1 '• ENCLOSURES: l
Enclosed is a copy'of a letter from Attorney Richard G. Taylor to Marie Petit.
It strikes me that what the Miami Outboard Club and the itiami Yacht Club are
requesting is reasonable.
This matter has been pending since February of 1982. It has passed the Water-
front Board, the Leasing Department of the City of lkLiami, but somehow it has
not come up for final resolution.
Would you please schedule this matter for the May 24 meeting or, at the latest,
in June.

I really do not wish to bedevil you, but can't get close
enough to you to put the proverbial salt on your tail, so
here goes --
We have been negotiating administratively continually for
The Miami Outboard Club and The Miami Yacht Club relative
to their recent audit and roughly doubling of their annual
rent. S9e are presently paying: Miami Outboard Club, $13,
120.00/per year and The Miami Yacht Club, $16,326.29/per
year. In the case of The Outboard Club the audit more than
doubled same and The Yacht Club a little less than so. The
equities have been expounded and re -expounded and, without
naming anyone particularly, the Lease Department, The City
Manager, etc., etc., have all expressed support, empathy and
concern for the Clubs positions, particularly due to the fact
of their multiple and, certainly, endless support of all comm-
unity activities and, most assuredly, Black included.
Obviously, no-one wishes to make a big thing of the matter
if avoidable and, certainly, to make any political disruption.
The majority of the Commission have individually assured us
that they would support the Clubs position if it came to
push and shove; hopefully, it need not do so.
In February 1982 I wrote a Resolution and tendered same to
Carlos Garcia, Director of Finance, stabilizing the rent as
aforesaid, (same is predicated on the State Leasehold Dry
and Water Land Tease states), as per copy attached. Everyone
more or less assumed that this was reasonable and adopted as
same was initially approved by The Waterfront Board and rec-
ommended to the city for its Lease Approval Meeting of Febru-
ary 11, 1982. Until the audit came alive on some basis, there
was no deviation from the rent being thusly paid. Obviously,
even a memo from The City Manager at this point could resolve

Reference is made to an undated letter addressed to the Cit_✓ :Tana:;er's
Office from Richard G. Taylor, attorney at Luw, conc�!rninb th(- anmc,_:nt of
rental payments that the above nenti.otiod clubs ar,! presently pz:,ytnb t.
the City of Miami for the use of City property on '.:atnon island.
Backaround of Clubs
Since the 1940's, these club.; pail 51.01) a ye.ir fir approximzt,21;• fL,
(S) acres upland and submerged property each for over twenty (20) rears,
and it was not until the early 1'�,�C'� th;lt a C-Oncurted effort was mat�+r
by the City to bring these $1.00 a e it rases in line, to produ.:e r:)ru
revenue for the City. Consequently, in 1982, atrecments wQre r�achu'_
with both clubs: the Miami Gutbo ird w n1 a p.�.✓ the r.,inimu;n of rt 3, 1"_'U.`lU,
and the Miami Yacht Club would pay annually. A cl-iuse ais.-)
included in the rent schedule stated that if 10 percent of the gross
income exceeded the minimum rental, as ontlinud anove, the clubs woul
pay the greater of the two.
Subsequent to the leases being signor, Mr. 'ravlor appeared be:,)re t'uu
City Commission on April 1, 1982, acid by `lotion Nc. 82-324, th,, Cit;:
Commission moved that the minimum _mountS as outlined would �! the
payment. However, the City Auditing; Department rofuses to accupt th,--
motion as being valid and, therefore, the boors -cro :audited. 1TI..y
were charged the 10 percent of income, which .;.-is ;lre.gter t;.,in
the minimum rent, hence Mr. �sylor's :tt�r.
There may be merit in 'ir. "r,ivlor's Ztcnt :un that 11-0 perct-:- t v' ,r-),
from a private, non-profit organization is unfair. A5 lie status, th,1.•
could raise money for a charitable •iff•iir and yet be ::s,e5sed lu p Frcent
of the amount of money raised that would normally ;,u t,; charity. ::owev-r,
to amend the leases that have 11 mo:iths to run until 2j1a/?5. wi�:ch

l.�b.g time member of The Miami Outboard Club and participant
of The Miami Yacht Club, 1 am tendering this letter as a solicita-
tion for help in behalf of both Clubs. The present existing Lease
of both Clubs, subsection five, provides for rental payment on one
of three bases;
A) Predicated upon the State of Florida's Leasehold or
State-owned land to .3ari,nas, etc.
B) A per capita property tax -complicated and lesser than "A".
C) A 10% of grrr.s ire which can b interpreted in many ways.
The Clubs have been paying on the basis of "A" as "B" is fundamen-
tally irrelevant. Recently, both Clubs have been audited and the
Auditors have taken a different position on the interpretation of
10% of gross, i.e., that 10% of gross is every nickel or dime that
passes through the Clubs coffers.
A simple illustration is that if either Club had a dinner and
catered same for 300 people at $10.00/per head, the Club received
$3,000.00 and, perhaps, paid the caterer $9.00/per head, i.e.,
$2,700.00; one construction is the Club received $300.00; another
construction is the Club received $3,000.00. A different illustra-
tion of penalizing charity is, i.e., The Miami Outboard Club had a
Muscular Dystrophy week -end some 2 years ago, raising a little over
$10,000.00; current audit construction would be that the Club is to
be assessed a little over $1,000.00 for conducting said event.
Multiple additional arguements can be made. The contributions of
both Clubs to civic, multiple donations, integration, education,
are almost.endless; both Clubs fully support auxillaries, public
projects, needy groups, Overtown, Sponsorship or an overtown Boy
Scout, Group, Projects, etc., etc., etc. i simply submit the avail-
ability of both Clubs for public purposes. use , projects, charitable
activities, education benefits and seminars are without contest.
Accordingly, Z mould solicit the support of The City Cominis—sion in
making the current 3-year Lease, i.e., till February 28, 1965, at

SUBJECT: Summary of Significant Findings and
Recommendations for the Amended Audit
Report of the Miami Outboard Club,
REFca.NOE.inc. , Operation - Year Endi ng
February 28, 1983
ENCLOSURES:
The audit disclosed that the City rental revenue from the Miami Outboard Club,
Inc., operation, for the year ending February 28, 1983, amounted to $13,120.00,
and was paid to the City on a timely basis.
The Club has not submitted the required membership composition to the City for
the six months period ended August 31, 1983.
® The City Clerk's files do not include a current executed copy of the lease
agreement between the City of Miami and the Miami Outboard Club.
The appropriate recommendations were made to the Finance Department and City
Manager's Office.
At the April 1, 1982 meeting, the City Commission passed a Motion (#82-324)
directing the City Manager to enter into a Lease Agreement with the Miami
Outboard Club whereby the City was to receive only an annual rental of
$13,120.00, until such time as the City shall adopt plans for Watson Island with
some certainty, at which time the Club may apply for a lease compatible with
said plans.
Due to the Motion (#82-324), we anticipate the City Manager will authorize the
amending of the existing lease agreement in order to only charge the annual
rental of $13,120.00 to the Club from March 1, 1982 ; therefore, we have amended
this report to verify that the Club has paid in full the required annual payment
for the lease year ending February 28, 1983. No other requirements of the lease
agreement would be affected by the amendment.
The City Manager should execute the required documents to amend the lease
agreement, as soon as possible, to properly authorize the amount of rental due
each year.

,SURES:
I. DESCRIPTION
A. We have audited the Miami Outboard Club, Inc., operation for the
period March 1, 1962 through February 28, 1983, to determine the
rental and State Use Tax due the City of Miami, and compliance with
the lease agreement.
B. The lease agreement dated March 30, 1982, between the City of Miami
and the Miami Outboard Club, Inc., was authorized by the adoption of
Resolution 82-94, dated February 11, 1982, for a period of three
years, beginning March 1, 1982 and terminating on February 28, 1985.
C. At the April 1, 1982 meeting, the City Commission passed a Motion
(#82-324) directing the City Manager to enter into a Lease Agreement
with the Miami Outboard Club whereby the City was to receive only an
annual rental of $13,120.00, until such time as the City shall adopt
plans for Watson Island with some certainty, at which time the Club
may apply for a lease compatible with said plans. No other
requirements of the lease agreement would be affected by the change.
As a result of the Motion (#82-324), we anticipate the City Manager
will authorize the amending of the existing lease agreement to only
charge a fixed annual rental of $13,120.00 effective March 1, 1982.
0. The requirements of the lease agreement pertinent to this audit are
listed below:
1. The operation of the Club is primarily designed to serve the
members of the Club, the boating public, and visiting tourists,
and for no other purpose. Food and beverage 'shall be permitted
only for Club members and guests, but not for the public.
2. The annual rental payable to the City shall be $13,120.00 of
which one twelfth shall be paid each month on or before the
twentieth day of the month.
3. a. In addition to the aforementioned rent amount, should a
vacancy occur on any space where a boat is kept and the
vacancy is not filled by a boat owned by a City of Miami

The audit disclosed
that the
City
rental revenue from the Miami Yacht Club,
Inc., operation for
the year
ending
February 28, 1983, amounted to $16,326.29,
and was paid to the
City on a
timely
basis.
The Club has not submitted the required membership composition to the City at
the end of each six-month period.
We could not find proof of the required public 1 i abi 1 i t,;i insurance coverage,
standard fire insurance, or automobile liability insurance, in the City's files.
The appropriate recommendations have been made to the Finance Department to
request proof of the required insurance coverages and membership composition.
At the April 1, 1982 meeting, the City Commission passed a Motion (n82-324)
directing the City Manager to enter into a Lease Agreement with the Miami Yacht
Club whereby the City was to receive only an annual rental of $16,326.29, until
such time as the City shall adopt plans for Watson Island with some certainty,
at which time the Club may apply for a lease compatible with said plans.
Due to the Motion (182-324),' we anticipate the City Manager will authorize the
amending of the existing lease agreement in order to only charge the annual
rental of $16,326.29 to the Club from March 1, 1982; therefore, we have amended
this report to verify that the Club has paid in full the required annual payment
for the lease year ending February 28, 1983. No other requirements of the lease
agreement would be affected by the amendment.
The City Manager should execute the required documents to amend the lease
