Verbatim Minutes October 14, 2004
Vice Chairman Allen: -- introduce yourself please?
Mr. Rollason: Yes. Frank Rollason, Executive Director, and we have two items that are on the
regular agenda. The first one is a resolution dealing with extending the 24-hour security on the
Ward Rooming House, and what we've done is proposed a resolution that will allow us to fund it
the balance of the fiscal year. We don't anticipate it going that long, but we'll have that
authority. We're hoping that, shortly after the first of the year, we'll be able to turn the building
over to a contractor, and we will be able to cease the responsibility for the security of the
building, but the first one is to extend the security in an amount not to exceed $88,914 for all of
fiscal year '05.
Board Member Sanchez: So move.
Chairman Winton: Second.
Vice Chairman Allen: Second.
Chairman Winton: What do we do long-term, though, which is part of the next item?
Mr. Rollason: On which one, sir?
Board Member Sanchez: This is just for the security not to exceed $88, 000 and, you know --
Mr. Rollason: Right.
Chairman Winton: On the Ward Rooming House.
Mr. Rollason: On the Ward Rooming House, that's what this is.
Chairman Winton: I know. What do we do long-term?
Mr. Rollason: Long-term is that by December, we should have the plans, engineering --
architectural and engineering plans back from H.J. Ross to then go out to bid --
Chairman Winton: Oh, that's right. OK.
Mr. Rollason: -- to do the rehab piece --
Chairman Winton: I remember. I'm sorry.
Mr. Rollason: -- on there, which we budgeted this year.
Chairman Winton: And you told me that, so --
Board Member Sanchez: We have -- we basically have committed to rebuilding a part of history
in Overtown, you know, and that's basically -- sometimes that's the -- we pay a high price to
preserve history. You know, if it was up to the private sector, most of our historical places would
probably be rubble right now, so this is an investment --
Chairman Winton: Particularly since --
Board Member Sanchez: -- and not only commitment that we've made.
Chairman Winton: Particularly since it went so long. I mean, that's what happens, so I'm --

Board Member Sanchez: So there's a motion --
Chairman Winton: We got a motion and a second.
Board Member Sanchez: There's a motion and a second, Mr. Chairman.
Board Member Gonzalez: I just have one question.
Board Member Sanchez: Yes, sir. Well, I'm not the Chairman.
Board Member Gonzalez: OK. Who's supervising this security contract?
Mr. Rollason: Who supervises it? I have staff-- and that amounts to different people on my staff
going by at different times, days and night, when we're in the area to make sure that there's a
security guard there. We have had a couple of occasions where we have not been able to locate
the security guard, and --
Board Member Gonzalez: Right. That's exactly the reason why I asked you, because I went by
and I didn't see the security guard there, so that's why I asked you, and now you're telling me
that you had the same experience so --
Mr. Rollason: Yes.
Board Member Gonzalez: -- you know, I don't have a problem approving this. I don't have a
problem paying the money to have security, but let's make sure that --
Commissioner Winton: We have security.
Mr. Rollason: No, you're right, and when --
Board Member Gonzalez: -- we're getting our money's worth.
Mr. Rollason: -- we have found that they're not there, we've debited that amount on the contract,
and he has fired a couple of employees and, lately, I have not caught the problem. I usually hit
there about between 5 and 5: 30 in the morning. I usually run by there and they're there at that
time.
Board Member Gonzalez: All right.
Chairman Winton: OK. We have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Being none,
all in favor, "aye.
The Board Members (Collectively): Aye.
Chairman Winton: Like sign, opposed? The motion carries. Number 2.
