Department of Development ENCLOSURES:
Subsequent to the Department of Development assuming management
responsibilities for the Overtown Shopping Center, Janet Reid
from our office had a meeting with Mr. Ed King Jr. to ascertain
the reason for his not paying rents as stipulated in his lease.
He informed her that he had a verbal agreement with the Furr
Company to pay only half the rents, and he would furnish the
City with records to substantiate his payments so we could make
the necessary adjustments. To date he has not furnished the
requested documents and our written query to Mr. Furr produced
the following information:
On October 3, 1983, the Furr Company wrote to Mr. Ed King Sr.,
Christian Development Inc., stating the terms of the lease for
the laundry at the Overtown Shopping Center.
The assumption is that the lease delay was acceptable and signed
as the next correspondence was dated November 51 1984,
acknowledging receipt of rent for November 1984 and underscoring
rent concessions made to Mr. King for the months of June, July
and August of 1984, when the shopping center was not completed.
The communication also stipulated that even with these
concessions, Mr. King was still in areas presumably for the
months of September and October, in addition to the Merchants
Association dues and requested that the accounts be made current.
On January 21, 1985, in his reply to Nr. Furr's letter of.
November 5th, Mr. 'King stated in effect that the 3 months rent
concession was not enough, that his total expenses caused by the
delay of the opening of the Shopping Center was $6,111.00 and he
expected monthly statements for the entire amount.
The next communication dated January 24, 1985 was from kr. Michel
King, Vice President of Christian Development, Inc., informing
the Furr Company that due to insufficient business the laundry
would be closed twice weekly.
Alex Villarello w2- July 1, 1986
On January 28, 1985 the Furr company responded by to M. King's
letter of January 219t, requesting documentation of expenses of
$6,111.00 and offering to make reasonable considerations to his
benefit.
On February 28, 1985, Mr. Furr informed Mr. King that the Board
of Directors had waived all rents since he occupied the Shopping
Center in October 1984, thru March 1, 1985. He was further
advised that beginning March 1, 1985 he was expected to pay his
full amounts of rent plus other expenses associated with his
lease.
Apparently, Mr. King still did not pay his rents as an eviction
notice was filed April 23, 1985.
On September 10, 1985, Mr. King informed the Furr Company that
because the Board of Directors did not allow him to relocate the
laundromat he would vacate the premises on or before September
30, 1985.
Mr. Furr responded on September 18th, by offering to work out
alternate arrangements to keep Mr. King a tenant at the Shopping
Center.
In his June 2nd response to our inquiry, Mr. Furr informed my
staff that he did have a verbal agreement with Mr. King to accept
half of the rents until the Supermarket was re -occupied, but to
date Mr. King has not paid any rents.
In light of this situation, I suggest your office take whatever
action deemed necessary to recuperate the losses to the Shopping
