PRESENT: Mayor Norman Abramowitz Vice Mayor Dr. H. Larry Bender Councilman Irving Katz Councilman Henry Schumann Councilwoman Diane Glasser ALSO PRESENT: John P. Kelly, City Manager Dina McDermott, Assistant City Manager Alan F. Ruf, City Attorney Karen Jackson, Secretary ********************************************************************** l. The change of speed limit on 71st Street from 30 mph to 25 mph from Northwest 108 Terrace to Nob Hill Road. Mayor Abramowitz said the Law allows a speed limit to be lowered to a minimum of 25 mph with the following Procedure: 1. It must be passed by the governing body of the municipality by Resolution. 2. It must be passed by Broward County and will notify the City of the change and Broward County will proceed to change the signs. C/W Glasser MOVED to AGENDIZE this item for the May 1, 1991 Special Council meeting, SECONDED by C/M Schumann. EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: ALL AGREED 2. The Agreement between Broward County and the City of Tamarac for the joint funding of improvements to the intersection of Nob Hill Road and Northwest 71st Place. City Manager Kelly said improvements are being made in this intersection which has been very dangerous to anyone who has tried to access Nob Hill Road from 71 Place. He said the City has been working with the County for some time and the County is willing to put up 62.5% of the cost for these improvements. He encouraged the support of Council. Mayor Abramowitz said the City had passed the expenditure of funds less the 62.5% from the County. He said the reason for this coming back to Council is because at that time, there was no traffic light to be installed there; however, there is now a traffic light to be installed there. He said Broward County said the current Plans need to be changed to accommodate the traffic light. C/W Glasser asked if a right turn lane is being placed there and City Manager Kelly said the area proceeding south on Nob Hill Road to access 71 Place will be widened and the right turn lane heading south from 71 Place will also be widened. C/W Glasser asked if any of these streets will be disrupted while the improvements are being made and City Manager Kelly said there will be some temporary inconvenience. C/W Glasser asked if it would be feasible to correct the drainage problem in this area at the same time and City Manager Kelly said this is not the area with the drainage problem. C/W Glasser asked how long the right turn lane will be and Mayor Abramowitz said it will be approximately 100 feet or a couple house lot lengths. Discussion was held regarding the right turn lane. C/M Katz asked if the City needs to post a bond to the County for the traffic light and City Manager Kelly said there has been no indication by the County of this. City Manager Kelly said when the City Hall was built, a cash bond was put up as part of the commitment. Discussion was held regarding cash bonds. Mayor Abramowitz said the City was recently denied the traffic light in front of the Fire Station and in front of City Hall. 3. Traffic Signalization on Nob Hill Road at Northwest 71st Place. Mayor Abramowitz said the County has agreed to pay 62.5% of the costs to install a light at this location. He said the original sum that FP&L wanted for this work was $32,000.00, which has been reduced to approximately $9,000.00. City Manager Kelly said the City is responsible for notifying and paying FP&L for all relocations and for performing the road work and the County will install the traffic signal. Mayor Abramowitz said the City had approved the road work in the past at a cost of approximately $26,000.00. He said the indication from Broward County was that they would take the cost of the traffic light and put it with the road work and the County would then put up 62.5% of the traffic work and the light. He requested this be verified with Mr. Ronskavich with the County. City Attorney Ruf said the County obligates itself to pay $26,697.00 and anything over this amount is the responsibility of the City. Mayor Abramowitz suggested this item be held for the upcoming Regular Council meeting to obtain more information. 4. Construction of a sidewalk on Southgate Boulevard from Northwest 93rd Avenue to just West of Northwest 98th Avenue. Mayor Abramowitz said there was an indication by Council for a workshop on this item. V/M Bender asked if the property of the sidewalk in question belongs to the City and Mayor Abramowitz said that right-of-way belongs to the City. V/M Bender said the City would be responsible for liability insurance. Mayor Abramowitz said there is a sidewalk to the east and west of this area. C/W Glasser said on September 5, 1990, when the Referendum for sidewalks was placed on the ballot, the sidewalks were voted down. Mayor Abramowitz said the Referendum asked if the City should borrow one million dollars to put sidewalks in, which was turned down. C/W Glasser said she was taking the results of that election and in that particular precinct, it was turned down. She said she feels that when a community votes and tells the elected officials that they are not interested in those sidewalks, the City should not put a sidewalk in at this time. She said she feels that doing so would open up a Pandora's box for anyone to request such a sidewalk. City Manager Kelly said he feels just because the residents turned down the Referendum does not mean that they do not want the sidewalks but that they do not want to pay for them. Discussion was held regarding this. Mayor Abramowitz said he feels it is dangerous in this particular area. He said they either walk on the grass or on the road which is a health, safety and welfare matter. He said this sidewalk would cost $8,000.00 and this is the reason for the Contingency Fund. He said if there was any other place that was dangerous where there was a possibility of people getting hurt, he would vote in favor of a sidewalk. He said this is not a beautification function but a need for health, safety and welfare. Mayor Abramowitz said it is mandated in the City that if a developer comes in, he is required to put sidewalks in. He said there is no development in the area where this sidewalk is needed. He said he feels the voters did not say to not put sidewalks in but not to borrow one million dollars to install the sidewalks. He said this sidewalk will cost $8,000.00 and is needed for the health, safety and welfare of the residents. Further discussion was held regarding the need for the sidewalk. C/M Katz said the preceding Council did not want to vote on the sidewalks because it was not politically expedient to do so and Mayor Abramowitz said, absolutely. C/M Katz said there is a section in the Code which says that if, in fact, this is as dangerous as the Council is led to believe, the City has the right to do the work and assess the people who are directly concerned. He said he had suggested the alternative of these people sharing in the cost of the sidewalk at $80.00 times one hundred people. He said he feels the Council cannot selectively spend this money on the sidewalk. He said this cost should be distributed among the people who are affected. Mayor Abramowitz said City officials are elected to make difficult decisions and further discussion was held regarding Council decisions. Mayor Abramowitz said he does not understand why this $8,000.00 expenditure is getting so much resistance. He said if street lights are requested and warranted, the lights are approved and installed. He said if a situation is dangerous, it is the City's obligation to move forward. He said Council must approve this section of the sidewalk. V/M Bender said he would like to know if that property is common ground or not. Mayor Abramowitz said when checking with Engineering, it will be found that it does not belong to the Homeowners or the Association but belongs to the City. City Manager Kelly said he has learned to hate sidewalks. He said he recognizes the responsibility to provide for the public safety; however, there is an Ordinance that says if there is a problem with public safety with sidewalks, the City can put them in and bill the homeowners or get the homeowners to cost share. He said this will not create an ongoing commitment by the City that wherever the pressure comes from that the City has to respond to it to put a sidewalk in. Mayor Abramowitz said he does not bend under pressure and he feels it is the responsibility of the elected officials in any City to respond to a situation that represents danger. C/W Glasser said she feels that people should get what they need when it comes to a safety factor; however, there are many of these situations in the City. She said she feels that the only reason the Council has not heard more requests is due to the people being under the impression that there is no money for sidewalks. She said she is in total agreement if Council wants to consider this from the new budget. She said if Council would like to put a new Referendum on and do the appropriate public relations for this Referendum for sidewalks, she would be in total agreement. Further discussion was held regarding this. Mayor Abramowitz said the purpose of the Contingency Fund is for an expenditure for something that is not in the budget but may come up during the year. He said he disagrees with waiting for the next budget because it is the same thing these people have been hearing for years. 5. The Agreement between the City of Tamarac and the City of Sunrise for the installation of Natural Gas within the City of Tamarac. Mayor Abramowitz said in the memo from Assistant City Manager McDermott which states there is no way that the City can enter into formal negotiations to implement those suggestions without this Council asking what is needed. V/M Bender said he would like the gas line extended from where they want to place it currently to University Drive and Commercial Boulevard to have greater access to that area. He said he feels it will be better to do this now and it may generate more customers for the City in the future. C/M Katz said there have been discussions regarding the terms of the contract and the charge of 1% for collections. He asked what the net receivable would be if there is a charge. Mayor Abramowitz asked if there was an objection to the term of the contract and C/M Katz said it was questioned. Assistant City Manager McDermott said the initial notes state 20 years, but that is at the discretion of the Council. She said Sunrise was looking for 20 years and she had told them that the Tamarac City Council would need to give direction in this matter. Mayor Abramowitz said he has no objection. He said Staff will not do anything until Council tells them to do something. He asked if anyone on Council objects to the 20 years with no response. C/M Katz said he is concerned about the 1% charge for collection sales against proceeds. He asked if this will be on the total amount that they collect rather than on the sales amount only. Mayor Abramowitz said he feels the differential was in the tax structure which was 1% before the tax was added or after it was added. He said he would like to see 1% of sales rather than 1% tax money. V/M Bender said he feels strongly that the City should have 1% of the monthly gas sales. He said the proceeds leave it open for other areas that could become questionable. C/M Katz said any franchise tax which was put on top of the cost of the sales would come directly to the City. Mayor Abramowitz said it is not the cost of the sales, but the billing of the sales. V/M Bender said he feels the City should definitely go with the 1% of the monthly gas sales, not the proceeds. Mayor Abramowitz said he feels 6.2 is extremely ambiguous. C/M Schumann suggested using the words, "total gas sales". Mayor Abramowitz said there are other gas companies coming into Tamarac servicing customers which is gas sales. He said he would like to have this 1% specifically emanated from Sunrise. TAPE 2 C/M Katz asked if it would not be in the best interest of the City to negotiate the franchise agreement with any other supplier of propane gas which would be competitive with any other vendor such as the City of Sunrise so they can all start on the same foot. He said he does not know if propane vendors can give the same deal as this vendor. He asked if the City is giving a franchise billing from Sunrise, does the City get a similar payment of franchise fees from the vendors of propane gas. City Manager Kelly said there is no such agreement. He said there are six various commercial garbage franchises in the City which pay monies to the City. C/M Katz asked why they cannot initiate this same type of agreements with gas dealers. Mayor Abramowitz said there are two benefits the City will get from this, one is the ability to provide a service to the residents and the other is that there is going to be a utility tax on propane gas which will be for everyone. He said he feels that a tax that is placed on gas would include natural and propane gas. C/M Katz asked if the City is receiving the same benefits from the vendors who supply propane as this vendor selling natural gas and City Manager Kelly said not at present. Further discussion was held regarding this. Mayor Abramowitz said he feels the only way this can be accomplished is by having an 8% utility tax on any gas, natural or propane, sold in the City of Tamarac. V/M Bender said this is an agreement between Tamarac and Sunrise and they made provisions in Section 6.2 in the event Sunrise is required to collect a utility tax for the benefit of Tamarac, Sunrise shall remit to Tamarac on a monthly basis, all such tax money collected. City Attorney Ruf said the threshold question is whether the City is imposing a utility tax or a franchise fee from the City of Sunrise. He said if the City uses Sunrise's language which is a utility tax, Council can pass an Ordinance saying that the utility tax payable to natural gas is also applicable to anyone providing propane gas in the City of Tamarac. City Attorney Ruf said if the City calls this a franchise fee, and the City decides to ask for a similar situation from Peoples Gas or whoever, he feels there is a problem as to whether the City will franchise bottled water or any other service. He said this problem can be solved, if Council imposes a utility tax on both natural and propane gas. C/M Katz requested a workshop to follow up on this. City Manager Kelly said in Item 6.3, the City is waiving a franchise fee. He asked if the Council wants to impose a franchise fee on this. Mayor Abramowitz asked what the reason would be if it does not generate revenue for the City. City Attorney Ruf said he feels the City can impose a franchise fee on Sunrise and then pass an Ordinance. V/M Bender said he does not feel that this is the place to discuss franchise fees. He said for the Council to consider a source of revenue, he suggested it not be called a franchise tax. He said that is a completely different subject. Mayor Abramowitz said he feels that the purpose of this is not only to provide and allow for industrial and developers to use natural gas, but will provide revenue to the City. He said he is in favor of a utility tax on gas, natural or propane. He asked if eliminating Item 6.3 would cause a problem with the City of Sunrise. City Attorney Ruf said his advice is the City should charge a franchise fee. He said he does not feel this should be called a utility tax. He said this is the way franchises work. He said the City can impose a utility tax in addition to the franchise fee in the future. He said if Council allows this paragraph to remain, it will foreclose it for 20 years. He said he feels that legally, the Council will want a franchise fee for the City of Sunrise for this franchise. He said in the future, if a utility tax is imposed, it can be imposed on natural gas or whatever. C/M Katz asked if Sunrise can say that Tamarac is selectively asking them to pay a franchise fee and City Attorney Ruf said they will be passing it on to the consumer, who will pay it. Further discussion was held regarding the difference between a franchise fee and a utility tax. City Manager Kelly said he did not want Council to approve Item 6.3 waiving any right to collect any fee related to their ability to provide the service in the future. He said he feels this would be the same situation as what happened with FP&L. He said Tamarac can meet with Sunrise and let them know that this will not be accepted. He said he feels Sunrise will come back with a counter offer to protect themselves. C/W Glasser said at present she does not approve of a utility tax; however, there is no way of knowing where Tamarac will be going in the future and Council cannot lock themselves out from possibly having to use a utility tax. She said she feels the City should go with a franchise fee at present. C/M Schumann asked if this will be primarily industrial users at the onset and if there has been a survey done by Sunrise as to the gross usage at the start of this. City Manager Kelly said Sunrise said they would start to do a marketing study to determine the feasibility of where they would be going and should be in that process at present. C/M Schumann said he feels it is highly unlikely that there will be many residential users. City Manager Kelly said the initial area that was designated was geared toward a request from Visual Graphics to have the natural gas extended to them. He said the developers of Land Section 7 felt it would be advantageous to them. He said the first focus was geared to that area and limited to Pine Island Road to give them time to expand. He said due to this being a new effort, he would like to see Sunrise prove themselves prior to expansion. V/M Bender said he suggested going to University Drive because that is the beginning of the commercial area and Sunrise indicated that if this became profitable they would be willing to go all the way to Southgate Boulevard. Mayor Abramowitz said he feels there would be nothing wrong with an expansion. City Manager Kelly said at the last meeting, the expansion from Pine Island Road to University Drive and Commercial Boulevard to Southgate Boulevard was discussed. He said he asked if Council wants it to be to Southgate Boulevard or McNab Road. V/M Bender said he feels the City should plan ahead 100% and go to Southgate Boulevard. He said he feels that Item 6.3 should be deleted in its entirety. City Manager Kelly said he feels there is an advantage in limiting the boundaries so that Sunrise can come back to Council for expansion which gives Council some measure of control over where the expansion would take place first. C/M Katz said at present the area is being restricted to basically Land Section 7. He said there is no way to justify an increase in the area that they are going to serve because there is no one there presently who is going to use it other than Visual Graphics. Mayor Abramowitz said if there is a need or use for it and if Sunrise feels that this can become a revenue generator, he agrees with it. He said Tamarac may be giving up a means of control by doing an expansion; however, this is a win situation because the user is going to pay less for what they are using and the City will be getting some income. Mayor Abramowitz asked if Council wants Item 6.3 out of the agreement. EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: ALL AGREED Mayor Abramowitz asked if Council would like this to be a franchise fee which will give the City the ability to impose a utility tax on gas in the future. EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: ALL AGREED Mayor Abramowitz asked if Council would like the boundaries to be as follows: To the West - Levy To the East - University Drive To the South - Commercial Boulevard To the North - Southgate Boulevard EXPRESSION OF INTEREST: ALL AGREED 6. Planning Commission appointments Mayor Abramowitz said at a previous meeting, a determination was made that Council would like to interview all of the people applying for the Planning Commission. C/W Glasser suggested that Kelly Carpenter, Director of Community Development, be present as well as City Manager Kelly in a workshop meeting and have the applicants come in at intervals for their interviews. V/M Bender said he feels Council should first meet to refine what will get new people to serve on the Planning Commission. He said he feels that the City cannot get people with all of the qualifications that Ms. Carpenter recommended; however, many of these qualifications can be met. Mayor Abramowitz said there is a meeting one week from tomorrow at which time Council indicated that is when the Planning Commission appointments would be made. C/M Katz said he understands that at present there are some issues that have to go to the Planning Commission and as it currently stands, he does not know if there is a quorum for the Planning Commission to hear it. He said he feels that time is of the essence. He said he initiated the discussion in enlarging the Planning Commission and setting up criteria for applicants who are looking for appointments. Mayor Abramowitz said the current Planning Commission serves until reappointments are made. City Attorney Ruf said Ms. Carpenter prepared a comprehensive Ordinance and he Prepared a much simpler Ordinance which only deals with the increase of the Planning Commission from five to seven members. He said an emergency Ordinance can be passed by Council on a 4/5 vote at one meeting and does not have to go to two meetings. He said the other alternative would be to appoint the five members and then appoint the additional two in the near future. C/M Katz suggested that Council has whatever interviews are needed prior to the May 8, 1991 Council meeting. C/W Glasser suggested setting two meetings to interview half of the applicants on both days. Mayor Abramowitz said the appointments will then be made on May 8, 1991. C/M Katz asked if Council will agree to try to use the criteria that was established in selecting the new members and Mayor Abramowitz said that would be Council's individual preference. C/M Schumann read the professional status of the applicants. C/M Katz asked if the City has an indoctrination period prior to the new members beginning their session. Ms. Carpenter said there has never been an orientation day or week before they met on the Planning Commission; however, City Manager Kelly and she meet with each member of the Planning Commission before they first begin to discuss what their responsibilities are and the requirements of the Code and the Sunshine Law. She said there is a continuing education program at the Staff level which explains to them what a site plan is and other detailed information. Mayor Abramowitz said there will be two workshop meetings held for the interviews. C/M Katz suggested that there be a liaison from Council appointed to the Planning Commission. Mayor Abramowitz asked why this is necessary. C/M Katz said he has reviewed many reports from the Planning Department and cannot get a feel of what is being done, such as the last three zoning applications made by Leadership Housing that were unanimously denied by the Planning Commission. He said there is no mention in any of the reports as to why these were denied. Further discussion was held regarding this. C/W Glasser asked if there would be a problem if Council has a liaison to the Planning Commission and a particular item comes up in one of the districts and the person who is not the liaison wants to go to the meeting. City Attorney Ruf said there would be no problem. City Attorney Ruf said according to Code, the appointment of a liaison is the Mayor responsibility. He said there is a provision of the Code section that states the Council has the right to set up the rules and regulations governing the activities of a liaison. He said he has asked City Clerk Carol Evans to research if such rules and regulations were ever adopted or exist. He said he does not know legally what a liaison does. He said if a liaison moves too far in a certain situation, there may be legal problems. He said if a liaison simply is a conduit to Council as to what happens at the meetings, there should be no problem. Discussion was held regarding liaisons. City Manager Kelly said he is opposed to the liaison structure. He said he feels that each member of Council should have access to every board and committee in the City, especially with the Planning Commission where issues surface within districts and would be more parochial than other boards in the City. He said he feels the Planning Commission should not have a liaison so that anyone can go to the Planning Department without feeling there is a threat. City Manager Kelly said when there is a liaison, the liaison is perceived by the committee as having to listen to the liaison's suggestions and generally move in that direction. Ms. Carpenter said in the packets that are sent to Council are the minutes of the Planning Commission meetings when they are available and are quite detailed as to what happens at the meetings. She said the tapes are always available for anyone who wants to listen to a controversial issue and the Staff always prepares in its memorandum to the Planning Commission and subsequently to Council the Findings of Fact to support the position that Staff takes. She said the Planning Commission incorporates the Findings of Fact into their Motion when they agree with Staff. She said the Planning Commission tends to fail to make Findings of Fact when they disagree with the Staff's recommendations. City Manager Kelly said he has requested that when the Planning Commission agendas are prepared the City Council receives an agenda for these meetings. TAPE 3 Mayor Abramowitz said when there is a liaison to certain departments in the City, it leads to trouble. He said he is opposed to any liaison to departments in the City because when a Council person is present, the Council person is the boss of the Staff and what happens is the influence of the Council person permeates the Department Head and then permeates the Committee. He said when one is liaison to a department that primarily deals with developers, builders and people who need permission from Council in order to go forward in endeavors, the perception on the outside is bad. He said he and City Manager Kelly have had numerous arguments about the role of the City Manager versus the role of the elected officials. He said he does agree that anytime a Council member or the Mayor gets involved in certain issues, there is a subtle pressure placed on everyone. Mayor Abramowitz said he feels this is bad for the City. He said the Planning Commission was taken away prior to him coming to the City. He said Ms. Carpenter has told her many times that according to the Code, she must recommend denial to particular projects due to non-conformance. He said Staff has no right to make any deviations from the Code, but Council has that right. Further discussion was held regarding this. C/M Katz said if a Council member is not appointed as a liaison to the Planning Commission, he would expect that he would try to be present at every Planning Commission meeting. He said he hopes that with him sitting in the back, that they do not get intimidated and his presence will not influence any decision. 7. Other related items. City Manager Kelly said he received correspondence from Mayor Rosenberg and the City Manager from Hallandale regarding the distribution of the Local Option Gas Tax monies. He said it is their position that with the formula that they are using, Tamarac will get a better share. He said Mary Blasi, Finance Director, researched the figures and she substantiated that the City will probably receive approximately 57% if Tamarac joined in with the other cities. He said if Tamarac participates, they would have the 57% to get Broward County Commission to change the formula by which the distribution is made and Tamarac would benefit by going through the housing units as opposed to the population equation. He said Ms. Blasi's computation comes out to $73,000.00 and they had said $79,000.00; however, either way it is a plus for the City. City Manager Kelly said Council can go back to a workshop to decide whether or not Tamarac wants to join Broward County in the movement by the number of cities that appear to be moving in that direction. Mayor Abramowitz said on Saturday and Sunday, Veteran's Park was full of boaters using the ramp into the canal. He said most of the people using that boat ramp are not citizens of Tamarac. He asked if there is any legal way to place signage indicating they are using this at their own risk. City Attorney Ruf said the City cannot exclude people who are not Tamarac residents because government funds were used. C/M Schumann said the City cannot limit its liability with such a sign. City Attorney Ruf said he will discuss this with Chris Carsky and Susan Tillman, Risk Manager, regarding this. City Manager Kelly said he will discuss this with the South Florida Water Management District. Further discussion was held regarding this. Mayor Abramowitz said he has received many calls from organizations in the City requesting permission to utilize the Recreation Center for night meetings. He said Assistant City Manager Michael Couzzo indicated that there would be no problem in doing so. V/M Bender said he has no objection in utilizing it for night meetings because the Parks and Recreation Department has Staff present at night already. Mayor Abramowitz read a Petition from the Tamarac Athletic Federation regarding the upkeep of the facilities the City currently has such as lights on Field 5 and bathrooms at the Sports Complex. C/M Katz asked if the alternative for the truck for Public Works has been agendized for approval and Mayor Abramowitz said he feels it will be coming to Council for consideration. Discussion was held regarding this. City Manager Kelly said this will be on the Agenda for May 8, 1991. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION - Any member of the public may speak to any issue which is not agendized for public hearing at this meeting. Speakers will be limited to three minutes during this item and at public hearings. There will be a thirty (30) minute aggregate time limit for this item, and speakers are encouraged to sign up in advance with the City Clerk prior to their participation. Marv Seidel, resident of King Point, asked if the Council will be discussing the corner intersection at 71 Street and Nob Hill Road and Mayor Abramowitz said Council has decided that there is some information that has to be received regarding the financing of the street versus the traffic light. Mr. Farly, resident, said many residents of Kings Point walk to Publix and the Bank on Southgate Boulevard every day and when there is bad weather, they cannot walk on the grass and must walk on the road where there are puddles. He said there is a danger present and that area requires a sidewalk. Mr. Kaplan, resident, said he feels it is very dangerous to walk in that area without a sidewalk. Mr. Seidel said he is still not clear as to what the Referendum was about. He said he fought hard to get both parts of that Referendum approved. He said the lighting was approved but the payment for the sidewalk was turned down and Mayor Abramowitz agreed. He said C/W Glasser had stated that people in that dangerous area did not see to extend the sidewalk issue. He said if the City is hurting for the money at present, a share plan would be feasible unless the Referendum is reissued. Mayor Abramowitz said there is a proposal to widen the road and add a light on Nob Hill Road which affects Kings Point. Discussion was held regarding this. Mayor Abramowitz said the people did not vote against the borrowing of one million dollars for the financing of the sidewalks. Further discussion was held regarding this. C/W Glasser said Council is not against putting up sidewalks; however, regardless of the bond issue and the people voting against it. She said if something is wanted in the City, it will be paid for one way or another. She said the fact that the people in this area did not vote to pass the Referendum regarding sidewalks indicates that they may not be so concerned about safety as they are about money. Mayor Abramowitz said the fact that these people did not vote for it is not criteria. He said there are probably more people there that drive than walk which does not protect the people who do walk. C/W Glasser said she would be willing to put the Referendum on again for a vote by the people. With no further business, Mayor Abramowitz ADJOURNED this meeting at 10:55 a.m. CAROL A. EVANS CITY CLERK "This public document was promulgated at a cost of $155.80 or $3.46 per copy to inform the general public, public officers and employees of recent opinions and considerations of the City Council of the City of Tamarac."
