SILVER SLUFF HOMEOWNER OCIATIQ P.O. BOX 45-2303 • MIAMI, FLORIDA 33145 September 28, 1987 Mr. Aurelio Perez-Lugones y Legislative Administrator City Hall 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, FL 33233-0708 Dear Mr. Perez-Lugones : On Friday, September 25, 1987 AM, I called to confirm that the "Golden Arms Apart- ments" item was placed in the agenda for the City Commission meeting in October 8, 1987 at 6:00 PM. I was notified that the meeting of October 8 was cancelled. I was also notified by your secretary that she did not have any request to schedule this item; and when I told her that the mayor himself requested it during the City Commission meeting of September 8, 1987, apparently she did not have the transcripts of this meeting. I understand that the next City Commission meeting will take place in October 22, 1987; therefore I am requesting on behalf of the Silver Bluff Homeowner Association, for this item ("Golden Arms Apartments") to be included in the agenda of October 22, 1987 at 6:00 PM. Enclosed you will find a photocopy of the transcripts of the City Commission meeting where the City Mayor asked for this item to be scheduled. Thank you for your time and cooperation. If there is any problem or question, please do not hesitate to write or call me at (305)381-8610 from 10:OOAM to 4:OOPM, from Monday through Friday. Thank you again. C vo A.

Dr. Gustavo Casanova: Gaod evening. I am Dr. Gustavo Casanova. 1 live r.t 2001 S.W. 24th Terrace. I am sneaking on behalf of the Gil*,or Bluff Homeowners' Association which I am the president for. In May 20, 1907, Commissioner Plummer introduced a motion instructing the City Attorney to immediately commence condemnation proceedings in the property in question. The :potion further instructed the City !tanager to obtain appraisal for said property and to bring this issue back on July 23, 1987. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Kennedy and passed uaanimoucly. In July 23. 1987, the personnel responsible failed to have this issue in the agenda. The issue was discussed, thanks to the interest shown by Commissioners Plummer and Carollo. Despite everybody's expectation, the appraisals were not ready. According to Mr. Pierce of the City Manager's office, the Commission and our neighbors were told in July 23, 1967, in two weeks tie will get the appraisals. The City Attorney's office and the Adminiztratior. will then sit down, try to negotiate a nr_GIf we r_;:n'': ne-ot iate the price, then the City Attorney's ��•>>, gilt.: f., �t� 4 >xa i i cf ice s_11 r:^cve on the condemnatior action. Ladies and c_ntle:aen, a11ov me to clarify that those are the instructions *ven by the Commission since I107 28, 1987, Today, SeY`egiber 8, i�,t7, the cersonne1 responsible failed again to insert this into t::^ zrondi, despite instructions of two of the Commissioners. We ra�•� learned that the appraisals are not done because the anpra_sers were nct permitted into the property. We have also laa.nerd that the person in the City Manager's office in charge of this _�s;ue says that he needs instructions to further proceed. - City t:ttorney's office told us that now the project will be is the handy of their eminent condemnation expert. We, the neighbors, ;7ou1d like to ask this City Commission for three things: Dnr, all these problems faced by the Administration and t::e Cit ;,t:torae;•'a office to be brought up before this C::maiszion and into the record; two, please instruct the Administration and Cit7 Attorneys office not to go into a stand pcsiticn or situation and finish once and for all with this nightnar2: and three, ask the personnel responsible to have the grace er" not forgetting to place this issue in the ;fg.enda of t* aext City Commission meeting in October 8, 1987 at 6:00'pji A yor Suarez 0:i, there is already order to be placed on the agenda for tfe next meeting and if it hasn't been, it will be ordered at this point, and we, 1 think it reflects the consensus c.' :hi:, Commission that by that tine we had better have the appraisals and tic batter have City legal action to require entry into the buildings, otherwise, do an outside appraisal, whatever it taken so that we can proceed with condemnation by the next meeting. Is there anything more that we can possibly do at this point? Ms. Sanc: ez-Pando: No, T.... 11r r: Ili can do something else, and if we don't do it, if ua- don't have those answer by October 3th, my motion is going to Lie to talte tinder quick -take, and I don't like it, I think it is horrible to take it under quick -take, but you go in and you c;,:,!ilizh., and you freeze at that date. Now, you have got 30 days, :.r. Manager, in which to come back to this Commission with e .....,s._rs. I thir.l: that's from May to June, July, August, SaPtn—mbe.-, October, is five months, and as far as I am concerned, trill make a motion at the next meeting, if we don't have the :h Zns::crs. Pagor Suarez: So moved. a Mr. Carollo: Can you possibly give this Commission some of the :.r.fo:mation that I understood you have that in the last year or ^o, tl,3 price, the appraisals on this property, has gone up tremendously from when they bought it a couple of years ago. Mr. ililian: Well, since they started working with the homeowners' association, what I did for the meeting of May 28, 1987, with this City Commission, we developed's booklet that we provided to each Commissioner and the City Mayor, with copies of the records, the official records of the property, of the lots involved. We noticed, !or example, lot 8, which is an empty, vacant, condemned buildin;... Ms. Sanchez-Pando: .(OF? -MIKE, INAUDIBLE) Dr. Casanova: ... was in 1984, the building appraisal was $10,000. 11r. Carollo; $10,000 in 1984. Dr. Casanova: Right. Ms. 2anch7z-Pando: They paid taxes for $10,000. Dr. Casanova: Gn --)Pcember, 19C6, that Ss the date of the sale of tl'^ ProPe'ty.
