action to award a bid for janitorial service for City facilities.
Authorized City -SYNOPSIS OF ACTION' Authorna er
.Public Works Director to negotiate a 60-day contract
-with low bidder providing.he meets bonding requirements
with Council review after that date.
City Attorney Henning read Temp. Reso. #3264, by title. Public Works
Director Greg Turek advised that 8 vendors bid for this service, all. of
whom were prequalified. Mr. Turek stated that Staff recommends that the
second vendor be awarded the bid by virtue of his reputation with Southern
Bell, as opposed to the low bidder who did not have a reasonable estimate
of time for completion of the work and is relatively new. Mr. Turek
advised that the current contract is with the third bidder, Corporate
Cleaning, until the end of the month.
-2- 9/12/84
/cmt
Vice Mayor Stein asked the difference between the low bidder and the one
recommended by Staff. Mr. Turek advised that it is $533.00 per month.
In reply to Vice Mayor Stein, Mr. Turek advised that the total contract
of the bidder recommended by Staff is $1,408.00 per month; the current
contract is $2,200.00; and the low bidder is $875.00. Mr. Turek added
that the low bid is unrealistic and the bidder has never done anything
comparable to the City's service.
Vice Mayor Stein said that when a service can cost the City $500.00 less
by taking a different vendor, it should be considered; and it could be
the first big contract that would help this small business grow. C/M
Munitz asked if a trial contract could be negotiated with the vendor to
determine if he can handle this size of service. Mr. Turek advised that
it would involve going out for bid again and the City Attorney stated
that the bids are valid for 60 days. Vice Mayor Stein reviewed the other
bids and suggested that the bid be awarded to the low bidder.
C/M Munitz MOVED that the City Manager and the Public Works Director be
authorized to negotiate a 60-day contract with the lowest bidder, providing
that he meet all requirements for bonding; and that Council review the
contract performance after that period. Vice Mayor Stein SECONDED.

installation of the dome and biofilter. Discussion and possible
action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Status Report by
Consulting City Attorney Alan Ruf.
Council confirmed his letter of 8/16/84
modifying the contract with E&A.
C/M Munitz stated that it was his understanding that these were already
installed and the City Attorney advised that the final payment has not been
released due to some minor problems last month and Mr. Ruf would provide
status on that. Consulting City Attorney Alan Ruf reported that there was
a problem in the construction of the bio-filter at the West plant during
the month of August, and the City Attorney's office was asked to intervene
on an emergency basis. Mr. Ruf advised that after much discussion, a
meeting was held with Staff and a substitute letter of agreement dated
August 16, 1984 was prepared and is attached to his memo on this subject.
Mr. Ruf continued that the contractor alleged that specific inspections
were not held in a timely manner and asked for $12,000.00 in extras because
of that; however this was negotiated down to $4,000.00. Mr. Ruf stated that
with this agreement the Contractor was to proceed immediately with his
obligations to complete the project. He said that they advised yesterday
that the project was completed; however Frank Barbuto of the City's
Engineering Department indicates that there are approximately $10,000.00
in non -completed items. Mr. Ruf advised that this is the status to date
and asked for confirmation of the modification of the contract as set
forth in his letter.
Vice Mayor Stein MOVED to confirm the letter modifying the contract with
E&A. C/M Munitz SECONDED.
C/M Dunne asked if the new Engineering Director was aware of this and Mr. Ruf
stated that he was. Mr. Ruf advised that the only requirement for the
Utility Director is to make sure that the work is complete; and no payment
will be made until that time.

Treatment Plant and Disposal Facilities.
#3158 - Discussion and possible action to
an Agreement with North Springs Improvement
of Tamarac's excess capacity in the Broward
Treatment Plant and Disposal Facilities
RESOLUTION NO. R-84_,t&(.- PASSED
City Attorney Henning read Temp. Reso. #3158, in its entirety. Mr. Henning
advised that the payment on this Agreement is $186,711.84 effective
September 30th, instead of that listed in the back --up. Mr. Ruf explained
that Tamarac is fully subscribed for its excess capacity and added that this
will be the first step in assigning away that excess capacity in the North
Regional Plant. He said that this finalizes any commitment to participate__ --
,in the North Region in excess of the 2.41 which will be sent from east of NW
64th Avenue through the pipeline at Grants(sunshine)Plaza. He continued that
this will be the first of several Resolutions that will come to Council -from
various Governmental agencies taking the excess capacity, to end .the possibility....
. _. _ ....... .._. -- ,of sending untreated wastewater to the North Regional Plant. He stated that
this is the recommendation of Staff and the Consultants.
Mr. Ruf advised that Tamarac has been escrowing about a million and a half
dollars in payments which the County__claims is owed them and -_this -..agreement
_ __ --- is a method by which at least 2/3 of that will be paid by other Governmental
agencies, freeing approximately a million dollars to the City of Tamarac
for other purposes. He added that counsel is still negotiating with the
County regarding these payments and their claims, because they did not
construct the interceptor for the operation.
Vice Mayor Stein MOVED to adopt Temp. Reso. #3158. C/M Dunne SECONDED.
C/M Stelzer asked what account the million dollars is in now and where it
will be placed. Finance Director Steve Wood advised that it is now in
Broward County Escrow Fund #424-Utilities West Account and on financial
statements it will be treated as an expenditure of the system. He added
that it will become Miscellaneous Revenue to the system at this point.
John Lachmann, resident, asked if all lands were provided for by relinquishing
the capacity now. Vice Mayor Stein advised that the system is not even pumping
close to capacity yet and is going to bid for a force main under the Turnpike-
., - .._..._._._._ ..---.._.. -
to push excess capacity through. He added that what the City is releasing

has no effect at all.

VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE
a) Mr. Ruf advised that his memo of September 10th provides status on this
subject. He added that he met with Mr. Tralins after that date and was
advised that the client withdrew, subject to his participation in the planning
of the land uses in the south half of Land Section 7. Mr. Ruf continued that
attempts are still being made to locate the 40 acres needed for municipal
purposes and stated that the city s offers on two additional parcels in the
north were rejected.
Mr. Ruf referred to Council's authorization for him to negotiate with Mr.
May for approximately 40 acres on the north section line adjacent to the
Sawgrass Expressway and added that Mr. May agreed to sell at $16,000.00 per
acre providing that the City would rezone approximately 15 acres of land
north of the mid -section line to Office/Park. Mr. Ruf stated that he stopped
negotiations with Mr. May because he understood that Council and Staff had
rejected that previously in favor of residential zoning. He added however
that in discussion with the City Planner, Mr. Rubin indicated that there should
be no problem in moving the canal from the mid -section line.
C/M Munitz asked how that would affect the density and the 1,526 residential
units already there. Mr. Ruf replied that by buying Mr. May's parcel, the
City would be getting approximately 400 dwelling units which could be sold
at a potential asset of $800,000.00, which would actually exceed the purchase
price of the acreage. He added that it is Mr. Rubin's opinion that this
could be compatible depending on the placement of the canal system; and added
that the outfall is at the northwest corner.
C/M Munitz asked how this would affect the distance from the Isles of Tamarac
and the industrial area. Mr. Rubin stated that the water line is now approxi-
mately 2600 feet from the Isles of Tamarac and pointed out the areas on a
map displayed of Land Section 7. He explained that there is some latitude
for movement and wherever the utility plant is located, the waterline will be
placed around it as a buffer for the residential area. C/M Munitz pointed
out that the plant will be directly opposite the new residential area that
will someday be built and Mr. Rubin explained that there would be a 120-foot
canal separating it in addition to a 6-foot high berm and two rows of trees
and hedges to be placed there for buffers. C/M Munitz stated that the plant
should be as far south as possible, away from the residential areas.
Vice Mayor Stein agreed, but stated that the land was not available and the
plant must be placed on the available land. C/M Munitz asked if this would
be a type of contract zoning and Mr. Ruf explained that the Land Use Plan
could be amended to provide for the rezoning. Mr. Ruf asked for the authority
to continue negotiations with George May based on the new information from
the City Planner. Mayor Kravitz authorized Mr. Ruf to proceed and to report
back to Council.

Tape 15. Broward Sheriff's Office - Status report by the City Manager regarding
4 inquiries made to the BSO for their services in the City.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Report given.
TABLED for further information and
a Workshop Meeting.
Acting City Manager Steve Wood advised that a preliminary proposal by BSO
has been received from Sheriff Brescher and a Council decision is needed as
to whether or not to proceed with the proposal. At the Mayor's request,
Mr. Wood continued that the original inquiry was for the Sheriff's Office
to advise of the type of services that they could perform; how much it
would cost; and the savings to the City. Mr. Wood stated that the initial
report demonstrated a preliminary savings of $233,206.00 for the first year
and added that Council should consider the impact on revenues currently
being collected by the Police Department. He added that another major
concern is the construction of the police facility and the debt service on
that facility if it is not constructed. Mayor Kravitz asked for confirmation
that all of the figures were still not available and that further study will
be needed. Mr. Wood confirmed that. C/M Munitz stated that this is a
conceptual idea for consideration of the feasibility to proceed. C/M Stelzer
stated that Council must also consider how much rent the City will get for
the building and suggested that all of the facts be presented for discussion
at the same time.
Major Richard T. Simpson, Director of Law Enforcement of Broward County
Sheriff's Office, advised that he; Michael Woodra, Finance Director; John
Solenwagner, Personnel Director; and Major Al Kline, Liaison and Lauderdale
Lakes Chief of Police, are available to respond to questions regarding this
tentative proposal.
9/12/84
/cmt
In reply to Mayor Kravitz, Major Simpson advised that they have had requests
from other cities for the same proposal, and added that currently Lauderdale
Lakes, Lauderhill, Pembroke Pines, an& the glrport are under-contractua
services.
C/M Munitz advised that he originally inquired into this area because of his
concern for the cost to the taxpayers, if they want this, to happen, and what
effect it would have on the health, safety and welfare of the people. He
continued that the financial aspects are significant but they must consider
the revenues collected, the rental charge for the building, and the savings
of approximately $400,000.00 per year by not building the new police facility,
through amortization in bonds. C/M Munitz stated that at this point he wants
to gather information and input from all sources before proceeding with the
proposal.
Vice Mayor Stein suggested that all of this should have been done prior to
having BSO and FOP representatives available for discussion. Mr. Wood stated
that the BSO is here to determine if the City wants to proceed on this proposal
and suggested that they should be given that decision today.
C/M Dunne asked Major Simpson if the BSO can do as good a job as the City's
Police Department. Major Simpson replied that the BSO does not intend to come
into a City and change its services; they believe in the City concept; and
the contract states that no more than 10% of the City force can be moved in
any one year. He added that the personnel would not change - only their
uniforms and the color of the cars. Major Simpson advised that there will
also be no change to the revenues collected; that amount will be returned
to the City. City Attorney Henning explained that there are three aspects
to each fine:
1 - court costs which go to the Clerk's Office
2 - educational funds which are $2.00 per ticket and are earmarked
by the State for educational purposes - these would go to BSO
for the education of our officers
3 - remainder is General Revenue and will go to the City
Mike McGrane, Vice President of Federal Order of Police, Tamarac Lodge 97,
stated that they were in the middle of labor negotiations when advised of
this proposal and have had workshops with the BSO on this subject since that
time. He advised that 68 officers were polled with the following questions
to determine the current concensus of FOP members to pursue the proposal;
with 46 responses as indicated:
1. Are you in favor of the proposed contract for police service with
BSO? (39 yes; 4 no; 2 abstentions)
2. Do you want the FOP of Tamarac Lodge 97 and the City of Tamarac to
continue to study the feasibility of the proposed contract with the BSO?
(44 yes; 1 no; 1 abstention).
Mr. McGrane stated that he has distributed to the Press, to Council, to the
Police Chief and to Lodge members, reports stating the criteria for their
final decision in approving this contract which includes:
1 -- what quality and level of service the City Council intends to
provide to the City of Tamarac.
2 - what is in the best interest of the citizens of Tamarac.
3 - what is in the best interest of the members of Tamarac FOP Lodge 97.
4 -- participation by Lodge 97 in the contracting of the services.
Mr, McGrane continued that the criteria includes that the Lodge must be involved
in anything that has an impact on the bargaining unit members. He stated that
there have been many rumors and announced that the FOP is the official spokes-
man for the bargaining unit members and they will not sanction any statements
by members of the Police Department to either mislead, encourage, or discourage
this proposal at this time; statements will be limited to the speaker.
He continued that in consultation with the FOP attorney, the following points
must also be discussed and incorporated into the contract:
- the quality of services to be provided to the citizens of Tamarac would
have to remain the same.
--12-- 9/12/84
/cmt
i
- The Sheriff will be required to respond to the same types of requests
,for police service that the City Police do. Mr. McGrane advised
Council that they could also include a provision in the contract that
should any Tamarac officer not be available, a County officer will be
assigned to patrol in that officer's absence.
- That all Tamarac Police officers will be guaranteed a position and there
will be a normal transition of personnel, laterally, without question.
-- There will be no loss of benefits to the officers; it will be the
individual's option to stay in the current City Pension System or
the Florida Retirement System and the City's provisions for buy-back
of Sick Leave, vacation time, and personal leave will apply.
- That the Sheriff's office will honor all promotional positions and
supervisory positions; and they will be able to remain in those positions
without a reduction in rank.
- Seniority will be honored for all Police officers and there will be a
lateral entry from the date of hire with the City of Tamarac.
-- There will be no loss of pay and there will be a comparable service level
and opportunity for advancement.
- That the Specialty Assignments will remain the same and they will be
transferred to those positions in BSO.
Mr. McGrane stated that it is the FOP's opinion that if the City is serious
about this proposal, then we should continue to go forward with the proposal;
if not, then labor negotiations should be continued to agree upon a contract
for the City's Police Department.
Curt Rosenfeld, Director of Civil Defense and Crimewatch for Fairhaven 11,
spoke in favor of retaining the City's Police Department and advised that
it was his understanding that the Lauderhill City Council was considering
going back to their City police operation.
Amy Lew, resident, spoke on behalf of the Bermuda Club for retaining the
City's Police Force. She asked how high the BSO contractual fee would go.
Bernie Hart, resident, suggested that a Workshop be held for discussion after
all information is available.
Iry Schneider,resident, spoke on behalf of Sabal Palms for retaining the
City's Police Department.
Morris Haber , resident, spoke in favor of the City's Police Department.

of specific design and costs could be provided to Council within the next two

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:

invoiced, Agendized by Consent.
a) APPROVED design development
and authorized Miller & Meier to proceed with working
drawings for the City Hall only. b) APPROVED payment
of $35,000.00 to Miller.&.Meier for services, as
invoiced. (See Page 1)
a) Craig Kenyon of Miller & Meier advised that the design is substantially
complete and they can begin working drawings after Council action today. He
displayed the architects' rendering of the new complex and explained that the
drawing shows the City Hall facility, the Police facility and the existing
Firehouse. He stated that the site plan is going through platting review by
Craven & Thompson and has been submitted to the County. C/M Dunne asked the
cost of the Police facility and Mr. Kenyon estimated the building at $2.2Million
and City Hall at $3.5Million. Mr. Kenyon added that they plan to go out for
bid in January 1985 and estimate a year for construction. He added that they
have already received many inquiries from contractors.
Mayor Kravitz advised that Council action is required to authorize Miller &
Meier to proceed to the next phase. City Attorney Henning added that Council
must first approve the drawing and the site plan as submitted for this phase,
which includes the location of the Police facility. Vice Mayor Stein stated
Tape that the concept and the floor plan are being approved but suggested that no
7 decision be made on the Police facility at this time. C/M Munitz asked the
cost of proceeding with two separate buildings and Mr. Kenyon advised that
the total cost for the Police facility, including the building and the site
around it, is $2.5Million. C/M Munitz asked if there could be savings by
having both buildings at the same time and Mr. Kenyon replied that by bidding
both projects together as a $7Million package, savings are more likely.

City Ball could be considered for sale. He added that the new facility could
then be used for the Police Department or rented to the BSO for the police
services, if that is approved.

for Use of Reserve Ambulance. Andizedl by consent,
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: a) APPROVED on First Reading.
b) Authorized Acting City Manager to execute 2--year
contract with Sunrise
a) City Attorney Henning read Temp, Ord, # 1136, by title. He explained that
the enactment of this Ordinance is one of the crucial steps in establishing
this ambulance service. He added that it creates a new Chapter 3A establishing
the various provisions for the service. He referred to the bottom of page I
regarding emergency transportation in an ambulance and stated that there are
several types of transportation in an emergency - the ambulance service would
be used for -urgently transporting a patient from an accident or illness who
could not be transported in a car or who needs medical treatment along with
the transportation.
Mr. Henning continued that the Fire Department will develop the service and
control, man and supervise the service; firefighters will have a dual purpose
as emergency medical technicians along with being firefighters. He added that
they will receive proper training for this purpose. He said that there are
two types of life support: basic life support and advanced life support; and
continued that these firefighters/technicians will be providing basic life
support. The City will still be using paramedic services of the Broward County
Emergency Medical Service for advanced life support.
Mr. Henning advised that the Service will need a Certificate of Convenience and
Necessity which is a County licensing requirement and as soon as the ambulances
are outfitted, they will be ready for the on -site inspection to obtain that
license.
The City Attorney continued that in preparing this Ordinance, the provisions
of the appropriate Florida Statutes were tracked. He referred to page F
regarding Emergency Calls, and stated that the service would only be used
for emergency services and expect patients to use the services of Medics
Ambulance Service or any other service to provide for non -emergency transporta-
tion.
C/M Stelzer referred to page 3, line 10, and stated that he is concerned about
the intubation process being done by medical technicians. He asked 'how the
City stands with liability. Mr. Henning said that this is part of the techni-
cians' training before being certified by State standards. Fire Chief Simon
said that esophageal intubation is very seldom ever done because the team is
usually riding directly ahead or behind a paramedic unit; however its is covered
under Florida Statute 401-23 and all technicians will be familiar with the
process. C/M Stelzer suggested that it should be deleted to protect the City.
Fire Chief Simon referred C/M Stelzer to page 6, lines 2 through 8, and stated
that this is standard operating procedure and has been approved by the Medical
Director of the EMS. He assured that the technicians will stop at Basic Life
Support systems, IIe advised that the procedures of this Ordinance tried to
parallel Chapter 401 of the State: Statutes, Chapter 3j� a1- the Browata County
Administrative Code, and 1066 of the Florida Administrative Code; and the
City is in full compliance with these so far.
City Attorney Henning advised that there were some corrections and changes to
be made to the Temporary Ordinance and reviewed those: On Page 5, delete sub-
paragraph n) and renumber the paragraphs appropriately after that. Delete the
last three words in subparagraph o). On page 6, delete subparagraphs b) and
c) and renumber appropriately. Mr. Henning added that it was recommended that
the fee be an even $75.00. Chief Simon advised that 80% of that would be paid
by Medicare and the remainder by supplemental or private insurance coverage.
Amend subparagraph d) to read: "b) The Service shall accept any insurance or
assignment, or medicare assignment, as full or part payment of the above fee,
which conforms to applicable law." In last sentence of paragraph g), delete
"in excess of the Service's fees".

C/M Munitz asked if the service referred to in paragraph c) on page. 2 must
begin and end in Tamarac. Chief Simon advised that a patient must be trans-
ported to the hospital directed by the doctor, but service must originate in
Tamarac. Mr. Henning advised that "or" should be changed to "for" in this
subparagraph.
C/M Munitz referred to page 6, subparagraph e) and assumed that this is to
file Medicare or insurance claims. Mr. Henning stated that there are three
alternatives: The City can handle all of the paperwork; they can handle the
paperwork and assign uncollectibles to an Agency or Administrator; or they
can hire an Agency or Administrator to handle all of the work. Mr. Wood
recommended that a third party be contracted to do the billing and receive
a percentage of the amount collected. Mr. Henning added that this would be
subject to Council approval at a later date. C/M Munitz stated that the
budget has been approved and asked what items were included in Revenue and
Expenses. Mr. Wood explained that there is $55,000.00 in the Revenues of
the General Fund; and the Expenditures are as detailed by the Chief at the
Budget meetings at $18,000.00. Chief Simon advised that that amount would
be increased if the Ambulance Service is not approved, due to the need for
using Fire equipment. C/M Munitz asked if the cost of this collection service
Tape was included in the budget and Mr. Wood replied that it was.not.

Vice Mayor Stein MOVED to adopt Temp. Ord. # 1136. C/M Munitz SECONDED.
Vickie Beech, resident, expressed her doubt that the City has the necessary
expertise to undertake this type of extensive proposition. She advised that
a new City Manager could analyze and respond to the needs of the City and
she does not feel that the City should get into a project with so much liability
involved at this time.
Jim Godin, resident, expressed his concern over a blanket policy to cover
liability and Mr. Wood advised that the City is insured for malpractice and
also has a general liability policy.
Irving Fenichel, Chairman of the Ambulance Committee, stated that the most
important thing with this service is the saving of lives. Ile advised that when
attending EMT training, he learned that if a cardiac arrest victim is treated
within 5 minutes, that person can be saved. I:e added that with this ambulance
service, the response time could be as quick as 31� minutes.
Amy Lew, resident, asked who would determine the emergency. Chief Simon stated
that the legislation covers procedures for this determination and in addition,
the service is covered with a back-up ambulance to handle multiple emergencies.
Morton Student, resident, spoke in favor of the ambulance service.
Alice Norian, resident, suggested that Council contemplate the input of the
new City Manager on this subject. Mayor Kravitz pointed out that this is
only the First Reading.
b) Vice Mayor Stein advised that the County requires that we have a back-up

contract would be for 2 years and will take effect upon approval by both
Cities. C/M Munitz SECONDED.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
Further discussion held for input
by. the....new City__Managex �A endized by Consent on Page 1)
C/M Munitz reported that he received a letter from Bernie Hart, President of
the Presidents Council requesting that he be heard on a matter with regard
to Parks & Recreation. Bernie Hart advised that the matter is in'.regard to
what the Presidents Council believes to be a public debasement of the reputa-
tion of the City in the Press and an insult to the majority of the citizens.
He stated that the Presidents Council represents 67 associations within the
City, and 50 of those were at a meeting yesterday where 46 voted to bring
this item before Council.
Mr. Hart referred to statements published in the Miami Herald Neighbors on
September 9th and quoted that article. He said that the Presidents Council
is not questioning the validity of C/M Dunne's position on the subject of
Parks & Recreation because they believe his intentions are sincere. Mr.
Hart suggested that if a Department Head has a specific problem with a Council
member or Liaison, that Department Head has the right to come before the Council
or the City Manager in an effort to resolve the problem; but statements should
not be made to the Press that tend to create a division among the people of
the City.
Mr. Hart continued that Sharon Ellis's statements are an accusation of bias
and the Presidents Council suggests that she explain and be chastised by
appropriate City Officials; and added that if she did make the statement as
published, that the Senior Citizens of this City are entitled to an apology.
Mr. Hart stated that this mornings West Section is a continuance of the
same situation and suggested that the Press articles have given Tamarac a
bad name.
Mr. Hart stated that in discussions with Norman Karr, Parks Commissioner, Mr.
Karr has advised that they are getting everything they ask for in Parks &
Recreation .from the current administration. Mr. Hart expressed the Presidents
Council's belief that above all else, every City employee and especially the
Department IIeads, should consider the public reputation of the City. lie
said that the problem is being turned over to Council for action and asked
that the Presidents Council be advised of the status of that action.

the City's reputation and he has cautioned her previously regarding
ments that he had heard. C/M Munitz stated however that there are t

taken
C/M Stelzer stated that the problem of the old versus the young residents in
this City were present under the previous administration also and reviewed
some of those instances. C/M Stelzer suggested that C/M Dunne has separated
the residents of the City in other instances each time he refers to the
residents east of 441 as "his" people. C/M Stelzer stated that this is one
City and Council was elected to represent all of the people. C/M Stelzer
admitted that Sharon Ellis made a mistake with her statements to the Press.
C/M Dunne explained that his actions have been because of his concern for
the residents in the District East of 441. Vice Mayor Stein stated that
there should be no division within the City. C/M Munitz suggested that
whether or not C/M Dunne's intentions were right or wrong should not be a
part of this discussion; the statements by Sharon Ellis are the subj-ect of
this discussion.
C/M Dunne suggested that the residents should be asked if they want recrea-
tional facilities that are being provided. He suggested that the concept of
the Park was not offered to the residents and the location of the Park being
built is not even in Tamarac, even though the land was donated to the City.
C/M Dunne stated that he is not against Parks & Recreation facilities; and
suggested that it could be handled sensibly with the funds provided for that
purpose, and should not be used for any other purpose.
Amy Lew, resident, stated that the retired community of this City has never
denied anything to the younger residents. She stated that the statements made
by Sharon Ellis were disgusting and if she feels that way about the City, she
should not be working for the City.
Vickie Beech, resident, stated that she believes this Council has done everything
Possible for Parks & Recreation and Ms. Ellis has a very flippant attitude toward
residents with questions regarding her Department.
C/M Stelzer stated that he believes the statements of Sharon Ellis were provoked
by the situation in the City which created the division.
Mayor Kravitz advised that there will be no action taken by Council at this
time and if such is considered in the future, it will be discussed at that time.

14. Bid Award - Public Works -- Temp. Reso. #3264 - Discussion and possible
action to award a bid for janitorial service for City facilities.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Authorized City Manager and
Public Works Director to negotiate a 60-day contract
with low bidder providing he meets bonding requirements
-.with Council review after that date.
City Attorney Henning read Temp. Reso. #3264, by title. Public Works
Director Greg Turek advised that 8 vendors bid for this service, all of
whom were prequalified. Mr. Turek stated that Staff recommends that the
second vendor be awarded the bid by virtue of his reputation with Southern
Bell, as opposed to the low bidder who did not have a reasonable estimate
of time for completion of the work and is relatively new. Mr. Turek
advised that the current contract is with the third bidder, Corporate
Cleaning, until the end of the month.
-2- 9/12/84

Vice Mayor Stein asked the difference between the low bidder and the one
recommended by Staff. Mr. Turek advised that it is $533.00 per month.
In reply to Vice Mayor Stein, Mr. Turek advised that the total contract
of the bidder recommended by Staff is $1,408.00 per month; the current
contract is $2,200.00; and the low bidder is $875.00. Mr. Turek added
that the low bid is unrealistic and the bidder has never done anything
comparable to the City's service.
Vice Mayor Stein said that when a service can cost the City $500.00 less
by taking a different vendor, it should be considered; and it could be
the first big contract that would help this small business grow. C/M
Munitz asked if a trial contract could be negotiated with the vendor to
determine if he can handle this size of service. Mr. Turek advised that
it would involve going out for bid again and the City Attorney stated
that the bids are valid for 60 days. Vice Mayor Stein reviewed the other
bids and suggested that the bid be awarded to the low bidder.
C/M Munitz MOVED that the City Manager and the Public Works Director be
authorized to negotiate a 60-day contract with the lowest bidder, providing
that he meet all requirements for bonding; and that Council review the
contract performance after that period. Vice Mayor Stein SECONDED.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Status Report by

Council confirmed his letter of 8/16/84
modifying the contract with E&A.
C/M Munitz stated that it was his understanding that these were already

released due to some minor problems last month and Mr. Ruf would provide
status on that. Consulting City Attorney Alan Ruf reported that there was
a problem in the construction of the bio-filter at the West plant during
the month of August, and the City Attorney's office was asked to intervene
on an emergency basis. Mr. Ruf advised that after much discussion, a
meeting was held with Staff and a substitute letter of agreement dated
August 16, 1984 was prepared and is attached to his memo on this subject.
Mr. Ruf continued that the contractor alleged that specific inspections
were not held in a timely manner and asked for $12,000.00 in extras because
of that; however this was negotiated down to $4,000.00. Mr. Ruf stated that
with this agreement the Contractor was to proceed immediately with his
obligations to complete the project. He said that they advised yesterday
that the project was completed; however Frank Barbuto of the City's
Engineering Department indicates that there are approximately $10,000.00
in non -completed items. Mr. Ruf advised that this is the status to date
and asked for confirmation of the modification of the contract as set
forth in his letter.

authorize execution of an Agreement with North Springs Improvement
District for transfer of Tamarac's excess capacity in the Froward
County North Regional Treatment Plant and Disposal Facilities
(tabled from 5/23/84).
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. R-84-_.1,&4-__PASSED
execution of Agreement
with North Springs Improvement District
for transfer of Tamarac's excess capacity
in the Broward County North Regional
Treatment Plant and Disposal Facilities.
City Attorney Henning read Temp. Reso. #3158, in its entirety. Mr. Henning
advised that the payment on this Agreement is $186,711.84 effective
September 30th, instead of that listed in the back --up. Mr. Ruf explained
that Tamarac is fully subscribed for its excess capacity and added that this
will be the first step in assigning away that excess capacity in the North
Regional Plant. He said that this finalizes any commitment to participate
in the North Region in excess of the 2.41 which will be sent from east of NW
64th Avenue through_ the pipeline at Grants(Sunshine)Plaza. He continued that
this will be the first of several Resolutions that w i 1 1 come to Council from
various Governmental agencies taking the excess capacity, to end the possibility
of sending untreated wastewater to the North Regional Plant. He stated that
this_.is the.._..r.eeQmtnea�ation of Staff_ and the Consultants.
Mr. Ruf advised that Tamarac has been escrowing about a million and a half
dollars _ in payments,- which County ._claims __ owed them and t_h s agreement.
-..is.a method by which at least 2/3 of that will be paid by other Governmental
agencies, freeing approximately a million dollars to the City of Tamarac
for other purposes. lie added that counsel is still negotiating with the
County regarding these payments and their claims, because they did not
construct the interceptor for the operation.
Vice Mayor Stein MOVED to adopt Temp. Reso. #3158. C/M Dunne SECONDED.
C/M Stelzer asked what account the million dollars is in now and where it
will be placed. Finance Director Steve Wood advised that it is now in
Broward County Escrow Fund #424-Utilities West Account and on financial
statements it will be treated as an expenditure of the system. He added
that it will become Miscellaneous Revenue to the system at this point.
John Lachmann, resident, asked if all lands were provided for by relinquishing
the capacity now. Vice Mayor Stein advised that the system is not even pumping
close to capacity yet and is going to bid for a force main under the Turnpike
to push excess capacity through. He added that what the City is releasing
has no effect at all.

a) Mr. Ruf advised that his memo of September lOth provides status on this
subject. He added that he met with Mr. Tralins after that date and was
advised that the client withdrew, subject to his participation in the planning
of the land uses in the south half of Land Section 7. Mr. Ruf continued that
attempts are still being made to locate the 40 acres needed for municipal
purposes and stated that the city's offers on two additional parcels in the
north were rejected.
Mr. Ruf referred to Council's authorization for him to negotiate with Mr.
May for approximately 40 acres on the north section line adjacent to the
Sawgrass Expressway and added that Mr. May agreed to sell at $16,000.00 per
acre providing that the City would rezone approximately 15 acres of land
north of the mid -section line to Office/Park. Mr. Ruf stated that he stopped
negotiations with Mr. May because he understood that Council and Staff had
rejected that previously in favor of residential zoning. He added however
that in discussion with the City Planner, Mr. Rubin indicated that there should
be no problem in moving the canal from the mid -section line.
C/M Munitz asked how that would affect the density and the 1,526 residential
units already there. Mr. Ruf replied that by buying Mr. May's parcel, the
City would be getting approximately 400 dwelling units which could be sold
at a potential asset of $800,000.00, which would actually exceed the purchase
price of the acreage. He added that it is Mr. Rubin's opinion that this
could be compatible depending on the placement of the canal system; and added
that the outfall is at the northwest corner.
C/M Munitz asked how this would affect the distance from the Isles of Tamarac
and the industrial area. Mr. Rubin stated that the water line is now approxi-
mately 2600 feet from the Isles of Tamarac and pointed out the areas on a
map displayed of Land Section 7. He explained that there is some latitude
for movement and wherever the utility plant is located, the waterline will be
placed around it as a buffer for the residential area. C/M Munitz pointed
out that the plant will be directly opposite the new residential area that
will someday be built and Mr. Rubin explained that there would be a 120-foot
canal separating it in addition to a 6-foot high berm and two rows of trees
and hedges to be placed there for buffers. C/M Munitz stated that the plant
should be as far south as possible, away from the residential areas.
Vice Mayor Stein agreed, but stated that the land was not available and the
plant must be placed on the available land. C/M Munitz asked if this would
be a type of contract zoning and Mr. Ruf explained that the Land Use Plan
could be amended to provide for the rezoning. Mr. Ruf asked for the authority
to continue negotiations with George May based on the new information from
the City Planner. Mayor Kravitz authorized Mr. Ruf to proceed and to report
back to Council.

Tape 15. Broward Sheriff's Office - Status report by the City Manager regarding
4 inquiries made to the BSO for their services in the City.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Report given.
TABLED for further information and
a Workshop Meeting.
Acting City Manager Steve Wood advised that a preliminary proposal by BSO
has been received from Sheriff Brescher and a Council decision is needed as
to whether or not to proceed with the proposal. At the Mayor's request,
Mr. Wood continued that the original inquiry was for the Sheriff's Office
to advise of the type of services that they could perform; how much it
would cost; and the savings to the City. Mr. Wood stated that the initial
report demonstrated a preliminary savings of $233,206.00 for the first year
and added that Council should consider the impact on revenues currently
being collected by the Police Department. He added that another major
concern is the construction of the police facility and the debt service on
that facility if it is not constructed. Mayor Kravitz asked for confirmation
that all of the figures were still not available and that further study will
be needed. Mr. Wood confirmed that. C/M Munitz stated that this is a
conceptual idea for consideration of the feasibility to proceed. C/M Stelzer
stated that Council must also consider how much rent the City will get for
the building and suggested that all of the facts be presented for discussion
at the same time.
Major Richard T. Simpson, Director of Law Enforcement of Broward County
Sheriff's Office, advised that he; Michael Woodra, Finance Director; John
Solenwagner, Personnel Director; and Major Al Kline, Liaison and Lauderdale
Lakes Chief of Police, are available to respond to questions regarding this
tentative proposal.
-11- 9/12/84
/cmt
In reply to Mayor Kravitz, Major Simpson advised that they have had requests
from other cities for the same proposal and added that currently Lauderdale
Lakes, Lauderhill, Pembroke Pines, and the Airport are under contractual
services.
C/M Munitz advised that he originally inquired into this area because of his
concern for the cost to the taxpayers, if they want 'this. to happen, and what
effect it would have on the health, safety and welfare of the people. He
continued that the financial aspects are significant but they must consider
the revenues collected, the rental charge for the building, and the savings
of approximately $400,000.00 per year by not building the new police facility,
through amortization in bonds. C/M Munitz stated that at this point he wants
to gather information and input from all sources before proceeding with the
proposal.
Vice Mayor Stein suggested that all of this should have been done prior to
having BSO and FOP representatives available for discussion. Mr. Wood stated
that the BSO is here to determine if the City wants to proceed on this proposal
and suggested that they should be given that decision today.
C/M Dunne asked Major Simpson if the BSO can do as good a job as the City's
Police Department. Major Simpson replied that the BSO does not intend to come
into a City and change its services; they believe in the City concept; and
the contract states that no more than 10% of the City force can be moved in
any one year. He added that the personnel would not change - only their
uniforms and the color of the cars. Major Simpson advised that there will
also be no change to the revenues collected; that amount will be returned
to the City. City Attorney Henning explained that there are three aspects
to each fine:
1 - court costs which go to the Clerk's Office
2 - educational funds which are $2.00 per ticket and are earmarked
by the State for educational purposes - these would go to BSO
for the education of our officers
3 - remainder is General Revenue and will go to the City
Mike McGrane, Vice President of Federal Order of Police, Tamarac Lodge 97,
stated that they were in the middle of labor negotiations when advised of
this proposal and have had workshops with the BSO on this subject since that
time. He advised that 68 officers were polled with the following questions
to determine the current consensus of FOP members to pursue the proposal;
with 46 responses as indicated:
1. Are you in favor of the proposed contract for police service with
BSO? (39 yes; 4 no; 2 abstentions)
2. Do you want the FOP of Tamarac Lodge 97 and the City of Tamarac to
'_continue to study the feasibility of the proposed contract with the BSO?
;'`(44 yes; l no; 1 abstention).
Mr. McGrane stated that he has distributed to the Press, to Council, to the
Police Chief and to Lodge members, reports stating the criteria for their
final decision in approving this contract which includes: .
1 -- what quality and level of service the City Council intends to
provide to the City of Tamarac.
2 - what is in the best interest of the citizens of Tamarac.
3 - what is in the best interest of the members of Tamarac FOP Lodge 97.
4 - participation by Lodge 97 in the contracting of the services.
Mr, McGrane continued that the criteria includes that the Lodge must be involved
in anything that has an impact on the bargaining unit members. He stated that
there have been many rumors and announced that the FOP is the official spokes-
man for the bargaining unit members and they will not sanction any statements
by members of the Police Department to either mislead, encourage, or discourage
this proposal at this time; statements will be limited to the speaker.
He continued that in consultation with the FOP attorney, the following points
must also be discussed and incorporated into the contract:
- the quality of services to be provided to the citizens of Tamarac would
have to remain the same.
--12- 9/12/84
/cmt
The Sheriff will be required to respond to the same types of requests
for police service that the City Police do. Mr. McGrane advised
Council that they could also include a provision in the contract that
should any Tamarac officer not be available, a County officer will be
assigned to patrol in that officer's absence.
- That all Tamarac Police officers will be guaranteed a position and there
will be a normal transition of personnel, laterally, without question.
There will be no loss of benefits to the officers; it will be the
individual's option to stay in the current City Pension System or
the Florida Retirement System and the City's provisions for buy-back
of Sick Leave, vacation time, and personal leave will apply.
- That the Sheriff's office will honor all promotional positions and
supervisory positions; and they will be able to remain in those positions
without a reduction in rank.
- Seniority will be honored for all Police officers and there will be a
lateral entry from the date of hire with the City of Tamarac.
- There will be no loss of pay and there will be a comparable service level
and opportunity for advancement.
That the Specialty Assignments will remain the same and they will be
transferred to those positions in BSO.
Mr. McGrane stated that it is the FOP's opinion that if the City is serious
about this proposal, then we should continue to go forward with the proposal;
if not, then labor negotiations should be continued to agree upon a contract
for the City's Police Department.
Curt Rosenfeld, Director of Civil Defense and Crimewatch for Fairhaven ll,.
spoke in favor of retaining the City's Police Department and advised that
it was his understanding that the Lauderhill City Council was considering
going back to their City police operation.

City's Police Force. She asked how high the BSO contractual fee would go.
Bernie Hart, resident, suggested that a Workshop be held for discussion after

there was a 11P meter issued for the facility which is equivalent to 8 ERCs

an exchange can be made.

a) ;Provide ,for the establishment of a City Emergency Ambulance.

b) Authorize appropriate officials to execute agreement with Sunrise
for Use of Reserve Ambulance. Agendized by Consent.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
b) Authorized Acting
contract with Sunrise
a) APPROVED on First Reading,
City Manager to execute 2-year
a) City Attorney Henning read Temp. Ord. #1136, by title. He explained that
the enactment of this Ordinance is one of the crucial steps in establishing
this ambulance service. He added that it creates a new Chapter 3A establishing
the various provisions for the service. He referred to the bottom of page 1
regarding emergency transportation in ah ambulance and stated that there are
several types of transportation in an emergency - the ambulance service would
be used for urgently transporting a patient from an accident or illness who
could not be transported in a car or who needs medical treatment along with
the transportation.
Mr. Henning continued that the Fire Department will develop the service and
control, man and supervise the service; firefighters will have a dual purpose
as emergency medical technicians along with being firefighters. He added that
they will receive proper training for this purpose. He said that there are
two types of life support: basic life support and advanced life support; and
continued that these firefighters/technicians will be providing basic life
support. The City will still be using paramedic services of the Broward County
Emergency Medical Service for advanced life support.
Mr. Henning advised that the Service will need a Certificate of Convenience and
Necessity which is a County licensing requirement and as soon as the ambulances
are outfitted, they will be ready for the on -site inspection to obtain that
license.
The City Attorney continued that in preparing this Ordinance, the provisions
of the appropriate. Florida Statutes were tracked. He referred to page F
regarding Emergency Calls, and stated that the service would only be used
for emergency services and expect patients to use the services of Medics
Ambulance Service or any other service to provide for non -emergency transporta-
tion.
C/M Stelzer referred to page 3, line 10, and stated that he is concerned about
the intubati.on process being done by medical technicians. He asked how the
City stands with liability. Mr. Henning said that this is part of the techni-
cians' training before being certified by State standards. Fire Chief Simon
said that esophageal intubation is very seldom ever done because the team is
usually riding directly ahead or behind a paramedic unit; however it is covered
under Florida Statute 401-23 and all technicians will be familiar with the
process. C/M Stelzer suggested that it should be deleted to protect the City.
Fire Chief Simon referred C/M Stelzer to page 6, lines 2 through 8, and stated
that this is standard operating procedure and has been approved by the Medical
Director of the EMS. He assured that the technicians will stop at Basic Life
Support systems. lie advised that the procedures of this Ordinance tried to
parallel Chapter 401 of the State: Statutes, Chapter 32 of the Broward County
Administrative Code, and 1066 of the Florida Administrative Code; and the
City is in full compliance with these so far.
City Attorney Henning advised that there were some corrections and changes to
be made to the Temporary Ordinance and reviewed those: On Page 5, delete sub-
paragraph n) and renumber the paragraphs appropriately after that. Delete the
last three words in subparagraph o). On page 6, delete subparagraphs b) and
c) and renumber appropriately. Mr. Henning added that it was recommended that
the fee be an even $75.00. Chief Simon advised that 80% of that would be paid
by Medicare and the remainder by supplemental or private insurance coverage.
Amend subparagraph d) to read; "b) The Service shall accept any insurance or
assignment, or medicare assignment, as full or part payment of the above fee,
which conforms to applicable law." In last sentence of paragraph g), delete
"in excess of the Service's fees".

C/K Munitz asked if the service referred to in paragraph c) on page 2 must
begin and end in Tamarac. Chief Simon advised, that a patient must be trans-
ported to the hospital directed by the doctor, but service must originate in
Tamarac. Mr. Henning advised that "or" should be changed to "for" in this
subparagraph.
C/M Munitz referred to page 6, subparagraph e) and assumed that this is to
file Medicare or insurance claims. Mr. Henning stated that there are three
alternatives The City can handle all of the paperwork; they can handle the
paperwork and assign uncollectibles to an Agency or Administrator; or they
can hire an Agency or Administrator to handle all of the work. Mr. Wood
recommended that a third party be contracted to do the billing and receive
a percentage of the amount collected. Mr. Henning added that this would be
subject to Council approval at a later date. C/M Munitz stated that the
budget has been approved and asked what items were included in Revenue and
Expenses. Mr. Wood explained that there is $55,000.00 in the Revenues of
the General Fund; and the Expenditures are as detailed by the Chief at the
Budget meetings at $18,000.00. Chief Simon advised that that amount would
be increased if the Ambulance Service is not approved, due to the need for
using Fire equipment. C/M Munitz asked if the cost of .this collection service
Tape was included in the budget and Mr. Wood replied that it was not.

Vice Mayor Stein MOVED to adopt Temp. Ord. #1136. C/M Munitz SECONDED.
Vickie Beech, resident, expressed her doubt that the City has the necessary
expertise to undertake this type of extensive proposition. She advised that
a new City Manager could analyze and respond to the needs of the City and
she does not feel that the City should get into a project with so much liability
involved at this time.
Jim Godin, resident, expressed his concern over a blanket policy to cover
liability and Mr. Wood advised that the City is insured for malpractice and
also has a general liability policy.
Irving Fenichel, Chairman of the Ambulance Committee, stated that the most
important thing with this service is the saving of lives. He advised that when
attending EMT training, he learned that if a cardiac arrest victim is treated
within 5 minutes, that person can be saved. He added that with this ambulance
service, the response time could be as quick as 32 minutes.
Amy Lew, resident, asked who would determine the emergency. Chief Simon stated
that the legislation covers procedures for this determination and in addition,
the service is covered with a back-up ambulance to handle multiple emergencies.
Morton Student, resident, spoke in favor of the ambulance service.
Alice Norian, resident, suggested that Council contemplate the input of the
new City Manager on this subject. Mayor Kravitz pointed out that this is
only the First Reading.
b) Vice Mayor Stein advised that the County requires that we have a back-up
ambulance; and Sunrise has agreed to supply that reserve. He added that the

that the City pay for his move and give him at least eight weeks to relocate.

he offered a very tough contract to the City. Vice Mayor Stein continued that

48, Presentation by Presidents Council Regarding Parks & Recreation -
Report by Bernie Hart at the request of the Presidents' Council regarding
Parks & Recreation. Agendized by Consent.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Further discussion held for input
by the new City Manager. (Agendized by Consent on Page 1)
C/M Munitz reported that he received a letter from Bernie Hart, President of
the Presidents Council requesting that he be heard on a matter with regard
to Parks & Recreation. Bernie Hart advised that the matter is in.regard to
what the Presidents Council believes to be a public debasement of the reputa-
tion of the City in the Press and an insult to the majority of the citizens.
He stated that the Presidents Council, represents 67 associations within the
City, and 50 of those were at a meeting yesterday where 46 voted to bring
this item before Council.
Mr. Hart referred to statements published in the Miami Herald Neighbors on
September 9th and quoted that article. He said that the Presidents Council
is not questioning the validity of C/M Dunne's position on the subject of
Parks & Recreation because they believe his intentions are sincere. Mr.
Hart suggested that if a Department Dead has a specific problem with a Council
member or Liaison, that Department Head has the right to come before the Council
or the City Manager in an effort to resolve the problem; but statements should
not be made to the Press that tend to create a division among the people of
the City.
Mr. Hart continued that Sharon Ellis's statements are an accusation of bias
and the Presidents Council suggests that she explain and be chastised by
appropriate City Officials; and added that if she did make the statement as
published, that the Senior Citizens of this City are entitled to an apology.
Mr. Hart stated that this morning's West Section is a continuance of the
same situation and suggested that the Press articles have given Tamarac a
bad name.
Mr. Hart stated that in discussions with Norman Karr, Parks Commissioner, Mr.
Karr has advised that they are getting everything they ask for in Parks &
Recreation from the current administration. Mr. Hart expressed the Presidents
Council's belief that above all else, every City employee and especially the
Department Heads, should consider the public reputation of the City. lie
said that the -problem is being turned over to Council for action and asked
that the Presidents Council be advised of the status of that action.
-27- 9/12/84
/cmt
Mayor Kravitz suggested that this item be held for input by the new
City Manager, C/M Munitz spoke as Liaison to the Parks & Recreation
Department, stating that Sharon Ellis did not act in the best interest of
the City''s reputation and he has cautioned her previously regarding state-
ments that he had heard. C/M Munitz stated however that there are two
mistakes made here because the proper procedure would have been for C/M
Dunne to present his problems by memo to C/M Munitz as Liaison for that
Tape Department, C/M Munitz added that lie believes some action should be taken
9 with regard to Sharon Ellis.
C/M Stelzer stated that the problem of the old versus the young residents in
this City were present under the previous administration also and reviewed
some of those instances. C/M Stelzer suggested that C/M Dunne has separated
the residents of the City in other instances each time he refers to the
residents east of 441 as "his" people. C/M Stelzer stated that this is one
City and Council was elected to represent all of the people. C/M Stelzer
admitted that Sharon Ellis made a mistake with her statements to the Press.
C/M Dunne explained that his actions have been because of his concern for
the residents in the District East of 441. Vice Mayor Stein stated that
there should be no division within the City. C/M Munitz suggested that
whether or not C/M Dunne's intentions were right or wrong should not be a
part of this discussion; the statements by Sharon Ellis are the subject of
this discussion.
C/M Dunne suggested that the residents should be asked if they want recrea-
tional facilities that are being provided. He suggested that the concept of
the Park was not offered to the residents and the location of the Park being
built is not even in Tamarac, even though the land was donated to the City.
C/M Dunne stated that he is not against Parks & Recreation facilities; and
suggested that it could be handled sensibly with the funds provided for that
purpose, and should not be used for any other purpose.
Amy Lew, resident, stated that the retired community of this City has never
denied anything to the younger residents. She stated that the statements made
by Sharon Ellis were disgusting and if she feels that way about the City, she
should not be working for the City.
Vickie Beech, resident, stated that she believes this Council has done everything
possible for Parks & Recreation and Ms. Ellis has a very flippant attitude toward
residents with questions regarding her Department.
C/M Stelzer stated that he believes the statements of Sharon Ellis were provoked
by the situation in the City which created the division.
Mayor Kravitz advised that there will be no action taken by Council at this
time and if such is considered in the future, it will be discussed at that time.
49. _Workshop On Council Expenses - Discussion and possible action to schedule
