concerning a committee to administer holiday festivities.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Vice Mayor to
direct this function.
Mayor Falck read this item and Mr. Gross said we didn't have a
holiday committee last year and there were a lot of complaints
from people and will leave it to the Council's discretion.
V/M Massaro said this will be difficult, as it is so late, but
that she would not be adverse to taking this committee and would
like to be allowed to direct and choose the people to help her
such as Sharon Ellis and possibly Ralph Thissen.
Mr. Gross indicated that we need some new decorations and V/M

she is not satisfied with them.
Mayor Falck said he is not familiar with the program that is
planned, but time is getting close and feels that if V/M Massaro
would be willing to work with the necessary people, the Mayor
said he would appreciate it, as the last program she was in charge
of was excellent.
V/M Massaro indicated that although she has a heavy work load, she
will be happy to do it but needs the full cooperation of the City
Manager.

40. Woodvale "60" Homes - Model Sales Center - Discussion and
possible action to approve a permit with a waiver of
parking and distance requirements.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Waiver granted with
conditions.
Mayor Falck read the item and Council was presented with plans
from Mr. Gerald L. Bell.
Mr. Gerald L. Bell indicated that he lives in Woodmont and has
been building in the Woodmont Country Club since Leadership sold
land to outside builders; they have purchased 35 lots in Tract 60
and are building two model homes which will be extensively land-
scaped in the model homes and the parking area and intends to do
the best job possible.
C/W Kelch asked Mr. Evan Cross to elaborate on this project, and
Mr. Cross said he was contacted about 4 weeks ago by Mr. Stevens
of Woodvale and he was made aware of Ordinance No. 80-56;
Mr. Cross has also received on two occasions a letter and a site
plan which showed the two model homes, the street and the block
they would use for parking and there was a problem in determining
from the Ordinance what the proper parking would be. Mr. Cross
indicated that Mr. Bell became involved and contacted the City
Attorney at which time the documents were submitted to the City
(the $150.00 fee was the correct fee); they asked to waive the
asphalt finish and put in wood chips in 4 parking spaces and
have an expansion area if necessary and also a waiver for the 150'
models to the closest unit.
V/M Massaro asked what the closest distance was and Mr. Cross
explained that they owned 35 lots in the immediate vicinity.
Mr. Bell said he was concerned about knocking out 15 of the lots
which would be unuseable.
Mr. Cross indicated that at this point in time he sent a memo
to the City Attorney, Council, the City Manager and Irene pursuant
to a meeting with the City Attorney and after a meeting with C/M
Disraelly that in the future all model sales applications were to
have a full site plan or 24" X 36" paper requesting certain infor-
mation, which wasn't what they submitted. Mr. Cross(said it is
his understanding of the Ordinance that there was confusion as
to what an overlay was, but that he and the City Attorney con-
cluded that it was to take an existing site plan and just draw
over it, but there was some discrepancy.
V/M Massaro indicated that the site plan doesn't give any kind
of relationship to homes that are going to be built there, but
only expansion and two models; she asked what kind of a waiver
they were seeking or asked if he wants to throw it out altogether.
C/W Kelch explained that the ordinance was to keep an annoyance
away from existing homes; there is nothing to show where the
entrance is, how many homes one has to go past to get to this
parking place, etc.
Mr. Bell replied, not really altogether because the parking lot
will take a spot. He showed a large diagram to Council and
pointed out Lot 10 and Lot 12.
V/M Massaro asked what Tract 60 was and Mr. Bell answered N.W.
80th Street.
Mr. Bell showed the country club as a point of reference and
indicated same on site plan.
C/M Disraelly entered Council Chambers.
C/W Kelch asked Mr. Bell if his actual office will be in just the
garage of one of these homes and Mr. Bell replied that their
main office is in Margate and this will be strictly a sales office
and sales people will be there.
-2- November 14, 1980
/pe
C/M Disraelly said he doesn't think spaces are needed for both models,
but he does feel that there should be spaces as required by the
oxCUnaiice for- one mode-i- wh4-c-.i would ba 13 spaces; however. that could
be reduced to 12. Furthermore, he doesn't think 4 are enough, as if
any people come in to see him, there will be a shortage of spaces.
He would not be opposed to having the requirements for one model
and waive one, but doesn't think we should waive the spaces that are
required. The second consideration that he has in t?y-ng it together
is that the 150' requirement should not be waived until the rest of
the homes are sold; the ones at the parking entrance should not be
built on a-s the people who might be- 3L.v{oived i-n lots 3, 4 and 39
might be affected.
Mr. Bell showed the lots it will affect and feels 50% of his sales
will be affected and that there are a total of 81 lots in the
sub -division.
Mr. Arthur Birken explained that Mr. Bell bought lots from the
developer, but not all the lots.
Mr. Bell said he owns 30 lots and that the ordinance affects lots
8, 9, 11, 13, 14, 4, 3, and 39.
Mr. Gross mentioned that when Council wrote this ordinance,it was written
because most of the tracts were owned by one individual, and
since these lots are sold separately, feels it will impose a
hardship on Mr. Bell.
C/M Disraelly said that maybe this can be reduced and not knock
them all out, but feels that the people adjacent to the models
should have some protection.
Mr. Bell indicated that should people have a complaint, he will
rectify it, but that he will do what is right.
_
C/M Disraelly said if he is using lots 10, 11, and 12, then lots 9,
13,-_3 and 39 should be left open.
V/M Massaro stated that she has an aversion to the number of park-
ing areas available and doesn't think 12 is too great a number
so that people are not all over; maybe 3 and 39 should be restricted
and Mr. Bell could come back at a future time to release these.
V/M Massaro said there would have to be a proviso that if there
was parking in front of peoples' homes, then Mr. Bell would have
to cease and desist with using those models until more parking
was provided.
Mr. Bell said they generally have only two or three people at a
time, so 12 parking spots are not necessary, as people are not
going to be in 12 cars and asked if a compromise of 10 spaces
would be possible; he said other builders are not required to
have 12 spaces, some have 6 and some have none.
V/M Massaro MOVED that on Project 60 Woodvale, a waiver be
granted to the parking requirements but requiring 12 paved park-
ing spaces and the required beautification around it and that~,
the two model homes be permitted with the parking in between
lot 11, that the lot numbers 3 and 39 no final inspection be
made until the requirements of the ordinance are all met other
than the waiver provisions granted today.
C/W Kelch SECONDED the motion.
V/M Massaro said she thinks there is a provision that Mr. Bell
can come in at some point in time if this becomes a hardship.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.

from an emergency purchase to a sole source required by the

$3,475.00 and two for $3,245.00, for a total price of
$9,965.00.

Mr. Birken said he sent Council a memo on November 6th on how
the work was progressing in relation to the budget and stated
that we are a little behind the budget, but that Mr. Arnold is
very close to the amount authorized.
C/W Kelch asked Mr. Birken if hehadsome idea as to how much it
has to be raised.
Arthur Birken, City Attorney indicated that this matter has been
handled in an unusual way for litigation and he has directed them
to keep the costs down, but unlike others he has handled, there
was a cap placed in the motion.
V/M Massaro said that we can't give them a blank check and was
disturbed about the 2.5 multiplier.
Mr. Gross asked if H & M was the same company and V/M Massaro
replied that it was.
C/W Kelch asked what the round numbers were and indicated that
she would not like to see this suspended.
Mr. Birken said it appears from memoranda that was filed'by the
FAA that they will be required to have environmental impact
statements on the runway extension and that the scope and mag-
nitude of that is, do we have some chips to bargain with; he
feels we are moving in a good direction.
V/M Massaro mentioned that we need to know what they are talking
about as an upset figure; it may be a $100,000.00 figure.
Mr. Birken said it it goes to the Supreme Court it might cost us
that much; he indicated that Milledge & Hermelee stated that
they are $3000.00 or $4000.00 off.
C/M Disraelly discussed the fact that we have instituted a law
suit and either we are going to pursue it or not; if there are
any additional problems, do we drop it, go by default,or continue?
C/M Disraelly said he thinks that we should not stop it, take
the next step, and if Mr. Birken thinks the judgment will be
made as to the environmental impact, the City should take the
next step and he doesn't think we should drop it at this time.
He said the City knows there are additional costs; let's see
what this next bill is, anticipating that Council will add to
the budgetin the near future.
-4- November 14, 1980
/pe
Mr. Birken suggested that we have Mr. Arnold of Milledge
& Hermelee at the next meeting, as he has been a professional
for many years; his fee is $100.00 per hour, but the 2.5
multiplier is what had everyone confused.
Mayor Falck indicated that Mr. Birken's suggestion was a good
one and the representatives can be here at the next meeting
and discuss it with them.
V/M Massaro said we can't go for an unlimited number of dollars.
Mr. Birken explained that the trial is going to be scheduled
for Christmas week and he anticipates that it will be resolved
at that trial, and if it is granted, we will be in good shape.
C/M Disraelly discussed hours they will put in that week, but
we have to go that far, and then find out what the City has to
pay; after the trial we can determine where wecan go.
Council discussed the bill that would come in from this firm
and felt this bill could be negotiated, but that it would have
to be paid.
Mayor Falck said as long as there is an understanding that the
work that is done between now and the next meeting by Mr. Arnold
and have their representatives here at the next meeting, he
thinks that is sufficient; there is no action needed, but we
will have it on the agenda for the 26th.
GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE/FINANCIAL
17. Capital Improvement Program - Municipal Facilities -
Discussion and possible action concerning proposal to
prepare an architectural and planning guide to a Capital
Improvement Program for the City.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Michael Shiff &
Associates hired with stipulations.
............... ...
Mr. Gross indicated that Council had received a copy of a proposal
dated November 5th from Michael Shiff & Associates and he asked
Mr. Shiff to elaborate; Mr. Sayers was also in attendance.
Mr. Shiff read the worksheet as to what his firm's intentions
are and V/M Massaro asked if it will be on a drawing. Mr. Shiff
replied that it willbe a bubble diagram, but it won't be a floor
plan and explained that it will be an analyis and not a drawing
and that they will schematically plan out relationships between
different departments. He further indicated that it will be a
book of about 30 or 40 pages and also could be done on a matrix
plan, also could number departments that are close to each other
and show relationship of other departments that are not close to
one another.
V/M Massaro wanted to know what was wrong with putting it on a
piece of paper in a concept plan. Mr. Shiff said they will, but
doesn't want Council to think they are giving the City a floor
plan, because they can't; not for the kind of dollars that have
been discussed - they can't design City Hall.
C/M Disraelly discussed where various departments will be, and
Mr. Shiff pointed out that the Building Department and Engineering
Department relate very closely and might be able to share some
things like plan storage and plan review spaces.
Mayor Falck said instead of 10 pages, we would like to be given
a piece of paper which shows what can be done graphically and
Mr. Shiff indicated that they could do that.
-5- November 14, 1980
/pe
Mr. Shiff went on to say that this will be geared toward the
City Hall function and the Police Department and will not be
geared toward the City's recreational needs; however they will
look at the City's sites in terms of the best location for City
Hall and the Police Department, Public Works, etc. He said
they will also look at the neighborhood that surrounds those
facilities and point out things that Council might want to be
cognizant of.
V/M Massaro asked if they would recommend where a park is
appropriate and Mr. Shiff answered, `'Yes."
Mr. Shiff said that in the building design program, they will
project some plans for today and some plans to provide for
inflation.
Mr. Shiff discussed the specific buildings about which they
will make recommendations and will analyze this building as to
whether the private sector is interested and will probably go out
into the market and.talk to a few of the office building developers
in the area and they will also look into the Public Works Department.
C/W Kelch asked if this will definitely answer our question; would
this affect the eventual use or would we be ruining this for some
other use.
Mr. Shiff will answer what will happen to this building if this
addition is made.
V/M Massaro asked if there will be a floor plan, and Mr. Shiff
asked what Council meant by a floor plan. V/M Massaro indicated
that she wanted them to point out where the different departments
were to be located. C/M Disraelly explained Mr. Shiff's diagram
to V/M Massaro.
Mr. Shiff indicated that if the City would hire him things might
change later and Mayor Falck said it was his understanding that
he is talking about what we have right now and what could be
included if we decided to go the other way.
C/M Disraelly indicated that Mr. Shiff is talking about a new
complex and will analyze this building; they are not going to design
City Hall, as emphasized by Mr. Shiff.
V/M Massaro said that after that is done and a plan shown to
Council, at that point we make a decision which way we are going,
and asked if he would then make architectural plans and Mr. Shiff
replied that he would.
C/W Kelch indicated that #2 under "C" about cost projections, will
they give Council a couple of alternatives and Mr. Shiff said once
they know how big City Hall is going to be, then they will do some
cost estimates according to square footage and use that basis to
determine cost until there were definite plans.
C/M Disraelly asked if they could estimate furniture costs and Mr.
Shiff said he could give them some estimates of what it would cost
to furnish the building based . upon per person.
C/W Kelch asked how much of this cost is the 25 copies that they
suggested and Mr. Shiff indicated that the City will pay for print-
ing costs and it was-nis experience that they never made enough
copies and it will be up to the City to determine how many copies
they will need and Shiff Associates will handle it for the City.
V/M Massaro indicated that she didn't like the words "out of
pocket" and would like to see that sentence eliminated and Mr.
Shiff said that if the City is willing to put a limit on "out of
pocket expenses" without coming back to Council, that they would be
willing to do that; they never know what they might have to buy
and feels that the fee is very low for what they are doing.
Mr. Shiff said they will do it for $4,750.00 and the City will
absorb cost of printing and City can request as to number and
quality.
-G- November 14, 1980
/pe
I
C/M Disraelly indicated that Item E is to be determined by
Council.
V/M Massaro asked if we can eliminate "plus out-of-pocket and
normal reimbursable expenses" and Mr. Shiff said this would be
fine.
V/M Massaro mentioned that she would like to see this work
held until a new City Manager comes in, although she would like
to give Mr. Shiff the agreement today.
Mayor Falck said he felt that Council is permanent and the City
Manager position is temporary and Council should give its
decision.
Mr. Gross said we are hoping to look for grants and if plans
are ready quickly, we can use these plans for grant purposes.
C/W Kelch said if this is authorized, she thinks this is what
must be had in order to make an intelligent decision.
Mayor Falck indicated that if we had it, it would provide better
input than if we had nothing, and feels a new City Manager could
work better with this information in hand.
C/M Disraelly mentioned that if the City doesn't like Mr.
Shiff's plan, then the City won't build; he is just telling us
what we should have and what we need.
C/M Disraelly MOVED that we hire Michael. A. Shiff & Associates
to perform the work under his proposal dated November 5, 1980
with the stipulation of a fee of $4,750.00 and the cost of the
printing of the final report will be determined by Council at
a future date as to type and quantity to be provided and with
the deletion of the words "plus out-of-pocket and normal,
reimbursable expenses" and payment to be made upon acceptance
by the City Council.
C/W Kelch SECONDED the motion.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.

38. Miller, Cowherd & Kerver - Building - Revised Site Plan -
Discussion and possible action for paving and drainage at
a dedicated alley for the building at 3900 West Commercial
Boulevard.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Approved with
conditions.
V/M Massaro indicated that this alley exists, but part if it
was never used; there is an alley that has been paved on each
end being used by some of the people south of this complex and
in the middle there is nothing but brush and overgrown material.
C/M Disraelly asked Mr. Glen Cameron if, the funeral parlor is to
the east of 38th Terrace and Mr. C am e r o n replied that the
funeral parlor sits on lots 5 and 6. V/M Massaro asked if
the funeral, parlor is west of this property and Mr. Cameron
said yes, and Council and Mr. Cameron examined the plan.
C/M Disraelly said this alleyway is overgrown and in back of
the wood -working shop there is a parking lot and a white dumpster
which will have to be removed.
Mr. Cameron said they are just looking for access to 38th
Terrace and are trying to avoid the use of 49th Street and stay
away from 441.

V/M Massaro said the City Engineer has recommended according
to the plan, a catch basin on each end with the 15" perforated
corrugated aluminum pipe in between. She indicated that Mr.
Keating was careful in designing this and it will probably
hold the water that comes in there, but they might have a
maintenance problem w ft e r e drainage is going to be; however
it will be their res
ponsibility sponsibility and we are waiving the require-
ments for the positive flow, as Council realizes it would be
a tremendous hardship to put it in for the entire area. She
indicated that she doesn't see anything wrong with this and
feels it is well thought out and something that is needed very
badly; anything that can be done to help traverse through those
areas will be a big help to them.
C/M Disraelly asked if this was dedicated and V/M Massaro replied
that this is dedicated to the public on the plat.
Mr. Cameron indicated that they will need a lot of fill, but
they are willing to absorb this expense because of the danger
to their people.
Mr. Gross said he would like the City Engineer to check 38th
Terrace as something needs to be done there as the City owns
that street.
V/M Massaro stated that there is a fee required here because
of retention and whenever drainage is involved; the City has to
charge for retention and $130.00 per acre fee and that money
could be used to correct the problems created by this drainage.
Mr. Gross said he will take this up with the City Engineer this
afternoon.
V/M Massaro repeated that there will be that fee and asked what
acreage there was. Mr. Cameron said that lots 3, 4 and 5 might
be an acre.
Mr. Cameron said he will be agreeable to the retention fee and
$130.00 per acre fee if that was usual.
V/M Massaro MOVED that the revised site plan be approved as
submitted subject to the retention fees and the $130.00 per acre
fee which is required by the ordinance and before they get a
permit, these fees would have to be paid; the developer review
requirements appear to have been satisfactory.

drainage work in Westwood 6 - Temp. Reso. #1780 -
Discussion and possible action.
SYNOPSIS OF ACTION: Adopted. RESOLUTION NO.Ro2rj PASSED
Mr. Larry Keating reported that the agreement was something he
requested from Lennar Corp. to allow the City authorized and
legal use of those.drainage ditches that exist through tracts
13 and 13A south of Westwood 6; the City has awarded a contract
to Triple R Paving for the 103rd Avenue outfall which includes
drainage through one of those ditches and improvements. Mr.
Keating indicated that he has been pushing Lennar for the past
two months to get these easements in-house and finally the
City has it and the form is acceptable to him although the City
Attorney has expressed certain reservations with regard to at
least one paragraph, but from a technical standpoint, he
doesn't see any problems with it.
C/M Disraelly asked if this will still be a ditch draining to
the south and Mr. Keating replied that it will still be a ditch,
but we are cleaning it out.
V/M Massaro said that she withdrew her objection to the para-
graph referred to by Mr. Keating.
C/M Disraelly asked if ultimately there will still be this
drainage ditch.

Mr. Keating said it could be, but most likely it will not be
and that Lennar Corp. objected to definitely establishing
the location of the canal they have to put on that property;
as long as we have use of the ditch, this would be sufficient.
The City Attorney read Temp. Reso. #1780 by title.
V/M Massaro MOVED that Temporary Resolution #1780 be approved

come in and we are going to lose a vast sum of money; she
understands that there is an ordinance drafted at the County
by Ann Kolb to call for a three month moratorium until March

Mayor would be needed; Mayor Falck said that it would be alright
with him to be in attendance. She thinks she can obtain a copy
of the ordinance today.
Mr. Gross stated that he would be happy to be down there also.
Mr. Birken said he will work on it this afternoon, and Mayor
Falck indicated that we could schedule a meeting on Monday
afternoon for first reading.
C/M Disraelly asked what specific changes would be required in
the ordinance and Mr. Birken indicated that there is a provision
in the ordinance taking out the exemption for credits, and he
suggested.that this not be taken out; at least allowing a half
credit for any piece of property over 1-1/2 acres for Recreation.
C/M Disraelly asked if in some instances in the past, credit was
not given.
V/M Massaro said we do not want to give any credit for anything
less than 1-1/2 acres; we didn't give any credit to Lon Rubin
and developers have been asking if there is going to be credit,
but she is not recommending any credit as we should get what we
can.
There was a lengthy discussion between Council and City Attorney
as to changing language in the ordinance.
Mr. Birken .indicated the following changes in language in the
ordinance:
Page 2, Line 4 after word'Section"add words "as
appropriate."
Page 2, Line 7 after word'maximum,' add word "density."
Page 2, Line 9 word "approved" be deleted and the
word "reviewed" be inserted.
Page 2, Line 10 after word'tLttorney"add "and approved

Page 3, Line 5 add word "or" instead of "and."
Page 3, Line 6 strike words "on whose behalf
funds have been paid" and put a period after
the word City.
V/M Massaro asked Mr. Birken if on Line 1, Page 4
an title is needed and Mr. Birken said yes.
V/M Massaro questioned Mr. Birken as to whether
"and equipment" should be after"Recreation"
Facilities"and Mr. Birken said fine.
Page 4, Line 3, after word"excavation"put a
comma, strike first "and" and put in "and
after agricultural purposes.
Page 4, Line 9, after word'for',' strike "as
parkway" and put in "park or recreational use."
Page 4, Line 16 after word"Council, delete
"shall" and put "may. " After word "for, add "up to
but not in excess of."
Page 4, Line 17, take out word "other,"
Page 4, next line, put a period after"purposes"
and take out the words "other than canals." Add
sentence, "No credit shall be allowed for canals
or drainage waterways."
Mr. Birken indicated that he has never done this before and he
is very uncomfortable with some of the changes that have been
made; when certifying this ordinance, he intends to take out
words "and correctness" before signing this.
There was a discussion by Council as to changing the wording
and Mr. Birken stated that Council might be able to put in
language in a manner consistent with a past case and citation
of that case after the word "city" on Page 3, Line 6; Mr.
Birken also stated that the County has used the same case.
Another discussion was held as to adding reference to this case
and it was decided to leave the changes stand as they were made.
C/M Disraelly MOVED approval of Temporary Ordinance #1742 on
second reading as has been amended.
V/M Massaro SECONDED the motion.
VOTE: ALL VOTED AYE.
REPORTS
49. C/W Kelch - NONE
C/M Disraelly - Discussed Land Section 7 has being
his major concern and hopes something will be forthcoming
on that, as he thinks it is most important that Council
doesn't let this rest.
He mentioned that he received a letter about the fire
protection between the County and the City and asked
Mr. Birken if it was resolved.
Mr. Birken replied that he had received another letter,
but the County wants to write the agreement. C/M Disraelly
asked if we are covered in the meantime. Mr. Birken said
we are covered as far as protection, but doesn't know if
the City needs to give 30 days notice under the agreement
or not as that is up to Council; the original agreement
covers a greater area than we need.

Mr. Gross said that we are paying them for Lakes
1 and 2 and at a later date the Fire Chief will
evaluate when construction is completed.
C/M Disraelly stated that Visual Graphics would
complete their beautification in 90 days which
was indicated to him in July. Mr. Gross said
they have put in the drainage required and they
have a contract with Tropical Nurseries; Mr.
Gross spoke to Buddy Himber at Tropical and he
said it will be done before December.
C/M Disraelly said we have received an up -date
on September 30th of our investment report and
he is concermWd about the $4,000,000.00 in CD's.
Mr. Gross indicated that there will be a new one
that will be out on Mondav ; Mr. Gross said only
$100,000.00 was not in long term investment money. C/M
Disraelly indicated that the CD for thffn expires this week
and Mr. Gross said we were already able to invest that
money at 13.5, part for 30 days and the balance at a higher
rate fc=..ADsil_ or -March....
C/M Disraelly discussed the Gas Boy Key Control
and asked if they are going to get a report; Mr.
Gross said he will have a report by the end of
next week. C/M Disraelly feels we could save a
great deal of money by using this anu if we can
control 50 cars for $2200.00, this will save us
money. He said we are now buying all our gas
from Gulf and they are delivering it to Utilities
West at the same price that we are buying it
for the Public Works compound at 93 or 94 cents.
However, the important thing is that we were
paying this other company retail price for them
to deliver.
Mr. Gross indicated that the Federal Government
would not transfer the allocation from Tamarac
Utilities to the City of Tamarac; we are trying
to get it changed over and C/M Disraelly indicated
that the important thing is that Gulf is giving
us all the gas we need at the low price.
Mayor Falck mentioned that since Senator Chiles'
representative will be here Monday, somebody
should discuss this with him and Mr. Gross said
he will bring it up to him.
Mr. Ed Gross reported that regarding our Code
Enforcement, which was transferred
over to the Police Department and in the two
weeks they have been in operation, they have
given out 21 violations and have cleaned up a
lot of areas without giving violations and
thinks that Sgt. Benis is doing a tremendous
job. Mr. Gross cited a recent incident where
a truck was illegally parked and after invest-
igating, numerous infractions of the law were
discovered besides suspecting that the owner
of the truck may have been involved in the
Williamson gang. He feels this alone makes
it worthwhile for Code Enforcement to be under
the Police Department.
Mr. Ed Gross discussed the antennas on the roof;
one was Victor de Sousa's and the other Gene
Toll's. Gene Toll did remove his repeater, but
the other one has not been removed as they have
not received permission from the FCC to put it
someplace else. The City has given them until
December 12 to remove it, which was the day
before yesterday anJ we are in a position where
we need the antenna removed; the Police Department
-12- November 14, 1980
/pe
needs an antenna to help radio transmission in the area.
Mr. Gross said he will have to ask Mr. de Sousa to
remove the antenna and asked Council if they want to
give him two more weeks to remove it.
V/M Massaro feels that the FCC will probably give
permission shortly and perhaps we could give them these
last two weeks and then they must relocate it.
Mayor Falck indicated that he does not see any objection
to -delaying it until the next Council meeting on December
2nd.
Mr. Gross said he will send a letter out immediately
telling them it must be taken down.
V/M Massaro discussed the County Commission meeting on
Tuesday and that she would like the Mayor to be there and
any other member of Council that would like to go. She
would like to go and find out what the moratorium would
do to the various cities.
Mayor Falck said he had received a lengthy telephone call
from the West Section indicating they were going to do a
report in depth on expenses which have to be documented.
The Mayor said we do have a control on expenses on the
outside where if Council goes on some sort of City business,
it is known and consent must be given. Relating to this,
the Mayor indicated that he wants to go to Tampa next
Thursday regarding meeting about Pension Plans and while
our actuaries prepare or check information, these filings
actually must be done by the city and there are still a
lot of thing we have to do in order to conform. The
Seminar is sponsored by the State in Tampa on the total
pension program at which time the newly established board
will be discussed and new rules, regulations and procedures
will be presented to the members. Mayor Falck said he did
receive an invitation to attend and the approximate expenses
would be $125.00 or $130.00.
