OPEN PUBLIC FORUM
2. OPEN PUBLIC FORUM
Vickie Beech, Resident at 9102 NW 67 Court, asked Mayor
Abramowitz if there was any progress on the
Greenview/Cardinal Industries development. She asked who
was responsible for aggregating the residents' rights in
allowing this type of development.
Mayor Abramowitz said it was very difficult to comment on
this matter. He said on November 6, 1986, the City won
Case #72-11731 in the Circuit Court. He said this was
the first time that the City won litigation against
Cardinal Industries; however, on November 26, 1986, an
Agreement was made between Cardinal Industries and the
City for a settlement by Resolution R-86--433.
Mayor Abramowitz said there were 26 Stipulations attached
to the Litigation and he and the City Attorney reviewed
the Stipulations for 2-1/2 days. He said the
Stipulations did not apply to the Litigation.
Mayor Abramowitz said he would see that every piece of
evidence would be available to the residents when they
became available. He said there were certain facts that
he was investigating such as the size of the module homes
being in violation of the City's Code.
Mayor Abramowitz said there were Resolutions and Laws
being investigated that were effective approximately 5
years ago which may pertain to this matter. He said he
did not want to state things on this Case that were not
factual.
Mayor Abramowitz said Community Development submitted
information at the beginning of the meeting which
pertained to events on this Case that occurred
approximately 5 years ago. He said he was not trying to
avoid Mrs. Beech's concerns; however, he was being very
careful in explaining the matter.
Mayor Abramowitz said he was concerned as to why the City
signed a settlement with Cardinal Industries after the
City won the Case in the Circuit Court. He said the
settlement was signed before Cardinal Industries Appealed
the Court's decision. He said he wanted to investigate
this matter further before commenting on this matter.
Mayor Abramowitz said as soon as factual information was
available, he would see that the information was
available for the residents and, if needed, a Special
Meeting would be called.
Melanie Reynolds, Resident of Sands Point, said after
reading the Personnel Manual, she found that promotions
were based on education, experience and past performance.
She said the most Senior in length of service should be
promoted and she asked why the Building and Planning
Page 5
12/14/88
TAPE 2
Departments promoted the newest people. She asked why
Irene Adams was not promoted as well as the Senior
employees in the Building Department.
City Manager Kelly said when Mrs. Reynolds became a Legal
Relations Attorney for the employees and represented them
at their request, he would discuss the matter with her.
He said at this time discussion on this matter was
inappropriate and, if Irene Adams wanted to discuss this
matter, it should be brought tD the attention of the
Administration.
Mrs. Reynolds said City Manager Kelly's comments were not
appropriate because she was representing herself as
opposed to the employees.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if Mrs. Reynolds was before the
City Council on -behalf of Irene Adams and Mrs. Reynolds
replied, no -
Mrs. Reynolds said when C/M Hoffman reported to Zeke
Feldman, Charter Board member, regarding V/M Stelzer
charging meals to the City, she reviewed the vouchers and
she found that C/M Bender and C/M Rohr ate 8 meals,
whereas, V/M Stelzer and C/M Hoffman ate 9 meals. She
said she could not understand why this matter was brought
up because it was false and a very minor matter.
C/M Hoffman said he did not bring the matter to Zeke
Feldman and he was not aware of how many meals were
taken. He said this discussion was creating a matter
that was not important.
Mrs. Reynolds said there was an Article in the newspaper
regarding Dempsey Baron knowing the rules and playing by
them. She suggested that the City Council do the same.
Sam Nadan, Resident at 8301 Sands Point Boulevard, said
he read an Article in the newspaper which indicated that
Mayor Abramowitz would like to have Representative Ben
Graber and Congressman Johnson as tenants in City Hall.
He said the rights were granted to these Representatives
by the City Charter and he challenged the authority of
the City Council to rent out any part of the City Hall to
anyone. He said Representative Graber was involved in
several matters and there were picketers at his offices.
He said he would be ashamed if the City Hall was picketed
and the residents were being forced to stay out. He
asked that the City Council consider this matter before
renting the space in City 'Ralf.
Mr. Nadan said he understood that the City Council found
a surplus of 1.5 million dollars in the Utilities
Department and would be using it by transferring it to
the General Fund.
Mayor Abramowitz said this was an incorrect statement.
Thomas Poster, Resident at 4705 NW 47 Avenue, had
concerns with being charged for utility bills when he was
not utilizing these services.
Mayor Abramowitz said the services are provided to'the
residents and there was a minimum fee for the services.
He said he would discuss this matter with the City
Manager and sere if the charge was a requirement.

Norman Peck, Resident of Faircrest 14, asked if there
would be a stop sign placed on 71 Street and 70 Avenue.
Mayor Abramowitz asked Mr. Peck to submit a letter to the
City Council on this matter so that it could be properly
investigated and answered.
REPORTS
3. City Council Reports
C/M Hoffman reported that the Sign Ordinance Task Force
Committee has met several times. He said he requested
that staff obtain the Sign Ordinances from the
surrounding Cities, review them and report back to the
Task Force Committee with the best provisions. He said
the City Council should be in the position to call
Special meetings for the Sign Ordinance in February,
1989. He said the Ordinance would be very workable and
enforceable as well as an asset to all involved.
Mayor Abramowitz said he was pleased with this Report
because the Sign Ordinance Task Force was created to
assist in creating an Ordinance that would avoid the City
from looking like the area of State Road 7, South.
C/M Rohr reported on his trip to Kfar Sava, Israel.
(SEE ATTACHMENT)
C/M Rohr said there were several things he was allowed to
do such as visiting the Army Government Base. He said
there were no problems with the visit to Israel and he
said the residents should not be afraid to visit the
Country.
At this time, C/M Rohr presented a Plate from the Mayor
of Kfar Sava, Israel, commemorating their 25th
Anniversary to Mayor Abramowitz for display in City Hall.
C/M Bender - No report.
Mayor Abramowitz reported that he received several letters
regarding the Social Services Board's assistance to the
residents. He said the Social Services Office was open
every day that City Hall was open and he thanked them for
their assistance and service to the residents.
Mayor Abramowitz said there was an Article in the
newspaper regarding a new road connecting Commercial
Boulevard and 44th Street. He said the road would be
64th Avenue and half of the property belonged to Tamarac
and the other half belonged to the City of Lauderhill.
He said the road has been on the County's map for several
years; however, Tamarac had no need for the road.
Mayor Abramowitz said Tamarac would have to pay for half
of the road regardless of the use; therefore, the City of
Lauderhill found that the road was needed. He said he
and the City of Lauderhill's Mayor, Ilene Lieberman,
negotiated a donation of $20,000.00 from the United
Artists to place a street light on 79th Street.
Mayor Abramowitz said the Cities of Lauderhill and
Tamarac submitted a Delegation Request to Broward County
for removal of Tamarac's portion of 64th Avenue. He said
as long as the road was on the County's map, the County
could request Tamarac to construct and pay for the road.
He said the Delegation Request asked that Tamarac be
Page 7
12/14/88
relieved from having the responsibility for the road's
construction. He said the outcome of the Delegation
Request would be reported to the residents as soon as the
information was available.
C/M Rohr reported that the Tamarac Jewish Center
sponsored and established a Tamarac park land in Israel.
He said trees were bought and planted in Israel. He said
anyone interested in having trees planted should contact
him for the necessary forms. ,
C/M Rohr said Mr. Guberman did a fabulous job in
coordinating the trip and he thanked Mr. Guberman for
such a good job.

Mike Von Hofen, Assistant City Planner, said at the

approved and there was an Agreement that all of the
documents would be completed by December 15, 1988;
however, Dan Handler, Developer for the project,
submitted a letter on December 6, 1988 which requested an
extension due to the magnitude of paperwork involved in
the transaction. He said Mr. Handler asked that there be
an extension given until January 6, 1989.
Mayor Abramowitz asked if January 6, 1989 would be a
sufficient extension.
Dan Handler, Developer, said there have been problems
with getting the appropriate documents and procedures
gathered.
Mayor Abramowitz said he did -not want to grant an
extension until January 6, 1989 and have to grant another
extension on January 6, 1989. He asked if Mr. Handler
felt that the closing would take place on or before
January 6, 1989. He said if January 6, 1989 was not
sufficient time, he suggested that the extension be given
until January 15, 1989.
Mr. Handler said he would like the extension until

Mayor Abramowitz asked if the City Attorney wanted to
comment on the matter and City Attorney Doody said he
agreed that a safe closing date be given for the
extension.
City Attorney Doody said he was concerned with the
Agreements being held in escrow and would like the matter
cleared up to avoid confusion with the documents.

Joseph McIntosh, Police Chief, said the Rule of Discovery
under the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure was a
nightmare to law enforcement because it allows the
defense attorneys and the defendants to obtain all of the
information against them accumulated in the
investigation.
Chief McIntosh said the Rule of Discovery was costing the
Cities and Counties several dollars in Police overtime
and also affected the on -duty Police Officers because
they are required to appear for the depositions. He said
modification to this law was needed and the State
Legislature was being urged to make the modifications.
He said if the modifications are not made a repeal of the
law would be requested. He said several Cities were
participating in the request for modification and he
recommended that this Item be approved.
City Manager Kelly read from the memorandum submitted by
Chief McIntosh which indicated that if a Police Officer
rode by the scene of a crime, they were asked to give a
deposition even though the Police Officer had no facts
pertaining to the crime. He said if the Police Officer
Page 11

was not on duty at the time of the deposition, the City
was required to pay the Police Officer, which was
approximately $60.00. He said Chief McIntosh was asking
for the approval of a Resolution and Chief McIntosh was
elected by his peers to be the Head of the Police
Association of Broward County. He said the ceremony for
this position would be held in January, 1989, and the
TAPE 3 City Council could be very honored for this appointment.

City Manager Kelly said negotiations with the Fraternal
Order of Police (FOP) have been completed. He said the
Contract included $95,000.00 for benefits. He said the
new Contract would be effective from October 1, 1988 to
September 30, 1989. He said there were two Corporals,
Police Officers and Police Sergeants recognized as part
of the Bargaining Unit. He said there were 6 Lieutenants
that would no longer be part of the
Supervisory/Managerial staff under the terms in the
Personnel Manual; however, they have formed their own
Union and the Contract was presently pending negotiations
with the City.
City Manager Kelly said the Bargaining Union made
adjustments to individual wages by eliminating the step
plan. He said the Contract provided a 2% increase in
assignment pay and the starting salary for a Police
Officer would remain at $22,910.37 and, upon completion
of 5--years of service, the top salary for a Police
Officer would be $32,710.61. He said there were new
provisions for Longevity pay, overtime and off -duty
detail.
City Manager Kelly complimented the Representatives of
the Bargaining Unit for their time in the negotiations.
He said the Fraternal Order of Police donated a Christmas
Tree to the City which was placed in the atrium of City
Hall and the City asked the students from the After
School Program to decorate the tree. He recommended this
Contract be approved.

rTh* City of Kfar Sava is located in the soatbus Sharon area and is the
administrative, educational and cultural center of the entire region.
Kfar Sava's roots are very ancient; it is mentioned in the Talmud, that
is, over 2000 years ago._The new Kfar Sava started in the year 1903 when
the first of the pioneers came here to build.
The local people suffered greatly during that period, and over the
years, both from Arab neighbors and from the Turkish Empire, the settle-
ment was destroyed several times. But the stubbornness, courage and be-
lief in settling the country gave the settlers the strength to return
and rebuild.
From the time of the War of independence in 1948 until the Six Day War
in 1967 Kfar Sava was a border town, located on the Jordanian border.
This, of course, greatly influenced its rate of development. The incen-
tive to develop and to build came after the Six Day War.
Today Kfar Sava's population is about RO,600, one third of which is un-
der the age of 18. The rapid growth of the city is characterised by its
many young families, who came to live hear after hearing about the
eity's educational and cultural systems and its high standard of living.
We place great emphasis on the development of our -educational system, as
this is where we see our future.
Kfar Sava has a large and luxurious cultural center.which satisfies the
cultural needs of a large section of the population in all fieldss mu-
sic, theater, dance and a library.
We also house national institutions in Kfar Sava: the district court,
tax authorities, National insurance Institute, and a large medical cen-

strong for many years, and are expressed through the exchange of delega-

City Council, which discussed your request for a friendship pact with
us, has requested additional information so that the discussion will be
complete. We were therefore very pleased with the visit of your delega-

We are presently preparing for municipal elections, which will be held
at the end of February 1980. It seems to me that the decision to broaden
our relationship will be made after the elections.
