Vrr. 31. l'J77 1 i v1 Planning Agencies, County Commission Head For Showdown By Paul Carson Staff Wrilcr The long-running feud between the county planning division and the Broward County Planning Council comes to a head Tuesday when the council demands County Commission action to determine its future role.

The commission has downgraded the council's chores in recent months, delegating jobs once held by the council to the county planning division. "We just want to know where we stand and where we're going," Tom Wright, attorney for the planning council, said. Since summer the commission has become increasingly critical of the council, which was sharply attacked by several commissioners when it admitted a key transportation study to tie in with the county Land Use Plan would not be finished until 1979 or 1980. Even before that, the commission transferred several staff positions dealing with transportation planning from the council to the planning division. Then the commission gave the responsibility for the planning of other key elements to tie in with the Land Use Plan to the division.

County Administrator Lewis Hester has long sought a greater role for the planning division, which he controls directly. The planning council, on the other hand, acts only in an advisory capacity to the commission but hires its own staff. The debate has been further heightened in recent weeks following the abrupt resignation of Steve Johnson, the director of the planning division. Johnson, who at times has criticized the planning council and the Land Use Plan, saying the document will be indefensible in court, said he was forced to resign by Hes' r. Wright said the council, which has been designated by federal and state authorities as the regional planning agency, is different from the planning division because the division is responsible only for planning in the unincorporated areas.

In a lengthy report to the commission, the council lists four alternatives for the commission to consider and then endorses one of the proposals which essentially lets the council keep its present staff, with the commission agreeing to add more personnel as needed. The other proposals would be an immediate expansion of the council staff, or transferring part, or finally all, of the council staff to Hester. "It is time for the Planning Council and the County Commission to directly address and then resolve the issue of the future role of the Planning Council with open minds and mutual respect," Ronald VUlcIla, chairman of the council, wrote in a letter to Commission Chairman Hugh Anderson. Villella emphasized the council can only carry out its responsibilities if it can remain essentially independent of the commission, a statement which is certain to raise sharp debate Tuesday when the issue comes up for discussion. Several commissioners have charged that this independence has led to the many delays of the council, including the transportation and road study report.

Among the SO scientists participating will be Henry Stommel, professor of oceanography at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R. and was the first to explain why strong boundary currents such as the Gulf Stream occur on the western sides of oceans. world," said Dr. Dennis Moore, chief scientist at the center and one of the speakers at the two-day conference.

The Indian Ocean experiment is part of a larger program that will include the western Pacific Ocean and ultimately the world-wide plan. Being sought is a better understanding of what "physical properties are involved in controlling the climate, particularly for the short period, from one year to the next," Moore said. An international group of oceano-graphers will meet at Nova University's Ocean Sciences Center Wednesday and Thursday to plan the Indian Ocean oceanographic part of the 1979 Global Weather Experiment. The 1979 experiment is to study the effects of the oceans on the world's weather patterns and the Indian Ocean program is one portion of that experiment.

Dennis Moore: Monsoon study valuable. Fire Chief Tillinghast Retires, eputy Moves Into His Job J- By Dennis Powell Staff Writer Fort Lauderdale Fire Chief George Tillinghast cleaned out his desk yesterday, his last day of work before retirement. Deputy Chief Frederick Lane prepared to move into the top firefighting position. Tillinghast, SO, has been chief here for more than two years. He started work with the Fort Lauderdale department 25 years ago as a fireman.

Lane, 44, started as a fireman here in 1957. He rose through the ranks as did Tillinghast, and was named assistant chief in 1973. He was appointed deputy chief last September. Lane will initially be acting fire chief, while civil service surgery is conducted to remove the "acting" from is title. He is expected to be made full chief in the next few weeks.

The new chief praised Tillinghast for advances made in the department and promised more of the same. "Most of the big changes have been made under George," Lane commented. "The move to three dis tricts was a big one. The establishment of public safety inspectors was another." Some of Tillinghast's plans will take effect after he leaves. The department is expecting delivery soon of two-man "mini-pumpers," each of which will carry a driver who is also a paramedic, and a fire lieutenant.

The mini-pumpers are expected to be of great advantage in fighting vehicular fires. Since the units are smaller than conventional fire tracks, they will be able to arrive sooner at structural blazes. It will then be the duty of the lieutenant to size up the situation and determine what additional units will be needed. It was under Tillinghast that the department decided to have one of its older 100-foot aerial ladders refurbished for the new North Beach Ladder Company. Department spokesmen say it saved the city about $190,000.

Tillinghast, too, spoke highly of Lane. "I'm leaving the department in capable hands, and I expect the members of this department to give him the full cooperation I have received," he said. The men say their administrative policies are very similar and that no major administrative changes are planned.
