On July 10, 1997, the Commission instructed the Clerk to readvertise for additional applications for seats which appointments have been deferred from prior meetings. Pursuant to requirements under City Code Section 62-123, our office placed a notice in a newspaper of general circulation in the City advertising for applications for prospective appointments to the Planning Advisory Board. The deadline for submitting said applications was August 20, 1997. There are three appointments needed as follows: • Commissioner Gibson has one nomination for a seat currently held by Mertis C. McCants, who had been nominated by former Commissioner Dawkins. • Commissioner Plummer has one nomination for a seat which is currently vacant (Brian Geenty resigned). • Commissioner Gort has one nomination for a seat currently held by Pedro Roig, who has been excessively absent. Appointments shall be made only from individuals who have submitted applications. Applications were received from the following individuals: Eladio Jose Armesto Frank Balzebre Raymundo F. Escarra Jose L. Gomez Pedro R. Gomez Mertis C. McCants Pedro Victor Roig If the Commission is dissatisfied with the list of applicants who have submitted their applications, the Commission may direct the Clerk to readvertise for more applicants. Please be aware that City Code Section 62-124 states in part: "in reaching a decision on appointment to a vacancy on the planning advisory board or on the zoning board, the city commission shall give due regard to, and be guided by the necessity for representation on the boards, of: (1) Geographical sections and areas of the city; (2) Social, economic and demographic characteristics of the city; (3) Qualifications, background, experience and abilities of appointees to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of board membership or alternate 97- 667 • • 17 membership; prospective appointees shall be subject to a personal appearance before the city commission, to afford the city commission an opportunity to ascertain prospective nominees' proficiency in the English language, educational background and general knowledge of planning and zoning; (4) Prior demonstration by prospective appointees of interest in and concern for planning and planning implementation, as may be evidenced by previous attendance at planning or land use control seminars; (5) Membership in organizations having the primary aim of the furtherance of dissemination of knowledge of and support of sound planning and implementation programs; (6) Other activity evidencing knowledge and interest in the public purposes of planning and plan implementation; (7) Potential conflicts of interest; (8) Demonstrated maturity and objectivity of judgment; and (9) Needs for expertise, if any, in the membership and alternate membership of boards. Appointees shall .be persons in a position to represent the public interest and no person shall be appointed having personal or private interests likely to conflict with the public interest. No person shall be appointed who has any interest in the profits or emoluments of any contract, job, work, or service for the city. No person shall be appointed who holds any elective office or is employed in a full-time capacity by any governmental authority in the county or the city. Before making any appointment, the city commission shall determine that the person so appointed satisfies the requirements of sections 2-611 (Conflicts of Interest) et seq., and no person .shall be confirmed in appointment who has not filed the statement required by section 2-615 (List of real estate owned - Required of certain officials). In addition, the code of ethics of Metropolitan Dade County shall apply to members and alternate members of the planning advisory board and of the zoning board."

Below is a synopsis as to the nature of the business and my major involvement in it. 1975 - 1977 Guarina Milk Products Inc., Union City, New Jersey. Nature of Business: Wholesale milk and diary products to supermarkets and general groceries stores. The emphasis of this business was on brand loyalty. Due to the heavy Cuban population in Union City, I patented "Guarina" a well known brand name in Cuba and packaged - milk and other products with its logo. My major involvement was in the logistics of distribution, and marketing. 1981 - 1984 California Sportswear Inc., Miami, Florida. Nature of business: Clothing Manufacturing and Sales. Total work force: 50 My major involvement was managing the work flow in design, manufacturing, finish, and shipping, coordinating the purchasing of materials with the design group, as well as keeping financial stability. 1983 - 1985 Lider Import and Exports Inc., Miami, Florida. Nature of business: Import of fruits from South America for US distribution. In charge of creating and later managing the channels of distribution for the firm. Among our customers were Winn Dixie, Pantry Pride, and other local and national broker. 1986 - 1991 Agrimpex International Trading Inc., Miami, Florida. Nature of business: Local purchasing of commodities in ME 32 97- 667 South America for US wholesale distribution of the products. Export of trucks and heavy machinery to south America. The emphasis of this business was an intensive exchange of products between Chile and South Florida. I was very much involved in managing transactions considering the exchange rates of the Chilean peso versus the US dollar, the legal, banking, social, cultural and the general business environment of Chile and the United States. INNOVATIVE ACTIVITY 1983 - 1985 Our firm -Lider Import and Export- was the first one to fly fresh fruits directly from Chile to south Florida. Traditionally the receiving area for the bulk of the Chilean imports to the US were the ports of Philadelphia and New York. Due to the high demand for grapes in the US during the first months of the year this product is able to bear the higher cost of air transport from Chile to South Florida. The cost was partially offset by the savings of not having to truck the shipment from Philadelphia or New York. Our customers were happy to get the grapes in South Florida before the north eastern market, and we began to get orders from business we never dealt with before. -7- 97- 667 " • LANGUAGES RECOGNITION Spanish / English bilingual 1995 Award for Distinguished Academic Achievement in the Master's Degree Program.
