City Manager Kelly said the concerns at the Public
Hearings were addressed in the Lease Agreement and
Services Agreement with the Broward Sheriff's Office.
Mayor Abramowitz asked the City Manager to indicate the
changes in the Contract.
City Manager Kelly said on Page 4 of the Service
Agreement, the provision for the 5 Receptionists was
deleted; therefore, the referrals to the provision had to
be deleted on Page 4, Item i. He said all the
underlinings for the new revisions were removed and Page
9, "Contract" was changed to "Agreement".
C/M Stelzer said at the June 12, 1989 Public Hearing, he
indicated that the projected Budget increase for next
year by merging with the Broward Sheriff's Office would
be $2.25 and, if the merge did not occur, an additional
$1.50 would be required. He said the total increase
would be $7.11; however, the newspapers insist that the
Budget information was not available to the public. He
said the newspaper article indicated that the City was
disbanding the Tamarac Police Department in an effort to
save money. He said the City was not disbanding the
Police Department; however, the Police Officers would
only be changing uniforms and cars.
C/M Stelzer said there were two injunctions filed in the
Courts to stop the City Council from signing the
Agreements which were denied. He said the City Council
has proceeded with this matter legally; therefore, the
Agreement with the Broward Sheriff's Office should be
C/M Rohr said there were two Public Hearings held on this
matter and he would like the residents protesting the
rsyLGG,u�t1t to consider what they were doing to the
citizens by their actions.
C/M Hoffman said there was much discussion on this matter
and he spent several hours worrying about the problems.
He said at this time the City Council must vote their
concience with the full knowledge that their actions on
this matter will affect the City for many years and,
possibly, forever. He said he wanted the residents who
voted for him to understand why he was about to vote on
the matter.
C/M Hoffman said there were three segments to be
considered, 1) should the City of Tamarac Police
Department merge with the Broward Sheriff's Office, 2)
should the City Council take this matter to Referendum
and, 3) what is best for the City of Tamarac.
C/M Hoffman said he carefully weighed the pros and cons
of the first segment and he spoke to several people in
the City of Tamarac and in Cities that were presently
being served by the Broward Sheriff's Office for years.
He said the pro's he found were, 1) better Police

protection, 2) more Police Officers in patrol of the
City, 3) greater support and backup for the Police by one
of the finest law enforcement agencies in the Country
and, 4) lower costs with a cost containment for at least
7 years in the future.
C/M Hoffman said among the con's he found people who
opposed the merger because change frightened them. He
said people indicated that they did not like Sheriff
Navarro personally and the attitude of most of the people
against the program was, "T already made up my mind,
please do not confuse me with facts".
C/M Hoffman said the most valid opposition was stated at
the June 12, 1989 Public Hearing by a resident who
indicated that he was opposed because it flattered his
ego for the City to have it's own Police Department. He
said he did not consider this opposition to be valid
enough for the City Council to deny the merger with the
Broward Sheriff's Office.
C/M Hoffman said considering segment 2), should the City
Council take this matter to Referendum, the Florida Law
and the City Charter were very specific as to what should
be presented for Referendum. He said he felt it was the
intent of the law that all issues not listed as requiring
a Referendum should be decided by the elected Legislative
Body. He said if a past City Council chose not to
perform its legislative duty it did not obligate him to
follow their footsteps. He said he believed that going
to Referendum would not resolve the merging of the Police
Department but it would resolve the political circus to
determine which group could yell the loudest and further
it's political ambitions by getting the most press
coverage.
C/M Hoffman said the third segment was the most important
question, "what is best for the City of Tamarac". He
said there was no question in his mind that the best
course for the City was to merge the Police Department
with the Broward Sheriff's Office. He said he was
confident that the City negotiated the best possible
Agreement with the Broward Sheriff's Office and he was
confident in his decision to vote to approve the merger.
V/M Bender said the Broward Sheriff's Office matter was
discussed and investigated thoroughly. He said it was
now the appropriate time for the City Council to vote on
the matter.
Mayor Abramowitz said there were two Public Hearings and
a Special Meeting called on this matter and he knew
exactly how the residents felt because he felt the same
way. He said this matter was not something that could be
ignored if it was not appropriate. He said he thoroughly
reviewed the Agreements and there was no question his
mind that merging with the Broward Sheriff's Office would
be in the best interest of the City. He said the service
and financial matters in the City would become better by
merging with the Broward Sheriff's Office.

Mayor Abramowitz announced that there was no longer an
M-2 (Medium Industrial) zoning designation; therefore,
this rezoning request was necessary.
Kelly Carpenter -Craft, City Planner, said the request was
to rezone this property from M-2 to LI--1 (Light
Industrial) to conform with the provisions of Article 20
of the City Code. She said the Tamarac Land Use Map
designated this parcel as industrial and the only
appropriate zoning category was LI-1. She said the
parcel contained 34.07 acres, more or less and the
current land use and zonings on the surrounding
properties are the following:
North - RM-10 (Planned Apartment)
South - B-3 (Commercial) (City of Sunrise)
East - B-2 (Planned Community Business)
B-6 (Business District)
West - A-5 (Agricultural/Excavation)
B-2 (Planned Community Business)
Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said the Planning Commission
recommended approval of the request at their May 17, 1989
meeting and the Community Development Department
recommended approval. She said the only thing being done
was correcting the map to reflect text changes that were
made in 1977, which was eliminating the M-2 Zone and
substituting it with LI-1. She said the City Council
would be hearing changes of this type within the next
several months.
Mayor Abramowitz Opened the Public Hearing.
Vickie Beech, Resident, asked Mrs. Carpenter --Craft to
explain about the 4-acre parcels. She said it was
understood that gas station zoning would be placed in the
area and she asked why the entire parcel was not being
rezoned. She asked how the rezoning affected the area as
Page 9
6/14/89
far as the recent debris, trailers, etc.
Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said when the Planning Commission
heard this Item there was another zoning request of
4-acres of Commercial at the southeast corner of this
project, which was the northwest corner of 94th Street
and Commercial Boulevard. She said the request was for a
B-3 zone for an unstated use; however, a gas station
could be placed in the area because B-3 allowed a gas
station use. She said the request for a B-3 zone was to
allow the parcel to be marketed as a commercial piece
rather than industrial.
Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said the reason the rezoning request
was not before the City Council was because the City's
Land Use Plan was not certified. She said the County
adopted its plan on March 10, 1989. She said the City of
Tamarac's Land Use Plan has not been readopted;
therefore, the flexibility was not allowed under the
County's Plan to consider such a rezoning until the
City's Land Use Plan was recertified. She said even
though the matter was considered by the Planning
Commission, the rezoning request could not be brought
before the City Council before the City's Land Use Plan
was recertified.
Mayor Abramowitz asked Mrs. Carpenter -Craft to inform the
City Council of this matter when it came before them.
Mrs. Carpenter -Craft said it would be several months
before the request was before the City Council; however,
she would inform the City Council when it was before
them. She said Mrs. Beech asked if the rezoning would
correct the beautification problems in the area. She
said the rezoning request did not give the City the
leverage to have the site cleaned. She said the
landscaping plan was being processed for the entire site
and there would be a plat for the entire parcel at which
time staff would work with the Petitioner on the
beautification.
C/M Hoffman asked if the City Council could insist that
the 4-acre parcel remain part the LI-1 Zone and Mrs.
('ar-onter-Craft said this could be done; however, the
Item would have to be advertised because the City Council
could not act on zoning which was larger than what was
originally advertised.
C/M Hoffman said he objected to acting on this rezoning
at the present time and he would like the entire parcel
rezoned to LI-1 as opposed to allowing 4-acres being
rezoned to B-3.
C/M Hoffman MOVED to TABLE Temp. Ord. 1438, SECONDED by

Mayor Abramowitz asked the City Council to express their

that would not allow anyone, except governmental
agencies, to waive Fees. He said staff had no right to
inform anyone that there would be a waiver of Fees
because the City Council was the only one who could waive
Fees by a majority vote. He said he would like the
legislation drafted prohibiting the waiving of Fees
because the matter became political.
C/M Rohr said he did not know if legislation would bind
future City Council and he asked if Water Retention Fees
were the only Fees being eliminated from the Item.

C/M Rohr had concerns with legislation eliminating the
waiver of fees becoming a problem and Mayor Abramowitz
said waiving the Fees for one and not the other became

Bob Foy, Director of Utilities/Engineering, said the
project was required to replace an existing sub -standard
shallow asbestos cement raw water main that did not have
the required isolation valves. He said the proposed

minimum of 30-inches of cover and the required isolation
valves. He said the raw water main delivered water from
three wells along 61 Street, west of the water tank. He
said approximately 25% of the water capacity came from
the three wells.
Mr. Foy said the project was included in this year's
Budget and the Bids were procured in accordance with the
City Code. He recommended approval of this project to
insure that the water of three wells was available to the
City.

for the existing capacity and not the expanded capacity.
He said the project was not part of the CIAC plans;
therefore, the expenditure could not be taken from the

contract with Southern Atlantic Associates, Inc., for the

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
APPROVED.
* C/M Rohr MOVED to APPROVE this Item, SECONDED by V/M Bender.
City Manager Kelly said the original estimate of this
project was $2,576,000.00; however, when Construction
Management Services, Inc., took the project, the estimate
was $2,552,958.00 with a specified $40,000.00 to be set
aside as an alternate for the canopy. He said the cost
on the Change Orders was for the rock ledge throughout
the project and the cost of $82,149.00 was 4.4%. He said
the cost was contained within the contingency provided by
Construction Management Services, Inc., and he
recommended approval on this Item.
C/M Rohr had concerns with the company doing the boring
not submitting the proper information and City Manager
Kelly said this type of problem was very common in South
Florida.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if the Architectural firm was
responsible and City Manager Kelly replied, no.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if the City would be able to be
compensated for this matter and City Manager Kelly
replied, no.
C/M Rohr suggested that this matter be reviewed because
it was important that the City receive the appropriate
nformation since the project was paid for.
City Manager Kelly said the company was not remiss in the
information because the information indicated the test
boring.
C/M Rohr asked that the City Attorney review the boring
contracts to see if there could be any compensation to
the City because there may be additional costs.
City Attorney Doody said the standards that would be
applied were whether or not the company performed their
responsibilities in their usual manner and not if the
shelf was located.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if this matter was reviewed as to
someone being remiss and City Manager Kelly said at the
beginning of the project, there were concerns as to why
the project was delayed. He said the delay was because
the ledge was identified, which surprised everyone.
V/M Bender said this Motion should be approved; however,
the questions that were raised should be handled
separately. He said he would like to know who selected
the boring sites.
C/M Rohr said it seemed that the boring was not done
appropriately; therefore, the City should receive some
type of compensation.

Ken Burroughs, Finance Director, said the current
Auditors finished their fifth year as the City's Auditors
on September 30, 1988 and he felt it was in the City's
best interest to have a new Auditor Firm every five
years. He said letters were sent out to various Firms
and an Evaluation Committee was formed which consisted of
he, Bob Hoyt, Deputy Finance Director, and Dina
McDermott, Assistant to the City Manager. He said the
Firms were interviewed and independently evaluated. He
said the Firms are listed as the Committee would like to
negotiate and he recommended approval.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if this was Mr. Burroughs
recommendation and Mr. Burroughs said this was his and
the Committee's recommendation.
Melanie Reynolds, Resident of Sands Point, asked if the
City Council participated in the interview of the Firms.
C/M Stelzer said he reviewed the proposals and C/M
Hoffman said rating accountants was not his expertise.
C/M Hoffman said he had to rely on the persons qualified
to do this namely, the Finance Department. He said if
the Finance Department rated the Firms it was sufficient.
C/M Rohr asked Mrs. Reynolds what her question was based
on.
Mrs. Reynolds said she attended two of the interview
meetings and the questions asked of the Firms were not as
pertinent as they were when the City Council screened the
Firms in the past. She said under State Law it was
required that Minutes of the meetings be taken so that
the Public could review the interview. She said the
meetings were not recorded and she requested that she be
able to read the Minutes.
Irving Katz, Resident of Lakes of Carriage Hills, asked
if two of the Firms merged and Mr. Burroughs said Arthur

Firm would be asked to negotiate, etc.

that the Board of Adjustment hear special exceptions.
Z:_. -:..id the Planning Commission and City Council were
given this responsibility for hearing special exceptions
at Division II, Special Exceptions, Section 28-199 of the
Tamarac City Code. She said presently, the Board of
Adjustment did not hear special exceptions and the
criteria for granting the special exceptions was
indicated at Section 28-197 through 28-199 of the City
Code. She said the criteria in Sections 28-13(b) 1
through 4, was redundant and would be eliminated by this
amendment. She said the Planning Commission recommended
approval of the changes; however, the Board of Adjustment
did not discuss the amendments but they received the
amendments at their May, 1989 meeting. She recommended
approval of the amendments.
Mayor Abramowitz said this amendment was very good and
would eliminate some of the unnecessary procedures.
City
Attorney Doody said he
agreed with this amendment
which
was a use variance.
He said in late 1960 and 1970,
some
Cities had the Board of

25. OPEN PUBLIC FORUM
Anthony Grimaldi, Resident of Sunflower/Heathgate, said
during the several weeks of discussion regarding the
Broward Sheriff's Office there were political comments
made. He said in early 1987, a Contract for the Broward
Sheriff's Office was proposed and everyone was very
pleased; however, as the matter progressed, there were
several modifications and changes proposed. He said the
residents felt that anything that was good for the Police
Department should be given to them. He said he felt it
was a benefit that the residents have their own Police
Department.
Mr. Grimaldi said the residents were aware of the
financial and personnel problems in the Police
Department; however, the residents were never opposed to
pay to eliminate the problems. He said the residents did
not have an opportunity this year to decide what they
wanted to do. He said the City Council was acting in the
best interest of the people and looking for the easiest
way out of a tough situation. He said the residents did
not have the opportunity to see the grand opening of the
new Police Station, etc.
Mr. Grimaldi said Sheriff Nick Nav arro.would open up the
new Police Station and the Station would be referred to
as the new Sub -Division of the Broward Sheriff's Office.
He said the residents would never hear "the Tamarac
Police Department". He said there would be a day that
City Council and staff would not be allowed in the new
Police Facility because the Broward Sheriff's Office
would be the sole leaser. He said he hoped this did not
happen because the City may have to ask the residents for
assistance in changing the problems. He wished the City
luck in the merger with the Broward Sheriff's Office.
n; IZatz, Resident of Lakes of Carriage Hills,
congratulated City Attorney Doody for his up -coming
wedding. He said he asked a few questions at previous
ment'ings and never received responses. He said it was
discussed that a Workshop meeting would be held regarding
the City taking responsibility for placing Stop signs.
He said it was discussed that a Workshop meeting would be
held regarding street lighting. He asked if the City
would be turning over their existing radio channels to
the Broward Sheriff's Office.

Mayor Abramowitz said the night meetings were being called
before he e�came Mayor and he continued to call the
evening meetings because there were people who worked

meetings. He said the working residents should have the
opportunity to attend the meetings.
C/M Hoffman said he would second and vote on a Motion to
abolish night meetings if C/M Stelzer made a Motion and
C/M Rohr agreed.
C/M Rohr said he agreed with C/M Stelzer. He said the
City Council rarely saw a young person at the night
meetings and not many people attended the City Council
meetings unless there was a controversial Item. He
suggested that the City Council survey the matter the
next few months.
Mayor Abramowitz said during the evening meetings, the
staff was present free of charge. He said during the
day, staff was taken away from their jobs to attend the
City Council meetings. He said it would be unfair to the
residents to eliminate the evening meetings because they
would not have the opportunity to attend.

the only time there were different residents at the

27. CITY MANAGER REPORT
City Manager Kelly thanked his staff for their support
and help in handling City matters while his concentration
was on the Broward Sheriff's Office Contract. He said it
was a relief to rely on the staff to carry on with the
responsibilities during this time.
City Manager Kelly announced that Dina McDermott,
Assistant to the City Manager, was appointed by the
Florida International University Institute of Government
Steering Committee for the 1989/90 Session.
City Manager Kelly said the Broward Sheriff's Office
offered other implications for the City. He said the
Police Chief served on the Civil Defense Program for the
City; therefore, the priorities will have to be
reassigned.
City Maalager Kelly announced that he would be continuing
with the Budget reviews tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M..
He said the reviews would be with the Fire Chief, the
Charter Board, the Personnel Department, his office, the
Public Information Board, the Engineering Department and
the final review would be the street lighting. He said
at 10:00 A.M., the Recycling Committee of the City
Manager's would be meeting in North Lauderdale to
finalize an Agreement with Waste Management, Inc.
City Manager Kelly said there would be a dedication of
the Police Facility because the Facility would remain the
property of the City. He said the residents should be
proud of the design and services it would provide. He
Page 25
6/14/89
said Police Chief Joseph McIntosh contributed greatly to
the design and the sophisticated technology of the
Facility which was very impressive. He said he certainly
did not want to dismiss the Police Facility from
ownership by the City.
City Manager Kelly said the communication system was
placed on hold until a decision was made that it would be
in the City's best interest to pursue the implementation
of the system. He said there were four FCC Licenses in
the City which were more important than the equipment
themselves. He said the equipment would be used by the
Code Enforcement, Building and Planning Departments. He
said the communication system would be relocated at the
new Public Works Facility for use by the City's
Departments.
Irving Katz, Resident, asked if the Broward Sheriff's
Office would be using the four channels owned by the City
and City Manager Kelly replied, no.
City Manager Kelly said the only way the Broward
Sheriff's Office would use the channels was in case of an
emergency, disaster, etc.
Irving Katz asked if the Broward Sheriff's Office would
be bringing their own communication system and City
Manager Kelly replied, yes. City Manager Kelly said this
matter was indicated in the Lease Agreement.
A resident asked if the name on the Police Facility would
state "The City of Tamarac Police Station".
City Manager Kelly said the Police Facility presently
indicated "Police Station"; however, "Tamarac" would be
placed on the Facility which the plaque design would be
discussed tomorrow. He said the vehicles would also have
"Tamarac" on them.
