings of $66,919.80 in the upcoming year and that
those are only projections, not guarantees. He stated that there
was nothing in the recommendation stating that the City's rates would
be guaranteed for a year nor did he see anything that gave the specific
or aggregate limits of the self -funded programs which simply means
at what point in time the re -insurance kicks in if there is a
catastrophic loss. He added that the City of Dania and Margate are
in a self -funded program and doing quite well and being familiar with
both cities, he stated that neither has had large losses since they
have been in this program., It would be interesting to see what
they will do once they have had a $20 - $30,000.00 loss and the re-
insurance claims double or triple the following year. He stated
that there were many questions that the recommendation did not answer
and suggested to Council that most experts in the field and the
publication, Business Insurance, state that the ideal size of self -
funding in the accidental and health area is 1,000 employees. He
added that employers with less than that would be taking quite a
risk. He stated that he knows there are a lot of arguments in
reference to the savings, but if Council would look at the City's
loss ratios for the last three years, the indication is that the
City has held at the same loss level for that period. There has been
some improvement on self containment and the recommendation did not
reflect that the City currently has two plans of benefits: (1) a
$100.00 deductible up to $5,000.00 and the alternate plan is a $200.00
deductible with co-insurance of 80/2_0. Mr. Pilon concluded that the
Florida League of Cities provides additional service that has been
available to municipalities before self -funded programs were available.

He disagreed with the statements that it takes from one to two months
to get claims paid through the League program, and added that there
are no claims in the Claims Department at this time that have been
there longer than two weeks. He encouraged Council to stay with the
League program and stated that he feels it is extremely risky with
only approximately 291-300 employees in the City to go on a self -
funded basis without more analysis and study.
Vice Mayor Stein stated that he had no idea that an item of such
magnitude was placed on this morning's program. He said that as
an insurance agent, he does not have enough facts to refute what
Mr. Pilon presented. He stated that he would like this item tabled
for a workshop because this is not a simple item and involves 300 or
more people who depend on their insurance through this plan. He
added that if Council makes a mistake, it could be a very costly one.
He remarked that he does not know if the benefit deviation is better or
worse than what the City has now.
C/M Munitz asked for input from the Finance Director. Steve Wood,
Finance Director, stated that Tracy Stafford was present and that
Mr. Stafford had reviewed all proposals from health insurance pro-
viders. Mr. Wood advised that the maximum expense to the City under
the proposal is $60,000.00 less than currently being paid in premiums
to the Florida Municipal Health Trust and at worse, the City would
save $60,000.00 even with the incurrence of catastrophic losses,
because the City has both aggregate and individual estoppels guaranteed
by Sun Life of Canada.
Vice Mayor Stein advised that a Workshop should be held with the
Finance Department to go through the programs. Mr. Wood advised
Council that the City's premium expires on June lst and tabling
the item would force the City to continue with Florida Municipal
Health Trust. C/M Munitz asked if there were any way to do this
on a temporary basis. Mr. Pilon advised that under contract, there
is a 30-day notice of cancellation at any time with Florida
Municipal Health Trust tenure of service.
Vice Mayor Stein informed the Finance Director that this item should
have been before Council 30 days ago to avoid such deadlines. He
stated that this type of action is not fair to Council and MOVED to
TABLE the item for a Workshop. C/M Munitz SECONDED.

18. Grants - Status report by Mitchell Ceasar, Grants Consultant.
Discussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Reports given by
Mr. Mitchell Ceasar included statements
on the Sewer Grant, which will be reported
as a follow-up by the City Manager at a
later date.
Mr. Mitchell Ceasar presented Grant reports as follows:
1. University Drive Widening - The County has been moving very
slow in providing the computer printout on traffic flow because
of their move from the County Courthouse to the Burdine Building.
Action is proceeding regarding monies to be collected around
University Drive that is earmarked for this expansion. Negotiations
are_Qrogressing well for obtaining $150-$175,000.00 in planning
money.
2. Commercial Boulevard Expansion - action is progressing well.
Some rights -of -way may not be made easily accessible to Tamarac
but other means are being devised to get that property, to help
with this expansion.
3. Park Grants - Mr. Ceasar is working on a list of Do's and Don'ts
in applying for Park Grants that will hopefully help us in avoiding
pitfalls in actually obtaining the Grants.
4. Ranking on the Sewer Grant - Mr. Ceasar did not participate in
this project initially but is now involved and further developments
will be reported as they occur.
Mr. Ceasar presented a Legislative report as follows:
1. House Bill 85 - creates a polygraph protection to prohibit
employers from requiring polygraph testing. This Bill may not get
out of the House and he does not believe that it will be a
problem for the City for this year at least.
2. House Bill 150 - this would increase the authority for the City
to invest surplus funds. It is progressing well, has passed the
House and is now in the Senate.
3. Bill presented by Senator Weinstein relating to education and
hazardous walking conditions providing for State funding for trans-
portation for certain school children living within a 2-mile limit
under certain circumstances. This might impact Tamarac Elementary
School and there may be a positive financial impact for Tamarac, if
the bill is passed. The Bill is not moving well and is now in the
Senate Appropriations Committee.

Vice Mayor Stein reminded Mr. Ceasar that he was to follow up his
oral reports with a written report, but most important was the
statements that Mr. Ceasar had just become active in the Waste
Disposal Grant refusal and are trying to rectify some of the problems.
Vice Mayor Stein stated that this w_as probably the most -.important
Grant to face Tamarac and the City has had a Grants man on the payroll
from the beginning. He asked why Mr. Ceasar was not involved in this _
Grant from the beginning since he is allegedly the City's contact
on Grants. The Vice Mayor advised that he has been trying to get an
answer on this for two weeks and wants to know why the City Staff did
not avail itself of the Grants person, or if he was not available when
the City needed his services. He questioned the reasoning for having
a Grants person when the City was promised that it would get 50 to 75%
from this Grant, and are now getting nothing. He stated that he has
been receiving telephone calls questioning this and where was the
Grants person. In response to such calls when the Vice Mayor explains
to callers that the Grants person was not involved with the Grant,
their first question is why; and the Vice Mayor stated that he would
also like to know why.
Mr. Ceasar responded that the City hired Williams, Hatfield, & Stoner
as consultants for that Grant, with Mr. Tony Nolan representing that
firm. Mr. Ceasar stated that this was a very specific application with
great technical requirements and Mr. Ceasar assumed that when the firm
was hired, they took the responsibility for not only preparing the Grant
but seeing it through the processes. He commented that because of their
assumption of the project and the technicality, that they handled it.
He added that this was his impression.
C/M Munitz stated that he had hoped that Tony Nolan would be at this
meeting, and MOVED that any further discussion on this Grant be delayed
until contact be made with Mr. Nolan. C/M Munitz said that while the
question directed to Mr. Ceasar is proper, the more serious question
should be directed to Mr. Nolan because when -looking at 55-75% against the
result of zero, an explanation is due the Council. He added that Mr.
Nolan should be here today, not at any future date.
Mayor Kravitz asked the City Manager to contact Mr. Nolan's office to
have Mr. Nolan available for the afternoon session, to report after the
Public Hearings. City Manager Stuurmans stated that she would contact
Mr. Nolan but added that, as Mr. Ceasar had indicated, since the pre-
. _. __..-.-_... -... .. -
liminary priority list was published there have been ongoing discussions
between the in-house staff, the consulting engineers, and the engineering
Grant people at the Department of Environmental Regulations and those
to whom they report, such as the Secretary of Department of Environmental
Regulations. She reported that tomorrow there is a scheduled visit by
members of the City's staff and Mr. Hermesmeyer who is representing
Mr. Nolan, with the representatives who have. evaluated Tamarac's Grant
format. She advised that the sensitivity of those ongoing discussions
are such that the specificsshould not be delved into at this
time. C/M Munitz asked if the City Manager would prefer that Council
not have Mr. Nolan or Mr. Hermesmeyer at this time to which the City Manager
responded that she would prefer that that be the case. She added that
she did not wish to encumber meetings already scheduled for Wednesday
but she suggested a follow-up report by Mr. Nolan or Mr. Hermesmeyer
at that time. C/M Munitz stated that since it has been the basic
principle of this Council to rely on the City's Staff and professionals,
he wished to withdraw his motion.
Vice Mayor Stein asked the City Manager why Mr. Ceasar was not asked
to help with this Grant originally and she replied that Mr. Ceasar's
help was not essential in that the initial request for inclusion form
which had to be filed with the State by March 13th, was primarily an
engineering document, with engineering technology as the part and parcel
of that package. She added that it was reviewed by engineers and the
evaluation of that document has been made by engineering administrators
of the DER. Their findings will be the subject of a review by their
superiors with the initial list coming out a week and a half ago,
Mr. Ceasar's help was then requested to insure that Tamarac's request
was given full,appropriate, and equitable consideration. C/M Munitz
asked if the City Manager would have any objection if the City Engineer
came in and tried to answer some of these questions and the City Manager
replied that she would prefer to hold discussion until. Wednesday.
-6- 5/23/84

Mayor Kravitz announced that although this item is not a Public
Hearing, it is his desire to open to -questions from the public at
these meetings.
Vickie Beech, speaking as Chairman of the Legislative Division of
Concerned Citizens, advised that they held a Board of Directors'
meeting last night and were very distressed over the notoriety con-
cerning this Grant. She stated that the Concerned Citizens advocated
endorsement of the Bond Issue and felt that being 40th or 41st on
the list took issue with several of the legislators in Tallahassee
to inquire why Tamarac was neglected or had no standing. Ms. Beech
advised that from these inquiries, it seemed that Mr. Ceasar should
have been well aware of the status of these Grants and the legislators
deny that they were aware that Tamarac was in need of Grants. Ms.
Beech stated that she represents the Board in asking Mr. Ceasar why
he made no issue or any effort to pursue the position of these
Grants or to relate this knowledge to the Council. Mr. Ceasar replied
that he was not called upon by the City to participate until one week
ago and he could not inform the legislature on a particular Grant.
He also advised that, quite often, succeeding in Grants is not always
necessarily by the participation of legislators. He added that quite
often Staff Beaurocrats are essential and legislators are called in at
different points depending on the Grants, depending on who the legislator
is and what committee they are on,,.and what strengths they possess with
which department.
C/M Munitz asked Mr. Ceasar for clarification on this answer since the
Councilman believed Ms. Beech's question to be why Mr. Ceasar waited
to be asked to participate and why his participation was not necessary
from the beginning. Mr. Ceasar responded that he does not and cannot act
unilaterally without some power from the Council and the City adminis-
tration. C/M Munitz pointed out that Mr. Ceasar is employed by the
City as its Grants man. . Mr. Ceasar stated that he cannot act without
direction by Council or Staff and cannot participate in a project that
he was told was a technical project, in which he was not needed.
Mr. Bernie Hart, President of the Tamarac Presidents' Council, stated
that he has received numerous phone calls since publication of the
statements in the paper regarding this Grant, questioning what happened.
Mr. Hart advised that he has been unable to answer the citizens' calls
and suggested that a Public Hearing be held on this subject as soon as
possible so that the public will know what's happening. He stated his
belief that City Officials were negligent in not asking for Mr. Ceasar's
assistance and recommendations in this matter. He said that, likewise,
Mr. Ceasar as the City's Grants man should have offered such assistance.
In regard to Mr. Ceasar's earlier reports, Mr. Hart questioned whether
Mr. Ceasar was hired as a Grants man to obtain Grants for Tamarac or as
a Legislative Represenative to inform the public of bills pending in
Tallahassee. Mr. Hart advised that various citizens have contacted
Representative Deutsch and Senator Weinstein and both said that they
were never asked to assist Tamarac in obtaining this Grant; yet the
Newspapers report that Representative Deutsch was helpful in obtaining
this Grant for the City of Plantation.
C/M Stelzer advised that the City hired professional help in Williams,
Hatfield & Stoner and to ask Mr. Ceasar to assist these professionals
was ridiculous. He compared this to a need for a delicate operation
which required a specialist and stated that the family physician would
not be requested to assist in this operation. C/M Stelzer stated that
Mr. Ceasar should not be expected to work on a Grant that the City has
hired professionals to handle, and added that if Mr. Nolan were brought
to the meeting he would be able to provide the answers. Mr. Hart asked
C/M Stelzer if ever knew of a case where a family physician did not
consult with a specialist for his own patient.
Vice Mayor Stein suggested that the discussion be terminated. The City
Manager has advised that any discussion might hinder tomorrow's dis-
cussions and that should be enough. He stated that all those concerned
should have received proposals and projections from Williams, Hatfield
& Stoner regarding this Grant. He said that this firm was hired for
this project and it would be absurd to expect that a Grants man should
be involved when it was allegedly an engineering situation and did not
need a Grants man. He added that the blame should not be put on Mr.
-7- 5/23/84
/cmt
Ceasar; it should be put on those people who sold everyone the bill
of goods, presented the project, and stated that the worse that the
City will get is 55%. The Vice Mayor concluded that they are the
ones that should be questioned, not Mr. Ceasar who had absolutely
nothing to do; and asked that discussion be terminated.
Mayor Kravitz asked for a motion on this subject. C/M Munitz MOVED
to terminate the discussion and C/M Dunne SECONDED. Mayor Kravitz
announced no action is required.

16. City Council Expense Vouchers - Discussion and possible action to
establish a procedure whereby the Council members' business expense
vouchers will be approved by the Council on the consent portion of the
agenda.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Ttem
held for afternoon. (See Page 24)
C/M Munitz expressed his concern that: (1) that portion of the Charter
regarding expenses is meaningless and is a detriment to any positive
accomplishment; and (2) there are no guidelines as to what expenses
may or may not be included. He feels that the problems before Council
indicate the need for a Workshop to establish guidelines because
without such guidelines, Council cannot approve its own expenses.
He said that placing the approval of expenses on the Consent Agenda
might be the right way to go but he does not feel it can be done
without specific guidelines. He referred to discussions with the
Finance Department and stated that Council expenses also involve the
City Manager and the City Attorney as Council employees. C/M Munitz
suggested piggy -backing IRS regulations, in that Council would
approve only expenses that are approved by the IRS such as 20.5( a
mile for travel expenses. He feels that without guidelines, this
item can not be resolved to the satisfaction of the people.
Vice Mayor Stein stated that nowhere does the IRS say that Council
expenses are illegal deductions, only that if such are taken they
will be subject to taxation. He advised that this afternoon when
Item #33 is read, the Charter Amendment will provide specific guide-
lines which can be used in approving Council, expenses. He suggested
adopting the guideline that this shall include all expenses within
a 50-mile radius of the City of Tamarac, to verify a maximum cap
on Council expenses. He feels that with such guidelines, approval
can be made by the City Manager under the Charter and would not have
to be included in the Consent Agenda for approval by Council.
C/M Munitz MOVED that further consideration of Item #16 be Tabled
until the Public Hearing of Item #33 this afternoon. Vice Mayor
Stein SECONDED.

17. July 4th Celebration - Discussion and possible action to authorize
City co-sponsorship of a program with the Veterans.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Authorized Parks
& Recreation to proceed with celebration
in an amount not to exceed $6,300.00, which
would be transferred from Contingency Funds.
Transfer of these funds to be included under
Consent Agenda at next regular Council
Meeting.
Parks & Recreation Director Sharon Ellis reported results of a meeting
between the Veterans Croup and the Recreation Department last week.
Three activities were discussed: (1) Fireworks at $4,000.00; (2) a
show featuring one of the Sesame Street characters at $2,000.00 for
three shows; and a Band at $300.00; the total program costing $6,300.00.
She reported that Ambassador Bank had declined co-sponsorship of the
event. The program is scheduled for Wednesday, July 4th, at Tamarac Park
and they have been working with the Fire Department on this project.
City Manager Stuurmans stated that if Council wishes to have this first -
occasion City sponsor -Veterans Croup 4th of July event, the funds could
come from the Contingency Fund. She advised that during the course of
budget discussions last year, Veterans Alliance representatives made a
presentation and Council agreed that they would match -fund up to $1,500.00
any donations or contributions by the Veterans Group for the celebration.
-11- 5/23/84
/cmt
She said that it was her understanding that fund raising efforts have
not been productive and they would not be able to go to that amount
either, which would minimize the City's activity for July 4th.
Vice Mayor Stein suggested searching for another co-sponsor since the
Bank declined. The City Manager asked Ms. Ellis if action could be
held until the June 13th meeting and Ms. Ellis said that a commitment
must be made to the entertainment. C/M Munitz asked that "as may be
needed" be added to the amount of $6300.00 in order to approve this
item and still search for additional co --sponsorship. Vice Mayor Stein

not an ordinance against soliciting and Mayor Kravitz advised that
the ordinance states that any money contributed must be approved by
Council. He added that Council would be directing that subsidy be
sought from another organization. C/M Stelzer asked if the Veterans
Alliance was aware that this event is planned for this year and Ms.
Ellis replied that most of the members attending the meeting last week
were new and not aware of the agreements made last year; the discussion
centered on this year's event. She added that she had spoken to George
Herchenson of the Chamber of Commerce and he felt that asking merchants
for support of this event would conflict with his current membership
drive and advised that he knew of no one interested in involvement at
that time. Ms. Ellis advised that there are other means to pursue

$480.00 for Tamarac's share of $15,000 total cost.
City Manager Stuurmans reported that a letter from Executive Director
of the League, Walter Falck, asked for cooperation of all participating
cities in an ongoing analysis project and added that the City's share
would be $480.00. She advised that C/M Stelzer attended the League

C/M Stelzer reported from the Broward League of Cities Meeting that
the Solid Waste Recovery Project was discussed as a $400,000,000 project;

League $15,000.00 and all Cities indicated their participation, of
which Tamarac's share is $480.00. He recommended that the fee be paid.

C/M Stelzer reported that a letter had been received from the Community
Development Division indicating that the term of office of the municipal
representative expires May 30, 1984, and requested that membership be
indicated and appropriate resolution be forwarded. City Manager Stuurmans
stated that in 1981 the City participated in this Group but decided that
it would ultimately try to veer off from the County consortium and become
an independent small City under the Community Development block grant.
A three-year waiting period concludes this year and she stated that C/M
Munitz had participated in this group. She added that C/M Munitz should
recognize that projects for the City of Tamarac when combined with the
overall County group, were never given the priority or could meet the
criteria of the County group. As a result, the City has chosen not to
participate since it is the intent to file as an independent City this
fall, to be recognized under the Small Cities Community Development
Block Grant Program. C/M Munitz advised that as a member of the Federal
Block Grant Committee, it was the unanimous opinion of the Committee
that the City opt to be excluded and would be to the City's benefit.
Vice Mayor Stein MOVED that the City not join the County Community

ACTION: Authorized City
proceed with settlement in
of $5,600.00 to Triad
-- .. .
City Manager Stuurmans advised that in 1982, when the City was constructirF
Soccer Field #2 on Tract 27, there was an agreement with a representative
of Triad and the City's former Public Works Director for a trade-off of
services, which amounted to $12,500.00 in rough figures. She stated that
the balance of the work that the City was going to do in exchange for
Triad's services was not concluded prior to the time that the Director
left the services of the City and subsequently Triad filed a claim against
the City for $8,583.80. This matter has been pending due to various
circumstances and the validity of the claim has been verified.
From discussion with in-house City Staff, $6,500.00 worth of services
were performed and an offer of settlement was made to Triad for $5,000.00.
At this point an ultimate amount of $5,600.00 was reached and the City
Manager recommended this be approved because of the quality of service
performed by Triad and their active participation with the Recreation
Department. She feels that it is an equitable settlement and that it
should be approved.

b) C/M Stelzer asked who made up the lease and the CityManager--stated
that it was prepared by Mr. Henning's Office and that the reason for
going to a more formal arrangement was that with the transfer of the
utility into the 201 program, personnel are not available at all hours
and the structure of the parking arrangement with the users must be
more formal than it has been in the past. She added that this lease
sets forth those arrangements between the City and the various space

28. Southgate Gardens Condominium - Discussion and possible action to
authorize expenditure of City funds for the installation of an 8-inch
water line running along Southgate Boulevard in front of Southgate
Gardens Condominium with the work proposed to be done by Cardinal
Industries or its contractor.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved
expenditure of City funds up
to $30,000.00 for the installation
to be done by Cardinal Industries
or its contractor.
City Manager Stuurmans advised that this has been discussed with the
City Attorney, City Engineer, and her office and stated that some time
ago a developers agreement was executed by Cardinal which provided that
they would construct the line and the City would contribute a maximum
amount of $30,000.00 for that portion of the line west of the Cardinal
properties. She advised that that was going to be done as a special
assessment against the property owners which would involve a search of
the tax roles, and a separate billing to each of the individual unit
owners for the pro-rata cost of the City's share. She added that this
became a nightmare in terms of the procedural problems that would result.
In the evaluation, Staff has tried to equate this to the special drainage
work that was corrected in various portions of the City following comple-
tion by the developer and Staff found that since this was an oversight
of development at the time.it would be an appropriate expenditure for the
City to make. She added that by the time the City takes the proper steps
necessary, the costs may be doubled if it is not done. Staff recommended
approval as a City expenditure.
C/M Munitz asked Mr. Ruf what responsibility the Cardinal Industries has
and Mr. Ruf replied that Cardinal Industries is constructing the line
needed in their properties which are east of the Southgate Gardens Condo-
minium. He added that Southgate Gardens was developed by a separate
developer who conveyed the east portion to Cardinal Industries and as
part of Cardinal Industries' site plan approval and various other
developmental permits, they agreed to construct the line and finish the
work necessary to just east of University Drive. He stated that the
previous Council devised the special assessment to the Condominium owners.
There are in excess of 100 owners in that Condominium and Mr. Ruf stated
his observations are (1) Under the special assessment district procedure,
Council must act as a Board of Adjustment to decide how much each unit
owner will pay, how it will be paid; and (2) Historically this Council
has not required property owners to pay for improvements that were un-
finished for one reason or another.
--16- 5/23/84
/cmt
� � r
C/M Munitz asked who was to'have finished this work and why it was not
finished. He referred to an authorization by the previous Council to
engage Williams, Hatfield & Stoner to prepare necessary documents for
the special assessment district and to determine the method of assess-
ment. He added that the cost of this work was to be added to the special
assessment district to be all-inclusive and at no cost to the City.
City Manager Stuurmans advised that this goes back to many years ago
to the initial improvement of that land section and the original
developers of the Southgate Garden complex. This was approximately
ten years ago and the fire flow line that is needed now is because of
the subsequent development beyond what those people anticipated. She
stated that Cardinal is doing what they need for their portion of the
project but the balance of the impact spreads to these units that have
been in existence for a long period of time. C/M Munitz asked if this
responsibility is the City's or the developers and Mr. Ruf advised that
the developer is gone, and added that Cardinal's work is for their own
property and Southgate Gardens is a missing link that must be tied into
the system.
Mr. Ruf advised that. Council has three options: (1) don't construct the
tie-in, which the City Engineer reports is inappropriate; (2) have the
unit owners pay the expense although it was not anticipated by them at
the time of purchase; and (3) have the City pay for the construction
understanding the need to have appropriate pressure to fight fires.
C/M Munitz stated that he is not debating the need for it but he is
trying to fix responsibility by finding out who created this missing
link.
Vice Mayor Stein stated that the problem is that 10 years a -go, the City
"goofed" in allowing the developer to install the size pipe that was
installed. He understands that the developer complied with necessary
requirements at the time however that poses the problems that are created
now. The Vice Mayor's concern is that the present Council is inheriting
so many problems that were not obvious previously,and that it opens the
present Council to extreme criticism. He agrees with the decision that
the special assessment is wrong and he asked why this was held so long.
C/M Munitz agreed with the Vice Mayor and feels it is important that the
record show that the previous administration "goofed", and that this
administration is suffering from errors of a previous administration.
C/M Stelzer advised that at the time the first fire line was installed,
it complied completely with the code and the fact that additional units
are being built makes it necessary to have a larger line.
C/M Stelzer MOVED to approve payment of the $30,000.00. Vice Mayor
Stein SECONDED.

Alan Ruf said this concerned whether or not the City Council member
to this Committee should be ex-officio and non -voting. Fie said he
reviewed the Charter section and the Code section and there is no
provision in either that this should be ex-officio and non -voting,
therefore, he sees no reason why it should not be a regular member
of the Committee with voting rights. He said he checked with Jon
Henning and told him what his opinion was and he had no contrary
opinions. V/M Stein said this was discussed this morning and was
only awaiting reaffirmation by the Attorneys. He said in the Charter
it provides as to what the duties are and, according to the Charter,
this member of the PIC is a full member.
C/M Munitz asked the Consultant City Attorney if it is compulsory
to appoint a Council member to this Committee and Council said it
is compulsory. He said feeling as he does that a member of Council
should not sit on a Committee unless as a liaison, he MOVED to
TABLE any further consideration of this item. Mayor Kravitz called
for a Second and finding none, the Motion died for lack of a Second.
V/M Stein said he feels this is contrary to the Charter and the

He said a member of a Committee does not have to vote, only a member
of an elected board must vote. C/M Stelzer concurred that it is
necessary to appoint someone from the Council for this position.

V/M Stein for this position and V/M Stein accepted the nomination.
Mayor Kravitz asked the Consultant City Attorney if it were legally
possible to have 2 members of Council on a Committee, one as a

V/M Stein said since the last reading of this proposed Ordinance
there have been some changes. He said it now reads "for activities
within a 50 mile radius of the City Hall of the City of Tamarac"
and that the only way any additional expenses can be given to
either Council or Mayor is by special permission of Council. C/M
Stelzer suggested adding that the language "outside the 50 mile
limit prior to expenditures". V/M Stein agreed to this.
Alan Ruf read Temp. Ord. #1113 by title and C/M Stelzer said Council
has agreed on a 9/4/84 date and he recommended putting in the title,
"for a referendum to be held on 9/4/84". V/M Stein said Section 1
would be changed as well. Mayor Kravitz opened the public hearing.
Vickie Beech, resident, asked the difference between this and the
requirement for vouchers. V/M Stein said if this is passed by the
people it would do away with the voucher system and will be a flat
fee. Bernie Hart, resident, said as an executive he experienced
Tape this as well and as the corporation grew, it became necessary to
6 change the method of reimbursements for travel, etc. He said this
Ordinance would be in line with what is being done today with most
business firms. Melanie Reynolds, Charter Board member, said Council
is dealing with public funds and is in a different category than
private business. She read into the record a Resolution passed
last night by the Charter Board concerning this item.
V/M Stein said the majority of the cities in Broward County now
operate on a flat rate for expenses. Mayor Kravitz closed the
public hearing with no further response. C/M Munitz said he would
like to see this Ordinance in its final form before Council acts
upon it. He said he would like to table this until then. V/DI
Stein MOVED APPROVAL of Temp. Ord. #1113 on second and final reading,
as corrected, SECONDED by C/M Dunne. V/M Stein said the memorandum
which amends is in the final form and after the words "outside the
50 mile limit" on Line 9, should be added the words "prior to
expenditure". He said on Line 24, Page 2 of the amendment, the
following should be removed, "the City Council, by Ordinance, may
establish procedures and guidelines regarding City Council expenses".
He said the guidelines have already been inserted. He said the date
is now September 4th. C/M Munitz said there are other aspects that
are not included in this Ordinance such as when the monthly allowance
shall start, what the amounts should be included in the monthly
allowance as far as the total year is concerned, -etc.

GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE/FINANCIAL
The following is a verbatim transcript from the 5/23/84 Council meeting, as
requested by C/M Munitz:
Tape 16. City Council fxDe
nse Vouchers -- Discussion and possible action to
6 establish a procedure whereby the Council members' business expense
vouchers will be approved by the Council on the consent portion of
the agenda.
Mayor Kravitz: This was tabled this morning after Item 33, which we just
finished.
C/M Munitz: Mr. Mayor, if I may, since I was the proponent of this...
Mayor Kravitz: Go ahead.
C/M Munitz: The purpose of my including this after Item 33 is, of course,
obvious. We now have guidelines, if the Ordinance is approved by the people.
If it is not approved, and until such time as it is approved, we do have to
establish guidelines. On that basis, obviously, the most logical thing to
do, assuming we are all very anxious to act logically, is to have the same
procedure prevail until such time as, if and when, the people decide to
change the Charter. So that, on that basis, putting it on the Consent Agenda
for the City Council to approve, in essence, becomes unnecessary. If we are
to go on the same basis of within a 50 mile radius, we are not going to sit
here with a compass trying to designate whether the expenses are within 50
miles or not. We are not saying what may be included, all we are saying is
that anything that you spend within a radius of 50 miles may be included.
There are no negatives, only positives. For that reason ... with that logic,
I see no reason to put it on the City Council Consent Agenda.
Mayor Kravitz: Vice Mayor.
V/M Stein: I agree with C/M Stelzer...
C/M Stelzer: Who, me?
V/M Stein: I'm sorry.
C/M Stelzer: You're getting in trouble today.
V/M Stein: I'm getting in trouble. No, I mean with Ray Munitz, actually.
I hope you'll agree with all of. us, Jack. I don't think we should have it
on Consent Agenda, I think that the City Manager now will have, if we adopt
this, O.K.? Will now have the guideline. She will not have to ask, "Is
this or is this not?" If the expenditure is within the City of Tamarac's
50 mile radius then that Council person is bound by their restriction of
dollars spent. If it's outside of that thing, they have to come back to the
Council and ask permission to spend that. And, once again, as C/M Stelzer
said, prior to the expenditure, not after the expenditure.
C/M Munitz: Point of information, if you're through, Mr. Vice Mayor, don't
we need a temporary Ordinance to cover these instructions?
V/M Stein: Yes, I was going to say, no, I think a Resolution is sufficient.
I think we need a Resolution now, the Council from this time on until it
is either changed by Charter amendment because if it isn't changed we just
keep on going, that we shall adopt the guidelines set forth in the proposed
Charter amendment in that, Council and Mayor's expenses that they have been
allowed under the Charter, shall include all expenses within the radius of
50 miles of the City of Tamarac, the City Hall of Tamarac. In order to
receive any additional compensation, it must be approved by the City Council
prior to the expenditure.
C/M Stelzer: Mr. Mayor.
V/M Stein: I so MOVE.
C/M Stelzer: Let me talk before you MOVE.
-- 24 -- 5/23/84
/pm
Uri
V/M Stein: All right.
Mayor Kravitz: You didn't move yet.
C/M Stelzer: Syd, you're putting this exactly back in the same position we've
been all these years. If any kind of expense report comes in to the City
Manager or the Finance Director and you say if it's within a 50 mile radius,
pay it. May I ask the Mayor one question before I go on? Why are you
holding up the $20.00 check for my traveling expenses for the month of April?
Mayor Kravitz: I don't believe that's in order right now.
C/M Stelzer: It is in order. I want to show the example.
Mayor Kravitz: There's no examples. I don't think it refers to this...
C/M Stelzer: Let me continue then.
V/M Stein: By the way, point of order. Even if you had a Consent Agenda, and
he didn't sign the check, how would you get it?
C/M Stelzer: After it's approved by Council.
V/M Stein: No, but I'm saying, what if he didn't want to sign?
C/M Stelzer: I don't know if he didn't sign or not but he sent it back and,
let me finish what I'm trying to bring out.
C/M Munitz: If that was approved by Council, he must sign it.
C/M Stelzer: Well, let me bring out what I'm trying to prove. If there is
an item on an expense account which is not City business, why should you
put the burden on the City Manager or the City Finance Director to say to
the Councilman, "You are not entitled to this particular payment". That's
what you are doing. You can't just accept... that's what you were doing all
these years. You are accepting cart blanche, you are saying whatever a
Council person sends in, pay. I paid ten dollars for Chamber of Commerce
membership and the Mayor objected to my paying ten dollars for paying the
membership. I wouldn't be a member if I wasn't on the Council, a member
of the Council. Now, supposing somebody puts in any kind of expenses they
want. They put in expenses where they don't go. Now, the Mayor went to
the Temple on the 24th for services and he indicates it on his report...
V/M Stein: Now wait a minute.
Mayor Kravitz: Not only are you out of order, but I don't think you know
what you're talking about. Let's drop the subject.
C/M Stelzer: I don't want to, I'm still talking, I've got the floor.
Mayor Kravitz: I'll call you out of order.
C/M Stelzer: You can't, not when I've got the floor. I'm talking about the
Consent Agenda, you want to take it off the Consent Agenda, to throw it back
to the Manager and the Finance Director and I say, that's wrong. You'll have
the same thing that's been going on all these years. I'd like to see it put
on the Consent Agenda and let the Council people approve it.
V/M Stein: Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Kravitz: Vice Mayor.
V/M Stein: What you're doing, Jack, I don't think you realize it is taking
it off the City Manager and throwing it in our lap and we're not going to
know any more than she does because by Consent Agenda... you're not going to
have the Council go around measuring mileage. A Councilman puts a slip in
for X amount of miles, all you're going to do is have it on the agenda and
we'll approve it because nobody else is going to attack it, unless somebody
gets up and says I know he didn't go there.

C/M Stelzer: You don't want to start that.
V/M Stein: I don't want to start that here. All right. There will be City
Council meetings here that will be bedlam. It is her duty, as the City
Manager, to approve these things. If it's within the law, she doesn't have
to go check the mileage. If somebody wants to challenge, they go to the City
Manager and say, "wait a minute, don't approve this because it's fraudulant
and we ought to take it up". That's the way you do it in any business. Until
a charge is made, it's a valid voucher. That's the point.
C/M Stelzer: Then, what you're saying is don't change the procedure from the
way it is now.
V/M Stein: No, we do change the procedure because here's the flaw. We had
a lot of expenses where somebody went to Palm Beach or somebody went to Dade
County and we're saying no, every...
C/M Stelzer: That's not new.
V/M Stein: It isn't?
Mayor Kravitz: Let's not have cross discussion, please. C/M Munitz, you
wanted the floor.
C/M Munitz: Of course, you realize, not only by the wording of the Ordinance,
but by what we're discussing now, you are removing the requirement of the
expanse being on City business because I haven't heard anything that said
"within a 50 mile radius on City business".
V/M Stein: Now, wait a minute, doesn't the Ordinance say that?
C/M Munitz: ,lust a minute, Syd. "On City business"?
V/M Stein: Of course.
C/M Munitz: Oh, yes, it does.
C/M Stelzer: It says "necessary expenses". It's necessary to you but not for
the business.
V/M Stein: C/M Munitz, when we make the Resolution, I'll put "on City business".
Now, may I MOVE?
Mayor Kravitz: Let's MOVE.
V/M Stein: I MOVE that the City Council vouchers, within their bonds as set
forth by the City Charter, be still approved by the City Manager and authorized,
however, with the restriction that all expenses within a radius of the City
Hall of the City of Tamarac be considered under that blanket allowance.
In order to get extraordinary expenses, a person would have to come to the
City Council for approval of these expenses prior to expending these sums.
C/M Munitz: Correction, Mr. Vice Mayor, you used the word "allowance", this
is not an allowance, this is still going to be by voucher until the Ordinance
is passed.
V/M Stein: Excuse me, well, it's an allowance under the Charter, the maximum
allowance.
C/M Munitz: For the fact that the Charter is not clear, which is what is
starting all of this problem.
V/M Stein: No, no. This is a maximum allowance in the Charter, that's what
I'm talking about. You can't go beyond that maximum allowance.
Mayor Kravitz: We have a MOTION, do we have a SECOND?
C/M Dunne: I'll SECOND.
Mayor Kravitz: We have a SECOND, any more discussion? Vicki?

C/M Munitz: While Vicki comes up here, does this mean that we are removing
the placing of the City Council expense vouchers on the City Council agenda,
because we have had no motion.
V/M Stein: I Moved that this be not in the City Council, but at the City
Manager. ..by Motion.
C/M Munitz: In other words, you're combining that in there? Thank you.
Vicki Beech: Point of information. Am I to understand that you are removing
all vouchers? In other words...
V/M Stein: No! We're not removing any vouchers.
Vicki Beech: You are still going to continue presenting vouchers.
V/M Stein: Absolutely.
Mayor Kravitz: That's correct.
Vicki Beech: You're not coming through with.this discussion. We're under the
assumption that you're waiving the vouchers.
V/M Stein: No, Vicki, we said this before. The only way we can obviate the
use of vouchers is by a Charter amendment. We're bound to that. And that's
why we have two things, one is for the people to decide can we do it, this
is to put guidelines on the vouchers.
Mayor Kravitz: This is guidelines between now and September 4.
C/M Munitz: Vicki, in other words, what we're doing is that we're saying,
"make your peace with the IRS, we don't want to get involved, in any manner,
shape or form as to what you put on that voucher, if it's within a 50 mile
radius for City business, it can be approved."
Vicki Beech: The reason I'm questioning this is because this is a heated
feeling throughout the City at this time and there is an assumption that
you're trying to waive you're right of the vouchers. That you want a blanket
V/M Stein: The only way that will be waived is by Charter amendment.
Mayor Kravitz: Let's not all get in on discussion. Everybody's giving their
personal view. What we're doing now, actually, is making guidelines between
now and September 4 when the public will vote. That's all we're doing. We're
not concerned with IRS or anybody else. This is strictly for the City. Ben
Lieber, did you want to speak?
Ben Lieber: I'm Ben Lieber, Mainlands 12. Mr. Mayor and members of Council,
I've been listening to this discussion and not once did I hear the word
"reimbursement". These are not gifts to you, you are supposed to be re-
imbursed through expenditures. You are actually reverting to the system you
had last week, last month and for all the prior years. You are again placing
a responsibility on an employee of the City who serves at your pleasure. This
is wrong. There are three CPAs in this Council. It would be easy to establish
guidelines of what is a valid expenditure and reimburseable and what is not.
I think this should be done immediately, no matter what the outcome of the
referendum is because you have no assurance that it will be passed or accepted.
You should have guidelines established and put in place. If the referendum
is accepted by the people, it will replace what you're doing, but you
definitely should put some control on what you're doing and it should not be
in the form of a Consent Agenda. It should be an actual, valid checking on
these expenditures and passed by someone.
Mayor Kravitz: Thank you, Mr. Lieber. We have a Motion, we have a Second,
is that right City Clerk?
Marilyn Bertholf: C/M Dunne Aye

45. Bike Path on NW 57 Street - Status report by Consultant
City Planner. Discussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: The City Planner
was instructed to proceed with whatever
he deems necessary which would result in
construction of the bike path on NW 57 St.
with no additional fees charged to the City.
Richard Rubin said 57 St. was put in as four lanes due to the
fact that Mr. Behring did not have the cooperation of Lauderhill
to build Commercial Blvd. He said since Commercial Blvd. has
been installed in 6 lanes, the amount of traffic on 57 St. does
not warrant a four lane divided road. He said there are some
options available regarding a bike way, since the four lanes
are already there, they have the asphalt already for the bike
ways. He said there have been suggestions to make the north
two lanes into the bikeway and the south two lanes open for
traffic. He said the only cost that would be incurred is in
putting up markers and painting stripes on the pavement which
state "Bike Lane", "Do Not Drive Here", etc.
Mr. Rubin said if Council is interested in exploring either of
these alternatives, they could authorize the City Planner to do
the studies or instruct the City Engineering Department to pursue
this and return with a study. He said he would work with the
Engineering Department as part of his retainer. C/M Munitz said
he has asked for this to be agendized and he asked Mr. Rubin if
he forsees any problems with the County or anyone if this proceeds.
Mr. Rubin said there are only 2 problems which could both be
overcome, first, coordinating this with the County so that it
is done with the approval of every traffic agency related to it.
Second, there are some shopping centers that might feel that
traffic lanes being closed might hurt their business, therefore,
Mr. Rubin recommended the City meet with those property owners
for their participation. He said this could proceed as far west
as 94th Ave.
C/M Munitz asked if there have been any studies made from a
safety aspect as to which method might be preferable. Mr. Rubin
said not on this strip of road. He said in 1978 the City was
considering closing down two lanes and this might be easier to
explore. C/M Stelzer asked where this would begin and Mr. Rubin
said they would probably have this tied into the sidewalk on
Commercial Blvd. and this would be part of the study. C/M
Munitz said there is no walklight at University Dr. and Commercial
Blvd. and he asked Mr. Rubin if it was ever considered to put a
walklight in that area. Mr. Rubin said normally the County must
do a study for this type of thing and this should be included
with a traffic engineering study.
C/M Munitz MOVED to authorize the Consultant City Planner to
proceed with whatever he deems necessary which would result in
the construction of a bike path on NW 57 St. with no additional
fees to the City, SECONDED by C/M Stelzer.

a) Mr. Ruf read Temp. Reso. #3142 by title and Richard Rubin said
F & R is proposing their largest venture in the City to date
containing 544 units. He said although the site plan is proposed
for the entire 544 units, the Water and Sewer Agreement is for
Phase I which goes east from Nob Hill Rd. and includes a recreation
area and the first group of over 100 units. He said once the
site plan is approved the applicant will be able to build each
phase, however, the Water and Sewer Agreement is only for Phase
I. He said on Page 4 of the Developers Review Status Sheet he
recommended that all development should be consistent with the
final site plan, no building permit is to be issued for any
phase other than Phase I prior to Council approving subsequent
Water and Sewer Agreement for Phase 2, 3 and 4. He said future
reviews by Council will not be for site plans but only Water and
Sewer Agreements. He said Stipulation 9 granted them the right
to do this this way and staff recommends approval.

47. Lakes of Carriage Hills - Discussion and possible action
on:
a) Revised Site Plan approved on 3/l/84 pertaining to
reduction of units and parking. Status Report.
b) Calling of a warranty bond posted for public improve-
ments - Temp. Reso. #3140
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
a) TABLED to the 6/13/84 meeting at
the request of the petitioner.
b) DENIED. The cash revenues will be
held until completion of work covered
by the warranty bond in addition to
what was previously covered.
a) Dan Oyler, of Craven -Thompson, said the people he represents
that would like to be present have requested this item be
tabled until the next Council meeting. C/M Munitz MOVED to
TABLE this item to the 6/13/84 Council meeting, SECONDED by
C/M Dunne.
VOTE:
ALL VOTED AYE
Mr. Rubin stated for clarification that earlier in the year the
revised site plan was approved and in a way to assist residents
to obtain more parking, the Council did not approve the parking
to request the developer to provide more parking to an existing
building. He said the site plan being tabled today shows the
additional parking and the homeowners are waiting for this
parking.
b) Mr. Ruf read Tem . Reso. #3140 by title and Bob Daurity,
representing Lakes of Carriage Hills, referred to an interoffice
memo dated 5/11/84 stating that they could not test the sewer
lines. He said on 5/10/84 they were tested and they found
several low spots. He said this has been corrected and the
sewer lines must be corrected on the west side of Building 12
and he requested that the equity they have built up in various
forms of cash bonds and a letter of credit be applied to that.
He said this should be completed in a maximum of 2 weeks.
Larry Keating, City Engineer, said there is an outstanding punch
list of items and some have been completed and some have not.
He said the warranty bond expires and he suggested that if
renewal of the warranty bond was not convenient perhaps some
other forms of security in the City's hands could be utilized
to guarantee that these remaining items are completed. V/M
Stein asked if this could be tabled to the 6/13/84 meeting
along with the a) portion and Mr. Keating said this would be a
problem since the bond they have expires 5/26/84. Mr. Ruf said
the warranty bond is a letter of credit and he asked Mr.
Daurity if the bank was unwilling to extend that letter of credit.
Mr. Daurity said he could not have that extended until the early
part of June since it takes approximately 3 to 4 weeks. V/M
Stein asked what would happen if Council called the bond and
Mr. Keating said as a practical matter the work would get done
before any action was taken but he recommended the cash can be
held pending completion of those items.
Mr. Keating suggested that before that cash gets released, in
addition to the items they already cover being completed, that
these items be completed. He said the amount of the warranty
bond originally was $28,000 but the amount of work remaining
under that bond is probably $6,000 at the most.

Mr. Keating said he believes this would give the City adequate
protection. Mr. Ruf said the monies which the City is holding
is security for different work and Council could accept the
representation of the City Engineer that this would be
acceptable as well as the representation of the builder that
he is willing to transfer whatever cash is being held to
secure the warranty bond. He said the other possibility is to
call the letter of credit.
V/M Stein said he is satisfied.if the City Engineer feels the
collateral is sufficient and if the builder will assign same,
he votes for allowing them to do this. V/M Stein said he must
leave the meeting at 4:15 P.M.
Mr. Ruf said he would suggest that any of the cash bonds which
the City currently holds extends to the warranty bond which is
covered by Letter of Credit #SB634 in the amount of $30,287.62.
Mr. Keating said when the public improvements are accepted,
after the year's warranty period, which they are at now, the
Engineering Department goes out and inspects the facilities and
prepares a punch list which they inform them must be done in
order to get the warranty bond released. Tie said the value of
the work which remains, based on that punch list, is in the
area of $6,000.
C/M Munitz MOVED DENIAL of Temp. Reso. #3140 with the under-
standing that the builder guarantees that any cash bonds now
held .by the City should be held until all work that is required
by the City Engineering Department is completed. Mr. Keating
suggested for clarification that all cash.reserves be held
pending the completion of the work covered by this warranty
bond in addition to what they presently cover. C/M Munitz
MOVED the MOTION as corrected, SECONDED by C/M Dunne.
