Of course, this request is conditioned upon obtaining approval of a 90 day extension by the City of Miami Commission at their meeting of June 8, 1999. Presuming that such an extension is granted, then I would ask that said workshop be set for a Saturday at 1:00 p.m. in the City Commission Chambers. The reason to schedule this on a Saturday is to allow the general public an opportunity to come forward and be heard and take advantage of being fully informed and educated by the City of Miami experts on Section 29 of the Code as it applies to disposition of City properties, on a nonworking day. I would also request that the City experts who have dealt, and continue to deal with Section 29 (A),(B) and (C) of the Charter prepare the following presentation: 1. The Asset Management Division to prepare a map of the City of Miami highlighting all of the City owned properties which are affected directly or indirectly by Section 29 of the Charter. (a) Statistics on the number of properties owned by the City of Miami, whether surplus or nonsurplus and to put both the surplus and nonsurplus property in ranges of estimated value as follows: (i) properties under $50,000; (ii) properties under $100,000; (iii)properties under $150,000; (iv) properties under $250,000; (v) properties under $300,000; (vi) properties under $400,000; (vii) properties under $500,000; and to lump all other properties over $500,000 together. This information should be made available for the public. 2. The Development Department to present to the public the different processes as currently outlined under Sections 29 (A) (B) and (c) of the Charter. I would ask that an G:\DMS\73190\ 11767\0241124.01 5/14/99 1 BILZIN SUMBERG DUNN PA E & AXELROD LLP Charter Review Committee June 2, 1999 Page 2 outline of each of those procedures be made to be handed out the public as well as exhibits that can be followed during the presentation. 3. The administration in conjunction with the law department to explain to the general public the difficulties in the implementation in practical considerations required by Sections 29 (A) (B) and (C) of the Charter. Under this portion of the presentation we should have statistics on the number of attempts to dispose of City property that have taken place from the time of adoption of Section 29 (A)(B) and (C) of the Charter , the numbers that have been successful, the numbers that have required referendum, no response, etc. Subsequent to those presentations which should take approximately one to two hours a public meeting should be held, questions will be taken from the public. Each of the departments will then give their recommendations and suggestions and also submit them in writing. The format for the written recommendations shall follow the usual City format for amendments to the Code and Charter. Clearly, I envision this process could take, depending on the amount of participants, as much as three to four hours. Once again, I would respectfully request that this workshop be noticed as a public meeting and a public hearing, that the City Commission Chambers be made available and that it be televised through Channel 9. I would ask that in noticing the workshop, you pay special attention to the notification of community based organizations, community groups such as homeowners associations that are registered with the Net offices, etc. As I am sure you heard at our last meeting, there is a general feeling that not everyone has been receiving notices. I would ask that you send out a special letter to members of the press informing them of the workshop. Please be advised that I will not be available on Saturday, June 26th and July 3rd. I thank you in advance for you assistance and cooperation in this matter. Of course, I am open to any suggestion you may have to improve this process. Sincerely, A.
