The Sorg Group, over a six year period represented nineteen Virginia banks, the Virginia Savings and Loan League and conducted marketing seminars in major cities of America for the American Bankers Association. Additionally, the Sorg Group was instrumental in the founding and operating as marketing con- sultant Virginia's first stockholder owned savings and loan. In Florida following a five year period as Regional Vice President for the Southeast Banking Corporation with concentrated efforts in Boca, Delray Beach, and Palm Beach, Sorg Marketing Group was established with select marketing clients and with particular emphasis on projects and initiatives for the City of Miami beginning in 1979. CITY HISTORY: Since 1980, operating as Chairman of numerous city organizations and through the responsibility for numerous assignments from the Miami City Commission there has been a continuing opportunity to work closely with personnel employed by the City of Miami and located in every sector of the City Administration and the City Commission. This beneficial and rewarding working relationship and the successes that I have enjoyed over the years from this relationship has brought to the City local and national recognition as well as greater documented increased revenues generated from waterfront projects. PLAN OF ACTION: In the position of lobbyist for the City of Miami may initial plan of action would be to establish a list of priority names in Tallahassee, the City of Niami, Metropolitan Dade County, and throughout the state of Florida who could provide assistance and support where specific tasks, assignments and initiatives are directed by the Miami City Commission and the City Manager. A major effort would be undertaken to develop a 9R-SH. MARKETING STUDIED O PLANNING • ADVERTISING • GOVERNMENT RELATIONS P.O. BOX 73 0 COCONUT GROVE. FLORIDA 33133 0 (305) 858.055E 0 0 Page two close working relationship with all members of the Dade County Legislative Delegation, their staffs and support personnel. Additionally the develop- ment of a professional relationship with key Florida legislators and their staff personnel would be a major priority. Other working relationships would be developed as necessary. It would be nay responsibility to meet with the Mayor, Vice Mayor, the City Commission, the City Manager, and other designated personnel on an ongoing and timely basis in order that I may be prepared to act on behalf of the City of Miami in Tallahassee in an effective, conclusive and success- ful manner. ESTABLISHMENT OF FEES: After careful consideration of the responsibility of a lobbyist for the City of Miami and following numerous discussions with personnel who have had this assignment in the City of Miami as well as other cities in the State of Florida and in keeping with the continuing pattern of success that I have enjoyed in the State of Virginia and lobbying the City of Miami and various metropolitan governments in Dade County as well as the Depart- ment of Defense, I am submitting my request for an ANNUAL FEE OF $50.000 which would include any seven day special sessions and all personal expenses but would not include specific cost items and responsibilities which the City might assign and direct. Any requirement for additional funding over and above my personal expenses which would include luncheons and dinners and —activities which would be to my benefit and provide me specific leverage, would be born by the City of Miami and only after careful and specific discussions with the City Manager regarding such activities and assignments and costs. CONCLUSION: ATTACHED EXHIBITS outline specific project assignments and successes that have been undertaken for the Department of Defense and the City of Miami. It is my firm conviction that the attached exhibits represent the confidence that the City has had in me since 1979 in undertaking specific assignments such as: 1. Increasing the revenue on the Dinner Key Marina and surrounding yacht clubs. 2. Funding for rebuilding of the Virrick Gym boat launching ramp. 3. lobbying and securing of funding for the City of Miami's marine patrol boats. 4. Establishment of a Navy ship visitation program, including the visit of the USS Saratoga, 5. The beginning acquisition of a Naval Reserve Center, 6. The lobbying for funding for the establishment of hydrofoil waterborne transportation system, 7. Various documents reflecting major lobbying responsibilities includ- ing a findings report from Admiral Levy. It would be my intention to continue and improve this pattern of success in Tallahassee.

PROPERTY= FURTHER REQUESTING THAT CARMEN LUNETTA, SEAPORT DIRECTOR OF THE PORT OF MIAMI, MAKE AN OFFER FOR THE USE OF THE SLIP BY VESSELS OF THE U.S. NAVY, NOAA, TALL SHIPS AND OTHER TOURIST -ORIENTED VESSELS COMING TO THE CITY OF MIAMI; APPOINTING STUART SORG TO PROMOTE THIS CONCEPT THROUGH LOBBYING EFFORTS IN DADE COUNTY; DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO FORWARD A COPY OF THIS RESOLUTION TO THE WITHIN NAMED OFFICIALS. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORI DA : Section 1. Metropolitan Dade County is hereby urged, on its next dredging request before the Corps of Engineers, to request a 32' dredging permit on the property adjacent to Bicentennial Park/F.E.C.•property. .Section 2. Mr. Carmen Lunetta, Seaport Director of the Port of Miami, is hereby requested to make an offer for the use of the slip by vessels of the U.S. Navy, NOAA, Tall Ships, and other tourist -oriented vessels coming to the City of Miami. Section 3. Stuart Sorg is hereby appointed as a committee of one to promote the herein project and concept through his lobbying efforts in Dade County, Section 4. The City Clerk is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Board of Commissioners of Dade County and to Mr. Carmen Lunetta, Seaport Director of the Port of Miami. ��'-� 1i f C Land �Ho! '' �� MORE POWER to Stuart Sorg, president of the Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce, in his declared . gal to keep the U.S. Naval Reserve Center property in the Grove in public hands. Mr. Sorg is leading the drive to develop a cultural -arts center on the 3.25 acres along Tigertall Avenue. R will. be an uphill battle. The land. estimated to be worth between '$11 million and $14 million and coveted by private developers. will soon be put *up for sale by the Federal Government. The General Services Administration (GSA) Isn't yet taking bids on the land; which the Navy plans to vacate next April.. The GSA first will offer the property to other F.dAral agencies. The Coast Guard has been approached but, though interested, it hasn't yet come up with any firm plan for using the land. The latest proposal is to swap the Navy land for the downtown Watson Building. owned by the city of Miami and located next door to the Federal Building. The Miami City Commlasion agreed to ask the GSA to consider the swap because the Watson Bullding's Navy Sale in drove location would be benefklal in case the Feds decide to expand some day. It makes sense. of course. except that the eity's property is worth only iI • million. tar less than the Naval Reserve land. Developer Manny Medina, who has extensive Investments in the Grove near the Navy property, has agreed to help Mr. Sorg In pursuing the land for -public use. But it that tails, says Mr. Media. he will be first in line to purchase it. Well. the public-spirited effort shouldn't fall. There Is time enough, before the land is vacated, to resolve this In the public's favor. be It by transfer to the Coast Guard or city purchase. . • • Power brokers such as Me;sm Sorg and Medina have the know-how and clout to bring together disparate factions and effect a good deal. They've already contacted U.S. Rep. Claude Pepper and Sens. Lawton Chiles and Bob Graham to nudge the GSA to lower its price tag. That's a decent beginning for acquisitlon •of a slice of the Grove in an ama;where concrete Is fast encroaching. . 0 f 14P sawrd dd Do • m4"" Ssat1 ItdAars. auto 7 Haero. - So& Sabas.

INTRODUCTION TO HOLLAND i KNIGHT It is our pleasure to introduce you to the law firm of Holland & Knight. We believe Holland & Knight possesses legal talent and expertise in all significant areas of corporate and commercial legal practice. Additionally, as you will see, Holland & Knight, with its Washington, D.C. office,.its multiple Florida offices and the coordination between offices, is in many ways different in structure and organization from other firms. Our ability to provide excellent and efficient legal representa- tion to our clients at local, regional and national levels is not, we believe, matched anywhere else in Florida. Holland & Knight is presently one of the largest law firms in the country with offices throughout the State of Florida (Bradenton (which is referred to as the Southwest Florida office), Fort Lauderdale, Lakeland, Miami, Orlando, Tallahassee and Tampa) and in Washington, D.C. The firm traces its origins to two separate firms, one of which dates from the 1880's and the other from the early 1900's. Spessard L. Holland, former Florida Governor and United States Senator, founded one of the firms; Peter 0. Knight, one of the organizers of The Exchange National Bank of Tampa (now NCNB National Bank of Florida) and Tampa Electric Company, founded the other. The two firms merged to form Holland & Knight in July, 1968. Presently the firm com- prises approximately 200 lawyers, including Chesterfield Smith, a former president of the American Bar Association, two past presi- dents of The Florida Bar and many other lawyers who have distin- guished themselves in public and professional service on local, state, national and international levels. In the last several years, Holland & Knight has been one of the fastest growing law firms in the United States. Six of the cities in which the firm maintains offices are currently listed among the top twenty cities for growth in the nation. The firm Is committed to actively participating in Florida's sustained growth and her emerging position as a center of commerce and industry. The diversification of Florida's economy affords a wide array of professional opportunities in virtually every field of civil practice. Our firm is divided into three broad practice areas (business, property, and litigation) with various specialty teams in each area. Our practice includes the fields of administrative law; admiralty; trade regulation and antitrust; copyright licens- ing and patent law; corporate law and securities regulation; creditors' rights; environmental law; federal, state, and local taxation; food and drug regulation; government contracts; health care and retirement housing; international trade and interna- tional law; labor law; legislative representation; litigation of all types; media law; oil, gas, and mineral law; municipal bond law; probate and estate planning; public utilities law; real property law; suretyship; and transportation law. 1 88-8N If selected as special lobbying counsel to the City to ovide state representation in Tallahassee and federal represen- tation in Washington, D.C., Holland & Knight stands ready to per- form the legal services described herein in a timely manner. We feel that our capacity in Florida and in Washington, D.C. uniquely qualifies Holland 6 Knight to serve the City and to provide a personalized extension of the City of Miami at both a state and federal level. is 2 88-58 ON . DESCRIPTION OF MULTI -OFFICE OPERATIONS Holland & Knight's multi -office practice developed in response to demands from clients who had statewide needs, and from our belief that the ability to use the same law firm throughout Florida is beneficial to our clients. Our Washington office was established to allow us to further serve national and Florida clients. The practice is integrated throughout the firm, and clients are served on the basis of functional need for legal services rather than geographic location. Lawyers in each office frequently work on client matters that originate in other offices. Staffing of Client Needs. Holland & Knight's unique ability to serve clients' requirements virtually anywhere in Florida and in Washington is, we believe, one of the firm's greatest strengths. Through its eight offices, Holland & Knight operates as a single Integrated partnership, providing its clients the advantage of all available resources of the firm regardless of the office with which they have principal contact. Major matters are frequently staffed by lawyers who belong to one or more practice groups in more than one office. Costs involved in bringing lawyers with such needed skills from one firm office to another are borne by the firm. Therefore, the expertise required on virtually any matter can be provided immediately and efficiently anywhere in Florida or Washington at no additional cost to the client. Interoffice Communication. To further assist the firm in serving its clients' needs statewide, in Washington and internationally, all offices are linked by the most advanced telecommunications systems, including on-line word processing and computer equipment, which permit instant transmission of data and original documents between and among offices. Legal documents prepared in one office can be simultaneously produced in execution form in any of the firm's seven other offices and, in some cases, at other locations. IBM-compatible personal computers link Holland & Knight's sophisticated mainframe computer systems wherever our attorneys are working. In addition, the firm utilizes a central computerized billing system, daily interoffice mail delivery and an internal toll -free telephone system which serve to unify its multiple offices. Standardization of Legal Services. Utilization of a firm such as Holland & Knight on a uniform basis will help standardize- the legal services rendered to and for a municipality such as the City of Miami, help formulate uniform practices, documents, and legal theories; avoid expensive duplication in research, creation of documentation (including pleadings); and accelerate the crea- tion of a data base from which legal matters can be more effi- ciently and effectively handled. 3 88-88 0 rli Uniform Billing Procedures. Uniform billing procedures are used which allot client legal costs to be analyzed, both on a cen- tralised basis, as well as by individual matter. In consultation with the client, the firm designates one or more primary attor- neys to report directly to the person designated by the client. The firm representative is responsible for the smooth operation of the relationship and for consultation and addressing of issues such as budgets, cost savings, development of uniform practices and problem solving. Many of our clients have corporate counsel staff; accordingly Holland & Knight is experienced in preparing summaries of pending matters, reporting through counsel and div- iding responsibility for.legal matters. Day -to -Day Needs. Clients' day-to-day needs are met in a dif- ferent manner than transactional needs. in a transactional matter, Holland & Knight uses a team approach, involving the num- ber and type of lawyers needed for the particular matter. For day-to-day needs we assign a lawyer skilled in each relevant area of the law to be available to answer questions that arise in a non -transactional setting. in addition, the primary attorneys are always available to the client and/or its General Counsel. 4 19--BF _ 111. PUBLIC SERVICE Being a good law firm and the successful practice of law is not just good lawyering, it is a concern for the community in which we live and the quality of life. It is a concern for rightness and access of all to the remedies provided by one of the finest legal systems in the world. To that end, Holland & Knight and its attorneys are commited to civic, educational, professional and public service activities. Holland & Knight traditionally has supplied leaders to the public and to the organized bar associations. Past and present firm members have served as Governor; United States Senator; President of the American Bar Association, The Florida Bar, The District of Columbia Bar and the National Conference of Bar Presidents; Chairman of the 1968 Constitution Revision Commission (responsible for drafting the present Florida Constitution); Chairman of the National Conference of Bar Examiners and the Florida Board of Bar Examiners; Chairman of the Board of Regents of the State University System; Chairman of the Florida Council of 100; Chairman of the Young Lawyers Section of both the American Bar Association and the Florida Bar; federal and state trial and appellate judges; and presidents of local bar associa- tions in cities in which the firm maintains offices. Firm lawyers have contributed significantly to continuing legal educa- tion on both national and state levels. Many firm lawyers have served as chairmen of various civic, religious, charitable and social organizations. Chesterfield Smith, former ABA President and architect for the state-wide concept of Holland & Knight, is a strong advocate of lawyers becoming an integral part of their community. Throughout his illustrious career, he has constantly been in- volved in civic and pro-bono activities. Even in his pre - retirement years, he finds time to supervise and lend a "helping hand" to legal matters which best serve the community. Along with Marilyn Holified, Mr. Smith represented The Lawyers Committee For Civil Rights Under The Law, in which the Lawyers Committee coordinated with the City of Miami in defense of a lawsuit brought by the U. S. Department of Justice. This lawsuit was aimed at striking down the Affirmative Action Program for the City of Miami Police Department established years earlier, pur- suant to a court approved consent decree between the City of Miami and The United States Federal Justice Department. The Lawyers Committee with the City of Miami successfully defended the attack of this consent decree. Chesterfield Smith and Marilyn Holifield also are involved in the Meek vs. Martinez lawsuit, which challenges the formula for the distribution of Older American Act Federal Funds to elderly persons in Dade and Monroe Counties. This lawsuit was brought to challenge the adverse impact of the State's allocation formula on districts which contain high concentrations of blacks and S 111.

The evidence showed that counties with higher concen- •rations of minorities received a disproportionate lower amount �f funding than counties with lower minority populations. The case is currently under consideration by Judge Kehoe. In addition to the legal pro -bon* work performed by attorneys In the firm, other attorneys are actively involved in programs which promote minority involvement. Julio Gonazalez, in the Miami office, is one of the founders of City Kids, which is a program established to tutor inner-city children for several hours on Saturday mornings to help them in their Math and Reading skills. The program began in only one school, just a year ago, and has now expanded to five additional schools and has the back- ing of the Dade County School system. David Self, is general counsel to the Urban Bankers Association, which is an association of minority banking people. Mr. Self has also served as past - president of the Dade County Association of Black Lawyers. Marilyn Holifield currently serves on the Board of The Family Health Center, which provides primary health care services to more than 30,000 low income individuals. She also is on the Board of The Dade Foundation, which governs grants given to non- profit organizations to foster tri-ethnic relations. The commitment of Holland & Knight is to be there and to be concerned. It is to be involved and to care about the community in which one lives and the people which are a part of that community. Holland & Knight provides equal employment opportuni- 6 es by recruiting, hiring, training, promoting and compensating employees without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, or handicapped. 6 IV. WASHINGTON, D.C. REPRESENTATION The firm has a long history of representing its clients in federal legislative and regulatory matters in Washington, D.C. In 2982, Rolland & Knight opened its Washington office to better serve our national and Florida clients. As a result of the ex- tensive legislative practice in the firm, experienced attorneys are available to respond to issues and concerns that may arise in the course of our providing federal representation to the City. The firm regularly monitors federal tax legislation and the activities of the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee. In addition, we track Internal Revenue Service regulatory and ruling developments. Several members of our Tax Department were formerly employed by the Internal Revenue Service and participated in the drafting of Treasury Department regulations. Since joining Holland & Knight, those attorneys have continued to impact the content of such regulations by sub- mission of comments on proposed regulations during the comment period. For example, our Tax Department works closely with our legislative attorneys to provide complete tax analysis and as- sistance in developing and drafting tax legislative provisions, report language. and other background and explanatory material. Members of the Tax Department have LL. M. degrees in taxation, and regularly participate in seminars, workshops, and similar educational programs that keep them abreast of the most recent tax positions of the Internal Revenue Service, as well as developments in Congress. More recently, members of our Legislative, Tax and Bond Departments have worked together to re- present several local governments and governmental entities with respect to specific provisions, transition rules, and report lan- guage in the Tax Reform Act of 2984 and the Tax Reform Act of 2986. This included provisions concerning rehabilitation tax credits, consumer loan bonds, tax increment financing, and tax- exempt financing of various specific projects including sports facilities, housing projects, and solid waste disposal facilities. Holland & Knight has a very close and excellent working rela- tionship with the entire Florida congressional delegation. From 2977-2961, Janet Studley served Senator Lawton Chiles as Chief Counsel to his Subcommittee on Federal Spending Practices and Open Government. Chesterfield Smith of our Miami office, John Germany of our Tampa office, and Burke Kibler of our Lakeland of- fice also have developed longstanding personal and professional relationships with members of the Florida delegation. Marty Steinberg served for several years as the Chief Counsel for the V.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is one of the largest standing subcommittees of the V.S. Senate and has substantive investigative powers. Over the years, our attorneys have worked with every member of the Florida delegation and have developed strong working rela- i 7 tionships with both the members and their staff assistants. In addition, we have also worked with members of Congress from other = states and with the staffs and members of House and Senate committees, including the Senate Finance Committee, the House Nays and Means Committee, the Budget Committees, the Appropriations Committees, the Senate Commerce Committee, the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the Judiciary Committees, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, and the Armed Services Committees. Holland & Knight has provided representation to a number of local government entities including the City of Lakeland, the City of Sarasota, the City of Tampa, the City of Tarpon Springs, the City of Gainesville, Polk County, Broward County, the Polk County Industrial Development Authority, the Florida Downtown Development Association and various housing authorities with regard to legislative and federal agency matters. Historically, on legislative and regulatory matters in Washington, Holland & Knight has provided this representation on a project -by -project basis. Holland & Knight also has worked with various other federal agencies on behalf of local governments and other clients. These have included the Department of State, Department of Treasury, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA), and Department of Transportation. The firm has extensive experience in assisting local governments with respect to the awards and administration of federal grants, monitoring federal regulations which impact on project financing, and providing coordination and legal advice on the interrelationship between the federal grant agency (e.g., HUD) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Other departments and agencies with which Holland & Knight has worked include the Department of Commerce, Federal Communications Commission, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Interstate Commerce Commission, U.S. Customs Service, Office of the United States Trade Representative, International Trade Commission, the Justice Department, and the Defense Department. `p 8 0 J V.

OP 10 • V1. TALLAHASSEE REPRESENTATION Holland & Knight serves as legislative counsel to companies and trade associations to provide a variety of professional ser- vices ranging from simple monitoring and reporting of legislative and regulatory matters to full service representation. Legislative representation, as with administrative law, is a procedural expertise. The administrative law practice encompasses representation on all aspects of regulatory matters, including rulemaking, permitting, compliance and enforcement proceedings, negotiations and administrative litigation. Examples of agencies that we reg- ularly appear before are the Department of Revenue, the Department of Natural Resources, the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund, the Department of Environmental Regulation, the Department of Legal Affairs, the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, the Department of Labor and Employment Security, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Administration, the Department of General Services and the Florida Land and Water Ajudicatory Commission. The Washington office is active in rulemaking activities of the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Administrative law, like general trial practice, is a proce- dural mechanism to provide fairness and due process protections when dealing with the executive branch of government. The sub- stantive issues are as varied as the agencies. Holland & Knight has the capability to render advice and provide representation on the full range of procedural and substantive issues that arise in relationships between our clients, agencies, other governmental units and affected private interests. Particular areas of expertise include: State, and Local Taxation - Holland & Knight recognized some time ago the growing importance of state and local taxes to our clients in financing matters (because of the importance of tran- saction taxes in Florida's tax system), expansion decisions, and operating economics. We have developed substantial expertise in all areas of state and local taxation and as a result have an ex- tensive practice in this area. We regularly appear before the Department of Revenue in formal and informal proceedings and han- dle tax litigation at the administrative level and in the circuit and appellate courts in tax matters. The firm monitors all state and local tax legislation as well as attends all meetings of the House and Senate Finance and Tax Committees. We have represented clients on the repeal of the worldwide unitary method of determining Florida corporate income tax liability and issues related to the apportionment formulae; ipreserving certain sales tax exemptions, e.g., for research and development costs, machinery and equipment for new and expended 11 businesses, cogeneration of electricity and component parts; ad valorem and intangible taxation of governmental leaseholds; amendments to the gross receipts tax and municipal utility tax as a result of the divestiture of AT&T; and general tax administra- tion issues, a.g., filing of petitions, refund procedures, waiver of penalty and interest charges and filing of consolidated returns. t Environmental and Land Use - Holland & Knight authored the 1986 Land Reclamation Act; represented various interests on the Growth Management Act, the State Comprehensive Plan and amendments to the Wetlands Act. Additionally, we monitored legislation dealing with stormwater discharges, underground storage tanks, toxic wastes and employees right to know, and water management districts. Attorneys of the firm regularly appear before agen- cies in rulemaking proceedings, including: Regional government - Members of the firm presently repre- sent clients in connection with the Southwest Florida Water Management District's proposal to adopt rules providing for the management and storage of surface wat- ers pursuant to Part IV, Chapter 373, Florida Statutes. We also have represented clients in rulemaking proceed- ings before the Tampa Bay and Central Florida regional planning councils. • State agencies - Members of the firm presently participate in a number of rulemaking proceedings pending before the Florida Department of Natural Resources and the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation. We recently have represented clients in rulemaking before the Department of Community Affairs and the Florida Land and Water Adjudicatory Commission. Federal agencies - The firm has participated on behalf of clients in rulemaking matters before the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Army Corps of Engineers involving environmental and land use regulatory matters. Telecommunications - With the rapidly changing communications technology, Florida's telecommunications laws are being exten- sively rewritten. in addition to tax related issues, the firm is involved in regulatory issues such as shared tenant services, resale certificates and telemarketing. 0 22 '99--86 V11. SCOPE OF SERVICES: TALLAHASSEE In providing Tallahassee representation, Holland & Knight will: (a) Monitor various legislative or administrative issues at the state level and report to the City on significant changes in connection therewith; (b) Provide the City with legal analysis of legislation; (c) Monitor and report on status of bills of interest; (d) Analyze and review committee testimony; (e) Coordinate interest groups; (f) Maintain liaison with the City's legislative delegation and assist the delegation in matters which the City determines to be important; (g) Advise and consult with the City Manager, the City at- torney and other City officials on legislative strate- gies and tactics; (h) Assist the City in a development of legislative issues • impacting on the City; (i) Provide lobbying on behalf of the City in connection with special event funding; (j) Initiate special legislation impacting on the City; and (k) Advising that the City, in advance, of issues upcoming in Tallahassee which will impact upon the City. Holland & Knight has been intensively involved in legislative matters at the state and federal level for many years. The firm regularly provides legal services in all aspects of legislative practice including: (a) Preparation of legislation and substantive amendments to filed bills; (b) Legal analysis of legislation; (c) Monitoring and reporting on status of bills of interest; (d) Preparation and delivery of committee testimony; a (e) Coordination of interest groups; and ® (f) Traditional "lobbying" activities. 13 9 -8j 0 V I I I . PROPOSED FEES Holland A Knight upon a favorable response by the City would be pleased to enter into a fee arrangement with the City on the same basis as provided for in the City's current Professional Service Agreement. This arrangement may be established as a yearly retainer, payable in equal monthly amounts, with customary expenses and routine outs -of -pocket costs reimbursed from an ad- vance of funds which could be predetermined. The scope of legal services provided herein are those which arise in the normal course of Tallahassee and Washington repre- sentation and excludes the performance of extraordinary or unu- sual services. An example of such activity would include special projects relating to the substance of proposed legislation (as opposed to merely the timing of the legislation's effectiveness) which require a broad, comprehensive lobbying effort beyond the members of the House and the Senate who represent the City. Further examples would be the preparation and filing of a request for a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or adjudicatory hearings before other federal administrative agencies. If, during the course of representation, the City requests Holland A Knight to undertake an unanticipated special project which would involve amounts of time over and above that covered by the Professional Service Agreement, the City and Holland & Knight would agree in advance to the appropriate time required and the fee structure. No special project would be undertaken without the approval and authority of the City. We appreciate this opportunity to submit our qualifications and proposal to the City for serving as Tallahassee and Washington special lobbyist.

The Firm's focus is transactional. More than half its work is litigative (trial and appellate, administrative, and arbitral). The balance of its work (corporate, financing, and taxation and estates) also remains transactional because the Firm has normally declined the role of corporate general counsel. In 1985, the Firm received the Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice's Law Firm Commendation Award for its public interest work, thus marking the only time an entire firm has been so recognized by the State of Florida and acknowledging the very significant, broad -based commitment of the Firm to public interest matters demonstrated over many years. The Firm has attained its depth and breadth of practice while remaining relatively small. The Firm will continue to concentrate on constant improvement in the nature and quality of its practice, and not on size. A list of the Firm's major clients is attached. The Firm is the leading communication law firm in the Southeast. The Firm has acted as First Amendment counsel to Mm Miami Herald, the dominant newspaper in Florida, for over twenty years, and has represented many other press and electro- nic media in Florida in this capacity, as well as the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press pro bono. The Communications practice, however, extends beyond the First Amendment. Commu- nications clients include AT&T, Saber Silverstein & Partners Advertising, Florida Cellular Telephone Company, Knight-Ridder Newspapers, Inc., = Miami Herald, MCI Communications, the Florida Press Association, Home Box Office, and WPBT-Channel 2, one of the major national public broadcasters. The Firm's corporate and financing practice is broad. Financings are handled for both borrowers and lenders. Bank THOMSON ZEDER BOHRER WERTH & RAzooK representation includes Citizens and Southern International Bank, The First National Bank of Boston, Florida National Sank, Miami Savings Bank, NCNB National Bank of Florida, Regent Bank and Southeast Bank.

The Firm also has expertise in most corporate specialties and handles substantial corporate and commercial litigation. The Firm has worked with a variety of international concerns engaging in business in Canada, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. The representation has been of private and publicly -held corporations involved in international con- tract, tax, and dispute matters. Leading clients include General Defense Corporation, MCI Communications, Wackenhut International, Incorporated, and Mg Miami Herald. { on a 22 k= basis, the Firm has been involved in extensive matters concerning the environment, governmental reorganization, Indian land claims, cultural organizations, and the disabled.

During the past year, the Firm initiated an extensive program of computerization, as to which it expects to complete installation during the current year and complete networking during the succeeding year. All of the staff and more than half of the professionals within the Firm are proficient in computer skills. The Firm communicates with clients and other law firms by computer, and intends to expand that capability further. The computerization program is primarily supervised by Sal Mustelier, Manager of Information Systems. -� The Firm has three departments: Litigation, Business, and Tax and Estates. Nevertheless, the Firm has an active interdisciplinary approach to the practice, and therefore most attorneys in the Firm practice, or at minimum are conversant in, the work of more than one department. LITIGATION: Sanford Bohrer heads the Litigation Department. He and Parker Thomson, Jon Zeder, Cloyce Leland ! Mangas, Jr., Douglas Halsey, and Jerold Budney are the liti- gation partners. Communications Law. The First Amendment practice is considered a Firm hallmark, with representation of = Miami Herald and other newspapers and broadcasters in libel defense and constitutional litigation.

This included the successful defense of Boeing in a three-week jury trial in 1993 involving a major air crash, and acting as local counsel for Boeing in actions arising from the 1982 crash of an Air Florida Boeing 727 at National Airport in Washington, D.C. The Firm has also acted as counsel to GAF in Florida asbestosis and asbestos -in -construction cases.

The Firm successfully defended AT&T Information Systems in a $7,000,000 suit brought by Metropolitan Dade County, Florida, and has successfully prosecuted arbitration claims ranging from $700t000 to $6000,000.

The Firm has a highly sophisticated transactional practice which draws on extensive expertise in the areas of finance, real estate, corporate, securities, mergers, acquisitions, commercial and general business, government relations and international law. Client representation in such transactions is evenly divided between counseling national and international companies in transactions involving multiple jurisdictions and representation of Florida -based clients on a continuing basis. Finance. The Firm represents borrowers and institu- tional lenders in all aspects of debt finance, including con- struction and permanent loans, revolving credit facilities (secured and unsecured), leveraged business acquisitions, receivables financing, sale -leasebacks, letter of credit facilities, collateralized mortgage loans, and equity parti- cipation contracts.
