I. Bid Award - Tamarac Utilities West -- Temp. Reso. #1850 -
Discussion and possible action to award bid for one used
diesel tractor for Tamarac Utilities.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved with RESOLUTION #R-V-,1 JTPASSED.
word use stricken. Bid awarded
to Heintzelman's Truck Center, Inc.
City Attorney Arthur Birken read Temporary Resolution #1850
by title.
Laura Stuurmans, Acting City Manager, discussed her report and
the recommendation of the City Engineer which had been received
by the Council. She explained the report indicated that the
City Engineer's Department had reviewed the bids and recommended
that the bid be awarded to Heintzelman's Truck Center, Inc. of
Orlando, for a 1979 Ford Diesel Tractor which has not been
previously owned, as she understood it, in the amount of
$33,927.52.
Larry Keating, City Engineer, discussed the vehicles involved
and presented pictures of the vehicles. He noted that three
vehicles were fairly close in value, which were the two Fords
and a 1979 Kenworth which has low mileage on it. Mr. Keating
said his feeling was that the new vehicles stood out from the
used vehicle due to the fact they are new and have new vehicle
warranties. Therefore, the two new vehicles were selected over
the 1979 Kenworth, even though the 1979 Kenworth has low
mileage. If something were to go wrong, it could be expensive.
Further, the Kenworth has a different type of cab which would
not be needed by the Utility.
Mr. Keating explained that the 1979 Ford is $1,000. less than
the 1980 Ford, and the 1979 Ford has greater options than the
1980, including heavy-duty transmission, clutch and brakes.

Also, the 1979 Ford has steel -radial tires which could mean
the City might not ever have to replace those tires during
the period of time they own the truck, which could be a
saving of a couple of thousand dollars. Mr. Keating stated
that the 1979 would be a better resale item and it also has
the Budd wheels which are special wheels, as compared to
standard wheels on the other vehicle. In reply to a question
from Councilman Disraelly, Mr. Keating said the tires would
probably last five years.
Vice Mayor Massaro, questioned that the invitation for bid
indicates the vehicle is used, Mr. Keating explained the
vehicle is untitled. He said they told all prospective
bidders what they were looking for and approximately how
much money the City had to spend on the vehicle, and left
it with the bidders to select the best vehicle that they
had that would meet the City specifications and budget.
Vice Mayor Massaro asked if the vehicle was new or used, Mr.
Keating stated it is a "left over" which is. a new vehicle
that was never sold. It is a previous year model which was
not sold, and the title has never gone to anyone; however, it
may have been used as a demonstrator.
Councilman Zemel said he had advised the Purchasing Agent to
go out for a request for a proposal and not an invitation to
bid. City Attorney Birken stated the Council has the authority
to waive minor modifications and what the City has received is
greater than asked for and he could see no problem that would
preclude Council from taking action if they so desired.
Councilwoman Kelch pointed out the bid is within the authorized
expenditures. Mayor Falck said if it is a new vehicle the year
does not make that much difference, for the purposes of the
City it seems to be a logical vehicle to use. Councilman
Zemel questioned the bid proposal referring to a used vehicle
and asked if the City was legally restrained from buying a
new one. The City Attorney said he did not think there is
a problem.
Vice Mayor Massaro said she preferred to buy a new item, however
she wanted it stated that it is a new item because there are
certain guaranties and expectations involved.
Laura Stuurmans, Acting City Manager, inquired if the vehicle
has the same guaranties as the newer model. Mr. Keating replied
in the affirmative, he said he believed the first 20,000 miles
has 100% guaranty, and first twenty-four months after that is
50-50 on the power train, and it is pro -rated per schedule up
to 100,000 miles,
Councilman Disraelly indicated the stickers on the vehicle
would verify that it was not used, and he felt they would be
getting a better vehicle by getting the 1979 model which is
upgraded.
The City Engineer pointed out that the tractor can be delivered
Monday morning, which would mean the City can terminate its
rental, which would mean a saving of about $400.00 a week.
Vice Mayor Massaro questioned tie bid for the 1977 vehicle
at $15,000. Mr. Keating explained those vehicles were looked
at the last time the City went out for bid, and they are fleet -
returns and extremely well-worn with several hundred thousand
miles on them.
Councilman Disraelly MOVED ADOPTION of Temporary Resolution
#1850 for one (strike the word "used") Diesel Tractor from
Heintzelman's Truck Center, Inc. of Orlando , a 1979 model Ford

Vice Mayor Massaro inquired if the City would receive
something from the Company indicating that this is a new
vehicle. Mayor Falck said the City would like an indica-
tion that would certify as to the mileage on the vehicle
and that would indic4te it is new and not a used vehicle.
The City Attorney explained he knew that when a new car
is purchased the dealer is required to give a statement
to the buyer - and he would assume that would also apply
to a truck - as to the odometer reading being certified.
Mayor Falck stated that as long as the documents are
satisfactory to the City Attorney he will be satisfied.
Councilman Zemel stated he wished the record to reflect
that they have excluded bidders from bidding on a new
vehicle when they specified a used vehicle bid.
2. Discussion and Possible Action for Approval by the Council
to Proceed with Possible Annexation ot two Areas n er
Discussion by the Broward Delt ation.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Council approved
indicating to Broward Delegation .that the
City would be happy to annex into its
area the two parcels in question.
Councilman Disraelly stated they had talked with the people
from Woodglen a couple of years ago with regard to annexa-
tion and also Woodland Villas had come in, and last year
there was a proposal by the State Legislature for definition
of enclaves to come in to cities when surrounded on three
sides by the City and a natural barrier on the fourth side.
It did not pass the State Legislature. This year the Broward
Delegation at its meeting a month ago discussed annexation
as one of its items. Councilman Disraelly said he appeared
at that meeting and indicated to Council that the Broward
Delegation is very interested. Further, Councilman Disraelly
said he would be attending a meeting during the afternoon
and they may come to some resolution as to annexations and
definitions of enclaves, etc.
Councilman Disraelly explained legal descriptions of the two
parcels had been sent to the Delegation - one parcel to the
east and one parcel to the west of Shaker Village, described
as from Shaker Village to Rock Island Road on one side and
from Shaker Village to Bermuda Club on the other side. He
said there may be some action taken very shortly and he
hoped they would have concurrence from Council for these
areas to come into the City.
Councilman Disraelly MOVED that the City would be happy to
annex into its area the two areas just described. One parcel
to the east of Shaker Village and one parcel to the west of
Shaker Village, described as from Shaker Village to Rock
Island Road on the east side and from Shaker Village to Bermuda
Club on the west side. Councilwoman Kelch SECONDED the Motion.
Vice Mayor Massaro noted that it was in the newspaper that
North Lauderdale had recently annexed a parcel on 441:-and it
seemed to her there was a parcel on the south side of Bailey
Road which she felt concerned about because it is the Commercial
area., -She questioned if they had forgotten about that area
which has not been annexed into the City and which is the
squaring off of the City's boundaries.

Mayor Falck commented there would need to be a great deal
of discussion before they could get involved in that. He
noted a survey of the tax structure in that area showed the
places were not carrying themselves at all.
Vice Mayor Massaro said she just wanted to bring it to the
attention of Council since they may have to address it.
Councilwoman Kelch said she recalled there was a general
concensus of opinion regarding Mr. Hester's suggestion and
she did not think anyone on the Council at that time took any
exception to any parcel since it was felt the idea hampering
annexation was liking one thing and not liking another, and
the Council did not take that attitude and was in total accord
on squaring the boundary, and if this comes up the record would
show they did agree to Mr. Hester's general plan and to the
general plan of the surrounding areas.
Councilman Disraelly commented the reason the other area has
not been discussed is that this started with the Enclave Bill
and that is all they discussed at that time. Mayor Kraft had
proposed, at that meeting, that all unincorporated areas be
brought into the nearest contiguous city and the delegation
didn't look upon that too favorably, Councilman Disraelly
added. However, at this particular time the delegation is
mostly considerinz enclaves.
Councilwoman Kelch stated that the City of Tamarac is interested
in the general welfare of the community.
Vice Mayor Massaro noted that the portion not desirable is
Pompano Park, beyond that is a commercial area which the City
has wanted. The Vice Mayor said she thought that area has
already been annexed, and she felt the City Attorney should
look into that and find out if this is the case because the City
should know if and when it was annexed and whether or not they
had a right to annex that commercial. property.
Mayor Falk pointed out that another problem is the maintenance
of the tecreation area which is very expensive and the hall is
continually vandalized. The Mayor discussed other problems in
the recreation area, he said he felt they should be aware of
these matters should the question come up in the future.

Vice Mayor Massaro inquired who would pay the expenses involved.
Mayor Falck replied most of the expenses would be taken care of
by the State, and what is not will be taken care of by him
personally, but that would be very minimum. The Vice Mayor said
she did not think those should be taken care of by him personally,

and she was asking because she felt there had been careless-
ness in the purchase of airline tickets and she thought it
should be looked into. Mayor Falck explained he handles
the ticket purchases personally. Councilman Zemel indicated
he felt that should be part of the expense account.
There was no further business.
