48. Southern Bell - Local Measured Service Rate - Temp. Reso. #1623 -
Discussion and possible action to oppose this rate plan requested
by Southern Bell to the Public Service Commission.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted RESOLUTION NO.R--gO-/0PJK _ PASSED.
The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1623.
Court Lantaff, the local Manager for Southern Bell Telephone Company,
discussed and defined measured,service rates,as a possible implementa-
tion. He noted that telephone rates in South Florida have always
been computed on a "flat rate". Mr. Lantaff said in 1974 the Public
Service Commission requested implementation of trials, for the pur-
pose of testing measured service rates in the State of Florida.
He further added that due to inflation, the price of gasoline, and
bargaining negotiations with their employees, would warrant increases
in telephone rates. The last rate increase, he said, was in 1977, but
did not envision a rate increase as of this year, but in the future.
The basic rates in Tamarac and the area, are $11.65, which he felt
most people could afford. But, he said, when it goes to $15.00 or
$20.00, there will be many people who cannot afford such an increase.
It was, he said, for this reason that measured service was being in-
vestigated, in six or seven different trials around the State. The
closest trials, Mr. Lantaff said, were in Delray Beach and Pembroke
Pines, but nothing on file with the Public Service Commission for the
City of Tamarac.
This measured service was being viewed as a possible alternative to
flat rate pricing in the future, or could be called a flexible pricing
plan. He indicated the following options for the Delray Beach trials;
1) do nothing and keep the flat rates, 2) reduce the bill about 15%
and go to a measured service option, whereby there would be moderate
use of the telephone, and 3) a low -rate option, where the bill would
be reduced about 30%, and could reduce the calling. He said that flat
rate was the most popular, but in Delray Beach, over 3,000 to 4,000
customers picked the low -rate option, which involves people who are
not home all day, or others who wish to reduce their phone bill, and
do cut back on such usage.
Mr. Lantaff said that Pembroke attempted something else, and the most
popular option is;l) increase their local calling area, and increase
the bill, which is approximately $3.00 per month increase on the bills.
On this option, he said, they can call from Perrine through Boca Raton
for a flat rate, and might work in Tamarac, because of discussion with
him on the possibility of being able to call Hollywood free, with offers
of raising the bills, 2) do nothing and keep a flat rate, 3) medium
use option, such as Delray, and 4) low -rate option, which trial is in
effect since September.
In response to C/M Zeme1's question of time for a measured unit,
me
5/19/80
Recon. 5/14/80
mr/
Mr. Lantaff stated that the units are measured in a similar manner
as long distance calls. They are, he said, based on the time of
day, and the length of time, with the cheapest calls being on the
weekend and evenings; and the most expensive calls being middle of
the business day. Mr. Lantaff said this would be based on first minute
and additional minutes. If, he said, the low -use option is taken in
Delray, the bill would be reduced 30%, and there would be a $2.00
allowance, which permits 2 or 3 calls per day. Also, he said, once
it goes above the $2.00, it is added to the low rate bill. He added
that $5.00 worth of calling could be done, with a reduction on the
bill. Mr. Lantaff further stated that measured service does not
involve units, and distributed copies of a- chart which explains "How
Measured Service Works".
Mr. Lantaff said the resolution being considered by Council was pre-
mature, because it indicates an .increase of basic rates for Southern
Bell users, which he felt was not a true statement. He added that
the object of measured service was to reduce the bill for some Southern
Bell customers. He said there has not been a consensus taken for
Tamarac, as to which trial is to be considered, but once there is a
filing, he will bring it to the City, and would not cost the consumer
any money to determine this.
V/M Massaro felt that measured service in the State of Florida has
been in existence for long distance calls. She also indicated that
out-of-state calls to any area in the Country were cheaper than within
the State. She further felt that the resolution should stand "as is".
C/M Zemel MOVED for the adoption of Temp. Reso. #1623, petitioning
Florida's Public Service Commission, and V/M Massaro SECONDED.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVEZFINANCIAL
24. Budget Transfer - Recreation Department - Discussion and possible
action to approve a transfer from the Contingency Account to the
Recreation Department for a drinking fountain at the park.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled to reconvened
meeting of 5 21 80.
Ms. Stuurmans indicated that Council received a recommendation from
the City Manager's office for a budget transfer in the amount of
$600.00, which is for the purchase of a new fountain in the park area.
Sharon Ellis, the Recreation Director, stated that this was the second
fountain which was being replaced, and would be located on the wall.
The Council members discussed a more durable drinking fountain, to
which the Vice -Mayor noted that it should be free-standing, and would
permit general use.
Mayor Falck said the present location of the fountain has encouraged
vandalism, because the youngsters climb on the pipes against the
building, which causes the breakdown.
Ms. Ellis said the model could be changed, to which Ms. Stuurmans
added that the price was comparable, and installation could be handled
by the Public Works Department.
C/M Zemel said that a concrete pebble type fountain is very durable,
and would be acceptable to Council. A request was made of Ms. Ellis
by the Council members, for a sketch and the cost, with computations
by the Public Works Director.
Mayor Falck said this item would be recalled at the recessed meeting
of May 21, 1980.
26. Recreation Department - Summer Youth Program - Report, discussion and
possible action to approve this program.

mr/
Ms. Ellis said a request was being made for five additional staff
members for the summer program, because it was felt that previous
problems involved the lack of staff. She indicated that normally
over 300 children are accepted into the summer program, and staff
duties include watching them, outdoor activities, plus cleaning the
bathroom floors. Ms. Ellis said the complete staff for this summer
will be twelve, and should improve the total program administration.
She also noted that the program consists of seven weeks, with hours
from 8:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. at Tamarac Elementary School, and the
children will stay for lunch. Also, there will be extensive trips,
with special events on the site; which trips will be paid for by
the children. A concession stand will be in operation, she said, with
monies being applied for puppet shows, movies, clowns and special
acts. Ms. Ellis said other cities do have six --week. programs.
Ms. Ellis advised that the children bring their own lunches, and the
summer program with the Elementary School is completely free of charge,
with a lease agreement being executed.
Mayor Falck felt the hours were a plus, and did recommend additional
supervision, which was required for last year's program. He also
noted that an additional week was being offered in Tamarac, while
other cities confine their program to six weeks.
In response to a question by C/M Zemel, the Recreation Director stated
there is insurance coverage, and joined the NRPA as a department, in
order to take advantage of the Frank B. hall National Policy, which
covers activities for the entire year, and is from the Recreation Budget.
Negotiations are being conducted at the present time, with an amount
from $400.00 to $1,000.00, which Judy Deutsch is in the process of
determining, she said.
Ms. Stuurmans added that the insurance is for an entire year, and not
only for the seven -week program, for athletic events and medical coverage
which is required at the park, and includes the ball park.
C/M Disraelly said the original budget included a flat figure of
$7,700.00, without breaking down the salaries for the seven people
involved in the program, to which Ms. Ellis stated that she broke
it down in her worksheets.
Ms. Ellis said in the past all the children were Tamarac residents,
with others being requested to go to their own cities or the County
Recreation Program. She also stated that many requests have been sub-
mitted from unincorporated areas, to join the activities. She further
added that a cap of 300 has been established.
Ms. Stuurmans said that all the monies are required to be deposited into
the General Fund, which appropriation is established by Council. At a
later point in time, she said, by budget amendment, it could be put
back into the Contingency. She further indicated that all fees that
are collected go into the Recreation Fees Collected - General Fund,
which will be replaced into Contingency at a later date, with Council
authorization.
Tape C/W Kelch confirmed the fact that residents would be registered first,._

V/M Massaro requested copies of reports on activities, that are sent
to the City Manager, should be routed to the City Council.
Mayor Falck indicated that charges made by the school were discussed
at the last School Advisory Board meeting,with a representative
who has been working on the Community School Program. He felt a work-
able plan might be explored during the summer months, which could be
offered for evenings in the fall, and reduce expenses. The Mayor said
he was given the responsibility for coordinating this program, and
would submit copies to Council, once it is completed, which will be
submitted at the June 4th Advisory Board Meeting.
C/M Disraelly MOVED that $4,620.00 from line item Account #1-872-581-
901 of the budget named Contingency, be transferred to line item Account
#1-761-572-131 Recreation, and named Salaries - Part -Time. The balance

27. Independence Day Celebration - Report, discussion and possible action
on Recreation Committee proposal for a 4th of July Celebration.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Denied
Ms. Ellis advised that on the request of Harry Weisenberg, a Committee
was organized, which consisted of Veterans groups, and people from the
City, who would like to have a Fourth of July celebration in Tamarac.
After two meetings, she said the Committee determined that an evening
fireworks presentation could be held, because there was not adequate
time to prepare a planned program.
She invited the Zambelli Company to meet with the Committee, also
discussing this with the Fire Chief and the insurance personnel, con-
cerning the demonstration at the park. The Parks Commissioner, Phil
Kravitz, has been attempting to locate a bank or merchant to make a
donation, in order to cover the event. The cost, she said, was from
$1,000.00 to $3,000.00 for a 1/2 hour presentation, which would be
limited specifically to fireworks. Ms. Ellis said that the Fire De-
partment did not want to take part in the actual releasing of the
mortars, and a Professional Pyrotechnic would have to be paid within
the package, which person is employed with the Zambelli Company.
She additionally stated that the company carries $1,000,000.00 in
insurance on each accident, whether personal or property, and has an
excellent reputation with fireworks. Ms. Ellis said it was stipulated
that there would be a 10% discount if the event was held on July 5th,
rather than July 4th.
V/M Massaro felt that such an event being held at the park could in-
volve serious problems, and said that having someone set it off, with-
out firemen participation, would be very risky.
C/M Disraelly felt there would not be adequate parking, and involve
many people walking on the roadway. He also felt there was a danger of
fireworks discharging into the wooded area beyond the park.
C/M Zemel said that he would not approve this at the present time,
to which C/W Kelch felt that the people from her section would not
benefit, because they would not make the trip to that area, and also
indicated that she had a negative reaction to such approval.
Mayor Falck said that a birthday party celebrating the nations birth
was discussed in September of last year. He felt the time element
involved was too close, but could be accomplished for next year, as long
as someone follows through with this.
V/M Massaro said that monies should be raised by the Committee, in sup-
port of such a celebration, which is accomplished by other cities.
She further stated that activities should be planned early, and not
six weeks before that date.
V/M Massaro MOVED that the request for an Independence Day Celebration
be denied, and C/W Kelch SECONDED.

22. Budget Transfer - Group Annuity Contract - Discussion and possible

Outside Services in the amount of $2,000.00.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Amendment to be reworded.
(See page 9)
C/M Disraelly inquired as to why G & A pays for the services, and
not the Pension Plan itself, to which the Mayor said it would involve
a deficiency in the Plan at the end of the year, also requiring
an increase in the allotment for the following year.
C/M Disraelly said that he was not insurance oriented, but felt that
each fund would be self-sustaining, to which the Mayor said it could
be handled in this manner, but would require actuary recomputation
for the contribution. Mayor Falck said the City was 1 1/2 years ahead
of the plan, but for the next evaluation it will not be that way. He
indicated that plans have to be made for all the people from Tamarac
Utilities, who will be participating as of October 15, 1980. Fie added
that the suggested method was the simplest way to take care of it.

C/M Disraelly inquired whether a complete new

versus their salaries, in order to arrive at a
of those individuals who become of retirement
evaluation would have
based on their ages
Pension Fund for each
age.
Mayor Falck concurred, and said it is a funded liability, and instead
of being $90,000.00, as of the last evaluation, it would go up to
$140,000.00 or $150,000.00, because of people who would be approaching
retirement age within a short period of time, plus credit for their
vesting over the period of time they have been with the City. Mayor
Falck said they would not get credit for the back years, but the vesting
part has to be planned, based on the exact age that the individual
comes into the plan. He additionally stated it is based on what they
get when they retire, also, based on the number of years in the plan
on a total basis, and dependent on October 15, 1980, plus the salary
consideration.
He said the other method would be to take it out of the fund, and on
evaluations, as they are made, the deficiencies that exist in the
fund, at the time, would be appropriated by the City Council. He
felt that the plan was a workable one, and Council had agreed that
a Pension Plan would be in effect as of 6/l/75, but was actually not
in effect until two years later, and required recommendations and
necessary work to be implemented from the original date that was desig-
nated. Upon completion of this work, it was found that Council passed
an ordinance indicating that the benefits for Police and Fire Depart-
ments be increased, in order to take advantage of the refunds offered
by the State, based on insurance premiums paid on fire and casualty.
At that time, it was determined to increase the contribution from 40
to 6.8%, and in addition a disability benefit was built into the
plan, which required the employees to contribute 1%.
This plan, he said, will have to be reconsidered in the future, be-
cause the employees are interested in increasing the benefits from
1% to 3%.
C/M Disraelly requested the Assistant City Manager reword the budget
amendment, due to a transposition of figures, and said this item
should be recalled once it has been properly noted.
19. Public Works DeRartment - Personnel Adjustment - Report by City
Manager - Discussion and possible action on deletion of a Maintenance
Man II position. (This item relates to Item #20).
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled until bids under Item #20
are received, and the figures are evaluated.
Ms. Stuurmans said that an Administrative Report Form references both
Items 19 and 20. She stated that there was a recommendation that
the Public Works Director not fill a vacant Maintenance Man I[ position,
but apply that sum of money which would be available for the balance
of this year, and for the same position for the next fiscal year,
towards a janitorial service contract. This would affect the upkeep
of the City Hall building, and Buildings 1 and 3 of Utilities - West.
She said the backup indicates, including straight salary and benefits,
a total of $1,088.00 is being paid to a Maintenance Man II monthly
services; also, an additional $80.00 per month for one of the employee's
at the Utility Plant to clean those two buildings. Ms. Stuurmans re-
iterated a proposal to pay that money towards obtaining janitorial ser-
vices.
C/W Kelch said that she would not object to going out for bid on
janitorial services, but felt it should be determined whether this
deletion would require the termination of a long-term employee, or
he would be appropriated into other services of the Public Works De-
partment.
Ms. Stuurmans said this Maintenance Man II position is currently vacant,
due to the retirement of an employee, which has not been filled to -date.
She said that there are several Maintenance Man II positions, who are
deployed to the City Hall, for clean-up, as they are available, but
because of sick leaves or vacations, or other priorities, the service

40. Tamarac Shopping Center - Discussion and possible action to approve
an additional extension to the site plan.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Extension granted to the
first meeting in September.
Mr. Birken indicated that the Stonehaven Managers were attempting to
complete a certain amount of work, and then prepare the stipulation.
He said the major blank in the proposed stipulation is the amount the
City would hold, and it was incumbent upon Stonehaven to present this
figure. He requested to continue the site plan until the first meeting
in June, because they have absentee owners, and their attorney is
located in Miami.
V/M Massaro said that extensive work was being accomplished, with
landscaping, and felt that the site plan should be extended to the
first meeting in September.
VOTE:
C/M Disraelly said that irrigation was being installed for the islands,
but could not be done until the parking lot is cut-up, with lines
from island to island. He also noted that handicapped ramps have to
be installed, which will be required at every curb, and could not be
accomplished within a number of weeks. He then MOVED to extend the
site plan for Tamarac Shopping Plaza to the first meeting in September
1980, and C/M Zemel SECONDED.

46. Site Plan Review Fees - Temp. Reso. #1619 - Establishing fees for
extensions of pre viouslyrapproved site plans. Discussion and possible
action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Tabled to meeting of 5/21/80
The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1619, which was suggested by
V/M Massaro, for a paragraph starting on line 33, and extending to
page 2 at the top; with all the fees remaining the same.
V/M Massaro felt this was an oversight, and MOVED for the approval
of Temp. Reso. #1619, and C/M Zemel SECONDED.
C/M Disraelly inquired about the extension of time, and whether it is
applicable; with an additional $125.00 fee on the second extension.
He also confirmed the fact if a three-month extension is given, and
not completed, then there is a charge; to which Mr. Birken concurred.
Mr. Birken said there were some items on this day's agenda -which
were pending, and felt that Council would want to address this prior
to taking action on this resolution. This, he said, would involve
extensions which were pending, but submitted, without action. He
felt this might not be fair or desirable for a fee requirement, be-
cause there was no notice of it pending, or being on the agenda.
V/M Massaro said that anything on the agenda this day, should not re-
quire payment of the fee, but all future submissions would be charged
the fees under discussion, for approval of site plan extensions.

be provided.
mayor Falck requested the Assistant City Manager to note the comments
which were made by C/M Disraelly.
V/M Massaro noticed that the Building Permit Fee Schedule wad not
consistent with the Development Fee Schedule, which would require
an amendment. She said that Mr. Gluth was informed that rock pit
fees for excavation would be increased, when Leadership Housing Inc.
settlement took place. She would, therefore, be submitting a recom-
mendation to Council for this. Also, due to the increase in wages,
that some small percentage should be applied to the various categories
under the particular resolution. V/M Massaro said that she requested
the Chief Building Official to review this, and have the various in-
spectors analyze their categories, which could eventually be applied
to the building permit fee structure. The Vice -Mayor advised that
this has been accomplished, and has now sent everything to the City
Planner, for his perusal and recommendations. She additionally stated
that everything will be prepared for the next Pre -Agenda meeting.
C/W Kelch felt a time schedule should be established for review of
the "fee" resolutions which were passed, in order to determine whether
revisions or amendments would be required, or up -dated.
C/M Disraelly added to his report, and advised that the last agenda
of the County Commission indicated that the Brothers Telegadis were
donating the right-of-way for McNab Road to the County.
He also stated that Commissioner Forman advised that a motion was
made for opposition to the Helistop, and a new hearing will be forth-
coming at the Department of Transportation.
C/M Disraelly indicated that the Colony West Library has been pur-
chased.
He further stated that Mitch Ceasar resigned as an appointee by the
County Commission on the Community Block Grant Program, with Evan
Cross, presently being the County appointee, who was appointed by
George Platt. He also advised that he was an alternate for the. munici-
palities. . Their basic premises is to purchase unit housing that
has been foreclosed by VA or FHA, which will be sold to single people
whose income is under $2,000.00. He additionally stated that these
people are permitted to borrow money at 3%, and after a three-year
residence, the home is sold to them for $1.00.
Tape Mayor Falck said that the third self-insurance fund was being es --
Side tablished on Friday, for health, hospitalization and related programs,
#4 that are provided by municipalities for the benefit of their members.
Also, he said, discussion was held relating to the possibility of his
serving on the Liability Board or the new Health Fund Board, and he
chose the latter of the two. He felt this would permit him to formu-
late policy. The T4ayor said he was not initially requested to serve
on the Liability Board, when it was activated last October. He stated
that problems have arisen in the amount being paid by municipalities
to other insurance companies.
Mayor Falck said that he wrote an extensive article to the League
that is sponsoring the program in Florida, and received a lengthy
response from Ray Sittig. The Mayor said the expenses he incurs on
the trips to Tallahassee and Orlando are paid by the Funds, and not
charged to the City.

Cities meeting, where a number of proposed Charter Amendments were
drafted and discussed with the Charter Review Commission. The League,

hearings on the various proposals. He also said that County Commis-
sioner Kolb wrote a letter to the County Commission and the County
Administrator, expressing her opposition.

for release, but many City Planners felt that the Planning Council
should have the opportunity to review and discuss this new Platting

posal. He further requested the City Attorney to give his observa-
tions on the final draft of this ordinance, which was promised to
Mr. Birken by Jerry Knight. He also noted that the matter was taken
to Colonel Wilson, with a suggestion that he intercede or present
the matter to the Executive Committee. This Committee will be pre-
senting a recommendation for Thursday's meeting of the Planning
Council, as to public hearings, and the manner of procedure for ap-
proval and input for this Platting Ordinance.
He also advised that work was progressing on the establishment of
the City's self-insurance fund, and thanked Mr. Birken for his
