The meeting was called to order at 9:10 O'Clock A.M. by Mayor Maurice A. Perre with the following members of the commission found to be present; ALSO PRESENT: Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner Rose Gordon Commissioner J. L. Plummer, Jr. ViceMayor Theodore R. Gibson Mayor Maurice A. Terre Joseph R. Grassie, City Manager R. L. Fosmoen, Assistant City Manager George F. Knox, City Attorney Ralph G. Ongie, City Clerk Matty Hirai, Assistant City Clerk An invocation was delivered by Reverend Gibson who then led those present in a pledge of allegiance to the flag. A motion to waive the reading of the minutes was introduced and seconded and was passed unanimously. REPORT BY THE ADMINISTRATION AND INDIVIDUAL COMMISSIONERS ON FUNCTIONS OF VARIOUS BOARDS AND COMMITTEES, Mayor Ferre: We are now on Item A Committee of the Whole, the administration's report on Boards and Committees. Mr. Grassie? Mr. Grimm: Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission at the last meeting you requested the administration to contact each of the chairpersons to find out their feelings about the committees that were listed. As you can see from our report, out of the 23, only 3 should remain active. The rest should be abolished. Mayor Ferre:On the Tri-Cultural program, on that grant, as I recall, the steps on that was from the Tri-Cultural grant,'it went into an internal thing within the police department. Has that been phased out now? Mr. Grassie: What was your question, Mayor? Mayor Ferre: We got a grant from LEAA for upward mobility and the whole process and after the money was spent and the program was over with, it was decided by the police department to set up a new committee similar to tri-cultural but that would report directly to the police chiefs My question is, does that exist today, or has that been disbanded? Mr, Grassie;l have the impression that the police department has done something on that but you know that we are not, because of budget constraints, hiring people So 1 really_ cannot answer the question as to whether or not it is very active right now, Mayor Ferre; The second question I had was, that Virginia Key Land use advisory board,. w Mr,_plummer,--'---that was something you had shown interest in, and as 1 recall, the Virginia Key Land Use Advisory Board, do you remember? It is being recommended that be abolished and 1 just want to make sure that everybody was aware. Since 1 think we haven't come anywhere near the potential of doing the things in Virginia Key that you have been talking about for a long time,--.--.! Mrs, Gordon: Mr, Mayor may t ask you a question regarding the matter you just Mentioned. 1 received a letter of communication which we forwarded through to Mt► 'Crassie's office, but he may not be aware of it yet because it was this week. tt relates to the hurtling of trash on Virginia they, and the hardship it is causing the people who are in line of the smoke as the wind blows it to the north. tti some cases, and particular the lady that wtote the letter, it is causing an asthmatic condition in one of the members of her family. t don't know why trash is being burned, if that is an accidental fire or why trash is being hauled there, but I wish you would address yourself to that. 1 think it is a very important problem. Mayor Ferret Mr. Grassie, as soon as we are finished discussing this advisory board then we can get into that subject. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor as far as the Virginia Key Advisory Board, I have no objections to this committee being dismissed. It is inactive. Mayor Ferre: This is something you are interested in. Mr. Plummer: Let me put this in the record. At a later date I would want to see that committee more active, --be re-established and be more active. Mrs, Gordon: Mr. Plummer, would you consider not moving that abolishment at this time, since this unique problem has just arisen. We may want to activate it right now. Mr. Plummer: Rose it is not a committee problem as far as the burning is concerned. It is an administrative problem and a fire problem I don't see it as a committee that is going to go over there with any big brushes and hoses to put it out. Mrs. Gordon: I consider it not a committee's problem, but I consider the committee an investigating group of citizens interested in, ------I would like to see that committee retained and enlarged and perhaps strengthened, because there are problems there. There are problems there, there are uses we haven't put that land to, and I think that to abolish it now and reactivate it at some future time would have no particular value. Mr. Plummer: To no knowledge, in 7 years the committee has never met. Mrs. Gordon: I never knew there was such a committee until I got this list of names. Mr. Plummer: That is one of the reasons to get rid of it. Mayor Ferree Are there any other committees here that anybody wants to question, of the 15 that are being recommended to be abolished, other than Virginia Key land use. You know we have an Orange Bowl Advisory committee, because it was just reappointed. Mr. Grimm: That will be a different one Mr. Mayor which we will bring back to you to formalize, with a specific term. Mayor Ferre: My next question is this. We are still not through with the rezoning study of downtown Miami. As you recall, we had gotten some different committees, One of them was a consumers, one was the landowners and builders, and one was the architects and the other one was the special government people. I see you want to retain two, and you want to dismiss the other two. That may be inconsistent because it seems to me, these different boards lend different attitutes or different viewpoints of that problem, If we are going to keep one, we may as well keep all of them, If we are going to disband them, let's disband them all.. The fact that Ted foll.o happens to be vociferous in one, and the fact that Mona Lighte happens to be vociferous on the :other commmittee doesn't mean that, we shouid,smr,wand the fact that the head of the 4,1,4. three years ago, Norman Diller says they have done their task, ,Norman tiller is no longer the head of the We have a new president. What I am saying is i think that all these committees Should be kept until we finalize these things, hopefully, we will be doing that very SOPA PPW. i very atsatt ttoa. Mt, piuttt ert May I speak an that? The hoping and Wrestling Board, we have not had active boxing in the City of Mimi in many, Many years, We have had wrestling on a couple of occasions. Mist I would rather do is go along the litres of a Zero budgeting and just abolish the committees, then if there is tteed for it, let'srecreate, or restructure the committees, We wi11 at least get some interest out of theft and have some kind of regular Meeting, That is the way I feel about it Mr, Grassie: If I could Mr, Mayor, basically in support of what GoMMissioner ?iummner is saying, you know we are taking a different approach to defining cant= tnittees for you, and one of the things that we want to do is, include in the resolution, trot only a more precise statement of purpose but also a reporting period and a termination period for these committees so they don't simply hang on, when the committees themselves feel they are no longer performing a function, Basically what you have here is a reflection of the fact that the committees them- selves do not feel they are performing a function, simply because their job has been done, We want to get away from this perpetual life for things that don't have a function. So you can create committees when you decide there is a function and we will give theta a specific term for their activities. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Mayor I feel very concerned_ about our downtown and our downtown study which is now 4 years old. It was completed in 1973. It's incredible that we have taken so long to bring this to a head, to put this into place. 1 think at the rate we are moving with the downtown plan, we will need a new plan before we put that one in place. Mayor Ferret I agree. Mrs. Gordon: It doesn't seem possible to me that we could have spent $90,000. that we spent on that particular study,and put it on the shelf for one reason or another, we seem to be delaying moving it ahead. I ask you Mr. Grassie whether the Planning Board has heard the particular ordinances that are needed to implement that plan. Do you know. Is Mr, Fosmoen here? Mr. Grassie: Mr. Fosmoen is here and he will amplify. But as you know, the city is right now in the process of having all of the zoning ordinances of the city completely revised. Maybe we will get a schedule on that. Mrs. Gordon: I want an address to the downtown plan which was funded separately and apart from the entire comprehensive plan of the City of Miami which was funded through revenue sharing funds. That $90,000. as I recall, in fact was of such urgent nature at the time, that the downtown development authority if I recall correctly,(correct me if I am wrong Mr. Mayor), advanced the money to get that project going. It seems to me at the rate we are moving, they should have kept their money and forgot about it. It has been a total waste. The downtown plan has many zoning classifications that are unique to downtown. Mr. Fosmoen will you address yourself to those ordinances, please. Mr. Fosmoen: Commissioner, as you know the Planning Advisory Board has been very busy for the last 12 months preparing the Miami comprehensive neighborhood plan, I have been in the planning office less than 3 months. Roy Kinsey is the new director of the Downtown Development authority, We met with our staffs Monday, and one of the issues in our meeting was, how do we get that downtown plan implemented, particularly certain portions of the zoning ordinance, which seem to be achievable in the short run. I understand from reviewing some of the past history on that subject, that there was considerable controversy over a number of sections, of that zoning ordinance, and considerable work on the part of the planning department was requested before it be brought back for further consideration. Issues like floor area ratio, and what are other communities doing, what has been the impact on attempting to _reduce the level of development that is now permitted then attach a series of bonuses, Bear and Bartley are looking at downtown and a set of special regulations for downtown, Aspheir revision of the overall zoning ordinance, iire expect within the next several month to get back into the question of downtown zoning, But with the press of the comprehensive plan, and a number of other things that have been going on, new people, including a new director for the Downtown Development Authority, we need to get ourselves going in the same direction, Mrs, Gordon; It appears to me, that the people who were ;paid the fee, the 3 MAR i619// MOM. if 1 retail the exact amount of it, ought to be the people with whom you are consulting. The Downtown Development Authority didn't do the study. They funded it , but they didn't do the study. I understand your concern, in satisfying everybody, but you are not' and you know it. there are certain interests that don't want to give up anything for the antenities that we have to create in that atee. t think we have to not say two br three months from now we will get around to it, but get part of it at least to the Planning hoard in the next month at least and then back to us for changes. Furtherore in the area north of 6th street, Mr. Posmoen as you know, and we west of 2nd Avenue, you have a classification of zoning called C-4. There is no way you can really get any developments to start, private or governmental, of any real consequence. t Mean you can get governmental buildings but you can't get any private housing to come in there under that elassi- f ieation. You ate trying to bring people back to live downtown, you are going to have to trove in that area particularly, at least as the first target. 1 don't think you will have any controversy very Much there. Will there be any attempt to do that? Mr. Grassie: In the short run, no, Commissioner, there will not be an attempt to do that. Mrs. Gordon: Okay, that is the answer. Thank you. Mayor Ferre: I happen to think, Mr. Grassie, that we really have to get oft with this thing. It has been three and one-half years since these people started. Four years. We appointed committees, they were citizens' committees. They came back with reports. The reports were given to Dr. Wallace. Dr. Wallace never responded to them. The reason was that we were waiting for Mr. Acton to do this and that. Finally Mr. Acton did send them to Dr. Wallace. Dr. Wallace said things had changed so much in the past two years it had to be revised, and that was going to cost additional money. We went the whole process. I realize this was your predecessor, but time is running. The fact is that is an important project and we did pay a lot of money and it is controversial but I think we have to get on with this thing, with a public hearing, that the Planning and Zoning Boards have to get on with it and eventually before the commission. I think it is a very important subject and I think we are way, way overdue. I think it is time to bring this whole thing to head. If it must be in the next 2 or 3 months, fine. As quickly as possible. Does anybody dis- agree with that? Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, nobody can disagree with that. It is like motherhood. Let me tell you something. I have contended and 1 am merely making it for the record. All you are addressing in that particular plan is the cosmetic effect of downtown. It is not the major problem. Mayor Ferre: That is correct. But it is a problem, and it is an important one. Mr. Grassie: It doesn't really do any good to respond on the specific question you are raising. One of the things we are concluding, after a few months of analyzing the city's current problems, is that we can create more problems in one session of the City Commission than the staff can solve for you in two or three months . Mrs. Gordon: You had better elaborate on that one, Mr. Grassier Yes, and I am going to, One of the things we have to do with you, and I"hope that we can agree that we will do this fairly soon, is that we will sit down and review with you what current activities of the city are, and what our priorities ought to be. We simply cannot be working on everything at once and expect to have any success. You know that we have got dozens of unfunded unplanned, half -completed projects hanging around our necks and we are not moving towards accomplishing them.And every time we pick up some new idea, and a_ new project. and don't accomplish what we have already committed ourselves three years ago to do, to that extent, we are simply perpetuating the problem, WE have only been in this session about 15 minutes and we have already heard a suggestion that we should establish a citizens committee to investigate what obviously is not purposeful burning, but is an accidental buring which nobody could get under control for 3 days out at the landfill, And that sort of activity is the sort of thing that dissipates our ability to address some of the real problems, I can't emphasize with you enough that we have to get focused on sane of the soluticne, We cannot keep spreading ourselves and pretending we are going to solve ever'ythisg at once. We are not Ping to, 4 Mrs. Gordon: Mr. ttessie yew are resenting the fact that we call tel your attention the fact that citizens are complaining about the trash that is being thrown Oh Virginia key which ultimately turned into the fire? Mayor'Fertet Rose, I will recognize you0,4,4.Q==abut Mrs Grassie,s ' we will come back to this, We are oft item A, Board and Committees, Let's get this one over with, then we will come back and discuss the toning, if you wish. The downtown and the Virginia key situation, to the meantime to bring it to a head, let see if, take a motion. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor t take a motion that we accept the City Manager's recotttmendation as proffered. Mayor: Ferret I would like to request that you atnend,- Mr. Plumper: I have a motion. 'Let's see if it get a second. Then you can amend it. Mayor Ferre: Is there a second? Mrs. Gordon: Repeat the motion. Mayor Ferret That the Manager's recommendation as you have before be accepted as submitted. Mayor Ferre: There is a second. Under discussion, I would like to respectfully request and point out that the Orange Bowl Advisory Committee was just reinstituted on Monday, so that be one exception. No. 2, I think the downtown committees should be kept intact. By that I mean the architectural and the governmental. Now, remember the purpose of that governmental thing was to get some of these people like Reg Walters and other entities in government, involved in the process in Miami and I think it should be kept that way. Mr. Plummer: Are you speaking of the downtown government center board? Mayor Ferre: Yes, sir. I am speaking of those 3 specific items. Mr. Plummer: I only heard two, Orange Bowland Downtown ' What is the 3rd one? Mayor Ferre: You are right. There are two committees that are being wiped out. If you want to consider them one, that is all right with me. Mr. Plummer: I have no objections to the amendment as long as there are stipulation if they don't meet within a 6 months period of time, that they be abolished. Mr. Grassier Just one word of clarification. On the firs point you made, the Orange Bowl Advisory committee, it was our intent to bring back to you, a description of what you intend, as to purpose, time, new member, and that would really be a new committee, for Orange Bowl purposes. Mayor Ferre; I don't care how you define it. Mr. Grassie;----to make it easier for you to control what happens to your committee. Mayor Ferre; It is all right with me. Mrs, Gordon: Aid you also intent it to go asked each of us to particularly,----,. into those committees that you Mayor Ferre: Yes, after we finish this,Ca1l the roll...

GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE Upon being seconded by Commissioner Gibson, the motion was passed and adopted by the following vote: AYES: Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner J. L. Plummer, Jr. Commissioner Rose Gordon Vice -Mayor Theodore Gibson Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. Mayor Ferre: I had requested the Commission and the Mayor to take on five of these committees and review them personally, and come back to the commission with recommendations. Have you been able to do that? Any of you? Mrs. Gordon; The Urban Review Board is a viable board, operating. As you know it was created when the Brickeil area zoning was changed several years ago. It has a purpose. It analyzes development and recommends bonuses. Mayor Ferre: Who is the chairman of that board Mrs. Gordon? Mrs, Gordon; I am rot acquainted with the Chairman at this time or the composition of who is serving on it, The most important thing is whether or not the committee is viable, and it is, Mayor Ferre; Did you discuss this with the chairman and the members of the' committee? Was there any discussion at all? Mrs, Gordon; i just investigated the work of the committee and the kind of things that they are doing and the reason for its being a board, There is a reason for it being a board. The structure and the committee membership is not the fact that l was instructed to investigate, only the viability of the board; IW second Qne was the environmental preservation board whieh aiap hoe a reason for its existence. its duties are similar to but not the 44E4 as the urban review board. It is concerned primarily with the review of applications for iuildis MAR 3 61917 particularly in those totted areas which are earthhed the etivironfettal preaerva.= tiott done, such as the areas where the tidge is on Bayshore Shrive and down on Brickell. There are certain areas, that have been, because they are hammook lands, delineated as envitottniental preservation areas. The Mouth Advisory Board serves a very wotthwhile purpose itt the community for many reasons. It is actively #ttvoived itt spetifie activities. It represents the City of Miami Weil, artd there is a treed for educating youth into the mechanics of government and this board does a good job, and it should retain active. The othet two veto the Library board, -.----'that is a rather confusing board, since it consists of Metro and Miami membership. The chairman is Mrs. 'Brsoff who lives in Coconut Grove. However the Miami appointments we have made, and We made 3 in September of 1975, have not really been included in the Board membership. I am still looking into that, and I will have a further report on it at a future time. I don't have a recommendation to abolish our participation in it because we ate not going to abolish the Board itself. It is really a county board. The parking lot review board, which is the 5th one. It consists of 5 members, 3 of them are city staff and it needs to be revamped because the membership on it is inactive, unavailable or no longer on the scene. However one of the members is Herbert tee Simon, who said that he felt, and if you recall, ---- (inaudible): Mrs. Gordon: -----(the parking lot review board, I left the Library Board for a future recommendation. Herbert Lee Simon is willing to continue serving. He feels it is a worthwhile board, the parking lot review board, because it deals with the ordinance that pertains to lighting of parking lots and whether or not there should be an variances so to speak granted from the requirements and he thinks we ought to reconstitute it and he would be willing to serve, but not as chairman. For the time being at least, look into it and see if we can get the people who do the job, who are willing to serve. It does require staff people as well as a couple of citizens. Mayor Ferre: I understand that your recommendation is that all 5 of these boards,-- be retained? Mrs. Gordon: At the present time, 3 are definitely to remain active and viable. Two are questionable, and that is the parking lot review board and Library Board, and I will have a recommendation later on if you want another one. For the time being, I would say leave them. Mayor Ferre: The recommendation from Mrs. Gordon is that the Urabn Review Board be kept, that the environmental preservation board be kept, that the Youth Advisory Board be kept and the Library Board and the Parking Lot Review Board be studied further. Perhaps we can pass that on to the Manager, and have staff look into that further. Mr. Plummer: Since Mr. Reboso was overactive, I have been reduced to 4. He took the budget committee report. My report is very simple. No. 6 is the Bicentennial Committee of Coconut Grove. Needless to say, that work is over, and completed, and should be abolished. No. 7, the Advisory Committee for the handicapped, to the best of my knowledge is active. We have many projects In the City, and I think it should remain. The baseball stadium committee is headed up as you know, by your appointment, Bernardo Benes, and I don't know or not, if that is his report today, but there is a report by Bernardo Benes on the agenda today. I do know they have been meeting, and I assume they will continue until their report is forthcoming. Without question, No. 9, the Boxing Steering Committee. the Golden Gloves starts this evening. running for 4 nights. It is a very active committee headed up by Chairman Manolo Reboso and I don't think I would hint that should be abolished, i think that is one of the most active boards that there is, and of course it addresses itself to the problems of youth. No, 10 my good friend Reboso took away from me, I will let him report on that, But that is my committee report, that No, 6 be abolished, 7,8, and 9 be retained, W. Reboso; No, 10, the Mayor's Budget Study Committee is active, Martin Fine is chairman of that board, No, 11 is the Childcare committee, is active, It is permanent, They get together on a monthly basis, Almost all members are professionals and deal with child care. According to Pe/ores Rory, who was contacted by my office, she is completely satisfied with the committee achievements and progress, No, 12 is the ,city pager's :CQm:aittee for pension emolument§ for r€tir€ea, MAR 71 The City Manager is actually the chairperson) made one tee otntttendation and is fit* inactive, Lupe 'Elliman is the assistant to the City Manger,,..that gill be up to the Manager to decide if this board should continue or trot. Mrs, Cordon: Which one was that Manolo? Mr. Reboso: That is No, 12, Mayor Verret City Manager's committee for pension et,oluments for retirees, Mr, Reboso: No. 13 is the conceptual transportation plan itnp1einentatiotl. The only person that appears to know something is Lester Preeman. We called him and he did not return the call. This was established in 1975, a motion of intent to appoint Lucius Williams, Lester Freeman and P,W. Andrews as a committee on conceptual transportation plan implementation. Lester Treenail appears to be the only one who knows, so 1 don't have any recommendation. Mayor Terre: 1 would recommend since that really is a staff -type of thing, that that be abolished, because that is something you ought to be doing anyway. You are doing it anyway and the thrust of all of that is in Metro. Mr. Reboso: No. 14, the Cultural Arts Advisory Board is very active. In 1976 they held between 10 and 12 meetings. In 1977 they have had aready 4 meetings and they are very active. The Committee is 3 years old, Cultural Arts Advisory Board. The Chairman is Mrs. Nora Swan. Ken Triester is on the Board, George Khuly, is on the Board, and Albert Pallot. No. 15 is the Day Care for the Elderly. According to Delores Kory,also a member of this committee, they have not met this year. This was an ad hoc committee, and now is not functioning. It was established, based on the concept for the day-care elderly, Alvarez, the other member of the Board was contacted, said he had never been called of contacted in a year and a half. Mrs. Gordon: I would like to tell you, as a point of clarification that the business of that particular committee was to create the entity that we now have in place and have had for several years. The entity is working well, and the duties of the committee I think terminated when the program went into place. You don't really need the committee anymore. It is a well functioning program . Mayor Ferre: So abolish the committee. Mrs. Gordon: If we need a committee later on,we can form one. Mr. Reboso: I received a call from Martin Fine saying that budget study committee, it was an ad hoc committee. If we want to abolish we can go ahead, because, Mayor Ferre: I personally think we ought to have citizen participation in over looking our budget. I think it is a healthy approach and I don't think it does any harm. Mr. Reboso: Then my recommendation as I said before is to keep that committee. Mayor Ferre:All right, Father Gibson? Rev. Gibson; I have not had an opportunity to, -.------(inaudible) . Mayor Ferre: All right. The 6 that I have, I will defer until the next meeting. I have opinions, obviously, but I frankly don't think that that is sufficient. I would want to meet with the Chairman and discuss exactly what projects they would have in the future. Rather than just submit my opinion, I will come back with that at the next meeting. I guess the question that was left unsolved, was the process of zoning in the downtown area, that came up for discussion. The rest of these committees we will take up together as a whole package, when we have our next meeting, MAR 161977 BRIEF rascussioN ITEM: LIMING PLAN FOR DOWNTOWN MIAMli MAyot Vette; Mr. Gtassie, the way i think it Was left, was, thAt YOU were going to respond, CoMitissioner Gordon fitade a statement, and you responded then 1 Made a statement, afid then it came up again, i recognize your point, that we have too many hails up it the air. There is to way we cat possibly field then All. I think this is something that has been pending for 4 years, and I feel it is time to bring it to a head. Mr. Grassier As Conrn issioner Plummer said, I guess everyone would agree with that Mayor. The only question is, how do we do that in an organized, thoughtful way? What the staff is indicating to you, is that because of the lack of agreement, in terms of the community and possibly also the City Comirtissiot, with regard to the result of that study. The only serious and organized way of addressing that, is to complete the major analysis of your zoning laws that is in process right now. That is a process, It has a termination date and seems reasonable to have that as a background before you address the old report. Mayor Ferret' don't agree with that and I just want to explain to you why. The downtown area is a' unique area which has been addressed professionally by a group of people that are professionals in the country that have been paid. In addition to that, because there were some serious misgivings in this community's part. This thing has been taken to the D.D.A. to the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, and we appointed four committees. These committees and the Chamber of Commerce has reacted, in writing, with specific recommendations. Those are submitted to the staff. Mr. Acton took them in, and there was some discussion on those. They were never given to Dr. Wallace. About a year ago when Dr. Wallace was here on something, the subject was broached. He said, well, I have not been asked to react. At that point this commission said look, we had citizen participation on this. I think we ought to have some kind of reaction from staff, at that point. As I under- stood it, that was going to happen. It hasn't happened yet. You said what is the logical way of approaching this? I would approach it this way. We have a new ad- ministration. You have new people. You have a new individual in charge of this, in the person of Mr. Dick Fosmoen. It seems to me, Mr. Fosmoen should react, staff wise, to all the input from the citizens, NO 1 No. 2, Dr.Wallace should be asked to come back and react to the citizen's input after Fosmoen's recommendation. No. 3, it ought to start the process of public hearings through the zoning and Planning Boards.That, frankly, was what I thought was going on. If it isn't going on, I want to say that I am absolutely amazed, and it seems to me, that that is exactly what the mandate from this commission was, previously and I think it ought to be kept. If it takes two weeks, six weeks,- eight weeks, or ten weeks, or ten months, that is the process I think this commission has gone on record mandating that it be done. Mrs. Gordon: -I agree with you Mr. Mayor. That is the understanding and some parts are more controversial than others. The part I address myself to, is non -controversial. It is a necessary change, so if we are going to encourage private development we have to be able to make it legal. They can't develop the way it is now. We have to move ahead on that. There is no question about it. Take that first if you have to. That is the area that goes from 6th Street, north to the expressway, and 2nd Avenue west, It is C-4. You can't build a housing development on a C-4 because the ordinances don't permit it. Mayor Ferre; The point is, we have to move along on this. This isn't a new project, Joe. This is something we have been in the midst of for 4 years, and we don't seem to be able. -- Mrs, Mrs, Gordon; --we lived with it 6 years before that on the zoning, Mr. Grassie; l just want us all to understand the same thing, so we are talking about similar activities, Maybe Dick Fosmoen should comment to you in terms of what is underway right now, and if you have some reaction to that, we ought to talk about that, Certainly, at a staff level, we completely agree with your position, that existing legislation is inadequate and needs to be revised, There is no question about that. It is just a question of how we get that done, Mr, Fosmoen; As additional information, there were a whole series of proposals back and forth between the pianning office and Dr. Wallace's office en another con- tract, to do some more studying for downtown, to try and look again at the zoning ordinance that originally been proposed. l can't in good conscience recommend that 9 MAR 1 977 course of action to you, t can't tecottthend going back with the sate COnsuitattt who ptepated the tlitst set of tecotr,efdatiotts that were unacceptable. Mrs. Gordon: Unacceptable to whom? Mt. Fosmoen: To a nutnbet of people, because the ordinance did not, — Mrs. Gordon: We never had a public how acceptable, We never took a vote on apparently to the City Commission hearing Mr, Fosthoen, and we don't know it. I disagree with you. Mr, Vosmoen: There were committees appointed. There are a number of problems with that ordinance in toto as it was proposed.We are looking at sections, at the downtown ordinance, at a staff level. We will be making some recommendations for change. I think it is important that we get a handle on what is necessary to have something happen downtown in terms of the new zoning ordinance. I would also comment that a new ordiance is not going to make development happen. A new zoning ordinance is not going to make development happen. Mrs. Gordon: Nothing is going to make it happen. I agree with you on that score but on the other hand, if you don't have that new zoning, you can't have anything happen. You are prohibited. Mr. Fosmoen: Commissioner, that plan for downtown has been sitting around for fully two years. Developers are aware of what the plan proposes. No one has come forth to date requesting a re -zoning. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Fosmoen, no one is going to come forth and ask for a little rezoning in the middle of a slum. If you don't get the change on that whole area, then you have got a piece -meal, --certainly you are a planner. You know you don't do it that way. You can't do it that way. Mr. Fosmoen: I understand that. But I am also saying that the ordinance change will not make development happen. Mrs. Gordon: It will trigger it though. Mr. Fosmoen: I guess I would have to disagree that it will trigger development. Mrs. Gordon: That is okay with me. You can disagree, but I believe out of many years of experience, not only in planning, but in real estate, that I have a little background to speak from. And I disagree. You can't do it because the zoning doesn't permit it. You can't expect a single developer to come in and say, in the middle of this slum area, and I don't know if the rest of it will be any good, ever, I want to have an oasis. That is not going to happen. Mayor Ferre: I think we are all missing the main point. The main point is, that this commission has taken a position on procedure, therefore until this com- mission changes, you are under the obligation of the mandate of the policy set by this board. And the policy set by this Board is, and I recall, you go back and research it,--1. that staff react to the citizens participation, come up with specific recommendations on changes, 2. if necessary, go back to Dr. Wallace and get his reactions to these recommended staff changes, 3. start the process through the hearings, to the Boards, 4. bring it to the City Commission for final public hearing and vote. I am not saying everybody is in agreement, You know for example that I feel very strongly about certain things like setbacks on Flagler Street, and floor area ratios, and some of these other things that Col, Mitchell. Wolfson has talked about, Mona Light has some things, etc. The point is this. There is no way we are going to make any progress on this by ------I feel pretty certain that there is nobody on this commission that wants to kill this project, The intention here is to get it down to where it is reasonable. The question is, how do we go about doing that, and what priority does it have, I happen to feel it has a high priority, NO, 1, No, 2, l also happen to feel that it has nothing to do with the whole rezoning of Miami, that is stands on its own, and No. 3 I happen to think that this is something we should be moving forward on, No, 4, that you are under mandate, The policy has been set, 10 Mr. Grassier I ean't speak fof that happened in the last two years of course. I just asked Mt, l'oemoen and tells me he is in the process that you Outlined Ih terms of that staff review. Mt. 1`osmoent What you have outlined Mt. Mayor presents no problem. tt la simply a Matter of timing in my opinion: To have those people that you ate asking to make a recommendations, understand what happened in the past, and what needs to happen in the future. Mayor Verret l understand. And I think it is not only a question of timing it is also a question of priority. I think all that I atn saying, and I am pretty sure we all agree, is that this does have a priority mark on it. I know you can't oo everything , but this is one we have been dealing with for 4 years. It seems to me that it is a priority item. Okay. Any further discussion on this? If not, we will take up item $, which is Dinner key. PROPOSED FLOATING RESTAURANT AT DINNER KEYS Mr. Grassie: This is a result of a private initiative coming to the City, Mr. Mayor. The rniegtinii is, whether or not ' ou "ant this iten to go out for public proposals. It is a question of whether or not there should be some kind of floating restaurant in the Dinner Key area. Would you like Mr. Fosmoen to expand on that? The question is whether or not the City Commission wants us to go out for proposals. Mayor Ferret Let's review what the past has been on this so we can what the future can be. We went out and had a study trade, and that study was submitted to this commission. It must be at least 5 or 6 years old. I remember being on the commission when it was submitted. It must have been it 1970. So it is 7 years old. That was called the master plan for Dinner Key. That Master Plan for Dinner Key, ----we had a public hearing. Steve Clark was Mayor. It was voted on and accepted. The next thing that happened was,the big to-do about the fixing of this auditorium. That we had a public hearing on and that passed. It was contrary to the Master Plan, but as we went over that, the Master Plan in its implementation had to be taken step, at time. The second thing that came up out of this whole thing, as I recall has been the on -going problem of the rates we charge for boat dockage. Out of that, came the intention of this Commission as expressed by the majority last time around, that we were going to consider within the next 6 months, going out for a public bid, to the private sector and finding out whether there any interest on the private sector, No.l, to take over what we have, No. 2, to expand, the marine facilities. That includes the out -lying islands and what -have -you. I don't think there was any implementation on what would be put there. If somebody wants to put a floating restaurant, fine. That is something that the commission has to consider as one of the many alternatives. There are members of the public in this community who have shown an interest in coming in and making a bid, and bidding for the marina facilities at Dinner Key. I think -the policy of this commission has already been established. I think you ought to pursue that and bring it up for a discussion and a vote, and then let's see what happens. Mr. Grassie: I am not sure Mayor whether you are suggesting that this be incorporated with the bidding for all of Dinner Key, or are you asking that this be voted on separately. Mayor Ferre: My personal opinion is that I don't think you can have an restrictions at this point as to what can or cannot happen. To do that, in my opinion is to cut down the variety of things that could happen at Dinner Key. I think it should be a wide open type of a situation where there are private groups that want to come in and bid for one or a portion, whatever it happens to be, that they come in. I think this needs to be evaluated by staff and you come back with recommendations at that point as to specifically what should be done, You may not want a restaurant there, because it might be a private group,'They may want to put three piers there, On the other hand, maybe the place for a restaurant might be off one of those island, l don't know, Mr. Fosmoen: Are you suggesting Mr, Mayor that we should not act on this individual request but rather come back to you and incorporate this into the total bidding package for Pinner Key, Mayor Pette. That is exactly what t said► What I am saying is this. You have a master plat, N6, i, No, 2, you got soft Money being spent to improve hinder -key, and No. 3 you have a neW rate schedule for boats, which we said that itt 6 months might be changed. And No. 4, you have interested parties that want to develop the Marine facility in this community. So all I at simply saying is, I think you ought to cote back with specific recomaetdations after you have talked, put this out for advertising, and let's get some bids in. At that point we will have a public hearing and decide what to do. Mr. Grassier Good. We certainly agree with that. Rev, Gibson! Mr, Mayor, let me ask a question. I may not be clear. Does this mean, -----I would hope that whatever we are going to do about a floating restaurant or either one that does not float, that we would be talking also with the people who are presently doing business. I want to inake sure the staff under- stands me. I would hate for you to put a man out of business who is already there. I know the Mayor and I agree that the more the merrier. But at least there is such a thing as common courtesy and horse sense. Mr. Grassier Yes, we agree entirely, Commissioner. That is why, rather than accepting a proposal from a person, what we ate suggesting is this be put out for proposals from anybody including current operators. Mayor ferret That is the point. Please speak up if you disagree, What we are saying here, we are not fixing our minds up on anything at this point. I think we are open for all suggestions and all recommendations. I am not saying in anyway that I am for taking these piers and going to the private sector. All I am saying, I would like to hear proposals. Mr. Plummer: Maurice, should then a motion be forthcoming today to give the Manager the authorization to propose to solicit proposals for such an operation. Let him start now. I don't see anything wrong with soliciting the proposals. Mayor Ferre: Fine. Mr. Plummer: I will offer such a motion. It has to be at a public hearing. It has to be a presentation before the commission, and I see not reason to put that latitute of the Manager off. Let him start now. Mayor Ferre: The motion simply is to permit the Manager to pursue this matter further and come back to the commission with recommendations. Mrs. Gordon:Mr. Mayor may I ask you if you would ask the Manager, formally to bring forth to us the information as to the master plan for Coconut Grove, as we have approved it, and became a policy of this commission, and how we have deviated from it, and how we need to amend it, if necessary, so that, to incorporate the changes we have already gotten. Then have an input from the Coconut Grove area. WE are piece-mealing that plan to death. I am not saying I am opposed to it, the proposition before us, but I don't like the way we are doing it. I think we ought to stay with a comprehensive proposal. At least try to anyway. We can't stay with what we had, we have already changed it. Mayor Ferre; I think we have a divergent position as I hear it, I think the point is simply this. Plummer's motion was that the Manager be instructed to develop the possibilities of the private sector's involvement in the Dinner Key area, specifically the boating area. Rose has brought up the subject of the Master Plan for Coconut Grove, I was talking about the Master Plan for Dinner Key, Mrs, Gordon;I am talking about Dinner Key, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferre; Okay. They are two things. If you are talking about the Master Plan for Dinner Key, then obviously this all is part and parcel of it, Obviously we need to have a public hearing before we would go any further, but the question is what are we going to have a public hearing about? Until you have specific proposals from specific individuals, to do specific things, For example, if there is an individual in this community who night not want to touch the existing piers, but night have an idea,he or she, would be willing to raise 3 million dollars to put up four piers, over op the south side, that might be entirely acceptable, 40 the other hand, that person would not be willing 0 come up with that money, and we would conclude that somebody is willing to 1� MAR 161971 spend a half Million dollars ih a floating restaurant, 80 it seems to tile, that those things don't do any violence to the Mastet plan as such, tt is a question of whether or not We want to get on with the job of developing the binner Key Area as a major- boating area. In my opinion, the answer is yes, in fy opinion the way to do that is the procedure that has been outlined here, Mrs, Gordon: I want to say this befote the second conies on, We just granted a patty a 30 year lease to construct a restaurant, how much tan this area support by way of restaurants? Out revenue from that lease it termed upon the successful operation of that particular restaurant. tet's do it in a businesslike way. Let's first get that Master Plan back to us, Let's first examine what we have, and how it fits in with that plan, That Plan is automatically amended. Let's see where we are and where we have to go, before we start advertising for bidding or whatever. It just doesn't seem right, There was not second to that motion, I will move you, that Mayor Ferret Mrs. Gordon, I will run the meeting, and let these interruptions cote forth because it is in an informal way. You know there is going to be a second to it. It is just a question at what point. So I ask again. Plummer made a motion. Mr. Reboso: I second the motion. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor let me speak in behalf of the motion. The motion here today makes no decision. It merely allows in my estimation and my intent, that the Manager can let it be known to the public that we would like to have some people come forth and give us some ideas, some proposals. Then the Commission can say, no we don't like any of them, yes, we do, no, we don't. But at least, if it is an idea, we have not idea today, what kind of revenue it can generate, whether it is a good thing, or a bad thing. All we are asking for in this motion, ---it is a motion to give the Manager the right to say to the people, we are interested. If somebody wants to come forth with a proposal, then we can sit down and analyze it. It is in no way definite. Mayor Ferre. Plummer, you have been to California. You have seen Long Beach, and some of you have been in San Francisco, and you have been to places where there are not one, but there may be in a space smaller than Dinner Key, --there may be 100 restaurants. Mr. Plummer:Mr. Mayor when you sent me last year to San Diego, Mr. Bads and I intentionally got off the plane in Los Angeles and rented a car and we stopped at every marina installation between Los Angeles, starting with Marina Del Rey, if people are not aware, is a horseshoe which have 33 restaurants, and we went all the way down the coast stopping and looking at every installation including San Diego. Mayor Ferre: Perhaps I may be wrong, and my vision of this is differently, but I think the Dinner Key area is one of the major, beautiful attractions, not Miami, but, that Florida has. For us not to, in an orderly fashion, in a business -like manner pursue this and develop this, I think is long overdue. We have hesitated much too long, it is the typical timidity of the City of Miami, it is the typical negativism, let's not do this until we do that, never get's anything done around here. It seems to me that it is time to move ahead. It is long overdue and this is what I have been saying for a long time and I hope the commission concurred with it. Let's get moving on this. Is there further discussion? Mrs. Gordon: Timidity, Mr. Mayor? Mayor Ferre; Timidity, yes. Timidity, Mrs. Gordon: What is our timidity downtown coming from? Mayor Ferre; Any other comments, or thoughts? Call the roll, Mrs, Gordon; I am voting no on the motion simply because, until you have a plan for the whole area, and the conform to that particular plan, what you are doing is spasmodic and unbusiness=li.ke, I vote 'no,' Mr, Plummer; by vote has to be yea, but let me speak to the comment of Mrs,Gordon. Unfortunately in my estimation, and this is not going to set well with the Mayor or aly ;fellow commissioners, that plan received a total bomb when the Pinner Key Auditorium was redone, We have gone from that plan and deviated with Monty Trainer, we deviated with Spencer, and these are other deviations which sets a precedent now. If we are going to go and we are going to try to develop this �3 MAR 161977 area, then let's go ahead and develop it, and I agree with that concept. As far as the plats is concerned, it was just bombed. 8o 1 vote 'yes.' Mayor Perre: In voting I would like to say, these plans that are drawn up are a series of ideas put together by architects or planners. They ate not chiseled in store for eternity. I think what they are, is general guidelines of what needs to be done. As individuals come up with specific recommendations that ate in my opinion progressive and fit within the general scope of the idea that needs to be done, I think we have to adapt, because that is the only way urban areas, including Dinner Key, are living organisms. They are full of people, and they have specific purposes and roles to fulfill. It seems to tne, that the hinter Key area's goal to fulfill is boating activity and it should be a major tourist attraction for this community. We ought to have the water taxi, we ought to have communications by water and marina developments and literally dozens of restaurants, and this is something that is certainly not new as far as my expression is concerned. I have been saying it for the last 3 and one-half years. We have made some progress hopefully, with Grove Key Marina. 1'iopefully we will make some progress with Monty Trainer. We have gotten some federal funding for the refurbishing of this whole area. I am totally committed to making this a major community attraction for both the people who live in Miami and for the people who visit it, It is essential that we do this. I very strongly vote 'yes' on this. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Manager, would you please furnish me and the other members of the commission if they wish to have it, the dollars that have been spent for studies in the Dinner Key area. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor let me make a final comment if I may about the Dinner Key study. Mr. Grassier Yes, Mrs. Gordon, I will furnish it in memorandum form. Mayor Ferre: How many years to you want to go back? Mrs. Gordon: When the Dinner Key plan was done, there was a specific amount of money allocated for it, and you can go back to whatever date and time that was. I don't recall the date. Whatever it was. Mr. Plummer: That is exactly what I wanted to speak to Mr. Mayor. Unfortunately the people who did the study of Dinner Key Master Plan, we not practical. They were not realistic, in my estimation. Mayor Ferre: It happens a lot of times, Mr. Plummer: The problem is this. We had, and they knew, that we had approximately 4 to 41 million dollars which could be used for the upgrading of Dinner Key. Little did anyone know, to acquire the property in Kennedy Park, that that 41 million dollars would dissipate down to little or nothing through that bond issue. Knowing all of that, people who did the study, still came back back in with a plan that showed 12 million dollars. Mr. Mayor it is the same thing that has happened. What was that great Greek from downtown,Dr. Doxiadis. It is great, if you can find 300 million dollars, fantastic plan, but it is not workable. These people were not practical in my estimation. When they came in with a plan that entails 12 million dollars, knowing at best all. we had was 4 million, and part of that had been used to acquire property. So 1 am just making that, it was not a practical plan, Mrs, Gordon; Okay. When you furnished the cost of the plan, were you also furnished the figures that were in it, that showed the 12 million dollars Mr. Plummer says it did, so we all can be aware of the figures that are thrown on the table, as being accurate. Mr, Plummer; Also show where they said in that plan that this building wasn't worth a damn, and should be torn down, this building we are in, is unsafe. Mayor Ferre; Let's move forward, not move back. Aispite the negative forego around here, we have to continue feeling that we have to move forward, 1 The following motion was introduced by Cat►mtissiotter Piuitmter, who Moved its edaptioti: MOTION NO, 77=209 A MOTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ADVERTISE AND SOLICIT PROPOSALS FOR LEASING BAY BOTTOM PROPERTY AT DINNER KEY FOR PLACEMENT OF A FLOATING RESTAURANT AND TO BRING BACK TO THE CITY COMMISSION HIS RECOM,. MENDATIONS AT A FUTURE DATE Upon being seconded by Commissioner Reboso, the motion was passed and adopted by the following vote: AYES:Mr. Reboso, Rev, Gibson, Mr. Plummer, arid Mayor Ferre. NOES: Mrs. Gordon ABSENT: None. 41 MICROFILMING OF Mayor Ferre: Mr. Grassie: PUBLIC DOCUMENTSi Let's go on to Item C, microfilming public documents. This is the item requested by Commissioner Gordon. Mrs. Gordon: This is in response to information that I requested in 1976 I believe, or 75. It was quite some time ago. I am concerned, to summarize the reason for my bringitg this back to you again. The situation that the City of Miami would be in, if in fact there were any kind of major fire in this building. I believe we are walking on dangerous grounds when we have no storage area that we could consider fireproof, or we could consider, to be more specific, remove from this building, and reduce to some microfilim method of storage. It was August 6, 1975, that this was a memorandum that we discussed. Since then, in 1977, we have not yet made provisions for the safeguarding of our records. The cost in- volved is of a rather minor nature,. as I understand it. Mr. Grassie, correct me if I am wrong, but are we talking of something in the neighborhood of 25 thousand 0r 20 thousand dollars, to do this. Mr. Grassie: That is the City Clerk's estimate. That is correct commissioner. Mrs. Gordon: If we are speaking of a sum of that amount, I think we are negligent in not implementing it immediately. If you can tell me that we do not need it, that you feel quite secure, without having that protection, Mr. Grassie, then say so. But personally I don't feel that way. I feel that with some of the things that have taken place in the community at large in the past year or two, which happened, which we don't know when they happened, or if they happened, but. those things happened. And if it happened here, it would be a total disaster. Mr. Grassie: I would be more comfortable if we had the records protected. I would suggest to you, that like a lot of problems we have here, it gets down to money. What happened was, that amoung the priorities of the City Clerk, apparently this was not one of them, that he felt he had to have funded at the time he proposed his budget. You know we have gone through a very difficult budget process. Everybody had to make reductions. His share of the city's budget, ----there has not been money for this this.That was a decision he had to take. Mrs, Gordon: I accept your placing the onus on the records department, or the Clerk's department, but 1 don't consider it that. I consider this a capital investment and not part of an operating budget, This is something for the protection of the City's records and not necessarily a part of the Clerk's budget, I believe that if this city is in the position financially to afford additional study as you recommended in today's agenda of $15,000. for a particular study, and if in fact we have the kind of money that is going to be requested us later in the day to help fund some magazine, which may or may not pass, of $3,000, and if we have $25000. which we budget to programs such as, (and I am not criticizing the program) just saying if we have it, $25,000, for a Sister City program, which brings up some good will from South America, we need to find $20,000, to safeguard this city's records. And you could find it if you wish, in your contingency fund or any of the other little squirreled -away places that the -ti;,ty has,. -=-been able to come up with money whenever the City wants to. I move you, that you find this, And put this into piaee Mayor Vette: There is a motion on the floor. Is there a second? Mt. Plummer: Mr. Mayor I will not second the motion until Mr. Grassie tells me that he can secure the money. If he can tell me he can secure the funding, t think it is a very important project, and a necessary project. Mayor Ferret Would you also repeat your recommendation Mt. Grassie? Mr► Grassie: It really wasn't a recommendation, Mr► Mayor. It was a comment, an observation, Basically what Commissioner Gordon is working with, I gather, is a letter from the Clerk in which he says we have a problem, and I believe we all understand that. The question is, what is a reasonable thing to do about it. Simply saying go out and find the money isn't very reasonable. If we are going to talk about from what source you want to take it, that is a discussion that might lead to a solution, M. Plummer: Let' see if Mrs. Gordon gets a second, If she doesn't, I will make a motion. Mrs. Gordon: The motion is that you, Mr. Grassie, secure our public records, you find a way, and a means to do that. Mr. Plummer: I second that motion. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Gordon who moved its adoption: MOTION NO. 77-210 A MOTION DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO FIND A MEANS AND A WAY TO SECURE FOR SAFEKEEPING THE OFFICIAL RECORDS OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI AND TO COME BACK TO THE CITY COMMISSION WITH HIS RECOMMENDATION WITHIN TWO MONTHS FROM THIS DATE Upon being seconded by Commissioner Plummer, the motion was passed and adopted by the following vote: AYES: Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner J. L. Plummer, Jr. Commissioner Rose Gordon Vice -Mayor Theodore Gibson Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. Mrs. Gordon: I want to inform the Manager my personal feelings, and I don't mean two years from now. This is in the next month or two. 5-A UNITED WAY LUNCHEON -TO BE HELD TODAY: Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor I_ have been asked by the press for a natter of clarification, --I'll ask Mr. Grassie, because I am unaware, the luncheon at noon with the United Way, would you announce what that luncheon is., Mr. Grassie: About two months ago, the City Commission asked that we invite the United Fund to appear before this City Conanission simply to give you a review of their program, to explain what they were doing, I believe, was the way it was phrased. I think their entire program, you were concerned about, In asking them to do this, they suggested that because of the graphics and the visual material that they had available at Otter headquarters, that it might be more useful if you could go there and in trying to arrange this, at some time 1t would be convenient for you, they suggest that you have lunch there, So it is your meeting, as it were, and your suggestion, and it is at lunch simply to try and conserve your time, Mr, Plummer: Let's got down to the bottom question, Is the public invited? TO the meeting? Not the lunch. Mayor Ferre;Of course it is i.nviVed, .as iQ as you have five u►e ere of is MAR I 6 1977 of the o niss iofi g zs cmcacc�aem Mr. Grassier Mayor Ferte: the Commission. I can't speak for the United Fufid itt serving lunch, but Obviously it is an open tieeting, if you have five members Of Mr. nutter! I heard somewhere a little while back, Mt. Mayor that necessarily the case. I at putting it on top of the table. . BRIE RT: PRECEPTS AND GOALS or CITY EMPLOYEES RETION SYSTEM. Mayor Ferrel Take up Item D, Mr. Vince Grimm. wasnrt Mr. Grimm: Mr. Mayor and members of the Coimnission, as a member of the System Board, the Board asked that I present this to you, so you in case you had any questions as to what our intentions were, I could answer them. Basically, there are two thrusts behind the development of goals. One is that the Board I feel, once a conservative approach to the money managers investtnents, and secondly the Board wants a uniform application of the money manager's responsibilities. AS it stands right now,we have three different managers, one restricted to fixed income, and the other two to equity. These goals would dividethose responsibilities, uniformly amongst all three. This has been something as I said earlier, has taken a year to develop. It has been discussed fully with the money managers, and what you see in front of you has their approval. Now, it requires your approval, simply because the agreements we now have, have to be redrawn. Mr. Plummer: How time changes things. I remember sitting here through 51 hours of presentations, and other members of this commission,when we went through new money managers. The bid complaint was, they don't have enough latitude. They need more freedom. They need to be totally 100% turned free. Look what has happened in three years. Now we want to become more conservative, now we want to go through all the process again. I have no objection to conservatism , none. Mr. Grimm: I would like to point out, Mr. Plummer, you know you were chairman of our Board for 5 years, so you know better than anyone else what our philosophies were. Mr. Plummer: That is right. Mr. Grimm: But in the three years that this system has been split, we have managed to increase our assets from 35 million to 58 million. Mrs.Gordon: I am acquainted with it as you are J.L. and I see this as a step forward. I don't see this as a diminishing responsibility for the money managers. I"see this as giving them more flexibility and possibly enhancing our portfolio and our assets by giving them this latitude. So I move to accept Mr. Grimm's recommendation. Mayor Ferre:----to accept the recommendation of Mr. Grimm, Item D, is there a second? Mr. Plummer: I just have one big hang-up Mr. Mayor. 1 would have to have that hang-up cleared before I could second the motion, Mrs, Gordon; What is your hang-up J.L.? Mr, Plummer; Well, you made a motion Rose. . Mrs. Gordon; If I know your hang-up, I can amend the motion. Mr, Plummer; Rose, people want to forget, that in 1939 this fund went broke, It happened. I can't forget things like that. My hang-up is this, If you take the entire 100% of that fund, and things go under, you have lost everything. 1 as an individual think, if i,cant have a cake, for Cod's sakes, give me a piece of bread. I would personally want to see, (and 1 am not trying to be so smart that 1 would set the percentage) but 1 would want to see a certain portion of this retained In fixed income. 17 MAR 161977 in tilted income. Mt. Griffith: It is, Commissioner, Mt. Plummet: Not the way I read it Vince. the way I read it, you are going to give total Mr. Gri:M: No, Commissioner, read No. 3 under the goals, if you will. It definitely limits the total amount of investment and equities to 60%. Mr. Plummer: What you are going to do of each portfolit fixed? Mr. Crimm: Numerically now you have basically the same thing. Your fused income is 40% and the two equity tno:tagers each have 30, you have exactly the same numerical balance. Mr. Plummer: What is the fixed income in the 40%? Mr, Grimm: Bonds or cash? Mrs. Gordon:.3.L., there is no deviation other than, ---let's see if I can clarifyit. I know what you are thinking. You are think they are going to go entirely into stocks, and maybe take a drop.That is not true. 97%? now. Mr. Plummer: We found two of the money managers we at one time, what, Vince, Mr. Grimm: That is exactly what we are trying to curb. We have that right Mrs. Gordon: Yes, but that is because you had those money managers specifically only in equity. Mr. Grimm: Exactly. Mrs. Gordon: . Now, what you are saying, is that the 3 of them will have proportionate shares, 60/40. Mr. Grimm: And we will then comparing the results of the money managers. Mrs. Gordon: You can monitor their performance. Mr. Plummer: I'll second the motion. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Gordon who moved its adoption: MOTION NO. 77-211 A MOTION ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CITY MANAGER IN CONNECTION WITH THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE MIAMI CITY EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM GOALS REGARDING INVESTMENT PROCESS, AS OUTLINED IN MR. MAZIN'S MEMORANDUM DATED MARCH 1, 1977, WHICH MEMORANDUM WAS MADE A PART OF THE OFFICIAL RECORDS OF THE MEETING Upon being seconded by Commissioner Plummer, the motion was passed and adopted by the following vote; AYES; Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner J, L, Plumper, Commissioner Rose Gordon Vice -Mayor Theodore Gibson NOES; None. Mayor Maurice A. Ferro ��i -54.40-7: 6. PROPOSED LEASES WITH MONTY TRAINOR AND DISCUS ION OF ACQUISITION OP ADJACENT PROPERT1ESI Mr, Grassier Mt, Vostoet will discuss the results of this negotiations oh the Monty Trainer lease, Mr. Vostoent At your last meeting Comissidhets you requested this item be placed on this agenda, We have been negotiating with Mr. Trainer's represettative,--..--/ have been negotiating since approximately December 1976, Mu might recall that the commission requested sone time ago, bids for the use of the so-called Kelly ptoperty, the boat shed, located immediately north of the Trainer restaurant. And there were a series of public hearings, held and Mr. Ttaitet made a proposal that he would develop a restaurant shopping center complex at the boat shed. In addition, if the cottission were interested, that the so-called 4Miley' property be acquired through condemnation by the City Commission, theft entering into a lease with Mr, Trainer for a period of approximately 30 years, for the continued use of that, but it would place in the City*s hands property that connects the Kelly property, which we had acquired through condemnation, with the property where the boat ramp is located, on boxing gym site. That proposal was accepted by the city cOMMission and the staff was directed to negotiate with Mr, Trainer and his representatives to attempt to achieve that proposal, again, a shopping center, marina development for public enjoyment at the boat shed and the acquisition of the Miley property. We have been working for some time on trying to iron out that proposal. We had prepared two leases for your consideration. At about the time those leases were to come to you, a circuit court judge ruled in another case that was relating to Kelly property, that the City Should not, could not, ---enter into the proposed lease with Mr. Trainer for the boat shed property. I would defer to the attorney for the specifics of that really, but in essence the circuit court judge was saying that the proposed shopping center development was not within the spirit and intent of the parks for people bond issue, for the funds we had used to acquire that property. Generally the two leases that we had negotiated, contained some similar provisions. Both leases are for a period of 30 years. There was an easement provided in the leases, if at some point in the future, a tram or waterborne transportation system came into being, that Mr. Trainer would create a shopping center complex on both properties, that he would be required to build at his cost necessary parking to meet the zoning ordinance provisions, either on his property or property to be desiganted by the City and he would be required to make substantial investments in the renovation of those two properties. Let me go specifically, or directly to the proposed lease on the Miley property. The original proposal from Mr. Trainer was for the City to acquire that property at a cost of $950,000. plus attorney's fees of $60,000. to pay down $475,000. and to pay off the cost of the property over a period of 5 or 6 years, equal annual installments with 81g interest to Mr. Miley. Mr. Trainor indicated that he thought he would have sufficient revenues generated from the property to meet, from the two properties, --to meet those annual installment payments. I would have to point out to the commission that we are now precluded from entering into the lease for the Kelly property. Mr. Trainor still indicates that if necessary, the revenues from the Miley property are not sufficient to pay those annual installments. He will advance funds sufficient to pay those installments. The original proposal was for a lease of a minimum annual rent of approximately $61,000. In the lease before you, the minimum annual rent would be for approximately $87,000. That $67,000. represents the cost of amortizing the purchase of the property over a period of 30 years, at approximately 5% interest. In addition, if there is a provision in the lease for a percentage of gross, if it exceeds $87,000, would be 8% of the gross on the first 1 million, and 10% on the gross on anything over a million. WE have also indicated that if in the future the property becomes subject to ad valorem taxes, that the amount of taxes attributable to other governmental agencies, would be deducted from gross receipts before our percentage is figured, and the taxes that would be attributable to the city, would be deducted from the additional rent due. Not from the basic minimum, but from the additional rent due, if there is additiomal rent due, Further, we feel there is a real parking problem and testing the proposed uses against the zoning ordinance, it is not possible, in our opinion to provide adequate off-street parking en either the Miley property or the Kelly property. We have provisions in the tease that would require W. Trainer to provide parking pp si.tes to ke designated by the City. Our propose,/ would be, (it ie not incorporated in the tease) but our proposal would be to designate sites on the boxing gym property 19 MAR 181977 attd also within kfittedy Patk, for additional off.stteet parking. The boning gymgyttlashall 1 answer that one? Mr. Plutnnert It was always mu understanding under the federal grant for the boring gym, that that was to be open space and to retain Open space and only could be used for recreation. Is somebody doing a 180 oh us? Mr. tostnoen: Part of the recreation development on that site, Commissioner would have to include some provision for parking, The parking Mr. Trainer would build would be open to public use. It could not be walled -off, or screenedoff or available for his exclusive use. It would be public parking. Mr. Grassie: Just a general comment to your general comment, Commissioner, this is in the nature of your collective project. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Grassie, let's put it right on top of the record, I can remember, and Monty well remembers, in fortner administration where big barricading walls were built there because he was violating the federal grant of using that space which could not be used for parking. Monty well remembers of the walls that were placed there and the big boulder that were placed there, and the wreckers that towed off cars. tt was always said to this commission, one thing, that is federal money, it was a grant and you could not use it for parking. Mr. Fosmoen: Commissioner it is used for parking today. Mr. Plummer: ---as an accessory to the City project for recreation. I have no objection to it. I am amazed at 180° turn. Mrs. Gordon: J.L. I think the difference might be that the property referred to as the Miley property would become city property. That is your key difference, when Mr. Andrews took exception to the parking, it was to permit private enterprise to utilize now. Now it is not the same baligame. Mr. Plummer: Rose you are overlooking one thing.I would agree with you, (God forbid) if the City was operating the restaurant, but the City is not operating the restaurant, --a private person. I have no objection. Let's don't kid ourselves. You go down there any night right now, and who is using the parking lot? Monty Trainer. Fine. He gets the cars off the street. I have no objection to that. I am stating for the record, for so many years, I was told as a commissioner, you could not use it. The barricades were placed. The boulders were placed. Barbed wire was even used one time so the people couldn't walk through. Mrs. Gordon: That I think was relat Miley property. fact that we didn't own the Mr. Plummer: That is how far it went. Am I wrong Monty? Mr. Monty Trainer; Correct. Mrs. Gordon: That is all correct. Everything you said is right. But Mr. Knox, you are our attorney, will you look into this? We certainly aren't going to do anything if it is illegal, but if it is legal, then it seems not out of line, because it is already being used for parking. Mr. Knox: We will check Mrs, Gordon. Mr. Fosmoen; Commissioners, let me speak for a moment to the Kelly property. Although we are precluded at this point from entering into a lease through a circuit court decision, I think it is worth reviewing with you the lease. There is a resolution of intent, if that opinion can be overruled, this is before you today. The original proposal. from Mr. Trainer, envisioned a minimumrent of approximately $64,000. Again, 87 of the company's gross up to 1 million or l07. in addition, when we began looking at what that really meant, we didn't think it was adequate for the City. The arrangement that is being made with Mr, Trainer through that lease is different than other leases that we have entered into. Because in this case Mr, Trainer would be operating essentially as a shopping center operator, ,So we would be one step removed from those people who were generating the revenue. In other words, we would be getting 8X of some percentage of a series of companies' profits, or gross reciepts, Instead we recommended and incorporated in the lease, 10%. of the company's gross net profit,,; PinillInM for operating that facility as a shopper center, 0 MAR 161977 and a sliding scale 10% of gross net profit up to $0Ob,000. 15% of gross net from 2t0 to 400 thousand and V0% of gross net oveir 400 thousand. That is in addition to a basic minimum tent of $86.144. Mt. Plummert That is the Kelly property. Mt. tosmoettt That is right. That is not 'ot', that is in addition to A basic minimum rent. Mrs. Gordon Are we able to to do that? 1 thought that was tied up In court yet. Are you speaking tel what could happen sometime in the future? Mr. Fosmoen: That is correct. Mrs. Cord p:+kay. Mr. Fosmoe'. think there are two point that the commission needs to consider in examining this lease, and Mr. Trainer and his representative Mr. Brigham, are here. First is, we are prevented from entering into the lease on the Kelly property. The proposal originally for Mr. Trainer was a package proposal involving both properties, and the advances for the city, if necessary, for the City to cover, the annual installments on the purchase of the Miley property, will be coming from revenue generated by both properties. We cannot do that today. We can only enter into a friendly condemnation and a lease to Mr. Trainer on the Miley property only. Perhaps we can enter into a resolution of intent, to proceed with the Kelley property lease if the circuit court decision is overruled. Mayor Ferre: Where is the appeal on that? Mr. Fosmoen: I understand it was filed last week. Mayor Ferre: Does the appeal go back to the same judge, or does it go to the appellate court? Mr. Knox: The appeal is e 3rd District Court of Appeals. Mayor Ferre: Has the judge been assigned yet? Mr. Fosmoen;I also must point out to the commission , that we are talking about $475,000. down, plus attorney's fees on the Miley property. There are essentially two sources that we have to provide that. That is out of the capital improvements fund and $475,000. will do a good job on that fund. The second source is FPL franchise that has been pledged to the convention center. Mr. Grassie: Could I repeat Mr. Mayor the three questions that are really in front of you? One, when you initially agreed to this, you saw it as a two - properties -proposition that appears to be impossible for us to do in the short run, Two, to go ahead with these leases means that you have to come up with $535,000. cash right now. Three, to make them effective, we are going to have to authorize parking, and we talked about some of the problems, either around the boxing gym, probably in Kennedy Park also, Those three things are key elements. Mayor Ferre; What is your recommendation? Mr. Crassie; My recommendation has to be in this sense, Mr. Mayor. The original staff recommendation before I got here was, for a different proposal, The City Commission agreed to consider the current proposal and directed the staff to work to make that possible, We have in good faith negotiated with Mr, Trainer and present to you the best, in our estimation, the lease package which can be got from that proposal. If you ask the what my recommendation is, with regard to the leases that are in front of you, I have to say that I do not recommend that the City enter into it. Mrs, Cordon; Clarify that, Do you mean the dual-leases,or the single lease, Mr, Cr'assis; Either one Comm ool.oner, 21 MAR I61971 Mt Plummer: tan l ask a point? Maybe I should ask of Mr. Kinox, Mt. Rno , the terminology has been used by Mt. Poison and by Mt. Otassie here today. We ate not prohibited from the use of the kelly property except as to the proposal before us. is that correct? Mr. 'Knox: That is correct, Mt, Plummer: 1 will remind the two of you, that you tight not have head the record, 1 was opposed to that proposal for the Keay property because 1 didn't feel that it fit into the character. There was once a than who said we have only so much waterfront and I thought it should be used tore for boating activity. As 1 understand the lawsuit, the outcome of the lawsuit, it doesn't prevent this commission, nor Monty Trainer from going back and soliciting new proposals or sore other type of activity which I hope would be boat related activities. Arm I correct? Mr. Knox:Correct. Mr. Plummer: Okay, fine. One other question. bid I understand you correct that if the City puts up the half -million dollars or the 475,-- Mr. Posmoen:-----plus $60,000. for attorney's fees. Mr. Plummer: Let's call it a half --million dollars. This lease would require the City immediately come up with a half --million dollars. Did I understand you to say, that that would amortized over 5 to 7 years? Mr. Posmoen: No, sir. The basic minimum rent would amortize, the total cost 1 million, 10 thousand dollars, over 30 years. Mr. Plummer: The next question. It was in the proposal of Mr. Trainer before this commission, the day he was awarded, that he would spend in excess of a million dollars in improvements. Is that tied down in the lease? I know it pertained to both properties. Mr. Fosmoen: The lease says it is expected that 750 thousand dollars will be spent on the Kelly property and it is expected that 75 thousand dollars will be spent on the Miley property. Mr. Plummer: Is that tied down in the lease? Mr. Fosmoen: The language in the lease, in my opinion, Conmtissioner, does not tie it down. It says it is expected that those costs would reach 150,------ Mr. Plummer: I am opposed to that, but I am further opposed to it, because I want it specifically stated in the lease what improvements are going to be made. I think it is only reasonable that it should be, that we should know, is be going to build a new marina, or re -do the building. Mr. Fosmoen: Commissioner, one other point. WE do make reference to the proposal in the leases. We say that the lessee is expected to make, or will wake those improvements, that were incorporated into his proposal. Mr, Brigham's point through our negotiations, was , if you can get it for less, --does it make sense to tie it to a million, or million and a half dollars? Mr, Plummer; I would say this, and I am speaking for one. That that was there proffering, not ours, that they would make those improvements. I think that it was further stipulated at that time, that those improvements had to be made within one year, I could be incorrect on that. It might have been two years, I am sure the record would reveal that it isn't going to be that we will make those improvements in the 5th year, or when we get around to it. It was stiuplated, and I want to know is that in the contract now because i can't find it, Mr, Fosmoen; Again I go hank to saying that the proposal is referenced in the lease and the rent becomes due at the end of la months, or when 75% of the (this is on the Kelly property) space is occupied, go there is a lead time of 18 months before the rent on the Kelly property would become due, However during that period the lease provides for iiwoine to the City that may generate from the docks and ina►r i nas . oa• Mt, Plumter: Meadamoen, does the itate tall fot the imprtvemmag tt be made ih one year? Mr, Posffloent The lease itself does not. Mr, Plummer: Thank you, Mt. Toby trighat: Mr. Mayor and Commissioners) I would like to make about a 6 minute presentation and then answer any specific answers you may have. 1 would like to believe that the recommendations of the city manger is more related to the availability of funds than it is to the fact that these leases are not favorable to the public and to the City. He didn't clarify that, but we have been working for 9 months, meeting all their terms and conditions of the City Manager's office, and thought Ve had reached satisfactory leases. But he can clarify that later. For more than a decade the City of Miami has had the vision to complete the public ownership of the bayfront from Coconut Grove to tockermat canal, so that Biscayne Bay and its shore would become a community asset, available for the use and enjoyment of all the citizens of Miami. More than a year ago Monty Trainer came up with a unique plan that would allow the City to have opportunity, perhaps which would not be otherwise available to acquire one of the last privately owned properties which prevented the City's dream of continuous public ownership of the bayfront. But more than that, Monty Trainer won your approval of an exciting and dynamic concept that would take the bayfront available to every man, tothe enjoyment of every man, whether he owned a boat or not. However, the projetiriMs a marina. The project was marine oriented. But it had more exciting featuredtt* provided a greater attraction than simply the repair of motors and the scraping and painting of boat hulls. There were many other competing proposals. All of them were privately operated commercial uses of this building. Most of them served the narrow marine interest of the small segment of the total community. Monty Trainer's concept won your approval on the motion of Commissioner Gordon because it was designed to open the bay and the bayfront to everyone. Under his plan everyone could enjoy the advantage of Biscayne Bay and its shore, whether or not they owned a boat or wanted marine motor repair job or a hull straightened. More than that Monty Trainer's plan won your approval because it would give Miami an exciting and dynamic focal point of attraction, which it sorely needs for its citizens and tourists alike, like San Diego, Los Angeles and the trip that Commissioner Plummer made down that coast. But even more than that, Monty Trainer's plan allowed the City to achieve its dream of a continuity of public ownership at a price never to be seen again in the future, and in a way which would ultimately be at no cost to the city, because its acquisition cost would be entirely recaptured from the revenues of the property, plus a profit, plus the public ownership of the property and the asset afterwards. You approved this plan and directed the city manager on July 22nd, 1976 to work out the details. Now, on March 16, 1977 after 8 months of detailed and thorough negotiations, your city manager has come forth with leases we have arrived at, and arrangements which have resulted from your direction. The proposed leases have gone far beyond the proposal of Monty Trainer in favor of the public, in the following important respects. No. 1, with regard to public ownership, control and benefit, the lease provides for a boardwalk to be constructed at the expense of Monty Trainer. The lease provides for public parking which is needed for the whole Dinner Key Master plan, not only for this operation as an adjunct to recreational purposes, but for public parking for the whole Dinner Key area, in the public enjoyment of it. The development at Monty Trainer's expense of more public parking, off the site; facilities for tram and water -borne public transportation on the site, reg- ulation of pricing of goods and materials, and rents, regulation of rules for public access, regulations of uses to assure consistency with the Dinner Key Master plan; provision for cancellation in the public interest; regulation of appearance, land- scaping and advertising; then there is the element of public revenues, The leases worked out are much more favorable to the city than the original proposal, The Kelly property lease makes the city a partner in net profits, far above the initial pro- posal which was $64,500, minimum rent, 8% up to a million* and 10Z over that. Now, it is $87,000, minimum rent, plus the partnership interest in increasing percentages according to how the net gross profit develops, There are strict accounting procedures and controls, The Miley property lease carries a percentage of gT044 revenue which we feel will give the City a potential of well over $150,000. per year, as the @eating c4p4city of the restaurant is doubled, and a lounge is added. There is also the cm., mitment that Monty Trainer will advance rent to assure the city will not have te pay out of its sources, other than the initial payment, from sources other than the teVeftue produced by the property itself. There is the public benefit in the asset which will belong to the city at the etrd of the lease. There is a cote tnitmett itt the lease that all the improvements shown on the bid proposal of Monty Trainer, will be made. The lease itself provides for basic rents to come due. It is essential that those improvements be made for the whole plan to work. Pot Monty `trainer to get a dime out of this property, he has to make those improve- ments. The cost of those improvements, we estittiated at the public hearing, would exceed a trillion dollars and perhaps go up to a 1.4 trillion dollars. We did place a floor on it, of $150,000. in the Kelly lease, because if we could find a way to bake those same inlproVements, for less, we wanted to do that. But those itttprove meats will be trade. The city will have those improvements when the lease terminates. On the Miley property, the seating capacity of the restaurant will be doubled the lounge will be established, not to be less in cost than $75,000. It will probably take a great deal more, but we wanted some latitude in the event we could do it more reasonably. Those improvements will belong to the City. So the City Manager has developed arrangements which are sure public ownership, public controlled, and more public benefit than ever before in any similar arrange- meat made by the City, be it the Miamarina, the Rusty Pelican, any of the projects here in Dinner Key, and my I timidly say, perhaps on a smaller scale even the Orange Bowl. The plan on the acquisition of the Miley property is as wollowst to authorize its acquisition by eminent domain proceedings, the final judgements entered in these proceedings then control the price and terms. The City is then following the court order, in settlement of full compensation for the taking. There are two plans. Its the same cost, $950,000. plus $60,000. cost in attorney's fees to the feeowner's interest, Mr. Miley. Then that would be full compensation to him, but remember, the Bayshore Properties INc., which is Monty Trainer, has a lease on the property, and when it is taken is entitled to full compensation for his interest, the leasehold estate, tenant imprC .ments, the equipment and furnishings, all of his good will. Al]. of that is be .ransferred to the City and as full compensation to that, there is a lease -back for''"'O years which will produce these benefits for the City. Not only will the City's cost be amortized by that lease over the 30 year period, but there will be, I submit, tremendous profits, unexperienced before, in arrangements made by the City in the past from this property in addition to the tangible asset of the property at the termination of the lease. The other way to do it, if there is a funding problem, we have worked out with the landlord fee -owner's interest of paying $475,000. as an initial payment upon entry of final judgement at which time title to the property passes to the public. Then plus the $60,000. cost and fees, I get none of that, I want you to know. The balance would be paid pursuant to judgement in 6 equal annual installments of principle and 6 annual payments of interest at 81%. Should you wish to save that interest and use other revenues which require less interest, be it parks for people bond issue of capital improvement funds or whatever. That money is going to be returned from the revenues of this property which would be available for those funds. Then the advantage of doing this by final judgement is, as a settlement, that no one, any any imagined reason, could challenge the arrangements made because they are in payment in lieu of cash, a full compensation for the taking. Public ownership and control is the object. That is the public use. The running of the Miley property is what gives the restaurant an attraction to this Dinner Key area. Otherwise I suggest the compensation if the property were available against the defenses of the owners against the taking in the future, could exceed a 1.5 million. Otherwise there may be no recapture of the cost of acquisition plus the additional resources We recognize the ruling of Judge Testa in the Kelly suit and the Kelly property, The City has appealed that and I think as I said before, there is an excellent change that the appeal will reverse Judge Testa opinion. But this is no way has anything to do with the Miley property, That is on the Kelly property. Furthermore I would like to point out to you that Judge Testa ruled, and I quote from his order, which I have in front of me, the City may for an interim period use the property,(meaning the Kelly property) for other than public purpose, We therefore ask you to do two things, Approve the Kelly lease, subject to the results of appeal, authorize the City Manager to let Monty Trainer operate the Kelly property for the interim period under the terms of that lease, and if the appeal is favorable to the City so the lease can continue, it would continue, If the appeal is unfavorable, se the lease may not continue, it would be terminated. There is an interim provision of the lease, in the form approved by the City Manager, This would produce 4 large percentage, The advantage of doing this on the Kelly property would be that it pre- duces revenues which are now being lost and wasted for the pudic on the property because it is not earning the revenue for the City that it can or should, or would if there were an interim lease as Judge Testa has said is possible, It would allow the 1eaaa to continue under its full terms if the appeal results permit, without further lapse of a considerable period of time which we have experienced at thie point. Secondly we ask you to proceed with the Miley transaction .lease back regardless of the Kelly appeal which has tto bearing oti the Mile ` ' petty. This would accomplish the desirable goals of the City attd the public, tt ownership and conttol and the benefit from the Miley property, Select your plan of payment, but we ask that you proceed as we have requested theft the decades dreams and the two years of efforts at this point will not go down the drain, 1 will be pleased to answer any questions that any of you have with regard to the leases, with regard to Judge Testa's ruling, with regard to our intent, Mrs. Gordon: Just for information. The current lease that Monty has with the Mileys, is for how long a period? Mr. Brigham:That was a 20-year lease. Mrs. Gordon: How many years are retraining? Mr, Brigham: There are about 1811 years remaining. Mrs. Gordon: Remaining? Mr. Brigham: ices, ma'am. Mrs. Gordon: That was why you brought up the fact of a condemnation through regular channel without a negotiation, would result in a higher purchase price to the City, ---- Mr. Brigham: Correct. Mrs. Gordon: ------because of the damages to him through the virtue of his lease. Is that correct? Mr. Brigham: Correct. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Manager at any time do we have an up -dated or any kind of appraisal of what that property, through condemnation proceedings would cost? As I recall for the Kelly property we paid right at 1 million dollars. Is that correct? smoen: $1,050,000.00 for the Kelly property. lummer: Do we have anywhere an appraisal of what the Miley property, --------2`understand it is a 'gestimate.' Mr. Fosmoen: We have one appraisal of $904,000. which I can't tell you how old it is, but it is a few years old. Mr, Plummer: is that just for the property, or the property and the business? Does it take the business into consideration? Mr. Fosmoen: Just for the property. Mr.Flummer: Just the property. So then you would have to acquiesce to the point that the closing of the business would obviously cost more, Thank you. Let me ask another question, The gears are grinding, Be more specific Mr, Grasse in why you feel this is not a good deal for the city. Mr, Gressie; Basically because I cannot recommend to you, one more unfunded project, We don't have $535,000, that 1 know of to come up with our share. Mrs, Cordon; May I ask you, Mr, GRassie, if you believe that there may be some of these funds available by way of same grants that might be coming this way or if Community Pevelopment would permit this kind of expenditure. Mr, 0rassi.e; The Community Development guidelines, asswuing target area identification and cipicen participation agreement and all these things that are necessary1 assuming all of that, yes, you could consider C,Ii, money, If you are talking about grants of the public works nature, here we are talking about /and aoqulsiticn, and that would not be eligible. Mra. Gordon' 1 know that. Then specifically, under the land ac4uisition portion of the Community Development, as f understand it, the grant sums will be increased for the City of Miami beyond what has been attticipated. Mr. GrassietYou are speaking of future funds we tight get in a year or two'? Mrs. Gordon: A third approach, or another approaeh, possibly to you Mt. Brigham, is whether or tot Mr. Miley would consider a lesser downpayment initially, in an additional payment, half doutt, half of that sum, and another half in a year, some thing of that sort. Mr. Brigham: When I learned of the funding problem, I approached Mr. Miley and his attorney, and I asked them not only to do that, but to extend the tertn for payment and they could not see their way cleat to do so, I am sure for good and valid reasons. But I understood the funds are available in the capital improvement program with the moneys that the Florida power and light has trade available for the convention center and respectfully submit that the use of those funds, for the downpayment, would probably, ---I don't know when you plan to build the convention center but if it is going to be for a period of more than 3,4 or 5 years, this money would be paid back to that fund in that period of time. Mrs. Gordon: I don't want to touch anything that is earmarked for the convention center. I would like that on the record right away. I would like to ask Mr. Grassie a question. Mr. Grassie: Yes, ma'am. Mrs. Gordon: In the paper, as I read the report, from you to the News, ---paper this morning, you so stated that we were short something like 2 million dollars, round figures, for the convention center, and you did not know where you were going to get it. I am concerned where you are going to get it. It is a current subject, since we are talking about spending more money. I want you to tell me where you expect to get that two million. Mr. Grassie: Commissioner Plummer is making some good suggestions on the side. I trust that it comes as no surprise to the City Commission that there is not a full appropriation for the convention center project. That project has for three years now, been about 5 million dollars short. It has been the position of the city that as that project neared completion, that it would be funded out of the capital improvement fund. Mayor Ferre;----and federal public funds, and other sources,--- Mr. Grassie: You know we have made that application, we are still reasonably optimistic that we will get -public works grant money to complete that budget. Now, of that 5 million dollars, we have reassigned at least at the budget planning level, 21 trillion dollars from the Dinner Key Project to make up half of that deficit. That leaves us between 2 and 21 million dollars which would still need to be reassigned from some other part of the capital improvement fund if we do not get public works money, That is the money I was talking about yesterday. I should say one other thing, This was not an announcement on my part. This was a question which was directed to me by Mr. Chapman, of the Downtown Development Committee, which he asked the funding status of this particular project, --- Mayor Perre: It shouldn't have been answered. Mr, Grassie;--it was being misreported, the information he has, was mistaken, and it was in that way, that the discussion of money, originated. Mrs, Gordon; I can't understand what happened to the money that due us from the sale of the Virginia Key property. Mayor Perre;We haven't received if. That is a i., 3,; mf .11on dollars, Mrs. Cordon; 1 thought it was 5 million. F, MR. Plummer; Ws got that, Mrs, Gotdon: Brat about the original bond money. Mt, Grassier It is still there, Mts. Gordon: Adding those two together and adding the money from the University, I don't see how you could be terribly short. Otte and one is two, Mt. Ctassiet So long as you only add half of the problem, We tend to forget that we spent over 4 million dollar's just for land acquisition in that project. Mayor Ferrel Let to see if I can clarify something. Of course you don't remember because you wern't here. Mr, Crompton, you might remember this. Perhaps you can clarify, Mt. Paul Andrews brought before this commission a chart and it was a chart that lasted through the 7 or 8 years of the Florida Power & Light franchise funds. It was a description of how several of these projects were going to be funded, among which was the convention center. As you may recall, back in the days when we had to negotiate that Virginia Key thing, we ended up with 5.3 million dollars. In addition the county, through negotiations, between our staff and their staff, agreed to a million and some odd thousand dollars for land acquisition. In addition we had about 4.5 million dollars left,---- (I think there is 4,7 dollars to be exact) from the bond money. There has been 300 thousand expended. That all totaled up well in excess of 10 million dollars. Furthermore, Mr. Andrews,(this is going back almost a year now) in that chart, it said if there was a shortfall, we would have sufficient moneys coming in from the Florida Power & Light franchise to cover the total amount. I would recommend that you have somebody in staff go back and look at the minutes because that was the clear understanding that this commission was given at that time. Now, if circumstances have changed, it seems to me, it should not come as any surprise to this commission that we only have 5 million dollars available for the conference convention center. I want to answer that by saying absolutely yes, it does come as a complete surprise, because the last time that we discussed this, officially in this commission, we were told that they were well in excess of 10 million dollars for that project and it was specifically earmarked. And if you go back on the record, you will find that state- ment being made. Mrs. Gordon: Would that include the University's money? Mayor Ferre: No, the University has 3 million dollars. Mrs. Gordon: Right.We are clear on that deal. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor can we stick to he subject at hand? Let's take care of Monty Trainer. Mayor Ferre: Let me see if I can sum it up in a minute and a half. He says it is a good deal because we are never going to get something like this in the future. It makes economic sense and he has been negotiating it for 9 months. This is an agreeable, negotiated document. He further says, that the Kelly deal and the Miley deal are two separate things. We can do one without the other, even though he would like a commitment on our part that if we are successful on appeal, that he has a contract. The Manager on the other hand says, that he is not speaking as to whether this is good or bad. What he is saying is, that we don't have a half million dollars to put into this thing at this point. Aid hear you right? Mr. Grassier That is correct. We have to resolve the legal question, the parking question and funding question, .Mayor Ferre; What he is saying is, you may as well start with most difficult one, which is, where are we going to get the money? He is saying We don't have the money. once you get beyond that one, we have to get to the legal question and finally the parking which is the least of the 3 in the problem. It is a problem but it is not the major problem. So, what he is saying is, our recommendation is that you do nothing at this point, Mr, Plummer Mt. Mayor please, I wish it was other than Monty Trainer, I really do. VOuty is a good friends Probably won't be after today. Mtn Mayor how can we even think about prooeedilg until we know,,-- m.we are writing a bad check. We ate enteting into an agreement that we can't cone up with the money. Until this man tells me my cheek is good, I don't see how we tan proceed. Mr, trighaff, do you have ah answer for that? Mr. Brigham: I think I may. However, fools rush in, where angels fear to tread. i don't know how much Honey you have in the parks for people bond issue. I understand that is a sensitive sugject, however, you may wish to compare the benefits of this acquisition over those that may be cot►itetiplated from those funds, with the understanding that this completes an ownership. It provides an ecisting facility which will produce revenue which will recoup funds. I don't know if that helped or hurt. The thought has occured to me. Mr. Plummer: Mt. Brigham, I don't disagree with that sir. But I am saying until this Manager can come to this table and say, gentlemen, here is the 500 thousand dollars, I think we are spinning out wheels. We are writing a bad check. That is no anyone can vote for that here today. Mr. Brigham: Would you give me about 2 minutes to concur with the Miley interest? Mr. Plummer: Sure. Mt. Brigham: They have heard this proceeding and let me see if there is any avenue there that, Mr. Plummer: Mr. Manager I apologize if I am doing negotiations, which is not my intent. I have an adverseness of writing bad checks. Mr. Grassie: I concur with that. I wonder Mr. Mayor if it would help while we are waiting the two minutes Mr. Brigham suggested, whether I could point out to you an information piece you have. 1 believe it is in front of you. I just put on your desks this morning so you haven't had a chance to take a look at it, but it is a major project status report. No. 2 in that list of 15 or 16 projects, ---you just got it this morning and you have not had a chance to see it. Mayor Ferre: He didn't put it on my desk. Mrs. Gordon: I don't have it here either. Mr.. Plummer: He sure did with me. Mr. Grassie: It is the agenda supplement, Mayor. I am sorry. It did get out to your office. It is an information piece and there was no necessity for it. but I thought that if you had it I would point out the figures we have in report No.2, which has to do with the conference -convention -center. What we do there is to summarize the existing budget for that project. Very simply, what it shows is that we have 4.5 million dollars for land acquisition and 10.5 million for development costs for that project. When we take the previous convention center project cost of $345,000.00, land acquisition costs $4,140,000.00 and consulting and developing architrctural fees of $895,000.00, when you have those total expenditures to date, you can see what has happened to your budget, The sourcesof the money that you have, are 4.5 million from the convention center, general obligation bond issue, 5,3 million from Virginia Key, then there is a 5,2 million that we asked for from public works. That is the 5 million dollar problem I was talking about. It is in your report. Mr, Plummer: Mr. Mayor I am going to make one request right now, It seems like everybody wants to forget about it, Mr. Knox. I want a report from you es soon as possible, exactly the status of the f'PL franchise as it relates to the court suit of ,p--..there was a ruling, George, I am sure are familiar with it. Mayor Ferre; That doesn't affect the City of Miami., Mr, Plummer. The wording of that ruling in my estimation could very well affect the City of Miami, Mayor Ferre You are not a lawyer, W. Plummer; That is why 1 have asked the lawyer to give me 4 report, Mayor tette: Lawyer, I want to remind you that the law department, it wasn't this particular, =.---- 1 atft talking about John tloyd, who was asked that quesiton and gave you a legal opinion. The legal opinion was that since the City of Miami was named in that lawsuit, and since the City of Miami did not participate in that lawsuit as a friend of the court, or whatever it was, therefore it was not bidding on the City of Miatni and there is no court in the land that could in any way bird US to something which we did not in arty way participate. Mrs Plummer: Mr, Mayor I at asking again, we have a new city attorney, we now have some 180 different positions. All I am saying to you, I want you to review that court decision and in your estimation, I want you to come back here and say to this commission what your opinion, -"is the ci.ty's right to franchise beyond 84 in jeopardy, ---you feel it is tint in jeopardy, -.I want you to come back because everywhere we are turning here recently, we are using FPI, franchise for a crutch. I as going to tell you something, that crutch tight not exist. I Want your opinion Mr. Knox, as to Popper ruling, if that is the proper terminology, as it related to either Medley, or somewhere, --the court stopped theta from a franchise, and remember very vividly in the decision it was stated, cities; plural, could no longer franchise. Mayor Ferret Don't you remember very vividly that the City Attorney also upon request of your questions, said, on the record, that in his opinion, there was no way that could be enforced upon the City of Miami at this particular point. Mr. Plummer: That is right. Mayor Ferret But there could always be a danger that in a future case that could happen. Mr. Plummer: I am asking for Mr. Knox's opinion, --his feeling. Mrs, Gordon: You want him to look into it? Mr. Plummer: Sure I want his opinion of what he feels is the jeopardy or possible jeopardy of this city, being affected by that ruling. Mayor Perre: I think I would like to word it differently. I would like to put it this way. I would like to know if you disagree with the former city attorney . Mr. Plummer: That is fine.I will accept that. And if not, send me a copy of the former ruling. Mr. Brigham: The difficulty I have is that Mr. Miley and his attorney understood you to say that you have no funds and before they can suggest anything if that is your condition, they have no suggestion to make. If there are some funds you can offer, then I, will approach them on that basis, and perhaps some initial payment, 6-year payment, and balloon can be arranged. Mrs. Gordon: Six year on the 450 you are talking about? Mr. Brigham; There is a 6-year annual payment now. If a 6-year period of time would give the city to be in better position with regard to its funding, it seems reasonable to me to think we might ask the Miley interest to consider some kind of balloon payment toward the end. They are at a loss to know what to suggest. Mrs. Gordon; We have to come up with the proposition and they will consider it, Mr, Brigham; They heard you say you had no funds, W. Plummer; They didn't hear wrong, Mr, Brigham; The Miley interest understood the commission and the City Manager to say there are no funds to proceed with this, Therefore they can't offer anything because if there are no funds, there can be no purchases, l was inquiring if there are funds, and if there are, and you can state an amount that would be available, then we can approach them, Mrs, Gordon; Along the linos of what l said bef Mr. Brigham: 'Yes, ma'am. Mr, Plummer: Mr, Mayor I am going to make a motion, I make a motion this matter be sent back to the Manager to come back to this cotmniissitin with a possible funding source, whether it be with alternatives, so that we can reasonably consider a financial situation which we ate faced with here today, and I don't think toe can settle, I am going to recommend that this be deferred to the Manager to come up with a possible funding recommendation for the City's portion, 1 Rake that in the form ofi a Motion, Mrs, Gordon: Are you putting a time elettett oil it? Mr. Brigham: Would it be possible to do between now and this afternoon hearing? Mr. Plummer: If the manager tells me he can do it between now and then, sure. Mr. Brigham: We have been working for more than 9 months on this project, Mr. Plummer: Mr. Manager you heard the motion. How long would you need? Mayor Ferre: It all depends, because if it is a child that is going to be born, it takes 9 months. Mr. Plummer: Not necessarily. Mayor Ferre: If it is a white elephant, it is going to take longer than 9 months. Mr. Grassie: That will take 13 months, Mayor. Mr. Plummer: I have a motion. It hasn't got a second. Do I assume my motion dies? 30 days is fine with me, or the next commission meeting is fine with me. As soon as you can do it. Mrs. Gordon:If you leave it as soon as he can do it, it may never be done. Mr. Plummer: Let me do it this way Rose to try to make you happy. Mrs. Gordon: I would say by the next commission meeting, and I'll second your motion, if you do that. Mr. Plummer: My motion is to turn this matter back over to the Manager for him to develop the possible source of funding in which the City can enter into this agreement, this having a maximum return to this commission of 30 days. He can do it this afternoon, tomorrow, ---- Mayor Ferre: Reboso seconds. I would assume, implied in the motion is the acceptance of the proposal, Unidentified person: No sir. Mayor Ferre: Why are you instructing the City Manager to go find the money if you are not willing to accept the deal. Mrs, Gordon; Why waste his time, and these people, and out time, unless you are interested in this proposition. Mayor FFrre; If you are telling the Manager, to go find the money to do this, and you are telling me at the same time, you don't intend to go through with it, once he finds the money, that it seems to me, I think you are putting this thing backwards, The first thing you have "to makeup your mind on, is, does this deal make any sense? And if it does make sense, are we going with it in principle? Then I think the next step is to tell. the Manager, look, we want to do it, if we can, It is in you hands, try to do it, If it can't be done, it can't be done, Mr, Plummer; Mr, Mayor let me refresh your memory sir, I have always played .pethe 7 years I have been on this commission, that the majority rules, Right? Mayor Ferre Right. 30 Mr, Plummer: I was opposed to Dinner key, the majority rules, and I think that my votes will reflect that what that majority decision was, I went along with every way possible to try to take what the majority decision of this commission was. I will now remind you Mr, Mayor that Mr, Brigham made a statement, Which was a scatterguri statetie'tt, which is done quite commonly, that the eotttissiott approved, this proposal, What he did not say, that this commission approved it on a 3 to 2 vote, myself and Father Gibson voted against this proposals Mr, Mayor I am still opposed as presented in this lease, but the majority of this commission was in favor, I play by that ballgame, The majority has made the ruling, tow I feel I atn bound to do what the majority rules. There again I don't think that it is right to come before this commission with the proposal when we don't have the money to spend. Before, I want, ----and I would assume that this is going to be a 3/2 vote again,or it is going to be a 4/1 vote, I think the majority of this conttission has spoken they want this thing. I want it but not under the terms. Mrs. Gordon! y'ou do want it. That is what the Mayor said. Mr. Plummer: I am getting ready to make some other motions after this one is over, rise or fall. Mayor Ferret Let's put it right on the table. What is you want, what is the majority here is going to go on,----- -as far as I am concerned, this commission has gone on record saying we want to developthat property. Mr. Plummer! ---by a 3 to 2 vote. Mayor Ferre: We have had some criticism as you know, which of course, we do, on anything we do. I personally think that was unfair criticism, because our intention here is to develop a waterfront area, for the public use and it is marine oriented. I hope to God that it is clearly understood that you are not going to put into this area a cowboy supply shop, or something, ----completely unrelated. Mr. Brigham: That is correct. Mayor Ferre: This has to be water -marine oriented activities. That is the premise we have been going on. No 2. we also set some specifications, which are clearly on the record, amongst which were the commitment to spend a million and some odd dollars. That was all part and parcel of this. Now, it seems to me, that what is happening here is, that in good faith Mr. Fosmoen has negotiated a contract. The contract is before us. The Manager and Mr. Fosmoen are saying don't proceed. I have not heard you say don't proceed because it is a bad deal or you disagree with the premise. You are saying don't proceed because we don't have the money. Is that correct? You are not saying this is a bad contract are you? Mr. Grassie: No. I think that on the assumption that the city commission has decided that the project should go ahead, I think that the leases that are in front of you are good leases, from the point of view of the City. Mayor Ferre: It is a question of finding the money. Mr. Plummer; You have given the Manager a mandate by the majority of this commission that you wish to proceed. The Manager has done no more or no less than try to get the best deal out of that proposal, Now, what he is telling you, is he doesn't feel personally that it is a good proposal, Mayor Ferre: He didn't say that, Did you say that? Say it on the record, if that is the case, Is this a bad proposal in your opinion? Mr. Grassie; You mean, is the project a good project? Mayor Fevre, Yes, Mrs. Gordon. is the entire proposal.a bad project or a good project. Mayor Ferrel, Is it good for the people of Miami? The question is, in your opinion, since you have been involved in this, and you know exactly what is intended to be accomplished here, is this good for the city of Miami, yes or no. M;, Brigham; Mt. Mayor we didn't meat P Me with Mr. Grassie, It wgg all Mt► tosi ett, Mayor Pare: Mr, posrtaeh 'theft, through Mr. Gtassie, Mr, Grassier Ih faittess Mr Mayor, I have hot considered that as an aternative opeh to the, to questioh whether o't not, something other that what you had already decided, was aft altetnative. Mayor Terre: There have beet lot of other mandates. Mr. Grassier What I at saying to you further, I will be happy tel do that, and give you a recommehdatioh oft that, but our effotts so fat has been in good faith to work with Monty Traiher and get the lease that you asked for That is all we have done. Mayor Ferre: The lease that came back is not quite what because there was softie specific things,�� Mr. Grassie: We got the best we could. Every negotiation points of view. They had some points of view too. Mayor Ferre: I'll put it to you this way. Unless the commitment to spend that kind of money is part and parcel as this commission voted, you don't have shy vote. e asked for, Mr. Brigham:It is there sir. involves two Mayor Ferre: Not on a what -if basis. It has to be specific. Mr. Brigham: It is. We agree to improve the property in definite fixed ways. The plans are in record and everything else. Mayor Ferre: If thing gets moving, I want to make sure that there is no way but legally they can say well, we said we would try but can't do it, and therefore we don't intent to spend any money, or spend $50,000. Mr. Fosmoen: Mr. Mayor the lease does not say that they will spend 1.4 million dollars. The lease says they will develop the property in accordance with the pro- posal that was made, and they expect to spend at least $750,000. much. Mayor Ferre: That is the minimum expenditure, they have to spend that Mrs. Gordon: That is for the two parcels together? Mr. Fosmoen: No, that is for the Kelly property. Mrs. Gordon: I want to say how I feel about it Mr.Mayor. I feel this is a very rare opportunity for the public to be able to acquire a very valuable piece of waterfront property at a very minor amount of investment. It is such a rate opportunity I can hardly believe it is happening. I think that this com- mssion would be remiss if they did not try at least to come up with some initial amount of money. If not the amount that has been specified in the lease, an amount we could come up with. I don't buy that, 'we don't have it,' I have seen too much going around City Hall in 6 years that indicates to me, when we want something, we find a way to accomplish it. I think we need to find a way to accomplish this because this is a good proposition for the City of Miami, for the taxpayers of the City of Miami, for all the people who choose to live in the City of Miami, come to visit the City of Miami, because it will be in public hands, At no time in the future can any private developer come in and apply for a high-rise apartment building or some other use which we would find objection to, but which might be granted by the courts if not by us, and I think this is something we should not dilly-dally on but come back positively and in an Affirmative manner say that we can afford x number of dollars, that we will pay the balance out in such and such a manner, That is all, Rev, Gibson: Mt. Mayor I would bops that we would give the Manager an opportunity to gee if he can find the noney, If he cannot find it, than he ought to come back and tell us, I hope the spirit is that be must find it, if he cannot find it. ii+at to try and find it:and if be cannot then come back and say I ha* e looked, and there is no way, if that is the case We Will 'mote khbwi iOye The following motion was introduced by CoM tiissiot et PltThftet, who molded its adoption, MOTION N0, 77212 A MOTION bEFERRING CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED LEASES FOR RAYS'HORE EOAT sHEb (KEttY PROPERTY) ANb TRAINER RESTAURANT (MILEY PROPERTY) ANb DIPECTiNG THE CITY MANAGER TO STUDY PossInt FUNDING SOURCES CONCERNING THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION IN THESE PROPOSED LEASES, SUCH REPORT TO COME HACK TO THE CITY COMMISSION NO LATER THAN 30 bAYS FROM THIS DATE. upon being seconded by Commissioner Reboso, the Motion was passed and adopted by the following vote - AYES: Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner J. L. Plummer, Jr. Commissioner Rose Gordon Vice -Mayor Theodore Gibson Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None, Mayor Ferre: Mr. Grassie, now that that vote is over with and before Plummer makes his other motions, S want to express to you, that I think it is important since you are relatively new to the city and some of the people involved in this thing, like Mr. Fosmoen► that if you have real major objections, and I have not felt that you in any way, --were hesitant or bashful, (if you are, you certainly fool me) about expressing your opinions, and if you feel this is something that is in the best public interest, certainly you come and express your opinion, that you feel even though the mandate of the Commission is such -and -such, you would like to point out these elements of negotiation have occured which may change the opinion of the commission. I think really you are not only honor bound, but I think you are bound by the parameters and description of your job to tell us if you feel that that is exactly the case. And, if you do have any hesitation, if you think this is not in the best public interest, I think you should tell us that. As far as I'm con- cerned, this has been a long, long process. And this commission, as Plummer has pointed out, 3 to 2 expressed itself that we were in principle in favor of the development of the purchase of the Miley property, in development in a marine oriented public use. And that the offer that was made by Mr. Trainer was acceptable in principle. Now, staff was then told to go and negotiate this and bring it back. This is what you've done. I want to make sure that we have your opinion on it (1) and (2) that you come back with a possible funding of this and tell us what it is... You know there are no free lunches. The trouble with this commission including me many many times is that we seem to think that somehow bread will fall like vannah from heaven and if we just close our eyes and don't worry about it too much but shift the burden over to the Manager he's just going to go out to the money tree called the federal government and go to H.U.D. or what have you and just start pick- ing the loaves of bread which turn into millions of dollars. The fact is that there is a certain amount of that that's available but we really need to find where we are in reality what is available today and not tomorrow and what the priorities are because we keep on running in circles with this whole thing and part of the problem is that we're not brought to reality by the people who are supposed to do that and that's the staff. This commission is a part time commission and there is no way in the world that we know all these things that are happening nor should we nor can we. And it seems to me that the obligation falls on your shoulders to not only establish guidelines but to bring us to the reality of what is available and within that what can or cannot be done because it's just not acceptable for us to be dreamers around here and be dreaming about all these wonderful things that we're going to do when, in fact, they're just nothing but dreams, if that's what they are. Now I hope this is not a dream, I hope this is real and I hope that we can fund it and I think we ought to come back and quickly give us an answer on it. What is the alternative? Mr. Grassie; I appreciate your comments, Mayor, and certainly I agree with you, I do think that we're working in sort of a team effort here and at least some of us are and I do think that it's important that we try and establish the difference between my influencing your policy taking too much and getting you enough informat- ion so that you can make a decision and it is a delicate kind of a balance that we have to :maintain, MT, Plummer; Let me answer that, Mr, Grassie, maybe I'm finding fault with you, sir. Put you know nowhere in this document did l find any indication that the city didn't have the half 4 million dollars. Mt, Gtassiet You noticed that I didn't take too Much tittle about telling you that though, didn't you Mr, PlUMMet: Well, but you know when I'm sitting back there Breeding these things Pm not going to be looking at it ih the sale light if I know I don't haiie the money or I do have the Money. And I'M hot finding fault, I'M just saying that 1 think going along With what the Mayor says, 1 think that should have been parat graph A-14, We don't have the money, Now let Me go one other point, Mr, Mayor, the poitts 1 want to bting up and I want you to listen to so that I'M hot fisundetro stood, Mt, Mayor, at ho tithe have I been opposed to the development of the Miley and Kelly property, My disagreement has come about in how it was going to be developed, 1 have no qualfns with what Monty is trying to do with the restaurant. I think it is good, I think it is something that is needed and God knows from the public acceptance of their going to that place on a nightly basis shows that it's what we're trying to do, There I only have quabble with the figures. Now I have serious disagreement as Father Gibson did as relation to the Kelly property. Everybody has their own enterpretation, Mine happened to be different than what Mr. Trainer proposed before this commission. I think that that thing needs to be developed more in an outright water/boating type of activity, I did and will not for one minute deny that I liked the proposal of Mr. Paul Andre, not that it was wed to him but that was totally 100% for boating and water, Now, anywhere in be- tween there t could deviate. Mr. Mayor, I'm ready right now to offer a motion in two parts: (1) That we dismiss the appeal. (2) That we put out now for a proposal to be more water oriented and boating activities which does not in any way preclude Mr, Trainer from altering his proposal. But Mr, Mayor, I will offer two motions, the first one we drop the appeal, Mayor Ferre: Alright, there is a motion tha the appeal be dropped, Is there a second to that motion? Is there a second to the motion? Hearing none... Mr. Plummer: Then there's no reason for the second motion. Mayor Ferret Let me express my opinion on that very quickly. I feel about that particular building in the same way that I felt about Dinner Key Auditorium. I just happen to think that it is an asset that we have and it seems to me that it would be criminal just to put a bulldozer and tear it down or to use it, for example for boat storage. Well, what else can you really use a building like that for? Mr. Plummer: Go back and look at the proposal of Paul Andre where it was totally 100% split up into that building for marine activities. Mayor Ferre: Well, that's what Monty Trainer is going to do. Mr. Trainer: J.L., You've looked at that thing for two years. Mr. Plummer: That's right. Mr. Trainer: And I've fought this thing for two years and you know I'm trying my damnedest to do something with the waterfront down there... Mr. Plummer: And you've done a fantastic thing with the marina... Mr. Trainer: I've got news for you, you go out to San Francisco, you'd probably blow up the Cannery, Ghiardeli, Marina Del Ray and everything. Somebody invents the airplane and you want them to have a parachute because you know it's going to crash. Mr. Plummer: You might be right, Mr. Trainer; ..,... I tell you, it's hard. You know I'm really trying down there and we've really come up with a water oriented project, It's 90% marine oriented, We're going to develop the marina, we're going to put an awning over it. We're going to put lights on it, It's going to be some place where people can spend a buck and a half and go out and get on the bay. You go now to your Yacht Clubs and Spence's place and all this stuff - Christ: If you don't have a boat don't dare go near there, But T guess it will change now that he's in the restaurant business, Dut I tell you we want people out there for a buck and a half a throw to go out in the water, You don't have to own a boat, You want 60 people to control that piece of property, that's what you want. 1 want 5,000 people coming through there. l want people com- ing to this town for a convention center staying at coconut Grove Hotel, staying in town three or more days because we've got a boat house down here, We've 90t se thing, We've got a Cannery, a Ghiardeli, YOU know sometimes you've got to,.. Hey, you said it the other time - imagination, You said the other proposals left you gold, Ali- of a sudden we've got two acres over here and now you've got to Come sown there and put a boat yard, 34 MAR 3.6 1977 Mayor Fete t Mohty# you've clot a 5 to 0 Vote oh the Motion and the Matte:6 that was killed) the second One) so t Mean there was ho SecOhd.

Mr, Grassie: This is an informational and progress report for the City commission from 1-hi inancp hirector) mr, mAvor, SO that IehOW what the status 6f olir in- vestigation of the pension funding is. Mayor Ferret Ok. Mr. James E. Gunderson: Members of the commission, what we're doihg in the Finance Department at the present time in regards to the Pehsion System is directing itself towards the concerns that you've expressed. One is the inequities within the System, buy -backs, etc. The other is the cost that is currently an overbearing thing rel- ative to the benefits, etc. What we have done in this process is to isolate the elements of both the eligibility requirements and the pension benefits and provid- ing alternatives to those so that we can go to the outside people and get a cost associated with those elements, bringing back those elements in terms of cost and putting them in the form of a decision package which then will be related to you for the determination as to where you want the pension to go, the Pension Systems. To be more concrete, one of the elements for instance, is the possible retirement age of 55 or 50 depending on whether you're talking about the System or Plan and to ask ourselves what is the alternative to that in terms of cost, adding a year or detracting a year and realizing that other phases of the Pension Plan are both inter dependent and inter related so that if you raise one you can lower another. For instance, the 2'% requirement on the 2 average years of highest pay; we would say what is the alternative of increasing or decreasing that by .1% and what is the impact if you raise the age or other elements within the plan. Coming back to you with decision packages, a variety of these so that you can be aware of what the cost will be if you take certain actions. This was just a report as to where we are. We are within about two weeks of submitting to the City Manager the proposal that we intend to have the actuaries work upon in determining cost. You have two actuaries, one for the system and one plan. Pardon? (INAUDIBLE QUESTION) We're setting up the parameters which they in turn will provide the cost and that would be Alexander & Alexander for the System and Cruz King for the plan. Mr. Grassie: In other words the staff is asking the questions, the actuaries, the present city's actuaries will be answering the questions and those answers will be put in front of the City Commission in an organized way. Mrs. Gordon: After you have determined what modifications you are contemplating, is that what you have in mind? Mr. Gunderson: Well, it isn't a question of determining, it is determining the extent to which if you make a modification in certain increments, Mrs. Gordon; I understand, but what I'm saying is first you've got to make a deter- mination of what modifications you have in mind and then you will submit those prO- posed modifications for an 4nalySiA. Is that correct? Mr, Grassie: No, COMMiSSiOner, What we are taking is a full series of a1ternatives, we,re not taking about suggesting Specific ModifiCationS, Wee taking a who.e series of alternative possible modifications up and down and costing those out so that you have 4 basis of information, a badsground Mtn what these decisions cost, It is not 4 Tiestion of coming up with 4 new package and recommendin7 it, Mrs, Gordon; NO4 but you're saying here are certain things that you could do, Nov) the question isw T understand because you said PP at our public meeting of the Pension Plan that some of these are matters which relate to tabor negotiations, Correct? 35 MAR 1 61977 Mt. Grassie: tkactly, Mrs, Gordon: At what point in tithe do you btinq that aspect Tito it? Mr, Grassie: Well, only at such tithe as we would be negotiating questions or proposing significaht changes. What we're talking about pow is basic inforir►ation for the City foflission so that you know what the cost of soMe of these decisions are. That's what we want to get in front of you ih the short tun, a basic under* standing of what the cost of soMe of the alternatives are, And the purpose of this report is simply so that you will be aware that this is in process, we have hot forgotten it and it is codling and the estitatioh that we have now is that we may have a produdt for you within two weeks, We do depend oh the actuaries in terms of their responding, of course, but we're talking about that kind of tiMe table. Mr, Gene Naples: Mr, Mayor, may I ask a question, please? Mt. Grassie or Mr. Gunderson, ate you speaking of possible changes in the existingSyster for the active employees or is this for future employees or are you talking about tnodify= ing the plan to start a new plan or are you speaking of modifying the existing plan for the existing active employees? Mr, Grassie: Neither one. We are really talking about presenting alternatives, Gene► both up and down in terms of cost. That is identifying a specific kind of change which you could make to an existing plan or system and then costing that out. It is hot a recommendation that X, Y, Z be done, Mr, Gene Naples: The reason I pose the question is because there are certain con- straints on both labor and management as to what you can or cannot do even as far as getting into the Home Rule Charter provisions for pensions, I don't know whether you're considering that but think that that would be something that you should look into. 8, OM DISCUSSION 1T131: RESIGNATION OF ROBERT PAU ,, EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF THE CIVIL SERVICE BOARD, MrR. cordon: Mr. r;rassi.n, may I ask you if you would calarifv something that came up and is in the paper today and which I think a lot of people would like to know what precluded it and why it came about and so on and so forth. And that is the resignation of the Secretary of the Civil Service Board yesterday which is in the paper today and which was, as I read it, predicated upon some transfer that he claims that you made of a person who is a member of the board, Chief Examiner Mrs. Skubish as being contrary to the Charter, if I recall that clearly. Will you explain that to me, please? Mr. Grassie: Well, I'll try, Commissioner. Mayor Ferrer Well, you're going to have to do it quickly ... We've got a 12 O'Clock commitment. Mr. Grassie: First, I should tell you I was not at the Civil Service hearing and I have not talked with Mr. Faulk who resigned so I have basically second hand information, Mrs. Gordon: You're acquainted with the issue. Mr. Grassie; Yes. Basically what I understand he was talking about was a trans fer of an individual, Pat Skubish who worked in the Police Department and who 1 have assigned to work in the Human Resources Department on a temporary basis. i think it should be obvious that there is far from being a Charter violation. There is no violation of any kind because otherwise we wouldn't have done it. And if we had done it and there really were a violation it would have been challenged immediately, Now the question of whether or not an employee can be transferred from one department to another department on a temporary basis 1 think if that is being made a real issue then it is really a red herring case, It's not an issue, it's happened hundreds of ti.meS, probably thousands of times historically and there is nothing very unusual about it. NOW, if the ,point is being ,Wade, and 1 have not heard Mr. Paul* make this point, but if the point is being shade that that transfer caused hiM to resign I would have to €eel that there is no xe.ati•onshiP, there is no logical relationship between the two things, It has been reported to me that at the board meeting yesterday there was PAWS discussion and possibly some friction between the two individuals and as a consequence of that he did Offer his resonation = she's on the board you understand and he did offer his xeei9nation4 he was asked not to, he offered it again and the board aceePted it, Now, that's as mush information as 1 have about what happened yesterday, 36 MAR ,16 7 Mt, Piuff~ tett Mrs, dordoh, if you Waht to fihd out what Mr. Pauik was thinking why doh't you invite Mr, Pau1k. Mrs, Gotdott No, f wahted to khcw what the Mahager knew about that pattidUlat incident which triggered it and anything At, Faulk has to ;Say certainly will come from Mr. Pau1k, Mr. Naples is standing here, 1 dohl,a..,..how whether he was at that particular meeting or not but you've got ohe minutes car, you say anything to that? M>?, Maples: Well, t wasnit really up here for that purpose but since it was brought Up, first we have been profnised and you're well aware of, Mrs. Gordon, that softie of the things that have been discussed as to who is supposed to be doing what as far as the hew department and Civil Service is concerned we've been prolised that some of those things will be brought out ih the neXt week sometiMe, the early part of next week, But cohcerning the incideht, I agree that I doh' ;�" hink that that in itself triggered Mr, Pau1k's resignation. We do have some •1 -ition as to whether the City Manager's Memo asking for a transfer of the kind that Was mentioned therehras, in fact, valid and t; the 90-day provis- ion, he asked for a 90=day thing ananhe Civil Service Ruleseaks of 30 days with possible extensions but for 30 days at a time. But those are incidental things there, 'There's a lot more to the whole thing than We have time to dis- cuss. We'll be back I'm sure to discuss this at some later date. Mrs, Gordon: Ok. Is it possible, Mr. Mayor, that you would request more inform- ation be furnished to us so that we might be knowledgeable about..., Mayor Ferre: I think that, of course, is reasonable and certainly it is some-i thing that we ought to have on a subject which affects this city and the com- mission and all the employees greatly so the answer, of course, is yes. Mr. Naples: Mr. Mayor, the other thing that had to do with pensions, we were wondering if since the manager and Mr. Gunderson are going to have some things that re going to be brought before the commission certainly I don't think that they're going to be in a position to improve or increase benefits under the pension system and it is going to be something that's going to be negotiated at the next negotiating session. Would we be permitted to have some input in a report of our own that might be considered by the commission at that same time? Mr. Grassie: Mr. Mayor, are we still about the question of alternatives on the pension system? Mr. Naples: Yes. Mr. Grassie: Certainly, I think that that would be' fair that... 9, DISCUSSION REQUEST FOR USE OF ORANGL BOWL. STADIUM AND WAIVER OF RENTAL FEE FOR "SUPtR BOIL OF RUCK AND ROLL" (96-X) Mayor Ferre: We've had two gentlemen here that have been very patient here and they've set through all the morning hearings wanting to be heard and I'm talking now about WMJX, station 96X. Are you ready to talk on this now? What exactly is the request? Could you be very specific? It's a letter to Commissioner Gordon dated February the 8th. It says, "96X Radio is sponsoring a major event", This is at the Orange Bowi, is that correct? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Yes, sir, we would like to have that. Mayor Ferre; On May8th, And Mr. Carl Como re questekt}iat the... This is going to be a free concert? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER; Yes, that is our intention, Mayor Ferre; And you wanted to have the Orange Bowl for free, Is that what you're basically saying? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER; Yes. sir, that's basically it, Mayor Ferre; Alright, Mr. comp, are you ready to address yourself on that? M., Car. COMO; Thank you very much your honor and members of the commission for having us here, 1 just want to briefly outline some of the things that 96X Radio licensed to the City of Mi4Mi has been working with and on though the various 37 MAR le 77 city offices and the Parks DepatbMeht, 96X has wotked oh hUMetoUs doMMuhity projects ih the as year and a half. 96X sponsored a BiCehtehhial T=shitt_ptoM= otiOh With the city highschOois, We awarded a $600 dash ptite to tdison liphadhOell, 96k also sponsored With the City of Miathi a ptoMOtiOn Called SuhdayS ih th park, We used the city's Mobile van, the stage Vah to conduct these concerts At the packs ih Miafti and bade County, 96X ih the past had paid tot Many of the hands to appear for free at these various Sundays ih the Park prOMotiohs We also sponsored the Cerebral PalAy Walk-a=thon where ohe of our disc jockeys raised thOUsands of dollars and that's an ahhUal event that we're ihVOlVed in, Aiso, we SpCohtOtdd the 96X Christmas Cartol tree: We dohated the tree which was at yfront Park for approximately 3 weeks and from tithe to tithe we invited cartol croups there ad AA a tatter of fact the Mayor was there for the official ttee lighting Ceremony. 96X also sponsored nuterous clean-ups and I'm btingihgase to your attention because sometimes some of these don't get to your atte h. We sponsored clean= ups of beachesb as a Matter of fact one of them was South Beach Clean-up where we according to sothe of the city officials, collected 20% of the coral during ah event which brought approximately 5,000 young people out to clean up South Beach and again we provided a rock group there free of charge to entertain while they were cleaning up South 1;leach. our promotions have been wide and varied, We were in= volved with the i entennial Paraltwith the City of Miami. We were also involved 41i with a fireworks play at Tamiair Park, We were also involved with many other promotions involving some city functions. The bottom line is on May 7th or 8th 96X will be sponsoring a promotion called the Super Bowl of Rock and Roll. We will have top names in the world of entertainment here from all across the country and it will be absolutely free. There is no cost to the young people to get in. 96X will give.... Mayor Ferre: Let me understand this right. What you're saying is that you're willing to pay for the police services, you're willing to pay for the clean up, you're willing to pay for the electricity and the insurance and all the other things that go but what you don't want to pay is the rental. Mr. Como: Yes, sir. Mayor Ferre: Now as far as I'm concerned, you're not charging any admission? Mr. Como: It's free. Mayor Ferre: It's free but the radio station obviously is not donating any profits that it's making on advertisement during time or are you going to... Is this going to be transmitted by radio? Mr. Como: No, sir. And we will give to the city approximate 10,000 tickets to Al give to the underprivileged. We're planning it for the Orai13ow1. Mr. Grassie: Let me see if 1 can summarize the proposition as I understand it, Mr. Mayor. 96X is asking the city to give them free use of the Orange Bowl so that they can put on a concert at which they will not charge admission. The normal charge would be $25,000 for that kind of event. 1 understand that they are going to sell advertising to I believe Coca-Cola and Colonel Sanders or somebody to sup- port this kind of activity. The basic question in front of the city is is it proper use of city facilities to provide it without cost for this kind of activity. Mr. Jennings tells me that we probably have a prohibition against doing that in our ordinance. But putting that aside, even putting aside the question of the ordinance prdlibition I would point out to you that 96X has set up an appointment vith the staff to review these problems on next Monday which has not been done yet and they have not reviewed with us any of the problems thot we feel are legislative ordinance kinds of problems not to spea/: of the bond ordinance. It seems to me some what prematuYe to be taking up your time at this stage since we have not even gone through that process. Mrs. Gordon; Another question, the concession, would our normal concessionaire be in operation or would they be rUnn.hg their own concessions? Mr, COMP; No, Again, this is non-profit. We are waiving any consideration to the parking. We are waiving any consideration to the concessions and it there is any money derived it could be given to the March of Dimes, any worthwhile charity. This is non-profit, 1 have talked with the City Commissioners individually, I have talked to the City Manager's Office. No, 1 did not know of a pending meeting on Monday, sir, 1ev, 412§on; M, MaYOV4 I would hope,.. Mr. Grassief they always gay we 4Pn't want to do too much fPr young people, Now Tim on that ide, yo4 Ichow we dPn't want to be bothered with it. 1 would hope that if this can be worked put and atrahged that this watid be one of the things the city Would do to help tedeeM some of that ifagei iE it can be Wttked out and at ahged. tVoW# t Would hope you have endugh tifie to have your staff talk With these gehtleteri and Wotk out the details and tell us why, You khOW0 t like fot you to come and tell Me hcW it could be dohe and why it could be dohe and hot achy it can't be dohe. bk? Mt1 Grassier it's much nicer to be a hive quy, t like that. tev, Gibson: t khowr but the poiht t hake is if it can be done let's Work out a system to dti its If it Can't be done then that's a different story, Thereupon the City Coftdttission recessed at 12:08 P.M, and reconvened at 2110 O'Clock P.M, as MAR 161977 ..

Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, before you move on. Mr. Grassie, as soon as possible, I would like from your staff an estimate of what it is going to cost the City of Miami to get in line with the new Metro Ordinance which requires monthly reporting of all employees who have outside jobs. I see this as going to be volumes and volumes of recordkeeping and I think it is only fair of this City to request of Metro in the same way we demand of the State, don't force upon us programs without funding. They are forcing this program, right or wrong, on us and l expect to ask them for the funding of this program because as I see it, it's going to be a tre- mendous volume of paperwork so I would like to have an approximate cost of what that's going to cost this City. Mayor Ferre; Alright, I'll tell you, I think, at this point, it's unfair to ask these people who have been waiting to wait any longer so I apologize and we're not going to have a full Commission but I think we'll get going with the presentations. 41 MAR 19 1977 i4 NAM CEKTIFICATtS, PROCIACOM A110 SKLIAL riVE, Presentation of a Resolution expressing sympathy upon the demise of Jose g Latta, M,b,4 on March 4th, 101 and sincere condolences to his family, Mirs.

PROVIDING FOR REDEPOSIT OF CONTRIBUTIONS UPON REJOINING CITY WORK FORCE' Mayor Ferre; Take up item number 12 which is amending the Miami City Employees' Retirement System so that employes not fulfilling requirements of Section 91 ray be permitted to payback service to a ma;cimum of four years, Moved by Commissioner Gordon, Is there 4 OeeeAd3 Rev, l.beon; Second, 43 MAR 161977 Mayor Ietret Second by Father dibson, Mr. drassie! Under diacussion, Mr. Mayor, One Of the reasons that t asked the Pinande Director tO give you a brief report this morning vat that you be awate that this kind of proposal has a cause to it and if you want to put that in the context of all other proposals and all other actions that have to do with increasing the Cdat to the City, to the Pension System, t would suggest that you wait until you get that full report within about to weeks. Mayor Pettet You recommend that this item be postponed for.tiwo weeks, Mt. Grassie tt seems to the that that should be considered within the context of overall impact on the Pension System, yes. Mrs. Gordon: 1 would like to speak to this particular item. It affects, exactly, I think, six people. Let me find it. And it has been under consideration for a great period of time. It does not really apply across the Board as the other amendments that are being considered and the Board has passed this unanimously together with the one that follows this one and I recommend that we move forward on these two itents, Any news items that comet certainly they would be considered as separate items but these two have been considered and have been analyzed by the Actuaries and are with the Mares request by a unanimous request. Mr. Grassie: That's right, Mr. Mayor, they have been analyzed by the Actuaries and if you'll look at the Actuaries report, it will indiate to you that the itetn for six people increases the debt of the City by $67,000 nand the next item increases the debt of the City by $102,000 and what I am suggesting to you is that that needs to be put into context with other modifications that you may vish to make to the Pension System. Now t think that one of the things that, just so that we all understand what we're talking about, as long as the City is proposing to make improvements to the Pension System, there are virtually no objections. When you get to the point where you decide that you want to cut a benefit, you're not going to be able to do it unilaterally from the point of view of organized employees. What I'm saying to you is that it's easy to go up in your costs. If you ever have any intention of balancing some of the new expenses with some equally necessary reductions, I'm suggesting to you that you better look at those two things at the same time, that's all. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Manager, I'm not going to dispute your rationale because the rationale is a bargaining rationale but this particular item is not a bargaining rationale when you're measuring six employees and the item before us with 4,000 employees, more or less, in total. I don't consider that a bargaining rationale. If the members are here from the Board and they care to speak to this, speaking from the point of view as I see it and having studied the problem thoroughly and having been personally acquainted with the situation and how it affects these few people... Mayor Ferre: Well, as I understand, the point really is are we going to pass this today or are we going to let the Manager have his two weeks. Mrs. Gordon: Well the Manager wants to have this as a bargaining tool to bargain some other facets which are not (A) easily as bargained because they have to do with Labor Relations and the whole garnet of employee compensation. This relates exactly to six people, this has been under consideration for, I guess, a year or a year and a half till it was worked out in Actuarial studies and everything else was completed. Now if you want to defer it, 1 certainly cannot prevent you from doing that but in all fairness to all people concerned, I believe that this item is not part of the bargaining process that you're referring to. Mr. Grassie: Commissioner, I happen to be in favor of the item but what I'm telling you is that it's easy for you, unilaterally, to increase costs. Now you're talking about $170,000 and it's going to be much more difficult for you to cut costa and all. I'm suggesting to you is let's take a look at the picture so that you know what both sides of the argument are. Mr, Plummer: Mr, Mayor, I have no objections to deferring it for two weeks, I think, really, the only thing we know today what the cost is and I think we're all in favor of it and I think the Manager expressed the same but what he would like to show us is 4 total picture and 1 see no reason why we can't delay it for two weeks and see the whole picture and we know what we're doing, Mayor Ferre; tyre you going to make a motion? 44 MAR 1 977 Mt, Plummer: Mayor Vette: Mrs. Gordon: the toad/ 1'11 make WitiOn to defer for two weeks, that's all. Alright, IA there a second ta the thdtidft tO defer? Would you abject to having Mt, Jerre say something as a member 6E Mayor Vetter NO, of Course not, Alright, let me get Seddadi There's a MeotiOft by Plummer and a second by keboso for a two week defettal, NOW$ Peter, go ahead. Mr, Peter Joffre: I'm concerned with item 13 which belongs to the Plan board and this is an item which really affects, t think, 12 people and it's somewhere along the Ube that the ordinance reads that Ohba you come back and start being employed again by the City, you have 30 days from the time that you were employed to buy the time back. Now only up to about a year and a half ago we did get books out notifying people of the ordinance, This is just something that sits within the ordinance that nobody really knew about and a lot of people wanted to payback but they went 35 or 60 days and never had a chance to pay back and all we're doing by passing this ordinance now is to allow any employee... Mayor Ferret Peter, are you talking about 12 or 13? Mr. Joffre: 13. Mayor Ferre: I' to say anything Thereupon, by Commissioner AYES: 11 recognize you when we get to that. Is there anybody that wants on item 12? Alright, call the roll. a motion to defer was introduced by Commissioner Plummer, seconded Reboso and passed and adopted by the following vote - Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner Rose Gordon Commissioner J. L. Plummer, Jr. Vice -Mayor (Rev.) Theodore Gibson Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. Mayor Ferre: Alright, now on item number 13, Mr. Manager, what is your recommenda- tion on that? Mr. Grassiel This is an item that would increase your debt by $102,000. It falls, I believe, in the same category. Again, it's something that I think that in fair- ness probably should be incorporated into our provisions with regard to Pension Systems. Mayor Ferre: Are you saying that you approve it or that you're asking for a two week deferral or what? Mr. Grassie: I'm saying that it should be deferred for two weeks on the same basis as the first item was. Mayor Ferre: That's your recommendation, alright. Any questions from the members of the Commission? Mrs. Gordon: A question to the Manager. May I? Mayor Fevre; Sure, Mrs. Gordon; I understand you want a two week deferment. I'm not going to vote against that two week deferment as long as it's clearly understood that you don't expect to use this as leverage at that time for whatever else it is that you plan to do. Okay? 0-early understood? Mr, Grassie; Commissioner, my intent is to present to the City Commission a set of alternatives with regard to your Pension System and I will, in fact, not be doing anything' It's going to be up to the City Commission to determine whether you want to increase the obligations of the City in the Pension System or whether you want to take a different tack and it's simply going to be a set of alternatives. Mrs, Gordon; I know what you're attempting to do but you also agreed this morning that y94 could not make any of these Changes until your laborer negotiator had time to go 401044 the bargaining table with the employees on any modifications that would involve the benefits, 45 MAR 1 61977 Mt. Gtassiet That's correct if the madificatiotia are decreased in casts. NOV what is happening in that you are being allowed, unchallenged. to make incresaesl Nat if anybody wanted to challenge this action, anybody in the union wanted to challenge this action. All they would have to do is say that this is a negotiable item and we would not be able to consider it under Plarida State law. We're actually doing something which is outside of the law but the reason we can get Way with it is because nobody is going to object to aft increase. Mrs. Cordons t consider this a housekeeping itea attd not in the sense that you do because of the fact that Mr. Joffre has clearly stated that these few people that are involved under this iteth and the one preceedittg it were riot notified, were not informed or would have acted. 'Thia is a time frame that we're talking about that they could have doge this, it is trot a new benefit, it is simply an ektension of a time frame for these few people that were hot aware of their own ability to obtain this kind of a pay back. I'm willittg to wait the two weeks, in fact, i'11 move the deferment for the two weeks as tong as you clearly understand my position in moving this that it's not part of any package of negotiations as far as I'm eon- terned, t don't know about the rest of you. Mayor Ferre: Alright, Peter, do you want to add anything else? Mr. Joffre: Mr. Mayor, Commissioners, all I want to say is that each time we just keep dragging different ordinances anytime we go back and try to correct the past where wrong has been done and it's going to cost money and the longer we wait, the more it's going to cost and all we're trying to do with this here is to clear up an ordinance that's going to help future employees too, not only the employees we have now but it's going to help future employees. Thereupon, a motion to defer was introduced by Commissioner Plummer, seconded by Commissioner Reboso and passed and adopted by the following vote- AYES: Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner Rose Gordon Commissioner J. L. "Plummer, Jr. Vice -Mayor (Rev.) Theodore Gibson Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. 19. EMERGENCY ORDINANCES AMEND SECTION 1 OF ORDINANCE #84b6 REAPPROPRIATING FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS. Mayor Ferre: An emergency Ordinance on #14. Amending Section 1 of 8466 by reducing certain appropriations to $24.095.38 and reapportioning said funds for social service reserve funding to be used during fiscal year 1976-77. The Manager recommends. Mrs. Gordon moves. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Grassier Mayor Ferre: I want to understand this one a little bit better. Could I ask Mr. Parkins to report to you on this one, Mr. Mayor? Mr. Parkins, on item 14. Mr, Rob Parkins: These are sums of money that were provided in the ordinance of 1975-76 that were not closed out. The agencies affected had subuitted theirclose- out package and these funds were left as incutbered funds and we're simply re - appropriating those so they can be redistributed in this current fiscal year. Mayor Ferre; In other words, what you're saying is that they're not going to spend that money. For example, ,i.R.S,C,A. Hot Meals, instead of $35,000 is spending $25,702? Mr. Perkins; Mayor Ferre it to? Mrs, cordon; That's correct, And therefore you have $24,000 left over. Who are you going to give That's the point. 46 Mt Parkins: Alright, We have, obviously, no shortage of requests and we also Mite aft opportunity under Title VI to match job ptogratts with ttiaterial funding, In any case, any funding redoreetidatitsfis We would take wauld have to dote bsek before this Coils ion. Mayor Ferre: Alright, so in other words it will cote back to us before you ttiaka any funding so do you want to dove it, 'toad? (Mfrs. Gordon: Yes, I'll move it. t just wanted that on the record. Mayor Ferre: It will cone back to us. Mr. Parkins: That's correct. Mrs. Gordon: Let me ask you a question. Has each and every one of these agencies been notified of this action that's being taken today? Mr. Parkins: Yes. Mrs. Gordon: Every agency has been notified. Mayor Ferret Is there anybody here that... Mrs. Gordon: And was there any objection from any agency in this list of agencies? (INAUDIBLE) Mr. Parkins: Yes, Ron, the question was has every agency been advised of this and was there any objection. Mr. Ron Williams: Naturally the agencies are aware of their balances, however, they have submitted their close-out packages to us and therefore we've met our commitment to them in terms of the contract that we signed with them for these particlar funds. They are aware of their balances, however, some of them will be requesting that the funds be reappropriated to them to... Mrs. Gordon: I withdraw my motion, please. Mayor Ferre: The motion has been withdrawn. Ron, now let me understand this. I don't want to have Archie Hardwick coming down here and saying why did you take my $10,000 away, we need this desperately down here... Have we gone through this process of discussing it with the individuals and these agencies as to why we're taking this money away from them? Mr. Williams: Well we're not really taking it from them, Mr. Mayor. We establish a contract with them saying that we would fund them up to a maximum of the amount provided by the City Commission. We have let all of their requests for payment according to their contract and budget that was signed by the City Manager. When that happened, there happened to be some balances left and these are the balances that are... Mayor Ferre: This is for the former fiscal year? Mr. Williams: This is for the former fiscal year, yes, not this fiscal year. Mayor Ferre; Oh, okay, I've got no problem. Why didn't you say so in the beginning and then you could have avoided 10 minutes of discussion here.

Mayor Ferret Giving it back to us, Mr. Flutter: So that we can put the transfer station in there, Mt. Grassie: I guess that's not technically correct. The City, many years ago, agreed to transfer all of its water assets to the Water and Sewer Authority, This particular parcel was never deeded over, The City has been arguing with the water system for a long time about haw much of that property would be left with the City and how touch would be deeded, This is a final agreement which involves their tearing down one of the tanks and providing more space in our Public Works facility, The following resolution was introduced by Commissioner Plummer, who 'oohed its adoption: RESOLUTION NO, 77-223 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER AND CITY CLERK OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, HEREINAFTER CALLED "CITY" TO EXECUTE A DEED TO THE MIAMI-DADE WATER AND SEWER AUTHORITY, HEREINAFTER CALLED "AUTHORITY" FOR THE TRANSFER OF 2.018 ACRES OF LAND, MORE OR LESS, EAST OF N.W. 12TH AVENUE AND SOUTH OF N.W. 20TH STREET ON WHICH THREE WATER STORAGE TANKS ARE PRESENTLY LOCATED, ALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TRI-PARTY AGREEMENT OF MARCH 13, 1975 (Here follows body of resolution, omitted here and on file in the Office of the City Clerk.)

Mr. Plummer: Mayor Ferre: Mr. Plummer; before. Mayor Ferre; the roll. 1 move it. It's moved by Plummer. This is nothing more than implementing the ordinance which we passed It's moved by Plummer, seconded by Reboso. Further discussion? Call Mr, Grassie; It should be pointed out, Mr, Mayor, just for general information, that this has no cost to the City now or at any time in the future, Mayor Ferre: Manager recommends, Mrs, -Gordon: On discussion, Other than the contribution which was agreed to place into that trust fund on behalf of the individuals involved WO? Mr, Grassie; No, w, This is different. This is not a pension system, this is simply an opportunity for an individual to take his money and take it :as deferred 63 MAR 161977 commutation rather than immediately taxed 'mote and the city contributes nothing and it requires no obligation in the future. Mrs. Gordon: Pot clarification and understanding, if you'll forgive me for asking you soMa questions, t would like to knot, is this what would be similar to the tehoe Plan/ Mr. Grassie: Yes, exaetiy. Mrs. Gordon: Okay, but this does not take the dace of, this is an addition to their individual pension system we set up. Mr. Grassie: 'des, it's simply an option, It's like they could decide to save the money in a credit union, for example. Mrs. Gordon: Is this available to all employees or only to certain Classifications? Can any employee become a part of a plan similar to this or the kehoe situation/ Mr. Grassie: Well the employees who are covered by the plan that you adopted about a month ago would be the only ones who would be covered by this particular action. Mrs. Gordon: They are the only ones that could do this? Mr. Grassie: Yes. Mrs, Gordon: No one. else? Mr. Grassier No. If you wanted to include others, you would have to set up some kind of plan for them. Mrs. Gordon: Would we have any objection to anything like that? Mr. Grassie: No. Deferred income is a benefit that costs the employer nothing except maybe whatever it costs to check off on payroll time. Mrs. Gordon: Okay, in your analysis for the next couple of weeks, would you analyze that and see if it ought to be made available to additional employees? Mr. Grassie: Yes. Now it's not related to pension, we understand. ... Mrs. Gordon: I understand. It's an additional retirement setting aside of monies for retirement by specific employees. Okay? I understand what it is but I just wanted to know if other employees could do it.

AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER AND LITY CLERK TO EXTEND FOR ONE YEAR CURRENT LEASE - MIAMI YACHT CLUB. Mts. Gordon: I want to say something, Mr. Mayor, before any tnotions are made. I want to call to the attention of everyone here the fact that in extending a lease on this property, the lease itself speaks to the cancellation of the lease and in that cancellation it speaks to an appraisal of the improvements and the compensation for that if, in fact, it were cancelled prior to the end of the term. In an extension for a year, it is my personal opinion when I read that that that would require, if you wanted to cancel it in six months, for instance, that you would then have to compensate for the improvement, Pirst of all, I would like to say to all of us here that in my opinion an extension of the lease is improper. These pieces of property which we are discussing are public lands and public improve- ments. Now are we saying that we are ready to give to any individuals the use of public property at no cost? Mr. Grassie: Is that a question you're directing to me? Mrs, Gordon: I would like an answer, yes. Are you recommending that we do that? Mr. Grassie: Two points, Commissioner. One, the people who have the two clubs, who have the leases, cannot make improvements without the consent of the City so what the lease says is if the City agrees that they make, say, an investment of $10,000 and then you cancel their lease after six months, that it's reasonable to expect that you would compensate. That's what the lease says. Now on the second part, the City has, for many years now, as you know, had a one dollar lease with these organizations. At this stage, we are not making a judgement and I am not recommending to you that that's a good way of doing business, certainly not. What I am saying to you is that you have had these people on that arrangement for many years and the least that we can do is give them a few months to vacate the property if you, at some time, should decide that they should and that's really the only thing that that lease says. Mrs. Gordon: I would agree with you that there has to be a short time to give them the opportunity to relocate but I do believe that a 30 day cancellation period would do the same thing withoutany ties on the City. Now if you extend this on a 30 day basis, the opportunity is there for you, the City, to take possession of the property which belongs to the City now, the lease expired, all of the improvements belong to the City as I understand it and I've read this lease pretty carefully and if I'm wrong, correct me but 1 think it is absolutely wrong to tie this property up for a full year on any basis other than a month -to -month basis and I would... Mr. Grassie; The property is tied up for six months, Commissioner, Mrs, Gordon: I agree but i also believe that if it were cancelled, if you cancelled that before the year was up, Mr. Manager, I believe that you would have to revert to the terminology in the lease which says that all the improvements would be appraised, not just the additional improvements, sir, but the improvements that have been made and are there at this time. If you're extending this lease, in effect, you're extending all the provisions of the lease and it's in there and i believe it's on page 6. :Mayor Ferre: Look, this is, in my apinif,n, is 4 temps► li. the ►e4pltr . 'hew I recognize that there is an important prier:l pl a wh l r_h l romp 1. t a t y ngr.. with (nmmtas f 4'ms, Gordon, I think, however, from a practical point of view, what warp h+►s1raliy saying is that at this point we really don't have any other use for the area, from a practical point of view, Maybe, perhaps to satisfy everybody, what we ought to do is say that we will give you a one year extension with a 30 day cancellation which doesn't really mean anything but it doesn't mean anything anyway because you're going, to be there for a year, nobody is going to kick you out before that time because there's no reason for that, Now 14 me express the general philosophy of what l sea in this, hook, this community needs people who want to participate in boating 55 MAR 161977 activities. That's one of the assets of this community, it's one of the golden eggs that we have. We're not goitig to kill the goose that lays golden eggs around here, tie want mate boats, trot Idtt4 tie want to entourage boating, we done Want to discourage boating so obviously it's in the best interest of tthia community to have mote boating rather than less AO you're going to have to... Mrs. Cordon! 1 agree with you but... Mayor Verre: tet the finish now and then tall let you have your chance. Mrs. Cordon: As soon es you're finished t'd like to make a eotment. Mayor Terre: I'll let you have the time to talk all you want. I just want to express toy opinion that toe want you people to feel that we're not trying to take away something which is an asset to this community, As a tatter of fact, t'd like to see if we could make it 10 times larger because that's what we deed and I'm heft talking about big yachts for fat cats, t'm talking about boats that ordinary people of all walks of life from all parts of this community can cote and get into their 15 foot or 13 foot Boston Whalers and 18 foot Mackos and 25 foot whatever you have and go out sailing or boating or fishing or what -have -you but I want you to under- stand along with that that it is the Commission's expressed opinion and intention to develop Watson Island. I've heard an awful lot of rumblings about your protests and about the signs that you had made attd all this kind of stuff. Mrs. Gordon: I didn't hear you, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferret I've heard the rumblings of the potential protest from these two yacht clubs against the development of Watson Island and I want to tell you that that is not progressive and I want you to know that it is the intention of this Commission to develop Watson Island. That does not mean that you are going to be kicked out. That does not mean that there is not going to be any place for you. On the contrary I would hope that we would be intelligent enough to utilize your good services and your enthusiasm to improve the boating community of Watson Island so that we can develop boating on the whole north side of the area in which there will be room for you, for the two clubs, and hopefully for fire more clubs if that's possible. If it is not possible and it's overcrowded, well then obviously we can't put more on the island than what the water will hold but I want you to know that I think it's the intention of this Commission to, in a logical and intelligent and businesslike manner, develop that whole northern portion of Watson Island for the boating community. Mrs. Gordon: You didn't understand me, Mr. Mayor. (APPLAUSE) Mrs. Gordon: You did not understand me, Mr. Mayor. I am not saying to remove the boating facility, I am saying enlarge the boating facility. I'm saying make them available for everyone, not only for club members. If there is a spokesperson here who represents either one of the organizations that could answer some questions for me, I would appreciate it. Would someone come to the microphone? I don't need the whole audience... Mayor Ferre: Perhaps we can get each Commodore. Are both Commodores here? Mr. Judge: I'm Joe Judge, Commodore of the Miami Yacht Club and Dick Taylor is representing the Outboard Club and we'd be glad to speak to Mrs, Gordon. Mrs. Gordon; Would you please tell me how a person obtains the privilege of utilizing the club facilities? Mr. Judge: He applies for membership and is accepted, Mrs. Gordon What is the membership fee? Mt. Judge; There's an initiation fee of $1.50,00 which is paid once and then there is dues which works out to $72,00 a year, $6.00 a month, Mrs, Gordon; And bow :many people does that cover? One person or a family? Mr, Judge; A fammiiy. Mrs Gordon; May. Whct if someone ;boon 't hove $150,00 or $72, iQ? 56 AR 16 1977 Mr. Judge: No. I had sotte retatks prepared which address the point you're getting at if f may be permitted to. I was waiting until the resolution teas called because Mrs. Gordon; You're with the Miami Yacht Club, tight/ Mr. Judge: Might. The point t was going to make was that if you don't have the fees, you can't play on the Mel Reese Golf Course either. Mayor Perre: And you can't tide the bus if you don't have a quarter. Mr. Judge: the point is that the people who use the facilities ate bearing the cost of the facilities. The taxpayers, in general, aren't and the City isn't. Mayor I`erret to you make any profit in the cluh? Mr. Judge: Absolutely not, it's a nonprofit organization. Mrs. Gordon: Do you have stalls for them to store their boats there? Mr. Judge: Yes, we do. Mrs. Gordon: What do you charge for that? Mr. Judge: '1 have forgotten the exact scale. It's very inexpensive. We have vet slips that range from about $27 or $26.00 a month up to about $45.00 a month for a few extra -large ones and we have dry storage that runs about $72.00 to $96.00 for six months at a time. It's the most economical way to keep a boat in the Miami area and that's why our membership, this club's structure caters to the middle -income and lower middle -income people and we cater to the people that a commercial marina cannot and does not want to serve. Mrs. Gordon: How many slips do you actually have? Mr. Judge: I have forgotten the exact number. I would say we have about 55 or 60 wet slips and provision for about 120 or 140 dry storage boats. Mrs. Gordon: Do you think it would be unfair for you to pay the City a rental fee for the use of that premise? Mr. Judge: Not at all. We'd be happy to discuss this with the City Manager and come to an equitable arrangement although as I say, I have a couple of points I'd like to communicate but yes, we have considered that possibility. Mayor Ferre: Why don't we permit you to make your statement and then... We'11 hold our questions back until you have finished. Mr. Judge: It might answer some of the points. Mayor Ferre: And then if there are any questions, we'll ask at that time so go right ahead. Mrs. Gordon: What I'm trying to get to is this. We have a marina out here, we're considering this body, the majority of the Commission considered finding an operator and leasing them out and deriving a revenue to the City. I see a dollar a year as no revenue to the City so consequently we can't look at it as a revenue -producing operation and secondly, it deprives people who don't have the funds to come to the facility because they don't have the initiation fee or the yearly dues even if they have the money for the slip which they could have out here or in the other marina that we have and I would like this City Commission to realize that in order to serve all the people of this community, if they have a boat that they can come and rent a slip whether they're a member or whether they're not and therefore, the membership facet of it is what makes it exclusive and what, in my opinion, makes it undemocratic. Mayor Ferre; Alright, Mrs, Gordon, are you finished with your statement now? Okay, let Mrs, Gordon finish her statement and you tell me when you're finished, Mrs, Gordon; The Outboard Club, is the dues structure there the satae, Sr. Taylor? Mayor Terre: Don't answer any questions, please. You make your statement and I will. tell you when you can answer questions. You finish all your statements, ma's, Gordon. Mrs, Gordon, my statements are questions, 5'7 MAR 161977 Maydit Pette! I Will not recognize any questions at this titeif you Want to make StateMtfttss go ahead and make all the stateteftts you watt and tell me when you're finished, Mrs, Gordon: Alright, Mt. Mayor, have it your way, Mayor Ferret Aitight, theft i recognize the CoMthodere to make his statement uniti. terrupted until he finishes Mt, Judge: Thank you, Mr, Mayor, 1 believe that many of Mts. Gordon's questions will be answered, As you know, the recommendatiot is for renewal and we're talking about the item connected with the Miami Yacht Club right now, of our lease for about 4 1/2 acres on Watson Island for a term of one year and we understand and appreciate why the City Manager and the Planning Director made this recommendation and we appreciate the candor and the consideration they've shown in discussing this with us, However, we originally approached him with a request for a simple renewal of the existing lease under which the club has served the City of Miati so well for the past 20 years and we come to you now with that same request, namely that the full lease be renewed. Nov before 1 summarize very briefly the reasons why we feel that this would be in the best interest of the City* I would like to deal with the specific concern that was raised by Commissioner Gordon which is certainly a very valid and important concern. The question was raised, and as I saw it in the paper, the phrase was, "Public Access" and the quotation referred to full public use. I think that for meaningful discussion it might be better to use another phrase because the real question is whether public land is used to serve a valid and worthwhile public purpose. it makes a difference because there is no OF such thing, in reality, as full public use. The minute a piece of land is dedicated to a specific purpose, both public access and public use become limited to some degree. As I indicated, the City has two golf courses but I can't pack a picnic and move my kids and my dog down to the Mel Reese Golf Course. It's limited. It's limited to golfers who pay the fees. And your tennis center is the same way. My son can't use them to practice batting, they're limited to tennis players who pay a fee so there is nothing inherently evil about the idea of limiting public access when the objective is to assure that the land serves a public purpose and my point is this. The facilities of the Miami Yacht Club and of the Miami Outboard, if you don't mind my saying it, Dick, have exactly that same kind of limitation to full public access as the golf courses, the tennis courts and the pools have. The access is limited to those families who are interested in that activity, namely boating, and the costs, like the cost of the golf course and the tennis courts are defrayed by the people who use the facilities and benefit directly. Now this is not a specious argument because the Miami Yacht Club is every bit as open to Miami boating families as the Mel Reese Golf Course is open to golfers. There is a membership fee and there og is dues. They are the equivalent of the greens fees and the court fees. They're the means by which those that use the facilities carry their cost and anyone who tries to say that the Miami Yacht Club is exclusive in the sense that we use this structure to keep people out is simply stating an untruth. I have been associated with this club for more than 10 years and in that time, no applirant for membership has been denied. Mayor Ferre: None? Mr. Judge: None! No Black, no Latin, no Jew, no woman, no applicant has been denied in that time! I make that flat statement. The only requirements are an interest in boating and a willingness to carry part of the cost and the cost is low and this is what speaks to your particular concern about the broadest possible public use, Mrs. Gordon. This low cost is the real assurance of true public access. We provide recreational boating and more activity — , training and things like that. More activity than Dinner Key or Miamarina does at much lower costa. We make recreational boating available to an audience that your own City Marinas can't afford to reach, that we can come down lower and it's because the special character of these clubs and our neighbor club at the Outboard Club is that we bring these cost levels down to where ordinary every day working families can afford it. That's why 1 say these clubs have been, for a long time, serving your particular public purpose, They have been making recreational boating available to families of modest means. Recreational boating that many of them could never afford through any other structure. Consider, as 1 said, a commercial marina or even if the City gets into this business. With ita capital investment, its wages and benefits expenses, its maintenance and administrative costa, there isn't a commercial marina in thts area that can afford to serve the moderate inCOMO, sT0411 boat families that we serve with their small boats and their families. In fact, the Mayor put it right on the head, Almoat every boat in both of these ol4ba, there are a few exceptions but, almost every one is under ,Z5 feet and Most •Of them are under 20 feet, Almost all of them cost leas than the average CAT does nowadays and boating, 1 assure you, especially small boating 58 MAR 1 61977 2 like this, is an iheXpensiVe fathily recreation so these ate hot the rich yachtsmen that fall into the steto-type in so Many people's rands theft they hear the word "acht Club". We are, as a tatter of fact# the last haven Of the sthall boat sailor because they are not welcome ih the todifterdial Matihdas NOW WS long been a stated purpose df the City to encourage the sport of recreational boating1 By operating the way we do with this open membership and these low fees and dues, the Midti Yacht Club and our neighbors help serve this stated purpose of the City. tft feet, we have been So supportive of the City's purposes over the years that even the original lease which is just expiring actually Mentions the term that we Are considered a quAadi public iftstitutioftWe have always worked with the City, City Offitials and we have always intended to -work that way in the future. Now what t'm saying is that we just dontt cote here this afternoon asking for something, were offering you something. You want to take recreational boating available to Miami fatilies of moderate means, there is no better way to achieve this objective than through the sncoutagetent of people like the Miati Yacht Club and the Outboard Club because what would take out place? As Isa1d, commercial marinas don't even want to think of us, The City would get involved in capital outlay, operation, maintenance costs, you already charge more than we do riobt., you already eliminate some people and you have a marina here where there's a three year waiting list. As the people from the Marine Council said to the Metro Commission yesterday, this whole Dade County are is 25 or 2,600 boat storage places short now and we're going to be 5,000 short within a few years. There are many more benefits and I don't want to take too much of your time but I would like to touch on a few of them. Otte of the things which we consider most important is the sailing classes we operate for young people. Any child who is at least 9 years old and can swim may enter, and t mean any child. There is no requirement for club membership. The club pro- vides each child with a small sailboat to learn in, volunteer instructors from the club, we even provide refreshments at the graduation picnic, It's a 5 month course every Saturday and the child's parents pay $10.00 to help defray the cost. Mayor Ferret Any child? Mr. Judge: Any child at all. Not only that, but we contact Jim Martinhoff every - time there's a new class and try to get it mentioned in the Herald so that it will be as widely known as possible because we want to encourage it. We think that it would be better if everybody in Miami sailed, frankly. We do the same for our adult sailing classes. Mayor Ferre: With all due respects to you, we need to move along. Mr. Judge: Okay, I'll try to close it as quickly as I can by just reminding you of one thing. As I said, the Miami Yacht Club is about to reach its 50th anniversary if you let it. Now I saw an implication in a news article yesterday that almost made it sound like we were invaders or squaters on City land and that the facilities we use should revert to the City. Mrs. Gordon: Doesn't it automatically? Mr. Judge: Yes, it does but the only thing is that before we get confused about it, I'd like to watch the meaning of this word "revert". This club was on Watson Island before Watson Island was part of the City. In fact, this club was built on Watson Island when it was a spoil bank, a spoil island. There are men sitting in this room whose sweat is mixed in the mortar of that club building over there because that's how we built it and that's how we keep the costs low. Now when the State conveyed the island to the City, these people went along with that action because they expected fair treatment from a City which recognized the value of their con- tribution to the quality of life in and around Miami. They got fair treatment exemplified in the lease which has just terminated. What they're asking now is that you simply continue that long tradition of fair treatment and recognition of the club's services to the City and the citizens of Miami. That you continue allowing us to serve the City's objective of making recreational boating available for families of moderate means and that you renew the lease under which we have served you so well. You can do that and that's what we ask you to do as we move towards our 50th birthday, (.4PPLAUSE) Mr, Richard Taylor; Mr, Richard Taylor, Attorney, Miami Outboard Club, Of COuse 1 know most °f YPuo I'm happy to say, on a first name basis. 1 can only say Amen to what Joe Judge has said. 1 speak for the Miami Outboard Club, 1 4M 4 member of Many things as you all know, 1 will condense my notes in terms of what you just heard •because it's true, An anticipation of partly what was said, we Made a pre- sentation, 1 am also Director of the Marine Council. At the County Commission 59 MAR 161977 yesterday afternoon We proposed, and they have appointed, a 5,500 'host slip at Homestead, Mrs, Gordon: Will you be given exclusive rights thete too as a club... Mt. Taylor: No, tot tot us, that's just because this County aftd City is so fat behind in Mating and Boat development. Mts. Gordon: No euestion about that. Mt. Taylor: Now I've at with Mr, Oiichrist, 1 understand plans for Watson Patk and if and when they ate securely trade, 1 certainly wouldn't attempt to object to it. However, we provide tight now, for $8.00 a month, keys to prettises, a hoist* privileges to everybody and we have never rejected a tnettber Blaek, While, Colored, Jew or whatever you will say. Right now you cat' dock a boat at out club with electricity, a hose, for $15.00 a month. You can't do it at the Marina for $100 a month because they're falling down. The club just spent $15,000 rebuilding hoist and docks which is forever continual. The reason they can do it is because people that join the club have to work and participate. They do so much group participation... That's true, absolutely, When you join the club, you spend six months of service and if you don't serve, then you get defered until you get your full boating privileges. Mrs. Gordon: You don't have an initiation fee? Mayor Ferre: Come on* Rose, let him finish and then I promise you I will recognize you to ask all the questions and 1 won't cut you off. Mr. Taylor: The Outboard Club freely and voluntarily yearly takes out Boystown, Big Brothers, Boy Scouts, hosted the farm workers when the City gave them the park last year, that's where the tortillas were cooked, in our kitchen. We were glad to do it. Now the things that 1 can talk about are endless. The hoist and the service, we have 63 boat slips in the water and quite a few on land, 1 forget how many. The Orange Bowl Committee originally gave us the lease with the City because when you had the Orange Bowl in the 50's, the Orange Bowl races were in front of the Miami Outboard Club and that's how it started and since then it has only expanded in participation and work. The plans are even now, they want to build a second story on the building which will enlarge our participation. Our meeting halls, we give so much of that now and we're happy to have it. The continual programs are hard to do on a 30 day cancellation basis. The morale of the club would be horrible. Let me touch on the fact of the buildings that are there now. There is no question they belong to the City. That lease just ran out three days ago. You own the buildings and you own the facilities on it, of course you do. There's no question about that, it's not even discussionable. That's in the lease because I helped draw the lease with Lucy Palmer. Now as to asking the club to go ahead with this improvement and this plan with a 30 day cancellation, that's pretty hard on the morale. If you give the club a new lease just like it's had, you've still got a perfect right to cancel six months for a public use and your own projections under the Pritzker conduct, I have the Ettinger reports and I've studied them in the lease and the plans which, of course, is now dead, was a two year projection just for the plans of what they were going to do with the island. There was nothing planned on the north side except a parking lot. Nothing is going to move that fast so I only ask that we be given this lease again on the same conditions and premises` which, protects the City and gives the club the enthusiasm to participate and support projects. Mayor Ferre: Alright, Mrs. Gordon, questioning. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Mayor, your tone of voice is delightful. Mr. Taylor: Commissioner Gordon, I will speak most softly if there is anything you would like to ask me. Mrs, Gordon: No, Mr, Taylor, yours is very pleasant, Do you have an initiation fee? Mr, Taylor; Yes, marn, $100.00. Mrs, Gordon; Do you think the City should have a return on a 4 I/2 acre investment,,,? Mr, Taylor; We discussed that with the City at one time when Mr. Reese Was your representative. He discussed it and it newer get off the ground, He just set up a meeting and cancelled a couple, So did theyacht club start it, as a .matter of fact, It would be feastbfe but I think you would then handicap yourself -tore than you do now, If you charge us a lease and nobody Tnakes a dime in that club, i guarantee you that f15,OQQ that was just spent on two new ,,00ncr'ete and steel hoists was .actual 60 MAR 1 61977 cost and you couldn't get it duplicated for $50,000, That's what you run into in Marinas. We would4 of course, pay a lease but theft we'd just have to up setae Costs somewhere. The money has to come in and it's tight back from your taxpayet'City participant, there's no question about that so of course the land is invaluable in terms of dollars and cents but so is the services of the Outboard Club, POt ekampie, the Bicentennial Parade last July, everybody backed that as you know. The lead boat in that parade was thine with the Liberty Bell on it, The belt 65 decorated boats in that parade were of the Miami Outboard Club. Now you couldn't buy that if you ttied but you've got it available from them whenever you've got a project that you want that's for a good public purpose, Mrs. Gordon: Go ahead, have your fun. It's obvious that there ate four members on this Commission that are not going to pay much attention to any comments that ate mentioned by myself namely regarding the elimination of a Club concept for both parcels and an assumption by the City under the sane Department that rubs ottr Marinas of these two properties and that this responsibility would be under the same Administration, there would be no additional cost, that the same kinds of services that are being offered now could be continued and that you and everyone else here in this room would be privileged to enjoy it and go to it and that there would not have to be an initiation fee, that those who could afford to pay would pay on some kind of a sliding fee scale for the use of the premises and those who could not afford would still have the same rights and privileges of coining there. Mr. Taylor: You did forget one thing. Mrs. Gordon... Mrs. Gordon: This is my feeling, I'm not going to change a single person in this room and I know it... Mr. Taylor: Mrs. Gordon, you did forget one thing. The Outboard Club and the Yacht Club joined and were down here at this City about 6 or 7 years ago getting you to build a ramp for the people... It's been used by the hundreds in the last two weeks with the shrimp run. People have been going in and out of there. Just come down there any night and look. There are endless numbers... Now that big ramp is totally free and anybody that got stuck, we've also got Marine Rescue Service. We've gone out and hauled in people when the Coast Guard looks for them. We do that too, of course we do. Mrs. Gordon: Would you stop using it if the City were the operators? Would you not want to go there? Mr. Taylor: If the City were the operators, you couldn't touch the cost. You can't rent boat slips at $15.00 a month. My boat is not there so I'm not speaking for myself, I live on the river. You can't do it! You can't rent them for $100.00,a month and break even down at Dinner Key and pay for the repairs and maintenance that's necessary. You can't do it! Now when you drive a cadillac, you buy more gas then when you drive a volkswagen. That ramp is free. Hundreds are using it. The ones that can pay $8.00 a month and will help and work and participate in club affairs, projects or whatever it is for the City, the Scouts or anybody else, they can belong to the Outboard Club and they can have a hoist for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They can have the facilities, we welcome them. Mrs, Gordon: The only comment I'm going to make, then the Mayor can do whatever he pleases, he'll do it anyway. Would you agree, as taxpayers of the City of Miami, that we should divide up all of our public lands and allocate it out to different groups and let them do whatever they please as far as developing it? We need Marinas, certainly. Do you think that's the kind of an approach we ought to take or do you think we should just give exclusive privileges of this type CO two particular clubs? What's your opinion on that? Mr, Taylor: Center, Many good for the Parade, Try organizations enough boats you've got. operates it, from Dade Cou no hoist, no Ton years ago It's a combination of both. Certain clubs and facilities, your Tacolcy things the City supports is because they're good for the people, they're City, they're good for the public, Take the 63 boats in the Bicentennial to get them if you don't have the clubs, you can't, or the different that take and do things for the City and support the City, If you had and Marinas, fine, but your plans so far are to cut down on the ones The City can't operate that place for the public Like the Outboard club you can't touch it, it's not possible and the history of every Marina nty's trying to operate Pelican Harbor that went broke and now there's fuel, no docks, they're falling down and nobody will take it over again, they took the lease away from them, 61 MAR 161977 Mrs, Gordon! Well. that cloeSn't say much fot the City, Maybe the city is failing ift that and other respects too so With khdWai Mt, Taylor: It's a Matter Of host and selNiolicing and organ atioft, Mtlik datddht It's true, maybe the City heeds A neg thok$ Mr. Taylor! 'YOU have to hire people to do these things and the clubs donst. They otganite and get out work parties and cleat' the grounds and paint the boats and sctape the wires. Mrs, Gordon; Maybe you taxpayers Ought to think about that. Mr. Taylor: I would submit to this COMissiOh that the lease, as has been in the past, should be renewed. The word "extension", t think, tight -get a little compli- dated. The City is protected and so is the public. Mayor Ferret Alright, tow if 1 may, I think I'm going to take the privilege that others have taken and I'tn going to expound a little bit and tell you how I feel, You and I have seen each other before. We've talked about this going back to 1967 which was the first time we talked about it. I was sitting over there in those days and Athalie Range was sitting over there and Athalie Range and I had some very strong feelings about some of these things, I want to tell you that my philosophy has not changed but I'm a little bit older and I think I've seen something which I perhaps didn't see then and you know we all have a right to modify our positions. I don't knot how many of you were hawks on Viet Nam but I'm going to admit guilty because for many years I thought that we had to go out there and really fight that war and lick those people and save that country and I don't know too many people when they're honest that won't admit the same thing. But as time went on, poor Hubert Humphrey and Scoop Jackson and everybody else ended up changing their minds because they saw different things. I want to tell you that the easiest thing in the world is to destroy, it's easy. The easiest thing in the world is to criticize. The easiest thing in the world is to be a critic, that's easy, we can all do that. It's easy to play up on emotions and take up banners and flags and crusades for real purposes and hidden purposes whatever they may be, that's not hard to do. But let me tell you how I see the logic of this thing. What you've done is constructed, you've built something. You know, the Communists come in and they do a very simple thing. They say, let's take over all the farms and now we're going to divide it in little pieces. And you know what happens? The efficiency of all those farms goes down and instead of having more food for the people, they have less food. I think our system is better. Our system is one where we don't take things away from people. What we do is we say, look, we're going to take this area and open it and we'll help others, we'll subsidize others, we'll give you land, we'll give you information, the f government will help you on how to plat, we'll lend you money so that you can buy the equipment and that's how you build things. Taking a pie and chopping it up into small little pieces doesn't solve anything for anybody. Now what I'm saying, specifically, in your case is this. There was a time when you and I had a difference because I felt that your clubs were discriminatory and you remember when we had this big down here in Coconut Grove and Henry Arrington got into the club and Athalie Range was finally convinced that there was no discrimination. Remember when we had that big public hearing? Mr. Taylor: I remember very well. Mayor Ferre; And we went through all of that? Okay, now I don't think there is any discrimination in your clubs and I think they're open to anybody who wants to join them. Now here's what I'd like to recommend. As we proceed later on in item 28 or whatever it is, 29, that we've got to go about and spend some money in trying to figure out how to service this community, the boating community of Miami. We're not going to do it by knocking you off to take what you've got. If there are 5 more different clubs that want to do the same thing that you want to do and if we've got the space available, we ought to help them, Mr. Taylor; Mr. Mayor, I don't mean to interrupt but I told Mr. Gilchrist that we volunteered the Marine Council's projections. Mayor Ferre; Alright, let me finish now, What I'm saying is this, We should help anybody who wants to form a club, anybody, and WV ought to try to make it because 1"11 tell you, there isn't anybody who can render the value that you do. There is no way the private sector competing for Money can compete with you. there' is no way the City •can do what you do for yourselves because you do it for yourselves and the cost of it, nobody Can compete with that, Whet I'm saying, .edies and gentlemen, is that there's got to be room in this community for everybody and rather than to 62 MAR 161977 teat you down, what we ought to do is ate ought to encoutage you and to ought to encoutage others and we also should build more public facilities tot those people that don't want to join your groups so that they will also have the tamps and the hoists and the wet space and the dry space and all the other spaces heeded. What I'm saying in simple words is that the solution to out shortage isn't our needs, it's not going to be solved by knocking you out but tether by assisting you and others who want to do the same thing and that's... In ether words, what we should be doing is looking towards things in a positive way instead of looking at things in a negative way. Now I want to take this as an example to teat -id you and other Members of the public that sometimes this coat$unity has the bad habit of getting into negative syndromes. We can always tattle off all the teasons why we're against something and it becomes awfully hard to explain sometimes why we're for something and i think it's long overdue that we take the positive apptoach to things, not the negative approach and therefore, I want to say to you that I conntnetid you for your efforts, I want to support you as much as I can within reason, I want to encourage others to do what you've done with your work and your dilligence and I hope we can see the day here in Miami where we'll have 10 of these clubs operating and that we'll have 100 ramps and that we'll have 4 or 5 public hoists and that we'll have storage facility for anybody who wants to have a boat in this community and the way to do it is by thinking positive and not negative. (APPLAUSE) Mts. Gordon: Mr. Mayor, it's not a negative feeling to allow the City of Miami to operate its own property. That is a positive approach. That is the only logical approach to consider dividing all the public lands on the water for individual groups of clubs is absolutely the most astonishing approach to public property I have ever heard in my whole life. Mayor Ferre: Is that what you're recommending? Mrs. Gordon; What you're recommending, sir. Mayor Ferre: No, you put that word in. You asked this gentleman whether that was his recommendation. Mrs. Gordon: You just said so. You said, clubs..." would like to see a proliferation of Mayor Ferre: Yes, I would. Mrs. Gordon, I would like to see as many people in this community who love boating and want boating to do the same thing that these people have done. I think it's just terrific that they're able to render the kind of service that nobody else can render for the amount of money, the value that they render. Now my only concern is that if anybody ever comes here and proves that they tried to get into the club and it was not open, then as far as I'm concerned, we've got a whole new baligame but that not being the case, I think that we have room in this community, this community is big enough to have 150 foot yachts and 100 foot yachts and big rich marinas and little marinas and private marinas and public marinas and completely no -expense type of places and there ought to be room for people like you who render a service where dollar for dollar you can't match. As long as it's open to everyone in this community who wants to use that, I couldn't possibly find a better solution and I think there's room for everybody and I want to tell you that as you read the newspapers and hear all the negative stuff and all this, just keep in mind that this City is, no matter who tries to stop it, we're going to stay on a positive basis, we're going to move forward, we're going to accomplish things, we hope that you'll help us, we hope that when we develop Watson Island that there will be room for you and for others and that there will be public facilities there open to members of the public who are willing to pay and as a matter of fact, Mr. Manager, I am going to make a motion if nobody else does, after we pass this or after this goes down in defeat, that the first priority be given to a public facility on Watson Island that will be open to anybody who wants to pay the going fee on a cost basis. Now I know it will be much more expensive for the service these people render but whoever wants to go and use that public facility, we ought to make it available so that anybody can use it without having to join, there's plenty of space out there to do that. Alright, anybody else want to make anymore statements or questions? Mr, Plummer; The only statement that I would like to make to both of the parties here,,. Have you looked at item 29? Mr, Taylor; 1 have, Mr. Plummer; Have you seen the dollar figure? 63 MAR 161971 Mr, Taylor: Yes, sit, Mr, Plutniner: The City could use some help. Mr. Taylor: The Marine Council volunteered yesterday to the County Commission, t told Mr, Gilchrist that the facilities, Mt. Greenleaf is the Marine architect to the Board, we projected, loose projection, of course, nothing fit, a 250 boat slip on the north shore of the island, Watson Park. That didn't even but equivicate what you've already got and your plans were to teat down what you've got, They were just going to raise that for openers. That's when I really did get pretty hot against the project. It should be much bigger. t talked to Mr, Gilchrist about it and we'll be glad to come back and plan a pier 66, if you will, something up there to the water where it should be. Mayor Ferre: No, we don't want any pier 66. Mr. Taylor: Well in terms of size and boat slips. So much more should be done than was even talked about for projecting a 250 boat slip. Mr. Judge: If I could add something, in the course of our discussions I submitted a first draft of a rough plan to the City Planning Director, Mt. Foesman, which showed how if you utilize these clubs as instruments of your policy and that's really what we're talking about, Mrs. Gordon, not giving everybody in the City a piece of land to do with what they will but deciding what City policy is and then allowing instruments to carry it out for you at no cost to you at all. If you allow the clubs to be instruments of your policy that way, we can, within 5 years, on a phase plan, provide you with facilities for more than 500 boats at lower rates than you can afford to put in. Mayor Ferre: Amen. Mrs. Gordon: It would be my personal opinion that the proper approach to the kind of developments that the City needs, including those are now the City's through virtue of your development over the past 20 years, ought to be by way of a water recreational authority. This kind of an authority being similar to the Off -Street Parking authority where the monies generated would be fed back into the pool, operation would be on a somewhat professional basis but on the other hand it wouldn't be totally free but it would be totally accessible to all. There would be no dues from the standpoint of dues and there would be no initiation fees from the standpoint of initiation fees and there would be no Board of Directors or Presidents and all the rest of the structure that goes along with private clubs. Now that would be my personal opinion and that's the way I'd like to see the City proceed to enhance all of the waterfront areas that we have and we have more than any other City that I know OF of up and down the coast that has the kind of climate that we have that can utilize it all year around. Mr. Taylor: A similar resolution was made and adopted after our presentation at the County Commission yesterday. Mayor Ferre: Good for you. Mrs, Gordon: Well I didn't hear it, I didn't know anything about it but it's a positive approach to the whole problem of water sports. Mayor Ferre: I'd like to say that I personally feel that whenever the private sector can accomplish something to serve the public, as long as there are guidelines and protective measures, the public is usually much better served when you have indi- viduals putting in their own time and effort and sweat and when you get government agencies who come out and do it beaurecratically with a lot of big salaries, with all due respects, and a lot of expenses and what have you. I think when you get people.,. You know, we're always complaining around here about lack of people participation in things. Tanny Dean comes here and says, you know, all these beaurecrats come here and they make all these decisions on our lives, Why don't you let the people make decisions? Well here you have a people project where people do things for themselves and we're going to kill that? I ask you, Now it just doesn't make any common sense and it seems to me that we really should be encouraging everybody who wants to become involved in this boating community and this boating process,' (APPLAuSE) Mayor Ferre; Anybody else who wants to say anything? We've had enough talk from members of•.. 64 MAR I 61977 Mts. Gordon: t3o4 go ahead, I'll listeb tO you. (INA1thtBLE) Mra. Gordon! What about Saturday? (MUMBLE) Mayor Fetret Look, Cotttiodore, we can get into an argument ail day. YOU watt to get an atgutttent7 I'll tell you what you do. Let's take it to the tteXt level. Let's take it to the next conclusion. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Mayor, make your motion and let's go on the next item. Mayor Ferret No, I want to ask you a question publicly now because there are ti,10 clubs, the Coral Reef Yacht Club and the Biscayne Yacht Club... Mrs. Gordon: They own the land, Mt. Mayor. Mayor Ferret They do not own the water, they rent the water at $1.00 a year from the City of Miami. The baybottom lands belong to the City of Miami. Mrs. Gordon: Well I take exception to that. I've said it in the past and I'll say it again. Mayor Ferret As I understand it, the baybottom land belongs to the City of Miami. IMO Is that correct? Mrs. Gordon: That's right. The water.... Mr. Taylor: Now subject to the Department of Natural Resources in Tallahassee. Mayor Ferre: Well we could take this to all kinds of extremes and say that those people should also open up the club to the public. Mrs. Gordon: They own the upper land and they do not own the baybottom and they have the right of the baybottom by virtue of the City's generosity which does not mean the City has to continue. Mayor Ferre: Okay, I'm just saying that if you're going to take it to the natural conclusion, then it's a lot more than the Miami Yacht Club and the Outboard Club here. Okay, let's see what the will of this Commission is. The following resolution was introduced by Commissioner Gibson, who moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 77-225 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXTEND THE ATTACHED LEASE AGREEMENT WITH THE MIAMI YACHT CLUB FOR A ONE YEAR TERM, EXPIRING MARCH 12, 1978, DURING WHICH 'TIME THE CITY WILL PREPARE AN OVERALL DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE EVENTUAL COMPLETE DEVELOPMENT OF WATSON ISLAND.

For the same reason that this is City property, producing no return to the City and for the reason being that it is operated and occupied by private interest, private clubs, I vote "no". Mr. Ongie: Mayor Ferre? Mayor. Ferre: In voting, I want to, for the record, say that from a practical point of view we're not going to do anything with that land over this next Year anyway. Number 2, I think it's essential that we encourage boating in this community. Number 3, these two clubs render a service which cannot be rendered by either the private sector making a profit or by government and that they render an effective, efficient service and number 4, in view of item 29, coming up in which we are going to be spending some money to broaden and increase the boating facilities in this community, therefore I vote "yes" on item 28. 314, AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES FoR FUTURE MARINA D VELOPMENI, Mayor Ferre: Okay, take up item 29.

Cott bick, come on back here, COMMiSSidher °brawl and previously Comisaioftet nutter had asked whethat Or not you would have any interest in participating in this study, in other words, raising part of that S15,000, Mt, Judge: One of the first things i'd like to Say is if COMthiasiefter Gerddn is interested in keeping boating low cost so that more people tan participate in it, theft adding to the cost of the club is MA the Way to do it, This Club and the Outboard Club operate holding every cost to the tinittm, Now Ve don't have a pot of Money, If you Want money from us, we go to our thethettle That raises the cost of boating and the next thing you know, it Will be as expensive to boat at Miami Yacht Club as it is at Dinner Rey, We are keeping it low cost. NOW we certainly want to cooperate ih this kind of a study but we ate not rich peopleo t can't seem to get that across to you) and we keep the cost of boating low. If you say you Want rent and you Want contributions, that's going to raise the cost, Mayor Ferre: This is people boating, not fat cats. Mr. Taylor: Mr. Mayor, I would be flattered and happy to participate in any such project. Mayor Ferre: Well, Dick, obviously this is on a voluntary basis. Any of the members that feel that they would add to the general welfare of the boating community by participating, t think it would be a great sign of good faith and good will if you kind of passed the hat around and get a little kitty going on a strictly volunteer basis to show that you are interested in helping the City of Miami expand its boating facilities. Mr. Taylor: Well I have some knowledge, I have 47 years of local residence and boating and I'm on more committees than you'd want to hear about and I'd be happy to participate. Mayor Ferre: And I might add that this might also be volunteered time. Mr, Taylor: 1 don't mind that. In this instance, I'm happy. The following resolution was introduced by Commissioner Plummer, who moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 77-227 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH A PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICE FIRM TO ASSIST THE CITY IN PREPARING STRATEGIES AND PRIORITIES FOR MARINA DEVELOPMENT, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $15,000; ALLOCATING FUNDS FROM THE 1976-77 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUNDS.

Has it been prepared, Mr. Knox? Mr. Grassie: The resolution that you have in front of you, Commissioner. • • Mrs. Gordon: Where is it? I don't have it. Mr. Grassie: You had one in your package. Mrs. Gordon: Well that was incorrect. Mr, Grassie: We need to talk about how you feel that's incorrect. The resolution in your package covers an audit of the bonds and C.D. monies. Mrs. Gordon: I have it now. It wasn't in the book that way and now I have the correct one. Mr. Grassie: No, what you have is different, Commissioner. What you have in front of you has added to what was in your package which covered Perks for People Bond funds and C.D. monies. It adds to it City and County monies' I'm pointing this out to the City Commission so that you understand what Commissioner Gordon has asked for which is reflected in this modified resolution which has just been handed out to you. It not only covers C.D. and Parks for People monies but it also covers City and County monies. Mrs. Gordon: It covers any monies that the City has received that has been put into place to purchase land or improve it for parks, That's what it says. So that a true picture of what the City has provided for the citizens of the City of Miami, either through their own three sources or the resources of the County are being audited and it's necessary in order to get a total picture, Mr, Plummer; But Rose, on the other hand, are we really going to get a true picture? For example, are we Wog to get a true picture of how bad the County has mleabused the City to the parks,,, What was that big M0,000,"? 79 MAR 161977 Mr, Grassie: Mt, Plutmnett Mrs. dordow Mr, Plummer: Mrs. Gordon: not, which... becative progress, becative progress, We're tot talking about that. Well, t think that's the whole picture. If they spent any money in the City, it would show but if they did Mr. Plummier! Which they have not. Mrs. Gordon: Then it won't show. Mt. Plumber: See, because when you say spend money in the City, Vizcaya is in the City but they derive any income from that. I'm just hopingthat when you start drawing pictures and you want a whole picture, that the whole picture is in... Mrs, Gordon: Well let me tell you what I'm talking about, J. L., so you won't think there's something mysterious about the request. The Riverside Church property was purchased half and half, City and County. Now it should show that. The City didn't do that one alone and I think it's necessary to show that part of that's going to become a park and it ought to be shown that there is going to be a piece of that property devoted to parks. Okay? I have no ulterior motive in this if you're looking for one, I simply want a clear picture of where we are. Mr. Grassie: I should advise you that Peat -Marwick doesn't know that we've added this piece of work. Mrs. Gordon: They have discussed it, they have talked... The gentleman that does the talking knows that the County is in that part of it, at least he indicated that he understood that. Are you saying now that there will be a change in the price? Is that what you're concerned about? Mr. Grassie: Well I think that they felt they got a little bit sandbagged the first time around. Mayor Ferre: Well we're only auditing the City of Miami funds, we don't have anything to do with anything else. Mrs. Gordon: Well the money we received in the City of Miami under... Mayor Ferre: Look, let me understand auditing the County, we're just going ment, we're going to audit the monies right? Mrs. Gordon: Receive, that's right. this properly. We cannot get involved in to audit, or the State or the Federal Govern - we, the City of Miami, receive. Is that Mayor Ferre: Through the City structure. Mrs, Gordon: Then you might as well save your $5,000 because you don't know what you're doing and the ultimate results will be that you do not have 4 clear picture. You don't know... You know, you've spent money from Community Devleopment funds to buy parks. Let's not kid ourselves. And you have also spent some of the County's money in the same way and you might as well know what we've got, When we're through with this, I've asked the Manager to put this all out on a map showing,.. Mayor Ferre: You know, I can't disagree with that, that's reasonable. Mrs. Gordon: Okay. Mayor Ferro; What she's asking for is the sources of money that have been expended for properties and there's no question that we've gotten County Community Development funds. Mrs. Gordon: The purpose is Mayor Ferro; That's not a big deal, Mrs, Gordon: Thou the poeple will know because we're going to lay it out. We've got parks here and here and here and here and it won't show up unless we do it total audit. 0 MAR 161971 Mayot Fette t I don i t think there ate any hidden Agendas it this. There's nothing really.., Mt, Grassier I just ttant you to understand whatever IS lh front ot yeu arid try to make sure that you understand what it is, Mayor Ferret Do you have any objections to it? Mr, Grasse No. You need to know what it is that you;te adopting, you heed t know that Peat --Marwick doesn't know what we're asking them to do for $5,000,,, Mayor Ferret Well, look, if you have any problems, come back, Mt, Manager, and tell us about it.

(SPANISH STATEMENT) Mayor Verret You know what the question is. As 1 utidetstand it, Mr. Calvo has been getting what? $5,000? (SPANISH STATEMENTS BETWEEN MAYOR AND tit. CALVO) Mayor Petre: He received other payments in previous years tot publicity but last year he received a $4,000... (SPANISH STATEMENT) Mayor Ferre: In the budget we discussed 5 and he wants to know what happened to his other 3. Mr. Lew Price: Let the enlighten the Commission on this a bit. Two years ago, he appeared before the Commission and he sought 5 and the Commission granted hint 2 but at that time, Mr. Plummer discovered there was some money left over from a boxing fund and he trade a motion to give him an additional $2,000 so he got a total of $4,000 and he was paid for. This year he came back asking for $5,000, the Commission voted him $2,000. We were trying to work out the other $3,000 but the dollars simply aren't there. The Publicity Department, like all others, had to cut back everything, we've cut back every item back. Mayor Ferre: I guess the question to you is this. I don't know how many of these things Mr. Calvo puts out but it's quite substantial and it's a directory and I imagine it has a certain value in the Latin community and especially in the tourist community it comes in and I recognize that we do have limitations. You don't think that we can do anymore than we've done. Mr. Price: Well, Mr. Mayor, we've cut back all the other publications and he is the only one we haven't touched. The Commission voted $2,000 and the $2,000 is still there and it's available to him. Mayor Ferre: Anybody want to ask any questions or make any statements? (SPANISH STATEMENT BETWEEN MAYOR AND MR. CALVO) Mayor Ferre: Tony told him that the County participates with our $2,000 because that's 1/3 theirs. Is that correct? Mr. Grassie: Well only in the sense, Mayor, that they do fund specific things but this is not one that I'm aware that they take any credit for. Mayor Ferre: Well what you ought to do is you ought to send Tony a bill for 1/3 of this. Mr. Price: Pardon me? Mayor Ferre: You ought to send him a bill for 1/3 since they say they participated. Mr. Price: 1/3 of $2,000? Mayor Ferre: Sure since he told him that that's what they get. That's what he gets so that's what they ought to be billed' for. Either that or they should give you $1,000. Mr. Price: Mayor, this is actually a priority or trade-off. The County will do something, the City will do something else and it balances out strait down the line which you can't do. Basically, the City of Miami benefits more t; tan anyone else, We just don't have the dollars, that's ail, (S1ANISh STATEMENT BETWEEN MAYOR AND MR, CALVO) Mayor Ferre; Would you repeat that again? Nobody else has been getting any,.. All the subsidies that we have been giving, the publications and all that have been cut, right? Ail the advertising,,. Mr, Price; This is the only one that remained in tact, MAR 16 1977 (SPANISH STATEMENTS BETWEEN MAYOR AND MR, CALVO) Mayor Perre: ...the agency cannot advertise, Is the agency advertising? Mr, Mice: That's where the Money is coining from (SPANISH STATEMENTS BETWEEN MAYOR AND MR, CALVO) Mayor Ferret Does anybody else have any ideas or any further thoughts on thit/ Mr. Plummer, do you have any boxing money or anything? (INAUDIBLE) Mr. Price: He's the one who found the $2,000 last year. Mayor Ferre: Alright, then there's nothing we can do about it. (SPANISH COMMENT MADE TO MR, CALVO BY MAYOR) Mayor Ferret Let's keep our eyes open and if there's any monies that cote out of the Boxing Program or anything where we could supplement this. I happen to thitlk it's a very important service to the community so I think it's justified that we don't have the money. Mr. Price: Mr. Mayor, we support it every year. Mayor Ferret Yes, I know. Thank you. 61, DEFERRAL OF PERSONAL APPEARANCE: DR, BERNARDO GENES, Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Mayor, do you know what Mr. Benes was going to bring up or don't you? Mr. Grassie: Oh, I'm sorry. He called yesterday and would like to put that off so that's cancelled out. Mrs. Gordon: Oh, do you know what his subject was? Mr. Grassie: No. 61. MISCELLANEOUS DISCUSSION 1, CONTRACT WITH MIAMI DOLPHINS; ITEMS:2. POLICING OF BICENTENNIAL PARK; 3, ST-TO-COAST AIRLINES FARES; ATION TO AIR rLORIDA, Mr, Plummer: Mr. Mayor, let me ask a question to the Manager. Mr. Manager, I assumed, and I hope that I did not assume wrong, that the other day what we agreed with Mr. Robbie was in principle and that a written document would be forthcoming to this Commission for approval as norms', Mr. Grassie: Oh, no question about it. Mr. Plummer: It will be presented to us in ordinance force. Grassie: Oh, yes, no question about it. Mr. Plummer; That it is not legal until such is done. Mr. Grassie; No question about it, of course. Mr, Plummer; Okay, and I'm not raising that because I have any problems, it's just the idea that I assumed that it was in principle, Mr, Grassie, Sure, Mr. Mr, Plummer; Q1ay, Unfortunately the press didn't leave, Mr, Manager, 1 said I''d bring back up at a later time, and please, I'ca not finding fault with the Police 83 MAR 191977 PepartMent. 1 went down last night and personally walked through the Mee:gen:tie/. Park and t'Ve got to tell you, it's A gorgeous park, it really is 1was Well pleased with the results, I started walking it at sundown and 1 walked out, it wad at night* Mayor Petrel Why did you do that? Mr. Plummer: 1 went to inspect item 170 if you want the honest truth, which you didn't do. Mayor Verret t was the guy that was chasing you when you started to run, tit, Plummer: No, you're the guy that the problem that t":11 going to bring up. Mr, Manager, look, t know the Police Department has got their hands full with the drunks but I've got to tell you, I counted 9 drunks sleeping in the park. It is conclusive for good, "please- cote use the park" type of attitude. Now t don't know whether you can tut them oft the other side of the boulevard, because t know the problems the police department has. They're taking thet in and they're turning them right back out again but if we can't get them to do no more than get them over on the other side of 2nd avenue, it's just bad. (INAUDIBLE) Mr. Plummer: i'd love to put them on Kenny Meyer's doorstep, really, but I just think something has got to be done and unfortunately they won't sleep in the back, they're sleeping right up at the Biscayne Boulevard where it's fully cognizant to the public. I'm just bringing this to your attention. All t'm saying is that you have got to maybe run the west coasters through and backfire them a couple of times to wake them up. Believe me, I have seen and I am fully cognizant of what the Police Department... Their hands are tied completely but I think we've got to do something where we can open this park up and make it condusive in any way possible. Mayor Ferre: Do you want to add anything? Mr. Don March: Yes, sir, just for your information and in defense of Police officers in general on the street, the problem is that in the misdemeanor area, the require- ment has been imposed by the State Attorney's Office here in Dade County to come forth with a complaining witness, a private citizen, the Police Officer cannot be the complaining witness in disorderly intoxication cases. It does us no good other than to tie up a police officer to take that person in only to have him released immediately and not prosecuted. It's an item of frustration for the police officers on the street. W. Plummer: Maybe then it's not the idea of putting the police... I'm not trying to say who should do it, maybe the west coasters need to run around these guys and make little circles until they get up and walk out and leave. There's more than one way to attack a problem. Give him a bottle of wine over on second avenue, I don't know what the answer is but it's a bad site when you drive down a boulevard and you see these drunks sleeping all over the front. So I'm bringing it up for what it's worth. The other item, Mr. Mayor, that bothered me that I wanted to bring up today, in this morning's paper it was shown where they are approving a very, very low cost fare from the east coast to the west coast. I think it's about $220.00 to fly from New York to Los Angeles or San Francisco which, in the past, has been $450.00 or in that neighborhood and you know as well as I do what they're trying to do is to encourage the people from New York and up in that area not to come to Florida but to come to California. We contribute to the Traffic Association. I would like to pass a resolution here today urging the Greater Miami Traffic Association to take cognizant very well of this fact to do whatever they can to get the appropriate low fares to the Miami area as well as to the other areas of the United States and I offer that in the foem of a motion. The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Plummer, who moved its adoption, MOTION NO, 77.252 A MOTION URGING THE GREATER MIAMI TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION TO INTERCEDE, PROMOTE AND PO ALL WITHIN ITS POWER TO HAVE AIR. FARE LOWERED IN AIRLINES FLYING FROM MIAMI TO THE WEST COAST, AS HAS RECENTLY BEEN THE CASE WITH AIRLINES FLYING FROM NORTHEASTERN CITIES TO THE WEST COAST WERE THE FAA APPROVED A LOWERING IN THE PRICE CT THE ATR-FARE, 84 MAR 1 61977 Upott being seconded by COMMisigidnet Gibson, the iotid t was passed attd adopted by the fallo4ittg vote AYES: Cotntnissiottet Manolo Reboso CoM iissionet ,t. t.

I think that's great and I think they ought to be cotnnteitded. The following :notion was introduced by Commissioner Gordon, who ttoyed its adoption. MOTION No. 77-253 A MOTION OF COMMENDATION TO AtR FLORIDA FOR ITS PARTICIPATION IN A PROGRAM OF TRANSPORTING STUDENTS TO TALLAHASSEE DURING THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND REQUESTING THAT AN APPROPRIATE PLAQUE AND LETTER BE SENT TO THE PRESIDENT OF AIR FLORIDA FOR HIS GESTURE, Upon being seconded by Commissioner Plummer, the motion was passed and adopted by the following Vote - AYES: Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner J.

Ferre NOES: None, 63, MOTION OF INTENT: PERMIT USE OF THE ORANGE BOWL STADIUM FOR PROPOSED FREE CONCERT BY RADIO STATION 9 i-X Mayor Ferre: Mr. Como, did you work out your problem? Mr. Como: Yes. Mayor Ferre: Where do we stand? Mr. Como: Yes, sir, we worked with one of the Assistant City Attorneys to put together a resolution and... Mayor Ferre: Do we have the resolution? Mr. Grassie: We have two questions, Mr. Mayor. One is a discussion of our legal status by the City Attorney and the other is a staff report. Mayor Ferre: Well what is the recomnenciation specifically of the City Manager at this point? Mr, Grassie: I think first I want you to have background from Mr. Jennings and then I will make a specific recommendation if I can, Mr, Mayor. Mayor Ferre: So you don't want to cone to any conclusion today? Mr. Grassie: Oh yes, sure. Mayor Ferre: Well let's do it, Come on, Mr, Jennings, let's wove, Mr, Bob Jennings: Thank you, Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission, I had originally understood this item was going to be on the 24th so most of my notes are at the office but I have made some hurried notes here, First let me say that so I don't get the reputation of being negative as l seem to have on occasion, I'm not opposed to this event, The way 1 look at my department, the function of My department and the operation of city facilities, I see my function as one of Producing revenue from the use of these facilities, I have no obSecti.on to the 85 MAR 161977 061 event) 1 am jot of the opinion that they ought to pay tent, 1 had a visit about two week§ from Mt. Zachary Of 065=16651a COrporatiOn who told Me that they were going ta financially back this event, 1 di use with Mr. 2achary just how the rental would be paid because aa Mt. Coto has mentioned earlier, they do not intend to charges.. Mayor Perrot Mr. Jenninga, come tight to the point. Are you eying that you don't recommend that we proceed with thin because you think we ought td charge rent? Mr. denningst Yea, air, Mayor Perrot Alright, thank you very much, Anything else? Mr. Plummer: Well I have to have clarification on that now, Is the clarification this. Mr. Jennings, are you saying that the bonds prohibit us from doing it or that you don't recommend it, Now that takes a difference. Mr. Jennings: Well t don't, to be frank with you. 1 think you're setting an unfortunate precedent if you give the Orange Bowl away free because I'm working with another party right now who wants to put on a similar eVent, it won't be free of admission charge but I feel sure that if we give it to Mrb Coma free, this gentleman will be in here next. Alright, Mr, Knox should answer the other question. It is my opinion that because of the bond indentures, the stadium cannot be given free. Mr. Plummer: If that's the answer , then it's all over. Mr. Jennings: Well I think Mr. Knox had better answer that question, Mr. Knox: The language of the bond indenture ordinance prohibits the City from reducing the rents or waiving the fees associated with the use of the Orange Bowl. Mayor Ferre: Well why didn't you say that in the beginning? We could have saved a lot of time. Mr. Knox: That's what the letter of the ordinance says. This Commission has established in the past, as I understand it, a precedent whereby the Orange Bowl was used by an organization with a charitable motive, , Harold Foward's thing, where a nominal rent was charge on one occasion so there is a precedent. (INAUDIBLE) Mr. Jennings: To clarify that, that was the Fourth of July Fireworks Show. The proceeds from the admission to that went to the Harold -Linda Hann Fund. Of course it is a non-profit organization and is charitable. Even though the 96X will not realize any profit from the admission to this event, they will realize profit from the publicity that they will get from it so profit, you do have a different situation in my estimation. (INAUDIBLE) Mr. Jennings: Well, yes, it's a minimum and it's $350.00 but it's still a minimum. (INAUDIBLE) Mr. Jennings; Yes, sir, we did. We have a resolution still on the books. (INAUDIBLE) Mr. Grassie; We seem to have lost track of the fact that this is not money -making through the turn style, this is money -making through advertising, it's a different kind of an approach. (INAUDIBLE) Mr. Como; Sir. there is no money.pmaking through advertising. The two co-sponsors of the event, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Coke, are not going to get any extra advertising. They have already spent advertising dollars on the radio station. There is no advertising dollars that we're going to derive and ahoy profit. We worked on a resolution, al the proceeds, that if there are any, any of the net profits from the sate of souveniers or from the sate of programs, bail go •directly to the City. We don't want any profit. We're giving WINO free tickets SW to the underprivileged. We're going to have a special section to them throughout the oir 86 MAR 161977 area so they can see the toncett fitst hand, There is hothitig to tote itedit in this whole thing, Mrs, Gordon! HOW do you get back your out-of-pocket a ense? Mr► Como: Through Cake and through kentucky hied Chicken, to ate paying for the rock acts,,, Mrs. Gordon: They pay for it you mean? Mr, Cam: Yes. Mrs, Gordon: And how do they get advertised? That's, l think, what the 4uestiott Was, Mr, Como Through the radio station there will be about 200 promo announcements a week promoting the event and along with the event will be Tab, Mrs, Gordon: Row many kids do you think you will get down there? Mr. Como: We expect to have 55,000 young people there and if you can consider the fact that each one will spend one dollar on a hot dog or a coke, there are 00,000 in revenue.. Mrs. Gordon: I'm not opposed to you, I just want information. I want to ask you, do you think there might be any damage to the turf? That might be a consideration. Mr. Como: We will abide by.. Mr. Grassie: You're asking Mr. Jennings? Mrs. Gordon: Yes or I'll ask you, I don't care who answers me. Mr. Como: We will abide by all of the restrictions that you have. Mrs. Gordon: We don't have that live turf now so that's the reason I'm asking it. Mr. Como: I can't see any damage to the ground area whatsoever. Mr. Jennings: Mr. Como, is it going to be festival seating? Are the people going to sit on the field? Mr. Como: No, they're going to sit in the stands. Mrs. Gordon: They're going to sit in the stands? I think this is a worthwhile project that will bring young people together at a no cost basis and you're guaranteeing we won't have any damages, is that right? Mr. Como: Well we'll have the necessary insurance to cover the criteria that... Mayor Ferre: Mrs. Gordon moves and Plummer seconds. Further discussion? Mr. Grassie: Well could we understand what's being moved, Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferre: Yes, I'll tell you what's being moved. That these people be allowed to use the Orange Bowl for the following conditions: That they pay for police; electrical cost, insurance, repairs, maintenance; that they post an appropriate bond satisfactory to the Administration to cover ail of this... Mrs, Gordon: And return the facility in the same condition, Mayor Ferre: And that it be returned in the same condition and the basis for it is that there is a tremendous amount of positive publicity which does not have a dollar value which inures to the benefit and well-being of the City of Miami, Mrs, Gordon; And the young people will benefit,,, Mr. Grassie; Can I understand,,, Mayor Ferre; We're going to be paid by goodwill, Mr, Grassi.e: I hope you don't expect me to make your budget next year on that basis, 87 MAR 161977 Mts. Gordon: Now doi't anybody here talk about the budget. Woe just gave 4 1/2 acres of land for nothing so let's not talk about that:. Mayor Petro: What? its. Cordon: 4 1/2 acres of land without any renumetatiott. Okay, so anybody who is talking about that, let's not talk about that. Mr. Cotao: gy the way, one of the things that we agreed to do is to stake a full accounting, when this is over with,.. Mayor Vetre: Well I just want you to understand that this is not going to cost the City of Miami one nickel.. Mr. Coto: That's correct. Mayor Terre: They've got to pay for any out-of-pocket expenses. Mr. Como: That is our full understanding. Mrs. Gordon: And we get it back the way it is, that's a11. Mayor Ferre: That :Weans cleaning, painting, the bathrooms have got to be clean. Mr. Como: We understand that the bathroom... Mayor Ferret You've got to pay for the electricity and the police and it doesn't cost us a cent. Mr. Como: Now I would like to ask you, sir, if you would like, because I know it is very difficult to convince kids sometimes that a City organization does any- thing for them, we will be happy to announce on the stage that this is being brought by all the people plus the City of Miami and anybody else. Mrs. Gordon: Well we appreciate that because the City is a contributing factor to that. Mr. Como: Well I think that if you let us have this stadium free of charge, I think you're just as much a contributor as we are. Mayor Ferre: Yes but I want you to mention it not just one time in the beginning of the program but give us a good play because... Mr. Como: We'll be happy to announce that fact on the air on our promotions if you'd like. Mr. Grassie: One last thing, Mr. Mayor, can we assume that in carrying out what I take to be your desires, that we're going to have an agreement with 96X so their use is going to be dependent on the conditions of the agreement and we'll try to reflect all of the things that you've talked about with regard to costs and insurance and condition of the stadium after it's used and all of those things. And they have volunteered to do some things and we'll put those in. Mr. Como: Aboslutely and thank you very much, I think it's going to be a great event for the City. Mrs, Gordon; When is it going to be? Mr. Como; May 7th. Thank you very much, 88 MAR 1 61971 The following Satoh WO introduced by Co aissionot Gordottl who loved its Adoption.
