Larry Keating, City Engineer said they have just completed the cleaning and dewatering of Waste Water Plant #3 and are currently in the process of repairing the air defusers inside that tank and hope that the plant will be back on line the beginning of next week; also hopefully that they will be able to repair the other two treatment plants shortly. He indicated further that when they did take that plant down, 75% to 100% more grit than they saw in the previously cleaned plant and together with the broken defusers, contributed to the problems last year; they suspect the same situation in tank #4. The Mayor asked if there is a special reason for the accumulation of grit the City Engineer said they have not been cleaned in six years and it is normal. C/W Kelch questioned whether or not the test continues for turbidity in various areas as she has noticed considerable discoloration of the water. Mr. Keating said he understands some of the older lines were not coated, but new lines have a cement coating on the interior which eliminates a lot of the deposition of iron deposits. There is a regular flushing program and sometimes this in itself will break some of these deposits loose and cause turbidity; we can only continue with our program and react to any of the complaints that we get when there is high turbidity. C/W Kelch asked if there is a continuing program and Mr. Keating said "yes." There was a discussion by Council as to the discoloration of bathroom fixtures and Mr. Keating said this is probably due to the new line which was installed with the work being done on Commerical Blvd. and indicated that he should be informed if this problem continues. C/M Disraelly asked if we are continuing with the video research we are doing on the lines and Mr. Keating said they are temporarily at a standstill now. Mr. Keating mentioned that the Council had approved repairing their jet rodder equipment and that will probably be completed next week; they clean with the jet rodder and once the system is cleaned, then they go in with the cameras. -3- December 10, 1980 /Pe M C/M Disraelly asked if they go in with the cameras and find new places to seal, could this get rid of some of this grit which has accumulated? Mr. Keating replied that it certainly could. C/M Disraelly asked how close they are to ccmpleting the video taping and Mr. Keating indicated that this will be an on -going thing; they have a grant for the SSES Program and that work will be started with a major effort beginning in the next few weeks. Mr. Keating further indicated that they went in at first through the areas of Westwood 5, 5A and West- wood 6 and they even worked in the portions of Sunflower and Heathgate that they could get into, but after that they have been juTping around picking up the major breaks that could be found; they have not gotten to the Northwest section and are now moving into the Northeast section. 2.

VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. 37. Possible Closing of 57th Streetat 88th Avenue - Discussion and possible action. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Agendized for second- meeting of December; notify Mr. Ronskowitz of today's discussion. Mayor Falck said this has been reviewed by Council people and individually with the office of the City Manager and is now up for preliminary consideration. Mr. Gross stated that this intersection at 88th Avenue and 57th Street has had numerous accidents since it has been completed and is used as a speedway; people miss the stop signs and the County wishes to eliminate the problem by clos- ing the area similar to what has been done on University Drive. They are recommending the cheapest way out, that is to paint lines, etc..,and the City Engineer and he have objections to that. V/M Massaro indicated that she met with two of the engineers from the County yesterday and she was asked to bring this up at the meeting; the County wants to get out of any responsibility for that corner and they are not talking about lines, but are considering building something similar to what is on University Drive and 57th Street and they are eager to have action on this. She feels we should take their recommendations so we are not liable. C/M Disraelly mentioned that he was under the impression that it is going to be islands, not lines and Larry Keating said what they had discussed was that it would be the preferred method of construction and his recommendation is to curb all the permanent construction. V/M Massaro said she talked with Mr. Ronsko,witz and Mr. Lasher and they indicated that there were going to be islandsthere so that no-one actually could drive through. Mayor Falck said he thinks we are within our right to stipulate that they put curbing in there. Mr. Keating mentioned that in accordance with Mr. Gross's suggestions, with someone not familiar with this area, the islandsmight not be able to be seen and there should be some reflectors installed. V/M Massaro said this item should be agendized so that the public can come in and express themselves. V/M Massaro MOVED that this item regarding the closing of 57th Street at 88th Avenue be formally agendized for the 2nd meeting of December and that also the City Manager notify Mr. Ronsk owitz that we did discuss this today. -5- December 10, 1980 /pe 77 C/M Disraelly SECONDED the motion. C/M Disraelly said consideration should be given to reflectoriz- ing or even putting standards in there. Mr. Gross said Larry Keating has indicated to him that he will contact them to get another plan. V/M Massaro stated that the letter must go out even confirming anything that might be asked of them over the telephone. Melanie Reynolds asked, "If this is closed off, is there any chance that there can be a left arrow on Commercial and 88th Avenue?" Mr. Gross indicated that this has been reviewed by the County Engineering Department and they feel this is not reasonable. He also said that they continually modify at different periods of time, and Commercial Blvd. will be computerized within the next few months. Mr. Morton Student said he has been getting a lot of calls and discussed the problem of 57th Street and 88th Avenue and people are concerned about the problem of not getting through. He said he felt it was a good idea to have a Public Hearing and let the public know about the proposed changes. He feels that there should be another light on 57th Street instead of having the area blocked off. Mayor Falck corrected his comment about a Public Hearing, indicating that it will be an agenda item and not a Public Hearing. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. PUBLIC HEARINGS 4. Utility West Billing - Temj2.

C/M Disraelly then asked Mr. Gross if everyone that is included in this has a card and Mr. Gross responded by saying that they are supposed to have and it .is checked out fairly often by the Police Department. C/M Disraelly asked if this was going to be a renewal every five years; Mr. Gross replied this is what the Police Depart- ment recommended. C/W Kelch indicated that the idea of five years is that someone continuing in business has new employees coming in; the problem is the drain on our personnel and use of our photographic equip- ment, etc. C/M Zemel asked Mr. Birken if heir satisfie3that people who cut lawns and gardeners are included in Line 21. Mr. Birken said it did not appear to be included and C/M Zemel suggested that it should be included as the people that wander around in our neighborhoods should be identified. Mr. Gross stated that it would be difficult to police. V/M Massaro said the average person who cuts grass is there for a few days and is gone again and felt also that it would be difficult to police. C/M Zemel offered an amendment to the motion wherever the City Attorney deems it proper in the Temporary Ordinance,to include landscapers and gardeners so that we could control wanderers. C/M Disraelly suggested that we call in Chief McIntosh to get his opinion. Since Council had to wait for Chief McIntosh, they went on to the next item. 12. Broward Count Land Use Plan - Temp.

(see Page 9) Mr. Gross explained to Chief McIntosh that Council had been discussing adding an it e m as suggested by C/M Zemel covering landscapers and people who cut grass. Chief McIntosh said he has no objection to that; however it is very difficult to enforce each and every one of those. He said it is a good tool to have and cited a recent case. C/M Zemel indicated that his amendment to the motion will stand. Mr. Birken said that on Line 5 after the Card "Employee; just put a semi -colon, add "and to require registration of lawn maintenance service employees." On Line 20 after word "collection, add "lawn maintenance service employees." V/M Massaro asked who the Code Enforcement would look to to determine if employees have the registration cards and the Mayor said he thinks they would look to the person employing the person and Mr. Gross agreed. C/W Kelch suggested publicizing this around the sections and C/M Disraelly said it should go to the maintenance association in each section so that they will be aware of it.

Administrative Operations - Discussion and possible action. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Laura Stuurmans to be Acting City Mgr. effective Jan.3, 1981, if no permanent City Mgr. is hired by that time. Mayor Falck indicated that this item was placed on the Agenda at his special request in view of Mr. Gross's resignation and he read the attached statement, Attachment No. 1. C/W Kelch said the offer was made by Mr. Gross to give us the benefit of his services beyond the point of January 3rd if the job had not been filled and asked if this was still the situa- tion. Mr. Gross said he had indicated to Council that he would stay on one more month. C/W Kelch said she would like the above considered by the Council rather than any other action being taken as specifically as January 3rd. V/M Massaro said she has no objection to the action the mayor is recommending, but she wants to know what is happening as to any further applicants or whether there is any further advertising. She doesn't want to see this as a permanent thing and she would like to see an experienced, qualified City Manager come in when Mr. Gross's vacancy occurs. Mayor Falck said at the specific request of C/M Disraelly and C/M Zemel contacts were made with the Florida League of Cities and advertising was inserted in their last bulletin. In addition to that, he has contacted the ICMA and they are including our ad in the current issue which will be out December 15th; there will be a cut-off as far as applications are concerned not later than January 15, 1981. He said all of the advertising that he knows of in order to accomplish the objectives of C/M Disraelly and C/M Zemel have been implemented. V/M Massaro asked if that means that we have to wait until the 15th of January before any decision can be made? Mayor Falck said if we get an.application or we have people under consideration, he t h 1 nk-§— they can be hired at any time and asked Mr. Birken for his opinion. Mr. Birken indicated that if the majority of the Council want to engage anyone, they have that prerogative. -11- December 10, 1980 /pe C/M Disraelly referred to memo of November 12th that the Mayor wrote to the members of Council which said, "No-one from Council has indicated what they desired about candidates except C/M Disraelly did ask additional advertising take place" and then on November 20th C/M Disraelly said he followed that up with a memorandum to the Mayor and Members of Council whereby he asked and briefly indicated that minimum of advertising in the Broward Leage Magazine and the maximum would be through the ICMA Publication, which was done, and he is thankful for that. He thinks the City would have been remiss if it had not explored every possibility for a n y potential candidate for City Manager througout the country who might apply and we do have until January 15th to get those other applications in. Mayor Falck said, in the meantime if an applicant comes in that is specifically of interest, or if we have somebody already on file in which the Council is interested, we certainly have the opportunity of engaging that person at a time that Council desires. C/M Disraelly mentioned that we accepted the resignation effective as of January 3rd and indicated that Mr. Gross has done a most creditable job for the City in many areas, and even in private industry previously it was very difficult to let people go some- times, but found out that "lame ducks" are not the proper manner in which to operate because you do not know what the termination date is. He feels that once a determination had been made that January 3rd would be the date, ve ;,'Mould go with the procedure that the ._Mavro-r--...has._..outl.ine_d.. _.__... (Tapeside #3) The City Manager said the 30 days he gave to Council was just to help the Council and he feels that Laura Stuurmans is an excellent person and hopes that she takes it on a full time basis, as she could do as good a job as anyone for the City of Tamarac. Morton Student indicated to Council that if an employee has been with the City for a long time and has done their work well and h as the other qualifications, he feels it would be well to have Laura Stuurmans as the permanent City Manager. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 25. Westwood 22 - Revised Site Plan - Discussion and possible action to approve a revised site plan for a fence. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled to December 24th meeting. Mayor Falck read the item and then asked V/M Massaro to take the gavel. Mr. Al Miller, Chief Building Official indicated that the only problem was that there was an easement, but a fence could be put up there; this was the reason a permit was not issued. C/M Disraelly said he visited there the other day and the chain link fence extending east and west on McNab Road is in and they are asking for the north/south extension. There is a lift station there in that corner and Mr. Miller said there is also a big electric transformer there. C/M Disraelly said he couldn't see the electric box because there are a lot of shrubs that obscure the lift station. C/M Disraelly was questioning the fact that the growth of those shrubs should be cut back so the red light could be seen if it ever goes on and wanted to get the opinion of the City Engineer on this question. C/M Disraelly discussed the above problem with the City Manager and he replied that to his knowledge there has never been a problem there. C/M Disraelly asked Mr. Miller if this fence would be outboard of the utility easement. -12- December 10, 1980 /pe r-6—� Mr. Miller said it is allowed, because they realize if they have a fence and that easement has to be gotten into, the fence will have to come down. Mr. Gross said we may want them to put a gate in so that we can go within the easement. V/M Massaro asked Mr. Miller if this fence encloses the lift station in any way and Mr. Miller said, "No." V/M Massaro said it is her understanding that you must go through the parking lot, which is private property, to get to the lift station and felt that Mr. Birken might have something to say about this. Mr. Alan Stevens stated that he was on the Board of Directors of Westwood 22 and has prepared the drawings in front of Council being that he is a qualified engineer. He indicated that FPL had given them a waiver as far as the easement is con- cerned; there is a 6' easement on either side of the property line and the lift station does not in any way affect the fence or the fence affect the lift station. Mr. Leo Hacker, President of Westwood Community 4 Association said, concerning the lift station, if they did not have a fence, there is no way anybody could get to that lift station unless they went through their own parking lot. It is surrounded by private property all the way, so any objection to having to use private property to get to that lift station doesn't have any bearing on the matter. The easement that exists by the FPL is on the border of their parking lot and a 5' width of that is where they have put the fence. V/M Massaro asked Mr. Hacker if the fence goes from the street and Mr. Hacker, said "yes, maam." V/M Massaro stated that there is an easement that this fence is going on and asked if we have legal access to this lift station from a public dedicated street or through areas that are now on an easement. Mr. Larry Keating, City Engineer said if everything in the past was done correctly, the answer is "yes". His recommendation is that sufficient information including the lift station itself, the existing easements and the access ways be shown on this drawing so that Council can evaluate if the problem exists. V/M Massaro explained to Mr. Stevens and Mr. Hacker that we are not trying to make a difficult situation about putting a fence up, but we are concerned about how we are going to reach that lift station and this has to be resolved before anything goes up. She said perhaps Mr. Stevens could put more information on the drawing. Larry Keating, City Engineer said we need to know where this lift station is and asked that it be shown on the drawing. V/M Massaro stated that this has to be resolved through our City Engineer's office as we must know how we can get to our lift station; if the fence interferes with getting to the lift station, we may need an easement from Westwood to get to the lift station through the parking lot. Mr. Keating asked Mr. Stevens to show the proper information on the drawing. Mr. Stevens said he has submitted 4 drawings and has never been told what the City wants. C/M Disraelly went out there and he found there is a private home to the east of it and he became concerned as to how we get into that lift station. -13- December 10, 1980 /pe Mayor Falck MOVED that this be tabled until the second meeting in December. C/M Disraelly SECONDED the motion. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. V/M Massaro said we are not asking Mr. Miller to take any action until such time that Council acts on this. V/M Massaro returned the gavel to Mayor Falck. GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE/FINANCIAL 14. Broward County - 205 Program - Discussion and possible action concerning County proposal relating to collection of garbage and trash. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: City interested in program, but asked..for..an acceptable agreement. Mayor Falck read the item and said we should discuss this and relate our feelings to the County. C/M Disraelly asked Mr. Birken what the status of our contract was with BFI and Mr. Birken replied that it will come into play after that contract but they want the commitment now. C/M Disraelly indicated that if they get commitments from 20 cities, or whatever number they get, they are talking about starting to build the plant in 1981 and the plant will be operational in 1986; if something happens in between, what happens with waste matter. V/M Massaro MOWED that we should _ O.tifythe County that we cannot accept the agreement in its present form and hopefully they will recon- sider the agreement and present it in a form that may be more acceptable to our municipality and thinks this is the only response we can give them, and C/W Kelch SECONDED the motion. Mr. Gross said he believesthis is a very important agreement; we are never going to know what the costs are going to be until we are many years into the program and it is a difficult decision to make. All the cities in Broward County are going to have to make the decision and will have to go along with it. Mr. Gross further indicated that if we do not, we are going to find our- selves completely in the hands of private industry who may or may not have to charge substantial rates in order to take care of our garbage; the cities that get in initially will have the chance to be involved in Federal programs. C/W Kelch said she is thinking of dividing Broward County as we would be united with other northwestern Broward cities. Mayor Falck mentioned that there has been such a wide difference of opinion with the municipalities in northwest Broward that it seems almost impossible at this time for us to go into the area of regionalization; about a year ago, we found that there was a big difference in the charge that was being offered to us as compared to Margate. The additional mileage is what is related to the charge and we don't want to put ourselves in the position of putting this in the southern part of the County, as we will be the ones paying an additional charge. Miramar is working on their own plan and an individual from BFI also spoke on this subject indicating that once the plan is finalized, that they would be in a position to be bidding for either the erection and the operation or the operation alone. -14- December 10, 1980 /pe A M L _� C/W Kelch stated that we should indicate there is a problem, but we shouldn't relinquish control over where this should be located. Mayor Falck said if we indicate we are interested, the County will work with us on this contract as they are always commend- ing this City; the County has a long way to go based on the information available at the present time. Miramar sent a representative to Stuttgart, Germany to look at their project and they are planning to implement that type of an operation for the southwest part of the County; Mayor Falck wonders why the County doesn't get aggressive and do something similar. His own personal feeling is that we ought to express an interest in the County -wide program, but ask for a change in the contract. C/M Disraelly said we have to find out where the disposal plants will be located. Mayor Falck indicated that they probably would be in the South area with a facility; that facility could easily be the one developed by Miramar. He doesn't believe there will be one in the Central area, but one in the North and one in the South. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 26. Woodmont Country Club - Revised Site Plan - Discussion and possible action to approve a revised site plan for an addition to the golf maintenance building. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved. Mr. Tom Schnars of Keith & Schnars stated that they prepared the revised site plan and this is really an addition to the maintenance building for storage purposes; one of the portions is a roof over the entrance doors going into the golf cart storage building. C/M Disraelly asked if this is a permanent set-up and Mr. Schnars replied that it will have to be considered as a permanent thing now as this is the only area that is really available for storage for both golf courses. Mr. Bill Jeffries, Supt. of Woodmont,stated that the carts will never go back under the club house. C/M Disraelly asked what type of building this was and Mr. Schnars responded by saying it was a Butler building. He further indicated that the storage building is for supplies and the roof structure is just an open roof structure for lawn mowers and tractors. Mr. Jeffries said it will also protect the golf bags which will be stored there. V/M Massaro asked whether any of these additions affect residential areas and both gentlemen said, "No." C/M Disraelly asked is there was any shrubbery on the westerly edge and Mr. Jeffries replied that there are trees there and planting along the north side of the area and on the east he has just put in hedges for screening. V/M Massaro MOVED the approval of the Revised Site Plan for the Woodmont Country Club addition to the maintenance building at the Woodmont Golf Course as indicated on the revised site plan, and C/M Disraelly SECONDED the motion.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Funds approved and Committee commended. Mayor Falck read this item. V/M Massaro reported that they had expenses of $1,321.30, most of which are for items that certainly should be available next year without replacement; the Committee will stand by to see how the items are handled and see that they are stored properly by the Public Works Department so that next year they will be available to us. She has asked the City Manager to take care of this. She indicated that they collected $1,664.18, which were contribu- tions from the various people that the list was routed to; individual copies will be made available to members of Council. She said there was a surplus of $342.88 after all the expenses were taken out. The contribution list will be available for Council's perusal at any time and there will be complete copies given to the Finance Department. C/M Disraelly asked if the surplus will go into the General Funds, or will be saved for next year's Holiday Committee? V/M Massaro stated that this Committee will be disbanded now and it will be up to C/M Zemel as to what he wants to do about any future Committee. V/M Massaro recommended that we make an effort to decorate at least one street, perhaps on Commercial Blvd. which is the entrance to our City; a fund could be started for this. C/M Disraelly mentioned that we did have a Holiday Committee and hoped that the funds will be available for any holiday, and V/M Massaro objected to this idea. C/M Disraelly said that as far as using the funds for illumination of streets.., this is done practically by every other city in the Count, with the help of merchants and the Chamber of Commerce rather than a city function; ornaments are good for 3 or 4 years, have to be maintained, and this becomes very expensive. -16- December 10, 1980 /pe C/M Zemel said the Tamarac Holiday Committee was a private, non-profit, incorporated organization created by V/M Massaro and himself, Mr. Solly Goldberg of the Summit Bank, all as citizens; they were the 'Tamarac Holiday Committee. He indicated that they collected $6,000.00 privately and then decided after a year to donate the trees, menorahs, and all the decorationsto the City; the City had nothing to do with it at all, nor did they spend any monies except to help with labor. C/M Zemel said he liked V/M Massaro's idea and he further suggested a banner across University Drive saying, "Happy Holiday To All." Mayor Falck thought the idea had a lot of merit and it should be given some consideration. V/M Massaro suggested that this $342.88 could be used for a banner and that it would be a good way to start off the year. Mayor Falck said he wanted to commend V/M Massaro and the Committee for an outstanding job and he had been very moved by the City celebration. Mayor Falck particularly commended Pastor Clinton on his moving benediction. C/M Disraelly MOVED approval of funds that were presented to us, the receipts, the expenditures and the surplus and to commend the Committee for an outstanding job with the thanks of Council for the work that the Committee did and the excellent presentation that was given to the public and thinks it was the best one the City ever had and that the surplus funds be held in a separate account by the Finance Department ear -marked "Holiday Festival." C/M Zemel SECONDED the motion. C/M Zemel also commended the Committee and commented that the children enjoyed it as much as the adults. V/M Massaro said she has been asked if the money could be used for a different purpose, but feels that it should not be used for something else; this is a City function, but the money came from business people and they should feel they participated in the celebration. C/M Zemel suggested that consideration should be given to asking V/M Massaro to continue on with this and mentioned that a banner should be up from pole to pole. VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.

Reso. #1788 c) Landscape Plan d) Development Review Agreement e) Water and Sewer Developers'Agreement Located on the north side of McNab Road, between University Drive and 70th Avenue. (Tabled from 12/2/80) SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: a) Approved, subject to conditions. b) Approved, with stipulation. c) Approved. d) Not needed. e) Approved for 202 ERC' s. RESOLUTION NO.R_ PASSED Mayor Falck read the item and the City Attorney said he had spoken to the attorney for this project who has been ill, and that is the reason for the delay; however the information is now in hand. a) Mr. Greg Darby discussed the site plan,stating that the project consists of 201 attached units with a density of about 5.9 units per acre; the two tracts that this is developed on are R3 and R4A Zoning categories and they are below the number of units that can be built, thus allowing for more beautification around the perimeter. C/M Disraelly asked if the retention area will be developed by opening up the existing canal and Mr. Darby said they will be creating a lake. C/M Disraelly said he has no problem with the site plan, but is concerned with the signalization at McNab & Brookwood. When McNab is four-laned, it will be a primary road and as this becomes developed, people will have a problem getting out of Brookwood Blvd. from this new project to McNab Road; without signalization they might not be able to get into the Family Mart or into McNab Shopping Plaza. C/M Disraelly indicated that he has spoken to Mr. Darby and to John Gerren of the Department of Highways, and they are agreeable to bonding half of the cost of signalization in the amount of $20,000.00 for a period of three years for the County to make traffic studies, at which time if they put a light in within three years, the County would pay the other half. If it is not put in within three years, the bond would no longer be required. If at some future date the County put it in, it would be at the County's expense.

Mayor Falck read Temporary Resolution #1788 by title. b) Mr. Darby said the Plat has been approved by Staff and he is requesting appointments with the Mayor and the City Clerk so that he cane-: have it done by close of day or early tomorrow morning and he will hand -carry it around to get signatures he needs. Mayor Falck indicated that this would be fine with him. V/M Massaro said she thinks Mr. Darby has prepared a check for $135,675.00 for the recreation fees and this is based on 2.01 acres required and the amount per acre was $67,500.00; that was arrived at by adding the �60,000.00 plus the $75,000.00 and divided by two and she asked Mr. Darby to give the check to the Mayor. Mr. Birken indicated that the City is to hold the deed for that road in escrow until the Noranda Plat is approved by the County Commission. The County Commission has imposed an impact fee on non-residential projects which apparently has added a half - million dollars to the cost of the Noranda project. 'i-hey may not move forward to get their plat approved at the present time; however they still have the obligation to put the road in, but there needs to be clarification concerning that road and this project -- if, in fact, they do not move forward, that road has to be built before this project is recorded. The instructions were that the deed would not be recorded until the Noranda Plat is approved, which could present a problem. Mr. Darby said they own the land, but that his client would not object to that being made a requirement prior to this plat being recorded, whichever comes first. V/M Massaro MOVED that subsequent to approval of the Plat by the County Commission, the City is to be given permission by the developer to record the deed for N.W. 72nd Street, which is being held in escrow at the present time and which we have, and further MOVES that the Plat for Brookwood Gardens be approved which is indicated on Resolution No. 1788. Mr. Darby indicated that the deed will be recorded prior to recording of their Plat. C/W Kelch SECONDED the motion.

One secretarial to a driver, will to aid social Mr. Gross said he worked out with the RSVP Agency a Letter of Understanding which had already been set up to employ five volunteers under their program. One of those positions is being converted from a secretarial position to a driver/messenger position and we have already asked them to send us people for interviews; sometime next week people will be involved under the RSVP program to do the driv- ing. If Virginia Taylor needs any help, we will use city employees for that. C/W Kelch asked ifitvasMr. Gross's -intention to report on where this city person is to come from? Mr. Gross said he had contacted C ETA and tried to get some funds from them, but there were none available and they contacted the Agency on Aging and many other agencies, but no-one had any personnel; that is the reason we went back to the RSVP Program. C/W Kelch said that between now and then there may not be any need for city employees to do any driving. C/M Disraelly asked if anyone was aboard yet from RSVP and Mr. Gross answered, "No." Mr. Morton Student asked what happened to the drivers from Lime Bay and other places who are volunteer drivers to drive the social service van. -21- December 10, 1980 / pe J Mr. Gross replied that these are all volunteers. Mayor Falck stated that Mr. Student should have an answer to his question and asked Ms. Virginia Taylor for her comments. Ms. Virginia Taylor indicated that there are 10 drivers who are also work- ing through RSVP with their insurance at least, but at the present time these 10 drivers are assigned to 10 separate runs -- morning and afternoon, which makes 10 for the week. There are two of those drivers who have been hospitalized over the last month and one of them may be back in this month the other one cannot be back in until January. This is the problem that exists for Tuesday afternoon and Friday afternoon. There are two other drivers out of the 10 who will take an extra run on occasion, but they do not want to be assigned to it on a permanent basis. This creates a problem because we must have a driver for both the afternoon and the morning, or we have to cancel the whole day. The Lime Bay drivers are still there -- we are not replacing these people; this is only a back- up emergency when a driver is not available. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 29.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: City Mgr, authorized to go for bid, budget adjustment required. (See Page 1) C/M Disraelly said this item was seen at the Broward League of Cities Convention and he was impressed with what the Key Control can do; we can have a physical record of how much gas operators and automobiles are using to tie together the mileage and the amount of gas used so we can start having some control as to the individual cars rather than the method now being used. This will still require some book- keeping, but at .least we will have a different type of record that we can compute for each car. He indicated that the City Manager has given us a report through the Purchasing Officer that we have a pump that can be re -engineered at a cost of �900.00, or buy a new pump at a cost of $1500.00. In addition to that, we would be required to buy this Key Control apparatus; the 50-key one would probably be needed and that is $1,746 which includes a 10% discount. In either case, should we re -engineer this pump or buy a new pump? Mr. Gross stated that this is up to Council; actually at a later date if this works out well, we will probably need a second pump with additional key equipment, because we do have more than 50 vehicles all told. Mr. Gross said he would like to suggest that if we go out for bid at this time, we also go out for a 30--key unit for the utility company so that their pump will also be on the same type of control. C/M Disraelly asked if he was referring to the unleaded pump, and Mr. Gross replied, "Yes." Mr. Gross stated that m os t 1 y small equip- ment u s e the leaded except for one or two vehicles. He further said that he would recommend this route, as this will take care of the vast majority of City vehicles and at that point on we can see if it pays and we can always apply this system to the leaded pump as well. Mayor Falck asked if it was possible to sell the existing pump. Mr. Gross replied that it will not bring in enough money to be worthwhile. He said that we will keep the original pump and re -engineer it for $900.00 or set it up so that the equipment can be used on it. C/M Disraelly asked if there is any advantage to buying a new one for $1500.00? Mr. Gross indicated that he has checked with the company and they informed him that there was no real advantage. He further said that we are trying to re -engineer the gas pump we now have so that it will take key, equip- ment so that anybody going in to obtain gas will be able to use their key to obtain the gas and it will automatically register to that key when the gas is taken. V/M Massaro asked if he is only discussing the pump we now have here and wanted to know why we couldn't act on this now. Mr. Birken inquired as to whether there will be two different companies that will do the work and Mr. Gross replied that the company that the equipment is being bought from will also do the work. C/M Disraelly then asked if we know whether this is the only supplier of this product and Mr. Gross replied, "Yes." We have not found any com- petitive products, but t here may be competitive products. C/M Disraelly indicated that if there are competitive products, then we should go out for bid and V/M Massaro concurred. -23- December 10, 1980 /pe I C/M Disraelly MOVED that the City Manager be authorized for a system of Key Control for our 50-key unleaded gas Public Works Compound and bid for a 30--key Key Control grading, re -engineering and provision of a 30-key unit West.

Reso. #1798 - Discussion and possible action to approve a waiver of the sign oruinance for a temporary sign on property other than their own. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved subject to payment ofapprt�r �1t /8 ees within 7 days & effective Mayor Falck read Temp. Reso. 41798 RESOLUTION NO. R -- '70--,aV�' PASSED by title. Mr. Birken, City Attorney advised that there was an application for a sign waiver and the Beautification Committee recommended approval. Diana Biesterfeld from the Green Thumb Garden Center explained that they are not visible, and although they have a University Drive address, people cannot find them; they thought putting a sign out there would help people to find them and the people that own the property have been advised that if a sign is put up, they would keep it mowed. Mr. Gross informed Ms. Biesterfeld that within the last month, that street has been named, but she indicated that the post office has not notified them of an official change in street name. V/M Massaro asked if the fact that they are on somebody else's property that makes this illegal? Mr. Gross replied, "This is correct." C/M Disraelly explained that it was approved as a temporary sign indicat- ing a location, and that is the reason it was approved at that time, September l5th,and the dicussion came about because in the opinion of the City Attorney the signs could not legally be put on another person's property. On December lst the action giving the approval was rescinaea and with a recommendation that Ms. Biesterfeld-go before the City Council for relief. A special meeting was held on December 8th and the opinion was to recommend that the waiver request be approved. C/M Disraelly suggested that the City Manager waive the fee for the appearance before Council and V/M Massaro disagreed with C/M Disraelly. Mr. Gross said because of the problems they had, he also felt that the fee should be waived. It was decided that a fee be charged. V/M Massaro said inasmuch as the Green Thumb Garden Center has agreed to keep that area mowed and considering that they do have a problem there because they are off the main street, she MOVED that the waiver be approved and that they be permitted to have the sign where it is located, subject to the appropriate fee being paid within seven days effective until September lb, 1981 C/M Disraelly SECONDED the motion.

Bagel Joint III - Sign Waiver - Temp._ Reso. #1799 - Discussion and possible action to approve a waiver of the sign ordinance for signs which do not meet the criteria of the Sunshine Plaza. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved with deviations. RESOLUTION NO.R _PASSED Arthur Birken, City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1799 by title. Mr. Birken explained that there are two signs which the owner of the Bagel Joint wanted to put up, one on the east side and one on the south side of the building. The Bagel Joint is part of the Sunshine Plaza, but is a free-standing building. The script sign that the Beautification Committee approved on the south side was not in con- formity with the adopted criteria for Sunshine Plaza; however the si g n erected on the east side was not what was approved by the Beautification. Committee. C/M Disraelly indicated that the minutes reflect that the sign on the south side will be raised blue lettering on a white background; originally this sign was to have a beige background with yellow letters and a brown outline. The color on the erected sign has lettering that is light in color. Ray Baade, Chairman of the Beautification Committee,explained that the lettering itself is as C/M Disraelly described -- outlined in blue with a shaded blue area as if the letter was in three dimension, but the body of the letter, the part that stands out, is the same color as the background, the background being white plexiglass. The sign as approved by the Beautification Committee was as depicted, but the illustration that C/M Disraelly is showing right now was a second version in lieu of the italicized style of lettering. V/M Massaro asked Mr. Fred Amster, owner of the Bagel Joint if he knew what the Beautification Committee had approved and Mr. Gross clarified that it was the sign painter that Mr. Amster dealt with and he was not aware of what was going on at the City Council until recently. V/M Massaro indicated that the sign painter was responsible for putting up a sign that was not approved. Mr. Amster said the sign painter told him that a blue and white sign was wanted and he said,"Fine". V/M Massaro stated that the sign painter is responsible to Mr. Amster for not having the proper sign. C/M Disraelly said Mr.Burenstein, the sign painter, agreed to change the lettering of this sign to conform to the criteria established in the shopping plaza, which is blue raised lettering on a white background. Unfortunately, there is a criteria from the shopping center that says, "Blue block letters on a white background" and this is what was approved by the Beautification Committee. C/M Disraelly said that Mr. Baade was hospitalized at the time, but this is what the Committee approved for the east sign. Mr. Amster asked why he was issued a permit for this sign; the signs are up six months and he has never received a complaint from his landlord. C/M Disraelly said unfortunately the Building Department did not check the criteria of that shopping center. V/M Massaro asked Mr. Gross why it has taken six months to determine that these signs are wrong. She wanted to know what happened with the inspec- tions of these signs when they were installed; this was approved by our Beautification Committee on June 2nd -- the sign permit was issued on June 18th and must have been installed on or before July lst. She said they should have been cited by the 1st of July. --2 5- December 10, 1980 O/P& Mr. Amster said the first thing he heard about this was late October or early November. Mr. Miller reported that they took pictures of the sign, but they didn't tie the two signs together. Mr. Amster indicated that when he was cited by Mr. Benas, he told him that he was willing to paint the lettering blue and would pay the $100.00 to repaint. C/M Disraelly stated that he felt Mr. Amster had a claim against the sign man since he didn't put up the required sign. C/W Kelch mentioned that she spoke to a member of the Beautification Committee and they didn't even notice that they were two different signs; they approved both of the signs and the man acted innocently and she thinks it is persecution of this man. Mr. Birken stated that the regulations only permit one sign because is isn't on a corner location. V/M Massaro asked Mr. Amster whether he did state that he would make the letters blue and Mr. Amster replied that he had agreed to that. V/M Massaro said that under the circumstances in this particular case, there were too many days that have gone by; the sign painter made an error and the building department was wrong, and if the color of the lettering is changed, this would correct a multitude of sins. C/M Zemel said he doesn't think the point should be argued at all and that the signs should be left alone. C/M Disraelly stated that this ordinance was written three years ago and it was decided then that the City establish a criteria for color. He doesn't feel it should be left this way, but the coloring of the sign should be changed. (Tapeside V/M Massaro MOVED that the owner of this establishment be required #7) to have the letters made blue as was requested by the Beautification Committee with the white background and that both signs be permitted to remain there and that 'Temporary Resolution #1799 be approved and those conditions be applied to the resolution as being necessary to make these signs legal.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled to meeting of 12 24/80. Mr. Birken, City Attorney read Temp. Reso. 41795 by title. C/M Disraelly spoke to Mr. Gene Toll yesterday and asked him if he owned the property and was advised that Woodmont owns the property but that he has an option to buy; it could be a couple of years away for development of N.W. 70th Street. There are stakes across the median at the middle exit from the Shops of Tamarac and he almost had an accident there because a woman went west of those stakes. He said that on Sunday he reviewed this and saw many tire marks. He further indicated that we can't leave it this way; they are break -away stakes and he feels the curbing should be put in, but action cannot be taken until Barry Eden is here. -26- December 10, 1980 /pe L-:] C/M Disraelly MOVED to table this item until the next regular meeting and C/M Zemel SECONDED the motion.

CITY COUNCIL REPORTS C/W Kelch - None V/M Massaro discussed a paper collection problem; she said they are not collecting in her section, but the wrong people are picking up the papers. They are not picking up on Wednesday in her area. C/M Disraelly said the complaints have Gone to the Asst City Manager and she has contacted MGM and this is supposed to have been aken care of. He said the Code Enforcement Officer was advised two weeks ago by memorandum to review that particular section and he was advised to be in that section between 7:00 A.M and 9:00 A.M. on last Monday. Mr. Gross indicated that he will look into this before the next Council meeting. V/M Massaro stated that the people are mixed up and are not sure of the day to put papers out. Mayor Falck suggested that we write a brief paragraph and get it to the people who write the newsletters and results will be obtained;he feels it is too good a program to lose. C/M Zemel said he had to bring his papers back in as nobody had picked up. C/M Disraelly indicated that a good job is being done in his neighborhood and further stated that 55 tons were picked up last month. C/W Kelch stated that the man has never come to Mainlands 1 and 2 before dark, but others are coming in and picking up the papers. V/M Massaro said the Police Department should be catching the scavengers. C/M Disraelly reported that in the month of August 37 tons were picked up, 41 tons in September and 55-1/2 tons in October and there is almost $1000.00 that has been recovered up to date. He then discussed an ordinance concerning the parking lot lights that the shopping centers were supposed to put in by December 30th. Some have not started yet and on October 27th he had mentioned this under Reports. Mr. Gross indicated that he will have a report tomorrow morning, but all of them have been notified. C/M Disraelly indicated that nothing has been done about signs that are in violation of our ordinance, and he thinks signs should be brought into conformity. C/M Zemel mentioned that many of the snow -birds have forgotten about the Wednesday newspaper collections and we should let them know again. C/M Zemel discussed the dynamite blasting in the west and stated that it has become worse than ever; at 4:oo P.M. there are one or two blasts that are very strong. He has been in touch with Commissioner Howard Craft and Commissioner Forman. This coming -27- December 10, 1980 /pe Thursday he is going to meet with the owner of the blasting rig, the County Blasting Inspector,Mr. Bauman,will be accompanying him and Mr. Bauman's boss',who is Chief of Zoning for the County,and they all seem to agree that the ordinance allows the dynamiting limits; therefore some- thing must be wrong with the ordinance. There has been a seismograph at a home at 83rd Street for the past 90 days and not once has the automatic count exceeded the blasting allowance that the County has in the Ordinance. C/M Zemel further mentioned that he is arranging a meeting of the residents of Sections 23, 24 and Spring Lakes some- time after Christmas; the Chief of Zoning, the Plant Inspector, Commissioner Craft, Commissioner Forman and possibly Anm Kolb will be in attendance. The situation is becoming really bad because the dynamiters are moving south- east, which means they are coming closer to Tamarac than ever before. He said that C/M Disraelly has been working with him and he thinks we are going to get a resolution on this. C/M Zemel said the work on the drainage improvement on Section 24 has started; they were digging out the canal and are ,marking_ toward Southgate Blvd. This should be completed by New Years except for beautification. 35. CITY MANAGER REPORT Mr. Gross advised that the antenna was not removed and we are having it removed tomorrow morning so that the additional repeaters can be put up for the police system. 36.

COUNCIL REPORTS Mayof kalcksaid it is necessary for him to be out of the city on Friday, December 12th to attend the Insurance Fund Board Meeting in Orlando. He indicated that our own plan for health coverage is coming up for renewal shortly. The Medicare Plan will be revised by the Federal Government effective January lst with an increased deductible in the total number of days' benefits granted under the A portion. The fund will be paying his expenses and he feels that it is essential for him to be there. The Mayor mentioned that has has given each member of Council a report that he made on his meeting in Tampa concerning the Pension Plan and asked Council to feel free to raise any questions on this subject. The Mayor indicated that our plan is working out very well and some of the things in our plan are being recommended by the State to be adopted by all municipalities. --28-- December 10, 1980 /pe I M C/M DisraellK said he was told yesterday that the helicopter is still landing over the Gate almost daily and asked Mr. Birken to look into this.

He decided that it was time for a change and his resignation was accepted by Council. His departure date of January 3 is rapidly approaching and we need to address the question of transition today. a On January 3 of this year we named Laura Stuurmans Assistant City Manager. The Resolution approving her appointment provides that she "shall serve as Acting City Manager in the absence or disability of the City Manager assuming his duties and responsibilities". There is no question in my mind that Laura can manage the City affairs with the competence that she has demonstrated in her ten plus years with Tamarac that has allowed her to progress from secretary to her current status. I have taken the liberty of speaking with Laura to deter,,A ne whether she would be willing to serve as Acting City Manager until we are able to fill the big shoes that Ed will leave.
