For fiscal purposes, projects are projected to be funded through A - surplus and current revenue, or B - sale of bonds, as follows: City Hall $500,000 General Obligation Bonds Water & Sewer System - Revenue Bonds Fire Stations & Equipment 260,000 General Obligation Bonds Parks & Facilities 400,000 Park & Recreation Fund plus Federal Grants Drainage Improvements 12,500 Court & Meeting Hall Facilities 125,000 Street Repaving 225,000 Canal Equipment 20,000 Current Revenues Current Revenues Current Revenues Current Revenues ..2_ TABLE OF CONTENTS P. 3 & 4 Assumptions and Suppositions for Forecasts P. 5 Last of Capital Improvements Proposed P. 6 thru 8 Schedule of Proposed Improvements by Year P. 9 thru 21 Supporting Information, by Project by Year, Detailing 1.

I have therefore planned for capital improvements utilizing the following assumptions and suppositions; I. Population growth will be at a straight line rate of 3500 dwelling units x 2.2 residents per unit, or 7700 population.in- crease per year. 11. Average density of development will be 7.5 units per acre, resulting in increase of 466 acres per year of developed area. III. By Fiscal 1976-1977 growth will have reached a point to require a second fire station to adequately serve the increased developed areas. IV. Commercial streets lying within the corporate limits (Prospect Road, Commercial Boulevard, State Road V , and University Drive)all are a part of either the County or State Road system and will therefore be maintained by the County or State. The City will be responsible only for maintenance of the median strips and swale areas. Residential streets will require patching and resurfacing at City expense. _4- V. Although we are discussing and in process of negotiation relating to acquisition of some of the capital improvements identified in the report, it is not contemplated that the acqui- sition will be consummated nor City accept any responsibility for maintenance prior to fiscal year 1973-1974 VI. While there has been discussion relative to acquisition of the 6000 N. University complex as a City Hall, there has been no final agreement reached. I am therefore assuming that our.pro- posal to Leadership Housing Inc., will be accepted and that the voters will approve acquisition of the 6000 complex for use as a City Hall. I am also assuming that the initial fire station and court/meeting hall will be constructed on the 6000 complex property. VII. Costs of operation and maintenance of streets, canals, drainage, City Hall., etc., are routine items included in our yearly operating budgets. I include in' this report, estimates requiring advance planning for major facilities such as fire stations, parks,, etc. VIII. While we have made no plans for City owned and operated parks and recreation facilities, we have an ordinance relating to such facilities. To date, the City has received in excess of $40,000 from developers for these purposes. I am forecasting the same revenue for the succeed- ing five years, and forecasting the expenditures for the purpose for which it is collected. IX. Equipment of relatively short life (5-10 years) used for routine operations is not included in the capital improvements budgets, but rather as a yearly item in the operating funds budget. Such items would be police vehicles, public works vehicles and equipment, etc. r -5- LIST OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED: I. To be acquired at no cost a) Streets, drainage facilities b) Canals II.

To be parchased d) Park sites III. To be constructed IMIM 1973-74 I. Acquired at no cost a) Street and drainage facilities completed during present and past years. It is anticipated that, prior to November 1, 197211 engineering inspections will have been completed, any sub -standard conditions corrected, and Catty will accept dedications of all existing streets and drainage facilities. It is also anticipated that, due to our present procedure of approval of engineering, and inspection of improvements as built, we will accept future streets and drainage facilities as they are completed. 1. Necessity of acquisition is obvious. As facilities have been dedicated by plat, and as the developer will in time relinquish all responsibility for maintenance, the City must, after properly assuring that improvements meet specifications, accept them as City facilities. 2. Cost of facilities is no factor as they are designed, constructed by and costs born by developer, then transferred to the City. 3. 'Method of financing - not applicable 4. Estimated annual cost of maintenance As the oldest streets in the City are now approaching ten years of age, we are faced with the necessity of planning for a continuing resurfacing requirement.,, We are therefore faced with four repetitive mainte- nance functions which will increase as additional streets are constructed and turned over to the City. The four functions are (a) repaving (residential streets only) (b) patching (c) median maintenance (d) swale maintenance (commercial streets only) M - 10 - At present development has resulted in the follow- ing .completed. i.mpt-ovements. Residential streets 80 miles Commercial streets 10 miles Medians 12 miles The largest maintenance item, repaving, costs approximately $9,000 per mile. For forecast purposes, I am proposing budgeting for three miles of repav- ing in fiscal 1973-74, increasing by one mile per year for subsequent years. Patching medians and swale maintenance is prgperly a routine function of the Public Works Department and included in their yearly budget. It is antici- pated one three-man crew will be requested for these functions and be included in the General Fund operating budget. As this is a repetitive item, it will be recognized, but not detailed for subsequent years. b) Canals and drainage facilities completed during present and prior fiscal years. As with streets, it is anticipated that existing and completed canals and drainage facilities will be accepted by the City. 1. Necessity of ac uisicion The same obvious requirements for acceptance as prevails for completed. streets. 2. Cost again is no factor. 3. Method f inancn is not applicable. 4. Estimated annual cost of maintenance There presently are approximately 45 maples of canals within the City. For this fiscal year, we have budgeted approximately $40,000 for canal maintenance. Of this, $12,.500 was received from the State as a grant. It 3s anticipated this program will continue. - l0a .. It is planned that personnel responsible for canal cleaning will also perform necessary routine work on drainage systems. Again, it is planned that budget for one three -.man crew plus supplies will be included in the General Fund operating budget. As this is a repetitive item, it will be recognized, but not: detailed for subsequent years. 11. Tobe-purchased b) City Hall. 1. Necessity We are presently occupying an inadequate facility owned by the Developer with a relatively short term lease, and no agreed purchase rights. It is considered in the best interests of the City that we acquire our own facility. 2. Cost Estimate The City Council has made a tentative offer to Leadership Housing Inc. of. $500,000 for the 6000 N. University Drive complex. For purposes of this report, I am assuming that the offer will be accepted and that the voters will approve the purchase. While some relatively minor costs of modification are anticipated, it is believed these should be funded From current revenues as part of our operational budget. 3. Method of Financing While it may be possible to finance the City Hall acquisition from "surplus", for safety I am forecasting that it will be financed thru the sale of General Obligation Bonds. 4. Operation and Maintenance Costs of operation and maintenance will be included in our General Fund operating budget. d. Fire Fi hti.n g Equipment 1.. Necessity While there has not been an official census taken resulting in mandatory establishment of a City fire department, I believe there is no question as to the desirability for this operation. I am therefore forecasting establishment of this function for fiscal 73-74. 2. Cost Estimates A ball park estimate is that one pumper at $30,000, one brush truck at $15,000, one Chief's czar $3000; and $12,000 of supporting equipment will be required. ($60,000). 3. Method of Financing It is proposed that: sa general obligation band indenture be: passed to fund. the Fire Department plus planned City 13a1.1 facilities. The total. for planned improvements to be financed by sale of bonds comes to $760,000 which would re.sulL in an approximate levy of .3 mill, based on $200,000,000 non-exempt assessed valuation, 'a% 20 year financing. 4. Maintenance ,and operation With the formation of a Fire Department will come the requirement for staffing and operational casts. Provision of a 24 'hour '7 day, three-man crew will, require, 1.2 men. This, plus other opera- tional and maintenance costs results in a forecast budget .figure of $1.00,000 per year. M= e) Parksites 1. N e c e s s J, t V- To rep(--w-at from the assumptions and forecasts, we hav(�'-i no pLins for parks, but have an obli- gation du.e to of legislation requ.ire- ing deve.lopers under certain conditions to donate func.].s to a Rarks & R&creation Fund. We must ex-pendfunds received for those purposes. It is planned. sites will he purchased one year and d(z,,veloped t-he nc': xt.. 2 & 3.Cost & Nlethot�'l of' Vinanc2.n We have received $40,000+ to da,t--,e for the Parks and Recreation Fund. It is anticipated a sim- ilar atnount will be received during each of the next five years. As a part of this program, Federal Grants ac- quisition, should be attempted, which, if successful COUld match City funds On a 50-50 basis, resulting in a total of $400,000 for park and re-creation acquisition and development. This is to be spread over the 5 year program. 4. Maintenance 0 eration v .rhis will be included in the 74-75 operations budget, as development is accomplished. -1.4- To be constructed a) Fire Station 1. NecessitV As indicated in above requirement for pur- chase of equipment. 2. Cost A facility to house recommended equipment plus space for office, administration, and quarters is estimated to cost $60,000. Land cost will not be a factor if constructed on the 6000 site. 3. Method of Financing Included in II d-3 above relating to Fire Department equipment, 4. Costs of Operation and, Malntei-.ante Included in II d-4 above relating to Fire Department equipr.,ient. 1 b) Drainage improvements 1. Necessit-y It is anticipated there will be a need for drainage improvements not, recognized during initial planning and construction phases. 2. Costs As specific item, cannot be anticipated, a figure of $2500 per year is included as a planning figure, as a repetitive item with no detail for subsequent gears. 3. Method of Financial To be financed from current revenues. 4. Maintenance and�er�atian As with other drainage facilities, costs of maintenance will be included in yearly Public Works operational budgets. c) Court & Meetinq stall Facilities 1. NecessitV In order that the County hold court in our City and to provide required :room for Council meet- ings, etc., at the new City Hall site, it will be necessary to construct a Court/Meeting Hall building. 2. Cost Estimates Estimated cast for a 3000 square foot hall plus 1000 square feet for accessory uses, at $25.00 per square foot- ($100,000) plus $25,000 :for furniture and equipment. 3. Method of Financi..n Recoimnended. to be financed from General Fund surplus (current revenue.). i 4. Cast of Operation and Maintenance Costs will. be included with our yearly operational budget. 1974--75 1 L, I. To be acquired at no cost a) Streets completed during yeas: (See FY 1973--74 I -a) b) Canals ,and drainage facilities (See FY 1973-74 I-b) II. To be Purchased c) grater and Sewer Systems 1.. Necessity A part of the basic philosophy of the City Government is to provide services including utilities. Theoretically, costs would be lower., profits would accrue to the City and therefore the residents, and control would be: in the hands of e'Lected officials. I feel we should. acquire Tamarac Utilities as a part of our overall. City function. 2. Cast Cast of acquisition is :impossible to compute at this time, being a direct result of numbers of connections and future expansion of the system at the time of acquisition. 3. Method of Financing Universally, acquisition of utility systems by Cities is by revenue bonds and has no effect on general. City revenues. 4. Maintenance and operation Again, these costs are a part of the utility fund, provided through utility revenues, and do not effect general City revenues. W -1 --I -1.7- f) Public Works'Facilitv 1. Ne-CeSSity As the City grows to less feasible to use eastern acea ut,-U-ity vehicle storage and fore recoiimiend. that University Drive for 2. C'ost the west, it will become the present site of the plant for Public Works dispatch. I would there, - land be purchased west of that purpose. While specific plans have not been, developed, it is estimated a vehicle park and maintenance area of approximately two acres would be desirable which, with required storage/maintenance building and equipment, would be estimated to cost $80,000. 3. Method of Financj-na It is anticipated funding can be made from available General Fund prior year balance. 4. Maintenance & 0 eration 'No costs other than normal operational. budget expenses are anticipated. I - Is -- III To 1.)e Constrt:Ac-ft.ead d) Tlark,..Deve-.2Lr�ent 1.

I have enjoyed my tenure as City Prosecutor for the City of Tamarac, and I believe that our Court has progressed in its administration of justice in all ways striving to present fair and impartial justice to the community. Due to the increased demands of my private practice, as well as the increased demands of the City Prosecutor's Office, I feel that I could not do a proper job without overburdening myself; and I, therefore, resign effective your first meeting in August 1973. I have already informed all of the people involved with the selection of a replacement orally so that the Court may proceed forward without interruption or confusion. I wish to thank each and every one of you for giving me the opportunity to serve the City of Tamarac and the cause of justice. Very truly yours, EDWARDS LEE CHURCH ELC:bw cc: James Druck, City Attorney Milton A.
