BRIEF DISCUSSION ITEM ON LEGAL PAPERS SERVED ON MEMBERS OF THE CITY COMMISSION IN REGARD TO THE LAW SUIT FILED BY FORMER POLICE CHIEF, KENNETH HARMS. Mr. Dawkins: Mr. Pedrosa and Mr. Gary, 1 have just been served with papers from a Mr. Kenneth I. Harms, former Chief of Police, now a Captain with the Miami Police Department. I have just been served with papers and I'm not a lawyer. I think it was agreed by this Commission that every Commissioner was entitled to counsel.. Is that correct? I would like for you to have Mr. George Knox contact me before the end of this meeting. George Knox is a lawyer I want to represent mc! in this. I'd like to get in touch with him as quickly as possible, so that I can know on what legal. ground or steps to take, please, :.sir. Mr. Carollo: Miller, what arc you complaining about? You have to check that, if it is more than I or Commissioner Pere:= Lot out of it today. 2. DISCUSSION 111Etl: RETENTION OF OUTSIDE LEGAL COUNSEL TO REPRESENT INDIVIDUAL M1:M!5E1tS OF THE CITY CC*Q,1]S1,I0N 1N CONNECTION WITH THE LAW SUIT FILED lit FORMI'l, 011EF 01. POLICE, KENNI:TH HARMS. Mr. Carollo: if 1 may, Mr. Mayor. On a more serious tone now, what I'm getting quite concerned gild it i.. bccolrii;t c 1� :rir nnt, what is mine to happen by tllc St.atuiIiuntn that liiV collealUv lliadu, iL a1)pearS that instead of having Ong att Trlcti' to rupicSri]t all tliu individuals involved in this 6 on the City Side, we arc Bold �'ulli� to Etch iildlividuLil CumlliiSSiullt'r, the City Manager, the City, arc going to acquire their own separate attorneys. 01 APR 51984 sl Id 11 Mayor Ferre: The law requires that, Commissioner Carollo. Mr. Carollo: This is going to cost the City, Mr.. Mayor, an extreme amount of dollars. You tell_ me that the laT.7 requires that you have to get a separate attorney? Mayor Ferre: Yes, sir, T am saying that:. Vb lt; 1 a.:, saying is that the law and the United States of Americn, does not, pp?-mit: oc7- lrivy-er to represent two clients that may have confl.:i.cts in the same isriie, Therefore, the lacy requires separate l_av-. ers for :i.ndi.vidunl s than: ?re in,:nl ;. ed in the same suit who may have separate identities. I might: re.,T.ind you that in your particular case, you intent to Richard Gerstein, no, I'm sorry to Bob Shevin, Mr. Carollo: No, I went to the same attorney that represented the other party in the case. We were both represented.... Mayor Ferre: iltii.ch was the other party? Mr. Carollo: You know who the other party is, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferre: No, I don't remember the case. Mr. Carollo: You certainly do remember it. Mayor Ferre: I do not remember the case. Mr. Carollo, And N•,,e went under the advice of the former City Attorney, Mr. Knox, that stated that we should do that. What I'm looking for, Mr. Mayor, and I real-v can't understand this in this particular case, is the suit that is bei.nl_ presented here is the suit that entitles the City of Miami, as a vioole. 1 can't. understand i-An, at least that part of it our City Attorney-, whe stated that lie could handle it, can't go ahead and handle it. Mr. Dawkins: Mr. Mayor, since Commissioner Carollo is not involved in this, since Commissioner Carollo dial not file a case, since Commissioner Carollo is not one of the defendants of whatever we are, I couldn't_ care Less what Commissioner Car.oll.o views are on this. I, Miller Dawkins, feel that if this gentleman feels that he liar, to go get the best 1_:�c,�er ghat he can to present his case, then I feel. that I have the right to tet the lawyer whom I feel. best and comfortable with to defend me. Mayor Ferre: I. don't think there is any question of that either traditionally, historically, in this City or any other governmental. body, when there is a case of this sensitivity. I don't think there is any question, Conmiissioner Dawkins, that you and the other members of this Commission, including myself, are entitled to representation because this obviously is a City matter. The interest of the City and the individuals may not be the. same. I think that is a premise of law in the United States of America, and thank God that it exists, and that we have that type of a defense situation. Mr. Carollo: I'll give you your �'urplr Heart, gentlemen. 3.

A MOTION APPOINTING MANNY MEDINA AS A MEMBER OF THE MIAMI SPORTS AND EYdITBITION AUTHORITY. Mayor Ferre: The items that I have at this time is first of all Raul Masvidal resigned as the Chairperson of the Miami Sports and Exhibition Authority due to the fact that he was appointed as a member of the board of regents and felt that lie should not serve on tWO important boards, even though there was no conflict. The authority itself met and is recommending to us that Larry Turner be named the Chairperson. I think I'm willing to vote for him if somebody wants to move it. If not, I'll be happy to move it. Mr. Carollo: Mr. Mayor, before we get into that, when Mr. Masvidal resigned, that means we have a vacancy then. Correct? Mayor Ferre: Wle have a vacancy, which is my appointment, and I would like to appoint Manny Medina. If someone would make that motion, we'll start with that one.

DIRECT CITY MANAGER TO ALLOCATE AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $5,000 AS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE CHOPIN FOUNDATION FOR CONCERTS TO BE HELD IN THE MIAMI CONIJENTION CENTER WITH CONDITIONS. -----------------------------•--------------------------------------------- Mayor Ferre: Wn have Ili-. P,obert Chumbley of the Chopin Foundation, who is here. Is Mr. Chumbley here? Gould you step forward, s.r. The Chair recognizes you. The Chopin Foundation i.e requesting a grant from the City of Miami. in order to have a piano competition at the Miami Convention Center in December. The funds for rental acoustical she]_! and insurance, it is a rather complicated matter, but we'd likle for you to give us an explanation. Mr. Robert Chumbley: Robert Chumbley, the competition being held and sponsored by the Chopin Foundation is one of the largest in the United States. We felt, with the presence of the national media and the filming of the project by public broadcasting system that the most beautiful setting possible world be most desirable for. us. Since other events in the competition are taking place within the Knight Center, at the University of Miami Lecture Hall, and since 800 room nights have been booked in the Hyatt Regency Hotel for artistic staff and visitors, that we would very much like to use the auditorium for the major events. Unfortunately, the cost of the Knight Center is a bit beyond our fund raising abilities at the moment and we respectfully ask that.... Mayor Ferre: How much are you asking of the City? Mr. Chumbley: $14,500. Mayor Ferre: Have you asked ... how much is the rental fee? Mr. Chumbley: The rental fee is $6,930. Mayor Ferre: So it is $7,000. You are asking beyond the rental fee. Mr. Chumbley: Yes, sir. Mayor Ferre: Have you asked Metropolitan Dade County or any other governmental organizations? Mr. Chumbley: I presented two grant requests to Dade County. Both, so far, have been refused. I have a third under consideration at the moment. Mayor Ferre: You have a third consideration from whom? Mr. Chumbley: From Metro Dade County. I presented two grants already and was refused on them with the suggestion that I apply to you. I still have a third one under consideration now. Mr. Plummer: Did you try Hialeah? Mr. Chumbley: No, sir. Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: They don't give any money. Mayor Ferre: Hialeah is not involved, but Metro is involved because.... Mr. Plummer: Hialeah doesn't give grants. That's why I asked. Mayor Ferre: ....this happens to be within the boundaries of both, Metropolitan Dade County and the City of Miami. Have we helped you in the past? Mr. Chumbley: Yes, sir, in 1980 you gave us a grant of $10,000 for the very same purposes, although it was a different concert hall at the time. It was the Gusman Hall Cultural Center. sl 0 b ,,APR 51984 f 0 Mr. Plummer: How many people are you expecting to attend? Mr. Chumbley: For the events that would take place in this particular auditorium in the Knight Center, about 4,000 altogether, 4,000 to 5,000. Mr. Plummer: Per at:.tendance? Mr. Chumbley: No, for the total attendance. Mayor Ferre: i•,e have until. December. 8, 1916, I wculd move the following for you. That the Mgnager, first of all study this. Secondly, that we would be willing to give yr�u 55,000, provided however ghat you receive $5,000 or more from Metropolitan Dade County, and that you raise $5,000 from the public sector. That it be held in Miami at the Knight Center. We have until December to worry about this. I realize the Chopin Foundation competition has become a very important musical event. I think that we ought to participate, Mr. Chumbley, but we cannot assume a full responsibility. That's just one man`, opinion. I don't know whether you'll get two people agreeing with that. Mr. Chumbley: I appreciate that. We do have one problem concerning time, though. T_ have contractual arrangements that are in advance that must be met immediately concerning the place where the events will take place. This concerns the Florida Symphony Orchestra from Orlando, the Hyatt Regency Hotel.. Mayor Ferre: If somebody wishes to make a different motion, I'd be happy to accept it. My motion, again, is that we would establish a $5,000 fund provided it is matched by I'letro and $5,000 from the private sector some- place. 1 think it is a I;reat thing for Miami. It's great for the Knight Center, but we cannot assume a full burden on this. Mr. Carollo: Mr. Vice Mayor, there is a motion. There is a second. Mayor Ferre: I made the motion and Carollo seconded it. Mr. Perez: Carollo seconded? Call the roll. The following motion was introduced by Mayor Ferre, who moved its adoption. MOTION 84-353 A MOTION AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO ALLOCATE AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $5,000 AS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE CHOPIN FOUNDATION FOR CONCERTS TO BE HELD AT THE. MIAMI CONVENTION CENTER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT THEY MUST OBTAIN A-N EQUAI. GRANT OF $5,000 FROM METROPOLITAN DADE COUNTY AND THEY SHOULD RAISE $5,000 FROM THE PRIVATE- SECTOR; FURTIIF.R STIPULATING THAT THIS GRANT IS 1IADE SUBJECT TO TIiL EVENT BEING HELD IN MIAMI, !"ND FURTHER, THAT IF ANY PROFITS ARE LEFT OVER AFTER Ti1E EVENT, A PROPORTIONATE SHARE BE RETURNED TO THE CITY OF MIAMI; AND FII'ALLY STIPULATING THAT THEIR OPERATING BUDGET BE SUBJECT TO A,N AUDIT BY A C.P.A.

Plununer, Jr. Vice Mayor Demetrio Perez, Jr. Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. ABSENT: None, APR 51984 0B sl i Mayor Ferre: There is one other condition that I forgot to put in, I'm sorry. If you make any profit, and there is any cash flow that is left over, we want, number one, 11r. 1-1anager, since this _s being; sent to you for cons l_derat=ion, rae t•7,int:: a fall_ accountfnF from a recognized C.P.A. firm of your clioi.ce, and if there is anv money )_eft: over., after the competition, x•*e woul_d tram oiir pr(1port i.onate share of the $I -'),000.

TO REPAY FUNDS LEFT OVI-R FROM EVENTS TO THE CITY ON A MONTHLY BASIS TO THE END OF FY-84 WITH INTEREST. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mayor Ferre: On that same subject, my next item is Steve Parsons of P.A.C.E., who has happy news. We did the same thing with P.A.C.E., who presented the Big Orange Festival. As you know it was a great success. We gave them some money conditional that if you made any money, he would return it to us. As I recall, we gave you $50,000 and you have $24,000 to return. Mr. Steve Parsons: A bit more than that. We are real pleased to report that thanks to your loan, at the Commission meeting of.... Mayor Ferre: J.L. , this was your- idea. Mr. Parsons: I'm pleased to report that we are able to pay back just slightly shy of. $28,000 back to the City of Miami for the production of the Miami Music and heritage Fair. Mayor Ferre: Out of how much? Mr. Parsons: Out of $55,000. Mr. Plummer: Congratulations! Mr. Parsons: I do have one additional request on this. Mr. Plummer: Where is the check? Mr. Parsons: That's what I'm here for, Mr. Plummer. We would like to request, because of our severly hampered cash flow, which is usually the story around this time of the year, that we extend, that we will pay the money back, but we would prefer, with your permission, to pay that back by the end of the City of Miami's fiscal year, ending in September. Mr. Plummer: ,'hat kind of interest? Mr. Parsons: Zero interest prefered. Mr. Gary: Did they give us the money back? Mr. Plummer: They'ru going to give it back to us at the end of the fiscal year. Mr. Parsons: Monthly payments, May June, July, August, and September. Mr. Gary: That's better than nothing. Mr. Dawkins: Are you going to put it in the bank and draw interest? Mr. Parsons: It's not in the bank. If we were going to pay it back, we'd have to take out a bank loan and pay it back by the 12th. Mr. Dawkins: Do you havetit in the bank drawing interest? Mr. Parsons: No way! � APR 51984 sl Mr. Dawkins: Where do you have it then? Mr. Parsons: Tt's been spent already. The accounting, after the program, showed that we coiil.d Pay back to the City $27,958. We could take out a loan and pay the city back. We would prefer. to pay it back on a. monthly basis, based on nur us,.�al rash flow, that use have, but we surely are not sitting on S28,000 drnT.-_i_nn _i..ni_erFsi. in the bank. Mr. Dawkins: tk?el 1. the 11,1 T- will make that_ dec i si_nn. Mayor. Ferre: t.11iat do you want to do, J.I.. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, I think that c.;e are entitled to some interest. If they want to use our. money, I. think we are entitled. Mayor Ferre: I think that is fair, Steve. You know, it's our money. You are going to return it. We are very grateful that you are doing that. But even if it is a token amount, even if you pay 5% or 6%, you ought to be paying something; at least when we have to borrow money from on these bond issues, we're paying 7, so you ought to pay.... Mr. Plummer: I think it is only fair. Mayor Ferre: Pay five or six per cent. Mr. Parsons: Whatever the wish of this Commission is. Mayor Ferre: Is that acceptable to you, Plummer? Mr. Plummer: So move it. Mr. Dawkins: Second. Mr. Gary: Are they going to pay interest? Mr. Plummer: Yes. Mayor Ferre: Further discussion? Call the roll. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Plummer, who moved its adoption. MOTION 84-354 A MOTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO PERMIT REPRESENTATIVES OF P.A.C.E. TO REPAY FUNDS LEFT OVER FROM EVENTS ALREADY HELD BACK TO THE CITY OF MIAMI ON A MONTHLY BASIS TO TERMINATE AT THE END OF THE CITY'S CURRENT FISCAL YEAR (September 1984) WITH INTEREST.

REFER TO THE CITY MANAGER A REQUEST FOR THE PUBLISHERS OF HUGE MAGAZINE CONCERNTNG THE PITR,CHASE OF 1.0,000 COPIES OF SAID MAGAZINE WITH PART ICTPATtON FROM METROPOLTTAN DADE COUNTY AND OTHER CITIES. Mayor Ferre: The next item that I have, Piarjnrie, if you 1,01.11d ca th the gentlemen from Auge please, would you Lass those things up here? If you would bring them up to Comm.ssi_oner. Carollo, he'll Look at them and pass them down. Identify yourself for the record with name and address. Mr. Manager and members of the Commission, this outfit has successfully over the years made I don't know how many publications, but I understand that it is close to a hundred. Unidentified Speaker.: 33, sir. Mayor Ferre: I'm sorry, 33, where they make these copies, I mean they make these very beautiful magazine reports on communities, like for example, the State of California, Alaska, Mexico, Australia, and many, many other. plices. What they do is they come into a community and they get advertising. As I understand they are roi.ng to have six ads in this particular magazine. The rest of it t=hey do through articles, which they also charge for. It becomes a tremendous promotional tool... California rand other states have used it very effectively. They have gotten thc support: of business, community, includinf, Eastern Airlines, the l'ountainbleau Hotel and other such cornl>anies. But they have not-uttcn, unlike chat occured in California and other states and other countr:ics, they have not gotten the support of any of the governments here. 1;hnt the., are asking us to do, they are asking Miami, Miami Beach, and Dade County to purchase 10,000 copies of this for $75,000. Yesterday I met with Gene V.cstfall and with the people of Miami Beach. They are looking ;It. it. I. think the only way we could do it, Mr. Manager, is if Metropolit.-gin Dade County takes the lead, if Miami Beach also participates. So I would move that this matter be passed on to the manager for his pursual, and that: .in principle we approve it provided however, that Metropolitan Dade County and the State and Miami Beach all participate equally. Mr. Carollo: I would go one step further. I'm sure we can get some kind of contribution for this by Hialeah and Coral Gables. They are going to benefit as much as we are. Mayor Ferre: That has been a very difficult think. If you want to put that in, 1. don't mind accepting that as a condition. I. would put it this way, Mr. Manager, with regard to the Stale and Metro, that if they participate, we participate. I'm not as concerned with Miami Beach, Hialeah, and Coral Gables. I think we should invite them to participate. Mr. Carollo: Vtile couldn't do it without the State or Dade County. Mayor Ferre: That's right, and please understand. 1 know that's a difficult task, but we cannot assume this responsibility alone. Mr. Carollo: I think we should try in every way possible to encourage Healeah and Coral Gables to participate., but I won't put that down as a condition, however, only the. State: and Dade County. Mayor Ferre: Do you want to move it that way? Mr. Carollo: Yes. Mayor Ferre: Is there a second? Mr. Plummer: Wait a minute. I'm 'sorry. What is the...? Mayor Ferre: The motion is that we approve this principle, provided however, that the State and the County are no less than equal participants, and that we invite the participation of both Miami Beach and Hialeah. 09 APR 51984 61 il E Mr. Plummer: To what extent is the City of Miami getting involved? Mayor Ferre: That is up to the Manager to negotiate, but it would be no more than a third. Tt my opinion, It rfotild px-01-1,1b7y be around 25%. Mr. Dawkins: The only problem that T ;)avo. t�ri_t:h t.hat:, M .

Carp, the only problem I have with that is, when I go to them and ask them to give something to the City of Miami, t}1P_I1 they prorate the population of the City of Miami as to the population of Dade County and then they contribute accordingly. So as you waive the issues of what is fair proportionately, I hope you bring that into consideration, whatever our population is and that's what we.... Mayor Ferre: I accept that as a premise in the resolution. Mr. Dawkins: Thank. you, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferre: Further discussion? Who seconded the motion? Mr. Ralph Ongie: Nobody has, yet. Mayor Ferre: Dawkins seconds, further discussion? Unidentified Speaker: The only thing, Mr. Mayor, is that we are on a time basis now. Mayor Ferre: I'm awfully sorry.

JTM RAUSE, ENTERPRISE FOUNDATION, REGARDING FUNDS FOR I-IOUSINC FOR THE POOR REQUESTTNG THE AD711NISTRATTON TO ARRANGE TOURS OF I,ITTLF HATTT AND FAST LITTLE HAVA.NA DURTNG THE VISIT OF THESI: OFFTCTAL` Mayor Ferre: T have t_vo more item-,. One is I'd T ke to i.nfcrm the Commission, I sent you a memorandum of a follow I2p vi.si.t that I had with 1-1r. Franklin Thomas, the President of the Ford Foundation. The Ford Foundation has agreed to do something which they very, very rarely do. That is to have the chief program officers come to Miami. in May. That is no small. achievement. It is... they haven't done that in one city in the last ten years. Their attitude is that since they have billions of dollars which they ive out on a yearly basis, they expect for those who are applicants to go to the Ford Foundation to make their_ pitch. This is a reversal_ of that. That means that they are coming here to help us look at ourselves. Mr. ;tanager, I have written you and the Commission a memorandum on this. I think it is very important, since they will be looking at issues such as housing, employement, crime, teen-age pregnancy, and al-1 of the other things that the Ford Foundation gets involved in, that we through Crcatcr I'li.arni. United, give this ns much staff consideration as we possibly can.. I don't think you need a formal resolution, but I do think it is important that i,°hen the Ford Foundation arrives here two months from now, that we are prepared rind we have an agenda. Seconly, Mr. Rouse of the famous 1,Sr, Jim Rouse. not, retired from the Rause Company, but Mr. Rouse has formed a separate company. It's called the enterprise company. It's wholly oviied by the Enterprise Foundation. The Enterprise Foundation is now beginning to give millions of dollars on a yearly basis for housing for the poor throughout a1Ilierica. They have about a dozen projects going from California to Boston to New Orleans, We need to also prepare for that. I'd like to asic Dena Spillman and Charlotte Gallogl.y to meet with me and to meet with the people of. Greater Aliami United because Mr. Rouse, when he comes down here., Charlotte, wants to specifically look at the possibilities of Little Havana and Little Haiti as a potential. for a profit making specialty center, which is what lie is specializing in. Completely separate from the idea of the foundation dealing; with housing, all the profit that he makes from his company goes into the foundation, 100`. It is then used in a multiplier for dousing; for pool- people. It is called Jubilee Housing. It's been fairly successful in about three cities. The Ford Foundation was very skeptical in the beginning;, but they are a big supporter of Rouse now. So Mr. Rouse will be here on Saturday, the 14th. I would hope that we could put together a...and I. see. Mr. Adams is here...that we could put together in the morning, perhaps, a little bit of a tour of what kind of housing we do here. Secondly_, in the afternoon, that we could take Mr. Rause by both Little Haiti and Little Havana to see if his company would have an,', interest in a for -profit venture and as you know, there are several people that have been toying; with that idea. I just wanted to put that on the record. 10. DISCUSSION ITEM REGAhDING RULING OF JUDGE JOE EATON IN WHICH HE STATED THAT CUBANS AND OTHEI, HISPANICS CANNOT 131'. CL!�SSIFII?D AS "AFFECTED PARTIES"; ALSO DISCUSSION OF 14I'�ORITY PROCURE-MENT; REQUESTING CITY ATTORNEY TO PRI?PARE LEGAL BRIEF SCHEDULED FOR DISCUSSION OIL APRIL 26th. Mayor Ferre: Lastly, to illy total amazement and my cone-rn, Judge Joe Eaton... Nestor, what did you do with my file? Judge Joe haton, who's a wonderful than and a great- human being and a great judge, cam, out with the most unbtlievahlt: ruling, w!iic'li 1 don't hays- bL-ftire mc, of Several weeks ago, l:hert- in cf 1 cC'L .,aid that Cubans end other Hispanics would not be classified as affected Iartie because the patterns of suffering of Cubans would perhaps be diffcr,�-_nt from Lvert though I understand the logic and agree with sonie of Lhe logic that there is a sl 11 APR 51984 Mayor Ferre (Con't): difference and there has to be a clear cut pattern of discrimination in each case, the matter, nevertheless, is extremely complicated. There is shock In the Hispanic community. Those that are organized deal with the issue such as Tom and the Mexican American Defense Fund, have Immediately t:nken this thing up with the NAACP legal defense Rend and others, and are either talking about jointly challenging Judge Eaton's ruling. Tt is a very- complex iss"n. T would like to ask our City Attorney formally to read the case and to give us hip best advice so that at the next Commission meeting. I don'ts --ant to wait until the next regular, but rather the next zoning meeting, which will be on the 26th of April, that we w:i11_ be prepared to openly discuss this. I would like to ask Mr. City Attorney, for you to invote the NAACP legal defense fund, the Mexican American legal defense fend, and LULAC, SALAD and the Cuban -American Law Association to participate in the discussion if they so desire, so that we can have an open discussion as to the implications of this .law suit could be. As I understand it, it could be devastating to Hispanic communities throughout the United States. I think it is an issue that we need to bring out in the open and we need to deal with it, since the Cite of Miami, along with Hialeah, has a very large Hispanic population, since there is an affected class here, I think we need to deal with that. On the other hand, I. also think that we have another difficult task before us. Obviously, I'm not going to win any popularity contest on this one, but...Huh? Yes, I never worry too much about that. But there is another matter that also needs to be discussed. We have, Mr. City Attorney, a clear- record now on the City of Miami dealing with minority procurement and with contracts. What has occured, as you may remember, the law that we drafted which you have an amendment of to be voted on today, basically was a 507 minority procurement of which there was 25% ear marked for the Hispanic and 25A for the Black. In the construction area, what has occurred in my opinion is 501. Mr. Plummer: But it is not 25% and 25%. Mr. Gary: No, it is 25 and 25%. Mayor Ferre: That is the issue I want to bring up. See, because what has happened is that there are an awful lot of Hispanic contractors and business people that have done quite well by our minority procurement, but it has not really dealt into the issue of those who were really the ones that are the subjects of discrimination, which are Black. I.want to bring up the subject. I think it needs to be done in conjunction with Judge Eaton's ruling, that if, and perhaps we may need to be the City that begins this process, that when there is a specifically affected class, like Blacks, that when we talk about doing things to make up for the discrimination, that we specifically earmark the class that is affected, and the reason for that is that because I have heard from different constitutional and legal circles, that when we get to the appellate court and when we get to the Supreme Court if we get there, we're going to be knocked out, because what we're doing is by lumping everybody together, there is no ... unless there is a clear case prooven case of discrimination, what we are in effect doing is not solving the problem of the affected class, which are the people who suffer discrimination. I don't think there is any question that Blacks have suffered discrimination in Miami Florida. I think by putting these two things together, we may be affecting that and we need to deal with the other side of that issue too. So, Mr. City Attorney, 1 would like for you to prepare a legal brief on both sides of that issue. I would'like to schedule it, Mr. Manager, for a full fledged Commission discussion on the 26th and then I think we need beyond that perhaps to have a public hearing before we take a position on it. Mr. Dawkins: Udder discussion her. Mayor. I agree with you totally and I don't understand why we have not picked up the ball from the County. The County has an ordinance that they took and its been taken to two courts and I imagine that the builders will eventually go to the Supreme Court, but it has be upheld. And all of the information in that case was presented for documentation by a Tory Crapp of the City of Miami that proved discrimination. And we have yet to say let's structure our along the lines of one that has been tested and proven in court. Mayor Ferre: Alright, any other statements or question on this issue? Q 12 APR 51984 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. MOTION OF INTENT TO MAKE FIRE STATION NO. 13 AVAILABLE TO THE BLACK ARCHIVES FENDING NEGOTTATTONS OF A CONTRACT, ETC. Mayor Ferre: The last item that I have is Mr.. Garth Reeves. Mr. Reeves? As I recall. Mr. Manager_, we at one time talked about. the Black Archives receiving----- since as you may recall we ua.ve one of our fire stations to the Cuban Musuem. We also felt that it would be appropriate to when the r_equestion was made of the Black Archives to grant them the same thing. At first: they turned it down and now they have reconsidered and Mr. Reeves is here to speak on that subject. Mr. Garth Reeves: Thank you, Mr. Mayor_ and Commissioner. Our Board did reconsider and we thought we were looki.ng a gift horse in the mouth. Anyhow we have changed our position and we accept your gift of Fire Station No. 13 at Northeast 2nd Avenue and 47th Street and thank you very much. I have the resolution. Mayor Ferre: (AT THIS POINT THE MAYOR READS THE RESOLUTION INTO THE RECORD). Mr. Plummer: Well, Mr. Mayor, I second the motion, but it's not that simple a situation. I think Garth in fairness to you as to others that is not what you really want and need. That is what I read is a motion of intent. In other words, what I'm really saying is you have got to sit down and formulate a contract with the City such things as you shall maintain in a reasonable mannfr. That it is not your property it is still City owned property. You shall have insurance to indemnify the City against any lawsuits of liability. I think the same contract that was prepared for the Cuban Museum is only fair that it should be applied to you. Mr. Gary: That was profit. (COW -ENT INAUDIBLE) . Mr. Plummer: ;,Jell, O};. But what I'm saying is I don't want Garth to walk away from here and thin]: it's signed, sealed and delivered and he gets the key tomorrow morning, because I want to tell you, I drove by that thing yesterday and I want to tell you, you have got to spend a lot of money to fir, that thing up. Because I looked at it.... It's atrocious. It's almost as bad as station four on Miami Avenue, the prestigious area of this community that is now a home for wayward derelicts. And I don't know if you have gone in there. Mr. Gary? Mr. Gary: No, I don't go there. Mr. Plummer: No, I know you don't go there. Mr. Reeves: Most of our sections look like that Mr. Plummer. Mr. Plummer: Well, that might be your fault, but the fire station is mine. I say mine collectively. Mr. Dawkins: No, no, r;o, you say it individually. But Mr. Plummer Mr. Reeves and those, they understand that this is predicated on the same grounds that it wus giver, to anyone else and we also know that We have to go Liz=c). to ever, one of the Black contractors, that is the painter, the guy ta)io is going to do the tile work and all those guys who said they 4aould donate their services free, we still have to go back and get t'r«m to come in and do it. Mr. Plummer: Great. Mayor Ferre: Garth, while we have you here. There has been a... as you know we are now advertising and we advertise in the... for the potential of gett.i1-19 a new Qity Attorney beyond June. We have advertised or we are going to advertise in the Herald, in your paper, in the News and the Diario. We also advertised in the hell Street Journal and I think the New York Times. Isn't that right? gl 13 APR 5 1984 E u Mr. Ongie: New York Times and the Washington Post. Mayor Ferre: Oh, and the Washington Post. Ok. Now, there was a request from a newspaper up in Nely: York called the "Amsterdam News" and they say they are the larger=t: circulation i31ack ne�.,7spaper. My feeli.nq on that is that T dnn' t thi nr lwre should do that, because if we start adveri.i.sinq in New Yorlc then why not qo t_o Clti.cago and Los Angeles and U=ha.i� have you, bizt T know you may have a conflict in here since you are a member of the association and all. that. But I think the alternative to that is to advertise in law journals and we have asked that.., there are several law -journals that_ are Florida based. We have got the Miami Review. I think we have advertised there. And isn't there another Florida law journal of some sort? Mr. Ongie: We did everything that was recommended in the memorandum. Most of the law journals that were furnished to us by the Law Department, unfortunately, published like once a month or something and we were unable to meet any of their deadlines. Mayor Ferre: I see. Well,... Mr. Ongie: With the constraint of the April 16th deadline. That was the problem. Mayor Ferre: What are the law journals that we should advertise in Mr. City Attorney? Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: We recommended Mr. Mayor, the Florida Bar News and the Florida Bar Journal. Mayor Ferre: Well, if we can get an ad in there, even if it's late I think it would ---since the thing is probably going to drag on through May, I think it still would be worth doing. I have asked if there is any Hispanic or Black law journals, Mr. City Attorney, and other than the University of Puerto Rico which I don't frankly think would be appropriate, there are no Hispanic law Journals, but there is a Black law journal I think that Howard University puts out and I think that's where we should be advertising if we are trying to... Mr. Plummer: Rr. Mayor, let me ask may be out of stupidity. Mr. City Attorney, I'm assuming we cannot consider anybody that is not admitted to the Florida Bar. Mayor Ferre: Of course. Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: That's correct. Mayor Ferre: But I might remind you that there are an awful lot of Cuban Amercan attorneys that have gone for example, from Miami and who are members of the Florida Bar that are now in the Reagan Administration or in the Goverranent and that might want to be considered. So, you know, it doesn't... Mr. Reeve:.: Mr. t,ayor, I might call your attention too, that there thirteen Black new papers throughout the State of r._ 'a. They might be gcK)d media to use and speaking of the Miami Times, you get very good cover. The Miami Times is the third largest Black audited circulation in the Country. Mayor Ferre: Oh, is that right? Mr. Reeves: Yes, it is. Mayor Ferre: So, it isn't the Amsterdam News like they claim. Mr. Reeves: They are not audited. It' a difference. Yes. Mayor Ferre: Alright, sir, ln'ell, I would just advise Mr. City Clerk that even ti,ouglh late we should zcdvtrtise in the Florida Law Journal or whatever it's called ar,d •1 th, nj: tt,at if the City Attorney can come up w1 ili a lli spa7,l c cr hl aCk l c'w p iii J,al . . . 1 don't think an Hispanic one exist out 'idu (_f ine Uhi%,c22"c:i Ly -,f PuErtc) Lilco. gl APR 51984 IL Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: I'm not aware of one Mr. Mayor, but the Cuban American Bar Association does pelt out a newsletter. Mayor Ferre: well, then I think we should advertise in it and I think we should aclveri=i pe--- i f th-r- i s i }Slack counterpart, if not I think in the iio-ard Univer i t_y l a- journal or whatever it is. Would you have your staff z_"eF-earc.h tha'=< Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: Yes, sir. Mayor Ferre: And Mr. Clerk, do you need a resolution to that effect? Mr. Ongi.e: tdo, sir, will just assume that the deadline will not be the 16th then. Is that correct? Mayor Ferre: Doe- anybody have any objections to that so that nobody can claim that we didn't have advertised and we didn't go out and reach as far as 4:e could. We have and I'm sorry that we kept you waiting. We have had... Mr. Reeves: Did you take my vote Mr. Mayor? Mr. Ongie: We need to vote on Mr.... Mayor Ferre: Oh, I'm sorry. Call the roll. I'm sorry.

Mayor Ferre: is Mr. Woodnick still. here. Mr. Wodnick? Mr. Woodnick, did Mr. have to leave? Members of the Commission the State of Florida six or seven years ago passed a law which is called the Racketeering and... Joe, tell me what it is. Mr. Joe Woodnick: Rico Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act. Mayor Ferre: The City of Orlando has used the Rico Bill in conjunction between the City's Police Dcpart.mcnt, thc: County Police Department and the State At:torney's Office to close out all the porno hall and the porno theatres and t.lie shops in Orlando and it was in a very successful. pl"oce s . So, we are I")Ot Leing pioneurs in this. There is a legal process. I'} erc, w_s recently a meeting ir, Hollywood to deal with that iEsut and our one of our City At.t.orney's... Mr. Garcia - Pedrosa, what.': his name? Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: Leon Furtell, who is here Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferre: }?r. Purtell attended that. I would like to have a comment from our City Attorney as to whether he thinks that what Orlando did was I)rol,t:r and whether it meets with the Rico and whether that the City of 1.1iGmi should do like Orlando did. Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: May I ask Assistant City Attorney Leon Furtell, who went to t},at meeting Nir. Mayor, and who has beer) in close contact 91 APR 51984 with Mr. Woodneck to address that point. Mayor Ferre: Alright, Mr. Furtell. Mr. Furtell: Yes, Mr. Mayor, the matters that were addressed at that meeting were matters that are specifically authorired by Statute. Certainly there is no I,r(-,1,11ib t= .oT> igai.nst the City of. Miami Joining force and proceedi.nq in this area. - Mayor Ferre: Do you think tliat it offers an opportunity for us to achieve something that this Commission has long been. pursuing? I hate to bring up Grace Rockafel-lar's name, Imt- certainly she and other members of the Northeast- Association leadership in the Black community and other have been trying diligently to work on this whole question of pornography and prostitution and other_ vice issues. Mr. Furtell: Certainly it does Mayor, presents an opportunity, but it does need a coordinated effort. 17. A RESOLUTION URGING STATE ATTORNEY, JANET RENO, TO PROSECUTE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BEEN DFTF_!VIPIED TO DEAL ON OBSCENE MATERIALS ----------------------------------- Mayor Ferre: Right. I therefore, would like to move that the City of Miami go on record of wishing to follow the example of the City of Orlando in using the Rico Statutes for the purposes of dealing with this part of the vice picture in Miami and that we request that the State Attorney's Office and that Metropolitan Dade County join us in doing a similar project to what was done in Orlando with the cooperation of the State Attorney. The City of Miami. Police Department cannot do this alone. It must be in conjunction with the State Attorney's Office and with the Metropolitan Police. So, it has to be a joint effort and I would like to move that we, number one, do this, the City of Mliami, and number two, request the State Attorney and Metro to cooperate with us. Mr. Joe Woodnic):: Mr. Mayor, you just took my whole talk away from me. A resolution is attached to the structure of the....

DISCUSSION AND TEMPORARY DEFERRAL OF PROPOSED ACCEPTANCE OF BID FOR VEHICLES AND OTHER MATERTAT.,S FOR THE DEPARTPIFNT OF BUILDING AND VEHICLE MAINTFtaANCr. (See later, same meeting) Mr. Carollo: ri_. Mayor, I have an item here 98 in the Consent Aqenda that the individuals, if they haven't left already... I have to catch a plane in the afternoon and I would like to bring it up now. If the people from Midway Ford are still here... Go ahead, sir. Mr. Carlos Planas: Good morning. My name is Carlos Planas. I am manager from Metro Ford and with me I brought two gentlemen, one from Detroit from Ford Motor. Company and Mr. _ I would like to bring both with me right now, is the technical advisor for Ford Motor Company in the fleet and leasing office out of Detroit and also, Mr. Jack McCormick, a fleet manager out of the Jacksonville District. Will you please too, also come. The reason I come over here and I would like to indulge in a few minutes with you, is because of the recent award that is going to be discussed today, and prior to this award I would like to bring certain details to your attention. Mr. Plummer: W'h at award, sir? Mr. Planas: Bid awards. Mr. Carollo: Item 98, J. L. Mr. Plummer: Item 98? Mr. Planas: Yes. And I do believe that it is very important for us to discuss it, because there is certain things that are attached to that award that I think that are not justifiable. Ok. Number one, first I came here to the Commission for three specific reasons. One, to contest the award recommendation on bid #83-6431 of approximately hundred forty-ni_nc vehicles. Number two, is to show discrepancies in your bid and award procedures by the Purchasing Office in pertaining to this bid, and number three, to ask the City Commission to reverse the recommendation of the Purchasing Offices based on the facts that we will show today. Mr. Plummer: Excuse me, Mr. Gary, this is being taken out of the regular agenda. Are people of the Purchasing Department and Building and Maintenance all people involved, are they present? Mr. Gary: No. Mr. Planas: Commissioner, if I may, I have this discussed and we have called them and we talked to Mr. Mullins saying that we were going to be here in presence and Ford Motor Company have sent these two gentlemen, one from Detroit and one from Jacksonville and we told them that we will be here in presence and we will go and contest the award. Mr. PlumlFter: I fully under::t:ar1d wj,F:t you arc saying, sir, but your Item 9E3 which wertto be e-xl>ected to be taken up in the afternoon. Now, all. I'm ;saying to you is lct'S gc-t the people who are involved present so we don't. have to go t11rougl, this twice.. That's all I'm saying to you. I have i,o prol_)lem with you going now if the people involved are here. Mr. Gary: We have them here now. Mr. Plummer: They are all here, fine, proceed. Mr. Carollo: Ok, Mr. Mullins is here. Who else do we need from the Motor Pool? Do we need..: Mr. Plummer: Ron Williams is here. I see Ron Williams. gl 21 APR 51984 Mr. Planas: May I? Mr. Plummer: Proceed. Mr. Planas: Thank you, Commissioner. Ok. First of all let me go on and put into perspective a copy of items. Number one, of approximately a hundred automobile dealers and truck dealers that we have in the City of Miami_ and Dade County only three local dealers choice to bid on this bid. That's number one. Number two,... Mr. Plummer: Wall, why is that? Mr. Planas: Why is that? Because the manner that the Purchasing Department go on bid. None of the dealers... I used to work for Ford Motor_ Company. I just left them this year and one of the reasons that we went out: and my ex -employee with me, well, we say exactly the same thing. A lot of dealers do not want to yid because of the procedures of the City of Miami. Let's discuss now the City of Miami in bidding and I will show you why. Mr. Dawkins: What are the procedures, sir.? Mr. Planas: And the procedures is that, number one, they might choose the State bid. Number two they might choose again, the Dade County bid. Number three they might throw the bid out because of minor discrepancies even if the award that was won--- and I will show you that ford Motor Company won this bid by a substantial amount of money. The discrepancy was very low in anything, just may be because of some type of clamps that were not according to the specification that was bidded on and we were trying to have change this for sometime ago now and then. All of sudden they gave up. Mr. Dawkins: Ok, as a layman, sir, why wouldn't it be to the City of Miami's advantage or even the County's advantage to have use a bid that had been arrived at by the State of Florida, which would mean that the State of Florida, the City of Miami and Dade County would be buying in a volume and it would therefore, possibly get a better deal? Mr. Planas: Ok. I will show you. If I may continue I would like to expose all of this and I will show you why. Ok, talking about... I talked to you about the hundred dealers. Number two, we have been pushing in the City of Miami for minority representation and participation in this area as is stated in the award bidding, the authorization to purchase order that says "minority participation. I says bid invitations were sent to five Hispanic firms that have indicated the ability to supply automotive goods and equipments as per their bidder application and previous bids. No Black minority firm have indicated their engagement in the capacity. One Hispanic business, Metro Ford, which I represent submitted a bid, but is not recommended due to either failure to meet specifications or the existing and following bids in which I will say that is not true. number two, also is that even also in the minority representation, the City of Miami, along also with Dade County has been pushing to award bids to all the businesses that do business in this area. Let's have business remaining in this area. NuuLur three, even if the business conuYiunit_y trying to Have local business to this business we are going to prove to you that almost ninety-five percent of the bids awarded in this type of bi.a were awarded to dealers outside this area, Iliost)y in Daytona Beach and Pensacola and by the way, none of them have issued the minority program Saying )"w no"y minorities have been in those agi_Iicics awarded. Lion wurE. awarded on the basis also, like I was LayiIig if a :Mate bier was lower Ly an iigf Ley for example, wr are going to slice\-: according to the bit; specification and to recommendation that: they use either state Was or County bids. I will tell you why 0 ilia reason Connin i_oner uawLin , wily that is in contrary ro any of the dealels in 1eL%idding 6gain, roil a bid company like Fold Moray Couyaiq, Clays!"r, GM and : uch go Ior a State bid the,`,,' will awald ni Will give Pll iu I uLuy to any dealers that are bidding thr '.;taiw lei« Incauzu it's: a ldyar amount of unit=. In otherwise-: thuii inecon will iucry .Eu 1 (Ah foe Om YGyd Marcy Company and they could Luild mC>rc allot unt uiAtL, SCE, there is an incentive for the major conVanies to give spacial rtd actions to those dealers. However, a dealer can will that Lid . , the winner could he located in Tallahassee. That award for t1a Etatu Lid was awarded back in gl 22 APR 51984 4 October of last year. Let's say now and the award is on a one year basis. Let's say now that the bid is awarded now in February. well, the company both GM, Chrysler and.Ford Motor Company, American Motors, everyone of them because of the log,- amount of vehicles and it is not a State vehicle will. not: award the same type of to the local dealers that are that are bidding fnr this new bi(l. 5o, what we have is that if the,, dealers 1:no;.,-i.ncr t:hi.s ITI(l they cannot qet exact same amount they w3.1.1 be nut_ bidded by the (1eal-r:s that_-- Tx -,on the State bid. So, what happen is that some de,)Ic rs in the local. area do not get any bonefi.ts of bidding in the State b-id or any other bi.q or Dade County bids mainly because i.t is too costly for them to qo and win bids either for Tallahassee because they have to go all over the State of Florida. So, the award pr_oceeder is completely neglecting the deals in the South Florida area. I'm also going to prove that even that in one item in which I will bring to your attention that was Item #1 in which it was for a minimum of eighty-seven vehicles, pursuit vehicles in which the specification... according to the bid specification, we met all the requirements and we bid and Ford Motor Company, Metro Ford was lower by almost eight hundred dollars. The bid was awarded to another dealer in Daytona Beach. Mr. Dawkins: By the name of what? Mr. Planas: The name. Ok. We bid under Metro Ford. Mr. Dawkins: And Friendly Ford. The only two local bidders were Metro and Friendly Ford, right? Mr. Planas: And Friendly Ford, correct. Mr. Dawkins: Ok. Mr. Planas: Now, let me... I will guess this is Item #1. Ok. In the Item #1, sir, in the item for eighty-four or more intermedia size police pursuit vehicles Metro Ford had bidded eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars. Jim Peacock Dodge outside of South Florida, outside the City of Miami... Mr. Dawkins: Peacock Dodge. Mr. Planas: Peacock Dodge, in Daytona Beach, again not fullfilling any of the requirements that we like to have, number one, for minorities and number two for businesses in Miami, bid nine thousand six hundred eighty-three dollars with twenty cents that is almost eight hundred dollars above Ford Motor Company bid or our bid. There were two discrepancies and two exceptions we took notice to, but I would like to put that into attention. That's why the engineers from Ford is here today. Number one, they have mentioned that Ford Motor Company would not provide silicone radiator loses, and number two, really were stainless steel clamps. Mr. Dawkins; For what, to hold the hoses? Mr. Planas: For the ho: That's right. We are going to prove to and we have had and I'm going to show you. The Michigan Department of the State Police and the Michigan Department of Management and Budget has given us the specification and evaluation of their purchasing program and it's going to show that Ford Motor Company vehicles will hold touch longer and will give you a bettea_ performance than the one that's been awards=d over eight hui,dred dollars more. Mr. Dawkins: You don't ni-ed to ::how Me that. The City of Miami needs to show me that thu one they bought is better. (BACKGROUND C0I'A:1_'1<`1'S II:1:UD1i:` ) . Mr. Planas: 2_xeusu Iae, I want... you see, I tried to show them that and they are going to contest that. Mr. Dawkins: I'm tell you what they will have to show me. s s Mr. Planas: Ok. 23 APR 51984 gl 4 4 Mr. Dawkins: See you don't have to show me yours is better, they are going to have to show me where they one they are purchasing is better. Mr. Planar: One of the things also is that-: with t}le amount: of savi.ngs... let me tell yoti also ,7i th the amount: of .�avi.nc�s n t h, dtar at.i_on of the period that .% used the pur!�:uit not only you Will be aide to be saving over --i-ality dollars, almost eighty thousand dollars on the purchase of almost t_en additional vehicles, if the award was reversed, but in addi.t.ion to that the City of Miami will be saving six hundred .fifty thousand dollars in fuel economy with a better performance vehicle. Mr. Dawkins: Dix hundred and what? Mr. Planas: lend fifty thousand collars in savings. Mr. Dawkins: You can prove that? Mr. Planas: Yes, sir, we can prove it. Mr. Dawkins: This is over the life of the vehicle? Mr. Planas: In the life of the vehicles, that is we are talking about a hundred thousand miles. That's almost the duration of pursuit vehicle. A hundred thousand miles per vehicle. Now, we are talking about the hones and the stainless steel clamps. Even now we went ahead and requested from Ford Motor.- Company that if they could be available at thi_r= time Ford Motor Company has come dolor and they are going to advise you. Ford Motor Company will even be able to supply those cl-tnp:_. Of. course, it's qoing to cost a little bit more money. It's aoi.,i,a_ t_o co:_t approximately a little over two hundred dollars, but even tl,at you are going to still be saving over six hundred dollars, in addition to the six hundred fifty thousand dollars in savings and fuel economy. So, if you want the cake and eat it too, you can have it now because Ford Motor Company said yes. If there is any question I would l.l:c to bring the tecnical advisor for. Ford Motor Company and also the fleet manager for Ford Company out of the Jacksonville district. Let me say rl::>o this, California and also among other states have purchased over three thousand vehicles of this kind, over three thousand vehicles. At the same time not a single state or a single city have said anything about our hoses, as a matter of fact he is going to prove that they last longer. So, I would like to... Mayor Ferre: Alright, Mr. Manager. Mr. Gary: ri.rst of all I would like to respond to the first issue and I think that Commissioner Dawkins ably responded to it and that is the City's options to utilize various contracts is to the interest of the taxpayers if the City of Miami. gets the lowest price. As an example, we recognize and the State passed a law as well as the City Commission and the County Commission agreeing to that law and that is that is saves taxpayers money if a number of large governmental entities can agree to buy in vol.utry . It also saves us money in that we save staff time in terms of preparing all the bid specifications and doing all the other administrative work associated with it. Thirdly, I would like to say that in to ens of Ford Rotor Comb -zany or, any other company it appears that they on one hand Like it when they win up in Tallahassee, but it seems as thought they tt,ay want. to double. dip by coming down here and not allowing us to utilize the Tallahassee. contract. and all I can say to you is that we have done it on numverous occasions. We have saved money and I would like for them to address the specifica`-ions aspect. Mr. Planas: If I may have a rebuttal, Mr. Gary. Mr. Gary: No, wait until we finish and then you can respond. Mr. Ron Williams: My name is Ron Williams, Assistant Director of the Department of building and \'Chicle Maintenance and I would like to add for the record that I have had no contact with these gentlemen. We have not discussed this ill ally wa). As a n stir of fact 1 an, surprised to see them }here contesting Out- X ec'OTIubeliaatiol: to you. 4 Mr. Plummer: Also, on the record to your knowledge has anyone in your department had a request to meet with these people? Mr. Williams: Tint to my knowledge. Mr. Plummer: find Mr, Mit11_lin^ has there been any request from these people t_o meet with yciur c1-p rt.:m-nt:' Let the record reflect that Mr. Mullins is indicating by t11- shaking of his head it is a negative answer. Proceo:!. Mr. Planas: I have also Aar_. Dick Callahan. Mr. Mullins, have you had any words with Mr. Di-c?c Callahan, my representative and also with your assistant Ms. Johnson to this fact that we were going to protest this bid? Mr. Plummer: Air. Mullins, I would appreciate it if you would come to the microphone and indicate. Mr. Art Mullins: I'm Art Mullins in case anybody doesn't know. My contract specialist Diane Johnson advised me that Mr. Callahan advised her that he was unhappy with the recommendation that was being made on some of the cars and which lie didn't have any details and it wasn't pursued. Mr. Plummer: Did they indicate in that conversation that they were coming here to protest? Mr. Mullin,: Not to my knowledge. Mr. Pl=,-nel:: Did they indicate in that conversation that they felt the bidding procedures were not proper? Mr. Mullins: Not to my knowledge. Mr. Plummer: In that conversation did they have a request of you to meet with you about the problem? Mr. Mullins: No, sir. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Williams, go ahead sir, I just wanted to get that on the record. Mr. Williams: To begin with I would just like to go over in very general terms the method by which we analyze the requirements for vehicles. I might add that, that includes the users in this particular case as I understand they are your concern. We are talking about the Police Department. It should be noted that we i.ndentified particular specifications that are required for use by the Police Depar`iiient when we are talking about: patrol vehi.cle.-�;. Those particular requirements i.e.: specifications were sent out in formal hid mr{nnc>r as wc, do all formal bids, those specifications were very clear. In those cases where they are not clear w,: mal.e an atten-Ipt to. clarify those for potential bjdder;s, potential vender_;, potent.i.al providers. In this particular cuse wc_ dicl not under:;taiid th"t the: -re were F'roLlems with the specific-tic.ns . tde did not undo rr- tared that they w� re not clear. We did riot ul"iderst;:Jld t1lat sci111t:-01111_ had an additional or an alternate product to provide to u,... wht-n the bids were received we analyzed them and cone--,1rt:d them to the :-1,ecifications as submitted. In those cases where th(. sul)mittcd 1_,id did not meet specifications, we could not reconhnend t_siat vt-ndor to you. Mr. Dawkins: lllid the Lid ask for stainless steel clamps and the specific I1osc that tl,ey art- speaking of, sir? Mr. VilliLm!,: �c-s sir, it did. (BACKGROUND CGt;,11,1 I`111fD11,1.,I�) . Mr. Wi 111 ems : If ;,oL%,our d l i9;c I can go through all of the items by which tl,t }' <j(1 71(: i. 7?icici 51=mac jTiCatl01,5. One of the items and as far as we aii; cuj,Lui1,cC li:c 11-1zt critical item is their bid... our bid called for U 1_,ucl.et seat ar,d they provided a berich seat. As you well know that Is a ver\' int c ytalit qi s c1-tl?a1,cy as far as we are concerned because of the eQuiplilcl',t tliat'S 1'eC111irCd i1i that police unit. 26 gl Al-R 519E4 0 r] The second area was they bid a separate tire, a different tire from that required in sreci.ficati-on. We have talked about the hoses and the clamps and we requi-red heavy duty vinyl trim and the seat covering and they did not meet rper_.i-fication in that: area either.. Mar. Plana : nk, let me respond to this. T don't want to go and argue back and forth. T lilrt: wanted to ma};e sure that I brina to record that the City of Miami. can be saving almost eight hundred thousand dollars in this. We are talking about the Cl-ty of Miami going out and trying to sa.y that VM did .Jot bid according to the specification and neither time... for oxampie, we are going to prove that is completely erroneous, because we have available the bucket seats and so forth. Mr. Plummer: But did you bid it that way? Mr. Planas: Yes, sir we bid... there is two ways that is to bid it. One called the split bench seat and which is also a bucket and also Ford Motor Company have seats. He have either one. We have told them yes that we have both. Regardless of: the fact if you want to go to even award it to the Dodge or not, I want to make sure that we make it positively clear. We have a vehicle than is matching all across the United States better performance than the car that you are going to award the bid to. In addition to you are going to be awarding a bid to an agency that is... you are going to cost: the City of Miami over eight thousand dollars more. That is what we want to bring to the subject. Our bi.d states that we will meet according to the pecifications and you are the one who wrote the specification on our car in the LTD. If you t::ant to go ahead, that would be fine with us. You know, Ford Motor Company is not going to go bankrupt anymore for eight hundred thousand dollars or eighty-four vehicles and we are talking about a savings over eight hundred thousand dollars for the City of Miami. In addition to that, if you decide to award the bid to an agency outside the City of Miami and also, that does not qualify for any of the type of minority participation, that will be again without approval. Again, I will leave the rest to the Commissioners and if you want any other technical information how our car performs versus the Chrysler car. We will be glad to, that why we have the engineers here. If you want any question according to see if we are going to over perform, here is the engineers gentlemen. Mr. Gary: Mr. Mayor? Mayor Ferre: We need to bring this to a head. So, what's... Mr. Manager and then I will let you have one last statement and then I will open... Mr. Gary: Well, first of all we recommend the bid, but I think it's important Mr. mayor for you to know two or three things. First of all we have a committee that's made up of users that identify their needs based on their operation. As all example, the Police Department needs certain types of vehicle , and certain equihmcwnt with tho�-e vel-licles, because they have to ust, them in cr�eryt_ncy situ�tic�n�>, btzt most importantly they } avc_ to ust: them on .i twenty-four hcur As an example, the r(-d hucl�et t cat i; for tht- mere fact that we have rclllovt:ci a lot of thi� ccInsldered discriminator , l ), tht, I'-.£',t- i�l,d wL 11OW }11Vk- : h01 t c,2 �urid some people are long alid �,olut 1-eo}_lt,, wh(` havt- use t}It' t <.r:; or, a tw,2nty-four hour basis, f( C-(A_ SGIIIEr ]I"-;%, 1"t- flvt, feet five. So, therefore, you };,:tt to eat_ ±.(,l that. Ir; addition to that we also );�.vc- thc. luobil� diclitul, you havt, to,u;akt- provisions is for that. `I'hv }:;id that we received iron t:n(---1), a2u not rl,cluclu bucket seats. NOW, Wliet-her they FrOvidt iliE1L OI' ]lot that's a different issue. The bidding, the biddir;g process has to be mair-,tained. We cannot allow thee; to change their bids after the fact, because it would not i,e fair to the other agencies, because then they cat come back and ci:7r,gc: their bid arid we will be in violation of the bidding. The third thing, Mr. Mayor, is we do have a problem with regard... Well, the third thin;g is we are not precluded from going outside: and getting the bst deal. It's not limited to the City of Mialid or Dade County. The fourth thing is with regard to the affirmative action requirement and you and I discussed this yesterday and that we have a problem with the State law, even though we have a local law that's gl I?F APR 51984 very very stringent and very very progressive and that is we have to take the lowest bid. Now, to the extent to which we can get the State to modify the inte?:'pretat.on of. that law to include most advantageous bid to inrl_,.?rJe our minority provisions, we are basically stuck with the lowest. hid.. Thal is a Stat.A l,-,t.: and it s??F,ersscles. all or our laws and as It 7:'elat:rS t:.o t:}ZF'm no?s rf C0MT1r>ndl?1Q ani' r'}in<7(S to thn })ids, You Can't do t.}1at.:. As t:}In1 asj,7,nq l?{ t:o Chanw-? nur p oco—'s, our t t option isa�>a1.Ja3,le to t:.rle C:).+-}.' to get thn lowest price. I don't recommend that and I don't thi.n}c any prudent business do it. Ford Motor Company sure doesn't do it and 1. G'rould suygest. the City Commission accept the bid as put before you. And finally, I would like to say that the use of the three thousand vehicles by other cities, Ford Motor Company, local Ford Companies nor other cities determine what we want our specs to be. They ma} have opinion which is their personal opinion that they have a better car and it's best for us, but our users and our experts have decided that the specs that we have developed is in the best interest of the City of Miami. Mr. Planas: If I do may say, I think the Mayor have told me to make a last comment, but I would like to have also these two gentlemen from Ford to make a comment to this. Let me say any of the variances that we had specified exceeds- any of the specifications that the City of Miami has specified. So, if we have put an}, variances is for the protection and for the better of this bid. In other words, our performance of the vehicle would last longer and there is proof, not only from us, is from other agencies that show that it's proof. It's going to save you on gas mileage. It's going to save you on resale value of the vehicles and it's going to save you over almost eight hundred dollars pea. vehicle purchase. And now I would like to give the floor if I may to Jack McCormick and to please Jack go ahead. Mr. Jack McCormick: Let me say that, that seat is a split bench seat, not a bench seat and a split bench seat means that they move individually like bucket seats and it's almost... if you look at it you couldn't tell the difference from a bucket seat. gl t� 27 APR 51984 27 APR 51984 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: If I might itrst sav onn KTnrtl. Nttrrmhor onA, of course we are not trying to double just anything. This is certai.nly your prerogative to buy off that State contract and we honor that rignt as cities 1n1 !:'ounties. We iin?"e tcl,_c j f.( com- (lossn I-,v Mr. P1anaS regardi.na tht� perform,?ncr- of ottr die?11Clns and t-Ile tbi.ee excep- tions, it i_,4 a st.ri.pped }.)ench. They move indej" nClently, so if one gentlemen iS f7_Ve f(DOt and the other. is SiX foot, i,}7 y can operate each seat i.ndep tide ntly. The other, I thin!:, i.•w•o items were the hose clamps and also the silicone hoses. Ours is a neopryne hose. It does the job. We haven't had any complaints tr_om of-ner enforcement aacncies across the nation, incluclina 7_,o.s Angeles - 400 units out in Cal-ifornia, just pushing 1-00,000 miles now and no failures. I auess our only intention is to give each City, County, State, as much vehicle for the money as we possibly can give them and be in line with your specifications. We recently did come up with silcone closes because some cities and counties have required them and they won't let a substitute be made and I thank Mr. Ioeff:ler that we just came to these like in February, so we do in fact have them available, but they are quite costly, li.Re over $100 for the set of hoses. Now if the neopryne hose does it, but you prefer the silicone, you don't mind the other $100, we do have it available. We are not trying to change your price, but to get that particular hose of course you would have to change your price. I9e are not asking you to do that. We just came to prove that we do have a fine performing vehicle, we have all of the test tract data, our vehicles vs. all competition, including the Dodge that you were referring to and we would like to leave it just for your own perusal. And any question you might have, Mr. Loeffler is our expert. from Dearborne in this area. Mr. Carollo: These two other areas that you stated to us that you do not meet the specifications by the bid, were the tires and the heavy duty all vinyl trim. - Mr. Planas: And the tires are bigger and they perform much better, for the better performance of the vehicle. And it is going to show again - if you see the tests, it is going to show that it is going to perform better. And it is cheaper. You are talking about a sub- stantial savings for the City and it is a backing for Ford Motor Companies. It is not just not a single engine. Let me also tell you, sir, Mr. Cool, sold that we have bidded - Mr. Callahan took it to him personally, and showed him exactly the vehicle that we were bidding. Mr. Gary: Mr. Mayor... Mayor Ferre: Yes, sir. Mr. Gary: Nobody is questioning the quality of Ford's products. The gentlemen has admitted that he has not bidded according to specs and that he unilaterally has decided what he thought was best for. the City of Miami. This gentlemen is not buying the cars for himself. The City of Miami is buying the cars for its use ar,,i he has decided what is in the best interests of the citizens of t'i ru, as relates to our utilizing those cars to provide services. Noti:, it %I11)cars th,=t he i al_so saying that he can't 1rovidu those, but the f�:ct of tilt matt(r is, legally he did not provide tiu ni.

Mr. Plana: l'!lEl \sC I t; ntlonud about those bucket seats and the hoses, we just told theut that Ford Xiotor Company had stated to us that they just became availabli, only because the City of Miami and maybe another city or two ?]:vr requested. The records show that the hoses and the clamps have lasted longer than any other car, again, just look- ing at the performance. That is all - Gentlemen, thank you. I hope that...we just wanted to get your attention about the savings that the City of Miami could get out of this. Thank you, Mayor. Id LIC APR 51984 0 Mayor Ferre: All right, thank you, sir. All right, Commissioner Carollo, you have another pocket item? Mr. Ca.r_oJ.lc Thank you, Mr. Mayor. What I would like to ask - I'd like to .st.uc' t.i,i s further - if I could request of these gentlemen if the c-o,_:lci put: they said here tcxlay and any additions in writ-i_nq and F—Tv, cod ies rf it to the ('n=.ii_ssi.on and to the City staff.

Commis- sioner Dawkins, I want for your. edi.fi.cation, T. vant yoi.i to know that Art Mullins is a. good friend of mine m}' next: door_ neighbor, but this thine_ is hitting on a subje(-t that T have been looking .into and gathering some i_riformati.or- The real problem here is in the bids, and how they are written. yoi_I will recall that: some years ago I brought to this Commissi.on's attention, and it is a problem that I would venture to say i..s costing this City millions of dollars - we the Commission, because the buck stops here, and the Administration - let me tell you one of the great flaws that was said in this presenta- tion - The Police Department is allowed in this particular case, to recommend anything they want in the type or vehicle they want. It doesn't make that it is right, or that it is wrong and I am not going to get into the technical arguments vlii.ch I can't, whether it is stainless steel, and this that and the other isn't necessary. Let me tell what is happened. Let me tell you what happened before, be- cause I don't think you have heard this story before. 1 had a friend of mine, who I did not even know was in the motorcycle business. He called me one day and he said, "you know, you insult my intelligence". I said "t;,'hy is that?" He said "I am in the motorcycle business and I receive an invitation to bid because your city is buying police motor- cycles, but I can't bid even though they sent it". I said - why? He said "Because they took the specifications out of the back of the Harley book, and I sell Kawasaki - there is no way". Let me give you another example, and this is some of the information that I am gather- ing. The City of Miami Police Department is allowed to designate what kind of uniforms they want - not necessarily what is needed, but what we are allowing to happen is they are deviated from a norm, which means that we are making a customized arrangement. I don't care what you are doing when you customize something - it costs a lot of money. Let me give you one prime example. Police uniforms come with a standard zipper., okay? Our Police Department requires ... what zipper do we require? It is either a black zipper, or some kind of a zipper. If you knew what I am gather- ing as a zipper man, what that item is costing this City because the City of Miami Police Department wants a black one instead of a silver one, which takes us out of the norm and puts us into customized, it is unbelievable! Mayor Ferre: Well... Mr. Plummer: Well, let me give you one prime example, because this is directly... Mayor Ferre: I am glad that we now have a new name for our distinguished colleague, J. L. Plummer, who is sometimes been known as Kojak, and he has had other names! Now, we have a new title for. him - Zipper Man! Mr. Plummer: That is better than the invisible Mayor! Let me give you a prime example - I wanted to buy a certain machine for my own private use. Mr. Dawkins: At a discount. Mr. Plummer: If I could, sure. Mayor Ferre: Is this a black zipper? Mr. Plummer: It is not a black zipper. I inquired as to where did the City buy that particular machine, because if possible, I would like to have the same thing in my home that I had in my office. I was informed that the "X" company is where the City purchased this machine. The price was, on the retail market, $1,795. I said, What 09 APR 51984 0 is the price of the so-called GSA, the State contract, or the County contract, and I was informed that it was S1,495, $300 less, so I went up and I looked at the machine, and I thouaht that that was a good machine for me and I asked ,r}rat: teas ±.he trice. The rlan tc,1d me $1,795. I said - No, no. the Price J a lot: lr s, TTe 5-za)cl 'v-q, if yo11 bought of; thr' GSA contraC't1_, ill- i-5 <1.,49:>. T said, - Is that the best contract? Tie said, t_t,at. i s nc:,` T.-hat you asked! I said what is the best price';' Tie said - the best price is $1,195. I said, You mean to tell me... Mayor Fer.re: 1,.195 ::for undertakers. Mr. Plummer: For undertakers! Mayor Ferre: And $1,495 for GSA and $1,795 for City Hall. Mr. Plummer.: That is right! If this City buys from that company, which we have done, because of a GSA contract, we have to pay $1,495 for that particular machine. If an indi.vidi.ual goes into that same store and buys than machine, the price is $1,1.95. You can believe it. Sir, am I telling the truth? I am telling you that this procedure is absolutely ludicrous. It is costing this city mill.i.ons of dollars! Now, I am gathering all of this up, and in a way, I di.dn't want to say anything, because I was unaware that you were coming here, but the real. gut issue in this matter i.s the spc-cs that are put out. If you go and you stick to the specs, all of these are throwing it out, including ford tiotor Company. These specs, and the way that they are written, ai-c the key factor as to what prices we pay. I will have more to say in the future on this because I am catherina more infor- mation, but the ire I get into this thing, the more ludicrous I am flndinc thi�; 1:hole situation is. Mr. Dawkins: 1tie1.1., you are correct and there is none of us sitting up here %.Jic aca not know that you can write a spec or a job specifica- tion tailor made to the individual product that you want, so if you are sayinu wc. need to stop that, I agree, but. I would like to let the Ford t,otar Company know that when you come up here and talk minorities to me, mincrity means Flack and Metro Ford is not owned by a Black; Friendly Ford iE not owned by a Black; Kawasaki West is not owned by a Black; Potamkin Chevrolet is not owned by F, Black; Hill -Kelly Dodge is not owned by a Black; Recency Dodge is not owned by a Black; Jim Peacock Dodge is not owned by a Black; Tom Push Rea_ency Motors is not owned by a Black; Vespa Management is not owned by a Black; Palmetto Kawasaki is not owned by a Black, nor is Kendall Auto Sales, Jim Pea- cock, Hollywood Chrysler and Tom Bush, so I would appreciate it if you i guys would get your act together and help some Blacks obtain a dealer- ship and then when you come down here and start talking about minori- ties, you will have mc, okay? Mr. Planas: Commissioner, if I may... Mr. Dawkins: By all means! Mr. Planas: Since you have my instrument report in which I no longer work for Ford - I just left them, and I also consult for Ford Motor Company... Mr. Dawkins: okay, hold it, before you go, let me ask you one question. When you left them, did you step into a dealership? Mr. Planas: Excuse me? Mr. Dawkins: Do you have a dealership? Mr. Planas: I am working .fora dealership, right now. Mr. Dawkins: No, no, no! ',You are a minority ... are you Cuban? Mr. Planas: That is correct, sir. Mr. Dawkins: Do you own a dealership? ld 30 APR 5 1984 Mr. Planas: No, sir, I do not own it. bet me say this about Ford Motor Company. They do have a program for minorities. They have several Blacks. Metro Ford, in which I work Is o�7ned by Hispanics and over 85% of the employees at Metro Ford are minorities. _ Mr. Dawkins: period! Ownership, period, I am interested in. Ownership_ Mr. Planas: c-,ner.ship -- we have in the Ford Motor Company has ex- actly today fo-.ir dealerships that are owned by minorities. Mr. Dawkins: In Miami? Mr. Planas: In Miami. Metro Ford Company also in addition to that, 85% of the people that are employed there are minorities, including 40% Blacks, so... Mr. Dawkins: But, you see, minorities you can hire and fire. If you own, you own, okay? Mr. Planas: I kn.,w that, but if you want to go into business together, sir, I would to ... Mr. Dawkins: No, no, no, I don't have... Mr. Planas: I will get capital for you! Mr. Dawkins: You see when I go as a Black person, or any other Black person goes to S.Il.:l. to get a loan, then they want to loan me $10,000 to open a fish market or $20,000 for a barber shop. Mr. Planas: I agree with you. Mr. Dawkins: But, when I want to borrow $5,000,000 to open up a new car dealership, they think I am crazy, because I am going to compete with them, okay? Mr. Planas: I cannot say too much - I am sure Jack would make recommendations. Mr. Gary: Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferre: Yes, sir. Mr. Gary: If I may, first of all I would like to say that Commissioner Plummer has been around a long time as City Commissioner and... Mr. Dawkins: Longer than you will be a City Manager. Mr. Gary: Correct. Mr. Carollo: I will agree with that. Mayor Ferre: J. L. ... Mr. Plummer: Yes, well, I want to tell you something - as I told you the other day, his term is going to come to a quick, abrupt halt the next time they deliver my agenda at 1:47 A.M. in the morning! I realize around here 2:47 A.M. is the critical tulle, but my agenda was delivered Saturday morning at 1:47 A.M. I have ir,forrne.d the Iianager to please take more insurance on tine delivery n-L-11, because I damn, near shot him when he walked to my front door at 1:47 A.1,1. in the morning with his lights out! Mr. Gary is not going to survive, 1 want to tell you! _s Mr. Gary: The issue with regards to specs being drawn up to fit'a particular commodity - that lnay have existed years ago, but that is not the case in this particular point. It is not what we do in the City of Miami. In this particular case, and I like to use the zipper as an example - a zipper that Comiiilssioner Plummer and I may use for ld 31 APR 51984 our suits may not be adequate or strong enough for a police officer who has to run and jump to apprehend a offenders. It may not be strong enough for a sanitation worker who has to bend and lift. A suit that is good for an inspector who has to walk in the streets may not be StrOnCT en071<�h to �ai.thstand flip. }ire -!7 -F a.'fl�� the St" -rains of a sanitatiar, worker that has to exercise t:hns seams to its fullest. I think it is also important t_o recoani.7.e that , city -,Iwhich is driven by an inspector has to })e di_f ferent= than a veh i cl e that is driven by the Police Department. They need heavy tires; they need heavy duty batteries, and they need bucket seats because they are utilizing those cars for a 24 hour basis. Mayor Ferre: All right, thank you very much, Mr. Manager. It is 11:05. Mr. Plummer: No, no. whoa! Mr. Gary, with that kind of an attitude, I understand why this City has got the problems that it does. This City is not unique that our policeman here are any different than policeman around the United States to chase criminals and have those problems. our inspectors here I don't think are any different than inspectors around the United States, but I've got to tell you, with that kind of an attitude, things are not going to change. When you put yourself into a defensive pattern, rather than a pattern to say, I want to look into that and make sure that it is right or wrong, that is when I thin: things around here will. change, and I want to tell you Mr. Gary, I am concerned about it. Unfortunately, you don't show that that attitude that you are. I understand as an Administrator you have to defend your people and I appreciate that, but I sitting here defend- ing what I think is the taxpayer, and you will respect that, and I hope that the sum and substance out of this entire episode here this morning_ is that there rill be some investigation to the extent that things could not },e exactly as they say and that we will try to do things better and then I will say that the time that we spent this morning has been well spent. Mr. Gary: Well I am sure that the Administration is going to put that in the appropriate place and to them it will be the garbage can. Mr. Plummer: well, they have to be with 17 handles 87 feet high, and you know, that is the specs for the garbage cans. Mr. Carollo: The last question that I have, on the tires, are they white walls or black walls? I want to make sure that I please my colleague here, okay? Mayor Ferre: All right, thank you Commissioner, you - all right, Carollo has one, you have got two... Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: You didn't vote on this item, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Plummer: No, we are not. we will do it in the regular agenda. Mayor Ferre: No, we are not voting on it now. Mr. Carollo: I just made a request that no one objected to, if they could put everything in writing and any additional information and that be sent to the Commission so that we could analyze it and read it with time and then bring the item back before the Commission. Mayor Ferre: All right. Mr. Carollo: I think the bottom line is that, as I see it, if there are really some legit var.iancAs, then, we should make the individual that places this, stick to the bid procedure. When you have very minor variances and 1 don't care if it is Ford or American Motors, or Chrysler - Dodge, what ha-ve you. You have some very minor variances that the Company that Made tllr. [fi1.t10T Varia7)C'eu is 9C,11)Q 1_0 dive- you a product that is going to be much cheapE.r and of the sai<<e quality or better, then it is absurd that we are going to throw that bid out because of recom- mendations from bureaucrats. 32 ld APR 51984 Mr. Plummer: I second the motion. Mayor Ferre: What was the motion again? Mr. Plummer.: I am assuming the motion was to defer until the next meeting. Mr. Gary: If I may, since the issue deals directly with the vehicle, can we approve everything other than the vehicle? Mr. Plummer: Sure. Joe? Mr. Carollo: Well... Mr. Plummer: Lei:. me ask a question. Mr. Williams? In reference to the motorcycles, sir, what motorcycles did you bid out? Mr. Williams: What motorcycles did we bid? Mr. Plummer: Yes, was there motorcycles involved in this bidding? Mr. Williams: No, there are no ... well, yes they are, yes they are. Mr. Carollo: Yes, they are. Mr. Williams: We bid, we put together performance and a particular specification on the motorcycle. We did not bid a particular unit. Mr. Plummer: Okay, the one that you are recommending. What is the motor? Mr. Williams: Kawasaki. Mr. Plummer: Which one? Mr. Williams: You mean size or... Mr. Plummer: Yes, what motor? Mr. Gary: What motor, a thousand? Mr. Williams: Kawasaki 1000, those are the ones that we tried before. Mr. Plummer: That is the one that is designed to kill people, right? Mr. Carollo: Well, I would like to nominate a committee of three to study the motorcycles a little more and I will readily admit I don't have experience in motorcycles, but I'd like to name three people that do have: Howard Gary, Ken Harms and J. L. Plummer. I am told they studied that issue before. Mayor Ferre: All. right, further discussion? Mr. Carollo: I don't think we have to vote on this, do we? Mayor Ferrc: We don't have to vote on this? Mr. Plummer: Well, you have got to defer it - you have got to vote to defer it. Mr. Carollo: okay, well, we have got to vote to defer it. Mr. Plummer: No, I am not going to vote for motorcycles. Mr. Gary: We need the others - no, forget about the motorcycles and the vehicles. We need the other stuff for the parks. Mr. Plummer: Take the items and the motorcycles and the cars out. I will move the rest of it needs to be apprcved. '33 Id APR 51984 E :7 Mr. Dawkins: Let it all go back! The hell with it. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Dawkins: I don't cane! A lot of things I want Mr. Gary doesn't give me. No, no, no. Defer the whole thing. Mayor Fv:rr.e: All r_ignt, we will take this up this afternoon, and then we will dei-l_ with it then. 19. DECLARE INTENT OF THE CITY COMMISSION TO SHARE ONE HALF THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION OF SECURITY FF"CE, SECTION 8 HOUSING PROJECT, 17TH AVFNUEAND S.W. 4TH STREET. Mr. Carollo: Mr. Mel Adams? Mayor Ferre: Mr. Adams, Commissioner Carollo is calling you. Commissioner, and then Cornmissior,er Daw),ins. Mr. Carollo: Mr. mayor, I would like to bring the memorandum that we all received from Mr. Adams. It has to do with the new Section 8 project that is on S. V,. 17th Avenue between 4th and 5th Streets. Mr. Mel Adams: The residents of that 75 unit development sent a peti- tion to all of the Co1Mu,-,iSSionerS, petitioning for the construction of a fence. After talking to Walter Pierce, I have sent a letter to Dena Spillman, laying out that .if payments... this project was financed in part with City of Mliami hous�.,ig bond funds and in part with revenue bonds funds from the County. We are obligated to pay the City - pay off the bonds at the interest rate that the City had in the bonds over a 30 year period. If we deferred payment this year, of both the principle of about $26,000, and interest that is being earned on an account that the City put into it, of about $14,000, we could build a fence. That money would be... Mr. Plummer: No, that is in incorrect statement. We built the fence. Mr. Adams: The fence can be built. Mr. Plummer: At our expense. Mr. Adams: And that money, that $42,000 would be put back in and over the present life of the mortgage, would be paid off. We would pay a little more each year. This was the procedure you followed on Gibson Plaza a few meeting acgo for painting and some water proofing repairs there. In addition, when the project was built, the developer had a contract that said ... it addresses when interest rates were going out of site, that if actual interests costs, it would be paid for. The interest was high(-r tha:: anticipated by about $10,000. We have to pay for that out of operating expenses. We have a deficit, so we are also requesting that the remainder of the interest that is being earned in your account be capitalized accordingly. There are two different items, really. One is the fence and the other is the interest. Mr. Carollo: Does the Administration have any complaints on this? Ms. Spillman: I have a continent. We agreed that there is a need for a fence and have no problem with the deferral of the interest. On the other item however, we have not had adequate time to review it and would request that we be allowed to do that. Mayor Ferrc-: is the other it ern; Ms. Spillman: it is $24,000 and I am not quite clear on that. Now, I a not quite clear on that, Mel, if you want to... '34 APR 51984 ld E D Mr. Adams: There are two items. For you to pay for the fence, it costs $42,000. That would be $28,000... Mayor Ferre: $42,000? Mr. Adams: It is a fence ... it is a tremendous height, it goes ... no, it is! Mr. Plummer: That is nothing. Wait until this afternoon when you see this $12,000 flag pole. Mr. Carollo: Now it is not just a fence you are building........ Mayor Ferre: Is it for the same purpose? Ms. Spillman: I would like to give you our concerns on this and other housing matters that are bea_inni_nq to come to us more and more fre- quently. This is a project that is managed and owned by Dade County. Mr. Gary: No, no, that is another one. Ms. Spillman: As you well know, we helped finance these projects to a large degree. I guess the question that needs to be asked is how much money is Dade County putting into these projects? And I think you are going to find out that there isn't any. And my concern is that the City is becoming a supporter of public housing, and it is not our job. It is not our responsibility. Mayor Ferrc: Anti then we end up getting the blame. Mr. Plurnrier: 1;c11, that is the same thing with security. Mel provides security at hi: cho:cn location, and then others don't have security, and they fe11, "V;e11, hey, why not be fair all the way around". Some have a f:c;;c-c. Webers don't have a fence and then they come back to us and th(n tlic.; tl-y to put the blame on us - well, you know, I think the HUD l;c := c: rz: pollsibi.li.ty to be uniform - to be fair all the way across the- i ;_,:,I-e9. if you are providing for. some, I think you have got to put a fc:;cc Uround every one of them and put security in every one of them. Tllrt is fairness. Mayor Ferre: Ixplain about the fence - where would a $42,000 fence go? Mr. Adams: The fence is - 17th Avenue has a very small frontage, but the project - goes back to - is it 17th Court, or I th Avenue and it goes back deep a block; it goes all along 5th Street. There are only two projects that we have officially requested money from the City. The Section S, we have never (irrespective of what my personal feelings are) requested officially any money to help finance public housing. That is in terms of modernization, maintenance, anything like that, but the Section g project has individual budgets. I am caught in a jurisdictional struggle, but I think I agree more wit!) Dena than I do with the County that the County says it will not put a penny of Community Development money ill City projects. You can turn this down. I have no way of building the fence. Tile County finallccs out of this General Funi about $500,00C1 a year for operatlnCl ;_.celerity and other things in public housinu-_ I've never asked thst of the City. I never Will. We h,_AVe asked that the county to give us all the interest that it earns and the i!�oney is, put into Section b; all the payment in lieu Of taxes that we 1,;,y tO the: COUI3ty, i na let us use It to do some things in public hou_irn;. Mr. Dawkins: uuy, N:I ii(3'llls, 1 syl;llw thine with you, and I always keep telling y(,u over arui over, when you get ready to put low rent housing in my neic�liborhood, you Lever come before ulc.

Mr. Da..!kins: i,nat is donated by Ahern -Plummer Funeral Home - donation to the City of. Miami i.n memory of the present Commissioner. Ms. Spillman: Just for your information, Commissioners. there is two other items. We did provide moderni.zati.on funds in our first year of Communi-ty Development. I think that was an error and �,.� haven't done it since. The second thing i_s that: - and this is not - I am not speak- ing about Mcl., okay? This is the County. We are involved now in some discussions with the County regarding the use of the surtax money. I think you all remember that that was passed and Marty Fine did a lot of work on that and now we are trying to jocky ourselves into a posi- tion where we feel that we are getting an adequate share of that money and that at this point we don't feel that we are, and that is another housing issue that they all tie together. Mayor Ferre: There is a lot more to it. Mr. Manager, it also comes to my attention that Commissioner Redford has the bill in Metro that will in effect, force the City to follow Metro ... i_t will be our Exhibi- tion Hall, but it has to be built the way they want it, and how they want it, and all that kind of stuff.. In other words, it has to fol- low the Horowitz -Leventhal. reports finds and what it does it boxes us in which in effect is what is being done all over. You know, when they want us to cooperate with the bridge, they are as nice as they can be, and I really don't want me to hold the bridge hostage be- cause it is unfair. Mr. Dawkins: I will! ' Mayor Ferre: But on the other hand, you know they sure give us a hard time. They name call, they give us the ... you know, they are totally unfriendly, anything that has to do with the City. They are not letting T.V. spend any money in the City of Miami as if they had no responsibility for the City of Miami. There is a restriction on how their revenue sharing funds and C.D. funds - they are not spending 20% of their Federal. and State funds within the City boundaries, and so, we have just an ongoing battle going on between us and Metro and we do need to get these things clarified. Mr. Manager, I will do any- thing within reason within the law to get these matters clarified, be- cause we really need ... I don't know whether it requires - Malcom From - berg told me yesterday that it is going to require quarterly meetings between the Manager and the Mayor and that is the way they are doing it. In other words, Rob Parkins and Frornberg are going over it, be- cause otherwise they get whipsawed all the the time also, so perhaps we need to do that, and I don't mind sharing that with members of the Commission if they want to - you know, we will take turns going with you to those meetings, but we need to do something. We just keep running up against a brick wall with Metro and it is just on and on and it gets to be in everything! Mr. Dawkins: Mr. Adams... Mr. Plummer: Well, you know, the whole thing really boils down to, is this City tired of getting second hand relations or are we going to get tough and take a stand and say, enough is enough? Now, you know, the most amazing part of this whole thing is that the County takes an attitude - "City, you are a step -child"., but yet when the problem exists, it is thrown to the City that it is your fault, and that is where I ain getting a little perturbed. Mayor Ferre: 1 mear;, yuu saw it with the Chopin guy this morning. He said "1,e11., they told us to go see the City". But, they are con- tinually doing that. They send us the hard ones; they send us the ones that they don't wart to fund. Mr. Carollo: h'r,ere is the beef doesn't cut the mustard! Mr. Dawkins: And Merrill is standing here, you know, all he is trying to do is do a job! He just works. You go beck and tell the people we didn't give it to you, that is all, I mean, because they are going to do that too. 36 APR 51984 Id Mr. Carollo: I am not going to do that with these people. Mr. Plummer: No, no, you go back - let me tell_ ynu what. You go back and tell those people, and I would like to ce_e a copy of the letter that you send to each and of them _ �•.lu�se responsibility it is. Mayor Ferre: Vc- i,.-i_II pay ha1.f of i.t. I think we ought to be fair about this. I thin?, we ought to put the 1:•urden on the County Commis- sion and say that tre will pay half of it. Mr. Carollo: Well, that was just the motion I am going to make, that we will, pay half of it and we expect the County Commission... Mayor Ferre: Yes, is that the motion you are making? Mr. Carollo: The motion that I was making, Mr. Mayor is that the City of Miami pays half of it when the County pays the other half. Mayor Ferre: Is there a second to that motion? Mr. Plummer: Well., I am going to second the motion, but under dis- cussion, Mr. Mayor, are we setting a precedent? ... is it a precedent that we want to set? Mr. Adams: Can I...? Mayor Ferre: Please, Mel. Mr. Plummer: There is a lot of other housing in this community that doesn't have fencing and doesn't have security. Mayor Ferre: Go ahead, Mel. _ Mr. Adams: There is no question in my mind that except for these two Section 8 projects, the one at Gibson Plaza and this one which the City helped to finance the construction, the City has no responsibility. I don't ever recall being here. I never will be here requesting money for other projects. I don't expect that this project or Gibson Plaza, that in my lifetime in the County, which I expect to be longer than any of you serve, that I will be back asking for money, so I do not think you are setting any precedent. As far as I concerned, there is no precedent being set and I would not use it, nor would I tell the tenants if there was any precedent set. Mr. Dawkins: Mr. Adarns, when do you request your budget from HUD? What do you request money for? Mr. Adams: There are two budgets - there is the public housing budget, which is Liberty Square and all the rcaular pubi.ic hcusina projects. We requested for maintenance, utilties and the like, but each Section 8 project, Gibson Plaza, this one, Singer Plaza, they are all separatly funded budgets. Mr. Dawkins: When you request the funding what is it requested for regardless of how many units it is. Your line items say what, sir? Mr. Adams: In the Section 8 project, it says the maintenance, utilities, staff, and the like. If the budget has enough money in it, we might do some capital. improvement. Mr. Dawkins: Ohay, but you don't request any capital improvement in your budget? Mr. Adams: We do, where it... Mr. Dawkins: Alright, so therefore if you have got capital in your budget - a fence is capital! Mr. Adams: Yes, but the budget for this project is about $110,000 a Year. There is no way that this budget is ever going to be able to pay for that. fence, but... '3f'"i ld /' APB 51984 Mr. Dawkins: Okay, well, when HUD accepted the budget for $110,000, knowing full well that this was not enough, where do they expect to get the rest of the money from? Mr. Adams: Et1011,01 money t_o o1�er:ate it. It is not enough money to put in.the fence n. You al 1. fiat-P spent :j lot of time this morni.na_ .

Mr. Dawkins: The other thing I have, Mr. Mayor - Mr. City Attorney, there is a squabble, or an argument out there between or at the M.L.K. Development Center, whatever it is. I don't know what the discussion is. I don't know what the problem is, but I don't understand that it is your recoimnendation that they go to court. I want it understood and I am going to pass a motion in a few minutes that if two C.B.O.'s out there are arguing among themselves, and we are fundinq the C.B.O.'s, and the members of the: C.E.O. decide to go to court to settle their differences, that the members (f- t};c: C.B.O.'_ go to court at their own expense.

Upon being seconded by Commissioner Plummer, the motion was passed and adopted by the following vote: AYES: Commissioner Miller J. Dawkins Commissioner J. L. Plummer, Jr. Vice -Mayor Demetrio Perez, Jr. Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None ABSENT: Commissioner Joe Carollo Mr. Gary: Mr. Mayor, On this issue, as a result of the tentative information ve are ctet-.ti.na from the Law Department, we are not going to be able to pay any money there and I want you to fully understand it, until they resolve their personal matters. Mr. Dawkins-: 0).av, is it t1,at ve have differences, we nut neople who are operating on a month to month basis, and pay legitimate expenses, what is holding us up from doing that now? Mr. Plummer: Let me ask you a question. Mr. Gary: You want to know if they go on a month to month basis. They get their money on a month to month basis. Mr. Dawkins: Okay, when we get into difficulty like the refunding of programs and etcetera, and etcetera. In order to keep the CBO or whatever it is from failing, we put on...if they gave $12,000 a year, we appropriate Nil, 000 a'1„Qilth until- this 'is settleu - uow, what is wrong with...tnzs is an entity tnat has been operating - I don't know what the problem is, but it appears that we are going to sit idly by and let these people fight among themselves and then all of a sudden the agency will be there. Mr. Gary: This is a different kind of issue - first of all, when we give them a month to month, and this City Commission votes on it, and there is no dispute within the agency, here there is question as to who should get the money, based upon some question of an improper action in terms of changing of the board members, therefore they are fighting. Now, I am not an attorney, but I have a fiduciary responsi- bility to protect the money and if I. give it to the wrong one, without them resolving that issue, then we could lose tli _t mont y f( c o:,e agency that we gave it to as opposed to a different board t),;:t w, should have given it to. Now, if this City Conullission waits to the issue by saying that We give the money to the Staff, &I'd, if lase, fine, that is the decision of this Commission, but right now I could not give the money not knowing who is the legal arm, based on the dispute that exists right now. Mr. Dawkins: Well, Mr. Gary, didn't the City Attorney say we couldn't do that? 40 OR 5 t984 f' 6 win rtnia Mr. Gary: That is why I am not doing it. Mr. Dawkins: But, you said if the Commission - why would we want to do it if the City Attorney told us not to do it. Mr. Gary: I said I taint an attorney - he has to rule on that. Mr. Dawkins: Yes, but he told us not to do it. Mr. Gary: Fine, I just want you to know that he is not going to be able to pay him. Mr Dawkins: But I want all of us to understand that if they continue to fight out there among themselves, they are not going to get any money, and if they decide to go to court on their own, we are not funding one lawyer'.-, hour for them to just meet or litigate, or what- ever they are going to do with this, and eventually when the rourts or whoever decides what they decide, then that is it! Mr. Plummer.: Well, why don't- we send our people in there to run it until such time as you decide it? Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: You don't want to get in the business of running CBO's. Mr. Plummer: Well, obviously it is not running itself. Mr. Dawkins: Well, we've got a liability. Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: Well, you might get challenged, among other things, Commissioner Dawkins, by the group that... Mr. Dawkins: Okay, listen closely. That organization is supposed to be revitalizing 62nd Street, okay? For 10 years that is what is sup- posed to have been happening. Now, all of a sudden, it is going to die. (INAUDIBLE BACKGROUND COMMENTS) Mr. Dawkins: Through no fault of yours, but that is the way it has got to be. Okay, that is all that I have, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferre: All right, anything else on this issue? If not, do you have anything else? 22.

In particular, what I am talking about is in fact, the tax. I am not attacking Southern Bell. I am not attacking A. T. & T. What I am attacking is some $600,000 to $800,000 of less revenue to this City. I ai very concerned. I think - Mr. Gary, what is the total revenue that: we are looking down the path to lose this particular year by the splitting of the two companies? And by the way, Mr. City Attorney, it has been brought ... how much? Mr. Gary: Y500,000. Mr. Plummer: About $500,000 to $1,000,000.

DISCUSSION ITEM AND EXPAND THE DOLLAR AMOUNT OF THE PROPOSED BOND ISSUES TO NOW TOTAL $30,000,000; STIPULATING THE BREAK -DOWN TO BE $20,000,000 FOR SOUTHEAST OVERTOWNI AND $10,000,000FOR EAST LITTLE HAVANA. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Mniager, the second issue on t:hi.s is that in my opinion I do agree N=.-i.th my former opponent, J.wi_er Suarez_, vlio rcconunends that we expand to be in 17ast Little Havana Bond Issue. East Little 11,\'lli7: lt; l.il drE?Stli' il(il:'US. %'ia7J.d 1'.1e.ila 1'7"_l.o Durc;il, 1+ho is the Chairper::on of talc 7 , ;=t 1.i t_t.lk Force, :ays t1lat ve should specifi.(_,;71ly itif)0i its ct;-, :=uill ;1,> tlhe conlnnn7ity center on 9th, 1st, and of he 7 tllr,t 1 7 111 e for funds . J .L. , I have no probl eri i n c t r, t li(.... . Mr. Dawl:iri;_.: Hull i t=, l t t me asl: a question. Are you saying; now that the far wcr�t Overt_()t,'m boiid:-, v-ill be covered over. into Little Havana? Mayor Ferre: No, listen to rie. Hear me through before you come to judgement. I. mean, that's only fair. I'm saying that the $20,000,000 earmarked for Overtot,-n remain as $20,000,000 for Overtown. I am in addition saying; that we add to the bond issue $10,000,000 for East Little Havana. Now, there are those who want to extend the Overtown thing to Liberty City and Coconut Grove. I thing-: that we should resist that, because it is Overtow-n that needs the money right now. It is the worst blighted glietto area that we have in Miami. In the Hispanic community there is nothing; worse than the East Little Havana. ;-.1e can say Little Havana, I have objections to doing; that, if Plummer, you insist on doing; it that way. 1 do think that just like in Overtown, we'd be best, and I don't mind saying; from the river and Brickell Avenue all the way to 17th Avenue and defining it that way. For that area, which is really what East Little Havana should be, but I do not want to go as far as 27th and 32nd, because that isn't a blighted area. So, I would move that the bond issue be amended to be a $30,000,000 and that $10,000,000 be specifically earmarked for the East Little Havana area, which would be defined from Brickell Avenue to the 17th, from the river south to £lth. Mr. Carollo: How much is going to go into that area? Mayor Ferre: $10,000,000. Mr. Carollo: And where is the other $20,000,000 going to? Mayor Ferre: Overtown. Mr. Perez: From Brickell Avenue? 53 APR 51984 sl 1b Mayor Ferre: Well, if you want to say from east/west from the expressway. Mr. Perez: That's from the river. Mr. Plummer: Say from the bay. Mayor Verve: No, ynii don't went to say the bay. From the expressway to 17th, except= that s-r. East Little Havana goes under the expressway too. So T thi-n-lc vo:i have to say almost from.... Mr. Pere;.: The river is the.... Mayor Ferre: The river i the northern limit. Mr. Garcia --Pedrosa: The guideline you want, I think, Mr. Mayor, the Metrorail_ guideline. Mayor Ferre: The 14etrorail guideline west to 17th and from the river south to 8th Street. I so move. Mr. Plummer: Second, Mr. Dawkins: Under discussion, when these bonds come back, I, for one, want it spelled out what we are going to do where. I do not want $20,000,000 earmarked for Overtown, unless you tell me that $5,000,000 will be for relocation; $3,000,000 will be for so and so. I do not want to see n Iump sum either for Little Havana do I want to see a lump SUM. I .-ant to know that y number of dollars will be to relocate people and so Tminy min ion: of dollars will be for helpi.nc; bc,sine,-uses and what have you. Mayor I c,rrc: ;il . 15::n ,Z;cr, 1 would recommcnci u-:o b::scd on Commissioner Dawkins,' !:-tc tc;ncnt, \,-Bich 1 concur with. Onc is, that the Administration come back vith shccific projects. It: must, hoG,,c%,cr, be. spelled out under the law th.:it thi;- Comm:li's ion, or a future Conuni.r;;ion, five or ten years from now (,,,-on priorities. Under- the Inw, ghat'; the way it i.s. Mr. Dawkins: 0.f-, then, we work to defeat i.t, then and wait until that time to move, Mayor Ferre: In other words, what: I'm saying, Miller, is that under the law, you cannot preclude a future Commission from changing how this Commission says this is the way it is to be spent. If five years from now you and I are not on this Commission, for example, and a new Com- mission decides that instead of being spent on 5th, it wants to spend that money on 7th, it can do that. Mr. Plummer: The secret to that is, spend it before we get off the Commission. Mayor Ferre: fine, 0.K., well, wait, I have two points I want to make. One is that you come back with a specific list of ]row these monies are going to be spi,nt. Mr. Carollo: Not only that, but if you can specifically state the amount of ridditional dollars that is going to cost a taxpayer per thousand dollars that their home is assessed if all these $65,000,000 were passed. Mayor Ferre: The second thing, Mr. Manager, that I would like is for us to set up at least three public hearings between now and October. I think they ought to coincide with the other public hearings that we are having on other issues, since we are going out to the community anyway. But. I think there ought to be a specific public hearing in the Black corm:wnity, a specific public hearing in the hispanic community and a specific public hearing in the general White community, Anglo community. sl 54 .APR 51984 Ll E Mr. Plummer: And that program be delivered into the hands of the Commissioners prior to the Fourth of July. Mr. Carollo: These are going to what election now? Mayor Ferre: October l+th, no wn i.t, September. Mr. Plumrler: Then 1. =>oiild say t-hat program of specifics be delivered to this Commission no Later than the fourth of ,tune. Mayor Ferre: With all those amendments, I so move. Have we voted on this? Mr. Ralph G. Ougie: Not yet. Mayor Ferre: I so move. Mr. Plummer: I seconded it. Mr. Perez: There is a move and a second. Do you have any other discussion? Call the roll.

DISCUSSION ITEM: COMPREHENSIVE JOB TRAINING PROGRAM. -------------------- ------_-----------------------------•-------------------- Mayor Ferret I)i.scussion on the ,Job Training Program, change emphasis from English and remedial_ to education on the iob training. All right, Mr. Krause. Mr. Robert Krause: Mr.. Mayor, members of the City Commission, we had indicated much earlier that the new Job Training Partnership Act was going to create a number of difficulties of administration. Some of those are beginning to appear. I sent a report to Mr. Gary recently indicating that one of the difficult areas is job training, because this program no longer provides the stipend for people who are involved in training programs. It is very difficult to sign up participants to take training without the stipends. We had subcontracts scheduled with the Garces Commercial College and with JESCA. We've had to reduce the scope of those contracts and the number of participants who were enrolled in order to fare the reality that we could not find enough people to take the training. We are also having some difficulty in malting job placements because we are not able to provide appropriate training; in advance. I think this was intended as a status report by the City Manager to the Commission. Mayor Ferre: Have JESCA and Garces been informed of your intentions? Mr. Krause: Yes, sir, they have been. As a matter of fact, we have been operating at this reduced level now for approximately three or four weeks. Mayor Ferre: So they have been told. Mr. Krause: Yes, sir, they have been. Mayor Ferre: I have no problem. Does anybody want to move this now? Mr. Gary: You don't have to move it. It's just discussion. Mayor Ferre: Any questions? All right, thank you very much, Mr. Krause. 38. DISCUSSION ITEM OF ADVERTISING IN THE MIAMI HERALD. Mayor Ferre: We are now on item number "E", which is approval of advertising in the Miami Herald. Is this for the Job Training Program? Do you need a motion on this? Mr. Gary: Yes, you have to act on it. Mayor Ferre: Is there a motion? Mr. Carollo: Hold now, let's go over "E" again. Let's get it in the open. Mayor Ferre: This is the Job Training Program under performance based contract with the- South Florida Employment Training Consortium. What they are asking for is to get. Mr. Carollo: Oh, "I1". Mayor Ferre: No, "E", the maximum exposure that they can get, so that 208 job placements can be properly done and they feel that the way to maximum reach the community is to include this in the Miami Herald advertising. Mr. Carollo: It's for the Job Placement. Mayor Ferre: J.T.P.A. Program, Comprehensive Job Training Program. sl 58 .APR 51984 Mr. Krause: Basically, this is to call to the attention of employers that we have a source of employees for them and that we also can pay part of the salaries while they are taking the training. Mr. Carollo: T have T,e objections to this on a one time basis. Mayor Ferre: T�z there a motion? Mr. Perez: Move. Mr. Plummer: Is this item "E"? Mayor Ferre: "E". Mr. Plummer: My agenda says "E" is advertising in E1 Herald. Mayor Ferre: No, sir, that's "F". Mr. Gary: Both of them are for advertising in the Herald. One deals with the Job Training Program; the second one deals with police. Mayor Ferre: Sir, what I have before us is item number "E", and it says.... Mr. Plummer: What dial you do on "E"? Mayor Ferre: That is what we are on, "E", the Miami Herald for J.T.P.A. advertising. It has been moved and seconded. Is there-Fu--rther discussion on item "E"? Call the roll. Mr. Plummer: No, I never agreed to that, Mr. Mayor. I never agree to the advertising in the regular Herald. I agreed because of the nature of the request. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Commissioner, you are confusing apples.... Mr. Plummer: I don't care what it is with. Mr. Gary: You are confusing two issues. One is the regular Herald. Mayor Ferre: This is for the specific.... Mr. Carollo: It was put in the Herald already? Mr. Plummer: No, no, not to my knowledge. Mayor Ferre: This is to advertise the 208 job placements and it's.... Mr. Gary: No, this was not put in the Herald; we are requesting that. Mr. Carollo: J.L., what's the problem? Mr. Plummer: No, my problem is Mr. Gary came to me and asked me about item "F". Mayor Ferre: We are not talking about...that's police advertising. This is Job Training Program. Mr. Plummer: Never spoke to me, so I'll vote against it. Mr. Carollo: 0.1:., I'll withdraw my motion. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Manager, it's in your hands, sir. You know what this job requires. It's called massaging. Go massage it. Mr. Gary: Mr. Ravor, this request is to assist us in trying to make successful a verjr difficult wiiich ,,as due to the fact that the Federal Govu: ni,unt. chLinLud rt�ulat ikms with regard to the job training prokram. 011e yyLI ,rCCI0irt[iicnts is that We have to meet certain bench waiks in ord.1- for the (,it\' to i cet re.iiibursed its money, which is unusual and it's different than what occured in the past. To Mr. Gary (Con't): refresh your. memory, I asked you to turn the money back and tell them to utilize the old guidelines because the City taxpayers are liable because. of the change in the program 1.:hi.ch put us in a li_abi-i-i.ty situation. We need to be able to pets to the employers in this community to inform them that t•P have jobs so tiiny c.an take out people and put them on the job tr_ain{nt se. t.,e can meet ottr bench marks. Most employers that we are trying to renrh read the Herald. Mayor Ferre: Whit is the -il1 of this Commission, if any? Mr. Dawkins: My position is the same as it was before when I sat here and told Mr. (=ary he could not meet those criteria and that he had no business accepting that money. So all I can tell him is to go on the radio or the ptibl_i_c service announcement and announce that he has these jobs. Mayor Ferre: By the way, there is a program that's called "That's Incredible" that some of you may watch. They called me, they wanted to come to Miami to find something incredible. I told them that the City of Miami Com- mission would be the best thing. So, if you see Miss Rooney and the members of the staff of "That's Incredible" walk in, that's what they are here for. Mr. Dawkins: Mr. Gary, were going to have to pay how much money back for taking this program, approximately? Mr. Gary: It's very difficult to determine now. But as I told you at that time when I recommended we don't accept it, it is going to be very difficult for us not to be paying some money back. We are trying to do our best. Mr. Plummer: With that kind of attitude, it's no wonder. 39. DENY PERMISSION TO CITY DEPARTMENTS AND OFFICES TO ADVERTISE IN "EL HERALD". Mr. Plummer: Item "F" I move because I agree to it. Mr. Carollo: What's item "F" now? Mr. Dawkins: Advertising in E1 Herald for police officers. Mr. Carollo: For police? The Latin police officers? Well, Diario is the one they all read. Mayor Ferre: Commissioner Carollo approve it, because he wasn't talked to, so I'm going to back up Carollo on this and we go on to something else. Mr. Carollo: You know, this is absurd. If you are going to be trying to acquire police officers, who have to be well rehearsed in the English language, E.I. Herald is not going to do you any good. _El Herald is what most people -and I'm not. trying; to cut Knight-Ridder down, but they don't even sell it. They stick it in inside their regular English version, then they say they have a circulation of 60,000. Mayor Ferre: Look, iioward, it seems to me.... Mr. Gary: Let us explain our position first, Maurice. Mayor Ferre: It seeps. to nee that both "E" and "F" are important issues. We're going to be doing the City harm by not trying to get the maximum exposure. I would recommend that you withdraw both of these items to this afternoon. Both of you personally discuss this item with Commissioner Plummer and with Commissioner Carollo. APR 51984 sl t. Mr. Dawkins: He discussed both of them with me. Mr. Plummer: Well, l.et me simple£y, Mr. Mayor. I make a motion on "E" to deny. Mr. Dawkins: Second. Mayor Ferre: 7 -rill accept the motion on "E". I will be voting against it. I think we are cutting our noses to spite our faces. I think we should not be taking; that kind of a position, but I will accept the motion on the floor.. Call the roll on the denial of the advertising in the Miami Herald. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Plummer, who moved its adoption. MOTION 84-374 A MOTION TO DENY PIERMTSSION TO ALL CITY DEPARTMENTS AND OFFICES TO ADVERTISE IN "EL HERALD". Upon being seconded by Commissioner Dawkins, the motion was passed and adopted by the following vote: AYES: Commissioner 'tiller J. Dawkins Commissioner Joe Carollo Commissioner J.L. Plummer, Jr. NOES: Vice Mayor De.rnetrio Perez, Jr. Mayor Maurice A. Ferre ABSENT: None. ON ROLL CALL: Mr. Plummer: In compliance with the policy of this Commission, I vote yes. Mr. Perez: This is in reference to your motion? Mayor Ferre: This motion is to deny the Herald. Mr. Perez: To deny the ads, no. I vote no. Mr. Dawkins:' We sat up here and we played, and argued, and dillydallied, and we set up a policy that we said we were going to adhere to when it came to advertising in the papers. One of the things that we said was that we would not...and I voted against it ... that we would not advertise in the Miami Herald. Now we sat here and passed that. Now you are going to come back and go against that. I have to vote to deny in compliance with what we already agreed on. Mayor Ferre: 1 votes- no, because. 1 think it is important that in this important item, which deals with job training and specifically the job training program, that we get the maximum exposure in the community with those employers, who need to know this, and in effect what we are doing is we are giving tht, 208 job placements that WC are going to be dealing with the short end of the stir h by not giving them the maximum exposure and protection. 1 thing: this IS a one shot type of a thing, and I think we are hurting the pcoplc we are trying to help by not voting for it. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, I respect your comments. Mayor Ferre: That's my opinion. "61 sl .APR 5 t984 11 11 Mr. Plummer: I understand that, but you cannot tell me that's the only way, as Commissioner Dawkins said, there is a lot of radio, there are a lot of other things that could be used. Mr. Carollo: 11o17 much vas, that ad going, to be costing the City of Miami or the ads, npprox_mately? Mr. Krause: The ad pr-ob bly Would have been under. $2,000. Mr. Carollo: Under $2,000; do you know how much radio time you can buy for $2,000? Mr. Plummer: A lot. Mr. Carollo: Tremendous. Mayor Ferre: Come back with that recommendation this afternoon, Mr. Manager, so we can get on with this. 40. ALLOCATE $2,000 FOR PURPOSES OF ADVERTISING ON RADIO FOR JOB PARTNERSHIP TRAINING ACT PROGRAM. Mayor Ferre; Would somebody pass the motion that the Administration be allowed up to $2,000 for the purpose of advertising on radio for the proper comprehensive job training program advertising? Mr. Carollo: So move. Mr. Plummer: I'ir. Krause, how much is your budget presently for advertising? Mayor Ferre: Since we are getting selective, I am going to make a motion that we advertise in every station but t,'NWS. Mr. Gary: This will come out of JTP money, Federal monies. Mr. Plummer: So then you don't need a motion. Mr. Gary: Well, we need the motion to go ahead and spend the money doing it. Mr. Plummer: You made the motion to take $2,000 from Federal monies? Mr. Gary: It is Federal monies, yes. Mayor Ferre: Who is making the motion? Mr. Plummer: I second the motion. Mayor Ferre: Further discussion? Call the roll. The following motion was introduced by Mayor Ferre, who moved its adoption. MOTION 84-375 A MOTION AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO ALLOCATE AN AMOUNT UP TO $2,000 FOR PURPOSES OF ADVERTISING ON RADIO FOR THE JOB PAITNERSHIP TRAINING ACT (J.P.T.A.) PROGR-Ml. Upon being seconded by Commissioner Plummer, the motion was passed and adopted by the following vote: 62 APR 51984 sl 11 11 AYES: Commissioner Miller J. Dawkins Commissioner Joe Carollo Commissioner J.L. Plummer, Jr. Vice Mayor. Demetrio Perez, Jr. Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. ABSENT: None. Mayor Ferre: Since we are being selective about where we advertise, I would move that we would not advertise at WNWS, which is a radio station that does nothing but stir racial hate in this community. Mr. Dawkins: I have no problem with that, if we stick with that and don't come back and try to change it next time like we are doing now. I second it, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Perez: Call the roll. MOTION DEFEATED: On motion by Mayor Ferre, and seconded by Commissioner Dawkins, the foregoing motion to exclude WNTWS radio station from City advertising was defeated by the following vote: AYES: Commissioner Miller J. Dawkins Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: Commissioner ,Joe Carollo Vice Mayor Demetrio Perez, Jr. Commissioner J.L. Plummer, Jr. ABSENT: None. Mr. Carollo: We found out who is stirring the racial tensions in this community. Mayor Ferre: Are you accusing me of it? Mr. Carollo: Of course not, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferre: I am saying that WNWS on the record is a radio station that has spent a tremendous amount of time attacking the Cuban community and the Black community. Mr. Carollo: No more than you did, sir, during your campaign when you paid for ads that attacked the Cuban community as much as anyone ever has, sir. Mayor Ferre: I don't think that I can.... Mr. Carollo: ,'hen your ads were screaming of a Cuban take-over at City Hall, if you recall. Mayor Ferre: I absolutely reject that premise. Mr. Plununer: For the record, I vote negatively. Had the motion been to deny any radio station that practiced a descrimination or caused racial disharmony, 1 would have v>ted favorably, but to spell one out without the others, I voted in the negative. Mayor Ferre: But you spell out the Miami Herald. Mr. Plummer: No, sir,,] did not; I said radio stations. Mayor Ferre: No, but the Miami Herald.... Mr. Plummer: I said radio stations. Mayor Ferre: But I mean.... sl 63 APR 51984 Mr. Plummer: Do you want to speak to the other issue? I'd be glad to. Mayor Ferre: There was a specific vote on the question of the Miami Herald, which .... Mr. Plummer: Nothing was ever brought up. Mr. tiaGvor, about inCiai (ji,barmony until you brought it up after the motion of the Herald. Tl)er,- never aciy discussion.... _ Mayor Ferre: I don't mind being the Minorite in tbis. I have no problems with stating my position on the record. 41. BRIEF D1SCUSSION AGATN CONCERNING ADVI-.RTISING ON "EL AFRAID". Mr. Krause: How about item "F", Mr. Mayor? Mr. Ongie: That: was item "F". Mayor Ferre: Item "F". Mr. Plummer: Item "F" I have agreed was for a specified purpose to a specified reason and I voted yes, or I made the motion. Mayor Ferre: Is there a second? Is there a second? Is there a second for the last time? Ileari.ng; no second, the item dies for a lack of a second. 42. ACCEPT SCHEMATIC DESIGN PLAN FOR THE MANUEL ARTIME COMMUNITI CENTER. Mayor Ferre: Item "H", the schematic design on Manuel Artime Community Center. Ms. Dena Spillman: Mayor and members of the City Commission, in June of '83 you authorized the City Manager to execute an agreement with Duany, Plater-Zyberk and Plasencia to provide architectural services for the renovation of Building A of the Little Havana Community Center. I think you are all aware this is the old church building. We have operating; this since we purclUlSed this buildint, almost ten years ago in an almost substandard condition. It has a temporary stage. There is no permanent Lighting or any sort of equipment, which can be used by cultural groups when they come in to use the facility. Mr. Dawkins: Dena, before you go further, may I ask one question, please? Ms. Spillman: Certainly, Commissioner. Mr. Dawkins: Was this put out on bid or was this awarded -this contract - awarded to thew? Ms. Spillman: This was advertised and it went through the architectural selection procc-ss. Mr. Dawkins: Let me see how I can say this, so that you can understand what I'm saying. Was this a competitive bid and they won the contract through coria,rtitivi- bidding? Ms. Spillman: It was a competitive process. It was not based on funds, on the cost of the: service. Mr. Gary: The answer to your question is yes. It was done on a competitive selective process, which all professional services contracts are done. sl 64 .APR 51984 E El Mr. Dawkins: Let me see the bids and let me see how it was arrived at that they got the bid. Ms. Spillman: No problem, as a result of the evaluation that the architects have done, what you have before you is a schematic design of the proposed renovation. The reason that we are here before you today is we want to get your input before we go any further in the process to the design development phase. One of the things that is being recommended is that the auditorium be reduced from its current 1,300 seat capacity to n 729 seat fully equiped community theatre. That t•,i.l.l be further discussed by the architects. The cost of renovation is currently estimated at $1,500,000. This is an estimate at this point. I want to stress there are no funds available for this project. We proceded on this hoping that we could either get a special Federal grant or some foundation money. We are still trying to do so. You should be aware that there is no capital improvement funding available for this project at this time. The next step in this process would be that today we would receive your input on the plans and then the design develop- ment documents will be presented to you .at your July City Commission meeting, which will be held at the center- itself. We thought this would be a very effective way of showing you actually what is occuri.ng there. At this time I would like to introduce to you Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk and Roger Pl.asencia, who are here to describe to you their conclusion. Ms. Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk: Good morning, as Dena Spillman has told you, this presentation represents the completion of the schematic design for. the Manuel Artime Theatre. Our concept is informed by broad, basic input from a number of groups as follows: the Saski. Master Plan, which was presented to the City two years ago. We differ from that proposal by proposing_ a slightly larger facility with a less drastic and less expensive solution. The Greater Miami Performing Arts facility study recently completed by theatre consultants, Artec of New York, as commissioned by the Downtown Development Authority, with regard to this specific facility, they spoke of noise intrusion, lack of adequate storage facilities and the need in the community for smaller theatres. We have also had direct conversations with cultural groups representing a wide variety of ethnic groups and performance types, Hispanics, Blacks, and Anglos, theatre, dance, and orchestra, children's theatres, from whom an enthusiastic response came. The central location of the Artime Theatre is attractive and desirable to a number of groups and it was suggested that there would be further usage of the facility by the festivals which the City sponsors, including the Miami Film Festival and the New World Festival for the Arts. We've also had input from our engineers and accousticians and the: Little Havana Community Center staff. The City's building and fire codes with limitations primarily in the stage area, and last, but not least our own efforts to minimize the budget. Obviously, the goals of this variety of interests do not immediately harmonize. Iiut our schematic plans respond optimally to all collectively. A brief description of the existing conditions of this building, the building is structurally sound and accoustically viable. The architecture is dignified and suitable for re -use as a theatre. Parking facilities are more than adequate. however, there is no real stage or theatre equipment, lighting or sound system, which is an impediment for its use by community groups, who generally cannot afford the cost and effort of providing; their own stage set up. There are also the serious problems of noise intrusion and lack of storage. We are proposing a new semi -thrust stage and back stage to be built within the existing house, leaving the community center office spaces intact, while reducing; the seating capacity from the current 1,300 to about 730. This typo of stage with a thrust poition removable allows dramatic performance behind the proeeniuITl and orchestral presentations in IYOUL 01 Lnc p1OCV"iUm. This scheme is the result of the Ci ty ' = need to maintain the pxi srir.^ office space, our inLention to m3nawize cost ny optimin3nr changes to the building, and the local performance Eroups' desire for a 500 to 700 seat theatre, so that their smaller productionE Can 100y to full houses. One of the concerns they voiced was that in the taciliLics that :ire available to them in the City now they often have to play to houses that are only partially suated and t-lint poses a great difficulty for then,. of -her aspects of our scheme_ include a%jst,ing :,fair: to be enclosed to meet fire code requirements, SLOragc bring, provided at the rear Of Lhe hounc and at the back stage area, dressing; rooms duSignat- d for the southoust corner of the building, and existing, clabsruuw space on the third f3uuy of the offices will be modified to use for rehearsals as well. It is likely that several companies will make this theatre their home and schedule alternating . 65 AR 519134 sl It r Ms. Plater-Zyberk (Con't): performances. The back stage area provides space for simultaneous storage of several, stage sets. At this point we are inter_v:S.ewa.ng theatre cons trl.tants for part, iri_pat1on and the subsequent design development and constrtict_inn clncument phases of o nr work. We have already mot i. i tir se�-nral. we have boon ascltred of th- platTsJbi.lity of Our scheme, a.s c.7n71 as t_i1e l,os�ihilit.i_ec of phasin; tho t r,rlc and t_he expenditures. The top priority for the ianrlc is the rofotminp of thn tl,catrc sPacE'. The stage and back_ st nr? area, tilt? house i tsel f where the soati_ng is, the dressing rooms and rehearsal space, and some cosmcti.c wort: in tho Lobby. This includes as canll the provision for theatre equipment infrastructure and the recluct_ ng of the existing A.C. syst_cm. The existing seating in the hall. which is not stnggared for good sight lines Js nn icrnn;t-1cnl liability and is uncomfortable. The seating on the balcony could stay, but the seating on the first_ floor should be replaced. Subsequent priorities in order for phasing are: the replacement of the air- conditioning system. We believe a much more energy efficient system can be installed. The old one, which is there now, is usable, but it is very noisy and it needs to be shut off during, performances. The upgrading of the theatre equipment, renovation of the office spaces, and finally the replacement of the second floor seating, the balcony seating. It is our intention to provide the City with the first class theatre facility that is as flexible as possible within the limitations described earlier for the use of performance groups as well as community meetings. Our consultants have verified that a new facility of this scope would cost at least $4,000,000. The City is for- tunate to already have a structure of this much character and potential. I hope you see _i_ts opportunity with the same exitement that the architect and the performing groups, who look forward to this project's realization, do. Mr. Dawkins: What were the reasons that you gave for reducing the seating to half? Ms. Plater-Zyberk: If you refer to the drawings in your booklet, I think it is easier. Currently, the building has the office space in the back and then the house where all the church seating is has a very small stage area which is not separated from the seating at all, has no back stage, no space for equipment, lighting, no wings. In order to provide an adequate stage and not destroy the offices that are in the back of the building, we are moving into the area of the building that has the church seating currently. Mr. Plummer: What is the total cost of the project? Ms. Plater-Zyberk: We are estimating a total cost in construction of $1,500,000. Mr. Plummer: No, total cost of the project? Mr. Dawkins: $4,000,000 you said. Ms. Plater-Zyberk: No, $1,500,000. Mr. Dawkins: Where did the $4,000,000 come from? Ms. Plater-Zyberk: We are saying that a new facility would be $4,000,000. Mr. Plummer: Are you saying $1,500,000? Ms. Plater-Zyberk: That's right. Mr. Plummer: Are you talking about all of the furniture and all of that goes into it, the architectural, in other words, what is the total project cost? Ms. Plater-Zyberk: We are talking about $1,500,000 for total construction cost of the building, all of the seating.... Mr. Plummer: Excuse me, you spoke about the stage and the lighting, and all of that. Is that all included in the cost? Ms. Plater-Zyberk: That's right, yes. APR 51984 sl 66 .0 Mr. Plummer: There are no additional costs. Ms. Plater-Zyberk: That's the total cost that we are estimating at this time, no additional costs. Mr. Plummer: T am asking, total. cost includes fees, architectural, supervision, permit fees, evertitl�.ng. In other words, what you are saying is after the City, i.f they were to spend $1,500,000, can automatically the next day step in anJ put on a production. Ms. Plater-Zyberk: That's .;hat we are saying. Mayor Ferre: T would recommend that out_ of that $10,000,000 that the people approve, that might be one of the things that we would want to look at. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, I. think this is a very fine presentation. Let me tell you the problem I. have. The problem I have is to add one more facility for the purposes of: in -competition to a Gusman Hall that is losing money, to a Knight Center, and I say that Knight Center losing money, Dade County Auditorium which is about breaking even, the Dinner Key Auditorium, which is losing money, I just wonder and seriously, question are we not at our detriment over-faci.l.i.tizing this community and I have to wonder that if this is to take business, for example, from Gusman Hall, if this is to take business from the other, we are digging a deeper grave. Mayor Ferre: But, J.L., this is a neighborhood community facility. We are lucky, I. think, to have it. You can say that about parks. You can say that Margaret Pace Park, Moore Park loses money. The Police Department lose money. The Fire Department loses money. but we are not in the money- making business. V'e are in the service rendering business. Mr. Plummer: Yes, but my problem, Maurice, is I can understand the loss of money and what the. overnment has to provide, but they are not being utilized. Thrt' ri difference than money. Ms. Plater-Zyberk: I can speak to that problem. Mr. Plummer: You can speak to it from a certain extent. If you want to see something that I don't agree with, go to the Jim Redford Plan about the exhibition hall. I don't agree with that, but I think it highlights the problem that we're having. That if you get this and it is utilized, then Gusman Hall, instead of being used 50Z is going to be used 25% making it deeper in debt. The Knight Center, which is losing money, instead of being 300 days to play, will be 200 days to play. Mayor Ferre: This is not going to compete with the Knight Center. It might compete with Gusman Hall, even though I think this ends up being a rather small, little theatre. Ms. Plater-Zyberk: It's much smaller than ... we are presenting it as a smaller theatre than.... Mayor Ferre.: Clow many seats will this have? Mr. Pluuuner: 700. Ms. Plater-Zyberk: This is just over 700. That's smaller than Gusman Hall. it's smaller that Coconut Grove Theatre. Mayor Ferre: It's smaller than anything. It's a neighborhood type of a theatre. You are going to get all these Cuban companies that do all these little presentations where they need 300-400 seats; they do not go anywhere else. There is no theatre for them. They are using warehouses. sl .67 APR 51984 Ms. Plater-Zyberk: With all due respect for your concern, because I think it is a valid one, there is a terrific amount spoken to that in this report that Artec did for the City and the County on the theatres in the Metropol.i.tnn area. In general, the report concludes that it's not the number of t:lheatr� 'jncjl_i_t:ic­' that is a problem in the City. If fact, they think U*e are unde7 --faci l.i tested for a city of this size, but. the Quality of t )iri.o e- i St.inr cpar.rc, Mr. Plummer: Yell_., I don't 1:_no;.; what._ you are Lalki.ng about, but I have to tell. you that in my estimation from your comments, whomever made that report is not worth a damn, becausc-t it doesn't equate to the fact that Gusman Hail is losing money. It do- 'n't equate to the fact tliat the Knight Center is losing money. That Dinner Key Auditorium is losing money. Mr. Plater-Zyberk: It gives reasons for that in the case of each theatre. Mr. Plummer: Q.K., I have not read the report; but the bottom line is I know the dollars are being put to subsidize. That I know. Now, the problem that I'm getting at is that you put this in here, you can almost bet that there are going to be no charges made, or they are going to be here asking for waivers every day. Mayor Ferre: J.L., what's the bottom line of all this? Mr. Plummer: The bottom line is I move that we accept the schematic. Mayor Ferre: Is there a second? Mr. Carollo: Second. Mayor Ferre: Further discussion on the acceptance of the schematic, as presented? Call the roll. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Plummer, who moved its adoption, MOTION 84-376 A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PROFFERED TO THE CITY COM11ISSION ON THIS DATE FOR THE MANUEL ARTIME COMMIINITY CENTER.

Mayor Ferre: "J", which is discussion of the trash receptacles, Iir. Manager. Mr. Gary: Mr.. I-layor, we have a resolution before you to allow us to go out for bid for trash receptacles similar to the ones that you have seen that would not only be downtown, but all our neighborhoods to replace the trash receptacles which we use now, which are not sturdy, and are very unsightly, and subject to theft and damage. Mayor Ferre: What's the will_ of this Commission? Mr. Gary: By the way, this is as a result of a joint effort of D.D.A., Downtown 14iami Merchants, Planning Department. They all recommended it. Mayor Ferre: Willy, are you recommending this? Mr. Carollo: Is it going to have "City of Miami" on it somewhere? Mr. Gary: Yes, we are going to put the logo on it with "City of Miami" ingrained to the rocks. Mr. Plummer: Horrible looking. Mayor Ferre: Is there a motion? Mr. Plummer: That's the guns of Navarone.

DEFER CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTANCE OF C0.•fPLETED WOPJ, FOR HADLEY PARK IMPROVEMENTS PENDING INVESTIGATION BY MIUIBERS OF THEE CITY COMMISSION. Mr. Dawkins: I would like to move item 102, please. Mr. Manager, I need someone up there for 102, please. Mr. Plummer: Do you move to accept or deny? Mr. Dawkins: I. don't knot:. I'm getting ready to see now. Mayor Ferre: h'e are on item 102, Mr. Kern. This is the P.N.M. Corporation. $123,000 for Nadler Park. Mr. Carl Kern: Yes, sir, Carl Kern. This is a Public Works item, but basically it: is the completion of the construction phase of the work that has been done out there. It is a final payment. Mayor Ferre: Is that the tennis court? Mr. Carl Kern: Yes, everything was included in that total program. Mayor Ferre: Isn't that part of the consent agenda? Mr. Kern: Yes, sir. Mr. Dawkins: You can pull it now or then. It doesn't matter. Mayor Ferre: Commissioner Dawkins has pulled item 102 and we are discussing it now. Are there any questions you have on it? Mr. Dawkins: Yes, a lot of them. Mr. Plummer: Where did this money go for in particular? Mr. Don Cather: This is an addition to the regular Hadley Park contract and it included some tennis courts, which have been completed by P.N.M. and it is part of the consent agenda. We are asking for final payment. Mr. Plummer: How man}, tennis courts? Mr. Cather: Two. Mr. Plummer: Two courts? Mr. Gary: Two racket ball courts, two tennis courts, including the lighting, fencing, color coding, electrical work. Mr. Plummer: It cost $123,000? 70 APR 51984 sl 4 Mr. Cather: Correct, and the work has been performed satisfactorily. Mr. Dawkins: To you satisfactory to you? Mr. Cather.: According to the contract specifications. Mr. Dawkins: t.That did they do t:n the other tennis courts out there? Mr. Cather: They didn't do anything, sir.

DISCUSSION AND FORMALIZING RESOLUTION REGARDING FUNDING TO SEND STUDENTS OF THE MARTIAL ARTS ,'O A KARATE CONGRESS IN CARACAS, VENEZUELA. Mr. Carollo: Mr. Mayor, briefly, last Commission meeting we passed a resolution approving some $5,000 for the karate group that was going to be representi.n�; us in Venezuela. I understand up to this date the City has not given them the money. They have to leave in just a few days, it is my understanding. I'd 1.il:e to find out if there is anything else that is needed from the Commission or what the hold up is. Mayor Ferre: The Commission voted for it and it was unanimous vote. Mr. Carl 1,crn: Yes, sir, they came in on the last Commission meeting of the 29th. There are a couple of technical problems that a;c encountered. They are not. a non --profit organization. They don't a charter and they don't have a certified public accountant, which conforms v' th the guidelines :>et: up by the Commission. So what v,c had to do is to work on a sub.=tit.ute sort of agreement with them where. they would be able to be paid. Mayor Ferre: You mean they are a for -profit organization? Mr. Kern: No, they are not a for -profit, but they're not a State certified non-profit agency. So we ran into those technical problems. That's basically the nature of it. Mayor Ferre: What you are saying is you are working it out? Mr. Carollo: Well, that's what we are running with with most of the organizations that we've been giving funds to. That's really nothing new. Mr. Gary: No, if you recall, as a result of our sitting down with the State Attorney and we set up some regulations and bringing them back to you, it says that we have to give them to bona fide corporations, non- profit. Mr. Carollo: Make sure they get their money. We approved it. Mr. Gary: What we are doing now is we have a resolution for your action today. It's to try to get around or address that concern. The City Attorney has drafted the resolution to give it to the coaches, which he feels would lceup us in compliance with our policies with regard to what we had agreed upon. Mr. Carollo: Howard, after we vote upon that, when can they have their check then? Mr. Gary: Do you have the contracts written up? Mr. Kern: Yes, we do. They just have to submit their paid bills, Mr. Carollo: They have to submit their paid bills? Mr. Gary: They could get their check today. APR 51984 sl 72 11 Mr. Kern: They have to submit their paid bills and they get their check, according to the terms of the contract. Mr. Carollo: They leave to submit their paid bills. Is there a representative from the group here? When can you suhmi_t the paid bills to get a check? Unidentified Speaker: We seibrilt-ted most of the bills, I think. They have all the bill-, right- nvw. Mr. Carollo: For. the full amount? Mr. Gary: All this, right here? Unidentified Speaker: The whole thing, everything. Mayor Ferre: Is there further discussion? Mr. Carollo: Dena, do you have that? Ms. Spillman: Yes, they can get a check today. Mr. Carollo: They have submitted the checks. When can they get their check, then, if they have submitted what you need? This afternoon? Howard, can they get it this afternoon then? Where should they go? You will tell them where to go, now? Fine. I move the resolution that the City Attorney drafted allocating them an amount not to exceed $5,490. Mayor Ferre: Is there a second? Mr. Perez: Second. Mayor Ferre: Further discussion?

Mr. Perez: ttin now have personalfrom St.. 13ur'naventure of America, Inc. 7'he5> have requested that the City of lli_a-.i. purchase 1,000 tickets at a reduced price of $ ;'.50 for the Miss Afro --America Pageant to be held at the Theatre for the Performing Arts from April 28, 1984. Mr. Plummer.: Is there anybody here on Item Number 12, St. Buenaventure of America? Is there anyone here on Item 12. 'There is someone coming from the back - is this your item, sir_? Pull the microphone around, sir. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: To the honorable Mayor Maurice Ferre, the Miami City Commission, and City Manager Howard Gary, it is a privilege to appear_ before you to request your support of the 1.984 Afro-American Collegiate Pageant. This national }pageant of Black campus queens will bring positi.vc. light to our community and enhance Black Miami's image. It is a great A,-�erican event. The Miss Afro-T.mcrican Pageant was con- ceived as part of the great American dream. It will dazzle the entire South Florida community with an exciting weekend of paaeant-r..y. As president and founder of the Miss Afro-American Pageant, I would be honored and most grateful if the City of Miami would consent to purchase 1,000 discounted tickets. I am also requesting the City of Miami to print souvenir programs for our pageant that will include promotional material on Miami, and also to print posters and flyers for the Miss Afro-American Pageant. These souvenir brochures would be distributed at the Miss Afro-American Parade, the Miss Afro-American Pageant and at college campuses and universities across the nation. This will help to open new doors for the Black tourists of our country. The underprivil.ener; and disadvantaged youths who receive these tickets will have a wonderful opportunity to attend a natural extravaganza. It instills in hu-nericans of all walks of life that they are indeed winners. By attending the Miss Afro-American Pageant, these disad- vantaged youths to see our pageant's opening production numbers as little sisters and little brothers of campus queens participating in the pageant. These South Florida youths will time and time again hear and read about spectacular local events, but are rarely afforded a chance to see these events simply because of the fact of being dis- advantaged and boor. Vith programs such as the Miss Afro-American Collegiate Pageant to attend and participate, these South Florida Children will go on to become lawyers, teachers and doctors and make great contributions to our society. The 131ack campus queens partici- pating in our ;:pageant are great roll models for our children. They are to put it mildly, %,.inners. They are i.ntel.ligeiit, educated and marvelously rectal. 'I'he 1964 Idiss Afro-American Pageant which v:as originally scht-duled for 1:1n-il -)'8th will he staged Jur,.e i- 19C at the Center for th(— fine Arts, at 101 WL st Flagler, J.&C-'inning at 8:00 P.M.

I make a special appeal for your support. Let's show America a positive side. of black Miami. Thank you. Mayor Ferre: All right, we are on Item Number 12 and we need recom- mendations on this? Mr. Gary: Mr. Mayor, this item has to go back before the Review Commit- tee because certain forms have not been filled out for us to make an evaluation. Mayor Ferre: All right, does anybody else have any statements that need to be made on this? Will you need any motions on this matter?

Mayor Fer1-e: Agenda Ttem number 13. - Mr. Brooks, the Chair recog- nizes you. Let me say a fee•, words here. I think obviously there is a lot of expectations and I. think that it important that people under- stand what we are doing here. Ladies and Gentlemen, the City of Miami Commission in the past had a commitment of coming out to the neighborhoods. What we are doing now is re --establishing that. We did it up lunti_l. about five years ago and we have re-established that and we will be going at every Commission meeting in the afternoon to the neighborhoods so that those citizens who want to see the Mliami Commission in action, or they have something that they wish to bring to us, they will. have the opportunity to do so near their homes. I think it also brings us in the Commission an opportunity to see you in your neighborhood and I think that is really what it- is all about. (COMMENTS 13Y Mayor Ferre in Spanish follow) All right., r'r. Brooks, the Chair recognizes you. Mr. Arthur Brooks: Good Afternoon, ilr.. Mayor and Commissioners, I am here to present our video tape of our last year's festival as the City of Miami requested us to do. We have shown it to the Dade County Commissioners and they are very pleased with it. I am sure when you see what we did in 1983, you will be pleased with it also, and we expect to do bigger and better things in 19B4, but we need to carry out your wishes and let you see what happened with Sunstreet Festival for 1983, and I hope this presentation will enlighten you and you enjoy it. Thank you. Mayor Ferre: All right. Turn it a little sideways so some of the people in the audience can see. (AT THIS POINT, audio-visual presentation was made - comments inaudible) Mayor Ferre: Thank you very much. Is there anything else you want to address at this time? Mr. Brooks: Mr. Mayor, I would like to say I am sorry we could not get more volume so everybody could see it and hear it and enjoyed it much better, but it was a brief presentation. and light footage of our festi- val. What I am saying here to you today, to the Commissioners here today in Allapattah. I think all the volunteers that were involved in the Festival for '83 did a beautiful job and they are standing in the wings to get '84 under way ana I am hoping that the City of Miami Commissioners will consider us and when we corne back and hope you would be willing to help us out in 1984 and I am sure you won't regret it. I want to thank you. Mayor Ferre: Thank you, Mr. Brooks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 50.

Mr. Walker: I don't have that contract with me, sir. I am sorry. Mr. Walker: I am not sure whether is is $1,200 or... Mayor Ferre: Well, let's put it this way. Is between zero and $100,000? Mr. Walker: It is between $1,200 and $2,000. Mr. Dawkins: Okay, thank you. Mayor Ferre- Mr. Manager, what is your recommendation? Mr. Gary: Mr. Mayor, we recommend against any fireworks for it is against the ordinance, particularly this, because it is held on a Sunday night, as I recall, that is the date that you plan to shoot the fireworks and you will. disturb the neighborhood, particularly those little kids that have to go to school.

In the past year, 30s of: our business would have been in the City of Miami if it had not been for the 9:00 P.I`i. requirement along with time limits being placed upon the acenda. Our clients have not had the typee of entertainment they preferred, and these clients are the same ones that are tourist_: and conventioneers that you so strongly promote. Fireworks are entertainment for everyone and is also an art form - an art form which we are doing tomorrow night at the downtown campus of Miami Dade Junior College.

W. 17TII AVENUE, BUT LIRCE METRO TO ASSUME OBLIGATIONS TO REPLACE THE PARKI NC . Mayor Ferre: We are now on Item Number 15, which is representative of commercial properties along 17th Avenue. Name and address for the record. Mr. Julio Fonte: My name is Julio Fonte. I own a business at 330 S. W. 17th Ave71ue and I air, a spokeEman for the businessmen In the area of. 17th Avenue betwNel; Flagler Street and S. W. bt.h Street. Our sltuatloL 1S th(� a5 47e 1prjoke t_he last t11T«, there are plans for the w1dcl,.Inc) of 1 ith AVCr":U6 whic`n 4;oUld adversely affECL every one of the busint-sse in thte area. As I r xplained before, it affects ap- proximately 50 businesses, arid possibly 200 people or more will lose their employment on account of this wideriirry. . Id 79 APR 51984 Mayor Ferre: How many people? Mr. Fonte: In excess of 2.00 people. We are looking for an alterna- tive to this situation and I think that it is necessary for the widening of 17th Avenue that there u,,i.11 be other alternatives to this situation. Apparently there have keen public hearings on this matter. before. The businessmen of t.hl� area were not, aware of them.If they were sent noti- fication, they didn't understand them. Mayor Fer.r_e: You realize of course, that the City of Miami has no authority as to whether 17th Avenue is widened or not. We have some influence, but. we do not decide that - Metropolitan Dade County de- cides. Mr. Fonte: We are fully aware that the County is the moving force behind the widening of 17th Avenue, but before we can take the next step up the ladder, we need to have the backing of the City, whether we are backed by the City, government entrance or not. Mayor Ferro: This is a public hearing, is there anyone else who wishes to address this Commission at this time? Does anybody else - does the Administration wish to address the Commission? In discussion, isn't anybody going t. day anything? Mr. Plummer: It: is a personal appearance. Mayor Ferre: Well, this may be a personal appearance, but the Adminis- tration needs to be on the record as to whether it is for or against. Mr. Donald Cather: My name is Donald Cather, Public Works for the City of Miami. We have prepared for your perusal there a map showing the major property defected by this widening. This project was first brought before the attention of the Public Works Department some six years ago at which time we worked very closely to minimize the impact of the widening of 17th Avenue by shifting the alignment from side to side so that the impacts would be minimized and they worked very closely with the Depart-wient of Public Works for Dade County. Mr. William Powell, -Director of Public V"orks for Dude County is here to answer any detailed questions you may wish to address to him. We be- lieve that this project should go forward. Mayor Ferret All right, Mr. Powell. Is there anybody else from the public who wishes to be heard at this time? Mr. Bill Powell: Good Afternoon - Bill Powell, Director of Public Works, Dade County. The 17th Avenue project has been in the program for approximately 10 years. Mayor Ferret Longer. Mr. Powell: Yes. Mayor Ferret 20 years. Mr. Powell: The plans have been prepared. There have been public hearings on it. As a result, plans have been prepared. we are in the process now of requiring the right-of-way where necessary. Let me say that when the plans for 17th Avenue were first proposed, we were talking about 100 foot wide right-of-way. After much discussion, it was decided to reduce to 70 feet, ,,,Mich eXists in most lor_aticns along 17th Avenue, thereby lessening the impact. Pii;.:t will Le cc.nstructed in there will be four traffic lanes, two iIi arc}, dir<:ctiorwith a center turn strip that will 1 roviQe t.urnlna mr,NL-PieT,tS 1litG the proper- ties or into the side stre&is. It ,:ill be a I1�inamdm sectio:, - it will be a section similar to what Ilas bee_I, dol- on 2211d Avenue. We are ready to go (inaudible) what is nec-essary and 1 would guess that within the next year we will be advertising for bids on the project. ld '80 APR 51984 H Mr. Plummer: What about 8th Street to Dixie Highway? Mr. Powell: That is the same section in there. However, most of that is residential rather than business. Mr. Plummer: So vi gat you are say _nar that when you do it, your total project is from 1st Street: to Pixie H_7hway. Mr. Powell: That i_s correct. Mr. Plummer: Ar-d t•rhen do you contemplate this project as starting? Mr. Powell: We quess wo will be advertising and receiving bids within the next year. Mr. Plummer: And holy long do you contemplate this project to take? Mr. Powell.: It will take a year. Mr. Plummer: In other words, the businesses will be disrupted for a year. Mr. Powell: Yes, sir.. Mr. Plummer: what alternatives have you made for traffic that nor- mally travels that street or tries to travel that street? Mr. Powell: t;c=11, we made provisions to maintain traveling on the street d <ri ;ci co:istruction. Of course there will be some periods where certr;in >c-ctions %,ill probably have to barricaded off during a short period, )jut that is the best we can do with it under the circumstances. Mayor Ferre 1,1r, Powell., I noticed that from this path, there are more properti.cs that (inaudible)....... Mr. Powell: There is more than that in the total project all the way from 1st Strcet down to U. S. 1. There is something like 70 properties affected. Mayor Ferre: Why are you showing it to be only 4 properties affected. Mr. Plummer: From 1st to the Trail. Mr. Powell: It is just in the short section here that these particular properties are affected. In most cases we are only taking ` to 10 feet of the property. You see, we are trying to keep it within what is already the existing right-of-way. Mayor Ferro: All right, Mr. Powell, did you have a similar type of complaint and problems when you did 27th Avenue and 22nd? Mr. Powell: Yes, sir, every street we do. Mayor Ferre: And how were they worked out? Mr. Powell.: Well, when the right-of-way is required, we have got to go in find take it. There is disruption: to the businesses while the road is under construction. There is no question about that. Mayor Ferre: X.:id you lay... Mr. Powell: No, we don't reimburse the property owner for anything. Mayor Ferre: You don't reimburse them for taking their property? Mr. Powell: Oh, yes, but not for the loss of business. Mayor Ferre: Oh, okay. Further questions of Mr. Powell? LD APR 5 1984 1 (INAUDIBLE BACKGROUND COMMENTS) Mayor Ferre: The question is is this one of the few cases where you are having your relocation assistance. Mr. Powell: That is right-, where• the property is being taken so that the tenant or the owner ha.s to move out, there is relocation assistance available to them. Mayor Ferre: flow many properties are Navin<,I to relocate their business? Mr. Powell: I can't answer that, Mayor - I don't know. Mayor Ferre: One? Ten? One hundred? Mr. Powell: I can't tell you, Mayor. I don't know. Mayor Ferre: Would you give us that information, please. Mr. Powell: Yes, we sure will. Mayor Ferre: Are there any other questions of Mr. Powell? is there anybody else (I will get back to you and let you close it) who wishes to speak on this issue at this time? Ms. Hilda Rodriguez: I am Hilda Rodriauez, Little Havana Development Authority, 970 S. V,. ist Street and i,,e have boon involved in this project since 1980 grid ve have been holding public meetings since 1980.a.nd the chances is now planned for those meetings to accomodate those businesses and otianers of that area. All these changes have come up to the plan that is now there, we think these plans should go ahead. Mayor Ferre: Is the Little Havana Development Authority recommending this expansion? Ms. Rodriguez: We think it should be done, yes. Mayor Ferre: Did you say yes? Ms. Rodriguez: Yes. Mayor Ferre: Did you take it to the Board? Was that a Board decision? Ms. Rodriguez: It is part of the Latin Quarter Plan. I mean, it is not completely the Latin Quarter Plan, but we have been working with the Public Works Department on this issue. Mayor Ferre: Anybody else? Mr. Fonte: I own a business there, and nobody has come to talk to me about it. I have also other owners out here and they like to know who came to contact them to caution them about their interest. Who makes these decisions? The Latin Chamber of Cortunerce, the Gentle- men that sat back: Mere said that on previous meetings the last time, the Latin Chamber of Commerce backed the widening of 17th Avenue, yet, today h(- had to leave because the time that Mr. Pestones was here -representing the Latin Chamber of CoriLrc�erce, and he is backing us! We made it clear to him that we are... Mayor Ferre: Was that in writing? Cr,VL COL, do they say they are backing you? Mr. Fonte: Well, I will tell you, thi:: is simple matter - members of the Latin Charr:her of Colrul«rce arc. i r; the Commission for the develop- ment of Little Havana. Now, 1 would ii}.e to know how the Latin Chamber of Commerce based their deciEiorl 1 have personally canvassed this 17th Avenue from oiie: end to rite- c,thu=r ar,d every one of the business owners over there are telling mu they do not want the widening of 17th Avenue. ld 82 APR 51984 0 Mayor Ferre: I don't know how to answer that. You would have to ask them, because I don't think we would know the answer to that. Mr. Fonte: Well, that is another question. Mayor Ferris: The question as to who makes the decision - Metropolitan Dade County makes t_he de(: s.ion. Mr. Fonte: This i.s not only a transit problem, this is also a social economic problem. tihat i_s going to happen to a11. those people who have no transportation, a11, of means of support., other_ than the area they live in is where they work. at. Who is aoi.nq to make arrangements for them? Who is going to make arrangements for the b;)siness owners? They will. have no parking arrangements whatsoever. There will, be no provisions for that because I have seen it in the County's plans. The County also expressed (inaudible) as a person - the - individual. who comes over to assess your property. A few people raised a beef: - it did not matter. They told them they had to place a bond with a. judge and we would have to qo, period. Mayor Ferre: Let me ask you a question. Do you like 8th Street? The lights and the bricks and the trees and the way it is developed? Mr. Fonte: It is not that I like it. It is allowed to exist, it has parking and it is fluent... Mayor Ferrc. No, no, riot about that. My question is do you like what the City did to 8th Street? It is good? Mr. Fonte: yes, I think it is fine. Mayor Ferre: Do you like the way 22nd has been... Mr. Fonte: 1\o, I don't! Mayor Ferre: Do you like the way 27th has been done? Mr. .Fonte: 27th is a little ... yes. Mayor Ferre: Do you like Coral Way? Mr. Fonte: No, I don't. Mayor Ferre: You don't like Coral Way? Let me tell you, I think Coral Way is improved and I think some of the things that we have done to improve it is good, unfortunately... Mr. Pont(--: Well, I think trees and all that is nice, but you have got to eat first. Mayor Ferre:.... the problem is it is impossible to improve Flagler Street or 6th Street or Coral Way or 27th or 22nd or Grand Avenue or 62nd Street or- N. W. 7th Avenue without breaking up the street, and laying sewer- pip�c-s and making sidewalks. Mr. Font.L: tde arm not tal}ring about breaking up the street, Mayor. We are talking ab�->ut fife it c, alter -native ways to conduct this without affecting the people V,'iiu to live in the area! Mayor Ferre: hobociy i,r:s yet ir;vented a way to make omelets without breaking the eggs! And if they could, we could build a street and without... Mr. Fonte: It is a matter of concern of corning out and saying developers, or is it the County's interest, or is it the people who are going to break up the streets? Whose interest is priority? Id 83 APR 51984 Mayor Ferre: Obviously, you know what my position is and I have taken this position consistently in everyone of these projects that have come up. Mr. Fonte: Are we goi.nq to have the same sit>>ation down there as we have in the northwest area of town, where tm have eery wide streets? Plenty traffic, but no employment, because all of the jobs had to move to the County? All of the employment places had to move to the County because there is no place to work - is that what we want now for southwest Miami? Is that we are waiting to do? Mr. Dawkins: The desire to widen .l7th Avenue in the name of progress may be a misnomer. I can cite to you three streets that were widened or beautified in the name of progress and the streets are now dead. - N. W. 12th Avenue, N. W. 7th Avenue and N. W. 62nd Street. N. W. 7th Avenue has no parking. Along came the Model City program. They took N. W. 62nd Street, closed the entrance at I-95 at 54th Street and opened one on 62nd Street-. They created a median, but the street is still dead. They moved to widen 62nd Street caused the people who lived on 62nd Street to move someplace else. Now you have got a big pretty street in Ntd.Miami called 62nd street (Martin Iauther King Blvd.. and now in the name of progress you want to widen 17th Avenue. At S. W. 17th Avenue and S. W. 3rd Street there is a church. If you widen the street, where will the people at the church park? Across the street from the church there is a place called My Market Grocery Store. The grocery store has no parking. I was there this morning. Directly behind the grocery store is an apartment building. For tenants they have got 34 parking spaces behind"My grocery store". All 17 or .34 parking spaces belong to the apartment building that is back there. There are also two apartments at 301 and 311 on 17th. If you widen the street, the people at these two apartments will step from their house right on the sidewalk. There is another place called the Bon Bon Bakery right on the corner. The Bon Bon Bakery has got three parking spaces behind. If you widen the street, they will have no place to park. On 4th Street west, you have got the Fl. Grocery. It has a hardware store and a lumber yard. If you do that, they have no place to park. It is my opinion that in two or three years, if you widen 17th Avenue as you say we are going to do now, you will have another 62nd Street, or N. W. 17th Avenue. And my concern is, if the County is so interested in the widening of 17th Avenue, I have just as much of a problem going from 36th Street to the bridge as you have on the other side, and nobody is talking about widening 17th Avenue, from 36th Street south to the bridge. Mayor Ferro: All right, other questions or other statements? Mr. Plummer: Well, I want to ask. Mr. Powell a question. Mr. Powell, there is no question that you will be eliminating many, many parking spaces, which is at best, approximately 100 from just Flagler to 8th. What responsibility does the County have to provide parking for those businesses? Mayor Ferro: Well, to my knowledge, it doesn't have any. Mr. Plummer: In other words, the County doesn't take a position... in other words, these people, anybody's business has to depend on parking, there is no if's, and's and but's about it. Now, what is the County going to do to replace that parking which they are elimi- nating. Mr. Powell: To the best of my knowledge, there has never been an obligation on any public body to replace parking that is eliminated in the construction of•a street. The construction of streets is for the movement of traffic, not for the parking of businesses, or residential. Mr. Plummer: Well, can you answer the man how he is going to do business without parking? APR 51984 id Mr. Powell: I can't answer that, but I don't think it is the respon- sibility of the Ccunty to provide that. I can't answer that. Mr. Plummer.: Yet, the man has to do business. Mr. Powell, unless you can tell mQ som-thing, ancf T Yeali.i.e the si!gnificancE of my vote. I came here to :ote ant to tell you, unless � T you can tell me in some manne - h04'• - •ancl _i. N:e ant to tr"ll you 1.7th Avenue is horri.},l_a as far as }111t T C?:snot sit here and vote to put al-1 t}lose people out of bll.-i.nes ! That i actually what you are doing. You take my skinny friend back there, at Bon Bon Bakery, okay? without parking, that man, and he he has none - he has like two behind the bakery - he is out of business! He is OUT of business! Thy cannot survive on a walkup type of busi- ness. (INAUDIBLE COMMENT) Mr. Plummer: Sir, you have made your argument - let me make mine. Now, Mr. Powell, unless you can tell me that either one, you are going to put parking back, or two, that you are going to provide the proper parking, I can't sit here and vote to put those people out of business. I am just ai.vi_ng you a very honest ct:atement, sir. Mr. Powell: Conunissioner Plummer, I cannot give you that assurance because that is not true. There is a four lane street out there now but with parking on the sides, it provides two lanes of traffic. There is no sense to spend all of the money to provide another four lane street and put parking on there and still have two lanes of traffic. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Powell, I couldn't agree with you more, sir. ® Mr. Powell: 17th Avenue is an arterial road. As you say, it is heavily traveled. Unless something is done to that, people are going to find other ways to get through the community and that means they are going to be on the residential streets - the only thing I _ can say is, this street is in the road program at the request of the City of Miami, and if the City of Miami doesn't want the street completed, I am sure we can find other areas for the funds. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Powell, you missed my statement completely, sir. I didn't in any way suggest that parking had to qo back n a four lane road. },'hat I and saying sir, you could acquire additional. property for parking, or parking structures, or some way to provide parking. You see, I have mixed emotions. I think the street has to be widened. There is no question about it, but I also feel there is an obligation when you take away parking, that you must provide parking so that these people can stay in business, but that is just my feeling, sir. Mr. Powell: ;fell., I am sorry, I am not aware of any, at least legal obligations to do that. Mr. Plummer: Thank you, sir. Mr. Cather: SPI•-14, which is the Latin Quarter commercial -residential, calls for some changes in the zoning of some of those lots and it will help alleviate the problem because-, we are taking into consideration parking 1>roblels, which is problematic in that area, os we are worK ing orl that ancC it will Ca11 Joy soli,e zonenq c}-ianges.

All I could do is this. Mayor Ferre: There is a second. Further discussion? APR 51984 Mr. Gary: I've been informed by Staff that as a part of the Little Havana Development Authority Latin Quarter project, that we got $400,000 from the Federal Gover.nmont which wn have expended on various road im- provements and that: this was part, or the Grant, and if t.7e ann't do this, we have got to pay $400,000 hack to the gpvernmerlt. Mayor Ferre- Mr. Manacter, the Corltmi.ssoner's motion zecr>mrnrncl=d that we do it. We just asl:_ed Dade County to take certain things into consideration, so as I understand it, the motion is a poslive motion. Is that correct? Mr. Plummer: Well, it is tied, Mr. Mayor. It is tied, it is a two part motion. One, we want a new widened street, but two, we want them to be mandated to replace the parking that they eliminated. Mayor Ferre: Well, I will. vote with that motion, but please realize we have no final_ authority,, Mr. Plummer: Okav, if that is ... I really want to beat them in the head, but I can't do that. Mayor Ferre: You don't have a hammer with which to do it on this, so the word now is "urge", is that correct? Mr. Plummer: Urge. Mayor Ferre: Further discussion of the urge? Call the roll. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Plummer, who moved its adoption. MOTION NO. 84-383 A MOTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION GOING ON RECORD THAT THEY FULLY APPROVE THE WIDENING OF S.W. 17TH AVENUE, BUT URGING I4ETROPOLITAN DADE COUNTY TO ASSUME THE OBLIGATION THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE PARKING IN FRONT OF AREAS BUSINESSES WHICH ARE BEING ELIMINATED ON ACCOUNT OF SUCH WIDENING.

Mr. Williams: We sent a letter to the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan and to the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Bill Lehman, through the representatives here in Congress - Mr. Bill Lehman and also Mr. Claude Pepper. As you can see, our response from the Navy is that perhaps they will send us a ship from the Atlantic Fleet to participate in our exposition and that ship will highlight the contributions the Blacks have made in the defense of the United States. That is my presentation. Thank you. Mayor Ferre: All right, tor. Manager, first to you sir - the Adminis- trations recommendations on this? Mr. Gary: Mr. Mayor, we are not able to give a recommendation at this time, because we still need some additional information from Mr. Williams as it relates what he plans to do with this funding so we can determine the cost of this thing before we can make a recommendation. Mr. Plummer: A1r. Mayor, how do these things get on the agenda? Mayor Ferre: Nobody pays attention to the City of Miami Commission's ruling that none of these things are to be put on the Agenda without the City iIanaFer's recommendation. (NOTE: Comments follow regarding presentations and requests to be reviewed by Staff before being placed as agenda item to come before City of Mimi Commission) Mayor Ferre: All right, Mr. Manager, I think any Commissioner has a right to request an item to be put on discussion but I do think that if it is put on the Agenda rather than as a pocket item, that it is the responsibility of the Administration that if it is not ready to make a recommendation to withdraw it until it is ready to make a recommendation. All right, Mr. Williams, you heard what the Manager said - we will see you again. The Manager says he is not ready to make a recommendation because he is missing information and when he has it lie can come back to us with a recommendation. 54.
