Mayor Ferret We're now on item number 2, which is an ordinance, second
reading, by Jackson Memorial Hospital to change zoning from R=4 and C-1
to GU.. This was moved previously by Plummer, seconded by Dawkins. This
is a companion item to number 3. Are there any opponents to this here?
Is there any discussion? Are the representatives present'
Mr. Richard Whipple: Some of them are, Mr. Mayoi, yes.
Mayor Ferret All right, are there any opponents or anybody who wishes to
discuss iten number 2 on second reading? If not, is there• a motion?
Mr. Carollo: So move.
Mayor Ferre: Moved by Commissioner Carollo. Is there a �.econd?
Mr. Dawkins: Second.
Mayor Ferre: Seconded by Commis: Loner Fawki.ns. Further discussion? Reid
the ordinanc Gall the roll.
Mr. Perez: Ar. Mayor, could I aFk him a question?
Mayer Ferre Hold on, yes.
Mr. Perez: Why was there such a delay in bringi;.g this item for a second
reading? I think that it was aPiroved on first reading en November, 1981.
Mayor Ferre The question is why, if it was approved on first reading on
November 19th, did you take such a long time?
Mr. Whipple: The deferral was that there was a law suit going on with
respect to the acquisition of the last Piece of property. That has since
been resolved. The occupant of that property did pass away. The attorney-,
and I believe the Law Department was involved, all has been satisfied in
accordance.
Mayor Ferre: Let me refresh your memory. You uty rememrer that Senator
Lee Weisenborn represented an elderly lady, who was very ill and she wanted
to die in the property she had been born and lived in all her life. Senator
Weisenborn pleaded with us not to press this isFue. The lady, as I under-
stand, has wince died; and the Jackson Memorial Hospital has since concluded
the purchas of property, and the matter is concluded. Is that correct?
Mr. Whipple Yes, sir.
Mayor Ferre I don't think that it's ?.eld back the construction plans in
any way thi . I recall. All right, we're on a vote now. Call the roll.

Mr. Plummer All right, Maurice, my onl, question has to be, as indica !d
on page 5.
Mayor Ferre: Page 5.
Mr. Plummer Items 23 and thereafter ar, sche(lultd for 5:00 P.M. I
question whether or not any items prior to 23 can be handled prior to
5:00 o'clock.
Mayor Ferre: Mr. Perez-Lugones, speak uj.
Mr. Perez-Lugones: Yes, at the beginnin}, of page 6, there ic-, a notatioi
that: 'the following non -Planning and Z(,ning items may be considered b-
the City Commission as time permits," which doesn't really put them
on a schedule of 5 o'clock.
Mayor Ferre: All right, Mr. Clark.
Mr. Robert Clark: That interpretation i correct, your Honor.
Mayor Ferre: All right, Mr. Clark, I ha e a question for you, sir. ON
the record I want to know if on a formal City of Miami Commission meeting
that is scheduled at 9:00 A.M., and them is subsequently another hour, Like
5:00 P.M., whether or not we're bound to wait until 5:00 P.M. to hear th�?se
items or can we take them, since there i! a notice in the agenda, that we
might take them before, can we take them before 5:00 P.M.?
Mr. Clark: The same principle applies, our Honor. If the public has teen
notified and informed that 5:00 P.M. is the time which the City Commissi)n will
consider it, then any action you take world be an-1 should take place at '):OU
P.M.
Mayor Ferre: Mr. Clark.
Mr. Clark: Same general rule, your Honor.
Mayor Ferre: I'll ask you the question tgain. Yr. Perez-Lugones says lrat
there is a note. Could you tell us what the note is again, Mr. Perez-LL;ones?
Mr. Perez-Lugones: It is at the beginniig of pa}�! 6, Mr. Mayor.
Mr. Clark: This represents, your Honor, a requirement by State law. T}at's
why you see those items on appearing on 23 through....

15 - )ISCU;;SION ITEM: SEI.ECTWN COMM11 rEE FOR CITY ATTu 011JY,
LNSTR1tC'T PREPARATION OF CEIRTIFIc., I'ES OF APPRECtATI IN,
Mayor Ferre: Now, wetre going to take up the ?ocket items, and I'd ike !:O
Just begin by publicly, George Knox, apologiz ng to you for what I think was
number one, probably a hasty over -reaction on my part. And se(ondll, what
I think the headlines, the story, as usual, i�t the Miami News kas accurate
and a good story, but the headline was a litti_e bit inflammatory in nature.
And I . just wanted to publicly apologize to y( t) even though 14 o think t1 at
you and I and all of us are political, but 1 !on't think the ctnnot<tion was
quite what it meant to be. And for those in he selection committee, I
might point out, that I atn certainly not goir ; to retract my_st atem(at and
my feelings that there were politics involved in that whole process. but I
must say out of fairness, that I don't say 0 it in a cajorativf way.
I don't think that the word politics is a nasty word. I think it's the oay
human beings function, and I think it'is not )nly reasonable but unterst;.ndable
that Cuban members, Cuban Bar Presidents woul 1 be ; nxiout• to make sire that
there would be a Cuban representation; and th.►t Black Bar President: would
want to make sure that there is a black repre•;entation, and so on. I think
that is understandable, and the fact that the-e arc personalities aid people
involved, that's just part of the process. Nti!vertl:eless, in spite if all of
that, may I say that I think that Mr. Knox, yiu an(, your committee, Dean
Mentschikoff, Dean Lewis, and tht, three Bar I'resid(nts of the bade 1,ar, of
the Black Bar, and the Cuban -American Bar, sl-!nt a great deal of title, effort.
Your deliberations were, I think. at a very high level. I just wanted to thank
you ;nd through you, your committee, for the very =ommendable job Vat you did.
Mr. Knox; Thank you, sir, and I'll let the imber! know.
Mr. 1:arollo: Mr. Mayor, I'd like to request if w ! cou1.1 POSE <bly take some
certificates of al preciation for a job well one t ) the member; of hat
committee, and at the next meeting provide i to ttem from the Comm.ssion.
Mayor Ferre: Fin(, all right.
Mr. Carollo: At the same time, if it's appropriate at this time, M.-. Mayor,
I'd like to make a request that since the cotin,ittee's job is done, _he final
recommendation has been given to us for some time now. If we could take up
the matter of selecting a new City Attorney iw.
Mayor Ferre: Well, I think Plummer wanted to speak to that. Let's see if
we can get Plummer back here. While Plummer .omes back in the roon-, let me
say that we do...
16 - DISCUS:10N ITEM: ESTABLISH JULY 2, 6 PM SPECIAL MEF ING (N
PROPOSI 1) CIIARTER CHANGES.
Mayor Ferre: Miller, you have a Charter Change Committee tha you have
appointed. And .Ioe, you were gong to appoint one and have nest yet.
Mr. Carollo; Ye:, Mr. Mayor, I ill get back to you on that ''.rat of next
week.
Mayor Ferro; We have a problem, My Charttet�.Coimnittee i 3 now cone uded and
1 have a report )ere from not Da rey Davis. .fro;a Stuart Simot.
JU424W&
Mt. +,:r,ro l,to : When do we have to snake a decision, so that,,,,?
Mayor l:ertet That's what I wanted to tal about. 1 have a report which I
will hand out to you, Stuart Simon promised to have it here by 9:30, Now
let me tell you what the problem is. Obviously wu cannot deal with it today
because of th,� five day rule. Plummer, these. are Chatter changes that I'm
talking about.
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Ferre: Let me finish.
Mr. Plummer: To the other subject.
Mayor Ferret Well, yes, but you know, we were wasting for you and I started
on something else, so let me finish what I'm saying now.
Mr. Plummer: All eight.
Mayor Ferre: On the question of the Chaster changes, the problem is that the
City Attorne has advised me that under state law, we must come to a conclusion
in the discu:4sion by July the 9th. If we do not come to a conclusion by July
the 9th, tec►inical.Ly we will not be able to put anything on the Charter in
November. N•w that sounds kind of far-frtched to me, and it's the fir -it tiniv
I've ever heard that, because usually it's 45 days before. Perhaps, George,
you can elab.rate :and explain why.
Mr. Knox: There is a recent Florida Supreme Court decision involved in the
Home Rule Powers Apt. Cities have been Mandated irrespective of their
Charter Prov sions and codes of ordinances to foliow procedures which are
set out in Home Rule Powers Act.. There is a prc--edure for a referendum
questions ani it's brand new, I mean thi•-; is virtsally the fi--st time that
we've operat d under those procedures.
Mayor Ferre: That really creates a time -constraint, because think it would
be sad to lc e an opportunity to address some veIy important issues and havo
the electors a of Miami make these decisions during this yeas. As you know,
we would ha,,! to wait until 1984 to chan4e anything else. IK that correct?
Oh, no! Th; is fcr a petition drive.
Mr. Knox: I ght.
Mayor Ferre: I'm sorry. Well, we could do it in '83. But think that gets
everything ;,I confused with City elections and what have yoi. The only tiring
— that we can Jo is, Miller, for you and .oe and those of you rho have your
committees, to ask that they accelerate a little bit, and perhaps ha-e a
meeting. Wield J,ily 9th be acceptable, George? Or would we have to do it
before July 9th?
Mr. Knox: No, July 9th would be all rir;ht. It's before the end of the day
on July 9th.
Mayor Ferret That's the last day we cast do it, right?
Mr. Dawkins: Well, Mr. Mayor, my commi.tee has reported bac� to me. I have _
no problems with one way or the other b.:cause we have said, and I will be
reporting back to you, that this is too grave an issue in our estimation to
be hurried into. If it means that we miss the 9th, then we miss the 9th
in,the hopes that we'll serve the City better than rushing into something.
That's my committee's opinion.
Mayor Ferre: I don't know what the majority of this Commission will vote,
Miller, but I thfnk these items are so important and we have• discussed thl%.,
and we have until November to discuss them, that 1 think that it's import:,l,t
if we can get three votes on this Commission to put these items for a voty
on the November election, which is five months from now. The problem is tisut
we need to deliberate so that we don't have the five day prc,blem, today being
the 24th, would call this meeting at any time after next Tutsday, please tf=ll
me what day would be best for any of you.

17 = DISCUSSION ITEM: ESTABLISH JUL', 2 AS DATE OF SEL;.CTION Ot `4FW
CITY ATTORNEY.
Mayor-Ferre: All right, now, Mr. Plummer while you were out of the room,
Joe Carollo was about to make a statement, and I said, since the item is
not a scheduled item, which is the deliberations of the Knox committee of
the recommendations for the selection of the City Attorney. I wanted you
to be present for the statement. So now Mr. Carollo, the chair will
recognize you again to make that stateme►t.
Mr. Carollo: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor, I think that we havE had
the committee's final recommendations anti the names and backgrounds of the
four finalists for the job of City Attor-iey. I think that now is the time
to pick our new City Attorney. The more that we wait to do this, tie more
detrimental it would be for the City. I would, for one, like to start the
process today and hopefully finish it today, of selecting a new City Attorney,
based upon the recommendations that the-ommittee that we appointed has given
to US.
Mr. Dawkins: Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Ferre: Yes, sir.
Mr. Dawkins: I too feel that this is timely and on time. But I do not...
I mean this is just my personal opinion ... do not feel that this is going to
be a one, tuo, or one,three shot deal. You have already stated that you
will only be here until 12:00 o'clock.
Mayor Ferre: Yes.
Mr. Dawkins: We do have a heavy agenda ahead of us that we should cry to
get out. We do have so items which the manager has said that he would like
for us to cover before you leave. So, in all respect to Mr. Carolla, I 'ust
do not believe that this date permits us the luxury of going into the
selection of the....
Mayor Ferre: All right, Mr. Plummer, do you want to make....
Mr. Plummer: Mr. M:;yor, I have read tht report of the committee. it was.
not a scheduled item, and I did e.ot think that it was comming up today. For
example, I have only had the opportunity at this date to meet with one of the
four finalists. I have an appointment tomorrow morning, tentatively, with
another one of the finalists. I received a call yesterday afternoon fro►a
another of the finalists asking for an <<ppointment. I would like to have
the opportunity to sit and to speak with all of the finalists prior to making
a vote.
Mayor Ferre: All right, Mr. Perez?
Mr. Perez: Mr. Mayor, I would like to suggest that we deliberate on. thi•;
i::::ue in the next special Commission me Ming on the 2nd of July.
Mayor Ferre: The consensus is that we aake the selection on the 2rd da>
of July. Does anybody have a problem with that?
Mr. Carollo: If that is the will of the Commission, no, Mr. Mayor
24
Mayor Petre: All right, then we will take that as the -first isiue that we
will discuss on the ?nd day of July.
Mr: Plummer: Mr, Mayor; I would like to add my wcrd to yours aid otbot-
members of the Commission in thanking Mr. Knox fot heading up w th obviously
is a very difficult committee, I think to wind it down to four and it
looks like this Commission is going to take a selection of one (f the four,
I think is a job that was very, very difficult to come about, bit it was done.
We placed our confidence in George and he has delivered► Althoigh, 1 would
like to say) Mr. Knoxr that in the future, l would like to stroigly recommend
that you remember that there is a difference in the coppertone 'attertes.
Kayor Terre: You don't have a pair of batteries to give to him do you?
Unidentified Sveaker: He dtd.
Kayor Ferre: He did, O.K. Now, we're still c i the pocket itett Sc, does
anybody have any pccket items at this point? t have a few. Al right,

Mayor Ferre: All right, we're back on pocket items.
Mr. Dawkins: Mr. Mayor, I have a pocket item.
Mayor Ferre: Yes, sir.
Ar. D:+wkins: My pocket item deals with the Sanitation Department.
,tayor Ferre: Yes, sir.
4r. Dawkins: In my opinion, there appea s to be a lot of effort t, prevent
-he Sanitation Department from becoming one of the better, if not the best,
;anitation Departments in the country. :very effort is made to see that
,he Police Department, the Fire Departme�it remain tops, and ue get praises
is these being the better departments in the country. But yet, every time
I loot. up, there is something going on ii the Sanitation Department to
prevent, in my opinion, the Sanitation D,?partment from functioning as it
should. Now I am told the Sanitation Department is going to do something
in the Sanitation Department that has never been done in any other department.
Clerks, custodians, and others are being promoted to supervio-,ory positions.
I do not recall where any clerks, custodians, or anyone else in the Police
Department or the Fire Department has been promoted to a supervisor in those
departments. Again, in my opinion, this is an effort either to discredit
the union or bust the union. This is my personal opinion. By showing
union members that the Administration could care less about working cooperatively
with the union to have a smooth operation. This is one department where
most, if not all the employees, reside in the City of Miami. Yet, I
constantly see efforts to lay people off, curtail benefits, and in general
keep the department in a state of turmo;l. Mr. Manager, I wn sure you mist
support the position taken by your admii,istrators. If you g'.ve a person the
autl,o rity to run a department, you must also give that perso,t the flexibility
to -in the department as they see fit. I have observed that most of the
pro!tems in the Sanitation Department c.,me from negotiation aroce:.ses fo
a c-ntract. Mr. Manager, when you nego iate, the City usually codes out
wit a fair vehicle to work from. When others in your Department charges
wit the duties of negotiating contracts, ever since I've been here, it's
beef one: hastle after the other, But I'm going to tell you now p•iblicly,
tha- at your next evaluation I will look heavily for evaluating you on tie
way the people whom you have in the positions have performer. What. I'm
saying to you, Mr. Manager, if a person is not an asset to you, a,,fl you
keep him on as a liability, then I shall do my best to punit:h you Tha0
you.
Mr, Carollo; Miller, I normally would )e a little outspokei in tiis sl-uatloit,
but under the circumstances, I don't wait anybody to accuse rate of tryin). to
get rid of the Sanitation Director alsc. So, I'll just livt with my totiments

1 = CONGRATULATING GUSTAVO GODOY UPON BEING
NAMED EXECUTIVE 14EW HANAGER FOR THE SPANIS INTERNATION, t
11ETWO1ut.
Mayor Ferre: Any other pocket items? I have three. One is ":alum to
America" and Mr. Solomon Yuken, the Manager of the Colomb,,is Hotel, and
Virginia Godoy, of Metropolitan Dade County, are Moth her.. Atd before
you make your presentation to Mrs. Godoy, may I take this opportunity
through you, to officially commend your husband for being elevEted, as
he was recently to being News Director for Spanisi, International Network,
which is an organization, as I understand it, has 160 television outlets
in this country and reaches close to 20 million people, sc I tl.ink this
is a major achievement for all of us in Miami. We are very proud of your
husband. We just wanted to make that statement through you to him.
As a matter of fact, I really think we should pass a reso.ution. I
think we ought to pass two resolutions, if one of you would make that offer.
One is commending Gustavo Godoy, for being made News Manager o` Spanish
International Network. Would someone make that motion?
Mr. Carollo: So move, Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Ferre: All right, it's been moved by Carollo.
Mr. Perez: I second.

22 - EXTE111) WELCOMI; TO SPANISH INTERNAIIONAL INETkORK FOR ITS DECISION
TO REJ OCATr ITS Ntlis f.EADQUA iTERS TO MIA'41
Mayor Ferre: The second motion that I'd like to make is commending
Spanish International Network for deciding to move their news headquartfrs
from Washington, D.C. to Miami, Florida. I think this is one of the moFt
important breakthroughs in the communication business for this communit,
that has happened. I am amazed that it hisn't received any more publici�y
than it has. I know that the News and tie Herald covered it, but certa aly
not at the 1,.!vel of the importance of what has happened. To put it in ,noth er
way, this is as if ABC were to decide to move, and don't laugh about it
because Spanish International Network ha3 a market of 20 million people
Mr. Carollo: They certainly do.

Mr. golomon (Cont'd) ... downtown hotel group, thv Downtown Miami husinessmen's
Association, the Dade County Department of Tourism, and the City of Miami Office
of Visitora and information. It is composed of a aeries of festivals to be held
through the calendar year, celebrating Independence Day, or a special national
holiday of the Forth American, Latin American and Caribbean
countries. The first festival will be in the United States, Independence
Day and the Venezuelan Independence Day Celebrations will be held July 2nd
through July 4th and the second, the Jamaican Independence Day duly 23rd
through July 25th. We feel that it is in the best interest of our State
and local governments to show our neighboring countries that were grate-
ful for the friendship they have shown towards Dade County during the past
decades by.becoming an integral part of our community, by frequently visit-
ing our cities and by making us the largest exporters in both tonnage and
dollars in the United States. This joint effort will show to the govern-
ments and people of the Latin American and Caribbean countries that they
will always welcome as American brothers and sisters by our community and
that Dade County is coming of age as an international %:,,.ty through its resi
dents, culture and commerce. We respectfully request from the City Commis-
sion for the first two festivals which are the United States and Venezeula
on July 2nd, 3rd and 4th and the Jamaican festival which will be Tuly 23rd,
24th and 25th, the following: $10,000 seed money-, showmobiles of the Rec-
reation Department, the closing of the streets f!om Biscayne Boulevard to
3rd Avenue on Friday, on Flagler and on Friday f-cm 9:00 A.M. until 9:00 P.11.
and the whole Flagler Street after 6:00 P.M. on Iiiday► Saturday and Sunday
That is for the two festivals and we also need ti-t Police presence for
traffic purposes and s-:curity purposes during fe: .ival hours. Those are
the items.
Mr. Plummer: Question. Who is going to pay for he Police?
Mayor Ferre: Well, he's asking you for it. Whai in e`fect he is saying, a.
I understand, as you see, they have a committee 1 !re sponsored by the Downtown
Business ASsociation. They've gotten from the Cc inty -s commitment of $10,0
per celebration. Right?
Mr. Yukon: Per festival, right.
Mayor Ferre: Now, obviously we cannot match that, I mean we can't even comf
close to that and I think they've got what, 8 or 9 this year?
Mr. Yukon: We have 8 this year.
Mayor Ferre: So that's $80,000 and so what they're asking us to eo is to
pitch in and help them a little bit. I met with them, J. L., and I told
them that we just cannot match the County, we're talking about a smaller
amount, I think trey were. asking for how much?
_ Mr. Yukon: $10,0c0.
Mayor Ferre: For the Thole thing. You're going to pay for the police,
they understand that trey're paying for the police.
Mr. Yukon: We need some police for traffic and we're going to pay for 5
policemen within the festival area.
Mayor Ferre; The administration has been working on that, helping them, so
that there is not an overburden on the police, you know, so that if what
they really need is 4 policemen they don't have to have 15.
Mr. Gary: 10 police, they're going to pay for 5 and we're going to give 5.
Mayor Ferre; Okay, so is there a motion?
Ki . r unriner; So move.
Mr. Pere:; 1 second.

Mr. Steve Parsons: My name is Steve Parsons, I'm the executive director and
founder of the PACE Organization, co -producer of the Big Orangc Festival.
We're making our annual appearance once again before the City cf Miami C:)m-
mission to request support similar to last year's support of $15,OCO in sup-
port of. o ,r Big Orar— Festival. This will be the 5th Annual Fig Orange
Festival, over the three years, in fact, we have eceived support from
the City to the exto.,° of $25, 000. The Festival was a four mor th festi.,11.
this year, it started in February and ended ir. May, it had well over 15(
events, it had two sell -out concerts with B. F. King, two sell-outs wits. Gato
Barbieri .1nd Miami Sound Machine, a concert with John Lee Hooker, John F:immor,
at Gusmar, and a performance with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.....
Mayor Ferre; Steve, we know you have great orchestras and great. present,tion
but the nut of the issue is this: You're here asking for $25,600, You :ame
to :ee me yesterday and I told you to show up today. Why can't you go througi
the proce are like everybody
Mr. F'arso We've been receiving, last year we were bounced tut of thv• proc:t
bec,use o the line item appropriation that we receivers in the two previous
yeas hef re that we were asked to just go to the.,,.

r
Mr. PatS )ns: Okay, much of our eltpenses, especially this year, w-.� have
A specially created portion of the festival which is a marketing -0fnpoh(.t1t
which is to turn the festival now after five years into a tourist genetot-
ing evet,t tathet than a tourism sati!,fying event. Because of the inter-
national and national marketing that we need to do, we need front ehd fLlds
that-att supposed to be coming in the: early part of the summer rather than
late as received in the past.
Mayor Ve:•re: Okay, Steve, what is your yearly budget?
Mr. Parsons: The yearly budget of the organization is about 1.2 trillion
dollars.
Mayor Ferre: 1.2 million dollars, it is without any question one of the
most successful nuzic series in the country, is that correct?
Mr. Parsons: I elieve so.
Mayor Ferre: An; you make your presentations before. the Cuban corimunit},
the Black commun ty, senior citizens, children in school, explain that so
that we can get hat on the record.
Mr. Parsons: We 1, we just came back from New Orltans and in New Grlean;
there is a plagt by Louie Armstrong that says there is no Black, Latin,
:reen, Jewish, t itian, there's no kind of music, there's only two kinds of
rusic, good musi and bad music; and we work with all the communities, a3 +
matter of fact the organization is a multi -ethnic agency and our program-
ming philosophy s as such.
Mayor Ferre: Ok y, so the question, Mr. Manager, is ... Mr. Manager, the
problem is becau a of the time constraint on PACE they need to kind of know
whether we're go ng to be there or not and I hate to by-pass the established
committee and I', sure Mendez will be all upset with me and all that but the
problem is that hey really have a time constraint. Do you have any obj:c-
tions to that?
Mr. Gary: Mr. Mayor, I have no objections and we think PACE has a good pro-
gram. What I wcild re_ommend though, however, is that if you approve it
today that staff be instructed to send a letter to the Festival Ae�;.sc
Committee expla-5 ing t.) them the position of the City Commission.
Mayor Ferre: YE , anc I think it. would only he in principle and ,.bject to
negotiations wit you for any requirements that you would have. want to
make sure that a en trough I know we are, but I want to make sure that ou
document that we re getting mere than our fair share. I know tha. the ajor-
ity of these cot erts.... How many concerts do you have a year?
Mr. Parsons: We do 1,370 concerts a year.
Mayor Ferre: YE., I know that the majority of there concerts are in t1: City
of Miami, but I !ant to make sure that that is properly documentei and %hat
you're satisfied that the Black community and the Cuban community and tite
senior citizens ind tle children are getting their fair share of -these presen-
tations.
Mr. Gary: Yes, 'r. Mayor.

_ as the Chairman of Hispanic Heritage Festival week. Last. year Merc, Miranc:a
of the Miami Herald was the chairperson and we have been the sponsoring orr:an-
ization of an international Hispanic song festival that culminates in a tw(
hour live televised program from Miami. This will be the fourth year that
this festival and the TV portion of it will be from Greater Miami. OTI is
an organizationof international television stations. You have heard earlier
the magnitude of their thrust throughout mainly the Hispanic, portLg31, Spain,
Central and South America and unbelievably, the 5,000,000 Hispanics in America
who observed this particular show last year. The objc:tive is to bring
together the winners of competitions that are conducts-3 throuchout the Hispanic
world dealing t4ith recognition in direct competition :pf song writers, those
who produce the lyrics and the singers. This produces a two lour Extravaganza
concentrated on the artistic and cultural aspects of the Hispanic creative
song community. What does it do for Miami? Well, ter: minute! of this partic-
ular presentation is dedicated solely for our opportunity to Promote the bus-
iness and the to,irism and the economic aspects of the Greater Miami Area. I
have no idea, there is no one here from Channel 23 and Television industry,
how much this is worth. This is a $40,000 shortfall this yeas because the
Council of Arts and Sciences could not fund it. They have funded it for the
last three years, The Council of Arts and Sciences yesterday through the
great help of Commissioner J. L. Plummer who served on their appeals committee
granted $37,500 to complete the Hispanic Heritage package. We do not have
the funds, we have been the sponsoring vehicle for.....

good to these guys and I know that they hold fiese things in Miami Beach because
they can't find space over here, but we've got a lot of empty hotels now, we've
got the Holiday Inn having troubles rn Bricke]1 Avenue and they've got a lot of
big rooms there and we've got rooms all over the place. The only way that i
want to vote for it is on the condition that they hold this in Miami because
before now*they hal excuses, I under--tand the excusers, they couldn't find...
They had to hold is at the Fountainb'eu Hotel because there was nobody big
enough t) hold them. Well, we've go' hotels ever here now big enough to hold
them.

#6. This is A. C. Investments, Inc. The Department recommended a denial, the
Zoning Board recommended approval 7 to 0. All right, will the Department give
us an explanation as to why they recommended a denial. Is the applicant here?
Are the opponents here":Are there any opponents, prol.,nients, who is opposed?
Is anybody against Item 6? This is at 3200 North Miari Avenue, they want to
change it from R-2 to C-5. All right, the administrat,on.
Vx. Richard Whipple: Mr. Mayor, this is a request of change of zoning from
R to C-4 which starts an encroachment into the resicential area. We believe
the lot, that this enc:oachment would be detrimental to the residential area
anc on that basis recorimended denial. There are other alternative ways that
this site could be used, it could be used for Conditic gal Use Parking which
would not be as objectionable as perhaps a C-4 or C-5 se and would be more
corpatible with the neighborhood and on that basis we' a recomm..ending denial
of this change of zoning.

Mr. Sherman Crawford: Good morning, Mr. Mayor, Commissioners, my name is
Sher -man Crawford, my o:fices are at 2801 Ponce de Leon This matter has
been before this Commission several months ago when we convinced this com-
mission to move an alley that was located in the back ;-hird of this property
to the western edge. the diagram that you're looking .it is not accurate in
that where parcels #9 end 28, 28 being the yellow portion x'ed out, the alley
that is indicated sepa~ating lots 1 through 8 and lots 9 and 28 has been
moved and is now on th,° western edge of lots 9 and 28. Now, we requested
that move for the purpise of having a contiguous piece of property in which
we could conduct busin.!ss and we spent extensive time going out into the com-
munity to discuss this matter with the residents and received their enthus-

JUN 2 41982
Mayor Ferret No, and boy, I'll tell you you don' have thy Vott.
Mi. Dawkins: 'That's fight, you just wait:
M : Crawford: Commissioner Dawkins, may f explai , pleast7
M . DAwkins: No need to explain,
M Crawford: At that time we explained that we c:esired to pa•k vehicles on
t:,at property which is exactly what we wish to do.
M— Dawkins: At that time you swindled the, at that time you swindled me into
going along with you and I'm not going along with you again because if you
wire wrong that time with me and you misjudged you! intentions then you will
m.sjudge them again. I distinctly asked you before I voted fo- the closure
o that alley if you intended to develop that property and the answer was no:
M:. Crawford, Mr. Commissioner, our intentions all along as brought before
the people in the Planning Department, we have been working fo- two years
of this project to attempt to park vehicles in a secure environment. At
t.e recommendation of the planning Department and the officials of th,s City
wt! requested and obtained the alley closure. We were told at that time or
were led to believe at that time that we could erect a security fence of
sufficient height to secure vehicles in this business. Now, you yourself
h.ve been on the property, I know other members of this Commisnion have bees
oi: the property. What we had requested then aid what we request now is the
right to construct and enclose a parking facility. In front of you, as part
of this application, you will find the plans. We have, at the direction of
Vie Zoning Board which recommended approval of this by a vote of 7 to nothing,
oe have promulgated and submitted to the City's zoning attorney a restrictive
c 3venant to limit the development of this. Ali we want to do ;s put an en-
c ,osed parking garage in there so we :an have' security. Now, ' migt.'t poin•:
c rt to the members of this Commission that when we brought this matt�.r before
tree Zoning Board it was in exactly the same circumstances of a two-s-:ep
f-ocess, once coming forth with the ai.ley moving and now coming forth for %he
z ning change that we have here. Noy that board approved it 7 to nc hing.
I might point out that one of the proponents who was present,'ie wat unable
tc be here, was Mr. Jose Mendez who has workec very closely wi:h tht owner
of the property and the man that has -equestec this and enthusiastically
e,adorsed this as part of the Wynwood :,ark Devc.lopment. Corporation of which
is executive director. Now, his endorsement was based on his contact in
,e community and the feelings of the individuals affected in -_hat area. We
a e not trying to turn this into a commercial area, we have been told by the
C ty Attorney as well as becoming more knowle,geable about the law involved
t"-,at this is the only way we can put an enclo-ed garage.
M . Dawkins: Mr. Mayor, I move that we follow the recommendation o the
P anning Department and deny this application.
Mayor Ferre: All right, there• is a motion on the flocs row. Is there a
st cond to the motion of denial? Is there a sc cond? h,!11 I would : ike to
h..ve this item deferred so I can personally gc out the-e and look ai this
and I would like somebody from the Department to go ou. there with lie. I
w,nt to tell you right now that my vote is no but obvi:usly there i•s no
second here and I'm not going to press it any more but I want to pu': it —I
t':e record so that you don't have any doubt wlere I st.nd. I think you
p ayed a subtrefuge on this Commission, I thick what y.)u did i3 wrong,
w en I go out there I'll let you know, you ca:: go out --here with me.
M . Crawford: I would like that opportunity, Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Ferre: And you convince me as to the righteousn-ass of t1is whole
t ing, is there a motion for deferral?
M Knox: Mr. Mayor, this is a motion for a continuation of this item?
M Ill urruicer : For more information.
M yur Ferre: I need to go out there first to loop at it and I need more in
f, ,rmatiort so I would like to vontinue this item to l the next zoning ,meeting
ia.rcl MX. Whipple, would you make an appointment for me to go wi":h somebody in
t uepdrtment and to let the proponents know when I'm goiklg to he out here
i can actually go out thertt ,and look att this? And let an other me^u"ers
u the commission that went to. (*ay , call tie roll.

M�. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, I want to ask a question on 7. We had another thing,
M•. Pere:-, about the alley closure that you said was a court order.
M . Gary: We did that.
M . Plummer: Yes, I know we aid it, but doesn't that affect this part ::ular
p.ece of property? What I'm .saying is I think the thing needs to be ri.!iewed
a-; it now relates to that court order situation.
M. Aurelio Perez-Lugones: Mr. Plummer, my understanding is that the Ching
p-ople were the ones who took the proponent of the plat to court and t!ey won.

Avenue.
Mr. Plintuner: Have you got any photos of this this g?
AT THI:', POINT PHOTOGRAPHS WERE DISTRIBUTED TO THE CITY COMMISSION
Mr. Bucelo: Basically what we are seeking is a variance from OrdinancE 6871
which states that you treed a minimum of 20 feet frontage for the erection of
,c i'il-v frame -type- canvas carport which is what we wou] i like to place here.
Now, Jwlore you, Vice -Mayor Carollo has in front of hi i pictures showing,
ii4 1a•1, the type of carport that we initially constru7ted there and were
turc:ed to remove, Basically I don't see any eticroachnsnt, any hinderance
or any sort with the neighbors, as a matter of fact, on the east side of
that pi-operty there is a 7 foot fence which block�ps�, any View of that c rpart
because I believe the objections writ no value Whatsoever, is thus that
we requeit the Commission to allow us to place the carport at the residence
located -it 6527-5529 N.W, 3rd Street which in a duplex, one On the past eidr_

aid e. Regarding the €ront age faotage, we wQ�tic1
not meet the 20 feet requirement but we would be Weil within 19-12 feet
f!om the sidewalk, tin the east aide we're well withir4 the 7 feet 5 inch 4
,rt uirement, the west aide is opplroximately 2 fact
_i1 �1 ,4;
Mr. plumm-2r: Mr. Mayor, you hit it right on the head, the comment of the
Mayor is "The same old problem". Mr. Mayor, 'in for; let me just speak.
Personally I am involved in a similar situation. When I moved recently I
had a carport at my old house which I wanted .o move to my new house. I
found out "No can do", "too can do" because I don't meet the se*back problem.
Mayor Ferte: Do you wart a variance?
Ilr. Plummer: Do you think I'm going for a variance? You're crazy. Then
et me tell you what happened. I got in my czar with that in mind and I
started driving around. Now, whether these things in this community are
existing legally or not, there are literally thousands of these carports
in this community which I guarantee you do no. meet the Code. Some are very
small little incidental things that are a pie2e of canvas and a pipe, and I
think they are very dangerous because they don't meet the South Florida
Building Code, obviously, to some very elaborate made out of aluminum and
done in a very nice way. Then I look around this community further and I
find that in'our Zoning Code, and this was brought out within a half a
block of my house, will allow people to put a swimming pool in the front
yard right almost to the property line, if not to the property line, legally.
Ii and around the Orange Bowl I drove through that area as I go to work, wil2
allow people to park in the front yard, the 20 foot setback legally. But
y!t, we say to them yes, you can park your cars there legally but no, you
cin't put up anything to protect your car from the sun. Mr. Mayor, I have
m, personal biases because I don;.t iiKe to gev into a hot automobile. I
don't like my car being exposed to the elements But let me say to you
trat this community has got to make a decision and that decision has go'.
t) be if it's not good for the community and :_t's not good for the overall
then I think we need to hire a couple hundred inspectors to go out and try
and enforce the rule. I think that we've got to do something because what
is existing today is a hodge-podge, not enforceable as from what I can see,
an.1 a law that's not enforceable is not a law. 1 think, Mr.. Mayor, we
need to look at this overall situation. I knew that U ese peolle are n;a.
happy with that and that's, of course, but all I'm say ng to ytu is there
is a problem in this community, whatever it i:s it need to be straightened
out and a decision has to be made one way or .another. I am only one speak-
ing that knows the problem from a personal standpoint.
Mayor Ferrf: All right, any other comments from members of the Commission?
Mr. Carollo: Yes, Mr. 4ayor, there certainly is on th s matter. In fact,
it brings to mind of sc-ne months back this is a topic :hat I touched briefly
wi-h the City Manager that I was looking to bring it c) to the Commission
in the form of an ordirance so that these type of cart )rts could become
le(:al according to our law and not need the feet that :hey need either way -
20 in front and 5 on the sides. The truth of the mat•er is that there is
no a single street in the City of Miami that you can walk by that you don't
ha-e scores of these types of carports, every single street iT Miami. In
fa t, recently I went to one street where an individu 1 was putting up a
fe,ice with no apparent permit anywhere and the carpor, that he was placing
within just a feet of the sidewalk was a full concret, pillar with a tar
ro-if over it carport, and our inspectors certainly dic-:'t seem to care. Now
this is a structure, mind you, that in another year they could just put
br-cks around it and pnt a door and a window and they've got another room,
no'hing near like what these people want to put out with just a very simple
fr,me carport that can be taken down immediately. I feel embarrassed that
these people were singled out out of thousands of people in the City of
Miami and that they even have to be here today in order to ask for a variant
I for one am more than willing to give them a variance today and go further
but I would like an ordinance drafted by the City Attorney's office so that
carports of this nature like they have here and the aluminum type which is
tby usher: type that cal be removed easily, can become legal up to the prop-
erty line. Thesis, min, you, are only temporary structures. I think that
when you have a .law th t is not enforceable, a law that is bad for the com-
munity then that law should be removed and unless the majority of the mem-
bers of the Commission feel differently about it than I do, I For one am
willing to make a motit,n to approve this variance and the minute the City
Attorney has an ordinance drafted with the conditions that I listed, 1'll
bring it up and I'll mike the motion that that ordinance be placed into
effect in the. City of iiami, I'll make the motion on the variance they're
requesting.
Mayor Ferre: Is there a second?
Mr. Plummer: Mr. !$ayo , I'm sorry, I Want tp second jt becaust I can't

I
because he has included this one, okay? I think that if we'te goi.tg to
do it and do it ptoperly we should hold this ,ne in abeyance, just :told
it in abeyance u itil this (natter has been ret- i ewed 1-icause I see an )thee
problem here that's not being said. Okay? And I think that we're took-
ing at: a spite wall that is involved in this hing o ui, you know, t;iat
chahgi�s matters .ompletely.
Mayor Ferree You can see that there. All ric ht, look, I havr to c)ncur
with Commissione• Carollo that I thin) that U is is appropriate. Cz the
other hand, I cc•�cur with Plummer that this is hot the way to do it. You
can't just singi shot something that right new is wrong, what we have to
do is change the law so that people who want o put up carports can put
up carports.
Mr. Ci.rolloe Ma. I ask this of the Law Department, can they tring _his
back to the Commission on time so that we can approve the ord44nance in
time hefore.our August recess? In other word I do-t't want tc have to
come lack after the August recess so that the we c z approve it.
Mr. Terry Percy: The ordinance you're sugges ing, :)mmissioncr, wcild have
to go before the Planning Advisory Board and hat is- probably a mir:imum of
30 to 45 day process. So what you could do i effe-tively not purge this
particular violation until legislation is in lace o remedy it and grand-
father this and other properties.
Mr. Ci-rollot How soon can you get this befor the Ilanning Board, Ar. Perez?
Mr. Perez-Lugones: I would say, Commissioner. that July 21 will be the
date for the Planning Advisory Board Meeting.
Mr. Carollo: Is that the next time Vey meet,
Mr. Perez-Lugone:: It is not the next time t.ey me t, but we need -ime t.
draft it and these has to be a workshop with he P1 nning Advisory 3oard
and then it is fcrmally presented to the Plan ing A visory Board.
Mr. Carollo: So the earliest that you could eally put this into effect
would be the July 21st Meeting.
Mr. Perez-Lugones: Vat is correct, sir.
Mr. Carollo: Well, I guess we can't do it before A:gust then.
Mr. Plummer: Jo(, let me go one step further I d- feel that it is more
than just the Lai: Depe,rtment drawing up an oriinance. I think we have got
to have the input. of the Planning and Zoning )epartnent becau:;e (1) I, fo►-
one, want to make sure that those rules and regulations that would apply
are first and foremost a safety standard that we're not going to see a
freak storm as we had the other day with the 70 mile an hour -ind and it
becomes a projectile going down the street. ;econd of all. I wou16 want to
have some assurances from the Department that in the manner is would be
placed would not be conducive, as Joe said, t) put more brick; around it
and suddenly on a weekend it becomes another -oom.
Mr. Carollo; We:l, I think the only way we could accomplish :hat :s by
applying this to only temporary structures arl define what we mean by the
temporary structures, the frame type....
Mr. Plummer: But it has to be defined.
Mr. Carollo; Yes, the aluminum type.
Mr, Plummer; Yes, it has to be defined.
Mr. Carollo: Which axe the only two kinds reilly, that we see in lie com-
munity that are temporary structures.
Mayor Ferre; W am, we're going to mayle hea. this if it gets to t point
whcre we're going to vote on it, I don't thine were going to Vote on this
particular issue the vay this is going. All right, now as 1 ,mderitand
wh+lt is happening hev is that we approve in -);incipie the i•d,.a wi;h
proper constraints ant safeguards for safety reasons the idea of people
be i ntl able to put cart ports . We have to 90 t� coucjh a legal procedu rp doing

Mayor Ferre: If I were your next door neighbor it wc.tld be a hell of =i
m.jor factor for me if you put up wood picket fence, you know, �,id I'm
sire you wouldn't be very happy if you were the neighbor then.
Mt. Bucelc: Then again, if we're going to look at it that wa, we're q.;ag
tc make it into a family matter, I mean....
Mayor Ferre: Precisely what I'm trying to avoid.
Mi. Plummer: Well, if you want to look at it any otho•r way, cour;selor, then
we'll vote on your issue and deny it right now because if not, accordi:,o to
tte book, you are to be denied because your client presently today is not
allowed tc-do what he wants.
Mi . Bucelc: I'ni aware of that, Commissioner.
Mi. Pl.ummvr: Okay, so we're here to 2onsider other c..rcumstances relating
tc this application. So it is perti,-tent to the matter.
Mayor Ferre: Well, I think where we are, as I sense the Commission's ioel-
it.gs, or that we want to move along on the broad issue and we want to :eave
it abeyance the specific issue, unless you want to push it.
Mz . Bucelc: tla, if that is going to be the case, now may we r�_-quest
srrt of temporary carport in %he meantime?
Mr. Plummer: No, sir.
Mr. Bucelo: Bused on what you have said, and I agiec with you.....
Mr. Pl.umme:: 'They've already talon it down.
Mayor Ferro: You've already taken down the carport:
Mr. Bucelo: Yes, we did.
Mayor Ferre: Counselor, my advise to you is, you knc „ you're going t• win
eventually so just leave it that way because I think f you press it aid•
further you're going to get yourself in trouble here.
Mr. Bucelo: Okay. How long will this process take, -ust for personal
knowledge?
Mr. Plummer: ASP.
Mayor Ferre: As soon as possible means what, six moi .hs? Mr. Manager'
Mr. Perez-Lugones: Mr. Mayor, taking the case to July to the Planning
Advisory Board it will be First Reading in September ind Second keadin; in
I)ctober and effective 30 days afterwards.
Mayor Ferre: Before the end of the year. Okay?
14r. Bucelo: May I ask one final thing, Commissioner Plummer? I agree with
you 1004 the law is against us, now why would spite ke involved in this mat-
ter at all...... I agree with you 100% if the vote were to be taken right
tlfww 1 woul,3 loSU but why would that type of situation affect the matter?
I'm just a,;kir:ct, it is .art inquiry on my part, sir.
'I, . P111=101 : because oite of the conditions when I look at a given applica-
„n is (1) :unincr, (2) if I }personally lived next door and (3) what the
Ils., iur i ty of the i)ec,plc would like to see. Su it is, in my thinking, one

�n this application.

Mr. tucelo: Thank you,
Mayor t'erre., okay, let's explain to the neighbors wher, we are, tai.es and
gentlemen, here is where Vie are in this particula2 case We are not doing
to .•ule on this issue today because the concensus :)f the Comru.ssion that
people ought to be allowed to properly, with Properly e;gineering an safety:
precautions to put up carports. So what we are gcing tv do is we are going
to co through the procedure of changing the law so that people can p1+. carte
ports all over the City of Miami because they're doing it anyway and :t is
something that t think we may as well face the issue but it has got to be
done properly. There will be public hearings on it, we'll go throuc-1 a pub=
lic process with the board, eventually it will come befcre the Commission,
After we have done that, we'll bring this case bac{ and they will have to
comply with the general law of the City of Miami.
Mr. Plummer: Possibly.
UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: (INAUDIBLE, SPEAKING FPOM THE AUDIENCE).
Mayor Ferre: Yes, you may say something.
Ms. Maria Leon: My name is Maria Leon, my address is 3(2 N.W. 55th :c-urt.
If this project that ycu are talking about is for, has to be r-quire3 the
measures or they can put them next to the fence of the reighbc- or what
all? You have to require the 5 feet from the side and the 25:
Mr. Plummer: Well, that will be discussed in the ordinance.
Ms. Leon: Oh, you don't know nothing about that yet?
Mr. Plummer: They're wing to draft an ordinance.
Mr. Dawkins: Well, if-toth parties, in my opinion, abided by %he 5 foot
rule we'd have no prolile-m--b-ecause a ence- wou-M--be--5-fDot -from the caipor' .
Now, if the people who put the fence up did not abide by the 5 foot rule then
you're going to have them both against each other so somewhere along the lilies
both parties are going to have to observe the 5 fc)t rule or w-'re sinning
our wheels.
Ms. Leon: Because you know, I was thinking about ;ome F-eople, maybe they
don't want to have a carport and they're going to )e against the oth:z
neighbors....
Mr. Dawkins: Well, that's why we're doing it with an ordinance, so J;at
those against it will have no redress.
Ms. Leon: Okay, thank you.
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, can I bring up a subj•.�ct right now?
Mayor Ferre: No, let's vote on Item 10.

out did. This individual saw fit to put up an 8 foot wall, solid wood wall,
around his property.
Mayor Ferre: Wait un•il you see what I'm going to pt*_ up, an•l it's in your
neighborhood too.
Mr. Plummer: And I want to tell you, Mr. Mayor, I personally did not like
it and my neighbors took advantage of neighborly love to let ne know that
they didn't like it. I think we need to reconsider the heigh_ of a le,7al
w i 1 1 of 8 feet.
M ,y0r Ft-rs C: J. L. , I'll tell you, you don't have m) vote on that. I think
t ,at anybo iy who want; to put up a wall in the City if Miami should be entitled
t , put ul) a wall at airy time, I mean if people want a live within walls that's
t eeir problem,
N , Plummer: Mr. Mayer, that's fine, but it is the + foot that I've g,t a
lroblem with. A wall or a fence I've got no problem .rith
Mayor Ferre: We live in a community that is now 60% .uban that come f.om a
tradition where peopl like to put walls arrjund,,,,.
Mr. Plummer; Fine, Vien anything above, let's eay a 4 foot #,All has t • be r

If YOU live next doof to an 8 foot wall, in Most cares your availtbilit
of breeze and ventillation in your home is going to be greatly imlaired
if someone next door to you has put up a stumbling 11tock, not eves a
lobVered wall but solid wood and I think that is wrng.
Mr. Catollot What is the law now, J. L.?
Mr, Plummer- The law now is you can put up a solid wall 8 foot high.
Mr, Carollos 'That's what I understood, so they're not in any violation
of the law.
Mr. Plummer: 1 agree, that's why I said I wo�ild like to make a motion to
send it to the Department to restudy whether or not they want to reduce
it to 4 or if they put a ventillated wall they coulC take and go up an
extra height or after 4 feet be done with a variance, I just think that
there should be some provisions that we retain control over a wall that
high. Mr. Mayor, I would merely make a motion that we send to the Depart-
ment that they review the ordinance for possible change and repor' back
to thi: Commission.
Mayor Ferre: All right, there is a motion on the floor. Is there a second?
UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: (INAUDIBLE, SPEAKING FROM AUDIENCE)
Mr. Plununer: Ma'am, do you live in my neighborhood?
UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: (INAUDIBLE).
Mayor Ferre: You've got to run for public office to do what you Just did.
All right, does anybody want to second that?

Mayor Ferre: Let's see if we can move along in half an hour and yet rid of
all of these housekeeping things. Item 12, review of... Plummer, we waited
for you on that.
Mr. Plummer: Yes, sir, are the proponents here? Mr. Mayor, I would like to
ask of the proponents, could you look over here, sir? Are there any opponents
to this? Come over here for just a minute, if you would, and I want to put on
the record that the applicant called me and I said that I had no problem but
let me tell you, I would suggest that instead of these windows being this way
which I think are going to cause you a traffic problem, that you try every way
in the world to put them this way and I think you will eliminate any bottle-
neck.
Mr. Whipple: Commissioner Plummer, for the record, that suggestion came to
our mind also in reviewing the item before it went tc the Zoning Board, we
did, I did visit the site and look at the constructio.i and the actual physical
barriers and based upon the fact that I felt it couldn't be done because of
the physical barriers that's why we went ahead with the plan as it was. T:ow,
if Mr, Rice feels that there can be some changes made above and beyond what
i felt there could be, that's fine with us.
r Mr, John Rice: For the record, I'm John Rice, President of U. S. Development
Corporation, 1200 Brickell Avenue, the owners of the property. Mr. Commis-
sioner, we had our architects and our contracting consultants I must say
probably make 20 studies of this and this was the nest compromise we could
come up with. We did consider the proposal that you just suggested, the
first thing is we neec the traffic to enter on the South Miami Avenue side
and exit on Bric►.ell 1.venue,
Mr, 1'lunrner: 1 Ice tf rAt.
t , )lice: You access a teller station from the left side, we would hav,
t- locate that seller station outside under the weather, exposod to the
k ather and actLally have a structure that would be :,ot in com;,lia~:ce w�.-.h
c.r setback regt:irement and beyond that. we are havin., this tra•fic CIO
t;.der a part of our structure that is supported by c�lurxis and we had t
ti -ve the cars azoviii those columns in a way that the- could oe . through
• thout tearing their bodies up and this is really tle best compromise
w could come ul, with and we did meet with Mr. Whipple at the :,ite so t'�t
l,- could confirti those conditions.
M•. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, I move the item subject to . one year review.
Mayor Ferre: There is a motion on Item 12 with a condition, 1; there a
second? Is there a second to the resolution on 12? Seconded ,iy Commis-
s oner Perez, further discussion with the stipulation that the -e b,! a onp

Mayor Ferre: Ycs, sir.
M:. Rice: I'd ike to understand what that meant because it his a very ser-
ic!us impact on .his structure.
M,-:yor Ferre: T:ie one year review means that in one year if it isn't wo w-
ing and it comes back here you're going to have to change it at if this
C(,mmission in t'.ie majc city wants you to change it.
M . Plummer: 'f fiat's standard, Mr. Rice, on all of t.h, ;t? t,.,nk tellers ol,

M:. Rice: I just want, to be sure it doesn't impact n• my closing a lo;.

M,-. Plummer: it shou5 dn't at all, it is a standard procedure of this (- �nis-

M iyor Ferre: What it means is if you have a traffi - jam and 1 he Froble .s

We have dealt with organized labor within Ue City of Miami and 1 think it's
a good track record and I personally want tc. say to P y y you publicly as I hav,
on other occasions that other than Claude Pepper, I will no bow my head
to anybody as to my voting record with organized labor and the unions. I
think that I have, for the nine years that I have been here, been one of the
best friends that the labor movement has had in any government anywhere in
Florida, ok? And I think that this whole Commissi has been that way on
labor issues. Now, so, I'm not about to do anything that's going to affect
the labor movement or the working men of this community. A:iything that ii
done thkt doesn't work properly can be undone and I want to tell you that
I wouldn't hesitate one second if I figured at any time tha_ the unions or
the working people of this community were it. anyway being impaired or that
the construction industry was being impaired. Now, the second thing I want
to tell you i,. this. The function of a building permit, th•i function of an
inspection, whether it be electrical or plumbing or mechanic:al of any kind,
it has to continue and it will continue and it is regulated by State law.
All we are talking about here is how the organization and haw the structure
of the organization functions. Now, what the Manager has c.3me ut with after
a long history of deliberation and discussion is to put into law what in effect
already exists. In other words, for the last six months or so the Fire
Department has had the effective control of that department and they have
been running it. And Chief Teems who is here with Chief Brice has been
running that department. Now, I want to make one more stat•�ment. We are
all influenced not only by what, but who. sometimes I wonder if that's the
right way to do things, but we are influenced by who. We hive Chief Hickman
who is sitting in the back of the room. We have Chief Brice who is sitting
here and over the years these two men and their predecessors, because we have
got to give t'•eir predecessors some credit too and some of those that are
there now hav, established the City of Miami Fire Departmen: is n my opinion
not only the !xnber one Fire Department in the nation, but is think and I say
this with all Sue respects to my friends in the Police Depa:tmen+. and in other
departments, �_ is the single best run department of any go;ernm-:ntal agen -.y
anywhere in Sc -itheast Florida. There is nobody that can cl Am that the Fire
Department of the City of Miami is not the k)est run department of any
governmental agency anywhere in Southeast Florida. That in-lude:• Metro,
Broward County, Monroe, you name it. This is the number one department in
this part of the world. They have a record of excellence, _hey }now what -_by
are doing. What they do they do effectively well. There has never- been a -
scandal. There has never been any implication of wrong doing. nhere is tug
hanky panky that goes on and you know, the trouble with hanky pat,ky is tha(-
something like that lives to plague you, you know, because .is long as... Some-
people say "Wall, as long as they are friends". Well, what happens if it
isn't friendly? What happens when it creates a division? 'There is only one
way we can rut. things and that's on a straight and above board. And I think
that... I feel very comfortable, I feel very comfortable knowing that someon,
in the Fire Department that has the reputation for honesty and i-.tegrity and
for effectiveness and efficiency is over looking the whole proce3s. Now, I':t
not in anyway implying, nor do I mean to imply, nor should it be misunderstold
that I feel that the past was in anyway dishonest or uneffe.tive I am sayi:►g
that I an sure that the Fire Department will run a clean op.ration. And sini:e
there... I don't think it's any secret. In the past ten years, 'ifteen year.,
that there isn't, there isn't five years that go by when there i,cn't some
grand jury investigation or somebody probing into what's going of in the
building departments of this community, including the City 7f Mitmi's, When
Paul Andrews was here, that man was like a,.. he was so nervous I couldn't,, .
he would come in and he would say "oh, I got terrible news for you. Ve
are being investigated and we have got this and that and yoi know, t}ere is
about four or five people". I said Paul, do you have the facts? "Well, I
think that some people are taking money on the side". "Well, Paul, we hav(-
got to stop that immediately, you know". And it took... sisc months !ater
we were still in the middle of the investigation. You.., Chief Hickman was
the Chief then, lie remembers that we had two 'or three fire fighters who's
lives were t?reatened and we never quite got to the bottom �f that because
we cleaned it up a little bit and there is always this thin l going of ,
think th.tt it's in the best interest of everybody to know tiat there is a
t ight lid on this thing, Now, 1 think that the- present system unde7 Direct >r
gl 57

ralman has been credible. I think he has done a g ,3d job. I don't think that
tome of the people that have been Linder hini have 6 %e such an affective job
and I think that there have been a lot of problems that have gene on and
m afraid we haven`t been able to put quite a prier handle on it. t feel
I must say that since Mr. Teems has been in there 1 feel a lot more comfot'tabJv
that a lot of things have been tightened up and 1 '.-t.el good about that. And
all we are effectively doing here is we are effectively puttin') into law
w-iat already is being done anyway. Art?
Mr. Art Fernandez: Mr. Mayor, my name is Art Fernand=�z. I belong to the loci,'
s-2gment of the building trades also. The State Federation $wilding Trade.
I concur with you a hundred percent. What it was I believe it was a lack
of communication on... as far as communicating wit;: Mr. 14alkinuton here. I
concur with you a thousand percent and I just want. to say that it is Going
to upgrade the division. Also, I'm in contact wit..'.; Lary Teems and also
Luis Jimenez. Luis Jimenez explained to me what -,-e process was taker. and
believe me I'm well pleased with the enforcement. Also, don't forget don't
cut yourself short. He is doing a fine jol� also. 'thank you.
Mayor Ferrf': Art, ;,ew Jimenez is also, Luis Jimel:t 7„ rll: iht?
Mr. Fe1,TlaIIde Z: Ri.glIt.
Ms. 'Il:u.';` Burtman: Mr. Mayr, my name:, is Trudy Be '!mall. I'm the Government
Affairs liason for the Builders Association of South Florida, 15225 Northwest
77th Avenue. I'm real pleased to hear the cooperat icy:i of the city Manager
along with the Fire Department and the representat-,ve-s of the Trade Unions.
The concern that my builders wanted to express here was that the building
- official would be reporting at this point to the F'_re Chief. Their concern
would 1,e that because the administration of the Bu ]ding and Zoning Departmer,
would le taken over by the Fire Chief their expert -see wc:uld probably be in
life safety and fire prevention rather than constr ction. Especially, the
brick and mortar aspects of it in addition to the •,conomics and the business
aspect of construction. So, we are hoping very, v.ry Ruch that, that effort
would he coordinated so that we don't have someone who i:; supervising a funct
that tl j2y are not. expert, in.
Mayor Ferree- l.et me answer that. In the first pl.:ce there are: State laws
that are very strict about who call approve and who can do what. Now, ill the
secvncl place tht� people that, will be inspecting th, electrical, plumbing and
other requirements and approving_ permits will be people that alto technically
proficient and qualified tc do so. In the third pace just because it's
never been done before in the City of Miami doesn't mean that it won't function.
It has beer, done in other communities and I think his will be a major break
through because this is one of the first major cities in America that is
consolidating these functions. Now, true, the Fire Department's main function
is to save life and limb, but they also have other proficiencies as they have
shown. For example, this Fire Department was the innovator of the medical
service on an emergency basis, which has nothing t- do with fire. It's a
related item, but people wl,o have heart attacks hats got nothing to do with
the fire. And God forbid if something should happen to you right now and
you were to drop right there, I want to guarantee ou, I want to guarantee
you that within two to thrc-e minutes maximum you w- uld be.., yc7u would have
oxygen, you would have an electrocardiogram machirn- put to you, you would
have paramedics and you would be in an ambulance c, your way to mercy hospital
and that's something that we were innovators. And I want to tell you that
I expect and I want to say to the Chief and to Mr. Teems that i will expect
that we are going to have that same kind of qualit' performance. and innovation
and this is going to be ... when you go to the Chief.; Conventior: next time, you
are going to be able to brag about this and I hope that you ar.- going to
have a letter from the Builders Association of Sou':.h Florida saying that.
they are proud of the improvements that you have pit in and the smoothness
of the operation under your control and that indeed you are not just &-a ling
with fire and fire problems, because as she has pointed out plumbing has
nothing to do with fires. And I understand and V:l going to put into the
record the letter from Paul Brenza the Executive Director of the Builders
Association of South Florida on this item and I want to repeat once again
that if' there is ae,y problems I want you to come right here to this Commisspn
and we will. hold a public hearing and if we have got to reverea and unravel
this, as I told Art Fernandez and Mr. Walkington, we will do it.

Mayor Ferret Ok .
(BAc'KGROUND COMMENT OFF THE PUBLIC RECOW )
Mayer Ferret Yes, Ma'am,
Dr. Theedee Dr. Theede, SouthweE: 7th Street. Thera is something
abort this ordinance that disturbs me. Iresently it is my ut,derstanding
(COMMENT INAUDIBIt)... and if we incorporate the Building Department in with
Fire Department, my question to you is do these leople become exempt also
or do we still require these people to live within the City cf Miami7
Mayor Ferret Mr. Manager? Mr. Manager, oe have a question for you.
Mr. ;ary: Would you ask that question aoiin?
Dr. Theede: My question was my understaniing is that people who are in the
Fire Fighting Department are exempt for tie rule if the City of Miami that
the} must be residents of the City of Miami. Presently the people that work
in the Building and Zoning Department em)loyees Lust live within the City:
of Miami. If we consolidate these two de>artment; the people that are net
acti,re fire fighters will they be requires to li`•: within the City :�f Miami
or will they have the exemption of the Fi*e Depar_ment also and be allowed
to live in Broward County or wherever els� they would like to and L-e our
taxpayers monies to spend else where?
Mr. Jary: Mr. Mayor and Commissioners, i. respon a to that giestici residency
requirement that exist presently is goveried by ccr Civil Ser✓ice files and
in addition to the Fire Department personnel and he Police D>partr ,nt
personnel other employees have the opportcnity of going before the 'ivil
Service Board and requesting a waiver of their rr idency requ remer. s. S),
that particular provision exist right now
Dr. "heede: Now, you are talking that everybody hat works for any department
in t).e City of Miami can ask for a waiver of resi 'ency requirements
Mr. Gary: That's correct.
Dr. T):eede: So, then that this residency requireient simply a farce and
Should be eli ninated?
Mr. Gary: Well, I won't answer the last cuestion, but I can cell y u right
now that the residency requirement is not as stringent to insure th t all
persons we employ is living in the City cf Miami.
Dr. Theede: I didn't understand you, sir
Mr. Gary: I only answered the last quest. on in terms of it being a farce
but I can respond to you that the current residency requirements fo the
City of Miami are not stringent enough to insure that all employees of th.
City of Miami resides in the City of Miami.
Dr. Theede: Mr. Manager and members of tie Commission, the City of Miami
have many talented people. It's my tax mcney and the tax money of every
person here that pays these employees. It's beyond my conception ttlat someone
should live in Broward County and commute and take my tax money and spend it
in some other community and I think...
Mayor Ferret For once you and I agree an( I want to tell you something t)cat,
that's something that Commissioner Carollc has bean talking akout ar.i I would
like to ask Cc immis,,Joner carollo in the vc ry near future to come... he ha:,
been working c-r: this for while. I think we neee to come back with a re.csonable
and humatc appi oach to the problem, because I don't think that somebciy wh
has owned a home itt Browai d County for twenty yeai i all of the sudde !i we, .
but on the other hand I think if someone has a Cit., automobile and lives n
Broward county and is taking the City vehi.le off to Broward County, I iu:t
don't think that's right,
Mr, Carolio: Well, not only that Mr, mayort but teat person .s cos*ing t e

totalitarian enough to expectt these people t,: gives up their pki-es to li
Mayor Ferro: Dr. '1'l:eede, that's all finer ai I th nk tlh,:et's :;:;m�_�thing
we cat. address, but we are now on Item 28.
Dr. Tl eede: I know, but it goes back to this ordi• arse. In other words
I know that the City• of Miami has willinRIv set as de anyone that wants , o
work in the Fire Department where they live. This is has not been sometling
that they have enforced. With the rest of the Cite they have crone along with
enforcing it to some degree and I think somewhere n this ordinance, you know,
we should address this issue.
Mr. Carollo: Ma'am, I think the problem i�- that I .an ur,ders:and how so. eone
that nay be makes fifteen, twenty, twenty-five tho sanci dcllar a year m ght
have a probler finding adequate housing in the Cit_ of Xiami. Let's fac it
our occupancy rate is extremely low, less than one percent. H,,. evel, I an't
understand fo the life of me how someone that mig'.t make six.,, seventy
thousa;id c3oil rs a year or more, beside that gets t car: and Q.v can't fi d
adequate hods ng in the City of Miami. The probler that we are having i
that tiie vast majority of the department heads, assistant department hea s
that a••> have that the people that are makin,.: polio for the City of Miam
don't live in the City of h'iami. In arse do artment recently wi,F-ri I requ, sted
where the top administrator, of the department. livid, all twenty-three o

There is quite a difference.
Dr. Tl,eede: But sir, the main empioymelit t r:at we. . you know, every cit.-

two de °.s E :.t:s being merged. I think thi::, is a bt tter utilization of y)ur

_ thing is that you are opening the door for every C.ty employee to live oatside

was five tiv.-,us:and five hundred dollars on wu property and that's a lot o

ON ROLL CALL:
Mr. Perez: I want to point out something. I think that this is (COMMENT
INAUDIBLE)... I would like to recognize today the people (COMMENT INAUDIBLE)..
in my office support of the Director of the Department, Mr. Gerardo Salman,
who is a well known person and (INAUDIBLE)... person, a professional leader
and a person who have shown a strong leadership in his position in the City of
Miami Zoning Department. I would like to recoggize Mr. Gerardo Salman. I
know that this subject has been very controversial in the department. I would
like to ask the City Manager and Chief Brice to make sure that all minorities
will be represented (INAUDIBLE)... that no discrimination be tolerated within
the department and that minorities be assured to have a place (INAUDIBLE)...
in this department. With this condition I vote "yes".
Mr. Carollo: I think that the intentions of Chief Brice and Mr. Teems axe
honorable. I don't question their intentions like people ha'✓e had in the
past. I however, have not been sold on all the positive effects that this
move is going to have. At the same time some statements that have been made
here, I think, might be interpreted differently,,and I think it should be
pointed out that in io waye shape or fora has there been any type of allegatioi s
that the present dir-etor, Mr. Balman has done anything wr'onq, On the contrar,
everything that 1 ha'1e ever heard about him from peep le in V)o business of

of government. with potential accusations of wrongdoing be:ause it's th, one
sensitive area where government on a daily basis is approving somethin; that

Mr. Plurruner: Wfiat I'm saying is, Mr. Mayor, we don't know yet who those
people will be.
Mayor Ferre: Yes!
Mr. Plummer: It was said: "them or their designee."
Mayor Ferre: Yes, it is right here.
Mr. Plummer: Oh, I'm sorry.
Mayor Ferre: You have to read that on 32, see?
Mr. Plummer: I'm sorry.
Mayor Ferre: See? Barry University, Dan Paul and John McCoy; Biscayne
College, Ms —le anne Bellamy; Dade County Public Schools, Dr. Leonard Britton;
Florida International., Dr. Robert Winter; Florida Memorial, Dr. Barbara Ricks;
Dr. Turonce Kelley; I'aul Dec. The point I'm tryin?; to make to you is, you
know, 1 know these are very distinguished scholars and what have you representing
all the:.e colleges and universities, but I think there should be one Spanish-
speaking voice.
Mr. Dawkins: But at that:. time....

U
Mayor Vertet There it a woman and there is a black and all that,
Mr. Dawkins! gut at that time you said! "let the colleges appoint whom
they want."
Mayor Ferret Sure,
Mr, Dawkinst And that's what they did.
Mayor Ferret I agree with that, but I think that somewhere alo:ig the line...,
Mr. Dawkins: I agree with you.
Mayor Ferret ....my criticism frankly is r) Clark Merrill for not having
sensitized them, and I assume you didn't, that you know, hey! fellows, send
us one token Cuban, or one token Latin, pleasel Here we have a city that
is mostly Latin and you don't put one single Latin on this thing) I don't
think we're trying to get a quota here or anything, but for goodness sakes!
Mr. Dawkins: Well, I have my one.
Mayor Ferret We needed some sensitivity.
Mr. Gary: Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Ferre: Yes, sir.
Mr. Gary: 'There is still an opportunity to appoint minorities. All this
does is set up a corps of architects in cooperation so that we can get the
process started.
Mayor Ferret How many appointments will the City of Miami Commissicn have?
Mr. Gary: As many as you see fit.
Mayor Ferret I see, O.K., well, that solves my problem. Thant you, sir,
I'm ready to vote on it. You are telling me, on the record, now, that we
are able to add. Now, Mr. Merrill, I don't know whether the rest o the
Commission is going to concur with me, but I want to tell you right now
I don't want a quota, but I want representation of what this commun.ty is
made up. So you come back with sufficient numbers on this board so that
this community's ethnic and sexual make-up, male and female, (are the only
two that I recognize these days) are represented, all right?
Mr. Plummer: Boy, is that a change of heart!
Mayor Ferret No, I've always been consist2ntl Not me! You're coniising
me with somebody else, Plummer.
4r. Gary: Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Ferret O.K.
X . Gary: We accept that philosophy, and that is the philosophy of the
A ministration, and I also make note that with regard to Barry University
- w. have to make a choice between Dan Paul and Jahn McCoy.
Mayor Ferret That's their probleml I'm tot going to get involved in

Mayor Ferre: Now we have a question on pornography and public opinion
polli,ag. llr. City Attorney, and Mr. Bob Clark.
Mr. fitrox: We have prepared the resolutions relating to the ballot questions
on pornography and also a resolution call{:,g for the election. I would
ask you, however, if you would please permit us and add to your agenda
on 0e end to prepare a resolution regarding the question of public opinion polling
becau-;e: we just completed our research. That was a question that
we ha to get into in depth and we are not yet prepared the formal resolutiot.
Mayor 'F rre: 1 just want to streneously state that I'm sorry for my good
frien=. Howard Kleinberg in the Miami News and all that, but I stand on
where I. stand, that is, that I was shocked when 1 was in New York and I
turnet on a non-paying television (I did not pay to see any porno picture)
to wa ch the news, and I was switching this thing around and here were all
these nude people sitting around, playing around, and frankly, I was offended
by it. No because ... I mean I don't care if you watch porno films. That's
your ;problem if you want to do that. But I don't want my grandchild, or
my children just inadvertently flicking on something, watching the proceedinEs
in Miami. Now, if you want to go and buy a cassette, or if you want to go
to a movie, I think that you are a citizen of the United States and the
constitution gurantees you that in the first: amendment, and you can go and
watch anything you want. And that's O.K. with me. But 1 think that using;
public access, in the public well-being, that is in the streets of the City
of Miami, to have cables laid down that are carrying on those cables pornographic
materials is offensive to me personally. I'm not going to get involved in this
campaign, but I do think that the people of Miami should express themselves
as to whether, in their majority, they want it or don't want it along their
streets in the City of Miami. I just think that we ought to put this on the
ballot.
sl
Mayor Pette (CON'T) ....Now, to the Hetald s criticism and clitorials, I
think there is a big difference Why can't tie decide this het,? 11tn ready
to vote on this fight now, I'm ready to note against pottiograp,ty right tior;,
todayl But unfottunately, the Supreme Court ,f the 'United States has ruled
and has a very complicated set legal proceedings as to how you define what's
tight and wrong in the moral standards of a -otnmunity. So al] I'm saying is If
let the people of Miami define the standards according to Supreme Court
regulations. Now, I understand that even th.it is questionable, because that
has not been finally determined. 1 can't speak for the Supreme Court, t can
only speak as one vote on the City of Miami Commission and 1*11 speak when I
vote in November or whenever it is that we are going to vote on this issue.
I'd .like to move this matter, if I may; or one of you could move it. I don't
care.
Mr. Carollo: So move.
Mr. Perez: Could I request from the Manager' office a report about the :--gulations
which outline everything that we have in the City of Miami with rbfetenc
to adult theatres?
Mayor l:erre: Adult theatres.
Mr. Knox: You can make that request through the Law Department and we'1� get

Mayor Ferret Mr. Rosencrantz.
Mr. Randy Rosencrantz: Mr. Mayor, at the la t meeting of the City Commission
it was suggested that the administration mee- with the unions on this partic-
ular item. I'd like to advise you that we did meet with the unions, we ex-
plained to them in great detail the formatio►t of the total Self -Insurance
Fund and we explained to them in great detail the numbers associated with
the employees' health portion of that particular fund. We also explained to
them where the revenue was derived from for each of those funds and how that
money was spent over the last several years. We answered any questions that
they had at that particular time and attempted to explore with them any ques-
tions that they had in their minds. In addition to our discussion there, we
made the offer to the various unions to appoint a member to a task force that
would look at various alternative ways of providing health insurance coverage.
We did this in the hopes that we could all sit down together and to explore
that particular topic. But we also emphasized at that time that the fund
was now spending more money each month than it was receiving and that it was
necessary that we come forward with the rate increase so that we would have
sufficient revenue in the fund to maintain the integrity of that particular
fund. Is there any other information that I can provide?
Mayor Ferret I think you have provided the information.
Mr. Bob Alexander: Bob Alexander, Miami Association of Fire Fighters, Loca-.
587. Mr. Mayor, Commissioners, we don't feel that the City has negotiated
with us, we met as per your last instructions on the 14th of June and the
City simply re -stipulated their position. There weren't any negotiations
at all. I'd like to pass out our two latest proposals in case you didn't
have them.
Mr. Rosencrantz: May I have a copy of that?
Mr. Alexander: our proposal, in answer to the City's proposal Of April Bth,
oui proposal of April 13th, we'd like to simply just resubmit this to the
Commission this date to go back to the table and negotiate this, Mr at-
torneys advised us that if this goes through that were looking at at least
an unfair labor practice and there are also violations of trUst by the
76 JUN 24
trustees, We don't agree with the City's position to thake this rett6activ6,
we don't agree with their figures, we don't agree with their late of increase
and 1 think it would be , well, 1 can't speak for the retirees but 1 think
it would be a real hardship on retirees to go back and let retroactive, it
could amount to maybe $150 � $200 a retiree.
Kiyor Verre: All right, go ahead.
M.. B. K. Rawls: Gentlemen, E. K. Rawls, itetired Employees Association, if
this thing goes through like you are proposing, a retiree making $400 a month,
aid he gets it all backed up to March the 7th, how is he going to come out
il. the paycheck he receives, his next paycheck, of paying all the back dues
to March the 7th7 He won't even be able to live. 1 think the City should
have told us about it. The last meeting we had, all he done vas read out
the figures that he had and why the 'City had to increase it.
Mr. Rosencrantzs I think that on the issue that was raised there that the
matter of'raising the rates had been on the Commissioners' agenda several
times over the time period since I've been within the City.
Mr. Bill Smith: Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission, Bill Smith, Sani-
tation Employees Association. We are now at the tabl•z and we are not having
been given the opportunity to negotiate the premiums jr the increases and
according to the rules of R.E.R.C. it will be illegal to raise our premiums
without giving us that right to negotiate this and to do so would be an un-
fair labor practice.
Mr. Gary: In response to that, it is the opinion of my labor expert as well
as my labor counsel, that we are not in violation of any labor contract, it
is not an unfair labor practice...
Mayor Ferre: That's already on the record, you've already sail that last
time. What else have ,you got to say?
Mr. Walter Rodak: My lame is Walter Rodak, I'm Presilent of the Miami Fraternal
Order of Police. My problem with the whole insurance package is I'm not sure
that a rate increase is justified. Another p-oblem I have is that they told
me that 18 months ago that th(, insurance rate had to be increased. We sat at
the bargaining table, they had the informatio:z, I have to look at it as prob-
ably bad faith bargaining on the City's side. Had I 'mown about these increases
coming up, because we did negotiate insurance, had I mown this increase was
coming up it might have changed my posture somewhat a•d in lieu of a higher
percentage raise I would have been willing to accept 'ess to put more whole
dcllars in the individual's pocket by having the City pick up s bigger portion
of the insurance rate.
Mi. Dawkins: Let me understand you clearly. Are you saying that at the time
tLat you were negotiating this contract, at no time did this c,3me up? Is
that what we're saying?
Mr. Rodak; The rate increase, yes, sir, at no time did it cone up.
Mr. Dawkins: Thank you.
Mr. Plummer: All right, let's get on with it one way or the ether.
Mr. Rosencrantz: Mr. Mayor, we have a hand-out which we'd like to give to
the Commissioners which was prepared by the labor commissioners which would
indicate that each of three unions did request certain actions concerning
the employee health insurance during negotiations and particularly the
A.F.S.C.M.E. group requested the City pay 100% of current life and health
insurance for employees. That was not agreed to. I think if you just
look at each of the unions there you will see that they made requests for
the City to make greater payments to the health insurance fund and ta)c• City
did not agree to do that.
Mr. Smith; Mr, Mayor, we're not included in there because we're at the
tal)le now.
Mi Gary: The key issue here is that, you know, we could sit down and talk
ai )ut benefits, we're not talking about benefits now we're talking clout
tip cost of paying for the benefits that have already been negotiated and
tl „e benefits have been negotiated, the costs have exceeded what is now
b, irig collected and we ore recoAunendng that the rates be }nczBased for
ti„ City as well as the emploYees to cover th= cost cf those kenefits,
tit. Smiths Mr, Mayor, PEEK has ruled that to raise any prettiums without beiiq
negotiated is an unfair labor practice and what you're doing now is you're
raising the premium of the employees without giving them a right to h0q6tiato
that premium increase and we're at the table now and we haven't been given
that right.
Mayor Ferret Mr. Manager► you've already answered that.
Mr. Gary: I've answered that, it is a difference of opinion and obviously
has to be adjudicated if they see fits
Mayor Ferre: Well, what is the will of this Commission on this hot -easy
issue that has been plaguing us? What do you all want to do? My only con-
cern, you know, like Gibson.....
Mr. Plummer: Well, Mr, Mayor, I too concur. Mr. Rosencrantz, I think that
to retirees have brought out a legitimate concern and I'm sure that in some
way you could make this where it would be paid - the retroactive portion -
back over 4 payments rather than one lump sum.
Mr. Gary: We can do that.
- Mr. Plummer: I'm sure. I mean, you know, you're going to take a man's pay-
check, the way it is sounding to me he's going to have to pay you.
Mr. Gary: We'll agree to that.
Mr. Rawls: Thank you, Mr. Plummer.
Mayor Ferre: What else have you got? What is the will of this Commission?
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, you know, it's not an easy subject and I'm sure
the matter is.....
Mr. Dawkins: I second Plummer's motion.
Mr. Plummer: You do what?
Mr. Dawkins: I second Plummer's motion.
Mr. Plummer: My motion was to expell Miller Dawkins from the Commission.
Mr. Dawkins: Second.
Mr. Plummer: You can't second that, that's a conflict. Hey, you know, the
thing is going to be litigated, let's move on with the thing. We've got to
move on. I move that it be approved subject to the amendment of the retirees
and let the chips fall where they may.
Mr. Dawkins: And go to court, I second.
Mr. Plummer: Okay, you know, I'm not an insurance executive.
Mayor Ferre: Okay, there is a motion and a second. Further discussion?
Call the roll.

tant items. First of all, we need to have the City Commission's approval. I

the WX limit which they have.

amount from our cable license as opposed to the minimum amount which they are
trying to pay us.

all of these people, the County, and Merrit Stierheim and all have concluded
on the finacing for the bifurcated system, okay? You received a memorandum
in the last couple of days, telling you what the proposal is. I would like
to strongly recommend; I assume the Manager strongly recommends that we pur-
sue the recommended solution by Jim Reid.
Mr. Gary: Yes, we do.
Mayor Ferre: And I want to commend Jim Reid, for his imagination and for his
persistance on this, and you Mr. Manager, I think it is a healthy solution.
The State is coming up with a lot of the money. We are going to have to
fork up three and one-half million bucks, but I have got news for you buddy -
I think we are coming out pretty easy, compared to what we would have had to
pay if we hadn't done this. And we are not going to have to go to tax incre-
ment financing, okay? So, I would like to, one of you move that the Manager's
recomnu:ndation be accepted and that we instruct them to continue to balance,'
