Board and Committee Members - Report from City Attorney on clar-
ification as to whether non-residents are permitted to serve on
boards and committees.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Report by
City Attorney. Until a Workshop
Meeting is held, all future applica--
thenEiiyall be only from residents of
Jon Henning said he submitted a memorandum to the Council dated
10/24/83 and he has not had an opportunity to review the opinions of
some other City Attorneys. He referred to an article which appeared
in the Fort Lauderdale News/Sun Sentinel dated 10/14/83 which had a
paragraph referring to Jim Lew who had resigned from the Recreation
Board. He said the letter of resignation was a lengthy editorial
about the Committee and the paragraph in the article said, "Mr. Lew
recently moved out of the City but that would not have forced him to
resign from the Committee according to City Attorney Jon Henning".
He sdi'd it states in the Charter that certain committees may have
residents as members. He stated as an example the Beautification
Committee in which the Charter, in Section 6-3 states specifically,
"that residents of the City or the principal operators or their
spouses may serve on this Committee". He said this is an exception.
Mr. Henning stated that the Council has a policy of only appointing
residents and he finds no fault with that and it is legal. He said
whether or not it is spelled out in the Code, Council is on firm
ground to make their appointments based on residency. He said no one
has a right to serve on a Committee, it is a privilege that Council
grants them. He said the Code does not say that they must be residents'
and the Charter states that whenever possible members of committees
should come from each district. V/M Massaro referred to Mayor Falck's
memo of 10/20/83 in which he expressed his opinion that non-residents
involvement on Committees is not as helpful since their concerns are
not necessarily those of the residents. She concurred with this.
She MOVED that until such time as a Workshop is scheduled, all
appointments are to be made within the residents of this City.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED.
RESOLUTION NO. R- 83 mod'$ PASSED.
Jon Henning read the Resolution by title and he thanked the City Clerk's
office for assisting him in drafting this Resolution. He referred to a

Mr. Henning said he is asking for exchange or possible sale of the
Southern Digest to be exchanged for a Florida Digest and to change
publications on the United States Federal Code from the Lawyer's
Edition Publication to the West Publishers. He said they are all
treatise or encyclopedia except for the Digest, which is a summary of
cases, of which a more restricted set is needed. He said a Federal
Law set is helpful if the books are from the same publisher and can
be cross-referenced. He said he has not requested an increase in the
maintenance of the Law Library in this year's budget in anticipation
of cutting back in this area. He said he felt it would be best to
sell these since they are not out-of-date or obsolete and he intends
to have this advertised with the League of Cities, the Florida Law
Journal and this should be advertised for a month or so to obtain
interested replies.

possible action to urge the Board of Broward County Commissioners
to change the land use designations of two proposed amendments
to the Unincorporated Land Use Plan from Community Facility to
Office Park.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
as conditioned.
RESOLUTION NO. R
,?3-,7- I PASSED.
Jon Henning read the Resolution by title and Mayor Falck said there
are three parcels of land on Prospect Road adjacent to the school and
the Boulevard Section at 28th Avenue directly across from the North
Section at that same location. There are petitions to change these
Land Use designations to "Industrial" which the City feels would
adversely affect the lifestyle of these people there. He said the
City is proposing that the County Commission consider the adoption
of the necessary legislation that will enable them to request the
change to an "Office Park" type of designation. He said he and the
City Planner will be attending the public hearings that will be held
between now and December and they feel that these Resolutions will be
of considerable assistance in presenting the City's case.
Mr. Henning said apparently there are two petitions, one covers two
Parcels and there are three parcels. Mayor Falck said they will have
an additional Resolution before Council once they know the date of
the hearing. V/M Massaro asked if this would be sent out now and
Mayor Falck said yes. C/M Kravitz MOVED the ADOPTION of Temp_. Reso.
#2886 repealing Resolution #R-83-266 and encouraging the Board of�
Broward County Commissioners to change the Land Use designations for
proposed amendments #3-AC-83 and #4-AC-83 from "Community Facility"

13. Broward League ofCitiesBusiness - Discussion and possible
a c t i on .
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Reports by Mayor
Falck and C/M Kravitz.
C/M Kravitz said that he was unable to attend the Florida League of
Cities meeting and Council has not received any minutes of this
meeting. He said the Broward League of Cities will have their next
meeting on 11/17/83.
C/M Stelzer asked Mayor Falck to give Council input of those
proceedings. Mayor Falck said he will furnish Council with a written
report on events but he said he was reelected to the League Board and
he hopes to serve on the Legislative Committee this year. He said
most discussion concerned Proposition #1 and an effort was made to
develop an educational program on this. He said there was constant
reference to a Unitary Tax and most municipalities felt this tax
would adversely affect business in the State. They did agree that
this matter would be referred to the Board and the Finance and Taxation
Committee will have a full report at the January meeting.
Mayor Falck said there was a Workshop on Transportation and there were
summaries on the Health Program as well as Insurance problems. He
said there was discussion on the Pension Plan and the problems involved.
He said he will issue a complete report as soon as possible.
V/M Massaro said it should be pointed out that these are business and
not social meetings and those attending are encouraged to discuss
subjects with everyone. Mayor Falck said in addition to the Work
Sessions, there were three Board Meetings to attend.
Mayor Falck thanked Council for submitting his name in nomination for
the Harris Drew Award but they returned his nomination because he is
a member of the League Board and cannot be eligible for consideration.

14. Swales - Discussion and possible action concerning Ordinance
83-37 which prohibited placement of certain objects within this
area.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: The City Attorney
will prepare an Ordinance amending
Ordinance 83-37.
- 8 -
10/26/83
/pm
Jon Henning said Temp. Ord. #1052 is Ordinance #83-37 which passed
second reading on 9/14/83. He said the underlined language is the
new language which was added and the language that was not underlined
has been in the Code for some time. He said Council is addressing the
language that was already in the Code. V/M Massaro said now that the
new language has been adopted, the Code Enforcement Officer
will have problems with the old language and she wanted Council to
study this to determine if it should be amended.
In reviewing, she said the sprinkler systems referred to should state,
"above -ground sprinkler systems". Mr. Henning said Subsection e) has
a list of 7 exceptions and, concerning mailboxes, property owners may
place mailboxes in an unpaved public right-of-way when such placement
is a prerequisite of mail delivery to their property. V/M Massaro
asked Mr. Henning if there is anything further in the Code about
signs because there are signs put up by the County everywhere. Mr.
Henning said he has to address that. City Manager Stuurmans questioned
allowing bus shelters and U.S. mailboxes for the dropping of mail as
items to be reviewed as well. V/M Massaro said there is no provision
for a Code Enforcement designee and no penalty clause and Mr. Henning
said they do not have to provide this in the Ordinance because it
would be whomever is designated by the City Manager or Council.
V/M Massaro said it should so state.
Mr. Henning said the penalty stipulated is $500 and/or 90 days in
jail and V/M Massaro said this should be further reviewed. C/M
Stelzer said the majority of the homes bordered on roadways have
shrubbery against the road for ornamental purposes. He said they
can limit the height so that there is no obstruction of the roadway.
Mr. Henning said there is a requirement in the Code regarding fence,
and hedge height with provision for a setback of 25' from the corner
or an intersection. He said the City must be cautious because some
areas have sidewalks and curbs and some do not and this Ordinance
must be written for everyone. He said, technically, any grassed area
on the shoulder of a road between the pavement and the property line
would be considered the swale.
V/M Massaro said some people plant things so close to the sidewalk
that it obstructs the sidewalk and provision should be made in the
Ordinance requiring the maintenance of this so that people will not
Tape be injured. C/M Stelzer said there is a problem along the entire
3 18th hole at Sabal Palm Golf Course where they have a sidewalk that
is used for a bike path along Commercial Boulevard and this is hung
over with branches from trees. V/M Massaro said the County placed those
Australian Pines there and they had no right to do so because they
were already in violation according to the Code at that time. She
said it should be in the Code to require them to maintain these trees.
She said there are also trees hanging over the street at this location
which are a real danger to drivers.
Jon Henning said there was a question from the Code Enforcement
Officer as to whether it was Council's intention to prohibit the
mushroom cap and C/M Stelzer said he specifically stated in his
letter that the mushroom caps should be left in as not endangering
traffic because they are strictly adeterrent. V/M Massaro said Mr.
Henning's language in the Ordinance takes care of this because he
specifies "any other sharp edged or pointed...". Max Blum, resident,
asked if the mushroom caps must be removed or will be allowed to stay.
V/M Massaro said they should be outlawed because to allow them is
inviting trouble. She said anything that is not mentioned in the
Ordinance is not outlawed. Mr. Blum said concrete blocks are mentioned
and he asked for clarification on this. V/M Massaro said if concrete
blocks were allowed, the City would expose themselves to positive
liability and she suggested they be outlawed. Mr. Henning said in
the building trade, CBS or concrete block is the 8 x 10 block used
for walls, there are different shapes but the dictionary description
would cover mushrooms.
- 9 - 10/26/83
/pm
Mr. Blum asked if there were a time frame in the Ordinance and Mr.
Henning said this is at the discretion of the Code Enforcement
Officer. He said it may be prohibitive to an officer if there is
a time frame involved and there were an accident, he could be
accused of not having given proper warning. This will be consider-
ed further by Council. Bernie Hart, resident, said the wording
should state any obstacle or concrete marker because there are all
types and sizes of concrete blocks. Vickie Beach, resident, said
there should be some clarification of what swales are and V/M
Massaro said a swale is anything outside of peoples' property
lines.
John Dunne, resident, asked about the problem of people parking on
lawns and C/M Kravitz said he is preparing an Ordinance for this.
Emil Beutner, Planning Commission member, asked Mr. Henning if
there is a State law that stipulates that no obstruction can be
near a road and Mr. Henning said it depends on whether there is an
easement there. Vickie Beach said there should be an incorporation
of these Ordinances so that Home Associations do not have to enforce
laws within developments. Mr. Henning said the City cannot enforce
deed restrictions. The City Manager said two examples would be
the fence and hedge provision in the City Code and also the antenna
provision, because while the City addresses a standard, the deed
restrictions have prohibitions. Mayor Falck said Council's
philosophy is that Sections will enforce their deed restrictions
and the City will enforce Ordinances.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Held for
meeting of ll 9 83 for meeting
between Vice Mayor, City Manager
and DOT representatives.
V/M Massaro stated that the guardrail requested has been
installed on McNab Road. It has been inspected and approved.
However, a permit has not been requested and inspection
fees have not as yet been paid. She said she feels it was
overlooked and a bill should be sent to them.
City Manager Stuurmans said it is her understanding that
the City was to retain services for the inspection of the
property. She said DOT could provide consultation services,
if they were willing to do so. She said if it were
Council's intention to have the work performed by Williams,
Hatfield & Stoner, she is somewhat concerned since the area
involved is private property.
V/M Massaro said she feels Williams, Hatfield & Stoner would
not do the work and will inform the City that a legal question
is involved and a determination should be made by the City
Attorney. She said the DOT would assist the City in advising
what they would do if it were the responsibility of the County.
V/M Massaro said she wi-11 contact DOT on the matter, and
City Manager Stuurmans said when the determination is made
by DOT, the City could relay that information to the property
owners, but the City cannot require owners of private
property to install more than they wish to. However, the
City could put the owners on notice of what the accepted
standard would be.
V/M Massaro said she will make the arrangements to meet
with representatives of DOT and the City Manager, for a
discussion of this matter.
C/M Stelzer requested that the City Clerk follow this up to see that
permit is filed for the guardrail and fees paid for the
inspection and the permit. This will be done and the item will
be listed on the agenda of the November 9, 1983 meeting, as
xeques,ted "by the Mayor.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: City Manager and Public Works
Department are handling drainage problems. A priority
report is being prepared by the Public Works Director.
27.Draina2e Imrovement_s in the City - Discussion and possible action
v/M Massaro stated that a report is currently being prepared
by the Public Works Director covering drainage problems in
various areas of the City. The report will determine which of
the areas should be given first priority. The Vice Mayor
advised that funds are available to correct problems.
C/M Kravitz mentioned that he received two telephone calls in
connecio.n with the flooding following the heavy downpour on
Sunday. One call was in reference to the Woodlands area, back
to the Norfolk Pine Island area, and at that area a car cannot
get through, even if there were an emergency. He said he asked
the City Engineer to check the area to determine what can be
done about the situation. He said the residents of Woodlands
are, disturbed as they are afraid the water might come into their
homes since it has already reached the door level.
C/M Kravitz stated that the other call he received related to
Lime Day. He inspected the area along with the City Engineer,
and it was agreed that a problem does exist. This will be taken
care of by the City Manager and the Public Works Department,
as there is no drainage on the main city street.
City Manager Stuurmans stated that it is important to remind the
residents of Tamarac not to use the catch basins as a garbage
disposal, as that contributes to the flooding. It has been
noticed that some of the residents use the catch basins to
dispose of paint and oil, as well as to grow plants.
Mr. Soley Goldberg, resident, stated that Section 20 on 94 Avenue
has very poor drainage, particularly in the golf course area.;
and when it rains the ponding is excessive.

2) City Attorney Jon Henning read Temp. Reso. #2908 in its entirety.
C/M Stelzer said he feels the language in the portion of the
Resolution which relates to the members comprising the committee,
should be changed to delete the words "ex officio members",
since that language was stricken from Resolutions pertaining to
other committees.
The City Attorney said he would clarify the situation by stating
that at the last Council meeting, he explained the difference
between an ex officio member and a liaison member. Ile advised
at that time that the term ex officio actually refers to one
particular individual. The Resolution Council is considering
today is a good example of that as it refers to the Mayor and
the Finance Director. Mr. Henning explained that if either of
those individuals will be'absent from a meeting, they could
designate another person to take their place and -there would be
no need for Council action. He said another example would be
that if the City retained the services of a new Finance Director,
that individual would automatically step in on the committee,
since the position goes with the office.
Mr. Ray Munitz, resident, asked how many votes would be required
to pass any action. Mr. Henning stated that it is his suggestion
a majority vote of the members appointed to the committee be
required to pass any action.
Mayor Falck said he feels a minimum of three votes should be
required at all times, since this committee will be dealing
with significant items.
Mr. Munitz said he would suggest that if there are three members
on the committee, a unanimous vote be required; and if there
are five members, three votes be necessary.
City Attorney Henning said he will add to the Resolution that
three votes are required to pass any action of the committee.

C/M Stelzer said that during the past several weeks, he has been
investigating a program which was initiated in Chicago called
Medilog Identification Bracelet Program. He explained that there
are approximately 35,000 senior citizens who are members of
this program. mhe bracelet worn is a Spiedel expansion type
which is inscribed with the wearer's identification number and
telephone number. C/'M Stelzer said he has discussed this program
with Police Chief McIntosh, Captain Mortimer, Captain Roche
and Fire Chief Simon. All were in agreement that this would be
a good plan for the City of Tamarac.
C/M Stelzer stated a program of this type would not involve
an expense to the City. The cost of the bracelet to the
program participants is $5.00. The residents will register
with the City, their name, address, person to notify in case of
emergency, name of doctor, allergies and medical history.
C/M Stelzer said he originally had discussed the program with
the Police Department, but upon reconsideration, feels it could
be better handled by the Fire Department. The information on
the bracelet would be on file with the Fire Department, and
when an ambulance is summoned for an individual requiring emergency
treatment, the necessary information will be available.
C/M Stelzer stated that the City might have some promotional
expenses, but he will contact Spiedel to determine how much of
those expenses they will bear.
C/14 Stelzer mentioned that a few years ago B'nai B'rith sponsored
a "Vial of Life" program, and Captain Roche has reported that
he never heard of a single instance where the "Vial of Life" has
been referred to in an emergency situation. However, the Fire
Department will have a permanent record of the bracelet wearer
and it will be referred to when an ambulance responds to an
emergency call. He said Captain Roche feels this would be an
excellent public relations program as the service would be
available to the residents of the City at no cost, with the
exception of the initial $5.00 cost for the bracelet.
C/M Stelzer said if Council approves this program, he will
present it to the Presidents Council as Mr. Munitz feels this
would be an excellent program for them.
Tape C/M Stelzer said the only problem he can foresee at this time
5 would involve the 24-hour watch at the Fire House telephone
since Chief Simon has advised that when a fire truck is used
for a fire, there is nobody at the Fire House
in order to provide the information on file to the ambulance.
He said if several individuals were involved in a fire and are
wearing bracelets, the information on file for those individuals
could not be obtained from the Fire Department.
Fire Chief Simon said at the present time, the Fire Department
operates under a radio dispatch system, and telephones are
not used. The Broward County EMS relays information to the City
Fire Department and if there is nobody at the Fire House to
receive the information, it comes over the mobile radio.
-16- 10/26/83
/rb
Chief Simon said he has spoken to Sgt. Walter Harmuth, who advised
that at the present time, the Police Dispatcher is unable to handle
the ambulance service calls due to the heavy workload involved.
Ile said when the City goes on E-911, a Fire Dispatcher would be
needed at the Police Station to provide the information on the
coded card to the ambulance service.
C/M Stelzer asked how far in the future the E-911 system would be
initiated. City Manager Stuurmans stated that when the new Police
Facility is built, the City will go on E-911.
Mayor Falck suggested that the kledic-Alert program be investigated
since it is similar to the program being proposed for the City of Tamarac.
C/M Stelzer stated that the. Medic --Alert bracelet program does not
provide for the reporting of pertinent information. He said his
wife wears one, on which is inscribed,."Allergic to Penicillin".
However, in that program, the wearer must reregister every year;
but the program suggested for Tamarac involves only the initial
purchase of the bracelet and there is no cost to the wearer for the
rest of his life.
Mayor Falck said he.feels this matter should be pursued with the
Presidents Council.
C/M Krantz said he wonders why this program should be restricted
to senior citizens. C/M Stelzer said all individuals could partici-
pate in the program at the $5.00 cost of the bracelet.
City Manager Stuurmans said if the City enters into .this program,
staff might explore the possibility of personnel grant funding to
initiate the operation.
Mayor Falck suggested the Tamarac Presidents Council research the
matter and return to Council with their recommendations.

C/M Krantz reported that a request was made by the Beautification
Committee that the City Planner prepare a survey on possible beauti-
fication of the medians within the City and maintaining them in a
manner which will avoid accidents. It has been recommended that
palm trees be used in a diameter of not more than six inches for
this purpose.
C/M Kravitz - No report

V/M Massaro reported that on Sabal Palm Boulevard, there is a street
sign on the north side which should be on the south side; and she
recommended the City Manager check into this situation.
29. City Manager Report - No report
30. Cit Attorney Report -- Mr.Henning reported that the proceeding relatil
to the Sludge Farm has been successful. The City will be permitted
to use the Sludge Farm for thirty-six months at a rental of $150,000.00
to be paid to the court account. The City of Lauderhill has agreed
to pay their fair share of the rental.
Mayor Faick reported that last Saturday he was invited to the Eagle
Trace Golf Course in Coral Springs. While there, he said he met
Mr. Garchar's brother who informed him that Mr. Garchar is presently
confined to his bed. The Mayor said he had reported to Council some
months ago that when the deliberations on the settlement occurred
quite a long time ago, he was concerned that the proposal made
centered around a normal life expectancy. The Mayor said this is
another indication that Mr. Garchar does not have a normal life ex-
pectancy.
Mayor Falck said a report will be distributed this week in connection
with the meeting of the Broward League of Cities.

west to Sawarass Expressway and Noh Hill Rd. from
Commercial Boulevard to McNab Road.
City Attorney Jon Henning read the Resolution by title. V/M Massaro
said she feels the title of the Resolution should also include the
construction of Commercial Boulevard west to the proposed Saw Grass
Expressway, and Nob Hill Road from Commercial Boulevard to McNab Road.
The City Attorney said this will be addressed in Section 1, and
as suggested, it will also be included in the title.
V/M Massaro said during the month of August, City Manager Stuurmans
wrote to Mr. Mitch Ceasar, the City's Grant Consultant, concerning
the possibility of obtaining assistance for the City, since Tamarac
has been overlooked by the State and the County for new roadway
projects. She stated that University Drive through the City of
Tamarac has not been identified for road improvements until the
year 2000. However, University Drive south of Tamarac through
Sunrise and Lauderhill has been approved for widening to six
lanes up.to Commercial Boulevard, as well as University Drive
beginning at Southgate Boulevard going north
-18- 10/26/83
/rb
through Coral Springs. V/M Massaro said that construction
is well under way at those areas, but it will be very difficult
to reach the proposed Saw Grass Expressway, the Sunrise Theater
and the new shopping center in Coral Springs if road improvements
are not made through the City of Tamarac.
V/M Massaro stated that the TRIPS run which was recently com-
pleted for Woodmont Tracts 30 and 56 indicated that Woodmont
will be assessed $376,130.00; of which $285,380.-0.0
will be used for road work; and the balance will be used for left
and right hand turns and sidewalks through the City of Tamarac.
She said $285,380.00 for the road work covers University Drive
from Commercial Boulevard to Inverrary Boulevard going south and
Riverside Drive to Southgate Boulevard going north, as well as
Sample Road at the Turnpike access to Lyons road, etc., but there
is no work scheduled for Tamarac. There is $285,380.00 of
Tamarac money being used for areas outside Tamarac but there are
no funds allocated for any portion of the City of Tamarac.
V/M Massaro said she brought this situation to the attention of
the Council while the legislatures were in session so that
the City could be identified by the State for University Drive
improvements. However, as a specific request was not made, there
was no action taken. She said she would now request that Mayor
Falck or his designee, move forward to see what can be done
about the project, to include arrangements for meetings
between State, County and local transportation and,elected
officials, to finalize the most expeditious method to. firstly,
be identified; secondly,to determine the manner in which to obtain
funds.; and thirdly, to be considered for the City's fair share of
the distribution of impact fees by the County. V/M Massaro said
that without a Council member being responsible to the Council for
heading and coordinating the, steps involved in this project,
money that should have been coming to Tamarac will be lost, and
plans for the roads through the.City will be pushed back ten or
fifteen years from now.
V/M Massaro said she spoke to Commissioner Craft yesterday and
he is present now because of his concern about the leapfrogging
of Tamarac and as he is the City representative, he has agreed
to assist the City in all ways possible.
Mayor Falck said when the plan was originally outlined in Tallahassee,
he was present and discussed with Mr. Gustafson the problem of
University Drive, as outlined by V/M Massaro. The Mayor said it was
his understanding at that time from Mr. Gustafson that the local
delegation members should be contacted as they could help obtain
the financing through other means. He said the Vice Mayor, other
members of Council as well as he,did contact Mr. Titone, 7Ar.
Deutsch and . Mr. Weinstein about this particular problem.
However, as V/M Massaro indicated, the City has had no assurance
whatsoever that Tamarac will not be placed.in a position of trying
to use an old antiquated road to connect with two very well
developed new modern roads that will bring the traffic from the
south to a standstill in Tamarac going north,and likewise going south
on University Drive from Coral Springs down through Tamarac and
connecting again with Lauderhill and Sunrise.
Mayor Falck said the plan for the roads in Broward County was
specifically unveiled by Mr. Gustafson in February or March of
this year in Tallahassee, and he would agree with V/M Massaro
that something must be done in this matter.
-19- 10/26/83

Commissioner Howard Craft said he agrees with the Vice Mayor
that all concerned should meet and discuss the matter. He
said he has not had sufficient time to review the project
through his office, but he is familiar with the patterns
of the Planning Office and the TRIPS model. He
said the road under discussion today is a State road and
therefore, the State will be involved in the discussions.
Commissioner Craft said he will be available to the City of
Tamarac, to discuss this with representatives of the State
and perhaps a meeting should be arranged with the DOT in the
very near future as well as with State Senators and Representatives
from this area.
Commissioner Craft said the County is now in a better position
to assist the City in a matter such as this than they were
just a year ago. He explained that when the BIZ study was used,
there was a problem. When a developer wanted to build a new
shopping center at the intersection of a major road, he had to
pay the County an amount of money for his share of the improve-
ments necessary on that major road. In addition, if another
intersection needed a stop light and did not have one and the
new traffic light would require widening of the road around the
intersection to make the turns easier, that developer would also
be required to pay his share of this improvement based upon
the traffic his shopping center would generate. Also, if a
small intersection a few miles away from the proposed shopping
center required improvements, the same developer would have to
pay his share of those improvements; and that process would
continue on until the developer would owe the County money
for all the roads throughout Broward County.
Commissioner. Craft stated that under the old BIZ model, the
County was required to hold each one of the small portions of
money received for impact fees in a separate small account.in the
computer and nothing could be done with that money. At some
point in time, perhaps in the year 2003, somebody will build a
shopping center a few miles away and that developer would also
have to contribute toward a traffic light there. Over a period
of years, perhaps in the year 2010, the Countv would have enough
separate contributions to install the traffic light. Therefore,
under the BIZ model, all the different contributions of money
would accumulate for twenty or thirty years before improvements
could be made.
Commissioner Craft said that the TRIPS model was initiated because
the County wanted to spend some of the money without waiting
until it was accumulated. He said he is happy to announce that
this has been accomplished and within the next thirty days or
so, the County computer will be fully set up and the County
will be able to tell the computer that it is important to make
certain intersection improvements. The TRIPS model will then
search the computer to locate the small contributions made toward
remote intersections where the money will not be needed until
the year 2010 and the money could be lawfully moved to the
improvements that need to be made now. Therefore, it will no
longer be necessary to sit around and wait for all the tiny ac-
counts of money to accumulate before making an improvement.
The various small contributions can be lawfully combined by
telling the computer what the County wishes to address.
Commissioner Craft commented that there are some very esoteric
requirements that must be met as there will be some monies
that cannot be taken from the computer for various reasons.
Commissioner Craft said the very first thing he will do will
be to inform the County that there is a requirement for the
City of Tamarac to obtain funds through the TRIPS model for
the design of the roads. He said he will follow up on
this and get back to the City of Tamarac within the next
couple of weeks, either in person or by means of a Report.
-20- 10/26/83

V/M Massaro said she feels before anything is done, she would
suggest the Mayor or his designee arrange a meeting to lay the
groundwork for this project.
Commissioner Craft said he agrees that the first thing that must
be done is to establish a liaison so that the County can discuss
this with the City for the purpose of coordinating the project.
He said the DOT should also be contacted.
Commissioner Craft stated that there is another theoretical source
of funding, which is the 4 ,gas tax that was placed at the County
level. The City of Tamarac will receive $1.00 for each $2.00 the
County receives from those monies. He said the County's portion
of those funds has already been pretty well assigned for the various
roads throughout the County. He commented that the main reason the
4G gas tax was passed was because the residents of the County voted
for the 1978 bond issue. One hundred and twenty --five million
dollars of those funds were for the roads, but that was not
sufficient to accomplish what the County had intended. Commissioner
Craft explained that the roads in Lauderdale Lakes, Tamarac and some
of the other cities have already been built but the County ran out
of money and felt it was not fair to the residents to build only
two-thirds of the roads they were promised. .Therefore, the 4� gas
tax was voted in to complete the bond projects and that money is
pretty well tied up for that purpose.
Commissioner Craft stated that there is another possible source
for the money that is required.. He explained that Broward County
has a law that anybody who requests platting must pay impact fees
at the time of platting; and anyone who platted a long time ago
and requests a building permit from the County must also pay the
impact fees. Therefore, if an individual buys a piece of property
which was platted in 1955 or thereabouts, he must pay the impact
fees when he requests a building permit..
Commissioner Craft stated this applies only to the unincorporated
areas of Broward County. In the various cities, the developer
pays impact fees only at the time of platting. He said he hopes
the City of Tamarac will consider a City Ordinance to recognize
the fact that since anyone who intends to plat pays the impact
fee, it is only fair that someone who happened to have the property
platted before impact fees were initiated, should also pay a like
amount,. The County reaches those individuals at building permit
time.
Commissioner Craft said he would like to review the
possibility of Tamarac being the first City in Broward County to
pass an Ordinance to the effect that a piece of property which
has already been platted would require payment of impact fees
when a building permit is requested. He said if Tamarac would
consider that type of Ordinance, there would be a substantial
amount of money coming into the City and those funds could be
used for the type of project which is being discussed today as
the monies can only be used for projects within a certain distance
of the location the fees came from.
v/ii iviassaro asked wilether the monies coming into the City as a
result of an Ordinance of that type would be'distributed all throughout
Broward County, as they are in the TRIPS model, or whether they can
be utilized only for improvements needed in the City of Tamarac.
Commissioner Craft said that would depend upon how the City would
set up the Ordinance. If Tamarac asks Broward County to do the
TRIPS run for them, the money would be distributed all throughout
the County. However, the amount of impact placed upon each de-
veloper would depend upon his location and the point furthest from
Tamarac would be impacted with the smallest amount of money. Under
the TRIPS system, most of the money gravitates toward the area through
which the traffic is being generated. Commissioner Craft mentioned
that this would be the safest method to use as the County's method
is legal and very sophisticated.
-21- 10/26/83
V/M Massaro said none of the impact fees assessed to Woodmont
are assigned to Tamarac. Commercial Boulevard to Inverrary Boulevard
is the closest area those monies were assigned.
Commissioner Craft said there are two possibilities for that, one
being that there are no improvements planned since a six -lane
highway already exists. Therefore, the developer does not have
an impact upon that roadway system as it is already capable of
handling the traffic the developer will generate and the monies
he paid will not be designated for Tamarac. The other possibility
would be that there is no planned improvement within the next five
years. He explained that this defect in the system would have
to be cured so that monies could be assigned to Tamarac. If
there is no plan to ever improve a road,the City would not be
permitted to collect impact fees for it. When this defect has
been corrected, the money will be designated for Tamarac.
Commissioner Craft commented that impact fees assessed to Woodmont
would not generate much money for a Hollywood street.
Commissioner Craft asked whether the City of Tamarac requests impact
fees for local streets when individuals request platting or zoning.
V/M Massaro explained that developers must build their own roads.
Commissionr Craft asked whether the City's present Ordinance pro-
vides for fees to be paid for the improvement of local roads.
City Planner, Richard Rubin stated that at the time of site planning
or zoning, the developer is required to obtain a TRIPS run to de-'
termine what his impact will be upon the City's local roads; and
the fee is determined by the Council at the time approval is
granted.
City Attorney Jon Henning mentioned. that the City has had only
a few rezoningsand in those cases, impact fees were considered
for local roads. The City is presently in the process of obtain-
ing an engineering study to be used as the basis of an Ordinance,
as at the present time there is no Ordinance which specifically
addresses local road impact fees. He said in the past, there were
discussions and negotiations relating to tradeoffs and it is
felt that an Ordinance is required.
Commissioner Craft said he would encourage the City to consider as
part of that Ordinance, a requirement for impact fees not only
at platting time but also at the time a building permit is re-
quested for property which has already been platted. He explained
that the County is following this procedure, which is fitting and
proper. In this way, impact fees will be received from individuals
who would not have been required to pay them otherwise.
Tape V/M Massaro said a similar procedure is followed in connection
6 with local parks and recreation fees. The fees had been paid
originally at the time of platting, but the City passed a new
Ordinance which requires developers who were platted some time _
ago, to pav the fees at site plan time.
Commissioner Craft said he will arrange fo

City Attorney Henning asked whether the developers would be
required to pay impact fees to the County as well as the City;
and Commissioner Craft said they would.
The City Attorney asked if the impact fees that would be paid by
other municipalities would be assigned to the County or to the
City of Tamarac.
Commissioner Craft said that the municipalities in Broward
County would be assessed for County roads. The monies designated
for the County would be placed into the system as it presently
exists and would be distributed in the manner which was discussed
today.
Mr. Henning inquired whether the TRIPS model would apply to
County roads only; and Commissioner Craft said the TRIPS model
applies to all arterials of the State and County, both inside
and outside cities, but does not include city roads. He explained
that all the monies produced as a result of the Tamarac Ordinance
which are designated for improvement of County roads, would go
to the County and placed into the system. Fie said that the
Tamarac Ordinance should include the city roads.
V/M Massaro said it is her understanding that under the new
system, all impact fees received from various municipalities
resulting from the Tamarac Ordinance, would be placed into the
computer and reserved for future County roads in Tamarac which
have been identified.. Commissioner Craft said that is correct.
Commissioner Craft said when monies are used from the various
municipalities for improvements, eventually the monies would be
replaced by the County from the General Fund.
City Planner Richard Rubin said he has spoken to a member of
Commissioner Craft's staff today who is preparing the interlocal
agreements, and it is felt that if the City and County meet and
designate a certain project for road improvements, the County
would agree that all monies collected through the new TRIPS model
would be assigned specifically to that roadway.
Commissioner Craft said there is a provision in the new TRIPS
model to accomplish this as the computer can move most funds.
He said the County will work with the City of Tamarac to decide
where the money should be assigned.
C/M Stelzer asked where the money would come from when a Tamarac
road is designated for improvement and that road continues
through Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, etc.
Commissioner Craft explained that in those instances, there are
two options. One would be to permit the money to remain in the
computer in the various small accounts. for all the intersections
until the year 2010 and then put in whatever money is required
to make up the difference, from the General Fund, to build the
road. The second option would be to combine the various projects and
not wait until 2010 to do the road work. He pointed out that
the work would cost less now than it will years later and the
cost of road work today is more than twice the cost of that work
ten years ago.
mayor Falck said if Council adopts Resolution #2891, he would
appoint V/M Massaro as his designee, to coordinate this project
and begin to meet with the necessary individuals :to set up
whatever is necessary.

matter can be placed on the County agendarand he will explain

City Attorney Henning said it is his understanding that Council

struction of Commercial Boulevard west to the proposed Saw
Grass Expressway and Nob Hill Road from Commercial Boulevard to
