ENCLOSURES: During discussion of Item 1, Planning Advisory Board meeting of May 2, 1979, concerning rezoning of three City -owned lots in Elizabeth Virrick Park to PP, Mrs. Esther Armbrister stated that certain commitments had been in 1970 to use the three parcels for an adult center. The Planning Advisory Board, by Resolution PAB 22-79 deferred the item and requested the. Planning Department to provide background on the subject. • Our review of the record is as follows: The Neighborhood Center in Virrick Park was let for bid in mid-1969 and accepted for completion on April 15, 1970. Of the $276,000.00 construction cost $171,782.00 was reimbursed by a HUD federal grant (EOPI) and $104,218.00 was from the City Recreational Facilities Bond Fund. The Center was intended to serve community groups, including senior citizens. On August 11, 1970, by Resolution 41769 the City. Commission authorized the use of an existing cottage in Elizabeth Virrick Park for a community health facility. While this small building had formerly been reserved for senior citizens, Mrs. Esther Armbrister, representing the senior citizens of Coconut Grove, stated they had no objections. (See Attachment A). Subsequently by Resolution 42035 dated November 30, 1970, a five year lease was authorized with Coconut. Grove Family Clinic, Inc. for the cottage. 0n September 12, 1974, the City Commission by Motion 74-968 approved the request of the Coconut Grove Family Clinic for additional space in the main building in Virrick Park. During this same hearing, it was stated' that two buildings on the property would be moved as they were not in keeping with the park development. (See Attachment C). Subsequently, by Resolutions 74-341; 74-346; and 74-408, the three parcels in question were acquired with Parks for People bond funds and the buildings moved. In summary, this Department's review of the record discloses no commitment to use thethree parcels in question as an adult center; the neighborhood center was originally built for community groups, including senior citizens. Use of the neighborhood center is currently shared by Coconut Grove Family Clinic, Inc. and programs of the Department of Leisure Services. • raj Planning Advisory Board Page 2 May 30, 1979 - It is now appropriate for the Planning Advisory Board to consider re -zoning. the three lots from R-1 to PR.

Gibson appeared and requested the use of a small cottage presently existing in Elizabeth Virrick Park for use as a community health facility, pointing out that it would be staffed by professionals from the University of Miami Medical School and that there would be no cost to the City of Miami. He emphasized that, while this building have formerly been reserved for use by the senior citizens organizations in the area, they had relinquished this use in favor of the proposed use.

Rice, Jr., Assistant City Attorney, stated that it was nearly ready to begin, there remaining only a few technicalities to be resolved with the lessee of said facility and the City. Mr. Kennedy stated he had been named as a member of the Amateur Athletic Union Board and could serve as the City's representative in any legal requirements concerning the City's sponsorship of said organization's tournament to be held in Miami in the near future.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE MALERIEDSEN IN BEHALF OF SENIOR CITIZENS IN COCONUT GROVE Mayor Ferre: Now before we take up Item #3, we have with us today Mr. Max Friedsen and a group of senior citizens of Coconut Grove and at this time I will recognize you, Mr. Friedsen. Mr. Friedsen: My name is Max Friedsen. I'm President of the Congress of Senior Citizens. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here in behalf of the elderly people that are now meeting and enjoying the little building over at the Elizabeth Virrick Park. It seems to me that another group of people who we are naturally very much in favor of,but we are in favor of them not moving in here, but that the City should find another place for them to be able to do the job more efficiently with more space than they have there, and to allow the space that is originally intended for the elderly.to be used by the elderly for various purposes that they are doing now and maybe even increase the services that you know are needed so badly. Namely, a lunch program, a referal and information bureau, a home care center, and there are so many things, and I am so keenly interested in seeing to it that the elderly should have the space and the ability to be 1 2/28/74 �..a..e ysuple there, who I, would like to see in the area, but not in the same place, should be, should have the space so that they can help themselves. One of my main objections has always been -- it's not what the older of any especial agency or governmental can do for the elderly'people,,it's what the elderly people can do for themselves. And if thel,are trying, through the mental acts of Smith and Russell and a few other fine people there, if they are trying to do something for themselves, I am sure, that you good people here will see to it that they should continue to do so without being hampered for space. Space is very important and we had a meeting yesterday, and we found that space was the most important thing.that we were talking about. That subject we will discuss with you some other time, but at this time I am asking you and pleading with you to let these elderly people have the space, to use it as they feel it is necessary for them to expand their program, which they are trying to do with the leadership that they have there today, and I want to thank you very so much, and all of you stay well. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Andrews, May I ask a question, because I sent a memorandum through regarding this subject, and 1 don't believe we've had a reply to it. Mr. Andrews: We have been meeting with the, had at least one meeting with the senior citizens, with the peer group, and with the move group. Move is an abbreviation of a group and an organization to try to help with education, with employment opportunity for the young people in the Grove. We have been meeting with these three groups which would have utilized the facility to try to resolve a way of operating in the facility until October. The County has committed that in October, the facility on Douglas Road will be available so that the Peer and the ;dove Groups can utilize that facility and then that separation between the senior citizens and the younger people and their act- ivities would be carried on in two different buildings. Hope- fully, this will work now, and if the senior citizens will be patient and the Peer Group and the Move Group will be patient, I think this problem will be resolved come this October. Mr. Plummer: Can we resolve it before this October? Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor. Father Gibson. Rev. Gibson: I talked with Mr. Andrews about that and I talked with some of the senior citizens and some of the young people. Now I would have this commission to understand that we are in a bind either way. These young people don't need to be on the street out there by themselves, and in the meantime, these senior citizens don't need to be pestered with them. Now it would appear to me that since we are in the bind Max, about where to go and what to do, if they were not in there, we could easily take the position that - "We don't want you there." Unfortunately, they are there and the County has indicated through some responsible source, that as Mr. Andrews indicated to you,; I don't like their timing, however, and I think that maybe if the City would write a very polite letter. I don't know how you do that Rose, women are more apt in that than men. Mrs. Gordon: We might help them find another place, Father. By the program. Rev. Gibson: But Rose, let me tell you something, what you are saying here sounds beautiful. They may well have to find another place, but it isn't that easy. I'll defer to you. I thought I was going to settle it, but t'm going to defer to vou. merftWahli and just work harmoniouwly together, or to move them out of there? What is your best idea? Rev. Gibson: I`ve given my opinion, I'm going to let you give it I'm in the situation, I live there daily. Some people just come occasionally when there is a meeting or some problem and I what'I'm saying to you is; it isn't as easy as we want to believe. Mr. Friedsen: But Father Gibson, we don't have many We have just a few todays and if you cont.nue to lay depriving the elderly People of their rights to live and dignified life, I think it is wrong. tomorrows. this over, a peaceful Rev. Gibson: Max, that's not the point. You know, you see those young people out Those young People are the children or the grandchildren of some of these people or their friends. Rev. Gibson: And I don't think we ought to be unmindful of that. Now my' first reaction was to kick them out of there, but you know what? I found out that I wasn't going to solve the problem, we're going to just drive them out on the street and pandemonium is going to break, out in Coconut Grove. Mr. Friedsen: No, we can find another place for them and I am sure that will be the answer. Rev. Gibson: A1'l right Max I'll tell you what you do. If you can find the place, I'll be the first to endorse it. Mr. Friedsen: I'm sure that the Park Department and also your other officials of the City of Miami can with a determined effort find another place for them, and I am sure that the coalmission here should vote the same way as I am recommending. Rev. Gibson: But Max, let me say. this. I happen to be one of the guys that has to vote. I want to say that. I happen to be one of the guys that has to vote, and I know the problems out there, and if I don't tell the City what that problem is like I will ` be derelict in my duty. Mr. Friedsen: Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor, and members of the commission.; We have a situation here where we have three organizations, very good organizations, and particularly the Move and Peer Group are doing an excellent job in the community as far as helping young people, and I want to compliment them. But there is an area of incompatibility here. And everyone recognizes that, but I think that everyone has to be a little patient until we solve the pro- blem. And we recognize the problem and we will work with the three groups in attempting to solve this natter and at the longest, there is an indication that the longest time would be October. If we can solve the problem sooner than that time, we will do so. Mx. Gordon: Mr. Andrews, why October? Why so long? Mr. Andrews: available by accomodated Because the facility on Douglas Road then will be that date and the other younger groups can be in that building. Mrs. Gordon: I've seen a number of vacant stores in that vacinity that could be utilized on a temporary basis. Why can't we ..\.. —.. e saying that at the longest it would be October, and I said we would try to find other solutions at a sooner date. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Andrews, here is the way we are going to leave this now, because we are not going to solve this today. Max, and ladies and gentlemen, I recognize your problem and your con- cern and what it basically is, and stop me if I'm saying some- thing wrong is, that there are several groups that are using that facility. There is a conflict of space and perhaps approach and some people that are here today might feel somewhat un- comfortable because of the variety of activities that are going on. Am I saying it right? Mr. Friedsen: You're right. Mr. Mayor, may I interrupt you for just a second? We cannot improve the services to the elderly under these conditions. The elderly` did not receive any lunch programs, they didn't receive anything from the Division of Aging, of which I am a member, and I'm here to notify you of that. Mayor Ferre: Max, the problem is, there are other citizens that have needs who also are using that space, Now it would be wrong on this commission, although it would be satisfying to be E.ble to say to you , ok, we solved your problems, but we just can't unilateraly, which is what it would be, or arbitrarily if you want, today solve the problem by saying 'Ok, Senior Citizens, you have the space and the youth groups are going to have to move out." We just can't do that today. What I would like to do is, I would like to ask the Manager that with the maximum amount cf haste that he look into the differnet possib- ilities, cause there might more than one of solving this problem. You know what the, problem is now and bring it back to the commission, perhaps in the next meeting or the March 28th meeting. Saying look, here is what the problem is, here is how many people we have, here are the activity days, and here is maybe a possible solution, or if you find no solution, then come back and tell us there is no solution till October and then we will have to take it up at that time. Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor. One other thing. Max, this is what I was trying, hoping we would do. Those young people out there could be of tremendous service to those senior citizens. You know, I see some of you who are my members. I didn't want to say that, but you know, I have a mother who is 80 years of age. You know what I have discovered? It has taken her to become 80 years of age' for me to understand, I think more fully senior citizens. Whether these young people are in the Park or not, there are some problems connected with that park. Mrs. Cash, I know I can talk with you. You know what? You know what I believe? You could beseech these young people for the time you are trying to work out this business to help protect those senior citizens because whether they stay or whether they go --some problems are yet in that park and you could then put the heat on these young people tobe more concerned about what is happening.' Do you see what I'm talking about, Max? And then what would happen in a short time, we would get some things done, plus let me say this, the one stop governmental center is Theodore Gibson's idea. I was the originator. What we need to do, the senior citizens, need to be concerned about is, the senior citizens need to put some heat on the. County, because that building has been sitting up there, owned by H.U.D. for an awful long time, and H. U. D. has been dragging its feet. Not H.U.D., the County Manager's Office has been dragging its feet about what to do with that building. Mat► T ask you if you would permit me +.a,•k to you • Mayor Ferre: I understand, but that falls within the perogative of the Manager, and I am sure you don't want to take his position. Mrs. Gordon I am asking through you to the manager. Mayor Ferre: I am sure that the Manager would welcome your assistance and help. Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor, I would like to do this on our own and work with these people. We have met with them three times as groups and senior citizens, and these people, and I would like to have the priviledge of working with them to try to solve this. And, if I can't solve it, I will come back. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Manager, in your consultations with them, are You also bearing in mind that you might not be able to mix oil and vinegar and start looking for another location for each one, would you? Are you going to be doing this? Or is it simply a matter of trying tc say "Look, live harmoniously together, etc., etc.". Mr. Andrews: No, we will try to find separate facilities. Mayor Ferre: He is going to be reporting back. Mrs. Gordon: Ok, if you want my assistance, I will be glad to help you. Mayor'Ferre: Thank you Mrs. Gordon. Thank You.' Yes, ma'am.' Esther Mae Armbruster: My name is Esther Mae Armbruster. I' secretary of the Senior Citizens. I have been for the past nine years. I am also a member of H.U.D., project urban committee. I'm also a member of the Housing task force committee. The building that you are speaking of at 3188 -The H.U.D., will not be ready before December 31, 1974. Now there is an existing building, part of that bui7ding that was used for a drug store. That building, that particular part is just the same size as the part that the young children are using on the park. Now in the meantime, I have teenagers, I think the drug program is beauti- fulbeauti- ful. But that particular part of the building on Douglas Road could suffice until the building is ready in December. It will not be ready before that time, October is out. Mayor Ferre A11 right, the Manager will take all of that into consideration in his investigations and report. Do you want to speak on this subject? Mr. George Symonette: My name is George_Symonette,` a very much concerned citizen of my community. I have lived there thirty. one years, and I am a businessman also. I feel that these young people are doing a tremendous job, and I hate to see that they are being driven from this place into that place. I feel that the most essential need in the community is a drug pro- gram. Now all these other programs that exist, I feel they are. not the most essential need. I feel that the most essential need is the drug program. This is why old people and tourists, and everybody else are afraid to walk the streets. Now Mr. Selt and Mr. Scott came and talked to me, they cane to my busi- ness before they got started and they told me what the program was going to be consisting of and to me, they are doing just what they said they were going to do. They selected, in fact, they screened ten young people out of approximately thirty to do the job. And the job is being done. Mr. Symonette; I feel that that particular portion of that wilding was not used at that time, now they want to extend. But that portion of the building was not used and I` feel that the most essential need in my community is a drug program and there is nothing wrong in having it right there. E Mrs. Gordon; We agree you need a drug program, I agree one hundred percent. but I believe that we can serve the drug pro- gram maybe more efficiently if we have the proper facilities.` Therefore, that is my reason. Also, we do not have to interfere a with another very wonderful program. We want both programs, we don't want to sacrifice one for the other or one is more important than the other. They are both important and I want to help, that's why I'm speaking up, I don't want to hurt._ Mayor Ferre: Let me assure you, Mr. Symonette that everyone on this commission wants to help, and that we are all conscious. Nobody here is going to permit a good program to be killed or scuffled, or put on the side. And nothing is happening today, we are just asking the Manager to investigate this, which is hisr job, and he is going to come back and tell us what he thinks ought to be done, and then we are going to discuss it again. And at that time, we would be happy to listen and hear from you. You have our assurance, !all of us here on this commission, that nothing is going to be cone until we have a full investigation, 'and a full discussion, and we are not going to in any way at any time kill one program to help another one. I think Max Friedsen of all people who is one of the most conscientious citizens that we have in this community is the first one that is going to stand up for proper programs for all of the cit- iaens of this community. He's not against youth. He's out protecting the senior citigens. That's what he is mainly interested in, but that doesn't mean that he is against youth. It just means that he wants to protect the senior citizens. Now you are interested in the youth program and you have strong feelings. And I am just assuring you, that we are not taking sides here today. Ok? That's all you want to be assured of today. Nothing, is going to happen to the program, ok? We will be talking about it again in the future. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, may I offer a suggestion because I hate to see these people go away from here saying, well hell, we have been stuffed off again. Can we make it a definite thing that on the 14th of March we will give them an answer? Mayor Ferre: I already have. I said the 14th or the 28th. Mr. Manager, can you do it by the 14th? Mrs. Gordon: Also Mr. Manager,will you look and see ii you have a portablebuilding that you can put in that park location? Mayor Ferre: That's what he is going to look into. Mr.: Plummer: It's going to behoove him if we put a deadline him of the 14th of March that he's got to come up with the answers, but don't let these people leave here thinking; its going to be - - - on' 3', CITY ATTORNEY _REPORT ON CITY COUNTY JOINT ACTION COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP Mayor Ferre: Now take up Item 3. City -County Joint Action Com- mittee-City Attorney's Opinion as to membership. Mr. Attorney. ATTAG{ET'C that they could not photograph the speaker at the podium, so if you would have somebody move the podiums sideways. which we can still see the speaker, and their cameras can see the speaker, but for God's sake do something with these lights. and I ask of the press, if you are not shooting. turn those lights off, they are brutal. Mr. Crouch you have a switch over there, I know you do, ---thank you. Mayor Ferre:'You guys waive to us when you want the lights on. I know it is hard on you people with the cameras but after 15 minutes under those lights, --today we will be here 12 hours. Think about us a little bit. PERSONAL APPEARANCE- ELIZA�ETF� VIRRICK RE COCONUT GROVE FAMILY CU ftLC Mrs. Elizabeth Virrick: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Charles Jackson, the Administrator of the Family Health Clinic is going to give you the background and then I'll say a few words at the end if I may. Mr. Charles Jackson: I am Charles Jackson , Administrator of the Coconut Grove Health Clinic. I'll be very brief, --of course the background of the Clinic that started back in 1970 with concerned citizens of the Coconut Grove area concerning health care services for Coconut Grove residents. Since that time, ----and of course we were granted space in the Elizabeth Virrick Park, a little building in the back. Since that time, we have provided services for over 13,000 patient visits. However.. at this point in time, we are busting out of the seams of the little building, plus we would like to again provide comprehensive health care services with emphasis on preventive health care. On yesterday, September 11, 1974 I submitted to the Mayor Commissioners as well as the Vice -Mayor's o:'fice, the full space allocation for Coconut Grove Family Clinic, which the Board.is proposing to hopefully to request space, additional space, in the Theodore Gibson Building that was one time used by Dade County Administrative Office, of the E.O.P.I. section. Again I'll be very brief because - the information that I would normally been discussing we prepared it for you to possibly critique. Mrs. Virrick,--- Mrs. Virrick: In brief, the Family Health Clinic. which Father Gibson and I got started some two years ago. is in that little tiny building, it is suffering from lack of space, we have been worried that any day the people who hold the clinic and that is the University of Miami Medical School faculty and graduate students and the Dade County Health Department, hold the clinics there, and we have been afraid that they would give up because the space is, so limited. They don't even have a place to put their stock of medicines. We are now applying for a H.E.W. grant, and are given to understand that if we can have adequate space, the grant will be awarded. So we m me to you this morning asking you to give us the un-used space in the large building in the park, that no one is using, it will not interfere with any use of other parts of the building and we really need it badly, because the service we are giving is vital to the community, as you probably know. Mr. Plummer: Let's hear from the Manager, I think he is the one to speakto it, ----Pail? Mr. Andrews: We have looked into this matter from the 17 SEP 121914 administrative point of view. There is no objection, however we set down certain criteria that we ask that you follow, Mrs. Virrick, and 'one of those was to get a written letter which I could present to the City Commission from the Senior Citizens group that there would not be any conflict in the use of the building as a result of the two, we have not received that as yet. Do you know if that is forth coming? Mrs. Virrick: The only thing I know is that Mr. Jackson MI had very enthusiastic support from the senior citizens, when 11 he first started this, but recently somebody has spread the — word around that we want to use their part of the building which is not true, therefore they are opposing itr---they are opposing it on a premise that is not true, Mr. Andrews: Well, I can say this, Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission, I would be glad to meet with Mrs. Virrick. and representatives of the senior citizens, and if there is no problem, then you wish to predicate your decision based on that. go ahead. Mayor Ferre: Is that reasonable, they, you would meet with the Manager, and then come back to the commission. Mr. Plummer: Not acceptable to me, let's make a motion today approving it to the subject of the Manager's entering into the picture. looking over the situation, and it being approved by this Commission subject to his approval. Mayor Ferre: There is a motion and second, ---Commission Gordon has a question, then I'll recognize you, then Mrs. Virrick. Mrs. Gordon: Mrs. Virrick, you want to operate the expanded facility in the main building, as I understand it. I haven't been to inspect it recently, there are several buildings on the property that could be used. Rev. Gibson: They are either moved, or in the process of being moved. Mrs. Virrick: You mean those buildings are going to be demolished,those, two. homes? Rev. Gibson: They are going to be moved. Mrs. Gordon: Moved to where? Rev. Gibson: I' don't know. Mr. Crouch: Those two homes have been sold and will be moved, they are in the process of being moved. Mrs. Gordon: Wouldn't that have been a good idea to put this family health facility in its own private house ? ` Mr. Crouch: It would not be in keepin9w th:the_plans for the parks development and recreational facilities,_ - Mrs. Gordon It is too late,you have already sold them you say. What a shame. 18 SEP 12 1974 Jean Allen: My name is Jean Alien,I am a senior health planner with the Health Planning Council here in town. The Health Planning Council as you may aware, is a non-profit volunteer agency that sets health goals for the community, and then helps the community to meet those goals. One thing the Health Planning Council has been very much in favor of, with primary health services such as the Coconut Grove Clinic, is, we have been in favor of neighborhood based health services, such as the Coconut Grove clinic, which have community boards with policy making authority over all aspects of the programs. We have worked with the Coconut Grove family clinic, and with the County, relative to a facility that the County is opening in Coconut Grove, the Intergrated Service Delivery System which you may know about. The County has discussed in the past operating health services out of that. facility, which is the former grocery store on the corner of Douglas Road and U.S. #1. Question I would ask to be considered, one is, if the County decides to put health services into the building, at the corner of Douglas Road and U.S. 1, what impact will that have on the Coconut Grove Clinic? Will there be duplication of services, in that there will be two groups operating services in Coconut Grove. Secondly, if the County operates services in this new facility, will the Health Department move from the Coconut Grove Clinic to the new facility, what impact will that have on the Coconut Grove Clinic? Thirdly or fourthly, is the question about who will renovate the facility, the Theodore Gibson facility in the park if they are allowed to move to operate health services. Thank you. Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor I want to speak to this. Some months ago, the Metropolitan Dade County came down here and made promises to us. They haven't done one doggoned thing about their promises nor commitments. You are talking about what you may do, and what you hope to do, these people are already doing, --they exist. These people. are the ones with the ideas, the ones who came up with the neighborhood services, and that is how we are where we are. I need to tell this Commission, that Metropolitan Dade County was represented by Mr. Dixon, and I want to tell you this, all we got was a lot of promises, and never action or delivery. And I am going to say to the Board, you ought to vote, give them that space, let them use it, then we will deal with it when that time comes. While we are here talking and planning and carrying on, the people are suffering. I think the Board ought to vote right now. Mayor Ferre: The motion as I heard Mr. Plummer make, seconded by Father Gibson is, that we approve this, subject to the final negotiation by the Administration, is that right? Mr. Plummer: Correct, Thereupon the following motion was introduced by Mr. Plummer who moved its adoption: MOTION NO. 74-968 A MOTION APPROVING, IN PRINCIPLE THE RE- QUEST OF THE COCONUT GROVE FAMILY CLINIC FOR ADDITIONAL SPACE IN THE MAIN BUILDING AT ELIZABETH VIRRICK PARK, SUBJECT TO NEGOTIATIONS WITH AND APPROVAL OF THE CITY MANAGER 19 SEP 121974 Upon being seconded by Rev. Gibson, the motion was passed and adopted by the following vote -. AYES: Mr. Plummer, Mr. Reboso, Rev. Gibson, Mrs. Gordon, Mayor Ferre. NOES: None. Rev. Gibson: I hope this commission will never let it, be said that that building belongs to the senior citizens., That -building belongs to the public. I know what you don't know, Rose, and you see I live with the problem. Mrs. Gordon: Well, tell me what I don't know, then I'll know. _ ,- Rev. Gibson: You see me after the meeting, we don't want to consume the time of the Commission here, but i am // going to tell you something, you can't afford to have a publicly owned building and only the senior citizens control it. I am going to leave it pit that, Mr. Manager. in the negotiating process you are aware that that is there. Mrs. Gordon: Let me remind everybody that Legion Park is designated for seniors, so we have done it before. We supply the needs. Rev. Gibson: That park isn't citizens. Mrs. Virrick: We want Father Gibsorfs help in these negotiations, please. AIRPORT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS flT SCUSS i ON AND DEFERRAL TO OCTOBER L6 AT yRAPEi AND NE I r,NTS Mayor Ferre: Let's take up Item 7, an Ordinance amending C-A airport commercial district, the Planning Department recommended approval, the Advisory Board 7 to 0 recommended an amendment to the Zoning ordinance. I'd like to say, Mr. Acton, before you say anything else, or say the first word, I see members of the Grapeland Heights Assoc. that are here. I made a commitment, it was made a part of the public records on two occasions before this City Commission, and was concurred on by all of the Commissioners, that we were not going to hear this item, ---Mr. Andrews, --we were not going to hear this item unless we gave the people of Grapeland Heights at Stephen P. Clark Community Building in Grapeland Heights the opportunity to listen to our deliberations,express their opinions, and we were going to have a meeting there. I see it is on the agenda today, I'd like to know why. Mr. Plummer: I can tell you the reason why.-- -Paul is a big boy and can fight for himself, Mr. Mayor I was with you that evening that the commitment as made. and when you made it, you made it for yourself and for me, and I can tell you the reason the faux -pas has occured is, Mr. Andrews was not present at that meeting, and there is a break -down in communications. Mayor Ferre: Paul I don't want to be critical, but it was stated right here, if you go back to the agenda of the previous meeting, Andy, you remember that we made the statement 20 SEP 1:21974 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Jim Reid, Director Planning Department Donald W.
