A RESOLUTION URGING SUPPORT FOR THE CLEVELAND
CLINIC FOUNDATION PROPOSED FACILITY IN
BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA; AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, THE CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATION, a non-profit
Ohio Corporation ("THE FOUNDATION"), is proposing to create a
not -for -profit Florida Corporation to establish a major,
tertiary medical complex in Broward County; and
WHEREAS, THE FOUNDATION is a National Referral Center,
an International Health Resource and well -recognized as a
major, world-wide medical institution; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of Florida and
Broward County for THE FOUNDATION to establish a facility in
Broward County for the following reasons:
1) THE FOUNDATION proposes to acquire between 150 and
200 acres of undeveloped land in western Broward County and
construct a major medical complex at an anticipated cost of
$150 million for the provision of superb medical care, the
conduct of medical research and education; and
2) it is anticipated the complex would employ 1000
people in generally high -paying jobs and would operate with
an annual budget of approximately $150 million; and
3) the medical complex as a regional referral center
would attract patients from the local community, Florida, the
Southeast United States and the Caribbean basin, South
America and other foreign countries; and
4) the Community would receive the benefits of in-
creased commercial development, employment, visitors and
tourism and many related benefits; and
5) if necessary legislation is passed in the next
legislative session, THE FOUNDATION plans to open an interim
clinical facility in 1987 to operate during the time the
western Broward County facility is being constructed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF TAMARAC, FLORIDA:
SECTION 1: That the City of Tamarac welcomes the
decision of THE FOUNDATION to locate a major medical facility
in Broward County, Florida and recognizes and appreciates the
substantial enhancements to the quality of life and economic
contributions resulting to our current and future residents;
SECTION 2: That the City of Tamarac urges the Broward
County Legislative Delegation of the 1987 Florida Legislature
to unanimously sponsor and urge the passage of necessary
amendments to the Laws of Florida to allow THE CLEVELAND
CLINIC FOUNDATION to organize, create and operate its pro-
posed medical facility.
