WOODLANDS NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
October 8, 2010
City of Tamarac, FL City Commission

Tamarac, FL 33321
For the attention of City Commissioners
Dear City Commissioners,
On October 6th, 2010 at 7:00 PM, the Woodlands Neighborhood Improvement District, The
District, held a meeting at the Woodlands Section 2 clubhouse. Chairman Mike Jula, Vice
Chairman Leonard Hixon, members Toni Gelman, Larry Torn, Taylor White and William R. Scott
were present. Member Ed Browns seat remains vacant, as he has been unable to fulfill city
requirements.
This letter shall serve to request that the City Commission, at its earliest opportunity, remove
Mr. Lenard Mixon from the "District" Board. After a presentation by Assistant City Manager
Michael Cernech on what is expected when you are appointed to serve on a City Board;
Chairman Mike Jula read into the record the legal definition of Breach of Fiduciary Duty. Larry
Torn made a motion, and 2nd by Taylor White to send a letter to the City Commission
recommending removing Leonard Hixon from the board of the District. The motion passed 5 -0,
over Mr. Hixon's objection, who did not vote.
The District board would also request that the City Commission add two Board members to fill
the Ed Brown seat and the Leonard Hixon seat, once he is removed from the Board. In open
discussion, Chairman Tula nominated Wallace Siegel, 5010 Banyan Lane and Joel Davidson, 4608
Norfolk Pine Drive to fill the 2 openings; with no other Board members nominating anyone else.
Both candidates were in the audience and gave brief descriptions of their qualifications
indicating they would be honored to fill the vacant positions.
We would hope these changes can be made so that we can have a full seven person board in
place for the next meeting scheduled for January, 2011.
Respectfull ,
Mike Jula, Chairman
