Mr. Birken said that Council has all the information requested and

accept the offer of easement and option; the option itself would be
exercised only if the trailer was not removed within a certain amount
of time. Mr. Birken then read the Resolution by title.
C/M Disraelly asked how this ties in with the copy of easement received
this morning and Mr. Birken replied that at the last Council meeting
a copy of the easement and option agreement was presented. The sketch
was missing and that was handed out; the verbiage was given to Council
about two weeks ago.

Mr. Gross said it was an honor for him to present this award which is
dictated by the employees; this man has worked with him personally
many years and has done a good job in Utilities West and hopes he will
continue working for the City many years. He feels this man will move
forward to a much higher position than he now holds because he wants
to and has the ability. He named Lonnie Scott and presented him with
a Certificate of Appreciation, dinner for two at Triggs Restaurant
and advised Mr. Scott that his name will be engraved on the Plaque
which remains on the wall of City Hall.
Mr. Lonnie Scott said this is the first time he has ever been at a loss

each and every one.

that a child could open this up and fall into it. He suggested that

which the cost is $2000.00 per year or more and, therefore, we must
go for bid on these uniforms; C/M Disraelly has brought to his

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: $225 trans -to Capital Office Furniture.
Mr. Gross stated that he believes this is self-explanatory in view of
the documents in Council's possession and he indicated that this was
an error on his part because he did not notice it when the purchase
requisition came through that it was charged to another account
originally; this is a Capital item and he asked that this item be
removed.
C/M Disraelly MOVED that $225.00 from line item account No.1-218-521-
306 of the budget named Special Police Supplies be transferred to
line item account number 1-218-521-642 named Capital -Office Furniture.

$2,839.10 prior to the transfer and $2,614.10 subsequent to the
transfer. The amount of money in the account to which the monies are
to be transferred was $0 prior to the transfer and $225.00 subsequent

/pe
C/M Zemel stated that he thinks there should be some hesitation before
buying $225.00 chairs.
V/M Massaro asked if this item was within the budget originally and
Mr. Gross replied, "No, originally it was recommended that some items
were to be taken from Tamarac Utilities and transfer them over to
that department; unfortunately, they did not have a chair there."
V/M Massaro asked if this chair has been bought? Mr. Gross replied
that it had been bought.
V/M Massaro then asked why it was bought if it wasn't budgeted for
and inquired as to who had the authority to purchase this chair.
Mr. Gross said that no-one was authorized and he takes full respon-
sibility for the fact that this got past his office.

11. Pine Island Road and N.W. 57th Street - Discussion and possible
action concerning closing 57th Street at Pine Island Road
_..------ (8 8 th Avenue)_.._ ...
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Concept of closing
approved subject to review of final
plans for the closing structures.
Mayor Falck reported that he received a telephone call from Mr. Ray
Munitz, President of Section 12 stating that he would like to have a
public hearing on this item for his people. Mr. Munitz indicated
that he is in favor of this closing since there have been so many
accidents and felt his people in Section 12 would benefit from this
action. The Mayor further stated that he doesn't know what good a
public hearing would be.
V/M Massaro said that the fact that it was agendized and no-one from
the public appeared, means that there couldn't have been that much
concern. She wanted to explain the hazards at this inter -section and
doesn't feel this should be delayed any longer, nor does she see the
need for a public hearing as the people will not be inconvenienced
to any great extent.
V/M Massaro MOVED the approval of the concept of the closing of 57th
Street and Pine Island Road subject to review of the final plans for
the closing structures.
C/M Disraelly SECONDED the motion.
C/M Disraelly said this design is far superior to the one at University
Drive because this will direct traffic to the right only and it pro-
vides for a turn -around or U-turn with safety.
Mr. Arthur Birken, City Attorney suggested the verbiage for the above
motion indicating that this would be helpful from a liability stand-
point in case of an accident.
C/M Disraelly mentioned that the County should reinstate the left
turn light on Commercial Boulevard because until they do, there will
be accidents occurring even though they have indicated there isn't
enough traffic flow to warrant a light at this time.
Mr. Gross reported that the County will be putting in this light by
Monday.

Approved. RESOLUTION NO.R $Q , ,5f�PASSED
Mr. Arthur Birken read Temp. Reso. #1803 by title and changed the
word "to" the Florida Legislature to "of" the Florida Legislature.
C/M Disraelly said that Judge Hastings has from time to time indicated
.t he p r_ o b 1 e m with juveniles and how unhappy he has been with
the situation that prevailed whereby juveniles were being sent to
0 keechbbee because there was no room and then they were released. C/M
Disraelly further said that when the 409 law was passed,things became
worse,and he is happy to see that we are at least requesting the
Florida Broward Delegation to improve conditions.
C/M Disraelly MOVED the adoption of Temporary Resolution #1803, and
C/W Kelch SECONDED the motion.
Mr. Gross reported that he has been working on this item county -wide
for about six months; this law has completely tied the hands of the
courts and the Police Department. He said under this law a juvenile
cannot be incarcerated at any time except for murder and a judge can
no longer sentence that juvenile -- run -away juveniles have to be
given back to the home and released to the parents -- he has letters
from 8 of our County legislators who have all agreed that they will
work very hard to have 409 repealed.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.
15. Auto Ins ection Stations - Hours of O eration - Temp. Reso._ _#_1804 -

private inspection stations which will be opening up shortly.
(Tapeside
#Z) Mayor Falck said he thinks the Resolution is drafted properly and this
should be called to the Governor's attention. The Mayor's comment was
due to a discussion by Council as to whether the Resolution should be
sent to.B-roward County or to Governor Graham.
C/M Disraelly MOVED the adoption of Temporary Resolution #1804 and
C/W Kelch SECONDED the motion.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.

cerning an extension of a bond posted to guarantee correction of
certain work.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Letter to be sent
to Mr. Hahn asking for request for
bond extension by Dec. 30th or bond
will be called.
V/M Massaro stated that there has been some very important work done
and she doesn't see any reason for them not to continue.
-6- December 24, 1980

Mr. Birken indicated that Mr. Hann hasn't been able to be reached and
Ms. Carol Evans said that she hasn't been able to contact Mr. Charlie
Petrozella.
Mr. Birken said if a written request is not received from them to extend
it, it will have to be called.
V/M Massaro MOVED that the letter be sent to Mr. Hahn with a copy to Mr,
Charlie Petrozella indicating that if the request for the bond extension
is not received by December 30th, that the bond would be called; other-
wise the bond will be extended for another 30 days because the items

a) Site Plan
- Discussion and possible
Federal Savings
V/M Massaro said there was a 4' sidewalk indicated on 57th Street, but
the Engineering Department is requiring a 5' sidewalk, which is what
Duft's is putting in, and our ordinance does require 50 on that width
of street; it will be subject to further corrections as far as the
estimated cost and fees are concerned. She also discussed with the
engineer this morning the catch basin that is indicated on the engineer-
ing drawings; they still do not indicate any means of picking up the
drainage that will result in the swale at 57th street. She further
indicated that there is very little drainage and it would be desirable
to have some drainage within the driveways. She said Mr. Keating
indicated it wou.id be desirable to have right in the bottom of the
slope, a new form of grating installed with a stub line that will go to
the 15" line that goes through to the south to pick up the drainage at
Commercial Boulevard.
C/M Disraelly asked if this would be tied into the catch basins to be
constructed in the north and south driveways?
V/m Massaro said, "yes", that there is a catch basin at the east end
and one at the west end and they are approximately 30� in and it would
stub in from there to that catch basin to the line that is a i5" line.
Mr. Frank Perez, architect on the project presented the plans and he
indicated that the edge of the pavement is a high point and felt it
would drain down. V/M Massaro pointed out on the plans exactly what
was needed and said Mr. Keating would be able to discuss it with him.
Mr. Perez stated that they made ail the revisions that were requested
by the Engineering Department and V/M Massaro indicated that this was
over -looked and that the people would not be able to get through if
water is standing there.
V/M Massaro snowed Mr. Perez where this should be corrected on the plans
and told him it would be his responsibility to maintain that, as the
City cannot be involved with maintenance.
-7- December 24, 1980

V/M Massaro reported that the 5' sidewalk will affect the estimated
cost and there will also be additional cost of the drainage facilities
for the two driveways and also indicated to Mr. Cross that there has
to be a review and amendment to the estimated cost on the lines that
run through there; the plans indicate 15" and our plans said 12" and
she said she didn't find the $500.00 for the ret-iew of the engineer-
ing and asked Mr. Cross to check on this.
C/M Disraelly asked Mr. Cross if there will be a curb on 57th Street
on the south side and if therg will be curbing on the swale area? Mr.
Cross stated that this is correct.
C/M Disraelly asked how the water was going to get out between the
curb and the sidewalk?
Mr. Perez indicated that the water will just seep down into the ground
water and C/M Disraelly asked him if the percolation was good enough?
V/M Massaro stated that they are providing 1" of percolation.
C/M Disraelly suggested that on the N.E. corner a sign should be erected
saying, "Do not Enter" and asked Mr. Perez to mark this on his site
plan; also the same sign to be erected on the west side.
C/M Disraelly asked if they were provided with the necessary documents
for the access to this property from Duffs? Mr. Perez indicated that
they had a Letter of Agreement from the parties.
C/M Disraelly asked if there can be two-way traffic at this corner
without Duff's site plan?
Mr. Birken said he doesn't see any problem with that as long as it is
understood that Duff's has to get the site plan revised.
V/M Massaro MOVED the approval of the site plan subject to the sidewalk
on 57th Street being 5' wide and that there be drainage provided in the
low point of the driveways stubbed into the 15" line which will connect
to the Commercial Boulevard drainage system and also that on the east
driveway a "One Way" and a "Do Not Enter" sign be placed as this is only
one way going out, and at the west end a "Do Not Enter" sign also be
placed in the appropriate location and that it is also subject to revised
estimated cost and a revision of the estimated fees and that the develop-
ment review requirements appear to have been satisfied.
C/M Disraelly SECONDED the motion.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.
V/M Massaro further MOVED that the applicant be fully aware that even
though the drainage at the low point of the driveway is within the
public right-of-way and is picking up the water from the road, the
owner is responsible for the maintenance of this mini -catch basin and
the stub line and the City will not be responsible for maintaining it.
Mr. Perez said he found this agreeable.

REPORTS
22. City Council Reports
C/M Zemel reported on the blasting in Coral Springs at the Coral Ridge
Properties and stated that instead of alleviating itselt, the situation
is becoming worse and the blasting is coming closer to the Sections of
Tamarac 23, 24 and Spring Lake. He insisted Mr. Maurer, who is the
Chief zoning Official, send -his blasting inspector, Mr. Bauman, out for
the second time and the representative of Hercules Powder Company was
there too. They had 63 holes drilled for 63 sticks of dynamite and
C/M Zemel pushed the plunger; thousands of tons of earth moved, but he
felt nothing. They then drove to Section 24 of Tamarac and started
knocking on doors and the people indicated that they had felt the effects
of the blasting. They then went to the home of Mr.Kumerow, who has a
seismograph in his garage, but the blasting inspector said it was within
the County limits. He then asked his daughter at his house about the
blast and she indicated the baby was terribly frightened. The insurance
companies are paying off due to the shocks from dynamiting.
-12- December 24, 1980
/Pe
C/M Zemel said a seismograph was put into his garage about 10 days
ago. He received a phone call from Mr. Maurer who said that reports
were being written to the County Commission, especially to Commissioner
Forman and Commissioner Craft and Ms. Anne Kolb and they were ordering
the blasting individual as of this past Monday to reduce the number of
dynamite sticks being used. If that didn't alleviate the problem, they
would order them to further restrict the number of dyanamite sticks
they were using; if that didn't help, they were going to order them to
cease dynamiting entirely. The County indicated that if they were
sued by the blasting company, the County would be prepared for it.
The blasting this week occurred between 3:30 and 4:30 and the blasts
were still pretty bad; he will continue working on this problem so
that the people in Sections 23, 24 and Springlakes will no longer have
this problem.
Mayor Falck mentioned that at the City Commission meeting yesterday, Mr.
Birken spoke to the attorney about this matter and Mr. Birken said
Milledge and Hermelee represent the rock pit operators and there has
been a tremendous amount of money spent for experts to try and determine
who is causing this damage in Dade County where there is blasting and
the attorney suggested that Tamarac talk to some experts and they could
provide us with names of engineers or firms who are involved in this
and he made two suggestions which he thought might help right away--
1) Dynamite should not be used, but plastics could be used as shock
waves are less severe than with dynamite, 2) If the timing is calculated
properly, the waves could be less forceful.
C/M Zemel said the 63 sticks of dynamite that went off when he pushed
the plunger were separated by micro -seconds, but it sounded like one
blast; he said just the fuse itself was very noisy. He said he has
reports from the top man in the country on this problem in the Broward
County area and he indicated the blasts are in accordance with the
regulations and the County ordinance standards, so there is a problem
there as well.
Mr. Birken said even if it is in accordance with the regulations, it
could be a nuisance, and there may be avenues that could be explored.
C/M Zemel added that the drainage project is going along beautifully
and the people are contented and happy.

Building Official was made for a six months probationary period which

ment head or supervisory employee rather than just the Chief Building

we should extend it for six months for all those people."

improved measurably and with the augmentation there should be a
tremendous difference; the retention that has been added throughout
the City has taken care of the many storms and she has been pleased
with the results. She hasn't had one complaint from the people and
that is unusual. She then asked C/M Zemel how he felt and he replied
that he didn't think there would be any problems.
C/W Kelch stated that the PIC Committee is in the most Doyous position
of announcing that new photographs have been taken and considerable
up -dating of the Tamarac Showcase has taken place; it will be great
and appearances will be made after the 1st of the year. Work is pro-
ceeding nicely on new pamphlets which are being substituted for "This
is Tamarac" and she is most grateful to this committee for accomplishing
all these things.
V/M Massaro suggested that it be presented to Council first before taking
bookings, and C/W Kelch said that is exactly what is planned.
Mayor Falck extended thanks to the City Manager, as this will be his
last regular meeting and wished him well in whatever endeavor he
undertakes; Council applauded and all wished him well.
There is also the matter of his severance relating to sick leave, etc.
He said that the Chair is open to suggestions.
V/M Massaro said she believes the Mayor should review the matter and
send a memorandum to Council,; if the Council has a difference of opinion,
they will express it, otherwise this can be acted upon.
C/W Kelch asked if this is satisfactory with the City Attorney.
Mr. Bi,rken said it is not a legal question; it is administrative.
Mayor Falck.said he spent time with the City Manager and with our
auditors reviewing the drafts of the management letter and the audit
report for the fiscal year ending September 30,1980.He has scheduled a
hearing on this particular item for the second meeting in January --
all of the forms will be delivered to Council sometime the first of
next week so it can be reviewed prior to discussing it with Mr.
Emmer. Mayor Falck said there is absolutely no comparision between the
audit that was performed on the fiscal year ending September 30th, 1980
as compared with the audit for September 30th, 1979. The relationship
with the auditors has improved; he was kept informed and contacted on
a regular basis by Mr. Emmer, by Mr. Sanchez and by the other Mr.
Sanchez who came in periodically to give him a status report and the
audit in general is a very satisfactory one. He said that last year he
was very critical, as was the City Manager and thinks Council will like
what they see.
Mayor Falck said Mrs. Taylor sent a communication to Council dated
September ;23rd in connection with getting an inventory of volunteers
in connection with some of the Social Services work; he feels she is to
be commended for getting this together and it will be distributed
through the president of each of the sections.
