Tamarac city officials have taken a significant step towards potential financial recovery by agreeing to participate in a class action lawsuit against PVC pipe manufacturers. During the Commission meeting on September 24, 2025, city attorney Becca Polikoff presented the opportunity for the city to join the lawsuit, which alleges collusion among manufacturers in the sale of pipes to local governments and private entities.

The lawsuit aims to address economic damages incurred by the city due to inflated prices and unfair practices in the PVC pipe market. Importantly, the city will not incur any costs in this legal endeavor, making it a low-risk opportunity for potential financial restitution.

All commissioners present, including Commissioner Patterson, Commissioner Wright, Vice Mayor Daniel, and Commissioner Bolton, expressed their consent to move forward with the lawsuit, demonstrating a unified approach to seeking justice and compensation for the community.

This decision marks a proactive measure by the city to address financial challenges and could lead to significant benefits for Tamarac residents if the lawsuit is successful. As the case progresses, the city will keep the community informed about any developments and potential outcomes.
