Request for withdrawal of Agenda
item
I have spoken to James B. Farrell, of the law offices of Mann-Dady-
Corrigan & Zelman, regarding his letter to you requesting withdrawal
from the October 7 Agenda of the recommendation to the City Commission
to commence a new selection process to select an architect for the
design and construction for Dinner Key Marina. The reason for this
request is the absence from Miami of Mr. Farrell's client, Mr. A. W. Crowder,
whose architectural firm's contract with the City is being questioned.
I have informed Mr. Farrell that the item will not be deferred, but that
representatives of the firm would be welcome to attend the October 7 City
Commission meeting.

We are attorneys for Crowder, Mahoney, Makowski, Rice &
Associates, Inc. We have reviewed your memorandum of
September 29, 1981, in which you state that you are recom-
mending to the City Commission that a new selection process
be commenced to select an architect for the design and
construction for Dinner Key Marina. You have indicated that
your recommendation will be scheduled on the October 7, 1981
City Agenda.
On behalf of our clients, we recommend that presentation of
this matter to the City Commission be deferred for at least
one week. Mr. A. W. Crowder is presently in Europe and is
not scheduled to return until October 12. Since your
recommendation is based on certain allegations involving
matters which only Mr. Crowder can respond.to, we feel that
it would be highly unfair to have this matter presented to
the City Commission when Mr. Crowder is not available to
answer these allegations.
If you would like to discuss this matter, please do not
hesitate to call the undersigned. We would appreciate
your advising us, as soon as possible, of your response to
our request for removal of this matter from the October 7
Agenda.
Very truly yours,
i� James 8, Farrell
