Dear Mr. de la Torre:
On December 23, 1994, two employees of Delectables, Inc. were arrested on the vessel "La Rumba" a.k.a.
"Crazy Clam Cruises" for the sale of an alcoholic beverage to a person under the age of 21, and maintaining a
place of business where beverages are sold to minors. These arrests were made by agents of the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and corroborated long standing rumors as to why this vessel, and others
operating out of Baysidc, are so often frequented primarily by minors.
In addition, on Sunday, January 1, 1995, at approximately 1:30 a.m., I accompanied the City of Miami Police
in reference to a disturbance at "La Rumba" involving a man with a gun. It turned out that the man was
carrying a concealed weapon with a valid permit, and he was involved in an argument with a ticket seller
representing "Delectables, Inc."
Also, on January 1, 1995, at approximately 3:05 a.m., the Fiesta Boat docked reporting a fight on the vessel in
which a passenger was injured by broken glass. Again, Bayside Security and the City of Miami Police
responded to this incident resulting in several white and Latin male juveniles being escorted off the property.
The security report reflects one subject was armed with a knife. No arrests were made, but these incidents
demonstrate potential problems in these areas, and a strain on security and police assets already committed to
public safety inside the project.
In closing, be advised that on a regular basis, these boats continue to circle the marina with loud music and
depart for cruises after 1:00 a.m. Furthermore, be reminded that Raul Tercilla sent you a letter dated August
22, 1994, indicating the potential for liability to Bayside, and the City of Miami as Fiesta Cruises continues to
operate out of this location. I would like to take this opportunity to make a second request that you cancel
Fiesta Cruises' Mooring Agreement immediately.
Thank you for your concern and attention regarding this matter.
Sincerely.,
Todd Preston
Director of Security

Re: Notice of Termination of Mooring and Dockage Agreement -
Miami Outer Wall Slip #2 M/V Crazy Clam
Gentleman:
CESAR 11. ODIO
City Manager
Under the provisions of paragraphs 6(a) and 6(b), the City of Miami is electing to
terminate its Mooring and Dockage Agreement, dated February 1, 1994, with you. This
action has been necessitated for the following reasons:
1. On December 23, 1994, as per Arrest Affidavits 94-1398A, 94-1398B and
94-1398C, Ilona Mendez, the purported owner of the vessel Crazy Clam, and Ralph
Fredrick Levin, the purported manager of Crazy Clam Cruises, were arrested for selling
alcoholic beverages to a minor(s). This violation of state law is a breach of paragraph 11
of the Mooring and Dockage Agreement entitling the City of Miami to terminate the
agreement under paragraph 6(a).
2. The MN Crazy Clam has been operating at Miamarina without a Certificate
of Convenience and Necessity as required by section 50-25 of the City Code and without
a license as required by section 50-32 of the City Code. These violations of the City
Code are also a violation of paragraph 11 of the Mooring and Dockage Agreement,
entitling the City of Miami to terminate the agreement under paragraph 6(a).
Irrespective of the City of Miami's grounds for termination under paragraph 6(a),
the City of Miami reserves the right to terminate any Mooring and Dockage Agreement
for any reason upon three days notice under paragraph 6(b).

Dear Sirs:
CESAR H. ODIO
City Manager
I am in receipt of several letters from residents of "I3ricken Key" complaining of the
noise generated from your vessels while passing their buildings. All have stated that loud
music is being played at approximately 1:30 a.m.
Please be advised that you are in violation of City Code Sec. 36-4. Violations to any City
ordinance can constitute a breach to your Mooring and Dockage Agreement warranting
termination. This letter shall serve as a warning to you that such disturbances must cease
immediately. Should these activities persist, action shall be taken to terminate your
agreement with the City of Miami.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at 579-6950. Your
cooperation in this matter is anticipated.
Sincerely,
Aau

Re: Party Boat Disturbance
Dear Mr. Pajares:
1 am writing this letter to infcrm you of a problem we have been experiencing at the Island
Club Apartments for the past year or so. There is a cruise boat, I am not sure what it is
called, which leaves from the Bayside Marketplace and cruises by Claughton Island. It passes
by at least twice on weekend nights, once in the early evening and once more very late at
night - as late as 1 A.M.. The boat has very festive lighting and plays music so that the
passengers may dance.
The problem with this is the very loud level of music which is played. I live on the twenty-
first floor and the music is loud enough to wake up both me and my wife. The boat passes
right by the island - no more than sixty feet from occupied apartments. While I do not wish
to hurt the business for this cruise boat, it seems strange to me that any business is allowed
to operate in such a way as to disturb that many people at such at late hour. Many of our
residents have commented on this over the prior months.
Is there anything that can be done about this? Perhaps the operator can change his course
of direction and head up past the Port of Miami. I know in talking with the operators of the
other two residential properties on this Island that many people are upset by the disturbance
being created.
Please let me know if this problem can be solved. I may be contacted at (305) 371-7771 if
you have anv questions.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Dear Tony:
I have been trying to Set up an appointment with you, without much
success...so, I am reducing my thoughts to writing.
I have recently spoken to Raul Tercilla, Director of Bayside, in
reference to two party boats operating out of Bayside Marina. On
the weekends, Friday, Sat.and Sunday, these boats pass by our Island,
Brickell Key, and have little regard for the peace and quiet of our
community. They pass back -and -forth on the waterway approximately
every z hour or so, playing loud disco music till approximately
1:30 am, in the morning. I have spoken to many neighbors, personally,
in the Island Club, Brickell Key Two, as well as my building, Brick -
ell Key One, and many people are annoyed with the situation. Swire
Properties and myself, have circulated petitions for signatures,
so that we can get this stressful problem resolved.
Tony, the names of these boats are "La Rumba" and "Miami Queen."
There might even be a third... something Princess. It is most incon-
siderate of these operators, and they should be notified that action
will be taken, if they do not cease immediately.
Thanking you in advance for your effort, I am
Sincerfi)ly yours,
.I00

Dear Mr. De la Torre:
Attachment 5
Please note that because the number of significant security breach incidents by
La Rumba, Crazy Clam II and Island Queen, we cancelled the operating
agreements granting them access to our common areas. We also support the
decision by the city to end their mooring agreements. The incidents have
involved alcohol consumption by minors, fights in the vessels and spilling to our
common areas, complaints by neighbors and problems with the Police
Department.
