INTRODUCTION
Community Description
The City of Tamarac is centrally located in the Tri-County areas of Palm Beach,
Broward and Miami -Dade. The City occupies twelve square miles and is easily
accessible from the Sawgrass Expressway and the Florida Turnpike.
Tamarac offers all the delights of the South Florida climate with a highly desirable
business environment. Well -kept homes, lush golf courses, and plentiful modern
recreation facilities make residents happy to call Tamarac "home". From fishing,
hunting and boating in the Everglades on our western boundary, to the Atlantic Ocean
in the east, there are an abundance of water -oriented activities to engage in. Nature
trails and bike paths wind around neighborhoods and public parks adding to the
gracious living in Tamarac. The city has a state of the art Community Center, and new
Aquatic Facility, and Tamarac Elementary School was named a National School of
Excellence. All of this, and Tamarac remains one of Florida's most rapidly growing
cities having surpassed 50,000 in population.
The City of Tamarac has experienced significant growth since its incorporation in 1963.
The population has increase more than ten -fold from 5,078 in 1970 to an estimated
59,259 in 2006. A corresponding change in the demographics of the community has
also been seen. As the population grows younger, different types of services, public
facilities, commercial enterprises, employment opportunities, and educational
institutions are needed. Broward County has responded to this growth by building a
new elementary and middle school, and a new library in Tamarac. Accompanying this
rapid growth has been a transition to an active business community. Tamarac today
offers an array of employment opportunities and maintains the lowest crime rate of any
City its size in Broward County. More and more young families are moving to Tamarac
to take advantage of the high quality of life offered in the City.
Tamarac operates under a city commission/city manager form of government.
Residents elect their Mayor -at -large and each of four City Commissioners from single -
member electoral districts. Tamarac's customer -first' orientation is a secret to the City's
recent economic and community development successes. The City promises
businesses and residents a professional "customer service that is second to none."

FISCAL YEAR 2007 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN
As a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement community, the City of Tamarac submits
this proposed FY 2007 Annual Action Plan to HUD after allowing for public comment
through public notice, public review, and public hearing by the City Commission of the
City of Tamarac, Florida.

HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS (HOME)
Broward County has been designated as a consortium in the Home Investments
Partnership (HOME) program. The County receives an annual allocation of HOME
funds, which is distributed among the cities participating in the consortium. These funds
will enable members of the consortium to expand their initiatives to provide safe,
decent, and affordable housing to their residents. With the additional HOME funds, the
City can increase the resources available for home rehabilitation. An additional four (4)
homeowners can be assisted because of HOME funds.
Participation in the Broward County HOME Consortium also provides advantages
beyond additional funding. The consortium allows the cities to collaborate on best
practices, share knowledge, leverage resources, and exchange technology on the
provision of affordable housing. The ultimate and cumulative advantage of participating
in the consortium is the enhanced capacity of the consortium members to provide their
residents with affordable housing. The added values of quality housing in these cities
include the ability to attract new businesses and working families and a reduction in
code compliance issues that can translate into reduced crime and vandalism.

CONSISTENCY WITH CONSOLIDATED PLAN
The local Planning Board met June 6, 2007 at 9:00 AM to make recommendations on
the FY07 Annual Action Plan. No public comment was received during this public
hearing. Funding from SHIP, CDBG, and HOME programs will be used to help meet the
identified needs. Activities proposed in this plan are consistent with the City's 2005-
2010 Consolidated Plan.
The City's priorities identified in the Consolidated Plan are 1) Housing and 2) Public
Service. This proposed FY07 Action Plan includes projects supporting these two
priorities including the housing rehabilitation program, the Life Skills Support Group, and
the services of a full-time social worker.
OTHER ACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES
Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City continues to support affordable housing efforts by focusing on the grants
available through the CDBG, SHIP and HOME programs. By partnering with Broward
County Home Consortium and Florida Housing Finance Authority, the City is able to
refer residents for home ownership counseling and lender's programs as a way to
negate predatory lending. The City also has lender requirements which must be met in
order to fund individual requests for assistance to ensure fair housing practices.
The City currently has several incentive strategies for builders and developers working
with affordable housing programs that target very low, low and moderate households.
Incentive Strategies:
• Permits, as defined in s. 163.3164(7) and (8), for affordable housing
projects are expedited to a greater degree than other projects.
• The City expedites the processing of affordable housing permits through a
pre -application conference.
• Affordable housing projects are identified by sales price consistent with
the SHIP program's housing value limits.
• The building and Community Development Departments have employees
that serve as liaisons with developers of affordable housing to assist in the
permit process.
• Affordable housing projects are stamped "EXPEDITED."
Fair Housing
The City recently met with a fair housing consultant to complete an update to its
Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing and prepare and action plan for the City's Fair
Housing events in the upcoming year. Fair Housing is promoted during community
events, workshops, and as part of the one-on-one housing counseling at the staff level.
City of Tamarac — Action Plan FY07 11
2"" Amendment -July 2010
6/11 /2010 4:36:41 PM
The Fair Housing Action Plan consists of updating the City's Analysis of Impediments,
conducting Fair Housing educational outreach sessions, distributing Fair Housing and
Predatory Lending educational materials, conducting in partnership with other
jurisdictions a National Fair Housing Month event, a Fair Housing poster contest at the
local elementary school, and publishing several Public Service Announcements.
Lead Base Paint
The County implements and evaluates Lead -Based Paint regulation for the City of
Tamarac. Each applicant is screened through the application process by determining
whether the house was built prior to 1978. All homes built prior to 1978 are inspected
with the County's consultant Adviron Environmental System Inc. Adviron will evaluate
the home with a Visual Assessment, Paint Testing, or Risk Assessment (or Lead
Hazard Screen). The Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, also
known as Title X of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992, amended
the Lead -Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of 1971 (Lead Act), which established
the current Federal Lead -based paint requirements. The new lead -based paint
regulation implements sections 1012 and 1013 of this Act. The new regulation appears
within title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations as part 35 (24 CFR 35,105). HUD has
issued a new regulation to protect young children from the poisoning hazards of lead -
based paint in housing that is financially assisted or sold with federal government
resources. The regulation, which took effect September 15, 2000, increased the
requirements in current lead -based paint regulations. The regulation does not apply to
housing built after January 1, 1978, when lead -based paint was banned for residential
use. It is important to note that most of Tamarac' housing was built after 1978. A
pamphlet "Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home" is given to each applicant
explaining to them the effects of Lead to adults and children. All homes receiving
CDBG funds that meet the criteria for Lead -Based Paint are being tested.
More attention is placed on eliminating lead dust and the new regulation outlines clean-
up and final clearance procedures. Occupants must receive notification of lead -based
paint hazards. In general, for homes built prior to January 1, 1978, all lead -based paint
must be either stabilized or removed; and dust testing must be performed after the paint
has been disturbed to ensure that a house is lead -safe.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS
The City held a series of public hearings to develop and finalize the FY 2007 Annual
Action Plan. The first public hearing was held on June 6, 2006 during the City Planning
Board meeting to collect project proposals and input during the development of the plan.
No public comment was received. Planning Board and City staff produced a list of
recommended projects for review by the City Commission and the public. The City then
advertised a 30-day public review period to collect any additional comments and

approve the plan. The Plan was available for review in the City, 7525 NW 88th Avenue,
Tamarac, FL 33321, in the City's Clerk Office for the required 30-day period.

prevention or elimination of slums or blight. The Action Plan may also
include activities which the grantee certifies are designed to meet other
community development needs having a particular urgency because
existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or
welfare of the community, and other financial resources are not available;
2. Overall Benefits. The aggregate use of CDBG funds including Section
108 loan guaranteed during program year(s) 2007/2008 (10/1107 -

TAMARAC FY 2005 - 2010 FIVE YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN
MONITORING STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES
The City of Tamarac Monitoring Standards and Procedures cover activities and
programs funded by the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG). This
document includes standards and procedures that will be used to monitor City funded
activities in the major categories of Housing, living Environment, and Economic
Opportunities as prioritized in the FY 2005 - 2010 Five Year Consolidated Plan. The
extent to which barriers to affordable housing can be removed and minority business
outreach initiatives are effective will. also be monitored for performance purposes. The
City will monitor the extent to which its Consolidated Plan is consistent with its
Comprehensive Plan.
Sub -recipients approved for funding agreements under the CDBG program are provided
a Procedures Manual for Sub -recipients. This manual illustrates the standards and
procedures they must comply with in order to fiscally and programmatically work
effectively with the City of Tamarac. Also, the funding agreement includes, under
Exhibit "C", a timetable/schedule for projects. This is comprised of specific work tasks,
a start-up date and a completion date. Sub -recipients are also required to submit,
under Exhibit "D", Monthly Progress Reports, chronologically detailing the steps taken to
meet the quantifiable objectives enumerated in Exhibit °C". Monthly Progress Reports
are intended to provide an update on a sub -recipients progress in meeting agreed upon
objectives, they should include federally mandated reporting information, such as,
matching contributions, contracts let to minority and women owned businesses and
statistics on any relocations. In certain instances, additional information is required of
sub -recipients so that Broward County Community Development Division staff working
on behalf of the City can effectively engage in desk monitoring activities. Items such as
environmental review documents, documentation provided by escrow/title companies,
etc., necessary for determining compliance with certain policies may be requested as
necessary.
In-house staff monitors the timely expenditure of CDBG program funds on an on -going
basis. Monthly Progress Reports, reimbursement requests and IDIS draw downs are
tracked and documented regularly to ensure that HUD expenditure rates are met. If
expenditure rates fall below the norm, staff contacts sub -recipients immediately to try to
resolve any impediments to getting CDBG funds spent in a timely manner. If a sub
recipient cannot move forward in a timely manner due to circumstances beyond their
control, funds will then be reprogrammed and used for activities where they can be
expended in a more expeditious manner.
The City identified the major categories of Housing, Living Environment, and Economic
Opportunities as high priorities in the FY 2005-2010 Consolidated Plan. A few of the
activities implemented under these categories are carried out by sub -recipients. The
sub -recipients are generally non-profit organizations. Actions to be taken toward
monitoring performance in meeting goals and objectives are as noted:
City of Tamarac W Action Plan FY07 24
2"d Amendment -July 2010
6/11/2010 4:36:41 PM
1. Staff will conduct desk monitoring during all stages of each project based
on a combination of risk analysis and random sample. Documented desk
monitoring includes the following: a detailed review of the sub -recipient's
agreement, including national objectives, eligible activities, cost
reasonableness, anti -speculation, citizen and public participation and
certifications, requests for payment; ERR; procurement and contracting,
acquisition; construction bids/contracts; labor standards, weekly payrolls
employee reviews; Section 3; housing rehabilitation guidelines; home
ownership assistance guidelines; monthly progress reports; sub -recipient
agreements' closeout reports and audits. After a document such as a
monthly progress report is desk monitored, the sub -recipient is notified in
writing, as to whether the document is compliant or what corrective actions
are needed with a date for such to be completed.
2. Staff will also conduct on -site monitoring visits at least twice a year for non-
profit organizations and once a year for governmental organizations.
Additionally, the frequency of an on -site visit may be based on risk analysis
which takes into account the following: prior desk and on -site monitoring of
both the specific project being reviewed and prior projects; the knowledge
and experience of the administrative staff; staff turnover; the date of the last
on -site visit; the nature and complexity of project undertaken; project
revisions; audit concerns and complaints. During the on -site monitoring,
samples of files are reviewed and the project sites are visited to ensure
conformance with the information in the inter -agency agreement.
The City contracts with three local General Contractors. Before funds are committed,
the inspectors visit the site and prepare a work write-up. This includes a list of all items
to be constructed, repaired or replaced or replaced. A cost estimate is listed for each
item. Code violations are identified and must be included in the work write-up with an
estimated cost associated with them. The Contractor conducts on -site inspections
during the time that construction is underway to ensure that all rehabilitation and
reconstruction projects funded by CDBG funds comply with City Housing Codes and
Housing Quality Standards. Funds are not released until the project has passed a
substantial completion walk through and a certificate of occupancy is issued.
Fiscal monitoring is conducted at least twice a year for every non-profit sub -recipient.
At least one fiscal monitoring visit per year is conducted for each governmental sub -
recipient. Fiscal monitoring visits cover the following:
1. Financial management of governmental activities will be reviewed for
compliance with applicable requirements of 24 CFR 85.20 entitled
"Standards for Financial Management Systems"; CFR 85.26 "Non -
Federal Audits"; CFR 85.42 "Retention and Access Requirements for
Records".
City of Tamarac —Action Plan FY07 25
2nd Amendment -July 2010
6/11/2010 4:36:41 PM
Financial requirements for non-profit entities will be reviewed for
compliance with requirements of OMB Circular A-110, Subpart C,
Sections 110.20-110.28 and 110.50-110.53 on Financial
Management Systems.
2. Procurement procedures will be examined to determine compliance
with CFR 85.36 (governmental entities) and OMB Circular A-110,
Subpart C, Sections 110.40-110.48 (non -profits).

compliance with the sub -recipient agreement and OMB Circulars A-87
(governmental entities) and A-122 (non-profit organizations).
4. All sub -recipients expending more than $5,000 of grant funds from the
City are required to provide an organization -wide audit prepared by
an Independent Certified Public Accountant licensed by the State of
Florida, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principle
and OMB Circular -133 entitled Audits of States, Local Government
and Non -Profit Organizations" as applicable. This report will be used
as an essential tool in the monitoring of sub -recipients.
5. Prior to receipt of any grant funds, new recipients will be visited to
ensure that they have an adequate accounting system in place with
proper controls to account for all grant funds and to safeguard City
assets.
Programmatic, on -site monitoring will be conducted at least twice a year by Monitoring
Unit staff utilizing both fiscal and programmatic monitoring checklists. These checklists
are an attachment to the Monitoring Plan. Additional monitoring visits may be
conducted if needed to review non-profit sub -recipients. Governmental sub -recipients
will be monitored at least once per year. Monitoring visits may be conducted for new
sub -recipients when they are initially funded.
They will also be monitored once sufficient progress has been made with their scope of
services so that a valid judgment can be made, yet early enough to avoid major
problems. Monitoring Unit staff will:
1. Analyze sub -recipients to determine strengths and weaknesses.
2. Monitor actual performance against the activities timetable in the sub -
recipient agreement.
3. Make sure all documents/reports are submitted to the Community
Development Division in a timely manner.
4. Review client files for eligibility as applicable.

program weaknesses.
6. Ensure that sub -recipients are engaged in minority business outreach
efforts and comply with equal opportunity requirements.
7. Ensure that activities funded comply with the City of Tamarac
Comprehensive Plan.
Fallowing the monitoring visit, a monitoring report listing the results of the visit is
submitted to the Division Director for his comments. This report will include all findings,
concerns and corrective actions. Once the Division Director has had the opportunity to
provide his comments on the monitoring report, a Monitoring Letter is presented to the
sub -recipient under the Director's signature outlining findings, concerns, and specific
recommendations for improvement along with accompanying deadlines as appropriate.
At the end of each year, effectiveness reviews are done, comparing actual
accomplishments in each of the Consolidated Plan Priorities with projections in the
Annual Action Plan.
