COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION

Community Description
• The City of Tamarac is a full -service City offering its residents a variety of services
and programs. Located in central Broward County, Tamarac is ideally located with
easy access to major highways, shopping, entertainment, and leisure activities. The
City was incorporated in 1963 by developer Kenneth E. Behring, and has grown from
an active retirement community to a City that now boasts an average resident age of
45 and greater diversity than ever before. As the City's new tag line states, Tamarac is
"The City for Your Life" — not only is it your city from the moment you are born, it also
provides the quality and type of life you deserve throughout your lifetime. The City
created the Tamarac Historical Society during FY 2009.
In Tamarac, residents can golf, play tennis, swim, or maybe just enjoy a quiet picnic by
the water. Lush green lawns and inviting canals frame Tamarac's diverse
opportunities to make a home. Whether people seek the convenience and economy
of a condo flat or want the spaciousness and luxury of a large home with a golf course
view, they are likely to find it in Tamarac.
Tamarac is a safe city. Its crime rate is the lowest for any Broward County municipality
or more than 60,000 residents. Tamarac's Parks and Recreations Department
provides year-round recreation programs for every age group. Softball, tennis, roller
hockey, senior activities and events, boat launch, fishing, picnic and shaded
playground facilities are offered at four city -owned and operated Parks.
• A business -friendly city government, immediate inter -modal transportation access, an
abundant professional and skilled workforce, and an unparalleled lifestyle attract new
businesses and industries. With more than 60,000 residents spread across its 12-
square miles, the City of Tamarac is one of the densest cities in Broward County.
Currently there are 1,641 businesses registered within 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. The City of Tamarac employs approximately 340 people in
its various departments. 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."
Tamarac is also determined to become a High Performance Organization (HPO) with a
long-term commitment to both its employees and residents. The City has undertaken
the intense process for organizational self -assessment through the Sterling Criteria,
which is a nationally recognized world -class standard for organizational excellence.

NARRATIVE OF
ANNUAL PERFORMANCE
• City of Tamarac 11 FY 2009 - 2010 CAPER
Annual Assessment
For fiscal year 2009-2010 the City was awarded $420,536 in CDBG funds from HUD. •
The funds were made available to the City after October 1, 2009. The allocation was
used to fund those activities and priorities herein described, according to and
consistent with the City's Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan. All activities
undertaken by the City will benefit very low, low and moderate income persons.
The Consolidated Plan addressed the City's needs via three goals and related
and corresponding priorities that are summarized below:
Goals
The statutes for the HUD CDBG grant programs set forth three basic goals which
are closely related to the major commitments and priorities of the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Each of these goals
must primarily benefit very low, low and moderate income persons within the
context described below:
1. To provide suitable living environment
2. To provide decent housing
3. To expand economic opportunities
This five-year consolidated plan incorporates priorities and programs addressing
these goals. •
OVERALL GOALS:
The following goals show how the City will carry out is mission:
SPECIFIC GOALS: Housing and Homeless
❖ Provide housing assistance. Home Rehabilitation (minor or major) of
owner -occupied properties owned by low -moderate income households,
including barrier free accessibility.
As program funding and housing needs fluctuate over the next five years,
the City will continually monitor the immediate needs of its residents to
determine the best activities to address the need as part of the City's Annual
Action Plans.
❖ Preserve existing housing stock through assistance by the Code
Enforcement Division and Building Department.
❖ Encourage the construction of high quality affordable rental and owner -
occupied housing.
❖ Demolish unsafe structures as identified.
❖ On -going coordination for services and housing for the homeless.
City of Tamarac 12 FY 2009 - 2010 CAPER 0
SPECIFIC GOALS: Community Development:
• ❖ Community Self -investment in low/moderate income areas.
V. Facilities/services to address critical social needs.
❖ Facilities/services for seniors, children and persons with special needs.
SPECIFIC GOALS: Emergencies
❖ Governmental response to emergency/life threatening situations.
Obiectives
The overall program objective is driven by several factors including (1) the age
and condition of the residential developments in the City; (2) the need for
community facilities for low/moderate income households, particularly elderly
households; and (3) the need to provide Public Services.
The City of Tamarac continues to insist on high quality housing development, as
well as quality maintenance of the City's existing housing stock by residents.
However, the City must insure that developers provide affordably high quality
housing for the low/moderate income residents of the City. This objective can
be achieved over the next five years through the following strategies:
• Provide funding assistance to maintain the supply of affordable housing
• through rehabilitation of older units.
Provide first-time homeownership opportunities for low and moderate
income residents.
• Provide public services through Senior Life Support Skills, Information
and Referral, On -going Case Management, and Senior Support and Volunteer
Programs.

Other Actions / 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 Housing Finance Authority, the City is able to refer
residents for home ownership counseling and lender's program as a way to negate
predatory lending.
The City currently has several incentive strategies for builders and developers, 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."
With the increase in housing prices during 2006, 2007 and 2008 and lingering storm
related damages from the 2005 Hurricane season, the City's application in -take
numbers increased dramatically. Residents found themselves more in need of
assistance than ever as their finances were suffering along with their properties.
An Affordable Housing Advisory Committee was created to review incentive strategies
previously approved. The Committee upheld all approved incentive strategies and will
be working on additional incentives in the near future to further benefit affordable
housing programs, developments and recipients.
Fair Housing
During the summer of 2007 the City hired a consultant to prepare an Update to 2004
Analysis of Impediments and work with the City to conduct Fair Housing activities
over the next few years. H.O.P.E. Inc. provides various activities such as: education,
outreach, poster contests, and marketing of the City's Fair Housing practices as
City of Tamarac 22 FY 2009 - 2010 CAPER
defined within the consultant's scope of work. The City provides information on HUD
• fair housing and lending practices as part of homeownership materials, through
community outreach and education, and attendance at Homeowner Association
meetings, Condominium Association meetings, meetings with various external groups
and associations interested in housing programs.
The following Fair Housing activities benefited Tamarac residents:
For FY 2009/2010 twenty-one Fair Housing Outreach sessions were held throughout
Broward County.
Monthly Fair Housing workshops are held throughout Broward
County on a monthly basis and is open to all residents.
Each month residents from Tamarac attended a workshop
or called into the H.O.P.E Hotline for assistance.
On -Going Posting of H.O.P.E. Inc. Discrimination hotline on City's
website.

Development and Housing Task Force, the City and its
Housing staff participate in workshops on Foreclosure
Prevention, Homebuyer Opportunities and other housing
related activities. During these events a Fair Housing
agency is included representing.
Summary of Analysis by H.O.P.E. Inc.
In review of key impediments identifying those systematic or structural issues which
limit the availability for people to take advantage of the full range of fair housing choice
which should be available to them in the City of Tamarac, this analysis is a
comprehensive evaluation of the barriers that continue to inhibit such choice and offers
recommendations considered necessary toward improvements. This analysis
recommends specific measures to combat the identifiable barriers to fair housing
choice in light of community population increase and demographic changes as well as
the limited available affordable housing opportunities. The following impediments
identified are also considered in relation to data and previous information gathered
regarding specific housing and community facts. In sum, key impediments offer for
relevant data to be included demonstrating that specific groups have been affected by
limited affordable housing choice and seek to be remedied with heightened affirmative
• marketing and monitoring practices including outreach and testing projects focused
City of Tamarac 23 FY 2009 - 2010 CAPER
toward both housing providers and community members. Overall, disparities and lack
of knowledge of discriminatory housing and lending practices offer a disparate impact •
within the potential housing market for different groups of community members and as
such require actions to be taken to reach measurable results in order to ensure the
City's commitment to ensure fair housing initiatives and the provision of safe, decent,
and affordable housing and neighborhoods for all their residents.
Identification of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
As the CDBG program administrator for the City of Tamarac, FL, Community
Redevelopment Associates of Florida, Inc. completed an Analysis of Impediments to
Fair Housing Choice for the City of Tamarac, Florida in February of 2004. The study
identified some impediments to fair housing choice in Broward County, and initiatives
recommended in addressing the impediments. HOPE, Inc. has reviewed the
impediments and concludes that the Impediments and recommendations identified by
CRA continue to be current and relevant.
The following is recommended as the 2007 updated/revised list of identified
impediments to fair housing choice based on H.O.P.E., Inc's review of the data on the
2004 Al.
1. There is limited to inadequate knowledge of fair housing laws and their
application by the general public, as well as at the municipal level.
2. Neighborhoods in Broward and Tamarac remain starkly segregated by race.
3. Protected classes of persons, families with children and persons with
disabilities, in particular, face exceptional hurdles in finding adequate
housing in areas they desire due to non-compliance with fair housing laws.
4. Disparities exist in mortgage lending between racial groups.
5. There is an indicated need of more support for fair housing laws across
Broward County.
Areas of minority concentration are block group 503.05.1 (73% non -white) and
601.06.3 (64% non -white) as documented by the 2000 census. These areas border
Commercial Boulevard between NW 64 Ave and Rock Island, and Rock Island to U.S.
441.
A copy of the Update Analysis of Impediments was previously sent to HUD, local
FHEO office.
Lead -Based Paint
The County implements and evaluates Lead -Based Paint regulation for the City of
Tamarac. Each applicant is screen through the application process by determining
whether the house was built prior to 1978. All homes build prior to 1978 is 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). County will fund lead testing through the County's CDBG housing •
City of Tamarac 24 FY 2009 - 2010 CAPER
rehabilitation programs. 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.
• The City of Tamarac has an Agreement for Services with a Lead Based Paint
Inspection company as well as an Asbestos Testing company to perform inspections to
all homes being rehabilitated and purchased using City assistance funds.
Institutional Structure
All Housing Assistance Programs are administered in-house by City staff. Since 2007
the City has processed all in house who provides conducts all services necessary to
carry out the intent of each funding source such as: monitor the distributions, provide
income certification, prepare reports and offer direct assistance to the residents of
Tamarac. The City is a part of the HOME Consortium through Broward County;
however, all delivery of service is done by the City's Housing Division.
The receipt of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds resulted in the hiring
of two additional temporary staff members to process applications and conduct income
certifications. These two positions will expire November 2010 and will only be
extended if additional NSP funds are received by the U.S Department of Housing and
Urban Development.
The Housing Division reports to the Director of Community Development. The
Community Development Department consists of four Divisions: Housing, Planning
• and Zoning, Code Compliance, and Business Revenue.

Continuum of Care
The City will work with the County, and local non-profit social service and housing •
providers to fully support the countywide Continuum of Care system to assist homeless
families and individuals. The City participates attends regular Homeless Initiative
Partnership meetings to further the availability of programs to the homeless population
of Broward County.
Leveraging Resources
Leveraging is utilized by the City as an excellent tool to better meet the needs of its low
and moderate income persons by increasing the total number of dollars available per
person. As a SHIP grantee, the City of Tamarac has been successful in leveraging
CDBG dollars against SHIP dollars to not only increase the total dollars available to the
applicant, but to assist certain moderate income persons' not eligible under CDBG
income criteria. The City leveraged the following FY 2009/2010 funds to benefit
low/moderate income households:
• SHIP funds in the amount of $41,791.00
• HOME funds in the amount of $140,982.00
Broward County has been designated as a HOME Consortium by the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and receives an annual allocation of
HOME funds on behalf of the participating Consortium cities. These funds have
enabled members of the consortium to expand their initiatives and resources to •
provide safe, decent and affordable housing to the residents of the participating cities.
The City of Tamarac is a part of the Consortium, and received $140,982 for fiscal year
2009/2010. With HOME funds, the City will increase the financial resources available
for specific housing needs.
Other temporary funds (DR[ & NSP) were also leveraged when the activity allowed.
Monitoring Standards and Procedures
The City of Tamarac CDBG program will be monitored under Broward County
Monitoring Plan. Key elements of the monitoring plan are:
The Broward County Community Development Division Monitoring Plan is applicable for
all Community Planning and Development (CPD) grant programs such as the
Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), the HOME Investment
Partnerships Program (HOME) and the Emergency Shelter Grant Program (ESGP).
This plan includes standards and procedures that were used to monitor Division funded
activities in the major categories of Housing, Living Environment, and Economic
Opportunities as prioritized in the FY 2005 - 2010 Five Year Consolidated Plan. A new
Five Year Consolidated Plan for FY 2011-2015 was recently completed. The extent to
which barriers to affordable housing can be removed, minority business outreach •
City of Tamarac 26 FY 2009 - 2010 CAPER
initiatives are effective, and Broward County Comprehensive Plan requirements will
• also be monitored for performance purposes.
Sub -recipients approved for funding agreements under any one of the CPD grant
programs 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 Broward County. Also, the funding agreement
includes 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,
Monthly Progress Reports, chronologically detailing the steps taken to meet the
quantifiable objectives enumerated. 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 County staff 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 CPD grant program funds, especially
CDBG 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.
Broward County identified the major categories of Housing, Living Environment, and
Economic Opportunities as high priorities in the Consolidated Plan. Most of the
activities implemented under these categories are carried out by sub -recipients. The
sub -recipients are either non-profit organizations or governmental organizations. These
major categories cover all of the grant programs, CDBG, HOME, and ESGP
Anti -displacement and Relocation Plan
The City of Tamarac has incorporated and will comply with the acquisition and
relocations requirements of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, and implementing regulations 49 CFR
24: and it has in effect and is following a residential anti -displacement and relocation
assistance plan required under Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974, as amended, in connection with any activity assisted with
funding under the CDBG and HOME programs.

Introduction
The citizen participation component of all Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funded activities for the City of Tamarac is an important element of our Community
Development Program and, if effectively implemented, can yield substantial benefits to
the City both in assessing need and establishing priorities.
As a recipient of Department Housing and Urban Development (HUD) CDBG funds, the
City of Tamarac is required to adopt a Citizen Participation Plan to comply with the
provisions of 24 CFR Part 91: Consolidated Submissions for Community Planning and
Development Programs; Subpart B: Citizen Participation and Consultation.
These requirements are designed especially to encourage participation by low and
moderate income persons. Additionally, the City will take whatever actions are
appropriate to encourage the participation of all its citizens, including minorities and
non-English speaking persons, as well as persons with mobility, visual or hearing
impairments.
In response to the above requirements of 24 CFR Part 91, Subpart E, the City of
Tamarac Consolidated Plan Citizen Participation Plan will be implemented in a manner
that encourages citizen participation in the development of the consolidated plan, any
amendments to the plan, and the performance report, with appropriate information
• furnished to citizens.
•
The Citizen Participation Plan provides for the implementation of practices that
encourage resident participation in the development of the Consolidated Plan, any
amendments to the Plan, the Annual Action Plan, and the Consolidated Annual
Performance Evaluation Report. The Citizen Participation Plan was prepared with the
opportunity for resident comment.
Information to be Provided
Before the City adopts a consolidated plan, the City will make available to citizens,
public agencies, and other interested parties information that included the amount of
assistance the City expects to receive and the range of activities that may be
undertaken, including the estimated amount that will benefit persons of low and
moderate income and the plans to minimize displacement of persons and to assist any
persons displaced. This information will be included in a summary of the proposed
consolidated plan, which the City will publish for comment.
The summary will be published in the Sun Sentinel or Miami Herald, newspapers of
general circulation, and also may be published in other local newspapers at the City's
discretion.
CDBG Citizen Participation Plan 3
The summary will describe the contents and purpose of the consolidated plan, and will
state that copies of the entire proposed plan may be examined at the Community •
Development Department, Housing Division, located at 7525 NW 88 Avenue, Tamarac,
FL 33321, and at other government offices, libraries or public places that the City may
deem appropriate.
The summary will be published to allow a period of not less than 30 days to receive
comments from citizens on the proposed consolidated plan before the plan is finalized.
The City will consider any comments or views of citizens received in writing, or orally at
public hearings, in preparing the final consolidated plan. A summary of these
comments or views, and a summary of any comments or views not accepted and the
reasons therefore, will be attached to the final consolidated plan.
Notification of the availability of the consolidated plan as adopted will be published in

and to respond to proposals and questions. The hearings will be conducted at a
minimum of two different stages of the program year. Together, these hearings will
address housing and community development needs, development of proposed
activities, and review of program performance. In order to obtain the views of citizens
on housing and community development needs, including priority non -housing
community development needs, at least one of these hearings will be held before the
summary of the proposed consolidated plan is published for comment. The City is not
required to hold a public hearing to amend the consolidated plan, although one of the
public hearings could accommodate such a discussion.
Adequate advance notice of each hearing will be given to citizens, with sufficient
information published about the subject of the hearing to permit informed comment.
Hearing Notice
Each public hearing notice will be published in the Sun Sentinel or Miami Herald,
newspapers of general circulation, and also may be published in other local newspapers
at the City's discretion. Each notice will be published in advance of the public hearing
date.

Hearing Location(s)
Public hearings will be held at times and locations convenient to potential and actual
beneficiaries, and with accommodations for persons with disabilities. Public hearings

public hearings, in preparing the final consolidated plan, amendments of the plan or the
performance report. A summary of these comments or views, and a summary of any
comments or views not accepted and the reasons therefore, will be attached to the
adopted consolidated plan, amendments of the plan, or performance report.

consolidated plan, the City will provide citizens with reasonable notice of the change
and an opportunity to comment on it. A summary of the proposed amended
consolidated plan will be published in the Sun Sentinel or Miami Herald, newspapers of
general circulation, and also may be published in other local newspapers at the City's
discretion.

CDBG Citizen Participation Plan 5
Criteria for Amendment
The City will amend its approved plan whenever it makes one of the following decisions: •
1. To carry out an activity, using funds from any program covered by the
consolidated plan (including program income), not previously described in the
action plan; or
2. To make substantial change in its allocation priorities or a substantial change in
the method of distribution of funds; or
3. To substantially change the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an
activity.
Substantial Change Amendment
The City will apply the following criteria in determining whether a change in an activity or
project represents a substantial change:
A. Cancellation of an activity or project previously described in the
consolidated plan.
B. The movement of funds from one eligible activity to another by more than
25% of the costs of the total projects involved as projected in the
consolidated plan. Projects included in the consolidated plan whose
