TAMARAC UTILITIES -- WEST
1. Operations - Status Report - Discussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Report by the City Manager
Mr. Gross said there were no problems with the four plants during this
past week, but the two major rainstorms during that period of time,
caused infiltration of 1.5 million gallons, and the other was approxi-
mately less than one million gallons. He said that additional discus-
sion will be heard on Item #40 - Drainage - Western Area of City, at
the 5/29/80 recessed meeting.
He indicated that the City Engineer and Consulting Engineers have
coordinated their efforts, but there was a major leak, which was cor-
rected over the weekend, and involved the main line coming out of the
water plant. This, he said, was resolved between 10:00 P.M. and 2:00
A.M., for such repair.
In response to a question of V/M Massaro, as to isolation of the infil-
tration, the City Manager stated that the major items were handled,
which consisted of breaks. He felt that the discussion to be held
on Item #40, would clarify this further. Mr. Gross said the Engineering
people indicated that the major amount of the infiltration, which came
through with the rainstorms, were admitted through the manholes of the
flooded streets. He felt that reduction of the water on those streets,
would limit the amount of infiltration in the area.
C/W Kelch inquired as to the additional gallons which were sent to the
County, from the Woodlands area, to which the City Manager responded
that the City has not gone beyond the 500,000 gallons at this time.
He said that because of the rainy season, all major overhauling of
the plants will be delayed until a dry period has been reached, which
might be during July.
C/M Disraelly inquired as to the break -down of Plant 4, to which the
City Manager stated that the first dry period would permit more flow
to the County, without affecting the system.
C/M Disraelly also asked in what manner the sludge removal was being
handled, to which Mr. Gross responded that each truck -load of sludge
that is removed, is measured by cubic yardage. He said that it is
important to have sludge in the system, as well as removing it. The
City Manager said that lime sludge is paid for, and the amount is es-
timated yardage for each truck.

8. Area Agency on Aging - Presentation on the program offered by this
organization.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Presentation made by
Candy Rechtschaffer, Assistant Director.
Candy Rechtschaffer, the Assistant Director of the Area Agency on
Aging, requested assistance in match -monies, by the Council. She
noted that a request has been made for the past five or six years,
for participation in providing services for the senior citizens of
Tamarac. She was presently requesting $10,566.00.
Ms. Rechtschaffer said that a letter was received from the City
Attorney, which indicated that this organization was not a charitable
one, to which she responded that they were funded with Federal and
State dollars;also,under the Older Americans Act. She, in turn, made
presentations to the Cities and County for matching dollars for the
Federal funds. During the first six months of this fiscal year, she
said, from October through March, services were provided to the seniors
of Tamarac, at a cost of over $87,000.00, with a request last year,
for $6,306.00. She further added that they were required to provide
one matching dollar for each nine Federal dollars, or a 10% match.
This past year, she said, $3,200,000.00 came down from the Federal
Government, and anticipated over $6,000,000.00 this year; and, there-
fore,was requesting an increased fair -share from the City. She dis-
tributed brochures to Council, for general information on senior ser-
vices for the spring and summer of 1980.
In response to Mayor Falck's question, Ms. Rechtschaffer stated that
approximately 26 or 27 municipalities were participating in the pro-
gram, with one or two still not taking part in this program. She ad-
ditionally stated that 90% Federal and State dollars are received,
with 10% local match to be provided, which is just for the services,
and not for the operation of the Agency. The Administrative dollars
for this operation are provided entirely by the Federal and State
Government. But, she indicated, if the entire amount of dollars are
not matched, then the Federal dollars will not be available.
Ms. Rechtschaffer said that the State Government advised there will
be $4,871,770.00 for social services, plus $1,985,000.00, which is
non -recurring dollars, to be received only once.for this coming year.
These recurring dollars, she said, will be used to purchase transpor-
tation vehicles, which is the number one need in the County; also,
purchase of equipment for senior centers, and will be a one-time ex-
penditure.
She further advised that services in Tamarac for the first six months
of this fiscal year, includes transportation, nutrition, homemaker,
home repair, recreation, counseling, and day care centers.

mr/

V/M Massaro felt this should be taken under advisement, with considera-
tion of everything concerned, and then advise the group.
Ms. Rechtschaffer responded to a question of C/W Kelch, by stating
that in --kind match of the City of Tamarac Van was not considered for
match; and aware that residents of the City were being taken to the
Margate Senior Center. She felt that some consideration should be
given, and would speak to the Director of the Senior Center, relating
to this. She also discussed expanding home -delivery of meals; with
the anticipation of 500 to 600 home delivery meals per day, and ex-
pand the congregate meal by approximately 300 to 400 meals. She felt
that the City of Tamarac should see an increase in the number of resi-
dents receiving nutrition services.

and a separate billing for the title insurance, which $300.00 should

14. Cites Hall Space - Report by City Manager - Discussion and possible
action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled for a Workshop Meeting
Mr. Gross said that a meeting was held in his office with the Chief
Building Official, City Engineer and Public Works Director, and it
was suggested that the building space between the two wings behind
the building,should be enclosed, and would permit a height of two
or three stories, and 3800 or 5700 square feet. if, he said, it was
built to three stories, the third one would hold the City records,
with no windows, but a humidifier and air-conditioning, to keep the
area dry. This, he said, would involve under $170,000.00 for the
three-story addition to the building, and would require the hiring
of an architect to present drawings and estimates.
V/M Massaro felt that utilization of this space was to the City's
advantage, but advised that Al Miller, the Chief Building Official,
was a highly respected General Contractor. She also said that Bern
Gordon could present a drawing, as to the utilization of the
space. The Vice -Mayor said that Mr. Miller could estimate the cost,
and could be built under his jurisdiction. She further added that
a special meeting should be considered for this item.
C/M Disraelly indicated this item has been under discussion since
1977 and 1978, with no additional progress resolved. He added that
a City Planner gave a report on August 14, 1978, after an interview
with all the Department Heads, and a determination of requirements
for office space. C/M Disraelly said the present City Hall has a
total of 16,000 square feet, and was determined that the required
use should be in excess of 25,000 square feet. He also stated that
the Police Department should have over 8,000 square feet, but pre-
sently has short of 3,000 square feet. It was his feeling that this
should be delayed at the present time, because it is not adequate,
and a new City Hall will still be necessary.
He additionally stated that the quarter of a million dollars should
be projected towards the new City Hall.
Tape C/W Kelch felt that the time frame for such building would influence
Side her decision, to which Mr. Gross said it has been determined for an
#3 estimated six months, for the three-story addition to the building.
C/W Kelch felt that postponing the building of a new City Hall, will
assist in preparation of the growth pattern for the years ahead, and
was in favor of adding to the present building.
V/M Massaro did not anticipate the cost of $170,000.00, but would be
-7- 5/28/80
mr/
A
a much lower figure, if it was handled with her suggestions. She
further felt this could be completed by the end of the year, and
would give the City Hall some needed space. The Vice -Mayor further
stated it would take approximately three years to build a new City
Hall, at the approximate cost of $2,500,000.00.
C/M Zemel was inclined to agree with C/P1 Disraelly, that $170,000.00
projection would be increased to $225,000.00, before completion; and
felt that Tamarac Utilities space should be utilized. He would also
request that professional advice be obtained, as to cost, and a
Workshop session should be held for expertise guidance.
Mr. Gross said this should be tabled for discussion on Thursday,
May 29, and would request additional information from Bern Gordon.
C/M Disraelly said there was a reserve of $437,000.00;alsd stating that
three years previous,Council determined to create a capital fund for
an ultimate City Hall, with $150,000.00 put aside for this purpose.
He was in favor of a Workshop Meeting, in order to digest the entire
matter.
Mayor Falck concurred with a Workshop Session; also feeling that the
Vice -Mayor was optomistic as to completion of a new City Hall building
in three years, but would be closer to five years.
V/M Massaro said that dividing the various departments would be a
problem, and felt that something should be done to provide adequate
space, until the new City Hall is built.
Mayor Falck indicated that the Workshop would be established at the
earliest opportunity.
V/M Massaro MOVED to table this item, and C/W Kelch SECONDED.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.
15. Budget Adjustment - Cypress Creek Commons Marina - Discussion and
possible action to appropriate money from the Park and Recreation
Fund to complete this facility.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Recalled later in the day
V/M Massaro confirmed the fact that money was received from the
Water Management District also, and inquired whether they could be
approached for an additional grant to complete the work.
Mr. Gross said expenses for completion of the first phase was approved
at the last City Council meeting, which involved tables, fire -places,
paving and grass -seed. He indicated that certain funds have to be
matched, by showing that particular work has been started.
C/W Kelch indicated the amount which was being discussed amounted
to $10,500.00, and also added that $434,000.00 was in the Park and
Recreation fund, which would be added to on.a continuous basis. She
felt the money required was very minor.
Evan Cross, the City Planner, responded to questions by C/M Disraelly,
by stating there were no new grants, and one grant could be applied
for, which are Federal funds that come from the State. It is the
Department of Natural Resources, which appears to be estopped, due
to a Federal cut -back, he said. Mr. Cross said the only State source
of recreation grant monies is involved in the Caporella Park, and
two active grants are not presently available.
V/17 Massaro inquired whether funding could be obtained from the Water
Management District, in order to accomplish faster handling.
Mr. Cross responded that the City has not received a check to -date
for the completed_ work, but the Water Management District did inspect
the area three weeks previous, and was still in the process of re-
viewing it. He felt that because there was one grant to be closed -
out at this time, that a phone call would reveal whether another could
be obtained.
-8- 5/28/80
mr/
V/M Massaro indicated that a phone call should be made, and the
item recalled later in the day, for consideration.
16. Bid Award - Tamarac Utilities - Temp. Reso. #1670 - Discussion and
possible action to award a bid for video tape recording equipment.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled until the City
Engineer has prepared a report.
The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1670.
Mr. Gross advised that one bid was submitted, in the amount of
$6,200.00, which the City Engineer felt was higher than expected.
Because there was no competition, it was his recommendation that
the bid be rejected, and then negotiate with The Cues Company at
a lower price.
Mr. Keating discussed the bid with The Cues Company, and was advised
they would be submitting the figure of $6,200.00. But, he said,
contact was made with Shenandoah, who was doing work for the City
at that time, and could submit a lower figure. He additionally
stated that this company was working under a different set of criteria
than the City. He was suggesting the possibility of having custom
equipment assembled by an electronics firm, for installation in the
vehicles. It was Mr. Keating's feeling that the cost for this work
should be approximately $4,000.00.
The City Engineer recommended that the item be tabled to a reconvened
meeting, or the next regular meeting, which would give him the op-
portunity to prepare a report. He responded to questions of Council,
by stating that these tapes would permit evaluation of the work to be
done, and could be stored for future reference. It would also not re-
quire on --site review, by him, after viewing the tapes, prior to re-
pair.
V/M Massaro MOVED to table the item, and should be presented to
Council when the City Engineer has prepared a report, and C/M Disraelly
SECONDED.

action to award a bid for insurance for the sludge farm.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted, as amended, RESOLUTION NO.R--�O -�. PASSED.
to Admiral Insurance - $4,659.00.
The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1671.
Mr. Gross said that under the Tamarac Utility Agreement, the City
has to provide $10,000,000.00 of insurance coverage. He said the
low bidder was Admiral Insurance Agency in the amount of $4,659.00,
and the second bidder was Hyden Insurance Company, in the amount of
$6,760.00. It was his recommendation to approve the bid of Admiral
Insurance Agency, also, noting that a portion would be recovered by
increasing the fee to the City of Lauderhill for their usage of the
sludge farm.
Mr. Birken indicated that the owner of the property where the farm
is located, has to be included as the insured on the policy; which
he felt should be part of the motion.
C/M Disraelly MOVED that the bid of Admiral. Insurance Agency, in the
amount of $4,659.00, be approved, with the condition that the owner
of the property is included as an insured, as his interest may appear.
C/M Zemel SECONDED.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Authorization approved
Mr. Gross stated that this item was not included in last year's
budget of Capital items, but it was called to his attention that
it would be necessary to rent a sandblaster for guardrails. He
determined that the cost of purchase for this equipment would be
in the amount of $400.00, and the rental figure is $200.00. At
this time, he was recommending that Council authorize the purchase
of this sandblaster in the Capital account, with a transfer of $400.00
from other accounts in the Public Works Department.
C/M Disraelly added that Mr. Thissen felt this equipment could be
used in the Jet -Vac clean up, where rust is appearing. He then MOVED
for the authorization to purchase this Capital equipment, at a cost
of $400.00, with an internal intra-departmental transfer of Public
Works Streets and Drains. C/W Kelch SECONDED.

Mr. Gross indicated that the City Attorney has reviewed the contract,
OX119
5/28/80
mr/
made changes and corrections. Fie noted there were two representatives
in attendance, and felt that the contract was an excellent service
contract for the City, and was open-ended, for non-payment, if it
was determined by Council that these services have no value.
Bud Palmer, represented MICA, and was a former City Manager, serving
15 years in the Management profession; also, President of the Florida
City and County Managers Association of Florida, serving on the
Board of Directors of the Florida League of Cities, and a representa-
tive of the Legislative Committee on the League for a number of years.
He noted that the Management Improvement Corporation of America was
started approximately three years previous, by three young men in-
volved in City and County government. The program involved a no -
risk basis to the governmental organization, which contract stated
"if we do not produce, then we do not get paid". Also, if the organi-
zation is not happy with their work, then they do not get paid.
He additionally explained that they get paid on the percentage of
the savings to the governmental agency, on the first year only, and
is not an on -going, continuing type of payment. He said they started
with no clients, with monies borrowed from the bank, and was pleased
to advise, that as of this date, they have an excess of 400 clients
throughout the United States, with jurisdictions as large as Los
Angeles County, California, and New York City. The company, he said,
is working on the southeast coast of Florida, including Ft. Lauderdale,
with participation of approximately 37 cities and counties in the
State.
He further stated the company has 130 professional employees serving
at this time, consisting of ex -college professors, bankers, lawyers,
with the expertise for accomplishing the job. Mr. Palmer said they
have never failed to save a City or County money, because the demands
placed on local government are enumerable; for the time required to
cope with State and Federal regulations and problems placed upon
cities and counties. He named the following cities, with similar
contracts, in Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Hallandale,
Hollywood, and many others, with 12 additional contracts being im-
minent.
C/W Kelch said that it was her understanding that the request for
assistance emanated from the Public Works Director, Ralph Thissen,
being interested in the improvements of the vehicle maintenance shop.
She said the proposed contract, on page 2, indicates a maximum saving
or remuneration of $21,200.00 could be affected. Also, she said,
that paragraph b) refers to the first annual value, and inquired
about the second and third annual.
Mr. Palmer indicated that their activity will be performed by a
division of the company that only handles fleet maintenance operation.
He further said they are only paid for the savings effected on the
first year, but the program will continue to save money on a con-
tinued basis.
V/M Massaro inquired as to the method of savings on the first year,
to which Mr. Palmer responded there would be a lessening of outgoing
cash in particular departments. Also, by improving productivity, and
working in an area with less people, because of the changing of
methods, he said, would be left to the governmental organization to
evaluate. He further stated that the reports and briefing will in-
dicate the savings, on a periodic basis, as to what has been accom-
plished, and the estimated savings. He felt that the question of
the savings has never been disputed, because they are assigned to
the work by the City or County, and then place a value on the work
which has been accomplished. Each area of work would be considered
another supplement, he said, and the present request was for Public
Works.
Mr. Gross said there were two areas involved, namely, fleet manage-
ment and garage operations, with inventory, as to lifts required,
mechanics needed and the hours necessary; also, how to standardize
the operation, to limit the amount of parts.
Mr. Palmer said that Carolyn Long lives in Ft. Lauderdale, and is
the Area Coordinator and Product Specialist, and has been working
now
5/28/80
mr/
l�
closely with Mr. Gross, and assisted in the preparation of the
proposal, which lists the items being requested by the client.
Ms. Long said the thrust or orientation of the program is for a
complete review of the operation, inventory controls, not only for
parts, but equipment required, and presently being utilized,
preventive maintenance for City vehicles, which is an important
aspect of the study. This involves the types of vehicles and the
replacement of vehicles to be considered, the schedule, and the
funding. She said other cities had a general work program, be-
cause it is not always determined in advance the various areas to
be researched.
She said a written report will be provided, which can be on a bi-
weekly or monthly basis, and would be in constant communication with
the City Manager and the City Council, for up -dating. Ms. Long said
their operation is very different, because they guarantee the work
and a savings to the City.
Mr. Gross indicated that the City Attorney feels the description of
service does not meet the total discussion as to what will be done
by MICA, to which Mr. Palmer suggested that it be added, and have
it included by the City Attorney, as long as it remains in the area
of Public Works.
Mayor Falck felt that the City Manager should outline what is being
proposed, and be given to the City Council.
V/M Massaro inquired as to Item E under Supplement 1, "develop and
implement revised purchasing policies, procedures and controls, to
accomplish cost and time savings, and to provide a reliable inven-
tory of parts and equipment", and the determination of savings that
would be involved.
Mr. Palmer gave an example of maintaining inventory control, rather
than having employees purchase parts on a retail basis, it would
save time and establish parts on a less than retail price.
C/M Zemel felt that fleet maintenance, methods of repair and replace-
ment vehicle studies should be considered, and not parts, equipment
and inventory.
Mr. Palmer said there is a communications problem in the preparation
of the supplement, and the items being requested, and would broaden
this area, by suggestions of the City Council or the City Manager.
V/M Massaro felt that Mr. Thissen has not been involved in the dis-
cussions, and was a problem, because he is aware of the complete
operation of the Public Works Department. She said that Mr. Thissen
has indicated many times that it is very difficult to keep an inven-
tory on wholesale prices, because there were not enough pieces being
used of one particular item. She MOVED to table this item, and the
City Manager implement the suggestions made by the City Council, as
to the possibility of coming to an agreement with MICA. C/W Kelch
SECONDED the motion.
Mr. Palmer recommended that the various cities be called, in order

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted on 2nd Reading,
as amended.
ORDINANCE NO.O- PASSED.
The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #751, and advised that he submitted
to Council, a two --sentence addition to the ordinance, which would
track language included in the RD-7 regulations. He said that essen-
tially the RD-7 and R-2 districts were similar, except for the owner-
ship of the separate parcels. He said the enactment of the amendment
should be included as part of the ordinance.
Mayor Falck opened the discussion to the public, and closed it because
there were no comments received.
C/M Disraelly said that he brought this item to Council's attention,
because of a discrepancy between the rear yard setbacks in R-2, and
RD-7 zonings, and a conflict of the items that were built in a par-
ticular area of the City. He then MOVED that Temp. Ord. #751, amending
these setbacks, be approved, Section 28-49, paragraph a), with the
additional verbiage, "that every lot used for two --story dwelling pur-
poses shall have a rear yard not less than twenty (20) feet in depth.
In cases where a rear yard lot line abuts a waterway without a bulk-
head, the rear yard shall not be less than twenty-one (21) feet in
depth."

action to require newspapers e separately prepared for collection.
Second Reading. (Public Hearing held 4/23/80)
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted on 2nd Reading, ORDINANCE NO.O-, Q -_(m, PASSED.
as amended. (See page 15)
The City Attorney advised that the ordinance was read for the second
time, when the Public Hearing was held on 4/23/80. It was tabled, he
said, to this day's meeting. He also stated that this item was related
to Item #26, Newspaper Collection Franchise, on this day's agenda.
Mr. Birken said this item required preparation, and also discussions
with Browning -Ferris.
Mr. Birken also indicated that he spoke with the Attorney for Durbin
Company, and was rewording the contract, which language would be modi-
fied.
C/M Disraelly felt that under Section 1, there should be an addition,
"not withstanding the provisions set forth above, wet newspapers may
be mixed with other refuse, garbage and trash, and furthermore, the
-]_3- 5/28/80
mr/
J
resident of a home may take his neighbor's discarded newspapers for
his own use".
He then MOVED for the adoption of Temp. Ord. #619, on second reading,
as amended, and revised, 10/31/79, and C/11 Zemel SECONDED.
C/W Kelch voiced her objection to Section 2, which indicates a penalty
for collection of the newspapers. She said that any individual or
organization should not be penalized, especially relating to those
individuals who have been doing this pickup for a long period of time.
She was not opposed to setting up this arrangement, and promoting a
savings to the City, but would not want interference of collection
and penalties involved for those individuals who have been doing this
work for a length of time.
C/M Disraelly said this was not an exclusive contract, and the next
Tape item on the agenda, which includes Durbin's contract, also has it
Side written in, that "it is not an exclusive contract". He further added
#6 that if this gentleman comes in for the same situation, then Durbin Co.
will make the same arrangements with them. He said the purpose of
including the language of penalty in that Section, would prevent an
unlicensed individual picking up papers indiscriminately.
Mr. Birken stated that any individual being granted a franchise would
be required to provide the City with remuneration. He said that the
individual from Durbin met with C/M Disraelly and himself, a few weeks
previous, and advised that contact was made with a particular gentleman
picking up newspapers in certain areas of the City. This man, he said,
apparently did not object to that portion of the ordinance. He further
stated that Section 1 alone, was not adequate, and the ordinance should
not be enacted if Section 2 was omitted.
V/M Massaro inquired as to the amount of credit by BFI be equal to
the amount of paper that is picked up, to which C/M Disraelly responded
that unless that collector identifies this as having been picked up
in the City of Tamarac, there will not be credit given by BFI to the
City. He also said that anyone who is licensed by the City,and delivers
the paper .to Durbin, ELdds.to a certified figure which will be recog-
nized by BFI, and is $4.50 per ton. C/M Disraelly said this will be
by separate contract; with one being the item of collection with a
franchise, and the other with a non-exclusive franchise, including
the gentleman in the Mainlands Section.

The City Attorney read Temp. Ord. #765, and V/M Massaro MOVED for

Milt Klika inquired how this will be policed, to which C/M Disraelly
said that with the passage of the anti -scavenging act, the Police
can arrest him in conformance with the ordinance. C/M Disraelly
further advised that Durbin will be advertising, and informing people
of the pickup.
Mr. Klika added that there should be some identification on a pickup
truck.
In response to a question of Melanie Reynolds, it was noted by C/M
Disraelly that nothing specific was indicated on condominiums, but
was notified that the papers stored in their trash area, will be
picked up by the same route man, but not bundled.

and possible action to release the cash landscape bonds for buildings
H and K.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved, as amended - RESOLUTTON NO.R- O - PASSED.
Building H released, in the amount of
$1,500.00.
C/M Disraelly said that it was called to Council's attention this
morning, that Building K was not adjacent to Building H, and is in
a different area. He, therefore, indicated that the only cash bonds
to be released should be for Building H, and would complete the land-
scape work for that phase; with Building K waiting for the other
buildings.
V/M Massaro read Temp. Reso. #1679.
C/M Disraelly MOVED that the cash bond for Country Lakes Associates
for Building H, in the amount of $1,500.00, only, be released, and

reference to Building K. V/M Massaro SECONDED the motion.

38. _Building Permit Fees - Temp. Reso. #1680 - Discussion and possible
action to amend Resolution No.R-79-1 adopting building permit fees.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Recalled 5/29/80
Mr. Gross read Temp. Reso. #1680.
V/M Massaro said this resolution was prepared with the assistance of
various chiefs of departments and the Chief Building Official, which
was reviewed item by item, as to rates, with consideration for length
of time for inspection. She additionally stated that Mr. Miller in-
quired of various cities and it was determined that Tamarac's permit
fees were not out -of -line.
Mr. Gross advised that he reviewed the costs of the department, and
has found the income and costs are balanced, but additional wages and
increases were not considered for the end of this fiscal year, in
October. Also, additional escalating costs were not considered, and
the 7% increase, plus the possibility of a 4% merit increase to some em-
ployees. Due to the existing inflationary period, he would suggest the
recommendations of the Chief Building Official and the Vice -Mayor, to
increase Building Permit Fees, be approved.
V/M Massaro clarified the schedules, by stating that the figures of
the last resolution were in parenthesis, and upon adoption, it would
be rewritten or deleted, with inclusion of particular figures.
C/M Disraelly felt there should be an increase in the rate schedule,
but said that 25% and 33% was too steep; with the last increase
being January 3, 1979. He also stated that the income in the depart-
ment was considerably above the projected figure.
V/M Massaro said there will be another 7% increase on October 1, 1980;
which was considered, plus the time expended, and the volume of work.
This, she said, would require additional employees in this department,
and involve a rise in costs. She guaranteed that within a six month
period new fees would be considered, because the sister cities were

35. Mainlands Section 14 - Revised Site Plan - Discussion and possible
action to approve a storage room, replacing a barbeque pit.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Storage room approved
Art Winslow represented Section 14, and advised that a barbeque pit
was erected by the original developer, which has not been used by
their community. He said that debris gathered in the area, because
it was situated close to the parking lot. The people desire the
removal of this pit,and would request approval of a storage room,
for use of supplies, motors and pumps, because they operate the main-
tenance of the section. It was proposed that the barbeque pit be
removed, and enclose what is presently an existing roof, supports and
concrete slab, which would be cosmetically similar to the clubhouse,
with windows and doors; also stuccoed, and have the appearance of a
residence.
V/M Massaro felt this particular project would enhance the attractive-

Tape C/M Zemel inquired whether there was a fee for work in a private home,
Side under the $300.00 figure, to which Mr. Miller responded that a permit
#7 must be obtained,as an owner -builder. He referred to page 8, Section C.
39.
V/M Massaro further clarified that repairs up to the $300.00 figure,
would not be a problem, such as a building permit would not be required
for the replacement of a door. She indicated that the paragraph was
intended for work which was not anticipated.
C/M Zemel felt that the grammar was incorrect in Section C, on page 8,
and recommended deletion of the following language; "which does not
fall into any of the above listed categories", and is understood to
include the $300.00 fee, and does require clarification.
Mr. Miller read the following paragraph from the South Florida Building
Code, which was incorporated into Section C: Permit Fee Based on Cost
of Job --
1. "No permit shall be required for general maintenance or
repairs which do not change the Occupancy and the value
of which does not exceed three hundred ($300.00) dollars
in labor and material as determined by the Building Official,
other than electrical work, a permit which is required re-
gardless of the cost of the work. Construction, alterations,
additions, repairs and maintenance of items not set forth
above, the cost of which exceeds $300.00, shall pay a fee as
set forth below."
V/M Massaro indicated that the figures under that paragraph, BASED
ON COST OF JOB should be corrected as follows;
$301.00 to less than $500.00
$500..00 to less than $1,000.00
$1,000..00 to less than $1,500.00
$1,500.00 to less than $2,000.00
Mr. Miller responded to a question of Harold Newman, as to the $300.00
fee scale being in existence for a number of years.
V/M Massaro recommended that the corrections be made this day, and
reconsider the item for the reconvened meeting of 5/29/80.
Mayor Falck concurred and indicated that Item #38 will be recalled
on Thursday, 5/29/80.

funds in a joint effort with
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: V/M Massaro authorized to cooperate
with Mr. Gulisano, of Plaza Del Sol, in order to
accomplish this work.
V/M Massaro said that discussions were held on this item previously,
and after contact with the County Engineering Department, it was
determined that the County may agree to install a culvert, from the
northeast intersection of N.W. 57th Street, to the first catch basin,
going north on 88th Avenue. She said the City's participation would
be the work which the owners of Plaza Del Sol would be responsible
for, due to a previous commitment to the City Council. She indicated
that negotiations should take place with the City Manager and City
Engineer, for an Agreement with Mr. Gulisano, for reimbursement of the
City's cost in this project.
She felt that Mr. Gulisano should assume the other cost, which would
otherwise have been the City's responsibility. The Vice --Mayor stated
that the $2,000.00 only includes the underground work, such as the
culverts and catch basins, the junction box, and the items listed as
underground to his property. She also felt that if curbing is placed on
the top work, .then the trucks could not maneuver into the driveway,
but felt that brick --work could be installed in place of grass and
curbing. V/M Massaro further requested that all aspects of the
work and the area be considered.
-17- 5/28/80
mr/
C/M Disraelly said that the City Engineer was to have created the
plans, to which the Vice --Mayor advised that the County Engineer was
performing this. She said originally Mr. Gulisano approved receipt
of the estimated cost for the two catch basins and the drainage to
the canal, from Mr. Nolan.
V/M Massaro said she was apprising Council that the County has agreed
to do this work, but prior to a commitment from Mr. Gulisano, she
would like permission to continue with negotiations, and the privi-
lege of moving forward with this project. She added, if Mr.Gulisano
could not be legally required to do this, then the City will be
paying for it, and is slightly under $2,000.00. She also noted that
the other work, which is not indicated on this estimate, will not
be accomplished, unless Mr. Gulisano agrees to it.
C/M Disraelly said this work has been pending since April of 1977,
and would MOVE that the Vice -Mayor be authorized to work with Frank
Gulisano, the owner of Plaza Del Sol, in order to come to a conclusion
as to the running of groundwork, underground, surface, and so forth,
To get catch basins and culverts put in from his property to the first
catch basin north of his property, on 88th Avenue, and advise Council,

He additionally stated that the location was satisfactory, and recom-
mended approval of the waiver, but conditionally, because this sign
was in lieu of the north side,of the building. Mr. Baade said it
should be subject to the applicant not coming in for a sign on the
north side.

exposure, and MOVED to approve the sign, as it is located, with the
stipulation that a second sign could not be applied for, or it will

V/M Massaro said that Mr. Nolan sent letters to Mr. Keating, a copy
of which was sent to C/M Disraelly and herself. She also said that
Tract 46 and 27 was under discussion for a length of time. The Vice -
Mayor indicated that Mr. Nolan and Mr. Keating have been checking this,
with consideration by the City Engineer, as to location, and for equal-
izing the pressures. She also said that the tract was large enough to
not affect anyone's property, and it would not be necessary to exercise
an option on Tract 46, because the site is owned by the City.
C/W Kelch said that she also discussed this with Mr. Keating, and re-
ceived the referenced letter of 5/22nd. She felt there was an advantage
in the location of Tract 27, because of availability and the short lines
of construction, in order to serve the entire area.
C/M Disraelly said discussions were held with Tony Nolan and Larry
Keating, as to the center property being bermed, with beautification
being installed around the tank. In that manner, he said, it would
not be offensive to anyone living there, or to those developers who
were building.in the area. It was his feeling that the radiation of
lines would cover the entire western section of the City, and would be
most advantageous,to the area.

length of the property;also, redesigning dumpster to meet standards.
Mr. Darby said that it was to only be around the landscaped areas,
to which C/M Disraelly requested that it be curbed to the length
of the property, due to people crossing over medians. He also
inquired whether a sign would be installed, "no left turns"; and
said that under the new ordinance, they could utilize one of the

This meeting is being held this evening for the purpose of

ITEM 21: Tamarac Park Facilities Fees - Tem Reso. #1447 - revised --
Discussion and possible action to establish fees for use of
park facilities.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
TABLED FOR ADDITIONAL REVIEW.
The City Attorney read Temp. Reso.#1447 revised by title only.
Councilman Zemel stated that while the recreation facilities are
very important to both adults and children, they are costly to operate.
The City could never recover the operating costs, however, he is
recommending that fees be established, as stated in the temporary
resolution.
A. ized Leagues:
1. Adult Leagues for three month season, maximum 7 sessions per
week -maximum $150.00 per league per season. $5.00 per
Tamarac resident players per season. $25.00 per non resident
player per season. No more than 10% non residents are
permitted in a league.
2. Youth Leagues for a three month season, 7 nights per week
maximum. (Maximum age for participants 16 years of age as
of last day of season). $150.00 per league per season. No
charge for Tamarac residents. $25.00 per non resident player
per season. No more than 10% non residents are permitted
in a league. If a league proposes to use the fields for
fewer than 7 sessions per week, the City Council may reduce
fee for that league.
3. All leagues using Tamarac Park Facilities must have at leash
$1,000,000.00 liability insurance for bodily injury and
property damage with the City of Tamarac as a named insured
on the policy. The league may not use the fields before the
City's furnished a Certificate of Insurance. Each player in
a league must furnish to City a Covenant not to sue the City
in the event of bodily injury prior to participating in any
league activity at Tamarac Park.

The City Manager is directed to promulgate rules and regulations
pertaining to reservations of Park Facilities, scheduling of leagues
and such other matters as are covered by this resolution.
Councilman Zemel MOVED for ADOPTION OF TEMP. RESO.#1447 REV. AS
PROPOSED, SECONDED BY Councilman Disraelly
Ed Gross, City Manager, feels that the since the amount of monies
that would be generated by these fees is minimal for which the City would
have to pay out a greater amount for enforcement, it isn't worth
1 establishing any fees. He feels recreation is a City responsibility.
If the City had a major recreation program established, then it would
be worthwhile having such fees. However;'there should be an adult league fee
to help offset the cost of lighting.
V/M Massaro stated in,agreeing with the City Manager that she
doesn't feel the fees are adequate. She quoted a figure of $20.00
per season which is considered inexpensive. She then discussed the
length of a season and sessions and the membership (resident/non-resident)
V/M Massaro believes that residents and non-residents should be
handled the same because it could be abused. It was the V/Mayol's feeling,
to which C/M Zemel concurred that expenses such as trophies, scorers,
umpires, etc. should be borne by the leagues.
The City Manager stated that he does not believe the children,
residents and non-residents, should be charged. The non-resident
players should not be penalized because the Little League Charters
establish the league boundaries which are often outside the City in
which the league plays.
C/M Disraelly requested clarification of "Reserved Use of Facilities"
to which C/M Zemel responded that it refers to organized non league
groups to ask use of areas for specific time when leagues are not
using the field. The fees for the courts include all the people using
the court (single%, doubles, atc.) for a specific period of time.
C/M Disraelly stated that the City would receive more money from the
tennis.court in one week than from the baseball league for the
whole season.
C/M Zemel said this proposal is -a medium for discussion. It is
a starting point to discuss fees, conditions and terms.
C/M Disraelly discussed the amounts of money the various fields
and courts would generate; the maintenance required, and that- the cost
of night games should be separated from day games. Fees for use of
facilities at night should be higher than day use. Using the figures
of $150.00 for leagues and per hour figures for non leagues, the
non-league group would theoretically be playing almost 10 times as
much as leagues.
Council agreed to change "baseball field" in paragraph 3 on page 2
to "Field".
The City Manager indicated the effect of establishing the hourly
rates in terms of personnel costs for scheduling and monitoring the
courts. He stated that it would cost the City more money than it is
receiving, this, a loosing proposition.
Mayor Falck agreed by saying the cost of collecting fees is
greater than the fees themselves. If the City is going to collect
fees, they should be more in line with taking enforcement into consider-
ation.
C/W Kelch indicated the league fee appears to be the only one
that wouldn't cost the City anything.
C/M Disraelly questioned Sharon Ellis, Recreation Director, as
to what leagues are established in the City. The Adult Softball uses
field year round - 4 seasons - plays day and night. Little League -.
March - June - evening and Saturday games. Senior League
T-Ball - February thru May, Soccer- October to February (or March).
C/M Disraelly felt that perhaps a $150.00 fee, per league for
night games would be appropriate to offset electric costs.
-2- 5/28/80
mb/
V/M Massaro questioned Mrs. Ellis about the softball league.
There are 240 players, playing approximately 9 months of the year.
The break between seasons depends on field maintenance, registration,
etc.
Discussion was held concerning number of teams in each league,
how many players, how much each player pays per season, amount of
money league receives each season, items that must be paid for such
as scorers, umpires, equipment, etc. The City Manager indicated that
the lights cost between $300 - $400 per year, that there are costs
for lining the fields, replacing sod, clay, etc. C/W Kelch was
interested in arriving at a cost to the City that is a direct result
of the use of the park by organized teams.
Sonny Gentile, resident of Sunflower stated that he is trying
to start a baseball league consisting of boys 16 to 18 years of age.
This would be a travelling league consisting of 18 boys. He questioned
how rates would be set for the visiting teams. He also asked Council
to consider raising the age limit, in the Resolution, to at least
18 years old.
Barry Barton, President of Men's Softball Leagues, clarified that
the league does not make money on the league. He described how some
neighboring cities handle their league programs - do registration,
pay umpires and score keepers, etc. Each Tamarac team pays $380.00
to the league to cover expenses, which is the highest amount any
team in the County pays to a league. He feels it is unreasonable for
Tamarac to expect the teams to continue paying this amount to the
league, in addition to paying the City a fee for use of the unlighted
field.
Other Cities charge a fee which includes use of the fields,
registration, paying umpires and scorers. Mr. Barton mentioned
services offered by the Cities such as striping the fields before
each game and lights.
Bill Ryan, Past President of Little League stated that they use
the fields 6 days a week but are off the field by 8:30 P.M. so they
don't use the lights. He indicated that the proposed Resolution is
restrictive because it limits the use of the fields to children
under 16 or adults. There is no provision for teens between the ages
of 16 and 18, and this should be changed.
A ruling was made that a motion to table takes precedence, therefore,
V/M Massaro MOVED to TABLE THIS ITEM FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION. Mayor
Falck turned the chair over to V/M Massaro and then he SECONDED the
motion.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.
Meeting recessed until Thursday, May 24, 1980 at 1:30 P.M.
