before stepping down after 12 years
as a member.
He recalled many unfulfilled

June 2021. DTPW said in a press
note the department would expand
its electric Metrobus fleet toinelude
42 additional buses, fora total of75
electric Proterra buses and 75 Pro -
terra chargers to be installed among
three bus depots.
MiamiToday reported last August
that 136 brand-new rail cars were

to renew the rail system began in
November 2012, when the county

"Motorail should have gone to the airport," Glenn Downing stated.
In October 2019. TPO selected
elevated heavy rail transit as the
locally preferred alternative for the
North Corridor. DTPW initiated a
request for proposals in April 2020.
He also criticized plans for a
monorail in the Beach Corridor.
"We're about to get a monorail that

"The City of Miami seams to be
having trouble spending all of its
money. yet the Brickell Loop [of
the Metrumover] is not complete,"
Mr. Downing said. "Why? In what
world is this acceptable to leave this
incomplete? Why wasn't it ever
finished?And they have the money
to do it"
Mr. Downing suggested modify-
ing the half penny legislation, as
about 20!. of the surtax funds go to
transit in municipalities, and small
cities such as Virginia Gardens. for
example. don't have anything to
spend the money on.
"That whole legislation needs
to get rethought, but then if it gets
rethought you've got the tatancxr that
it'll all get undone and the county
will undo this met and take the
funds back. and that's something I
want to warn you about because the
county thinks this halfpenny surtax
is its money and it is not" he said.
-These are met funds."
He complained of a lack of lead-
ership in the enunty. Mr. Downing
recalled the leadership of former

"They all come into office saying

The people voted for it and 20 years
later it's still not done. Just makes
me shake my head"
Finally, he told his fellow trustees
that they should get the nomencla-
ture of their role right and move
meetings back to afternoon - the
meetings have been held from 5-8
p.m Mr. Downing also said the
county should separate as different
departments transit from public
works and the county commission
create an indepenckntl masit agency.
"Whatever we can do to move
this lethargic county forward and
fidfill the prtmtises tom 20 years
ago, let's do it" he said. "There's
collected wisdom here; I hope I've
left you with a little bit of mine. '
Doral cutting
down alcohol
serving hours
BY ABRAHAM CJALYAN
Doral restaurants and nightlife
establishments are soon to adhere
to revised alcoholic beverage
regulations -with a 2 am. alcohol
sales cutoff.
During last week's city council
zoning meeting, officials moved
forward with an updated alcoholic
beverage regulation changing sales
closing time from 3:50 am. to 2
a.m. for all adult entertainment
businesses, such as bars. restaurants
and nightlife venues.
"We've modified the hours,
which really isn't that significant
where we've moved everything to
two o'clock in the morning." said
CityAttomeyLuis Figueredoofthe
ordinance. which was Iastmodified
in 2016. "Now, those businesses
can get an extended hours pennit
to allow them to go to 3:30 a.m."
There will be criteria that now
have to be satisfied to get the
extended hours permit. such as a
security plan and code compliance
policies that must now be approved
by the Police Department and city
staff Mr. Luis Figucredo said.
"If you have a certain amount of
violations, and let's say in a 30-day
period, you will have that license
suspended. the thinking being that
is wewantto encouragecompl iance
and wewanttominim zevandalism
and 911 calls between 2 and 4 in
the morning," he said. Those viola-
tions might include light and noise
from music or patrons that might
disturb surrounding properties and
neighborhoods. he said.
Once the city council has ap-
proved the initial extended hours
application, theannual renewalmay
beapproved admini stratively by the
city manager. The permit must be
renewed annually by Oet. 1.
Discussions to update Doral's
alcohol beverage regulations and
hour sales were brought up to the
city council after Miami Beach
residents in a November 2021
non -binding referendum approved
halting hours for alcohol sales in
the city at 2 a.m., with a 56.52%
approval by voters.
"I want to thank staff, because a
lotofworkhas beendonewiththis in
a very short period of time, which is
something that's very important for
our community," said Donal Mayor
Juan Carlos Bermudez.

Another big
thing for Galvin is
the city s lease of
the Wildcat Cen-
ter- Galvin has led
the charge for the
city to acquire the
38.000-square-foot,
three-story build-
ing, complete with
gym, weight room,
basketball courts,
lockers, offices and
an auditorium.
As of January, that
was a done deaL
Galvin says the
parks and recreation
department is aim-
ing to move in by
March 1, that home-
owners'groups can
start meeting there
any time and that
the center should be
in full operation by
summer.
Here,too, Tate
plays a critical role.
Tate Capital
bought the Wildcat
Center for $10.7 mil-
lion around the first
of the year, more
than double the $4.5
million Property
Management Group
paid last July, when
Johnson & Wales
University complet-
ed its sale of its 25-
acre main campus
to PMG for just un-
der $60 million. Lat-
er in July, IMC Eq-
uity Group paid $21
million for the uni-
versity's shuttered
golf management
center, an adjoining
student apartment
building, and a sur-
face parking lot and
vacant lot. Before
that, an IMC affil-
iate bought three
apartment buildings
on Emerald Drive.
Wildcat was the
last PMG property
to sell and in Janu-
aryeate immediate-
ly leased it back to
the city for roughly
$1 million a year at
9% developer -fi-
nanced interest,
with an option to
purchase it for $11
million after three
years, after the city
failed to get conven-
tional financing at
a lower rate. With
taxes, maintenance
costs and staff, the
center will likely
cost North Miami
$2 million a year - a
drag on a city that
recently posted a
deficit of $5 million
and has no usable
reserves,
THE PROPOSED
SOLUTION
To pay for the cen-
ter. the city had to

get creative. On Jan.
11, the council ap-
proved selling the
1974-vintage Gwen
Margolis Center at
1590 NE 123rd St. to
Oldtown Capital, a
Chicago -based mul-
tifamily develop-
er, for $3.1 million.
In addition, Galvin
worked to redeploy
$2 million pledged
from Sold Mia's de-
velopers for a com-
munity center to
help fund the Wild-
cat
Oldtown Capital
is also involved with
local investor -de-
veloper Sebastien
Scemla with the
384-unit Eleven55
NOMi project at 1155
NE 126th St. just east
of downtown North
Miami. Scemla ex-
pects 1155 to break
ground in the sec-
ond quarter of 2022.
The Margolis and
Sold Mia deals to-
gether would give
the city $5.1 million
in the bank to apply
toward the center's
purchase.
"I want to make
sure this place is op-
erational and func-
tional and a gem to
the city," said Gal-
vin of the Wildcat.
"The council seems
committed to do-
ing this right. We
are a month out of
the agreement and
we have $5 million

e. We

month ago."
Tate also is confi-
dent the city could
buy the center back
in three years.
One possible ace
up the sleeve in the
deal is that North
Miami could sell
Tate the land his
group is leasing.
The city over the
last few years has
bought back leased
land from Sold Mia
and One Fifty One at
Biscayne generally
using the proceeds
to reverse books.
While the Wildcat
and Margolis moves
have supporters, op-
ponents are growing
more vocal.
Former District
Councilwoman Car-
ol Keys, herself a
real estate lawyer.
says the move was
poorly timed and
ill-conceived. with
no parking provi-
sions andinsuffi-
cient and outdat-
ed appraisals. She
called the Wildcat,
Allure and Margolis
transactions "sweet-
heart deals."
In the first two,
councilmembers
solicited Tate. The
Margolis deal was
an unsolicited bid.
The last apprais-
al, for $2.9 million,
was a year ago, and
the real estate mar-
ket has appreciated
dramatically since
then. Rents alone is
Miami are up 38%,
the highest gains na-
tionwide.
"That should have
brought in $6 mil-
lion in today's mar-
ket. The major prob-
lem with our city
over the many years
is that the city man-
ager is not respon-
sible to the citizens
but to the whims
of the council. She
should have been
arguing against the
sale and against
the Wildcat Center.
We're seeing unde-
veloped lots being
sold for way more.
If you're financial-
ly stretched you
shouldn't be doing
this. It's like a drunk
selling his car to buy
half -priced liquor in
a bar," said William
Welsh, real estate
investor and former
District 2 candidate.

iMite 50.1 FOR ME
To help pay for the Wildcat Center, North Miami's City Council voted t0 sell
the 1974-vintage Gwen Margolis Center for $3.1 million to multifamily home
developer Olmown Capital,
1,001 me.
Tate Capital's planned 20.story Allure project at 1820 NE 146th St., de-
signed by Kobi Karp, will be the Center of a new destination district in an
area currently deemed as industrial.
On the
coun-
cil, only District 2
Councilwoman Kas-
andra Timothe has
consistently voted
no, fearing eventual
onsequences that
could manifest in
2023 and 2024.
Advocating for
the Margolis sale is
lawyer, political op-
erative and former
North Miami Mayor
Andre Pierre, who
represents Oldtown
Capital and a grow-
ing list of other de-
velopments in the
area as a lobbyist.
"North Miami i
popping all over," he
said. "This is a good
deal for the city."
