4. Police Department - Radios - Discussion and possible action to autho-
rize purchase of eighteen radios, and to approve a budget amendment.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: City Manager authorized to
purchase 18 General Electric PY/66 radios.
Mrs. Stuurmans indicated that Staff requested that Council permit the
purchase of 18 G.E. PY/66 radios, at State contract prices, along with
accessory items consisting of mikes, cases, batteries and chargers.
She said authorization was required to transfer $16,500 from the Police
Department Salaries Account to Police Department Capital Other Account,
for movement of funds within that department. She further noted that
documentation was submitted to Council from Chief McIntosh and Staff,
indicating they do want the additional radios, in order to replenish
older stock, also, permitting assignment of one radio per man. This,
she said, would create a greater sense of responsibility and a personal
interest in the communications equipment, which is viewed as a life -line.
C/M Zemel said that he was involved with previous purchases of radios
during his period of employment with the City, as a Purchasing Agent,
and realized that many of them were becoming obsolete, with spare parts
being impossible to obtain. He felt the additional radios remaining
in -stock, would be for emergencies.
C/M Zemel MOVED that because this is a State contract, it would not be
necessary to go to bid, and the City Manager is authorized to purchase
at State contract prices, eighteen (18) General Electric PY/66 radios,
and other required accessory items, such as mikes, cases, batteries and
one (1) charger. Transfer, he said, is also authorized in)the amount
of $16,500 from the Police Department Account - Salaries, which has not
been completely used, #1-218-521-120, and transferred to Police Depart-
ment Capital - Other, #1-218-521-647. V/M Disraelly SECONDED the motion.
V/M Disraelly recommended that the responsibility of replacement for
the radios, be to the assigned officer, to which Chief McIntosh stated
that a policy has been established on radio losses and negligence, where-
by the City would be reimbursed.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: City Manager was authorized to

The City Manager said she received a report one month previous, from
the Shop Superintendent, indicating that a number of the Plymouth
Valiants - 1974 models, are in very poor condition, and not practical
for repair. A request was being made, she said, for Council to permit

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: City Manager to be removed
from the Pension Plan, at her request.
Mrs. Stuurmans advised that after her appointment of May 13, 1981,

elect to remain in the Pension Plan, if they were a member of the

36. Florida Power & Light - Installation of Poles - Discussion and possible
action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTIO14: No action taken.
(See page 1
Rich Arlington of FP&L, advised that two contractors in the State of
Florida manufacture wood poles, with difficulty in obtaining them ap-
proximately ten years ago, because one of them burned down. He added
the change was to concrete pole installation, from 1970 to 1976, but
the cost has become prohibitive; with a determination that wood poles
are more readily available. The standard construction, he said, is
to CCA poles,which are treated with green stain, and do not change
color. Mr. Arlington advised that the differential cost between wood
versus concrete involves $500 to $700. Ile further stated that the
heavier pole would require different equipment for its installation,
as relates to drilling and the facilities involved.
He noted that impact on the concrete pole would involve crumbling, but
the wood pole will snap and hold.
V/M Disraelly inquired about McNab Road and University Drive, where
new poles were being installed, six (6) feet in -board of where the
concrete poles are presently in existence.
Mr. Arlington advised that the concrete poles would be transferred out,

selected to receive an award for the best operated Class-B plant in
the South Florida subdistrict. This, Mr. Keating stated, also in-
cluded Palm Beach, Dade and Broward Counties, which represented
treatment plants serving several million people.

Major Falck advised that an Interim Census Report for 1980 was being
made available to the City. He said this will be put together in
early 1982, for a special project to be implemented in Broward County,
because of concern on the total count. The Mayor said it was his
request that Tamarac be included for an interim count to be taken,
and special information availability. Fie felt that Tamarac should
work with all the municipalities in the northwest, and should commence
with the City of Plantation, in order to provide a new "count".
As a result of discussions with the City Attorney, the Mayor said it
was recommended that a liaison be established between the County and
and the municipalities. He further stated that the lack of communica-
tion and understanding was causing the County to drift from the muni-
cipalities. The Mayor felt action could be considered for the next
meeting, after a report has been received from the City Attorney.

27. Cable TV Rates - Temp. Ord. #895 - Discussion and possible action on
a request for rate increase by American Video Corporation. First
Reading.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: City Attorney requested to
research the original ordinance; with the item
to be rescheduled at the 7/8/81 meeting.
Jan Brundage of American Video, advised that their presentation would
involve four areas; namely, 1) Tamarac cable TV subscribers service
6/24/81
_10- mr/
problems, which primarily involves cutting cables by developers and
contractors who are widening McNab Road and Commercial Boulevard;
2) Tamarac cable TV construction progress, 3) cable system improve-
ments and additions since the last rate adjustment, and 4) request
for amendment to the ordinance to increase the monthly rates.
Mr. Brundage advised that the objectives of the cable operator is
for reliability of the system, and also qua7i.ty of the TV pictures.
He felt that after the system was electronically rebuilt last year,
at a cost of $100,000.00, the picture quality was more than acceptable
by any one standard. The reliability of the Tamarac system, he said,
was vastly superior, with three exceptions, all of which are beyond
their control; 1) power outages, 2) lightening, and 3) cable cuts
by careless developers and contractors.
Mr. Brundage requested assistance with the careless, destructive people
who are cutting -up the system, disregarding the inconvenience of the
constituents and subscribers, and the extreme cost being expended for
repair of the underground cables. He felt that an ordinance should be
passed, or amend an existing one, which would require a developer or
contractor to contact them prior to digging with a backhoe, trencher
or bulldozer, for cable location. This, he said, was being done by
power, telephone and water utilities.
It was also noted that cable construction in Tamarac encountered
resistance in Mainlands - Section 3 to 9, for cabling these areas.
Subsequently, he said, that permission was obtained from Council to
take votes on whether the residents wanted cable availability. He
said that 200 wanted cable to be available, but not purchase, from
a total of 2,940 homes. But, he said, steady progress has been made
in other areas of Tamarac, with 9,327 homes having been passed in, June
of 1979, with 3199 customers; in June of 1980, with 10,176 home.s.,. and
3499 customers, He further stated that by the end of. 1980, there. were
3707 customers; end of May 1981 they had passed 12,195 homes, with
3946 customers, and over 4,000 to -date. He said it was evident that
over 3000 additional homes passed have been added since June of 19794
A1so,458 condominiums to be completed within two weeks, and 496 condos
to be pre -wired during construction, 22 homes in the Isles of Tamarac
pending release,with cable now provided for the Water Department complex
on 61st Street, as requested, and cable for the 88th Avenue Fire Station
Mr. Brundage noted that recent technilogical improvements have per-
mitted them to upgrade the Tamarac system from 25 to 35 channels, which
was completed early this year, and enhances channel capacity, along
with the quality of the pictures. He additionally stated that the new
"earth" station in Tamarac also improves picture quality, and indi-
cated the hew programming which has been added, was received with an
excellent response after a survey was taken.
He noted that programming costs, interest rates, gasoline, electricity
and payroll, have all increased rapidly in the past two years, with
an inflation:increase of approximately 30%. They would be, he said,
increasing their basic rates by 18%, which involves $1.50 per month,
and additional outlets would be $1.00. Mr. Brundage noted that their
proposed rates went into effect in seven Broward cities on June lst;
with the increased rates in Tamarac to be effective as of September lst.
Mr. Birken said he did not know the requirements for the other utilities
and whether it was by ordinance, or a practice of the Engineering De-
partment. He did suggest that whatever is presently being done for
the utilities, should be similar for cable TV.
Mayor Falck requested the City Attorney to research requirements of
other utilities, and submit a report to the City Council.
Carl Slatner, a salesman with American Video, said they were very suc-
cessful in Tamarac, and making cable available in a complex or area.
He also responded to a letter of complaint, which was read by the
Mayor, relating to the area of Sands Point, by stating that cable has
been trenched, enabling Building E to have service.
V/M Disraelly indicated that people were tripping over lines, and felt
this was a hazardous condition, on 67th Street, in the 7200 block.
-11- 6/24/81
mr/
Rick Schellar, an Engineer with American Cable, advised that in order
to keep the area functional, it was necessary to run temporary cable
lines because the cable crossing went bad approximately 7 to 10 days
previous. lie did concur this was not done in a safe fashion.
C/M Zemel said there were questions involved, and felt that the ori-
ginal ordinance should be reviewed, which refers to the rates.
Mr. Brundage referred to the monthly rates, and the requested increases.
In response to this, the City Attorney felt there was a discrepancy
on the rates, as noted in the ordinance. Ile said if there is a typo-
graphical error in the ordinance, then it should be discussed at the
next meeting of July 8th, 1981.
Tape
#4 Miriam Kazansky of Section 14, said that she was familiar with
Mr. Brundage and Mr. Sykes, and could be called their "telephone pen --
pal". She further stated there is no service availability, and is in-
termittent.
William Pizner of Section 14, requested that the rate increase be
deferred, because they were paying for services that were not being
rendered. He indicated there was constant interruptions in the TV
services, with "snow" and "blackouts". Mr. Pizner said that it was
almost impossible to contact them for service.
Mayor Falck advised that the item will be further heard at the meeting
of July 8, 1981, at 1:30 P.M.
Mr. Brundage advised that people were always available on the phones
at the company, but when power outages. are involved, they have problems.
They also have 40,000 customers, he said, and lightening and power
problems would make it almost impossible for 5,000 or 10,000 to reach
them at the same time.

ships under the law.

Mr. Himber indicated that at the time of his purchase from Mr. Pruett,
the chainlink fence did have existing barbed wire, but the.additional
barbed wire, on the second parcel, was obtained through a permit.
V/M Disraelly requested the City Clerk to research the records for
approval of the barbed wire. He further stated that the Building Code

not be considered such a loading zone.
