Miami, Florida met at its regular meeting place in the City Hall, 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, Florida in regu- lar session. The meeting was called to order at 1:14 O'clock p.M. by Mayor Maurice A. Ferre with the following members of the Commission found to be present: Commissioner .Toe Carollo Commissioner J. L. Plummer, Jr. Commissioner (Rev.) Theodore Gibson Mayor Maurice A. Ferre ALSO PRESENT: Joseph R. Grassie, City Manager George F. Knox, City Attorney Matty Hirai, Assistant City Clerk ABSENT: Vice -Mayor Armando Lacasa An invocation was delivered by Reverend Gibson who then led those present in a picd,;e of allegiance to the flag. 1. EXPRESSION OF CONDOLENCES - LT. EDWARD F. MC DERMOTT; DIRECT ADMINISTRATION TO PREPARE APPROPRIATE PROCLAMATION. Mayor Ferre: before you sit down, may I ask you to stand? And I'd like to ask for a minute of silence for those who have lost their lives this past week in this community with this terrible riot that we had and I want to also make special mention of Edward Mc Dermott, one of Miami's finest policemen, who had a heart attack during this whole process and even though it wasn't directly attributable to the riot he nevertheless was under the pressure and the strain and he happened to be one of the better City of Miami employees for many many years and I think in our moment of prayer we should remember him along with the others who did lose their lives tragically in this whole event, both black and white. - A MOMENT OF SILENCE. FOLLOWED - Mayor Ferre: All right, this is a Reqular City of Miami City Commission Meet- ing. I have requested that we meet a half hoer earlier because obviously this community is expecting this Commission to say something in reference to the events that started to occur last Saturday night. And I would like to in following the words on Lt. Mc Dermott, perhaps, Plummer, you might want to offer a motion of condolence to the tamely. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, Lt. M.: Dermott was survived by a mother in New York, a brother and two daughters. I think it would be appropriate that this Com- mission send the resolution to the family, copying in each member of the fam- ily. If the Clerk will contact my office I will give you their full names and addresses. Mayor Ferre: All right, Mr. Plummer, since you are a personal friend of the families and were of Lt. Mc Dermott. I would like to ask you to kind of over- see to make sure that the proclamation is written properly, I mean the reso- lution is properly worded to your satisfaction. And then if you'll have your secretary, or have it delivered to my office I'm sure we can get it circulated and have everybody sign it. 01 rt s MAY 2 21960 CJ 2. DISCUSSION OF RESENT CIVIL. DiSTURB NCES. Mayor Ferre: I would like to ririybc !;rend five minutes ,ind give you, read into the record f.or you a ref-ort I l,ct w,1s c,:;kt-d b',' 1 il,: 1'resid: of the United .States.

The first thing that the Kerner Cornrr-isFion Report says is that Amcrid:a was ht_a,iir.g,"...Our nation is rxwirlg two societ- ies, one black one w;llte, sepaiate and urle,,llal."

What. white Americans }havp never fully underst .,od l,ut what the tiE,clydj c 111 nc'`.-d r forget is that white soc:.iety is deE-r-ly .implld,at.e.d in the ghetto - white institutions created it, whist! institutions maintain it and w'iite society c:onuones it. It is time now to turn with all the purpose of ()ur cormand to the rr„ijor un- finished bilsiness of this nation. It- is time to aciopt strat:ecjies for action that will prodticE_- dauick and visibLe l:r.oc;ress.

Thuse wurds come to our minds as we conclude this Kerner Report. We have 1IJ:'i_ _t beginr:ir,-, •.Je have learner, mud.h but we uncovered no startling truths, no unique insights, no simple solutions. The destruction and the bitterne,;s of racial disorder, the harsh polemics of black revolt and white repression have been seen and heard time and time again in this country. It is now time to e.:i the destruction and the rt (1'2 MAY 2 21980 violence not only in the streets of the ghetto but in tlic lives of the people in the United States. And I don't think we need any other rL-ports, it's all mere in this Kerner Commission i-to ,vrt of -2 years ago. I (don't think there is very much more that ar,ybodv -ou+.d ads to that. 1, the day before yesterday issued a memolandtu,l whi;:ll you all received copies of and what I did basically 'is propose; t:, the President, to the Governor and to our Congre:-siona) cel,.rQ, ion that. the President immediately create a special task farce in N.iami to relieve t-i,t ecnr:ar.lc pressure points which were as mulch Le bloll,e fol tilt.; d:=; t_:ye Mc :!uffie sltu;�tlon; (2) that this t1,sk A',"-i.e h,' cr;nj r,:_rij of j;I t':'C flt e':1Ve'S C: all th:3 (-Qral agencies; that this task torce. tic=::r,ii<lr in-'_,Ilce1,' to F.E.M.A. wliich is the Federal EmercFenc:y Task Forct 1A"Ii,;il has been so t f l"ecti.ve if; Miami aut irhg t:;t Cuban Crisis of t efu'_;t_c s; t r.at thr-re be learler that this cunununity Could look to as a t'oc,idinut.ir,g r-ff�,it.; that this task force include the Deiart- ments o2.

Who is q-Dino to live in Park West )a-,t three blocks away front Culmer/Gvertown? Who wants to live there black or white: N000dy is going to want to 1ije there. So I think we i:_ive tc, realize that if we're going to b,. ld up the downtown core area rt QU 3 MAY 2 219"" as a residential area we've got to start cleaning up the slum sections that are in the westerly portion of downtown and until we do that I don't think we should really talk too much about using transfer of funds from one part of downtown to another part of downtown esr,rrcially it, is going to work espec- ially after the riots that we've had this week in Miami. I would like to recommend in coll4uriction with that: that we call along with the CRB, the Chamber of C-r',mrrrc'e and Met.ropolitar riade County a summit moet.ir,g. At that surruni t meeting we will have repres( n t. ,', Ives from the White lic use , I would expect the Governoi to be there himself so that we could put all the re- sources of the federal, state an0 kcal. government. }iowever, I do think that the task falls upon the hu i:,es : comn:,rnity as much as on local govern- ment. The hatikinc; community of Sc)utl, Florida has over 4 billion riollars in deposits. I don't see any reason wh;, Arnerifirst, Southeast bank and the other savings and loan and i,,7nkiric; institutions that. just in Miami alone have over 5 rli l]ars toc;rthPr, why they should not he re;uc:_ted to on a proportiona*e basis, proportionate to their deposits to come: up with a 2 or a $300,000,000 loan portfolio rniaranteed by somr- of these fund:", that we might be able to get on t(tx increment so that what we might do with our. funds, Mr. Grassic, is use them in the very samf way that FHA ,and the VA and the veterans bills were use-d na`_ior. lly after the war, that is as a giiarant.ee for loans so that wr would quarar,tee a certain ;portion of the pot,:ntial losses so that perh,_p ; we r iyht bra able to cet a Larger pool from the harks for a lorry term lower i,"Itcr�>: t rate; for the reconstruction of this area.

Fatner, au you walls to Say J. L.? Mr. Lacasa: In the outline th�.t you have given us as to what you sf•e as the major problem ,-treas as wF,l l as p ss hie. :>c,lut"ions, you m<:nt ionc.d the question of the tax incrtmi.:It ana I would like for you to explain a little bit more the impact that this could have on the taxpayers of the City of Miami if any. Mayor Ferre: There is absolutely no impact on the existing taxpayers of Miami the way this is being propc,scd. Tax increment is vxact'_y wh-r. the word says, in other words what you do is you retai:: 'r.e difference between the existing tax and the future tax. That's what the tax increment plan is, it is used in sever, states of the Unite: statfs. Michigan is one of the iatter ones that have put it into affect., Cali.fc-nia and Kar:sas City, Missouri are one of the.... Kansas City is perhaFs one of the most dramatic 04 MAY 2 21980 rt examples of a city being revitalized with tax increment. Again, let's take the case of Ball Point, Mr. Ted Gould's Pfoject. He now pays $E00,000 of yearly taxes to the County, the :.chcoi i,oard and tho. City. If he puts up a $200,000,000 project which is wl,at he o.ys lie will put up, ,lnd assuming it is assessed at 100% and assuming lie lay:: the full rallage, these are all basic assumptions for simple mathem.ytical reasons, he would then be paying $6,000,000 worth of taxes, ruuyi-:ly $2,Oo0,000 to eacii entity of government. The $2,000,000 that gods to the s,-hool systcern by law we c,lnnot touch so we're only dcalln(j with a4,b0C,!;::u and since it 1:, the :n Ie:m,3nt from $600,000 to $4,01,)i1,000 we art, 1-hen dealing with C,f that $3,400,000 we could not use the full. amc:unt. be,_ause we need tc, rendt:r fire service, pol- ice service and other bas1C 6•- rvi :es and so v.`ith the C•f.:ullt y t ter we would negotiate with the County i ail, fir aryclment. sake, ass,,.m�:ig teat we might be able to come to an agrcemcnt usinc; a r,li]licr. dollars, may::'(- $2,000,000 out of the a,40 -),000 it .cease for the purposes of rrdc _, lEamt:,t.

Mayor Ferre: Well, all arguments have been presented, is that correct? Mr. Knox: Yes, sir. Mayor Ferre; Arid that was about two or three months ago so they're expect- ing some kind of e, decision in thcc relatively near future. If that goes in favor of Miami Beach it is my understanding from the attorneys that we have discussed this with that t:hc chances for Miami are much better than they were for Miami Beach for many legal_ reasons that I'm not able to tell you. Mr. Carollo: If I may, Mr. Mayor, I'd like to make a few statements. Mayor Ferre: Yes, of course. Mr. Carollo: I don't think there is doubt in anybody's mind in this commun- ity that we're faced with a lot of issues, a lot of problems that certainly need and demand our immediate att,cntioll and a,tion. However, T think we have to look at things the way they are and face reality.

The other area I'd like to talk about now is a lot of our public officials have talked about many of the problems that we have but I'd just like tr) p,>rsona'-ly go on record now as one individual on this Commission and thank the Miami Pc,l ic:e Departtnerct ,nd t!-,e Miami Fire Department for the c,utstanc3inq jOh th t these men rid, all of them, black and white and our in those departmr'nts to protect our ]iVQs clod the lives of our families and our property in this community. These men were out there risking their lives to }protect our skin, our hro}:carry, I' I m,iy re- peat what one police. officor stated to me yesteraay: He said. "^ .I,rissioner, when I was cal It-d on emt•rgency during the my little ;webbed me by the leg aprl she said, 'Daddy, T don't w.yr,t you to gu, I d"r't want anything to happ—r: to yo;:. You mio_ht (jet killed.' fie said he 1: <,};cc1 at her and said, Don't worry, some<�ne has tc' nrote—t_ our. City." Arr: it is nice to point out the mistakes that might he made by law er,forcem-r,t person- nel, everyone mikes rni ;t:.;;l:es but At tnc same time let's s l i inci cut all the facts. Let's thank those cops that were our thcre ris,Kinc; their lives when we needed them because if we don't cio it now tl;t- time rrignt rnme when we neea a cop and they might not be there ht:cause ::;r the type of money they get paid it's not wc,rth ge t.t i r,i; k i l : eC or Shot crown!. At. t:h=_ Sair iE' time, as one in.lividu,'il on this Commission, 1 w:ant to �3r c;t, f ,:i lie recur,: that I am definitely definitely not in favor of any fora, nf amnesty in any w.ty shape or form for people th,ilt,- were violatinc� the law, people that w,.r(-- 1,)r)ti.ng, people that were 1)urnir,e people that we re snipin, and r,urdc r :,er ut ople in the streets. Tf thic- l lst ,q(.•rk wQ wc,uid have beer: told thit w wtoild have had people in this c;omrnu,,Aty m•,:tilated the way they were - ears cut off, tongues cut out, arms, murc]crecl it, tite street the w,ly they we -re, these were both white an,i black citizens of our community - 1 don't think anyone here would have btu'..uved that. We wol:;,.i have said, well, this. is Some- thing that couldn't happen in Arneric�, it couldn't happen in this day and age - well, it dici and it happene9 in our City. as one individual on this Commission, I plead with the people responsible in our investigative agenc- ies to do everything within their power to find and locate and prosecute to the fullest the anarchists and murderers that we had in the street killing both black and white citizens. Mr. Lacasa: Mr. Mayor? Mayor Fer.re: Yes, sir. Mr. Lacasa: I'd like to ,o on record in support of what Commissioner Carollo has just stated. I believe that if we are going to have a law abiding com- munity we have to enforce our laws. This is not a matter or white Anglos, Latins or The three segments of this community have suffered out of these happenings. actually 1 do believe that the segment of this commun- ity that has suffered the most is precisely the Black community because it was in those neighborhoods where these activities took place. To protect then; because the great majority of those Blacks were not involved in the rioting, they were as victimized by those riotings as we were all, to pro- tect those and to ensure .)urseives that these things don't happen, again we have `_o give examples. There is an old saying in criminal law that says that a law that is not enforced is not a law at all. Very recently there was a report, a nationwide report. that over 66% of the crimes that are being committed are being corunitted by people that have already been found guilty of one or more crimes and they are in the street either on parole or with their sentences cut :,port and these people go hack to the commun- ity of law abiding citizens to repeat their misrleeds at c•ur expense. The citizens of the City of Miami, Blacks, Latins, Anglos pay tares, abide by the law and in turn expect the protection of both our low tnfor ement agenc- ies as well as our Judicial system- Our law enforcement agencies have done well with a lot of restraint but with a lot of responsibility they protected u.ir lives and property at the risk of their own. My feeling is that it is r,ow the Judicial system, the one that has; to see that that protection is extended to everybody and the only way that that can be achiOved is if for once those who commit crim-5 go to jail and this is not only punishment by itself but it is also measures that will ensure that in the future people might have more restraint or might think twice before embarking in these type of activities. �6 MAY 2 21980 t f ; .

Thank you very much. `7 MAY 2 21980 rt rm rm Mayor Ferre: All right, Mr. Grassie, through you to Mr. Gary, I guess. Mr. Howard Gary: Mr. Mayor, City Commissioners, in ad,lition to what Georgia, Mrs. Ayres has said through the City manager I have had the oppor- tunity of meeting „ttwo or three of the Cauununity ielation R,_,ar'.'s meetings which have been conducted on a daily basis ar,d o7,,c' of tl-,r., imm- irate issues, as Mrs. Tunes itlt,ntified was one of a shelter and foo,3 l,r,_-IA m fir vayrants that live in the Overtown area clue to the destruction of iu,mcs that they had previously o tctipied. At the ili rect ion of th.-, City M,,ri,:u,�r we s�_,t up a task force this m<>rni.ny t_o see how we cr-,uld deal with this Now we have identified ipproxim,it.cly five location!; where we could 'potentially if you agreed to distribute food at. Those are Lumi,,as Park, the. c. C!. iranch Of- fice, Reese I'ark, D.,r >ey Prirk and Williams Park. W - have also iJent.if.ied additional iesources in terms of tents, blankets, exce�-s clothing, camp food and cots as the resul c of as:;.i st;Vlc-e from Mr. radio who hat1 been working with the Cuban refuctee problem. We are re,,o;rmcn.iing at this time that if you so desire that we distribute fond at thest. i),,rks. We hive 3one t,r. estimation of the cost that would be required to complete this task. We're suggesting first of all that the food program begin this afternoon; at. 5, and continue through the end of Monday and that would bc- the end of the program. We are suggesting that. the distribution hnors be frork 9 to 10.30, the afternoon snack be from 12:30 to 1:30 and that dinner be from 5 to 7 P.M.. Mayor Ferre: For how many people would that be? Mr. Gary: We're talking about 2,000 people. Mayor Ferre: For how long? Mr. Gary: Until the end of Monday because Monday is the end of the holiday. Mayor Ferre: And will the County share in that? Mr. Gary: Well, the County has a food program right now. Their food is staple food, foods that are in cams that have to be processed for eating. Mayor Ferre: How come we always get canned from the County? Mr. Gary: Well, I can't speak for the County. The problem is that these people need prepared foods because they have no places to prepare the foods. Nuw with re( to the number of people, this is an estimate. Mrs. Ayres plans to meet with some ministers in the Overtown area at Bethel AME Church at 3 O'Clock to assess the number of people that we're talking about. We don't invision it's going to be any more than 2,000, hopefully it will be less than 2,000. She has asked the church ministers to (gather all those people together and come to that church for a head count and also to identi- fy the extent of the problem. We have, if you desire to implement such a program, we have worked with the Sanitation Dc:part-ment, the Recreation Depart- ment, Mr. Odio and also the Parks Department to coordinate these efforts which would include Sanitation, putting up of the tents, the distribution and we've also talked to the Red Cross about picking up the food and distributing it to sites. We've worked on the volunteers and we've also worked out a plan to get volunteers from the community as well the City. Now if you decide to implement this program the cost would be for the 3-day period and one night. It would be approximately $63,000. Now this is an estimate based on 2,000 people, based or, serving breakfast at $2.00 for breakfast.... Mr. Carollo: Howard, excuse, me, did you say $63,000? Mr. Cary: $63,000. We're talking_ about an estimated 2,000 people, you're t.,Aking about serving three meals - for breakfast $2.00 per person, snack $1.50 per person, dinner $3.50. Now through our discussions with various vendors who could provide food these costs may come under what our original estimates are. A number of the vendors have agreed to negotiate prices. So really the price may be less than that based on the negotiated price as well as the number of clients to be served. Mr. Carollo: Are these people that...... Mayor Ferre: Commissioner Carollo. Mr. Carollo: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Are these people that lost their homes, in other words they either were renting an apartment or owned a home that lost it because of fire or when you say vagrant are you referring to.... MAY 2 219on 80 rt t t Mr. Gary: That's for lack of a better word. These are people who live in the street, who at night live in abandoned houses. They live in the parks, abandoned housing for whatever reason. These are the people we're talking about. Mayor Ferre: You say there's 2 to 3,000 people? Mr. Gary: That's our initial estimate, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferre: Well, how are we going to identify who these people are? Mr. Plummer: That's the problem. Mr. Gary: Well, Mrs. Ayers along with some community groups know the people and they will be at the church, we plan if you agree.... Mayor Ferre: Georgia, Mrs. Ayers, how can you identify them? Mrs. Ayers: Mayor Ferre, I also h,jppen to be a L fe. insurance agent and have been, our office b(.forc we moved was at "21 N.W. 9th Street. A lot of these people I see are.l)eople that I've been seeing for the past 25 years and I know them personally. Mayor Ferre: You're going to identify all 2,000 of them? Mrs. Ayers: I wouldn't F(i:gin to tell you a lie like that, no, I can't identi- fy 2,000 but I depend on the word of those other persons who are there. I don't ::ave t, actually cepend or-, their words, you can take one look at them or small the bidy to know that they have no place to wash, you can tell that they are actually the people who are livinq on the Streets. Mayor Ferre.: iou' r« ?tiny, Hciwa d, if 1. niay, and I don't mean to start getting into quit)bling- :brut dollars and gents on this but you know we have some programs, fur example, the one ;that Trchie Hardwic runs in Coconut Grove and the c�i:e that ViI-Javerue runs in Tittle Havana and those meals run under $2.00, those_ hot meal. Mr. Gary: As I said to you, Mayor, tries:: were cur initial. estimates as we begat, to contact vendors. Some were coming at 3, some were coming at 2, some were saying that they would negotiate their original going price. Mayor Ferre: But we have a place to start with and that is the existing contracts that we have and that probably might be the best place. Mr. Gary: Well, we contacted Villaverde and he did say it was at $2.00. Mayor Ferre: $2.00 per hot meal? Mr. Gary: Yes. Mayor Ferre: And $1.50 for breakfast, is that what you said? Mr. Gary: We've been getting from $1.50 to $1.75 for breakfast. Mayor Ferre: Okay, so you're talking about $5.00 per person per day. Mr. Plummer.: No. Mr. Gary: Well, my initial estimate was $7.00, based on what contacts we've mare it. will probably be less than that, $5.00 is a good estimate. Mayor Ferre: So if we were to estimate $5.00 per person per day you're talxing about $1,000 a day. Mr. Grassie: No, you're talking about $10,000 per day. Mayor Ferre: Oh, $10,000 a day, yes. Mr. Gary: Four days is $40,000 plus one night. .r Mayor Ferre: How much of that can we get the County to share with us? Mr. Grassie: The County has its own program, Mr. Mayor,in the County. This would basically cover the City. The likelihoo3 is that we couldn't get them to share in any of the costs. -�q MAY 2 2 1980 C r' Mr. Plummers Are they doing this same thing in the County? Mr. Gary: Yes, they are, only thing is they aren't doing prepared foods. They're providing foods that have to be prepared. Mr. Grassie: In other words cans. Mayor Ferre: Well, what's the---- I frankly don't know how we can not do something for people that are out on the street starving and not getting a square meal at this tragic point. On the other hand, it's certainly not the role of local government to feed people, it's not the role of the City. I think these are very special circumstances, however, that require a very humanitarian look. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, if I may, and I concur with your sentiments, of course, nobody wants to see anybody go hungry. But you know in the same way that this City gave away the Housing Department and many other depart- ments we gave away welfare and Howard, it would seem to me that Dade County Welfare is the agency that should be the coordinating agency and, you know, that's County taxes that goes for everyone. Now, you know, are we being forced into the same corner that we find ourselves quite often that those who are charged with the responsibility are not once again living up to that responsibility? Mr. Gary: You know, as I reconunended to you this is only for four days. You know the County has this problem, it has some unusual circumstances in trying to gear up to meet. the ne,!ds and I guess what I'm saying is they have a food program, it is going, it is effective and we have a problem in terms of prepared food. And I would hope, and I talked with Mr. Dewey Knight today, they are in the process of trying to gear up for emergency welfare assistance but they don't invisi.on that to go into affect for about two or three days. In the meantime something has to be done for those citi- zens that are presently.... Mr. Plummer: Howard, we're losing something here. This is, unless I'm mis- taken, is definitely under the auspices of the Welfare Department - it is welfare. Now, ii I'm losing something tell me. Mrs. Ayers: Dade County Welfare, if you ever had to apply for Dade County Welfare you've qot to have a place, an address where you live. A Dade County Welfare Social Worker :rust come out and make an interview of your situation. Then you've got two or three days before you can get it. Being an employee of Dade County, well I'm currently on long-term disability, but knowing the structure as I do if I thought that I could have gotten it from there I would not be here. And right at this moment I promised those peo- ple, I went to churches I told you yesterday and begged money and went to the store and bought s,.andwiches and one of the ministers and I distributed. I promised them that they would eat today. Right now I have money from the churches to go buy bread and meat to take to them. I cannot guarantee them everyday that I can do this so that's why I'm appealing to you. Mayor Ferre: Borgia, let me ask the Manager. Mr. Manager, the President has evidently declared the northwest part of Miami as a national disaster area for the purposes of SBA loans. Now my question to you, sir, is would similar to the Cuban refugee problem we be entitled to request repayment of any advances that we might make on an emergency nature? Mr. Grassie: For food no. Mayor Ferre: There would be no way that we could petition the President to get refunded on a critical, on a crisis basis? Mr. Grassie: Yes, we can petition. There is not a known program at this time to provide food. Mayor Ferre: If we declare it as an emergency area and say that we have a need here to feed these people that have been affected this way I think we might be able to request the federal government to come in and refund us for this on a special grant basis. Now it may not work, we may not be able to 7,L th.; t money back. Mr. Grassie: We can ask, we can certainly ask and we can try and make a case for the fact that this is an exceptional circumstance, it is not a normal kind of a program the federal government has outlined and we can ask them to modify their st#ndard practice. i © MAY 2 21980 rt I t Mr. Carollo: Mr. Mayor, if I may pro,_-ose sojnethi.ng. Sinco we're talking about people that from what I gather here are people that were not renting apartments before or owned ]-comes or wore not employed, in other words we are talking about, as was stated here by the lady here and i;oward Gary of vac_ r. ants . I myself don't even eat tl,_ ce times a day but I'll r.)a willing to feed these people for the amount stated twi._e• a day with one condition that a list c:f all these people that ,are hungry and want to eat be taken, that they work for the City c,f Miamii in helping ciedn up the areas that have been affected, they'd eat, I'm all for t.nat. _ Mrs. Ayers: Pardon me for i.nterrul,ting, sir, I happen to be out. there. The very first person 1 fed wa:, just released from Jackson Memorial Hospital. His feet were so swo,len that he ca;�nor_ walk so there are certain people that I will have to personally deliver the food to and I wish if you don't believe me you would tour the area. Mr. Carollo: In cases like that I don't think anyone would object to.... Mayor Ferre: I think what Commissioner Carollo is talking about. is.... Mrs. Ayers: Well, another person I was feeding, he keeled over because he suffers from epilepsy. Mr. Carollo: But I don't think all 2,000 people would fall into that cate- gory. Mayor Ferre: I think what Mr. Carollo is saying is that we would give these people two hot meals a day provided that they also worked for that. In other wards, and it isn't 'just a question of handing out food but rather do- ing that in return for a couple of hours work a '.ay, for example. N,rs. Avers: Well, r.Uw ar,_ you going to propose that? Who is L7oing to take the time right now while these people are hungry from yesterday? How are you 3oinq to do that, your h(.)nor? Mayor r'erre: Well, I don't know how we would do it, I think we would have to get their ndm,_-s and ask them it they would be willing to help clean up the City and I don't know how in the future we would do that. Mrs. Ayers: Are you prepared right now to go out there and line up all those people starting from 5th Street down to about 29th Street? Do we have that kind of time when they're hungry? Thank you. Mr. Caro.Llo: The story as I see it is this, that we have to try to be as humane as we possibly can. I an for being humane, I certainly am but at Uie same time I don't want to encourage anybody to think that the City is going to provide hot meals on a routine basis in the future and I don't want the national media to pica up on this and then get every hobo in the United States coming to Miami to yet a hot meal either. I want to help these people, be just but at the same time let's try to, you know we're helping them let's try to get t.hem tc help us to some limit. This is what I'm saying, I'm say- ing let's work together. Mayon Ferre: I realize that in mnny cases we may not be at:le to work that out but I think it puts the burden on soi;,e of thes,• ppc) to if the City of ML.dmi goes out $40,000 that hopefully we'll get something in return. And I ur�deistan,i the logic of that and the return might be an assistance to help :lean up the City. Otherwise, I think the problem is you know the City of Miami just is not structured to do that. V.-. Gary: If I may? Mayor Ferre: Please. Mr. Gary: Sind everybody has been talking the causes for the civil disturb- ance, one of the causes is that Black people don't have faith in their govern- ment. I don't think it would instill any more faith in this government if we give them fund under this guise that they've got to pay us back. I would sug- gest that we either adopt the program without any strings attached or don't aduj,'. it at al:. Mr. Plummer: Well, Howard, old buddy, let me tell you something. I'm not I asking for anything back, I'm asking for pride in the community and help to clean up their own. Now, I would put it strictly c,., a voluntary basis. I'm not going to make it mandatory, I would have a sign that those that are rt Y1 MAY 2 21980 physically able to help clean up please volunteer to do so. That's not putting any strings, but I would hope that the pride of the community would want to get it cleaned up and these people who are being fed would be part of that pride and part of that help. Mr. Gary: I would agree with that if you don't associate it with the food program. Mayor Ferre: Well, I think it ought to be on a voluntary basis, I would concur with that. But you know it is not the role, Georgia, it is not the role of the City of Miami to do this, I'm sorry. It is not the role of this City. Now you're coming here because you can't evidently get it from your own government, the County. Mrs. Ayers: No, I'm not coming here because I can't get it from my own government.... Mayor Ferre: Oh, well then why don't we have the problem solved? Mrs. Ayers: Let me say this to you all, and I told Howard this, and I am damned tired. I've been running that riot ever since it started. It bugs me, in 68 it was the same thing, 70 the same thing - we got to beg you for a few thousand dollars just to feed somebody. I have to go back to 1968 when I told you all in a time of peace you worry about a few dollars and now this riot has brought. Dade County to its knees - pardon the expression, Reverend - to it's arss really. Now you talk about feedinq a few people, if you don't feed them all these black folks got to do is yo out there and tell them, you know the City of Miami don't want to spend a few thousand dollars to feed you people and then start rioting all over again. Which is the most. important. Mayor, there are I,eople out there who really want them to do so and I want to qet back to my own agency. Yes, I confronted them about feeding the peol:le. Our centers every morning is distributing canned food, beans and peas to those people. These people, the folk that I'm talking about. don't have any place to cook. I'm only asking you to feed them _intil hopefully some_,where alor:g the line somebody will come up to..... come up after Moi:day, that's all. Mayor Ferre: (7e)rgia, yus, yes, you have my vote yes. But I want to ask you, there are four yov,-rnr.eents. You have the federal government, you have the state government, you have the county government and you have the little old City of Miami. And don't you find it kind of strange and ironic that here you are as a County Employee pleading with the City of Miami Commis- sion? Now wait a minute, let me finish now, I didn't interrupt you. I didn't interrupt you. Let me finish and thenl won't interrupt you when you rebut. Okay? Now right now the State of Florida is haggling, haggling over $200,000,000 of extra funds that they have in Tallahassee that they don't know what to do with and they're arguing as to whether or not they're going to put it into the school system or whether they're going to reduce taxes or they're going to build this or build that. Now I want to ask you something because you and I talked about talking to Carey Meeks and the Dade Delegation and Senator Paul Steinberg is the chairman. Have you talked to Senator Paul Steinberg? Have you talked to Cary Meeks to see if we can get perhaps 40 or 50 or $100,000, out of all that $200,000,000 surplus money that the state has for this purpose? Mrs. Ayers: Mayor, there have been so darned many meetings and everybody is shifting responsibility from one government to the other. I mentioned this to Howard and to Grassie, I'm so tired of the County telling me it is the City's problem aril the City telling me it's the County's problem, all I see is a human needs problem. Mr. Carollo: I could understand your feelings on that, but if I may, Mr. Mayor, you know Howard, I don't like to mix chicken salad with chicken feed an.j if this was a ce where we had people that were working, taxpayers who were renting ai.,irtmcnts or owned a home and they were left homeless - hey, no questions asked, let's yet the money. This is nest the case. We're not talking about people who were taxpayers, we're talking about people that were out in the streets from the start, as you called them becgers. Now, I'm willing to make the following motion: That we provide two hot meals a clay, make this voluntary, .gee what pride there is in these people out there as Mr. Plummer stated, if after the first day we don't get at least25% of the people that are being fed to volunteer to help those neighborhoods that they live in supposedly, to help then the next day it should be cut down to one meal a day until the time that they've aske•;i. rt 12 MAY 2 21980 Mayor Ferre: All right, we have that in the form of a motion. Is there a second? Mr. Carollo: Is this fair enough? Okay. Mr. I,acasa: I second that motion. Mayor Ferre: All right, there is a second. Under discussion? Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, I want to vote against the motion but I can't. I want to vote against it because of what Mr. Gary said and I don't want to attach strings or hole threats over hungry people and I don't think that it is right. I'm going to vote for the. motica because it will at ].east provide the food. I think and would 1�ope those_ wllo wuld would 1,rovide on a voluntary basis to work to help t.1-141ir owr. , rn,i�lit} . I :�c.,t;'t wart to hold any strings over anybody's head that are hungry. Tiie meane_t man in the world is a man who has an empty belly an3 he's liable to do anything so T want to fill that belly up until at least Monday and hopefully by that time there will be some program in. I will vote with the motion but my thoughts are against it. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Grassie, where are we going to get these funds from? Whatt do we have to cut out now? What program do we have to cut now or what employees do we not hire? Mr. Grassie: I can't tell you th,it at this point, Mr. Mayor, all I can tell you is just as is the case with the 4195,000 tnat we're appropriating today presumably for a program that. yUu approved last Commission Meeting, it can be done. we'll cut something. We've been designing this program since this morning. I can't tell you what will be cut but I can tell you that we can do it. Mayor Ferre: To the maker of the motion I'd like to ask that you would in- clude that the total amount not exceed $10,000 per day and not exceed $40,000 in total. Mr. Carollo: Cert,iinly, Mr. Mayor, I think it is very rightful to include that in there and I'd just like to add one thing if I may. You know, J. L., we talk about not putting something forward with threats, you know there was no th.,eat involved with the motion that was made, you know, if there were any threats it's some of :he statements that I've heard, "Give me this or I'll riot" and I far one w(.)uld not put up with that especially, especially, you know Georgia has 3ust stated that she has known one of these people for 25 years. W(-11, they've stated to me here that these people are vagrants, I cculu only gather that if this person hasn't been working for 25 years somethin, is Extremely wroriy there. And what I am talking about is to encourage people that are able bodied, to encourage them to work for what they have. You know I don't know about other people here but I have come from a very humble upbringing and past and I've learned to work for what little I have and this is all that I'm saying, you know, let's have some pride. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Carollo, I have no problem, and maybe my terminology of a threat was not proper terminology but to me it is implied that if they don't get the workers the second day they're going to be cut down to one meal a day. That's where I have the problems. Mayor Ferre: I really think that you'd be much better off to do it on a voluntary basis because otherwise you may end up having more problems than... F_ Ca.olio: Well this is what we stated, it will be on a voluntary basis. Mayc:t eerre: Yes, but you see, who is going to make the decision as to whether or riot, I co.;pletely sutscribe with what you're trying to do and that is, and I'm 100% in agreement with the philosophy of it but I'm con- cerned about the practical ap1lication of it. And does that mean that we start feeding these people today and tomorrow, if on Saturday we don't have 500 pi�ople willing and ready to work, and who is going to judge? And then are we going to give them the shovels and the brooms and whatever it is going to take to.... Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, there is a sign in my office that says "The only way to measure ability is in results". By Monday when you and I and the rest of this Commission go look around we'll be able to see the results of whether or not they were helpful. 413 MAY 2 21980 Mayor Ferre: Are you willing to assume the responsibility of this, Howard, I mean you the administration? Mr. Gary: Yes. Mayor Ferre: All right, in other words that we're going to try, and it isn't something that we're trying to extract payment, it's that I think we're trying to, I think it is a fair request and it's on a voluntary basis. Okay? Further discussion? Call the roll. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Carollo who moved its adoption: MOTION NO. 80-369 A MOTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO PROVIDE. 2 HOT MEALS A DAY FOR APPROX- IMATELY 2,000 OF THE AFFECTED PEOPLE IN THE RECENT RIOTS AREA, BEGINNING SUCH EMERGENCY PROC;RAM AS OF 6:00 P.M. ON THIS DATE AND RUNNING THROUGH MONDA'i, MAY 26TH, REQUEST- ING THAT EVERY PHYSICALLY ABLE RECIPIhNT IN THIS PROGRAM CAPABLE OF PERFORMING SOME DEGREE OF SERVICE TO THE CITY OF MIAMI DO SO STRICTLY ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS; AND FURTHER STIPUTATING THAT `PHIS EMERGENCY ALLOCATION SHALL NOT EXCEED $10,000 PER DAY OR A TOTAL OF $40,000. Upon being seconded by Commissioner Lacasa, the motion was passed and adopted by the following vote - AYES: Commissioner Joe Carollo Commissioner J. L. Plummer, Jr. Commissioner (Rev.) Theodore Gibson Vice -Mayor Armando Lacasa Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. Mrs. Ayares: Thank you very much. Mayor Ferre: Georgia, would you do me a favor and tell those fellows in the county what we diO? Perhans shame them into doing something themselves rather than going out and giving them canned beans and peas? Mr. Carollo: Georgia, thank you for your concern, we appreciate it. 5. NON -AGENDA - ORDER BUILDINGS SECURED THAT WERE DAMAGED DURING RECENT CIVIL DISTURBANCES. Rev. Gibson: I would hope that this Commission would mandate the proper department of the City of Miami to insist and demand that all of the buildings - I'm only talking about one area that I know something about - that all of the buildings in the area of Coconut Grove which have been interferred with, I want to make sure and get all the voices and ears on this because I want some action. I'm going to wait. Mayor Ferre: I'm sorry, Father, go ahead. Rev. Gibson: I want to make sure that this Commission mandates whoever is in charge or is responsible, and I don't want no pussy -footing around and game playing on this. You tell me how it is done. There were some buildings ghat were affected in the Coconut Grove area. People should have had those buildings boarded up to avoid fires. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, T want to you your departments don't know what they're talking about. They haven't been out there. That between now and morning every buildinq that was or is affected ought to be boarded up forthwith even if you must use the power of eminent domain. Now I happen to know that that can be done. Now, lot m- say some of those pc-,,Ie would board those buildings up themselves but they're waiting for insurance adjustors. It seems to me that this Commission could be very useful - there aren't that many buildings in the Grove - asking the insurance adjustors to speed up the process, go out there, look and see so that those buildings could be closed up forthwith. On Monday morning a building was set on fire. This doesn't make sense. And rt 14 MAY 2 21960 you know the Building Department, nobody has been out to look. Mr. Carollo: Father, I think you have a very good point and if you'd be willing to make that in the form of a motion I'll be willing to second it. Rev. Gibson: Well, I don't need a mct, n, I juLit think that this Commis- sion, that's why we pay people here. 'fell me whc is in charge. You have buildings out there, if a building is not in good order you go out there and you take proper action. Let me explain again so, Mr. Mayor, the Com- mission can do its do. Mayor Ferre: Well, Father, I think we all understood an,l 1 think it can be done very ea_,ily because tiler "ity of Miami under an emergency situation can do many of these things and c.harcie it to the property owners if they haven't protected, and slap a lien if they don't pay it.. Mr. Grassie: That's correct, Mayor- ana members of the City Commission. There is a due prucess step that we have to go through unless it is an eminent danger to the health of people going by. Mayor Ferre: I think you have to get the legal department. Is Mr. Knox here? Mr. Grassie: Basically the step that we have to go through is instruct the property owner to do it and give him a reasonable time to do it. That causes a delay. Mayor Ferre: Do we have anybody from tl�e City Attorne 's Office in the meeting today? Oh, here is Mr. Knox now. Okay. Well then ask Mr. Knox for an answer on that. What is the process, George? Mr. Grassie: The quPsLion, George, has to do with the ability of the City to oblige r,roerty ow.,urs to ooard up their properties if they have been fire gutted, and I presume that there are two scenarios, one is where you have an emin•�nt clanger to the hF�41th of passers-by and the other where you have a public nui.sanc:e. Mr. iaiox: :hat'6 correct, and easent;ally the police power is broad enough that the C-ty Cc;m:aiss�ot, has the mower and authority to do those things which r,..asDr,abl.y are doi5igned to protect generally the health, safety, wel- fare a;,, :norms of the community. Mayor erruWould you tha!; help us w,;rd a resolution that Father Gibson is muA.:.nc '.o the effect L'.,at the administration is requested by this Com- mi.ss�.or, to ixanE:Giately e•✓alu�.te the buildings in both the Coconut Grove are& and tl:rcuchout that are hazards to liie and limb and to the health of the residents and by form <-,f telegrams inunediately advise the property ownt:t:; that they hive whatever legal iimitation, 24 hours or whatever it is you think, to irf.orcn the City of Miami �,dminist.ration as to how quickly they are yuing to i,o:-ird up those places. And if by a date certain they have not acoomplishea that that the City is ordered to make those buildings secuc•_ and send the bill to the property :,wners and if they are not paid within: a period of time that liens be placed against those prop- erties to chat affect. Does that cover it, Father? Rev. Gibson: Yes, sir. Mr. Carollo: Mr. Mayor, if I may ask Father, if he could maybe include in his motion not just Coconut Frove but the entire..... Mayuc Ferre: No, I ii:cluded that - everything. Mr. Carollo: Very well. Mayor Ferre: Is that all right? Rev. Gibson: Sure. Mayor Ferre: Further discussion? All right, call the roll. rt It 5 MAY 2 21980 A i The preceding motion introduced by Commissioner Gibson and seconded by Commissioner Carollo was passed and adopted by a unanimous vote of the City Commission. Said motion was desiynated Motion No. 80-370 and was later formalized by Ordinance 9105. Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor, let me make one other comment. I hope we won't wait until Monday before we get those places boarded up. I need to tell you that you had the riots in the Grove on Saturday night. One place was open Sunday, on Monday the fire started. I hope you get the importance. And if I go out there and I don't see something done about this tomorrow, Mr. Mayor, give me your home number..... Mayor Ferre: you've got my home number. Rev. Gibson: No, you give it to me now so I could ask for an emergency meeting of the Commission and I want some action on the department. Okay? I just want to make sure everybody understands where I am. a `' b. PRESENTATION OF NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION PROGRAM BY REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL. Mayor Ferre: We're now on Item "A" and I apologize to the people from the National Development Council for the long delay but as you can imagine we have had some very serious matters. So at this time, Julio. Mr. Juoio Castano: Mr. Mayor and members of the City Commission, my nave is Julio Castano, I'm Director of the Department of Trade and Commerce. For some time now, approximately a year and a half, the City has been aspiring to become an NPR - Neighborhood Business Rehabilitation Program which is a tri-agency proqram, SBA, EDA and HUD. EDA is the Economic Development Admin- istration. v;e are now being invited to participate in this program as part- ners out of one of the cities out of 33 new cities around the country to participate in this program. This is an extremely important program and it comes into light at this particular time. It is important because I feel that the old saying goes "If you give a man a fish he eats that day, if you teach him to fish he eats forever" and I think this is what this is all about - jobs and economic development for our neighborhoods. Today with us is Mr. John Sauer who is the Director of the National Development Council who is the agency under contract with the NBP. Program and also with us is a representative, the Director of the SBA Programs in South Florida, Mr. Bernard Lane. At this time I would like to call Mr. John Sauer who will give you a brief explanation of what the program entails for the City. Mr. John Sauer: Thank you, Mr. Castano. My name is John Sauer. I'm the Director of the National Development Council in Washington. I have with me today several representatives from our organization, Mr. Michael Schwartz of the National Development Council, a former banker from Philadelphia and Mr. Ron Tigner from the National Development Council, a former banker from Atlanta. We also have two federal representatives from the agencies that support our program and I'd like to introduce them, Mr. Bernard Lane who is the District Director of the Small Business Administration in Miami and also Mr. Ralph Kuntz who is the Community Planning and Development Representative from HUD, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and I guess Ralph isn't right here today, almost Mr. John Jones from EDA was not able to be with us today. The National Development Council is a private non-profit organization and we run a national economic development program initially in 30 cities and Miami is invited to participate in that program and try: -lose of our presentation today is to just brief you on this program altho"... there will be no decision or no vote required on it today. I'm going zo ask Mr. Schwartz to pass out copies of the letter that came to t.:e mayor and to the other Commissioners as well as copies of a blue bunk t:Iat: sumr,,ar- izes this program in considerable detail. While he is doing -hat I'm going to summarize the basics of the program, the essence is that it is a job creating program, a proqram to create private sector jobs in small and mc.d- ium sized businesses city-wide with particular emphasis on the parts of the City which is relevent in Miami today. It is a pilot progra. using the resources of the three big federal agencies that have ::,,.-.ins for economic development, HUEj. EDA and SBA and it has been operative :.. 30 other cities fur the pasti2 years and has generated a billion dollars c: investment in those cities; affecting ov,r $50,000 private sect:.: 1 2 Again, the focus is small and medium size businesses and the reason for that is that in large cities, Miami included, a large percentage of the jobs are in small and medium sized businesses, service businesses, light manufactur- ing, etc. and most folks tend to overlook small and medium sized businesses in their economic development programs. Another aspect of small business is that nationwide much of the growth of new jobs comes from small and med- ium size businesses particularly in larger cities. Now, as I mentioned, this program is underwritten by three federal agencies, HUD, EDA and SBA and the Department of Housing and Urban Development is a lead agency and the letter in front of you is signed by Mr. Robert Hall who is the Assist- ant Secretary of the Economic Development Administration, Mr. Robert Embry who is the Assistant Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Develop- ment and Mr. Vernon weaver who is the administrator of the Small Business Administration. This program does not cost the City anything and it offers tremendous potential for gain in terms of jobs for City residents and tax revenues for the City. It involves the City's Economi7 Development Staff and we've been in preliminary negotiations for the last several months with Mr. Castano and his staff in the City. There are six points to the program and our roll in the National Development Council is to provide technical assistance to the City in helping to implement the points. The first is a commitment from the Mayor and from the Commissioners that small and medium sized business is an important part of the City's economic base and that expansion of small and medium, size businesses is part of what you want to do as part of your economic development strategy. The second part of the program is we provide training to your city staff in business fin- ancing, helping businesses to use a wide array of federal loan programs from Small business Administration, HUD, EDA and other agencies on behalf of businesses in the City. If you're'a businessman located in the City there are programs that can help you but it is sometimes a hopeless alpha- bet sojp of knowing which programs fit and the concept is to have the City's staff be the funnel to be knowledgeable of all the programs working with the federal agencies and with the local banks to deliver the money to the businesses. We are predominantly talking about loans and loan guarantees, part =ularly long term loans for the expansion of factories, for the expan- sion rif service operations, etc. The third part of the program after the City commitment and the City's Economic Development staff is cooperation of the federal agencies. We're fortunate to have two of the agencies with us today but the 5oan guarantees of SBA and the loan guarantees of EDA as well as some of the HUD programs, the UDAG Programs, something you may not have heard of call the 108 Program, the use of CDBG funds for economic development, these are the tools we combine to help the City mobilize this Economic Development Program. A fourth and maybe most important part of the program is the private sector. In the other cities in the southeast that we've been operating in, it's Atlanta, Birmingham, Charleston, South Carolina, etc. and actually only two cities in the southeast were invited to participate in this second round, that's Miami and Louisville, the pri- vate sector, the large banks in Atlanta, Birmingham and Charleston have been a very important part of the program. To date in Birmingham we have generated over $6C,,000,000 of investment in businesses affecting approx- imately 3,000 jobs. In the City of Atlanta we've gotten all of the banks to commit to provide long term financing to the City, over $50,000,000 of long term financing working with the SBA and EDA loan guarantees. So the fourth part of this program is working with the commercial banks. The fifth part is mar:eting with the availability of the loan packagers and the federal agencies ani the banks assisting tc reach out and find the businesses and help them use the program. And the last part is management �f the program, setting goals, a reporting system that we will help the City's staff with and periodic evaluations with yourself and with the City agencies. Now the materials that we've handed out to you, the two pieces of paper, one is a blue book which summarizes the the program, describes cities that this has been operative in elsewhere and secondly which is a let'.or from the feclerai agencies that spells out the program and also the attachment the terms and conditions for participation if the City does chose tc, articipate. 'Probably in a nutshell if you did choose to parti- cipate it •ld help to generate somewhere between 25 to $50,000,000 of investment i businesses in the City to generate something like 2 to 3,000 private sector jobs and more importantly it would be City staff and City banks working together with the federal agencies to make all this happen. It would be designed as an on -going program and our roll would be to, with Mr. Tigner and Mr. Schwartz to be in town on a regular basis working with your staf° and also involving your people in some of training programs in different cities around the country. Now that's a summary of the program and as I mentioned the purpose of the presentation today is merely a brief- ing, it will be the decision of the Mayor and the City Council if you want to participate in this and then we will work with your staff. It does re- quire a written response to this letter from the federal agencies saying 17 MAY 2 21980 yes, we want to participate and here are the things we will do as part of that participation. Mayor Ferre: All right, questions? Mr. Castano? Mr. Castano: Mr. Mayor, I think this falls right in line with a Miami Capital Development Corporation, the program that we have to provide loans and loan guarantees, loan packaging and loan guarantees for small and med- ium sized businesses in the area and I think this is what our �ccnt events are all about, providing jobs for the people. Mayor Ferre: All right, further questions from members of the Commission? Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, let me understand correctly. Is this a thing, Julio, that is strictly from your department, or Mr. Mayor, is this from the gentleman who was here about rather than setting up Economic Develop- ments in each target area that they do an overall situation? Am I.... Mr. Castano: You've got it but let me go through it. A Miami Capital Development Corporation, it's the mother corporation, city-4ide corpora- tion, one corporation. Each target group, each target area will have "X" number of dollars. I think the Commission approved $50,000 to to develop a local economic development capacity in the form of a .-cal development corporation or just to hire a person who will work with a community develop- ment target group to do economic development in that area an-J `.hen once they identify a business or a loan potential bring into the mother cor- poration who will process the package or the guarantee whatever the case may be. Now NBR, what NBR does, it provides us with the know-how, the training and the contacts to facilitate the loan guarantees at the SBA level and at the EDA level. Now SBA we're talking from 0 - $500,000 and EDA from $500,000 up. Mr. Plummer: Let me come back to one point. Was this a.av ",C piuposal in which there were "X" number of dollars that were going to be taken away from each project area to pay for this? Mr. Castano: No. Mr. Plummer: There was a Black gentleman here who was the man as I recall it from Philadelphia. Mr. Castano: Herb Bailey. Mr. Plummer: Herb Bailey. Is this part of that proposal? Mr. Castano: This is a program that the City can participate regardless of Miami Capital Development. It does not need the other to exist. The NBR Program, as a matter of fact, it is -a great honor to be one of the cities chosen to participate and it does not depend on the Miami Capital Development Corporation. Now let me go a step further. When you say that monies will be taken out of areas that's not so. The target group, the board of each community can make that decision and take $50,000 from their assigned CD funds and apply it to economic development but they don't have to do it, it's up to them. Mr. Plummer: Okay. Mayor Ferre; Let me perhaps put this into focus. What this is is an init- iative by the Government of the United States and it started in April of 1978 when the President and the Congress said, Okay, you go ahead and help all thse urban cities redevelop. And this is the structure and so the department has chosen 33 cities and we're very fortunate to be one of those 33 cities. We've been actually begging to be one of these 33 cities for the last couple of years. Mr. Plummer: Maurice, all I was trying to do was to get things in order. Mayor Ferre: J. L., I'm trying to make a statement but go ahead, you finish yours. Mr. Plummer: .... Well, you know I won't let that opportunity go by, when the Mayor wants to be quiet and gives me the right to speak. I am always worried about duplication, I am always worried about the concern of the tar- get area people. As you know, I have made the statement here in some ways that this Commission has shunned the public opinon. So I'm trying to get the ducks in a row is all I was trying to do. You know if this organization rt 18 MAY 2 21980 11 is a great organization, and I'll read the book which I've not had the oppor- tunity to do before, hey, if anybody wants to come in and help - great, we're all with you and that's what it looks like here. :t it. not the other organ- ization. Mayor Ferre: Now lE!t re, I guess I'll start over again. In April of 1978, the President of the United SLatvs and Cnnyress set up a system in which cities could be helped to reverse url,an disinvestment trends by stimulating the local investment into existinq industrial and commerClil. i,>>sir,esses. There are 33 cities that have heel', chosPn, we are one of t:.em. we are very very fortunate to bv c,no of those. There are man,,? ci t i us wi,o Want to be who are not. it h,is taker, us, T muss say, and I say this .in crit:.c:sm, two years to clot thAs.

Now you know, what else can : tell you? Mr. Sauer: Thank you, Mr. Mayor, and we will �:nen work with your staff and we'll bo in touch with you as the pro(3r.am unfolds. Thank you very much for your. attention. Mayor Ferre: Thank you. We don't need ar.ythiny today do we, Mr. Gr.assie?

All ri<,izt, we're now on Item C. Do we need to discuss that at all? Mr. Caroller: Mr. Mayor, unless Mr. Bill Martin is here and he wants to make any discL_si.on I would like to throw open for discussion my feelings, and if I possibly ca:: make it into a moticn. We have one individual that has given as much to this City as anyone else. This indi-idual I think is of the high- est calibre that we possibly have had in the City, has had the highest re- spect in the past and p-esertly by all segments of the community. I would like to present a motion, if I may, and open it up for discussion of naming the Administration Building after our past Fire Chief, Don Hickman. Mayor Ferre: Is there a second on the motion? Mr. Lacasa: I second. Mayor Ferre: Further discussion on the motion? Call the roll. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Carollo who moved its adoption: MOTION NO. 80- 371 A MOTION NAMING THE NEW CITY OF MIAMI ADMINISTRATION BUILD- ING AFTER RETIRED FIRE CHIEF DONAIZ A.

As we are entering the rt p rir tl;ltionttily of Miami is sit- uated because of its planning, local.0 e1nc3 1, •()ples in a very good economic position compared to other areas of the country. We have industry that is sheltered from the recession, we }1,�vt international b:iriks m,.)ving into Miami faster than in any other area in fh(: country.

We are huildinca .tmt ric3's finest public transit, We're rebuiltllr!r 1,jwnt(,wn, we have social Ser%ices equal to any in the country. We li;,ve a ve-ry l,i,:;i.t:i"e story to te71 about the City of Miami. Unfortunately, 35`t, of the construc:ti.)n workers natiorially will be unemployed by the end of the year hit in Miami we're looxi.ng at a bi3lion and a half dollars worth of cr,ru^i+t.cxi anui finded constru_-tion.

And tho 'orimiit^_e.e made a request of the Mayor's Office that an invita;.i.c�n be extended or inquiries about an invit- ation be extended tc, the Prc:c=.;,c3e:,t of the United States and I believe that Mayor Forr.e has },,td sci;r._ ciis�:ussions, vn that. Mayor Ferre: Yes, that's right, we might be able to get the President who might be coming down here sometime in the future to amongst other things to innail(3urate that. t)uil,iii,1. ''hat wc,'.i]d F:robably be in September, However, that would not be in trio im:,7e,iiatt: future and I further think that that's better because as it wcnr}ts out we di -11't havo the furniture, urid we don't have ar—thing else. Mr. Martin: We had a r,eeting yf-rsterday, Mr. Mayor, at which it was deter- mined that the schedule for the installation of the furnishings, the land- scap, the parking, evc,rything would bt" completed before the last week in August and it was suggested '_Yiat a nr,ssible target date would be the first or second Thursday in the month of September, Mayor Ferre: Well, September would be fine because by that time our vaca- tion is over and we're all back.... Mr. PlUminer: Well, the only problem, Maurice, is that we're heavy into budget in September, that's what you're going to have to be careful of. Mayor Ferre: well, I'm sure if the President came down you might want to take an hour off to innaugurate the building. Mr. Martin: We're suggesting, as a matter of fact, a very short 30 minute ceremony.. . Mayor Ferre: All right, thank you very much. Any questions? Mr. Plummer: Yes, the question is.... Mr. Martin: Mr. Mayor, there are a number of other items that I could ... Mayor Ferre: Oh, I'm sorry. Mr. Martin: Part of the program that. we've done, I'll keep this as brief as possible, we're interested in publicizing this as a symbol of the down- town, what's hapF,,�niny in the downtown Miami. We had clamed a 30 minute ceremony followed by a luncheon buffet with an invitational list of 175 People - P"blic officials, guests of hc_rv;r, rel,res�--�tatives of the business and financial, religious, public ar,d �ultutal 7o;r4riur.ities, i'tic cost of that buffet has been volunteereti to be u l.lerwritter. by the archite:-cts and rt 0 MAY loon the general contractors, that is the cost of the catering for that. The planning committee has received underwriting for the creative costs to commission a piece of art work, it is a four color posteL that would show a view of the downtown area done in the City's colors, orange and green and two liyhter versions of the same colors that would show a skyline view of the City of Miami and wouln show because it would he the view from the interstate rather titan file view from the water, tl e City Cc„nplex would be in the fc-regj,ound in the lower left c(;rne'r, the onll wc;rd cu, the poster would be the world "Miami" and the C.ity's sun and palm tree to^o. It would be a signed and nuriuhered limited ,_cllr:i,:; print and it wc,:1 :,a;e a fine piece of art that F<r;l,le woull use to s'no%a pride In the C'_ty of Mr�,n,_ and be a fine c,J-7Jrl,.:moration of tn'_ evcnt..

Mr. Martin: This was initiated by the architect's office. Mr. Plummer: well, you know that's well and good and I'm very happy that you take pride in your City but you know, I have a problem when this is not under the auspices of the City of Miami and : just want to make it absolutely certain t':at w1121, the blocks :.tart falling, as they're going to if you try to limit a lunr•heon with the Fresi.i %-, to 175, you know, who is going to do the inviring?

Mr. Lacasa: Thank you, very m'•ich, Mr. Martin. 8. PRESENTATION OF COWJERPPOPOSALS FOR LEASE AGREEMENTS BY REPRESENTATIVES OF THE MIA11I YACHT CLUB AND THE MIAMI OUTBOARE) CLUB. Mr. Plummer: I would assume we'll be taking D and E together won't we? Mr. Lacasa: Do you want to do it together? Mr. Don Manson: Let's to it together. We have almost identical leases and almost identical proposals. My name is Don Manson. I live at 3491 N.W. 20th Street. I'm this year's CommOdOre at the Miami Yacht Club. As you know, this last year the City commission directed the Yacht Clubs to begin lease renewal negotiations with the City Manager's Office. At that time there were two elements that we were directed to consider, one of which being something other than a dollar a year lease and a fee schedule should be adopted that wculd reflect an advantage for the City of Miami residents. Dur- ing the year of negotiations with Mr. Grassie's staff we have reached agree- ment in all but two areas, one of which is how much more than a dollar a year the club should pay and also the wording and the term of the lease, a 20 year lease. At the last meeting the City Commission asked that the clubs should come back with a counterproposal, we have done this, I believe you have a copy of it. Basically the Club is proposing to hay a 10% surcharge on the dues of all non-resident members. This would comply with the advant- age to the City of Miami resident. In addition to the 10% surcharge the clubs would pay the greater of two suns, either a $10,000 annual payment or 3% of the gross revenues of the club. This would build in an escalation clause and also make the clubs and the City a partnership and expansion of the clubs. Dick, do you have a---? Mr. Richard Taylor: Gentlemen of the Commission, financially this equivo- cates the same sums that the City Commission asked us to pay, roughly orig- inally. In other words you can budget $10,000 per club and then the assess- ment for non-residents will come up almost to the same figure. As the clubs grow we have developed it in on this theory of the 3% of gross which now is a little less than the 10 plus the surcharge but as the club crows that would be an autor.i,itic escalation for the City instead of the corripli- cated formula thtit wally I don't understand, the cost of living index and so fo>rt.!1 and valut, of dollar, it's all in there, page 7 of the louse - I don't und''tstarld it- but this I do understand. The- Outboard Club in the last three yO,,rs h,r:-; dVulil(-d its drUss so on that same basis as t}:e costs, and we hope it don't: but we know it will, of whiskey, food, anything goes ul sc .:ill your 3� and that way you'll have d fair escalation right along with it. The other main thing that we grossly ojected to, the City has remained totally inflexible as far as any negotiation, the page 3 of the lease says, "...the term of this lease shall be three years." We cannot 22 MAY 2 21980 rt 31 i finance in the clut� any capital improvement: or bk.rnds with a lease that starts that way. t.,ow it is really poor worci..:c.e for the simple reason that you also have a provision that the lease is cancelable on six months notice anytime for a legitimate municipal purpose. • Mr. Lacasa: What is the amount of investment that you are contemplating at this point? Mr. Taylor: Well, we can't on three years, we've got to re -do the docks.... Mr. Lacasa: Okay, assuming that you had 20. Mr. Taylor: What we would like to do, we would like to raise $100,000, put a second story on the building because the Junior Chamber of. Cormmerce wants to use it as well as more Coast Guard Auxiliary and then; we'd have: additional space ano also have a Large dock, really not exl:ansir.• just a repair plan because it's a2 5, 000 un the south doc} ,done .,na wt' .,an't do that without actually pu'_t.i.nq out bonds, that's hr,W we h.iilt t.h,' clues house before. I was tl,,e bond t.rustto, they were all i,iiri hac}: i.n 1': ye.irs t(; r)- .exact, of the 20. We would "tilke to do the same z:hing a;air, anci ,e w ir,vc'st. every J011ar dnd, of c'7Ut act, it W1.11 be In rS''OId:3n;= - w'1 L.r'.

The dollar aum is just the same tl:at. the City came up with already but they've got it so cortr'..icated. Mr. Lacasa: What is the gross more or less? Mr. Taylor: The gross right now in our club is $280,000. When it hit 333 we'd be even on the 10,000, I assume that's within the next year or year and a half. Mr. Lacasa: Those 280 includes the fees? Mr. Taylor: Food, bar, income, all total income. That's what it is as of last year.. Arid as I said, I put the 311, in there, I don't think we'll hit 333,000 this year but I'll almost guarantee you we will by the follow- ing year. For exii,mple, if you grant. us this lease we're going to up the dues $50 a year, we have to - well, there came some i^cre 3%. That's another $15,000 of income because our dues are a little over 30,Ou0, that's what they total now. And the dross will: go up and obviously with prices as they iFpear to ao and head to go they will cci,t,nu# rising. So it makes a very siitp e fcr,nu a tl!at anyone cai, figure out at ,he t::id of the year we owe you so much. Thi= yt:ar I'm sure it will be 10,000 plus as Mayor Ferre said he wanted nun -resident penalty in there of 10% of the dues which at this p,-_)i.r,t wi- 11 !)t- approximately $3,030. Yuturisricaily mure members, it dept_:n35 on where they live, it just costs them a little extra to join if they do,,'t live in the City, that's the bottom line. It costs them $10 a year extra :low, $15 then. Mr. Plummer: Tell me again about the cancellation clause. mi. Taylor: You h-ic- written in there, and there was before, I think it is paragraph 27, written there and I understand that, of course, that these leases are c.,eel hie for any reasoriable municipal purpose. Of course, if you really do something you can cancel them out. Mr. Plummer: How many days or months? Mr. Taylor: Six months. Mr. Plummer: Sin months cancelable for any municipal purpose and no cost to the City? Mr. Tavlor: That's correct, well, not exactly no cost. If we were to say spend the $100,000 to put in a new building and yoi approved it you'd give us a prorata credit for the unused portion if all those if's occur. At 23 MAY 2 21980 this point if we did nothing more in the way of capital improvements then it would be just a cancellation. That's the way it's written in and rather lengthily but that's what it boils down to. That was there before and that's understandable or like if the federal government decides they want to make, oh I don't know, something there, an airport or whatever, you know what I mean, any real. governmental reason to take over the island then the lease is cancelable. That's understandable, I know that nobody at this point contemplates abolishing these clubs, I have no doubt about that what- soever. But you do have the saving clause. Mr. Plummer: Well, we'll find out how much you firmly believe that, Mr. Taylor. Mr. Taylor: I believe it, I always have. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Taylor, it would seem reasonable that an extension of a lease would be as you imply, an extension of a lease. When you start talking about improvements that's an expansion on a lease not an extension. Mr. Taylor: Well, the City has contemplated that in here. That is in the lease. Mr. Plummer: All right. What I'm saying is you go put up a $100,000 build- ing for expansion. Okay? Next year for some reason this City deems necess- ary to give you that six months notice for whatever. Okay? I don't think it is fair that this City should have to pick up that tab. You've got to assume if you firmly believe that it is not going to be cancelled, you know you're asking us to take the risk out of your money. Mr. Taylor: That clause is in there and I don't object to that clause, I understand that. Mr. Plummer: Not on a prorata basis. Mr. Taylor: No, I said if we were to build a new building, that's not con- templated. For example, $25,000 of docks, that's maintenance, that wouldn't be a capital improvement, at least I don't think so. That's just preserving what you've got. Mr. Plummer: Look, Dick, I would be very much opposed that if the City gives you notice that the City's got to pick up any of the tab for any of your expansions or your capital improvements. Now you know I'm sorry. That means that if next year for some reason, whatever, for municipal purposes all it is is an action of this Commission. It doesn't have to be proven in court that, what it is. Okay? Mr. Taylor: That's correct. Mr. Plummer: You're saying to me that if you prorata $100,000 over 20 years is $5,000 a year and we cancel you next year the City has to pick up $95,000, I can't buy that. Mr. Taylor: No, not exactly, that isn't, maybe you read it that way. I just said that they have written in here an indemnification if they, the club did such a thing, well it's not, part of that money we're talking about, the first and most thing is taking care of our south dock. Right now we don't have any boats on it over 22 feet, it's flimsy, it's shaking and it's just like $25,000, well that's maintenance. That's the number one thing and you just can't go around to the club of our people and say we'd like $25,000. Mi. Plummer: You can't ask the City taxpayers to put up $25,000. Mr. Taylor: We're not, we built the dock in the first place, we built all of them and we're perfectly willing to take care of them. Mr. Plummer: I'm well aware of that dock being built as you know. Mr. Taylor: I do believe you may have had a callous or so yourself. Mr. Manson: Dick, doesn't *-'gat read the unpaid balance of the mortgage? It doesn't say prorata, doesn't that clause say the unpaid mortgage? Mayor Ferre: Dick, I'll tell you, let me just express my opinion. I've read this thing very very carefully and just as a ;ratter of philosophy, I'm sorry but this is Miami property and the people who are the taxpayers rt •24 MAY 2 2 198 0 .31 4 of Miami are going to get a break - not the club, nut the club - the people. Those members of your respective clubs who aie residents of M ami are going to get a substantial break. I will not vote for anything that does not clearly distinguish between a resident. of Miami and a non-resi(lent of Miami whether they live in Dania or Broward County or 11c,rr;estead or Coral Gables. Mr. Taylor: Mr. Mayor, we did propose that, a surcharge. Mayor Ferre: No, sir, if you read it carefully that is a sithterfupe, Viat says the club will pay - the club will pay. I will not accept "the club will pay". Mr. Taylor: I'm sorry, then that. is a misnomer on my part. Via the club, because I don't think the City would be expected to collect from each indi- vidual, we will surcharge each non-resident member, if 1 wrote it so that it wasn't clear to you that's not what I meant. Mayor Ferre: See, }he. way I read your letter, wha'.. it says is the club will pay for those and that means that everybody is assessed the same amount and then the club pays for those.... Mr. 'Taylor: No, sir, that is not what intentioned. Mayor. Ferre: Okay. Thank you, I just want to get that - it's just a matter of principle, that's ali. Mr. Taylor: I understand because you told me that clearly before and what I meant, and I state clearly for the record that each non-resident member will be surcharged additionally over the resident members. Mayor Ferre: Now let me tell you my second consideration in this and that is as fai as t`,e leas., s arc cu;;,-err,e:3. (l) I am not about to tie up this City's and a :ut.utr_ Ccrn;rissic)n's right and a future Mayor and a future Com- mis:�-..on and a `ut��rt a,.im.ni.stration may have other plans on that property ten years fr)n; now. Now I understand yr)ur point if you go o 300, 000 you jmc; t i z,- that over a 20 year pe i.cc arld this Commission decides that they're going to use that p: _ thing else they owe you l,' _.e.:zs of the 5300,000, they owe you $150,000. Mr. Taylor: Well, that was the City's previous formula on capital improve- ments, not on maintenance. Mayor Ferre: Capital improvements. But 1 want to make sure that we under- stand each other clear that. this City, future City Commissions will on one year's notice at any tir,c: have the right to vacate you - six months. Okay, now, the other thing that I think is essential in this whole process is that this City Commission has got to have the right to approve what you're going to put on there be.:ause I don't want you going in there and putting up a $2,000,000 structure if we're not going to be prepared.... Mr. Taylor: Oh that's in there. Mayor :'erre: So we',,o got to have the right to approve what you're going to put in there and what you're going to do because we may have to swallow that. Mr. Taylor: That's totally in the lease and we didn't object to it. Mr. Plummer: Excuse me, Dick, your original wording was that your expan- sion if in,-,uyred would meet the South Florida building Code and all per- mit- w:,ul,3 t cpcurPd. It's different t=,an what thg rC;yor is saying now. ThO 'f,roz is saying if you put up an A -frame and he wants a B-frame you're gc�inq tc have to live with a B-frame. A and B both meet the South Florida Baii'ing Code. Mayor Ferre: Because it may end up being a City of Miami property, I mean the building. Mr. Plummer: I can live with that. Mr. Taylor: I cdu quote you from the _case, the way you wrote and which we did not object to: The developmental plan for any new club facility must compliment the overall design and planning fcr the Watson Island area, and it goes on to say that only through your City department and approval can we make any.... .25 MAY 2 21980 4 r Mayor Ferre: But it's the City Commission, not the City department. I want the final approval of whatever it is.... Mr. Taylor: The City Manager and director is the way they have it. Mayor Ferre: No, sir, I want the final approval of whatever it is that you're going to put up there to be approved by this Commission or a future Commission. I don't always.... okay? Now, with regards to, that leaves me then with a question of time. The reason why I concur with the adminis- tration's recommendation of three years with a seventeen year extension is because I want to make sure that you go ahead and do something to improve that property and if yoi haven't done it in three years or begun to do it I'm not for giving you any 20 years. Mr. Taylor: Mr. Mayor, you've put us in a heads position, heads you win tails I lose. We ca:,'t sell bonds and make plans on a three year lease, that's the bottom line. ....we can keep what we've got and maintain it well, sure. Mayor Ferre: All right, I will alter that position. Let me do it this way. You've got a three year lease with a seventeen year extension. However, if at anytime you come before this Commission with your final plans, with your financing package and the whole thing done then we will accelerate and give you - if you do it in a year then we'll give you a 19 year contract, if you do it in 2 years you get an 18 year, if you do it in 3 years you get a 17 years and beyond 17 years you don't get any- thing. Mr. Taylor: I think that is very fair because under Worldwide who have given us, you know, basic permission to stay certainly whatever we did would have to be in accordance with them and that's still open end. Mayor Ferre; The purpose of that is to make sure that you proceed to do something because what we don't want to do is we don't want to give you a 20 year lease: and then you not do anything. Mr. Taylor: Mayor., we have to take care of our docks soon, that's one. Mayor Ferre: I'm perfectly willing to when we approve your plan also give you a 19, 18 or 17 year lease depending on how quickly you move. Mr. Plummer: The up is on you. Mayor Ferre: Do you agree with that? Mr. Plummer: Yes, I would also like to add a clause because we've been doing this recently and I think it is for the good of the City, that each club agree that for public purpose they will make their facilities avail- able 12 times a year for public use as designated by this Commission upon available dates. Mr. Taylor: I think that has already happened but I don't mind it at all. Mr. Plummer: I just want it written in. Mayor Ferre: I agree with you, that's fine. Any other clauses? Now what we're left with is money. All right, who is it, Mr. Gunderson that negot- iated this or Jennings? Mr. Grassie: Bill Harrison is the person who is the lease manager, he has dealt with it mostly. Mayor Ferre: well all right, who is going to talk for the City? I don't care who it. is. Would you explain one more time so I can understand it what the difference is between what the two clubs are proposing in money, your estimates. They're proposing $10,000 or 3% of gross. How much is gross last year? Mr. J. E. Gunderson: Well, he's talking about $2800000 last year. Mayor Ferre: Three percent of 260 is $9,000 so we're talking about $10,000 until they get up to high figures. Mr. Gunderson: Okay, let's talk about fair value. Fair return to the City is the first criteria. A fair return to the City has already been determined by two appraisals. MAY 2 21980 31 4 Mayor Ferre: And what do they say? Mr. Gunderson: The appraisal says that in the case of the Outboard Club you're talking about slightly over $13,000. Mayor Ferre: A year. Mr. Gunderson: That's to start with, that's the base. Mr. Carollo: Excuse me, Mr. Mayor, how come we haven't received copies of these appraisals before as before? Mayor Ferre: Where are the appraisals? Mr. Gunderson: We su'-�mitted, well, I think it has been some time ago but we have copies available again. Mayor Ferre: Well wait a minute, the question is did you send them to the City Commission. Mr. Grassie: My recollection, Mayor, is that those were sent to the City Commission at the time that we were considering the Coconut Grove lease which is now about 4 months ago or so. Mr. Gunderson: It's been some time ago. Mayor Ferre: Would you verify that and send a memorandum to Mr. Carollo as to when they were sent? Mr. Carollo; I would certainly appreciate it. Mr. Gunderson: I know the Waterfront Board got them. Mayor Ferre: We're talking about the City Commission, Mr. Gunderson. Mr. Carollo: Does any other member of the Commission remember having received that or not? J. L.? Armando? Mr. Plummer: I don't recall but that doesn't make it yes or no. Mayor Ferre: I d0�ti't recall either but I'll find out in just a second. Mr. Gunderson: In the case of the outboard Club it is a little over $1.i,000, almost $13,200. In the case of the Miami Yacht Club why we're talking about sometning in the ncighbvrhocj of $-:3,000 which is a great deal of difference hetwpen the 51.0,100 mi:,imam that they're guaranteeing and the 3%. Tree T)ercent in the case of the Miami Yach-. Clui) cur, basic- ally almost the same, gross would put them in a portion of either or $10,000 or $9,000 and be greatly under a fair value for the City. Mayor Ferre: The Miami Yacht Club was how much did you say? Mr. Gunderson: The Miami Yacht Club is between 21 and 23,000. Mayor Ferre: Twenty-one to twenty-three, that's the estimate, right? And the other one was 13,000? Mr. Gunderson: Right. Mayor Ferrer Okay. Mr. Plummer: What was that appraisal based on, the amount of square foot- age of property or property and building? Mr. Gunderson: It was based upon income of the property. Mayor Ferre: You mean as is income"? Mr. Gunderson: As currently being used with restrictions of zoning and for the use that it is currently Lei,ig used. Mayor Ferre: Well Okay, let me just make a statement of fact into the record and to both of you gentlemen. My vote has to be predicated at least on the minimum, there is no way I can vote for an- ' thing ot'..•�r than the minimum of what is here and I'm not sayinq that I woulci, you know I might go along with d MAY 2 2 1980 4 r the minimum but certainly I wouldn't go under the minimum of the appraisers. Mr. Taylor: Mr. Mayor, our offer is within hundreds of dollars, I can't tell you exactly how many.... Mayor Ferre: Whatever the minimum is, that's the bottom. Mr. Taylor: It's a negligable difference. Mayor Ferre: The question to you, Mr. Gunderson, again is would you tell us now what the difference is between what they're offering and what you're recommending? Mr. Gunderson: The offer with regards to the Outboard Club is very close to what we would have collected. Mr. Grassie: (INAUDIBLE) Mayor Ferre: Well there's a $3,000 difference. Okay. Mr. Gunderson: But the case, well, he's talking about the addition of the surcharge. See, if you have put the surcharge on it would take up the dif- ference, almost the full slack. All right? In the case of the Yacht..... Mayor Ferre: Well, so the way to do it is to say no less than whatever the minimum is, $13,000 or whatever the surcharge, etc. is. Okay, I've got no problems with that. Mr. Gunderson: But in the case of the Miami Yacht Club you're about $9,000 difference. Mayor Ferre: Are you recommending $23,000 as a minimum? Mr. Gunderson: The way we based the $23,000 that we came up with was 8 cents on the uplands and 2 cents on the bottom lands. Mayor Ferre: You can't get it any cheaper than that, for God's sakes, I'd love to have that deal. Mr. Plummer: The question to the Yacht Club is what is your gross for last year or this year? Mr. Manson: We're being audited now but the first figures look as though we'll be $302,000 gross last year. Mr. Plummer: You're hurting. Mr. Gunderson: He's below the minimum on gross and the minimum of $10,000... Mr. Plummer: But you're basing it on square footage. Mr. Gunderson: You're basing it on uplands and bottom lands. Mr. Plummer: On the square footage. Mr. Gunderson: Yes. Mr. Plummer: What sayeth the Yacht Club? Mr. Manson: The $23,000 figure that Mr. Gunderson is speaking of is based on giving the Miami Yacht Club additional acreage that's not being u:ed by the City on the south side between the existing launching ramps and the Yacht Club's fence now. It's an addition of 3 acres or thereabouts. Mr. plummer: That you're not using? Mr. Manson: No, the City is not using it. Mr. Plummer: Not yet, it's not part of our lease agreement. It's in the new lease but we haven't finished that. We had asked for that.... Mr. Plummer: Now wait a minute now, whoa. I was unaware that you're get- ting additional property. Now let me ask this question. Based on what they have right now what is the appraisal? Mr. Manson: We're back at the same as the Outboard Club, we have acreage... 28 MAY 2 21980 Mr. Gunderson: Well, they're slightly above, you've got about 4�. Mayor Ferre: How much additional land are they getting? Mr. Plummer: Are you, I was not aware that they were getting additional land? Mayor Ferre: They're going to expand their.... Mr. Grassie: They have asked for an additional three acres, Mr. Mayor. Mr. Plummer: Is that outlined here? Mr. Gunderson: The total amount is outlined. Mr. Plummer: No, that they're getting additional lanu. Mr. Gunderson: It was I think in the original memo that we sent a long time ago. Mayor Ferre: You see, that's the problem with these things. I'm going to tell you something. Mr. Gunderson, this is not the way to run a city, Mr. Grassie, I'm sorry. I want this item delayed until you come back in one document, give us all of the pertinent- information - what the appraisals say, how much land is involved, 'row muQh extra land, what kind of buildings they're grin, to put up, how many more slips we're going to have, all of the... Don't come telling me, Mr. Gunderson, that you sent that to my office three months ago. Mr. Gunderson: April 21st.... (INAUDIBIZ , NOT USING MICROPHONE) Mayor Ferre: Is that part of my package today? Mr. Gunderson: It says under financial impact that this lease was expanded from 4.7 acres to 8.56. Mayor Ferre: All right, let me look at it again. On what memorandum is it? Mr. Cunder.son: That's the one, the Miami Yacht Club, April 21st memo. That was the one that vent before the City Commission on the last.... Mayor Ferre: April 21 memorandum. Mr. Plummer: See, I don't have that. Mayor Ferre: You do have it? Mr. Plummer: No, I don't but that's from the last meeting. Mayor Ferre: I'll tell you, here's what I have in my packet, Mr. Gunderson, would you come up and show me where that is? Mr. Gunderson: (INAUDIBLE, NOT USING MICROPHONE) This was in your meeting last time. Mayor Ferre: No, sir, I'm not asking you about my meeting last time or three months ago or three years ago. You're asking me to vote on some- thing today, it's item #16, Item #18 A and B. Would you show me where that information is in my packet, Mr. Gunderson? Mr. ilumitier. It's not. Tong siler+ce) IL is there. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Grassie, are you recommending this? Mr. Grassie: I'm riot recommending the counterproposals of the clubs, no. Mayor Ferre: No, the recommendation signed by James E. Gunderson dated April _21st, proposed lease agreemi-ant to Miami Yacht Club and proposed lease agreement to Miami Outboard Club. Mr. Grassie: Yes, we are recommending it for the following reasons. First, the larger of the three clubs that we have dealt with, the Coconut Grove Sailing Club, has already accepted these terms basically at the direction of the City Commission. Second, the City Commission has established policy which has governed us in our negotiations with these clubs particularly with regard to the way in which we treat residents and non-residents and 29 MAY 2 2 SNOW 4 r on the question of getting appraisals and a fair return to the City. Now, we have had those independent appraisals made, these documents reflect those appraisals and in conformance with the technical information, and with the policy established by the City Commission we recommend the staff position on this document. We have to realize in addition..... Mayor Ferre: Let me ask, the basic question is we're now saying that the Miami Yacht Club is going from 4.7 acres to 8.5 acres out of a total of some 68 acres, as I recall. That's one -sixth or one -seventh or whatever of the total land available. If tomorrow the Disney Corporation came and said, Mr. Grassie, we would 'like to use 8 acres there for a public purpose use but for profit. How much would you end up, would you charge them $23,000 for those 8� acres? Mr. Grassie: About $123,000. Mayor Ferre: All right, but nevertheless, you're recommending that we expand the use without knowing exactly what--- How many more slips are you going to build for these 8� acres? Mr. Manson: Fifty slips. Mayor Ferre: You don't have my vote. Mr. Manson: May I comment for a second? We had in the original lease, the Miami Yacht Club was slightly in excess of 10 acres, 10.2 acres and the City cancelled those leases both the Yacht Club and the Outboard Club's leases in order to build the public launching ramps that are there. At that time they reduced the property from 10.2 acres down to the 4.7 and we're asking restoration of 3 of those acres that's not being used now by the City. The City had a problem there in the park with the trailers park- ing over night and the City had to go in and put a landscape barricade up to prevent that hart of the park from being used. We're asking to extend this outer boundary rack clown to the public launching ramp for the pur- pose of building two more docks of 25 slips each. Mayor Ferre: I just want to tell you, sir, that I will not vote for the use of 8� acres of very important public property where you don't even want to pay not a fair price, a ridiculous price of $23,000 and that seems to he a big hurdle fo you and I'll tell you you just don't have my, I think we had hotter reconsider the whole thing. Mr. Plummer: Well, let me ask this question...... Mayor Ferre: And to put up 50, 50? You're going to use 8� of the most valuable and important pieces of property in all of Florida so you can add 50 boat slips? And you're complaining about paying $23,000? Mr. Plummer: fir. Ifayor, if I may, what I think we're looking at as far as the Yacht Club is concerned is that if you were to remain on the pres- ent property that you have is one consideration for a different monetary consideration. If you opt to increase the usage or more square footage I don't think anybody would not want or expect that you would pay addi- tional. Now, you know I'm sorry. I'm all in favor of the yacht clubs, I want you to be there but you've got to be fair. Mr. Manson: If we go to the 4.7 acres we presently have we're talking about the same dollar figures. Mayor Ferre: Right, I'd go for that, I'll go along with that. Mr. Manson: we're talking about the same dollar figures that the Outboard Club has now. Mr. Mummer: Isn't that in the essence of being fair? I mean your gross is bigger than their gross. What is your acreage, Dick? Mr. Taylor: Four and a half roughly. Mr -Plummer: All right, your's is roughly 4�? Mr. Manson: 4.7. Mr. Plummer: All right, so it is a little bit more. I don't think that anyone in the essence of fairness could expect that we would give to them 30 MAY 2 2 1980 4� acres and get. 13,000 311d rive you more for the same figure, there's just nobody, I uun't think anybody would expect that, I really don't. Now, let's come l)ac_k to the Mayor's concerns bec ;ruse I thin): maybe I know one cf your pr-,blr,rns and -, thin}. you ouyi:t l:u put it can the recc.,rd. Mr. Mayor, as you go throuyr, the Ya,t.t :IuL yc,u wi i i 11_1, -. iat they have a great number of slips at tt,e presFnt: title and I Jon't think under the con- dltiGns existin<4 today to try tG yet pur;!lits anu odic)` th—,n(�s and space that t.hey're 'joinq to h(r to pa` mu_h iouri (T.iirantee you knowing the Yacht: Clul) and the Outboard C.lu;-) thf.y'rc yc,i.na to try to get as many spaces as they sari hey ause it. increases their m: inber.ship. Many people join the club just to gel- a hl.a;-e for the_,.i boat ,fn,i if they could put 100 space:, an3 q#.•t. permits to do it i,e, woul„ do i tt. Hey, th _ return on an investment of : hoit slip is f.re:^.� nd ,u; - it', like ranteed to this community. B,,t I don't t.}�inbt r.hey've got the room Y ;sed upon what they already have in the w,,ter of havinc, more than 50 :paces more avail- able. A.-r; I right o1 wrong? Mr. Taylor: You'r.e partly wrong, Mr. Pluruner, in t,.,rms of the return of the boat slips. I think your own Coconut Grove D(,A:s - Seminole - here have proven that. Tnere it no profitable return r:SLcriolly at our rates, you're not even making �)ood profit at Dinner Key. The cost of docks is terrible. It is $V,0 per piling, that's to start before you build your decks any all. So anyway whether we ran exl,and is true, the permits now are just horrendous, you have to go t, everybody. But we can repair and we want to do it quickly. Mr. )Mummer: Dick, I'm. speaking to the Yacht Club, Okay? And what I'm saying is if you curve what i woulc call further south from your existing docks do you rlcive si ace to put niu .h mur: than 50 more additional spaces? Mr. Manson: We had planned to put in two "T" docks similar to what we have now, the dock we have now has5 slips on it. We can put two more of those in thGt additional property to the south of us. Mr. Plummer: I think that is the answer. Mr. Lacasa: how do the rates that you charge to the members for the slips compare with those of the City? Mr. Taylor: About 25%, we charge $35 per boat slip. Mayor Ferre: You mean 25% of the going rate. Mr. Taylor: Yes, sir. Mr. Lacasa: 25% of the going rate, you only charge 25%? Mr. Taylor: Yes, sir, we're charging $35 per slip which is very very cheap, we know. Mr. Grassie: Mr. Mayor and members of the City Commission, just as a sug- gestion following tip on something that the Mayor was I think hinging at, one of the things that we have to realize about the boat clubs is that while they hove over a pr,riod of years provided a very important public service it is also true that they accumodate a relatively small number of hoats partic- ularly wt,er. you con:,ider the area they're in and Lire amount of ground that they take up. Now tl-.ere may be some kind o; a compromise position which is of benefit to the City at large and also accomodates the boat clubs. If we were to develop a pl,in which would increase the number of slips in that area by 3 or 400 slips an,! possibly attach to the two ends of this kind of a major fa-ility these boat clubs witn improved facilities of tlicir own, ti,at would some work in t(-Irms of laying it out but I think that in terms of achir--wing your publ-c purpose that that might ,take a lot of sense. Mr. Taylor: Well, what I .love and I appreciate him saying, and this Com- missio1:, the Commission has so much more power ;s liar getting these slips and permits and so forth. We'd be delighted to have the end of it, sure we would, it would be great. Mayor Ferre: See, you knew what we're doing? we're taking one of the most valuable assets and we're under -utilizing it by 100 fold. And you know, your problem is not because you're the Outboard and that's an easier problem to solve, I think than- this City really has a moral responsibility to make this a boating capital for many many, and what we're doin;; is we're taking one of the most - that's like if we were taking Dinner Key Marina and we were say- ing, let's just put 50 boats on the.-(- and let a private club come in and use it. It's absurd. MAY 2 2190on V Mr. Taylor: I have never seen a brochure of Miami that doesn't have Biscayne Bay and boats on it. Mayor Ferre: Precisely, and I think maybe what we ought to do is kind of rethink this. I've got no problem with the Outboard Club because that's a little bit different, outboard motors are somewhat different but when you're talking about the Yacht Club, I think, Joe, what perhaps we ought to do is do the same thing that we've done in Dinner Key and Miamari.na and what have you and that is go out and go to the private sector. Let's go out there and get a couple two, three, four, five hundred boat slips, the maximum, and you use how many boat slips? 50? Mr. Taylor: We have 43 boat slips now and.... Mayor Ferre: Fine, we'll get you 43 boat slips, we'll give you 50 boat slips. We'll give you 100 boat slips and we'll give you a real super break. Okay? Mr. Taylor: I'd love it, I tell you the Outboard Club would love it. Mr. Manson: In addition, we have 43 wet slips in the water, we have 167 small boats parked on our property. Mayor Ferre: We'll guarantee you that you won't be hurt a bit but I think to take that valuable piece of property and under -utilize it just because you don't have the money to develop it the right way is to take a major asset of the City and just simply because you don't have enough money, not utilize it, not develop it properly. Mr. Taylor: riayor Ferre, 1 would love to see this City with its credit backing and capabilities to build a real marina and docks there and almost make them inter -connected, and they could. It's sheltered, it's some of the best d--)cak,,e in Dade County because the islands, the causeway, you've got three sides, all four sides covered - it's beautiful dockage. Mayor Ferre: I see Stuart Sorg here, are there any other members of the Waterfront Council here? Has the Waterfront Council discussed this at all? Mr. Taylor: Very much. Mayor Ferre: And what was their conclusion, Dick, do you remember? Mr. Taylor: I hate to quote Mr. Sawyer, he agreed with us on a couple of things, I think he was pretty much in favor of what we have submitted here, and I can say that pretty honestly that he would be almost supportive of everything I've said. However, your coming up with the idea of the City's strength - I think that's a simple way to put it - to expanding dockage and building, I love that. I think that's just marvelous. Mayor Ferre: Can we take that on, Joe? Do we have the ability to do that now? Mr. Grassie: Yes, I think we do, Mayor. Mr. Taylor: •I volunteer and love to be part of the planning of it to what little contribution I might be able to make. Mr. Plummer: Thank you. Mayor Ferre: I think what we need to do is for the Manager, for this Com- mission to instruct the Manager to come back with a maximum utilization approach on this property with special consideration for the Outboard Club and for the Miami Yacht Club to take into account that they would be guaranteed that they would get no less than what they have now at a reason- able price and I would accept the $13,000 payment that is the minimum is acceptable to me. Okay? That's just one voice out of five. Mr. Taylor: I'm delighted with what you just said. Mr. Plummer: Well, Mr. Aayor, so that this gentleman doesn't have to go back and face a screaming mob of his members, I think it likewise should be expressed by this Commission that if you remain with the square foot- age that you presently have we feel that $13,000 would apply to you and it woukd likewise, be fair that if you want additional space your members must realize they're going to have to spend or to pay the City additional dollars but I don't want you to go Asack with empty hands. MAY G G 1980 Mayor Ferre: All right, does somebody want to make that motion then? Mr. Plummer: It is a motion of intent? Mayor Ferre: Yes. Rev. Gibson: That's all right with you? Mr. Taylor: Yes, Father, as far as I'm concerned the idea of the City coming in and putting in their strength I think that's a marvelous idea because that's some of the best dockage waterfront you've got. The ramp isgood.... Mayor Ferre: We're underutilizing one of the best assets of this commun- ity. Mr. Taylor: I think that it is always talked about developing the west shore of the island which is subDect to airplanes, the big ships, a lot of wake and traffic when really the best boat side - to a certain size, of course, because that is the east side. Mayor Ferre: And frankly what I'd like to do on this is to get Mr. Traugutt, Mr. Dubir., Gene Hanco-k, what's the name of that c,uy we've got that has the lease? Rabin, and all the people that are interested in this to come out and we'll put it up for fair competition. Mr. Taylor: A better and stronger use of the island I think is a very rrogressive thing. Mayor Ferre: we'll put it up for fair competition, we'll do the Same thing we've done and develop some more, I think the City should own like we've already established 'he patter.:, at Dinner Key, we're not going to lease out the property, we own it, all we're goino to do is lease out the management. Mr. Taylor: 111hat's what St. rt-cLLrsbuyy has done very successfully. They have given their crib a ru"I fine deal. Mayor Ferre: And (;ivt_, yo,r y,,cht: club, your 50 or. 100 spaces that you may want and give you the 4.7 aL:res that you may want and go from there. Mr. i,ac,,.,y: M<,y:.r, I h;,ve a problem that want. to have clarified because it ha:: oven Uothuring me and there might be an explanation for this. I want You to ci.c me this explanation if you have it. The City of Miami., for instance, right now is considering leasing Dinner Y.ey to a private operator. That lease• will result in x-nunber of dollars of return to the City of Miami, it is an income the City will have. Somebody here, I don't know .if it were you, sir, mentioned the. City that when I askei how much do the people that are going to use the sills in the club pays for that how does thatcompare what the; are paying now and vc,u answered 25%. 25%. My problem is this: Why should Jahn Doe 9�, to Dinner Key Marina and pay $100 «nd the City re- ceive a reci.rn based on those $100 and John Smith goes to the clab and pays only $25 and the City receives one-fourth of what the City would have re- ccived on the other side? Mayor Ferre: Let me, wait a minute, Dick, please. Mr. Taylor: Oh, I've goc a good answer. Mayor Ferre: I know you have a good at,swer but before you give a good answer, as an explanation Armando Lacasa was not here when w�2 spent maybe four hours dis-cs:,ing this on more than one occasion. You were not on the Commission at tha'_ t:.mu and Joe way not on the Coiruni asion but there are three cif us that were on tt.e Commiss;on ✓,nd we we:it t?:rough that up one side and dowr, the other and up and duwn anu the bottom line of it was that somewhere ir, this commun- ity there has to be boatir,,; facilities for who are not millionaires, people who cannot af:ord to spend a suhstantial amount of money i:r ;easing space and that jus_ iike we provide tennis ccurts cr k:asc?i:,il fields or golf courses for a limitei use in the coo runity because r_t;er aren't tnat many golfers, ant? so boating facilities also was a rec.eational ant' a sports resporsihility of a City that i:as ]:5 Mi ies on water, 3� miles of which the City owns. That was the premise and. we finally came to the basic conclusion that somewhere along the line, and the only place we had that opportunity was in the Coconut Grove Yacht Club and the Mi uri Yacht Cl�:b and in the outboard Club to give that opportunity to people whc, did not have that much money to have a little boat. I still subscribe to that, Dick, I still believe - - ----- -- 33 - MAY 2 P 14Rn 4. C that that is a valid theory. What bothers me, that means that on a first come first serve basis there are people who instead of paying $100 a month for a boat slip that they're going to pay $25 fur a boat slip. Mr. Lacasa: Yes, but what kind of criteria? Do they have any financial criteria to accept a member? Mr. Taylor: There is a total answer to this that even though you've touched on it... The l,ricf answer is you didn't spend a dime. You didn't build any docks, you didn't put lights and water and you don't maintain them, you don't supervise, it would cost you thousands of dollars to build those docks. The return that the club gives you is everything we built and paid for. At Dinner Key where you c.iet $100 a rnonth I guarantee you you're probably losing money because it cost. you so m:ch to build them an(i it cysts you so much to maintain them, to supervise them and collect those rents any that's the difference. You have no capital inve-A ment in the docks. You own them because we built them during the 20 years aicl they're your's rirlht now but it would cost you many many thousands of Jollars to build the docks that we have at the club now. The central ciu:ks are goad ones, incidentally, it's just the south one that is in very det-r.iorated shape. But we built all of those. That's the economic answer, you've qot no capital investment, you didn't pay anythir,q to build them. Mr. Manson: In addition, Mr. Lacasa, the amount of money that the club mem- ber pays for the dock is deceptive because he also comes down and works on those docks when they break down. He may have been one of the men that built the docks but the mc;nbershih in the club involves working for the club as opposed to being_ at %liamarina or Dinner Key. 11' something breaks down the City fixes, if something freaks down. the man who is renting it helps fix it at the Yacht Clao. Mr. Plummer: But also .another iml;ortant factor I think you should disting- uish is that not every member has a space, it is not a part of their rent, they pay dues whether they have a boat or not, they pay an additional fee for a space - there's a big difference. Mr. Manson: That's true. Mr. Taylor: Correct. Mr. Plummer: Okay, where are we? Mr. Taylor: Supplementally I think we're back to the City Manager working out an expansion plan. Mayor Ferre: I think what we need is a motion that would read something like--- You frame it, Plummer. Mr. Plummer: No, I'm.... Mr. Taylor: Well, I would suggest that it, if I may be so brave? Mayor Ferre: Dick, go ahead. Mr. Taylor: That it be related back to the City Manager's Office for investigation as to the maximum planning and use of the island and not to deprive the clubs of their present quota. Mayor Ferre: Does somebody want to make that motion? Mr. Plummer: I have no problem with that. Mayor Ferre: All right, it has been moved and seconded. The motion as I understand it then is that we ask that the City Manager come back with a maximum use recor.nondation for boating facilities taking into account the existing facilities of both the Outboatd and the Miami Yacht Club to safe- guard that they would on a basis of the appraisals that we received in the April 21st memorandum be safeguarded on that kind of a basis for what they have now but that we go to maximum utilization of the propc-rty. Does that cover it? Mr. Taylor: I think it is a progressive suggestion. Mayor Ferre: You're talking about approximately 15 acres of land and maybe more, maximum use. You may want to do it in phases. And the premise is that we go out, as we have with other properties, to competitive bid for management but that the City would use its bonding power for the funding 3 MAY 2 21980 of building these and just have the private sector manage them as we've done in the past. is that the sense, J. L.? Mr. Plummer: Yes. Mayor Ferre: And you, Armando? And that they will be protected so that they will have what they presently have at rates as submitted to us on the April 21st memorandum on the minimum basis of the appraisals. Does that cover it, Mr. Grassie? Mr. Grassie: Yes, I think that will get us started. Mayor Ferre: Any problems with that with anybody? Mr. Manson: No, it's fine. Mr. Taylor: No problem here. Mayor Ferre: Okay, further discussion? Call the roll. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Plummer who moved its adoption: MOTION NO. 80-372 A MOTION OF INTENT OF THE CITY COMMISSION REFERRING BACK TO THE CITY MANAGER THE COUNTER PROPOSALS FOR LEASE AGREE- MENTS PRESENTED BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION ON THIS DATE BY THE MIAMI YACHT CLUB AND ThE MIAMI OUTBOARD CLUB; FURTHER DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDA- TION FOR MAXIMUM UTILIZATION FOR BOTH FACILITIES (MIAMI YACHT CLUB AND MIAMI OUTBOARD CLUB) GRANTING SPECIAL CON- SIDERATION TO BOTH OF THESE CLUBS ON THE BASIS OF APPRAISALS RECEIVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION IN THE APRIL 21, 1980 MEMO- RANDUM; GRXNTING TH'r.M NO LESS THAN THEY HAVE AT THE PRESENT TIME AT A REASONABLE PRICE. 'Upon being seconded by Commissioner Lacasa, the motion was adopted by the following vote - AYES: Commissioner Joe Carollo Commissioner J. L. Plummer, Jr. Commissioner (Rev.) Theodore Gibson Vice -Mayor Armando Lacasa Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. Mayor Ferre: All right, gentlemen, thank you very much. Mr. Tarylor: Gentlemen, thank you very much. MAY 2 21980 f A 4 9. STATUS REPORT - APPRAISALS FOR MARINE STADIUM; V HANCOCK PROPOSAL. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, in this same vein we charged the administration with the responsibility in reference to Mr. Hancock on Marine St,334-um giving them more time than what they asked for and we were supposed to have bac? an answer in the first meeting in May.I have not received anything, Mr. Grassie, and I don't think other members of the Commission have and I'm really asking the reason why. Mr. Grassie: That's true, Commissioner. Since the i-itial contact from Mr. Hancock I received another letter from him in which he suggests a much more comprehensive approach that he would like to take to managing the Marine Stadium and we have set up a meeting with him for next week in which we are going to talk about_ his new ideas and incorporate all of those things in any recommendation that we make to you. Mr. Plummer: Well, what about the appraisals? They're in? Mr. Grassie: They're underway. Well, I don't know if we have received them yet, have we received them back? have we received back the appraisals? Not yet? They are being done? (INAUDIPLE RESPONSE) The work is underway but it has not been completed, Commissioner. Mr. Plummer: Well, it is nice of Mr. Hancock that Mr. Hancock would like to expand on what we spoke about before but the responsibility of the administra- tion is to gather the information to us on that which we spoke, any expansion would have to be on a different basis. But I would hope that the... Mr. Grassie: I undf.rstz�nd, but we can't make the appraisers work faster than they are willing to work and they're doing the work and as soon as I have the reports I'll give them to you. Mr. Plummer: Okay. 10. DISCUSSION OF DISCONNECTED PHONES IN THE PENSION OFFICE; DIRECT DIRECTOR OF FINANCE TO HAVE SERVICE REINSTATED. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor., I'd like to bring up one other subject before Mr. Gunderson leaves the room. Mr. Mayor, I am very much concerned, and I'm not going to try to read anything between lines but, as you know, Mr. Carollo and I are your representatives to the Pension Board representing roughly $120,000,000 a year of this City's funds. And I think some justification needs to be given before this Commission of why for the second time, and this second time in particular since last Friday, they have no telephones. Mayor Ferre: well, is that going to be a long heated discussion? Mr. Plummer: I would hope that somebody has a good answer. I don't know what it could be. Mayo. Ferre: All right, the Chair will set five minutes for discussion and then we've got to get on to the 4 O'Clock.... Mr. Plummer: Fine, I hope the discussion can be done in 20 seconds. Who- ever that was that discontinued them would immediately get them reinstated, now that's all that really needs to be done. Mayor Ferre: Don't you know that 30 second things take five minutes here? !"_: J. E. Gunderson: The order to reinstate them was given a week before the fiasco occurred. Unfortunately, it was an oral communication when I wasn't here to the Communications people and they did not act upon it and it involved into the process of having a disconnected phone. 36 MAY 2 2198G Mr. Plwnmer: What y:,L're saying to me, Mr. Gunderson, then is that I assume that you're the responsible party who made the decision to discontinue them or disconnect them. Mr. Carollo: That was my next question, J. I,.. Mr. Plummer: Then I have to say you're telling me that our Communications people since last Friday were given an order to reinstate them and that they have not been done, is that correct? Mr. Gunderson: Singe a week ago from last Friday they were given an oral. statement to reinst�ttt them d;I6 t.i,ey na e not acted upon it, why we don't know but. we have su.Lsequently called th,_m, we h&ve subsequently written them and told. them to cancel r;ee old order in writing. Mr. Pluixmer: Mr. GunaE i sori, I `r„ not. ap t :achiny your hr ,sty, that seems incredibly hard for me to conceive anci fox some rt:ason the same thing seems to happen with my office.

Mayor Ferre: Yes, sir, you certainly can. Mr. Plummer: No, you can't encroach on my five. Mayor Ferre: Your five are just about up, you've got about 30 seconds left on your five. Go ahead, Joe. Mr. Carollo: Mr. Gunderson, before you go, it wasn't clear to me, at least I didn't see, hear a yes from you, was your office responsible for discon- necting tha phones in our Pension office? Mr. Gunderson: The answer..... Mr. Carollo: Yes or no, that's all I want to know. Mx. Gunderson: The answer ultimately is if we write an order and I sign it I um =eaponsible but there is an explanation.... Mr. Carollo: Yes or no, Mr. Gunderson. Mr. (>underscn: I am responsible. Mr. Carollo: My next questior: is this: If you are responsible, and cor- rect me if I'm wrong, isn't the final responsibility of disconnecting phones belong t;, the Communications Director of our City, not to your office or anyone there? Am I correct in that? Mr. Gunderson: He will execute the order that we requested, yes. Mr. Carollo. So if he is the person responsible fox that why did people in your office initiate disconnecting the phones in the Pension Office for the second time? Mr. Plummer: You can't ask the responsible party, he yat fired. .37 MAY 2 21980 4 4 %tr. Gunderson: The disconnection and the connection, the original disconnection occurred by an order. We are anticipating a move. We were anticipating the Pension Office to be moved and so forth and we have to plan with the telephone company through our Communications Department a month in advance before they will take any action so we have to anticipate those kinds of things before you can get them. Mr. Carollo: Mr. Gunderson, if you will excuse me, but you're insulting my intelligence when you tell me that you have to plan a month ahead of time and you can't prevent the phone company from disconnecting those phones after you might have given an order a month before. So, sir, I would certainly appreciate it if you could make sure this will be the last time that those phones will be disconnected, and if you can make sure like Commissioner _ Plummer stated, that they be connected tomorrow otherwise you not only will be hearing from him but from myself. Thank you very much, sir. Have a good day. -i 11. AMEND 9019 - APPROPRIATE $50,000 TO INCREASE FUNDING FOR STRUCTURAL REPAIRS TO ORANGE BOWL STADIUM s Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, I am not about to vote on this issue until someone for the administration explains to me what a vomitory is. What is a vomitory? Is that something you get after you drink the beer that's served in the Orange Bowl? I'm sure it was a CETA worker, that's the ususal around here. Mr. Grassie: Commissioner, a vomitory is an interior arched space.

Father Gibson: Move. Mayor Ferre: Moved by Gibson. Is there a second? Mr. Plummer: Yeah, I have a question... second, but I have a question. Mayor Ferre: Plummer. Mr. Plum.-ner: The monies that we allocated the other day were allocated through the Off -:street Parking Authority. I find that this is coming to us from, not the Off -Street Parkinq Authority which I thought that was the purpose of the intent of the monies that we gave. And I'm asr,�nished to gee that it is coming through the administration which is exactly what I was trying to prevent, and not through the Off -Street Parting to whom we gave the money. Mr. Grassie: C nu~:is> miner, I wasn't :t the meeting that you steak of but as I understui,d the intent that you had in spc-aking to that motion, is was that the work that the City is attempting to do to establish new parkins, pru ectS be donfF in coop,,rat.ion with, and con3unction with the Parking Authority. I had not understood that you were saying to the City staff, do nothing about parking. Mr. Plummer: No, i,o, no. r Brassie: t•.hat we are doing, is workinq in very close cooperation with the Parking Authority. We have their blessing, if you wish, on tht.se Protects, an3 on aue:stions of selecting engineers, we work with them. This, we don't have a practical way of giving them the money to do this work for us... Mr. Plummer: Well that was the motion, Mr. Grassie. Whether you have the way or not, that was the notion. As I recall, there was some... this 4entleman in the back, what was the motion? Mayor Ferre: That was the motion, J. L. ist J IVAY 2 4 1960 Mr. Plummer: It was the motion. I very clearly remember that. Mayor Ferre: The idea was that we shouldn't try to deal outside of the Off -Street Parking Authority. Mr. Plummer: That's right. Mayor Ferre: But on the other hand, what we're doing here is making, hopefully, finding out whether or not there is a feasibility for that and I... Mr. Plummer: I whole-heartedly concur mr. Mayor. But here again, the City is doing, the administration is doing what they want, not what this Commission told them to do. Mayor Ferre: J. I,., look, in the first place, the idea of going into the OMNI area to find out whether or not we need more parking had never even been discussed here. In the second place, I see absolutely nothing wrong with the City of Miami commissioning a Miami firm to do a feasibility study to see whether or not we need parkinq at OM111. That's desperately needed. The fact is we should i:ave done it three years ago. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, that is only to comply with the financial statements for bonding. And I have no problem with that but this Commission gave the money to the off -Street Parkinq Authority. . Mayor Ferre: But the problem ... not in this particular project. This is the =NI. You're talking about the government center project. Mr. Plummer: No, sir. Mayor Ferre: We've never discussed OMNI. Mr. Plummer: Pull the minutes, please, for me. Mayor Ferre: We've discussed the OMNI before? Mr. Plummer: No, the monies which were given for these feasibility studies, were to be given... Mayor Ferre: No, sir. We've only voted on one bit of money and that was for the Government Center, and it was for thirty thousand dollars. Mr. Plummer: I remember the fifty one thousand figure. Mayor Ferre: No, sir. That was not fifty-one, and that was turned down. It wasn't fifty-one it was two hundred and fifty... Mr. Plummer: And what did we actually allocate? Mayor Ferre: Thirty thousand dollars because I objected for us to do it blanket. I said the hell with that. We're not going to go and give you a blanket. You go one by one. All right, we've already voted on one, Downtown Government Center, thirty thousand dollars. Now this is number two. They want to go in and study OMNI, It's desperately needed, now lets get on with it. Mr. Plummer: Then let the Off -Street Parking do it. Mayor Ferre: J. L., let me tell you what the problem with that is... Mr. Plummer: You're duplicating. Mayor Ferre: The problem with that is that Mitchell Wolfson and Dick LaBaw have point blank told me, and you, I'm sure that we are only going to build one more garage around here and that's the one that we're going to build next to the Junior College. If you guys want to go and build more M N"Y 2 21980 ist 0 0 Mayor Ferre (continued): garages, fine. You go do it because we're not going to build anymore because we've got this indenture, we've got that, and we've got the other thing. And the fact is, that this community desperately needs parking. Now you... Mr. Plum.•ner: Mr. Mayor, : wvuld i:ave to have Mr. Wolfson come here and tell me. He 1 i-is never told me that. A11. right? Now, I can not envision for one minute, if this Com:r,ission said to Mitchell Wolfson, sir, as Chairman of that Off -Street Parking Authority, yuu go out and do a financial feasibility study for this Commission, that he would say no, we're not going to do it. Mayor Ferre: I am... Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, they are the experts in the field. Mayor Ferre: I submit to you ... you vote an�,way you want. You will, obviously. I submit to ycu that we cannot afford the dilly-dallvinq and the tactical r;ameF that go on witiii17. I think this is something we must move forwatd on, I think ro-re:s requires it, a:e have four or five major it,vestur=; t:,l;:ir g a:;o,.it. hundred million dollar investments in the OMNI area and ,:his is: one c.` the things they are, waiting on. This is zoo hit' a city, a:u1 t:,c' re-^.lire?r',a .tE) _irtJ m.1Cn t0 ,I,!PJ,r''an, for us to start playi.:iq the games of, we'll qet :Iitchell Wc,l fsor; ...

If he says to me, I err al.,solutely not 7oing to huild an%rnore, I want to hear that and I want to mar it or, the public record. I not heard it. Mayor F•-rre: All rigi,t, ?ir. Clerk, I want you t., swear me in. Go ahead, you've qut the' r jhc t,_, swear me .in, under oath. okay. I do solemnly swear _,hat what I'm a:r012t to :;ay is the truth and nothinq but the truth, so help me God. I'm now under oath. I'm under oath. If I say anything that s a lie, i ar„ subject to perjur•; charges. Okay? Mr. Mitchell Wolfson has told me in his office, in front of several witnesses, okay, namely Mr. Nick :—i1,aw, and I Forget wh,) the other person was, that the Off -Street Parking Aut`,orit.y cannot, in quod conscious build anymore than the limitation:; of their bondee ability. And that they are virtually on the edge_ of t:;at now, ar.3 that all that the Off-street Parking Authority can, for now build, is the parkin-3 garage next to the junior college. However, that he had no ohjections to the City of Miami proceeding with the building of jarac;es, however, he would wart to be consulted on the design. He would want to also make assurance that. the Charter would be complied with. Which means, that once the garage is finished that he, the off -Street Parking Authority would run i.t. It is his responsibility. Now, that_ is on the record, under oath. Now, do you need Mitchell Wolfson her:: to verify that I'm not lying? Mr. DluT%mer: Mr. Mayor, i have never quesi.ioned your honesty or your word. And I will not at this time. You don't have to go under oath to me. ethers night quf-stion it, you might have to go under oath, but I do:,'t regaiic it. 'Ar. ..,:yo• . what I am saying, the Off -Street Parking Auc�c•rity have been in the business for a long time. They have bcon very gcDd and diligent to t;,i;; City. Why should we ,_Qme in the City, away from the Off -Street Parkinq Authority, create basically our own authority under a City adminis;.rrition, whic'n in my estimation is duplication, •ors n.1t afforc; you the o, r�ortui;ity Of raving all of the thinking of the Off -Street Parking Authority. We're not asking under this ordinance or this request here to build a oaraaa, we're talking about a feasibility study. They axe the experts in this fiele, or at least they should be, and if they're not, lets get rid of them. Mayor Ferre: Can't. ist 47 MAY 2 21960 ist Mr. Plummer: Well, you see, I think that this thing should be conveyed on to them. as we did before. You are not c7ualified, nor am I, to know who the experts are in this field. we're riot calling them in on the Convention Center, these so calle3 experts. I just say to you, that it seems logical to me, that with all of the expertise, and the years of service, that they have had in this field, that this Commission would want them to be the driving factor. Plow if it comes to the point where a feasibility study shows we need it and there is no question it will, and they say they can't build it, then I think the City is in proper position to do something. Mayor Ferre: Plummer, there are about five firms in the united States, and in Miami that can do feasibility stunies of this sort. I know, frankly, you can go get the man on the moon and come back and advise you and they say, yeah, have a feasibility study made and you're going to end up choosing one of those five or six firms. So what the hell is the - difference? Let's aet on with it: Are there any further questions on traQ7 I mean, you know, vote for or against it, but let's move. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, I withdraw my second, of course. Mayor Ferre: Okay. Who made the motion originally? Father Gibson. Does anybody... Mr. Lacasa: Second. Mayor Ferre: All right, Lacasa seconds. Further discussion? Call the roll. CITY ATTORNEY PROCEEDS TO READ THE ORDINANCE BY TITLE INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD Mr. Plummer: Where are the retained earnings from? Mayor Ferre: It's a feasibility study... Mr. Plummer: No, I'm asking where are the retained earnings coming from as it speaks to in the ordinance. Mayor Ferre: Establishing the funding in the amount of thirty thousand from this parking project funds, retained earnings, for feasibility... what is ... Mr. Grassie, there's a question made of you, sir. Would you please answer it? Mr. Plummer: The question, Mr. Grassie, is where are the retained earnings? We're speaking on item nine. Mayor Ferre: If you read the ordinance... Mr. Grassie: I understand what the item is but I don't understand the direction of your question. Mr. Plummer: Where are the retained earnings? Mayor Ferre: In the title there is the word, coma, retained... Mr. Plummer: Where are the dollars coming from? Where were these retained earnings retained from? Mr. Grassie: Oh, I'm sorry. You're speaking of what fund they are in. They are in the Capital Improvement Fund, the portion of that fund which is designated for parking purposes. In other words... Mr. Plummer: It's earned interest? Mayor Ferre: It's on page two. Mr. Grassie: The majority of these funds occur because you appropriate in your Capital Improvement Fund, let us just use an example, of fifty thousand dollars for a project. The project may cost you forty-six thousand WAY 2 2 1�160 Mr. Grassie (continued): five hundred. The difference is a retained earning which remains in your Capital Improvement Program within that account. Mr. Plummer: So you're telling me then, that under the Capital ... the Parking Capital Projects there is a designated amount for the OMNI Project? Mr. Grassie: No, sir there is not. Mr. Plummer: Then how can you retain earnings for that? Mr. Grassie: You have..because parking is a broader designation than the OMNI. Mayor Ferre: If you'll look on page two, it says Parking Capital Project Fund, Resources from retained earnings, sixty thousand dollars. Mr. Plummer: But I'm still asking where the funds came from. Mayor Ferre: He's just explained it... Mr. Grassie: Capital Improvement Program. Mayor Ferre: From the Parking Capital Projects Fund. Is that correct? Mr. Grassie: That's correct. Mayor Ferre: Retained earnings. You are taking thirty of those sixty thousand dollars. Mr. Grassie: These, a,. further explanation, Commissioner, these retained earnings accumulate over a period of years. As you balance out your Capital. Improvement Program, ;yea_- after year, there is always a small difference. And in each of these items, that is the retained earnings. Mr. Plummer: Can you tell me then, how much of this vear is the total Parking Capital Project Fund? How much is that for this year? Mr.. Grassie: I would have to go back to the Capital Improvement Program to... Mayor Ferre: Sixty thousand dollars. Isn't that correct? Mr. Plummer: Sixty thousand dollars of which we've already given thirty-one thousand... Mayor Ferre: No, no, this is what's remaining. Mr. Plummer: To the Off -Street Parking Authority. Mayor ?erre: No, of which.we have left sixty thousand dollars. Is that correct? Mr. Plummer: These are the so called experts. Mr Brassie: No, we had sixty, you have appropriated thirty, this is the sec,oi;d thirty. Mr. Plummer: That's right. Because I'm looking, Mr. Hayor, when we get down, you know...

ON THE ROLL CALL: Mr. Plummer: My negative vote reflects that it is creating another dynasty and a department in the Citv of Miami. It is unnecessary, it is not feasible, it is not gaining on the expertise of those people who we have designated in an Off -Street Parking Authority, for many years, with an established track record. I vote no. Mayor Ferre: For the record, we're not creating any dynasty. The thirty thousand dollars does not go to the City, to any department in the city, it is strictly for a feasibility study to an outside firm and has nothing to do with anything other than a feasibility for the much needed parking which must be built in the OMNI area, and which the Off -Street Parkinq Authority, by its own admission does not have the physical capacity to build. I vote yes. Mr. Plummer: I'm happy to know that Mr. Kaufman is working for nothing. welcome aboard. Mayor Ferre: Are you getting any of this thirty thousand dollars? Mr. Plummer: No, he's getting a salary. Mayor Ferre: I would imagine that you're getting a salary for a heck of a lot more than for one parking garage in OMNI. Mr. Plummer: No, it's for parking. He is the expert on parking. Mayor Ferre: But he does more than that, J. L. Mr. Plummer: What else do you do, sir.? Mayor Ferre: He negotiates other contracts for us, is that correct? Mr. Plummer: Other than parking? Y G G Iv0ow Mayor Ferre: Well, on the record, tell xis what you do. I'm sorry. I beg your pardon, we're in the middle of a roll call. Now, would you answer the question that Plummer asked you. What else do you do besides negotiate parking garages? Mr. Morris Kaufman: I negotiate pretty near every contract that we have... Mayor Ferre: Would you speak into your mike, I can't hear you. Mr. Kaufman: Can you hear this? Mayor Ferre: Yes. Mr. Kaufman,: Mr. Plummer, for your information, I usually negotiate every contract for construction, and I generally set up all'the background packaging of putting these together, prior to negotiations. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Kaufman, you've been employeed in the City for how many years? Mr. Kaufman: Almost two and one half years. Mayor Ferre: All right, in the two and one half years, how many projects have you worked on? Roughly, give or take. Mr. Kaufman: Ten to twelve. Mayor Ferre: Ten to twelve. Are they projects ... how many of those are in excess of one million dollars when they are completed? Mr. Kaufman: Well, ,lames L. Knight is probably going to be pretty close to that, the complex for the Downtown Government Center, the Watson Island.... Mayor Ferre: Would it be safe... Mr. Grassie: Three fire stations. Mayor Ferre: •••would it be safe to assume, if I were to make a statement that you have negotiated contracts in excess when they are finished, of three hundred million dollars? Okay? Mr. Kaufman: I would say ever three hundred million dollars. Mayor Ferre: Now, what is your salary, for the record, sir. Mr. Kaufman: About forty thousand dollars. Mayor Ferre: Is there anybody else in the City that has the job of negotiating major contracts, that you know of, other than yourself? Mr. Kaufman: Not that I know of. Mayor Ferre: Okay. Now, for three hundred million dollars, would you say that it is good management for an operation to have a person with your knowledge, background and expertise to negotiate contracts? Mr. Kaufman: Well, without being egotistical, I would say yes. Mr. Plummer: He's underpaid. Mayor Ferre: Okay, I just, you know, for the record to get it clarified.. 51 MAY 2 21980 ist 4 18.

I would like, well, I'll do that on my own to make s,:re that the first two stated that they were not, in fact, able to do this project Mr. Grassie: Commissioner, Mr. Kaufman has not... Mayor Ferre: Wait, there is no disucssion on this. We're under vote. would you please cast your vote, J. L. Mr. Plummer: My vote will be no. Mayor Ferre: I vote yes, now ;c ahead with your statements. Mr. Grassie: Just to clarify, Mr. Mayor and members of the City Commission. I do not believethat Mr. Kaufman has said to you that the cther two firms turned it down, what he said was that the City Commission has approved a list of four contractors. That it is the policy established in that workshop that you had, that you would use these contractors in rotation. Now what Mr. Kaufman has said to you is that the first person en tine list is disqualified because he is already under contract to the state and to the county and there would be a conflict because there is an overlap in the area being studied. The second contractor on your list is getting a contract with the City so that disqualifies hm. In other words, we don't want to give all our work to one. firm. We are now going to the third contractor. So we are going in the rotation that we advised you of, that you approved. And the fi.r-,t two firms are disqualified but they have not been asked to turn down the work. Mayor Ferre: This complies with the state regulations of Major Ferre: Thank you very much. Mr. Plummer: Selecting architeets? Mayer Ferre: Take up item... Mr. Kaufman: Yes, air. 53 MAY 2 2 lam 2 i 19.

Ferre NOES: Commissioner J. L. Plummer, Jr. ABSENT: Commissioner Joe Carollo ON ROLL CALL: Mr. Plummer: And what is this study for? Mayor Ferre: This is the same one you voted on last time except this is formalized now and its the approving of the negotiated agreement between Barton Aschman Associates for a feasibility study for the Downtown Government. And I made the mistake of saying it was thirty thousand and actually it was twenty-one thousand, is that correct? Mr. Plummer: But this is money that is going to the Off -Street Parking Authority? Mr. Kaufman: No, sir, its going to the Barton Aschman Firm. Mr. Plummer: But isn't this the money that we gave to the Off -Street? Mr. Kaufman: This is the money that you appropriated at the last Commission meeting, thirty thousand dollars and we negotiated a contract for twenty one thousand. Mr. Plummer: All right. Mr. Grassie: But it is not the case, Commissioner, that it is going into the 54 MAY 2 219M ist i Mr. Grassie (continued): budget of the Parking Authority. Mr. Plummer: What did this Commission decide? Mr. Grassie: Well I wasn't at the meeting. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Kaufman was. Mr. Kaufman. Mr. Kaufman: The Commission decided, as best as I can recall, is that the contracts would be under the supervision and direction of the Off -Street Parking. Mayor Ferre: That's right. I hope that's true. Mr. Kaufman: And that is absolutely true. Mr. Plummer: I would like the records of that please, and I think you've pinpointed, right here, because it was very clear in my mind, and I stand to be corrected, that it was not the case. So if you'll pull those records, please. Mr. Kaufman: Mr. plu;nmer, if y,-)u would look at the resolution, there should be ... actually, it's in the ordinance. if vou'll look in the ordinance, there is s suntitle two but no footnote two which says that exactly and that's what you did the last time. Mayor Ferre: That was say recollection of what we did. All ordinances... I don't rem ... where's sub -section two? Mr. Plummer: If. the Clerk will provide me with that, please? Mayor Ferre: Are you ready to vote J. L.? Mr. Plummer: Yes, surely. I vote no. 20.

Now that one I'm sure nobody has any disagreements with, right? Mr. Plummer: Except I didn't understand it, Maurice. What does this mean, Mr. Kaufman? Mayor Ferre: Basically, J. L., in simple language. We need a to guarantee a certain amount of parking spaces for the hotel. okay? Fine. After you do tnis, after you give r_his bid to this guy and guarantees, we're short about on(- hundred and forty or one hundred and fifty parking spaces. So the Off -Street Parking Authority has come to our rescue and said, okay, ftllu,,S. r? '11 gi:,c ycu one hundred and fifty underneath the exp:crssway and this accepts that. Mr. Plummer: What about the revenue derived from it? Mayor Ferre: Well it belongs to them. Mr. Plummer: To the Off -Street Mayor Ferre: Of course, it belongs to the Off -Street. Mr. Grassie: It belongs to the Off -Street Parking. And to reinforce that point, Commissioner, we're going to ask you to approve another 55 MAY 21980 ist Mr. Grassie (continued): resolution which has not been distributed to you, but which I had prepared at Mitch Wolfson's request. And basically, it's a comfort resolution which says that the City Commission of. the City of Miami guarantees that they will make as much money as they do on the average any time that the City, or the Conference Center uses those spaces. Mayor Ferre: Plummer, this is apple pie and Mitchell is in complete agreement and the whole thing. Mayor Ferre: The point I'm getting back to, you know, when we asked that same thing for the Police Station when they started putting up meters in the visitor parking lot, we were told absolutely no way that they could do such. Mayor Ferre: Well don't bring that up. Mr. Grassie: Well, but they have finally agreed with us and they have not put up the meters. You know. So they finally have agreed with us. Mayor Ferre: Who moves it? Plummer moves it? Mr. Plummer: Yeah. Mayor Ferre: And Lacasa seconds. Further discussion on item twelve? Call the roll.

Mr. Grimm: Miami. Center Associates, Incorporated. Mr. Plummer: They, for the record, have all been informed, have read and approved in total this agreement. It would seem like to me, that something this important, that these people who are vitally concerned would be here. And I'm going to assume... Mayor Ferre: They are here. Mr. Plummer: Excuse me. I don't see Mr. Worsham. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Worsham is right there with the beard. He represents Mr. Worsham. Then his attorney is nere. M.r.. Plummer: That's fine but I see no one from the Unversity of r:iami.

And I want somobody to put that can the record. Mr. Grassie: Commissioner, we can't guarantee understanding. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Grassie, please. Have you read this contract, Mr. Plummer? Mr. Plummer: Yes, sir. J9 MAY 2 21980 ist 4 4 Mayor Ferre: You have. Well then you know that the University of Miami, and the World Trade Center, basically, have nothing to do with this. Mr. Plummer: No, that's where I disagree with you, Mr. Mayor. You're entitled to yoar opinion and I'm entitled to mine. Okay? Mayor Ferre: Do you realize... Mr. Plummer: You know, for example, are you aware of the price of per parking space this thing has zoomed up to? Mayor Ferre: What I am saying, Mr. Plummer, if we've read this contract is, that this is the fall back position. This is not the contract with the World Trade Center. All this document does is... Mr. Grimm: Mr. Mayor, if I may, 7 think I can put Commissioner Plummer's fears to rest. I think what the Commissioner is concerned about is that the University of Miami has, in this parkinq garage, the space that's guaranteed to it. I think he's concern(=d that the hotel has in this garage, the space uuarar,teed to it, and I think he's concerned that the World Trade Center has in this garage the space guaranteed to it. And also, is concerned that the riumi)er of spaces provided by this contract will satisfy what the Commission directed us to do. This is a contract which guarantees a minimum of fourteen hundred and fifty car spaces to he built for`ifteen million dollars, not to exceed fifteen million dollars, with provisions in it for the Downtown People I -lover, and with provisions in it for foundations to constuct an air -rights lease structure of at least five hundred thousand net useable space, and also to provide a connecting link betwc?en this garage and the Convention Center which satisfied both the conditions of both the construction and permanent lenders. Mr. Plummer: That's fine. Mr. Grimm, let me tell you what I ... I didn't want to put on the record, but I will, okay, because there's nothing wrong with it. I am trying to protect the City of Miami. That in six months, the University of Miami cannot come back and say, hey, we didn't see that thing, we don't agree with that. That doesn't meet our needs, nor can Mr. Worsham, nor can the Dade Federal, nor can any of them come back and say, hey, we were not consulted. Mr. Worsham, in the original contract has tremendous, tremendous overseeing power on this entire complex. As he should, he has a tremendous investment. I want on the record, that all of the parties involved are aware, have read, know what it contains, and are in concurrence. Man, if you don't protect yourself to that extent. 1 don't want one of these people running back in here saying, oh, no. Mayor Ferre: Plummer, it's a very simple thing. Would you make a motion that you agree with the authorization, provide however, that the Manager has delivered in hand, on a certified basis, a copy of this contract to the University of Miami, to World Trade Center Associates, and who else? And Dade Federal with a signed certificate that they have received it and that he will not sign the contract after forty-eight hours after they've seen it, and that they come back with any problems. That they will then ... that the Manager will not sign it and bring it back to the Mr. Plummer: Fine Mayor Ferre: Mr. Plummer moves. Is there a second? Mr. Lacasa: Second.

I will accept nominees, and then we'll vote on the nominees as they come up. So the floor is now open for nominees. Mr. Plummer: Let me ask a question, because I think I have goofed tremendously, Mr. Mayor. And it's my fault and if I do, I have to suffer the consequences. Are we limited to this group on this paper? Mr. Lacasa: Yes. Mr. Plummer: It's my mistake. Mayor Ferre: Item eighteen, Miami Waterfront Board. All right, the Chair is now open for nominations. Mr. Lacasa: I have a nomination here. Carlos Fernandez Cano Mr. Plummer: Where is that name here? I don't see it. Mr. Carollo: I don't see that name here either. Mr. Lacasa: You have the resume in your packet. Mr. Plummer: A resume doesn't do it according to what I see here. In other words, these are the ones from the Commission? Mayor Ferre: We have a memorandum that covers all of that and explains the whole thing. We had it last time and I have it here before me. Mr. Plummer: Well Mr. Mayor, if that's the case, the Commission apointees Aren't we at liberty to name apointees or to... Mayor Ferre: The way we set this system up J. L., was that the Waterfront Board, I'm sorry. That each group, see, we have five groups and we get nominees from each of these groups, and then from those that are selected, we choose. Just like we do with zoning. And what we have before us are four people. One, is the Group I position which is the Greater Miami Marine Association. We have to chose from those nominees. Two, is the the three year opening which is group IV, which is from all the Chambers of Commerce. Latin Chamber, Grove Chamber, Tiger Chamber, Little Havana, Grapeland Heights, everybody. Okay? Now we also have to replace the fourth —the second position to fill the vacancies created by two resignations. Mr. Plummer: But ... all right, what group are they in is what I need to know. Mayor Ferre: The Carlos Fernandez Cano nomination that he just made, as I understand it... Mr. Plummer: Is from the Commission. Mayor Ferre: Is from the Commission. Mr. Plummer: Now where is the fourth one? Mayor Ferre: The fourth one is to either renominate Dickson or replace him. And that comes from the users. That's the users right? And you've got a list of users. Is that correct? Who is going to help me on this? Mr. Grassie, I don't like to talk to myself. I'm asking for help, MAY 2 2 40 ist Mayor Ferre (continued): I would please like for you to assign this to whoever is responsible for explaining the process here. Would you please assign that and ask for an explanation of the process? Mr. Grassie: Angela Davis staffs this function and she'll explain this. Mrs. Angela Bellamy: The first two come from the nominating organizations, Group I and Grcriip IV. Group VI comes from nominations from the City Commission. The second position ... Mayor Ferre: Now who is group six? Mrs. Bellamy: Yes. Mayor Ferre: Is that correct? Is that the vacancy for Juvenal Pina? Mrs. Bellamy: In group VI you have four positions, two of which have vacancies. The second position was created by an expiration of a term. The fourth position is to fill the resignation of Juvenal Pina. Okay. That's a two year remaining term. Mayor Ferre: You're missing the question. The question is, how do we vote for those two vacancies? Do we vote from a list that is submitted to us by the Waterfront Board, by the Chamber of Commerce, by the Marine Council? Mrs. Bellamy: No. The City Commission. You gave us names for those people in Group VI. Mayor Ferre: All right. In other words, Plummer can nominate somebody into that position. Is that correct? Mrs. Bellamy: Yes. Mayor Ferre: Can the members of the Commission nominate at this time, people.. Mrs. Bellamy: The process is...well, the City Manager sent the City Commission a memorandum requesting... Mavor Ferre: The City Commission never read memorandums from the City rSanager. Airs. Bellamy: ...requesting that the City Commission send to our office applications from your nominees. Okay. These three names, the information that we've received from the City Commission, to date, these are all the nominations that we've received? Mr. Plummer: All right, Mr. Mayor, at this time, I would nominate a man who is very prominent in yachting circles, he is also a long time resident, and a long time yachting himself, Mr. Duane Anderson, and a local attorney. A man who is vitally interested... Mayor Ferre: J. L. I'm sorry. I will recognize that in a moment. But I think... w.. Plummer: I'm sorry. Mayor Ferre: ...we need to go one by one. Lets go first with Group I. Angela, would you please stick with us now? Group I. Lets do it one at a time. Paule Andre, Jerry Langer, Robert McTeig, and Conrad Webber. Who are the nominees, please?
