Richard L. Fosmoen October 16, 1980
City Manager
Investigation of SBOC Activities
in Wynwood
Julio A. Castano, Director Oct. 30, 1980 City 'Commission Meeting
Dept. of Trade & Commerce le elopment
As you recall, at the October 9th meeting of the Commission,
I presented a legal opinion prepared by•the City's Law
Department, after a careful review of the allegations made
by Emilio Lopez on the City's funding of SBOC. In that legal
opinion the Law Department pointed out two allegations which,
if proven, would constitute breach of contract. Those two
allegations were: 1) that SBOC has engaged in discriminatory
practices by excluding Puerto Ricans from working �n that
program, and 2) that Virgilio Perez is a recipient pf an SBOC
subcontract while being a member of the Board of Directors of
SBOC.
Since then, we have met: with SBOC officials and have found these
allegations to be untrue. Contrary to the allegation of Puerto
Ricans being excluded from the program, we have found that the
Program Director, Mr. Prank Estrada, is Puerto Rican. A clerk
in that program, presently under CETA is also Puerto Rican.
Relative to the second allegation, we are in receipt of a letter
from the Board's Secretary, Mr. Pedro Albuerne, who certifies
that Mr. Virgilio Perez is not a member of the Board of. Directors
of SBOC, nor is he receiving funds under contract with SBOC. Ile
is an employee of that Corporation, a fact that does not break
our contract with them in any manner.
No adverse action against SBOC is justifiable nor,recommended.
