SECOND READING ORDINANCE: THE MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN. Mayor Suarezs Now, was i~ item number one, Father, that you were here on? Father John Vaughn: Yes, item number one. Mayor Suarez: Do we need... Father Vaughn: For the record, Father John Vaughn, 3460 Royal Road, Coconut Grove, Pastor of St. Hugh Catholic Church. I'm petitioning the Commission in reference to two lots we have at 3291 Franklin Avenue, three, two, nine, one Franklin Avenue, two lots. The Catholic Church has owned and used these two lots for the past 30 years. It has been used as space for living space in the beginning for the priests and office space and educational space. The present zoning is RS-2 minus 2 and my request is to change that zoning to RO-1/4 for office space use as well as educational use. This property is close to the property that Mr. Hill is petitioning for the change in zoning of. Can I... Mayor Suarez: Although, let me clarify something... Father Vaughn: Yes. Mayor Suarez: Guillermo. The David Hill zoning change or whatever it is he's requesting... Father Vaughn: Yes.. Mayor Suarez: ... is not before us under this item, is it? Mr. Guillermo Olmedillo: No, sir. It'll be before you on the 23rd. Mayor Suarez: I dust want to clarify it for the Commissioners. And, Father, we're going to let you complete your presentation; actually, we need to hear from the City on a complete presentation on the entire Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, but go ahead and complete your statement. Father Vaughn: The reason I am requesting the change is it's being used for office use at the present time and we intend to use it for office use as well as educational purposes and as a result we are requesting the change in zoning. Mayor Suarez: Guillermo, what would that require as a comprehensive land use designation? Because it's not a matter of zoning, Father. Mr. Olmedillo: Right now, in the definition of the single family residential use, which is what the Father has, we include houses of worship. Now, as an auxiliary structure of the house of worship, he may have offices but they will have to be offices related exclusively to the church or to the school. ~~ ~_ Mayor Suarez: As an ancillary. ', },~= ,, .s 2 Febzuary ~, 199 - _ . - ,..~ _ ____ -_- _ r + ... - -_ r s j~.. -~ - • • Mr. ~iltaedillo: Right. That's the secondary use Mithin the property. Mayor Suarez: is there a limitation on the atoount of apace that could be used in that May ancillary to a house of Morship? Mr. Olmedillo: Not in the land use designation, no, sir. Mr. Plurmoer: Well, if Mere talking about, Father, about St Nugh's. Mr. Olmedillo: No, across the street. Father Vaughn: Across the - the old rectory. Mr. Plummer: Yes, over on Franklin. Father Vaughn: The two lots on Franklin Avenue. Mr. Plummer: All right. The other thing that - I don't knoll if any consideration has been given to is the property that is owned by Viilanova on LeJeune Road and I thought that's what he was going to speak to. OK. Mrs. Kennedy: Has Planning had time to study this proposal? Mr. Olmedillo: I spoke to Father Vaughn yesterday afternoon over the phone and he gave me the address. I looked at it and I suggested that the - he had two windows of opportunity. One would be to come before you today as an issue within the Comprehensive Plan. The other one will be to make a single application, an individual application which will be considered through the boards and by DCA, by the state, because it will be a Comprehensive Plan amendment and by you, which is - you know - a different process. I believe the Father wanted to take advantage of this procedure which is a lot quicker and... Mr. Sergio Rodriguez: The answer is no. Mr. Olmedillo: ... more expeditious to him. Mr. Rodriguez: We haven't had a chance to review that. f k: r ~_ r E } f Mr. Plummer: Well, but wait a minute, is that legal - can we do that legally, - change the zoning in the Comprehensive Plan without public hearings? Joel Maxwell, Esq.: No, sir. Mr. Rodriguez: You are not changing the zoning today... Mr. Olmedillo: Land use. ~ Mr. Rodriguez: ... you're looking at the Comprehensive Plan only. The only thing is that as of pre step to changing the zoning you have to have a a Comprehensive Plan designation that will allow you to do the zoning. We haven't had the time to look at this in detail and the implication that it has so for you to make a decision today. Mr. Plummer: But I assume Father is only talking about the old rectory that faces on Royal Road. °- _~ Mr. Olmedillo: It's on the north side of Franklin. Mr. Plummer: On Franklin. Mr. Olmedillo: On Franklin, on the north side of Franklin right behind .where =Y the Taurus has the parking lots. k_ ,- Mr: Plummer: So what options do we, the City Commission, have today? r y~- 4' Mr. Ohaedillo: You are to address the land use issue..... 1 '.. ,: - Mr. Plutmaer: OK... _ ~ :~~ f _ {x ~v~~ . ~ :~, ~, e a~ - -; ,. _, ~, - ~.~ ~: `" - -__ J - _...__ .._ ~+. w.7 C : d R .. ~~~, . ~ ~~- i w u~ .A. v.. ~... - _. ~ ~ m.. ~ - - -'C ~5::': .,..~... ~-. ... ,. ... ....... ... ... . a f Mr. i~ltaedillo: ... within the Comprehensive Pian. Within the land use, as Y <; stated in the definition of single family residential, you may ha~re en auitiliary use. - Mr. Plummer: Ali right, the question I guess really what i'tn asking is... Mr. Rodriguez: Procedure. Mr. Plummer: ... if we designate that area as requested, it doesn`t necessarily mean that through a zoning procedure we have to do it. Tt ~oerel~ gives us the availability of doing it without going back and amending the comprehensive, is that correct? Mr. Rodriguez: 8xcept that wa are required by law, we think, so many months from now, by September of '89, to come back with an implementation of the plan in zoning so ae have to have something that will re... Mr. Plummer: But still, what 2 guess Father's asking for is the flexibility of not closing the door, leave the door open and we can decide the zoning issue at a later time - between now and September. Mr. Rodriguez: The zoning will follow the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Plummer: But if you don't do the comprehensive amendment today, and you do the zoning, then you've got to go back and amend the comprehensive. Mr. Rodriguez: He cannot do the zoning in the future unless he follows the plan so he will have to come with an amendment to the plan whenever he's ready to do something, like everybody else. Mr. Plummer: Then my question remains, how serious do you feel the request is? Is it in order? Mr. Rodriguez: He can always make a request. We haven't had time to review it. We cannot make a recommendation to you today. Mr. Plummer: But that which we're dealing with today is an ordinance? Mr. Olmedillo: That it correct, it's second reading. Mr. Maxwell: Yes, it is. r '-j Mr. Plummer:- And we still have the availability at a second reading? i Mr. Maxwell: This fs second reading now. -~ Mr. Rodriguez: ._ Thfs is the second reading. t ~ Mr. Olmedillo: No, the second reading. Mr. Plummer: This is second reading. #. Mr. Maxwell: This is adoption. .. . : ~' Mayor Suarez: . _ .: .... Guillermo. 'i Mr. Olmedillo: Yes, sir. Mayor Suarez: Along the same lines and, I guess Father Vaughn ought -to-also address this, are we clearly understood that under the designation-you~'had given it, they _ could use as much of that space as they want for office use, as ,~, ancillary to.. .. Mr. Olmedillo: As long as it's ancillary to the church or the school. Mayor Suarez: House of worship? =1 Mr. Olmedillo: That is correct, sir. ~ ~ Mayor Suarez: .

Is there any 25 percent restriction as there are in other segments of the code or _ sections of the code? Mr. Olmedillo: No, in his particular case what he has, he's got two lots which are divided by the street, the church being in the south of the street and this particular property being on the north side of the street. So, you know, it is not - when you take it as an end... Mr. Plummer: Yes, but wait, wait a minute, now. That property that he's talking about is not contiguous. Mr. Olmedillo: No, there's a street in between. Mr. Plummer: because it's on the south side of the north side. It's on Franklin where the church is on Royal. Mr. Olmedillo: Right, it's faces on Franklin Avenue. Mr. Plummer: That's correct, faces north. See, it's not a contiguous piece of property even contiguous by virtue of the street dividing. It's on the other side of the street. Mr. Olmedillo: Right, but under the Comprehensive Plan again, remember, we're talking about land use. That will be part of the church property. So you're going to take it as a whole, as a unit, you're not going to take this as a piece and the other one as a piece. Mr. Plummer: OK, hey, let's put the cards on the table. I think this commission, at all times has tried to bend over backwards to accommodate a church. What can we do to accommodate the church without doing any harm to our Comprehensive Plant Mr. Olmedillo: If the office is related specifically to the church, I don't think you have a problem. I think you can do it within the Comprehensive Plan designation. Mayor Suarez: And without any restrictions as to the amount of apace that is used for that purpose. Mr. Olmedillo: That will be restricted within the zoning and the zoning does not address that at this point because we will have to design the zoning to fit that category. Mr. Plummer: Oh, fine, I mean... Mr. Dawkins: Somebody over there tell me, we keep ,juggling this and juggling it. Now, the county has their plan thrown out and now I look, we amend this one and we amend that and we amend the other and we don't amend the other, will this, in any way, jeopardize the Comprehensive Plan with the State of Florida? Mr. Plummer: You don't know that till you send it. Mr. Dawkins: If you're supposed to have a Comprehensive Plan, it's supposed to be comprehensive. If you're going to amend it and juggle it at will, -~- somewhere somebody's going to court and say, hey, I didn't get treated fairly because you didn't juggle mine. And now, tell me where we are with that. i, Mr. Maxwell: Mr. Dawkins, the county's plan was not thrown out because of amendments to their maps such as the ones that we're making now. The City has the authority to make amendments ao long as those amendments are consistent with the State and regional Comprehensive Plans. The county had a problem with transportation and particular elements of their plan. So, as long as'our staff can make a professional determination that any changes that are made by. this Commission are consistent with and in furtherance of the regional aad She state plans, we have no reason to believe that the state wouldn't also upheld '-Y~ ' our plan. .•r f " S Februa~y:9. 1989 `• T~ +i.Y• Mayor Suarez: OK, then as to applying that standard to this case. Mould that ' create a problem with potential approval by the Department of Coterautsity Affairs as the Commissioner's asking, applying the standards you just gave? Mr. Maxwell: That's what rtaff would have to comment on, sir. Mr. Rodriguez: The only thing I can tell you is that you will go with an action without recommendation from the staff. Mayor Suarez: Oh, because you're not ready to make a recommendation at this point. Mr. Rodriguez: No, we're not ready to do that. The recommendations that we're making is... Mr. Plummer: Sea, the problem that we're looking at... I'm sorry, Miller... Mr. Dawkins: No, I didn't... no, J. L. Mr. Plummers The problem we're looking at, once this plan is approved, you can only make two amendments a year, correct? Mr. Rodriguez: You can amend this twice a year. Mr. Plummer: Twice a year, but... Mr. Rodriguez: Every six months, excuse me. Mr. Plummer: ... the cumulative total cannot exceed... - Mr. Maxwell:. No, that's not quite right, sir. You can make two wholesale - changes a year. Mr. Plummer: OK. Mr. Maxwell: And you can make, what are called, small partial changes any number of times a year as long as the cumulative total is not over 30 acres. Mr. Plummer: See, that's one of the other problems. It's the unfortunately, the Comprehensive Plan, in my estimation, is a very good_plan.~ It gives you insight into the future but the problem is, when the state put this foot forth, they're treating Dade County as they are treating Okeechobee and Belle Glade and South Bay where their development potential is tremendous and here we're into a locked into a situation - we have what, 4 percent of our real estate is undeveloped, four percent? .dell, if Be11e Glade has 4 percent developed, I would be surprised. Mayor Suarez: It's a whole different situation, you're right. M ra Mr. Plummer: Exactly. Mayor Suarez: Guillermo, if we wanted to be absolutely sure that St. Hugh's could do what they want with that property, what designation would we give to _~ _- it other... - - °~ g Mr. Olmedillo: It'll be an office designation... g Mayor Suarez: And how could we be sure that,. it. would_oAly be :used, in g conjunction with a church or school? _. ~ a Mr. Plummer: Covenant. _ '~ : ~ ~ ~ _ ' t. ~ if ~ ~ Mr. Olmediilo: There's no way we can do it. ~t~. ,;, ,~ Ts f ' tars.

Jeff Bercow, Ssq.: Mr. Mayor... Mayor Suarez: I think you're in good shape, Father. It's my opinion Mith the existing land designation but we'll have to see how the Commission wants to... Mr. Rodriguez: Mr. Mayor, also.... Mr. Plummer: At least it's on the record. Mr. Rodriguez: ... if I may, if worse come to worse, in the future that they need to do something else, they can follow the proper procedures that everybody else will follow of amendment to the ordinance and sure we're going to have that in Lhe future. Mayor Suarez: Do you want to address that same point? Mr. Bercow: Yes, sir. Jeff Bercow, 200 S. Biscayne Slvd. in Miami. I represent one of the landowners in this area. Any extent - and T'm unfamiliar with this request, I've not had a chance to study it, but any extension or any designation that is non residential in this area will raise the same host of issues that the Taurus application is raising. I think it's a matter of fairness to the neighbors and the landowners in the area this should not be decided today. Mayor Suarez: That's the additional problem we have, I guess, Father, that we see the specter of David Hill's application and some of the neighbors are proposing that and we've heard from counsel that thinks that this might affect it. We always hear from our staff on that same point and a lot of times they say,:. well, it doesn't - there's no domino theory effect but this Commission a ,t lot of times is very guarded about allowing anything like this. I have a feeling that if you give good old Mike Fitzgerald a little bit of .legal compensation to look at this problem for you, maybe he'll decide that you're OK, but with the existing land use designation, it sounds like you are. Mr. Plummer: well, what I would suggest is have Michael write a letter to'the City outlining what you're planning on doing and have the City respond that it is fully legal and if it is not that kind of response then you come back to this Commission. Mayor Suarezs And I think the Commission's disposed to allow at least while you run the operation there as a church and school, to use those buildings for offices, it sounds like it to me from hearing the Commission. Father Vaughn: Thank you, very good. {- Mayor Suarez: Thank qou, Father. Anyone else on item one? Let me hear first - ® . the City presentation. I'm sorry, I should have done it that way and I kind s ~. of took Father Vaughn out of turn. ~, -~ Mr. Olmedillo: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, Vice Mayor, members of the Commission. ,J This is a second reading of our Comprehensive Plan, it's brought to you today ~: because we had a sixty day limitations from the day of reception of the DCA comments and as you remember, you instructed us to do some area studies and to go ahead and make some changes. Now Dave Whittington and Joe McManus will - ~` continue with the presentation. ~` Mr. Dave Whittington: For the record, my name is David ,Whittington, Plaan~ng~ J: Department staff.

The second part refers to other amendments recommended bq the Planning Department that complement these changes and are also include final refinements to the vlwn thrt rehn„id more exolicitlq meet the requirement of 9J5 and increase our chances of being accepted by the state, and that's specifically in the area of transportation. That's all included in your addendum, that's in your package for today. Finaiiq, the last piece in gour package is a letter to Tom Pelham at DCA which will transmit our entire revised plan and outlines our approach to transportation which, on the map I'm going to show qou now... presents the transportation corridor approach which was not implemented by the county and which is unique just to the City of Miami, takes advantage of our mass transit system bq combining the capacities of our road system which is on vehicle basis with the capacity of our mass transit system, busses and rapid rail transit, and this approach covers virtually 95 - 99 percent of the City. It ensures that we have capacity for further growth in the City. This approach was presented to them in our submission on September, was not found to be objectionable. We have further confirmed that in discussions with them that they will consider this approach and are - give us cause to be somewhat optimistic about it. They will not guarantee that it's acceptable but they do believe that this is much better than what Lhe county has proposed. So, we have reason to be optimistic but we certainly can't guarantee we'll be accepted. I'd also like to point out one final change that we may want to make to our plan to ensure that there's no misinterpretation on the part of the public regarding the effective date of concurrency. We have a policy in our capital improvement element policy 1.1.1 which merely states the intention of concurrency. We feel it has been suggested that we may need to amend that in order to be explicit about the effective date of that concurrency. If the City Legal Department deems that to be advisable, I'd like to have the flexibility to make that change. Mr. Maxwell: OK, sir. Mayor Suarez: The provision on concurrency is stated in what terms? Is it related to the impact fee ordinance or not? Mr. Whittington: No. Mr. Maxwell: No. There's a relationship between the two... Mayor Suarez: What does it say and when does it apply and what exactly does it say? Mr. Maxwell: It does all that staff answers specifically but the relationship is only do they both deal with infrastructure? But the impact fee deals with the funding and the concurrency doctrine deals with when that infrastructure has to be in place... Mayor Suarez: Well, it sounds to me like the two things are quite interrelated but the state provision on concurrency begins to apply when? Or began to... Mr. Whittington: One year after the submission date and that's what we may want to enter into our policy to be explicit so that no one can claim that it has to start immediately. Mayor Suarez: And the wording or general tenor of that provision is what? Mr. Whittington: The effective date of the concurrency to be as per state law, which may change. Mayor Suarez: What does it say? I've got the date down, what is the provision, what does it say? Mr. Whittington: Chapter 163 states.... Mayor Suarez: What does concurrency mean, you're using a term of art that nobody's familiar with it. Please define it for me for the Commission. Mr. Whittington: Not later than one year after it's due date established by the state planning agency's rule for submission of local government comprehensive plans pursuant to chapter 163, a local government shall not issue a development order or permit which results in a reduction of the level of services for the affected public facilities below the level of services 8 February 9, x,989 ,' } i i i ~, v.-~~ _ _ --- - -- - ~ ` I p~bvidad in the comprehensive plan of the local government. So, it toertiy indicates that the effective level of service standards that you set forth in transportation, voter, parks and so fnrrh, ai.il. some Into play At a r.~rt~!{!+ date. in our policies... Mayor Suarez: Moa, are we required to take into account the effect or the impact on transportation routes or systems outside of the City o~ any development under that concurrency notion? Mr. Whittington: No, it's limited to our City transportation system. Mayor Suarez: OK. Mr. Maxwell: Just within our jurisdiction. Mayor Suarez: OK. Mr. Plummer: What about the roads that are not under our jurisdictiont '; Mr. Maxwell: The county... Mayor Suarez: That's what I meant, qes. Mr. Maxwell: That's Metropolitan Dade County. Mr. Whittington: We are subject to those. Mr. Plummer: Yes, but you see, you're really it's a big joke. You know, Dixie Highway right now is gridlocked. It's carrying what, 280 percent of capacity? - which is a main feeder from the south to the north and yet we have no control, as I recall that's a state highway. They're not doing a-damn thing about it, the county is not doing anything about it, yet they're going to hold us responsible because it's a main thoroughfare? Where's the equity in that? I don't find a damn bit of equity. Mr. Whittington: That's true and we're just trying to play by their rules-.and meet them at their game. Mr. Plummer: But their rules don't mean a damn. Mr. Whittington: What we've been able to do though on our transportation corridor concept is include the capacity in our mass transit system which allow us to complete further development because of the capacity in our mass transit system. Mr. Plummer: But you're locking yourself out the door.. If you are going to put the City of Miami's Comprehensive Plan at the mercy of what they do or don't da in the transportation corridor, we're dead, we're dead. How many years have they promised that they were going to do something on 27th Avenue? a We're still waiting. - Mr. Rodriguez: OK... Mr. Plummer: These streets - you know, this - I sat yesterday and I've bitched about this be... I raised hell about this before. I set at 17th _ Avenue and Dixie Highway trying to make a left turn and it took me 23 minutes: ~; Mr. Dawkins: That's the fourth time you've told us, go ahead. v Mr. Plummer: But nobody wants to listen. You know, it's ridiculous. Mr, Rodriguez: The only thing we can tell you with this, Commissioner ~ Plummer - we agree with you there except that we have to follow the rule from' the state. We don't have any option from that. .What we have been doing ie ~ defining our level of service as reasonablyae possible so that we have-'+1o much flexibility •s possible.- And we have been working .together with ~~he Department of Transportation in .the state and with the:.. ~ ; ~ - ~. yr.

Rodriguez: `Well, try to remind them that they put us in the bind. Ana trying to define the level of services in a Maq that Mill be acceptable to the City that sill be lower than in other areas and that's what we've been Mocking for. That's Mhy ae came out with this concept in which we'd have to take into consideration other factors. i think that Me are in better shape then the county because the county, it really depends completely at this point, on Mhat the state Mill do in the outskirts of the metropolitan area and there's not much they can do if the state roads doesn't have the money for the roads. We have defined this all the Maq through ae permissive or as reasonable as possible using the existing situation that Me have now and trying to allots for the future. And there's not much Me can do. I think that Me have done the beat that Me can, believe me. Mr. Plummer: Let me just give you one thing that during the Governor's growth management committee, if the State of Florida, between now and the year 2000 spent $176,000,000 per year, Me Mill still only be at a 40 percent lower level than standard. To bring it up by the year 2000, you are talking over $200 billion dollars. I am petrified, Mr. Mayor... Mr. Rodriguez: You should be. Mr. Plummer: ... that we are in concurrence with this plan when we have no authority... Mayor Suarez: You had to use that term, concurrence, right? Mr. Plummer: Well, you know, I mean, the state says we've got to ba in concurrence and it's going to be devastating to this City. Mr. Rodriguez: I have to say this... yes... Mayor Suarez: Let me ask a question about the statutory provisions that says the level of services have got to be maintained at the level of the Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. The level of services to whom? In other words, if we said - we could maintain excellent levels of services .to City of Miami residents that don't really need to take U.S. 1. They-could come up...~. Mr. Rodriguez: No, the level of service... Mr. Maxwell: They are set by DOT. Mr. Rodriguez: The level of service has to be defined and the definition that Me have - we are given some definitions in certaia areas that we have to use. Mayor Suarez: Are you saying the statute defines the level of services to whom? Thank you, Clark, I've got somebody back there that's telling me what the statute says. s• Mr. Rodriguez: No. Mr. Whittington: No, we define our own level of service and we've made use of the mass transit system which is way under capacity to account for our level of service so we .can handle it. Mr. Plummer: You jump from one big deficit to another big deficit. Mr. Whittington: We've combined the two and averaged it out and it gives ua y capacity. , ti -,~ Mayor Suarez: OK, what I'm saying is that if the level of services is~ to Miami residents who don't need necessarily to use U.S. 1 coming in then Mere in much better shape than if we have to provide now for the needs of people outside our jurisdiction. OK, Commissioners, anything else on this issue before you hear from objectors? I'm sorry, anything more from the ~: presentation? Joe? ;; Mr, Joe McManus: Mr. Mayor, members of the Commission, Joe ~lc~lanus, aesistaat director of the Planning Department. Looking at pages 2 through k of the main' '~ ; ~ - #~,~. -- ,. -- -- -- a; __ _- ,. ~, - ~~ ~ ~~ • s t~a~-smittal memo, I'm going to take about five minutes and quickly - try and quickly go through this before the 'public comments. Let me, first of all, I'm looking at page two, g4 fhrn~.rt. +ti.. di-~^tion^ the Commissior. bane ^_? '.-,., weeks ago on January 26th. Just quickly refreshing pour memory, the Commission designated the fronting properties on Biscayne Boulevard from 6th Street to 11th Street from office to restricted commercial. Next, in the remainder of the Southeast Overtown/Park West area running to the west over to Miami Avenue, there was a new land use designation made and we've characterized that as restricted commercial Southeast Overtown/Park West - the distinction being that that includes warehousing and offices, warehousing and retail showrooms. Now, we have been in telephone conversation with Mr. Cardenas who made the request on that particular definition. It is our understanding the Mr. Cardenas has receded from that position; I think there is a representative here from the Greenberg Traurig firm who may verify that. Mr. Olroedillo: If I may expand on it, I met with Alberto Cardenas yesterday for some time and his representation to me was that they agree with what we originally had proposed for it which is the restricted commercial. However, and I must qualify this, he did not deliver anything in writing to me and he said he was going to excuse himself for not being here today because he was upstate somewhere, I don't remember where, but there were going to be people from either his office or the property owner representative at this hearing. Mayor Suarez: Do we have either one of those at this point so we can get that clarified? Sheila Wolfson, Esq.: Yes, my name is Sheila Wolfson, I'm an attorney with Mr. Cardenas firm and I am here to confirm that, in fact, we wish to go back to the original designation that was suggested by the Planning Department. Mayor Suarez: Which accords with our plaaning of goals for that district although I'm not sure... Mr. McManus: Mr. Mayor, if you receded back... Mayor Suarez: ... our goals will necessarily be carried out by this change; but I'm glad that everybody agrees for a change. Yes, Joe. Mr. McManus: If that were to happen, that would revert back then to restricted commercial and if the Commission were of a mind to do that, we would need some expression from the Commission to rescind motion 89-86. Mayor Suarez: That's what I'm about to ask my Commissioners to do if no one has any objection. Moved. Mrs. Kennedy: Second. Mayor Suarez: Seconded. Call the roll. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner De Yurre, its adoption: MOTION N0. 89-120 A MOTION RESCINDING M-89-86, PASSED ON JANUARY 26, 1989, AND REVERTING THE AREA BOUNDED BY N.E. 11TH STREET, N.W. 1ST AVENUE, FEC RIGHT-OF-WAY AND N.E. 2ND - _- - - - -- - - _.- _ _ ,...,.-s ~ - ~-ice Mayor Victor De ~turre Mayor Xavier L. Suarez NbBS: None. ABSENT: Commissioner J. L. Plummer Jr. (NOTE: Although absent during roll +cail, Commissioner Plummer later tagbestad of the Clerk to show him voting yes on the above motion.) Mayor Suarez: Thank you, angthing else? Mr. McManus: Mr. Mayor, quicklq continuing on that, two weeks ago this Commission changed the designation for the so called extra site on the south side of S.W. 8th Street. You then directed us to undertake a studq of the east side of Douglas Road extending from 3rd Street to S.W. 7th Street and a companion studq on both sides of LeJeune Road from S.W. 2nd Terrace to 3.W. 7th Street, bring those studies back today. Those studies are attached as attachments B-1 and B-2. The Planning Department has gone out in the field sad examined lot bq lot those areas and we are suggesting in both instances that no land use designation change is appropriate. Continuing on... Mr. De Yurres What do you base it on? Mr. McManus: Commissioner, we have two attachments there... Mr. De Yurre: Um hum, which I got. Mr. McManus: Items B-1 and B-2 and we've examined that, both those areas of both predominantly residential. We think that the intrusion of office or commercial space into a residential area would be a commercial intrusion into the area and would establish possibly a domino effect for a later intrusions of .commercial into the residential areas. Mr. De Yurre: How many properties there - let's look at LeJeune east of between Flagler and 8th Street on the east side of LeJeune. How many properties are being used today commercially, up and down? What percentage? - Mr. Olmedillo: There's only one on 8th Street which is the Anthonq Abraham property and one down on Flagler Street which is the gas station and the office building right next to ft. Besides that, on everything else is either _ residential, multi family, single family or duplex and a couple of churches. Now, on another meeting that I held with property owners of that area... Mr. De Yurre: Now, who was out there? Who went physically out there to check those properties? Mr. Olmedillo: I was there and the planner for the area was there.- - Mr. De Yurre: You didn't see offices on LeJeune. Mr. Olmedillo: There are two offices. One office, which is owned bq an attorney by the name of Sanchez Lima who is at 2nd Terrace and LeJeune: Road and there's another office across the street on 3rd Street and LeJeune. I didn't have time to check on the records of the Building and Zoning Department to see if this is a legal or legal non conforming or a legal office there* But there is an office there. Besides that, there are no offices. Now... ~- Mr. De Yurre: There are no real estate offices there also? -s ~ <: Mr. Olmedillo: Not that we could depict. We found all the .properties aad~on t ~; page i3 pf your packet, qou will see a land use analgsis.that:vr¢ made prppe~ty -~: bq property going from Flagler Street. all the pay ao ~ Sth: Street... ~You:wi:li ` fiad from -Flagler to 2nd Terrace, you do :find offices, but.. that <ia an' office ~;, r designation right now. _. x. ~~~ Mr. Plummer: Are qou speaking LeJeune or Douglas? a;- - BLS Mr. -0lmedillo: LeJeune, .sir. ,,, . , , , ~ ;: ~ „~~ ti° • dlr.

'~~ x - -- _ _ --~, - ~ ~_ == -. _ ___ __ _ - -~ ~ • Mr. Olmedillo: Now, south of 2nd Terrace, what you find is basically duplex, 4ingle family and multi family - Bahama Gardens Apartment ~;hicr ~~ .. __ '.'.~ :: =. :.t side. There's a church, the church that was going to be converted into St. Thomas. There's another church down on 5th Terrace but besides that, everything there remains residential. Now, on a meeting that I held with the property owners of the area about a seek ago, they had a different feeling that the motion that originally the Commission made, you moved for a commercial, restricted commercial use, they were speaking about an office use. Mr. Plummer: Yes, but you see, let me tell you something. You're speaking to the zoning and the compatibility and that's very important. But let me tell you what you're not speaking to which, to me, is very important. The greatest fear I have of change on either LeJeune or on Douglas is that transitional use. Now, unfortunately, two years ago I could not eliminate, I tried to eliminate transitional use. But let me tell you something, my friend, LeJeune Road, in my estimation, is no more conducive to residential living than the - man in the moon. That is a damn speedway, it is a high density use of that road and to me that is not conducive to residential. Forty miles an hour, I - don't know how many cars a day it carries, and Douglas Road is really no _ different, I use the same argument on N. w. 22nd Avenue. when they made that four lanes and 40 miles an hour, it, to me, it is not residential nature. It is dangerous, especially if you want to try to raise children. So, I think there is a consideration but my fear has to be in the transitional use when it could, in fact, encroach back into a residential neighborhood. To me, we've - always done a zoning matter based on a buffer, a buffer between something heavy and residential and I just don't see that LeJeune Road as a buffer. - Now, you know, I hope the day comes where this Commission will go back and reconsider eliminating transitional uses, I think they're bad. That's my personal opinion. I respect my colleagues having their own but I just do not see LeJeune or Douglas Road being residential in nature. I have to put that on the record. Mr. De Yurre: Let me tell you, looking back at the makeup of this corridor, if you'd start out at Flagler Street, the first residential property that we find is past 4th Street, the first one. Mr. Plummer: On which side of the street? Mr. De Yurre: On the east side. On the east side. Mr. Olmedillo: On the east side of the street. Mr. Plummer: On the east side, yes, but not the west side. - Mr. De Yurre: You got to go up four blocks before you find any residential properties. Mr. Olmedillo: May I suggest, Mr. Vice Mayor, the office located on 2nd Terrace and LeJeune Road on the east side... Mr. De Yurre: Uh huh. Mr. Olmedillo: ... it's a home occupations office which is ~-ithin the residential use. Mr. De Yurre: I'm looking at the... Mr. Plummer: Yas, but that's a hiatus at best. i a Mr. De Yurre: Any which way you look at it, the majority of this corridor on the east side is not residential. It's not, let's face it. Parking, 8th Street, you've got to go down to 6th Street before you find single family, you - got to come in two blocks on one end you got to go up four blocks on the other - one and you just try to protect a one block area where there are some apartment buildings there and that's it. So, I don't see where, you know, you can come in and say that you got to maintain the character of this area when ~: there's none at all. That's my opinion... Mayor Suarezs Anything further on this issue before we residents, property owners, whatever) 13 Mr. Olmedillo: The only thing that i aant to put forth ass that difftreht r+5t:traty to shat your first motion eras to stove it ail the say to a com-nercial use, tha opners pare speaking of an Beet... ~~^~ Mayor Suarez: What pouid ±ne land use designation ba if ae sere disposed to go along with their... Mr. Olmadillo: Office. Mayor Suarez: ... office. OK. Mr. Plummer: Well, gait a minute, Mr. Mayor, maybe we can short circuit. Ara any of the people panting to talk opposad to a change? Mr. Mayor, I think we have to remember that pe're doing a tpo step process. Because today pe might designate for the Comprehensive Plan land use doesn't automatically change it. IL would have to go through later a zoning procedure and I want to tell you, I, for one, am ready to make a motion to designate the land use - doesn't - change a damn thing tomorrow than ghat you had today. Mr. Maxwell: Mr. Plummer. Mr. Plummer, excuse me. _ Mr. Plummer: Sir. Mr. Maxwell: Under state law now, the statutes require that within one gear of our having transmitted the plan to Tallahassee... Mr. Plummer: Correct. Mr. Maxwell: ... which was last September. Now, this coming September, wa are going to have to bring ordinance number 9500, which is the zoning _ ordinance, in compliance with the comp plan. Mayor Suarez: Well, what he's saying is that at that time we can go into all of the implications of this and conceivably change our minds. Mr. Maxwell: Well, at that time gou'd have to do two thiags. Either .you would have to rezone in compliance with the comp plan... Mr. Plwamer: Right. . Mr. Maxwell: ... or you'd have to amend-the comp plan. Mr. Plummets When you turn it down.

Before we take any testimony, I guess we have to swear in anyone who's going to address this and presumably only if you're objecting because, otherwise, as Commissioner Plummer's indicated, we don't need to go through ali the supporting testimony. Why don't you go ahead and administer to anybody who might want to be heard on this any hoa. Piease, anyone who may want to be heard on this please take the oath. THE CITY CLERK ADMINISTERS THE OATH TO THOSE PERSONS WHO WISH TO BS HEARD ON THIS MATTER. Mayor Suarez: Counselor, why would this not be acceptable? Mr. Helfman: OK, fist of all, what happened at the last meeting... Mayor Suarez: Name please. Mr. Helfman: OK, my name is Steve Helfman. I'm an attorney with Fine Jacobson and I represent a property owner along Douglas Road, Mr. Ernesto Montanare. First of all, at the last meeting what was done is, and there was a motion by Commissioner Plummer to approve restricted commercial on both of these corridors and what the instruction and caveat was that you may change your vote on second reading depending on what you hear from staff. But so now you've made a completely different motion contrary to what the first one was, now you've gone to office as opposed to restricted commercial which you, on first reading, you voted for. Mayor Suarez: Because we assumed that we were - I think we assumed that we _ were doing it so it would allow for offices. What does your client want to do that does not fit into that? Mr. Helfman: OK, with respect to Douglas Road and I can't speak to LeJeune Road because I don't know the condition there. The reason, and there was a presentation which I'll save you from this time, but the reason that you did restrict it commercial is because we showed you that the only area.... s Mr. Plummer: OK, whoa, whoa, excuse me, let me stop you, Stan, because I have to be corrected in my motion and that is that we designate all properties that are not already commercially zoned to an office use. That'll cover it. In _ oth er words, if your's is presently zoned RC, restricted commercial - oh, you 're not. Mr. Helfman: No, no. Mr. Plummer: You got a problem. Mr. Rodriguez: Is this LeJeune what you're talking about sow? Mr. Helfman: No I'm talkin about Dou las. B 6 Mr. Rodriguez: Why don't we wait on that issue until we get there, which is. -the next issue? Mr. Helfman: We are there, the motion included both corridors. Mr. Plummer: No, my motion spoke to both. Mr Rodriguez: Oh. 7 7 ;,;. May or Suarez: Do you want to split the motion so we can get LeJeune done? ~,=_ <„ Mr. Plummer: If you want, that's fine with me.

Plunreer: Mr. Mayor, once again and I'm sorry to be repeating myself, but t want these people to knoll that ali we have done is left the door open. It is not changed one iota your use tomorrow morning. It'll have to come back before this Commission in a regular zoned item at which time we might approve or disapprove or modify. So I cant that to be understood. Mayor Suarez: And at which time I have feeling we're going to get into the issue that you brought up of not alloaing the transitional use issue to permit this to go on and on and on off of 37th or Douglas - I mean LeJeune in that case and I'm not sure hoe we're going to do that but I know that our planning... Mr. Plummer: Oh, it's very simple, Juat change the ordinance. Mr. Rodriguez: We take care of that. Mayor Suarez: ... department can come up with a great means of assuring that. OK, call the roll on that motion. Mr. Rodriguez: Slowly, but we'll do it. Mr. Plununer: You'll bring the developers out in mass. Mayor Suarez: Call the roll on that motion, please. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Plummer, who moved its adoptions MOTION N0. 89-121 A MOTION TO AMEND THE MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN, FUTURE LAND USE PLAN MAP, BY DESIGNATING THE FRONTING PROPERTIES ON BOTH SIDES OF LE JEUNE ROAD (S.W. 42ND AVENUE) FROM S.W. 2ND TERRACE TO S.W. 7TH STREET FROM MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO OFFICE DESIGNATION; FURTHER INSTRUCTING THE CITY MANAGER TO DIRECT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO BRING BACK RECOMMENDED 20NING CLASSIFICATION PRIOR TO THE COMMISSION MEETING SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 1989 (Note: The substances of this motion is contained in - Ordinance 10544 passed in connection with this item.) Upon being seconded by Commissioner Kennedy, the. motion was passed and adopted by the following vote: y' ~ `' Mr. Helfmsn: Steve Helfmsn again, the Douglas Road. The reason I believe that you deai.gnated it restricted commercial last time was because we made a ~:lear !ha`-s~p thA* the only area left oper. ^N~ ~~• ~~sigr.°±ec+ as commercial was this section here between... Mr. Plummer: Seventh and 6th Street. Mr. Helfmsn: ... Sixth and 3rd - between 6th and 3rd. By designating it office, you're still going to create a hybrid there or a unique situation because the rest of the designations along that corridor are commercial. To go to a restricted commercial would be consistent with everything that's there. To go to offices now... Mayor Suarez: is that true on the east of the 37th only, not the west? Mr. Helfmsn: Yes. Bast of 37th just north, Just north of 8th Street. Mayor Suarez: How much of the property on the west of Douglas fs fn the City, if any? Mr. Helfmsn: None of it. Mr. Plu:mner: Quite a bit of it. - Mayor Suarez: None along that strip. Mr. De Yurre: No, not there. Mayor Suarez: OK, so we're certainly not going to... Mr. Helfmsn: Not along that strip, that strip... Coral Gables. Mr. De Yurre: That's all Coral Gables. Mayor Suarez: We're certainly not going to take any action on aaything that's not our Jurisdiction, OK. Mr. Helfmsn: No. So a restricted commercial classification is consistent with what's there and I think that's the reason you made your motion and there - was a unanimous approval last time. Mr. Plummer: Yes. _ Mr. Helfmsn: The only issue was whether Commissioner Plummer was going to change his vote the second time through depending on what he heard from staff. What we've heard from staff is that to leave it residential because it will be - an encroachment into a residential area. There's no encroachment here, we're talking about a strip on Douglas Road. Mr. Plummer: No, not as it faces the street, the encroachment is behind. = _- Mr. Helfmsn: Right and we're no encroaching. Mr. Plummer: Well, but you see the problem is - and here again, I get back to is that damn thing called a transitional use - that's the problem. Mr. Helfmsn: That's 9500, that's being supposedly revamped and if you're going to eliminate that, you'll eliminate it that way. But this is a concept of land use and there's no encroachment. In other words, the basis for their recommendation is that it should remain residential because to allow it to go to commercial would encroach into the residential neighborhood. This is the _ farthest thing from a residential neighborhood on that corridor. So I would ask that you go ahead and approve this on second reading as you approved it the first time. Because I think the report that you asked for is Just ridiculous. To suggest that this should remain residential is foolish. Mr. McManus: Mr. Mayor, members of the Commission, I would just like to point `: out to you that page 17 in your package is the attachment and shows the land uses along the east side of Douglas all of which are multi family. ,rA. Mr. Plummer: No, that's not true. Mr. Hellman: That can't ba, I mean, we got zonings here that are CR's Mr. Plumm~rr *^*, ..-•• ~^' ~r^-ery ctore, you got a used car lot, you got dffices, you got a restaurant, you got a filling station, that's not a true statement. Mr. McManus: Commissioner, I'm talking about the area between 3rd and 6th which is... Mr. Plummer: You didn't say that. Mr. Hellman: I will tell you that there's a body shop right on that corner and how they can saq that there's residential uses there is beyond me. Mr. Plummer: Well, the question in my mind is, should it be residential, the answer is no. How much do you go into the commercial area and what is the cut off point is really the question before us. Mr. De Yurre: I thick we got to make it uniform, J. L. You know, as uniform as to what exists there as possible. Mr. Plummer: Victor, I have no problem with making it uniform. I'll tell you what, you want to pass a motion right now to eliminate transitional uses from - our zoning code? I'll vote for it. Mr. Dawkins: So move. Mr. Plummer: But the problem with the transitional use... Mr. De Yurre: Second. Mr. Dawkins: Second, second. So moved and second. Mr. Plummer: That's fine with me. I want to tell you, you're going to have a cast of thousands down here for the hearing. , Mr. De Yurre: Well then, don't bluff it. You know, don't bluff it. Mr. Plummer: Hey, listen, I got no problem. Mayor Suarez: Well, I think that... Mr. Dawkins: We buy all wolf tickets. Mayor Suarez: Let the record reflect. that the sale of wolf tickets is•an expression. It means that he may not mean what he's saying, I don't know what it means.. Mr. Plummer: You'd better have the hearing in the Orange Bowl. Mayor Suarez: But I have been sold wolf tickets before, I just... Mr. Plummer: I'll move it. Mayor Suarez: I think that what you're thinking about, as I am and thereat of us, is that these areas that we're considering now for changes of land -use a designation, we ought to figure out a way to not allow the transitional areas around those... Mr. Plummer: But, you see, you can't do it because the.... Mayor Suarez: ... or the transitional zoning... - Mr. Plummer: Excuse me, I'm sorry. The 9500 speaks to the total ordinance, ~~ 3< to the- total .City and the problem is that my understanding you cannot designate some areas for transitional and others you can't. Transitiondl'i~ _ -4 uniformly applied wherever commercial zoning appears is the City and. you can't be specific is my understanding. And that's what killed it before. The people on Coral Way came out in.,. ~ Mayor Suarez: It's a Catch 22 because if we change the zoning for something, then you automatically have transitional zoning to property adjacent to it..:' ~ 18 8ebruary ~, 1~89~ ~* ~~ ~~~ .~ , r~ ~ ~ z - hr. Plummer: Exactly. Mayor Suarez: ... and that's where wt'd like to not have it and yet the people Mho bought with transitional zoning applicable to the properties that they already have, feel that they're being deprived of their rightful use of property. Mr. Plummer: Well, you know... Mr. Rodriguez: We're addressing that issue in the review of the ordinance. Mayor Suarez: You are addressing it? Mr. Rodriguez: We are addressing it. i don't know if it's going to be to your satisfaction but we are and I think that we're going to have a solution that might be reasonable. Slow, but reasonable. Mayor Suarez: Slow but reasonable. Mr. Rodriguez: The only issue though in your... Mayor Suarez: That's the definition of the Planning Department, slow but reasonable. Mr. Rodriguez: I will add to the... Mr. Plummer: Or emphasis on the first. Mr. Rodriguez: Accurate is the next one. The other issue here is whether qou want to change the whole strip commercial or only the portion where you have existing commercial now which is from 6 to 7. Mr. Plummer: Sergio.... Mr. Rodriguez: Why go all the way? You have multi family, who's going to change that? - Mr. Plummer: Sergio, would you live on Douglas Road with a family? Mr. Rodriguez: I wouldn't but obviously about more than one hundred and so many people live there because it's multi family and it's doing all right. - How many... Mr. Plummer: Would you move there tomorrow with your family on Douglas Road1 - Mr. Rodriguez: With five kids, there's no apartment big enough for me! _ Mr. Plummer: We do not have a classification of zoning for sexual maniacs. .`~ Mr. Helfman: We have a single family house there if you'd like to have that. Mr. Rodriguez: Innocent Catholic. Mr. Plummer: See, you know, I have to concur, Stanley, with you, OK, that it should be, but my fear is when you speak of the domino theory the transitional is the greatest offender of the transitional use. Mr. Helfman: I couldn't agree with you more but you're not going to accomplish anything there by going to office because the transitions can go all along - if you leave us at office, you're still going to have the ability of all the people all around these boundaries to go to transitional sad encroach into the area. - Mr. Plummer: They have that opportunity today. Mr. Helfman: Right now.

Mr. Maxwell: You can't do it today, you just put staff on notice. Mr. Rodriguez: You cannot do it, no. To have a public hearing and... Mayor Suarez: And I think that those kind of hearings would have to take place after 5:00 p.m. because of another little section. Mr. Rodriguez: Yes, and we have to go to the Planning Advisory Board and it's long Mayor Suarez: OK, how about on his request so we can get moving with item one and a few others that we have today? Mr. Plummer: Well, Mr. Mayor, without the protection of the transitional use being eliminated, I'm sorry, I can't vote for it, even though I concur. I think it should be changed. But without that transitional use eliminated, we're - creates the creeping crud, I can't vote for it. Mayor Suarez: Somebody else want to move it so we can get out of here?

COMMENTS MADE DURING ROLL CALL: Mr. Plummer: For the reason so stated, i have to vote no. COMMENTS MADE FOLLOWING ROLL CALL: _ Mayor Suarez: Is there anyone else that rishes to be heard on item 1? Don't tell me that you have something else? Mr. Helfman: Yss, I have something else. It'8 not site spec if ic. Dave Whitting... Mayor Suarez: Joe, wait a minute, wait a minute, Joe. Mr. McManus: We have a couple more items to go here, Mr. Mayor, very quickly. For the record, there were statements made last week and we want to have the _ opportunity of stating on the record that the so called Commodore Bay property _ in Coconut Grove is bounded on the north by the City's Peacock Park, a public park, is bounded on the south by the Barnacle, which is a state park, that's _ also a single family residence, if you will, and all the land use southerly along the bay south from so called Commodore Bay property, is single family estate zoning and use. Continuing on, we have further items on this agenda immediately following this and I don't know, Mr. Mayor, whether you want to consider these items now for the land use designation in the 1989 plan - the - subsequent item is referred to changing the '85 plan. Let me quickly go through these. On item PZ-2 from the January 26th agenda which is also item 2 on today's agenda, you instructed the Planning Department to do a study of N.W. 22nd Avenue, particularly the properties at 2822 to 2838 22nd Avenue, that study is attached as attachment "C". The Planning Department does not recommend a change in land use designation. We think that a change in land use designation would represent a commercial intrusion. The Commission,- in your wisdom, of course, has directed a change to restricted commercial in the 1989-2000 plan. On item PZ-4 from the January 2bth which is item 5 on today's - agenda, the Commission continued that, took no action on it so it's still at first reading on-item 5 of today's agenda the proposal was to change the land use designation to commercial residential on the '85 plan, the Planning - Department is opposing that and suggesting high density residential. Continuing on item PZ-10 of the agenda of January 26th, which is item 4 of today's agenda, that particular item was multi family and was changed to office. That change is already shown on the 1989 plan. There are additional changes on the map which I believe Mr. Whittington has already alluded to Thank .you, Mr. Mayor. - a Mayor Suarez: Thank you for setting the record straight on that issue. ,'~ Counselor, anything else and... Mr. Helfman: Yes. Mayor Suarez: ... I know we have Mr. McDonald's.. - :.' Mr. Helfman: Steve Helfman with Fine Jacobson. Dave Whittington of your; _ ~~ staff made a very, very important point earlier and you got off of it and° started to talk about impact fees and everything else. But you have a policy= - ~~: one point, one point, one, which says that your - that states your concurreney policy that certain public services must be in place concurrent with ~~ development. The problem with the policy as it reads right now is that. the '~~_ moment you adopt this plan,'this policy becomes effective. But the state doesn't require concurrency for at least a year and right now there =a -a bill' '~,- pending to extend it further. So there's no reason to bind your+aeif with thy. `"~ Y concurrency requirement before you need to, You see, one" point, pne point; ~ Sk i ; one nays concurrencq applies now, but the state is telling qou, you dpn't~have 'J' ;~ to be, .. _.. ~ -~ ~; ~ > - 7 22 Fsbrua~y 9, ".i9~4 ; `- t,w = ti - ~ ;~; _ :3~s~U • • Mayor Suarez: Why wouldn't we have the most liberal interpretation under the statute? I thought we did it. Mr. Whittington: We simply didn't indicate an effective date. We stated a general policy but we did not say exactly when it would come into... Mayor Suarez: Did the implication of stating a general policy may be that it's i:noediate, that's I think what... Mr. Helfmans As soon ae you adopt this plan and it's more restrictive than the statute, it becomes effective. There's no reason to make it more restrictive. Mayor Suarez: Why don't we go as broad as the statute, please - I hate to have a moratorium imposed. Mr. Helfman: Rxactly. Mayor Suarez: By our own actions. Modify the wording on that. Mr. Whittington: What my recommendation was aub~ect to Law Department's review, is that we make it effective as state law requires. Mr. Helfman: That's the right way to do it. Mayor Suarez: Do we need that in the forn- of a motion, counselor? Mr. Maxwell: I don't think so. I think it's self contained, it takes care of itself on that. Mayor Suarez: OK, anything else? Mr. Helfman: OK. Mr. Rodriguez: Could I bring one more item... Mayor Suarez: Yes. Mr. Rodriguez: ... which I don't think it was clear in my mind, I would like - to get some clarification from you as to what you want to do. When we discuss _ Watson Island last time, as it relates to the Comprehensive Plan, I wasn't - clear exactly what were your intentions as to the use in the island. If we stay with the action that you took last time as to having the classification that we show, that will not allow certain uses in the future such as a hotel, _ for example. So, I need some direction from you because, otherwise, what will happen is that you might not be able, in the future, if you decide to go with - an RFP for a portion of the island, to do anything other than what we have _ -_ except the hotel area and so on. ~ ` Mr. Plummer: Let me - because I'm the one that spoke the loudest on it - I'm _ not opposed necessarily to a hotel. What I was opposed violently to was buildings of mass and height which would restrict the public's view. I think `~ the way that qou ought to approach this, and I don't know if you can do it by - this afternoon, is that I don't think that we have to give a single designation to 80 acres. I think there is the potential that we could put different designations on the island and I think that maybe is the answer because you brought to my attention the problem existing with Chalk Airlines. You know, at this particular point, that matter is far from unresolved and at _ this particular point, they're going to be a nonconforming use at best based on our action of last week. Mayor Suarez: Which is that, which one, I'm sorry? Mr. Plummer: Chalk Airlines. - >,; Mr. Rodriguez: We have for those two areas we have - this is going to come { ~, ~ before you, by the way, the master plan for Watson Island for apprpval in h principle in the next Commission meeting but for today's action on the comp plan, there are two things that you might want to consider. If you waat'to ,: ;~, consider the idea of a possible use of a hotel, you might have to identii~y ~n i~ a ma that g p p portion that we show in the on final lan as a restricted - ,~ul<~ `~ ~~= commercial which is on the.... ~zrx-- r~~F ,. ~- , - - , . ~~ „~:. ~~~-_ Mayor Suarez: n-ap. Mrs Rodriguez: As described in the map. We'11 take it as described iri the ... described in the map and... Mr. Plumper: Now much? My only area of concern... Mr. Rodriguez: it's about 7 acres, I believe. Mr. Plumper: How much? Mr. Rodriguez: Seven acres. Mr. Plumper: Weli, I think that's a lot of property. Mr. Rodriguez: All right? Mr. Plummer: You can surely build a structure - an accommodating structure - in less than 7 acres. Mr. McManus: Tell him it includes the parking. Mr. Rodriguez: If you zeduce the area, you go higher and we don't want that, I think. The idea that we had shown that portion as a - and the size that we _ _ show is so that we could have a structure that might be low in profile and accompodate the parking that would be required. That's one part of the action. The other part of the action might be a change in the definition of - what recreation will allow and I think the staff has some language on that. _ Mr. McManus: If the Commission were of a mind to be more accommodating to Chalk's, we could add a definition that would include marinas and excursion activities and facilities in the definition of recreation. Mr. Plummer: I have no problem with that. Mayor Suarez: OK. Do you want to make that in a motion? Mr. Plummer: I'll move it. Mrs. Kennedy: I'll second. Mayor Suarez: Seconded. Call the roll on that motion..

Mr. Rodriguez: Right. Mr. Plummer: OK? Mr. Luft: We can reduce that. Mr. Plummer: That island is not, in my estimation, the ideal place for a major hotel. It is to be accommodating, hopefully, if rve get the mega yacht situation there, accommodating, not the primary use. Mr. Luft: We could like to have the site flexibility to go to maybe as few as three stories and... Mr. Plummer: If the first one's below ground level. Mr. Luft: And to allow for adequate room for recreational facilities.in the. hotel so we can reduce the seven acres if that's your desire. Mr. Dawkins: Well, I'm going to have to let you know that I'm with you. J.L. and I are on the same wavelength, see. It's no sense in us allowing anybody to block out the view of the bay. -., , Mr. Luft: Right. Well, we can...

R~ E7 Fs~bru;arp ~~ ~~ ' ,;, ,~` ,~, _ r ,~.. - r x i ,~ i H- - -- ~- Mr. Plulo~ner: Give ont to the administration so they can speak to it. Rapid transit, youth 'rh~e +^ ^~~~• t~ home, I see Noc-a-tee. Mr. Rosen: In the items that were brought up in connection with the master plan, it might have been included but I didn't hear it specified. This is an bdd case right where S.W. 22nd Street crosses 32nd Road near Vizcatran. My sister has this house on the corner. Now, I believe on the plan you're recommending that Vizcatran be extended to 22nd Street which would include her property. It looks that way on this plan that I've got which is a good idea. However, the archdiocese might not see the need for it because they don't own it at this time and don't have a deposit or anything on the property. So that if they build a high rise at Vizcatran we have two lots there designated duplex. The rest of the block is designated offices, so it's a case of spot zoning by neglect and I would like to have you recommend that the office zoning include her two lots which is lot one and two in that block because otherwise it will be practically useless to her. The lot is only - the two lots together are 9,000 square feet so you would have a duplex sitting right next to a high rise and on the other side you'd have office buildings. Now, it would be logical for them, of course, to take it over but I don't know if they will or not and by changing it of course the City would get more taxes and it is just good zoning to put this in the plan now so is not a big problem later. Mayor Suarez: OK, staff, what's the recommendation? Mr. Olmedillo: This is kind of new to us anyways, but you may remember that this is right next to the Vizcatran site. Your instructions in past hearings was that the only thing that was going to change was the Vizcatran site. We don't really have any problem technically speaking because it's on the Coral Way and the 32nd Road site. So a designation which is RO-3/6 which is the one that we have bought in the third 22nd Street there and 3rd Avenue. We do not have any problem with that particular land use. However, your direction was the other way. You said, only the Vizcatran site would be the one change in land use designation or zoning and the rest will remain as is. Mayor Suarez: And, actually we didn't... Mr. Plummer: Well, there's another fear there, Mr. Mayor. And that is that the Vizcatran site is limited somewhat in height by the ground space that they have. If you get additional ground space, one of the main concerns of this Commission was, as I recall, reducing it from eleven stories to eight and if you give them the opportunity to have more ground apace, you're going to be back up to 12, 15 and 18 stories which those people in that area were violently opposed even to the eight stories. Mayor Suarez: Now, the Vizcatran site, the land use designation is not changing in character just in density, right? Mr. Olmedillo: That is right. Mayor Suarez: Sut he wants to change his property as to actual designee. Mr. Olmedillo: Land use designation which will be an office. Mayor Suarez: From what to what exactly? Mr. Olmedillo: From a residential to an office. Mayor Suarez: And it's right behind those lots that are bordering on Coral Way or it's right in those lots? Mr. Olmedillo: It's north of it on 32nd Road and approaching 3rd Avenue, going towards 3rd Avenue. Mr. Dawkins: If we made the change as requested, wouldn't that enhance the owners chances of really obtaining a better price for their property rather than if we leave it zoned like it have, the owner would be at a disadvantage? `E Mr. Olmedillo: It would certainly will it, sir. Yes, the answer is yes. --~----,-..,-mss P;,-=-. ~ ,, • w tlr. $avkitlss It makes good Zoning, sir, so that your sister could have a ~s,.w-• ,,e ~~.+~«~ Mti~« er!rybody else is getting for their property and I'tn Mith you ayhundrsd percent. I don't have no problem. I don't know nothing about the Zoning, I know human aspect of it is that your - the owner of the property should not b® penalised and not being able to receive a fair value for their property when other people in the area had gotten it. That's all. Mr. Rosen: I agree. Mr. Dawkins: Move it. $ut there must about... J. L. , I mean somebody over there... Mayor Suarez: We have a motion, do we have a second? Mr. Dawkins: Wait though, but - hey, Mr. Rodriguez... Mr. Rodriguez: Sir. Mr. Dawkins: How can we move this and ensure that at no time sill it bs added to the Vizcatran property in order to increase the height of the apartments? Mr. P1usrBner: That's the problem. Mr. Rodriguez: You can only restrict it in the land use, sir. You cannot. Mr. Dawkins: Well, I have to withdraw my motion, Mr. Mayor, because the people were very adamant, the citizens, when they came here before us, theq did not want anything above seven stories. I'd like to help you but it can't ba done.... Mr. Plummer: You got it down from eleven to eight and they were still adamant about eight. Mayor Suarez: And let me say that the situation there is pretty . indeterminate, I mean, it is not clear at all what will go on there and it's _ _ conceivable that at some point we may reduce the zoning for the whole property - right back to what it was before we rezoned it. Mr. Rosen: Well... Mayor Suarez: It was part of a three pronged project of affordable housing of; which the other two prongs have been completed and people are living in them and this one got nowhere, so it was somewhat of a selling of wolf tickets to use an expression of one of my fellow Commissioners here today. Mr. Rosen: Well, what I was asking for is just to extend that office zoning to include hers because from what you're saying the Vizcatran wouldn't take tt _ because they wouldn't be able to go over these eight stories and for her to have a duplex and then next to a high rise and next to offices and there's :a movement afoot to develop that block into offices. - - Mayor Suarez: We maq be able to stop that movement at some point. It's still indeterminate. OK, anyone else on this item? One, counselor.

Mr. McDonald: I apologize to the Commission because I just learned of this last night otherwise I would have given you - I would have talked with staff and I stand corrected if what I say is mistaken but what I represent to you is honestly believed to be exactly true. This property is immediately east - it is adjoining 22nd Avenue and on the south side of the Miami River. Tract A is zoned waterfront industrial and has been used as a public yard waterfront industrial use forever. Mr. Plummers Uh ah. Mr. McDonald: Immediately south - well, for a very long time. Mr. Plummer: You know what that property was originally. Mr. McDonald: I don't know what it was originally, no. Mr. Plummers I do. Mr. McDonald: But it's been a boatyard for a long time. Tract A does not go all the way down to South River Drive. There is three lots, lots one, two and. three in block one of Durham Park that block tract A from South River Drive,. from the access road to South River Drive. When they improved the bridge, it became impossible to get to tract A off of 22nd Avenue so the only access really now fs off South River Drive. Lot one and lot two - I'm sorry - lot one was zoned waterfront, is zoned, has been zoned, waterfront industrial, _ providing the access. Lot two and three were recommended in the September -'85 master. plan to also be waterfront industrial. We own lot two. The present _ change was not specifically advertised as an intended change by staff. I don't know whether they intended the change to roll back the zoning or the master plan use of lots one, two and three, but it is a roll back. Aad, as I say, I apologize, I would be able to tell you this if I'd known about it before after I west home last night. First off, I think it's only fair that what has been planned as waterfront industrial up to now in the past zoning, and is the past master plan, be continued and if you're going to make a specific change that property owners affected by that change should be notified - I know you give them general notice but reading a general notice you wouldn't get warning that this was happening and that's why I'm caught short handed and wasting your time with this quick proposal here. Mayor Suarez: Let me ask a question about that. In which sense would the - propoaed land use designation, if ha happened to know that in advance from the notice and from further inquiry, not reflect what we're doing today.? Was it deceptive is any way, was it missing, was it unclear? , 1' Mr. McDonald: Ail I'm saying is that I would have gone over there sad talked Y~ with them and not caught... ~~.

Mr. Olmediilo: Oh, the thing is that - remember that this is a general map, it's not intended to be a zoning map and the zoning categorise, this one could take care of those things. Mayor Suarez: Designation is more brush than the zoning classification? Mr. Olmedillo: Yes, compare it to a sharp pencil to a you know... Mr. McDonald: Yes, but what you're going to do is make us come back to you with a zoning request change on the other lot that we own when, in the past, - I've asked....

That's my opinion at this point. Mayor Suarez: That's another illustration of why the comprehensive master plan doesn't really make much sense in the City it's... Mr. Rodriguez: it's supposed to guide development, it's not a footprint. !layor Su:rez: In a City that already has specific zoning categories almost everywhere. !!r. !lcDonald: Just so that everybody understands, aII I'm asking is that the waterfront indurtriai from the river ga otraight down to the adjoining street.

Vizcatran already, according to the map that I have that I believe you got a copy of, ahoMS that this tMO lots are included with Vizcatran. What I vas asking for, lust in case the archdiocese don't use it, is that it be changed to office which is the other side because it shoMS it right on the map that its set up with Vizcatran. Mayor Suarez: Does the map overlap into his property? Mr. Olmedillos Again, the... Mayor Suarez: The multi family use? Mr. Olmedillos When Me go to this definition, this scale, you cannot pick out parcels, you can pick out major... Mayor Suarez: I got you. Mr. Olmedillo: ... highlights, but not parcels. Mayor Suarez: All right. Certainly, if the archdiocese Mas to abandon its plans or whoever, the property owner, I have a feeling we would look at the entire area once again. At which time, we would look at your lots too. Mr. Roaens So, is it in the Vizcatran... Mayor Suarez: Is it proper for him to get a specification at this point, as - to whether his two lots are meant by the drawing to be included or not =~ included in the Vizcatran... Mr. Olmedillo: We can clarify it on the record and say that they're included or not included, depending on your motion, sir. Mr. Rosen: Yes, well I'd appreciate it if you'd include it while we Mere here so it doesn't leave her an island there. Mr. Plummer: On the record, I will not vote for it because those people of the Roads Section were adamant and all this would do is open the door to allow the potential of a higher building in that area and I'm... Mayor Suarez: I agree and I think that the trend... Mr. Plummer: ... and I'm not going for it. Mayor Suarez: The trend, frankly, is to go back from that zoning if we are ever able to get out of the commitment to build those units there, if anything, so it wouldn't be... Mr. Plumaner: Well, you know, just for the record, Mr. Mayor, I voted against Vizcatran and... Mayor Suarez: You voted against it in the f irat place. Mr. Plummer: ... and its initial issue. 1!

Wolfson: As I said, I'm here on behalf of Coconut investments, tne. in .7une of 1987 Coconut Investments was a successful respondent to an RFP by the Department of Off-Street Parking requesting a plan for improvements to the Coconut Grove Playhouse. Noa, during the past year and a half, up until last weak, my client ass in negotiations with Off-Street Parking and with the state to determine exactly shat the terms of the lease would be. That lease has bean signed last seek and they're nos ready to go foraard under the authority of that lease and begin the development. The problem in this particular situation is that there are several lots, the existing theater property line just to the seat of the theater, they're fenced, they're paved, they're used for parking for the theater. This is an area where under the proposal, the theater would expand. The designation on these lots is presently single family residential, as opposed to the remainder of the theater area that could be encompassed by this project which is commercial restricted. So I aould request you to consider one of two alternatives with regard to these lots that - are presently used for parking, so that we could use them for theater expansion. And the first thing is that if you could amend the single family residential text to allow state owned and operated theaters which would limit it very specifically to this one situation, or, of course, alternatively, you could extend the commercial restricted to the west to include these lots. But that would be your choice in terms of alternatives. Mr. Rodriguez: We have consistently for the last two years been advising the Department of Off-Street Parking and the Playhouse, that we sill recommend completely all the time against getting into the residential area, which is adjacent to. the property. .It's a single family ,area, it's been stable, and we have been meeting before with the residents of the area, Esther Armbruster sad all of the people in that area. .Mayor Suarez: Does the UDP that we put out for the Coconut Grove Playhouse take into account... Mr. Plummer: No, no, it's not our UDP, it's Off-Street Parking. F,t "' Mr. Rodriguez: We told them when ae went through it, that we sill not support ! any zoning change in the area, so I don't know if they are or not. M~ Mayor Suarez: Well, there is a bidder, I believe, and someone who is supposed ~ to be building those. Does that person understand, or that entity that we, at ~; ~'~ this particular point... Mr. Rodriguez: There have been several letters have been Mayor Suarez: have not agreed to change the zoning on those lots? Mr. Rodriguez: I couldn't tell you whether he .understands or not. There have `°- been several letters sent on this issue before to the Off-Street Parkialg. "`'' Mr. Plummer: Hell, do we have a copy of the RFP? ~ r«<_ ,; Mr. Maxwell: Mr. Mayor... n Hr.

Mayor Suarez: No, sir. No, sir, I Mould like the City of Miami, which has sponsored and has brought this project to us, to give me an answer to that question, it'• a vary simple question. Mr. Rodriguez: I can't give you that answer. I can only tell you Mhat Me have told all the May through. Mr. Plummer: All you have got to do is read the RP'P. Mr. Rodriguez: I don't have it here. Mr. Plummer: Well, get a copy of it. Mr. Rodriguez: OK. Mayor Suarezs You knoll, we cannot do things that say, you know, this agency is going to go forward Mith this. That project has been approved by this Commission, presumably has been reviewed by your staff. You are the planners _ for the City of Miami, you have to tell us whether we have in any May mislead anybody, that'^ all I Mant to ask. Mr. Rodriguez: We haven't mislead anybody. We have told them in two letters specifically. Mayor Suarez: I'm sorry? Mr. Rodriguez: We have told them in two different letters to Off-Street Parking specifically that there will be no recommendation for change in zoning. Mr. Plummer: All right now, whoa, whoa, I got a problem with that. You've - told them that you will not recommend. Well, that's a big difference in what you just stated. You stated there would be no change. Mr. Rodriguez: We said that we... I know, I cannot speak for you. only say that we recommend. You make a final decision on that. Mr. Plummer: Yes, but your statement said there will be no change. Mr. Rodriguez: In our position. Mr. Plummer: Instead what I'm correcting is you recommend no change. That's a big difference. Mr. Rodriguez: Sure,~I stand corrected. Mayor Suarez: It's a losing battle here today, I can tell you that. Ms. Wolfson: Well, we are not asking for a change of zoning. I'd like to make that cle ar. Mayor Suarez: Land use designation. - Ms. Wolfson: That's correct, I don't believe that we need a change of zoning, that's not the issue.

I haven't been able to speak to Joe, but Joe is here, Joe Genuardi is here, the Zoning Administrator, he may attest to that, so that will give them a windor of six months to do anything that they need to do under Joe's interpretation. Mayor Suarez: To do anything, meaning to begin the... Mr. Rodriguez: To do what they want to do at this point. Mayor Suarez: The permitting process, or to actually build? Mr. Rodriguez: To go through the process of the building permits, and apply for the building permits. Mayor Suarez: I don't know if that helps you any, but it sounds like you have a... Ms. Wolf sons I don't know that it can be done within six months, that's our problem. You see, it took a year and one-half to negotiate the lease and that ras just final last week, more than that, and... Mayor Suarez: It sounds like you better hurry up. Mr. Plummer: You better hurry! Ms. Wolfson... you know, to do the plans for this large expansion, within six months, and although it will not require a change of zoning, it will require some variances, and a public hearing for that. Mayor Suarez: Yes, we understand that it is an expansion, but I strongly recommend you don't keep calling it a large expansion. I don't think ... do you think you are going to have more opposition from the neighbors if you keep calling it that? It's an expansion. Ms. Wolfson: Just a theater expansion. Mayor Suarez: Thank you for your presentation. I don't hear a motion unless somebody wants to make one. Anyone further on item 1? If not... yes. Mr. De Yurre: Mr. Mayor. Mayor Suarez: Yes. Mr. De Yurre: nne area that I want to bring out to the Commission's attention was one that Mr. Odio and I have been discussing, not really officially, but in talking the last few months, and that has to do with Melreese Golf Course and the possibility of having the option of some day building a hotel on that property, either somewhere along the outskirts of, we are looking right now approximately between Le Jeune and Douglas along the 836 corridor and I would like to get some... Sergio, you've got some information there, as to how it could be doneT Mr. Rodriguez: Yes, if you are interested in doing that, what you'll have to do, is designate a portion of the area adjacent to the bounded on the south by the 836 expressway, on the west by Le Jeune Road, on the east by 17th Avenue. Mr. Plummer: 17th? Mr. De Yurre: No, no, no. Mr. Rodriguez: Excuse me, 37th Avenue, sorry. Mr. De Yurre: It is not the Taj Mahal that we ara talking about. Mr. Rodriguez: 37th Avenue - juat testing to see if you were awake ~ .37th Avenue, and then if aligned ~ parallel to 836, at approximately at a bevel"~f - _ ~- 15th Street and northwest, two blocks, parallel to 836 .going oa a ban ~ ,,F '' 36 Februtyy 9_,...1984 a~. :~;; -- ~~~ :: ~- . ;u __ _ -- - - - - ~, ~. _~_ . .. _ ~. - _~_..._._.~ .~,._~~., ,..~a.~.~._ - - ~ - cofapletely from 37th Le Jeune Road, and to do what Vice Mayor be 4urre is r~lquesting, you would have to designate that area ae restricted commercial. Mr. Plummer: Weli, let's speak to another issue there, because i think the area, the thing that you've got to take into consideration is not Just the zoning and the other area that i think of concern ie the Federal Aviation. 4ou know they raise holy hell when you start talking about above one floor. What doss the flight pattern show as far as height in that area is concerned? INAUDIBLE BACKGROUND COMMENTS NOT ENTERED INTO THS PUBLIC RECORD. Mr. Plummer: 4as, but they've changed the designations after the Sheraton River House got built. That was the reason for the change. Mr. Odio: What we are saying is, you are not going to build a hotel until now, but you don't want to exclude the possibility that some day we can put on an RFP, that a private company can come in, put in a hotel with meeting rooms and have a golf course in back. It would help the golf course and it would provide more revenues to the City. Mr. Plummer: Well, I understand shat you are saying, but I mean, you know, if you could only build a hotel of two stories... Mr. Rodriguez: 4ou will have to comply with limitations. We think, we don't have it here now, that the limitations might be approximately up to 80 feet, but we don't know that for sure. Whatever it is, you will have comply with regulations. It's an approach landing zone, so we have to comply with that. Again, I'm not sure about that information. We will have to get the flight plan. Mr. Plummer: The former planning director said in that area there only should be a golf course or a cemetery for safety purposes. Mr. Rodriguez: That why he is the former planning director. Mr. De 4urre: Well, anyway, I'd like to have that option open, so, as far as the land designation purposes, I would like to move on that so we can preserve that possibility. Mr. Plummer: I have no problem with affording the flexibility in a designation of land use. I'll second the motion. Mayor Suarez: So moved and seconded. And the strip in question is drawn on the map as bordering on what street? i Mr. Rodriguez: 836, Le Jeune. 37th Avenue and a line... Mayor Suarez: Just streets is all I asked for.

Mayor Suarez: Item S. Mr. Dawkins: I vote to deny. Mayor Suarez: We have a motion to deny the Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan designation contained in S. Is this a Planning Department item? Mr. De Yurre: This was continued from the last meeting, correct? Mr. Rodriguez: Right, you asked us to bring it back and to bring it before you. That's what it is, a Planning Department item, but we recommended denial. Mr. Dawkins: It was brought back because we voted to kill it and the counsel wan not here, and we voted to let the counsel present his case, and I'm still _ noting no. - Mr. Plummer: Correct, that's why we reconsidered it. _ Mr. Dawkins: Yes, OK. Mayor Suarez: What is the recommendation of Planning, to deny, right? = Mr. Rodriguez: Denial. - Mayor Suarezs OK. Mr. De Yurre: Let me just state for the record that the only way that I could ever consider voting favorably for this would be if we were assured that .the maximum housing that would be available today, as it stands, we would get a covenant, wherein that amount of housing would go in there, with if there is - _ additional commercial or somethin like that I g , got no problem, but I got to _ _ make sure that we afford as much housing as possible as exists right now. s Mr. Dawkins: Well, I cannot vote yes for this in no way, because it is the same land that's been purchased once from us, and made a profit on and now you are going to rezone it and the .people are going to make a bigger profit on it.- - ~1 1 Let it stay just what it is, they bought it with this zoning on it and °let _ them use it with this zoning on it. ~ r. $ Mayor Suarezs When was it purchased from us?

Mayor Suarez: Oh, you are talking about the condemnation. Mr. Plummer: Soma of it was taken by condemnation, some of it was not, but not ali of it ie... Mayor Suarez: For friendly taking....Are we talking about Overtown/Park West property here? Mr. Plummer: Park West. Mr. Waters: No, correction, Mr. Mayor, Blbert Waters, Planning Department. The area that we are speaking of ie west of the redevelopment area. It is within the... Mayor Suarez: And it is wart of I-95 too, right? Mr. Waters: West of I-95. It is within the Overtown area in general and... Mayor Suarez: No, you're talking about SE Overtown/Park West, the project that It has nothing to do with that, OK. Has the City planned anp projects in this area at all, that we're aware of? Mr. Waters: We've conducted, in essence, we prepared the Master Plan, which incorporates the residential character that presently exists in the area. What we are trying to do is encourage housing on the proposal that the... on counsel is recommending... Mayor Suarez: Housing by the private sector. Mr. Waters: Yes. Mayor Suarez: By the owners of those properties, OK. Mr. Waters: And the proposal that the counsel is recommending is sot within the purview of what we are as the Planning Department would be encouraging, and that is housing for that general area. Mr. Plun~aner: Bxplain the map to me. I understand green is four. Is that other red? And what does yellow designate? Ms. Gloria Fox: Actually it's all subject parcel, but since the City initiated it, when we got responses back from the neighbors, from the owners, saying they were is favor, that's how we were able to indicate it to you. Mr. Plucomer: But am I to assume that the area outside of the green is in public ownership rather than private? In other words, of those two blocks, boa much of it is in private ownership and how much of it is in public ownership? Mr. Terry Percy: All but the 50 foot portion belongs to t he City directly across from the Moon properties. ?.y Mr. Plummer: Is that... ~ ~ ;, ; ,;~ ,~, Mr. Percy: The parking proper ty donated by the County with .the deed ~~ restrictions.

Hirai: Do you solemnly affirm that the testimonq you are about to give oa _ ~ this matter is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, 8o help qou? i Mr. Percy: I do. Mr. Mayor and Commissioners, as you recall, we were here in July of this past year. We requested that the City in your contemplation ~~ including map changes to the State would consider the property, subject - -9 properties today. This Commission asked the Planning Department to study y those areas. The Planning Department undertook, and attempted to get back to _ the Commission prior to the expiration of the year with the results of that study. This is subsequent to our request, an interesting development occurred. The City Development Department placed a companion item before the - City to the Planning Advisory Board, and also to this Commission, designating an abutting property with the identical designation that we requested in Ju1q. This request was not made at the outset. The Commission unanimously approved, in addition to adopting the ordinance designating this -area. The Commission also made a zoning atlas map change, which wsa kind of an accelerated process, if you will, so this Commission has designated in this area, a map change _ asking for what this application is all about. These property owners, Mr. - Yermene, Tom Post... Mayor Suarez: When was that? r. Mr. Percy: This was done November 18th, I have the ordinance numbers bete. - Mayor Suarezs But what year?

Mr. Plummer: No, that's on the east side. - Mayor Suarez: No, 3rd Avenue is on both sides of the expressway. Mr. Waters: It's on both sides, Mr. Commissioner. Mr. Percy: It's vast of I-95, Commissioner. Mayor Suarez: It's one say on one aide and one way on the other. Mr. Waters: It's 3rd Court. Mr. Plummer: 3rd Court, ah! Mayor Suarez: Court, is it Court? " Mr. Plummer: OK. Mayor Suarez: Let's clarify that then if it is Court, please. Mr. Plummer: Yes. Mayor Suarez: .Why did we do that last year? I don't understand. Why would, we change. the zoning atlas last year? Mr. Rodriguez: The property that he was referring to, we felt that there `were. some uses over there that make sense that we continue developing commercial and there was some redevelopment going in the private sector in _that area" and. " Mayor Suarez: This was a Planning Department request? Mr. Rodriguez: The recommendation from the Development Department, in trying to develop that area and the Planning Department, and we felt this specific block, which is the one shown in the .chart, the pen on, we felt it could go to the uses that we proposed, because we are dealing now with two blocks .south of this one, which are different altogether. Mayor Suarez: Oh, I'm sorry, he was talking about the northern property then. _ Mr. Rodriguez: Right, the whole block, but... Mr. Percy: Excuse me.

Mr.~ gaildys No, it is not a nonconforming use now, because we Deese 6ae:k and got the toning change. Mayor Suarets I'm sorrp, it was, OK. Mr. Bailey: it was then. We are in every way trying to create snore private .. investments, development in the Overtown side. That ass the first time we had a person who has been there for quite some time. He has a barbecue restaurant and some residential unite on top. He's going to spend pretty close to $350,000 to build a new restaurant on the vacant site, and some more residential units, •o we came in and asked for the change to accommodate that investment which is on the west side of I-95 for which at the moment the City doesn't have any activity going through on the development. Mayor Suarez: Does it go all the nay from 8th Street to 7th Street, or just _ abuts on 8th and goes half way? Mr. Bailey: It goes from 8th half way. Mayor Suarez: Half way. Mr. Bailey: It's right on the corner. They intend to build a new restaurant there. Mayor Suarez: Thank you. Mr. Bailey: That was the reason we made the request. Mr. Percy: Mr. Mayor, our research show the entire block, you'll notice where the pen is pointed on your map. That block just north of the subject property has the commercial designation. An interesting part of this is that this occurred during the of the Planning Department's study to indicate to the Commission whether they'll recommend approval or denial oa this application. We went before the Planning Advisory Board. We had a favorable recommendation. The Planning Department recommended denial at the PAB level. The Planning Department and the PAB recommended unanimously approval for the - same properties four to five away and we are asking for the same thing. We initiated this request in July. Now, I've heard this morning, Commissioners Plummer and Dawkins indicate that property owners who are denied the benefit that's given to others, that's an unfair treatment, and what we are asking for this morning is not unsound zoning. There may be other reasons that various Commissioners, particularly Commissioner Dawkins may have for not supporting this property, i.e., who the property owners are, and the like. That is not a zoning consideration. When we look at the conditions of this property,- Commissioner, and we look at the impact that this Commission in its wisdom in October-November, Mr. De Yurre and Madam Kennedy moved a couple of these ordinances, they found and adopted the Planning Department's recommendation,, _ then that that property needed some relief. Now, we are 45 feet away, we need additional relief. We'd like to have, as Mr. Bailey suggested, some commercial activity. Mr. Bailey supported this application initially. -The PAB supported it. The Overtown Advisory Board supported us at the PAB level. What we are asking for is nothing other than what the City Development Department and the Planning Department, through the recommendation of their application, that this site be liberalized to include both commercial, Commissioner De Yurre, so we can have residential and commercial. Commercial _ may not necessarily take place. If the market dictates otherwise, we simply need the opportunity, and additionally, we need to .come back before this Commission to have the zoning atlas map changed, and whatever restrictions you'd cant to place at that time, would be the more appropriate time to do so. To deny this application outright, for the reasons that been stated on the' - record, would be an abuse of this Commission's discretion. Mayor Suarez: Commissioner Dawkins. z ' - Mr. Dawkins: Mr. Mayor, counsel, whether I like you, dislike you,:or dan~t ~ know you, put this in the record. Whether I know the owner of the property: ~' don't know him or dislike him, put that in Lhe record. :The: reason that ~h~'m {~_ goting against ft is that staff said they voted denial. Now, when you gQ'to F~_ court, I will go with you, because saes, that's where you are headed, nee. As `~~_ a lawyer, you are building a case.

Miller Dawki~as i^ voting to deny this application on the recommendation of staff, ail right? Mr. Percy: OK. Mr. Dawkins: No, wait. Now, when you talk to me in confidence, and i talk to you, as a lawyer, there are certain things that you discussed, that you don't gst up here and use in order to win a case, in my opinion, OK? So now, from now on, I don't even want... I mean, when you and i talk, you and I will talk in this chamber only, OK? Mr. Percy: Commissioner... Mr. Dawkins: No, no, sir, no, sir, you and I must always be where ae can record what we are saying and everybody know what we are saying, all right? Now, is it clear to you that I am voting with staff recommendations? Mr. Percys I heard you say something earlier on the record, Commissioner, that is what I was referring to in terms of how this property changed hands and the like. Mr. Dawkinss I said things to you in private also and you said things to me in private, but I did not repeat what you said in private. Mr. Percy: OK, yes, I said on the record pertains to zoning. I'm only addressing zoning today, Commissioner, and I respect what you are saying, and I respect your feelings and I'd like to respond if I might. Mr. Dawkins: OK, that's your privilege. Mr. Percy: Now, Mr. Dawkins is indicating that the Planning Department's recommendation ought to be followed. This Commission has not consistently followed the Planning Department recommendations. Now, earlier today and sure later today, if we want to stick around to see, we're going to find that the advice that is being suggested to the Commission is inconsistent. It's inconsistent with the advice that you adopted last time on the adjacent property. You followed that recommendation, you followed the PAB's recommendation. Today, your Planning Advisory Board is saying we recommend approval. We recommend approval! The Planning Department is saying, we recommmend denial. Yet, they've recommended approval on adjacent property. Now, this Commission has the discretion to ignore the Planning Department's .recommendation in light of the foregone reason. We have a packet, a number-of reasons submitted in our corresponding transmittals suggesting to you sound reasons whq this property needs some relief. Mr. Dawkins: For the record... Mr. Percy: And they haven't been addressed this morning. Mr. Dawkins: For the record, Mr. Sergio Rodriguez, is this the first time Chet this Commission has voted with or against the recommendations of the _ Planning Board, or the Zoning Board? Mr. Rodriguez: You take each case independently, and based on the merits of the case. Mr. Dawkins: And the last vote is this Commission's, is that correct, sir?- Mr. Rodriguez: Yes, sir that's what you are here for. - Mr. ., Dawkins: So therefore, in anything that happens, is not law at all.:until~ it's voted on by this Commission, is that right, sir? f Mr. Rodriguez: All the other actions are purely advisory until it get to you and you make the final decision, based on the information you have before you. ~f~f,~ _~ . 1 r;x ~~.~ Mr. Dawkins: And would say sir, that at. al l- times, this .Commission, hate' ~~= operated like that? s~~"° ` = ~ ~ ~_ • ~ Mr.~ Rodriguez: Yea, sir,. always take into sonaidexation _ ~A t .rtl~r~° r, r ~ ~~ y~ r4z f~ ,: - ~, .~., ~~` ~_ - .. . -_ i _~., ,. ~~ v ~ I I ~. ~, ~ - -:.p' _ _ - - 1 Ht.

Mr. Plummer: Let me ask a question. bid I hear you, Percy, state far fhb record that this was approved by the Overtown Advisory BoardT Mr. Percy: No, i indicated that the Overtown Advisory Beard was in-favor of this application. I contacted the chairman and several members prior to going before the PAB, and indicated to them the affected property. First, I went by and talked to all the abutting property owners, Mr. Moon, and I made these representations to the City Commission in July when we were here, indicating that we didn't have any real opposition given. What we wanted was the latitude to be able to go commercial, if the market dictates that, and not be limited to rsaidential. Now, we haven't mentioned... Mayor Suarez: Can we clarify before we go to the next point on the Overtown Advisory Board, Bill? Mr. Perry: Certainly. Bill Perry, 850 NW 7th Street Road, Overtown. Mayor Suarezs Do we have to swear in Bill, Madam City Clerk? Mr. Perry: I hope not. Mr. Plummers Sure you do. Mayor Suarez: Yes. Mr. Perry: Ail right, Overtown, Florida. Ms. Hirai: Do you swear or affirm that the testimony that you 'are about to give on this matter is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, - - so help you God? Mr. Perry: The best I can. To my knowledge, and I've been-president of - Overtown Advisory Aoard now for a little over a year, and nothing .has, come before us relative to this item. I can express the feelings of the board that - we~ support the staff's recommendation as well as support Miller Dawkins' statements. Looking at, it seems a bit ludicrous to us to start talking about _ commercial development as much as we need housing in Overtown. I don't want to get into the technicalities of the zoning issues and all of that, but just based upon the needs of the community and the outcry of that community recently, I don't see you can sit here in good conscience and start talking about converting a property for commercial development for the benefit of speculators. Mayor Suarez: Thank-you. Mr. Plummer: Just to clarify the record, Mr. Mayor, what they are asking here, is not to make this totally commercial, they are asking for the flexibility of doing both, that's what they are asking -for. Now;- gou'kaow, granted, on the 7th to 8th. Street side, that has already been changed to:the flexibility of the residential and commercial, but I don't.-know af:any. commercial area, excuse me, any residential area that isn't :going,to:have.<to: ~-~: have some: commercial .use to support the residents of .that area. The question ~,` in my mind is, how much, what is .the balance of the amount of cotlmaercl,ai` as opposed to residential? _ ~ Mayor. Suarez: Counselor, I'm sorry, Elbert? ;;- ,~~: r~ !!r.

We.:h~-d a private'owp~sr:who boa , ~~~~ '~- ir-tereetod in developing that parcel based on the market apd what- has 4cctrred ~,~+~~ '__= ~¢ ~i yam; _ 48' ~~ebr~uaz'y ~.~ 1~F ~'`'~ r„ri. __ (S _ i«i~ ~ _ ~ ~- 1° > 1 i .~ ~ _~ 'w~ -- ~ a f4~ that change hae been made. We have an applicant who is prepared to start development. As we run south toward the parcel that counselor is speaking of, •++d if you look to the west, Southgate Villas, that again, is a residential townhouse development. We feel if we continue with the CR-1 designation throughout, between 4th Avenue and 3rd Court, that's going to be detrimental to that residence. We want not to encroach into that area, and that's the position of the department. Mr. Plummer: Are you saying then that most likely you would look more favorably if in fact there was an actual application for a parcel that you can deal with individually? Mr. Rodriguez: I think what we are saying is, that we have enough commercial in the area, and we recommending high residential density residency for those - particular parcels. Mr. Percys Mr. Mayor, the Planning Department now is saying todaq in February, that they have enough connnercial. When we were here in July, there was none. We are proposing to be able to service the very residential development that Mr. Waters is referring to. Where would these residents once these properties are fully developed, where the heck can you go to barber shops and you know, take care of the commercial needs? You have a pocket in the north corner, that you just in November made commercial, and now you are saying that it's full and we were under consideration for the study. I presume the study that Mr. Rodriguez is referring to is the study that - prompted them to recommend commercial for this northerly piece, but we haven't seen that study. We haven't had anything on the record to suggest that the study indicates that those few lots would meet the sufficient needs for all the residential around it. The argument don't hold water, it is sot consistent and on the basis of that, I think this Commission would be, should not follow the inconsistent recommendation of the Planning Department. In fact, follow the recommendations of the Planning Advisory Soard, that recommended approval on this item. Mayor Suarez: Would it be a fair statement to say that the residential - stability of the neighborhood increases as you go in a southward direction along NW 4th and 3rd Avenues? Mr. Waters: Yes, it would be, sir. Mayor Suarez: I think that is one of the things that we are trying to protect, frankly, counselors. You know, Lummus Park I think comes in pretty . close to there. We've got elderly housing, we've got a fairly stable residential community as you get closer and closer to... Mr. Waters: One final consideration, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Suarez: I was just going to complete the phrase - as you get closer and closer to Flagler, so go ahead. Mr. Percy: OK, coming south, immediately south of this parcel ie property _ owned by the Brothers of The Good Shepherd. Now, under the present zoning, they could build, and they have indicated in the media that they intend to put some type of accommodation for the place- they would be vacating-near the arena. Now, to the extent that they do what they can lawfully to do on that site, you are going to have a debilitating effect on the residential development across the street, which is what we are talking about, and if they utilize those properties according to what the City would permit them to do -_ under your zoning code, the building code, now you have these properties sandwiched on the north side by this newly designated commercial development, this other residential development that would not have the type of positive reinforcement that would aid and abet those property owners to fully develop their residential unite, if we stay with today's designation. It's so unfair, it is patently unfair, they are going to have tremendous economic lose' and - devaluation by not being able to do what you permitted 45 `feet`' avray.' '' Mr. Wateras Mr. Mayor, clarification, the property just north of the Camillus site, which is NW 5th Street, the City :owns that and there is 'a "deed ~~_ ~~ restriction on that parcel for parking only from Aade County. , X~ Mr. Plummer: That's where the pencil is now pointing? '' 2 het r~ sr Y t ~+~~ _ dart' ~, 9 , ~ ~~ zS T ^ ~~ ~ - _ _ .<._ Mr. Percy: That's less than a full block, though. Mayor Suarez: OK, anything further from our staff? Commission on the motion? Mt. Waters: No, sir. Mayor Suarez: Call the toll. Mr. Plummer: Well, the motion is... Mayor Suarez: Co:mpissioner Plumper. Anything futthei gore the Mr. Plumper: The motion is to deny. Mr. Mayor, I will vote with the motion, but I have to express this on the record, and that is, that on an individual application, this is actually being asked to do in one main swoop. On an individual application, I will reserve my right to think differently and here again, I'm getting back to what I spoke to on Le Jeune Road and Douglas. I cannot envision that anybody would want to build residential adjacent to an exit of an expressway. If that is conducive for residential, I don't know what the hell isl You know, I am not saying necessarily the whole block, but i just can't envision that people would be building high density residential on that third avenue corridor which is the exit ramp of the I-95, which carries tremendous amount of traffic as it abuts the east side of that area, so I'm sailing that I'll vote with the motion today, that in total, but as far as individual applications, I reserve my right to change my vote. Mr. Percy: Clarification, Mr. Mayor, on the motion, Mr. Dawkins has indicated that he is moving to follow department recommendations, that would mean to... I presume, I'm asking for clarification, would that be to deny our request for the commercial-residential and to grant the Planning Departments recommendation for high density, which would be in effect a map change? Is that the...? Mayor Suarez: Is it in effect a map change? Mr. Waters: Yes. i Mr. Rodriguez: Yes, that is what we recommended, yes, to high residential. - Mayor Suarez: Does that constitute also an ordinance? _ Mr. Maxwell: Yes, it would. Mr. Plumpers Well, let's understand. Mr. Maxwell: You would have to amend the title before you. Mr. Plummer: For the record, Mr. Percy, you are constantly referred to it as your application. Mr. Percy: No, sir, it is the Planning... our recommendation, our request. Mr. Plummer: Excuse me air, this is not your application. Mayor Suarez: This is the first time I remember a motion to deny an application being in the form of an ordinance, but I guess... Do we need.to read an ordinance pursuant to that motion then? Mr. Maxwell: Sir, what you have before you is a ordinance which would rezone 4_ from moderate-high density to commercial-residential. roe ,t; Mayor Suarez: Should we restate the motion to reflect support of that, prdinance, then? ~~_ ~ Mr, Maxwell: That is correct. Now, it will be going from- high density ~<<, x f residential to... +~ ;r"~` Mr. Plummer: No, no, no. `,'r,~~- - l - ~~ - ~ ~ ~t,~ ~ sq geb~u+~rq 9, 19~p ` ,~,~~~ ! - _ ~f ~ .. _~ _ tir.

Mr. Waters: The recommendation is deny on the application, approval of the plan to amend to high density residential. tor. Dawkins: i move that... Mr. Plummer: 8xcuse me, for clarification, where you have the deed restriction on certain properties, shy are you going to designate that as high-residential Then you can only use it for parking based on the deed restrictions? That to me is crazy! Mr. Percy: Makes the map consistent. Mr. Olmedillo: It could be support parking for that residential activity and ' has to be zoned residential. Mr. Plummer: Yes, but you era opening the door for craziness, among this Commission. You know, you cannot use it for other than parking. Why would you make it high density residential zoning? It don't make any sense to me. Mr. Olmedillo: Right nos it is medium high density residential, today. Mr. Plummer: But you cannot use it, you tell me by deed restriction only for parking. Mr. Olmedillo: Right, but if there ie a unified... Mr. Plummer: High rise parking garage, is that what it is? Mr. Olmedillo: No, sir, but if there is a unified development of that block, then, you can take advantage of that land area, and then add it to your F.A.R. calculations. Mayor Suarez: And some part of what it would be a high density residential, would end up being for parking, under those conditions. = Mr. Olmedillo: You could even sell development rights to developers. - Mayor Suarez: Anything that makes a little money.

AtJTHORIZS SXSCUTION OF AGRSKMENT WITH RAYMOND JAML~S AND ASSOCIATSS/HOWARD GARY, FOR FINANCIAL SSRVICSS, CONCSRNING OVSRTOWN/PARK WEST AND OMNI RSDSVSLOPMSNT AR$AS. Mayor Suarez: Item 15. Mrs. Kennedy: Yea, Mr. Mayor. This is for the purpose of the City's financial consultant services. Don't we already have financial advisors that do this work? Mr. Herb Baileys It dose not have any relationship with the City's financial consultants, nor do we have City financial advisors that deal with a specific kind of in-house operation that ae do in SS Overtown/Park West. We are getting to the point sow in SS Overtown/Park West and we'll be getting OMNI to have to deal with some very complicated, very involved type of financial analysis. These new statutes under the tax increment says that if we don't within a 12 month period of time, have some obligations with the use of those funds that go back to the taxing authority. It creates kind of a pressure on the department now that we don't have the financial advisor that we used to have on staff. We had a staff person that was there eight hours a day to do this type of work. This firm, and the person involved with this firm that we are recommending has been working with Overtown/Park West since 1983. A lot of activity has occurred since then. We're now getting to the point that we are going out hopefully for a bond issue some time in April to pay off some debts. We are now beginning to analyze how we are going to begin to develop strategies to buy other land in Overtown as a result of the development tax increment. Mrs. Kennedy: Why can't we have the current financial advisors do the work? Again we are talking about $50,000. It's a New York firm. Mr. Bailey: Their contract does not cover this work. That contract only covers the work that deals with the bond issues for the City. It does not... Mayor Suarez: What is the... Mr. De Yurre: Let me ask you something. What is it that's so special that, and I'd like to hear from Howard, that they can't do? I just like, so I can for my own edification... Mr. Bailey: Five years of experience has already been involved in the project. Mr. De Yurre: You're not answering the question. I want to know what is it that needs to be done that they can't do. of Mr. Baileys Well, I don't think there's anything exclusive that any. other ~ person can't do in any job you have, Commissioner, not being facetious, but- ~: what I'm saying, the talent is to do financial consulting to us. As it is ( with talent, if I were to hire a person for $65,000 or $70,000, it could be done too. I had at one time on my staff a person full time to do nothing all. ?~ day but manipulate numbers. We do number crunching over there like you doa't =; believe, and I guess because when we get here, you only get the results, but °~ you can't imagine the kind of detail that we have gone through to get to where, _ -,f we are in terms of the financial packaging. We got six and seven pieces of ;{ financial packaging in every project. I mean, that's an ongoing operation. It is not something you just take lightly. ~'f. . Mr. De Yurre: Well, let me ask Howard, how do you feel about this, as far as a~ ~ your company's capabilities to deal with the issues here? ~=fi ,, f` - ~ Mr. Howard Gary: Wall, we have the capability. The advantage-that I haws ! is. .. 'a, : .i v } ;i', Mayor Suarez: State your name for the record, please. ~ ~ n '1 Mr. Gary: Iioward Gary, 3050 Biscayne Boulevard,.. is my previous experienc4 as City Manager. Igo back to prior to Herb Bailey. I thick it is icnpor~mnt t t ,- ~, ~~ t 4 t ~ ~ ~ ~~ } _ ~ by ..~°ui~'F~f4,7~ ~~ :.4 .., ..... .. ., .. - .:. to sots that this City Commission had a selection process for financial idvisbcs~ financial consulting Mork, and back in November this City Commission g~ceived the rsnking of three f arms. Hov-ar~ rs*,^ err Cempa~:y and ttaymond dames came in first, Government Financial Research Center and Greatsby Bradford and Company carve in second. The firm that is being recommended Dame in third. I think that it is also important to note that contrary to what is being said here, that when I was City Manager, after I left being City Manager, this City had a financial advisor which is the person that he is recommending, who is working with a different firm, that did all the financial advising work for the City, bhich included all City financial advising consultant work as well as Park Weat/Overtown. Now, we aeem to be attempting to do, to change the rules and come in the back door what we can do in the front door. I also informed the City Cammission that if you look at the recommendations or in terms of scope of services, the same scope of services are the scope of services in terms of what is to be provided by what is being proposed and what we have as a contract. We have the capabilities to do the work. We have been selected as your financial advisors and this is in coaflict with that decision that you had previouslq made. The rules are being changed. Mayor Suarez: Are you implying that it would not cost us anything to have your financial advice on this issue in addition to what we are already paying you for being our financial advisor? Mr. Gary: No, it would cost you, just like it would cost them, just like thep're charging. Mayor Suarez: Are you saying that we would not have a savings? Mr. Gary: Well, I'm sure there will be a savings. Mr. De Yurre: Sure, he is saying there is a savings, if not, you know, what is the use of going to this? - Mr. Gary: I'm sure there would be a savings and I think if you... Mayor Suarez: You want to try to quantify that a little bit? Mr. Gary: If you look at what is being proposed, which is the same services on the contract we have with you. Our fee is $150 an hour, and it goes to $125 and $75; theirs is $175, $125 and $75. I think what is also .important here... Mayor Suarez: Can you do this work for $25,000? Mr. Gary: Can we do this work for $25,000? Well, I think it is unfair to ask -_ us to do the work for $25,000... Mr. Dawkins: No, it is no more unfair, Mr. Gary, than for you to ask me not to give another black a contract. Now, there is another black, and you are - telling me, don't give it to him, so now, if you are going to show me where you are going to save us money, then I'm with you. But if you are just telling me, don't give it to another black because you want it, that's unfair. Mrs. Kennedy: Except that one is local and the other one is based in New York. - - Mr. Gary: Thank you, Commissioner. If I may finish, we had the agreement, ~' what you couldn't do, what some people could not do in the front door, they are trying to do in the back door. Mayor Suarez: Can you do it for $35,000? ,~ Mr. Gary: Let me finish, Mr. Mayor, if I can. ~ _~,} t~. x ~ ~ Mayor Suarezs We've got a lot of other items here.

And if there is a choice to be made, i wc+uld hnpe_ hase~ on what the Mayor suet saifl in the previous comments, that wa need to take care of local black minority businessas first as a priority. This is one of the reasons we got a problem in this town. Bvery Lime we get ready to do something, we've got to go to Atlanta and NeM York to get a black. We got qualified blacks in Miami that ought to be gi~-an an opportunity. Mayor Suarezs Yes, really. Let me ask you... Mr. Gary: We can't... we would do it for... ;. Mayor Suarez: Let me interrupt you because we've got a few... Mr. Bill Perry: May I make one comment? Mayor Suarez: Wait, wait, this is another reason we're having problems in this town, and that is sometimes we don't take into account the concerns and input of the community. Now, what does the Overtown Advisory Board feel about this, and are you prepared to make a recommendation, Bill? Mr. Dawkins: No problem. Mayor Suarez: The reason is, from my perspective, it is a heck of a lot more important right now to get advice on priorities then it is on finances of that prosect, but, I don't know how you feel about it, or your board, if you've thought about this. Mr. Perry: Yes, we've thought about it and talked about and talked about it, and the initial question came up, it sounded like Pat Skubish all over again, but as we looked at it, we said, no, it's not that. I think it is something that is more important than that, Mr. Mayor. I think you need to look at the kinds of money that staff contracts out with, and somehow or another because Overtown is stuck on to it, it seems it is something that should be approved. See, I'm getting to the point that I resent things coming through SE Overtown/Park West, because you are only talking about south of 8th Street, and cartain of the people in Overtown don't feel that. Getting to this particular contract, I certainly support it remaining local, if we have some person already on .board that can do the sob, and when you start putting a cap on it, you didn't put no cap on this! I mean, why are you going to put a cap an ours?. I mean, this man... Mayor Suarez: Well, I thought it had a cap of $50,000. I was trying to save--a little money. -~ Mr. Percy: OK, but I mean, a lot of them negotiate a contract.. =~ Mrs. Kennedy: OK, the Mayor has expressed what he would like to do. What =i ~; if... -. - =j Mr. Perry: I would like to... f Mrs. Kennedy: How do you feel, Howard? - L~ s' ar Mr. Gar s Well I have no y problems negotiating this, .and I don't think iL really has to be negotiated. We have a contract with you to do it now, but i '~ guess my problem is, is that every time someone comes in and decides-that thay ;~ want to take a part of the contract that we have, that we've now got to renegotiate before you, I don't think that is fair to us. I don't thick-you ~ would. do-that with anybody else. I don t think whey you enter into a coatract ;4 with an employee, you now say, well, we got another guy, how about you taking '~_ less? :That's not fairl 1~. 9f Mr. Plummer: I disagree with . my good friend Howard. This to me, ; as -~ I ~ ,s . envision it is an expansion, if we -were to give .it to you, of ~your`:presettt 2 coatract. I don't .think there is any more negotiation to be dose. ` ,~f ~qou ~ ,~~~_ ~~~ 'agreed. to do the initial at, ,what was it, .one hundred :f fifty?' .~, l~r. Gary: Correct. " , t • ~~~ ~ ~ ~~ ti. _ ~ ^S a p ~ ~ r: ~2 +~ ~~ SST s~~.'T J ~~~~, _ C ~ !~ S_~ +~~ !!r. Plumosl•: Theis I think if you want an expansion contract, that's this way that it should be. Now, let me get to another point, and i think this is a ot~int that is being missed. Qne of the areas that I think that has - experienced trouble in the Overtown and the Park West area, is the fact that Mr. Bailey, and I understand that thet's what he should be doing, Beams to feel that that is an area separate from the City. It's not. There is not a Cotsnission agenda that comes through here, that there isn't something on this agenda for Park West or Owertown, and it would seem only logical to me that the same person who is advising this City on its financial matters, should be totally entwined with that other project, because like it or not, they go together and the same dollars are furnishing both. Now, to me to have one man who is over here doing, when the City is going to have to pick up tabs to go back to our financial advisor on the other side, to say, hey City, you got the money, or you don't, it doesn't make sense to mel It seems like to me the area of responsibility for both projects should be with one individual who knows both sides of the street. _ Mr. Bailey: Commissioner, map I speak? I think I need some clarification here and I want to first state for the record that it is not a matter of me against them, it's a matter of what I need to get the job done that you have charged me to do. We, throughout the City, and we have many contracts whereby we have found it cheaper to have consultants on an as needed basis, as opposed to having staff. I want to remind you before that I have had a staff person at one time that was substantially more than what this contract is costing me, and it is not a matter of me trying to bring somebody in the back door, I don't have to do that, in fact I can do the work myself, if I didn't have to do so many other things. It is a matter of whether or not I can get the _ resources to help get this job done. This contract is substantially cheaper, it is not the same as a financial advisor, and not only that, this is the person that Howard had me hire when he was City Manager who has been working with this job for the past five years and it is a matter of experience and I don't have the time. At this point in time we are getting ready to go to the bond market to probably... which he is going to be the financial advisor for, for about $13,000,000. We're not taking work f rom the financial advisor, whatever we do, which is a staff function, and I do a lot of number crunching, a lot of it, and a lot of syndicating and putting together financial... it is a staff function, it is not an advisory function. I don't need somebody to nit down and talk to me. I need somebody to do a job. Now, we have had the financial advisor in the past, right, to do the job that charged us, much more than what we are paying here. It is not the same work. Now, I can hire a person and pay him $65,000, and that's good, you know. OK, now when you say don't, are you telling me how to find ways to get my job done cheaper? Mayor Suarez: Is the person that you keep mentioning that we have not replaced, Matthew Schwartz? Mr. Bailey: No, no, Bob Wilson, and he's been gone for two or three years. I've been... Mayor Suarez: Because I was going to offer Matthew Schwartz' services for free on behalf of the Downtown Development Authority, you know, he gets paid . _ quite well over there, he is not really doing all that much, just yet. Mr. Bailey: No, Matt is not a financial person, unfortunately. He's a ~- fantastic planner and we haven't replaced that, but we're making do. But, my staff has been cut down out of that department, from 23 people to 13, and I just lost another, so I'm now down to 12, and I'm also cutting back with a planning contract. I cannot function unless I have somebody giving me the day to day operations. -i Mr. Dawkins: But you see, Mr. Bailey... ' ~, Mayor Suarez: Yes, go .ahead... ~ - Mr. Dawkins: ... wa cannot be faulted for that. See, if the Manager giv~s_ r you a ton of work to do and you do it with ten people, why in the hall should he give you 15? Now, if some of the work goes undone, then you can go .and. tell the Manager that you need 15 people, but if you got. ten people end getting job done, you don't have no argument, Mr, Bailey. F t ._ Mr. Bailey: Well, it is matter of budget, Commissioner. _ `iy i - ~1:_ - .. 66 Babruarg 9, 19~5~ ~ ~ C4~£~ f - °; ar ~, ~, .<n_ _ - ~ ,~ d - -- - - 6~ ... a tlr. ~aMkins: Although you are staying up half the night doing its OK7 Mr. $ailey: This is not the same thing. Mayor §uarez: My intuitive feeling, myself, is to agree that I'm not sure ~-e need this at ail, but i do have to follow reconrnendations of staff. I Moul+~ feel that we ought be spending a lot more time in the next few months consulting the community as to what to do with that tax increment fund, but i guasa we do seed some financial advisors and I Mould hope that someone who has the existing contract can do it for less, because you already have your staff in place and you already have the City's overall financial prospectus and stator in mind and analy~ced, so I would hope it Mould be a lot easier for you. Mr. Gary: If I might... Mr. Dawkins: Let me say something, wait a minute, Mr. Gary. You know, it unfair to Mr. Gary. all right? Mr. Bailey says that it takes $50,000 to do this Job. J.L. Plummer Just said that this is an extension on Mr. Gary's present contract. So now, if it takes $50,000 to do the Job, why should Mr. ... I don't care whether the other person gets it, or Mr. Gary gets it. It is unfair to ask him to do it for less than we were going to pay the other guy. Mra. Kennedy: I agree, Commissioner Dawkins, but if that's what it takes... Mr. Plummer: Mr. Gary, would you agree to $149.95? Mr. Bailey: Is contract with Mr. Gary, as with Mr. Raymond James, which is not Mr. Gary. Who are we negotiating for? Are we negotiating for Mr. Gary or Raymond James is the financial advisor. Mr. Gary has been the minority sub.

On 75, I asked that there be a report done on some allegations. Now, here it is, the report - where is it, I got it here some place. OK? Now, I'd like to see the rough draft that this was taken from. I need a copy of ail of the information. This is not... this is a complex... a compiled edition. I want everything. Now, it :aqs in the paper this morning that you are desirous of another investigation. We don't need any more. It's time for you to bite the bullet and make a decision. Mr. Odio: I didn't •ay an investigation, I don't know if they... I have three people on my staff reviewing every single allegation because if I'm to make... Mr. Dawkins: All right, now, well what's the seed of having Dr. Hattie Daniels with a department that's supposed to be investigating these kind of allegations, and then have them bring us a report and then tell me that you need three more people to look at it again. Whq, sir? Mr. Odio: Because there's always two sides to a story, Commissioner. Mr. Dawkinss Well, no, let's wait a minute... Mr. Odio: I had an exit conference the day before yesterday. An exit conference with the people that are being alleged against. Mr. Dawkins: You know, all right, I'll tell you what, sir... Mr. Odio: And they have... Mr. Dawkins: ... wait a minute, let me say something, let me say something.... Mr. Odio: ... we haven't had the time to review.... Mr. Dawkins: ... if you feel that you need another investigation.- ~.. Mr. Odio: No, sir. Mr. Dawkins:. Then I move that this be turned over to Janet Reno and let her. investigate it and we be through with it because, see, I don't intend to keep" going through investigation after investigation and investigation. Mr. Odio: I said I don't need another investigation. _ Mr. Dawkins: All right, then... Mr. Plummer: Well, let me - may I speak? Mayor Suarez: Commissioner Plummer. Hr. Plummer: Mayor, I think, I guess maybe it's because I've: bees here.::ao long... Mr. Dawkins: And that's the gospel. ,: Mr. Plummer: Yes. Well, they always get the shot at me. They don't take it ~; but they always get it. We're bordering very thin on the delegation of duty. and authority of the Manager. I would much prefer to wait until the Manager; has concluded all of what he wants to do in this area. At such time as' he <, ~.t` does, then I think this Commission should properly look at the result and what '~4}~g. ' action he has taken and we can agree or disagree, but I would say that for , .~~ this Commissi on to t i l d _. ge nvo ve at this particular point as long as the. Manager-.has indicated that it is an ongoiag cursory look '.from .his ~~= A administrative authority, I personally, unless this Commission wants to invoke `~"A ` section 14, which it has the right to do if we feel that. a matter. is serious , ~~ ;' r . enough,.and. I think this Commission' is verythialy on"ias;that borders 4n the . ~'. r~ interference of the Manager. We have the full right, once he-has aoa:pleted ~ ~ ' ~; .~ ,~,> ~,~ r.~~ b4 February 9, 1989 . "~~~:- . ,. .- - ,.. - {' his look see and his final decision, but this Commission doesn't have that final decision except on the Manager himself. So I caution my colleagues that t don't feel comfortable et this point until the Manager has c~-.~!ud-' ~°'~"'_ he's doing, made his recommendations, and then this Commission can either agree or disagree that he made a good decision. Mr. Dawkins: The only problem I have with that, Commission... Mr. Plummer: gxcuae me, let me conclude by saying, at no time do i ever have a problem with anything in this City going to Janet Reno's office before simultaneously or after. That is another investigative body which has the full right to do so with or without our permission or the Manager. Mayor Suarez: Mr. Manager. Mr. Dawkins: Wait a minute, let me say something.... Mayor Suarez: Conroissioner Dawkins. Mr. Dawkins: J.L., the only thing is, we've spent over $20,000 for this investigation and now you're getting ready to spend more money on an investigation. Mr. Plummer: Why did we spend $20,000? Mr. Dawkins: I have demanded that the Fire Department be investigated and that has dragged on investigation after investigation. I don't care what comes up, you've got to investigate it and investigate it and investigate it. Now, you're right, the Manager has the sole responsibility to make a decision. But some decisions, the Manager has to bite the bullet and do. You just can't - I mean, you just can't sit up and just keep going and going and going and waiting until appropriate time to bite the bullet, you got to bite .the bullet sometime when you don't want to. - Mr. Plummer: Well, but I think that's it our fault for not setting the deadline for that Amen day. Mayor Suarez: Commissioner, let me, I think, clarify. Mr. Manager, you have before. you an investigative report pursuant to our ordinance for. affirmative action, the City of Miami, from one of your departments. It is-now up to you to take corrective action. You have indicated, unfortunately, in a news report, that there would be some other investigation by some other staff _ people. I presume that is incorrect and you an.... Mr. Odio: No, I didn't mean investigation, and I'm sorry about that, but I received this report two days ago. It has 39 allegations and that's what they , are, allegations at this point. I have to make sure that when I take corrective action, I'm being just. Mayor Suarez: Not exactly allegations, because there has been an investigation which substantiated some of the allegations. ~' Mr. Odfo: The ones that are substantiated are the easy ones. It's the one's that are left... ~. Ma or Suarez: Ri ht. So we ex ect corrective a Y 6 p ction by yourself and I would - ~;' expect that it would be ready to be announced to the Commission or to be taken prior to the next Commission meeting for sure. Mr. Plummer: I think that's fair. . ~ Mayor Suarez: Yes. - Reversed Alonso Anderson: Mr. Mayor... Mayor Suarez: Yes. Rev. Anderson: My Hama is Reverend Alonso Anderson.

Mayor Suarez: Before we start hearing from interested parties, we've got attorneys for one of the people that the allegations are made against and substantiated in some cases. i think this Commission has to decide exactly what our procedures going to be and we're not going to have a whole hearing on this issue. We've instructed the Manager to take corrective action unless some Commissioner wants to - that's going to be a... Mr. De Yurre: Mr. Mayor... Rev. Anderson: Well, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor.... Mayor Suarez: That's going to be the motion, I think, Reverend. Mr. De Yurres Reverend... Mayor Suarez: You have many forums that... Rev. Anderson: Mr. Mayor, as meeting with the Manager, as meeting with Commissioner De Yurre, as meeting with Miller Dawkins, and being assured that this is going to be taken care of and coming here again today and hearing some report for more delay. Now, bretherem and sisters, let me tell you something... Mayor Suarez: I think we've clarified that there's not going to be any delay. Rev. Anderson: Well, I think some action should be taken and not oaly - that.... Mayor Suarez: That's what we're about to do right now. . Rev. Anderson: ... all of this information and this report is nat adequate.' We know that. Because I was in the meetings and I heard what went on. Now, _ understand what I'm saying... Mayor Suarez: Well, the Manager has to decide whether its adequate or not. Hopefully, hopefully, we will not have done all of this in vain, and he will decide that it's adequate and will take corrective... Rev. Anderson: If the Manager hasn't decided and I don't mean to be argumentative with you, but if the Manager hasn't decided at this time with the information that he have, I think it's time for the Commissioners to take action against this situation. `rte ~ , Mayor Suarez: Sometimes when the Manager doesn't decide the right thing, the Commission can decide not to have the same Manager, but we're not necessarily at that juncture right now. ~~ ® ~ Rev.

I have met with him, his name is Harold Long of the firm of Knox and Long and we have reached an agreement as to his fees, same fees that we pay all special counsels that work with the City and he's proceeding to meet with them and begin to do his job. Mayor Suarez: Doctor, the 1984 action plan is being referred to by many people in these proceedings, the one that, I guess, was pursuant to a blue ribbon committee. Ms. Daniels: Yes.

DISCUSSION: RSSCHEDULING OF FIRST RSGULAR CITY COMMISSION MSSTING OF MARCH, 1984. (See label 27) Mr. De Yurre: Mr. Mayor, if I may, before, from the 26th to the 2nd of March and the 7th to the 18th of March I'm going to be out of town and we have a meeting on the 9th. So I'd like to see if we can move it about a little bit. Mr. Plummer: We'll miss you. Mayor Suarez: How about the 16th? Mr. De Yurre: I won't be back yet. I get back the 18th. Mayor Suarez: J.L., any day -what is your departure on the week of the 9th? Mr. De Yurre: I'm OK the 3rd, the 6th... ;~ ~_ ,, x ;i x 1 'a ';" Mr. Plummer: No, don't, Mr. Mayor, I'm not going out on the 9th. Mayor Suarez: No, no, I was asking Victor because I know qou have proble:6s " with any Wednesday, right? Mr: Plummer: Wednesday's my brother's day off and Monday mornings are my bad mornings. Mayor Suarez: How about the 7thT Mr. De Yurre: The 7th_ I'm out. It's either the 3rd, the 6th or then you. get - into the week of the 20th. Mayor Suarez: I have no problem doing it the 3rd. Mrs. Kennedy: I have no problem. Mr. Plummer: Victor, you will not be here on the 3rd.' Mr. De Yurre: I think we get back the 2nd. - Mr. Plummer: I don't think so. , Mayor Suarez: I think he intends to leave you behind, whatever it 'is : you:'guys _~ are going. You want to check that out and get back? ~`'~~ _ Mr. De Yurre• OK. N, Mayor Suarezr The 3rd looks like, perhaps, the most enticing becau~o you... %.` ~. Mr. De Xurres Let me double check that one. { - , Mayor Suarez: ... most likely. ~ ~ ^- ~ ~°~"j ~~ ~ ~ ~', ,. AT THIS POINT, THIS ISSUE WAS TEMPORARILY DFFBRRED, ~"~`, `~ Mr. Plummer: OK. Then, let me ask this question, state statutes have a procedure in which they must follow and that is what they call friendly taking; two appraisals, get the mean and nn tnerp t.hA* 10 ^~rcent. above. Why would anybody be offering more than in this particular case, use the highest of appraisal because they're so close, of a million two? I mean, where is the ~tationale of giving away $800,000 of City money? No, it's... what do you mean, a million five? It's two million dollars. Is that not the agreement? Mr. De Yurre: It'a a million five for the land, for the purchase. Mr. Plummer: Well, it's one million five and then there's so many payments after which bring it to a total of $2 million dollars, is that correct? Mr. De Yurre: But it's not related to the purchase of this land. Mr. Plumper: Victor, it's still a $2 million dollar deal. That's what I'm saying. Mr. De Yurre: Still, we are going to commit $2 million dollars to Camillus. Mr. Plummer: The question I'm still asking is, you know, I have my problems with it. And my problem is not buying it. My problem is, is trying to move it from a block and a half to the east to a block and a half to the west has accomplished nothing. But, besides that, why would we be entering into any kind of negotiation that is above the million two? I don't understand. Mr. Schwartz: Commissioner Plummer, the - I'm sorry I don't have the figures in front of me, but it was a million two and then the City, as far as Overtown Park West, had established policies of paying the higher of two appraisals. That's how we were able to purchase 95 per.... Mr. Plumper: OK, even if that's the case, that's a million two. Mr. Schwartz: OK, we also pay a bonus of, as far as for settlement, rather than go into litigation. Also there was about $110,000 as a fixture appraisal done by S.M. Dix. You were required to also buy the moveable fixtures. All those things came up to... Mr. Plummer: How much did we pay for the rescue mission? Mr. Schwartz: We paid $270,000 to the rescue mission, plus we also provided `' them with a second mortgage which is a loan.... - `'F Mr. Plummer: OK. Mr. Schwartz: ... that you had suggested that was... Mr. Plummer: Was not the rescue mission a bigger parcel and a bigger building than what we're talking about now? Mr. Schwartz: No, the rescue mission was on a parcel that was 7,500 square feet. Mr. Plummer: But theq had the lot next door. Mr. Schwartz: No, just one lot and it was a building that was 60 or 70 years old. Mr. Plummer: But we acquired that property? That became City property. Mr. Schwartz: Correct. Mr. Plummer: And they housed more people there than they- do at the Camillus ;- - House and we paid them $270,000. Mr. Schwartz: Plus we loaned them about three hundred and forty... 1 Mr. Plummer: OK, forget about the loan. A loan, hopefully, will get paid back. - _ ~~f Mr. Schwartz: Well, the stipulations on that loan is that the loan until - as long as they operate... ;;r ~::~ - ~r?` 81 February 9, ~9~89 ~ ~? ,:~„ .;, i F '°i'', --- -- -- - ~.~ s.«w+. .. ...._ a 1, inst. ~lusomsr: Now much was the loan ~or7 Mt. Schwartz: It's about $340,000. Mt. Plummer: OK, we don't get a d une of that book. Mr. Schwartz: Most likely not. _ Mr. Plummer: That's $500,000. Where in the hell is the rationale that says = that we're going to negotiate another parcel of property for two million dollars when we're not owning the property and we got this one for $270,000. There is a big gap lost in my estimation somewhere. It's surely not to accommodate the Arena because anybody that tells me that, they are a damn fool. Now, where, who, why are we giving away a million dollars of City money? I'm still waiting for somebody to tell me. Mr. Schwartz: Commissioner Plummer, the difference is the rescue mission was 7,500 square feet. This property ie more valuable, had a higher value basted... Mr. Plummer: Why? Mr. Schwartz: ... on the appraisal. Because it's located closer to Biscayne Boulevard. ~ Mr. Plummer: Why? Mr. Schwartz: The existing building that the rescue mission occupies... Mr. Plummer: Matthew, I'll give you double the amount. Mayor Suarez: There are two other reasons. Mr. Schwartz: It's five times the size, the parcel... Mayor Suarez: There are two... f i Mr. Plummer: I'll give you the five hundred thousand. Mayor Suarez: There are two other reasons. Mr. Plummer: Where is the difference of the million five? OK? Mayor Suarez: There are two other reasons, one appraised, I don't know how many months ago... Mr. Schwartz: About a year ago. Mayor Suarez: ... and it is daily gaining in value, the property. The other =_ reason is that... ^ - Mr. Plummer: But still, excuse me, I don't questioa that aay property in that ~ area is gaining; gaining to what at the last appraisal? A million two. ^ Mayor Suarez: There's another reason. Mr. Plummer: OK. - Mayor Suarez: The second reason was one that we did take into account,.maybe ~ `A~,'a not sufficiently when dealing with the Miami Rescue. Mission, maybe we dust ~y made a better deal, although it's required an incredible effort to get them. set up ;with the new facility and private funds but the other .reason .ia ~l~at ~~~ 7 the. law allows us to tAke into account and logic even mandates :it reallq, the F difficultq that they have in finding a replacement location aad these people ~` are very..difficult. to locate and that adds to the value of the present ".

I just - here we are, you know, I got to put on the record, Mr. Mayor, and I'm going to take one minute of this Commission's time, this Cotmcission is faced, this year, in my estimation, in some tremendous financial areas. We are going to experience in the three daq disturbance, a tremendous setback of two million dollars - three million dollars - I was being conservative. We are looking at other areas, the Gates lawsuit, if we continue this trend, I want to tell you there is no way that the Manager can be held to his promise of last year of no new taxes. Just can't do it. Now, I'm saying that, you know, somewhere along the line as tough as it's going to be, there's going to have to be some people that aze going to have to hear what they don't want to hear and that's, "we're sorry." Mayor Suarez: Matthew, let me ask you another question. If you did an economic analysis of property in that area that we are presuming or considering acquiring, what would be a discount rate that would be applicable about this time in 19891 9 S i i :; } Mr. Schwartz: For the property? It's been increasing about 5 to 10 percent. There's been a much lower increase in values in this area as a result of Camillus House. Mayor Suarez: That's the property evaluation rates. - Mr. Schwartz: Being located by a rescue mission. _ Mayor. Suarez: Discount rate would include inflation. In any .event, what I'm saying is in addition to everything else, the fact that this deal _is by _ payments, not all in a lump sum, reduces the amount that we're ,actually payiag as of now. So that if we took now one point three million and invested,it,_by - the time we had to make these payments we'd be awfully close to the one .five. That was another third answer to your prior question of why we're paying more than one point two. _ Mr. Plummer: Yes, Mr. Mayor, here again... Mayor Suarez: With a 10 percent discount rate, it would work out, 8 percent ,; discount rate. Mr. Plummer: I just, for the life of me, I would do everything humanly ~_ possible if they did like the rescue mission, moved out of an area that we're trying to upgrade.

Mr. Plummer: OK, the Salvation Army is also right there in the same area. Mr. Schwartz: That's right, it's right across the street. Mr. Plummer: You know... -,~- Mr. Dawkins: Mr. Manager, why is it that the City is not looked `at equally when it comes to looking out for the' citizens interest? Now, ate- had a case = here. this moraing where a developer - no, that's not -it's the wrong vrord: A speculator had purchased property and he's desirous of doing something: °~•- different in this area. Nobody was concerned about the blighted area. No one - was concerned that the neighbors may not want it. No one was concerned that - it may not be compatible with what quote, unquote, the residents in the area..' want. Just do it. Now you come and you tell me that - see, and those who gat _ here since me don't know, but I'm going to help them know. The reason you got the Hyatt Hotel and the Knight Center is this City Commission declared the Dupont Plaza area a blighted area and got federal funds for a blighted area is - which to build the Hyatt Hotel and the convention center. See, you can cohveniently declare blighted areas when it's to your advantage. But qou do - sot declare blighted areas when it's to the other individual's advantage. And that irritates me. 0 Mr. Plummer: May I inquire? .';~: ~ -.ti;i Mr. Dawkins: Yes, J.L. ~_a_ a - , .

Camillus House ie not building.a rescue mission, they're building what is called an SRO, they're building under the zoning which allows fora hotel at single room occupancy.

That is what the proposal is. . ; - - _ Mr. Plummer: I'd like to believe that. ; Mr. Dawkins: Ah, now. If they do not live up to the proposal, how do you - shut them down and make them move?

Mr. Plunomer: Mr. Mayor, there's manq of the people there today whb are not being fed because that' don't have adequate food but you still have 80 to 100 people Mho are sleeping there in the general vicinity of that facility and there's nothing under our laws you can do today to move them. Mayor Suarez: That is correct, but they won't be, presumably attracted to ail to the same location. Mt. Plummer: Where are they going to go? Where •re they going to go? Mayor Suarez: The coalition for the homeless, to help the homeless locally sad aationally has indicated that the best way to handle feeding of people who are homeless is in a decentralized location. That's the way everybodys moving throughout the country. We're building and we have an emergency family shelter that we're finally helping to contribute to complete and which had a dedication ye:terday that I didn't get to attend. The City and the County are finally, f ointly sponsoring a shelter, the first time that the two municipalities did that, the Miami Rescue Mission finally completed their fund raising drive, which I had the honor of participating in and chairing. They're going to open on Februarq 26th of this year with a beautiful facility, also in a neighborhood in the City of Miami, whether zoning is proper for it, with 250 beds. We're doing something about the homeless, but this particular facility - and the way this particular facility is functioning is not the way to do it because it affects the neighborhood a great deal. That's what we're trying to change. Anyhow, any further questions from the Commission? Mr. Plummer: Motion on the floor is to defer the item, is that... Mayor Suarez: Do we have a second on the motioa? Hr. Plummer: I'll second the motion. Mayor Suarez: Moved and seconded to defer. Any motion? Ms. Margaret Miller: May I say something, please? Mayor Suarez: Yes, ma'am. Ms. Mfller: Some of my concerns - oh, my name is Margaret Miller, Lummus `! `' Park, 328 N.W. 4th Avenue. Some of my concerns have been expressed here today ,>j by both Miller Dawkins, Commissioner Dawkins and Commissioner Plummer. A `'' large concern is that what about the people on the streets? Some talk has "' been today about the facility itself, and my concern is not that f acilitq. It's going to probably be the most expensive, most secure facility in the community. But this is my concern. In visiting Connecticut this summer, I ~ visited a place comparable to the Camillus House. It's up in the Hills _ Section, outside the citq. You look across wide fields across the New Haven `" greea, the college is down there. It is not anywhere near the core of the `F- city. I talked with a man at the rear of the building who happeaed to be doing some yard cork. I asked, how is it that you don't have men lying on the ~~ sidewalks in front of this facility? He said, because it's not allowed. So ` ~ {' , it must be the facility itself that controls it. That facility. is not relying ~ `~~~ upon the city of New Haven police. That facility itself has said. Fr .. ,_r Mayor Suarezr What city, what city, Margaret? +cs ,~ x .,.~~. Ms. Miller: New Haven, Connecticut. `~'~ ' ~ ~ S' !layor Suarezr They may have different statutes on that, ae've bsea n-restltig S _ ~~-~ rith ordinances that would prohibit people sleeping on the sidewalks>i-nd aoM ~~ „ , passed it as Commission policy. ,, { ~,;;, ~ ~~ ~ !!s. Millers There rss another thing I observed'and that ie, thpt it Maps not a ~ ~. 7^` , _ ~~ shut out facility ouch as Brother .Paul operates, if you're uat there at • , ~ ~; ~>~ ~ __ ~ ` A V - -..~ 14~ {_ ~ 4 s~..=~ 'dlf'~$dY~~ r 1E.~ tArtain time, you are out. There Mss a piece for them on the grounds. Thera Mere picnic tables so that it Mssn't necessary for them to be out on the t~treet '.:d I noticed the traffic coming and going. T:~a people coming out, the people going in. But Brother Paul runs a very tight facility. I'm sure it Mill be tun properly, but Mhat are the old Momen in that area to do? We knoll we're going to be sharing the sidepalks Mith them, that's a given as they coma and go. Brother Paui Mont share the sideMalks, he'll drive there and drive out again as Mill others. But Me Mill be sharing the sideMalks, that's OK. But ghat happens if the people come after say, 8:00 o'clock at night? Is that truly a hotel Mhere they can check in at any hour, 24 hours a day? I think not. And so, if they're not able to get into the facility, Mere going to have to cope pith them in the community. Nop can we do that? I ask you, have you made plans for that? Do you have people on the payroll Mho can come and help protect us, to gat us in and out of there safely and so on? As far as property goes.... Mayor Suarez: Well, that's the same problem Me have for any other survival room occupancy or single room occupancy facility throughout the City, including the one on Sth Street if they choose to begin operating that as soon as they can build there. You know, that's not dependent on what Me do today. That might depend on our changing our minds on our zoning code or finding other procedures. We're not admittedly very good at assuring the people abide by our zoning codes, so I think the Commissioner is going to bring that topic up at some point in the day to add enforcement officials. Ms. Millers Just one more point and that is that Matthew Schwartz was talking about impact on adjacent properties. I was told today that the coming of the Camillus House to the area where I live rendered my property worthless. Now Mhether that was true or not, I don't know, but that is what I was told by someone who does pretty much know property values in the city. And that's all that I have to say. Mayor Suarez: OK, thank you for your statement. We have a motion and a ,' second. Any further discussion? To defer. Vice Mayor De Yurre. Mr. De Yurre: Nell, why don't we just put it through then? Mayor Suarez: He says he now withdraws the motion to defer but I... Mr. De Yurre: Is it denied, is he removing it? Mayor Suarez: Are you going to speak to the motion to defer? Mr. De Yurre: Is he pulling it out? Mayor Suarez: I think he's going to withdraw his motion. i Mr. De Yurres Well, if he's pulling it, then I got nothing to say on that - issue. Mayor Suarez: OK, if we've withdrawn the motion to defer, you going to move it yourself? • j Mr. Plummer: Am I going to move what?

Mr. Odio: Yes, air. is Mr. De Yurre: is that memo have any bearing on this at all? Mr. Odio: Well, the memo - no, because the memo was prepared for my •ake '' because we were discussing as instructed by the Commission, sources of financing and how we're going to pay for this if the deal ever goes through. And I don't know why he sent copies, he should have sent copies to the whole Commission. ~` Mr. De Yurre: Or not sent them at all. - Mr. Obio: Or not sent them, well, but I didn't - no, no, because I asked him to send in writing to me the different alternatives on financing. Mr. De Yurre: I'm going to have to oppose that, that deferral motion because if there are questions that need to be answered, let's answer them now. They may not be answerable at all and we just got to go ahead and vote on this, because we've been on this for months and I think we have to - it's either, you know, fish or cut bait and move on to something else, and I'm pretty much _ - ready to vote on that. Mr. Dawkins: I have no problems with that. I'm going to vote no anyway, but I still feel that if information was given, irregardless of whether it was read, to three members of this - of the Mayor and Commissioner De Yurre and "~: the Manager, about an item to be discussed today, I should have been given that information so that I could intelligently discuss the issue today. But, if everybody up here feels that I should not have gotten this information, and.- _ that I do not deserve the time to discuss - I mean, digest it, and be able to vote on it at the next meeting intelligently, I have no problems with that. That's why we have five members on this Commission so that when there's a. `~ difference of opinion, the majority will rule. Mayor Suarez:. Well, wait a minute now. Before you said that you :were -",i withdrawing your motion to defer because you were going to vote against it ''t' anyhow... If you really do need the time because of that memo, that I'm not sure what it contained and I'm sot sure it was relevant, I spoke to .Matthew.: _- myself whenever I wanted to on this issue or the Manager or anybody, so I didn't rely on that memo, but if you're going to vote against this ao matter' y what, then I'm not - if you have a procedural reason, if you really would like __ more time, I'm going to vote with the motion. tai Mr. Dawkins: OK, let me tell you, all right, you want the procedural reason?

Mr. Plummers I think that is very important that that $2 million dollars - doesn't skip town and go out of town or be used by a home in the Roads Section . for $300,000 with a swimming pool and all the rest that goes with it. I think that there needs to be a stipulation that that money is going to stay in this community and be used for the homeless. Mr. De Yurre: I don't think that's going to be any problem. Mr. Plummer: Well... Mr. De Yurre: We can put that in. !!r. Plummers It's not in there, so I beg of you that eves though. I'm negative ~=- on the issue that that be placed in there, please. llr.

Mr. Plummer: I Mould like to know what the Manager is asking us to be fullq aware of knowing Mhat's in. Mr. Fernandez: All right, certainly. Mr. Plummer: Would you please outline those in this document? Mr. Fernandez: Yes, first of all, is the schedule of payments. Mr. Plummer: Which is shat? Mr. Fernandez: Which is $500,000 at time of closing. Mr. Plummer: Give me the number. Mr. Fernandez: On the contract where you can find these? Mr. Plummer: Yes, sir. Mr. Fernandez: Hold on a second. I'll call your attention to the contract, r page and section number in a second, but briefly, to give you an idea of the issues that are significant, is, of course, a schedule of payment, then you have the issue of asbestos and hazardous materials that may be found on the property. That is paragraph 21. Mr. Plummer: Twenty-one. Is that paragraph 21? Mr. Fernandez: Yes, paragraph 21 of the contract. Mr. Plummer: Entirety agreement. I'm sorry, conditions precedent, yes, OK. Mr. Fernandez: All right. It's important that you really take a look at that because we are - what we're doing is that we're assuming the responsibilitq to pay for studies to make sure that there are no contaminants and there is no asbestos in the removal of these properties that would make it prohibitive the - removal of the buildings. It gives us an out clause. In other words... - Mr. Plummer: You can't remove the one building because you won't owe it. Mr. Fernandez: Yes, we can. Under the lease that we are taking over, we have the absolute right to do away with that building. Mr. Plummer: Remove the building? ~ Mr. Fernandez: Yes, we do. Mr. Plummer: OK. - Mr. Fernandez: And so what we're doing here is that we're agreeiag to.condu~t - a study, and if the study reveals that we would need to spend an amoumt>of money is exceae of some that the administration would fiad reasonable, this - Mould give us an out of the contract. You need to understand that. Also, { time to move .out. We have negotiated with Camillus. House a period of time of - 12 months from date of closing for ..them to close down, shut dowo,.,thel.x ~`' operation, their kitchen. They cannot feed anyone at their site for 12 months after closing. xn other words, during the first 12 months after closing, they will be allowed to maintain their kitchen .operation there. On the,l2th,mon~ii, they ,have to cease. Mr. Plummer: Sven after we pay them.? }$ Mc. .Fernandes: Yes. .And .then, they have 24 months. after dater of F}~aiA¢ fpr ~ ~ i • them to vacate the premises, leave altoggther. '~ ~ F.~ . .. ~ - Y ;~y r . . 'Y~" 4 a.~=_ Iun:W.~ - - ~ ~~k. ,:.: ~: Mr ~+~.um~r: fihat's 36 mon~ha total. t~lr. ~'brt-ande~ts No, no, altogether 24 months. l~r. Piutomer: Twenty-four months. hr. Fernandes: Yes, exactly. Now if, at the end of 26 months, they dofnit hav! a CO in their new building, in their hotel that they're building, thaa they must come back to the City Commission with a specific request for a limited period of time to be able to get an extension. Mr. Plummer: There is nothing in this document, is there, in relation to the neK hotel? Mr. Fernandez: No, no there is not. !!r. Plummer: Nothing in reference to the CO or anything relating to the Sth street property.. - Mr. Fernandez: No. hlr. Plummer: Because even if they go for a variance on that which they need for parking, that, under normal circumstances, would take three to six months. Mr. Fernandez: I understand. Mr. Plu:mner: So there's no referral in this document to that property? = Mr. Fernandez: No, because we cannot contract zone. We cannot - another issue for you to understand is the issue of attorneys' fees. They have requested that the City pays their attorneys' fees and all closing costs, and we have negotiated the issue of attorneys' fees to a sum certain of $15,000 and the City has agreed to pay all closing costs on this transaction. These are the issues which have been subject of - yes, closing costs would be just the recording of the instruments necessary for the transaction. Mr. Dawkins: Which is a minor cost? ,~ Mr. Fernandez: Minor, very minor cost a Mr. Plummer: Fifteen thousand is nothing. 3 Mr. Fernandez: All right. These are issues that have been negotiated and j _ that they are now in the contract that you have in front of you in the legal, - proper fashion. - _ Mr. Plummer: Is there anything else in this contract, Mr. Citp Attorney, that you feel that this Commission should be made fully aware of? Mr. Fernandez: Yes, there is also another provision. Mr. Plummer: Thank God. Mr. Fernandez: No, as part of this contract, there is nothing else really of ~ significance that you should be aware of. si Mr. Plummer: Is there nay other matters surrounding this negotiations, sala, _ or acquisition that you feel this Commission should be made aware of`~ `to all "x five members in public? . - ;; ,:,~,- Hr. Fernandez: Yes, the fact that the City is committing itself to through ~j`r community development greats or other sources of funding as are identified:, to give Camillus House for their operatiAn, a $100,000 a gear `for'a period of <`' five years, not to exceed the sum of $500,000 which is the other $500,000 that ' '` ~: you Nere adding after the purchase price' that you came up with. your two 1 million dollars. Tha conditions that the City is placing on those moalea are - - exactly the same conditions that we would place on' any community based ~ organization that has to be used for the right purpose and the right ~ashton. They 'have 'to submit a `work program that must 1~e approved by the City and this ~`~ a- ~ ~ ` is just a commitment to consider .them for this period of titae is -that amount , ~ ,, ~ `: ~` ~~` 'of money: , . ~~ .

Pludr: If this Commission were not to approve that program. !!r. !'ernande~c: What Mas that. nir? Mr. Plummer: If this Commission Mere not td approve that program, what Mould happea to thin contract? In the second year, they submitted a program for this Com~niasion's approval and some of the members of this Commission, after November, are not here and others think differently, what happens to this contract if it's not approved? Mr. Fernandez: This is, in fact, binfling the City of Miami for the next five gears or for 5500,000 whichever May the City deems beat of paying it. But this Mould be a commitment certain. And they understand that their program 'j have to qualify. If their Mork program does not qualify, then legally, they cannot expect to receive this money. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Castaneda, Frank. Mr. Castaneda: Yea, Commissioner. Mr. Plummer: We have "X" number of dollars set aside for social programs at this particular time. $ach year that amount has dwindled doMn. Am I to understand, as I recall last year it was nine hundred and some thousand dollars? Mr. Castaneda: It's higher than that, Commissioner. `; Mayor Suarez: A little bit over a million. Mr. Castaneda: But the point is that all our... ='j- .::i Mr. Plummer: The point is, are we going to have to take this hundred thousand- from that and take it from some other organization that is presently receiving? - Mr. Castaneda: That's correct unless we receive some McKinleq Act money again which is not being recommended by federal legislation at this time. Mr. Plummer: So, in other words, we should, with open eyes, knowingly that when we vote for this, that hundred thousand dollars a year is got to come out of some other program presently being funded. Mr. Castaneda: That's correct, Commissioner. Mayor Suarez: Well, unless there are McKinley Act fuads which are for the' homeless. Mr. Plummer: Well, but that you have absolutely no guarantee whatsoever. Mayor Suarez: Well, we've had two years in a row of similar amounts. Mr. Plummer: Yes, because we're locked in as I recall, to a maximum of i5`' percent of co:muunity development for social programs. Mr. Castaneda: That's correct. On the McKinleq Act, I believe that has not been rec d d f ommen a or any more funding at this time. Mr. Plummer: So, all right, is other words, are we putting, right now, on notice, all of the recipients of social money programs, right now, that there's going to have to be $100,000 taken away from present programs to put ~'~~ this deal together. -~r ;,,~; - ;~'j , i~,'~' Mr. Dawkins: No, because you didn't know you were going to take it... ~~, .

Mayor Suarer.: We should certainlq put them oa notice that... - Mr. Plummer: ... excuse me, on the record he has stated that that moaeq is _ intended to come from the social program monies and as such, you know, I can see all of these organizations down here because basically chat you're doing i• whatever else you•re giving each one of them an additional 10 percent cut. A hundred thousand dollars from a million dollars, each program to start is 10 percent lower than last year's number even though their cost and everything is ' going up. Nov, I don't want to sit here and take the heat then these people start coming dove here screaming and saying, we got to have 5 percent more moneq and we saq, heq, go talk to Brother Paul because he's takes 10 percent away from you. So I just, you know, we'd better make that clear right now. Let's get it on the record. Mr. Dawkins: Since my "Blue Brother" read the memo and has asked the questions of me and him both, I will not invoke the rule. = Mr. Plummer: No, 2 haven't finished asking questions. That's why I was just trging to get these things that they brought out. - Mayor Suarez: Well, it sounds like gou'd better ask whatever gou're going to do now because the rule hasn't been invoked. Mr. Plummer: I'll invoke the rule. Mayor. Suarez: OK. Now, in his case, I will now convene a special meeting .to -- - consider a matter of great public import. ~ ~ .;- Mr. Plummer: Where's my memo pads Mr. Dawkins: I asked for the memo long ago. $< -s Mayor Suarez: No, I really would like everybody to have, regardless of how they're going to vote on it, to have all of this information in front of them. That. makes sense and the Commissioner, either one that invokes the rule,.. sounds like a reasonable procedural requirement. I have no problem with that. _, -j Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, in all fairness, I think that we should be provided., _~ rith more than a contract.

Now, we can no longer tell them that we've got X number of policemen suspended, we can no longer tell them that X number of people are on vacation. tie can no longer tail them that X number of policemen called in rick, they don't want to hear that. The biggest complaint was a man's house was broken into and he came home at 11:00 o'clock and he did not get anybody out there to take finger prints or anything until 6:00 p.m. Mr. Plummer: Did you hear the hooker on TV last night? Mrs. Kennedy: No. Mr. Plumper: She was funny. Mr. Dawkins: All right? Noa, it doesn't take anything but a man does not speed to ba a sworn officer, in my opinion, to take fingerprints. See, but, and then, when we ask you - now, we told you to hire 250 PSAs and instead of hiring them, everytime you guys Come here... Mr. Plumper: No, no, no, no, excuse me, one hundred. Mr. Dawkins: One hundred. Mr. Plumper: One hundred. Seventy more than shat they had. Mr. Dawkins: 8verytime you guys come here, it's excuses. It's another excuse and another excuse. -Noa, with the shortage, see, of four - the million five, .for the overtime for the disturbance, and other shortages in the policemen, where are you going to get the money to pay these people? ' i Lt. Longueira: Their salaries are in the budget. ~;'~ Mr. Plummer: They're already allocated. `~- Lt. Longueira: That was assured in the budget. - - ,y Mr. Dawkins: Yes, but as long as you don't hire them, it will stay.in the budget. You sea, that's shat he keeps saying. I don`'t mind your havi>ag: _ contingencies in there to cover things like the disturbance that we had. But ` when you continue not to hire the hundred people budgeted, each month that you don't hire them, you save X number of dollars. - ~--= ~'~~~ _ Mr. Plumper: To spend somewhere else. - ~- Mr. Deakins: OK? To Juggle it and put it some place else. And, I hope I'm =_ wrong, but it appears to me and the public that you're dragging your feet -_ deliberately in order to have this money. Sometime perceptions are bad or .°a ^ worse than the facts, OK1 So now, Mr. Manager, at the next meeting, please , tell me wad the rest of these Commissioners who's going fa the next class for PSAs, who'a' going in for police and if you need me to ask Eduardo Padron for ^ some space at the New World Center and go down there.

It's unfortunate. Mr. Odio: And as long as there are customers... Mr. Plummer: Let me ask you another thing, we have a City Attorney? Nr. Odio: I think so. Mr. Plummer: Do we have a City Attorney? Mr. Jorge Fernandez: Yes. Mr. Plummer: Is it within the purview of this City Commission to establish a policy in the Police Department? Mr. Fernandez: So long as it doesn't relate to the actual police work... Mr. Plummer: OK. Mr. Fernandez: ... in terms of administrative policy, you can direct the City Manager. Mr. Plummer: All right, let me ask a few questions. Joe, the information I've been given is, we are experiencing roughly 360,000 calls a year for service. Am I in the ball park? Lt. Longueira: Yes, sir. Mr. Plummer: About a thousand a day. 1 Lt. Longueira: Yes, sir. i -~ Mr. Plummer: OK. Other information I've been given is that ae have :~ approximately in the City of Miami alone, 30 cars stolen a day. Is that in the ball park? - L Lt. Longueira: I'll have to check on that, Commissioner. It might be possible. Mr. Plumper: It's close. After we saw what happened in South Dade yesterday... Mr. Dawkins: In Dade County, not the City of Miami. Mr. Plummer: No, it's the City of Miami, OK? Mr. Dawkins: Thirty-thousand a day? Mr. Plumper: Thirty cars a day. Mr. Hawkins: Oh, thirty, I thought you said thirty thousand. Oh, OK, OK. All right, OK. Mr. Plumper: No, no, no. No, no God forbid. Is it possible that this Commission can establish a policy that says that we would not longer send a police unit to write a report on a stolen automobile? Measure what I'm trying to tell you. As I hear today on the police radio, we got four pages of calls waiting. If my numbers are correct or sear correct, over a third of the calla for service today are for stolen automobiles which is nothing accomplished by sanding a policeman out there.

Mr. Herb Bailey: In direct response to that observation, Mr. Mayor, we.... Mayor Suarez: CircaBarness right, Herb? Mr. Bailey: CircaBarness. We do have a developer that ie proposing a different method of financing, one for which requires a lot of analysis by us as to whether or not that we would be willing to come back to this Commission and make a recommendation on it. We have been in touch with the underwriters and with the co-insurer and they're to provide us with some additional information and numbers to see whether or not that it is something that we would be willing to recommend. The main points of contention is that they do public purpose bonds which, in turn, causes the ownership of the property to be to a non profit corporation. The problem with that is that non profit corporations don't pay taxes which is a direct in conflict with why the purpose we had the project in the first place. We have discussed with the underwriters and the co-insurers what would it be if we were at request payment in lieu of taxes to the same extents that if taxes were to be levied and we had been told at least by telephone, that that would put the project in jeopardy, so we're still exploring the possibility of financing CircaBarness Sawyer. We will be back before this Commission with the developers once we have gotten enough information to make a determination for a recommendation.

Mr. Odios No, we're not, we're not getting them. Mr. De Yurre: Do you want to evict him tool Mayor Suarez: How ae would move to evict someone that's been there far, I don't knoa how many years, sixty years, and claims to have adverse possession and certain legal claims and not do anything about someone that doesn't even give us the moat elementary reports is beyond me, but... Mr. De Yurre: Make the motion. Mayor Suarez: Well... Mr. De Yurre: Let's go. Mr. Odios Let me ask a question from the Commission, if you would. Mayor Suarez: I would move to evict both of them. Mr. De Yurre: Well, I'll second the motion. Mr. Odio: Before you do that, can I ask a... we now have a master. plan for Watson Island and if we can go ahead and proceed with an RFP for the heliport, it would cure that problem at one time without having to go through eviction proceedings, as far as the helicopters are concerned. In other words, we know that we can put a heliport there according to the master plan. Why don't we just instruct us to go out on an RFP for the creation of a municipal heliport and give access to that property to all helicopter companies that want to come in there for rent? Mr. De Yurres Yes, but how long - how many years are we talking about before that thing comes to fruition? Mr. Odio: If you give me orders now, I can have an RFP drawn and out by April and it takes 30 days of advertising and then we should be able.... I .,~ ;~ s Mr. Plummer: Let me ask a question. My area of concern in that, Mr. Manager, is, in fact, that heliports, of coL.rse, are controlled by the FAA. ;;, ~_ Mr. Odio: I believe - I'm not an expert on this - I believe that we have the right since it's our land to create a municipal heliport and... .z Mr. Plummer: OK, that's my area of concern. We are fully aware that they are. 1_ building a total heliport on Dodge Island. :f= Mr. Odio: Right, I talked to Mr. Judy about it. Mr. Plummer: OK, and I am questioning would the FA... what I'm saying is, I don't want to lose our right to have a heliport on City property. - If theq have one on the port, and we give up what we have, would we lose our right in !.<~ '~ ~ the future by the FAA saying, hey, you can't put one there because you already ^ have one on the port. Mr. Odio: Dick Judy indicated to me that he would be willing to .work with us in the creation of the heliport and not only that, he would put shuttle from ~~ the Dodge Island across to Watson Island for the use of the helicopters.. I ?~ think if you authorize it, we can proceed with it. The master plan will be ,.? - approved by .the way. ^~ -~- Mayor Suarez: .Well, the concern about making s , ure that we comply with anything having to do with the FAA applies even mote to Chalk'$, actually,. '~ because that's an .airline. - ~ ~` Mr. Plummers Yas, but you see, what I don't want to do is lose what tre haVO. "` g:-~ Msyor ~5uaruz: I think helicopters aFe regulated ~;~ a little. less.

Odic: You Mi11 approve the master plan, hopefully, on the 23rd but tight i,ow, if you want, t can proceed in the development of the RFP for the helicopter and then once the maat~r elan in AMprovp:t, we can proceed... Mayor Suarezs Well, as to the two existing uses, are you proposing that we hot notify them that they have to abandon their use of the premises? Mr. Odic: You have the right... we don't have to evict Mr. TerKeurst, I believe it's on a 30-day notice unless I'm corrected otherwise and when you just have to put him on notice. iiayor Suarez: You're recommending that we evict Chalk's but not Mt. TerKeurst? Mr. Odioa Mell, Chalk's is a different case altogether. Mr. Plummer: It's a legal problem. Mayor Suarezs That's right, he has claims. TerKeurst doesn't have any that I can think of. Mr. Odic: No, you have the right... Mayor Suarez: He's clearly on a month to month. Mr. Odic: ... as a Commission - you have the right to tell him to leave. Mayor Suarez: OK, well, I'll modify my motion in his case, to say that he has 30 days notice to abandon. And the case of Chalk's, initiate eviction proceedings. That's my motion. Mr. De Yurre: I'll second that. Mr. Plummer: Motion made and duly seconded that, in fact, 30 days notice will be given to Dade Helicopter and in reference to Chalk... Mr. De Yurre: Eviction proceedings started. Mr. Plummer: ... eviction proceedings. OK? Is there any discussion? Under. discussion I will take the opportunity in speaking to both issues. First, I think we ought to give them both 30 days fn which to comply. I think that we ought to tell Mr. TerKeurst that he's got 30 days either to file the reports that the Mayor has asked for or his termination is over. As far as Chalk - Airlines is concerned, my area there, I think that there's still room for discussion and rather than - is your intent to file a lawsuit immediately? Mr. De Yurre: That's right, that's right, tomorrow. Mr. Plummer: I would say that we give them 30 days either to nit down and negotiate and in lieu of that, then we will file a lawsuit within 30 days. - Mr. De Yurre: J. L., 60 days ago we made this same statement. Not just 30, - we give them 60 days and we're at the same point, thirty days from now we're _ going to be at the same point. There's... Mayor Suarez: You know, I would... _ Mr. Plummer: To evict? Mr. Fernandez: Yes, excuse me, ejectment... ?~~ , Mr. Plummer: To evict? - °'' ' F- ,;: - Mr. De Yurre: That's right. ~ ~ - Mr. Fernandez: ... is an action in ejectment, yes, to evict th4m, to get them '"{ out pt there. ~ ~'~_ ' ~ Mr. Plummer: I» other. words, you say they've had 60 .days notice that if they ~~~ .~ did not negotiate... ^ ~~~ _ __ __ --- -- dir. llvmmer: .~. they Meta going to be evicted? dlr. Fernandez: No, the notice we gave them was that the City Goromisaibn had iestructed us to meet with them and we tried to meet v-1th them for the lint mouth and a half and finally we were able to meet this week, Tuesday. tie have llbt given them notice in that sense. Mr. Plummer: That's the area of my concern. Mr. De Yurres Now, they know that they were going to be evicted, we're going to start proceedings. Mr. Fernandez: Oh, yes, the message was very clear that we expected to get instructions today from City Commission to file a lawsuit against them because we represented to them that you were very clear in your instructions to us that either by today we were able to represent to you that they were in a posture to negotiate and to reach an agreement with us or that we would ba f iling a lawsuit. That was made very clear to them. Mr. Plummets Any fur... INAUDIBLE COMMENTS NOT ENTERED INTO THB PUBLIC RECORD.

But I think with this action both are going to be on notice that we mean business. Mr. Plummer: Sxcuse me, that's not ghat I understood now. The point he's making, this action that we just took is, there is no negotiation, Mr. Dade Helicopter, in 30 days you are out, bye, gone. Mr. Fernandezs Exactly. That's why need clarification. Mr. Plummer: F1as that the intent of the maker of the motion or was there room for negotiation? Mr. De Yurre: Wall, with Chalk's... Mr. Plummer: Hey, I'm asking the maker of the motion, you know. That's up to him. Clarify it for the record. Mayor Suarez: if, certainly, if we're going to take it as to one we should take it as to both. I think they both been unreasonable and that's the only way to proceed. Mr. De Yurre: That's it. Mr. Plummer: So they both have 30 days to get out. Mr. De Yurre: No, Chalk's is already in court. Mr. Plummer: If it applies to one, it applies to both. Mayor Suarez: Yes, but Chalk's is already in court and the motion was to initiate eviction proceedings as to them in court. Mr. Fernandez: No, no. No, no. Mr. Plummer: ~ihat do you mean, they're in court? Mr. Fernandez: Chalk will be in court tomorrow morning. We instructions to file a lawsuit before we do.

Mr. Plummper: That's what it Bounds like to me. Mayor Suarez: They're having a tough time getting... Mrs. Kennedy: Where's Ira Katz? ~ - _ Mr. Jorge Fernandez: There is a change in what was in your original packet to what is being distributed to you right now. The only issue really in front of you is changing the voting of what constitutes quorum. Instead of one-half plus one, the Bayfront Park Trust is asking you, by their formal resolution, that their quorum be reduced to seven members present. Mrs. Kennedy: The board, Mr. Mayor, consists of very busy people, apparently who cannot make the meetings and they are asking if we can reduce the quorum, as the City Attorney said, to seven members. Mr. Plumper: Let me ask a question. Do they have a provision that says if they miss three meetings in a row, they're off? Mr. Fernandez: No, they do not. Mr. Plumper: If you couple it with three meetings in a row, missed, absence - three meetings absence in a year, they become off of the board, I'll go along with this reduction of the quorum. Mayor Suarez: Well, I like that modification. I think that it would help enormously since I know a lot of people that want to serve on the trust... Mr. Plummer: That's right. Mayor Suarez: .., but I'm still concerned about having a quorum of less than a majority, I've never seen that. Mrs. Kennedy: Let's see if Ira is here. Mr. Fernandez: it is permissible by law and it is - seven would be what I ~ would consider reasonably and legally the very, verq least. Mr. Dawkins: It's permissible by law, but there again, you having the f majority rule.,. the minority ruling the majority. Mr. Fernandez: Right, that's why it's your policy decision, sir. Mr. De Yurre: But what's the problemy You can't get enough people to the '' meetings, or what? t- - Mrs. Kennedy: The meetings are very early in the morning and apparently. ~~~ y r x',~.,~: enough people don't show up to have the quorum. =~~. Mr. De Yurre: " Well, either, you know, get people that can go to .the meetings or swat ch the hours of the meetings, you know. Mrs. Kennedys Wall, we've tried that but apparently there is a lot` q# w conflict . ;4 -. ' ter: Dawkins: Weil"', dissolve the board.

Mayor Suarez: Do you want to address this item, Lori? Ms. Lori Weldons Yss, in response to Commissioner Plummer, ae are in the - i th b 1 w satin and utting that bylaw on there. And process of hav ng ano er g a s m g p the response to the hour and the people not attending the mteting, ae've also had a few people to resign and those slots have not been filled. When those are filled, hopefully, the quorum sill exceed the number that is asked here. At this point in time, it's very difficult to conduct business under the resignations and the fact that people cannot make meetings. Some can't make them in the morning and some can't make them it in the afternoon. Mayor Suarez: I guess that most of the actions of the board are advisory so... Mrs. Kennedy: I move it. Mayor Suarez: All right, moved. And I hope we implement the other provision. Does that have to be made by an ordinance change? Mr. Fernandez: Yes, at the time, at the proper time, that would also be an ordinance change. Mayor Suarez: Would you prepare that for us, please? Mr. Fernandez: We will as long as the Bayfront Park Trust itself... Mayor Suarez: Recommends it. Mr. Fernandez: ... moves it and requests it, yes. Mayor Suarez: OK, read the ordinance.

First of all, we have several individuals to speak on this _ agenda. Historically, this City, Miami, the City of Miami, has had more civil disturbances than any other City in the country, it's a fact. So something is - wrong and we do know that. After the 1980 riots there were promisee, those promises were not kept. The 1982 riots, there were promises. The promises were not kept and so on and so forth. And what has happened historically is - that the City Commission has come up with an agenda for the black community, but the black community this time is .coming up with an agenda. for the City Commission. (APPLAUSE, CHEERS) Mayor Suarez: Please. I ~uat want to say, we can. get through. this quicker . . and more effectively if you don't interrupt the presentation. , _. Rev. Dunn: Mr. Mayor, .it's a. part of our culture sometimes, we... UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Just go ahead and tell him... Rev. Dunn: First of all, I want to say that that is what happened in the past, there's a book entitled "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" by Pau1,0.

We are the oppressed. black folk in Miami are oppressed. (APPLAUSE, CHEERS) i • Rev. Dunn: We have been discriminated against and we are now, I'm sorry. -And so we've come up with an agenda, I read in the paper and I appreciate your efforts with the 13 point Miami Comeback Plan.

Now, i would ask that first Reverend Wiliy Simms speak on police brutality against blacks. Reverend Hilly Simms. (APPLAUSfi, CHEERS) Reverend Hilly Simms: Mr. Mayor, Commissioners and City Manager, first of all, let me clear up the records. I am here as Reverend Hilly Simms, the pastor of the New Mt. Zion Free Hill Baptist Church of Liberty City, and as the vice president of the Miami Christian Improvement Association, which means that I sm officially off the clock of Metro-Dade County Community Relations Board and I'm speaking as a free black man. (APPLAUSE, CHEERS) Rev. Simms: So, for all of those who've called my office already to say'that Willy Simms should not speak, it did not work. I am not owned and operated by Metro-Dade County. When I woke up this morning, I was sleeping next to a black lady and there was a black baby in the next room and when I went 30 shave, i looked at a black face and I'm on that black time right now. - (APPLAUSE, CHEERS) - Rev. Simms: We're concerned as a group of people reference the.. police; brutality that exists in our community. It has passed the point of a, - perception, after eleven documented times. It is now a matter. of fact- that - there is police brutality that's directed toward black people in the City~of. ~ - Miami and Metropolitan Dade County. .. (APPLAUSE, CHEERS) Rev. Simms: We've gone over and over and over this again and we've .been given _ - crumbs from the table after every event like we can pay for one of ,our lives. and even now, in the loss of one of our lives, where even before there-can: be = a convening of a jury or a judge, the charges have been reduced to that;.of °_ manslaughter which is an indication that our lives are .considered. to be of a lesser degree of value than that of anybody else lives in Dade County. ;~ (APPLAUSE, CHEERS) Rev.

(APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev: Simmss We're dealing with a double standard and I set.. here in this Commission Chamber and I heard an order that was issued following the Alvarez trial when Officer Louis Alvarez went out and hired the attorney of .his choice, one of the moat expensive and successful attorneys in Dade Cout~tl-. And that he made that decision on his own without the help or without a vote from the citizen, the taxpayers of Dade County. Yet, whey it was all. over, vote came from the Commission that the citizens of Dade County would pay the total fee for attorney Roy Black who defended him and a lot of this community does not know it, that's under the cover politics. (SHOUTING) Rev. Simms: When we pay our hard earned money and I guarantee you if it ass left up to me, I wouldn't have selected Roy Black, I'd have selected a public defender lust like they do to the rest of us. (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev. Simms: Now here we are once again in 1989 and we're confronted with the 1 idi t 1 d r. ;_~ _ same thing. A young black boy who was shot down whi e r ag a mo orcyc a an his ...life taken and the life of the victim on the back of the motorcycle aasted. And I'm told that police are assigned to protect and .uphold. the law. How: can you protect the law when you've knocked the driver of a motorcycle off' _ and this victim sitting on the back of the motorcycle is helpless at that *~:- time. To me,. there is no sense of protection but there's a random and - } reckless abandonment of justification and holiness when. you come down to the - law, then. something is wrong there and I daresay that. I ride through Dade County .through every community and I see a different.institution of the iaw:'bq , the Police Department. I see officers that were stopped somebody is affluent white-community and say, "Excuse me, sir, will .,.you please step out of ;,the :~ vehicle?"

Simms: Also. they allowed me to go through soma of the things and the worst thing they can do is let somebody like me look at some things. I went out to Virginia Key, that used to be our beach, that they City of Miami took without the vote of the black community, the first beach we ever could go to when we couldn't go to Crandon Park or to Haulover and you took it and you made it a survival city for the City of Miami Police Department and you namtd all the streets after streets in Overtown on Virginia Key beach. In other words, you was planning an assault on Overtown all the time. But you let me see that and you can't deny it because I might not believe half of what I hear, but I got 20/20 vision and I believe everything that I see. (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev. Simms: Now, the only thing we're demanding is that - and we don't take nothing from attorneq Roy Black, we're not angry with Roy Black. He went to school and he's the best that he can be and we applaud him for that. The only thing we're saying is that we demand an equal opportunity for victory, we don't want the State Attorneys giving us a local State .Attorney that have no history of victory. I know that Hogan is the only one that have ever won a conviction but I'm saying that he's not the equal of a Roy Black. And that we're demanding, we are demanding that the State Attorney's office will bring is an outside prosecutor of equal standard, of equal qualification, one that can stand toe to toe and quote law just as well as Roy Black can. We're not satisfied when we don't know whether a police car is coming to help ua_or coming to destroy us. When you hear it from the community that black mothers.... UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Lord, have mercy. _ Rev. Simms: I'm not talking about the young guys that you all claim are. raising all the hell. I'm talking about black mothers are .saying to theix - _ - husbands, don't stop if a policeman stop you until you get to a crowd, make sure you're in a crowd before you stop because you don't. know what's going to - happen to you and all I'm saying to this City... - (APPLAUSE, CHEERS) - Rev. Simms: ... all I'm saying to this City is look at what we're doing in r the City of Miami Police Department and the total history, total, of the City of Miami Police Department we have never had but one, one black captain. In the total history and that's Capt. Homer Lanier. And we know that when the - Chief and the majors and all of those other high positions are going home. in o the middle of the night the captain call the shots in the Police Department. - We need some black captains, we need some blacks in administrative policy ' making positions in the Police Department. Somebody who will look out after ~ our interests. We need the City of Miami Police Department to stop the discrimination, to atop the fist fights that's going on in the Police =_ Department between Latin officers and black officers. And to say to them, in - a City of this magnitude, a multi ethnic community that we're above that"and. - in 1969 that we have some administrators that can say to black officers, Lo_ ~_ white officers to Anglo officers that you're going to ride together. It won't - be no all white officers, it won't be no all black officers and it won't be no. s. all Latin officers and if you can't work like that, then you won't polies in y~` the City of Miami.

A couple of 1-leifb back when Mayor Suarez Mss running for reelection one of the hottest issues of the reelection was that of the single member district elections, so that the residents of the City of Miami would have equal representation in our government. Now there are some things that you've heArd, that Reverend Simms went aver and nobody can really follow Reverend Simms. But I want to let you know that as you can tell, we're doing something today that a whole of people say we wouldn't be able to do. (APPLAUS$ AND SHOUTING) Rev. Curry: Many of you and I should call some names... (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev. Currys ... when the incident broke out, instead of having a sensitive spirit and heart, one of our Commissioners who's supposed to be representing all of Miami said that the only problem was some of you all got drunk and started rioting. (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev. Curry: What we're trying to say is that no longer can we allow and permit that kind of attitude towards one segment of society. Now, we do not come up here or down here with a superiority complex but we certainly didn't come with an inferiority complex. (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev. Curry: We don't think that we're better than anyone but at the .same time, we sill not settle for being less than anyone. There are some: problems even in the economir:a.l level. We want our fair share. A lot of people got all upset with a c~~mraent I made during the riots when I said to our Citq Manager and I said to our County Manager who sat together at the CRB called meeting and said to everyone, everything is all right. We're going to go ahead with status quo, everything is fine and we're going to play basketball tonight in the Miami Arena. Now, anybody know Victor Curry knows that I like basketball but I-knew that Tuesday night wasn't the time to play basketball. And I said, the heat was on and you saw that the heat was on and you all it still is on until we can get some viable answers to these problems! Now you say, why are they rioting and why are they here today? Well, you got to understand the psychology behind what's really- going on. You need to understand that here we have a multimillion dollar basketball arena - 30 million dollar arena a stone's throw from the Overtown area. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: It's in Overtown. Rev. Curry: Million dollars, millions and millions of the Arena. Millions of taxpayers dollars but as soon... ~: dollars pumped in to UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Come on Reverend! Rev.

But let me fill qou in on this. This has been going on fox two `_ _ months, if not longer.. The people in this .department are oppressed, they~rs `~= _ being: discriminated against and. these allegations have been substantiated. I . want you to know this Commission did not act on this. They said they need to further investigate. OK? I think we've investigated enough. When qou cam - see on the books that civil, state, federal civil right acts have been. , violated, you don't need any more time, you need action. Because the young, '~ ladies involved are black, they made the complaints, the reprisals theq wettt_ through:;were not important. OK, if it ware someone else of saother ~olot.o~ skin.

When it Came to Bobby Maduro Stadium there were cameras out there, there was City officials out there, there were people taking trips to Washington to get funding for Nave you been out to Krome lately? Have you sent any money out there? Have you sent any clothing out there? Have you tried to send people out there to recruit people for jobs? And, ae stated, on a news report January 16th, 1989, there was a statement made by a City official that said, "I have more jobs than I have people to work them because they don't have cork permits." How many of you in here need a work permit to work that is not working? OK, now I can't even believe the City official would make such a statement that they would isolate jobs for those who have come to this country, who have not grown up here, who have not been on the streets, waiting for employment and such. Commissioners, as the Reverend has said, we are tired, OK? Now, it's a shame that it takes an audience as you for me to get their attention. I'm going to tell you that. Don't come down here by yourself. they don't give you no respect. They don't give you no respect. (SHOUTING) Ma. Weldon: They will beat up on me when you leave because I'll be back here neat week. But that's OK, because they got to listen to me now. They got to listen to me now. OK? Let them know today we are tired and we're not going to take any more. We want black representation at all levels of the City. We want more blacks in the City departments, we want... UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: All of them. Ms. Weldon: ... our Commissioners to show that they support the black community by having black representation in their office and we want that housing issue resolved because it is a systematic approach from everq City off ice to discriminate and be biased against us.

Dunn: Last, we'ze going to call on the Reverend Arthur Jackson, pastor of the New Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church and the president of PULSE to speak on item number five which entails adopting the blue ribbon panel's recommendations of 1983 and '84 and act on them. Then I will come and issue a challenge to this Commission and we are going to go outside - there are many of us that are not in here because we can't get in. I would like fore this Commission, after we're finished, to just see who's out on the outside.

And in that report that Winston Rudolph headed a few years ago, we had the source there that cured the problem in Dade County. Oh, I admired you the other day, Mr. City Mayor there, for appointing that panel. We asked some time ago about appointing an independent review panel. You appointed a panel and you put five police officers on an independent panel. That's like policing the police. (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev. Jackson: What I said so many times, that's just like the fox watching the hen house. Now, you know who's going to win, the fox is going to win. If - it's going to be independent, then it must be a broad grass root over Dade:- County made up of citizens of Dade County to deal with the problems of Dade - County. And until we come to that realization, Mr. Mayor, and to this Co:mniasion, v:e going to be down here again and again and again. (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev.

Last week a terrible thing took place in Miami. A boatload of 149 Haitians, with America watching, they arrive here on the shores, the people wa interviewed told us that they could swim ashore. $ut one boat, two boats surrounded them pushed them further back to the seven miles limits. And after we heard that, they were not in U.S. territorial on the waters. We must take these black refugeea back to Haiti. And then, we have learned that some of the refugees were handcuffed, beat up and nobody got this information. Lies were told to the public. The Coast Guard don't know their own regulations. INS, the Immigration Naturalization Service, doesn't know it's own regulation. President Reagan, former President Reagan, last December extended the U.S. territorial waters from three miles to 12 miles. No officials knows that and now they took the Haitians, they told the Haitians, you are not in U.S. territorial waters, go back. We're white, we welcome= we brown, we can stick around but as far as we are black, we must get - back! (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev. Juste: It is about time that we could understand we should understand that we calling for equal treatment in Miami. We Haitians every step of justice we have received here, it was with long struggle, we have become more - militant than ever in this town. And then, when we see brothers killing brothers in Latin America and then some of them ware forced to leave their country, they arrive crossing the border from Mexico to Texas, they cross a river, they were welcome and we were that size of that City Hall. They are welcome, nobody catch them, the Haitian cross 600 miles, they catch them.. (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev. Juste: So, what we looking for is equal justice. One black is hurt, all are hurt. _ (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev. Juste: One black is hurt, all are hurt. I will go in further-now as long as the rights of the African American people is respected. we could say. One human being is hurt, all human beings are hurt. Brothers and. sisters,-the sun which is shining for everyone in Miami, this sun given by the creator has made South Florida beautiful on a natural level. But now, living here as human being, as brothers and sisters, we must understand, we cannot take all the opportunities given to one group and forget the other groups. That cannot take place. (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev. Juste: What we need, is equal sharing. Equal sharing in South Florida. You treat the Hispanic one way, treat the African American the same way, You treat the Hispanic refugeea one way, treat the Haitian, the black refugee,-the- s _ same ways, the same way. That way and only that say when we measure everything with the same yard stick, that way we could have harmony and peace. -~ in South Florida. And don't tall us - let me finish with this now. We appreciate very much that African brothers and sisters, African American brothers and sisters, black Americans, they're realizing that ae are ooe. We having our meeting on 54th street, they come down.. They having their meeting in Opa-Locke, in Liberty City, we go there also. This is a big sharing-.going- ~'' on.

You can pass a resolution today on single member district elections. Let the people of Miami decide. Pass it today and put it on the November ballot, it's just that simple. If you really want justice fn Miami, you can do it today and we're not going to leave until you do something. i want to acknowledge Chief Perry Anderson. Stand up, everybody ought to stand. (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Rev. Dunn: We're with you, Chief. And I ask that you let him be Chief.' Stop interfering with the Chief! Let him be the Chief) And I guarantee you, you'll have a better City. Pastor G. D. Horton, after that, Pastor 8.

Thank you. (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) Pastor G. David Horton: I'm G. David Horton, the Pastor of the Greater New Bethel Baptist Church, and also the president of the Baptist Council of Dade County. Someone asked me on the outside as we were coming in, who gave us permission to come down here? And I paused for a moment and said that we have come to a public gathering and really this is our place because those who are elected here were elected by the people and for the people. The reason we are here is that we are tired and there are so many things that we are tired of. We're tired of meeting with dull ears, nobody's listening. iie're tired of officials who come to us in the hour to campaign and for election. and when it's-time for the harvest we don't hear anything from them. When it's time for the reaping, we reap no benefits. We are tired of promises without substance. We are tired of injustice everywhere and because of this Ne have gathered ourselves together to make a statement not only to Miami but to all the world, for this is not a local problem alone though we are dealing with it on this level, it is something that's being accepted across this nation.. It is something that Reagan brought back into existence. We have lost some grounds but we're not going to give up. And so whatever we have to do as a ;l people, eon violently, we shall come together and we shall be heard. Were =' not begging for anything because we are taxpayers. We era taxpayers and we have a right to share in the rev enues that come into our county and into our = City.. _ a (APPLAUSE AND SHOUTING) _ Ms. Patricia Lloyd: I'm Patricia Lloyd, the sister of Clement Lloyd.

McMillan: Stop the killing, let's deal with it, let's stop it. W'a've naked today for representatives from the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, we've asked for a full hearing. You know, we've been through these hearings before, Lorfl knows we got enough reports coming out of our ears. i did an analysis of 1968 va. 1989, same words, same paragraph, same space. So I don't know and we don't know what the answers are. We do know this, that whatever happens there i• no need in us addressing anything until we stop the brutality and stop the killings. We stand ready to support any effort toward that way. These people here, as you have heard, are truly law abiding citizens. We're not here to do anything other than to ask for justice. On behalf of each of us, we will not tolerate snything less. We are prepared to go all the way. And I really think what has to happen in Miami, I'm verp serious about this, I think we have just going to have to go to court and try to find some legal justifiable way to find out if we can have justice for somebody through hurting somebody's pocketbook. It just seems that we don't hear anything through talking. Somebody needs to pay and pay dearly for the civil rights of those who've been violated. We're asking that the federal government take a look at its foreign policy in terms of what it has placed on the City of Miami and Dade County. The disparity that is shown in the City between Haitians and other imigrants - has to be reviewed, it has to be looked at, it has to be stopped and we are - taking every effort that we can through legal means to see that that occurs. _ We are supporting our ministers, we are supporting all groups, we in the black community have come together and we are truly speaking with one voice.

Dunn: OK, that's one vote. - Mayor Suarez: To put it on the ballot this November. Rev. Dunn: OK, can you call roll, Mr. Mayor - Clerk. Can you make someone make a motion, put in the form of a motion? - Mayor Suarez: It's up to the Commissioners to make-the motion, but I'll _ certainly entertain it at this point. Rev. Dunn: OK, would you, sir? ~ i i Mayor Suarez: And if I don't get a motion, I'll move it myself. '' Rev. Dunn: OK, would you. '. INAUDIBLE COMMENTS NOT ENTERED INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD. :' Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, to make a motion today just to put the issue ,of r~ single member districts on the ballot, I don't think anybody has any objection to, I do not. There is more than just the issue that .surrounds that -~. particular ballot question. For example, when you create the districts, where are the boundaries which are more important to me, because we have seen is the '~ =_` past the gerrymandering of districts for convenience. Number two, hors are you '~ - going to structure the Commission? Are you going to do it with the .five or ~' are you going to do it with an increased Commission? Are you.. going to have " ~; members from districts and members at large? I will say to you, as I have ~ said here for the 19 years that I have sat on this Commission, I never have a 1 fear of submitting to the public any question for their answer and results. !- '' And I think each member of this commission has done likewise and we .have ,;r abided by their answer. T will make a motion to start the works of single ~~ member districts, but you've got to have the rest of the answers which are very very important. y~ ~"1- Rav. Dunn: We would be more than happy, Mr. Commissioner Plwamer,`to be a .rl _ - part of that process as alreddy stated. All we need ie for it to be official ' and we'll help you with the plan. j~~'~~-4 (APPLAUSE, CHEERS) ~`~- - =~ - ~~~ `_ Mayor Suarez: I understand the .motion .to ba that sittgla member districts ,b4 ' jbt~ }r - approved. in priacipl4 and be placed on' the ballot th~¢`~Jovember' and s7,1 Yt~e t`~~ - ' ~tdaquatR steps taken to dec~dp the nuiaber o~ di~ttiats ` sand the boundaries;-;' I -. ~ ' ~ t-! -"~ - Rueirantee you there will be hearings in the eomniuAiti4e.Qn anything haWinS`:ta ~ ~< dp .

INAUDIBLK COMMENTS NOT SNTfiRfiD INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD. Mayor Suarez: Corotoissioner kennedy. Mayor Suarez: Please. So we have a motion and we have a second and we have a third. Any discussion from the Commission on it? Mr. Dawkins: Under discussion. Mayor Suarez: Commissioner Dawkins. Mr. Dawkinss As J.L. said, there has to be quite a bit of work. But by the coalitions that we have here today, it's not a big job. We have ministerial alliances, we have other groups, but make sure... with all of you here today - structuring what's to be put on the ballot, is no problem. But you will have to .make sure that what's on the ballot is clear and precise and that people who .vote for it will understand it and that a no vote will not mean yes and a yes vote will not mean no. So, that's all J. L. was saying that these are the - things that has to be done. So putting it on the ballot is sot the thing. Putting the right things on the ballot is the right thing. - Rev. Dunn: Can we have an amendment to that motion then? :;:~.. Mr. Dawkins: No, we don't have to, no. Rev. Dunn: OK. Mr. Dawkins: Look, there again,. sir, we are going to come in the community and you're going to work on it and then when you get it together-you're•gong, to call us outand present it to us. Rev. Dunn: Alb right. Can we hear from the City Clerk at this time? Mayor Suarez: No, no, let me just add, let me just add if no other, ~ Commissioner has an discussion on it. As most of y you know, we have bees ~~ _f battling to do the same thing, first by a lawsuit and then by the grocess.of election in the county and you know that many of our problems lie both in the '' City and in the County without trying to say which one has more. So let us not forget after this day to make sure that the County process that is on its i+ay to .create single member districts be implemented and that's my own ~, personal message as part of this motion. Anyone else want to be heard on this , ^ issue? Commissioner... _ Mr. Jorge Fernandez: Mr. Mayor... ~:: S ~a _ Mayor Suarezs Yes. ~~ ;; fir. Fernandez: The ro er ~. p p procedure to follow at this time is to instruct the City Attorney to begin drafting a charter amendment which will provide for -~ members of the Citq Commiasiozs to be elected from districts appprtiongd upon .e~ ethnicity and population and further authorizing the City Manager to secure information on such .ethnicity and. population for this to go to th¢ reP~arendum ;1 in Nove:absr of '89.

Thie is the ons that pertains to instances where a proposed rezoning br change in permitted use deals with more than five percent of the City's total land area.

Mr. Clark: No, I'm not. Mr. Plummer: I wish you would check, because that is one fine newspaper. Mr. Clarks That's not on the list. The motion that you passed at the last meeting was that the same list of newspapers be carried over and that's what - we prepared. Mr. Plummer: We're not going to carry over a name on a list if we don't know if it qualifies, that's all I'm saying. Mr. Manager, I want you and the Clerk to know I'm going to be watching and I want to make sure that this advertising - is handed out on a fair and equal basis, OK?

Mayor Suarez: Because remember, when you came by, that we said that it would be all capital monies and no operating funds and we'd be going back on that. Ms. Smith: We have the operating in place, we ,just need to close the gap on the renovations to open May 1. - << Mayor Suarez: I do want to say this to the Commission, that a family shelter, it has a particular significance in the community.

Mr. Odio: The County would like... ~- f Mr. Plummer: No, no, not what they like. Mr. Odio: No, I have not made a commitment. Mr. Plummers OK, thank you, air. Mr. Odios Number one, because I cannot. I did ask the Commission the last time to reserve this money for Beckham Hall. Based on that we have had conversations to turn that facility over as soon as possible to the Salvation ' Army, if possible, and then the County would expect the one eighty six minus ? the twenty. If not, we might not have... we just don't have money to run the shelters here. Mr. Plummer: You know, may I inquire please, Mr. Manager, I'm seriouslq worried about the fact that you're talking about $600,000 as best, for 150 , people. Mr. Odio: That's right. • ~~ Mr. Plummer: Now that seems to me out of line. .

Mayor Suarez: You do feed the people, right? '; Ms. Smith: Yes, and services to get them back out in the cotmnunity aith Jobs. '- .; Mr. Odio: Let me clarify that they are serving 130 people, but it's not the - same people every day. When you add the total number of people that come through Beckham, it's got to be thousands of people. Mr. Plummer: What could you handle in one day is what I'm saying. _ Mr. Odio: One day it is 130, but that doesn't mean that they are going to serve only 130, and... Mayor Suarez: It sounds like a high figure to me, unless the building has high operating or overhead. _- Mr. Plummer: $5,000 per person? Mr. Odio: To start with, it requires ten people to run the place, seven days a week, 24 hours a day. ' Mayor Suarez: How many does your facility require to run? Me. Smith: The residential staff is about seven, .but then the Community Action provides the direct service staff. BstimateB for running Beckham Hall out of the discussion we all had was $800,000 bare bones. - Mayor Suarez: Bare bones. Ms. Smith: A year. ~ ~': Mayor Suarez: All right, so then we're not high. _' Mr. Odio: No. I again advise that we please leave, pull out of this business as soon as possible and just give them this money and let them take it over.

Ramirez: I'm Joe Ramirez, representing the FOP, Miami Lodge 20. Mayor Suarez: Oh, oh, you're one of our officers, I'm sorry. I knell that you were here on thin item, but I know he's an officer, but... any problems with this item? Ofc. Ramirez: The problem that we see happenning here is that they era only going to give ua 30 vehicles now for the police fleet, new ones. They plan on' ordering the rest sometime in Julq. Those will be '89 vehicles, but in reality won't come to the department until 1990, so we're getting back out of _ the cycle, th e tao year cycle that you all brought up and we're concerned with the safety of our officers and hopefully nothing like a David Herring incident would happen again. Mayor Suarez: What can we do about it at this point? Mr. Plummer: Wait, a minute, aren't they brand new cars? Mr. Ron Williams: Yes. Mayor Suarez: Well, the fact is that they may be a-model year old does not mean that have any use, or that they would be likely to give out anq, emissions, or anything like that. Was that your concern? - Ofc. Ramirez: No, shat I'm concern about is that we'll be falliag out of 'the" two-gear cycl e by prolonging, as the time goes by, the steps of refurnishing _ i the fleet. Mayor Suarez: In other words, we are not purchasing as quickly as we should be doing, is that what you are saying? I thought the two year cycle was unrealistic a t the time. I didn't think we could keep up with the-two year r cycle. =i - lrlr. Dawkins: Yes, but following his line of thought Mr. Williams, if the.. a vehicles are a year old when we get them, then we should have a reduction in ~ tho price, because we're not buying any new vehicles. ;' :~ , a lir. Williams: We're buying new vehicles. I'm sorry, Commissioner, I didn't " get the question. . :'~ ~- ~} Mr. Dawkins: OK, hold it, let me go back. I'll explain what I hear.

Ramirez: You see, that magnifies the problem, becausa-now we'll be using . the same current vehicles even longer, so that's why I'm saying that we're breaking out of the cycle. Mayor Suarez: Well, let's do this. We obviously ought to pass this - resolution, Officer, I would think, from your perspective, but ae ought to get a report back from the Manager as to whether we are going to be able to comply with the two year cycle policy instituted by the Commission, and if so, how do you plan to do it? Mr. Dawkins: All we plan do is by our automobiles and be done with it. Ofc. Ramirez: OK, thank you. - Mr. Plummer: Well, I don't think you want to buy them all at oae time aaghow, because you can't put them all into service at one time. - Mr. Odio: They would sit in the yard for three months. _ i Mayor Suarez: And not only that, they wreck them every day.

Mayor Suarez: 9:00 to 12:00, three hours? Mr. Montenegro: Yes. Mayor Suarez: To take place where? Mr. Montenegro: It is going to take place in 8th Street between 12th Avenue to 12th Avenue, going southward to 16th Street. Mayor Suarez: OK, one of the things you need... has the Police Aepartment looked at the parade route in terms of closures and ell of that? Mr. Montenegro: We did have one last year and the police appear. Lt. Longueira: Mr. Mayor, we have no problem. The issue is who is supplying the police protection. They are asking for is-kind services, I believe.. Mayor Suarez: We ought to go ahead and take up the parade -itself.and.the closures right? Lt. Longueira: The route is fine. Mayor .Suarez: I entertain a motion on the. permit- for the. route and street'. closures. `` ~, Mra. Kennedy: Y move it. ~y Mr. Plummer: Wait a minute. Where does it start, what avenue?

You can either take the mike from over there, and she will activate it, or also get behind the other one. There is a i mike that is movable too. Mr. Plummer: I'm concerned about blocking off 8th Avenue, which is a main north-south thoroughfare. You'll have to understand that if this route ie approved, that there will have to be periodic openings for traffic, OK? You've got to do that. Mayor Suarez: Why not the 7th or 6th? Kr. Plummer: 8th is the thoroughfare, where all the lights are. Mayor Suarez: Nell, why not an alternate route then, in vies of what you are just saying? Mr. Plummer: Well, start it at 8th Avenue, and it stays open. ~ Mr. Montenegro: No, it's starting at 12th Avenue. Mrs. Kennedy: It starts on 8th Street... Mr. Plummer: But it is 4th Avenue. Mrs. Kennedy: Yea, 4th and 5th Avenues. Mr. Plummer: See, that's the problem. 4th Avenue you are blocking the entrance to I-95, OK? - j Mayor Suarez: 4th Avenue? Mr. Plummer: No. INAUDIBLE BACKGROUND COMMENTS NOT ENTERED INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD. Mr. Plummer: What I am showing here, my friend is blocking. Mr. Odio: Then we can move it up. - Mr. Plummer: OK, move it up, fine. Then the only concern I have is 8th Avenue where you've got to allow traffic to proceed back and forth on a - periodfc interruption, that's all. Now, the problem is... Mr. Odio: Sir, the last time we closed Sth Street down, we had serious problems with the merchants. I just hope we have checked.... =- Mr. Plummer: Well, you got that problem with Calle Ocho, you got that problem with Three Kings Parade, and how to do you say yes to one and no to another? INAUDIBLE BACKGROUND COMMENTS NOT ENTERED INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD. Mr. Plummer: Now, the problem is, who is going to pay fos the policemen? Who s is going to pay for the barricades. That's the problem! Mayor Suarez: On the solid waste, we have... Mr. Montenegro? Mr. Montenegro? ~K Mr. Montenegro: Yes. r ~u Mayor Suarez: We have a system that if you post a bond for removal of your' ~'~a own garbage, whatever it may be, or trash, that it will be returned to you if~ in fact, everything is clean afterwards.

NOTE FOR THE RECORD: Agenda item 62 was withdrawn. 61. DISCUSSION BY MS. DEBORA BASHAM CONCERNING THE NEW COCONUT GROVE VENDING LAWS. Mayor Suarez: Item 63, Debora Barham. Did I pronounce the last name right? Ms. Debora Barham: Yes, Barham. Mr. Mayor, did you read my letter that I had written to you? Mayor Suarez: Yes, and I wish I... I think you requested an appointment too, but I heard so much on this issue, that I don't know that anything would be accomplished by another face to face discussion. Ms. Barham: I just wanted to speak on my own behalf. I bought... to me... Mayor Suarez: Put your name and address into the record, Debora, please. Ms. Barham: Debora Barham, 3193 Day Avenue, Coconut Grove, 33133. I wanted to make a few points about a Coconut Grove vending laws which you all enacted in December 12, 1988. To me the first and most basic point is that the laws were passed after my license was issued. I paid $304.T0 far a license from the City of Miami to vend on the streets of Miami including Coconut Grove and this _ license was a contract between the City of Miami and myself running from September 30, 1988 to September 30, 1989. Mayor Suarez: What about that argument, Mr. City Attorney? What about the argument that... Mr. Fernandez: She can still vend all over the City of Miami. The City has the right to close special districts. Ms. Barham: But you are stopping me from vending in the place... Mayor Suarez: She is not grandfathered in in any way by having her... Mr. Fernandez: No, it isn't. Mr. Plummer: We are also stopping you from vending in downtown Miami. _ Ms. Barham: But that was already a law before I bought my license. This is a new lea since I bought my license. I was doing this two years prior and I _ really didn't know, when I paid for my license, I went by the laws that they ..gave me at that tine, not by what you might do down the line.. I had already -, paid.for the .license and i had already bean given a copy of the lawn. I don't see why you should be able to break the contract. I did pay $300, I have the v check right here, I paid $304.07 for my right to be there. Mayor Suarez: I was just going to say the Constitution of they UAited. states `; ' does protect against what are called ex post facto laws, -but I ,guea$ thi,,~s.,,~s ~' .not Aecessarily in that category,. although you could ce;tainly_makq xhat - . argument, ~ h i .. ' M'~ _:, ~, W _-~_..e...~aw.......~_.._ _u. , i.~ _ ~- !~lti. Basham: iihy is that not in that category? Mayor Suarez: Because the Supreme Court has not included it tx~ thAt category, but,.. Ms. Basham: i don't ace why they should be able to change the lass after I'm _ just.... Mayor Suarez: it's felt to be reasonable regulations within our police powers in the Citp to pass that kind of regulation, even though it does affect you is a negative say economically. Ms. Basham: Could I ask what purpose dots the pushcart serve over the display - that I was already using, this display that was approved by the City of Miami? I took a picture of my display, and I'd given it to the City of Miami when I started paying for my license. And what advantage does a pushcart have to the - general health and safety and atlfare of the average citizen of, you know, the City of Miami? I have here 75 signatures from citizens of Coconut Grove that _ I did the other night in two hours. If I aas given a chance, I could get you _ 1,000 signatures, if that's hoc many you canted to get the average person's opinion on whether they cant us there in the Grove and whether they really care about a pushcart or not. There is no guidelines of how I am supposed to get this puahcart to this apace. This has denied me my living. I ass making my living out there in Coconut Grove. '' Mayor Suarez: Mr. Manager, did we think through what it would take to get one of these push carts, as designed and specified by our ordinance to the location in question? You were saying, I think, and you were making the argument in your letter that you couldn't tow one of these? Ms. Basham: How am I supposed to get it? Yes, first of all, it is written in there you want wooden wheels, which nobody has so far, and how am I, even if I could put it on a car, or tow it there, which makes an awful lot of work for somebody who only has to go out there for maybe three hours, how am I supposed to push this pushcart to this vending zone, and how am I supposed to push it back home at 12:30 at night, without, you know, I wonder how long I would do that before I would get mugged for my money, if I made any that night,-or worse? There's a entlemen out th a ri ht w d h h t ld th t h g er g no an a as o me a e is -j afraid when he goes home at 1:30 p. m. at night, and this is a man. This-. is: my E - daughter here, you can show them what you are wearing, this is the outfit, E - these are the clothes that I make. Mayor Suarez: That's highly unfair on your part to bring her in to make this argument. Ms. Basham: This a person you are truly affecting by doing this law. I'm ~, only trying to make my living. - .. Mayer Suarez: That's a no no. - F o Ms. Basham: These are the outfits that I made, and also, if you... for me, I T T think the thing that you wanted the most was to get rid of people. who are selling sunglasses and other items. You have not gotten rid of the people who are selling other items. You are have gotten rid of one of the only few .r, people who have sold handmade art. There are only three artists, if you would independently judge, or set up some kind of committee to base whether we were '~` on there by our art, rather than a pushcart, you'd find there are only three . ,'~ people that want to be out there that would qualify as being artists.. The. t~ rest of the people, two weekends ago, I was almost arrested for cot. having,;a # cart while down the block, where people who did have. a puahcart,. which .they - ~,~ rented for $100 and they were selling things that were not hand made-.and nothing was happening to them, and I asked the officer why, and he said he _ can't decide what is art and what is not, but he can always tell whether I '~~ have a pushcart or not, and my stuff is art. I was good enough for ~he:Saayan , Festival and the Coconut Grove Christmas in the Grove Festival,. sad -tt~e ~" Vizcaya... ~"r ~; _ Mayor Suarez: All right, let me ask a question. Are the wooden wheels a Ted ,' ~ Stahl opecial, by any chance, is that where we got that? Where's Tads Oki`my 4x = God, there he ia. Why would it require wooden wheels~,:Are you trgibg to make it more. quaint, more like the pushcarts at Bayaide, is that the idea? - -~ ` ~ - ~S1Z ~ekru~ary ~: ~~~'~ s_ '~ t., ~ ` ~~ - - --- T _ ___ - _ -- --_ _,.__.- • • Ms. Barham: This is Mr. Stahl. I'm not surprised he found out about it. Mr. 'hed Stahl: Yes, sir. Ms. Bashata: Nobody has complied with that. It's basically impossible. Mayor Suarez: How do you expect them to get them over there, Ted? bo you have any... Mr. Stahl: Hall, they have been doing were well so far. I'd just like to ask Debora where was she when all these ordinances were being drafted up? This has been going on for years. Where were you? And I know you've been out there all this time, way before this ordinance was passed. Mayor Suarez: Hell, that's •11 procedural. At this point we're trying to... Me. Bashsm: Maq I say air, that I was out there making a living, but I'd like you to ask the average person in the Anchorage if the rumors about them having to start paying rent, make them check the City Commission's agenda every single month, because I bet the average person in the Anchorage just hears all those rumors... Mayor Suarez: You're not going to bring that issue here tonight, please. Ms. Barham: But I don't... the reason I was not here was because I didn't take it seriously. I really never thought you would enact something like this and put me out of a job. Mayor Suarez: Hell, you have to start taking us seriously, now. Ms. Barham: I didn't think you would enact a pushcart law, certainly not that. Mayor Suarez: Well, there's a lot of sense in a lot of things that we put in there. I am not aura about the wheels, though. Ms. Barham: The wheels and the weight of it and... have any of you ever seen the thing that I already use and have been using for two years? The item that vas accepted by the City of Miami when I applied for my license? It is a chrome clothing rack. It folds up, it goes on top of my car. At 1:00 o'clock `~ at night when I leave on a Friday night, if I've made any money, at least I feel safe, I can drive home and go home. Mayor Suarez: Can I suggest something to you? Ms. Barham: Yes. Mayor Suarez: Why don't you reschedule for the next Commission meeting and put. ~ your cart out there so we can see ft. I'd like to see it and I'm not going ~ e to... :- j Ms. Barham: It is on wheels if that helps. It's a chrome rack. T can bring ~. you a picture of it this week. Mayor Suarez: Is it attractive, is it a nice tasteful... , Ms. 8asham: Between now and the next Commission meeting, I'm going to starve. .; Mr. Stahl: It is a typical clothing rack made of chrome with the small wheels k _ that opens up and opens up and opens up. Z think her rack is quite large. ~~, Mayor Suarez: How much does it open up? ~~, Ms. Basham: My rack is two and one-half by four feet!

Ms. Ssaham: Can we do that before the next meeting? i'li go get it nos, sir.. Mayor Suarezs I don't think so, because I don't hear anybody making a motion to amend the ordinance at this point, Debora, so... you knoa, at least you can bring in an exhibit to show us. Ms. $asham: Do you think that I could work in the meantime? i mean, if 2 ass - given the chance to maybe make the money. To me, 45 days between October 27th - and December 12th, I'm a single parent, that is my three year old daughter. Mayor Suarez: We can't impose a moratorium that would alloy one vendor to use __ one kind of cart and the rest of the, or... Ma. Basham: Well, I'm sure the other vendors could like it too. A couple of - them bought them, a couple of them are renting them. I can't afford to rent it.' I don't see shy you are going to push me out of a fob. Mayor Suarez: Yea, I guess in that particular district we have a Commission _- policy that they should not be there. But if Isere you, I would bring it in as an exhibit, I'd like to see it. Ms. Barham: Can I do it tonight? I mean, by next month... Mr. Stahl: I could dust like to say one thing... Mayor Suarez: Go on, I have no... r. Ms. Barham: I can take it apart and put it in my car.

Mayor Suarez: is that a fair statement, Ted? Mr. Stahls No. Ms. Basham: Absolutely, sir. Mayor Suarez: Well, of course, you haven't done a survey of the entire Morid. But look, why don't you leave us out, and... Ms. Bashams I know what's hand made and phat's not out there.

Nl~. Martinez: In the field of education also. i am before the Commission tonight to lobbq on behalf of my agency, my organization. ASPIRA, as most of qou already know, is a youth agency dedicated to dropout prevention. Through the ASPIRA process, ASPIRA hae maintained in the past year, a 98 percent retention rate of S30 students that sere enrolled in the ASPIRA club syateD. Also, ASPIRA contributes not only to preventing kids from dropping out e-f school, we also have implemented a youth gang intervention model. Tt's a successful model, which I've brought some of the posters of our gang prevention. And if I can go through them just quickly to give some of the Commissioners an idea of the early in intervention, prevention piece with youth gang members. We believe that zeaching out to kids who have dropped out _ of school or are at risk of dropping out of school. We have to ranch them early, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade, and that's shat I am here - before the Commission, for support of staff's position to work within the -- W}~nwood Community, which is also known as "The Old San Juan" community just recently renamed, to work with the.... _ Mrs. Kennedy: Let me say on the record that this a great program. It is a i d I b li v th t in the three ears great dropout prevent on program an e e e a y existence, Mr. Mayor, they have helped over 3,000 children throughout the City of Miami. How much are you planning to... are you asking, Raul? Mr. Martinez: I'm asking the City for continued funding of $25,000, which was funded last year. Unfortunately this year, I don't know what happened. We did not receive any... Mayor Suarez: We funded you $25,000 last year? Mr. Martinez; That's correct. ;- Mayor Suarez: Was any of that Community Development Block Grant monies? Mr. Martinez: I think so. Mayor Suarez: Where did we get it from? From your personal slush fund, Mr. _ Director? ,.. Mr. Castaneda: No, it is not from... under of Community Development, we have the priorities of food, health related and related services. ';In relation to that, ASPIRA has never qualified under those categories and that's why they r have never been recommended for funding under Community Development. The last ~- four years, they've come from other funds. =3 Mayor Suarez: What was the last thing you said? -' ~x ;;k Mr. Castaneda: For the last four years, the allocation for ASPIRA has come up from other funds. I think that they were allocated $75,000 in '84, $25,000 in '85, $10,000 in '86, and $25,000 last year. Mr. Martinez: Since our founding in the City of Miami, we've always received the support of the City and I'll always contribute it to the dedelopment of '' youth in Greater Miami area, working out of the schools of Jackson Senior High, Edison Senior High, Miami Senior, and working with those junior high schools that feed into that, Edison Junior, Booker T., Robert 8. Lee, Shenandoah, and Citrus Grove. "- _ y ~. Mr. Hugh Padrick: I wonder if I could speak in behalf of the achogls that ' deals with Mr. Martinez' students, who become our students at Lindsey-Hopkins ,h~i~f, Adult Education Canter. Today I dealt with two of his students and. placed r,r them in programs at our adult education center, who were in junior high aid ~N high school, at 17 and 18 years old. They were ready to drop out. Theq ere now still in school, continuing their education. One i~s ' in an ` air } ~ ~' conditioning class, and the other one is going in the commercial art class, so. _ a ' these kidb are not only in junior high, but they are coming into the adult ~ ~. `ty education centers as well, and we're at the school offering them free tuiti~tt i , supplying them with books, but the -kids need help besides,- and °Mz','"tiart'~~sast~-. ,' , request of $25,000 is small. ~ ~°~~ `' - ~~~~` t~ Mayor Suarez: Mr. Manager, recommendations?

I think the School Board has a budget of over one tho++t+!+1d million dollars. Why do they keep coming back to us? We have... Mayor Suarez: Otherwise known as a billion plus. Mr. Odio: A billion plus, and here we have in these appearances that we have coming up, we have requests for $226,000. Now, we just don't have the budget, I want to say it one more time, we have to, as of right now, we have zero dollars left for anything that is not in the budget, and I urge you not to approve any more funding. I think we should send the message out. Don't come back here for any funds. Mr. Martinez: Mr. Mayor, if I may. This is not a school issue, this is a community issue. When it affects kids, well, the schools caanot do it all. There must be not only at the school base level, intervention, but also at the community based level. The schools are not learning institution for a lot of our kids who are dropping out. The dropout rate in Dade County is 40 percent. Mr. Plummer: See, that's not the point, and people keep missing the point. The point is, the cupboard is bare! Now, you know, how do you say it any other way that makes it more acceptable than it just isn't there? We don't have the money) Mr. Martinez: This has been a City of Miami project from the start, and ASPIRA... Mr. Plummer: Hey, you've heard today that we are already looking, this coming year, at reducing every social program we have by 10 percent. Mr. Martinez: If I may, ASPIRA is not looking toward the City of Miami to fund all its operations.

There is just no other May. This man made a pledge to have no increase in taxes. Mayor Suarez: One source might be, and I don't mean to pull anything out of a hat, but Miami Capital has returned to the City some monies that Mere lent to _ good old Stuart Sorg and his hgdrofoil. Is he still on the board? Mr. Odio: Use that money for Mayor Suarezs I guess it is being returned to the City because the City had authorized... Mr. Odio: That money cannot... that money was lent from the Marina Enterprise - Fund, as I am reminded here, and can only be used for marina improvements. The fact is, Mr. Mayor... Mayor Suarez: I have a problem with that. I hope that some day, not necessarily tonight, we figure out a way around that and figure out a way to put that back into the General Fund, Marina Enterprise Funds. We're making money off our waterfront and maybe the Waterfront Board ought to look at that, - Hugh; and make a recommendation to the City that the valuable land that we are using for marinas, that is drawing a lot of money in from revenues and that we - ought to use that money for a variety of important purposes like this. Mr. Martinez: I understand the austerity of the Gity of Miami and budget crisis... Mayor Suarezs Well, it is beyond austerity now, Raul, it is like zippo. - Mr. Martinez:... and that all municipalities are facing. the investment in the. %d youth of this City is paid back in many increases. To house an inmate right. now, to house an inmate in Dade County Jail, or any state penitentiary costs $20,000 to $30,000. What we are requesting is not even the amount to house one inmate for one year at State Penitentiary, while prevention and education placed at an early stage of development can make a big difference. - Mr. Odio: Have you been in the County? The County runs the jails, save some money from the jailhouse, but... Mayor Suarez: How about the State? Have you... Mr. Martinez: Yes, we receive State money. Mayor Suarez: How much?

You can pay now, or you can pay later, I guess, is the saying, but these kids are going to be out committing crimes, winding up in jail, causing taxpayers expense, and shat he is doing and what is happening with his organization is, if you've worked with him, I've been involved with him for the last three years or so, and I've been amazed at what he does with the few dollars he has.

Mr. Ringo Cayaard: Mr. Mayor, members of the Commission, Mr. Plummer. Mr. Plummer: Oh, I'm not a member of the Commission? You're going to find out Mr. Cayaard: I will start by thanking Cotmnissioner Dawkins for what he has been doing for the Haitian community lately and we know that you went to W:shington yesterday, and coming back the same day, fighting for us and aiao the Manager. It's not too often that we have to praise him, but I think this time we do have to give him credit for helping the Haitian conmunity and for the past two weeks, you've been with us in Little Haiti, visiting us and reallq being involved in what's taking place, so I think once someone does something good, we have to also mention that, so let's pass on the Bureaugard issue. Mr. Plummer: Well, you see, what you've done is, you've praised two people, and you've made four mad! Mr. Cayaard: No, no, I mean... (LAUGHTER) Mr. Plummer: No, I think we ought to reconsider the Haitian Shopping Center, the Haitian Credit Union that all of us voted on, because you don't like us! Mr. Cayaard: Then I'm going to have to buy a coffin from you. Mr. Plummer: Sir, you are catching on quick, because you ain't going to survive very long! Mayor Suarez: For you he will do it free. Mr. Cayaard: Anyway, I'm not a politician, so... Mr. Plummer: That's obvious! Mayor Suarez: Not at the local level, I know, international! What do you want? Mr. Cayaard: Well, Bureaugard have been spending over $250,000 in the property that used to belong to the City of Miami. It was run down and they are leasing it for actually for $400 a year. So after spending so much money to do a daycare, and that daycare is owned by the church, which is a nonprofit organization, they feel like it would be best for them to either secure a lodger term lease, since they only have two years remaiaing, or buy the property, which was in the lease of the City of Miami and we met with many officials of the City. We met with Al Armada, and they were willing; to lease them. Mr. Plummer: I move that the Hope School be entered into negotiations with the City Manager for the purposes of possible potential buy. 3 99~ i t- S- V 1 {- r i !

As you are aware, ae are the selected developers to develop 50 townhouses on the Fern Isle project and 59 units elderly housing, a Section 202 program, which we will be filing an application this year. The Fern Isle project, we have contracted with Greater Miami Neighborhoods, The Enterprise Foundation, for their assistance on all the development portions of the project and financing of it. And Bob Pollack is here with us today and ha wants to discuss with you our unit prices and we'll like to close with the price of the land, so that we will be able to make our presentation to the Surtax Board, which our ~ should be out next week. Mr. Bob Pollack: My name is Sob Pollack, I am executive flirector of Greater Miatoi Neighborhoods. We are the consultants to the Allapattah Business Development Authority and for the project. Our offices are located at 1491 South Miami Avenue. Today, in terms of the financing for the project, we have ^ubmitted a loan application, to homes for South Florida that is under review by Barnett Sank currently, and ae are expecting a loan committee meeting at the and of this month. Indications are now they are viewing the project favorably for first mortgage financing for both construction and permanent financing. Mayor Suarez: Don't forget to remind us to make the appropriate phone calls to the appropriate banking officials to see that they try to look upon them more favorably before their committee meets. Mr. Pollack: Thank you, will do. Mayor Suarez: Anything else on the project? Mr. Pollack: Just in terms of where we stand on the financing. Surtax is _ issuing an RFP this month. They will be making decisions on the allocations to Community Development Corporation in June, which is the first we will know - whether we will have surtax financing. Where we stand right now, the unit price is including closing for the two bedroom units, with which there is 20, is $46,000, approximately. Mayor Suarez: What would the monthly payments come out' to be, surtax, second mortgage? Mr. Pollack: That's the key to the project, actually. Mayor Suarez: That's why I asked. Mr. Pollack: Right. Normally, the way Surtax will allocate funds .is at $28,500 a unit. However, it's a 50 unit project, they have a cap of . $1,000,000 for projects that were... Mayor Suarez: So you are assuming $20,000 per? Mr. Pollack: We are looking at $20,000 per. At that rate, the two bedroom __ units would be affordable at a monthly payment of three forty nine.

Mr. Smith: I believe what they are looking for is basically the... Mr. Plummer: Elderly, medicare. Mr. Smith: I believe basically they are looking for the same considerations as the approval in concept to seek funds afterwards. Mayor Suarez: And there is nothing at all happening in that property back there behind the center that is worthwhile, it is not really a park, it's bare and it's not accessible, particularly, nothing worthwhile is happening there. Mr. Plummer: Yes, but the same thing holds true, the same questions we asked of the other group, we've got to ask of this group, and the main concern that I have, is where is the money coming from, and don't tell me you possibly are going to get it from the State. To me, that's not an adequate answer. Where are the ongoing funds, after you build the building, where are the funds going to come from? Mrs. Kennedy: For the construction and the operation. Mr. Plummer: The construction is not my criteria, nor my concern. Mrs. Kennedy: The operation, then. Mr. Plummer: The operations. Remember, what happens is, is when you get this thing in operation, and suddenly the State no longer funds it, or other sources, they come banging on this door here looking for operational funds. from this City. Now, I want to know before this vote on this Commission, before we make a commitment that you can use and allocate a parcel of land, I want to see numbers of where the dollars are coming from, because Luis Morse _ in Tallahassee is not going to go up there and give money to a daycare center to be built unless there are operating funds. , Mrs. Kennedy: Well, they will have Mr. Plummer: And those questions have got to be answered. Ma. Christina Von Lindemer: OK, my name is Christina Von Lindemer. I am presently the Program Executive at the Allapattah YMCA. I have bean working in this area for eight years, and actually I have a daycare and an after - school aith part of it, government funds. Now, every single day, I have a daycare, with onlq 50 slots at the YMCA. Now, every single day I have to turn - people down because we don't have any more space. This is private people. We charge only $35 as a private. Now, government, from the Title 20, Title 5, and from the protect independents, which is PCBS program, this fs the Department of Child Development Service, they call us and they said, "Can you accept this kid?" , I have to say no. We don't have the space. That means that the monies, I do believe are there. The money is there. I have talked to - people from these departments and they tell me that there is money and they have to serve it in different branches of the YMCA. We have this program aad_ they said, "Will you please take the children?" ,Mr. Plummer: Are .you looking like the last group, to get the construction money from Tallahassee? ,~,~-~ ~d ~r Hs.

Mr. Plummer: Three twenty-five. Mr. Cazo: That's right. Mr. Plummer: OK. Is the State going to allow that for whatever reason that , is no longer an operating daycare center, that that would revert back td the City of Miami for whatever purposes the City wants? Because remember, you are going to be going in there on a revocable permit. Mr. Cazo: Commissioner, if that is a condition of the City of Miami, in order for us to be able to apply for the construction grant, then it will be if ae - are approved, based on whatever the City of Miami requires from us. Mr. Plummer: OK, I understand that. That was not the case with the other applications. The other application could not be used for anything else. Now, the final question is, what guarantee do you have that you can give comfort to this Commission that you are going to have the ongoing funds to operate as an operational basis? Ms. Von Lindemer: I do believe it is the need of the people in the community. Mr. Plummer: I'm sorry? - - Ms. Von Lindemer: The need of the people in the community. Mr. Plummer. But you are a subsidized program by government, correct? "` Ms. Von Lindemer: .Yes, but, there... Mr. Plummer: OK, they pay $35. How much per child is subsidy?'

Ms. Barham: I understand that our wife has purchased one from me. Mayor Suarez: Ah haf Ms. Basham: I just gave out... Mr. Plummer: Ohhhhhf Mayor Suarez: And there she is, grinning about the whole spectacle here. Mr. Dawkins: No wonder you canted her to come and show her wares. Ms. Basham: If you wanted me to get, you could name the amount of signatures from the citizens, if you wanted me to get a certain amount of citizens. Mayor Suarez: Do you pay sales tax on ali these items? Ms. Barham: Yea, I certainly do. Mr. Plummer: It looks like a mobile gymnasium. Mr. Basham: I'd like to know besides Mr. Stahl and Ms. Hendrix, exactly who else really has complained, because the reason they wanted us to get pushcarts is not so it could look pretty or get rid of us completely because they don't want us there at all. That's why there is nobody on Commodore Plaza Street at all, although there really is plenty of room, if they wanted me to get one that aas only side, that would be fine with me too, but this is definitely as small or smaller than the cart and then I line it with clothes, and it fits in that little square, only if I take this home at 1:00 o'clock at night, I can put it on top of my car and drive home, I don't have to push it home and worry about being mugged or have my money stolen, or perhaps worse, but the men who are pushing these carts home don't have to worry about the same thing. And as I said, if you would enforce the arts and crafts part of the law and judge each person individually, I'd be up for that, that would be fine with me, and give us each a vending license with a picture, then the police will know who should be out there, and who wouldn't and they would have an easier time, because they don't really want to bother with me either. I think the police have much more important things to do than to look and see if I have wooden wheels, or if my cart is made of oak or pine. I was told I could save $200 by using pine, instead of oak, I don't know if that would be OK with you or not, if I had to build it, but I... Mayor Suarez: I don't think they were supposed to look like that at all. It's not just a matter of the wheel. Ms. Basham: No, this is what I have been using for two years. Mayor Suarez: That looks like a rack. Ms. Basham: It is a rack. I sell clothing, I don't sell jewelry, S sell clothing, it is a rack. Mr. Plummer: It is a mobile gymnasium. '. 1 Ms. Basham: For my daughter, sometimes. You saw my daughter is three pears old. I am trying to be self-supportive. I really don't want to have to go on welfare and food stamps and all that. I am only trying to make a living.. We know that ton blocks away people are selling other things, not quite ae wholesome as tee shirts that are hand made. If you gave me... I really think that you should give me until the end of the term of my license with the thing ~` that was already approved by the City. The license is good until September 30th. I would get this cart if I could figure out a place to keep it downtown z so I would not have to push it back and forth, which is in the danger of my ~j safety, health and welfare, which it says in here that's the reason.

Mr. Odio: Because they are good wholesome foods. Mrs. Kennedy: Yes, well she does have a point, you know, she's you know., carrying the wooden thing at night is... Ms. Basham: How am i supposed to get it back and forth? Mr. Odio: Would you have any objections if you could extend it to September 30th? Mr. Ted Stahl: Yee. Mr. Odios So she can comply with the law? Mr. Stahl: We have four other persons that were out on our sidewalks that had vendor licenses issued, they have all gone out, because they want to comply with the ordinance, comply with the merchants. They've made their carts and they are out there operating their businesses. She doesn't want to do this. Ms. Basham: That is not true. I am a single parent with a three year old child. I cannot save $1,500 in 45 days. Mayor Suarez: You didn't make reference to whether you were a single parent with a three hear old child, so how can you contradict that? Mr. Plummer: But if you make an exception for one, you've got to do it_for all. ,. Ms. Basham: Two of the people are renting the carts for $100 a month. Those tro people down by the Playhouse, I will get specific now, do not make their stuff,- andyouu should judge their stuff and they would not be there. There is one other person who just made his pushcart, he does not make hie stuff. _ There. is only one jeweler out there. Mayor Suarez: All he said is that they comply, that's all he said. - Ma. Basham: Well, maybe they have the money. If you would like to give_me the money to get it made, I could have it by next week. - Mayor. Suarez: You know how I feel about the entire ordinance, but that's the ordinance we have on the books. Now, does any Commissioner has. any suggestions? We can't waive it as to one person, can we?

I appeared before this Commission in November of 1987 when the !nwr .~a~ *^ bar +.he r!ndors and the Mayor asked us to Mork with the civic community and the business community to work out a program. We worked for one year until October 27th on the specific guidelines in cooperation with the Department of Planning and Public Works and the City Law Department. We worked very hard and a lot of things that we compramised bn is not to the vendor's particular liking, but we agreed with the program and we ask that at this time no changes being made. In regards to... Ms. Bashams Why don't you have a cart, if you are so happy about it, why don't you have a cart? Mayor Suarez: OK, Ma'am, you've had your sap, more than just about anybody else on an item of this impart, and now he is trying to make a recommendation. Mr. Rasheed: We recommend that the law as it exists maintains. In regards to this individual, she has particular specific problems and needs regarding herself, but the law was passed for the benefit of the street merchants and the business community, and it is not difficult. The association is willing to work with her to help her with her cart and advise her. We do have storage space right in the central part of the Grove, where she can store her cart. We have two crafts people to make the carts. The law specifies that the article sold be handcrafted, not necessarily by the vendor, and that has been interpreted by the Law Department. I've met this young lady and there is plenty room and facilities for her to work under the current law. Mayor Suarez: OK, well that's the best we can do at this point, unless any Commissioner has any other motion. Ms. Basham: You're taking my job away? Mayor Suarez: Hey, it sounds like, from what he said, that they might be able to accommodate you somewhere if you work with them. What is your involvement is this? Mr. Henry Burger: Mr. Mayor and Commissioner, my name is Henry Burger, 300 SW 12th Avenue, Miami. I just have a concern with this lady, because it reminds me when I was young and I was starting, well, I'm still young, but... Mayor Suarez: What is pour involvement in this, Mr. Burger? How are you is any way involved except as an interested citizen? Mr. Burger: I am involved in the way that I see native Miamians trying to make a living and trying to get themselves started so that eventually maybe one day they can awn a store or something, just as I did in the past. -. tiayor Suarez: Why don't you invest in her cart to rent one, and maybe take a percentage of her profits or something? INAUDIBLE BACKGROUND COFSMF.23TS NOT ENTERED INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD. Mr. Burger: She... Mayor Suarez: Ma'am, you know, we've been as patient as we possibly can on this item. We've heard you twice, we've had you bring in your vehicle, it doesn't comply. There is nothing more we can do. Do you want to finish your statement? Mr. Burger: Yes, Mr. Mayor, what I wanted to say ie, if there is there some way that the City could help her out, because if she cannot go back tomorrow , and the police will harass her, and arrest her, she's got a kid, and this is one of Miami's youth natives, trying to do something so that they can make.°a living so they don't go out and have to work the attests or go in the unemployment lino, and I think, you know, we've talked a lot about laws, w~~vs talked a lot about helping people in this community. Well, here is specif is problems that not only her has, but a lot of people in this community have this problem, -and I am concerned because I see the young people is our- community trying to become business established and ae can't do it through some of these laws that have been passed. I can understand the problems that ' Coconut Grove has, and I can understand that, because I have bees with the- '` downtown Merchant's Association, and we've had that with the hotdog carts, but 1 ~~ ~~' 2i9 Februisry ~- 1p8~ ~ ~ ~- X~~`µ we also gave them a break and we gage them an opportunity so that they can situata themselves in a right place, so they can work together and do something. If e~he, tomorrow, cannot go back to Coconut Grovel she will not be able to make anq money, not be able to pay her bills, and this is one person from Miami who has come to the City to ask the City to help her, to figure out • way. `That's why we are all here, because we care about this comtaunity and we feel, you know, if I see this girl walk out of here and not be able to take here cart back to Coconut Grove tomorrow, I feel like here is one morn person going back to welfare, because of the system in her Citq. Thank you. Mayor Suarez: OK, thank you, Mr. Burger. Ms. Basham: I have no choice, because if i cannot work this weekend, I'll have to apply for welfare tomorrow. Mayor Suarez: Commissioners, anyone else want to say anything on this item? Ms. Basham: I can't have three month's extension? Three months? Mayor Suarez: I guess it is not even legal for ue to do it. Mra. Kennedy: Can we do it, Mr. City Attorney? Mr. Fernandez: No, you cannot. Mrs. Kennedy: I would be willing to make a motion to that... Mr. Fernandez: No, you cannot. Ms. Basham: Why can't she not? If it's expo facto, I don't understand this. Please explain it to me, this is my life I am talking about! Three months give me! Mayor Suarez: Please, please, Ma'am. - Ms. Basham: Well, they already have the carts. They'll keep bringing their carts, now that they've made them already. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, we have 49 minutes left. Mr. Burger: She is willing to cut the cart in size, rack... Mrs.. Kennedy: A one side rack. Mr. Burger: .., which makes it easier. Ms. Basham: Only for three months, let me earn the money, so that i don't have to go to welfare. Mayor Suarez: If any Commissioner wants to move to have the City Attorney look at the ordinance, and see that the modification can be made? Hrs. Kennedy: If the Cfty Attorney would let me, I would be willing to bet that also one side... Mayor Suarez: That's the best we can do tonight. ~ Mr. Fernandez: No, but you may not. The only way you can approach this is by _ suspending.... Mayor Suarez: Mr. City Attorney, if any Commissioner wants to move to have 'you look at the ordinance to see what changes could be made by amendment to the ordinance, so that some vehicle that looks like this, or contraption that looks like this could be legal, they can certainly make that motion. That - does not solve your problem tonight. Mr. Burger: Mr. Mayor, she could probably get her cart, in a couple... yqu know, in a little bit of time, if she could sell some of her clothes and be " able to go out and buy one. Mrs. Kennedy: And buy the wooden one. _ y`p: {" .. I"" ~2Q .~ 8eb~~- ,~~ ~A~9 ~ ~ _ r i -~ ~~ ~Tn~., ~ ~ ~ " ~ .~. , ~ ,. F ~ ~4~k Mc. be Yurre: Four. Mr. ltasheed: Four. Ms. Bashun: Tao. Mayor Suarez: Ma'am. f Mr. Stahi: Four, there are two being rented and there are two have been made that fall within the legal requirements by the ordinance. One rented cart had been converted properlq, and the other rented cart by the minister near tha Grove Playhouse Mho does make hie 3ewelry sitting there, has a cart, so far everyone has fallen in very beautifully with the ordinance, and it is being at the moment complied with by the Police Department and everybody is happy. It certainly has cleaned up our neighborhood. Mayor Suarez: What vas the question? Mr. Dawkins: Question, why is ft that no one has referred this lady to Miami Capital like we refer everybody else? Mr. Plummer: 46 minutes leftt Mr. Dawkins: Why is it, I mean, every time anybody else come up hare, you Kollar, go to Miami Capital, go to Miami Capital. Now here is a lady saying I am in dire need of funds. You got a citgwide loan fund at Miami Capital. I don't know why ae don't send her there. Mre. Kennedy: No interest loans. Mayor Suarez: There he is back there with the boa tie, the only person in this whole room with a boa tie. Seriously, he is the executive director of Miami Capital, so go talk to him. Unless any Commissioner has any other motion, we are going to go on to the next item, unless anq Commissioner has any other motion. time, by the time they qualify her... Mayor Suarez: I could have sworn I said I was going to have you removed if you spoke one more time, Mr. Burger. Mr. Burger: I love you, I love you. , Mr. Burger: The only other problem she's got, Mayor, is that that will take NOTE FOR THE RECORD: At this point, Agenda item 75 was brought<.up -for. discussion and the record reflected no appearance by interested parties. 72.

Mayor Suarez: At your own risk. Unidentified Speaker: Jim Mosin has a little something to remind you of our parade. Mr. Mayor, this will be our eleventh parade on Saturday, March 11th. We have been on Flagler Street for ten years. Many of you have been there, you know that our parade is the most multi-ethnic parade you can ever see, that's supposedly Irish. I once said that if you blinked, you could probablq miss if it were entirely an Irfsh parade. We've done everything possible to be Miami's friendliest parade. We have bands in our parade where you simply look at them and you know there is no person of Irish ancestry in that band. That is our parade, we're proud of it. We have resisted the efforts of some people who say let's go to Coral Gables, North Miami, Miami Shores. We are the Miami St. Patrick's Day Parade, representing all of Dade County. We're bringing for the eleventh consecutive year a Cabinet minister from the Republic of Ireland as our international Grand Marshal. We've put Miami on the international Irish map. Mr. Plummer: I make that motion that they go to the Downtown Business Association for the requested funding and if they don't get it, they come back here and the Manager will work with, whatever is necessary. I so move. Mr. Dawkins: Second. Mayor Suarez: I will vote for that only if you mean that happens and then additional monies are needed from the City, come to us for a vote. I will not vote...

APPROVE SPONSORSHIP OF MIAMI-NEW WORLD CENTER TOURS OF JOURNALISTS FOR $50,000 AS A LINE ITEM UNDER THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE BOARD'S FY'90 BUDGET. (LEVITAN) !layor Suarez: Dr. Levitan. ~, ~,: Ms. Aida Levitan: Hello, Mayor and Commissioners, I am here back again, in 1989 and let me tell you why I am here. I think I have good news for you. Back in 1988 in Jul ~ y, you made a commitment to promoting Miami- as an international trade and financial and cultural and sports center through the tours of journalistb that we have been doing since, 1980, but the Manager was ,. not able to find the funding for this program and to appropriate the funds to 1 put it together, so this means that we are way into 1989 and we really haven't done 'much vrith the tours because the money simply has not been there. I've. F heard your trouble here today and I am going to make a proposal that I think you will not refuse. The proposal is very simple, that this be considered as is a line item under the. International Trade Committee budget for the October 3: 1989. budget that you will coasidar in the fall. I think that will make it ~ into a much more,. organized. effort with criteria established with .the _~ Intarnational.Trade Committee-.for the invitation of 3ournalists and to really make it part of your effort to promote the-areas of Liberty City, Overtowa, . Little Havana, downtown and so on. So, that is the proposal that I am putting i. before you today, that the appropriation be made for it as aline item budget £; wader-.International Trade for the October, 1989-1990 budget. !lrs Kennedy: _Mr. Manager, shat is your recommendation? =.# !s_ Mr. Odio: I can add it in the budget and that at the .time, whew you' have. t`o consider the -final document, or through the workshops, you can priorit.i~e ~~ whatever you choose, but. I am ~~ have to be a y 6ofng to have to remind you, qou-are going: to .' pproved b International Trade Board. ^ _. _ Mrs. Kennedy: Move it. ' Mr. :Dawkins: Second. ~ rr ~,.{` g ,i-~; tlr.

Mayor Suare~c: We've gone as high as $50,0007 One thing to be said for the program is that in fact you have taken journalists to all the different naighbarhoods in the City and you haven't tried to do this routine of shorting them one or two sites and avoiding things, you know, places where re have to make great improvements in the City and it does create an incredible amount of international publicity, I have to admit and now that you.... Hs. Levitan: Yes, you got the architects journal article about Overtoan/Liberty City redevelopment that just came out in England. That Maa an extraordinary article. We made the cover in full color, and it is a 20 gaga article, really outstanding. 3 Mayor Suarez: Now that you've stopped sending it to my house too much. Ms. Levitan: No, I haven't done that in a long time. Mrs. Kennedy: Let me say that as you know, I have voted against this before,'. but I have to commend you for the work that you have done and I moved it. Mayor Suarez: Call the roll.

What I am bringing before qou nop, is a plan. Mayor Suarez: Are you still contemplating the mobile units or no7 Rep. Morse: I'm sorry? Mayor Suarez: Are you still contemplating, using mobile units as opposed to a fixed, no? Rep. Morse: No, fixed construction. Mayor Suarez: Fixed construction. Rep. Morse: Fixed construction. I have with me Dr. Garcia and I have with me Mrs. Sylvan Kaufman, who is the director of the offices of Health Services in the County. Dr. Garcia can go into a little bit more detail of how it can be porked. He is the director of Public Health here in the Dade County. What we are requesting is really that you work with us in allowing or leasing, really the land to Dade County for a number of years, contingent upon of course, getting this. Mayor Suarez: Any particular sites that have come up as ideal ones? Rep. Morse: Mr. Armada has shown Dr. Garcia several sites. Dr. Garcia has indicated that one site would be much preferable to the others because of the location that's right between say, East Little Havana and the regular Little Havana area, and also that it is very accessible as far as transportation, I -__ mean bus routes, and we are not talking here about people that come in their Cadillacs or Mercedes. We are talking about people that will be traveling in buses or walking to the area. - Mayor Suarez: I presume you'll get a lot of elderly in that area. Rep. Morse: Correct sir. All right, if you will allow Dr. Garcia. Mrs. Kennedy: Mr. Mayor, let me say for the record, before Dr. Garcia speaks, that Representative Morse and I have been working for this for what, about a - year now. We had it in the Legislative package, but unfortunately too late. - These facilities would provide diagnostic and nonsurgical primary health care in specific neighborhoods throughout the City of Miami. Rep. Morse: Yea, what we are talking about, Mayor and commissioners is a facility that can do x-rays, can do geriatric medicine, can do pediatrics, you know, take all the shots required by schools, that can do, is the whole list -~ of procedures to the medically needed population, the poor population that we ~ have in our City, in our Little Havana area and East Little Havana area. If I ~ ~ may, Dr. Garcia. , Dr. Hector Garcia: I will try to be brief because of the time.. My name is Hector Garcia. I'm director of HRS, Department of Public Health in Dade County. There are different things to consider here, as Representative Morse said before. These are things that were done recently, last year through money. __ gotten through the State Legislature in South Miami. The City of South Miami gave the land to the County and in that land is being built a new facility for that area. This year when I was in Tallahassee last week, I learned that Dade County Public Health unit is considered number one for a $10,000,000 grant,: or. award for construction only. What we are operating. now is in 135Q NW k~b _ Street _.is a very obsolete old building that is .not adequate yp;provide. _ adequate health care to the community that we are serviag .now,.. phicl~, ~gainl_p: are the living in that area, Little ,Havana, Allapattah,,,Overtown,-,.aud, around.... - 3 !layor Suarez: That would be off of 32nd Avenue an l tie, river aoa4eplacq, a rig~tt? NW 14th Street and 30th Avenue, you were sayin~g,.Dootor? f ~ Dr. Garcia: Right, yes. ; - t :'r _ ~ ti ~:r~ f ~_ ~ ~ ~I:r~l-or guare~t: t'm trying to rame~nbar ~-here that facility ia. Mr. Plumraar: No, no, Mhere they are now? Mayor Suarez: Yea. !!r. Plutnoers Mo, they're across from Cedars of Lebanon right now.. Mayor Suarez: What Mss the address you gave? Mr. Plummer: 1321 MW 14th Street. Dr. Garcia: 1350 NW 14th Street. Mayor Suarez: Oh, OK, I heard you wrong. i heard 3050. 1350, right. ~: Dr. Garcia: That facility is obaolate. It is not adequate to provide the services and in reality is not good for anything other than an old building. There are different possibilities of constructing one or two facilities. One could be, as Representative More mentioned in the Little Havana area, and Me considered also the possibility of opening another one in the OvertoMn area. I think that area is not directly served by any of the so-called neighborhood _ centers. If you observe how the Metrorail and how the buses travel in Miami, they don't go north and south, they go east and west, so, and I think those two areas there are in need of that kind of service. - -~ Mayor Suarez: I guess in Liberty City you have the Family Health Center, ao... Dr. Garcia: What? Mayor Suarez: In Liberty City you have the Family Health Center? _ - Dr. Garcia: Yes. Mayor Suarez: There is nothing in Overtown, right? Dr. Garcia: Yes, it is way north. - - Mayor Suarez: And nothing in Little Havana. Dr. Garcia: And these... Msyor Suarez: And we know what exists in Wynwood. Dr. Garcia: Yes, that is Borinquen Clinic and the other thing that we can... =j Mayor Suarez: I know he can't take too many more patients over there,: ~4 _ judge from the last time I viaitcd. i ~;$ Dr. Garcia: Well, I can tell you little things like this, for example, right _~~ now, I don't want you to be burdened with numbers, but I have to give you.some ~'? examples, because everybody is not aware, there are 30,000 deliveries in Dade ,~ ~ County every year, more of less, of those 14,000 to 15,000 are delivered at ~ Jackson. All those patients are low income people who are seswed by the _^ _ neighborhood centers and by the Health Department clinics. Still Jackson gets ~~- -~ around 3.000 or 4,000 maternity patients cannot be served because they don't s=_ _ } go early enough to prenatal care and that's a problem of concern, because '~' mortality rate and mobility among neonatals, or neonates, is in direct '~ relationship.. to the, prenatal care, so Me are talking. .about providing more ~ health to poor people and the operational forms that you may be concerned "#.s ~;~ pot concern at all,;because what I am talking 3s to change the location of ,the place Mhere Me,provide the services, aad,use that seed-money of ~~,O,000,OQO.to . s build an adequate ..facility wl.th all the equipment that will be necessary :to `~r 3~r provide adequate services. In addition to that, those buildings, according.to ~; ,~ 3 the new ldeaa and ppliCies and philosop~s.lee of HRS. under. he present Secretary ,'?~ .

Mrs. Kennedy: Right, I so move. Rep. Morse: Identify a piece of land to lease to Dade County contingent upon us getting the construction monies in Tallahassee, so that we can move forward on the plan. Mayor Suarez: Is there any space in the Overtown Shopping Center that has not been allocated, if we've decided to do this in that site too? Mr. Dawkins: How you going to build a site someplace else and don't build one in Overtown? Mr. Odios There might be a space in... Mr. Dawkins: Why you going to go in a storefront in Ovartown and build a new center somewhere else? Build two new centers. Mayor Suarezs i want to make sure we use an existing facility, rather than leave it open. Mr. Odio: There might be a place in Culmer. Mrs. Kennedy: That would be great. Mr. Plummer: Yes, but why not a land swap with the County? Mr. Dawkins: Well, in Overtown we don't need no swap, we lust had a riot, ire _ create our vacant spaces. Mayor Suarez: OK, let's entertain a motion to identify... Mrs. Kennedy: I so move. Mr. Dawkins: OK, I just need one question, Luis. The funding for operations; - where? Rep.

There are number of things that we need to „ do physically within the shopping center. I met with Mr. Gary to advise him exactly how we are proceeding with that. It is my anticipation that if we - stay with that we will be able to get much closer to the Commission's desire - to get that thing open pretty quick. There are issues such as electrical, roofing, air conditioning and those kinds of things that we have addressed is the past week and will continue to keep you advised as we get this punch list ~ checked off. I hope you have had the opportunity to pass by there to see what ~s we've done aesthetically with the exterior, the entire facility. is now ' repainted, the parking lot now looks like a parking lot.

Mr. Dawkins: What's the resolution? Mayor Suarez: Good question. Mr. Williamss The resolution at this point is that GSA basically has gotten various pieces of information from Public Works so that we could go in there and proceed with a lot of the internal kinds of issues that needed to be resolved. The issue in terms of the external piece, that is the new frontage, i.e. doers and windows, we will proceed on a contract basis with that, with the involvement and guidance of Public Works from a structural perspective, and I think with coordination on both sides, the City effort sill be completed, we'll be able to get this center •t least to the point that we can turn it over to Mr. Gary's office and they can begin to proceed toward opening. Mr. Dawkins: Dr. Perry, I hate to do this to you, but may I take a couple of minutes of your time? Will you come to the mike please, Ma'am? No, not Gloria, thank pou. Do you have a business in the shopping center? Unidentified Speaker: Yes, sir. Mr. Dawkins: Have we gone about helping you to make your business profitable as the along the lines of what Mr. Williams just said we are doing for these other people? Unidentified Speaker: Well, without the shopping center being completely open, - especially the supermarket, that's what's been killing our business anyway, I don't know exactly what the next step is, as far as getting the supermarket open. I understood Mr. Gary to say that there had to be a wall knocked out. - Mr. Dawkins: I want to know about pour place. Unidentified Speaker: My place? Mr. Dawkins: Yes, I want to know about nobody else but you. Unidentified ,Speaker: What I do need is my revocable permit executed. hasn't been done. Mr. Dawkins: OK, what else you need? Unidentified Speaker: About $5.00 in million dollar bills. Mr. Dawkins: Well, all right, sit down and I'll bring them to you. in a,few. minutes. .Have a seat, I am going to bring it to you is a few minutes. OK, go =! ahead, sir, go ahead. ~ Dr. Bill Perry: Oh, thank you. Bill Perry, 850 NW 7th Street Road, Overtown, _ ~ `, Florida. I just simply wanted to piggyback onto the report that was given. _ that it does appear that your staff is moving, we finally see some movement ~`~ relative to moving in the shopping center, but I'd like to take advantage of this opportunity to share with you the document that I just passed around. I - ~,; know you've been hearing a lot about what's needed in Overtown, and it seems =i everybody is hustling this now, every time someone comes in here, they talk j about where they are going to do somewhere else and overtown and many of those - people have not consulted with us relative to Overtown. Nevertheless, the :? ~ Overtown Advisory Board is giving you a set of priorities that we deem the ,;i~, kinds of things we'd like to see happening in Overtown.

As far as the way people are being chosen, just make it in multiples of five, please, it's easier that way in this Commission, and...

Hopefully we won't have too many tie votes. Mr. Olmedillo: It is better to have an odd number. Mayor Suarez: I see your director back there going ten, so you two guys agree. If he wants even and you want odd, I think he is going to win all right? MR. Olmedillo: Yes, sir. 80.
