Kravitz called the meeting to order on Monday, September 30, 1985, at 6:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers. ROLL CALL: PRESENT: ALSO PRESENT: Mayor Philip B. Kravitz Vice Mayor Helen Massaro Councilman Arthur H. Gottesman Councilman Raymond J. Munitz Councilman Sydney M. Stein Larry Perretti, Acting City Manager Jon M. Henning, City Attorney Carol E. Barbuto, Assistant City Clerk Patricia Marcurio, Secretary MEDITATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Mayor Kravitz called for a Moment of Silent Meditation followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Mayor Kravitz noted that Council worked with the Acting Citv Manager to cut the budget as much as possible without jeopardizing services to the City residents. Acting City Manager Perretti said at the first budget hearing he stated that all additional department manpower and capital improvement requests were denied. He said this is difficult for the Department Heads because it is difficult to handle problems when understaffed. He said after the first public hearing, he and the Finance Director made several cuts in personnel and other line items curtailing any road resurfacing, new police vehicles, new fire engines and many other areas in an attempt to lower the millage rate to $2.71 per $1,000.00 or a $.23 increase or a 9.3% increase over last year. Mr. Perretti read his memo to Council and residents dated 9/27/85 concerning the proposed budget for FY 85/86 (See Attachment 1). Mr. Perretti said the budget for FY 84/85, which is completed tonight, was $10,094,595.00. He said the proposed budget by the staff was $12,011,174.00 and he recommended a budget for FY 85/86 to be $10,037,999.00, which was a decrease of last year's $10,094,595.00. 1. Final Millage Rate - Temp. Reso. #3785 - Discussion and possible action to ratify Resolution 85-288 and confirming the final millage rate for the City of Tamarac for Fiscal Year 1985/86 at 2.85 mills ($2.85 per one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) assessed valuation). SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Discussed. For action, See Pages 4, 5, 6 & 7 Mr. Henning read Temp_.__Reso_. #3785 by title. Mr. Henning advised Council that the vote on this millage rate should be the first vote taken tonight. Mayor Kravitz said he will call each item as it is on the agenda, Council may make their comments; however, before each item is voted on, the public hearing will be held on each item. 1 9/30/85 /pm V/M Massaro said the Acting City Manager must have determined that there was going to be a hold on the City Hall Complex, which consists of the City Hall and the Police Facility. She urged Council to consider the Police Facility regardless of the fact that the City Hall is on hold. She said it is most important that the Police Facility be built because there is not enough room in the present City Hall. She said in order to support the debt service for the Police Facility, it would be 3.015, raising the millage rate .305. She said this would bring the total tax rate, including the Police Facility to 3.015. C/M Stein said by law Council must adopt the budget by midnight tonight; however, the new revised budget was given to Council just before this evening's meeting. He said the City has had a Proposition from the Broward Sheriff's Office for one year and he urged that the Council stay with the budget as proposed by the Acting City Manager and put both the City Hall and Police Facility on hold. C/M Gottesman said what V/M Massaro proposed concerns increasing the millage rate as recommended by the Acting City Manager by .305 mills per $1,000.00 of assessed valuation. He said the average home in Tamarac would amount to approximately $15.25 per year. V/M Massaro said no Council members saw the proposed figures before tonight and she worked many days on this budget. 2. Final General, Fund Budget - Temp. Ord. #1221 - Discussion and possible action to adopt the final General Fund Budget for Fiscal Year 1985/86. Second Reading. SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Discussed. For action, See Pages 7 & 8 Mr. Henning read Temp. _ Ord.#1221 by title. C/M Munitz asked Acting City Manager Perretti if the expenses are affected in any way by the fact that there will be no income from the ambulances. Mr. Perretti said there were no expenses provided for in the budget for the ambulance service. Frank Etheredge, Finance Director, said the Fire Chief concurred that there is nothing budgeted for the ambulance service. V/M Massaro said she would like to have the Ordinance read that intra-departmental transfers will be made with the approval of the City Manager and the Council. She said Council can monitor expenses in this way. 3. Tamarac Utilities East - Temp.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Discussed. For action See Pages 8 & 9 Tape 2 Mr. Henning read,Temp. rd. #1223 by title. C/M Munitz said the new rates for Utilities West were approved at this morning's Council meeting and discussion is useless. Mr. Henning said the City Code provides for utility rates to have three days notice prior to the hearing and advertised in the newspaper. He said the public hearing was advertised for the regular City Council meeting on 9/26/85 and the public hearing was conducted on the rates at that meeting and the vote Tabled for the Reconvened meeting which was held this morning. He said the Reconvened meeting was announced at the 9/26/85 Council meeting per State law. Mr. Henning said even though the rates are fixed there may be discussion as to whether or not Council wants to allocate the resources. C/M Munitz said Council has been advised that a utility rate must be set before the budget is accepted and he questioned the sense to that. Mr. Henning said if Council wishes to recon- sider the rates, they should be specific as to what changes and the rates may be changed with 3 days notice. V/M Massaro said it can be reconsidered today because it is within the same day. 5. S ecial Funds - Temp.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Discussed. For action See Page 10 Mr. Henning read Tem . Reso #3764 by title. 3 9/30/85 /pm C/M Munitz asked how much of this amount has been included in the 1985/86 budget and Mr. Etheredge said it has almost entirely been removed from the budget. C/M Munitz asked if the City is locked into the future years by adopting this Plan and Mr. Henning said this is this year's contributions towards the Five -Year Plan which will be reviewed every year. He said the last 4 years could have called for a greater commitment this year. Mayor Kravitz opened the public hearing. Vickie Beech, resident, suggested Council consider holding up any construction until the City is in a better financial position. Bruce Hoffman, resident, said he is pleased that the Municipal Complex is being postponed temporarily and he suggested the City investigate the possibility of going with the BSO. He requested the Council cut the rate increase and hold off on the 15 million dollar construction for the Utilities West until the City can afford it. Bill Greenwood, Utilities Director/City Engineer, said the projects are in the proposed 15 million dollars capital expenditures and were started by the City approximately 3 years ago. He said this pertains to the method of sewage disposal and treatment. He said one of the projects is the Deep Injection Well, which is mandated with the City operating on a temporary operating permit until duly, 1986, when the City must have the Deep Injection Well installed. He said other projects which were included in the grant programs were the Sludge Dewatering and Composting and the City is presently disposing of sludge in Land Section 7. He said the City is operating on a temporary operating permit for this as well which expires next year. He said this project was also mandated. Mr. Greenwood said the Northwest Force Main Project was started several years ago because of the development in the northwestern sector of the City since the sewage pump stations cannot handle any additional flows from additional developments. He said delaying this particular project would stop all development and a sewer moratorium would have to be put on. He said each of these projects has had grants applied for and Tamarac was notified today that it was awarded a grant on the Sludge Dewatering and Composting Project, which is a 2-1/2 million dollar project. He said the City was verbally notified by the State that a grant will be received on the Northwest Force Main, which will cost approximately 1-1/2 million dollars. 1. Final-millage Rate - Tem Reso. #3785 - Discussion and possible action to ratify Resolution 85-288 and confirming the final millage rate for the City of Tamarac for Fiscal Year 1985/86 at 2.85 mills ($2.85 per one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) assessed valuation). SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: (See Pages 1 & 2) APPROVED accepting the final RESOLUTION NO. R-85-301 PASSED. millage rate at 2.71 mills ($2.71 per $1,000 assessed valuation) This excludes any plans to build a Police Facility or City Hall. Public Hearing was held. 9/30/85� /pm [1 Walter Rekuc, resident, asked what has been done to reconcile the City's new construction to the tax roll. He said at the end of the year there were approximately 17 million dollars in construction in process and the County was not notified about any of it. He said that would reduce the tax rate. He said for the last five years the Woodlands Country Club has had a decrease in the tax evalua- tion. Bob Jahn, Chief Building Official, said Tamarac has increased its valuation for construction each year and this year over two hundred thousand has gone into the General Fund from Building Permit revenue. He said each month a report of all the additions and changes are sent to the Broward County Tax Assessor's Office and the City Code requires an Interim Tax fee which is collected when a Certificate of Occupancy is given. He said just this month, they collected $3,500 and to date have collected $94,570.00. Mr. Henning noted that the property assessments are set by the Broward County Property Appraiser's Office and not by the City Council. David Silvergleid, President of the Isles of Tamarac Homeowners Association, commended Council for revising the original budget. He said at this point, Council can only eliminate the extra charge for waste removal. ,lack Stelzer, Chairman of the Budget Advisory Committee for the Tamarac President's Council, said he prepared a statement with many revisions that should be made to the budget. He said he was not allowed to speak and he gave copies to Council. He said he is glad the Police Department and City Hall are not being considered. He questioned whether the monies are needed for the construction of the wastewater plant and suggested consideration be given to constructing this in Land Section 7. Mr. Henning said he learned at 5:00 P.M. tonight that the closing on the 45 acres in Land Section 7 has already occurred and the Deed is as Council has previously authorized. Moe Glicksman, resident, commended the Acting work with the budget and noted that he felt a facility is needed. He said he felt a Police needed at this time. City Manager for his new water and sewer Facility is not Eleanor Cohen, resident, expressed concern over the tax increases. Moni Avidon, resident, said the Charter Board requested $31,000.00 Tape 3 for their budget and for the benefit of the public, he explained that Tamarac has a 3--tier form of government, Council, Charter Board and City Manager. He said the ESM problem was not the fault of this City administration. Murray Weiner, resident, said at the County budget hearing, the taxes of Tamarac were raised 15% and there were only 100 people present. Irving Lopatey, resident, said if the garbage removal fee is attached to the water sewage fee approximately 65% of the people living in condominiums will pay between 40% to 47% more than the homeowners of the City due to the condominium law. Ed Solomon, resident, said the budget was discussed at several budget public hearings and the public did not give their input. Eve Shukner, resident, asked if it were possible to continue with the same taxes as last year. 5 9/30/85 /Pm Mr. Perretti said in an from the effort to put the facts straight, he read newspaper articles concerning other cities: Coral Springs - Proposed Millage Levy - 2.91 Charges for service for Water & Sewer - $5,551,000 Proposed Total Operating Expenditures - 16.6% more than Plantation - last year. Total Operating General Oakland Park -- moe Totalditures OperatinglGeneralthan last year Expenditures -- 5.1% more than last year Refuse to be collected - $2,492,072.00 Issuing a Special Tax Sewer District - 2.9% Davie - (Same Population as Tamarac) Total Operating General Expenditures - 30.4% more than last year Blanche Lustig, resident, said she was told the newspaper collec- tions within the City would balance a garbage tax and she ques- tioned what happened. Mr. Perretti said the garbage collection involves a "fee" and not a "tax"; that is, it cannot be declared as income tax. He said in 1982/83 the City paid $693,000.00 for garbage collection, in 1983/84 the City paid $757,000.00 and in 1984/85 the City paid $962,000.00. He said for 1985/86 they are projecting $1,045,000.00. He said this would involve the residents paying $30.00 per year to encompass only half of this amount or approximatly $525,000.00. Lou Silverman, Editor of the Tamarac President's Council News- letter, said he is not in favor of the budget. Louise Smith, resident, questioned why the yearly charge of $30.00 cannot be put on the property taxes. Fred Specht, resident, said he feels this Administration is not responsible for the ESM loss. C/M Munitz said he worked with the Finance Director to determine how much more the miilage would have to be increased if the garbage fees were billed separately. Mr. Etheredge said the amount of .23 represented the relationship of the garbage tax to the Roll tax. He said taxes would have to be increased 23% to cover the garbage fee. C/M Munitz said he is opposed to proceeding with the Police Facility since the City is still negotiating with BSO. Mr. Etheredge noted that there would be a problem if the tax rate were increased more than 15% because the County Tax Assessor requires that another public hearing be held requiring the millage rate to wait until late October before being passed. Mr. Perretti said when the millage rate was originally submitted, they went to the 15% maximum so that a referendum would not be necessary. He said they then discovered that the Sunset Law went into effect which meant that a City could impose up to 10 mills without going to a referendum. C/M Munitz asked if the millage rate of $2.85 per $1,000 would contain the garbage fees and Mr. Etheredge said no, this would not finance the garbage fees. Mr. Perretti said when the 2.85 millage rate was reduced to 2.71, it was calculated that each percent reduced was valued at $34,000.00. He said they were able to reduce from the budget 14 times $34,000.00 which was the approximate amount of $520,000.00. He said that is how they were able to eliminate the Telecommunications Tax, which was estimated at that approximate figure. N. 9/30/85 /pm C/M Gottesman said the reason for this year's problems is that last year the City received income from ESM for other securities that were owned. He said this year there is no income from ESM because of their bankruptcy and that income would have represented approximately $750,000.00. He said in addition, the City is also losing some revenue sharing money by alloting $300,000.00 for legal fees concerning ESM. Tape 4 Mr. Henning noted that he had requested an Assistant City Attorney, which was denied and his Law Clerk was cut from this budget as well. He said he has some Consultant City Attorneys which have been cut back and he has two secretaries with a recommendation for removal of one. He said his office has given more than a fair share in balancing this budget and he expressed concern for next year's City Attorney's services. He said he would request that Council consider allowing him two secretaries for his office. Mr. Henning read Temp. Reso. #3785 in its entirety. Mr. Henning noted that this Resolution would have to be amended accordingly if the millage rate is changed. V/M Massaro urged Council to consider building the Police Facility as soon as possible. She noted that it would only cost $15.00 per year per household in order to build the Police Facility now. Mayor Kravitz said he has scheduled a Workshop Meeting on 10/30/85 concerning BSO and he urged the public attend. V/M Massaro asked if the budget must be considered tonight including the Police Facility and Mr. Etheredge said he must notify the Tax Assessor by 5:00 P.M. tomorrow afternoon what Tamarac's tax rate will be. Mayor Kravitz asked if any future facility that is eliminated from the budget can be considered in the future and Mr. Etheredge said the tax rate increases will not go into effect until next year. Mr. Henning said if a facility is eliminated now, it can be readdressed next October 1st but not before then. C/M Stein MOVED APPROVAL of Temp. Reso. #3785 with the final millage rate of 2.71 mills ($2.71 per $1,000.00 assessed valua- tion), eliminating the Police Facility and the Municipal Complex. SECONDED by C/M Munitz.

Mr. Etheredge said the provision for transfers within each department for line items is provided in the Charter for the City Manager and this should be addressed at a future time. V/M Massaro said the Council may create a procedure whereby the City Manager must bring any intended intra-departmental transfers to Council. Mr. Henning suggested a Resolution for procedure be created and he suggested this be on the Pre Agenda Listing for the 10/9/85 Council meeting. C/M Gottesman MOVED APPROVAL of Temp.

She said she will pursue this until it is determined what is due. She said she has asked Evelyn Lange to be an Aide to her in this regard.

Bernie Hart, resident, said he was questioning the separate listing for the water rate increase for Homeowners Association Clubhouses. He said it was ruled by the State that the Clubhouses are an extension of a living room and James M. Montgomery Engineers suggested that this may affect the City's grants. He said he was told previously that this would not be a separate rate but would be considered the same as residential. He said the single family water and sewer charges have been increased by 19.16% and the multi -family service charge has been dropped from $4.35 per unit to $3.20 but the consumption for sewers has been raised from $.70 to $1.50 per 1,000 gallons. 1 n E-0? 9/30/85 /pm Mr. Hart said the City has increased the rates for irrigation water for a single family home from a $4.65 service charge to $10.70 and the consumption from $.60 to $.80. He said for Homeowner Association Clubhouses and property that use 1-inch pipes, there is an increase from tion rate increase from $.60 to $4.65 $.80 to $26.05 plus a consump- per 1,000 gallons. Maxwell Ingram, resident, said the Broward County Quality Control Board mandates that the Deep Well Injection System be completed by 7/30/86. He commended the Utilities Director/City Engineer for treating the water system so well that it has been certified as one of the best drinking water systems in Florida. David Silvergleid, resident, said he feels this budget is a burden on the residents west of 441. Mayor Kravitz closed the public hearing with no further response. V/M Massaro asked if this particular budget must be adopted tonight and Mr. Etheredge said this is covered by the Charter and must be adopted tonight. He said the rates could be changed with only 3 days notice even if this budget is approved. Mr. Etheredge said the new rates that were approved this morning are not in the budget now and must be adjusted. V/M Massaro said the new rates will be adopted but at the 10/9/85 Council meeting, this item will be completely reviewed by her. V/M Massaro MOVED APPROVAL of Temp.

CITY OF TAMARAC AP irD AT MEE?I 0 s� City rk I I fJ 10 9/30/85 /pm ATTACHMENT 1 - 9/30/85 Budget Public Hearing - 6:00 P.M. Proposed Budget for FY 85/86 CITY OF TAMARAC INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM 4 8509-4209 TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL, AND THE CITIZENS OF TAMARAC FROM: LARRY PERFkETTI, ACTING CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: PROPOSED BUDGET 85/86 DATE: September 27, 1985 (6480) There has been confusion and misconceptions associated with the present proposed budget I wish to try to dispel. It is the responsibility of the City Manager to bring forth to this Council a budget addressing all facets of operation and problems the City will have in the coming year. The Finance Director and myself have had to struggle this year to accomplish this task. Actions taken in prior years to use the fund balance to balance the budget have led to the tax increases we proposed to you in the budget. We have, since the budget was presented to you, cut approximately $500,000 in expenditures. I met separately with the Mayor and Vice Mayor, and after recommendations, discussions and review, we were in the position to reduce the budget to where it is today. This would allow this council to remove any one of the three taxes proposed in the budget. However, I am recommending if you do reduce any of the taxes it would be the telephone tax. We have analyzed the projected fund balance of the General Fund for this year and I cannot recommend to you any of the fund balance wiii be available for use during the coming year. As of August 31, 1985, Expenditures are exceeding Revenues in the General Fund by $1,050,000. It is expected this trend will continue through September, the final results show the City will have used the majority of the General Fund Balance by the end of the year. We know the budget presented to you causes this Council and the people to face tax increases and we understand the reluctance of you to accept these increases. But if the City is to continue to meet an ever increasing demand for services, then you must realize increases in revenues in the form of taxes or user charges will be necessary. V 4
