ASSUMPTIONS AND SUPPOSITIONS for FORECASTS
In order to have a basis for planning capital
improvements necessary and/or desirable for City operations,
it is necessary that certain criteria be established.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

City Commissioners
City of Tamarac

Dear Commissioners:
It is with regret that I submit this my letter
of resignation. 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,
