The following is a Verbatim Transcript of the Public Hearing/ Special Meeting on the above named subject. City Attorney Henning: If everybody could have their seats, this apparently is not going to take very long. I would like to have your attention, please. My name is Jon Henning, I am the City Attorney for Tamarac and, apparently, there is a great deal of flu and other problems going around town and we are unable to have a quorum here this morning for this City Council Meeting and Public Hearing. I would like to still be on the record and read into the record the announcement of the meeting for today. It's dated "February 15, 1985. It is a Notice of Public Hearing/ Special Meeting, City of Tamarac, Florida. The City Council of the City of Tamarac, Florida will hold a Public Hearing at it's Special Meeting on Tuesday, February 19, 1985 at 9:00 A.M. in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 5811 NW 88 Ave., Tamarac, Florida.

Discussion will involve the impact on individual user charges. A discussion will also be held regarding the Broward County 201 Facilities Plan Update. The public is encouraged to attend." That is signed Carol E. Barbuto, Assistant City Clerk. This apparently was advertised for today as well as noticed. First of all, I want to apologize to everybody that is present that we can not formally go forward with this meeting today and I would like to announce that the Public Hearing ... and I understand that there is an urgency here to conduct this meeting. We have a Workshop Meeting tomorrow morning at 8:30 and I would like to announce ... or I am announcing that this meeting will be postponed until 9:30 tomorrow morning. I would like to take this opportunity for anybody who is present today that would like to go on record to give us your name and who you are representing and, if you can not be here tomorrow, if there are any statements that you would like to make, we will be happy to place them on record and consider them. Is there anybody in the room that is here today, and there are about eleven of us, I guess, plus the dais and the Clerks. Is there anybody in the room here today who could join us tomorrow morning at 9:30? Member of Audiences Who could? Mr. Henning: Who could. Those of us that could join us if you plan to or wish to be back tomorrow. I know this is a little bit unusual since we do not have any of the Council members here present today. We do have Elly Johnson, the City Manager, at the dais. I would like to go around the room, just for the record and have you introduce yourself and state if you are here from an agency or a private citizen of Tamarac, whatever the case may be, so we can have a record of today's attendance. - 1 - 2/19/85 /pm Mr. Henning: And, if there is any of you, after we have had attendance, wish to make any comments into the record if you cannot be here tomorrow, we will entertain those comments at that time. Can we just start over here? Bob Jahn is the... Bob Jahn: I am the Building Official. Bill Greenwood: Bill Greenwood, Utilities Director/City Engineer. Gerry Faess: I am Gerry Faess, representing CH2M Hill, the City's Consultant on this project. Robert Shair: I am.

Mr. Henning: I apologize to the residents and to the experts that have joined us here. Is there anybody that wishes to place any- thing on the record that will not be able to attend tomorrow and wishes their comments known? Hearing no requests, let me just state for the record that I have the understanding that there is an urgency to conduct this meeting, that we will attempt to have our three member quorum, at least three members of the five member Council tomorrow morning at 9:30. I think that we should go off the record for a moment and discuss if there is any problem with the meeting room and the timing. We have Planning Commission tomorrow, they start at 10 o'clock and I understand, Elly, if you might comment, that there is a Broward County Environmental Quality Control Meeting tomorrow night that we had hoped to conduct this meeting prior to going to that meeting. Is that what staff is requesting? City Manager Johnson: Yes. Mr. Henning: The 21st, the County Commission has a Public Hearing in the day time around 10 o'clock. Member of Audience: The E.Q.C.B. meeting is tomorrow night. Were you alludingto the County Commission meeting or the Environmental Quality Control Board? Mr. Henning: I was told ear -tier this morning that there is an E.0.C.B. meeting tomorrow night and that one of the reasons for setting this over just one day was in hopes of completing our Public Hearing before we go on to the E.Q.C.B. meeting. Member_ of Audience: I am not aware of the E.Q.C.B. meeting but._._I am aware that the County Commission, Thurs(lay, at it's Public Hearing, does have this item scheduled for approval but not for Public Hearing. It is an approval item on the agenda. Mr. Henning: Bill, are you sure about the ... I do not mean to question you but apparently there is some question, is the meeting, you are planning on going to the E.Q.C.B. meeting tomorrow night? Is that it? - 2 - 2/19/85 /pm Mr. Greenwood: Let me check my diary. Mr. Henning: Do we wish to take any consideration about the Planning Commission meeting tomorrow at the end? Do we think that this will take more than 30 or 40 minutes or do you want to make it earlier? We have the Pre -Agenda Meeting at 8:30. I do not think we should plan less than 30 minutes for that meeting. We could make this 9 o'clock if you think .... City Manager Johnson: I have no problem with 9 o'clock, Jon. 9 o'clock, we could be out of here by 10 o'clock. Mr. Henning: Is 9 o'clock a problem for anybody? All right, then let me revise my Notice and let us say that tomorrow, that this Public Hearing is being postponed until a regular meeting which will be held tomorrow in this room at City Hall, 5811 NW 88 Ave., City Council Chambers, Tamarac City Hall, and will be conducted on February 20th at 9 o'clock in the morning. Jim Godin: There is a Pre --Agenda Meeting scheduled at 8:30 tomorrow morning and a Planning Commission... Mr. Henning: Yes, will be here at 10:00. Well, we figure we can wrap up the Pre -Agenda and get on to this meeting so that the Planning Commission can use this room. This concludes my remarks as far as the Public Hearing is concerned that was scheduled this morning at 9 o'clock. I, Jon M. Henning, City Attorney, hereby Certify that I have reviewed this transcript and it accurately represents the announcements and discussions that were held in Council Chambers on 2/19/85. P ry'M.
