Gimenez, City Manager City of Miami 444 S.W. 2 Ave Miami, Fla. 33130 Dear Mr. Manager, MANAGERS OFFICE _`_'" 2R ri-M I I S This letter is to request that you place on the next available City Commission agenda the appointment of an individual to fill a vacancy on the FIPO retirement Trust. As you know at the Commission meeting of March 14, 2002, the Commission deferred the item because they wanted to have six names to choose from. In both the FOP's and the IAFF's case these were re -appointments to the board with individuals that have served on the board for over a decade. You may remember that 1 spoke to you at the Commission meeting and related that in the past re -appointments did not require the additional names. In an attempt to resolve this issue I will include five additional names, however, it is our position that Robert Williams is the most qualified for the post because of his years of service and in fact he is currently the chairperson of the board. This is the same Robert Williams that during his tenure on the Board worked with the City on the Gates re -settlement and the most recent assumption changes which had a positive effect on the City's cost. I highly suggest that members of the Commission give this candidate the utmost consideration. Robert Williams Yolanda Aguilar Steve Smegelski Clarence Dixon Jerome Wolfson Herminio Ramirez If you should have any questions please feel free to contact me at 305-854-5019. Thanking you in advance for your assistance to this matter.

Two appointments are currently needed: there is a vacancy because Al Gurdak resigned and Marshall Barry's term expired March 8, 2002. On March 14, 2002, the City Commission passed Motion 02-315 (copy attached) deferring consideration of appointments of members to the FIPO Retirement Trust. The Commission expressed a concern about having only one name submitted by each of the Fire Fighters' and Police Officers' unions. As soon as I receive information from you, I will schedule the needed appointments in the next available agenda.
