Dena Spillman, Director Department of Community Development 10 UG 15 PM 2: 43 August 13, 1980 "`` Request approval of Resolution authorizing reimbursement to owner for demolition and clearance costs incurred City Commission meeting September 25, 1980 It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to reimburse the owner of Farrey's Wholesale Hardware Co., Inc. in the amount of $10,400.00 for demolition and clearance costs incurred for the removal of building located at 7225 N.W. 7th Avenue, Miami, Florida; said property destroyed by the civil disturbances of May 17-19, 1980. As you are aware, the civil disturbances of May 17-19, resulted in irreparable dama a to a number of buildings and structures in the City. More than twenty two ?22) structures were identified by City staff as unsafe posing a menace to the health and safety of residents of the affected areas. To address this problem, the City Commission, on June 6, 1980, passed and adopted Resolution No. 80-407, which authorized the City Manager to demolish said unsafe structures without assessing the property owners for demolition and clearance costs, and further requesting the City Manager to solicit offers from minority contractors where necessary or proper to perform the said demolition service, in addition to allocating $247,000 from 5th Year Community Development contingency funds for this purpose, On July 10, 1980, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No, 80-546, thereby amending Section 2 of Resolution No, 80-407, which authorized the City Manager to execute demolition contracts without further commission approval despite the cost of any such contract exceeding $4,500. Prior to the enactment of Resolution No. 80-407, the owner of Farrey's Wholesale Hardware Co, Inc., demolished and cleared-iis building located at 7225 N.W. 7th Avenue, Miami, Florida. At this time, the owner is seeking reimbursement in the amount of $10.400.00 for the demolition and clearance costs incurred for the above mentioned-5 ng. Attached please find paid bills and back-up materials, The recommended reimbur- sement amount would come from the$247,000 which was allocated by the City Commission on June 6, 1980. Commission approval of this item is recommendedliC.% C �- 1 E /so t� i 80-689 N r"I'l CITY OF NIIAMI, FLUMDA INTEROFFICE NIENIORANDUM Tea Richard L. Fosmoen City Manager CNOM Vincent E.

City Manager f' �, September 18, 1980 VILF May Civil Disturbances i1 EF' EN E 11 Ct.:i .r,cL0! uLI i :s As soon as the civil disturbances in May quieted down'the thrust of clean up fell upon the Departments of Solid Waste, Public Works and Parks. Their activities were primarily directed in the public rights of way and on public property, with some small amount of work being done on private property. This work was completed on May 22nd. On May 22nd, the Commission adopted Ordinance No. 9105 which directed the City Manager to notify property owners to secure their buildings from further fire hazards and public safety men- aces. This ordinance did not address the question of demolition of those structures which were not safe. The Department of Building & Zoning conducted an individual build- ing survey to record all those buildings that were damaged and, specifically, those that were damaged beyond repair. The end result of that effort was to declare twenty-two (22) buildings within the corporate limits of. the City of Miami as non - salvageable. Subsequently, this number was reduced to twenty-one (21) buildings. Because of the national attention focused on the City of Miami, the Governor's office directed the Florida Department of Trans- portation to cooperate with local governments to provide State equipment and manpower to aid in the clean up of private proper- ties. This initial idea never jelled in that the Governor did not sign the official order, which would have released State personnel and equipment. The City Commission, on June 6th, passed Resolution No. 80-407 which authorized the City Manager to take bids from minority con- tractors and to demolish buildings on private property without cost to the property owner. Funds for the cost of this work were established from 5th Year Community Development Contingency Funds. Bids were received on July 14th and work was authorized for the first four (4) structures on July 15th. Since that time thirteen (13) of the structures have been demolished. Two (2) of the thirteen (13) structures were demolished by private owners. 80-689 Richard L. Fosmoen -2- September 18, 1980 Four (4) of the owners have not yet given the City authority to demolish. The remaining four (4) are scheduled for demolition the last week in September. The Building & Zoning Director's report, dated September 10, 1980, states that if he has not received permission from the four (4) property owners by September 19th for the City to demolish their unsafe structures, then he intends to present these cases to the October 21st Unsafe Structures Board hearings. That places us in the position of how to fairly handle the two (2) property owners who elected to demolish their own structures and the four (4) who have not demolished their structures or given the City permission to do so. As a result of the City's activity, one of the owners who elected to demolish his own structure has requested reimbursement from the City. On August 12th, Mr. Farrey, president of Farrey Wholesale Hardware Co., Inc.,contacted the Department of Community Development and was informed in writing on August 21st they would present his re- imbursement request to the City Commission for approval. When I saw this item on the proposed Agenda for the 15th, I asked that it be removed until I could fully review the circumstances and to recommend a course of action. In summary, it has been the basic policy of the City Commission that unsafe structures within the City as a result of the civil disturbances be demolished. It was further the City Commission's policy that this be done without cost to the property owners. It seems fair, in view of that policy, that Mr. Farrey should be re- imbursed* It also seems fair that the other property owner who demolished his property voluntarily should also be reimbursed. I would further suggest that the four (4) remaining property owners be contacted and given formal notice that if they do not allow the City to demolish their properties they will be taken before the Unsafe Structures Board and the responsibility for demolition will then rest with them. Mr. Farrey's request for reimbursement is in the amount of $10,400. Since the City did not receive a bid for this specific structure, we could only review the costs of the other properties to see whether or not this is a fair price. The bids received by the City vary widely, depending on the extent of damage. An analysis of the square foot cost on several parcels indicates that the price paid by Mr. Farrey for his demolition was below this average.
