The City's Risk Management Department advised that since I had no proof that both incidents happened on City property on City business, that it out of the question. They said they were sorry but they could not honor this claire. The estimate for repairs for both sides of the car is $1,764.80, see enclosed. My explanation of how much time had been donated and spent working with the City and the contributions made and secured on behalf of the City of Miami fell on deaf ears. I was very surprised at the shabby treatment and the implication that my word was not good enough, therefore this was not a valid request. Thank you for your help. Sincerelv.

The whole side of my door was bent .Then to compound matters, the other day at the cemetery, I had to back up and turn around because of a big city truck and mashed the other side on a very curved palm tree. My insurance is $500 deductible so wanted to check to see if city has a body shop or insurance coverage for mishaps on city property. Thanks. Penny Hi, Penny. I am forwarding to you the e-mail that I just sent (again) to Risk Management Director Mario Soldevilla regarding the damage to your car. Hope you are doing well and please let me know when they contact you. Thanks and take care, Albert. -----Original Message ----- From: Ruder, Albert =Sent: Monday, February 05, 20016:16 PM To: Soldevilla, Mario Subject: FW: Car damage Mario, back in December, I forwarded this issue to you for follow-up.

I explained that my reason for being at both places was city business. I realize that the city has to be careful, however, my word is my honor and I would hope that my reputation in this county would guarantee it. Thanks, as always, for your assistance. Penny PS Had a good conversation with Raul this week and we're getting requested items for repairs.

A dozen new bright lights line the northern edge of City of Miami Cemetery. A stately arched gate and an eight -foot -tall green metal fence now surround the perimeter. And more trees -- 190 yellow Poinciana's, lignum vitaes, cassias, chorisias and more. The 10 -acre cemetery at 1800 NE Second Ave., just east of the old main line of Henry Flagler's railroad, is the final resting place of some of Miami's founders and most prominent citizens Until recently, the 103 -year-old landmark also was a resting place for the homeless, who slept in mausoleums and at times used tombstones for toilets. Random vandalism and the near bankruptcy of Miami -- the cemetery's owner -- left the graveyard run down. In 1996, a rash of vandalism virtually destroyed some of the graves. Crosses were toppled, statues of angels were damaged, granite stones were smashed, and urns were stolen. Worst hit was the cemetery's walled Jewish section, where 13 graves were desecrated. That action prompted a 20 -member citizens' task force, led by the Dade Heritage Trust, to improve the lighting and fence on the property. "The cemetery needed lots of work," said Penny Lambeth, Miami City Cemetery Task Force Committee chairwoman. "Now it lights up like Broadway." Lambeth is credited with raising awareness of the cemetery and obtaining over $80,000 in trees and man-hours of labor. The cemetery holds the remains of 8,959 people. Miami bought the land more than a century ago from Mary Brickell for $750. Julia Tuttle, a driving force in getting Flagler to bring his Florida East Coast line south in 1896, rests there. The Burdine family, who founded the department store; first city Mayor John B. Reilly; and Dr. James Jackson, whose name was given to Jackson Memorial Hospital, also have plots. There are also 86 Civil War veterans and 209 soldiers of the Spanish-American War, whose graves are mostly unmarked. There are separate sections for whites, blacks, Jews and Confederates. The first recorded burial was a 23 -year-old Englishman, investor Henry Graham Branscombe, who died of tuberculosis July 20, 1897. At that time, a number of Miami pioneer families moved their dead from the backyard to the graveyard. In the last two years, one of the committee volunteers has repaired more than 60 headstones and markers. He said there are still signs of religious rituals: dead chickens, candles and rotting fruit. But the serious problems, the destruction and theft, are almost completely gone. Lambeth credits the new lighting installed by the City and the fence, which was finished six weeks ago. The task force had tremendous help from two Eagle Scout projects where they scrubbed 535 veterans' markers using dishwashing soap and toothbrushes. They painted plot location markers throughout the cemetery, replaced water fixtures and installed six birdbaths. Trees were planted, and all were fertilized and mulched. A fence, which cost more than $100,000, now encloses the cemetery. The money to build the gate came from the Department of Housing and Urban Development through a joint effort with the City of Miami Parks Department. Other improvements were made with private donations and in-kind services. Thousand -watt lights keep the area illuminated at night, and police are patrolling the area more often. "We're keeping a better eye on the cemetery," Sgt. Jose M. Rodriguez said. "The fence will be a tremendous help in keeping vandals out." "Four years ago, we wondered, 'Can the historic cemetery be restored?' " Lambeth said. "The answer -- yes, it can. We've done it." 02-1091
