SYNOPSIS_ OF_ ACTION: TABLED
to the 1/2/86 Council meeting
providing both Telesat and

Mr. Henning read Temp. Ord.__#1227 by title.
Michael Moskowitz, Attorney representing the petitioner, said they
are requesting the approval of the transfer of an existing fran-

Cablevision, Inc. is purchasing the stock of UTA. He said UTA has
a non-exclusive franchise in Kings Point and Tamarac Gardens and
is presently servicing approximately 400 residents. He said their
record has been outstanding and the approval of this franchise
will not change the quality of service.
Mr. Moskowitz said all the commitments that presently exist will
be honored by Telesat. He said Nancy Unofsky, who is presently
the General Manager of UTA, will be the General Manager of Telesat
and is a resident of Woodmont.
Harry Cushing, Executive Vice President of Telesat, said he has
been a resident of Tamarac for 3 years. He said Telesat has been
incorporated since 1981 and they started building cablesystems
late in 1982. He said to date they have approximatly 30 cable -
systems both franchised and private in Dade, Broward and Palm
Beach Counties. He said they are opening offices in Orlando and
Tampa and will be expanding throughout Florida.
Mr. Cushing said on 4/30/85, they were acquired by a holding
company for Florida Power & Light, FP&L Group, and they are now a
fully -owned subsidiary of that group. He said Telesat has the
financial ability to provide the quality of service that has been
maintained to this point at Kings Point.
V/M Massaro asked if Telesat has an office in Tamarac and
Mr. Cushing said their office is located in Pompano Beach on
Powerline Rd. with a local telephone number. V/M Massaro asked
what kind of response time they have for service calls and
Mr. Cushing said typically the next business day with emergencies
responded to 24 hours a day.
V/M Massaro said she has some questions concerning various items
that are offered and she would like to compare everything with the
other company. She said she feels that could be done before the
second reading of Temp. Ord, #.1227.

Mr. Henning said this is first reading and there will be second
reading after an advertised public hearing. He said he under-
stands that there is an acquisition by Telesat of a few cable
companies. Mr. Cushing said there are other systems of UTA that
are in Palm Beach and Dade Counties as well.
Mr. Henning said Section 2 of the Ordinance provides a reasonable
period of time to make the stock transfer and Council needs to
know when that stock transfer will occur. Mr. Cushing said he
will provide that information to the City Attorney's office within
the next few days.
Mr. Henning said the franchise, under UTA, provides for various
insurance policies and those certificates of insurance should be
at the second reading or at the actual assignment. Mr. Cushing
said those are being delivered to his office today and he will
have them for the City Attorney shortly. Mr. Henning asked
Mr. Moskowitz to prepare an assignment document to be attached to
the Ordinance if it is approved with signature lines for the City
Manager and the Mayor.
John Chappell, representing American Cablesystems, said they are
the franchise holder for the remainder of the City and they have a
local office as well. He said they have demonstrated a serious
commitment to the community over the last few years and they are
not happy about this because the rules are changing. He said
before there was a developer -owned cable system in Kings Point
with no intention to expand. He said FP&L is a new entity which
has announced that they want to be the major player of cable
television in South Florida.
Mr. Chappell said competition is fine but the residents should
have the same opportunities. He said a comparison of what
American Cablesystems provides vs. what residents of Kings Point
currently receive shows that American Cablesystems has put several
hundred thousand dollars into community programming including a
studio and a mobile production vehicle. He questioned whether
Telesat plans to have a studio and a mobile production vehicle
with the intent of having local community programming.
Mr. Chappell said Mr. Cushing stated they will have 24-hour
service capability and he questioned whether this meant a tele-
phone answering service or a person at the office 7 days a week,
365 days a year. He said they have a local office on 77th Way.
He said they have a 52-channel capable system with over 40 pro-
grammed now with a number of services offered which are not
offered by FP&L. He said some of these include: Nickelodian,
quality children's programming, music television, CNN Headline
News, National Network, the Weather Channel, National Jewish
Television, Christian Broadcasting Network, the local community
channel, video Hits 1, a country music television service and
optional premium services such as Disney channel, the Playboy
channel, American Movie Classics and Bravo.
Mr. Chappell said Mr. Cushing's company is expansion -oriented and
the people in Kings Point have an inferior service and American
Cable would like to see them have the same options the rest of the
City does. He said there are two ways to make that happen, first,
by making Telesat upgrade the quality of their service to provide
the same things American Cable does and, second, let American
Cable in to compete. He said presently, the developer does not
allow them to go in there and he suggested Council consider
allowing an easement for American Cable to provide Kings Point
service in conjunction with FP&L.

C/M Stein said he discussed what "non-exclusive franchise" for the
cable systems meant with the City Attorney and he explained that
the City allows competition and does not give out exclusive
contracts for franchises. He said he found that is only the legal
language since the fact is that the developer has a right not to
grant the easement to allow other cablesystems into the area. He
said he would like to review this further.
V/M Massaro said she felt this should be approved on first reading
since the residents from Kings Point will appear at the public
hearing to discuss their feelings concerning the service there.
V/M Massaro MOVED APPROVAL of T_mps Ord._#,1227 on first reading.
C/M Gottesman said he would like to request both cable companies
to present to Council all the things their services supply or will
supply including rates before the public hearing.
Mayor Kravitz called for a SECOND to the MOTION for APPROVAL of

Discussion and possible action to award a bid for long term

Mr. Henning read Igmy. Rpso,19 by title.
Mr. Henning said the Pension Board and staff have been considering
long-term disability for several years and have finally received a
few bids on this. He said it will take some of the burden off the
Pension Plan and is a good benefit for the employees. He told
Council there are premiums of $4,408.66 per month based on the
present payroll. He said this is a 12-month contract.
C/M Stein questioned if this was a line item in the budget and

a) Joseph Stokvis, Editor of the Tam -A --Gram, said he would like the
record to indicate the City's thanks to the Ambassador Savings &
Loan Association for subsidizing the printing of the City maps
that are distributed and available at City Hall. V/M Massaro
suggested the City Manager send a letter of gratitude to Ambassa-
dor Savings & Loan.
b) Irving Fenichel, Chairman of the PIC, said in an effort to save
the City money, the PIC solicited payment for 5,000 maps from the
Ambassador Savings & Loan and they agreed. He said the PIC had a
budget for FY 84/85 of $7,500.00 and for FY 85/86 of $5,200.00.
He said they felt they could not operate the FY 85/86 for the
amount of $5,200.00 and produce a fine Tam -A --Gram for 10 months at
a cost of approximately $6,000.00 or more.
Mr. Fenichel said they came to Council to get approval for the PIC
to solicit ads for the Tam -A -Gram and Yearbook which Council did
approve. He said they would now like to supplement their budget
with all monies from advertising in the Tam -A -Gram and Yearbook.
Frank Etheredge, Finance Director, said the money would still come
into the General Fund but, as the advertisement money was brought
in, he will send a budget adjustment to Council to increase the

9. City Co-Ee Account at NCND ILational-- Discussion and
Possible action to close this account and deposit the funds
into an alternate account.
$YNQPSIS,. OF ACTION: The Finance
Director was authorized to negotiate
with NCNB, along with Soley Goldberg,
with a report to Council on their
findings.
Mr. Etheredge said the CORE Account is comprised of the City's 3
checking accounts which are maintained at NCNB. He said they
require the City to hold $235,000.00 as a minimum balance for
which they pay the City a nominal rate of interest. He said he
would like authorization to approach them to allow the City to
free this $235,000.00 and just put in that account the amount of
checks written on a weekly basis. He said the rate of interest
that the CORE Account was paying this year was 6.1% over this last
year and the City would have done better if invested elsewhere.
Mr. Etheredge said the City will have to pay the monthly services
from now on which amounted to approximately $20,000.00 for this
last fiscal year.
Soley Goldberg, resident, said he feels the Finance Director is
right and after discussion with NCNB, they will waive the fees.
He said he was not aware of the fact that the City had to keep
$235,000.00 in that Account. He said without losing interest on
that money, there are other methods by keeping this money in other
accounts and transferring the money when checks are written.
Mr. Etheredge said NCNB recently notified the City that the amount
of money for the CORE Account will be increased to $315,000.00.
Mr. Henning said Council should authorize the Finance Director,
along with other people, to negotiate with NCNB and V/M Massaro
asked to appoint Soley Goldberg to be on this committee.
Mayor Kravitz said he will take V/M Massaro's suggestion into
account.
V/M Massaro MOVED that the Finance Director be authorized to
negotiate with NCNB and she suggested Soley Goldberg be authorized

Woodmont Country Club, said the meter referred to is not a water
meter but is an electrical box that can be raised before pouring
cement; therefore, there is nothing to be moved.
Bob Jahn, Chief Building Official, said they approved the revised
site plan which stipulated that this was a water meter subject to
the applicant moving this meter. He said subsequently, he re-
ceived information that it may not be a water meter and Bob Foy,
Deputy City Engineer, verbally stated that it is a private line
and is not one of the City's water meters. He said this would not
have to be moved.

24. 'c s - Temp. Ord. 11236 -- Discussion and possible
action to create Section 15-8 of the Code to prohibit all
major motor vehicle repairs in residentially zoned areas.
First Reading.
SYNOPSIS OF -ACTION: APPROVED
on first reading as amended.
Mr. Henning read Temp. Ord,- #1236 by title.
Mr. Henning noted there were typos in the title, the word
"Chapter" should replace "Article" and the words, "B-1 Neighbor-
hood Business Center District" should be eliminated.
Mr. Henning said there have been several complaints that there is
extensive motor vehicle repair work being done in residential
areas within the City. He said these are in two categories,
first, just extensive repair and, second, a commercial situation
of repairing vehicles other than the homeowner's vehicle.
Mr. Henning said the Ordinance is not perfect as it is now but
there is input being added from a Margate Ordinance. He said the
City is not trying to prevent anyone from doing minor maintenance
that is needed on one's own vehicle but the purpose is to avoid
the problems of major overhauls for an extended period of time.
He said there is an exception to the Ordinance, which is the
homeowner's garage, if available.
Carl Alper, resident, said this Ordinance is satisfactory to him.
V/M Massaro said she does not like Subsection B, since Paragraph D
takes care of this. She said she does not agree with the language
of allowing "minor repairs" since these should be done in a
garage. C/M Stein noted that there are times when minor repairs
are necessary in one's own driveway. Mr. Henning noted that
portions A and B of the Ordinance should be read together since
minor repairs is defined as changing windshield wiper blades, etc.

10. Tamara --Park -- Ballfield #2 -- Report by City Attorney -
Discussion and possible action on payment for services for
installation of lighting (tabled from 11/27/85)
SYNOPSIS OF ACTIQN: APPROVED
payment for the installation of
the lighting. The City Attorney's
report and actions taken by the
City Manager and Mayor were
APPROVED with efforts to secure
the refund of the State Sales Tax
that was paid.
Mr. Henning said there were two ballfields that were designed for
lighting and the contractor on the job was J.P. Electric. He said
the City looked to Sharon Ellis, former Parks and Recreation
Director, and Bob Jahn, Chief Building Official, and his staff to
provide inspections before there were sign -offs and payments. He
said Ballfield #1 was installed properly, was inspected and
signed --off with the payment made many months ago. He said Ball -
field #2 was proceeding more slowly and there was an approval of
the work with an inspection approved by the Electrical Inspectors.
Mr. Henning said J.P. Electric was having some financial problems
and the City was notified by subcontractors of claims against
them. He said this item was turned over to the City Attorney's
office to determine the appropriate parties for payment and, since
that time, this caused a bankruptcy action by J.P. Electric.
Mr. Henning said he understood that it was delegated to his office
to determine the appropriate payments and to clear the checks with
the Finance Department. He said with Mr. Ruf's assistance, he
contacted the contractors and subcontractors, received the release
of liens clearing any claims against J.P. Electric or the City and
the sign -off has been obtained from the Recreation and Building
Departments. He said he noticed later that the Report of Council
Action specified that this was to come to Council first and he
reported that the City has been protected by his having obtained
the appropriate documentation.

Mr. Henning said the checks have been cut with the appropriate
dollar amounts and released and, hopefully, Council will ratify
the action taken.
C/M Stein said what Council is doing today is academic since they
have already been paid and he MOVED to confirm the actions of the
City Attorney and the Finance Department in paying these amounts.
Mayor Kravitz asked the Acting City Manager if the payments went
through for approval in the regular manner and Acting City Manager
Perretti said they went through the regular channels with the
sanction of the City Attorney for the approval to have them paid.
He said the checks were signed and approved by both he and the
Mayor.
V/M Massaro said she noticed in the contract that they had sub-
mitted that costs for Florida State Sales Tax were included. She
asked if J.P. Electric was bankrupt and Mr. Henning said he heard
there was a bankruptcy action filed after the payment was made and
the releases were received. V/M Massaro suggested Mr. Henning
research this since there is a considerable amount of money
involved and Mr. Henning said he will contact them regarding any
refunds due for Sales Tax.
C/M Munitz said the item that is agendized is incorrect since they
have already been paid. Mr. Henning said the agendized item is a
report by the City Attorney which he just gave. V/M Massaro said
the MOTION is not in order since it must be determined whether or
not they owe the City a refund on Sales Tax before approval is
given.
C/M Stein amended his MOTION to approve the City Attorney's report
and the actions taken as a result of that report by the City
Manager and the Mayor in disbursing the funds. He said if the
amounts paid are not correct, the City Attorney should be author-
ized to take necessary action to obtain refunds on the Sales Tax.

Discussion and possible action regarding settlement of this
lawsuit.
SyNOpSIS F ACTION: The City
Attorney gave a report and Council
APPROVED the satisfaction of the
Judgement acknowledging receipt of
$230.79.
Mr. Henning said there was an Inspector employed by the City who
was driving slowly in a residential area on an inspection assign-
ment when Mrs. Woodward backed out of her driveway with a
collision resulting. He said there was less than $500.00 damage
to the City car but Mrs. Woodward's Cadillac had almost $2,000.00
damage.
Mr. Henning said Mr. Woodward sued the City, since it was his car
and it went to Court and the Judge split the decision. He said
the total damages were combined and the Judge found 50% fault on
each party. He said both the City and Mrs. Woodward were
represented by Insurance Counsel. He said Mrs. Woodward's
insurance company has paid the City for half of the car with a
check in the amount of $230.79 and the City's insurance company
has paid the City's share of the judgment, which was approximately
$1,000.00.
Mr. Henning said the insurance company is seeking approval of the
appropriate City officials to sign the Satisfaction of Judgement
to verify receipt of the check. He said with the City's deduct -
able of $2,500.00, it is possible the insurance company will
request a recovery from the City but this has not happened as yet.

payment in the amount of $5,000.00 for Fiscal Year 1985/86
(tabled from 10/23/85) .
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
payment in the amount of $5,000.00
for FY 85/86.
Mayor Kravitz said he received a note from a member of the Charter
Board which states that it is a violation of the City Charter to
give any money to this private organization.
Mr. Henning said that is why this was item was tabled previously
and the amount donated would be an administrative decision. He
said the City has a section of the Code which is codified and the
enabling Ordinance was 75-22. He read from Ordinance 75-22,
"Whereas, there are constantly a number of requests made by
worthwhile private charities and other private service organiza-
tions for the City funds, and, Whereas, the City Council re-
cognizes that while these requests are certainly worthwhile
activities, it is not possible to grant all of these requests,
and, Whereas, it is not feasible to pick and choose among the
requests for the City's financial support. Now, therefore, be it
ordained by the City Council of the City of Tamarac, Florida, that
the City Council is prohibited from granting requests for
contributions to private charitable organizations and to other
private service organizations."
Mr. Henning said there is something distinguishable about the Area
Agency on Aging since this is more of the nature of a grant than a
contribution. He said there are monies that come from the Federal
Government that go to the State, under Title 42, Section 3025 of
the U.S. Code. He said these Federal funds are given to.the State
for disbursement and the Federal agencies say that the State
government must designate agencies to disburse the Federal funds.
Mr. Henning said the State has designated that under Chapter 410,
which is entitled Aging and Adult Services and 410.024, the Area
Agency on Aging, has been indicated as the organization to assist
the State in the disbursement of Federal funding at the local
level. He said the City is requested to make seed money for
matching funds at either 5 or 10% of the City's money with match-
ing funds at 10 or 20 fold with Federal funds. He said there is
no State organization that does this because this private
organization has been designated by the State to carry out this
quasi -governmental function.
Mr. Henning said he does not feel this is the type of situation
that the Ordinance anticipated. He said if the Council wishes to
continue the contribution he feels the City is legally defensible
to do so. He said he invites anyone to show him the area of the
Charter they are referring to.
Mayor Kravitz noted that the City is having a problem with the
City Social Services van.
C/M Munitz said $15,000.00 was paid in the previous fiscal year
and he felt $5,000.00 contributed to this particular agency was
money well spent. He MOVED to authorize payment of $5,000.00 to
the Area Agency on Aging. SECONDED by C/M Stein.

a) Rezoning Petition #12-z-85 - Temp. Ord, #1219 -
Rezoning of lands at the southwest corner of Commercial
Boulevard and State Road 7 from B-1 (Neighborhood Business)
to B-3 (General Business). Second Reading. (Public hearing
held 9/26/85)
(1) Acceptance of Affidavit of Publication and Affidavit of
Posting

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION:
a) TABLED.
b) The City Attorney is to research
the zoning Code regarding the
period of time involved to
determine if it needs to be tabled
to a certain date.
Mr. Henning suggested that the b) portion be discussed first.
b) Mr. Henning read Temp. Res . #3768 by title.
Mr. Henning said the service station at the southwest corner was
formerly the Sunoco Station and is now owned by Mobil Oil Co.

12/11/85
/pm
Mr. Henning said they first went to the Board of Adjustment
because they had an undersized lot because they were compelled to
give away some street frontage for additional right-of-way to
either state Road 7 or Commercial Boulevard. He said they are
requesting a rezoning and they have agreed to submit a Deed
Restriction that if rezoned to B-3 they would restrict all their
B-3 uses to service station, car wash or convenience store. He
said other than that, they would be entitled to all the B-2 and B
1 uses.
Mr. Henning said a document was prepared by Emerson Allsworth,
Attorney for Mobil Oil, and he recommended approval.
Mayor Kravitz asked if this was not tabled previously for receipt
of this document and Mr. Allsworth said yes, it was held for
signatures.
Mr. Henning noted a minor typographical error on Page 2, it should
be "Tamarac City Council" instead of "Commission".
V/M Massaro noted that it was unusual for the document to be held
for recording for 5 months and Mr. Henning said the recording was
held for the building permits. Mr. Allsworth said this was held
because this went through the General Counsel's Office of Mobil
Oil up in Fairfax, Virginia and they sent down with instructions
to him to hold this until the building permits are pulled. He
said he called Mr. Henning and they concurred that a reasonable
time period would be set within which they could finish the
processing. He said failing that, it would be recorded anyway.
V/M Massaro asked why did Mobil wait to get this approval and
Mr. Allsworth said this rezoning was done at the request of
Richard Rubin, Tamarac's Consultant City Planner, and the City.
He said they were content with the existing zoning. Mr. Henning
said his ruling was that according to the City Code, if more than
25% construction or reconstruction takes place, the benefit of the
non -conforming use is lost. He said because Mobil was planning
some extensive remodeling there, it was not grandfathered in.
V/M Massaro said she objects to giving them any rezoning until
they are ready to file this Covenant because the rezoning is based
on this Covenant. Mayor Kravitz asked if Mr. Allsworth has any
objections to filing the Covenant and Mr. Allsworth said no, it
was held up because there was a question of whether this had to be
platted now because it is an unplatted site. He said they are
moving forward as quickly as possible but they are not ready for a
building permit as yet.
C/M Stein asked what Mobil's objection is to filing this Covenant
now and Mr. Allsworth showed Mr. Henning the written instructions
he received from Mobil. Mr. Henning said any differences concern-
ing this rezoning should be discussed now and when Mobil is ready
to pull the building permits, this item can be put back on the
Council agenda.
Bob Jahn, Chief Building Official, said they have a process known
as a Pre -Review, for which a fee is paid and they can submit for a
building permit. He said without direct instructions from Coun-
cil, it would go to zoning where it would not be signed until the
proper zoning has been put on. V/M Massaro said none of that is
necessary since they should be ready to file this document when
they come in with plans.

the zoning Code regarding the period of time involved to determine
if it needs to be tabled to a date certain.

23. Investments gi Oj`ty_ Funds - Temp. Ord. 41233 - Discussion and
possible action to amend Chapter 9 of the Code concerning
allowable investments. First Reading. (tabled from 11/27/85)
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: APPROVED
on first reading. Second Reading
will be on 1/10/86.
Tape 4 Mr. Henning distributed the revised copies of Temp. Ord*_-#3233.
Mr. Henning noted on Pages 1 and 2 there are the a), b), c) and d)
listing of the various criteria. He said "Investment of City
Funds -- Safekeeping of Investments" has been deleted and there is
a consecutive lettering there. He said there was discussion at
the meeting on the h) portion that it should state "securities"
instead of "negotiable paper" and it is "negotiable instruments",
which is neither. He said it is indicated in h) also that the
Board member should be bonded, which is an addition.
Mr. Henning said this does not refer to the Investment Committee
because this Ordinance creates a staff administrative committee
which is called, "The Board". He said on the bottom of Page 2,
Paragraph A, "The Board shall be composed of City Manager, City
Attorney, Finance Director and Mayor." He said this committee
shall review these investments in addition to the Investment
Advisory Board.
C/M Stein noted that it states only that that person that has to
do with the negotiable instruments must be bonded and Mr. Henning
said that is correct. Ed Solomon, Chairman of the Investment
Advisory Committee, said at their last meeting they made several
suggestions which are now included in this Ordinance. He said the
only thing which was not included is that they feel that every
investment should be recommended by a minimum of two brokers and
they recommend that be included.
Dr. Bernard Newman, resident, asked if there is anything in this
Ordinance which provides a penalty for violation of the City
Charter concerning investments. He said if there is not, there
should be.
Mr. Henning said for the record, there has not been a
determination that a violation of the City Charter has been made
concerning ESM. He said concerning a violation of the Ordinance,
a standard penalty could be included of 90 days in jail and/or a
$500.00 fine.
C/M Gottesman MOVED to TABLE this item until this is reviewed
further with the Investment Advisory Committee, the City Attorney
and others involved. Mr. Solomon said a tabling would postpone
the protection this Ordinance could provide.
C/M Munitz said he wants the opinion and recommendations of the
Investment Advisory Committee in writing concerning this
particular Ordinance. Vickie Beech, resident, said she was a
volunteer secretary for this Committee and she felt there might be
some forced restrictions on the Committee causing them problems in
functioning. She questioned why approval of this Ordinance is
being prolonged.

Mr. Henning said he was asked to work with the Investment Advisory
Committee to prepare an Ordinance at their recommendation. He
said Chapter 9 of the City Code presently delegates the authority
to make the day to day investment decisions to the City Manages;
and his designee. He said the first thing this Ordinance does is
repeal that provision and it creates a staff administrative
committee. He said there has been previous discussion to put the
Investment Advisory Committee in the Charter and that could be a
ballot question for the next election.
Mr. Henning said pursuant to the Investment Advisory Committee's
suggestions the Ordinance stipulates that this staff committee is
going to meet once between every Regular Council Meeting. He
requested all Council, members make their suggestions on streamlin-
ing of this Ordinance to him.

27. Fire Aid Aggeement -- Temp._ Re_so,_ —3225 - Discussion and
possible action to authorize execution of a revised Consoli-
dated Mutual Fire Aid Interlocal Agreement with various
governmental agencies within Broward County.
SYNOPSIS_OF ACTION: TABLED
to determine why this was not
approved in June, 1984.
Mr. Henning read Temp.,Rero—#3925 by title.
Mr. Henning said there is a Mutual Aid Fire Agreement which has
been approved in the past and on the last page are the changes
that are being proposed. He said it appears the Agreement is
being expanded to accommodate the unincorporated area so that the
City can help the County and they can help the City. He said most
of the cities have already approved this and instead of referring
to the "municipal limits" they are referring to the boundaries of
the parties because of the intent to include the County or other
entities that are not municipalities.
Mr. Henning said besides the boundaries, Item 2 concerns Hold
Harmless, as provided by law, which refers to the Sovereign
Immunity and #25 which authorizes the parties to go on and seek
regress in the Courts, if necessary. He said the intent of the
Agreement is not to prevent Court action if someone has a right to
take such action.
V/M Massaro asked how many cities are supposed to sign the Agree-
ment and Mr. Henning said years ago cities were left to their own
devices to reach agreements with their neighbors. He said in the
last few years an effort has been made to have a single document,
which is called a Consolidated Mutual Aid Agreement, with various
cities signing. He said whoever has agreed to this Agreement is a
party to each of all the other cities; however, typically a City
would only deal with adjacent neighbors.
Mr. Henning noted that Tamarac's neighbors of Lauderhill and
Sunrise have not executed this document. V/M Massaro said she
thinks only 8 cities have signed this and she questioned whether
other Council people have studied this Agreement. C/M Gottesman
said when the Mayors signed this previously, Tamarac did not sign
this in June, 1984. He said it should be investigated as to why
this was not done at that time.
C/M Gottesman MOVED to TABLE this item for an opportunity to
discuss this with the Fire Chief and research why this was not
signed in June, 1984. V/M Massaro SECONDED.

a) APPROVED.
b) APPROVED all Task Orders as
listed on the City Engineer/
Utility Director's memo of 11/20/85,
with the exception of Task Order 1.1
which was deleted entirely.
a) Bill Greenwood, Director of Utilities, said the Utilities have
gone through, the Competitive Negotiations Act procedure on
obtaining a consulting engineer. He said the firm of Hazen and
Sawyer has been recommended to Council and he is recommending this
engineering agreement be approved including Addendums 1 and 2 with
Hazen and Sawyer.
b) Mr. Greenwood said there are certain aspects of construction that
must be performed at the existing sewage treatment plant no matter
what decision is made today or in the future pertaining to where
the sewage treatment plant may be located. He said they agree
with the constultants' estimates that there are approximately
$310,000.00 associated with the sewage pump stations. He said
this work has to be done so that the sewage can be conveyed to
either a new plant or a regional plant.
Mr. Greenwood said there is a construction cost estimate for
needed work to be performed at the sewage treatment plant in the
amount of $480,000.00. He said this must be done to keep the
plant in operation until final decisions are made. He said there
are structural problems that need immediate attention.

Mr. Greenwood said they are requesting that the a) portion of this
item concerning the engineering agreement be approved and under
the b) portion,
the tasks listed in his 11/20/85 memor #U85-351, be implemented.
C/M Stein said he has no objection to following the recommenda-
of the
tions of the Utilities Director, however, from his review
prospectus of Hazen and Sawyer, their fee is based upon a total
to the City vote a
rehabilitation. He said he would not like see
full fee to Hazen and Sawyer at this moment because the cost will
eventually decide this matter. He suggested Hazen and Sawyer be
approved only as to the type of work that has to be done.
Mr. Greenwood said he understands C/M Stein's concern and he asked
the City Attorney to review the contract. He said his
interpretation of the contract is that it stipulates the work will
be done on a task assignment. He said he is requesting approval
of the Task assignments listed in his memo of 11/20/85.
Mr. Henning said in similar format with other contracts there is
an underlying agreement for consulting engineering services with
specific task orders that follow. He said in reviewing the
contract, most of the language is standard but he felt there
should be further discussion with Hazen and Sawyer concerning
Paragraph K and their expenses. He said they do have a 110%
multiplier on expenses and he felt there should be a ceiling on
"long
that. He said the telephone charges mentioned should be
distance telephone charges". He said they want reimbursement for
transportation and that should be outside of Broward County. He
said "meals and lodging" should be at the rate in the City Code as

V/M Massaro questioned whether Shelton Enterprises wanted a 3--year
contract with the City and the City wanted a 1-year contract and
Mr. Henning said that was right.
C/M Munitz said under Section 2 it states, "The term of this
contract shall be for a 36-month period." He said this has not
been changed.
Utilities Director, Bill Greenwood, said the background on the
charges is $85.00 flat monthly charge based upon mileage of pipe
that is in the ground plus $.20 per call. He said they have been
receiving between 90 and 115 calls per month on excavations within
the City from contractors and other utilities. He said the
Utilities billing is approximately $105.00 per month average.
Mr. Henning noted that the contract was negotiated at 100 miles
with a flat fee of $85.00.
C/M Stein said the City should stipulate that there is agreement
that there is 100 miles with a maximum cost of $85.00 per month.
Other Council members agreed with this statement and questioned
the time differential of 1 year vs. 3 years. Mr. Greenwood said
he will check on that and come back to Council.
Bill Gronski, resident, asked if that charge covers more than one
run of pipe? V/M Massaro said there will be maximum fee no matter
how much they run of $85.00 per month for the whole City.

SYNOPaIS OF ACTION: TABLED
to the 1/2/86 Council Meeting.
a) Mr. Henning said this is a settlement
of a Water and Sewer Agree-
ment that was in arrears. He said it
was originally for Schmidt
Industries, then Isles of Tamarac and
then was sold off to various
parties. He said the City dealt with
Arbors at the Isles of
Tamarac concerning 30 of the lots involved and the City recently
dealt with approximately 60 lots with
Leslie Evans. He said there
are approximately 17 lots outstanding
that were in default.
Mr. Henning said the outstanding guaranteed revenues were over
$8,000.00 and a settlement has been negotiated for $16,000.00 for
a new Water and Sewer Agreement for a
compromise on the new fees
due.
Dick Coker, representative of Coker Country Associates, said the
$8,222.00 amount includes arrears in the guaranteed revenue
payments plus the connection charges at the prior agreed upon rate
of $245.00. He said the $8,222.00 is what would be paid if the
old agreement still stood for the entire 17 lots. He said if they
did not have that agreement and were seeking a new agreement they
would owe approximatey $27,000.00 in connection charges under the
current rates of approximately $1,600.00. He said they feel they
are under the old agreement and the City has indicated that an old
agreement does not exist. He said they have indicated their
willingness to settle this dispute in the same manner it was
settled with all surrounding property owners. He said they have
agreed on the amount of $16,000.00 as approximately double what
they feel they currently owe the City.
Mr. Henning said this was the agreement that was reached with
Mr. Coker and, in addition to the monies due of $8,000.00, there
was the actual ERC's paid to Tamarac Utilities, Inc. under the
Schmidt Agreement and the guaranteed revenue paid up to 20 months
ago when they stopped paying guranteed revenues. He said the
compromise was that they are paying twice the amount due.
V/M Massaro MOVED to TABLE this item for the 1/2/86 Council

V/M Massaro asked if there were not two other checks due, one for
$9,205.00 and one for $9,450.00 and Mr. Cowan said they were paid
last week as part of the plat approval. Frank Etheredge, Finance
Director, verified these checks were received.
V/M Massaro noted that the amount due for the Water and Sewer
Contribution Charges for 92.5 ERCs was $151,703.28 and Mr. Cowan
said they will pay the additional amount of $3.28 in cash, if
necessary. She said this should be checked further by the

an executed document which he and the City Planner revised so that
the City would be a party to this agreement and it will not be
released without City approval. He said it requires that any of
the tenants in the assisted living area would not be permitted to
have a vehicle on premises or adjacent to the premises while they
are staying there. He said this is based on the calculations of
parking for a nursing home and not an A.C.L.F. development.

c) Mr. Henning said there was a Development Review Agreement and a
Developers Agreement and he merged the two into one document. He
said that document recognizes the fact that there needs to be an
amendment to the Land Use Plan in order to allow a combination of
assisted living beds, which are typically residential, and nursing
home beds, which are typically commercial. He said the use of
this project is a combination of residential and commercial
facilities as recognized in the Broward County Land Use Plan.
Mr. Henning said this agreement was brought up on 12/6/85 and
V/M Massaro has indicated that she would like a provision that
states that until the Land Use Plan is brought into conformance
with the uses, although building and certificates of occupancy
would continue to be granted, the beds would not be occupied until
the Land Use Plan has been approved. He said in Paragraph 6 it
states, "Regardless of the other provisions contained herein, the
City agrees not to withhold building permits or certificates of
occupancy due to the Land Use Plan amendment process."
Mr. Henning said V/M Massaro wants to add the sentence, "Regard-
less of previous commitments, the owner agrees not to occupy the
79 beds assigned to Assisted Living Units until such time as the
City of Tamarac's Land Use Plan is recertified by the Broward
County Planning Council in order to permit said use on its pro-
perty." She said it is their responsibility to ask the City to
initiate this recertification with payment of the fee of up to
$4,000.00.

Mr. Henning said since Mr. Schwartz was not present at the
12/6/85 Council meeting, it would be good to possibly reconsider
this agreement for his review. He suggested moving on to the
other portions of this Item and coming back to this item.
d) Mr. Henning read Temp. Reso. #3938 by title.
Mr. Henning said the site plan was proposed and recently revised
with the emphasis on landscaping with 4 gardens in this building.
He said they have discussed with the developer the attempt to
remove perimeter parking as much as possible adjacent to the
building so that the cars are not pulling up to the garden. He
said the traffic pattern and parking were altered at the request
of the City.
Mr. Cowan said this is a nursing center with a garden feeling. He
said originally there was no outdoor seating area proposed but
they have added 4 garden seating areas and expanded the green
space on the west side of the building by moving a driveway to the
west so that there would be additional outdoor seating on that
side. He said the amount of parking spaces remains the same.
Mr. Henning asked if this is a two-story building and Mr. Cowan
said yes.
e) V/M Massaro said they have been given consideration concerning how
much they paid for the additional A.C.L.F. units in order to have
them do more than is required by Code regarding landscaping. She
asked if the annuals that were in there have been removed and
the City Planner said no, these were not removed as yet.
Ms. Brown said another problem was the encroachment of the utility
easements with trees and shrubs. She said her Department is
requesting release of those easements to plant those trees from
the City Engineer.
V/M Massaro said she would suggest this Landscape Plan come back
to Council with approval of the site plan being subject to that.
She said the annual plants are not satisfactory. Mr. Cowan said
he has no objection with this request and, concerning the utility
easements, they have a blanket utility easement over this entire
site and he questioned what the conflict is. Ms. Brown said the
comment came about yesterday during review of the Landscape Plan
wherein the areas where the trees were located to the front of the
parcel and most of the sides are within the utility easement
covered under the blanket.
Mr. Cowan said originally there was an approved Landscape Plan
which had the same condition from the Beautification Committee.
V/M Massaro suggested the City Planner discuss this with the
Engineering Department so that they can relocate the trees and
shrubs with no problem. Mr. Cowan said they will make the changes
suggested by the City Planner and will work with the Beautifica-
tion Committee.

f) Acting City Manager Perretti said the exact figure for the Water
and Sewer Contribution Charges for 92.5 ERCs is $151,700.00.
Mr. Henning said the Water and Sewer Agreement has been executed
with a unique provision. There has been some discussion regarding
the actual ERCs because it is a nursing center and they do not
feel they have the water demands that a hospital would have and
originally, the connections based on hospital beds were used. He
said there was an agreement reached on the number of ERCs and a
provision that in 6 months they will be reviewed by the engineer
ing department and adjusted, if necessary.
Mr. Henning said concerning the correct amount for the Water and
Sewer Contribution charges for 92.5 ERCs, the factor that the
Engineering Department assigned per bed is .5139 ERCs per bed and,
when multiplied times 180 beds, the total is 92.502 ERCs. He said
the Engineering Department has dropped the two hundredths of an
ERC to make it 92.5 ERCs, thus causing the discrepancy of a few
dollars. He said the agreement is for the figure of $151,700.00
and coincides with the amount of the check submitted today.

a) Mr. Henning said Council suggested a revision on 12/6/85 and when
the City agreed that Mr. Schwartz would work with the City to get
the Land Use Plan revised to permit the combination of residential
and commercial use. He said the Council has asked that the filing
and consulting fees, if any, will be paid by the applicant since
it will be a benefit to him to have this done. He said the
agreement indicates that it will be a maximum of $4,000.00 for
those fees.
Mr. Henning said the revision suggested today addresses the last
paragraph in the agreement. He said the Council has stated that
building permits and certificates of occupancy will be issued for
the development under this agreement; however, the Council is
requesting the applicant agree not to occupy the A.C.L.F. beds
until the Land Use Plan is revised and certified.

RESOLUTION NO. R--85-423 PASSED.
a) Bob Jahn, Chief Building Official, said because the original site
plan was approved showing the landscaping did not show Pad A,
which is this revision for Savings of America, the City asked that
the architect provide a bond of 150% of the certified cost of the
landscaping to allow him to present a modified plan to go back to
the Beautification Committee and Council in January.
Mr. Jahn said he has received the certified cost of that landscap-
ing and it is approximately $27,000.00 because they are all mature
trees. He said he received a check in the amount of $41,046.00 to
be used as a bond until the applicant receives approval from the
Beautification Committee and Council.
Mr. Henning read Temp. -Res . #3931 by title.
V/M Massaro said the applicant was asked for a cash bond on this
so that he could move forward with the understanding that when the
site plan is approved the Finance Department will immediately
process the release of that cash bond.
Mr. Jahn said he has a letter covering those agreements that were
negotiated yesterday afternoon and he submitted those to the City
Clerk. He said as evidence of good faith, the applicant has also
submitted a check in the amount of $1,956.53 as prepayment of his
Beautification Fee. He said he has ten sets of plans on which the
applicant has softened the drivethrough lane of the bank so that
there will be better pedestrian traffic. He said the applicant
has also provided a blown -up plan that shows that he has not
altered or obscured any traffic circulation in that corner. He
said he recommends approval.

b) TABLED until after the Joint
Workshop Meeting with Council and
the Pension Board scheduled for
12/20/85.
a) Mr. Henning said by way of a report to Council, when he was
appointed City Attorney in 1982, John Gronda, of the firm of
Muller, Mintz, Kornreich, Caldwell, Casey, Crosland & Bramnick,
had already been established as special counsel to the City for
specialized labor law representation. He said they have been
called upon to assist the City from time to time.
Mr. Henning said there is presently an outstanding bill dated
11/11/85 in the amount of $173.60 and he recommended this be paid
from the Special Services of the City Attorney's office. He said
in this particular case, the $173.60 is a grievance filed by a
Police Officer and is in the process of defense. He said there is
an estimation of up to $3,000.00 to follow through with this
grievance and he recommended payment with authorization to
Mr. Gronda to continue the grievance procedure up to $3,000.00.

Mr. Henning said the next statement is dated 5/3/85 in the amount
of $970.00. He said this goes back to the initial time the City
heard about the Fair Labor Standards Act and Steve Wood, former
Finance Director, had discussions with the City Manager and was
eventually dismissed. He said there was also a pending sex
discrimination charge by Police Officer Sharon Rabino, which has
since been resolved. He said those three cases totalled the
amount of $970.50 and he recommended payment from the Special
Funds of the City Attorney's office.
Mr. Henning said the last bill outstanding is dated 6/4/85, which
is split between the Pension Board and the City Attorney. He said
the City Attorney's amount would be $655.30 for 4 hours of dis-
cussion and action on a termination hearing for Mr. Wood. He said
Mr. Gronda was called in to handle the case and there was dis-
cussion at a staff meeting of Department Heads concerning the Fair
Labor Standards Act. He said he recommended payment payment of
this ball from the City Attorney's Professional Services.
Mr. Henning said the last item concerns another Associate of that
firm, Gordon Rogers, who specializes in Pension work. He said he
asked him to assist him with the Pension Plan, he attended a few
of the Pension Board meetings and submitted a bill for $1,353.30
dated 6/4/85. He said he does not object if Council desires to
pay this from the City Attorney's fund or it could be assessed
against the Pension Plan.
Mayor Kravitz questioned the third bill dated 6/4/85, concerns two
items, the first of which was for 2 hours for the Steve Wood
termination hearing. He asked if Mr. Henning knows what it cost
the City for that proposed lawsuit and whether the City is being
reimbursed for the expense involved. Mr. Henning said this
concerns a pre -termination meeting with the City Manager. He said
Mr. Gronda was present and Mr. Wood had his attorney present. He
said to some degree Chris Carsky, of Alan Ruf's office, was
involved as well at $65.00 per hour.
Mayor Kravitz said he does not know of any time the Council or the
Pension Board requested the attendance of Gordon Rogers at the
Pension Board meetings. He said there is a Joint Workshop Meeting
scheduled with the City Council and the Pension Board scheduled
for 12/20/85 and he recommended this bill be held until after that
time.
Mr. Henning said he can understand Council not taking action on
that bill until after the meeting. Mr. Henning said for the
record there was no settlement or severence pay given in the
Steve Wood termination. He said Mr. Wood only received his
accrued time and the City merely paid to have the attorneys
represent the City.
C/M Munitz questioned the amount of money in the Account from
which this money is being taken and Acting City Manager Perretti
said that is normally given only on line item transfers.
C/M Stein said since these bills are old and are earned, he MOVED
to pay the 11/11/85 Invoice of $173.60 and the 5/3/85 statement
for $970.50. He said the third bill will be held at this time.
SECONDED by C/M Munitz.
Mr. Henning suggested that Council include in the Motion
authorization for Mr. Gronda to continue representing the City in
the Officer Zaporesky grievance. C/M Stein said he will accept
that as part of the MOTION and C/M Munitz agreed as the SECOND.
