(b) 2, AVER WALKWAY AND PARK SYSTEM PRESENTATION.}Y DOWNTOWN DEV.AUTHORITY Mr. Lucius Williams, Director of the Downtown Development Authority appeared to outline plans for the first phase of the Miami River Walkway. Mr. Williams: I hope this will be the final meeting before construction and and at the conclusion of the discussion, we will ask you to join with us in advertising for bids for this job and it is our expectation that we can begin construction by the first of the year. The development authority has completed these plans for stage I of the walkway. The authority has obtained all required permits from the state, county and federal agencies for the necessary bulkhead work along the north bank of the Miami River in Stage I. In accordance with the directive from the City Commission, we have provided the City Attorney's office with easements from the Feinberg interests and the YWCA, on which the walkway will be constructed. OCT 191973 • One of the easements was re -drafted in accordance with the directions of this Commission and in accordance with discussions previously held here. At this moment, I will outline the plans we are about to undertake. You see here the 1st phase of the walkway which goes from the DuPont Plaza on the right (Inaudible remarks follow) It will continue then past the riverfront past the YWCA and into a park which is adjacent to this. The park will be on these 2 lots right here. The City Managers office may have the status of the park acquisition program now. The YWCA will be available in December and the construction .on the new Holiday Inn is scheduled for the first of the year. The activities that will be included in the walkway as can be indicated by the plans is a pedestrian sidewalk area , landscaped areas an overlook over the riverfront. A shelter or waiting area in event of rain. Good lighting and climb out stations in event someone falls into thetriver. Emergency telephone service. There were some policy matters which we have discussed and con— cluded with the city manager and his memorandum to you dated today seems to have resolved all of those issues. To my knowledge, there are no remaining issues nor any differences of opinion between the City Manager and myself as to how we proceed and as to the elements of this plan. There may be details in our construction documents which we need to correct and coordinate and put into absolute final form but I forsee no problem therein altogether. The Board of the Authority has authorized advertising of bids for this job. We have the funds available together with the bond funds from the City which really in fact are the repayment of a loan which the auth- ority made to you last year. We are prepared to go out for bids on this job at this time but in view of the fact that we are expecting to use some of the bond funds, it may be necessary for you to be a party to the contract and a party to the advertisement of the bids for the contract and this is why we are to get these matters straight today. The policy matters discussed with the manager and which we have resolved include the possibility of using the city light structures and asking the city to provide the electricity to service this walkway just as the city does on the existing public streets and sidewalks in downtown. the provision of the city emergency telephone system on a city expense -' just as on public streets. Once this project is completed, the downtown development authority will turn it over to the City of Miami and that the City of Miami maintain this walkway as a part of its park system. The one remaining matter evolved in the discussion of the Du Pont Plaza for the easement. In my reference to the easement, I indicated we have turned over 2 easements to the City Attorney's office. They are for the Feinberg property and the YWCA. We have a letter of commitment from the State Road department for that area underneath the bridge. Their letter will be transformed into a proper agreement at a subsequent date. The easement along the side of the DuPont Plaza and in discussion with them, they have asked for something in return. They have asked that we at least indicate our intention and our goodwill to cooperate with them in placing a restaurant along this walkway at the time that they grant to us this easement. It has been discussed with the city planning department and they concur as I concur that to have a boat restaurant immediately adjacent to this walkway. It would be at the existing DuPont Plaza board- walk in back of their facility but it would be immediately adjacent to the walkway. It would accomodate the pedestrians who will be using this walkway. I think it is an added attraction which we should be happy to have in order to service this. It can be an exciting activity. , I have seen and used a water -boat water oriented restaurant in other cities and I am surprieed Miami hasn't had this kind of restaurant facility and it is exciting to find that the first one will be in connection with our walkway but the DuPont Plaza has asked that we indicate our agreement with this principle prior to their executing the easement granting this right of way for the construction of the walkway facility. It will be a private restaurant and on private property. The reason it becomes a question is that our ordinance doesn't specifically make a direct reference to this and its an administrative and zoning question that we want at least a declaration of intent. Mr. Plummer: Is there anything in the contract with Miamarina and the restaurants that exist that is in conflict with this? Mr. Andrews: None whatsoever. 2 OCT 191973 Mr. Williams: The water at this location is not presently zoned and t believe it creates a question,not really a problem. Unless you hate further questions, you have a memo from the manager. After brief further discussion, the City Attorney was directed to prepare necessary legal documents. See Resolution No. •73-864 and 73-865 later in these minutes. 3, ACCEPT COMPLETED WORK - EAST PINEMOUNT SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENT The following resolution was introduced by Mr. Plummer who moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 73-807 A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION OF INTERCOUNTY CONSTRUCTION CORP., FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF EAST PINEMOUNT SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENT SR-5352-C (CENTERLINE SEWER) IN EAST PINEMOUNT SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT SR-5352-C (CENTERLINE SEWER); AND AUTHORIZING A FINAL PAYMENT OF $94,440.04 (Here follows body of resolution, omitted here and on file in the City Clerks Office) Upon being seconded by Reverend Gibson, the resolution was passed and adopted by the following vote - AYES: Messrs.

Plummer, Reboso, Mrs. Gordon, Reverend Gibson and Mayor Kennedy. NOES: None 3 Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, I sent all of you including the City Attorney yesterday, a memorandum as your representative to the Dade League of Cities. It has been the policy established that we have gone against the repeal of the utility tax as proposed on the November 6th ballot. Mr. Ray goode furnished to all of us the reasons outlined and the need to go in opposition to this repeal. If this is repealed, that 10% which Metropolitan Dade County now receives will have to be derived from another source and that source could be county -wide where the equity of the utility tax is now in the unincorporated area. I would like to propose a motion 2 phase. #1 that we join with every other city in the Dade League in opposition to the repeal of the utility tax. #2, that in the flyer which will be sent out by this Commission and delivered by the sanitarians as done in the past, outlining the facts and figures of the charter amendments as proposed by this Commission, that we on the reverse side or included on this flyer, that the facts and figures presented by Mr. Goode or those we can use be also included on that flyer. This could be a sleeper that could affect us all in the City of Miami and all of the other cities. The City Attorney was then directed to prepare such a resolution for consideration later in the meeting. CONFIRM ORDERING RESOLUT I OIL ADV SEALED BIDS-LK, 29 SL F_I WAY �sl Mr. Vince Grimm explained that he had met again with the objectors to this project and as of this time 55 persons were now against the project, 59 non -reported and 19 for the project and that the objectors felt this was a luxury they could not afford. He said the City would pay 8 times that amount the property would have paid. Mr. Plummer: In the agenda today, I will have to tell you that I feel it is very unfair the people who live in this district and I am going to address it to this one point. In the memorandum it states that the use of N. W. 29th Street has rapidly increased in serving abutting residential industrial commercial areas. Heavy traffic volume has created a pavement condition less than desirable. Now Mr. Grimm, I have always operated under the old theory that if I wanted something, I pay for it but if somebody else is using it they would ,.share in it. I think we all know 29th street to be a street not used by any stretch of the imaginiation as a residential street. I think it would be wrong to ask these people to provide or even to participate in what I will refer to as a main arterial street which is used more by other people, commercial and private, than they themselves are using. I think this clearly should come under the umbrella that this is a main arterial, we cannot deny it. That it is used by other than them and more than them and I think this is a project that the City should undertake 100% as it pertains to the street and to the road. I also feel that if they are going to have sidewalks and they are going to have other improvements, yes, that that they should pay for. That is an improvement to them and to them alone but as far as that street is concerned, you are going to an 80' street within itsslf is an indication that it is not the normal neighborhood street for which we ask residents to pay for. Those are my thoughts on the matter. I don't know what the thoughts of the other Commissioners are. I just think its unfair for these people or the residents that abut this street to pay for something that is used by other than them or more times by other than them. That is my thought and how my vote will be cast. If there is no comment, I will make a motion that this be sent back to the Public Works Department for a reconfiguration to make it more of an equitable situation to the people involved. To make this thing fair. How do you want that in the form of a motion? 4 OCT 191973 Mr. Grimm: Mr. Mayor, if you are going to support Mr. Plummer's recommendation, I would recommend that you vote to deny this district entirely and let 'is get on with something else and we can cancel out the contracts and move forward in someother area. Mr. Plummer: You know Mr. Grimm, that is well and good but you are the very one that stood here at the last Commission meeting and told me how vital this thing was. Now you are telling me its not that vital. Mr. Grimm: Yes Sir, but you are telling me to do something that is contrary to the charter. Mr. Plummer: If I am out of order Sir, let someone correct me. Mr. Andrews: The charter requirement provides for assessment of highway districts and its up to the City Commission after the district is put in place to determine the extent of the benefits. If you find that the, after the project is completed and at those public hearings when the assessment,is finally established, if a determination is made by the City Commission that there is far greater total city-wide public benefit flowing from this than there is individual benefit to the property owner, you cart come up with your own formula as to the amount of the assessment that the individual property could sustain as a result of this project. Mr. Plummer: Tell me how to do it. I own a business on Flagler Street. I abut Flagler Street and any improvments to Fiagler Street, I feel is part of my burden because I through my people, enjoy the use of those benefits but Paul, to take 29th street which is to me one of the major thoroughfares like 36th street, not as heavy but if you stand on that street as I have and you will see that the greatest number of vehicles down there are commercial vehicles. I think its unfair to make these people provide for those commercial vehicles. Mr. Andrews: My suggestion is that you not adopt a resolution at this time which would jeopardize the whole assessment procedure but there is nothing to prevent the Commission individually from making known their feelings into the record and then proceed on that basis with ordering the district and at the time of assessment, reflect back on that which was put into the record when coming to a conclusion as to the amount of the assessment. Mr. Grimm: Mr. Andrews, they can time of confirming the assessment for assessments based on benefits Mr. Plummer: Mr. Clerk, did you Is that agreeable to you Sir? Mr. Grimm: Yes Sir. include that to instruct me at the roll to come back with a recommendation and this would be a public hearing. get that wording from Mr. Grimm? Mr. Plummer: Do the people have any comments to make? Did you have any disagreements? An unidentified man appeared and objected again to and said a larger number of people would be present but had to work. Mayor Kennedy: We are about to confirm the improvements 5 • and every year we let it go, it will cost more money to correct it but I believe it is also the feeling of the members of this Commission that you all shouldn't be assessed for it because its got more of a benefit to the community than it has just for individual owners who live there and so what we can do is pass this district and its incorporated in the motion Mr. Plummer made that when the time of assessment comes up, then we will determine how much benefit it is to the overall city and so there- fore the assessment would not be at the full value which you think it is going to be. We will work with you. We understand the problem but we also have a problem under the city charter and we just can't say that we aren't going to assess you anything because its in the charter that we have to but the percentage we have to charge you, we can determine and after the work is done. We have to do these jobs now. Mr. Andrews: I want to assure this lady that the Commission will be holding a public hearing to evaluate these assessments and they will be invited to come back and participate in this discussion and that it won't be done arbitrarily on the part of the Commission, that they will take into consideration the individual property owners feelings and you will get an opportunity to express yourself before the Commission when Mr. Grimm and I present the formula for assessing. You will have an opportunity to comment on that before the Commission acts upon it. Mr. Grimm: We will meet with them prior to coming back. Mr. Plummer: Not only to meet with them since there has been a commun- ication problem with these people. I think the recommendations Mr. Andrews that the recommendation you make with Mr. Grimm should be sent to these people so they can analyze it before they come down here so they can make their thoughts known. Mr. Grimm: We will do that. This is probably 2 years from now before this would happen Mr. Plummer: I offer that in the form of a motion. Mr. Andrews: I suggest you not put that in the motion. Its in the record. Make it a part of the proceedings of confirming this district those comments that you had and you won't have to have a separate resolution. Mr. Plummer: I make a motion that we approve the resolution pertaining to N. W. 29th.Street and that all comments made by Commissioners here today be incorporated for re-evaluation as to the assessment.

IMPROVEMENTS ` DISCUSSION Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, I would like to know at this time from the City Manager the posture of the City as it relates to the improvements at the Orange Bowl and the posture of the Downtown Auditorium complex. Mr. Manager, would you please bring me up to date as to where we stand and • what direction we're headed. Mr. Andrews: First on the Orange Bowl, you will recall that I reported to the Commission my meeting with the users that the City Commission had requested the Manager to meet with, to obtain from them recommendations as to their feelings with reference to improvements to the Orange Bowl. The result of that luncheon meeting I had with them was that they chose not to make any recommendation until such time as the jurisdictional question of the Orange Bowl was settled. By jurisdictional question, they meant who was going to operate the Orange Bowl. I feel now that the question has been answered and I would seek a resolution from the City Commission but it isn't needed if you will give me the authority, I would like to meet with the group in its entirety or on an individual basis to receive from them recommendations that they believe are most important in priority area as to the improvements at the Orange Bowl and other matters relating to it as far as potential financing of it. Their understanding of the use of the Ornage Bowl for the next S to 10 years or longer and then report those findings to the City Commission. It may end that after my meeting with them, it will be appropriate for those people individually or collectively to come before the Commission and discuss this matter further. Mr. Plummer: I don't want to get into any hassle with anyone on this Commission or anyone else., but is my thinking wrong that regardless of whether we own the facility or Metro owns the facility, we have not had any objections from anyone that improvements must be made. correct? Mr. Andrews: Thats right. The only question if I may interrupt you is that some people have questioned the priority of the improvements. Not the total picture but the priority and I have heard from some of the users informally. Their wishes for the kind of improvements that might be put in place first. Mr. Plummer: I don't want us to be accused of doing nothing. We have got to move ahead for the improvements whether we do them or Metropolitan Dade County does them. Whether we pay for them as proposed and outlined in the memorandum or whether someone else pays for them. What I am getting at is, I think that the improvements are definitely a necessity for the betterment of that Orange 3ow1. I will be supplying to the members of this Commission an in-depth research I have had done on the New Orleans Stidium which is going to just open your eyes tremendously as to the costs involved in stadiums today. Paul, what do you want to proceed in an orde•ly manner so that we cannot be accused of standing still and doing nothing? Mr. Andrews: For the Commission to reaffirm its position that the City Manager contact and have meetings with users, individually or collectively to obtain from them their recommendations as to what they feel as the type of improvements to be provided at the Orange Bowl. We will then take them into consideration, come back to the City commission and outline a program based on that. Mr. Plummer: This in no way would preclude that if it was later transferred, that this information could not be forwarded to whoever it was transferred to, is that correct? In reference to the Orange Bowl, I will offer such a motion, that the proceedings go along so that we cap. get something into the works and get the improvements which I think are sorely needed to be done, I'll offer such a motion. Mr. Lloyd: Again, will you direct the City Attorney to prepare such a motion in writing. I am sorry. I didn't make the rules, I just have to tell them to you. Mr. Plummer: Do I have to do it by motion or just direct you to do it? Mr. Lloyd: You may direct us to do it. Mr. Plummer: Fine, I direct that you do it. 13 19. CONVENTION FAC I LJTY- DISCUSSION Mr. Plummer: Now the Downtown Auditorium, Mr. Andrews: The City Commission will recall that the last major activity in reference to the auditorium was at a time when Mr. Feinberg presented his proposal to the City and that was evaluated and that matter concluded with the City Commission adopting a resolution reaffirming its previous position that the convention facility should go into the government center. The only matter that is really holding up any progress that might be made in reference to the auditorium at this time is a firm statement from the County and the City jointly as it affects the site plan to determine the exact location of the auditorium. Once the exact location is known within that government center, and a tentative site has been selected, once this has been established and more is known about the funding of the site development because the auditorium will require on -site development in addition to the cost of the building of the structure, we will then be able to move ahead. The County as you may remember, we met with the County Commission to discuss the site as it was presented by Connell and Associates and at that time, a plan was formulated in which Mr. Goode was to notify individuals who were appointed to a committee to review the method of financing the governmental site of which the convention center would be a part of. I understand that is moving ahead and that there will be a meeting shortly and after those meetings are held, I will be able to inform the Commission more fully as to what the prospects will be for the Convention Center. Mr. Plummer: Do you want anything like a resolution of intent or direction to get this thing moving? Mr. Andrews: I think it would be helpful to express the concern you have. Time is passing and we are not acting on this as rapidly as we can. I would like to find out if there are some intermediate steps the city can take in order to advance the Convention Center even though we are still making some of these decisions as far as site is concerned. Mr. Plummer: You want a resolution to that effect? Mr. Andrews: It would be appropriate. Mr. Plummer: I can direct the City Attorney to draw same for this afternoon. Mrs. Gordon: Before you leave this subject, I would like to express an opinion if I might and the size of that convention center is as I under- stand it, a 4000 seat auditorium, am I incorrect? Mr. Andrews: I am not positive of that any longer. There was discussion of one up to 6 or 7000 which would seem more appropriate and the only reason for discussing it at the 4000 capacity was our current limitation of funds. That is an area I would like to advise the Commission on. While we may proceed on a 4000 seat facility, that may not ideally be the type of facility that should be put in downtown Miami. Mrs. Gordon: I think in the same resolution of intent, that we ought to incorporate the desire for at least twice that much because of the need in downtown to have some place that can accomodate a sizable group of people. Mr. Plummer: Mrs. Gordon, we have to think of the practicality. #1 we have X-number of dollar's to work with. #2, I remember Mr. L. Price standing before this Commission and stating that 90% of the conventions which could be drawn to Miami have shown a 4000 or less need of seats. That in no way should the City of Miami endeavor to compete with the Beach Auditorium. I would rather discuss it this afternoon when we bring the motion. Mrs. Gordon: Amdments to prepared resolutions. How are they handled? Do they go back for amendment? Mr. Lloyd: If you make additions or amendments to the resolutions as presented, all the law says is that the resolution must be presented in writing. We are taking the position now that changes may be made orally in the resolution with the Clerk directed to get them down, as long as they are originally presented in writing. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Andrews, your investigation, the status of the Convention Center and all the information that is coming back. I would like you to recommend perhaps some additional funding areas that we can turn to for the enlargement of this facility. I do not believe 4000 is enough, simply limiting it by the bond issue monies. I think we can get funds from some other source so that is my thought. 20. PARK FACILITIES AT DINNER KEY - DISCUSSION Mr. Plummer: Mr. Andrews, what is the posture at this time of the Dinner Key Expansion Program? Mr. Andrews: We are now beginning to show some real progress, particularly at the north end of the complex. The walkways are under construction and will be completed very shortly. The lighting is in design and will be ordered in time to be completed and hopefully the lights turned on by February 1. We are moving ahead with the construction of a rather attractive fence (rustic) accross the property. The bicycle path that the City Commission approved which would extend from Coconut Grove up to Rickenbacker Causeway will be constructed at the same time in front of the park at the same time we are installing the walkway. Mr. Plummer: I wasn't referring to just that portion as it extends to the east. I am talking about the overall expansion of the Dinner Key program. What is being done in the area of the Marina for the expansion of that? That's more what I was getting at. We had a plan presented. We have the monies allocated. Now where do we stand? Why aren't we moving ahead? Mr. Andrews: If you will permit me a little time I would hate to tell you off the top of my head. acquainted with the balance of the progress being the plan and would like a little time to evaluate Mr. Plummer: Mr. Andrews: Mr. Plummer: to answer that fully. I am not that well made on the rest of it. Are you talking about until the next Commission Meeting? Yes. All right, that's fair. 21.

WITH MAYOR KENNEDY ABSENT, THE MEETING WAS OPENED BY VICE MAYOR GIBSON, 50. PERSONAL APPEARANCE - MARTIN FINE Mr. Fine: I am appearing as a private citizen and a taxpayer and I don't want to take too much time but would like a few minutes to make some obser- vations. I would like to report this is the 4th or 5th time that I have been before the Commission in reference to the City of Miami Budget. It finally took me all these years to realize that no average taxpayer and I am among those can ever get the budget in time to study it intelligently because its never available for public distribution. The so-called public hearings as held in the past, in my opinion do not qualify legally or morally as being classified as a public hearing under section 29 and 30 of your charter, I think you violated again this year as to when it had to be presented. I am not here for technical reasons. I finally figured out that the best thing for me to do to show my interest as a taxpayer was to not argue with the budget as presented but rather talk about the budgeting procedure and some items after it has been presented so you might react on it this coming year. My recommendations I hope will be received as constructive criticism and not at any individual or department but as budgetary concepts that think make good sense and I mentioned to the Manager today, the city is indeed fortunate to have the benefit of his services and nothing I have to say in any way reflects upon Mr. Andrews or his predecessor in terms of their budgeting ability. il: At the present time on page 23 of your budget, it shows there is $21,600 budgeted for salaries for Planning Board Members. I think it is improper, inappropriate and possibly illegal to pay that. I would like to point out that the comparable county planning advisory board which with all :due respect to this board spends 4 to 5 as much time on their business as does the city because of the land involved, does not pay one nickel for either salary or expenses. 31 0C1'191973 There isn't one board in the entire county in which its members are paid a salary. I found you are creating 2 new boards as of January. You are taking seven members each and paying them a salary of $100 a month. All you have done in my opinion is pay where you don't have to pay it. That's $16,800 yearly and this is a wonderful time to say, you come here and serve as public spirited citizens. I see no reason for payment of a salary. I think it is inappropriate for many people to work for payment. Mrs. Gordon: What is the absentee rate in the county? Mr. Fine: I think if people are absent, the thing to #2 $1,464,139 is set aside for the Incinerator on N. 12th Avenue. It is in bad condition and will have to In my opinion it should be transferred to Metro. #3 Franchise for Southern Bell. It says that Southern Bell in addition to the sum they pay will pay a fee equal to 1% of the annual gross receipts of the company from rentals derived from telephones in use within the city limits. This ordinance was enacted in 1946 and expires in 3 years. It is my contention that for 27 years, Southern Bell has failed to pay the city for calls which were made on telephones originated in the City of Miami made outside the city boundaries, on long distance telephone calls. There is no question in my mind that it is improper that they did not pay that money. I don't think the city has done its homework in enforcing the ordinance. They will argue this to be in violation of the interstate commerce commission and I think that is poppycock. The city should derive this revenue and I think you should sue them for this money and when you renegotiate this franchise that you get the money this city should have. do W. be is fire them. 20th Street and rebuilt. Mrs. Gordon: I would like figures supplied to us Mr. Andrews and Mr. Rothstein on this matter. #4 Lease of Air rights: This bill was passed in 1969 and says the City has a right to lease air rights on property it owns and I am amazed that there hasn't been any effort to do this. (Photographs of 65 S. W. First Street were passed out to the Commission to be used as an example) We would get additional property on the tax rolls as a result of development and would receive rental income from the use of these air rights. Mrs. Gordon: What kind of development for air rights could take place above that building? Mr. Fine: What I am saying to you is, an office structure, a possible government structure with Metro instead of this dilapidated building' which couldn't stand a hard inspection by your own city building department, this or the other buildings around here. You might get a developer, lease it to him and then lease the space back from him. There is 100 ways to develop that building limited only by ones imagination. No imagination has been used because no one has addressed themselves to the problem.. The City budget does not set any goals. All it says is how you are going to spend the money. It is not oriented toward goals and objectives. I would like to illustrate that point. The Planning Department is spending $267,597. What do they expect to accomplish for the next year to justify that expenditure? What is the Planning Department planning? They should be put to the task of saying in order to justify this amount of money, during the coming year, we willdo the following things. When we had to do a Downtown Plan, the City hired Doxiadis. When you had to do a bayfront plan, you hired Ed. Stone. When you had to do a Dinner Key plan, you hired Tripp Russell. If we hire all these outside planners, what in the devil is the Planning Department planning to justify $267,000? It certainly wasn't the Brickell Study and it certainly isn't a fellows fence 3 or 5' away from the next door neighbor or whether floor area ratio in some of these buildings ought to be 2.8 or 2.3. I think we should say to departments, what are you planning to do to justify your existence. Why should we give you 267. You may want to give them 667 and I as a taxpayer would be in favor if they could justify it. I think the employees of the City are a dedicated group of people. I think we have the best Police Department, Fire Department. I think we have dedicated people in every department but they are not put 32 OCT I91973 • • to the task in certain departments of them saying what they are going to do with the money. There are many pictures on the planning departments walls of things that were never implemented and I think they ought to be asked that question. #5 What departments and services of the City can be transferred to Metro without in any way adversely affecting the services the city is able to give to its residents? (Medical services were used as an example) Planning Department and Law Department consolidation with Metro were suggested. He also suggested the transfer of the Department of Public Works. #6 Review of Budget: I would recommend you favorably consider working out a contract with Urban Affairs Center at the University of Miami to review the budget so they would have an opportunity to be your secretariat the budget now is made up by your own city people, given to you, fed back by city people and there is no opportunity for the public to get involved other than at some kind of mickey mouse public hearing where you can't really understand what is going on. #7 Land Acquisition: Attempt to acquire all the land in the Grove on the waterfront between the Barnacle and Ransom School. Some developer is going to buy one of those pieces for development and it will never be less expensive than it is today. 51, PERSONAL APPEARANCE - ARTHUR LEE WILLNER Mr. Arthur Willner appeared and stated he was a resident of the City residing at 1603 South River Drive. He complained of violations of the Zoning Ordinances by Houseboats moored on the Miami River and discharging raw sewage into the River where neighborhood children are swimming. He complained of a recent court case of an individual who was charged with a violation that was dismissed because of a jurisdictional question and charged that an appeal was not taken. He suggested fining the owners of riverfront property that permits boats to be moored from their property allowing sewage and oil pollution to be deposited in the river. Mrs. Gordon advised Mr. Willner that a non-profit group was now _ forming to remove derelicts from the Miami River and further suggested that the oil tankers in question were in the jurisdiction of the County. The City Attorney stated these matters were underBeady in various stages of correction and that the problems were very di•cficult and suggested that the complainant was 2 years late with his comments. 52. PERSONAL APPEARANCE - TOM NESBITT - MIAMI _BAR OWNERS ASSOCIATION Mr. Nesbitt: I represent the City of Miami Bar Owners Association. The last time I was here, the question of having uniform hours in the county came up and what 'our organization is really trying to do is have hours that go along with what the county does have at this time. At that point, a resolution was passed, 72-684 and this resolution recommended that you send a representative to the Dade County League of Cities, which you did, Mr. Plummer and the hours recommended were 7 A.M. to 3 A.M. daily and 12 A.M. on Sunday until 3 A.M. the following Monday. It was said at that time that the City Commission approved of this resolution and of these hou:s and the Dade County League of Cities did not go along with it, that I should come back here to look for relief. Well they didn't go along with it. They turned it down. I am asking the City Commission at this time to go ahead and give us the hours we are asking for, the hours which you recommended yourself. I would ask the Commission to amend the Code to go along with these hours. The Code is Section 3-8, paragraph .(a) Mayor Kennedy: Mr. Andrews, do you have a recommendation on this? 33 OCT 191973 Mr. Andrews: No. I am going to beg Mr. Nesbitt's indulgence to re -chart everything that has occurred over the last 18 months, present that to the City Commission in light of what Mr. Nesbitt is requesting and relate that to the hours the County is now permitting so that the City Commission will be in a position of having all this information so that a determination could then be made as to how you might wish to consider Mr. Nesbitt's request. I don't think the Commission is in a position to act on your request today and even if they did, it would be necessary for them to adopt a resolution which would cause the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance which could be property advertised. I think we can do this expeditiously and we can have this kind of information available even for this next Commission Meeting which is approximately a week away. With that information in hand the City Commission would be in a much better position to make this decision. Mr. Nesbitt: There is a chronological order of events. Mr. Andrews: No, the chronological order of events just tells the history of each one of the actions taken by the City Commission but I think what they need now so they can have proper information available before them is a large chart we could all look at one time which would indicate all the current hours of operation for the various bars, nightclubs, supper clubs and all those activities, relate what we now have and what Metro has so that your request for a change of hours can be more fully evaluated. Mr. Nesbitt: I have a schedule that lists the hours in most of the municipalities in Dade County. Will forward that to your office. This thing has been going on for so long and everybody has had their arguments and they have been heard over and over and over again and there really isn't too much left to say. We are just asking for a little relief so we can compete with the other municipalities in the County and would it be any problem to have an ordinance submitted Mr. Rothstein? Mr. Andrews: Do you think its more appropriate to wait until November to do this? Mayor Kennedy: What is the pleasure of the Commission? Mr. Andrews: All right Mr. Mayor, my recommendation is that it would really be better to hear this in November. It would be more appropriate. The Commission can select one of the two dates in November and we will get the information ready for then. Mr. Nesbitt: Would this be a meeting where action could be taken one way or the other? Mr. Andrews: The procedure is that the Commission must follow of necessity because of the State Statute is that they will have received the information and an ordinance can be prepared by a meeting in November. The Commission can review that and modify it any way they see fit. They can adopt it on first reading, then the public hearing would take place no sooner than 2 weeks after that. Mr. Plummer: What do you want Mr. City Attorney, November 8th? It was decided to consider the matter for possible first reading on November, allow for legal advertising after and December 13 for possible second reading and adoption. 34 OCT 191973 • • 53. PERSONAL APPEARANCE_ - D .BEI T ILIA L MENZEL RE: LICENSE FEES Dr. Bettina B. Menzel, Physhologist appeared and asked the Commission to correct an inequity in the City Code concerning the issuance and price of an occupational license as a psychologist. She stated she had been advised by the License Division that the cost would be $424.00 and, suggested the amount of the license fee was completely out of line with the fees charged by neighboring municipalities of $30 to $50 and out of line with what other professionals are required to pay for their license. A medical doctor pays $47.00 per year as an example. She indicated her thought was that the law concerning the fee was written in the early 1900s by someone who confused psychologists with charlatans. Mr. Andrews said the matter had been researched and recommended the City Commission adopt a resolution instructing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary documents to adjust the fee to $47.00 to which the Commission unanimously agreed. The City Attorney stated the provisions of Section 28-3 and 28-5 will be examined and be updated. • 54, SELECTION OF ARCHITECT - NEW POLICE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING Mr. Andrews:- I transmitted a memorandum to you covering the proposal and my negotiations with the Pancoast Firm for the services to be rendered. I will answer questions if the Commission has any in reference to this matter. Mr. Plummer: It says in here that the Police Chief will have the final say and unless I am mistaken, this pre-empts the authority and rights of this Commission. I am referring to Section 17, Page 22. It says all services shall be performed by the principals to the satisfaction of the Chief of Police who shall decide all questions,' difficulties and disputes of whatever nature which may arise under or by reason of this agreement. I personally don't feel that the Police Chief nor anyone else has that right which in my estimation is vested in the Commission and I would find that it is out. It is this Commission's right of saying and having the final say in any and all contracts. Mr. Andrews: That's right and its not precluded. I would like the City Attorney to comment on this, in lieu of rights of decision, often you will find in agreements, methods and arbitration proceedings for arbitrators and appointment of arbitrator's. It usually constitutes a great expense to the people involved in such arbitration when it does occur. Rather than go through that process, we have been including in our agreements, this form of procedure. You will notice that this puts the consultant doing the work and the Chief of Police of being the 2 adversaries in a decision making process with then appeal on the part of the principal to the City Manager. This doesn't preclude the City Commission from becoming involved at any one point or coming to a final conclusion on some of these deter- minations. M r. Rothstein: This is .like the City Manager running the adminis- tration, but the policy still would be determined by the Commission and the details of this agreement are administrative insofar as the performance of the contract, the performance of the nature of the work for the benefit of the police department and the city itself but if there ever is a matter which is a policy determination, this Commission is not precluded by this paragraph. 35 OCT 191973 • Mr. Andrews: Or a deviation from this agreement in any way would have to come back. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Rothstein, in very simple language, I am in dis- agreement with you Sir and I will read to you the language used in this contract. "Adjustment of Compensation:" To my knowledge, Sir, the only one that can adjust compensation is this Commission. Adjustment of compensation and contract time because of any major changes in the work that might become necessary or be deemed desirable as the work progresses, shall be left to the absolute discretion of the Chief of Police. I think the wording is wrong. I think the wording should be corrected. Mr. Rothstein: I agree with you. This can only be for compensation down. It can't be up. You are right. I think we ought to just take that out. On Page 22, Section 17, rights of decision. Mr. Rothstein: In order that there can not be any confusion about it being down or up, I agree, lets take it out. Mr. Plummer: Mr. Andrews, I think you are putting Mr. Pancoast untolerable situation because he has no right to object no more anyone else does as to the authority vested in this Commission. Mr. Andrews: I recognize that, but I don't want a complication after the Commission if they should approve this matter. Mr. Plummer: I think Lester knows what I am getting at. Mr. Pancoast: I do. in an than Mr. Plummer: Lester is only going to have one boss. Now he wants to be told and I think he should be told who is boss. I think it is vested in this Commission and only in this Commission. Mr. Rothstein: Insofar as the money is concerned. You aren't talking about the details of the contract? Mr. Plummer: adjustment of Mr. Rothstein: Mr. Plummer: not be at the Commission. I am talking about as compensation - That's coming out. Adjustment of contract absolute discretion of the wording is right here, time. Major changes in work shall the Chief of Police but at this After further discussion, the following resolution was introduced by Reverend Gibson who moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 73-849 A RESOLUTION ALLOCATING $300,000 FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND - UNALLOCATED FUNDS ACCOUNT TO COVER THE INTERIM PAYMENTS TO THE CONSULTANT FOR THE MIAMI MODERN POLICE FACILITY AND DIRECTING THAT SAID $300,000 BE REIMBURSED FROM THE PROCEEDS OF THE SALE OF POLICE HEADQUARTERS AND CRIME PRE- VENTION FACILITY BOND FUND WHEN SUCH BONDS ARE SOLD (Here follows body of resolution, omitted here and on file in the City Clerks Office) Upon being seconded by Mrs. Gordon, the resolution was passed 36 OCT 19 im • and adopted by the following vote - AYBS: Messrs.

PLAINTIFF Mr. Rothstein: I called to your attention sometime ago and now we have finally terminated the matter. It is the matter of Mr. Huggins, a City employee who by an accident was paralyzed during an incident when a police officer was chasing a felon and in the ensuing gun battle, he was hurt. The suit was filed against the City. The city had prior to the suit, an overall coverage which had just been cancelled by CNA and a new policy had been put in force with another company and after the suit was filed, this company denied coverage and since this was a total paralysis case, over a million dollars was involved. The insurance company denied coverage. Mr. Lloyd for about 2 years fought this battle with the Insurance Company and with the claimant and was successful in obtaining from the Circuit Court, a decision that there was coverage. An appeal was taken by the insurance attorneys. In the interim there was a settle$ent of the case for one million dollars. Mr. Lloyd and his activities have prevailed and the insurance company is now willing to waive their appeal as part of our strategy, we filed for attorneys fees in Court, costs etc., and the city is to waive these attorneys fees and court costs whether or not we could get them is highly debatable, but the net effect is that thanks to Mr. Lloyds efforts, the city has been saved $950,000 so I would recommend to you that you pass this resolution authorizing us to waive the attorneys fees and the costs which because of the fact, the city is obligated to pay $50,000 anyway and authorize the payment of the $50,000 which is the city's obligation under its insurance contract. I would like also to suggest that Mr. Lloyd is due a vote of thanks and gratitude. He worked many and long hours on it. Mayor Kennedy: Certainly we want to congratulate Mr. Lloyd who has long been one of this states outstanding trial attorneys. We are very lucky to have a man of his caliber with the city and we recognize that.

SCHIFFHAUER VS.CITY OF MIAKI Mr. Neil Glassford appeared in behalf of Lt. Schiffhauer and urged the Commission not to take an appeal in the case of Lt. Albert J. Schifhauer vs. the City of Miami on the grounds that Lt. Schifhauer had not been afforded a hearing before the Review Board of the Police Department, and that today Judge Gayle entered an order requiring that Lt. Schifhauer be reinstated and that he be entitled to a hearing before the Disciplinary Review Board and that the Chief of Police was ordered to do this by 5 P.M. today. Mr. Glassford stated the Board was created by the Chief and at the time Lt. Schifhauer was fired, it had not been incorporated in the new contract submitted to the City Commission for ratification on all employees and this was part of the contract and was in effect at the time. He requested that because his client was off payroll since September 14, 1973 and the provisions of the Review Board required a hearing which he was not afforded and bypassed and asked the Commission to direct the City Attorney not to enter an appeal but to allow Lt. Schifhauer to be reinstated at 5 P.M. today and then proceed with the provisions of the Disciplinary Review Board. It was stated this procedure was one created by the Chief of Police, incorporated in the new contract with policemen and then Lt. Schifhauer was arbitrarily not given the benefit of the hearing before the Board. Reverend Gibson commented he could not understand why the hearing had not been afforded to Lt. Schiffhauer. Mr. Lloyd, Assistant Director of the Department of Law stated the law department was of the opinion that the matter of submitting such cases to the review board was discretionary with the Chief of Police and stated the legal position of the law department with respect to recent court actions and that a notice of appeal had already been filed. Mr. Glassford read Official Bulletin (Police) 19-73 dated 31 May 1973 - Departmental Disciplinary Review Board: "Effective as of June 1, 1973, a Department Disciplinary Review Board is created. The purpose is to provide a review hearing procedure for the employee prior to the Chief of Police taking final action on disciplinary matters. (a) The Board shall automatically review all completed disciplinary investigations for which the recommended punish- ment is forfeiture of time, suspension, fine or dismissal. (b) The Board shall also review official written reprimands upon request of the accused employee. " Mr. Glassford continued that on May 30, 1973, members of the Police Department were selected to serve on the Department Disciplinary Review Board. The Beard will serve from June 1 to 30 September 1973 at which time a new board will be created. Mr. Lloyd stated the Board served in an advisory capacity to the Chief of Police. After further discussion, the City Attorney was directed to Irepare two resolutions for Commission action this date. See minute tem 162 - Resolution No. 73-855 and 73-856 60.

NOES: None 41 OCT 191973 63 EXECUTIVE PAY PLAN_ �- DI SCUSS I OK Mr, Andrews: During the budget hearings, I indicated to you that the Commission would have an opportunity to review the adjustments to the Executive Pay Plan. I have taken the liberty of preparing a chart which I will distribute to each of the Commission and which indicates my recommendations for certain adjustments to take place within the Executive Pay Plan. I do not expect the Commission to sit at the Commission table today and try to evaluate what I am recommending, because you will want to independently review this and come to your own conclusions. It is my recommendation that I distribute this to you and that you discuss this at the 25th meeting after you have had an opportunity to look at this. It will give you a better opportunity to study it and come to your own conclusions. Incidentally I did not prepare a memorandum purposefully. I didn't want to unduly influence the Commission,just very plainly, I set out on this chart the proposed adjustments. The existing salaries are circled and the Manager's recommendations are placed in yellow. Mr. Plummer: I discussed, some time ago, when the Executive Pay Plan was brought forward very simply that there should be some type of incentive program for people who have been with the City since we have no incentive beyond 15 years and we were told at the time that this could be handled at budget time but I will wait until this is discussed on October 25th. Mayor Kennedy: While we are on that. It has been called to my attention that we may be having a problem up in the City Commissioner's Office. The 4 secretaries who are presently up there, one of them has served the City for 21 years, one has served the City for 33 years and another for 19 years and another for 9 years and the pay scales that they are at they have earned by hard work and many years of service. Under the new salary range for the Commissioner's to have secretaries, it is my understanding that one has already started at the highest category and for a new person to come in at $12,085 which is $72.00 less a year than Miriam Glowacki the present secretary for 4 Commissioner's makes with 33 years of service, I think is going to upset the entire salary scale of the City of Miami. We know that these people are not on Civil Service but certainly, starting someone in a secretarial position at $12,085, I don't think any Executive Secretary in the State of Florida starts with that salary and certainly they don't have a 9 to 5 job. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Mayor, may I remind you that although your intentions are well taken, that you have misquoted some facts. One of them is that the person whose name you -.-mentioned and the salary that you mentioned are both not exactly accurate. The duties have been such that they required attention to 4 Commissioners. The duties that will be expected in the future will be to serve only one Commissioner therefore, you aren't suggesting I hope a rollback in salary are you? Mayor Kennedy: No because she has earned her salary by 33 years of service to the City of Miami. Mrs. Gordon: I know but experience can be gained whether its gained in one place or another. We have hired a Parks Director from another location because of his background and experience to serve in that particular capacity. Mayor Kennedy: But he is the only Parks and Recreation Director that we have. Mrs. Gordon: Yes but we have a new system now whereby the Department of Commissioners, each Commissioner will have a separate and individual secretary therefore the role that was previously played is not the role that will be played in the future and I understand your concern but your concern is stretching a point way beyond reality and may I remind you also that the person who has just been hired as Executive Secretary has served the City at no pay for a full year and for the records to reflect, the work that was done on behalf of the City, at no pay to the City, I would liketo read into the public record, the following: 42 OCT 19i9T3 #1: the individual whose name you did not mention but only by reference helped prepare the citizen support for the charter amendment which the city passed by a 2 to 1 vote last November. #2: Assisted in establishing as citizens commitee to study plan and plan implementation and served this committee for more than 10 months with professional consultant in arriving at a completely new structure which has been accepted and approved by the City of Miami Commission. #3: Researched the need for additional child care facilities and recommended review for model centers in the city and established ad -hoc conferences to seek project through to completion which led to child day care task force. Met. With Dr. L. Patsy of the Board of Education regarding the feasibility of after school supervised care and public school systems. The program is being initiated with revenue sharing funds. #4: Upon discovery of the city's outdated inventory of realestate holdings of the past 25 years, initiated a current inventory along with the rental income and expenses. #5: Established a senior citizen advisory committee through multiple agencies and organizations to provide input for the park and recreation department. #6: In cooperation with a group of architects in the process of developing or helping to develop the tree bank program to save the trees which are being removed from building sites and provide seedlings for public property. #7: Developed acceptance of a Methadone Clinic in local areas by building personal communications with city resources and leaders of civic associations. Effort involved school resource, school counselors, school personnel, parks and recreation leaders, clinic doctors and interested citizens. #8: Coordinated the planning for the youth in government seminar involving public and private high school students to give them direct experience and evaluation of local government. Also provide teacher orientation - Mayor Kennedy: I'll stipulate to all of that and you can put it in the record because she is certainly a wonderful lady. Mrs. Gordon: Wonderful is not the point because she is serving the city and has served the city and is serving the city at a rate of scale of pay far below what the city is receiving in benefits. Mayor Kennedy: She has the qualifications of being Assistant City Manager. We are talking about an executiv e secretary and she does not have the typing and stenography, the skills necessary if she was under Civil Service to qualify as a secretary. Mrs. Gordon: She suits the needs of my dictation, thank you. Mayor Kennedy: We are talking about secretary now. We are not talking about an administrative aide because the Mayor is the only one that is allowed to have an Administrative Aide. We are talking about a secretary. Mrs. Gordon: We are talking about semantics. Mayor Kennedy: We are talking about typing, shorthand and morale. 0f 4 women who have served this city for many many years and who have worked up through the system in getting to a pay scale that now you are bringing in someone else that is going to have the exact same pay scale. Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Andrews, what is the pay scale? I don't have it in front of me but - Mayor Kennedy: I'll tell you right now, I've got it in front of me. Mrs. Shaughnessey is making $14,000 after 21 years of service. Miriam Giowacki is making $12,950 after 33 years of service and you are starting at $12,085 which is $72 less than Miriam Giowacki. Mrs. Gordon: No, you are not reading right. $12,950 is a great deal more than $12,085. May I remind you that there is also an increase which has been budgeted for these girls that will be given to them on the first of the year. This new secretary will not be expecting an 43 increase the first of the year. That will make a greater differential between the 4 girls who have been working and the new one who has just Come in. I think you just didn't see the figures correctly. Mayor Kennedy: There is $72.00 a month difference. Mrs. Gordon: Well we aren't talking about the month, we are talking about an annual salary scale and we just don't want to break it down that way. Mayor Kennedy: Well Miriam Glowacki will be making some $800.00 more after 33 years of service. Mrs. Gordon: No David, its not correct because on the first of the year she will receive a 5% increase which will be about another $600 or $650 annual increase which will bring it up to $13,500 as compared to $12,000. I think you can argue the point as much as you like but lets face reality, Miriam will be serving one Commissioner, Mr. Plummer and that's all and the other Commissioners who will be here after election, if its these Commissioners, fine, if not, it will be someone else will be hiring whoever they desire to serve their needs. None of us will have to use Miriam and Miriam has done an outstanding job and I commend her for the work she has done for 4 people. I don't know how in the world she could have done it but now her load will be less and I complement her on what she has done. Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor, let me ask a couple of questions. I don't know if you remember when we talked about Secretary's but I asked what was going to happen to the women up there. I asked that question because I envisioned that you could develop problems. I was assured that the people there would remain and be given the same salary and all of that. I just want to make the record clear that if I am here and I am going to get a secretary, I want the salary to be the same, even if the person only had 1 year experience, that's none of your business since you say we are hiring because of our needs. I didn't know that's the way,you hire a secretary. I thought that a person who was a secretary would be a secretary and qualified. Now it seems to me that if you are going to hire a secretary, its nott demoralizing to this City, when you talk about economy and you talk about all the other things we talk about to bring in a person and I have no objection to people making maximum salary but $12,000 plus dollars for a secretary. Mr. Andrews, how much does your secretary get? Mr. Andrews: I'll have to look that up. Mrs. Gordon: While he is looking, may I remind you that the secretary in Metro receive more than this even if they are in -hired. They are hired by their ability and their qualifications and this is the guideline for all positions. Rev. Gibson: Well I want to tell everybody now that I am going to be the judge of whether my secretary is qualified or not qualified under the circumstances and when I bring one, I expect you to see to it Mr. Andrews that she gets the same pay as everybody else. The reason I am taking this position is that you are setting a bad precedent. Morally you are going to destroy the goose that laid the golden egg. Mr. Andrews: Mrs. Tillman receives $12,700. Mr. Plummer: How long has she been with the City? Mr. Andrews: 3 years. Mr. Plummer: And Mrs. Selma Schwartz, what does she make? Mayor Kennedy: She has got all the secretarial skills as an Executive Secretary, typing and shorthand. Mr. Andrews: Yes Sir, she is a top drawer Executive Secretary that I would match against anybody's Executive Secretary not just in the City of Miami, but in total Dade County. Mr. Plummer: The Secretary youhad before, Mrs. Schwartz. What does she make? 44 OCT 19 1973 Mr. Andrews: $11,000. Mr. Plummer: How long has she been with the City? Mr. Andrews: I think its 4h or 5 years. Mr. Plummer: Bob, whatever the classification is. What is a Secretary hired by Civil Service. What does she start with? Mr. Robert Paulk: A secretary who is hired into the City are generally called Secretary I, II and III. Secretary III there are very few of and they are in Range 17, somewhere in the vicinity of $625 a month in -hiring going upwards to around $928 Mayor Kennedy: And they would have to have proficiency in shorthand and typing, right? Mr. Paulk: Yes Sir, now that is a promotional position, Secretary III and there are really very few of them. We bring in many people as Secretary II and sometimes I. Mrs. Gordon: May I remand you that a 40 hour a week job is one thing but the Secretary that works for me does not work a 40 hour a week job. It is a job that is much more demanding. It is a job that covers meetings in the evening. It's a job that covers public meetings on a Saturday, these are the kinds of duties that I require for my secretary. Now if you want to tell me how I should tell my secretary to work, that's one thing but I don't require the kind of skills that your people require. I require a great deal more skill than what you require. Rev. Gibson: Then you want an Administrative Assistant Rose. Mrs. Gordon: I have, an Executive Secretary. Mr. Plummer: I guess I am the least one that should speak. Mrs. Gordon: Exactly. Mr. Plummer: Well I am still going to take that preroggative. Mrs. Gordon: You immediately said when this thing was done, I want Miriam Giowacki because - Well why didn't you want to toss for it? Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, may I speak now, is that possible? Let's go back to the original conception of when this was brought up at budget time because there is the possibility that I am going to be faced as all of you are right now that Mrs. Giowacki might retire and I will have to hire a new secretary. I hope that's not the case but it might be. Now lets go back to budget time and I would like to bring up now what I said then. If in fact, we are going to have a secretary, not an administrative aide or anything else, but a secretary and I think that is where the wording has been misplaced. We were going to have a secretary, not an admin- istrative aide. We are talking about someone who works 5 days a week, 9 to 5 and if you want you can have her afterwards for doing things that you want to do and if she is agreeable to it, fine but when we talk about hiring a secretary at $12,000, I think we have gone way out of the realm of a secretary. Now if in fact Mrs. Gordon, you want to go back and say that each person is entitled to an administrative aide, then bring that up but that was not the point. The point was we were going to be afforded our own secretary. Now I think that good conscience dictates that a secretary will be paid accordingly and if we want beyond that, that we would furnish it out of our own pocket if we feel that is necessary. Mrs. Gordon: May I remind you, I did that for 2 years. I have supp- lemented the city's budget out of my own. Mr. Plummer: May I finish now Mrs. Gordon? Mrs. Gordon: If you want to go on with something that's constructive. If you want to continuo or you just want to continue harping on the sa*e thing. 45 OCT 191973 Mr. Plummer: May ilinish now? Mr. Mayor, I can only tell you that if Mrs. Glowacki does retire and that would be her elective, 1 surely could not in good conscience hire another secretary at the maximum pay and I think one of the things that must be kept in mind that we have always given to the secretaries upstairs incentive program for pay raises because of their loyalty and good service to this city and will in the future. Now Rose, I will only proffer this to you for consideration. If you have started your secretary at maximum pay, what are you going to do next year tt, give her a raise? I just leave this with you now because that is maximum, take it for what its worth. Mrs. Gordon: I read the report that we received from Mr. Andrews and it was titled an in -hiring scale and I don't have it in front of me, I am going from my memory. It's based upon an inhiring scale not only in the City_but ._also in Metropolitan Dade County, the Legislature and with other governmental bodies that hire people of this caliber. Mr. Andrews: In order to make sure that there is no misunderstanding as to what I said, I would like to read what was in the memorandum and the subject was establishing rates for secretarial positions and an offer to assist the City Commission in establishing the hiring rates for new secretaries, the following recommendation is provided with a salary range which begins at $8,570 and goes to $12,085 and then added is : This range should be espablished for secretaries in the Commissioner's Office with the in -hiring rate at around $9,942 to $10,442. This will maintain an equitable pay differential with the current secretary salaries for secretary working for the Board of Commissioners. Then listed, the current salaries for the secretaries starting with Mrs. Shaughnessey, Glowacki, Haas and White. Mr. Plummer: In other words it was your recommendation that they be started between 9 and 10 something? Mr. Andrews: YEs, to keep it in balance with the secretary's recognizing their long years of service and their activities, to start the new persons at a low rate and permit them as time moves on to build into a higher salary more commensurate then with their duties. Mrs. Gordon: That was just your idea. You didn't say it. You prefaced your remarks. Mr. Andrews: I was trying to be of assistance to get - Mrs. Gordon: We appreciate that. Mr. Andrews: to establish a point of beginning for the Commission. Mrs. Gordon: Could we move on Mr. Mayor with some other items? Rev. Gibson: Lit me ask this Mr. Mayor. I don't think we ought to just get off it now because this is a basic policy. What happens, suppose - Mrs. Gordon: Father, let your conscience be your guide. When you are ready to hire someone, let your conscience be your guide. Rev. Gibson: No Rose, No don't tell me about no conscience. When I bring a secretary here, she is going to get the same money that everybody else is getting. If your secretary is getting $12,800, that's what mine is going to get. Mrs. Gordon: I just said, let your conscience be your guide. Rev. Gibson: And I'll tell you something. We have to be concerned a►5out all of the other people who are presently working. I hope we don't overlook the fact that some people are here. Now, let me raise another question. I run a business, the church is a business and I am sure Rose runs one. My observation is and I hate to say this. I wonder if we can pay 12 thousand odd dollars for a person to be a secretary who isn't going to do any more work than we have to have done up there. I admit that Rose is different than Theodore. I am not doing some of 46 OCT 191973 other things but I tell you this. I have a secretary, I run a church and I think the church I run demands as much time as and one of the things I keep hearing a lot of people say, I just raise this question. Maybe Mr. Andrews you could tell me this. If I share a Secretary with another Commissioner, can I give her the same salary that I would pay a Secretary or he would pay a secretary, since apparently the money goes with from what I hear Rose saying, the money goes with the position. That is with the Commission. Let me put it this way. If I want to really stretch the point, I then must hire a person based on my needs. All right, then that means Ipay the person based on my needs, then the salary follows me and the person, then I could do with that salary as long as they work and I ought to be able to say okay, Plummer and I want to share a secretary, take the two salaries and give it to her and say I want you to do my work. I could do that if I am reasoning correct with what I am hearing because you have no control over that secretary's time. She doesn't work from 9 to 5. No, that isn't what I said Rose, you just said that you needed somebody to go make your meetings on Saturday and otherwise and all I am saying is, if that's what you are going to do, I want to make sure that you understand that I expect that 12 thousand odd dollars to follow my secretary and if I share Mrs. Giowacki with J.L., if J.L. gives her 12 and I give her my 12, all I am saying is, all she has to do is do my work. Mr. Plummer: Well Father, I think that is compounding the problem. I can understand your reasoning. Mayor Kennedy: It's not unbelievable Rose, I think its very serious. Mr. Andrews Secretary works, I can guarantee you she is either taking dictation or typing the whole time she is here because she is an Bxecutive Secretary. Now and I can guarantee that Annette Shaughnessy who is my Executive Secretary never leaves that typewriter, now - Mrs. Gordon: You want typing all the time, I want other things that are more important to the city's welfare. Mayor Kennedy: Well I don't know about, we are talking about a position. Mrs. Gordon: We are talking about a person who will be working with a Commissioner and working with a Commissioner the way the Commissioner wants them to do the work that will benefit the City of Miami and thats the objective, to benefit the City of Miami unless you have any other objectives. I don't have any othe objectives. Rev. Gibson: Well that could be taken 2 or 3 ways now. Mayor Kennedy: I just, I think - Rev. Gibson: Mr. Mayor, I want to say this. I think we ought to establish a rule and policy that is applicable to everybody. I resent and I don't like it at all. I don't think we ought to make rules for one. The same rules ought to apply to others. This is what I have been hearing all along. Now, I just feel that we ought to keep that in mind. I never knew that I was expected to have an Executive Secretary or that I was expected to have an Adri,nistrative Assistant. Mayor Kennedy: And the thing is, it's going to be very hard for a Commissioner excluding you Mrs. Gordon, to keep a Secretary typing and doing the work up there and justify a 12 thousand dollar salary. Bach individual Commissioner has a Secretary instead of 4 of them having a Secretary and you are paying them $12,000 a year and you take a good legal secretary, I mean a top grade legal secretary downtown that works no set hours, no 8 to 5 because a secretary that is getting a 12 thousand dollar salary, she comes in on Saturday Mornings, Saturday Afternoons, or Sundays if necessary if the attorney needs her or that business executive needs her. She has no set hours for that type of salary and these girls will be working 8 to 5 and they are not going to have 'the volume of work to satisfy that type of salary and I just think..... We have em ployees of this City. We have an Assistant City Clerk. What does the Assistant City Clerk make? Mr. Southern: $16,000 Mayor Kennedy: But before we had this pay increase, he wasn't making 47 OCT 191973 that kind of money. Mr. Southern: No, about 12. Mayor Kennedy: About 12, and certainly his responsibilities are superior to that of a Commissioner and I just think that we are setting a very dangerous precedent because in your case, you have a person that is very much over qualified for the job and she would demand a salary like that and she is worth a salary like that but the problem is that it is setting a bad precedent for that type of position, that's all I am saying. I don't want to see this City destroyed and the morale of its employees destroyed because when you get a group of people together and they are not making the same amount of salary and they have a differentiation in years of service to this City, you are goingto have that problem. I am just telling you that now. I'm not going to have to cope with it but I love this City and I hate to see it slowly destroyed from within. Mr. Plummer: Well Mr. Mayor, what do we do now? Mrs. Gordon: Mr. Mayor, may I say again, like I said before that the City has received services and is receiving services far in excess of what the person involved is going to receive in salary. Now if you are going to talk about adjustments in work. If you are going to talk about adjustments in salary and therefore, if you are going to do something you are going to do everything and you are going to equalize everything according to the load so, I don't know what your plan was Mr. Plummer but I am ready to move with another one if you move with the one that I think you are. Mr. Plummer: Let the record be clear. The Mayor brought this up, I did not. I had no solution to offer then and I don't have one now. Mrs. Gordon: Then why are we spending so much time. Why don't we move on with business? Mr. Plummer: Because I think the Mayor has brought up a point and there is without -question some discord upstairs. It's there, you can't deny it. Mrs. Gordon: There is from the lowest salary at least a 10% differential. Now that's a lot of salary differential. 10% Mr. Plummer: Rose, if I may - Mayor Kennedy: There is a lot of difference in 1 week and 33 years. Mrs. Gordon: I'm sorry, you don't base it on 1 week and 33 years. You base it on quality of work and amount of work to be done. Mayor Kennedy: Not when you are dealing with a government that has a Civil Service System and Civil Service is based on tenure. Mrs. Gordon: This is unclassified service. Mayor Kennedy: It is but the City basically is on Civil Service and you are talking about an organization that is motivated by tenure and whether that's good or bad, that's what we have and tenure in this case is most important and you can't get around it. This is not a private industry where you go out and hire some genius from M.I.T and bring him in and put him in as the top engineer in private industry. You are talking about a government that is motivated by Civil Service career people and bringing in someone at a salary equivilent to people who have been working 33 years is'nt right. Mrs. Gordon: But you are changing the scope of the job Mr. Mayor. This is what you fail to - Mayor Kennedy: Sure you are because yours can't type and take shorthand. Darn right you are changing it. She will be the highest paid Executive Secretary in the country for one that can't type or take shorthand . Mrs. Gordon: She has put out plenty of letters for me this week on the broken down typewriter she was supplied that put a hole in every 0. If you think you can type better on a broken down typewriter, try it. 48 OCT 191973 Mrs. Gordon: Come on Dave. Let's get off this and on with business. Mr. plummet: You know Rose, you say get on but now, if ybu tell me we could get on and forget about it and everybody up there would be happy I would say fine. Mrs. Gordon: You are never going to make everybody live so let's not try to make everybody happy. Rev. Gibson: I want to make a further observation. be concerned - Mr. Plummer: I think we have to come to some conclusion. In all fairness I think this Commission has got to adopt a policy and that policy will be this. Now if in fact that Rose says she needs Delores and it is the consent of this Commission that everybody shall have an administrative aide - Mrs. Gordon: It is not an administrative aide, it is executive secretary. Mayor Kennedy: I think we have to do something. Let me make a suggestion. We have to do 1 of 2 things. Even though these are unclassified positions, we are going to have to have these executive secretaries who are hired based on, even though they don't come under civil service, but by the standard which they would have to be hired if they were under civil service. In other words, they would have to have certain typing skills, certain shorthand skills. Mrs. Gordon: Not necessarily David, I don't need that. Mayor Kennedy: Let me finish - Mrs. Gordon: I don't want that. Mayor Kennedy: Either we are going to have to do that or we are going to have to amend this and say that,a Commissioner is entitled to either a secretary or administrative assistant because Delores does not qualify as an executive secretary, she could very well qualify. No - an executive secretary does have to type and take shorthand. Mrs. Gordon: No she does not have to David because in the Board of Realtors, the executive secretary does not have to take shorthand and do typing. In fact, we have many men executive secretaries who never even knew how to push the finger touch on a typewriter and were called executive secretary so don't tell me they have to type and take shorthand. That is not the terminology of an executive secretary Mayor Kennedy: I am trying to work it so that everybody is not upset, all right? Mrs. Gordon: Look David, if everybody is upset, I don't know why they should be upset. They are making a good deal more than she is making. Mayor Kennedy: The only one that is not upset is you in the whole City Hall okay? Now, let me say this. Mrs. Gordon: You are upset? Mayor Kennedy: Yes I am upset because I have 4 girls up there that I have worked wth for 12 years and I don't like the idea of them having to work and putting in these years and have someone else hired that don't have their skills for that particular job for which they are being hired for and getting as much money as they are and that makes me upset. Now if what you want to do is to make up a new resolution and saying that they either have to have secretarial skills based on what they would be required to have if they were applying for civil service and/or administrative assistant and then be designated that, I think you can get around it but if you hire people who do not have those basic skills and hire them as an executive secretary at that type of pay, you are going to destroy the whole morale at least on this side. happy as long as you Maybe I shouldn't 49 OCT 191973 mummegmemilllinnelli • Mr. Plummer: Well let me offer one other thing and I hope that will be drawn up because I think it should be laid as Rose said, to lay all of the facts on top of the table. 1 think that if it is going to be laid out that way, I would like to see also the way and the rules and the regulations, and when I say that Mr. Andrews, we are talking about a girl who will be a 5-day a week girl, she will work from 8 to 5 and whether she will be basically here at City Hall or whether we can send her out or whether she can attend meetings, it was not my thoughts at budget time that that's what we were going to have. Now, as you say, its probably a matter of semantics but I think the whole thing needs laying on top of the table and I think it's got to be clarified and I think we have got to find a point of reality. Mayor Kennedy: I laid it on the table. It's your baby now and you all know what the problem is. It's better to have it out than have it seething underneath the table. 64.

Plummer, Reboso, Mrs. Gordon, Reverend Gibson and Mayor Kennedy. NOES: None 65. INTERAMA SEWAGE TREATMENT PLAT- TRANSMISSION OF SLUDGE TO VIRGINIA KEY Mr. Andrews: I supplied a memorandum and you have probably not had an opportunity to read it. It has to do with the Interama Treatment Plant Sludge Line to Virginia Key and I am trying to identify for the Commission that the manner in which the treatment plant is to be dev- eloped and operated at Interama makes it a partial treatment plant in that it is proposed that the sludge from that plant be transported down a main which is presumably to be located at Biscayne Boulevard all the way through the City of Miami up through Bayfront Park to accross the Bay to Virginia Key where the sludge would be treated at the Virginia Key plant. We were not aware of this until the article was carried in a newspaper as to the fact that the Interama Plant would not be treating the sludge. We were under the impression that it would be designed so that the transporting of the sludge would not be necessary to the Virginia Key plant. There is several aspects about this that at least from an administrative point of view are distasteful. I don't know if the Commission would agree or not. I can't understand why sludge has to be treated at the Virginia Key plant. Why the Interama plant can't be designed to accomodate complete treatment at that location. Secondly, if this is not possible and it is demonstrated to the City Commission that it is not possible and a line is necessary that certainly such line not be constructed on Biscayne Boulevard disrupting the City 50 OCT 191973 of Miami once again to take care of matters that are outside of the corporate limits of the City and that some other routing be found either down the Bay or as an example, come accross the Bay and down Collins Avenue on Miami Beach and let it come accross the channel to Virginia Key and let another municipality be concerned with the location of these type of facilities that are servicing the areas outside of their own municipal jurisdiction and I would like the Commission to react to this. I don't know that a resolution is necessary at this time. I would based on your simple direction, communicate with the Metro Board Water and Sewer Authority and ask them to send Mr. Sloan here to the Commission meeting to indicate to the Commission fully what their plans are and have the Commission voice its objection if there are any objections to this plan. Mr. Plummer: Do you want us to adopt a policy? Mr. Andrews: Yes, I think you need to take a position that you either accept what is being planned. You haven't been consulted, and that which is being planned, I am advising you has some detrimental effects upon the City of Miami. First, I don't think we should be treating sludge from another treatment plant delivered to the Virginia Key plant. If we find that they cannot take care of the sludge at the Interama site, that it is physically impossible to do so, not just because the people up there object to the fact that they are going to have sludge drying beds and that is the purpose behind it, to pump it to Virginia Key so it can be put out into open beds on valuable bayfront property at Virg inia Key. Mr. Plummer: What now as it pertains Virginia Key? As I understood it existing facility. Mr. Andrews: That is the policy or what is the position of this City to what was given to the Miami -Metro Authority on , the only thing they they got was in fact, the Not the sludge beds that surround it. pis right. Mr. Plummer: Well then what would the policy be? Mr. Andrews: You have included the potentiality of another 60 acres for development of treatment plant. I don't know how they are going to develop that 60 acres and whether they include sludge drying beds. Mr. Plummer: I will give you a motion as to the policy and intent of this Commission is that the sludge beds at the Virginia Key plant will not be expanded beyond present operating facilities, that any expansion that is done is solely for the plant and not for sludge beds. Is that what you are looking for? Mr. Andrews: More than that. May I try to preface the resolution of intent and you can give these instructions to the City Attorney to prepare it and put it on the agenda for the 25th for adoption rather than try to spend time here today. Mr. Plummer: Why don't you go ahead and give it to him and then he can prepare it and bring it to us at the next meeting. Mr. Andrews: Fine, I will do that. 66.
