ALSO PRESENT: City Attorney, Jon Henning City Manager, Laura Stuurmans Asst. City Clerk, Carol A. Evans Mayor Falck read the Notice of the Meeting. 1. Discussion and possible action to reinstate the Citizens Advisory Committee for the Community Development Block Grant Program by Temp Reso. #2597. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Temp. Reso. #2597 RESOLUTION # R-r3yZ PASSED. Approved. Jon Henning read the Resolution by title. Councilman Disraelly noted that there has been a change of feeling in the Community Block Grant Development program, and he had re- ceived a telephone call recently indicating that they have now changed the criteria from formerly saying the funds all had to be used within the target areas. There now seems to be a feeling that funds are available for adjacent areas that would implement things within the target areas. Councilman Disraelly said that he was to have a meeting with Richard Rubin, Consultant Planner, on the following Tuesday and also with Alan Poore, the new Director of the project. Councilman Disraelly said it was called to their attention that things can be handled adjacent to the target areas It had been proposed two years ago for that area of the City that is still on septic tanks in Lakes South, the expenditure of $5500. This was proposed to them for the engineering work that would be required to go from the septic tanks in the 72 homes in that area, into positive sewerage through Oakland Park. Councilman Disraelly said the problem is, the City was refused the engineering two years ago. If it is to be implemented, in order to do it they must have participation by a Citizens Advisory Committee. The purpose of the Resolution is purely to establish the Committee so that there will be recognition from citizens of the City that this is a viable thing and they approve it, and the Council should go through the Community Block Grant Development for at least the engineering fees. Th.e engineering fees were $5500. two years ago, and Councilman Disraelly said he did not know how much more. The ultimate cost of the job would be around $50,000. if the work is done and it is approved. Councilman Disraelly said that he is asking that those members who were on the Citizens Advisory Committee for Community Block Grants be reactivated: Florence Bochenek, Philip Solomon, and Raymond Munitz for the term to expire December 31, 1983, and he so MOVED, with the adoption of Temporary Resolution # 2597. Councilman Krantz SECONDED the MOTION. The City Manager, Laura Stuurmans, explained that the Committee had been excused the previous Spring. Now, since there is an optimistic tone, she said they would like to re -seat the former Committee who is familiar with the facts. Councilman Disraelly explained a Meeting will be held to recertify. The City Manager explained the City has to get its application in by February 1, 1983 which is the reason for the Special Meeting. -1- 1/20/83 VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE Vice Mayor Massaro noted that all that has happened at the present time is that they hope to get engineering approval for the engineering work. She commented that presently all of the sewerage treatment is handled by the City's utility, and asked when that portion of the sewerage will be hooked into the County. Mayor Falck estimated it would be by mid -year. Vice Mayor Massaro said she would not like this hooked into Oakland Park. Mayor Falck said the City will have to determine,,based upon the Engineer- ing study, what is best for the people.as to whether or not it is more cost effective to go to Oakland Park. The Mayor explained the engineering fees can be granted so the work can progress and ultimately the determination concerning the hook-up can be made. Vice Mayor Massaro indicated her concern was whether someone else would be in control. Mayor Falck said that the determination will be made after the engineering part, which is essential. He said it will be necessary to determine which way is the best. There was no further discussion.
