CITY COMMISSION OF MIAMI, FLORIDA
On the 26 day of February, 1979 the City Commission of Miami,Florida
met at its regular meeting place in the City Hall, 3500 Pan American
Drive, Miami, Florida in regular session.
The meeting was called to order at 2:26 O'Clock P.M. by Mayor
Maurice A. Ferre with the following members of the commission found to
be present;
ALSO PRESENT:
Commissioner Rose Gordon
Commissioner Armando Lacasa
Commissioner (Rev.) Theodore Gibson
Mayor Maurice A. Ferre
Vice -Mayor Plummer
Joseph R. Grassie, City Manager
R. L. Fosmoen, Assistant City Manager
George F. Knox, City Attorney

A motion to waive the reading of the minutes was introduced and
seconded and was passed unanimously.
1. ESTABLISH DATE FOR DEDICATION OF CITY OF MIAMI HEAVY EQUIPMENT
SERVICE FACILITY:
Mayor Ferre: We are now in session as a continuation of the Thursday
February 22nd meeting for the items we did not conclude on that day,
and we are now on item H. which is the dedication of the City's heavy
equipment service facilities. Is noon March 22nd acceptable to everybody
on that?
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor my only problem is, is one of a continuing problem,
and that is that we find that where we have to take two hours out of the
heart of a Commission Meeting. Sometimes Its putting us here until very,
very late in the evening. I think we ought to revert back to the old policy
of the Commission that we hold it on other than a Commission day and those
who can make it do such, and those that can't, well,...
Mrs.Gordon: I agree with you. Anytime you want to do it, but if you try it
all in one day it just adds up to be a marathon.
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Grassie, other than the 22nd of March, give us a different
date.
1
-FEE 2 6 1973
Mr. Grassie: Well we could put it off till the first meeting,..
Mr. Plummer: No, other than a meeting.
Mr. Grimm: We could do whatever the Commission wishes Mr. Mayor and
members of the Commission, but we did kind of plan on having the
City employees prepare a lunch for you that day.
Mr. Plummer: Why don't we put it off a day. How about the 23rd?
Mr. Grimm: Yes, sir.
Mr. Plummer: Okay, at noontime.
Mrs. Gordon: J.L. that would be an impossible date for a conflict that
I have.
Mr. Plummer: How about the 21st?
Mrs. Gordon: Okay.
Mr. Plummer:I am assuming my secretary is listening.
Mayor Ferre: Mr. Grassie,...
Mr. Grassie: Sir?
Mayor Ferre: Did you hear that, like sometimes we are talking and doing
other things, and we don't listen, did you hear what the comment was here
about meeting days and facilities, inauguration facilities, we shouldn't
have them when we have meetings?
Mr. Grassie: Yes, and we are trying to find another date.
Mrs. Gordon: Why do you have to have it at noon? It could be in the
morning.
Mr. Plummer: A lunch, Rose.
Mr. Grassie: The only reason we suggest that is for your convenience,
but if it is not convenient for you, we can put it off a week, --the
first part of April will be fine.
Mr. Grimm: Why don't we come back on the 22nd and ask you what your
schedule is?
Ma or Ferre: That's much better.
2. SECOND READING ORDINANCE -ESTABLISH FEES FOR SPECIALIZED
RECREATIONAL AND INSTRUCTIONAL CLASSES TO BE CONDUCTED
BY DEPT. OF LEISURE SERVICES.
Mayor Ferre: We are now on item 14 which is a second reading of
an ordinance establishing fees for specialized recreational and
instructional classes to be conducted by the Department of Leisure
Services. It was moved previously by Mrs. Gordon.
Mrs. Gordon: I move it again.
Mayor Ferre: Mrs. Gordon moves again, Father Gibson seconds. Read the
ordinance.

Mrs. Gordon inquired when the appointments would be made.
Mayor Ferre: Would you schedule them for the next Commission Meeting?
I think we ought to establish a system so that we don't end up at the
last moment coming up with names and having confusion and all that.
Mrs. Gordon:I'd like to deliver a message to the Commission. Mr. Herbert
Lee Simon who worked on this ordinance for years now, asked if you would
consider him for an appointment. And that's the message.
Mayor Ferre: I certainly will. Okay. That

names couldn't be submitted
which is Tuesday afternoon
You'd have a full day to
Mrs. Gordon: This is critical. It isn't a Board that anybody is going to
be actively seeking, I don't think except someone who has worked on it
like Simon I guess.
Mayor Ferre: I am just trying to set a precedent Rose for the future
because I think we ought to have at least 24 hours for members of the
Commission to think about who these people are, rather than to come up
with the names and then delay it for another meeting, or,...I would say
if all the names are submitted to the Clerk by 5 o'clock on Tuesday before
the Thursday meeting.
Mrs. Gordon: Okay is somebody will remind us that the time is running out
it will be fine.
Mr. Grassie: Mr. Mayor I wonder if it would help,..you remember recently,
about a year ago, the City Commission adopted a policy with regard to the
way you would handle nominations to Boards, and one of the things that
provides for is that our staff is supposed to send out to you notices
that appointments are due. We are supposed to get back any nominations,
distribute resumes to all of you so that you have in front of you copies
of all of the people that have been nominated, and then only after that
put it on your agenda.
Mayor Ferre: You can do that by the 8th? You can't do it by the 8th.
Mr. Grassie: Well, we have a week ago sent out the initial notification
to you that people needed to be nominated. And as soon as we get those
resumes back we would of course put it on the agenda for you.
Mayor Ferre: I don't know whether Fausto or Marie,..I can't think of anybody
that I know that wants to be on that Board. We'll have to see what names come
we come up with.
Mr. Grassie: If you would like us to continue that process I think it would
protect you in the sense of having advance notice.
Mayor Ferre: Okay, that's fine.

8. DEFERRAL OF CONSIDERATION OF EMERGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING
ORD. 8858 APPROPRIATING LUMP SUMS FOR AFSCME BARGAINING
UNIT EMPLOYEES; MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES: AND APPOINTED
OFFICIALS FOR SALARY INCREASE.
Mayor Ferre: We are on item 1122, an emergency ordinance amending
Ord. 8858, appropriating $913,733 for the 3.5% lump sum payments
for the ASFCME bargaining unit employees. Who wants to move that?
Mr. Plummer: I move it.
Mr. Lacasa: I second it.
Mrs. Gordon: I have a question. The question relates to the 3rd sentence
from the end, 'the management employees and appointed officials' portion.
I thought this was negotiated for the general employees and that the
Management employees and appointed officials were given the raises
already. Now, I believe that in January when we passed the emergency
ordinance for the general employees for the 5.5 percent salary increase,
that did not read as this one reads and Mr. Grassie would you please
explain why this reads differently?
Mr. Grassie: It does not read differently Commissioner. It reads just
as the other one did. The other one read just as this one is now presented
to you.
Mrs. Gordon: Well I'm reading it only from the agenda that was given to
us on January 18. Now, I'm reading only from the agenda. I don't have the
ordinance before me on that so.
Mr. Grassie: We'd be happy to provide you with a copy of that ordinance.

FEB 2 F 1979
Mrs. Gordon: The January 18th I am talking about. We passed an emergency
ordinance on January 18th which was to set aside or increase the appropri-
ation for the funding of that 5.5 percent salary increase. Now, if you
would Mr. Mayor I would appreciate if we set this aside until I can
receive a copy of the emergency ordinance we passed on January 18,--
Item 1113 on that agenda.
Mayor Ferre: All right there's a motion to table, which I guess we
could bring it up automatically.
Mrs. Gordon: Yes, it will come back just as soon as I can get it.
Mayor Ferre: If you withdraw your motion, that just simplifies the whole
thing. We will take up 22 later on. Do you mean today Rose?
Mrs. Gordon:Yes, whenever I get it. I just want to look at it.

10. EMERGENCY ORDINANCE -AMEND ORD. 8858 - APPROPRIATE 3.5% AND 2.5%
SALARY INCREASES FOR AFSCME BARGAINING UNIT EMPLOYEES;
MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES - DISCUSSION OF THE APPLICATION
OF THESE COST OF LIVING INCREASES TO MANAGERIAL,APPOINTED
OFFICIALS AND CONFIDENTIAL STAFF.
Mayor Ferre: All right, is this what Rose was asking for?
Mrs. Gordon: This troubled me because the agenda item which we were
given at that time did not include that. This that I'm given now does
include that. The agreement in my opinion, --the ordinance was not set
up for increasing on top of the increases that the managerial staff
received, and even our appointed officials. And I don't know what
confidential employees is relating to. What is confidential employees?
Mr. Grassie: That is a classification that comes out of State law and
it exempts from bargaining units employees such as secretaries to
department heads. Those are considered confidential employees.
Mrs. Gordon: You, yourself and other received substantial increases .
This 5.5% is on top of those other increases?
Mr. Grassie: No, Commissioner. The only increases that the staff has
received have been the same kinds of increases that everybody receives
so long as they are within a step of their range, --their pay range.
In other words all employees received either step increases on an annual
basis or what are called longevity increases. Now those two things happen
for department heads if they are eligible for them because they do have
enough steps in the range and that also happens with employees and that's
over and above the process you are talking about now which is an increase
in everybody's range.
Mrs. Gordon: Does this apply to you? Did you get the 5.5%
Mr. Grassie: When I first processed these increases with the City, --no
I left out the appointed officials. That is the City Attorney, City Manager
and the City Clerk. If you remember that question was brought up with the
City Commission specifically and at that time you instructed me to put those
positions back in. So then, we have done that.
Mrs. Gordon: But this on top of your other increase that you received?
Mr. Grassie: You mean a year ago?
Mayor Ferre: When was the last increase you received?
Mrs. Gordon: When was the last increase you got, other than the 5.5%
Mr. Grassie: Well, except for the automatic one which is part of the
agreement.
Mrs. Gordon: What was that and when was that?
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Grassie, it was part, as I recall it, --we at the time
of hiring you agreed upon a certain salary and then in 6 months an increase.
Mr. Grassie: In a year.
Mr. Plummer: It went almost two years, and you did not receive it, and
as I recall it was like 6 months ago, --
Mayor Ferre: More than that. It was over a year ago. He's been here two and
a half years, and I think he went a year and a half without an increase.
Then about about a year ago he got an increase.
9 FE6 2 6 19'9
Mrs. Gordon: I think maybe we need some statistical information without
guessing around with this thing, because it was never my understanding
that the 5.5% salary increase that came about by the bargaining of the
employees union and our labor negotiator was going to result in an in-
crease to managerial and appointed officials.
Mayor Ferre: Are you worried about anybody besides the Manager on this
Rose?
Mrs. Gordon: Yes, to the categories that were not in the bargaining unit.
I don't know why we are increasing on top of increases.
Mayor Ferre: Let me tell you that there was absolutely no question in
my mind, and I'm not talking about the Manager, --I'm talking about some
of the employees upstairs on both sides and all over the City that they
would be covered by whatever it was that the general employees got.
Mrs. Gordon: Well certainly the secretaries weren't provided for in
a special individualized increase but,to the managerial, --I know Mr.
Grassie increased his staff other than the 5.5%
Mayor Ferre: Secretaries were not increased that way.Secretaries had
been waiting.
Mrs. Gordon: Not the secretaries.
Mayor Ferre: I am talking about them.
Mrs. Gordon: I am excluding the secretaries from my discussion. I am
referring specifically to Mr. Grassie, his assistant Managers and other
appointed officials which do include the Clerk. I know that we increased
their salary very recently and are we now increasing them again on top
of that? I mean they are fine people, and I like them very much. But that
isn't the point. The point is, is this the pattern, or is it not the pattern.
I just want to understand what am I doing. Thank you.
Mr. Ongie: If I may assist you Mrs. Gordon, because I a year ago brought
this to the attention of the City Manager. These cost -of -living adjustment
as far back as we could go in payroll records always had included these
positions. And Mr. Grassie was naturally unaware of this about a year
ago and I attempted to explain it to him at that time. I got the payroll
records from all of those positions for the last 10 or 15 years. The answer
was yes, they were always included in the cost -of -living increases becauee
these cost -of -living increases go to the department heads and to their
assistants. If they are not given to the other three appointed positions,
those salaries then get thrown out of proportion with the salaries that
are paid to the department heads. I did research this myself a year ago
and introduced the payroll records.
Mrs. Gordon: Tell me now so I can understand quickly that in addition to
the increase which we granted to you, and I don't recall the date, are you
getting a 5.5% increase on top of that?
Mr. 0ngie: Yes, because the increase which was granted to me, since I
work directly for the City Commission, would be in the same sense of a
step increase. The City Manager has jurisdiction over all personnel in
the City with the exception of the City Attorney, myself and my assistant.
Those salaries are directly set by the City Commission and there is no
automatic step increases except what you set for me. The answer is, that
in addition to the salaries that you set, all department heads, whatever
their salary is, the cost -of -living increases are automatic for every-
body
Mr. Plummer: He included it in his budget.
Mayor Ferre: Well what do we do with this item though?
Rev. Gibson: Are you through?
1.0
FEB 2 f' 1S S
Mrs. Gordon: Yes, I'm through, because as far as I knew from my records
when I look back to January 18 and didn't see in the agenda the same
thing I'm seeing now on the copy of the ordinance that was given to me,
I question the procedure that we were going to adopt today which was to
increase in a 2.5% salary increase to the management employees and
appointed officials and this time we don't include the confidential
employees. So I don't know who's being left out. Who's the confidential
ones that are being left out?
Mayor Ferre: It includes them.
Mr. Plummer: That's the little sneaky one behind the door in the rear of
the shadow.
Mayor Ferre: Look, the wording last Thursday that you are talking about
says like this, 'increase for the City of Miami ASFCME bargaining units
employees, managerial and/or confidential employees and appointed officials', --
that's last week. This week it reads like this,'for the City of Miami
ASFCME bargaining unit employees, managerial and/or confidential employees
and appointed officials.'
Mrs. Gordon: Okay, the backup is the same.
Mayor Ferre: Okay what do you want to do now?
Mrs. Gordon: Go ahead, move along.
Mayor Ferre: Plummer, you had moved this in the beginning? You want to
still move this?
Mr. Plummer: Yes.
Mr. Lacasa : I second it.
Mrs. Gordon: No further discussion.

11. AUTHORIZE CITY ATTORNEY TO CHOOSE OUTSIDE LAWFIRM FOR THE
"PROSTITUTION -PORNOGRAPHY" LEGAL LAWSUITS, RECOMMENDED
FIRM TO APPEAR AT THE MARCH 8, 1979 CITY COMMISSION
MEETING
Mayor Ferre: I just noticed Grace Rockafellar and Mr. Rockafellar sitting
back there and I just remembered that I, in conversation with her this
morning, we talked aobut this problem Rose, that we talked about before
about hiring an attorney to help on this whole prostitution legal problem.
Well, now, George Knox had to go off to some convention and conference
in Colorado. He won't be back and there's a meeting coming up this
coming Thursday with the whole neighborhood,are you,.. what's the position
of the Law Department?
Mr. Alvarez: Well, I have been instructed to number one, attend the meeting,
with an assistant City Attorney who is working directly on the case. I
have further been instructed to contact, and I am not at liberty at this
point to disclose the name of a criminal attorney for the purpose of
assisting if necessary in the prosecution and disposing of these cases.
Mrs. Gordon: You say an outside attorney, --you are going to be engaging
an outside attorney? Okay, fine. What's the problem?
Unidentified person: Money.
Mayor Ferre: There's no problem. We need to inform the Commission about it.
Mrs. Gordon: The only reason why we withdrew our position at the last meeting
was because Mr. Knox's expertise on the subject, but Mr. Knox is not going to
be here, so therefore, what are we going to do? Sit back on our haunches? No.
So consequently we have to move forward.
Mayor Ferre: Do we need a motion to that effect?
Mr. Alvarez: Yes, and of course, a source of funding.
Mayor Ferre: Mr. Lacasa makes the motion, Mrs. Gordon seconds it, that the
City Attorney be instructed to retain outside counsel to be as assistant
of counsel is the way you put it, in the whole prostitution legal matters
pending before the City of Miami.
1.2
FEB 6 ;9;9
Mr. Plummer: Is that a motion without a dollar on it? Because if it is,
I've got to vote against it. I have no problem with getting an counsel
to assist the department, but,..
Mayor Ferre:...and that the City Attorney come back with both the
recommendation of the firm and the amount of money it will cost,for
final action on the 8th of March by this Commission, and that whoever
you choose be present at his own time on Thursday. He will not be
compensated until after we've come to a final agreement on March 8th.
Mr. Alvarez: Well, no, --right. He will not be actually hired until
you adopt a resolution.
Mayor Ferre: He's on his own until March 8th. He or she. Does that cover it?
Mrs. Grace Rockafellar: Mr. Mayor its only on the pornography, to combat
these very brilliant, --the pornography, where they are trying to get
amnesty or where they were promised amnesty, and we have everything against
them to close them down and Bob Conklin, president of Little River Chamber
of Commerce and myself have been busy for 3 days contacting merchants and
we have a meeting set up Thursday afternoon, and in talking to Mr. Knox
this morning, he said he wasn't going to be here. Then after talking to
you, you invited me down here. Now we're very grateful that Mr. Knox
is cooperating with this Commission in hiring an outside attorney because
we feel that if we have a good aggressive attorney with courtroom experience
that based on the facts that we have, these pornograpers will be closed down,
and will give the merchants and the different people that are working to
build that community out there a much better chance that we can soon get
it back on the payroll, with revenue coming into to the City with the right
type of business in that community, for we will be able to bring new business
in. And I think this is step forward and I commend this Commission and
I commend Mr. Knox for his cooperation in this, and we are very grateful
for that. And this will be on the agenda for March 8th?
Mayor Ferre: Thank you Mrs. Rockafellar.

it quite that way.
of the Plasma Corporations. We did
operating in a legal manner. What
Mr. Alvarez: I don't know specifically what cases you are thinking of.
0n this particular case there was a finding by the Circuit Court that
Plasma Corporation permits or licenses was wrongfully withheld by the
City and therefore they accrue damages as a result of not being able to
be in business. That finding being made and appealed and sustained then,..
Mr. Plummer: It was appealed? District court?
Mr. Alvarez: Yes, sir, 3rd District,...and may I add that under the
recent case of Munnel, I think this is a good settlement.
Mr. Plummer: I don't know Mr. Munnel. My problem is this, Mr. Alvarez.
We caused more than one of these,...what jeopardy if anything is this
City being placed in by these other companies, because as I recall there
were a number of them.
FEE 2 6 '6�
Mr. Alvarez: Well if the same company was involved this would be
a res judicata. Now, if there are other potential cases, I am not
aware of them, I could inquire for you. I doubt it if there'll be,..
this case stands on it's own facts. And you see this is probably
a unique situation.
Mr. Plummer: Well tell me why the finding of the court in this particular
case said that the City acted improperly.
Mr. Alvarez: Well there was a deposition taken and if I recall the facts
of the case, an official in the license division who is no longer with
the City, there were instructed to do whatever they needed to do to get
him out of business, something to that effect.
Mr. Plummer: So what you are saying is then in effect the action not of
this Commission but the action of an employee of the Building Department
acted improperly.
Mr. Alvarez: I am not sure of which department, but yes, you are correct,
it was not the action of the Commission. This is the vicarious type liability
to the City.
Mr. Plummer: It is my understanding that the Commission passed ordinances
which were in fact legal and proper.
Mr. Alvarez: Right. No, no. Not the ordinance. What we're talking about
were the actions of the employees of the City in withholding the license.
Mr. Plummer: Okay. And it's your recommendation that we pay it?
Mr. Alvarez: Yes, sir.
Mr. Plummer: I'll move it.
Mrs. Gordon: Which item are we on?
Mayor Ferre: We are on item 34. You worked your problem out Mr. Plummer?
Mr. Plummer: Our problem, yes, sir.
Mayor Ferre: Our problem. Who moved that?
Mr. Plummer: I did.
Mayor Ferre: Further discussion? Call the roll.
Mr. Plummer on roll call: Wait a minute Mr. Mayor, obviously I don't.
Now Mr. Alvarez,....
Mayor Ferre: You don't what.
Mr. Plummer: No, I'm not finished with it. Mr. Alvarez, I am reading from
the backup material that says in case this thing went to trial. Now you
are telling me it went to trial and went to appeal.
Mr. Alvarez: Oh, yes, sir, as to liability. I am speaking here solely of
damages. If it went to trial on damages that we are going to pay them,
has been established by the court ruling that we roughly withheld the
operational license.
Mr. Plummer: There is a difference then?
Mr. Alvarez: Well there are two aspects to a case, --liability and damages.

M TAYLOR FOR USE OF PROPERTY AT 111 N.W. 5TH STREET IN
CONNECTION WITH CULMER C.D. PROGRAM.
Mayor Ferre: On 49,...Father Gibson moves.
Rev. Gibson: No, no,no. I want to find out if the people who live in
that area were not consulted on this. They were here complaining.
Mayor Ferre: Okay. What do you want to do ?
Rev. Gibson: I want to postpone it until they have an opportunity.
Mayor Ferre: Father Gibson moves that item 49 be deferred until the
people in the neighborhood have the opportunity to be fully consulted
and come before this Commission .
Mr. Lacasa: Second.
Mr. Plummer:Also let the motion if possible indicate that I feel that this
is a tremendously high figure for a one year lease and that I hope that
when they come back at the next meeting that they will have some substitute
properties available.
Mrs. Gordon: I think it is enormous amount. I would like to know how much
space was involved in that. Can anybody answer that?
Mr. Plummer: Well, Rose in you backup. They included, --its 8.50 a sq. ft.
Now, 8.50 includes everything but telephone. It includes electric and all
of that. They could have got it at 6.50. But I still think its high.
Mrs. Cordon: Sure because you can get into a real first class facility
now, --a real nice facility for 8.50.
Mr. Plummer: Well this is a first class building.
Mr. Grassie: Just for the information of the City Commission, we do have
a meeting scheduled Thursday in the neighborhood and that should be able
answer some of the questions that you have.
Mr. Plummer: Well Mr. Grassie let me ask maybe a stupid question, but
I won't know the amount of stupidity until I ask it. The old police station,
why isn't that possibly being utilized? We own that.
Mr. Grassie: You are talking about the precinct station?
Mr. Plummer: The old police station. The one on llth Street.
Inaudible.
Mr. Plummer: Being used by who?
Mr. Grimm: Dade County.
Mr. Plummer: Our building is being used by Dade County. What are they paying
us rent?
Mr. Grassie: About 15 thousand a year I think.
Mr. Daughtery: That's the Culmer Center, that's presently being used by
Dade County and in that building we have the Senior Citizen's Program that
is funded both by Dade County and the City of Miami Revenue Sharing, and
C.A.A. Dade County Community Action Agency. The building is fully,,..
Mr. Plummer:..utilized. And what are they paying us rent?
27
FES 2 6 1979
Mr. Daughtery: Mr. Bond would have to answer that. I don't think there's
any rent.
Mr. Plummer: They are paying us nothing? Because they are using our
facility we have to go out and spent 42.5.
Mrs. Gordon: They ought to pay something but I say, the programs they
have in there we can't quarrel with that.
Mr. Plummer: Rose I have no problem with that. It is just the idea
that through the goodness of our heart it is costing us 42.5.
Mr. Daughtery: We've looked for the past 9 months with the lease -
management division of the City and this building only because available
December 5th. Our position is, we just want a place. If the community
will accept us being housed outside the Culmer area, then so be it. But
in terms of finding a place that's within the boundaries that we are
supposed to remain in, this is the only available place we have.
Mrs. Gordon: Who was in that building before, Newell?
Mr. Plummer: Federal strike -force. Right there at the railroad tracks
Rose.
Mr.Daughtery: Used to be a bank building.
Mr. Plummer: Franklin Savings & Loan used to be in there. Mr. Daughtery
I think it would be well in keeping sir, that when you come back two
weeks, that for a comparison you show us that you have tried to find
other facilities and what the cost of those are. In other words you might
come back with a finding that the next avail is 50 thousand dollars. I don't
know. But I think we should know. Something to compare by.
Mr.Daughtery: I'll have Don Stewart who actually did the looking.
Mrs. Gordon: You have air conditioning in there? And they'll supply the
electricity.
Mr. Daughtery: Yes, ma'am.
Mr. Plummer: At 8.50.
Mrs. Gordon: How about maintenance service? Will the provide that?
Mr. Daughtery: That was the primary reason that we went with the 8.50
was maintenance and air conditioning. That building has a lot of glass
and if we were to take upon ourselves to do the maintenance which we feel
that we could, Don Stewart recommended,...
Mrs. Gordon: Is it a real nice building Newell?
Mr. Daughtery: It is a class A building.
Mr. Plummer: Oh, yeah.
Mr.Daughtery: Across the street from the new State office building. And
like I say our options were, we were back against the wall.
Mrs. Gordon: Well you ought to do some public relations on it anyhow in the
area, Father Gibson said.
Mr. Daughtery: Well the comment if I may speak to it, may not be the
appropriate time that Mr. Hutchinson had questioned about it, that he had
not seen the item. He had seen the item in our budget when they approved
our budget, it was inclusive in there, and was just unaware of that
specific item.
Mr. Plummer: Regardless of Mr. Hutchinson, I think its a lot of shekels
I want to tell you.
28
FES 2 6 1:79
Mr. Daughtery: We don't deny that its a lot of money, but our options,..
Mr. Plummer: I'd also like to see some justification that need a structure
that big.
Mr. Plummer: Where are you presently?
Mr. Daughtery: We are presently located at 451 N.W. 5th Street which
is a building of 3,000 sq. ft. that will be torn down really as soon
as we can find some place to go, but they can only wait a certain length
of time.This building we are requesting is a 5,000 sq. ft. and the numbers
of people that will be totally in our program is 87.
Mr. Plummer: Okay. Give us some further justification, that's all I am
saying.

the County Mayor and Manager who agree and concur that the funding should

tax, I would move it.
REv. Gibson: Wait a minute. How are you going to do that now?
Mr. Plummer: Father, that we give the Manager the right to proceed. But
rather than the 25 definitely coming from our enterprise fund, that we give
them the opportunity per the discussion of the other day, to come from the
resort tax.

Mayor Ferre: Okay, who wants to move that? Mrs. Gordon moves.

Mayor Ferre: We're on 59, the creation of the Economic Development Board.
Under discussion, --in other words, Mrs. Gordon moves, Plummer seconds it, --
under discussion, I normally would not vote for a 15-member board because
I think that's too big. But on the other hand we need to have a good cross
section representation of the community. And I hope Mr. Manager, that the
selection process would take into consideration that we both geogrpahic,
ethnic and sex, so that we have male, female and people from all over this
community represented.
Mr. Lacasa: Who appoints?
Mr. Grassie: The City Commission appoints.

to be made by the Commission?

Mayor Ferre: You remember under the thing we adopted, we send to the
Manager, the Manager puts it together and sends back to us. Is that right?
Mrs. Gordon: When will it come up on the agenda so we know how long we have ?
Mr. Grassie: The earliest that we could do it would be the 22nd. You see
it depends on your getting the names back to us, our copying the resumes
and distributing to all of you, so all of you have full information.
Mayor Ferre: I would like very much for your office to contact the Miami -
Dade Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, the Latin
Chamber of Commerce, the Coconut Grove, the Little River Chamber of Commerce,
--all the Chambers of Commerces and I think we ought to get interested parties
and groups. I would like for the input of various groups that are interested
in economic development in this community, to have some input, to recommend
some names, from which, the Latin Builders, the Minority Builders, and all
the different groups that have an interest.
Mrs. Gordon: The Miami Board of Realtors.
Mayor Ferre: Miami Board of Realtors.
Mr. Grassie: We'll try and get that done as quickly as possible.

39. APPOINT JACK ALFONSO TO THE CITY OF MIAMI BUDGET REVIEW
COMMITTEE
Mayor Ferre: There is a vacancy in the Budget Review Committee
of Francisco Olazabal I think was his name, that I had appointed.
I would like to appoint Jack Alfonso to that Committee. Its been moved
and seconded. Further discussion?
Mrs.
Mrs. Gordon: Just on what the Committee is doing. Are they meeting?
Are they into it or not. Just in name only?
Mr. Grassie: They have been meeing with our budget staff Commissioner, yes.
I think that they will become more active of course as we get farther
into the budget cycle. But we are trying to involve there early in the
process rather than late as has been the case in the past.
The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Lacasa , who
moved its adoption:
MOTION NO. 79-149
A MOTION APPOINTING MR. JACK ALFONSO TO THE CITY OF MIAMI
BUDGET REVIEW COMMITTEE
Upon being seconded by Commissioner Plummer , the motion was passed
and adopted by the following vote -
AYES:
Commissioner Rose Gordon
Commissioner Armando Lacasa
Commissioner (Rev.) Theodore Gibson
Vice -Mayor J. L. Plummer, Jr.
Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None.
40. MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSIONS:
(a) LEGISLATIVE MEETING IN TALLA}ASSEE:
(b) CITY OF MIAMI REPRESENTATION AT SUPER BOWL
MEETING IN HAWAII
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor just for your edification and that of the
Commission, --Father I want you to hear this, I was not as a City
Commissioner appointed to the Governor's Tax Reform Committee. I
was chosen by virtue of my position with the Florida League. I would
like all of you to know that any input that you have, we will be meeting
for the first time day after tomorrow, Wednesday, in Tallahassee. So any-
thing you would like in the way of input for that Committee please feel
free to get it to me, likewise, or conversely. Please keep in mind that
anything that is coming down that affects this City, you will have first
notification.
Mayor Ferre: All right. We have one other thing I forgot to cover. You know
the Super Bowl presentation is in a couple of weeks in Hawaii. I am unable
to go because I've been invited by the President to be one of the official
Ambassadors and accompany Vice President Mondale to the inauguration of
the new President of Venezuela and the new President of Brazil. And that
conflicts. I will be leaving on March 10, and won't be back to the 18th.
Now my problem is, --Plummer you can't go. You've always gone in the past.
Mrs.Gordon as I understand, can't go. And that leaves Father Gibson and
Commissioner Lacasa. I've asked Father Gibson if he would represent the
City. If he can't go, then I would like to ask Commissioner Lacasa to go.
I don't know if your schedule will permit it.
Mr. Lacasa: When would that be.
Mr.Plummer: They leave here on the 9th and the earliest I think you can
37
FEE 2 E t97S
return is on the 14th.
Mayor Ferre: I would recommend that one of you go. Let me tell you,
Steve Clark is going, Mayor Lenny Haber of Miami Beach is going, Merritt
Stierheim is going , Jesse Weiss is going. I think it is a very important
meeting and good opportunity to spend some with people that affect our
community. I would recommend that either you,..do we need a motion? J.L.
do we need a motion?
Mr. Plummer: No, sir we passed a previous resolution authorizing the
expenditure. Mr. Mayor, based upon your comments, Father Gibson and
Commissioner Lacasa I invite both of you tomorrow morning at 7:30
as I had agreed with the Mayor I would put the Committee together for
the presentation.
Mayor Ferre: In the morning?
Mr. Plummer: Tomorrow morning at 7:30 at the Melreese Golf Course. We
are having breakfast hopefully to finalize most of the presentation
which will be made on the 13th.
Mayor Ferre: I wouldn't want people to misunderstand, with Steve Clark
and Meritt Stierheim,..there might be a misinterpretation,..this is a
City of Miami facility, and I would hope Mr. Manager that you are going
to be able to go, and certainly one member of the Commission. I would have
gone if it weren't for this conflict which I hope you understand.
Mr. Plummer: Well Mr. Mayor let me just clear up one point because I
discussed this with Mr. Grassie. The NFL has put forth a criteria this
time that there will only be four people in the room for the presentation.
Those four people have been designated by the Committee and I don't think
Mr. Grassie was one of them.
Mayor Ferre: Well, I've got news for you. There ain't no way in which
the City of Miami is going to excluded from having one person in that
room.
Mr. Plummer: No, sir. We will have 3 of the 4 representatives in the room.
Mayor Ferre: I just want to make sure that its understood. I have nothing
against Meritt Stierheim or Leonard Haber or Jesse Weiss. This is a City
of Miami facili;.;. Well who are the people that are going to represent the
City in the room?
Mr. Plummer: In the room at this present time will be Mr. Lew Price, whoever
the elected official is and Jennings, because Mr. Jennings to be present
in case any questions arise about the facility.
Mayor Ferre; I don't mean to be disrespectful to either Lew Price or
Mr. Jennings, but I think it is absolutely ridiculous for the City Manager
to fly all the way to Hawaii and and not to be present at the,...
Mr. Plummer: There was some question of whether Mr.Grassie was going to
go to Hawaii.
Mayor Ferre: Are you going to go or not?
Mr. Grassie: If this City Commission thinks that I should, certainly I
will try and schedule around it.
Mayor Ferre: I don't know Joe. I really don't know that much about what
happens in Hawaii at these Super Bowl meetings, whether they are all cut
and dried before or after. I just don't know. Certainly a member of
this Commission should be there.
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor let me do this just to be on the safe side. The
previous motion spoke to allocation of three. Let me just in case it is
needed, let me make a motion increasing it to four in case Mr. Grassie
decides to go. That would be Mr. Jennings, Mr. Price, the elected official
and Mr. Grassie.
38
FEL 2 C. 1yt;
Mayor Ferre: Who's had experience in making the presentations before,
besides you? Lew Price has never done it? Jennings has never done it?
Mr. Plummer: No, sir.
Inaudible.
Mr. Plummer: For the past 6 years. Jennings is to go to answer any of
the questions in reference to the stadium, Lew Price in reference to
the answering hotels which is all important to these people.
Mayor Ferre: Okay. I understand. Put it on the record. The reason why we
need Jennings is because he is the one who is informed on all items techni-
cally dealing with the stadium. Lew Price is the person who can answer all
the questions dealing with hotels and motel rooms, and facilities available.
Mr. Plummer: Yes, sir, and the man who has been at all times in direct
contact with the N.F.L. about all matters relating to Super Bowl. He has
been the key.
Mayor Ferre: So what we are going to do is we are going o expand this in
case Mr. Grassie can go. So you move. Who wants to second it? Mr. Lacasa
seconds it. Further discussion? Three to four members. Call the roll.
The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Plummer , who
moved its adoption:
and
MOTION NO. 79-150
A MOTION AMENDING M-78-654 MADE AT THE MEETING OF OCTOBER 12,

Commission at this time, the meeting was adjourned
