Mr. Plummer: I was fully clear Paul, the promoter must resolve these M, not you, the promoter must, before tho dale is, if goes and sells without: resolving these, he is in trouble, not you. ;r. Campbell: They are resolved, we have dropped the lawsuit and agree to everything else. Mayor Ferre: You won't be the judge of that; Mr. Andre'..':; is going to he the ,judge of that. Mr. Plummer: Right. Mayor Ferre: Paul., all we can do, and Mr. Campbell, is test the sense tit this commission. You have seen 5 to 0 we have voted for the working out of these problems. i have complete faith that Mr. Andrews will give you an crbjeetive analysis and positive attitude in trying to solve this. Mr. Andrews: You can he sue of tliat, Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission. The only thing i don't want these gentlemen to do is make any :.ommittmer.t to anyone other than themselves for the promotion of this event until they get a letter from the city specifying that we are now in agreement and the matter can go ahead. Mayor Ferri': We set Cie policy and tilt'. Manager carries lc out. We ii .ve l,. t t the burden upon you and the decision, and final judgement on him. Mr. Plummer: No, the final judgement is in front of this commission. Mayor Ferre: The point is, they have to move very quickly and these 9 points have to be the satisfaction of Paul Andrews. • Mr. Plummer: Right. Mr. Andrews: As I understand it, thecommission is asking these gentlemen to guarantee the polyturf so that is the polyturf is used for seating they will guarantee the condition. Xr. Plummer: Yes, a guarantee or bond or both. :ir. Campbell: Agreed. Rev. Gibson: i want t.o get an interpretation.

Mayor Forte: How lung would you think pracLicully, t•ir, Plummet; Can you tell me how much the Stones get,--- ir. Campbell: They will get 90Z of the gross receipts. Mayor Ferre: How much do you charge for a seat? Mr. Campbell: $10.00, Mayor Ferret If you get 80,000 that is $800,000.00 Mr. Campbell:- ----plus what we are allowed to put on the field with he the total of the gross. ,Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor let me ask, it would appear to me if these people are under the bind and strain they are, isn't it possible that the Manager, I am thinking about how we do all the other things, either the Manager or the Mayor will get on the telephone and talk with whoever they got to talk with up there, we are in the process and within 3 days if these stipulations are met, all will be well. If you are going to get $135,000. that isn't too much to condescend to do. Mr. Campbell:--- -Rev. Gibson we have agreed to all 8 of Commissioner Plummers stipulations so what are we working out specifically with the City Manager. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Campbell let me ask a question. Right off the bat the Manager raises a good question. If you give the Rolling Stones 90% and the City get's 15% that is 105%, Mr. Campbell:--90% of the gross receipts after expenses. Mr. Plummer: After expenses, the City still gets 15%. Mr. Campbell: Correct, Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor two things, you might listen to it but please don't misunderstand it in any way. Mr. Mayor as you said before I have been screaming for 2 years about utilization of the Orange Bowl. When I was in Houston with Mr. Andrews, we went to the astradome, they have an artificial turf. I think they pride themselves, rightfully or wrongfully in the fact that they are the owner of the world's largest zipper. What I would like to do is to ask in the form of a motion that the Manager be instructed to find a method of the utilization where it will not do damage to the polyturf. I am not suggesting that the zipper is the answer here. A covering might be the answer, a zipper might be the answer or some other alternative but I think Mr. Mayor if we are ever going to be able to utilize this stadium we have to find some way to overcome that number one problem. Rev. Gibson:I second the motion. Thereupon the above motion was introduced by Mr. Plummer seconded by Rev. Gibson and was passed and adopted by a unanimous vote of the Commission. BOATS PARKED NEAR BARGE AT MARINE STADIUM- SAFETY PROBLEM Mr, Plummer; The third item Mr. Mayor is paramount to me. Mr. Andrews listen to this and Mr. Jennings. At the last rock concern Mr. Mayor I attended at the Marine Stadium I saw quite possibly the moat dangerous situation I have ever seen, It is something I think this commission must act on today to prevent a tragedy. The parking of boats up and near that stage and stadium has to cease, Mr. Mayor 1 SW approximately 400 boats parked in and around that stadium and the stage. Every one of those boats Is loaded to capacity with high octane gasoline. If anything had gong wrong, Mr, Mayor I am terrified to tell what might have happened, You'd have possibly 4,000 gallons of gasoline on a conservative estimate, I think the policy of this commission should be that we in..iediately cease allowing boats to be parked in and near that stage and the facility, I think it a must, and I'll offer that in the form of a motion, APR 221975 Mayor Ferre: t would like to see if we could modify it to this extent Mr, Plummer. You are talking About a rock concern and a lot of kids, there 1rt' !I lot of other concerts that .:?re not rock concerts and they are not just kids, hut. regular citizens of the community that enjoy going to the stadium by boat.. That is one of the attractions tinns it has so what 1 would like to see .Is ;r middle :,trance• that we: explore :i lcnt with this, some kind of docking system sty that on a temporary basis, people can travel to the F.:adil:r t boat. And dock float* by and then walk to the stadium and sit. What P1u.mer is saying is they shouldn't he gathered there while the function is going on, if something happens, and they start exploding, you would have a major t r,,e ':y . What I am :;v.Iing is, not to take away the attraction of going by boat eo the concert. Nr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor 1 saw one 20 t t. sailboat that had 39 people on it. Moor lorrt : That is; the danger. : think what we can do is perhaps have thy hest of ideas, let the people use boating as a mode of transportation, and provide :some type of anchoring. Mr. Plummer; We have it right now, the boat pits, are suited for that. Mayor Ftrre: They are not big enough. Mr. Plummer; Sure they are. Mayor I. •rto: You could not put 400 boats there. Isn't that what you ai.'..' >r. Plummer: You can put them in front et the stage but. they did it. Mayor rerr.e: You said there was 400 boats, and I am saying that the Management look into the possibility of harboring 400 boats. `'r. Plummer: t' 11 accept that as part of the motion. The following m0t:.uli was introduced by Commissioner Plummer who moved its. adoption: MOTTON NC. 75-364 A MOT ION OF INTENT MAT THE CITY ADMINISTRATION IMMEDIATELY STOP PERMITTING BOATS TO BE PARKED NEAR THE STAGE Al' THE MARINE STADIUM, AND REQUESTING THE CITY MANAGER TO FIND ANOTHER LESS DANGEROUR LOCATION FOR PARKING BOATS t r41n bo ing seconded by Commissioner Gibson, the motion was passed and adopteo by the following vote: Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner Rose Gordon Commissioner (Rev.)

The streets island, if you wiil look la your orange hook you will see these arc done by request of the property owners on these streets. it was not initiated by the City. It was initiated at the time when we were talking about sanitary sewers, so we talked to the property owners and we said we are going to build sewers it you still want the highways built ulterwa:,.:s we will initiate a district, and that is want we have done, and one of the renseu ol course for this public hearing is to bring out any ob:ectors. We have held two night meetings, we only had one person appear and they were in favor. As yeu ean see the bulk of the property owners on the is1ati itL in favor oi this improvement. ONe of our main purposes here is to raise the elevation these street 9 to provide better drainage during the rainy season. The island relatively low and land is only about 3 1/2 ft. We hope to move the streets a'aeat d foot in elevation, as a consequence solve the drainage problema. is Mr. Duhi: Mr, Mayor 1 lielleve it requires a little bit more engineering. 1 don'i auve te problem.

Theodore Gibson Vice Mayor J. L. Plummer Mayor Maurice A. Ferre. NOES: None. Unidentified person: Ladies and gentlemen, this is somewhat amended which doesn't appear on the thing, it is a technicality. A letter was lost in the mail, and Mr Jennings and I had been in correspondence and at which time is was to include both district 10 and 14 and a few more dates than appear on this, but the amendment itself and the resolution was Mr. Plummer: This is not acceptable to me. Mayor Ferre: Your name for tite record. Mr. George : I am Mr. George Mr. Plummer: I have been on this thing now for a year.Mr. Mayor if you read this resolution and I bring it to your attention which states, if admissions are charged that a rental fee be assessed proportionate to the number of non -city residents participants. You are getting into an area there which I feel is unenforceable, it is one more useless rule you can't live with and I don't know how you are going to enforce it. I really don't. You are making park supervisors policemen and ---we have hashed this and hashed thisT---it is not acceptable the way is is written. Mr. Andrews: This would be a requirement that these individuals supply the city with participants in the program and there identified by name and address. Mr. Plummer: Does the American Legion only address itself in its charity projects to the City of Miami or to all of Dade County. Unidentified person: I would like to answer that myself. Mr. Plummer: I know the answer. Unidentified person: --for admissiont, we do not charge any admission. This is by donation only and we have never turned anybody away that failed to go by our gate there drop anything into the bucket. My first three dates I have requested here is for a scholarship fund which at the end of the season here we award a scholorship, or two, whatever we have the money for, but we don't charge admissions, so this rule would not come under the jurisdiction of charging a commission for your participants. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor I will move it, deleting and if admissions are charged. 1 withdraw my first one and second motion would be give them the dates of May 19, 20 and 21 providing for advance payment for ell event personnel and other costs borne by the City.

Roland Parent Mr. f;-yctr aed members of the Commission, my name le Roland Parent, I am with the .lair fiem of 5r.;atlaers and Thompson and I represent J. Deering 1)eniel:,on who is owner of property at 3645 Main Highway. That property is described in the documents before the commission as Evanton Heights, B-52 L(It. A,SE of county road, 46-7.2. This dealer with the inclusion of Mr. Danielson's property in a so-called preservation district. The issue we feel is not one of whether we .Like trees -r we don't like trees, or whether we .arty for the environment or n ai.nst the environment. This is a selection of .r piece of property which owned by a resident which,apprc,ximately 10 acres in eizt- , and runs from main highway oo Biscayne Bay approximerely 1400 f t. It seems to es, the ordinance whi;:l, set up the authority for the Planning Board to determine preeerv;iti(in district,, speak; in term :>' need. Here is a piece of property which admittedly at all of the ilc :rinks can cere1u ly and properly maintained by Mr. Danielson for at least 11) yeer ,, and t_hie ordinance requires when he needs to meve treee or do something to appiy for »Lrmits, ---it is our position the ordinance Is vague and the resolutions that have passed .;Fleeting this property its.%n' t. i Lc(`;.;niz' the rit;hr or that iiaci ". teti;il to use that property as he may see fit and 1t involves an intci Terence with his disposal of toe property, ani.i really involves ar interference with his disposal of his use of the property r t e l: i ,r e l ; regerdl c 7 • f development. There has been a proposal made to amend the section ,,, .;Ike .(-i.ic ;t1lii0 lire that It you Want to, for property, eerdeniti,F, or itu , "iri' ry wont • � e ::;nve one tree rt;,., another, that he procedu , t is going to be eimplified in eome way, npplying to an administrator who is going to make ;in on -site insist('.'_ion and determine whether er not these trees con he moved. The objection to this obviously is the fact that the ordinance daer;n't. sot any guidelines. It eeys e person is not going to be deprived of the use of his prept•rty but it doesn't set any guidelines with Mr. Danielson, ---can F,,(, to the ordinance and can stay, if I look at this ordinance, if I follow these i;(r lee 1 ines then I can use my pre & rtv in a certain way. What it says is, you must apply to the administrator for permission to do these things. For instance sometime past in the very recent past, s question ,game up as to whether or not h,t :hoots that were on lir, .ILfliii'Ison's ,property, which total about 700 in eume were trees, so th.tt he 'e+ilil ,.:;enose of these items of which were in _ .. s ei ) :il(:ilf It 'l i::i ;.n11.1`r' tie". ermir. d by someone that they were trees, but the inip::ct of that is, that had he been required Le apply and pay for an ..iiplic,ation fees for each one of these things to he permitted to be destroyed, taikinyt about. ., ier in that instance of soem $3500.00. it is discriminatory inst ;1 ....e wee owns a larf=,e piece of property, it. discriminates ageinst him t .:,. , .itts(� he .,.,::II t rniir.t..ined his property, l.,e.cat;se he has kept the: trees growing .t'.; hie pruiler.e over the :.'ears, and it he wines to do something about culling them out, er what have you, then he has to Apply for is permit.

Mayor Ferre: Mr. Romfl, may have a valid point that this doesn't really ne,-d to b., applicahle to a siaglo family residence, we are only worried about somebody that is going out and develop the property. Does that make any sense? Mr. Plummer: Today it is a Single family residence, then tomorrow they torn it into to high-rise aoning.

I will speak to one arca in particular so there -Ji'_ be no mi;;under:;tandirlg. 1 have not yet resolved in my mind whether or lot I am in favor of advertising or the method of payment of this sign, so i want it understood that the presentations were developed on a set of specs proffered by the Manager not necessarily developed by this commission,• because one of the things we talked nbrlut from the very inception, is whether or not it would be in good taste as to advertising on that sign. I will state at this time that 1 have not made up my mind but C will listen to the presentation. Mayor Ferre: That is understood. Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor •ind members of the Commission in fairness to the proposers it was the clear .intention by the commission when this was all indicated that we were to move ahead, that it would be done on a basis that there would be no cost to the city. 'Liyor Ferre: I understand Mr. Andrews, but the Vice Mayor expressed !lips opinion and all he said is that he reserves the right to vote on periphery if whether or not he wants to advertise per.iod.Obviously I am sure he recognizes that if we do it on our own, we are going to have to pay for it. Plummer: Also Mr. Mayor you know the original concept of this sco'ruboar,l has now been compieteiy ehanfed. i am not so, in my mind, --I don't that this is a good tiling. I am going to have to be convinced because originally this scoreboard was to go in the west end zone above the upper ie ck. Xayor Ferre: We understand that. Mr. Plummer: Gkay, i want it tor the record---- ..ayo, corrt,: '.f r. this is a dii i erent concept, --- Mr. i'lummir:---entirely, and the price andeverything would be different if it went in where originally planned. Mayor Ferrer: We are aware of that and that is something that will be discussed when the commission has its turn. Everybody will have exactly i(J minutes. 1 will not permit any interruptions, those that present their will have 10 uninterrupted minutes, and if any commission members have any ciucstiva, please write them down and after everybody has made their presentation we will come back and question each proposal. r. t•ndr ews: Mr. Mayor and ,.cmbcr,> of the Commission do you wish the c' ° ..::sin i st ration to give you .end tt o commission any explanation with reference to the chart we supplied you which is our analysis of these prop,,s;i 1:> .

Now we're back L:) 1 ale. Mr. 7'1.e :, as we ic`: t. it now it's your turn to explain why you are r!ee':omment:.1r1g one company or another. Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor and iieadee:Y:.; ) It Commission, the City requested than: invitations for proposals be applied to the city and we received such Iii"or,)::) 1ls from the five firms that made presentations here. Later I and other ;t if f embers met. with the firms to review very thoroughly their proposals and then li1;:-.`d oe that review whi':I: was :ij;eroximat:E'_'ly 2 hours with ,:aen i-'_"oposer we aakee1 that they supply us wi t.h e:l :dir_ios it .information and sp : ificalSy always in writing cautioning each of the proposers that the city would only entertain information supplied in writing. They could present whatever they chose but that we insisted that it be put. in writing. We finally received the final form of proposal from each one of the. proposers and we have tabulated the results several ways. First there was a tabulation with Mr. Jennings and several other staff members that included 60 items heat we evaluated in these proposals. That was reduced to 28 items and finally to li items which we supplied to the City Com- meeion which we felt were the significant stems from our point of view insofar as obtaining a scoreboard for the grange Bowl through the City of Miami's efforts. Of those 11 items which are before you five are really the significant and the heart of the proposals and they .are items 1, 2,5, 6 and 7. Mayor Ftlrre. Wait a minute, go slow. You're saying that the heart of the pro- posal is Item 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7. Mr. Art drew;i: Now remember that this is a digest all the way down from 80 items that we evaluated, fir. Mayor. And the most significant one of those five that we centered in on is 41. Assuming that the individual firms had the quality and Ira: facilities to develop these boards the most. important item then out of those 5 if everything else was weighed equally is 41 and that was an agreement to in- :;ta11 , opr raft•, maintain and finance the entire scoreboard project unqualified and we obtained this in writing. The only firm that was able to give us that complete guarantee was the American Information Corporation. M1y.Jr Ferre^: iiy guarantee, explain that. Mr. A: drew_.: Well, when we sent out tnc eeaona utter requesting information we a..r.e.d that their pronesole be modified ;Irld they supply the city with two j'r000sal`.;, ono in which the proposer would guarantee the installation of the complete board at ne coat to the City of Miami, its complete operation and that we would have fur whatever period they designated and they designated 10 years on the advertising contracts that this would be a complete operation at no cost to the City of Miami and no strings attached sort of approach... Mayor. Ferri.:: Do you mean to say that of these 5 people the only one that did that was American Information Corporation, Stewart Warner? Mr. Andrews: Yes, sir. And then we also asked at the same time as an alternat- ive which was a lesser quality approach to the city's objectives a proposal in which we would allow the proposers 60 days after they were granted an award by '.he Commission to go out and secure the advertising and guarantee the advertis- ing. That would have bc.,n a second and lesser approach. t;NId}':NTIFIED SPEAKER: We would give them a letter of intent, Mr. Andrews. Mr. Andrew..: Yes, a letter of intent to proceed to secure that advertising. N-w with that :much information I would like Mr. Jennings to run through this .mart very rapidly and then we'll be in a position to answer any of the com- re;i�>:: ' s gtaret ions. Mayer Ferre: While you're running it through it you know when you get down 7 aa.Idt:., of grey one of the gentlemen said here that the most that American Infor- mat.. tJn Cor.-poratin had ever done was four. Now I see that it says there are sixteen shades of grey. Now you know that doesn't make any sense. . Pore :la. e: We can t:. . te. that when. WO get to it as you say, Mr. Mayor. The ae and item sperake of 'errs of advertising contract.;. We felt that war.

Mr. Andrews: That was in Kunde's proposal out not the way you're describing ). t f the f opoeers have proposed the same 1L. It's ;lOt. in two pieces and .3i.1. O�" thine and that is one main .-'_:i?rebo l;'d aed two supplementary sideboards. Mr. Plummer: No, sir! Here is •'it?l.i fine., air, I'm still a commissioner and I have the right to the floor-! Here is the east end zone. As I recall rather than having one board when Kunr3e care before this commission the score- board and the advertising was up here, the level of tables and chairs and the playback was below it. Do I recall correctly? Mr. Andrews: No, that's not right. Mr. Plummer: I'll go back and look at it again. Rev. Gibson: J.L., I'm trying to understand what is the relative merit of the bed, one location over against another. If all of these people had the same knowledge - this is very important to me - if all of you were given the same package and you didn't pick it up God help you. That's why I preach. If I get a guy that I think is a sinner and another one who was half way it's up to me to get him over the hump. Ok? Now all right. So I want to make sure understand that. Now, nobody is differing there. The other thing is very :jermain to me, Mr. Andrews, not that it is life and death; one question Tee people who are going to use this scoreboard, Mr. Andrews, not the people who is going to use it, say the football people and the baseball people and all those other folk who are going to put on the entertainment, they have had an opportunity in concert with you to review or view these things. And I don't sec nor hear any of them here today with any objections. Mr. A C rewa: They were, and thank fir. Johnson representing the Dolphins sat in as every meeting that we've had with the users in behalf of the Dolphins. We invited the other users to participate in this and makes a contribution and they're aware of the kinds of proposals the City has received. Rev. This is i'.c.'_ i.;n_-c;rtant_ b.:t somebody in the presentation made this statenonc. and It kind of bothers me and maybe... I'm glad somebody said how great the bowl is and that's why we're "h.ere because it is great. If it wasn't C it'at ma, we wouldn't be here fooling around spending all of this time. fiat's what Lealiy helps to snake it stick... What really disturbs inc is eomcboda , this "iGbt have been a , know; that :some outfit that uses the Orange cowl hasn't really signed up. What iri the devil does that mean with us? If we get that scoreboard there and that's the best thing on the market and attractive maybe this will help them to sign up because they might be reading that hand writiig on the wall. I want to be the positive side. I'm not going to let you use that to be negative for me. See ....ut 'm talking about? So I want to serve notice on all of you and that if you fool around and let us get that scoreboard up there and get taken like that. Man, you really might be in trouble. 2r. Jennings: Could I :rake a comment, one comment to Mr. Plummer's..? Mayor Ferre: Yes, that's fine but then I want you to answer the question I asked you ten minutes ago as to when will it be ready and can we have it for the Sepervowl. Mr. arni:inee: r emmissicnt.r Plummer, you made the point about the possible cttenyt: of location of the board. Perhaps I'm wrong but in my estimation, of course, oLr .in.Lial specifications did mention high in the east or west end aont',1 guess ' t. ':as the west. But if it's changed... Mr. alummer. On, you remember that? •ir. r.ni;,es: .4.s, it di:.:. That's true, but if there is a change, I think it is eceueati t.,) say that it would affect all five proposals equally.

Bui. Ad-Artsaid that they could co he job in 6 months. tio APR 221975 Mayor Ferre: Who is Ad -Art now? Mr. Jennings: That's Mr. Costin ::ed the judge. Stewart Warner's estimate was 10 months. American Sign and Indicator merely said that they would have the board installed in time for the 1976 Orange Bowl game. Conrac Corporat- ion estimated the time at 9 months. Spencer. Matketing did not specify. Now as I say.... Mayor Ferre: We've got something that's much more important than anything anybody is going to say. We've got to talk about lunch now. Axe we goi:::,r to have lunch here? Because it looks like we're going to have to work through 2 O'Clock. Have somebody come and take. the order and gc_ ahead. Mr. Frates was going to say something. INAUDIBLE: ....more than reasonable time to say it will be ready for the SuperBowl and maybe for the Orange Bowl. Mayor Ferre: Well, does everybody else feel the same way? You all feel the same way? Same thing. All right, how about you? You feel the same way. The question is can you have it ready for the SuperBowl? All right. Mr. Plummer: Well, let me ask you this question. Paul, if you put the score- board where you're contemplating what happens to that tremendously expensive sound system that we have above it? That's the most expensive sound system in the world. Mr. Andrews: The sound system is above the height of that board. It may re- quire some re -aiming of those speakers in there but I doubt it. Mr. Plummer: Well Paul, you can't even see the scoreboard now because of the bleachers, the present scoreboard. INAUDIBLE Mr. Plummer: Where is the rest of those things from Kunde? I want to see the rest of them. Ok. A11 right. INAUDIBLE. Mr. Plummer: It's amazing how things are remembered. Can you declare the old board surplus for Bogota? Mr. Andrews: No, but for our Curtis Park football field. Mayor Fere: I've_ got another question now and that. is... I've seen, and I forget whether it was at Kansas City or where but I've seen a fountain that's tied into the scoreboard. Now we've got a fountain someplace around there. Yes, we've got a fountain in the Orange Bowl. I've seen the water spout out. Mr. Andrews: The construction that's contemplated and the location of the scoreboard, we would have to eliminate the fountain. Mayer Ferre: Well, can't we have the fountain on the other side? There's no room for it? It's just silly for us; for Kansas City to have a fountain and we don't have a fountain - this is a water town. We can't have a fountain. All .-ight. Mr. Andrews: It is going to be very difficult. Mayor Ferre: I take it back. :NAUDIBLE Mayor Terre: Where are you going to put the fountain? Where? Would you be willing to put that as part of the contract? ... Mr. Jennings: Mr.. Mayor, do you just want to go down the board quickly? And that way we can cover them all. The third item is the effect on the City of any adver'i•ir:g revenue deficiency in any year. The answers you can see for yourse 7 :nerican Information Corp., or Stewart Warner I'll :'� 1'! them; there is no ei. ect at all exr _ that we forfeit the excess revenues in that partic- ular year. American Sign & Indicator's response was that the City must pay the deficicr., y annually and the other three firms did not mention that area. And plt:;L r.eep in mind again that this information on this board is from the pro- posals us submitted and if the particular item was not mentioned why unforunately APR 221975 it just wasn't available to }''et on i':t'b'_}, Item 44 talks of the experience the companies in large scoreboard,. As you can set Ai1oric.: tn, Stewart Watltt'1 Indicated that they had built five boards in their bid proposal. These were at Pittsburgh Three Rivers Stadium, Philadeophia Veterans Stadium, Anaheim, Hawaii and Kansas City. American Sign & Indicator had indicated one board in Cincinnatti Riverfront Stadium. Conrac Corporation indicated four boards, one at Oakland Alameda Colliseum, San Francisco Candlestick Park, New York... Mayor Ferre: Wait a minute, tell me that one again. How many? Mr. Jennings: Four, four in their..proposal, Mr. Mayor, INAUDIBLE Mayor Ferre: All right, do you want to add something to that? Anybody else want to add anything else to that? You're Spencer Marketing Service. Mr. Jennings: Well, may I say nobody was asked. This was information they were expected to provide in the proposal. Mayor Ferre: But the point is ... How many have you actually built? Major scoreboards similar to the one you're going to build here. Is that what you're saying? Four football stadiums; well, it doesn't matter what it was built for. INAUDIBLE Mayor Ferre: All right. Let's start over again. We're talking about com- puter or compouter run...Matrix Scoreboard. Ok. Computer, you know high quality with all of this lights and all of this stuff. How many has your firm built? (Inaudible response) Ok. How many has Spencer built? Three. How many has your firm built? Twenty-two. How many have you built? Computer controlled major scoreboard systems for stadiums. (Inaudible response) What is that, two, three? Two. Ad -Art says two. Your firm which is American In- formation Corporation - Stewart Warner. (Inaudible) Ok. These figures are getting wild now. I understand. Mr. Andrews. Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor, may I suggest that we stick to written criteria... Mayor Ferre: I understand. : think everybody on the commission... Mr. Andrews: You can see what happens when you get away from written criteria. Mayor Ferre: Yes, you get wild. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Manager, I would like to know, and I've not seen anywhere and I think it would be for more than one criteria: What is the cost of the board without advertising? Because I think it would have a big bearing on how much advertising they've got to sell to actually compensate with the cost of the board. The final question that I wanted to get to was down at the #11 on who is going to pay to operate and maintain it. But go with the first one. Mr. Jennings: The basic cost of the system as provided by the companies in their proposals were as follows: Ad -Art, $1,749,760.00; Stewart Warner, $1,604,450.00; American Sign and Indicator, $2,354,468.00; Conrac Corporation, $1,265,000.00; Spencer Marketing did not provide us with a cost figure. Mr. Plummer: In other words we're looking at a low of a million 2 as opposed to a high of two million three or roughly a million difference. Mr. Jennings: Yes, sir. Mr. Plummer: And I don't see a million dollars difference in any one of these criteria. Mr. Jennings; Now these basic cost figures may change somewhat if the location of the board changes. Mr. Plums - Well, but you said it 'as all even so it would be even all of them. Mr. Jenn ngs: Exactly. Cercet.

Thank yoa, would assume that this is some- thLng that if we come to ah the manageme,re: to nego- iate a contract that you will •:;1y invlved in, whoever. the suCces81ul bidder is. Now shall we continue. oo you want to make a statement? •eorge Murano: I'm Georcje Murano, a,:aid with American Sign and Indicator and Mr. Plummer addressed himself the real problem when he said that the f.:.At relates to the amount of advertising that will have to be generated. Now it. was our opinion, and excuse me if I'M wrong, but we were told that the board had to be specified either as above tne west end of the stadium or to make a recomenilation and in my proviicas rirecentation I stated that wr had decided to move ie to the east end of the radium because Mr. Kunde had art made his recom- mendations as to what coule.be done beiow and we were informed _hat this area could not be used because it was a freezoway and that it would obscure the floats when they came into the stadium. So a good portion of our c0st is because we have to install large steel, bring the tower to the location and provide operat- ion and maintenance of the system: and in reality we're out of the ball game because of this, what we consider as sort of an irregularity. Mr. Plummer: Weil, I can't answer that but I've got some other questions. Bob, wha:. peens, let's lust uee the first one. After 10 years what happens? Mr. Jennings: The 'board is our: sir and wo can either take the advertiing of i the board and just run the board without advertising or we can sell cur own advertising and make a profit whichever we prefer. Mr. Plummer: Ok. Now unfortunately, three of the companies didn't even address themselves to that. Is that correct? Mr. Jennings: Well, this is from their proposals again. Yes, sir. Mr. Plummer: Ok. So in other words I'M assuming that still stands. Mr. .ionnings: Well, I don't know .nether they would want to assume that but I'm saying this information was fi,eiyor ,Furre: What humleer e you on. i'lummer: Number twc. in other woi;Th, as I understand what you're saying American Information says tdat iti3 amortized to 10 years and it's ours. Mr. .7enar,a: That's corect, and not only that but what :tem 42 actua refers to is they are qoirg to obtain from their soonsors, from their aAvertis- ing sponsors 10 year coatracts - not twe five year contracts but on. 10 yea: contract. Mr. Plummer: I understand ehae. But the way it is laid °Lei:. it will be laid out in such a way that at the eompletion of 10 years the board belongs to us. Mr. Jennings: Yes, sir. Their amortization period is 10 years. Mc. i ua.ner Id right. Naw the :le; Wha-z about the content of the board itself? I only saw one compan, for example, who had something other than Cle football infoimatiee. One company, I don't even remember which one it wes . wd me a sigh that 'rad 1•.h2 time of day and had temperature on it. Mr. :onnings: This is Item i!-) on the board, Commissioner Plummer and this was ,.1ether iteil that we felt was rather important as regard to the main board. Ste -art ha:hor and American Sign and Indicator that heir board be created two sections so that... Well, let's _de ot:17 alternative. When you nave one boa:s1 and you want to show game itot4f, nleemation you iladsh it up '.7)P Lhe screen.

Mr. Andrews: You can buy tapes with .. . Mr. Plummer: Rut that's part of the cost? Mr. Andrews: That's all included. M. Jennings: Yes, sir. They provide the programming and then if you want to create new programming you can do that as well. Mr. Plummer: The thing that is still bothering me is the cost. e . operation. Now, do I understand you correctly that if we increase the use that stad- ium that the cost of the event personnel for the scoreboard is included in the cost as they have submitted? Mr. Jennings: No, not really. Mr. Plummer: In other words, let's jest use round figures, if we have 30 events a year some of the companies here have funded this as part of the sys- tem. Now if w' jump to 60 events a year in the Orange Bowl are you telling me that it is going to be an additional cost. Do you understand the question? Mr. Jennings: May I try to answer it first and then perhaps, I mean if I'm not right. Let's take the case of Stewart Warner. As you'll see in the bottom line here of the chart it says, "Corporation funds Director as part of system cast. City funds other personnel." Now as we said at the beginning Stewart Warner was the company that said they would provide the board... Mayor i'erru: You're missing an opportunity here, I have to cut you off because think; you realize that in a way we're negotiating here and when I see a couple of people going like this I want to get them on the record because you may Le :e e3elee the old record. Let me ask for the new record now. Let's sta;-t with Stewart Warner. Did you get the thrust of the Vice Mayor's quest- ion? Who pays for the extra, if we go from 30 events to 60 are you going to absorb that? P.Al;D1 3LL dyer ;: rre: No ma ter whether we have 10, 20 m.. lu.,mer; NOW wait: a minute, that doesn't answer the question. How ma. 'r people does it tare to run that scoreboard? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Two to five.... '.r. Plummer: i3ut as I understand your proposal you're only paying for the director and the city has Lo pay for the rest of the personnel. s•.ayc..- Fe:rre: Well be specific now. Get on the microphone so we can get it on ':he _ecord. Mr. Joh;, t'indlaysoe: John Findlayson representing Stewart Warner. For example, the c eration of the football clock for a Dolphins' game will be operated by an of fi, _eel of the league, Mr. Plummer: understand. I'm talking, sir... I'm looking to what it is going to ._get the city. eelyor Fe::rt . . iummer is saying forget the Dolphin games and the Hurricanes, for extra events that we have at the Orange Bowl who is going to pay for it? Mr. J.ndiayson: Primarily, we will supply a man whose duty specified in writing _s p,-i:rariiy to operate the solid matrix, the game in progress section which is the down to c,o ball on, and the operation of the clock.

Mr. Andrews: No, they're supplying this person for the 10 year period that we have the... Mayor Ferre: All right. c let ask yog this: en the 3 or 6 people that it cost to run this and Plummer keeps Coming back and back and back on this thing, who is going to pay for that? Mr. Andrews: They are through the advertis.hg generated. Mayor Ferre: Are you sure? Mr. Plummer: That ain't the way I read it according to Stewart Warner. Stewart Warner says that they will pay the director and that the city shall provide the rest of the personnel. Mr. Andrews: Yes, but the revenue that tiney'ie guaranteeing to the city is even $18,000 higher than the cent of those 5 peole. Mr. l'Iummer: Paul, I'm oking here on pa: 2.

NOW as what i about Stewart Warner's sit - think they ought to provide things they're highly tech - for each event. And the thing that i've been driving and trying to find out is what is it going to cost beyond if thee/ said 50 or whatever it is, whatever they stipulate - What is it going to cost the city per event thereafter for that personnel? Mayor Iferr: All right, how I'm going to tell you, you answer and then we're going to, hopefully brine this up for a vote because we've been on it for two houre and we're now on O'Clock agenda without having had lunch and we've goi 'c gei on with this ehing.

Mr. Plummer: One final question. Mr. Barrett: May I please Commissioner? respect John Lloyds opinion and I don't think I want to challenge John i ? vds opinion but I think under these circumstances I amp required to. I was asked by my client whether or not this franchise proposed would h;:: considered with the Miami Charter. I contend that it would not be. 1 contend that this would be violative of the charter. Now I will respect- John's opinion but I want this Commission to be aware of mine. Mr. Lloyd: Well in the first. place. _ !ion't regard it as a franchise. I think we are getting into ri question, of semantics. Mayor Ferre: This is not a court and I am not a judge and I am not about to rule on this thing so Mr. Frate i 1 aim not even going to listen to you. Let's not get into lawyers squabbling here because the law is so complicated and we a.rt doing to follow whatever our city attorney ---- Mr-. barrett: dr.

I am advising this Commission however since there was a question raised., put to me by my client i:i the response 1 gave to him. Now your city a tt:orney suggests that ,:here 23 a semantic difference between franchise and . r;.ir::hise. I address myself tc a letter from the City Mand<,er specifically that seeking a f!'anch::.se arrangement:. Now admitedly "franchise" was in quotes.

At the Ornage Bowl? Mr. Lloyd. I can clarify that. That t.:;ictually a lease agreement.

Go accross the board, American Information. WHat to they project? Mr. Andrews: Excuse me but before you do that you are going to have to know what those figures mean in terms of who have included personnel or excluded personnel. Mr. Plummer: American -Information. WHat do they project excess? Mr. Jennings: I am not sure I have that figure there Mr. Commissioner. Mr. Plummer: Let they speak for themselves. Stewart -Warner, - How much? $18,000 beyond. Unidentified Speaker (Amer.Info.): That is an absolute guaranteed minimum. Mr. Plummer: American SIgn. (Answer inaudible) Conrac? Conrac: $66,000. Mr. Plummer: Do you guarantee it? Conrac: We do not guarantee it no. Mr. Plummer: WHat do you guarantee? Conrac: We do not guarantee anything. Unidentified Man: One additional continent. There has been a lot of talk about guarantees. I asked you to believe it me before as your consultant and I said beware of guarantees. As a municipality, you have every right to protect ?our constituents and I think one very good protection and many precedents have been set is to establish a performance bond . `1. yor. .'crrig: I agree c-n.pletely. inidentified Man; if a per `ormanc:e bona is going to be establishes, as a result of this meeting, on the guarantee Trade by the one proponent - Mayor Ferre: Let the record reflect, it is the intent and sense of this Commission as I see it is that a performance bond be part and parcel of all this. Now Plummer started something, lets keep on going - Ad -Art. €:e Hof Ad -Art: Tne proposal you people have is from the Katz Agency and hart of our proposal, but I didn't make up this analysis sheet so I have no control over it not being there. Their estimation was $300,000 a year and :.::e :revenue would be the difference between that and the annual amortized ^onr .., r:.r, SyStam.

Its an actual guarantee. RepSpencer Mktg.: That's not the impression I got from certain people in the City. Mayor Ferre: You get up here on the record and make your statement on that because I don't want any confusion - Mr. Plummer: Let me finish Mr. Mayor, let me tell you - Mayor Ferre: I will Mr. Plummer after I get this on the record Sir. This is an important fact and if these people end up with this award and if they do, I think its important that they be on the record clarifying their position. Mr. Rosten: I am Robert Roston, Stewart. Warner. Ours is a guarantee not con- tingent upon how successful or unsuccessful - Mayor Ferre: I wanted to get that on the record. Mr. Plummer: What I am looking at, unless I am mistaken. American INformation will put that board in place; they will operate it with a director, not with additional personnel and they guarantee to this City that the Board in 10 years will be ours and for the next 10 years, they will give us no less than $18,000 a year. That's the way I understand it. Mayer Ferre: Is that correct? Let the record reflect that the members for American, information Corporation, Stewart -Warner said yes. Unidentified Man: Does that mean there is no requirement whatever for the full faith and credit of the City of Miami? Mr. Lloyd: I can clarify it. Ye: the full faith and credit of the City of Miami has no bearing on this because the full faith and credit of the City of Miami has r.ot been pledged. What you are talking about would be a bond issue which would be by a referendum of the people in which the city would be required to pay out of tax :money. !:r. Plummer: From Stewart -Warne:-, what wc•.►ld be the proposal to the City and how would the City be able to judge what you would be giving in excess of the $18,000? Do you understand that Mr. Andrews? Mr. Andrews: YEs. Mr. Plummer; What criteria would you use? Rep Stewart -Warner: We had projected in our proposal the amount of revenue we anticipate to generate and anything in excess of that would be -go to the city. Say less an off -set of 15%. Our first obligation iE to amortize our system and any money in excess of that got. , all of it, to the city lust, a 15% offset. Mayor Ferro: That's on the record now. r. ? luru;,er: A,d we will keep this tape. Re..Spenccr Mk : Forgive me for being so insistent but the statement was made before that the 0.8,000 would be paid at the end of the 10 year period. I asked a specific question. Was this $18,00O excess related to a minimum level f adverti:;i.r.e sale? Now it reverts in the other direction. %aw is the $1 ,"'fl' related to a minimum level of advertising sale from the very outset. 4 Jt _ it not? recall hiss answer, he said not ai. it is r.ot contingent in :or_-ect r That I stated the way I near:: ie.

Mrs. Gordon: Put your name on the record Sir. t. c.1 APR 2 21975 Mr. Signorelli: My name is Signorelli of Spencer Marketing. Mr. Plummer: Per year. Mayor Ferre: Let the record reflect that American Information Corporation, Stewart -Warner answered affirmatively yes by their representative Bill Prates. Mr. Plummer: $18,000 per year, paid at the end of the year. Mrs. Gordon: Are you ready to conclude this Mr. Mayor? I think we have heard enough debate. I think all the companies are find companies but we do have to come to a conclusion. I think the administration has done a very thorough analysis and we have heard the arguments pro and con and Iwould so move we take the recommendation of the administration. Mayor Ferre: We have an amendment from Mr. Plummer. Mr. Plummer: No no, its not an amendment. I can in good faith vote for one company and I believe American Information, Stewart -Warner. The only thing is that bothers me Mr. Manager. Is it possible, in your negotiations that it be the personnel totally from this company that operate the sign at all times? I see so many times where you get one person and our people here and they start arguing, well he made the mistake, no he made the mistake. Whereas, if you can tell me in the negotiations, that all personnel are to be furnished by them, even if its a reduction in the guarantee, I would feel better and I can vote for it. Mayor Ferre: I wasn't putting you down. I think I can see the sense of where this is going. I want to state on the record that you have asked absolutely the most penetrating questions. I spent a lot of time studying this thing and I want you to know that I didn't get half as far as you did in some of these points. I think there is no question that the points that you have brought out and the questions you have asked, if we are successful in negotiating this with whoever gets the bid, are going to be very instrumental in saving this City, I think hundreds of thousands of dollars. I want Mr. Manager, the administration to go carefully over the tapes on the matters that have been brought on this record and in your deliberations and negotiations because we are not voting on a final contract today but when you come and bring this thing for final contract to the Commission, that you cover all of these points that Plummer and everybody else have brought out to bear. Mrs. Gordon: We don't have to reiterate all those points in the motion, do we? Mayor Ferre: I don't think so. Who seconds the motion? Rev. Gibson: I am going to second with the full understanding that based on the facts presented, it seems that this is the only way to go. Mayor Ferre: Further discussion, call the roll please? The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Gordon, who moved its adoption: MOTION NO. 75-375 A MOTION ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATION AS CONTAINED IN CITY MANAGER'S MEMORANDUM DATED MARCH 31, 1975 WHEREIN SPECIF RECOMMENDATION WAS MADE TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMERNT WITH AMERICAN INFORMATION CORP/STEWART -WARNER Upon being seconded by Commissioner Gibson, the motion was passed and adopted by the following vote - AYES; Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner Rose Gordon Commissioner (Rev.)

Mr. Andrews: 1 just wanted to point out to the Commission that Mr. Jennings and Mr. Parks who is here who is the Assistant Director of Public WOrks and Mr. Meyer. ;Moiler, our Internal Auditor, is no longer with us, were the three people that I chose to assist me in evaluating this and I think they did an outstanding job. Mayor Perre: I commend them all for it and :I hope you will now sit down to finalize the negotiations and come back very quickly with the final document. Mr. Andrews: As quickly as we can. MayorFerro: I would like to see thi:- back before this Commission no later than the last meeting in May so you have a charge now. Is that acceptable to you, that this whole thing be signed and finalized by the 22nd of May? That gives you exactly 1 month. Mayor Ferro: Thank you gentlemen. BALL POINT PROPERTY - APPEARANCE OF ATTORNEY GUY BAILEY RETAINING LAW FIRM TO INVESTIGATE ETC, Mayor Ferre: We are now on item No. 10, and Mr. Bailey, the Chair recognizes you sir. Mr. Dailey: Thank you Mr. Mayor. A:: I know that you and the commissioners know we were retained by the City back in February. We estimated at that time that we mad, with many other people, just our firm had worked about 100 hou.'s wince that time we have worked daeaa 200 more hours. I don't know how many `.='tal hours the Universi::y nt Miami, Paul and Thompson and other people in addition of course, to hours and hou:"s by the C ::ti Attorney's office, but at this point, aamething in excess of 300 nours, and - don't know how much ha`; bl:er expended. ,and we were asked to come_ back at the aonciusion of our study and make a recommendation to the city as to whether to proceed or not to proceed with a lawsuit to quiet the the land that ih known as Ball Point. The short answer to our reco7.unendation i--. that we recommend that th;:: City:' proceed. W. think the city has a ;ocd chance of ,..awning a lawsuit of that nature ano we think the city ought to do that. With me from my firm which is Pettigrew and Bailey, i have John who has worked very hard an this matter and if I .:an show you, we haven't got a big presentation to show you but we can show you some over -icy craps that we have done with the assistance of Mr. Lloyd and his people last several weeks. It won't show you I A eat deal until we show you an over -lay if you will look you will see here perhaps John can sort of walk in front of you and show you this over -lay of the land insofar as the situation was sometime shortly after 1917 and I'll tell you in ra moment why that becomes a relevant date. 1 think you wi.11 be interested to see wLat that turns into in a little hit. Let's wait a second. At that point everything outside of t 2<. land that was romicated or was actually land at that nt . „ _.f; opposed to being uruer water, shortly after the time of that particular alai was conveyed to the City of :Tsars.. by .. statute from the State of Florida pass..... on June t, 1919. At that point all of the submerged land were conveyed t:, the City of Miami for municipal purposes only, and the submerged land outside particular shoreline at that point was so conveyed. Now, the first problem 4.ere pr c-F.t'nta'.' with when we saw thi.s matter was there was a savings clause in trait particui ar i rant by tat: Mate of Florida, to the City of Miami, and that ` aviags claasea read as follows "slat this grant: shall not affect any other rant heretofore made to any individual or corporation and nothing herein shall Or. construed as depriving:; any rapariar owner or proprietor of any rights under the this :t..:tt" so ,r,: were faced at tit; beginning with the problem of whether aeopi, wha ai -t:ady had riparian rights which were generally understood to be the r a ',i:t ' o a irl;a your :.and from the existing shore out in the direction of the to nitl ic, credi;e it, bulkhead it. We ±Jere faced with a couple a1 air 1Jt• :,as'. tl Sa :iVc rite no j%I'lOr Lanveyeaces Of any or the re e'.•:...t ,.:+t.erty Dy the aaLe. t a i came to the State o Florida according to all V' the reCrords. ab zrarL:.i that'the City has gotten from abstracting :.how no prior conveyance:. also we double checked this with the trustees '' .;.al mpr�oventent. Far1d of thi State of Florida, and thay Indicate no ._ Prior conveyances, So the question became for us as lawyers, and 1 say us,e1 mean APR 2 21975 a lot Of people, what was saved to peeple who ''caned the shore, at that time, what. rights did they have saved to them. 1 feel like I am back in law school, hvcauae that sent us back to a statue that was passed by the State of Florida In 1856, that was the existing law ;.n 1919, and the first time we read it,-- 1 think probably the first 10 times we read it, it looked to us like it saved all the rights and the people who owned the shore who now I believe are St. Joe Paper Company, their predecessars En title, had the rights, whatever rights, people had to dredge and f ill,but it: turns out, on examination in 1921 the State: of Florida passed another -statute cavil the Butler Act and one of the points of that act wan to confirm title to a lot of people who had already tirede d and filled and bulkliertded their land out to the Channel or out towaras the channel, because a lot of people had been doing it before that time. It had not happened here, this land as of: 1919 was approximately as we have shown you on this first ever -lay. 1'he point however was in the passage of the Butler Act. in 1921 the State was covering the pronlem which had been there before and that writ, that. unless a property owner, a ehoreline or shoreside owner owned not only the rights to the highwater mark but also the rights down from the high water mark to the lowwater mark. Under that 1856 :Statute nobody had the right to dredge i i11. and bulkhead out to the channel at all, and that was precisely the point of the le ielation in 1921 was to ;ivc people at the point who had such rights the right to go past thin differ.eace between the highwater mark and the lowwater „ark and dredge and fill out there. ih tortunately in our opinion, at this point at lest it is worth a lawsuit, and we think it is well worth a lawsuit, when Miami got this land, submerged land in 1919 that had not been corrected to the aft.,rcownern the right to dreg and fill and bulkhead ouc, so all they had was the other riparian rights which is the right amour; other things to be able to 'yet: the water and not have yoke: view obstructed, but it did not: include as we read the statute the right ti ie , it,e: 111 aaa bulkhead. Perhaps that is a short :;t' eeale answer , and the best : newer that we can see. it is not the only answer but the :i:.it'i:igs clause in 1919, reseavine to .`it_. ..Joe Paper's predecessor's is title to certain rights., c.::i not. re:Sorvc to tncm as we read the statute the right t o dredge and fill and bulkhead, eo it eavea them nothing and the city got all that stab j erged land right then and .gas hee and has owned that land ever since then despite what anybody else may have thought. There ie a second, t): a fall -back i)oaition. Lt. t us assume that that was incorrect and they did have some r _ tht.• to dredge and fill. The question woli;.d teen become wherr 1919 was the cheancl to which they could proceed t111. An Dent we can mi e out, ve are waiting for one other chart, that WW3 aaaro xi:rtate1',' where .. e lync L].vd is right now, perhaps somewhat to the e:aet- het in ;!rr event It ct'rt r 1l' was not arapeaei e near it is now. Later on in the 1920': according to information we have , tlli City of Miami did fill Bayfront earl: and :rove the channel, c:; ns . d the eeaerel to be :roved, but that happened after this savings clause and ate:• ,her;_ wa:, any right in the shoreside owners to do that, and as we reaa the statute, they did not have the future rights saved they had their rights as of 1919 saver, and that would have taken them perhaps out to Biscayne Blvd. So your two initial agruments and they look to us to be ^cod arguments, is that the City of Miami had that and never lost it, still owns it, and the land le owned by the:t ' of Miami. Now, we have gone through a litt._'o ':it more in detail, I don't know how much to go through. There :a*'..' ether ,rr ,b1errs that the people had. ea cr rerc'e: 1 don't t:.In.: right now, Mr. Bailey, since we are runniag rat.ei late, -pea need to t;u ,::to tr,:c:...sivt, detail other than the main high-li;,hts of the points you think are: important. r. 2ail+_y: Let Me try to skier it, there were come other acts that might have heen ther'..'. :f they had any right :, ;it all they had to be for purposes of Irt'.rce.

It does not relate to the City of Miami, so attempts by the State of Florida to help people that were to confusion about their rights did not: help those who were in confusion as to the rights with the City of Miami. i, allv, Mr. Plummer If t ,::a:' fret to the point that you left us with last time the question of alai; .car of title or disparagement of title. The fundarneata:l issue is whether or tot you are in a privileged situation, a legitimate claimant to the right to the title who goes to court and files a suit to quiet title, is privileged, even ii he loses, it must be ;shown in order for someone to recover for slander of title that the proceeding into that lawsuit was without any legal justification what ever was malicious and wrongful. I think that there is case law in other states -----I can't find any in Florida, that advice of counsel is by itself a defense. Now whether that is true .in Florida is not necessarily certain, hut I don't think, you get there, I think a right to file a suit legitimately and in good faith believing you have title to the property eliminates any serious concern, I don't see how anybody can find on the basis of the research we have, and the action taken by this commission that there was any malice or intent to take someone el.se's property who really owned it, but the point involved here is, insofar as we can make out, there are possibly fact:., that are not a record anyplace and therefore it is doubtful that there are ,`"acts, indicating to the contrary and you can't find them c=.tt until you file a lawsuit, with that possible exception, that there is sc *mething not cf record that has been hidden from the City of Miami and nobody knows where it is now, it looks to us you have a very good chance that the City of Miami has o red the property since 1919. Let rile close by telling; you :•; . Mayor exactly what you own because I think it is more then you think. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Ma,;or. , would . %i'>roc nt:e i we could hear this full. presentation. This is probcbiy the most important thing that is coming before this commission today. it means more to the people of the City of Miami perhaps ..:gars any of the other issues that we are ;;oink* to be hearing. In the long run, we mey be owning a great deal of land r:tt:t, we have already owned, and it is ;o1ng to be public record. Dont' cut him t .

I know just t.i.+.' east side of the Boulevard, 1 ti}last the list assessment of it was 14.5 million dollars, l don' t. know what the other is assessed at . That is what it looks like to us and that is our report. Mr. Plummer:(inaudibie question) Mr. Batley: t thank there is possibi.y r good argument that somebody has built a building, thinkging he had the rightto build a building, that you have sore problems against him. ON the other hand it is my understan_ling that the DuPont Plaza Hotel is under a 99 year least and the City might have to wait until. the end of the lease period to obtain the building. Mr. Andrews: Even though we issued the building permit? Mr. Bailey: The reliance would have ended because the lease would be up. That is not an area were directed to study. It appears there is serious problems with the ultimate title of that property. Mayor Ferre: Which property? Mr. Bailey: The DuPont Plaza hotel building site itself. I don't know as much about that or the property west of the Boulevard as I think I do about east of the Boulevard. Mrs. Gordon: You consentrated your efforts on the parcel we directed you to concentrate your efforts on? Mr. Bailey: Yes, ma'am. Mayor Ferre: Would you tell us what your recommendation is Mr. Bailey? Mr. Bailey: Yes, sir, 1 recommend tc the City that it proceed to seek to have a court quiet title re all the property it appears it may have a claim ;o, which would be all of the property at this point east of that initial )1ne in 1919. Mayor Ferre:,"lr. Lloyd could you speak to this and see what your opinion ;1r. Lloyd: Well, I believe and concur in this respect with Mr. Bailey that it is feasible for the City to go ahead.and proceed with a lawsuit. Mayor Ferre: How do you recommend that we go about doing that? Rev. Gibson:He says it is feasible. Mr, Lloyd: Yes, I recommend that we go ahead and do this. Mayor Ferre: You are spec Li i.caii ` recommending that we proceed to test this in court. How do you recommend that we do this since Mr. Bailey has already done most of the work and research shouldn't he continue. Mr. Lloyd: Yes, I recommend f urthe-r that the law firm of Pettigrew :and Bailey be engaged to proceed in this fashion. Rev. Cil,:lon: That didn't answer my question. Bail, : You heard him say it was feasible. That's really not any ,iiierent from what 1 <ur .sayi:,g. 1 am .or. saying to you, I don't think anybody prior to going to court ':searing the other side's position, seeing possibly what al,,;'umenr:; t.r}:: ; .wive: that are not of record and etc. is going to say ?r,u . , . ,..r,',y ot.athis property. And . think that is what Mr. Lloyd is saying. 1 t ii.n. ae . pinks as T think 11-�: 1':tely own this property. 1 h. nk he 1F. , th ,` that there i4, a very good L:}aiige that the City may own this prot)Lrt and it si:oulo De tested :1 Gibson: Let me word my question another way. I don't want him to tell me c thinks it is feasible, in that sense. If I am going to spend money even thoaugh I nay lose it after I sped it, I want to spend it feeling I have a pretty good chance. 11 APR 221975:. Rev. (.ibs..r: I would like: rcr; t 'rminolcg'; Mr. In other words, it I came to you and said, what about it, you :aren't going to tell me to try it for the hell of it, you are going to say to me, I want you to try it because I think the chancey ire: food and the likeliness is you may win. Is that right. Mr. Lloyd: That is correct, but the only thing I must say is, I have to give you this cautionary aspect of exactly the same as Mr. i;ailey did. Rev. Gibson: I understand. but I don't want my leader to go out with doubts. You used a word I dici ns't like. Mayor Ferre: What he wants you to do, if possible, he wants to know that we are going to court with your feelings, along with Mr. Bailey that we have a better than even chance of winning this in court. We don't want to go at this thing ris a straw inthc wind. Mr. Lloyd: No, I say this, that the City Commission may proceed with this lawsuit in good faith with the idea that the city has a chance of proving that the city has acceptable chance of getting title to this property. Rev. Gibson: Mr. Lloyd 1 am going to say eo you what I said to another employee of this city. Men use words that littheir personality. I am sure somebody present has heard ne say that before. But you know, when you tell. me, may, remember some fight we had here about this examination business, about the language. I would like it better if you :gay the city should or shall or will. When you tell me 'may' ---it is indefinite, doubtful, Mr. Lloyd: 1 will recommend. I will not have anyone put words in my mouth. I will render me opinion. I `save said, 1 recommend, and concur in the recommendation of Mr. Bailey, that is what I say. Hrs. Gordon: Mr. Loyd apprec .ate the way "ou have put it and I think it is well put. Mr. Mayor if you are ready for a notion, 1. am ready, Mayor Ferre: I'll recognize you alter we discuss money. Mr. Lloyd: Would :cu like to have :ne discuss that or Mr. Bailey. Mayor Ferre: I. think it is your r'e ponce+ iilit'y' so obviously 1 think you ought to start it. Mr. Lloyd: I'll beg'r., 4ir. bailey ,.r.s suggested two alternate methods of proposals. I will present both of t,:r, to you and then tell you which one that I favor. Mr. Bailey's first proposal was on an hourly basis of $75.00 an hour for non -court time. IN other words strictly work in the office and $100.00 an hour for court time, to be billed monthly plus of course the costs. His second proposal would be a retainer of $25,000.00 payable in monthly installments on the basis of $100.00 cn hour for time spent, but the $100.00 an hour is solely for the purpose of establishing the monthly billing. The retainer would he $25,000.00 with a contingent for bouns fee, if successful that the City would acquire title ;c, 1.1 or part of the property of 2% of current assessed valuation of the prr.,;erty acquired. Mr. Plummer: 2%?•- w:lat.? Mrs. Gordon: What are you ah-ing about J.L.--ior ?,'i you would buy it ar.y day. Mayor Ferre: With all due respects to Mr. Bailey I will get you the o.e leading law firm of Dade County to make proposals to you, that don't about any 2Z. That property must be worth 15 to 20 million dollars. ' riNWQ percent 0 . that :s three or four hundfi?d thousand dollars. :d: 'Ii-e current assessed value of the property is $14,600,000. ` :k'-re: That I1l)Ci. Oz 11 bother me, but I will vOLi iiu and I will sey it right now :i �..:. t can ,' o any total. We don't operate that way arou; d here. 1.1,t:Go:dan: Mr. Mayor _ think t;iere is a .n_sunde'rstanding of what has just. been said, and I think it requires a clarification. ti-:e 2% is only going to be based on the land we e-'.ive by court order. The value of APR 221975 that land is what we are t-aIJ ink_ ,..,..t)t . Net e sum to be paid to this firm if we don't get any land frorn the oout"t. That is a big difference. If you are voting against 2 you ere voting ogoin:t er giving a sum of 2f for wrk done to acquire millions perhaps, of vaiue of land that this city might rightly own. Mayor Ferre: After you have ti:pre: 3sed your opinion, 1 want to say I will vote against 2% and I don't want: to ca' 1 it a rip-off but I thine: that is an (eN.eessive amount of money for the value to be rendered. i. think before we do that I think you had better eo tali: to the law firms of Bill Frates, who was lust here, Paul and Thom;Yson, Mershen _ _and the other one, the leading firms here, and see what the differences are. It sees; to me $400,000. is a lot of money. Mr. Bailey: Mr. Mayor may I respond ;sir, i was quite fearful that this is the precise response that would engendered and on Feb. 10, 1975 I wrote a letter to Mr. Andrews and I proposed to him an hourly rate. I proposed to him an hourly rate with :a cap on it, which I have borne the difference on up until this time, and that is fine, and I have no problem with that, and I further said at that time in writing, tt' Mr. Andrews, that I would be willing to work. on an hourly basis that we proposed, and that was discussed before this commission but it moot because there was no recommendation to proceed or not to proceed. I have never suggested voluntarily any other alternative. Mr. Lloyd came to me yesterday and he said we are concerned that there might be an untold number of hours and the city ought not to be in a position of putting a cap on a retainer, of not: having a eap or; a retainer because it would be an open-ended thing regardless of the outcome of the lawsuit. My response was, i didn't :zee how responsibly as a law f irrn I c , ld ,a.: in and commit the kind of hours we are talking about which might be multiples of what we have already got in, the 300 hours, it might: be well over 1,000 hours before we get through, if the opposing attorneys and counsel knew that, I'd he 'in an appeal a week, I'd be petitioned for writs of certiorari, I'd have interlocutory appeals, I'd be in every court until they finally wore ray law firm ci.' n, do net have 50 lawyers in my firm, have 14 lawyers in my firm, arni it'y .:i: i sponse on the +ercentoges,was after I was asked would i he willing to do other thing, this is precisely why I. didn't wait to do it, the word rip-otl drives me craLy because I was asked for thin nurrber as a matter 4,, fact, it was Mr. Lloyd's number, it is much lower, - Mayor Ferre: Are you rep: mrenair Mr. Lloyd: 1 haven't rec.orrmende`:i it } I:, is what Mr. Bailey is willing to do. Mr. bailey: He asked tnc would I be willing to take a cap. Mayor Ferre: John, I am going to give you my opinion, No. 1 since Bailey has done all the work, I think he ought to continue. •ir. Lloyd: There is no question: in may r;ihd, I would not recommend anybody :savor Ferri.': We are a public body and we have to defe:ad whatever actions we cake, and I thi nk it has to be reasonable:. I don't have any qu alms about a tt•tainer fee of ;>25,000. for a job like this, but do object: to n 2" of the ie.:al value. You are talking about property that could be worth 20 or 30 million uellara. Two percent could be, you know, -•----that is what we have been talking about. When uc' got in this whole bond issue, the reason why we didn't proceed fa because 1,,e said it was worth 15 million dollars, if you are talking about the property a..o; oss the stre': t, an! the way that line was drawn, I guarantee 'jot: are talkiee .;gout over 1` million dollars. All. I am saying is, I think of 4 Lun'ired t iev)snnd dollars is too much.

Mrs, Cordon: Okay, If ; ou won 1.13 some land, what would you receive in addition to the $25,000. Mr. Bailey: 2% of they assessed value, under that, --- Mrs. Gordon: in other words, am I incorrect or am I hearing things incorrectly, isn't it truer that tile only cost that we are talking about with regFtrd to your fee is only if you win the case, then we receive land, is that correct? Mr. Bailey: Correct, Mrs. Gordon:------otherwise.',cit capped at $25,000. even if your firm goes for a hundred, is that riF:ht Mr. Bailey: Yes , ma'am, Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Mayor I think perhaps that is where the misunderstanding has been. Mayor Ferre: I have no misunderstanding, I think $25,000. is very reasonable, but I don't thin: that 4O0,000. or whatever on the topside is reasonable, and I want to pin that dawn. Mrs. Gordon: II 4't' receive 10 million dollars worth of land the top fee would be, Mayor Ferre:: 'i h'i f:: the way you judge these things. The way you .judge it is, are there other: lawyers tht are willing to do this for a fixed fee of equal stature and of equai ability, and if the answer is yes, why should the citizens of the City of Miami pay to this law firm $400,000. for what we can get. :or $100,000. Mrs. Gordon: F,ocaush the citizen ott this community would not bt paying the S14,000,000. that they would have paid or had to pay to receive this i)rope.-ty through any other means. Mr. Lloyd would you explain something to me please, on condemnation oases how much do vot.l lay, or how much is being paid to condemna::ion attc1rn. .= a <tti the hhh that was engaged to handle the condemnation of this suit, of this piece of property, the one that was dropped? Mr. Lloyd: He would have: received, had we condemned the property, at the time, 2% of our appraised value which was $11,000,000. Mrs. Gordon: 'Then 4hat we are talking about is not different that witar you have done before, that this commission passed on before. I don't wani: to bet emotional about. it is nil: ':.riat i w at o uo. i want u. to be reasonable, I want us to be ..7gica1, i want us to assess this in the sane li;h ..r, we do other thins.

Mayor Ferre: That is exactly what we got out of, we negotiated ourselves out of a mess. Please don't misunderstand me Mr. Bailey, I'd like very much to see your firm proceed, and I want to say this, whether or not your firm proceeds, I am going to vote for this lawsuit to proceed, period. All we are talking; about is not whether it: proceeds or not, but who is going to handle it. Mr. Lloyd: Mr. Mayor may I make a suggestion. Mr. Bailey's original proposal was $75.00 an hour for non -court time and $100.00 an hour for time on an hourly basis. There was no cap to that, that was why I didn't object to it but l thought something else would be better and I would recommend that some type of contingency fee rather than than, however that is open for consideration if the commission wishes to consider. Mayor Ferre: What are you saying? Mr. Lloyd: Well, I am saying if you want to consider his original proposal of $75.00 an hour non -court, and 81.00.00 an hour court time. My only objection to it was that in the event that the suit was lost and of course while I am not saying that the suit is going to be lost, you always have to face the possibility that you could run up a large bill and be un- successful. Mayor Ferre: I would rather have a minimum and a maximum, and I agree with a minimum, I just don't agree with the maximum. That is my opinion. There are 5 on this commission. Mr. Bailey: In February 12, I have a copy of an interoffice memorandum that was sent from Mr. Lloyd to this commission, enclosing our letter, proposing this hourly fee. At that time we specifically said that because there is no way to estimate how many hours might be spent in this litigation, that we would want to keep it open-ended, we be paid as we went along, and got paid as we were still if the lawsuit got thrown out or something happened and we won the lawsuit, that would be the end of our fee. I say again to you, it was my understanding when I started, 1 got a little angry that somebody might, there was some thought at the end of our recommendation and study, was already planned to be hired, and there was some discussion on the record at that point about it. But I have never tried to deviate from what I proposed to this commission at that time, and I have not done anything but respond. I was asked would I take a cap, of $25,000. and two points, and I said yes i would. I do think it is considerably less than the condemnation lawyers received in court awards. Be that as it may, I am concerned of being in a position where I come in and say hey, let's file a lawsuit, fellows, and why don't you pay me a big fat fee. That is not what happened, that is not what I am saying. I think you have a good lawsuit, if you want to hire me just the way I said I would do, which is going to make me less money at the end, that is fine. If you want me to take a risk and join in the city's risk, on my recommendation as to whether to proceed or not, and that is what Mr. Lloyd in affect was in part doing, asking me how much I believed in my recommendation, do you want to :ake a risk and put a cap on the fee, fine, and that is where the 2 points came from, and that is the only way it came, and I am going to do whatever you want to do, but I am not inclined to get money out of the city on some kind of rip-off theory. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Bailey, leimpsay I apologize for an very poor choice of words on my part. I did not in any way mean to imply that you were involved in any way in a rip-off. I just happen to think that the pay, even if we are successful, three or four hundred thousand dollars in my opinion, I think is a large sum of money and I hope we can get the same job done for less money. I am pleading with you, I would like for you to proceed with this case, that you take a more reasonable fee. I don't know what else to say. It is up to the commission to do whatever they want. That is my opinion. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Mayor I think that perhaps since you feel so strongly about this 2% that we go the route of the hours, and that you can always terminate at some point in time that you felt you were in a position there was no need to go further. If agreeable I would make a motion that we go the hourly rate, Mr. Plummer; I'd like to discuss it with Mr. Bailey before a motion. 1 APR 22 1975 Mayor Ferre: Go :;head Mr. Plummer and then 1 will recognize :after All the discussion is over, Mrs. Rose Gordon for the purpose of making a motion. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Bailey with your firm, you speaking for the firm, consider taking, and I will leave the latitude open to you, a minimum cap with a bonus if• successful. Mr. Bailey: "That is precisely what Mr. Lloyd was proposing to me, and I said I would do that. Mr. Plummer: In round figures, just let me throw some figures, and this Is not with any gender of thought, that you would take a minimum fee of the $25,000. and if successful you get a bonus of $75,000. would that be within the perimerters or ball game of what you are speaking? r. Bailey: Here is the problem with that. I think the answer is no sir, the reason is, that at this point without going to court yet, I have 300 hours in this matter. It is conceivable that we would triple that in court, perhaps more. You are Milking about an enormous number of hours, and if you are talking about paying me, so far I think i am getting paid about 25 to 30 dollars an hour which is less than most lawyers in Miami are making, certainly less than our normal fee. What you are proposing to me is, when I take on a contingent basis, what I think I would be receiving on an hourly basis, I would be giving up the certainty of regular billings and putting the whole thing on a contingency. Certainly that is not an attractive proposal. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Bailey the reason that 1 left it open and only threw figures at you, i could conceivably vote for a $50,000. minimum with a 50 or 75 bonus, but at least i. know what the miximum cost. You see, I am still a little burned, and paranoid from what happened on this gold mine as it exists there before, that we found ourselves in a position and un- fortunately every time we run up against this property or others owned by this owner, we are told that it isn't going to cost us anything and we come out in the hole. I would rather you proffer to me a minimum fee, I.'1.1 leave that up to you, and also a bonus if successful. That is what 1 would prefer, then 1 know exactly it is going to cost me a maximum of 50,000. or 100,000. and possibly something else. Mr.Bailey: The problem I have with that is I am dealing with an un-knowable number of hours, --- Mr. Plummer: So am I, ---- Mr. Bailey: My other problem I have is, I thought we had put this one to rest in February when we proceeded in the first instance, and 1 have thought about or considered the fee proposal until yesterday afternoon and again this morning when Mr. Lloyd was here. I thought we were doing it on a reasonable basis. I would be willing, you are not a lawyer, but there is a practice and procedure whereby courts :et what are called reasonable fees which involve the amount of money, Mnyor Ferre: That is what we are fighting in this legislative session. The City of Miami has proposed a bill to stop that, and I am not talking about you, that is a rip-off, and that is what we are trying to get, --- Mr. Bailey; That is when you are in a 10 to 15 or 20 percent on attorney's feea, and I can understand your feelings about it, but you are asking me to risk ao.,aibly 100's of hours of time that I am obligated to pay lawyers for and spend time o:, and offer to pay me as a bonus only getting me up to my normal billing w:.>u1L! he Mr. ?1u;;mer, assuming that 1 have, in order to get than: bonus, successfully ontcjin far the City of Miami, property worth 10 to 20 million dollars, ball park ;'i_f;u:eti, seems to me, that is not a reasonable position for a proposed client. M..,:;,or Ferre: Woulu you accept 1%,--- Mr. Bailey:in addition to what:' Mayor Ferre: I am talking about minimum of 25,000. plus 1`7, if you are successful in your lawsuit. 7. APR 22 1975 Mr. Bailey: I'll accept that against S5(i,00(. retainer. Mayor Ferre: I would go for i Mrs. Gordon: 1. will too, on the $50,000. plus the I.% in stead of 2,- are you ready for a motion Mr. Mayor >o we can go on with the agenda? Mayor Ferre: Let's see what everybody else wants. Mr. I'lummer: If we .lose it costs us no more than $5O,000. Mayor Ferre: $25,000.00 Mr. Plummer: He said $50,000.00 Mayor Ferrc: No, come on, Mrs. Gordon: That is what we just said. Mayor Ferre: 1 asked him whether her wo}ul.d accept 17,; and he said yes, ---- Mrs. Gordon: He said on a S50,000. minimum, ----Mr.. Mayor, it is going to cost his firm money, he has already contributed thousands of dollars to this cause out of concern for the property that we have legitimate right to ;o to court on. Mayor Ferre: Hen: much have you been paid so far.? Mr. Bailey: Zero, Mr. Lloyd: Let me explain, he has been paid nothing but he will be owed S11,250. for the work he has done so far. Mayor Ferro: 1 was going to thank him, ---- Mc. Lloyd: He will bill us and duty the ,--- ;`Fir. :ieboso: I don't 1 we any objection . ainst 2%. i wish Mr -Bailey would ;Hake a million dollars in this transact on. Mrs. Gordon: So would 1. Mr. Keboso: I think the city is going to have a lot of land. I prefer to r:r a the $25,000. retainer, with the 2Z Mrs. Gordon: We don't pay the 2;:, unless he wins the case. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Lloyd how do you i:eel about this. i'. Lloyd: I have no ob.1. t.ion ..) Cri.. 2< personally, on the basis that ori;;inally this was an agreement: to which you were not privy, that the for:aer condemnation counsel we had was getting 2% of the appraised value for getting it for the money we had to pay for it. We are talking about tax assessed value however, we are only talking about the assessed value presently of the property which he requires as of now, and of the property he acquires. If he acquires a c,uai ter of it, he get 2% of the appraised value of a quarter of it. Mrs. Gordon: Exacely. Mr. Bailey is that agreeable with you? fir. Bailey: Yes, ma'am. 1 said that of start with. 1: gat will be the ,:ax , sses:-ed value of the land. ey : I hope 1 rE. _..; r rc; n. '.o 1 ..in �:' to court for you. Mr. Lloyd: As of i,o,,- ---or. tl,t t.ix roil. now. ;,;ibson: Are we better of f , -----earlier we said a minimum of $50,000. ilua i. ,--based on your figuring would we be hater off with the $50,000. and % over against $25,000. and 2%. Whi •l, is to our advantage. 72 APR 2 2197 Mayor Fer.re: It is very simple, if the land is worth 10 or 15 million doll:arn, 2": iv $300,000.------$300,000. plug. $25,000, is $325,000. tone percent. is $150,000. plus $50.000. ;aa 200,000. what it means is, if we are successful. the 2% is higher, if we are not successful, we are better off with $25,000. and S300,000, rather than with $50,000. and $200,000. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor don't worry about it, I just had an offer from Mr. Reboso, if the city doesn't buy it at that price, he will. Mrs. Gordon: Are you ready for the motion Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferre: Go ahead, Mrs. Gordon: I move that the city proceed upon the recommendation of the City Attorney and the firm of Pettigrew and Bailey to go to court for . n quiet title suit on those properties which it appears the city has a claim, ad that the firm of Pettigrew andBailey receive a fee of $25,000. plus a 2% if successful of any lands that are received by the City. Mayor Ferre: As I understand this, the 2% includes the $25,000. Mts. Gordon: No, that is pluss,--if we receive the land through the court, Mayor Ferre: I am voting no on that. Is there a second. Mr. Reboso: 1 second the motion. Mayor Ferre: Any further discussion. Mr. Plummer: I:t has always been in :ny estimation, we get drawn out in these long drawn -out cases, which this one will conceiveably will be, God only know how many hours will be put into this thing, I think Manolo in gest hit it on the head, we could not go out and acquire the property for 2% of assessed value, and what i'tmeans, turning it around to make it wound , that we would acquire that property, and I realize it may be rightfully ours, hut we would acquire the use of it which we don't have today for 98% of the value. Ma}or Ferre: That is not the question. Mr. Plummer: It is the question, what ie resolves down to is, what we are going to pay this man. Mayor Ferre: And the question is can we get someone of equal quality to do the same amount of work. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor I. don't know how you operate but I am going to tell you something, if you stack one funereal home up against another, and try t:I determine what is equal quality, you are out in left field. Rev. Gibson: The dii i iLulty I have is, I thought at first we were saying $25,000. dollars minimum and if we win, we would go to 2% of what the appraised value is, as of now, the assessed value. I thought that meant if 2% of the assessed value is $400,000.00, that all 1 would then do is to take $25,000. from $400,000. and give you $375,000. X:. Bailey: That wasn't the proposal Mr. Lloyd made to me. That was not presented to me, Rev. Gibso: :ir. Liovj, Mr. Bailey please understand, I. am in an awkward p^o t.ion, this is like bargaining my people away, Mr. r>y: Father Gibson I am in an awkward position also. '..ibson: I wano you to knew 1 sympathize. I think we could really settle ti.a matter if aiu. ----- ._1i.ley: You want the $25,0:)0. back, I'll give: it to you. i ...L'. bee :mane he::oo . oduing,----j% of whatever the APR 2 2 1975 assessed value is, Let's assume it is $400,000, which would be you fee later on, then we have retained you, win or draw,for $25,000. and all we will do is subtract it, off, --- Mr. Bailey: That is fine, Rev. Gibson: Rose, change your motion, — Mrs. Gordon: All right, if it ip agreeable.with Mr. Bailey, I'll change the motion,---- REv. Gibson: I want to put this on the record too, I think this is far better and what used to happen when I first came here. Mayor Terre: If you change the motion I will vote for it, but there is one other thing I want to bring out, if at any time the city commission decides Mr. Bailey is not doing a proper job, then I think we have to have a divorce clause in it, so that he is not dragging his feet after he jade his $25,000. 4 or 5 years from now, and i think it is important that we have a clause in there that he keep an hour account and anytime we cut off we will pay $100. an hour, or whatever it is, Mr. Bailey: My concern in ..I situation like that is that 1 drive all the way down to the one yard line and I get fired, and somebody else comes in and does it for $10.00, I would like to be paid for my work at that point. Mayor Ferre: Suppose your law firm with all due respect to you, suppose you have a nervous break down, or something, Mr. Bailey:1 may, right here, Mayor Ferre; and three. years, from now, all your, associates have some kind of problem and you are just not doing the job, Mr. Bailey, then it 90% done, but you are not there before the Supreme court arguing the case, we have to bring in reinforcements to help you argue the case. Mr. Bailey: i don' :Mink it is a problem, if you fire me because T have no,: done a good job, it i. , for it should be some specified time, if you flee me capriciously, if there is some new commission that wants to support the position of a private owner regardless of the City, and you fire me without reason, that is something else and I should get reasonable value for my service. Mayor Ferre: How do we solve that. Mr. Plummer: You resolve it in court and the court sets the fee, that is how you are going to resolve it. Mayor Ferre; Iwant to avoid that if we can. :r. Lloyd: We can resolve that in the terms of the contract, Mr. Bailey end ; can work that out. Mayor Ferre: Then 1 am satisfied. Mrs. Gordon: The motion is that we pursue to file this lawsuit of quiet title, on the certain lands described., Mr. Lloyd: My I speak to Mrs. Gordon, I suggest you make your motion that ::Icy be engaged to take appropriate action to acquire the title. Mayor Ferre: That la the same thing, legal talk,---- ;,r... (:ardor:: I accept your wording for the motion, that the fee be hest d upon a ,'}Jf1. guarantee, and 2% of appraised value if wC'- win, (of asse .red value 197and if we win, and he received the 2%, the $25,000. shall be deducted from that. '_otal sum, Mr. eioyd: yes, that is fine, yrli may pass the motion, but what you are laat.ucting me to do, is to prepare a resolution, which we will have prepared, and submit it to you. Mrs. Gordon: Will we have that by this afternoon? Mr. Lloyd: Yes, ----- Mayor Ferre: Would you include in that the divorce clause or whatever it is called. Mr. Lloyd: Yes, Mrs. Gordon: That the so-called divorce clause is again only predicated upon, I forget the legal jargon, ---'for cause' ----okay. The motion was introduced by Mrs. Gordon, seconded by Rev. Gibson and was passed and adopted by a unanimous vote. ( Later in the meeting Resolution No. 75-413 was passed and adopted in support of above motion.) Mr. Plummer: Mr. Bailey since it seems you are going to be hired, I would like to tell you that I am in possession of some documents which were furnished me, which I think will be of tremendous help in your lawsuit which goes as far back as 1929, that does in fact draw boundaries, bulkhead lines, and things of this nature. I will furnish those to you upon completion of my going over them and I vote yes for your contract. Mayor Ferre: In voting yes, I want to tell Mr. Bailey, I want to repeat, that this is no way a personal matter, what I've done, I would have done no matter who was there as an attorney, and it is no reflection on you, your firm, your ability, or the work you have done up till now. I have heard rumblings that there are some indirect accusations as to what my intentions are, and I want to tell you on public record that my intentions are what is best for the citizens of Miami, and obviously we own the property, and we can acquire it through legal form that I think the best thing to do is to go and fight it out in court. I am willing to risk the $25,000. and I am glad we have been able to finalize it at this time. Mrs. Gordon: I think the public record should reflect the kind of dedication the firm of Pettigrew and Bailey has shown to us, the City of Miami to date. When the University of Miami was examining the title and coming up with their opinions that we had grounds for action, the fire of Pettigrew and Bailey,of their own volition donated $500.00 to help the students of the University of Miami for some of the research, never knowing that they were going to be standing in an embarrassed position at this microphone. Mayor Ferre: I am sure the embarrassment will wear off as they are successful in making severl hundred thousand dollars. Rev. Gibson: Before I vote let me say this, if I knew J.L. Plummer had those documents which would have made his work easier, I would have tried to get it a little cheaper. 7 APR 221975 10, AFRICAN SQUARE I'A;l: DESIGN PRESENTATION Mr. Acton: Mr. Mayor and Members of the Commission. We have Mr. Allen Pearson of M. Paul Friedberg's Office here, plus Mr. Ron Frazier to make the presentation African Square. Mr. Ron : rri>:kr: Today. this is just a presentation of the design concepts; preliminary design concepts for African Square which has been developed in about 212 weeks because of the contract limitation we have with the city. This is Mr. Allen Pearson which is a partner of M. Paul Friedberg & Associates, who will give you the formal presentation of the model and the drawings. Then we will open up any question that you might have about any specifics. Mr. Allen Pearson: I am from M. Paul Friedberg & Associates that's 4 West 62nd St. in New York. City. What I would like to do is take you through the park and introduce you to the different facilities that we are talking about providing within African Square. And I don't really think I'll be able to use the microphone, so I will try -- To begin with what we have provided is a - an open area square which is in- corporated in theater, a pool pool, sun shelters which eventually will be provided with a comfort station,as well an area that'll have permanent and temp- orary coverings for different facilities, as well as for things such as barbecues, church organizations, things of that nature. This right here is the amphitheater which is located right off of Dr. Martin Luther. King Boulevard. This here is 14th Street on this side. Over here is 15th. We've provided facilities for just about all age groups beginning with the tots, which would be the pre-schooler. A play urea with the sand surface material usinf; a wood plate, apparatus and equipment which is located here. We've provided for basketball a hard surface area. The basketball and volleyball, it could be painted games,things of that nature. This would bu on asphalt surface. The passage area or walkways which we've provided along here are for picnic areas, passage sitting for elderly people of that nature. We've created a berm along the boulevard itself, also we've begin todenclose the park. We've alse provided for assess off of 61st St. by taking, down the existing buildings that was once a park in that. area. I think really the basic thing of the park is to create a series of activities which the community can use for multi purpose facilities such as bazaars, carnivals, church festivals. It could be used for community organizations, art exhibits, flea market, things of that nature and what we've cried to do in this area is to provide it where it's a very versatile tvr,¢ of design ;approach and that these canopies can be installed, they can be removed with the same day or on a weekend, they can concessionaires can come in, s,i-lpoP corn, ice cream, things of that nature. The idea would be to have a comfort station incorporated with the canopies themsleve.s. The canopies would be made out of temporary canvas, as well as permanent concrete block and sonitude concrete. I guess I should ask is there any questions at this time. The schematic course estimate that we've just completed runs $344,000.00. The budget that we were given was about $336,000.00, not including a parking lot. Mayor Ferre: I want to tell you on the oacord, I think that's terrific. If you can do that with $330, I think you have done a real fine job of designing. Mr. Allen Pearson: This does not include any existing building demolition nor does it include land acquistion, it's only capital improvements. Mayor Ferre: I understand. I understand. I still say it's a good job. Mr. Allen Pearson: There was some concern on the part of the commercial aspects of this park and to clarify it on the record the commercial aspects of this thing is leas than 20% and it is related primarily for community organization type of things, such as a church having a bazaar, things of this nature. There won't be any permanent on site commercial activities for retail selling of things of this nature. That was to clarify this particular point. It's strictly for park cultural aspect uses and if an organization didn't want to sell some type of commercial activity it would require some Mr. Plummer: Who would be the regulating body? Mr. Allen Pearson: Governing the park, the maintenance and what have you. The City of Miami as we understand it, Mr. Plummer: The City of Miami will govern at all times. '76 APR 221975 Mr. Allen Pearson: That's my understanding. It is a city park. Mr. Andrews: But what will happen in this case is that the construction of this park will take place with funds from the linear park 2 million dollar Martin Luther King's funds that were made available. 2 or 2'I million dollars. And that plans will be prepared by this firm for the letting these contracts, contracts will be actually let by this City Commission. Mr. Plummer: I understand, Paul but for example in choosing the aspects that these what do you call them? Mr. Allen Pearson: We are calling them sun canopies, but the idea that ---- Mr. Pummer: They are going to be used by churches and other organizations. Who will be the delegating authorize as to who has it this week, who has it next week you know,--? Mr. Andrews: The City of Miami is going to have to control that. You are going to have to do that through somby8? an agreement, leases, or what have you, but this is a city park and it's maintenance and operation will be governed by the City of Miami. I presume that you would want to strike some kind of an agreement based on the way the community precedes that it be used. But it has to be done within the context that this is a public facility. Mr. Plummer: Right. In other words, on the other side of the coin. The city would also sustain my liabilities that occur in this park . Mr. Andrews: Yes, this is a public park. Mr. Plummer: Ok. That's what I am trying to get at. It is in fact a public park 'is is under the control of Parks & Recreation. Mr. Allen Pearson: But we wouldn't want that agreement written in such a way they would negate the use of the facilities by different community organizations. Mr. Plummer: Oh No, No: Mr. Andrews: In other words, if I play say it another way for the Vice Mayor, and the Commi lion. What they are trying to tell you is that there is no exclusivity. In other wor%tmeone can't come in and say, well I've got a right there and perpetuate it for a great length of time. This is a public park and the Commission through the City Administration and through you are going to have to control it so it's used in a public way. Mr. Allen Pearson: Because it's designed for the flexibility. Mr. Plummer: Yes. I understand that. Let me ask one other question? Now I know that this has had the backing of the people that have been behind it, but in fact has there been any kind of a public hearing for the public? In other words, as we have public hearings here. Has there been an advertisement in the paper for a public hearing that this is in fact what the public wants? That's what I am saying. Mr. Andrews: I can speak for them. They would not necessarily be acquainted Mr. Vice Mayor with exactly what you are saying. From my knowledge of this and having followed it rather carefully, they've had many meetings with the community, but they have not had the kind of public hearing where you the Commission have called for a public hearing. Mr. Plummer: But what I am saying Paul is I don't want these people to wind up in the same bind as this Commission did over this little top part down here. And the people coming down here screaming saying that isn't what we wanted. So I arm just trying to avoid that difficulty in the future. Mr. Allen Pearson: This design reflects the imputs that we had. We have a design review committee, which is composit committee of M.L.K, Boulevard Staff, the Model City Staff and the Community Organization -- areas so it reflects their comments. Now, the public hearing you are talking about is similar to a zoning type public hearing. Mayor Ferre: All right. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are running behind time. Are there any questions to be asked.? Any action to be taken here? Mr. Plummer: Sure we have to approve it. How long will it teke you to get it finished? 77 APR 2 21975 Mr. Allen Pearson: With working drawings, it'll take, well on the contract it' two months of working drawings. Mayor Ferre: Two months of working drawings and then we'd have it on the contract, So within Let's say nine to ten months we ought to have that park finished. Mr. Plummer: }3y the end of the year. Mayor Ferre: Not at the end of the year because we are already into May almost. Is there a motion then? Mrs. Gordon•: What is the motion? Mayor Ferre: The motion is to approve the design in the contract. Mrs. Gordon: I will so move. Mayor Ferre: Is that right, Mr. Lloyd we are approving it in concept? Mr. Lloyd: No sir. You are approving the final design of this. Excuse me. I specifically request that you do so. Mayor Ferre: All right. Is there such a motion? Mrs. Gordon: Can we ask for an opinion from someone from the or either, whichever department would have jurisdiction over actual designs. What we see is scale models and the concepts looks good, but is there a recommendation from the Manager, that this be approved? The design. Mr.Andr*'ws: Yes. rom everything I know and no one has raised any objection. I would therefore have tc say that yes. Mrs. Gordon: This is your recommendation that we move to approve. Mr. Andrews: Yes. Mrs. Gordon: All right. I move it then. NOTE: THE FOREGOING MOTION NO. 75-377 WAS ADOPTED LATER ON IN THE DISCUSSION. E SEE_BESDLUTI0N_190._15_ &.1 ) . Mayor Ferre: Thank you very much gentlemen. Congratulations to you. Mr. Plummer: Try to get it opened before the first of January. No, I say that because of the Bicenntenial.

Corporation property. Mayor Ferre: Is there such - discussion in your recommendation. We talked about this before. Mrs. Gordon: Do you recommend it?

Mayor Ferre: You mean the lack of speed. Mr. Andrews: Yes. And we also furnished him with information as to some of the additional housing projects that would be carried on in the Coral Gables section. However, Mr. Klein is particularly concerned that the City of Coral Gables is not becoming sufficiently involved in the whole matter of housing in that portion of Coconut Grove that lies in Coral Gables. I also informed Mr. Klein of which he was not aware of the Commission's particular interest in finding a solution to treating the entire Grove as one area for Planning and Development and it's split up in it's boundaries. So he asked me to report that to you. Mayor Ferre: All right, thank you sir. 18, MIAMI FASHION DISTRICT - PERSONAL ARPE MNAEYERSON Mr. Sol Meyerson; Mr, Mayor, good afternoon. Mr. Vice Mayor, Madame Commissioner, Father Gibson and Mr. Reboso. I packaged a few details and a few items for the sole purpose of trying to advance our thinking and for the sole purpose of putting it all together and trying to get a good deal of what exists now and the Miami Fashion District resolve it if it's all possible. (1). I've had a I don't know whether Mr, Andrews has had a visitor from the City Loa Angeles b the City of Phoenix complimenting us on our Miami Fashion District, They both said that this Ftl APR 221975 is the only district of it's type in the country. No where has any city so designated anarea for the sole purpose of consolidating industry within that one area. It seems that the City of Los Angeles is spreading. The City of Phoenix is spreading. I think they are going to copy our initial thinking. So the City of Miami is the first. I would like to get from the City Commission a resolution if possible. Where the City Commission is in favor of exists into the Miami Fashion District off of 1-95, that's 111. Mayor Ferre: Wait a minute. Sol to do that we have to have some administration in -put on this. And we just can't off the top of our heads pass a resolution with- out some studying. So I think the way to do that is to ask Mr. Andrews if you would have to have - look into this and come back and report to us from thespecifie recommendation. Mr. Sol Meyerson: In the past the City has had no objection to it. In fact they were in favor of 2 exits, no entrance, just exits. Mayor Ferre: In theory it sounds reasonable and I am for it. But I wouldn't the staff in -put ---- Mr. Sol Meyerson: Just a resolution. I don't say we have to put it up. A resolution stating that you would be in favor of it. If we can possibly get it from the State. Mayor Ferre: We have to have some staff in -put in my opinion before we take such a decision. I am for it, but I don't want to take it upon myself and I don't think this Commission should take it upon itself to pass something without some professional study. Mr. Sol Meyerson: All right. How is that sir? Mr. Plummer: The of why we want it. Mr. Sol Meyerson: Justification of why. I can give you many reasons.However, I'll by pass that Mr. Mayor and I will present the reasons to Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Andrews. And we will take that on for future study. Ok? I do not wish to delay by that. Next, I would like to discuss the possibility Mr. Mayor and Commissioners. The possibility of additional security in the Miami Fashion District Area. Security during the business days. We have a tremendous amount of traffic and we have a problem of security, where Charles Whitehead had an article in the Miami Herald. Absolutely decrying our area and frightening people away from it. Which is not so. Our area is not as bad as Mr. Charles White article has so stated. However, is there a possibility that through the policy making through the Commission that we could possibly get some additional security during our business hours? Mayor Ferre: Mr. Andrews, do you want to answer that? Mr. Andrews: I think Mr. Meyerson this should have been something that should have been brought to my attention where I would have had time to address myself to it. Certainly we want to do everything we can, but I have no way of answering him at this time. Mayor Ferre: Well, then again I think the thing to do is to give this --- Mr. Sol Meyerson: Fine. I will give you a reason why and various reasons why we can use additional security. Mayor Ferre: So the reasons that you are going to give me. I am going to add at least four or five that you probably haven't thought of, you know. But that's not the point. The point is that we have a way of doing things in this city and the way of doing it is, it has to go through the administer to process. This Commission can not unilaterally and arbitrarily rule onthings within in -put by the professional people that work for us. Mr. Sol Meyerson: All right, I will put it to the City Manager. Next, in last week it seems from 29th Street down and it seems that 5th Avenue- N.W. 5th Avenue with all the traffic we have now. Because the people are coming into the area. We need some directions from the city. It may have to go into the same channels. I do not know. Traffic lights or caution lights to slow up the traffic;they come tearing down at 50 M.P.H. in this business district with too many people walking around. What can we do about that? Mayor Ferre: That again is a matter of Metropolitan Dade County Transit, We have no control over that, Now we can pass a resolution, Traffic and Transit and Transportation, APR 221975 r.tl that's a thing that again `.•t:t: i 11t-ht!t. .: ill bring back to l:.`: a r'esol.ot io:i ?.t you thin:. appropriate Mr. Andrews .itrd will then pass it onto t ..'t ro. Merv,. the on '. who makes that decision. nt . Se) !t4'y,rr:;cr-t. fine. I'll pre;,pre;s that on to irr. Andrews. Next, is there a l'i, i h i 1. i.t y of renaming N.T,J. 6th Avenue to the Avenue of the Americas? From 20th Street N.W. 20th `;t.rret to N.U. 36th Street? Mayor Ferre: Now, that's something that we have. a Mecioriai' Co:;.mit tee . to do. So I would accept a notion by somebody here that this be sent to the Memorial's Ccl;::,,.ittt.e for further : tutly and there recommendation. Is there .a second? All in favor :.ay "1".Oppose, Ok. Mr. So1.Meyerson: All right. Next, this is the last one. Is it possbile that the merchants and landowners in the Miami Fashion District some how can participate in the Bicenttenial in the City of Miami? Mayor Ferre: Absolutely.: We've got a Bicentennial Committee it's functioning .It's Functioning well.and the chair person of it is Mrs. Nora Swan and I will have Mrs. Nora Swan contact you within the next day. Mr. Sol Meyerson: Very good. I thank you. We've very fast. Good seeing you all. Keep well. Mayor Ferre: Thank you. 19, MRS . WM. APPEARANCE E FORK USE OF VIREQUEST OF GI GIN IAJKEYRCAMPIN�AAREAS I ON Mayor Ferre: Now we will hear Ms..Louise Todaro artd Miss Barbara Moore of the Ci.rl. Scout Council of Tropical Florida to discuss etc.-- Before you :make your presentation. I am sure nobody here is against it. We recently passed a similar one, would you like to propose it? Mrs;. Gordon: .1 would love too. I would just like to get a little information. Could we take a few minutes to find out what the girls want to do? I am for it. Tite Boy Scouts were given permission to use Lummus Isle for Bicentennial carp ground and I assume that's what you want to do on Virginia Key. Something of that nature? Mrs. Wm. Brackmann: We wish to usethe property for Girl Scout Troopcamping on a small basis. One troop at a time at our present thinking. Incidently, Ms. Todaro is not able to be here today. She is in a conference in Atlanta with Miss Moore and Ms. Helen Ludley, Our field Service Director is here to ---- Mrs. Cordon: ))id you state your name for the record? Mrs. Wta, Braclanann: I live at 6940 S.W. I42nd Terrace. Mrs. Cordon: I will move the motion. Mrs. Bracknann, may I ask you a question? We wondered at the time you asked for Virginia Key whether you kt:ew that there was another island in the bay near Lunmus about three or four acre island which is Mrs. Wm. Brackrann: We have our studying on aerial photo . We discovered thatand it was my intent to ask you about that. .I assume you referred to the one ------ Etr:;. Cordon: 1 wondered if you would prefer that Mr. Crouch is an expert on it and 1. think perhaps he can speak to it. Mr..Crouch could you elaborate because you are very familiar with the islands is the bay? Mrs. Bract mann, Fir. Crouch our Assisttint City Manager i ! very familiar with the property. IP:I,UI)LLLt?

Mayor Terre: Why don't you expand, excuse me - why don't you expand your motion to say either Virginia or Sams Island or any appropriate place ---- Mrs. Gordon: We've do it in just the two so it won't leave it wide open and there they might get ---- have to come back here again for some additonal resolution. Mr. Andrews you want to say something? Mr. Andrews: Yes, just that I think what you ought to do is submit this in writit; as to the conditions of the use and so forth. The City Commission at sometime will be developing that portion of the island and we shouldn't make this -- with the understand that it is going to be used for the purpose you inteneded for as long as they can permit that use. But one day it'll be developed and then we'll have to ask Mayor Ferret It's in the hands of the administration. There is a motion. Is there further discussion? Call the roll please. MOTION NO. 75-378 A MOTION OF INTENT TO PERMIT USE OF VIRGINIA KEY, SANDS ISLAND, OR ANY OTHER LOCATION DEEMED TO BE APPROPRIATE BY THE CITY MANAGER FOR GIRL SCOUTS TROOP CAMPING ACTIVITIES 20, REQUEST FOR EXPANSION OF SPORTS DEVELOPMENT CLUB INC, MR ‘ T, FERGL? QN Mr. Ferguson: Thank you very much your honor. I would like to thank you very much for the past S10,000.00 you gave to sports D}velopment Club in behalf of an inter- cultural program that consists of 250 youngsters within the City of Miami. I would like say with that money we have bought athletic equipment. We've had soccer prog- rama, basketball programs and we are now in our baseball program. We had one of the largest ralley on the 19th of December at Allapattah Junior High School. Where- in Father Gibson and Commissioner Rose Gordon and Commissioner Plummer was there. We had approximately over 560 families to support this program in behalf rf eliminat- ing the type of crime that is crowding our community today. In addition to this money, we had an International Olympic Track meet Saturday which Father Gibson and Commissioner Rose Gordon was there. We had approximately over 500 kids participating in an whole- some atmosphere bringing them together. All nationality to be able to understand each other and at the same time keeping them out of crime. I am asking for additional funds because the summer is upon us. We had to turn away a vast amount of kids who wanted to participate because we didn't have the funds to buy trophies or to buy uniforms or to pay for the officials. We are here today asking for additional funds for our Summer Program and before you. You have 1976 budget that we are hoping that you would assist us. iiecause we have a program for our youngsters that would involve them,to keep them out of cri:e- and drugs and to bring then together with instructional sports. Sports that give them the value of our community and America. This is what this program is design- ed for, to eliminate crime, animosity, misunderstanding and to bring them together and the type of communication that is necessary in making them better citizens of tomorrow. Here is some of the students,(Would you please stand)? Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Ferguson, what I believe you are saying to us then is that you want to go and out reach into the community and bring in young men and women who would not be in any program if it wasn't that you were going out to get them and bring them in. Is that it? Mr. Ferguson: Yes na'a m,As you see, turn it around J--- for the Mayor. As you can see the elementary skills that we are dealing with, We pick up the kids after they come out. of Ft';ool. They come out of school at 4:30. We snatch them and put them on a park ai.0 'wv start teaching them \'slues. We start teaching them instructional sports, Friday, Saturday, and Sundae we :;end them away to participate against 6.:.r teams. O;:a.r pair groups and this is the way we really get control of these kids, through sports. And from the performance that you saw. If you can have 500 kids per Saturds' competing against each other without an incident. ,:ithout even any sort of police protection or chaperones. I think that we should take our hats off to these kids and not just recognize them when they get in trouble. I am asking; fcr an additional $10,000,00 for our summer program and hopefully that you can recognize APR 22197 our budget for 1976 which your have before you. Thank you very much. Mrs. Gordon: The first $10,000.00 that you received, how long a period of time did that cover? I am trying to refresh my memories. Mr. Ferguson: This cover the whole year, because that's all you had at that particular time. Mrs. Gordon: Yes, but when did it start? Mr. Ferguson: It started -- Mrs. Gordon: Last October Mr. Andrews: October and November until the next October and November. Mr. Ferguson: Yes. Mrs. Gordon: Yes, it was budgeted for the full year, but he is saying is he's turning boys and girls away from the program. Unless it receives additional funds, is that -- Mr. Ferguson: Right. We didn't have sufficient uniforms. We didn't have sufficient trophies and we didn't anticipate as many kids as we had Saturday. And we hate to have kids standing on the sidewalk and we saying you can not participate because we don't have the funds. Of course, there is only so much we can take care of because of our budget. Right now we are going into our baseball program where we have 16 teams and that means uniforms for 16 boys that are participating in the program. Mrs. Gordon: Baseball. What about other games like soccer? Mr. Ferguson: Well, we have soccer, we have basketball and as you saw Saturday that was our track program that we had about 500 kids involved. When we come to soccer that means we have to have at least 22 teams involved, because that's going into antf:ar urea that we are trying to teach and develop at the same time. Mr. Plummer: You know the funny part about it is, why didn't you talk to A. Eisenberg then talk to us. She's got all of our money and we ain't got none? Mr. Ferguson: What I am saying is if you can see and experience Commissioner Rose Gordon and Commissioner Gibson, and of course the Mayor spoke to a banquet and them has not been yet a performance by the City of Miami where in so many people have participated in suffort of this program. Mayor Ferre: Tom you made your point. We all agree with you. The question is the money, so Mr. Andrews? Mr. Andrews: There are no funds at this time and there is no way for me to predict where the funds will be available. You have already cataloged some priorities which we are trying to fill and we are not doing a very good job of filling those completely. Mr. Mayor in all fairness please don't misunderstand I am certainly not against this program, but you are weighing a program in which they're providing some specialized treatment in which they are furnishing rniforms and furnishing a lot of other. things. We did that through our parks system program in which the kids have to go out and get their own uniforms and in some instances, their own bats and balls. We'd have thetu standing 10 deep. Mayor Ferre: Not only that but we'd have to spend millions of dollars it. Mr. Andrews: And we'd just have limited funds. Mayor Ferre: But that's not the main point. I think the main point is - We're looking for funds for Annette Eisenberg, so I'll put it to you real simply. The project that you are doing right now is the one that has priority. You think you want to let so some of you Honey for this project? What kind of programs are they? Ms. Eisenberg: INAUDIBLE Mayor Ferry: Well, our probleru Paul do you see any where we can get some funds anywhere? Mr. Andrews: I hate to give you any encb ragement or commitment at this time. All we can say is we recognize how important this is and I can sense from the 0'4 APR 2 21975 Commission's attitude that they've placed value on this and the best that I can tell you at this time is we'll continue to search for funds and hope we can fund these other programs and come down to this program. Mayor Ferre: How about some of these programs that are not being funded? Mr. Andrews: That's what I was trying to explain to the Commission. We're taking funds away from those programs that are not utilizing their moneys and rechanneling them into Mayor Ferre:. We've set some priorities and why don't you put this as next on the list. We.have two or three others that we've already approved. Mrs. Eisenberg: less ? You'll have some answers within three or four weeks won't you, or Mr. Andrews: I hope to have an answer for you at the next Commission Meeting on the 8th. Mrs. Eisenberg: All right, fine. Mayor Ferre: Tom you come back then and we will see if we can help you. Thank you Mr. Ferguson for the wonderful job you are doing for this community. We are all very grateful to you. Ok. PERSONAL APPEARANCE 21' MRS, F. WILLS AMERICAN CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION OBJECTION TO FREE RENTAL USE OF CITY FACILITIES TO CHURCH ORGANIZATIONS Mrs. F. Wills: Executor Director of American Civil Liberties Union of Florida. Because the city has been following a policy for a number of years that we feel is in violation of the first amendment to the constitiution. I've asked for the time today to raise some points that I think will be of int- I hope will be of interest to the Commission. I received the minutes of the Commission meetings and I have been following some of the procedures and unfortunately I get the minutes after the meeting. The event has taken place and then it's too late to come forward and ask for discussion on some of the requests that come to you wher they generally are voted on on the same day as the request comes before you. I think the discussion is needed. The first amendment to our constitution grants special consideration to two institutions in this country. (1) is the press and the other is the church. As relates to the church the first amendment says the congress shall make no law respecting established of religion or prohibiting the free exercise there- of. The establishment section refers to institutions. The free exercise thereof refers to individuals. By individuals - it meant the state cannot impose religion can anyone nor can it deprive an individual of practicing that religion. It's to the institution section that I am speaking. Tax funds may not be used to support and establish religion. I think we would all agree on this. Obviously, if the city were to tax for religious purposes you would know that you were in violation of the first amendment. Direct taxation is obvious,but in direct use of tax moneys is less obvious. The policies that you've been following. We believe is an indirect use of tax moneys for religious purposes. In some instances, you have diverted various department funds to other departments in order to underwrite religious organizations use of public facilities. We want churches to refrain from political activity and I think it's only fair to request that the state refrain from religious activity. In October of last year the city granted some funds to the Catholic Service Bureau, St. Luke's Center. On October of last year, the city waived a rental fee for the use of Bayfront Park Auditorium for the Company, for the purpose of holding their fourth annual community wide Thanksgiving prayer breakfast. On February of this year, the city waived the rental fee for the use of the parking lot at Miami Marine Stadium by St. Kiernan's Catholic Church for a carnival. These are just some of the activities that you have endorsed that I have kept track of. In December of 1973, I myself brought suit against the city objection to the use of Miami Marine Stadium free of c.hirgc for the Easter sunrise service. This suit was filed in Federal Court it was muted on the morning of the case as the city then huJ received payment for Miami Marine. Stadium. The judge in that case raised points which I thin% the City Attorney who was there at that Lime would agree that he probably would have ruled in my favor. The courts have said that a law is unconstitutional if it's purpose of primarily effect is to advance religion. I think that it could also be said that a APR 221975 resolution or an action is the same .and the __ way. I think the ;action of waiving the fees leaves you vulnerable as .< public body to the questions t.li as : Do you give more aid to Protestants Organizations that come before you thee you do to Catholic Organizations? Do you give more relief Catholic Organization then you do to Jewish Organizations? If the Black Moslems or the Hari Krishna ce me before you and ask for space in waiving of rental fees, would this be granted? These are questions that I think you leave yourselves open and they could legiti- mately be raised. In the case of vs. U.S. Supreme Court said the state must maintain neutrality toward religion. In a constitutional democracy we cannot afford to divide the community into superior and imperil groups, racially or religiously. Granting benefits, give some degree of sponsorship and such sponsor- ship should be avoided as at those results entanglement with the city and the org- anization that it gives the benefit to. Some questions that you might ask are: Is the city facilities sought, because of the waiver of the rental fee? (2).Are there other facilities available? (3) . Do church commercial events warrant a waiver of fees? There are two kinds of public facilities. One of them might be called the absolute public area, such are public parks and public streets. These public areas are those dedicated to general public use such as: Public parks and streets. Access to the use of these areas must remain open to all groups both religious and non -relig- ious. Subject to such regulations as maybe necessary so as not to disturb the public peace. The second category are public institutions, such as schools, libraries, and other buildings and they are not normally proper forums for religious ceremonies or other gatherings for the purposes of furthering religion. Since alternative facilities usually are available for the expression of religious beliefs,the use of public instit- utions for such purposes such be restricted to those instances in which no other facilit- y is available and only during those hours when the public institution is not in use for the public purpose for which it was dedicated. More over so as not to create the impression of state establishment or sponsorship of religion. Access to public instit- ution shall be opened on a first come, first serve temporary or occas ionally basic to all groups.----- should be available to .all on a first come, first serve basic, temporary ncr_saainnally to all groups and similar need of facilities. Use of the facilities shall he conditional furthermore on the payment of fair rental value for the -acility. If the facility is not available to all groups equally religious or non religious. Then the question of censorship can be raised. If available to all religious sex then you get into the question , are you into estahiishr:cnt of religion? The U.S. Supreme Court in anotherdecision said, the establishment of religion clause of the 1st Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor. the Federal Government can sat -up a church. Neither can. ('asslaws which hate one religion hate all religions.or prefer one religion over another. No tax in any amount large or small can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions. Whatever they maybe called or whatever form r.h-,- n:ay adopt eo teach or practice relieio:a. Neither a state nor the Federal Government can . p .aiy or secretly participate in the affair.; of any religious organization or vice %erso. In the words of Jefferson, the clause against the establishment of religion by law was intended to erect a wall of separation between church end state. I would like to just also -- that state sponsorship of religious organizations diminishes the independence of the church. Mayor Ferre: Mrs. Wills excuse me for interrupting , but in the interest of time. Because you are quoting a law and I am not a lawyer and I think that Mr. Lloyd- you are going to have to give us a legal opinion on all of this, because obviously we are getting deeply into the law. I just can as Paul Andrews just pointed out-- I looked at the legal tender of this country and it says,in quarter it says"Liberty" and "in God We Trust". "Liberty" and "1 a God We Trust". "Liberty" and "In God We Trust" etc, from a penny to a dime, a quarter. n dollar bill has it, you know. And I don't know whether the American Civil Liberties Union has taken that to court. I am s.e you have. I don't know what --- Mrs. F. Wills: No. it's ',ever been contested. Mayor Ferre: Whether it's going to be contested or not. And I. am not trying to be vicious. I am not trying to be flip about this. Obviously it's a serious matter. I happen to be a believer that if it's not against constitution any civic or philan- thropic that is coi.ng, something for the good of the citizens of Miami that I am certainly willing to help. No matter what their philation is. I think you can use the revers, sut the fact that they happen to have a religious denomination. Jewish, Prc,L. ton, Catholic, or what have you or Church of Science or Scientology, or Hari Krishna or atheist group or ;.ir:ybcdy who has also a regilious purpose. Fcr us to not teat them what all the o:.hcr citizens have would also be discriminas.or.y against Clem. Let me put it t:: you r:.other way. I think ii .; group came before us and wanted to use for the purposes ::,t having an affair at the parking lot of the Mari, c Stac.ium, now just to usP one example and they were the Boy Scouts or anybody else. 1 wean this City Commission has a record of saying "yes" to everybody. I don't know thse we ever said "no" to anyhosy. Now if that's a violation then it gets into a pu APR 22 1975 legal matter and I am just not ---- . Mr. Lloyd I think this is getting into the constitution of the law and I am just saying that if we can and I am just expressing my opinion. I don't think this Commission should say "no" to any- body who wants to do something for --- what we determine to be a good purpose for the public in general, but if it runs against the constitution,that's some- thing that you will have to give us some legal advise on and we will have to take it up at some other time. We got one coming up today as I pointed out to you. Now, Pat Boone wants to come down here and with his family and the Miami Herald is sponsoring something which is clearly of a religious purpose. I would normally Mrs. F. Wills: I have no objection to the use of the city property for any purpose. So long as you don't give them the special benefits. Because I say the 1st Amendment prohibits ---- Mayor Ferre: Paul, I don't think that they have any special benefit more than any- body has. We waived the rental -- There isn't one Commission Meeting that comes here that we don't waive the rentals to a half a dozen group of people that want to use the auditorium, Bayfront Park, the Marine Stadium, ---- for this, for the March of Dimes, for the Cancer Society, now for us to say that we are going to give it to the CAncer and to the Heart Institution, but not to the Miami Herald for Pat Boone Family Day for me it would discriminatory. It would be just the reverse. Mrs. F. Wills: If I may make one point that Judge Eaton made the day that my case went before him. He said that since the city was going to be taking funds,(I think it was from a publicity department to underwrite the expenses of the Easter Sunrise Service that that would have been improper), because then you are taking public funde and underwriting a religious program and that you can't do this. Mayor Ferre: I tell you, I think that there obviously is a fine line now and I think that we are going to have to establish very clear guidelines as to when we can or can- not. Because I can take that argument and I'd use it to this extent. The City of Miami has a Marine Stadium. The Marine Stadium loses money. Ok? That means the taxpayer subsidizes. Right? Now, for the Miami Herald and the Pat Boone Family to come down here and have the Pat Boone Family Show cf which that's strictly religious purpose. If we were to say "no" and if they were to pay because they had no other place to go, then in effect the tagpayers would be relieved of that amount of money. So for us to give them that facility and waive the rental, in effect is using tax funds. Mrs. F. Wills: That's right, you are putting yourself further in debt. Mayor Ferre: And we do that and for the Cancer Society and we do it for Red Cross, we do it Boy Scouts. So you can take than argument and use it and spread it in every single time that we waive a fee. Mrs. F. Wills: No. No, because all the other organizations aren't covered by the 1st Amendment. Mayor Ferre: Well, ok. Now, I tell you that's a legal argument and I think that our City Attorney is going to have to investigate that and give us a legal guideline to go by. Father Gibson: Mr. Mayor,I don't want to talk about the legality of what you are saying because naturally I am on the other side. Mrs. F. Wills: Not necassarily. Father Gibson: I want to tell you something, you know we are living in such paralytic times and I want you to think about this. Anything or any group or any organization that can help us to get out of the muddle and the mess we are in, we better run for them! We better run for those folks and we better run for that institution! You know, we want to separate c µrch and state,until we don't even want to pray no more, we don't want to have none ofqfngs. And then what we do is we remove out of our lives the moral imp- erative to et 3eaat do some things thet we ought to do. Now, I am not arguing the legal- ity of separating, church and state(do you understand)? I am talking about jst e r':-ivor. Just survivor and you know, you all. Nobody loves Civil Liberties any more than I oo,;)e- cause you kaow I been on chat ki'.k. But you know what worries me, "everytime I look around you are right there on me". Do you know what I am disturb about,"that you are really pricing me out of the business", I am talking about morality, you are pricing me out of the business? The day we lose our sense of moral imperative we better get out of it and you are talking about just the legalistic. 1'. 8 ? APR 221975 Mrs. F. Wills: No, I am not. Father Gibson: Well Dear, I hDpe you don't think 1 am aware of what you are saying, because you know- I represent the church. I represent the government and I redresent N.A.A.C.P. so I think I --- and I am in Civil Liberties. I am one of the men er.s,-- you know, I am just disturbed. Because after I. get through with all of that other business I still have to go hang my hat on something for which 1 see no visible tang- ible results, and I want to say this so you can know whether I were up here or out there I would be fighting the position that you hold. Only because I think that we have forgotten all about honor, integrity, character, morality. Mrs. F. Wills: That's what I am speaking about. Father Gibson: Ok. That ain't what you are saying right now. Mrs. F. Wills: I am saying it in this way. I am saving that if you can become aware of the constitutionalprohibi.tionsof the 1st Amendment, which says you cannot support a governing body cannot take public funds to support a religious group. This is the law, This is the very basic law of this of this country and I am saying that if you know this but you ignore Lt because you feel your heart secure and your purpose is good and therefore you will use public funds for this pur.pnose invioiation of the law. Then I am saying where is your morality and where is your integrity? Mayor Ferre: All right Mrs. Wills. I will tell you, see we can spend two hours argu- ing the philosophy of this back and forth. 1 Mrs. F. Wills: I came only to make you aware of the problem. I hope to make you think about this, because to us it is a very important one. It's the question of the founding of the basic law of this country. I labor in the vineyards of my belief and constitut- ional law and it's frustrating, but I believe in it personally and that's what the organization Mayor. Ferre: And we respect that and you are an attorney. Mrs. F. Wills: No, I'm not. Mayor Ferre: Oh I thought - w?.11 by the way you talk you ought to he. Mrs. F. Wills: Well, I believe in the constitution that leaves me to talk about i Mayor Ferre: I. will tell you I would like before we end this. I would like for Mr. Lloyd to read into the record that part of the memorandum you just rest' nee and then later on if you would Mr. Lloyd, would you put it in a memorandum to all memberE of the Commission and set down what you think is a legal guideline's. Mrs. F. Wills: I appreciate that and this is what I hope be accomplished. Thank you. Mr. Lloyd: Addressing ourselves particularly to the upcoming resolution regarding the use of the Miami Stadium, I believe by the Miami Herald for the Pat Boone Program. As I understand it, the stadium is to be given only rent free upon the payment of the event personnel and other cost for lighting and insurance,etc. Is that correct Mr. And- rews? In this particular instance than this is a policy of providing uses of Municipal fccA lities to,bascially non-profit cooperations at a nominal fee which is designed ---- Mayor Ferre: I want Mrs. Wills--- Mrs. Wills don't leave us now. This is for your benefit. Just listen for a second. Mr. Lloyd; This is designed to have a non religious purpose. Any benefit or religious organization is merely incidental in this particular case. Then if that's the case which we believe it is. The providing of such uses we believe does not violate any provision of they consitition either state or federal. In a case where a public school uses a place of worship by a church during the construction of church buildings and where there was no showing of Financial rtssistancee other than inconsequential wear and tear of the building, which is what you have here. And no preference of one sect over another. While the courts held that this was not violative., of the constitution. Mr. 1'lui. ter: That means that the tferaid comes out a winner. flat's what it ,13,y means, Mr, Lloyd; Or anyone else who ---- Mr, Plummer: The Miami Daily News would not be accorded the same privileges. APR ?1975 Mr. Lloyd: Well that's the immediate problem at hand and I address myself to that. Mr. Plummer: I understand. I think that the proper thing for Mrs. Wills to do Is to contact your office, look into the points that she brings out and then you can come back and report it tc us at a later time. Mayor Ferre: Well thank you very much. Mr. Lloyd: There are other points which I have not addressed myself to which I would be extremely happy and delighted to have a long conversation with Mrs. Wi1l'. and then after we did to address myself particularly to those particular points. Mayor Ferret All right. Well thank you .very much Mrs. Wills. Thank you Mr.. Lloyd. Is there anybody here to .talk on Sodium Vapor Lights in Kennedy Park? Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor, this was information I supplied the Commission as to what we ---- Mayor Ferre: In the interest of time I am going to skip over it and come back to it. 22, BLOOD BANKS Mayor Ferre: Rev. Mc Kinney has been here for two hours and I apology for th{s long wait. Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor, we have been evaluating the process that has been made in reference to controlling the plasma banks and blood in the City of Miami. I met with Dr. Bolker Who is here for Dr. Saslaw, Peter (I hope I pronounce your name properly) Mr. Peter Anc---- Anton---- or Mr. Mc Cue, the City Attorney was present. Our City Physician Dr. Toto and Rev. Mc Kinney, we all gathered, including Mr. Crouch. We gathered to discuss the County's Ordinance, the County Code, in reference to controll- ing the operations of the blood banks and plasma facilities in the City and we compared it to the City of Miami Code. I want to point out to the City Commission that the problem still. exists. That the solution we believe is to implement those provisions that are contained in the City of Miami Ordinance which has not yet been put into effect and if possible, if possible and this was a choice that we presented to the Country Officials that they considered taking all of those provisions in the City Ordinance & embuding them into the County Ordinance so that they would he in a position to continue to maintain control in regonizing that this is a health function. We have not gotten a completely clear answer that that's possible and we may get one this afternoon when you ask these people to discuss this with the Commission. There are some alternatives to - that I would like the Commission to direct the City Attor- ney even if we embody the City provisions in the County Ordinance. I would like the Commission to instruct the City Attorney to create an ordinance similar to the night club ordinance for the City of Miami. Wherein the City Manager has the opportunity to review prior to the issuance of new licenses to the blood and plasma banks if there are violations and they are substantial violations. Mayor Ferre: What do you mean new licenses? Mr. Andrews: Well, we issue a license, a business license to these people to operate each year and prior to the issuance of thoselicenses there would be an opportunity to examine the violations that occur under the existing ordinances which they operate in the city and in doing so the City Manager would have an opportunity then to determine whether a license should be issued or not. Mr. Plummer: That ridiculous. If you put in those kind of laws it's not going to be enforced any more than the night club laws.that being enforced. Mayor Ferre: Before we get into it J.L. , which I know we are all anxious to get into, I would like to first hear from the Health Council. Is there anybody here from the Health Clinic Council? All right, would you come forward and address us to where you think •', -Land and whu is here from --is Dr. Saslaw represented here ? All x i ,ht, if you would come forward sir and I don't know which one of you gentlemen should 1peak first? 1 APR 221975 Dr. Abraham Bolker: I am emplcyed by the County Health Department. I am the h.,.d of the Health Facilities and Chronic Disease Section. Dade County Dept. of Health as most of you probably knows an arm of the division of health. A section of the state, Division of Health & Rehabilitation Services. We are responsible to the needs of the County, but under the direction of the state. We are at present tarry- ing out the guidelines that are set by the ordinances and the amendments legislative by the County Commission. These ordinances incorporate many of the rules and regulation that are set up by the F.E.A., Food & Drug Administration, 'the State Division of Laboratories and the A.A.B.B.(American Association of Blood Banks). We cover only plasma periphrases facilities and including the donors that present themselves at _ these establishments, We cover donor :identification, laboraior.y testing, alcohol, and blood determination. Inform consent for each donor. Provision for physician services and examination of the donor. Facility now, is charged .50c per bleed and checking with our business office, we find that the funds received from the facilities today cover the cost of running the operation., I have been told by my superiors in the Health Department to inform you that we do not have the resources to engage in any allied program as set forth in the City Ordinance. Health Department Physicians may not be used for any donor examination or facility severance. Let me interject a few points with regard to the City Ordinance. First of all, the ordinance calls for an independence agency to sJpervise the blood donor business. The City Ordinance includes facilities which engage in whole blood operation which the County Ordinance excludes and the whole blood operation of course. includes John Elliott. These facilities and there are other outside the city that. does only whole blood operation. These other facilities and addition to John Elliott would therefore have to comply with all the directors and pay for the all bleeds. As most of you know, the City Ordinance call for a dollar for each bleed. They have to pay $25.00 at the onset for each donor license. Every four months(4) they have to pay an additional five $5.00 and in addit- ion to that they have to get a permit of certification every (4) four months attesting the fact that they are in good health. This by chance would have t d.n through some medical source. In other words, in addition to having an original ccert ty them as being in good health, they'd have to get some medical source presumable a doctor to examine them again every (4) four months to satisfy this provision. And I dare say that getting a doctor at this point and time with our medical malpractice problem coming up. I don't know how many would be motivated to engage in this type of performance. - Mr. Plummer: Well, let me ask this question. Don't speak to whether we can get it. Is it a good thing or not? Is it in your estimation something that something that would_ be beneficial or is it something that would surplusage? Dr. Abraham Bolker: That's a good obversation. Mr. Plummer: No, that's the gut issue. Dr. Abraham Bolker: It would be my educated opinion that the doctor on the source. The doctor at the facility even though he's hired by the facility would be more qualifie rather more qualified in this particular instance to evaluate a blood donor. Because I don't think that any reasonable business, this type of business would put a donor on the table where he has to lie there for an hour and one half with a large needle in his arm would avoid -- would over look the fact that he may be a potential source of trouble to them. Mayor Ferre: You know, Dr. Bolker I am sorry. I have a problem that I am very out- spoken and sometimes that gets me into trouble. With all do respect to you. Now, I see why we have a problem. You know with an attitude with that. Of course, it's not being inforced. And of course, we are not solving our problem and I am telling you right now that obviously, it seems very obvious to be from your comments. That there is no way that the City of Miami can look for any solution from your department. Mr. Plummer: Well, let me ask the good Doctor, if I may, one simple question? Dr. you are familiar with the way these blood banks are operating today, is that correct? All right, sir. Do you express the same concern as to the operation of these blood banks that this Commission has? Do you feel they are operating properly? Do you feel they are in need of more supervision? What is your general feeling as it relates to the blood banks as it operates to the City of Miami? Dr. Abraham Bolker: I think c:onsideriny the type of operation it is and the small and many ways in which rules and regulations with the best of control maybe be circum- vented. But not important ways. I think they are being run in fairly good shape. We have a staff in my office. We have a microbacteriology that goes to each facility each week, inspects the books, looks at the donor, he sees that everything is proper according to the rules and regulations that are set up. Mr, Plummer; For my own ignorance Doctor, is it feasible : that a man who is an alchol- ya APR 2 21975 is i.s a man that you would take plasma or whole blood from? Dr. Abraham Bolker: He is tested when he comes to the facility. He has to under- go a alchol determination test with a special machine. The people that ire using the machine have to be certified by us that's capable of operating the machine. Mayor Ferre: We have somb of the operaters here. I would like to for just a shviw of hands. I would like t6 see how many of you in the audience are interested in this subject directly. How many of y)u are involved in operation? Thank you. Father Gibson: Mr. Mayor, let me ask the doctor a question? Doctor have you ever expressed to your superiors oUr concerns? Dr. Abraham Bolker: Yes. Father Gibson: Have they ever expressed them to the state? Dr. Abraham Bolker: Yes, in fact we've had meetings with the state people and the state people are purgating and projecting that they are going to come up with a set of rules and regulations. I don't think it's going to be in this session. Mayor Ferre: Or maybe not in this century either. Father Gibson: Let me ask this Doctor? You've asked our people to join you in making an appeal to other than those - the people locally. You see what I am concerned about is and as I listened to you and watched you. You know, in the ministry we learn not only to listen to a man, but to watch him. I tell you what disturb me. The rules and regulations I am sure you understand them. The rules and regulations that were made are made in a general term to meet the needs say, the state generally. Now, if most of the laws that pertain to the problem we have more or less gea>toruie America. Rule Florida (that's right) right and bring a native. I am not so sure some of those fellows really understand the buying and the flight we get in being a Metropolitan City. not only they don't understand it. They don't give a doggone! What I am concerned is h.!re a man who is the first contact who I am not so quite sure. I am not very sure anyway has ex- pressed the urgency. Now you may have, but you know L would like it better if you had some of the people on this staff joining with you. Expressing the urgency of our matter. Dr. Abraham Bolker: I am not speaking from a socialogical point of view. I am speaking from a practical point of view. An operative point of view. The other matter will have to be decided on and discussed by you people and the other people 1 am going to talk in front of you. Father Gibson: Well., Doctor. There i.s no possible way in the world to separate ;inL! from the other. They go hand in hand. Dr. Abraham Bolker: I appreciate that. Father Gibson: And you know, what I hear you saying somewhat now makes me want to join with the Mayor. Dr. Abraham Bolker: I appreciate that, but other people can probably be more knoweldg- able and express themselves better in that regard than I can. Father Gibson: Ok. Let me end with this. You know, I am always concerned when people come before us. At the very caliber and I admit I am broken for words and I Haan not really able to express myself so that I may not be misunderstood, but if I know anything. My wife is a Nurse, ok? I know a little something about the Health Department, because she used to work for them, you wouldn't know that so I am telling you. And I am not so sure. I am not so sure always. The since of urgency with which the public addre;t'es itself to an issue. The Health Department addresses itself to the same problem with the same eager enthusiasm Mayor Ferre; Well, we have to move on now, so I. would like to hear from the health & Planning Council. Mr. Pete An---- : 1 am a member of the staff of the Health Planning Council. lirst of all 1 would like to communicate what action our board has taken on this issue.,and the action was taken January of last year when this prcblem first crams up. i`+,.• roc_ ommendation that the i'.oard of Directors approved was that regulations re;a,. ' ar, ilw questton of plasma in Dade County should be enforced on a County Wide Basis. In other others the County Ordinance would be the appropriate route to take. Secondly, that the Health Department would be the appropriate body to implement such an ordinance. And lastly, that the primarily direction of the ordinance would be to protect those donors that could potentially put themselves at risk. IMMIMIEWIN A P 7\ &,, 1, i 5 Mr. Plummet: That should be first. Mr. Pete An--- Well, maybe I had them in the wrong order. In the area of donor protection, the board said that the quality of health of the individual that3Sgiving the ( donating the blood) should be clearly stated and clearly un- stood as being that of a good health. Secondly, that the amount that the ind- ividuals donated should be well monitored. That was the action that our board took. Subsequently the County Commission passed an ordinance as you are all aware and currently the Health Department is monitoring the Plasma Collection System in Dade County. They have a staff that does this on a full time basis. The ordinance itself incorporates the thinking of the Food and Drug Administration on this issue and incorporates many of the criterialsthat the Food and Drug Admini- stration requires from t'ie Plasma Ccllection Operations. In other words, the Health Department currently has both the .authority and the responsibility to take whatever action is needed to assure that there is quality control within the Plasma Collection Operations. Father Gibson: I didn't hear that'. [ didn't hear that nor did i understand it. Repeat that again please. Mr. Pete An----: The whole thing. Father Gibson: No, that last sentence. Mr. Pete An----: The Health Department apparently has both the authority and the responsible to take whatever action is necessary to assure that there is a quality system that's running in the regards of the collection of plasma. I don't work for the Health Department. It's my understanding that their monetary system is check- ing violations, informing operators of violations and causing them to correct them. Mayor Ferre: Are you satisfied with that? Mr. Pete An----: To this point I would he satisfiee with the health ripe is t the control system and this speaks to my next comment and this is speaking on ;is a staff person that collected information for task force to help planning council. That 1� that we try to approach the issue ;is a health issue. Now, there is another issue involved and that's the issue of Community Welfare and it may very well he that to Community Welfare should be taken into consideration by this Commission Ind ad•p!irg any ordinance that would be appropriate to protect the community welfare. As far as state action is concerned the staffs of the two Health 6 Rehabilitation Se*viers Committees in Tallahassee have discorded any action on state-wide control this year. because in their opinion there would be somewhat costly in a re -:session every year. Mayor Ferre: And that's wait we keep ruiuiing up against. Mr. Pete An----: Once again I am just communicating with them. The information that I received from those groups. Finally, this specifically in regard to this ordinance. I think the Commission should he very clear in understanding that there is included, at least the way I read the ordinance Those individuals that donate whole blood as well as plasma. Mayor Ferre: That should not he iii.:luded. Mr. Pete An----: Weil, maybe Mr. Lloyd can clear Celt up for me. But !.he way 1 rim reading it, it sounds that if whole blood and plasm:, are being considered in the same way. Mayor Ferre: No. no. 1 would hope that that's not the case. Mr. Lloyd: 1f it is the case we can „mend ine_. Mayor Ferre: All right. Thank you very much. I would like to hear from some of the citizens who are observers on a daily basis on what's going on. Who would like to speak first. Dr. Stokes and Rev. Mc Kinney. Dr. tit Les: Think you your to nor. Members of :he Commission.You know this is somethi.,.•, where we better bite the bullet. We keep talking; in platitude,- : all 't,•, time. We don't seem to he Betting; any place with it. When we moved into the new cations from the yr r.' leginning. We observed about 20 to 30 transit sitting on the N.E. corner c,f our campus. They would start gathering out there about 6:00 clock in the morning tor the center to open. Then when they crime out of the center, they would gut a cup of e•ol '�•t and they would sit over there. We've had them wandering through the building. APR2•> 1975 Through the bookstore. We've had to close the restrooms on level one at the Downtown Campus because of the overflow of these transits. We've had some unfortunate scenes in our library. Up its high as the 6th floor on the campus because of this. We've had students who have been afraid to go out and wait for the bus, The Miami Beach `pus stop is right there on the corner of N.E.4th Street & 2nd Avenue, Because of profanity, of obscene calls and also just in- security in general. In the past month there has been a complete reversal. The environment is just beautiful down there now. Do you know why? Because it was closed about a month ago. And I don't think it takes a doctor to see what kind of health some of the these people are in, because 1 have literally seen them drug into building. And I have seen them collapse when they come out. I think all we would have to do is go over at the corner of the Fire Station on N.L. 1st Avenue & 5th Street and look at some of the calls that they've made. [ dare say that would give us some statistics in a hurry about the condition of some of these people. So there is no doubt in my mind what needs to he done and I will do what ever I can. But I think we are here to help people. We are here to help those people who go in the blood banks as well as people that attend the campus. I think it's a disgrace for a city to let something like that exist. Thank you. Rev. Mc Kinney: Your honor and members of the Commission. As you know this is began for me in July of 72 when I fell over a rive bandit and a died on the back part of our parking lot. It continued later on,when a newspaper reporter and I was asked out of the blood bank and then after I had myself gone through it: in that one and the one on ith Street . Still we weren't able to have anything to do with it the one on 5th Street of course, had the die in 21 or 22 at the same day. Ok, that was a battle. And then the task force was appointed by the County. Dr. Stokes and I have served on it on countless number or meetings. All we can say is that until about a month ago the center on 4th Street was doing around 200 a day. We even finally invited just a few fews ago. The week before they closed. I believe the City Manager came over and observed between 6:30 and 7:00 forty went in that door. Mr. Andrews, I don't believe that during the hour we was standing there you saw any- one rejected. No one was rejected and some of them either had not awaken or they had not gone to sleep, one or the other. As a result of it during the night. Now, we have another problem. It's interesting our staff comes back and we try to figure out who is going to buy cokes in the afternoon, because we want to know which ones has been panhandled the most times during lunch. But for a month we haven't been panhanOIA once. Mr. Ball who has that hotel by the side of the Blood Bank, he said it's just like starting life all over again and he was General Banfleet's jeep driver during th' Greek's uprising when the Communists tried to take them over. He said,"it was safer running the General up and down the mountains in Greece then it has been Living right there by the side of that Plasma Bank". In a ten day period just before this bank closed, a man came out of that door wi th a sandwich in his hand and another man tried to take it away from him and hit him and that man died. When he hit Iti,; heed against that wall he died two days later on a weekend in the hospital. The campus restaurant next door we keep count on everything; that happens. Behind there when one--- you see the difficulty from the Plasma Bank is a reject as 'ell as the one that's excepted, because the rejects got to have some money. And he is going to get it either panhand- ling or stealing or something else or he might do like one recently during that same ten day period when he went and opened the pit cart underneath the gasoline tank and set a car on fire right behind the Blood Bank. "Cheek tht' Fire Department records.' By the time they got around there he was trying to burn up another car in Mr.! parking lot. We have traced it from one end to the other and we can only say to you that for the last 30 days it has really been nice. We are no longer looking over our shoulders. And the question is, "why is the Fifth Street Plasma Bank closed now?" Did the County close it? Did the t;lty close it? Who closed it? The Federal. Government closed it, didn't they? Didn't the F.E.A. closed it ,"Doctor"? Right. They had to bring the Federal Government down here to get it closed and although it says they are closed for alterations, I guess alterations covers a lot of sense. I suggest to you that you adopt this ordinance which we have been hoLding in advance for a long period of time. With the necessary corrections which have already been suggested here and that we work out some way that we can work more cooperatively with the County and the Health Planning Council. It isn't fair and we really do like now what we are experienc- ing and we would like to continue to experience that. 1 Mayor Ferre: Reverend, T might I am just going to express my opinion at this time and then if anybody else wants to talk that willbe fine. I chink that we have dilly dallied on this time for two years. J thank we in the City of Miami have Kent over bnck.wara trying to wait for t.'tc Metropolitan Dade County, to th . Health Department, to State, J. think it is a bad, bad page in our history. Mike Calhoun who i:; sitti p, in the audience remembers when all this time started hitting tite front pages of the newspapers three nears ago, You were sitting on the Commission. Harvey Rubin made a big to-do about it. Everybody made a big to-do about it, It was going to be corrected immediatet‘ Sig: months went by and nothing that l shouldn't interfer, that the city had no right or reason to get into this time. That the problem was going co be cured. 1 ask Rev. Mtn APR Kinney, they served on a panel: We had meeting with at the City Attorney's Office. Dr. Saslow had representives. Mr. An--- had, I think you went to several of those meetings. We went back and forth, back and forth. We finally wrote a resolution. which has been a year now. Then we gave 90 days. 90 days of abeyance bec•aose the County was going to come forward with some very reticent a -Ad very tough laws. They have never done it. What they have has never been enforced and if it has been enforced the result is that any way you slice it, it's still there. My problem isn't with the whole blood banks. I am talking strictly about the commercial profit making plasma banks. Now, I have no objections to somebody making money off of somebody's blood. That's up to them and if they want to buy plasma and sell plasma that's great. Humanity needs plasma. I am not arguing that. But certainly, I don't think that the way it's been regulated is fair. I don't know what the reality is. That what it has become is a magnet for every panhandlerand drifter that has no other way of making a living comes down to these plasma banks and survives of these plasma banks. Now I am not trying to put these people out of business, but I am concerned on the side effects that it has on the community as a whole. It's been a terrible blight on the Downtown Area. It creates all types of social problems. Arch -Bishop Carroll asked me why," he said that I see that you are on this plasma kick again, what are you going to do when you kick them out of Miami". "Are you going to send them up to Coral Gdbles, or to the County?" I recognize it by spite being strict about these things that we are not going solve the problem, but ladies and gentlemen, what I am concerned about is that we can take one step if we could solve the problem at least part of the social problem that's involved. Perhaps, somehow government is the whole of the r.espsonstbie and stop giving us all of this mumbo jumbo about the recession and how they can't do it at this time. It's obscured , it's ridiculous, it's asinine and it doesn't make any sense. I for one- I'm not going to put up with it any longer and I strongly recommend that this Commission finally stand up and take it's roll and put a put a stricter as we possible can to regulate these people. Hopefully, out of existence and if not at least to the point where it will be tough and we can have some control of some of the social problems that will continuely plague in the Downtown Community. How about the people who live in the Downtown Area or who go to school there or who go to church? Don't they hh e rights too? I think we are done talking? Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Mayor, what are you suggestions---- ? Mayor Ferre: That we immediately implement this ordinance. Mrs. Gordon: All right. Will someone read the ordinance. Mayor Ferre: The ordinance has been passed by this Commission twice and we have Iett in obeyance. Mr. Andrews: As far. as I can read unless ---- Mayor Ferre: It's a question of saying all right. See we've read it first reading. Then we read the second reading, then we amended it, then read it again and passed it. Then we said 90 days, then we kept postponing the thing. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Lloyd will you read it and bring us up on the legality. Mr. Lloyd: This been passed. I am just checking this now with Mr. Andrews. It has been passed on both first and second reading, then I think that there was some type of a resolution holding in .abeyance. The effect of the ordinance. Mayor Ferre: So all we have to do is ---- Mrs. Gordon: Read the ordinance and read the r.esolt:tion. Refresh our memories on both actions. Mayor Ferre: Well- now before we do that who else wants to speak? Rev. Seymour: I stay at 1100 N.W. 89th Street in Miami. 1 am presently the *stater of Edison Blood Plasma Center. It's located on 7th Avenue and b1st Street. I would like for Rev. Mc Kinney or any of the any of the Commissioners to come by my establish- ment which is run I.H.S. Incorporated and 1 will guarantee that all the provisions and al.l. the corrections and all of the apprehensions you are concerned with have beenlvc•d and the only reason I would be apart of this is that it would he solved. One 01 the things that occurred three_ vears ago. I think many crimes occurred three years .ago. l think they made mistakes in building the expressway system which they have cnrrc•c•ted. 1 think that time itself is correcting many of the wrongs that was firstencountered by most of these facilities. I can't speak for them and I am not going to cletend I am defending the whole system of blood banking and plasma pharesis. 1res::t E a ME mw have employed fourteen people. Most of them are Black and other race:-. These people are basically technicians, , doctors, people who Art: tc, h- nicians on centrifuges and brings like this, people who have not had the chance to really experience the technical of the blood banking system. Now what you're proposing in reading that ordinance is to put my particular company out of business. When you stop and think about the harm that's being done to an area I think I'll go back to a statement whereas Mr. Meyerson for the district is asking for more police protection. I think some of the things that you're blaming on the sinne:-s I've experienced at llth Street where I was present and where I started out working. We would call the police for certain things; the police had a certain jurisdiction that stopped at a certain point. They would not heavily guard the area or come by, they would take their own time. There are several points that should be brought out to the commission that were not happening because of enforcement. I think if you stopped and reason of the technical expertise that you're about to get rid of and the areas in which you're dealing with in this recession I think you would turn your vote around and not put such The federal government has a strong ordin- ance, the A.B.B. which is one of the strong organizations in blood banking. The state is now in legislature on the same issue. The county is very strict and I can speak for it because they have put us under ordinances several times. I think we already are being governed very strongly. We have followed the rules and most of these facilities that are putting up signs that state that they're under renovation - it is a renovation, it is a renovation within themselves. They are now to the point regarding the individual's safety. Thera have been these incidents whereas certain undesirable characters have moved out. But I think we have more and you ought to evaluate the new centers, who is operating these centers and the people involved with them and them make a decision. If you don't do it that way then you plan to put from my facility 25 people out of work. Mayor Ferre: We're not, as I understand it, putting anybody out of work. All we're actually doing is, and if you'll read the ordinance I think it'll exactly specify what we plan to do. So why don't you now read the ordinance as it was passed so that we can refresh our memories. Thereupon the City Attorney read the ordinance by title. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, can I speak on a related subject? It's a little bit different because I tell you... Mayor Ferre: Does it affect this matter? Mr. Plummer: I think that it does, 'res. Mayor Ferre: Because I tell you, I'd like to stick just to the subject until we resolve it one way or the other and then I'll.... Mrs. Gordon: Now the resolution that we moved after that. Mr. Lloyd: After that there was another ordinance in which the affective date of this ordinance was changed so that the ordinance then became effective as of. September 30, 1974. Mayor Ferre: In other words we just put it off because we had promises at .:'-s. Gordon: 1974. Ok, but you said we also moved a resolution. Mr. Lloyd: Well, I was confused between... My memory was it was a resolutien but it turned out to be an emergency ordinance just changing the effective date of this ordinance. That's what happened. Then as near as I can determine from the minutes here that administratively it was determined that Mr. Andrews would not begin enforcing the ordinance at that time. Mr. Andrews: Until the county attempted to resolve further.... Mrs. Gordon: We left it on the books but we're not enforcing it. Mr. Andrews: That's right. Mr. Ll yd; AS near as I can determine from the minutes the ordinance with u effeetive date of September 30, 197.E is currently on the books. Mayor Ferre: Now all we're addressing ourselves to is the plasma banks. i hope that if that isn't clear that you bring back appropriate legislation that will clear it up. 9 APR Mr. Lloyd: Then what we could do is by the next Commission Meeting bring back an amendment to this ordinance clearing that matter up if you wish. Mayor Ferre: Yes, but I'd like to see if this commission would, and I would respectfully request that we move on this and get going with it right now, that we not hold back until another meeting. We've held back 2 years now. Mr. Lloyd: Well, as near as I can see..:. Mayor Ferre: And I'd like the Manager's opinion on that. You...? Mr, Andrews: Yes. In fact, very much so. In fact, I think that under this ordinance that now exists the commission is in a position to go ahead and appoint the three board members. We'll have the other amendment which would modify the area in this ordinance but I think you can go ahead with that and I'm going to go ahead setting up the administrative_ organization to go ahead and proceed immediately. Mr. Lloyd: Yes, I think the appropriate thing to do would be for they com- mission to instruct the Manager to go ahead and proceed to enforce the terms of the ordinance as passed. Mrs. Gordon: Also you said a board would have to be appointed. Mr. Lloyd: This ordinance provides for that. Yes. Mrs. Gordon: Therefore, that would have to be done in order to begin enforc- ing it. Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor, I have no reluctancy in offering that motion. The thing that disturbs me right now is that if the city is not in the business of health and the county has the health unit it seems to me that maybe we ought to pass this and force the county to either do it in the bucket or get off it! Now it seems to me that what we need to do is we need to appeal to a higher authority than the local County Health Department. Now we need as a commission cause you know I watch what I see; we need as a commission to take this whole commission and the Manager to the boss over the Health Depart- ment wherever that is. If it is in Chittling Switch let's go there, and tell tem what kind of buck passing we've had and that is for the general health, safety and welfare of the people who live in the confines of the City of Miami. Anything short of that you're whistling in the dark and I tell. you I am willing to offer the motion and then I want to offer a second one that the City - we use it for everything else - send a delegation to your boss and then let them worry about it. Mayor Ferre: All right. Let's talk about the main motion now. Rev. Gibson: That's the motion, I offer the motion. Mr. Plummer: Well, this motion as it's presented here, Mr. Mayor is totally out of context. Mayor Ferre: The motion is the implementation of what was previously passed. Mr. Plummer: No, sir. This is what was previously passed or this is what the attorney has just handed me. Mr. Mayor, the greatest portion of this he pertains to whole blood. It sure does, Mr. Andrews. Mr. Andrews: No, youtll have to read that one section in which it says whole blood or Mr. Plummer: The amount of whole blood not including any coagulates, the amount of whole blood. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Plummer, I would recommend that we pass this today and that we then come back and put it on the agenda again on M.iy 8th. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, my only caution is to you sir that there is no quest- ion you're going to court and when you do that I think you ought to go with'your- hands clean and your hand; in order and 1 don't th;_nk that there is any quest ion .... I would rather go in a proper perspectivo when this thing has been ironed out, eliminate all of those portions which we find needing amendment and thin presented in a bonified form and if need be we can pass it on an emergency basis. :9 (. r� APR . Mr. Andrews: fill right, but I will c;o ahead and administratively begin whet. I need to do to get ready now to... Mr. Plummer: Well ok, if that's what you want. Mr.. Mayor., T would .like to say a few words here because I've got to tell you something. You can make these rules until they run out of your ears and you're really just kidding yourself, Mr. Mayor, the problem as I see it that Dr. Mc Kinley suffers from is not really in fact a blood bank except as they exist as a nucleus for these people - whether you wish to call them undesirables, down-and-outers or what they are - are using the blood hanks for a source for money and a source of convenience and a source of a central focus. Nothing has been said at this commission, and unfortunately so because I felt we were trying to develop a rapport with the Police Department, but Mr. Mayor, as you know and the rest of this commission almost every night of my life 1 walk the downtown area. t hate to tell you what has happened to the downtown area since the law has changed making alcoholism no longer a criminal offense. And most of the law I concur with. We now alcoholic treatanent centers known as live oaks which Mr. Mayor, is the greates joke that was ever perpetrated on the people of the City of Miami. What I'm really saying is this: The city should be putting emphasis in removing these people off et the streets in any manner, shape or form that you can. If these people who, are the undesirables who are creat- ing the problem - the mere fact of giving the fact is not the problem - but the people removing them from the streets because they're a detriment to them- selves as well as to society. This is where I feel we should be addressing ourselves to. Now Mr. Mayor, right now there is not a day that goes by that the City of. Miami., and I want Mr. Andrews to hear this cause I'm sure he's aware of it but he should be, there is not a day that goes by that our Police Department and our rescue squad are not being turned into transportation vehicles or jitneys to try and gent these people intn Live Oaks where beds do not exist. You can no longer supposedly, and I dispute the law, take these people to jail. You have to take them to a treatment center..' Today when a policeman goes to one of these blood banks or Dr. Stokes' school he must first call the dispatcher who in turn must. call Live Oaks with the man's name, his date of birth, his sex and when was the last time her was there to see if there is a bed available to get him off of the street. And in 5O. of the times they are told no, he has been here before we don't want him, no, there is not a bed available; no period, we don't want him. Now T'm saying to you that if you really want tp address what I think is the problem.) wish that: 1 had given thought: and could have requested through the Manager :e have chief Mc Cull.ough, the head cat the rescue department come here and exp.ain the problems that they are every day being exposed to because of the alcoholic problem in Dade County in the City of Miami. Mayor Ferre: I would as I asked before respectfully like to see... because all these people that are here on the pi isma, if ve're not going to pass :some- thing let's let them go and then we'll talk about this other problem which 1 agree is a very serious one. I assume that you'd like to talk about: the plasma hanks. Mr. Leno Morris: Yes, your honor, I would. My name is Leno Morris. T'm sorry I'm not a public speaker and maybe I won't'lcompletely coherent. I was hero a year ago when this happened and the county and I found myself when i heard rill the bad things that were going on going home and going back to our facility and saying, "My God, maybe we ought to be ashamed of ourselves." and I'm not. I'm proud to be a blood banker and we run a fine facility and we've been here a num- ber of years. And what- I'm not understanding is bow, as the woman who was talk- ing about the first amendment brought up although I don't agree with her, is the fact that we are talking about a social problem that has nothing to do with the medical aspect of this thing whatsoever. We run a fine facility. The laws are strict, they're strong. We had a problem years ago. We have had a problem until recently and it has been curing itself and it is fairly well taken care of now. We had no federal regulations that made people conform but we voluntar- ily joined in 1971, we've been federally licensed since 1971. We have fine facilities in this town. There are thousands of people directly and directly employed in biologists and blood banks industries in this city and we are proud of what we have, Now, in November of 1973, the federal regulations finally came out before that we had a meeting in American Blood and Resources Association of which we are .e member. Because we were concerned about one and perhaps two facilities in this town. About 45 days before we had an ofii.ta1 meeting saying. what c:ra we do? We were afraid to coma forth because we though if we go to the pros or },,' t„ the city council thorc is going to be an over reaction. We should of come forth because there was a problem that hit all the papers around that time. So there ctia; a lot of excitment, But the federal laws had just come into affect. 'There was still some loop holes in the federal laws. Those have mostly been corrected, Vile fedora;. 9/ APR government is tough. The look of County people are in our facility every week, twice a week, if you are opened on Saturdays. They will sneak in on Saturdays. When I say sneak in. I am not talking about they don't have the right. But they are there and if anybody on this council takes the time to come to a facility and go through what we go through. I think you will not have one doubt that we ate properly regulated. If the restaurants in this city had to go through the same license thing, the same inspection, they would be 80% closed. I don't think you are going to find drunks whatsoever in a downtown area which you have high incidents the fact that is a social problem involved. That there is groups of people and justifiably so. They don't like what they see. So they feel that all of a sudden we have to take action against a whole group, a whole industry which provide services. It's not fair and it's not right. There is no problem. I been on the same committed with the Reverend. I admire him. I understand what his feelings are and I am sure there is a solution. Mr. Plummer pointed out. I understand the Commissioner has taken a lot of time with Mayor Ferre. But in a sense you are casually dismissing or making medical 'decisions about a whole Mayor Ferre: Casually, we've been on thie thing for two years. I personally, have stood in front of that Blood Bank in front of the Junior College and counted the number of drunks coming out of there and if those people weren't drunk then I'll tell you I'm not sitting down at this --- Mr. Leno Morris: Sir, I'm aware of what happened at this meeting last year, but I am saying that every meeting that we've had that I hear about has always been people bas- ically opponents of this. The City Manager, the people from the college, Rev. McKinney the Health Planning Council, which is involved with all kinds of things and also every- body is affected . Since this is a political situation which it's like voting against mother nature. If you like blood banks. I am supposed to be a monster we are involved with blood banks, "we are not, we are proud of it. When the Commission Meeting started out "everybody said these filty blood banks, the heck with them". Senator King came over and looked around and said, "Oh, My God", I guess they are not so bad after all. I am telling you I am proud of what we have. We are a find facility. We provide a find service. The 4th STreet STation is out now because the federal regulations are becoming so tough that now these operations are basically marginal. We areaspecialized facility that makes special products. I don't think we would survive as just a bulk station. The facilities are now in business are basically all good ones. The social problem you maid have one facility downtown left and that's not in the local downtown area anymore. It's a little bit further away. But you people are really talking about during something which (forgive me ) if I say you are being casually about it, but like Rev. Gibson. You have so many things to take care of. There are a million problems. I look at your agenda, but if one of you would take the real time to come over and not look at one blood bank that happen to be downtown where it's socially undesirable, but really check us. Find out what's going on. The Health Department,"I don't agree with them about a million things." They in---- ttith forms that are unbelievable. We now have three people during forms for everyone taking care of donors compared to before. They check us backward and forward. The F.D.A. computerized us. Every unit of plasma and if they so to California and pull out a unit of the refrigerator from the final product and say where did this come from and trace it back to the donor and all the paper work aren't there, we' are dead. They close you down for overblced.. We are regulated that if the hospitals and nursing homes had the same regulations. The cost would be something like 10 times what they are now. Our address is 1334 N.W. 36th Street. Right across from Central Bank. We've been there since 1970. We been federally licensed since 1971. Mrs. Gordon: I want to know where you were located downtown? Father Gibson: Let me say this? You know, if you are all right. If you are clean, you have nothing to fear. We are worried about those who are not clean. Mr. Leno Morris: Yes sir, Rev. Gibson. May I say what your ordinance does sir. What you are really saying is: Reverend, before you can open up your church every morning. You have to use your key with your left hand. You have to go down the streets of the guy that's the cafeteria and ask them for a cup of coffee to bring over ---- It's not like you are saying "hey, let's protect a donor." If you test the donor's properly we don't bleed unhealthy people. Not only, it's not even a question of trying to get away with something. If the manufacturer receives a unit of plasma that doesn't have the prcper standards, that hasn't been tested properly and does,;'t have they propel protein. Then we are in trouble all the way down the line. We've had some bad people in this industry, unfortunately. You have had bad people , I'm afraid in every industry. Because there used to be no regulations, but I am telling you gentlemen that as of now the regulations are unbelievable, I will show page after page. Mayor Ferre: I'll tell you. T don't know whatelse we can conclude at this time. Rev. Mc Kinney and Dr. Stokes who live in that area and who I talk to all the time for the last two years on this don't agree. I don'tagree. t'au.l Andrews, 1 run asking you to make double sure that we are doing the right thing and as T understc►n': it. WE are leaving it that we will now. Mr. Lloyd restructure this thins; so ►hol it speaks strictly to the plasma banks and you will put it up for a reading at the very firs'p thing at the very next meeting. Mr. Plummer: Let me ask one question, Mr. Andrews are as Commissioner, or •is members of the Commission entitled to go and inspect these facilities? Do we have a free hand to go into these facilities and look at them? Mr. Andrews: I don't know. Mr. Lloyd: Not just --- No. Unless you get permission from the owners to come in - or the operators and the inspectors 1 Mayor Ferre: Oh! They'll invite you. Mr. Leno Morris: May we extend the invitation formally now please? May I ask one other thing that has been lacking? Mayor Ferre may I say something? When this incident first started the first day I went down to the }Health Department to offer our services. I went to the Health Planning Council and Dr. Saslow invited me and the president of council first asked me to be a consultant and then made me a non -voting member. I am a little bit out -spoken. Maybe, not clearly so, but out -spoken. All of a sudden I seem to be saying things that everybody didn't want to hear and all of a sudden I found my name wasn't on the agenda anymore. Then there would be a sub -committee and Dr. Saslow appointed me as a member and then I would receive no notices. What I am saying is that all the time you have a meeting to say what is going on in Miami. But do not include the people that are actually the source of what you say is the problem. So I am asking officially, that when these things happen. Please at least let one of us out of the group be appointed. Mayor Ferre: I am telling you that right now that if I have anyghing to do with it. It's happen on May 8th and I am telling you right now that if I have anything to do with it I am voting for that ordinance. And I am going to do it on the basis of two years of observation and I am going to he very specific. My experience has been in that operation and I don't want to name it. But I will specific where it is right there next to the Junior College. I have talked to and run into and observed literally hundreds of people that are panhandling or cussing or going around with z bottle in their hip pocket and as far as I am concerned is one of the worst possible problems that the downtown area has'. Now, if I am being rash then so he it. It's two years of rashing but at this point I've had it. And as far as I am concerned. I am voting for this. Mr. Leno Morris: Mayor. Ferre, I was sufficely asking you that when you have a study commissioner or anything involved at, you'would at least appoint one member from the Mayor Ferre: We are not having anymore study Commissions. We have studied this thi►; to death. How many meetings did you have Mr. Lloyd? Mr. Lloyd: I've lost count of them. 1 know we had a number of severalof them. Mayor Ferre: How many meetings have you attended Rev. McKinney on this time? Well, I think you know ---- you've been to seven here and four there and I'll toll you as far as I am concerned I'm just voting for it on May 8th. Mr. Leno Morris: Mayor I have never known a one plasma station been invited to any meeting of the city. Not once. And sir, if you are going to do that then we might as well close down the bars and not let people walk through downtown that can be pan- handle. Take away all the economic sources involved. 1 understand your point. But it's not the right thing sir. It's not fair. Rev. Mc Kinney: ( Not clear) Mr. t_' ro Morris: Rev. Mc Kinney I have given you his name and his number. But tin point i>c I've gone and talked to him for you. We'vc had lots u: meetings on this. Rut what I al:: saying though. First of all, that facility has been closed. 1 doubt if it':: going to be reopened. There is one facilitiy left anywhere closer in the downtown area. But we are talking about a social problem that this council is saying. We have a social problem so let's start by wiping out part of an industry in this area. That it's not just .affecting Miami. So you understand something - if you think that this hap hazard the Mayor of Miami, Dade County has considered the toughest area in the U.S. for plasma ,gyp R ` 1975 \psoriasis. The laws here are prohibited and famous throughout the U.S. Mayor Ferre: I don't know whether yot.'ve had this: experience. I personally stopped some of these people and asked them where they are from and most of those people that I've run across. I am talking about middle aged men, Caucasian, White or whatever you want to call it. Must of these people are not from Florida and they come down here during the Winter Season and they live off these plasma banks. Mr. Leno Morris: Sir, you are talking about one downtown area . Our people are middle class people. Half of our people are solid working people. We have some- thing like 92% repeat donors. Year after year, after year. Mayor Ferre: You tell me how to solve the problem. We are not closing it down. All we are trying to do is to put in a stringent enough requirement that we are• guaranteed that these drunks and panhandlers that are living off of this. At . least that they have to get a medical certificate and that they have to pay certain fees. Mr. Leno Morris: Sir, because of the ---- we've had to employ a full time physician to do just that. If nothing else of this council ---- to do something say lets get rid of this social problem and not the blood banks. Maybe we can work o'it an invest- igation. Mayor Ferre: We'll see you here on May 8th, Sir and it will be the first thing on the agenda. Ok? Mr. Leno Morris: Thank you. Mr. Plummer: I'd like the two of you to stay for just a few moments to discuss this other problem. Mayor Ferre: All right now Father Gibson, before we get off of plasma banks had a resolution he wanted to pass. Father Gibson: Mr. Mayor, my second concern was that after we had passed this resolutiot I would hope that the administra:ion will proceed today to set up the machinery whereby - we can go to the boss of Dade County Health Department. I don't mean you know. I am talking about who can either do it in the bucket or get off! Whatever that means. That'.< right! You see, Mr. Manor what you all are not hearing is let's assume that the Health Department here have every intention of bringing us relief. They are governed by rules that cover the state. We want to take our specific concern and problem to the state. Mayor Ferre: His name is Reuben Askew. Father Gibson: All right, less let Mr. Andrews, I hope that you will find the money. See - so Rose won't be able to tell me she doesn't have any money in the back. The Mayor can't say that! Plummer can't say that, because you get something everyday and Roboso and I won't be able to join with Rose and say we don't have no money. I don't care where you find the money. I think that you ought to get enough money and get a ticket for each one of us. Make an appointment with the Governor and go directly to the Governor within 10 days. That's the resolution I want to pass and you know I am not concerned about parliamentary procedure nor all that other structural jazz. I am concerned about getting to the Governor and telling the Governor what we are not getting from the Health Department down here and this is our problem. That's why those men are here. That's my resolution. I hope somebody will second it so we can make sure and get it done. Mayor Ferre: I might point out that the Governor is: going to be here on May 3rd and perhaps the hest way to do it is ask for an appointment with the Governor. Father Gibson: All I want us to do is to get to the Governor, whether you see him or see him up there. Mr. Mayor, as a part of that motion that the Health Department people be notified and also be invited to hear what we have to say. We don't want to talk about them behind their hacks. Because they are the people we are going to be talking about. This is open shop! Mayor Ferre: All right. APR 221975 The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Gibson, who moved its adoption: MOTION NO. 75-379 A MOTION OF INTENT TO REQUEST A MEETING BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR AND THE CITY COMMISSION TO DISCUSS PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE OPERATION OF BLOOD PLASMA BANKS IN THE CITY OF MIAMI, AND TO INVITE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS TO ATTEND SAID MEETING. Upon being seconded by Commissioner Reboso, the motion was passed and adopted by the following vote: AYES: Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner Rose Gordon Commissioner (Rev.) Theodore Gibson Vice Mayor J.L.Plummer Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. Mr. Plummer: The situation downtown Mr. Andrews is bad. It is getting worst. We seem to have put down the cringe areas and the crime problems in the downtown and I think that the Police Department is to be complimented for during a fine job. But the alcoholism problem in the downtown which extends from that is panhandling of the obnoxious people. Because of these new laws Mr. Andrews it's jut getting completely out of hand. The Policemen's have been tired. I think that you need to come back to this Commission on May 8th and tell us what's wrong. Why it's not working and what you can do to correct this situation to get these people off of the street. Now, I've read the law. The state law. The Meyers Act and it clearly states that Live Oaks will pick these people put up off of the street. In a town this size I can understand that it doesn't work. But I can also understand the last time I heard we called for Live Oaks. They were in Carol City and to enfore the policemen on the street that it would be three to three and one half hours before they got there which means the guy would be sober. Now, all I am saying to you is if I know anything about law. The way T read the law there is nothing to prevent our City Police Department of taking these alcoholics to a holding facility and from that point Live Oaks transporting them out to their facility. But at least, it gets them off of the street. It takes care of the panhandling, the obnoxious. The obscen- ity and things of this nature. If either one of you want to address yourselves to it please do? If you don't ---- do you think it's a problem? Do you think it's a real problem? Come up here if you will please. See under the new law the only way you can put a drunk in jail if that he creates a disturbance. Dr. Abraham Bolker: You have to be willing to complain that he is a nuisance and he is on your property. And all of us have difficulty. Dr. STokes and the rest of us. Because they pass out. That's where the difficultu comes. We try every way we can to get them going. We tell them they will sooner or later pick you up. Mr. Plummer: In the last three months, Mr. Mayor I have seen the downtown area like New York City. They are sleeping in alley ways, they are sleeping on the streets and simply because in the past where we picked them up and removed them. We can't do it anymore. So I am hoping the Manager will address this on May 8th with his corrective procedures. APR 2 ' 197E • ?3, PROPOSED MINI -PARK �1,11, 2 AV.=.NUE MD E3 STREET LEASE AGREEMEt4T PROPOSAL Gloria Kingsley: I am the third Vice President of the Women Council of Realtors of which is the branch of the National Association of Realtors. I am also a member of the Civic Action Committee of that group of which the Honorable Rose Gordon is the Chairman. In November, our immediate past President, Lucille Stadler spoke in front of this group about our civic action committee project. Which is to create a Mini -Park in an area of Miami. After considerable research we selected the area of N.W. 6th Street and 2nd Avenue. Mr. William Sawyer, the owner of that property has agreed to lease that location to the city for the Women's Council to create a Mini. -Park at that location. What we intend to do is to obtain contributions from the community to create a beauty spot in that area.and the City of Miami we hope will agree to maintain that area for us. We would like your approval of that project. Thank you. Mrs. Gordon: .Mr. Lloyd, I am a member of the council and a member of the committee Mrs. Kingsley pointed out. Must I obtain from discussion and voting on this matter? Mr. Lloyd: No, you have no financial interest in this. As a matter of fact you must vote. Mrs. Gordon: Ok, fine. I just wanted the records to reflect my question to you. Ok. Mrs. Kingsley said everything that I think that has to be said. What will happen is that a very ugly piece of property that is sadly neglected in the heart of the central area which we referred to sometimes as "Overtown", will become a little beauty spot on Oasis and the desert. Mayor Ferre: Rose, how long will they lease us the property? Mrs. Gordon: Well, let me go into what they are going to do. They are going to clear it, fix it up, put the improvements on it as a specific project and then the city . Mr. Lloyd can answer that question better. than I can, because he's been working with them on a potential lease. Mr. Lloyd: The lease is already, Mr. Andrews has one comment on one particular prov- ision. I think you should hear from him. We have the resolution here. We have the lease here and I think you should here his one comment. Mrs. Gordon: Ali right. Mr. Andrews: The only area of concern is the fact that the lease as iF graphed now before me which you may be aware of would require one adjustment in my opinion and recommendation of the Commission and that is you not be relieved of any special assessment or assessment of any kind. The taxes I can understand are both County and City. They amount to about 800 dollars a year. But if there are any speical assessments which improve the property. I think they should be borne by the property owner. Mrs. Gordon: What do you mean Mr. Andrews?' Mr. Lloyd: That would be like highway work or sewer work. Mrs. Gordon: Well, I don't think that Mr. Sawyer expects to be exempt from anything of that nature. I think he feels that ---- I am speaking for what I think he feels. I don't think any discussion along those lines has been brought up. Did you bring that up with him? Mr. Lloyd: No. This was in the proposal for the lease, which I accepted but it's in the Manager's distression. We can just take It out by inter -delineation that's all. I would leave it as all taxable. Mr. Plummer: Is it proper that I should have a ropy of what we are voting can. 1 haven't seen it. Mrs. Gordon: I. haven't seen the lease either, because that being a legal document, Mr. Plummer: I really don't even know what we are talking about it. If you wa+.It the honest truth. Mrs. Gordon: On the corner of 6 & 9th N.W. there is a little fenced in area belongs to--- We did, We took this up before, This is the final form which is the agreement between the owner and the city to allow the city to come in after it's fixed up and 102 APR 197a control it. Take care of it, but the people who use it ate elderly people who are using it anyway as a park. Mr. Sawyer is letting their. But they are sitting on boxes and they ate sitting on abandon cars. They are playing cards or dominos or whatever they do on an old broken down card table and I would like to tell you this because it's significent. Mayor Ferre: Rose, in the interest cf time, let's just pass it. I think everybody is for it. We all agree. We've talkad about this project before. Matter of fact the last time you brought a drawing. If you remember the drawing. Mr. Lloyd: 0n the resolution on the line 13 , I think it is. Where it says and also all of the taxes and assessments shown on the County taxes. Just strike that line. Mayor Ferre: 0n the resolution 13 and it starts reading and also all of the taxes and assements. Mr. Lloyd: Strike that and two lines down "they our leived or assessed.

Theodore Gibson Vice Mayor J. L. Plummer, Jr. Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. Mayor Ferre: I want to thank you for all your diligent work. I think this is great. I hope we had more people that would come forward . Mrs. Gloria Kingsley: We've taken one step. Thank you. 24, CHANGE ZONING CLASSIFICATION PHASE It COCONUT GROVE DELETING CERTAIN PROPERTIEq ETC, Mr. Jones: I am representing one of the Planning staffs from Housing & Urban Development. My own interest in this particular item is that we have some town houses that we have been laboring on for the past few years with the City Planning Department. I am here to ask a request of the Commission, a resolution directing the City Administration to approve when submitted. The HUD Plan for these two projects in that area. The working drawing of this project is s:abst:antiatcly completed. We have here the developers with us this evening. We would like very much for you to direct to the administration to approve our plans under the full zoning. Mayor Ferre: Do you understand that Mr. Andrews? Mr. Andrews: NO. Mr. Jones: Yes. Two HUD Projects that have been in the planning stage for about 2 years now. They are both located on Franklin Avenue and it's my understanding that both these projects are scheduled for public hearing on the May 5th, Zoning Board as a conditional use approval. The problem very simply is that if the Commission takes action today which we recommend you do on the second hearing that within 30 days the zoning changes become permanent. So we need a recommendation, I think from the City ATTorney as to how this can be handled since they are ready, little HUD is now ready to proceed with the implementation of these two projects. Mr. Lloyd? I said there are two HUD projects that I spoke to Mr. Anderson about this.- If you can get Mr. And- erson in here he understands it. Mr. Anderson: I am speaking to the problem that is posed by a roll back of zoning from our 2 to R-1 and as I just told the Commission the .little HUD is about ready to submit two projects. Both of them located on Franklin Avenue. They require conditioning approval by the Zoning Board on the May 5th agenda. In other words they are planned unit type of projects in the density, T believe lie somewhere between R-2 and R-1. Both these projects have been under planning for about the last two years. that:':; how long they been in planning. Sri it's a matter of what action can the, Commission tak. at this point. You know, to allow these two projects to proceed, even though we roll the zoning back from R-2 to R- 1 , becomes effective in 30 days, whatever. Mr. Jones: If they get their plan in within 30 days, this change of zoning won't go into effect for 30 days, so if they submit their plan within 30 days---- Mr. Anderson: I understand. What I am saving is they are up for conditional appi val on the May 5th Zoning Board Agenda. Mr. Jones: Zoning will still be the same on May 5th, if it won't go into ---- zoning will not go into effect. Mr. Anderson: That's not a building permit. The point is that a condition needs approval of their plan. VOICES OF OPINION ON THE MATTER ---- UNIDENTIFIED. First Speaker: See they have to get a conditional use before they go for ra building permit. Second Speaker: But, today is the 22nd of April. So you'd have until the 22nd of May to get your permit in after the conditional use is approved, hopefully on May 5th. Mr. Anderson: They've got a little problem over here called schematics. Mr. .]ones: I would like the architect to address hi•n:.e1f to that problem. 1 don't know whether they'll be ready by then or not. Mr. Plummer: What is the address of this location? Mr. Jones: It's on Franklin Avenue. It's two lots. One of them is located on Franklin Avenue and Royal Road and the other one is just a little --- Mr. Plummer: This is next to the church parking lot? Mr. Jones: Right; Mr, Plummer: Ok. 104 AFR .'tea Mr. Plummer: This is for HUD? Mr. Jones: Yes. Mr. Plummer: Well, what's the problem? Mr. Ferencik: You are going to change the zoning right now. 30 days after it's going to become law. Mr. Jones: No, not necessarily. Mr. Ferencik: Well., unless you do something about it. Mr. Jones: That's right. Mr. Ferencik: Ok. Mr. Plummer: So what's the problem? Mr. Ferencik: When are your working drawing going to be finished? Mr. Jones: The architect that's here now when his working drawing will be completed. I don't know whether we will be able to meet the deadlines, that's the Mr. Lloyd: Well, I can ask the problem right now. We can one or two things. We can either defer. Read this second reading until the subsequent meeting to give you a little additional time or we can create a new date (60 days) instead of (30 days) from now. Mr. Plummer: We can create any effective date we want. Mr. Lloyd: That's right, or an effective date whatever you want too. Mr. Plummer: So what's the problem? Mr. Lloyd: Well, I ---- just tell us when to change the effective date. We will pass the ordinance with that effective date . What you decide? Mr. Plummer: Let HUD tell me. Mr. Al Townsal: I am the executive director of the Model City Development Corporation. We will be the developers of this site. It was a site that was placed out for bid by _ HUD and we we were awarded this project on a number of bases. We cannot possibly meet a 60 day or 30 day schedule before you roll by the zoning. This project as you have bee' told. We have submitted to the City of Miami a plats and streets committee and we will meet with them on May 5th. HUD has to bring in and make site improvements on the aerial The plans have to be submitted into FHA. We are talking about a period more of 90 days or 3 months at least before we could be in a position to meet your requirements. It would be impossible for us to pull a building permit: in 30 or 60 days. Because of the process that we have to go through. Because of the review by the City, by the County, and by FHA. Mr. Plummer: Fine, so you can do it in 90 days? Mr. Ferencik: Sir, if you would just not do anything. Any building permit that comes in this part of the city has to come up here for review anyway before we issue it. Mr. Plummer: I move to defer item 20. Mayor Ferre: There is a motion is there a second? Mike Calhoun: The owner of the Hot Shopper property - an agreement with Mr, Acton, He asked me to come down here because Mayor Ferre: Come to the mike and give your name and address for the record. we've already worked out Mike Calhoun: I am representing the owner of the Hot Shopper Restaurant property. We are in a complete agreement with Mr. Acton recommendation which I may briefly, brief three points to drop the buffer zone on the South by 10 feet and on the East ----the sidelines 5 feet and rezone certain parcels of it. All C-4 which makes a lot of sense for the city and for everyone concerned, Mayor Ferre: Is that acceptable to everybody on the Commission? 10' r'r$ ►;./ 3 Mike Calhoun: I just want to make sure that, that got into the record. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Acton, Mr. Acton, this is yout recommendation? Mr. Acton: Yes that's correct. Mayor Ferre: Is anybody present object to that you do? Mr. Schumey: Well, I'd like to know who could possibly Mayor Ferre: Who wants to speak to this? Do you want to speak to this item? Mr. Fred Schumey: I am in agreement with Mr. Acton too that we achieved a mutual agreeable situation as far as zoning goes and I would just like to go on the record that as long as what we are talking about is approved by them or by you all. I am happy too. Mayor Ferre: Is that agreeable Mr. Acton? Mr. Acton: Yes. We met with Captain Palmer and Mike Calhoun on these two points. Mayor Ferre: That's on the record. Mr. Acton: That's right. Phase II. But I would recommend that the Commission take some action on Phase II even if it means(you know) on 90 days effective. Mr. Plummer: That's another way of doing it. Mr. Acton: All right. That's an option as deleting those two parcels for a specified period of time. Mayor Ferre: All right. On this item that Mr. Calhoun brought out. Is that what you are going to be heard on? Mr. John Mc Nutt: I am an attorney with the officers in the DuPont Building. I rel''es' N.R. Field and Janet Knockfield his wife. who are the owners of five lots on the side of Franklin. Immediately, adjacent to one of the HUD Projects that Mr. Acton was just pointing out and just across the street from the other one. Mr. and Mrs. Field has owned this land for about 35 to 40 years with R-2 zoning before that time it was R-4 zoning. They strongly objected to the roll back in the zoning, because it puts them in this position and it might put the Commission in this position also. We estimate becaus. of the type of construction and he h,is(8) eight - four unit apartments there with 32 families in it. We estimate their useful life of those buildings is going to be another 20 to 25 years. At that point, if he is restricted to R-1 zoning. What are 32 families looking for housing going to do with 4 residences? Now, this is HUD property that he has. He is collecting the rent from HUD and the tenants in there are paying based on their financial ability. It maybe 30 to 50 dollars a month. So - you are accomplishin one thing by this nnd that's when you put out a new zoning map you put R-1 instead of R-2, but as a practical thing. As Mr. Plummer pointed out on the first reading,"We're grandfathered in". So it's not going to change the situation. But in 25 years, where are these families going to find places to live at that kind of rent? If the owners are limited to a single family buildings at that time. Now, as far as I know and 1 know Mr. Lloyd can correct me on this. You all can roll back the zoning anytime you want too And here you are asking to roll back something that ---it's not even going to have a practical effect for 25 years probably. And I don't think that's really planning in my opinion that's good planning. It can be done anything. If it causes a problem from health to wealth or morals of the community or there's a problem in that area, that's one thing, but to my knowledge there is no such problem. Mayor Ferre: All right sir. Anybody else wants to make a statement? Mr. led Schumey: 1 live at 3610 Bayview Rd., Coconut Grove. 1 am an architect. I am the president of Coconut Crove Civic_ Club. The Civic Club agrees in general with Plannine Board recommendations regarding these zoning changes. 1 do want to mention onto thing though. I made a drawing here which 1 think is a compositive. These two drawings, the Planning Department is putting before you. Right now, the building that was a Hot Shop is located roughly here. These are the two pieces of property t,t,at. are part of that ownership. They are now zoned C-1 and R-2. The original plan was recominer tad to roll those hack to R-2. We are in favor of that. We see no reason to expand the C-4 zoning and liberalize it much more than it now is now here. We are concerned that it that's done. The practical effect will be that the property below here will be bought up. The residences torn down and parking willput there. That represents an 1 0%) encouraging into a residential neighborhood of commercial parking and that simply is contrary to what the plan is. Now, let me point out one other problem. We are talking on the other c property of changing the C-1 to C-4 in this portion right here. That I think makes sense, because there's C-4 right across the street from it. If we then increase all this to C-4. It seems to me there's perfect logic for all the people that come here asking the same thing. Again more parking below. I just don't think it sounds planning. I would therefore urge you to follow the planning Department original recommendation to make both of these R-2 and if you can't do that. At least a attach a condition down here that you will not in the future entertain any concitional use parking for these lots. Mayor Ferre: Now, that I would be willing---- I tell you George now, I think this last statement that he made which is to attach a statement that we will not consider that this Commission will rezone that or rezone it the new way that's being recommend- ed in the C-4, that we put a rider into it that , that land that's now R-2 will never used as a parking area. Mrs. Gordon: I am sorry to bring up another point, but this is a very valid one. Abutting five lines conditional use comes into being and you can build an apartment house on that piece--- further South. Mr. Plummer: No--- not in a C-4. Mrs. Gordon: Below it. But I have a suggestion that if the C-4 if you wish to make that area C-4. Have a buffer of R-2 for even 10 feet. You will then prevent that from ever taken place. You follow me Mike? Mike Calhoun: That's what they got here. Mr. Jones: This is what we agreed to. Mrs. Gordon: Yes, but that's not what Mr. Calhoun: To correct the point, the property is across the street from Cullington which is zoned heavier, so I mean it doesn't really jive the way your map shows there. Mrs. Gordon: Your property line is larger than your C-4 proposal is that it? Mr. Calhoun: No ma'am. This property in order to be used effectively for the benefit of this city should carry one zoning. They are going to drop it back 10 feet to zoning line which would give it better set back by even an R-2. Mayor Ferre: Mike, you didn't hear her question. The answer to her question is "yes". Mrs. Gordon: Instead of no, it's yes. Your property line extends further than the C-4. Mr. Calhoun: Right, Mrs. Gordon: Well, that's all right. Mr. : Well, in fact Mr. Calhoun's plans, I believe on these lots right now right now. UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Part of them, on the west side. That doesn't mean anything. We are going to have encouragement further into a residential district and if you do it here. Why can't these people ask for C-4 over here? UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: In answer to that question Mr. Mayor. The owner of this property bought those lots some years back. He knows they are zoned R-2. They will stay R-2 as far as he's concerned. The point is it's better off having this property with a set back under C-4 than it is to be R-2 where you could build a building closer to the line, If Mr. Schumey had been at our meetings with Mr. Acton and see the maps the way they line up I think that he would agree. 1 think this is a very good solution. Mayor Ferre: The motion is - this is the second motion, the second reading of the same thing we passed last time and it approves it, except for the two properties next to St. Hue which solves there problem and in the 6 month period, We'll' come back and solve Mr, Reboso: This includes ---- 10 Mayor Ferre: That includes this solution---- etc, - AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 6871, THE COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR THE CITY OF MIAMI, BY CHANGING THE ZONING CLASS- IFICATION OF AREA BOUNDED GENERALLY BY FRONT- AGE ON DOUGLAS ROAD FROM DAY AVENUE TO THOMAS AVENUE; ON GRAND AVENUE FROM PLAZA STREET TO BROOKER STREET; ON THOMAS AVENUE FROM MC DONALD TO DOUGLAS; AND AN AREA BOUNDED GENERALLY BY PROPERTY FRONTING ON FRANKLIN, ROYAL ROAD, LOQUAT AVENUE AND DEVON ROAD (PHASE II) FROM R-2 (TWO FAMILY) , R-4 (MEDIUM DENSITY MULTIPLE), C-1 (LOCAL COMMERCIAL), C-2 (COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL) AND C-4 (GENERAL COMMERCIAL) TO R-1 (ONE FAMILY), R-2 (TWO FAMILY), R-3 (LOW DENSITY MULTIPLE), AND THE PROPOSED C-2A (SPECIAL COMMUNITY COMMERCIAL) AS SHOWN ON EXHIBITS A AND B ATTACHED HERETO AND MADE A PART HEREOF; AND BY MAKING THE NECESSARY CHANGES IN THE ZONING DISTRICT MAP, MADE A PART OF THE SAID ORDINANCE NO. 6871, BY REFERENCE ANI) DESCRIPTION IN ARTICLE III, SECTION 2 THEREOF; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES, CODE SECTIONS, OR PARTS THEREOF IN CONFLICT ; AND CONTAINING A SEVERABILITY PROVISION.

Now, what's this additional half a million for? Mr. Andrews: Well, there is going to be more than a half a million dollars worth of additional equipment. Mr. Plummer: Well, what's it's for? Mr. Andrews: We will explain it. I am trying to give it to you in general. This is all peripheral equipment, the consoles and everything that goes up to make up the whole system, a portion of it. Mr. Plummer: Now, is this the last purchase? Mr. Lester Pancoast: No :this is not necessarily the last purchase. Mr. Plummer: The last large purchase? Mr. Lester Pancoast: Not necessarily. Depending upon your approval of course, it may or may not be the last purchase. This is the purchase of the necessary computer equipment and accessories to carry us through the implementation programs that we have in mind through July 1976, so that we can be operational in something we call Phase I,Phase II, and Phase III. Mr. Plumper: Ok? But what basically are you buying that we didn't buy through "E" systems? Mr.Andreww: May I assist for a moment? This is not purchase of any more computer equipment, Ho you do not misunderstand. Mr. Plummer: Well, since you don't misunderstand. It says for acquisition of computer hardware and soft -ware. Mr. Andrews: Yes. But it's not computers in the sense that we awarded an $800,000.00 contract for two(2) computers, this is all the peripheral equipment to make those two (2) computers functional. So with that Mr. Bergstrom will explain the kinds of or pieces of equipment and he has the complete listings. Mr. Plummer: I will tell you what, I will approve it now.

Upon being seconded by Commissioner Reboso, the resolution was passed and adopted by the following vote: AYES: Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner Rose Gordon Commissioner (Rev.) Theodore Gibson Vice Mayor J. L. Plummer, Jr. Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. Mr. Lloyd: City Attorney read Resolution 75-384 which will be adopted later on in .the discussion. I want to compliment Mr. Pancoast and the Police Depart- ment and particularly Keith Bergstrom for all the work he has done and preparing the information that was supplied to the Commission in reference to these five items that was well done. We received excellent bids on this garage which Mr. Pancoast will tell you about. Mr. Lester Pancoast: We received bids on the garage itself and the rather extensive side work, if you remember that surrounds the Police Headquarters. The building itself came in at $11.25 a square foot which is about 341 square feet per car which means very efficient structure and $3,843 dollars per car which is about - in between the range of very fancy and very simple garages. This garage does have a number of securities aspects to it and it Is complex in as much as it rise above the circulation that goes around the part and makes the Police Headquarters work. Mayor Ferre: Lester, I wonder --- you know, the more I look at Mr. Wolfson's new parking garage down there and with all the hanging vegetable gardens, what- ever the stuff -- baggers or fern, or what have you. I hope you do a little bit of. that. I think it's a very effectiver--As I understand it's a way of decorating some of these buildings. Do you have any provisions for that? Mr. Lester Pancoast: No, I'd rather not rather not make a comment on that, because I think no matter what I say is going to somehow sound sarcastic. Mayor Ferre: I am asking you whether or not you made provisions for landscaping in the garage itself, like he has all these asparagus ferns hanging down. Mr. Lester Pancoast: We did not resort to asparagus ferns, in fact we are very anxious here not to set up the usual kind of landscaping that demands a lot of maintenance all the way through. We are leaning mostly on large trees, because we think they have the greatest impact. ��kk Mayor Ferre: I would like to respectfullyalCiat you look into the possibilites of having ROMP of these hanging things. I don't think it's that expensive. The asparagus ferns aren't that expensive, as I understand they don't require any maintenance at all. Mr. Lester Pancoast: Wall, the Coral Gables Police Headquarters has set up some very elaborate and very expensive ways of hanging ferns out of it's parking garage. Mayor Ferrc•: I am not talking about expensive ferns, just asparagus and ferns. Mr. Lester Pancoast: Oh no: The ferns themselves are not expensive, it's the people who have to go up there and water them all the time that turn out to be, Mayor Ferre; I am serious about the asparagus and ferns, APR 2 2197__ Mr. Lester Pancoast: It's a marvelously landscape parking garage. Mayor Ferret It doesn't take any maintenance or anything, it's a nice green thing hanging. Would you look into it please? Mr. Lester Pancoast: Yes sir. I will. The following resolution was introduced by Commissioner Plummet, who moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 75-384 A RESOLUTION AWARDING THE BID OF ADH, INCORPORATED FOR PARKING GARAGE & SITE WORK AT MIAMI MODERN POLICE HEADQUARTERS IN THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF $2,052,200; AND FOR THE REALLOCATION OF FUNDS PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED. (Here follows body of resolution, omitted here and on file in the Office of the City Clerk.) Upon being seconded by Commissioner Plummer, the resolution was passed and adopted by the following vote: AYES: Commissioner Manolo Reboso Commissioner Rose Gordon Commissioner (Rev.) Theodore Gibson Vice Mayor J. L. Plummer, Jr. Mayor Maurice A. Ferre NOES: None. Mr. Plummer: I move to deny. Mr. Andrews: Don't you want an explanation? Mr. Plummer: I have read it, I don't need an explanation. I don't think I need atti'ackenhut C orporation for my Police Department. Mr. Andrews: It's not creating a Wackenhut Corporation. Mr. Keith Bergstrom: The security system that is proposed for the Police Department has two primary objectives and that's to assure public convenience in using the building and secondly, to provide the safeguard qualities for critical areas and activities within the building. It's basically built around two kinds of systems. An overall signaling or warning system if there is something happening that's unusual in the environment and secondly, an assess control system based on a card key; that is a card that you insert in a card reader to gain agEess into the building or with- in a particular part of the building. There is no provision in this security system or any kind of hiring - a guard system , a human guard system is a mechanical or electrical system that warns us about what happens in the environment and reports so that the people in the building can then respond to whatever the situation maybe. Mayor Ferre: The question is whether or not we need to spend that kind of ---- Mr. Plummer: Well, of course, there is one, at least one, but in our particular set up three people that would have to be hired to at all times,monitor the cameras and the security system, without question. Mr. Keith Bergstrom: We have some plans that we are looking into in terms of monitor - ing this system because it's going to be located in the communication center of the building that these duties could be rotated among when we have the classification which i4 now being developed so that complaint operators, dispatchers, can rotate among various positions including the security control counsel and that way they would get some variation from their duties. It is extremely difficult to maintain your attention dispatching 8 hours a day. In this sense, the figure would not be as severe and would not be three puople a shift. Mr, Plummer: Mr. Mayor, 1 had the opportunity of seeing one of these systems in operation in Huntington Beach, The man there expressed to me at the time that it was a lot of problems. The only way that they were able to overcome the problem was through cardets or public aids, Well, it's a person. Mr. Mayor, 1 don't know of any building and 1 know this is going to sound vicious, but it's really not. _APR 221975 Where else do we find a building, except the Police Building th.ct have 760 ;oli,:eten in :and out of it all day?? Now I concur to keep the public where the public belongs if I can use that terminology, Key card system Ls used in private clubs and such. I think it's well in order, 1 do. But I don't think it cost $3000000.00 plus $4,000.00 annual maintenance. I think we come down Mr. Mayor to good faith. I know I have harped on this before but it's a matter of priorities. That security system is not going to fight crime in the City of Miami and I am not going to go into that aspect. But I am going to go in this. system. We promised Huntington Beach and if proven without question Now, not only have they it in the bond issue it I think if we can find $300,000.00 for a security the voters a helicopter. I got the availability in we've got $300,000.00 to use, Huntington beach has the tremendous work that is being done by helicopters. proven that, but whether they came right out and said was there that three helicopters would be provided. (They Nought them out there for a lot less because they took advantage of a federal grant.) Now, all I am saying is, I don't think that this that necessary. I do think it's a matter of priority and in my priority which I have to vote on I think that helicopters are a lot more important than this security system. I think if the security system at a later time proves to be a problem that we can alter our thinking. Mayor Ferre: Well, let's ask our Chief. Chief, what's your opinion? Chief Watkins: I believe if we are going to have the type of system that's demonstrated here to go later it's going to cost ( I am not an expert in it by the way), I am strictly a layman. But I have been told that we cannot have the type of system that we are describing here, because of the electrical work and the work that would have to be done during the construction phase. Mayor Pcrre: Do you recommend that we go ahead with this? Chief Watkins: Yes I do, because if we don't go into it. I am afraid that we will need a system of security and some points of it would appear to be somewhat elaborate. But I think the potential from what happening as far as security of information. What happens with a lot of things that I think most Police Departments are just beginning to experience. I. think this could be much more costly than some of the thousand of dollars that would be the difference between some what would be considered flash and the basics which I think is going to cost us much more if we had to go into it further dawn the road. Mr. Plumper: Chief if you have the set of priorities of this, or the helicopters or tite situation as it exists in town, which would you take? Chief Watkins: It's hard to compare the two but- I have some information based on a research on helicopters that I think we are going to find helicopters are an awful expensive item. Mr. Plummer: We know what the expense was. We were told out there what the expense was and it's a matter of the way you do it. Do you think the value of the helicopter is there as a tool to fight crime? Chief Watkins: It is a tool to fight crime, but I would put it high on the priority that the City of Miami needs. If we have one that's available to us, that's the use and the projective use last year was approximately 15 times which you use the DPS helicopter. 1 don't think --- Mr. Plummer: Ok, let's use the whole story. The whole story that isn't it a lot of times the reason that our department does not call on the County of the helicopter and many times they are hesitant to call on them is because of the fact,it takes over nn hour to get them. Chief Watkins: If they don't have them in the air, yes. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, they told us in Huntington Beach,they are operating 4 helicopters in Huntington Beach. A town the size of 165,000 people, they get 55 hours of helicopter time a day. They have gone back to using one man automobiles. Now, I know you cannot compare one town against the other, but there cost only is running approximately 11'J APR 221975 $30,000.00 a month. Rev. Gibson: J.L. let me ask. I am not for or against, only that I am a jacklcg,, builder. [f you are going to put in this system that they are talk- ing about. I went to warn all of us it's cheaper to put it in now, then to put it in later. Even if you are talking in terms of dollars and cents. While that wall is down, Mayor Ferro: I agree, but the question is, is it needed? It is whether you want it or whether it's cheaper now or cheaper five (5) years from now. Nobody argues that it is going to cost you tremendously more in building it five(5) years from now. Mr. Plummer: I would concur with that, that it would cost a lot more at a later date, but I don't think it's necessary. Mayor Ferre: The point is, how badly do we need a security system in the Minmi Police Department. Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor, let me say this. When I first saw it, I said"God you need a security system to secure the security", this really is how I responded. But 1 tell you, I am going to have to defer to the system over against helicopters. I have problems in understanding why a helicopter is going to work miracles in solving crime . Mr. Andrews: May I assist the Commission with additional information which and as Commissioner,Vice Mayor Plummer points out. Maybe you haven't had time to read the report that we sent to you, but there is 3.8 million dollars that is left to he programed for priority uses in the modernizing the department. One of them is the vehicle located. Further examination of computers. All those matters would have to brought to this Commission for a decision to be made and I would recommend that we put this security system in that if helicopters is something that is that important to give the Police Department a little more time to review it and come back. Mayor Ferre: Paul, you feel strongly about this? Mr. Andrews: Yes 1 do. I will tell you why. I haven't had a chance to communicate with Commissioner Plummer, but I was a little skeptical about what we were told as to the cost of the computers and I was really very frankly, a little skeptical as to what we were told about the helicopters. In that I have little knowledge of flying and what people are making in the Air Force and privately flying helicopters. But the important thing is that we have got someone here who did a rather thorough analysis of the Huntington Beach Computerization System just to find out what that system costs and it cost much, much more than what we were told. Mr. Plummer: I am sure. I still think that this is something that is not needed. Lt. Ken Harrison: President of the Fraternal Order of Police. I would like to address this because I think it is important in'the fact that some of the situations that exist that are building now. The parking situation, we have vandalism cars there now. This is something that's a priority as far as the Police Officers are concerned as to what security measures are going to be taken to assure that their cars won't be continued to be vandalized. You will recognize this particular area where the building is being built is not one of the best in the city at this point and time and the potential there is obviously greater than in our existing area and we just feel that it is an important thing and I am not aware of what the bids are, but I am familiar with the security system. There will some monitors in the garage and also for the employees coming from the garage to the building. Mr. Plummer: 1. make a motion to deny. Mayor Ferre: Them is a motion to deny. Is there a second? There is a motion to deny Item "46E", is there a second? Hearing none, the motion die for lack of a second. i;rure is a motion for approval by Commissioner Reboso, Is there a second. Father Gibson seconds . Is there further discussion? Call the roll. 11`it API 9° 1975 The following resolution was introduced by Commissioner Reboso who moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 75-385 A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE BID RECEIVED FROM WACKENHUT CORPORATION FOR FURNISHING A PRO- TECTION SYSTEM FOR THE MIAMI POLICE DEPART- MENT AT A PRICE OF $275,704.00, PLUS $22,000. 00, TO COVER THE COST OF TRAINING COURSES, TECHNICAL MANUALS AND FIRST YEAR'S REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT PRICE OF $297,704.00; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH WACKENHUT CORPORATION FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROTECTION SYSTEM; AUTHOR- IZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO INSTRUCT THE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT TO ISSUE PURCHASE ORDERS FOR THIS EQUIPMENT; ALLOCATING FUNDS FOR THIS PURPOSE FROM THE POLICE HEADQUARTERS AND CRIME PREVENTION FACILITIES BONDS; FURTHER ALLOC- ATING $15,000.00 FOR CITY FORCES, TO COVER EXTRA COSTS FOR DEVLEOPMENT, INSTALLATION AND CHECK OUT OF THE PROTECTIVE SYSTEM.

There was an article in the Miami Herald. L think it was on a Saturday and it stated: (Mr. Ferencik is here, he can speak to it), that there is an apartment which evidently has some structural faults in the parking and you have given notice to the owner. The owner did not report it, evidently since there has been a transfer of the property and there is some confusion on that. They did not tell the renters of the problem Now, there is a question of property viction and the whole ramification as to whether or not by .law they are entitled to know. Ok? Mr. lien Kaplan: I live at 5050 N.W. 7th Street, Apt. 312 in the City of Miami. On April 18th, all of the tenants received a letter from Mr. Ferencik, Director of the Building Department, informing us that as of May 1st, we were to evict the building and that the power would be cut off from the building. So that we should evict by May 1st of 75. We received this notice on April 18th, which gives us exactly 12 days to move from the building and find other lodging. Mayor Ferre: Now, the point is that by law. By law according to the we follow the County regulations. We are supposed to give notice of our pending action to the owner of the property which was done legally. Now as I understand Mr. Nerenelk took it upon himself to notify the apartment dwellers. Not because he had to , but because he wanted - he was concerned that they would not know and therefore the City of Miami did something that it normally doesn't do and that is to tell the apartment users of what was going on. But that's not the point and that's not the problem. Mr. Ferencik: Wcll,my sug--- without going through all of the ramifications. Only one thing I will say to you Mr. Mayor. The problems are not only in the parking garage. There are problems in the basic structure which must be corrected as well. Some of these are like the safety and structure are where the occupancy of the first three floors are not involved in this safety ---- . My suggestion to Mr. Kaplan, I never saw him before, but we have talked on the phone on several occasions, that If he is going to represent this group of tenants, that they make available to us, ;s list of the tenants. We have no way of finding out who the tenants are. Mr. Ben Kaplan: I. have this available right here. Mayor Ferre: Would you give it to him? Mr. Ben Kaplan: Yes I would. Mr. Ferencik: We will find out what amounts of money these tenants have paid in advance or what and maybe we will stagger this closing date, so as not to work a hardship on the particular tenants. We will work some arrangement out. Mayor Ferre: All right. Do you understand what our problem is? The problem is that by law the building is not fit for habitation according to our department. So you have to move out of it. The question is, how do we do this to hurt you the least? Mr. Ben Kaplan: Exactly, and I have the information here which Mr. Ferencik re- quested of the advanced rent money that was paid and the security deposits, which have been given to the owners of the building. Now it seems that we can't get a refund from the owners of the building, because of impending bankruptcy. Mayor Ferre: Wall, I think the way to do this is for Mr. Ferencik to work with you and give you some staggering terms so that you will at least take up the amount of time as you p::id the rent. If you show him and show hire proof that you paid rent for a certain number of days. Is that agreeable with you Mr. Ferencik? That's the• best that we can do. Mr. Ferencik: Yes sir. Mr. ten Kaplan: Ok, that's fine with us. There is one other APR 221975 Mayor Ferro: Excuse me. I am going to in a moment offer a motion or resolution or somebody can offer it here. So that we can avoid this type of problem in the future. Mr. Plummer: It's very simple. Just instruct the policy of this.Commission the Building Department that no future C.O.'s will be given on a temporary basis that everything has to --- Mayor Ferre: Can't do that J.L. Mr. Plummer: Why? Mr. Ferencik: The County once even passed a law about this and changed the Building Code. The Code change didn't last one, two week period. You know, I would love to see this happen. This would be the greatest thing that could happen to a building. Mr. Plummer: Who says we can't do it? Mr. Fcrencik: Sir, you take the #1 Biscayne Boulevard Building, or the First Federal Building, or the building -- the Mayor owns, the Ferre Building. These buildings you issue C.O.'s on these impartial by floors. They are never all rentable. --- Mr. Reboso: Because of one problem we are not going to change the law. Mayor Ferre: Walt, now I will tell you what the solution is and this is what I was going to offer. In the future, anytime that you give a notice of eviction for a reason Like you stated to the owner. I think it would be incumbent upon the City of Miami to put notices under the doors of each individual apartment at the name time. That way they can't say that they didn't know or the owner didn't .tell them or what have you. Mr. Ben Kaplan: 1 think that's an excellent solution. Mayor Ferro: That's the only way we can solve this problem. We apologize that it, has happened. Mr. Ben Kaplan: That's right. I think the tenants of the building should be notified the same time that the owner has been notified. Mayor Ferro: I agree. Mr. Ben Kaplan: Now, there is one other point that I would bring out. That is the fact of;that we do have to move out of the outlet say by June 15th, or June 30th when our rent money runs out. Now, this is an inconvenience because of telephone transfer charges, because of Florida Power and Light transfer charges and just be- cause some people aren't ready to move. For example, I am not ready to move because I made that my home. I moved in there at the end of August. I go to school within the area and now that I have to go and look around for another building. It just brings a lot of inconvenience moving, telephone charges, Florida Power and Light Electric surcharge when they transfer your accounts. I wondered if you could do anything about that as well. Mayor Ferre: I don't know what anybody else's opinion, but I doubt it very much. You see, this building is not in compliance and as I understand that we are actually playing with the health of the individuals that are in that building. So I think that what we can do is lean over as much as we can and help. And if you pay to a certain point as of today that - maybe we will help you by staggering the time you have to leave, but beyond that. I don't see -- Mr. Den Kaplan: There is no arrangements that we could come to with the Southern Bell Telephone Comp;mny and Florida Power & Light? Mayor Ferro: I think we have not a legal --but perhaps you have a moral responsibility to help these people as much as possible. Mr. Ben Kaplan: Unemployment in the United States today is at 9.2% . Many people are out of work. They have to dip into their savings and this just -- Mayor Ferro: Florida is over 107— APR 2 2 197 Mr. Ben Kaplan: That's right, and in Dade County it's even more. So people have to dip into their savings, something that they weren't expecting. That they have to now pay out mote money to the Telephone Company just to re -connect their telephone in another place. Mayor Ferre: It's tragic and it's sad, but -- Mr, Ben Kaplan: Can't the City do anything about it? Mayor Ferre: Our system of government doesn't -- isn't built that way. It's you know, you are a private citizen. You are dealing with a private individual and you are buying an apartment from that individual and if he goes into bankruptcy this government doesn't have any responsibility. Mr. Ben Kaplan: I think there is something else here that should be brought to the attention and that is when the temporary certificate of occupancy was issued. I. think that the Building Department should have known about the financing of the building, apartment building. Mnyar Ferre: See- but it isn't our responsibility to get into finances. Our res- ponsibility is; is the building safe for human habitation? Not whether or not the mortgage is being paid, or whether or not the guy who owns it is financially stable or he is going into bankruptcy. We don't have that kind of - I don't know of any government in the United States that has that kind of -- Mr. Ben Kaplan: Well the situation is now is that when somebody comes to rent an apartment, he must give a security deposit and he must give an advance month's rent. That puts him in the power of the landlord. Now, if the landlord play shenanigan, it is the poor tenants who have to suffer. As in this case except for the mercy of the City. Mayor Ferre: You have courts you can address your politician to and if you don't „et beck your tenants deposits of something like that. I would imagine the State taws would regulate all that. It's a matter of going to court. Isn't that right? Mr. lien Kaplan: Well, I think that there was a fraud perpetrated here. Mayor Ferre: Small Claims Court , isn't that what it's called? Mr. Ben Kaplan: I think that there was a fraud perpetrated here by the owners of the building, Because when I spoke to Mr. Ferencik and I think he will bear me out. He said that he sent this notice to the owners of the building on March 29th. Mayor Ferre: Mr. Kaplan that's what small Claims Courts are for. You see,you are here before the wrong body. The body that you got to go to is the court. Mr. Ben Kaplan: I think this is a criminal matter. Mayor Ferre: Well then, you go to the courts. We don't handle criminal matters in this jurisdiction. See, you go to a court and you say - go to the Claim Court and you make your plea there , or you can go to the State Attorney's Office, if it's a criminal matter. If there is criminal ne gl ige.n ceand that's what they have a staff of people to do. They have people that take care of complaints just as what you are telling. Mr. Ben Kaplan: Well, in order to prevent this in the future. I think that we have had in Florida, I believe a few months ago in the paper about people who had paid money for their condominiums and then there was no condominiums and I think we are basically in the same position. Having paid rent when there is no apartments here. Mayor Ferre: That's State law, not City Ordinance. Mr. Ben Kaplan: So somehow I think that when the Building Department issues a Certificate of Occupancy, that they should also investigate the finances of the buildin•, or somebody should investigate the finances of the building. Because the other position here where tenants comes in, he has to put the money down. When you get a phone you also have to put down a deposit. Right? It's the man who rents the apartment who gets the phone. Who always has to put down the deposit. APR 2 2 1975 Mayor Ferri,: t any sorry I have been rushing you, but I hate to he short with you, but unfortunately, Mr. Kaplan we have to go on to other matters. If you want I will schedule you for the next Commission Meeting, if you want to come and be heard? Mr, Ben Kaplan: Ok. Well, I appreciate the time that you have given us and I just task one more thing that Mr. Ferencik issue a notice or letter to all the tena►tts of the building saying that they can stay there until their money runs out. Mayor Jerre: Would you speak to Mr. Ferencik ? Mr. lien Kaplan: 1 certainly will. Thank you for your time. 27, SODIUM VAPOR LIGHTS - KENNEDY PARK Mayor Ferre: I have a memorandum here signed by Mr. William Jakobi, Vice President of Tigertail Association which reads; We oppose the installation of Sodium Vapor Lighting or any other form of high intensity anti -crime lighting in the park on the following grounds: (1). Lighting for the deter- ence of crime is not needed in this park. The park does not constitute a police problem. According to the Department of Records, the City of Miami Police, there had been no recorded instances of police invention needed, either for crime or for accident in the year 74-75. Frequent public obser- vation on the part of several of our members substantiate this. The use of the park by the public, is consistently quiet. It involves primarily indiv- iduals, couples, or small groups, and even on Sunday attendence in the park le high. In view of the tranquility history and installation of anti -crime lights in thin park would be a glaring example of municipal over -kill. (2). Anti -crime lighting generates a feeling of technology of over youth urbanization of of destruction of natural values and riominance of our way of life tor our products of industry.( Then he keeps on on the same thing). This natural atmosphere is fragile and vulnerable. It will easily he destroyed by the harsh hard atmosphere of generated by anti - crime lights. (3). High intensity of lighting will merely encourage use of tie park far into the night hours. A time when the park is supposed to be closed. We therefore, respectfully request that the Commission directly use the intensity of lights of Kennedy Park. We will recommend however, that there he no additional lighting in the park in additon to that already present. However, despite the above consideration a decision is reached that additional lighting must be considered. We request the study and designing in -put to be obtained from the City Planning Department. In addition to the cost and structural consideration that would likely be obtained from the Public Works Department. There are a host of other factors such as compatibility with community use. Maximum of preservation of natural values that must enter into the decision. The Planning Department has in the past demonstrated admirably, the abilit. to reconcile social and natural advisiing the municipal means. We feel that this in -put and this decision would be essential. That's in the record. Ok? Mr. Andrews you have a memorandum which we've all read. Is there any questions of the memorandum? Mr. Plummer: What does it say? Mr. Andrews: it says in essence that we move ahead with the area lighting and that where we need additional lighting to provide highlight lighting and landscape features in that. That, that be accomplished with another form of lighting, but that we need some kind of aeriallighting the entire park and that's what was planned. Mayor Ferre: All right. What's the will of this Commission? Mr. Plummer: hollow the recommendation of the Manager. Mayor Ferri•: All right, there !s a motion.. Further discussion. CAll the roll. j.) AP , 75 The following motion was introduced by Commissioner Plummer, who moved its adoption: MOTION NO. 75-386 A MOTION APPROVING THE CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMEND- ATION WITH RESPECT TO SODIUM VAPOR LIGHTING AT KENNEDY PARK.

That's Tigertnil Association, but that's just one group, but the majority of the Pacific Association and the people that I have seen here are for light- ing in that park.

I don't like Et on my corner. You should get it out of there. I am supposed to be in an experimental area. I don't think it's great. I certainly don't. Mayor Ferre: What kind of lighting is this?

A :,elected Fe•rrendi.no, ------ ------ as the primary ones to deal with. They converted a up at Opa Locka. Mayor Terre: Does anybody have any objections to this? Mrs. Cordon: Yes. I have objections not to the firms, but to the project. Mayor Ferre: Well, I will tell you what, this is going to be a heated thing and I don't have the time. So would you schedule it ----- Mr. Andrews: We will put it on the agenda for the next meeting. Mrs. Gordon: 1 think we should have a public hearing on it before we go to the expense of getting consultants. Mayor Fevre: Allright, for a public hearing on it. Mr. Andrews: There is on matter relating to interama that you wanted to discuss Mr. Mayor. Mayor Ferre: 1 want you,please Mr. Andrews to make a note there that you please let the following people know besides the Tigertail Association and all of the civic clubs in Coconut Grove, Mr. Alva Chapman of the Miami Herald, Mr. Dan Paul, Mr. Bill Colson, Downtown Development Authority, the Chamber of Commerce, if you will get those and please notice theta that we are going to have a public hearing on this item.

New, Mr. Mayor M r . Andrews: Now, Mr. layer you w:ziite:ci to discuss Interama. Mayor Fern:: Ladies and Gentlemen: We have .a subject of continuing concern to all of 11s called interama. Let ;m. tell you where we stand. Interama is right ,ro012it's way to being wiped out as an authority. Maybe because the bill may not hive been introduced in time by the April 17th deadline ind therefore it might be a committee bill that Se actor Graham is going to prooably put in and Representative Clark. Listen , listen , hecause this is important now. All r'tnt. Interama, Interana, now, the problem is, the problem with the bill is that there is a recommended lease that has been drafted by Stu Simon and the Metropolitan Dade County Law Department, which in effect leases the interama property to Dade County for a font; period of time (30 years) . That ladies and gentlemen may play problems on our property. Our property is in- cluded in this and I am sure we may want and have something to say about that. Now I don't think that we want our property included # 1 and #2 they say that they will assume the liability but let me tell you something.That the liability that the City of Miami. has on that property and that and nothing is about the same and it will take us 25 years tc) ever get our money back. It's a lousy deal. f am sorry it ways made and f rrinkly I think that. this Commission ought to go on record that if the lcgiz.la; Ire :.tarts tampering with this and if the County is ---- I think we etughc to tell the interama Authori tv, should that it exist beyond this next week or two weer e from now. And the legislature and the Governor and Mctropoliten Dade County th;ht that's cur property and we intend to fight i.or it. And that iI they want us off, they can do one or two things. They can either pay Ub d'` million dollars or they can leave us alone. (Mr. Plummer- or they can ecet lie le ,::e.:rt) . r.ei1 i_:o.':' e:aow the .
