He said he would like the City Council to indicate where the signage should be. Mayor Abramowitz said the Department of Transportation indicated only two Cities would be listed at each exit. He said the City of Lauderhill already had signs at this location and they were trying to get their signage moved.

C/M Rohr said he received information regarding the boring that occurred at the Police Facility. Mayor Abramowitz said he refused to sign the check. He said he was informed that there would be two letters submitted, one from Construction Management Services, Inc., and the other from the Architects. He said the information C/M Rohr received was erroneous and he informed everyone that he would not accept a verbal explanation. V/M Bender said the borings were done in 1984, and Construction Management Services, Inc., knew nothing about them. He said all of the documents indicated "location (as shown on the plans)"; however, the plans were not available. He said there was no way of knowing where the holes were actually drilled. 1 IJ 1 Page 2 6/23/89 V/M Bender said Construction Management Services, Inc., indicated that the Architect, who at that time was Miller and Meier, gave instructions. He said he wanted to know where the instructions to drill were located. He said if the drilling occurred under the structure, the City had no recourse, Mayor Abramowitz said he recently requested a written statement from the two agencies and V/M Bender said Construction Management Services, Inc., indicated that the borings occurred before Construction Management Services, Inc., took over the project. Mayor Abramowitz said because of the letter submitted by Construction Management Services, Inc., he would not sign the check. He said because the check was not signed, the Police Facility would not be ready. C/M Hoffman asked what Mayor Abramowitz meant by the Police Facility not being ready and Mayor Abramowitz said the City would receive a Certificate of Occupancy. He said the Contractor would not continue working until he was paid. Mayor Abramowitz said when he read the letter, he refused to sign the payment documents because the letter indicated that the complete parcel was covered by rock which was not correct. He said Reports would be received from the Architect and Construction Management Services, Inc. V/M Bender said the Reports did not indicate where the drilling locations were. He said he found that the plans were.not available in the City; however, he wanted to krc,; if the drillings were done in the appropriate area. C/M Rok.• had concerns with the difference in the boring locations and Mayor Abramowitz said the Engineer indicated that the boring could have been done by the ^at never connected with the rock. Mayor Abramowitz said the City Council should wait until the Reports were submitted. City Attorney Doody said a member of the City Council requested that an Item be placed on the dune 28, 1989 City Council Agenda eliminating the night meetings. He asked if this matter should be scheduled for discussion or should the appropriate legislation be drafted. C/M Hoffman said a Resolution should be drafted and C/M Stelzer said the City Council expressed their interest at the June 12, 1989 Special City Council meeting. City Attorney Doody said the City Code indicated that the Council meetings would be said he would investigate at 9:01 A.M. this matter to and 1:11 P.M. He see if it was appropriate; however, the City Code in his office was kept current.
