Leslie Robert Evans, 'of Arky, Freed, Stearns, Watson, Greer,
and Weaver, P.A., representing Florida National Bank and
O.R.E.O., Inc., the successor developer of the Developers
Agreement between Behring. Corporation and Tamarac Utilities,
Inc., said the bank had made a loan to the prior developers
and took back the deed when the developer defaulted. He said
the bank did not know then that there was an amount due and
would now like to rectify the bill on this property. He said
the present agreement calls for approximately $18,000.00 in
arrearages and an additional $25,000.00 for hook-up charges
which his client is willing to pay immediately. He said he
has received a bill, postmarked October 23, 1985, the date of
the previous Council meeting at which the agreement was
terminated. He said he spoke to Mr. Henning earlier in the
week and was not informed that this would be on the agenda.

He said he now has a purchaser and hopes the Council will
reconsider the development agreement and reinstate it.
C/M Stein said V/M Massaro said this agreement has been in
default for some time.
Mr. Henning said the guaranteed revenues were in arrears
approximately one year and the contract had changed hands a
number of times and the owner was not known to the City. He
said the original contract with Schmidt Industries was
recorded in 1969 and referenced Exhibit D, paragraph 3,
regarding guaranteed revenues which states that failure to
pay within fifteen days of being invoiced shall be considered
a default of the agreement.
V/M Massaro asked if readdressing this subject will have any
effect on the project.
Mr. Henning said V/M Massaro is reserving any reconsideration
to a later date and review the site plan with the latest
developers.
V/M Massaro said she would like to see a complete overview of
this project.
Mr. Henning said this project involves approximately 63
single family homes and the impact on the developer would be
approximately $1,000.00 per lot. He asked Mr. Evans for his
closing date.
Mr. Evans said the zoning is already set and said his client
would like to continue working with the City and make the
payments. He said closing is scheduled no later than
November 10, 1985.
Mr. Henning said he questions whether Council action was
necessary, based on the language of automatically rescinding
the capacity in the old agreement.
Mayor Kravitz said he will not take action until he
researches this project.
Mr. Evans asked if a final decision could be made on November
13th and asked if the developer wished to close, can the
$1,500.00 per lot be paid reserving any other rights his
client has.
V/M Massaro said she feels a decision can be made at the next
meeting.
Mr. Henning said the payment must be accompanied by an
agreement that Council has approved.
V/M Massaro MOVED that Council will not reconsider this
subject today. SECONDED by C/M Stein.

Plan affects insurance payments and other benefit options for

requested the Benefit Option Plan be reconsidered and acted
on today. He recommended approval of this item.
City Attorney, Jon Henning, explained that the Benefit Option
Plan is a $1,000.00 credit to each employee which may be

Dependent Health and Disability there was a concern of
employee coverage if the premiums lapse.
