2, INTERAMA DISCUSSION - CIIY OF MIAMI'S VENDOR LIEN
MR, GISSENDANNER: MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, THIS
MORNING PROBABLY
INTERAMAMUSTCROSS RIN OREERFTOHPROCEED. IHE ALITY HOFSMIAMI S ASAHEARD
MANY PRESENTATIONS ABOUT INTERAMA IN THE PAST AND SINCE THE LITY OF
MIAMI IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS PROJECT AND SINCE YOU ORIG-
INALLY ANDALWAYYS INVOLVED SINRRED THE PROGRESSIT TOEOFTATE INTERAMA.WITHA 1 KNOWOEN,THE IT GOES BACKCITY HASBF11UN
OR 1L YEARS, THE INTERAMA AUTHORITY HAS BEEN BEFORE YOU MANY TIMES FOR
CONSIDERATION AND INDEED THE NEW AUTHORITY THAT HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE
FOR L YEARS HAS BEEN BEFORE YOU MANY TIMES AND YOU HAVE COOPERATED WITH
US AND PROVIDED DADE COUNTY WITH A SEWAGE TREATMENT FACILITY OR AT LEAST
MADE THE LAND AVAILABLE FOR THAT AND WE APPRECIATE THE COOPERATION
BECAUSE WITHOUT IT WE COULD NOT 4AVE PAID OFF THE GOODBODY LOAN AND
BOND DEBT THAT WAS IN DEFAULT. IHIS MORNING WE ARE HERE TO ASK YOU
TO PASS A DRAFT RESOLUTION WHICH HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO YOU BY THE
AUTHORITY AS THE LAST ENTITY THAT IS NECESSARY FOR APPROVAL BEFORE
WE CAN GO TO OUR BAND VALIDATION AND BEFORE WE CAN SHOW THE FEDERAL
GOIN MIAMI,
1 USETHAT WE THERE WORDVALVED IN MIAMI BECAUSEEDING THE rRESIDENTINIXONEINIAL HISCATION
DESIG-
NATION, BEING ONE OF THE FOUR NATIONAL SATES FOF; IMPETUS IN OUR
I -CENTENNIAL, HE USED THE WORD MIAMI HE DIDN T USE THE WARD DADE
LOUNTY, HE DIDN T USE THE WORD MIAMI I3ACH, NORTH MIAMI OR i'LORIDA,
HE USED THE WORD MIAMI. HE SAID MIAMI S PART OF THE CELEBRATION IN
THE BI-CENTENNIAL WOULD BE THE BUILDING, OPENING AND RUNNING OF A
INT RNATIONAL CULTURAL TRADE CENTER, 1 THINK THE SPOTLIGHT TODAY IS
ON MIAMI, AND RIGHTLY SO. IHE QUESTION HAS BEEN RAISED AS TO WHY DID
WE GO TO ALL THIS WORK, GO TO THE LEGISLATURE AND MANY OTHER GROUPS
TO GET THEIR APPROVAL BEFORE COMING TO MIAMI, WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO
MIAMI FIRST BECAUSE YOU ALL KNEW MIAMI HAD TO AGREE TO THIS AND THE
ANSWER IS VERY SIMPLE AND CLEAR. WE DID NOT WANT TO COME TO MIAMI
UNTIL WE KNEW WE HAD A VIABLE PROJECT. WE DID NOT WANT TO COME TO
MIAMI UNTIL WE HAD A LAW THAT PERMITTED US TO DO THE THINGS THAT WE
WANTED TO DO, WE DID NOT WANT TO COME TO MIAMI UNTIL WE HAD THE
APPROVAL OF THE FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY WHO IS GOING TO
HAVE A CAMPUS UP THERE. WE DID NOT WANT TO COME TO MIAMI UNTIL WE
HAD APPROVAL FROM THE THIRD CENTURY CORPORATION WHICH IS RESP9NSIBLE
FOR BRINGING THE BICENTENNIAL CELEBRATION TO MIAMI. WE DIDN T WANT
TO COME UNTIL WE HAD NORTH MIAMI AGREE TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAW
AND WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO DO TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS. THEY HAVE
OVER 1 MILLION DOLLARS INVESTED THERE. WE DIDN T WANT TO COME TO
MIAMI UNTIL WE HAD DADE COUNTY AGREEMENT TO BACK UP OUR FUNDING SO
THAT PRIVATE PR)I'LE IN THE BUSINESS COUNTY WHO BUY THE BONDS WOULD
HAVE REASON TO 'BELIEVE THAT THEIR INVESTMENT WOULD BE SOUND.

WE HAD TO DO ALL OF THESE THINGS AND WE PROBABLY COULD HAVE GONE
TO THE LEGISLATURE LAST BUT THE LEGISLATURE WAS IN SESSION AND WE
HAD TO TAKE THEM WHILE THEY WERE THERE. WE WILL HAVE A REPRESENTATION
THIS MORNING FROM THESE GROUPS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED TO SHOW
YOU AND TO HELP SUPPORT YOU IN THE ACTION THAT WE HOPE YOU WILL TAKE.
WE HOPE YOU WILL PUT INTO YOUR PUBLIC RECORDS THIS MORNING, A FOUN-
DATION THAT INTERAMA HAS NEVER REALLY ENJOYED BEFORE AND THAT IS A
WIDE BASE OF PUBLIC SUPPORT SO THAT YOU, THE COMMISSION AND THE
ADMINISTRATION OF MIAMI AND THE CITIZENS OF MIAMI CAN LOOK BACK ON
THIS PUBLIC RECORD TODAY AND ANYONE WHO MIGHT QUESTION IN THE FUTURE
WILL KNOW THAT WHRN YOU TOOK YOUR ACTION TODAY THAT THERE WAS WIDE
PUBLIC SUPPORT. 0 BASICALLY MR, MAYOR, WE ARE HERE TO PUT ON A
PROGRAM OF PUBLIC RECORD AND SUPPORT FOR THIS PROJECT AND HOPING IT

IMPORTANT RESOLUTION. ITS NOT A DOG AND PONY SHOW, ITS REALLY A
HOPED THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE US WITH VERBATIM COPIES SO
THAT WHEN WE GO TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WE WILL HAVE THE MINUTES
OF A MEETING THAT SHOW BROAD COMMUNITY SUPPORT. IT WAS NOT WITH ANY
IDEA OF TRYING TO ENTRAP THE CITY OF MIAMI THAT WE WENT TO EVERYONE

TELL YOU THAT IN B HALF OF THE INTEREST
BOARD OF REGENTS, THE
CHANCELLOR AND MY STAFF THAT WE INTEND TO DEVELOP IN PNCERT WITH
THE TOTAL INTERAMA PROJECT, ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING STATE UNIVERSITY
CAMPUSES EVER BUILT IN THIS NATION. THE INTERAMA SITE OFFERS MANY
OPPORTUNITIES FOR US IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT CAMPUS THAT OTHER
SITES IN THIS STATE AND THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY DO NOT PROVIDE FOR
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS. IT WILL BUILT NOT AS A CAMPUS THAT S SET
APART FROM THE OTHER ACTIVITIES PLANNED TO GO ON AT THAT SITE BUT
WILL BE BUILT TO COORDINATE AND TO BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF THOSE
ACTIVITIES. THE INTERNATIONAL THRUST OF THE UNIVERSITY IN CONCERT
WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTER AND OTHER ACTIVITIES THERE
WILL ENABLE THE UNIVERSITY TO USE ITS INTELLECTUAL AND SERVICE
RESOURCES TO DEVELOP MEANINGFUL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES FOR THIS
ENTIRE AREA, AS YOU KNOW MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION,
MIAMI IS IN FACT, BECOMING ONE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CENTERS IN THE
WORLD. IN ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT THE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS WILL PLAY
AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN COORDINATING WITH OTHER ACTIVITIES ON THE CAMPUS
THINK YOU ARE VERY MUCH AWARE THAT THE FIRST CAMPUS AT FLORIDA
INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY WOULD HAVE BEEN BUILT ON THE INTERAMA SITE
IF THE PROJECT WOULD HAVE BEEN GO, TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO.
HE POPULATION CENTER OF MIAMI, GREATER MIAMI I CLOSER TO THE
INTERAMA SITE THAN IT,IS TO THE .IAMIAMI SITE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
HAVE BEEN OUT ON THE TAMIAMI CAMPUS RECENTLY WILL NOTE THAT WE HAVE
TWO WIL OPEN IN THE FALL FOR
MOREMAJOR THAN DUUULSTUDENTS.ITIES MATS D5 TIMES X AND ETHELNUMBER OF STUDENTS FOR
THE OPENING OF ANY COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY IN THIS COUNTRY,
1 SUBMIT TO YOU THAT THE NUMBER WOULD HAVE BEEN DOUBLED IF WE HAD
OPENED AT INTERAMA. SO IN TERMS OF SERVING THE CITIZENS OF GREATER
MIAMI, THE INTERAMA CAMPUS OFFERS A BETTER LOCATION AS FAR AS THE
GR GEOAPHIr CENTER FOR NUMBER. 0 IN SUMMARY, LET ME AS$URE YOU
MR. MAYOR, AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, THAT LORIDA NTERNATIONAL
UNIVERSITY LOOKS FORWARD TO PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROJECT AND TO
SERVING THE PUBLICS HIGHER EDUCATION NEEDS AT THIS REGION, PARTICULARLY
THOSE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN, OLD MEN AND WOMEN, BLACKS AND WHITES, RICH
AND POOR WHO LIVE NOT ONLY IN THIS COUNTY, BUT IN THE CITY OF MIAMI.

R. MAURICE I'ERRE AND GUI (OEVART BOTH OF WHO ARE OUT OF TOWN TODAY.
HIS IS SUCH A BID PROJECT AND REQUIRE$ THE TOTAL AND COMPLETE
COMMITMENT OF ALL THE COMMUNITY, THAT THINK THAT 1 SHOULD REMARK
THAT ABOUT TWO TO THREE YEARS AGO WHEN INTERAMA PROJECT WAS IN DEEP
LITIGATION, IN FACT IN DEFAULT AND WHEN THE STATE HAD GIVEN UP ON
IT AND TRANSFERRED IT TO DADE COUNTY, AND DADE COUNTY, PROBABLY IN
IN A FIT OF FRUSTRATION, DECIDED THAT THE ONLY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
WAS TO SEW. ENOUGH LAND OFF TO PAY OFF THE DEBT, A GROUP CAME FORWARD
FROM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERC& THEY HAD AN INTERAMA COMMITTEE AND
THIS GROUP WORKED VERY DILLEGENTLY WITH ALL OF US TO TRY TO ARRIVE
AT A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.
6 MAY 19, 1972
s
AND SAVING THE LAND. THE CHAMBER I MENTIONED, CAN TAKE CREDIT
FOR THE FACT HAT THE LAND IS PRESERVED TODAY AND IS IN THE PUBLIC
DOMAIN. HE RES DENT QQF THE CHAMBER AT THAT TIME WAS A GENTLEMAN
WE ALL KNOW, R. ALVAH LHAPMAN AND HE HAD A VERY ABLE AO�DIED ASSISTANT
AND NE OF HE MOST ABLE BODIED ASSISTANTS HE HAD WAS MARION SIBLEY
AND MARION SIBLEY HAD AGREED TO REPRESENT DADE COUNTY IN THE
LITIGATION WITHOUT COMPENSATION AND WE HAVE PLENTY OF ATTORNEYS THAT
HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THESE MATTERS, THE AUTHORITY HAS HMR AD .
ARONOVITZ IH OUSE OM ANY HAS THEIR ATTORNEY, MR, MARK BISHOP,
IS HERE, DILLFRATES LAW rIRM AND HE HIMSELF HAS HELPED 4ND WORKED
WITHOUI COMPENSATION FOR THIRD CENTURY AND HE IS HERE, 1 DON T
RINK UR. F RF:Y BROUGHT HIS ATTORNEY, 1 AM SURE HE HAS ONE SOMEWHERE,
MR. STUART JIMON HAS BEEN V RY HELPFUL IN THE COUNTY ATTORNEYS OFFICE
AND OF COURSE YOUR OWN MR, ALAN ROTHSTEIN) BUT A GROUP SUCH AS US,
WHEN WE LOOK AROUND FOR SOMEBODY TO TALK FOR ALL OF US IN LEGAL TERMS
AND WE LOOK FOR SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING TO WORK FOR NOTHING AND ONE WHO
IS RECOGNIZED AS BEING THE TOPS IN HIS PROFESSION, AND ONE WHO IS
WILLING TO GIVE OF HIS TIME AND WHO HAS THE TALENT AND THE KNOWLEDGE,
WHY WE NATURALLY SETTLE ON MARION SIBLEY. SO AT THIS POINT IN THE
PROGRAM B CAUSE THE DADE DELEGATION, REPRESENTATIVE DUBBIN IS NOT
HERE AND 1 MIGHT SAY THAT WITHOUT THE DADE DELEGATION, WE COULD
NOT HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THE THINGS WE HAVE AND THEY PUT ASIDE MANY
OTHER IMPORTANTBUSINESS AT THE TIME TO HELP US WITH INTERAMA PROJECT.
MURRAY UUBBINS OFFICE AND HE WAS TO HERE HANDLED IT AND THE DADE
DELEGATION HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN ALL OF OUR DELIBERATIONS WITH THE
ROUSE COMPANY AND WE KNOW THEY WILL BE INVOLVED AGAIN WHEN WE SIGN
A MANAGEMENT CONTRACT. IF HE ARRIVES LATER, WE WILL INTRODUCE HIM
BUT AT THIS TIME FOR THE PURPOSES OF REPRESENTATION OF THE BUSINESS
COMMUNITY THAT HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN REPRESENTED BY PREVIOUS
PRESENTATIONS AND THE TWO PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO, IF THERE IS ANY
NEGOTIATING TO BE DONE HERE THIS MORNING, WE WILL LET THEM NEGOTIATE
ALL
WITH
THE UPEOPLEOHULD EBROUGHTLIKE , jALVAHTIME
LHAPMANIANDOWUCE MARIONNSIBLEY. HE INTRODUCE
MR. CHAPMAN: THANK YOU MR. GISSENDANNER, AS HE SAID, IT WAS MY
PRIVELEGE TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THREE YEARS AGO
WHEN THE CHAMBER RECENTLY REASSERTER ITS INTEREST IN THE INTERAMA
PROJECT AND JOINED FORCES WITH DRA UISSENDANNER AND THE CITY OF
NORTH MIAMI, DADE COUNTY AND THE DADE DELEGATION AND''MANY OTHER
GROUPS TO TRY TO MOVE THIS PROJECT ALONG. WE HAVE BEEN PLEASED
WITH THE ALLIES THAT WE HAVE HAD. WE HAVE BEEN PLEASED WITH THE
PROGRESS ITS MADE. 1 STAND 4EFORE YOU AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
CHAMBER THREE YEARS AGO AND 1 HAVE BEEN ASKED TO SPEAK FOR THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY BUT 1 CAN SAY THAT THE PRESENT CHAMBER REPRESENTED
BY DAVID BLUMBERG, THE PRESIDENT AND MR. FREEMAN THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR ARE IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY AND JUST THIS WEEK, THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE OF THE PRESENT CHAMBER HAD REVIEWED THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION
THAT IS BEFORE YOU THIS MORNING AND IN LETTER THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN
URGED THAT THIS RESOLUTION IN THE FORM IN WHICH IT IS PRESENTED, BE
ASSED BY THIS COMMISSION AS A MEANS OF MOVING THIS PROJECT FORWARD.
1 ALSO STAND BEFORE YOU AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF A GROUP OF INTERESTED
CITIZENS THAT HAVE STUDIED THIS PROPOSAL AND ITS BEEN OVER THE ROUSE
PLAN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERAMA AND WE BELIEVE IN IT AND WE
IRINK IT WILL WORK AND WE THINK IT MAKES SENSE. WHAT THE CITY OF
MIAMI IS BEING ASKED TO DO IN REALITY IS TO GIVE UP NOTHING. ITS
YSING ASKED TO CHANGE THE FORM OF ITS LIEN TO TAKE AMPLE SECURITY,
OU ARE BEING ASKED TO TAKE AT LEAST ONE AND A HALF THE TIMES THE
VALUE OF YOUR LAND IN THE FORM OF AN OBLIGATION ON A SPECIFIC PIECE
OF LAND AND TO PVT THAT ASIDE AND WHICH IS NO WAY WOULD ENDANGER
THE LIEN OF THE LITY OF MIAMI AND ALLOW THIS PROJECT TO GO FORWARD.
WHAT YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO DO I§ A PART OF AN ACTION COMPACT,
AN ACTION COMPACT THAT INVOLVES DADE COUNTY AND TY HAVE GONE ALONG
WIT WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN ASKED TO DO, INVOLVES F(�E.1.U, AND THE STATE
QF tLORIDA, AND THEY HAVE GONE ALONG AND IT INVOLVES THE INTERAMA
AUTHORITY, THE CITY OF NORTH MIAMI, ALL THESE PEOPLE HAVE ONE
ALONG = IT WILL ULTIMATELY INVOLVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. GONE
WE CAN GO TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND DO THE ULTIMATE BOND FIN,ACING
WE MUST HAVE ALL OF OUR SUPPORT FROM ALL OF THE LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS
AND THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE TODAY. AS A GROUP OF BUSINESSMEN SAT
AROUND THE TABLE IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND DISCUSSED THIS, WE
FELT THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY THAT THE ITY QF MIAMI COULD EVER GET
ANY REAL CASH OUT OF THIS INTERAMA LIEN, HE CITY OF MIAMI IS NEVER
GOING TO SELL THAT LAND TO REALIZE CASH.
7
MAY 19, 1972
•
THE ONLY WAY THAT THg CITY OF MIAMI CAN EVER GET CASH WHICH I DO
IBELIEVE THE CITY OF MIAMI NEEDS IS FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN AT THE
NT-RAMA SITE. SOMETHING THAT WOULD GENERATE REVENUS FOR THE CITY
OF MIAMI TO SHARE IN. AND FROM THOSE REVENUES, THE LITY OF MIAMI
CAN ULTIMATELY GET ITS S AND ONE HALF MILLION DQLLARS BACK FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY OF MIAMI. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY,
ITS A MEANS OF GETTING CASH AND AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN THIS
DAY AND TIME AND IN THIS BUDGET CONDITION IS CERTAINLY NOT TO BE
SNEEZED AT. BUT MOR MPORTANTLY, T IS PROJECT WI L FURNISH TO THE
GREATER MIAMI AREA, bUUU NEW JOBS T WILL BRING 5.3 MILLION
VISITORS TO THE GATES OF THAT IN 197 . IT WILL BE THE MEANS BY WHICH
THE THIRD CENTURY PROJECT AND THE DESIGNATION AS A BI-CENTENNIAL SITE
FOR MIAMI CAN BE BROUGHT INTO REALITY AND WITH THAT COMES THE PROSPECT
OF PUTTING MIAMI AT THE HEAD OF THE LIST FOR ALL THE KINDS OF FEDERAL
BENEFITS THAT WILL HELP OUR COMMUNITY, IT WILL HELP IN HOUSING, IT
WILL HELP IN HIGHWAYS, IT, WILL HELP IN ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT THIS
COMMUNITY BADLY NEEDS, WE WILL GO TO THE HEAD OF THE
QE LIST ONCE WE
OURgET EVERYPROJECT NOFIWHICH YOU TASETHE NCOMMISSION MOFITHE DLITYTOF MIAMI
HAVE HAD A LONG INTEREST AND HAVE A LOT BETTER CHANCE OF COMING INTO
FRUITION WITH SUPPORT FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND SUPPORT FROM
THE STATE, SUPPORT FROM THE BUSINESS AND PRIVATE COMMUNITY TO BRING
THIS THING INTO REALITY, J0 WHAT WE ARE SAYING TO YOU LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMISSION, IS THAT THIS IS A$IG STEP FORWARD AND
YOU ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO GIVE UP ANYTHING, AS A PRUDENT BUSINESSMAN
AND TAXPAYER, I AM A TAXPAYER OF THE (ITY OF MIAMI, THE COMPANY OF
WHICH I AM THE PRESIDENT IS ONE OF YOUR LARGESTTAXPAYERS, WE WOULDN'T
ASK YOU TO TAKE AN IMPRUDENT STEP. WE STUDIED THIS AND WE BELIEVE IN
IT AND WE THINK IT MAKES OVERALL SENSE, ECONOMICALLY AND WE THINK IT
MAKES SENSE FQR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS AREA. WE THINK IT MAKES SENSE
FOR PUTTING 6000 MORE JOBS IN THE ROLLS OF THIS COMMUNITY FOR THE
CITIZENS 9F THE GREATER MIAMI COMMUNITY, SO WE URGE THAT YOU DO IT
AND WEDON T THINK YOU ARE GIVING UP ANYTHING, ON THE CONTRARY WE
THINK YOU ARE TAKING THE ONLY STEP POSSIBLE THAT WILL EVER ENABLE

TR. SIBLEY: MR. MAYOR AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN DF THE COMMISSION,
HAVE FOLLOWED THE INTERAMA PROBLEMS FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS,
PRIMARILY THE LEGAL PROBLEMS. YOU ARE REQUESTED TO PASS A R SOLUTION
WHICH YOU MIGHT FEEL IS NOT AUTHORIZED UNDER YOUR CHARTER. YOU
CITY ATTORNEY HAS RENDERED TO YOU AN OPINION, AN OPINION WHICH 1
DO NOT AGREE WITH.. THIS OPINION, YOUR ;ITV ATTOQRNEY HAS MADE THIS
STATEMENT. THE CITY OM Sj, QQ(N(� OF THE CITY OF MIA(� j I CANNO�LEGALLY
WAIVE PAYMENT OF THE 8, DUU,000 OBLIGATION TO THE GITY OF MIAMI OR
ANY PORTION THEREOF OR WAIVE THE RECONVEYANCE OF THE PROPERTY
INASMUCH AS THIS SUM AND THE OBLIGATION AND THE RIGHT TO RECONVEYANCE
OF THE PROPERTY IS BEING HELD BY THE CITY IN TRUST FOR THE CITIZENS
AND TAXPAYERS OF THE CITY OF MIAMI OR TO ANY OFITS RIGHTS AND PROPERTY.
THIS PROPERTY WAS ACQUIRED BY THE CITY FOR AN AIRPORT UND R THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5, SUBSECTION 11 OF YOUR CHARTER. THAT
PERMITTED THE CITY TO CONDEMN LAND OR TO PURCHASE LAND FOR THE PURPOSE
OF HAVING AN AIRPORT. IN THAT PARTICULAR SECTION OF THE CHARTER,
UNDERWHICH YOU. ACQUIRED THIS PROPERTY, THIS PROVISION IS TO BE FOUND.:
HE ITY OF MIAMI IS EMPOWERED QUOTE: TO GRANT DEEDS OR TO DEDICATE
LAND TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, STATE OR BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OF DADE COUNTY WITH OR WITHOUT CONSIDERATION PROVIDED HOWEVgR SUCH
LAND SHALL BE USED FOR FEDERAL, STATE OR COUNTY PURPOSES. IHIS
EMPOWERS YOU TO DO AS YOU SEE FIT, NOT ONLY TO SUBORDINATE YOUR
INDEBTEDNESS, BUT TO WAIVE YOUR INDEBTEDNESS IF YOU SEE FIT BECAUSE
THIS PROPERTY IS TO BE USED FOR A STATE PURPOSE AND WAS E D QYER
BY THE CITY ALTHOUGH THEY ASKED US A PURCHASE PRICE OF $s,suu,000
YOU ARE AUTHORIZE4 UNDER YOUR CHARTER TO WAIVE THAT CON IDERATI QN
IF XOU SEE FIT. THIS QUESTION HAS BEEN SETTLED BY THE SUPREME COURT
OF t'LORIDA IN THE Q E OF J CKSON MgMORIAL HOSPITAL. Y�jU WILL
REMEMBER THAT IN 1J4o, THE LITY OF MIAMI OWNED JACKSON MEMORIAL
HOSPITAL AND ALL THE LAND AROUND IT WHICH WAS A VERY VALUABLE ASSET
OF THE CITY. IHE CITY GAVE THAT TO DADE COUNTY AND OF COURSE IT
WAS ATTACKED BY THE CITIZENS ON THE GROUNDS THAT THE CITY HAD NO
IOWER TO GIVE AWAY, THIS VALUABLE PROPERTY. HESUPREME COURT OF
LORj1,DA HELD THAT THIS PROPERTY WAS BEING DEEDED BY THE CITY TO
THE COUNTY FOR A PUBLIC PURPOSE AND UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES IT
WASPERFECTLY VALID AND NO CONSIDERATION WAS NECESSARY. NOW, NOBODY
IS REQUESTING THE CITY TO WAIVE ITS LIEN. IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED AND
IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SENSIBLE SOLUTION TO SEI ASIDE A PORTION OF
IHIS LAND WHICH WILL BE OF VALUE OF AT LEAST 17 MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
bIVE THE CITY A SPECIFIC LIEN, AN OBLIGATION ON THAT PIECE OF
ITSPROPid ANDRTY SI/LHMILLIONAT THE CDOLLARSWILL
AND OPERMITAT LTHISL MPROJECT THAT TO MOVE IT WILL COLLECT
FORWA^D WITH THE BALANCE OF THE PROPERTY SO THAT THE CITY OF MIAMI
AS WELL AS THE CITIZENS OF DADE COUNTY PROFIT BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THIS GREAT ATTRACTION. WE URGE YOU TO ADOPT THIS RESOLUTION, YOU
ARE AUTHORIZED TO DO SO AND NOBODY IS ASKING YOU TO GIVE ANY PART
OF YOUR VENDORS LIEN, ALTHOUGH UNDER YOUR CHARTER YOU HAVE THAT RIGHT.
MAY^R K NNEDY' ALAN, HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO STUDY THE LEGAL OPINION
BY i'�R. bIBLEY'
MR, ROTHSTEIN: YES, THE LEGAL OPINION OF MR. SIBLEY IS NOT IN ANY
WAY IN CONFLICT WITH ME BECAUSE IN IT HE ISCUSSES THE FACT THAT
THERE IS NO SITUATION INVOLVED WHERE THE LITY OF MIAMI IS TO SU#OR-
DINATE ITS POSITION. IN OTHER WORDS WHAT I AM SAYING IS, 1 RON T
THINK WE HAVE TO GET INTO THE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION BETWEEN MR.
JIBL,EY ND MYSELF BECAUSE UNDER THE PRESENTATION THAT IS BEING MADE
BY MR. CHAPMAN, YOU ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO WAIVE YOU ARE BEING ASKED
TO ESTABLISH AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF PAYMENT. PHIS IS A MATTER OF
POLICY FOR THE COMMISSION TO DETERMINE. WE HAVE NO Q�jARREL ON THE
ISSUE THAT IS BEFORE YOU, HAVEN T SEEN THE CHAMBER KESOLUTION BUT
IPRESUME THE CHAMBER RESOLUTION SETS FORTH THAI MR. CHAPMAN PRESENTED
ABOUT A SUBORDINATION ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURES. IHE PRESENT POSTURE
9F THE CITY S POSITION IS THAT YOU HAVE A CONTRACT IN EXISTENCE WITH
INTERAMA WHERE IF INTERAMA DOES NOT BECOME A VIABLE, PRACTICAL OPERATION
THERE WILL BE A RECONVEYANCE OF THE PROPERTY. THAT AS I SAID IN MY
OPINION FROM ENTERING INTO ANY APPROPRIATE AREEMENT WHICH WOULD
ENABLE THEM TO PROCEED WITH THEIR CONCEPT. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER
THAT THE ASPECT OF THE VENDORS LIEN IS SUCH THAT THE STATE STATUTE
SAYS THAT NONE OF THE LAND CAN BE SOLD AND THAT THE ONLY BONDS THEY
CAN ISSUE ARE REVENUE BONDS AND REVENUE BONDS HAVE NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE LAND OR A VENDORS LIEN OR A RIGHT TO RECONVEYANCE.
9 MAY 19, 1972
• a
ALL OF THIS IS A MAT ER OF POLICY FOR YOU TO DETERMINE. UNDER THE
PRESENTATION BY MR, LHAPMAN, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR DECISION,
MAYOR KENNEDY: ARE YOU SAYING THAT IF THE INTERAMA AUTHORXXX WOULD
0E1/2 MILLION THATCERTAIN NT WEOF LAND LEGALLYASIDE C ULDFOR US TO ENTER INTOHE SUCHNE ANOF ..MMTHE
AGREEMENT(
MR. ROTHSTEIN: I AM SAYING THAT YOU CAN ALTER THE CITY'S POSITION
IF YOU ARE SATISFIED THAT THE CITY WILL BE PROTECTED.
MAYOR KENNEDY: MR. REESE, ON THE HISTORY OF THIS, DO YOU HAVE ANY
SUGGESTION,
MR. REESE: MR. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION, I WOULD LIKE IT
0 BE WELL UNDERSTOOD THAT MEL EESE AS CITY MANAGER IS IN FAVOR OF
INTERAMA AND ALSO V RY MUCH IN FAVOR OF THE THIRD CENTURY PROGRAM.
THINK THE GRAVES MY
IS THE MOST PRACTICAL LOCATION IN OUTH
LORIDA TO HAVE THIS FACILITY. DEVELOPED AND LOCATED ON FOR A FUTURE
CENERATION. I ALSO WOUL LIKE THE RECORD TO SHOW THAT THIS CITY
OMMISSION AND PREVIOUS CITY COMMISSION S HAVE COOPERATED, HAVE BEEN
GENEROI S, WITH ANY PROPOSAL THAT WAS PRESENTED TO THE COMMISSION
SINCE HAuE BEEN MANAGER THAT WOULD REFLECT A POSSIBILITY OF THE
rROWTH OF 1NTERAMA.
COF ITY OF MIAMI. AFTERIS IS fiOT SUPPOEDBY MEETMEJNGSIWITH THEISPkIED KOUSEBLOMHANY, ANDSTHEIRHE
REPRESENTATIVE, ALSO WITH IIR. ARONOVITZ, AND MR. bISSENDANNER AS
WELL AS A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE, IT APPEARED THAT THE PROPOSED
DOCUMENT THAT THE CITY IS TO EXECUTE WOULD RAISE A NUMBER OF
QUESTIONS THAT WERE NOT READILY SOLVABLE S FAR AS THE CITY WOULD
BE IN A POSITION TO OFFER THE SOLUTION. �URING ONE OF THE DISCUSSIONS
IT WAS POINTED OUT THAT MAYBE THE PRACTICAL APPROACH WOULD BE TO
QUIT CLAIM, TO APPLY A QUIT LAIM DEED TO CERTAIN PIECES OF LAND
THAT WOULD BE DEEDED TO THE CITY OF MIAMI WITIO A DEFINITE UNDER-
STANDING THAT IF AND WHEN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERAMA GOT TO THE
STAGE WHERE THEY NEEDED THIS LAND, THAT THE CITY WOULD THEN BE IN
A POSITION TO MAKE IT AVAILA§LE UPON PAYMENT OF DEBT. I HAVE TAKEN
THE INTERIM PLAN THAT KOUSE COMPANY HAS PREPARED THAT IS REFERRED TO
IN ONE OF THE DOCUMENTS, THE ACTION PLAN, AND AFTER REVIEWING THEIR
LTUDIES AND SO ON, 1 FEEL THAT I COULD MAKE A SUGGESTION TO THE
OMMISSION THAT THERE IS A TRACT OF LAND THAT WE CAN HOW YOU ON THE
MAP AND IT IS ALSO IDENTIFIED IN THE TEXT AS TRACT X . IT IS NOT
ONTEMPLATED TO BE DEVELOPED IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE.
HIS IN NO WAY WOULD RESTRICT OR HAMpER THE DEVELOPMENT ACCORDING -
IT IS A TRACT OF LAND THAT IS ON U. . 1.
THEN ME OTHER IUGGESTION IN ADDITION TO THIS I PROPOSE THAT THEY
DEED N AND L WHICH IF WE CAN APPLY THE SCALE THAT IS USEDAT
THE TOP OF TN „MAP IN THIS BOOK, IT REPRESENTS APPROXIMATELY 4A0
ACRES. Now N AND L WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE DEVELOPED SOONER
BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF ACTIVITY THAT IS PROPOSED THERE BUT IT WOULD
BRING ABOUT AN ACTION THAT THEN INTERAMA WOULD BE IN A POSITION TO
RAY THE CITY FOR THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THAT PIECE OF LAND•'WHICH n
WOULD HAPPEN AT AN EARLIER DATE THAN ANY ANTICIPATED USE OF TRACT X" .
NOW THIS IS NOT ORIGIN% BY ANYBODY S SUGGESTION OR ANYTHING, THIS
IS THE §AM A TION THE STATE LEGISLATURE TOOK IN THE ALLOCATION OF
t..AtND. IN 196u, THE CITY COMMISSION TOOK THE ACTION TO SET ASID
4UU A RES A POTENTIAL UNIVERSITY TQ BE OCATED AT IN ERAMA SITE.
WHEN DILL FORNTAFF APPEARED BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION. IHIS WA§ THE
ORIGINAL ACTION. (HERE WAS VERY EARLY NEGOTIATIONS WITH NORTH MIAMI
AS FAR AS THE SITE THAT NORTH MIAMI WOULD LIKE TO USE AS FAR AS
BORROWING S WER BONDS, THAT THEY WANTED SOMETHING TO BE MADE AVAILABLE
FOR THAT. THE COUNTY AT ALL TIMES, TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE HAS
BEEN COMPENSATED BY ROT AND OTHER MEANS FOR THE LAND FOR THEIR
CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARD 1NTERAMA BUT THEY WERE GIVEN A SITE OF LAND
ALONG A RIVER BASIN TO PRESERVE IT FOR A NATURAL PARK. THESE ARE
ALL ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE OTATE LEGISLATURE QN THE ALLOCATION OF
LAND AND TH� ALLOCATION THAT THEY GAVE THE CITY WAS A LIEN ON THE
PROPERTY. FEEL THAT IN GOOD FAITH A4D BEING CONSISTENT WITH THE
LEGISLATIVE ACT, THERE SHOUIJD BE LAND THAT WOULD BE ALLOCATED TO
THE CITY TO ASSURE THE CITY S INTEREST IS TAKEN CARE OF AND THEN
WHEN FUTURE NEEDED, AS DEVELOPS FOR THIS LAND, THAT IT BE MADE
AVAILABLE FOR THE INTERAMA DEVELOPMENT.
10 MAY 19, 1972
THIS IS A SUGGESTION I MADE TO THE COMMISSION AND I WANT TO
APOLOGIZE FOR GETTING IT TO YOU SO LATE LAST EVENING BUT MY
TIME WAS SPOT IN OTHER PLACES WHERE HAD TO Eh n n n n
AM SORRJ WAHTnTO STAND CORRECTED, I MEANT 'X , K AND J .
GATHER 'J & K WILL BE DEVELOPED TOGETHER AND THEY WOULD BE
THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT.
MR. PLUMMER: MR. REESE, WHAT �IS THE APPROXIMATE VALUE OF THOSE
THREE PARCELS?
MR. REESE: I HAVE NO WAY TO KNOW AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO SPECULATE
BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE QQ ET THEM APPRAISED BUT I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT
THAT THEY ARE, AT THE 1959, THE VALUE THAT WAS PUT ON THE LAND WOULD
REPRESENT H 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS TODAY.
REV, GIBSON: MAY I ASK, BASED ON THE CITY MANAGER'S SUGGESTION AND
RECOMMENDATION, HOW DOES THIS FIT IN WITH WHAT YOU ARE ASKING US TO
DO.
MR. GISSENDANNER: WELL IHIS I§ THE FIRST TIME,I HAVE HEARD- WE
ARE CONFERRING WITH THg J.
MANY ON IT. I THINK FOR THE RECORD
WE CAN POINT 0 Tz THAT AND N ARE THE SITES FOR MARINA & HOTEL
PPRQX��MATELY 2U ACRES THERE WITH WATER UNDERNEATHA L.AGOON.
THE x SIDE IS ALL THE COMMERCI44L FRONTAGE ALONG U. S. 1 AND
NC UDES SOME LAIRn& ZONED, THE 13ESSEMER PROPERIIES LOCATED AT THE
. E. CORNER OF A OR ADJACENT THERETO, ABOUT 3U ACRES, AN OUTPIECE
THAT WE HAVE NEVER ACQUIRED. N9W, I, YOU KNOW WE HAVE SOME VERY
EXPENSIVE CONSULTANTS AND CAN T STAND HERE WITHOUT, AND SPEAK FOR
THE AUTHORITY WITHOUT A MEETING ON THIS TO SAY THAT WE COULD AGREE
TO THIS. 1 WOULD HAVE TO DEFER THAT TO FUTURE NEGOTIATIONS.
1 MIGHT PIR1F OUT AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ITS BEEN MADE PUBLIC,
THAT THE K ITE, WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL AND YOU AGREED TO RELEASE
YOUR LIEN TO �ADE COUNTY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A WASTh WAIER TREATMENT
PLANT, HAS BEEN PRETTY WELL RULED OUT BY THE TRUSTEES, MR.LOUPLEBERG
WHO MADE A STUDY OF THE RIVER AND MANGROVES IN 'HOT AREA AND SAID WE
WOULD HAVE TO DESTROY THE RED MANGROVES ON THE 'I' SITE AND THEY DO
NOT WANT TO APPROVE TH1T TO BE UISED FOR THAT PURPOSE. THE COUNTY
THEN HAD THEM LOOK AT " AND "W' SITE FOR WASTE WATER.TREATMENT
FACILITY AND IN THAT SITE ALSO THERE ARE EXTENSIVE ECOLOGICAL
PROBLEMS, PRIMARILY WITH MANGROVES, SO THE COUNTY HOS BEEN LOOKING
AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER WHICH INCLUDES PART OF THE 'X" TRACT BECAUSE
THAT LAND IS HIGHER AND IS NOT UNDER WATER AND NOT IN MANGROVE AND
HAS AN ELEVATION SUFFICIENTLY HIGH THAT THE TRUSTEES WOULD APPROVE IT,
TO BE FILLED SO THEE ARE SOME PROBLEMS THAT MUST BE WORKED OUT AND
COORDINATED BEFORE COULD GIVE YOU AN OK THIS MORNING.
MAYOR KENNEDY: ELTON, LET ME ASK YOU THIS. YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE
US THE FIRST VENDORS LIEN ON APPROXIMATELY 13 MILLION DOLLAR WORTH
OF TRADE LAND. WHERE EXACTLY DID YOU FIGURE THAT LAND TO BE?
MR. GISSENDANNER: I WOULD HAVE TO DEFER THAT, THE ROUSE COMPANY yAS
MAD A STUDY, YOU MIGHT RECALL IN YOUR RESOLUTION, IT SAYS THAT, 1
ON T HAVE IT -
LET ME TURN TO THE POINT IN THE R SOLUTION THAT SPEAKS TO THE IEN
ON THE LAND. IT DQESN T DO WHAT MR. REESE IS TALKING ABOUT. IN
OTHER WORDS, WHAT MR. REESE IS TALKING ABOUT IS AN AMENDMENT TO THIS
RESOLUTION. 1F WE SPEAK TO THIS POINT IN ITEM 0 OF THE PROPOSED
RESOLUTION, AND TH RE �jE SAY THAT, 1 KNOW ITS NOT ANSWERING YOUR
QUESTION DIRECTLY FIR. MAYOR BUT 1 THINKWE OUGHT TO COVER IT, IT IS
CONTINGENT.UPON VALIDATION OF THE INITIAL PRIVATE FINAN ING, THAT
MEANS THE 1L MILLION DOLLARS BACKED UP BY THE COUNTY. THE AUTHORITY
MAY DEVELOP OR LEASE FOR DEVELOPMENT, ANY PARCEL CONSTITUTING A PART
OF THE CENTER SIT DESIGNATED IN RED 4ND WHIT ON THE PLAT IN A
BOOKLET ENTITLED ACTION t'ROGRAM FOR 1NTERAMA . IF NE ESSARY FOR
DEVELOPMENT AND LEASE OF ANY SUCH PARCEL, OR PARCELS, MIAMI SHALL
SUBORDINATE OR RELEASE THE VENDORS LIEN WITH RESPECT THERETO UPON
REQUEST BY THE AUTHORITY PROVIDED THAT MIAMI SHALL HAVE AT ALL TIMES,
9UR1TY FOR THE UNPAID BALANCE OF THE VENDORS LIEN IN THE FORM OF:
ANNUAL NET OPERATING RVENUES OF THE AUTHORITY SUBJECT TO THE
VENDORS LIEN AT LEAST . MILLION DOLLARS WHICH IS TWO TIMES THE
9NNUAL DEBT SERVICE AS PROPOSED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR
AUTHORITY OWNED PROP RTY SUBJECT TO THE VENDORS LIEN AND APPRAISED
EQUAL VALUE 100%, 15UA OF SUCH --
11 MAY 19, 1972
•
NOW WHAT THIS ITEM DOES IS, ALL THESE AREAS IN RED, W HAVE ASKED
OU TO COMPLETELY TO SUBORDINATE SO WE CAN BUILD THE BARD N OF THE
SUN AND THE LOWER OF THE SUN AND THE PARKING THERE TOO, HE REST
OF THE CENTER SITE, THE WHITE AREAS, THE AREAS THAT ITEM SPEAKS
TO, IS THAT NO CORRECT MR. SO ANY DEVELOPMENT OBVIOUSLY
ON THE CENTER SITE IS, THE THIRD CENTURY, TO USE AS A NON -SPECIFIED
AREA THAT MIGHT BE USED FOR SPECIFIC BICENTENNIAL PROJECTS, SO
ANYTHING IN THE CENTER SITE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO THIS PROVISION, NOW
WHEN WE GET OFF THE CENTER SITE, AND INCIDENTALLY THE CENTER SITE IS
THE MOST VALUABLE, IT HAS WATER ANp SEWER AND FI L, WHEN YOU GET OFF
FHE CENTER SITE, YOU RUN INTO THE LITY OF NORTH MIAMI, YOU RUN INTO
.I.U., YOU RUN INTO THE PROBLEMSX E9OI6OGICAL DESTRUCTION OF
MANGROVES. WE COULD PERHAPS THE U , W , SIDE WHICH IS PRETTY
VALUABLE, MIGHT BE��C�NSIDERED HERE, AS TO - 1 JUST WANTED TO FILL
YOU IN ABOUT SITE A , WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL, NOW ITS TRUE THAT
SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ALONG THE BOULEVARD COULD NOT BE
USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE,
MAYOR KENNEDY: WE'VE COME TOGETHER TODAY TO DISCUSS SOME LAND THAT
WE WILL BE GIVEN FIRST LIEN ON, YOU ARE ASKING US TO DO CERTAIN
THINGS TODAY, NOW CERTAINL YOU HAVE A RECOMMENDATION OF WHAT LAND
THAT IS GOING TO BE WORTH 13 MILLION DOLLARS, THAT WE ARE GOING TO
HAVE, I THINK THATS A REASONABLE QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED
AT THIS TIME.
MR. G;SSENDANNER: I WILL HAVE TO DEFER THAT TO THE ROUSE COMPANY,
I CAN T ANSWER THAT.
MR. CHAPMAN: MR. MAYOR, I WANDER IF I MIGHT SUGGEST THIS AS A
COMPROMISE IN PROCEEDINGS. LERTAINLY THE CITY IS ENTITLED TO THE
PROTECTION OF ONE AND HALF TIMES THE OBLIGATION AND WE IN THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY, THE CHAMBER AND THE THIRD CENTURY AND EVERYONE
ELSE RECOGNIZES THg IMPORTANCE OF THAT. I DON T THINK IT IS THE
INTENTION OF THIS LOMMISSION TO PUT THE CITY GOVERNMENT IN THE
BUSINESS OF DEVELOPING A PART OF THE INTERAMA PROJECT. THINK
YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PROTECTING YOUR LAijD. THERE IS A PLAN FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS TOTAL PROJECT. 1 WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST
AS A COMPROMISE THAT WE ADOPT THE RESOLUTION THAT IS BEFORE YOU
IN PRINCIPLE AND LET THE INTERAMA AUTHORITY COME BACK TO YOU AT YOUR
NEXT MEETING WITH A SPECIFIC PIECE OF LAND THAT THEY WOULD PROPOSE
THAT WOULD EST ACCOMPLISH THE OBJECTIVE OF THE CITY, WHICH IS
SECURITY. T DON'T THINK THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS GOING TO URGE
THIS COMMISSION TO GET THE CITY OF MIAMI IN THE DEVELOPING BUSINESS
TO WHERE YOU WANT TO ) AKE A PIECE THAT IS GOING TO COME ALONG FOR
DEVELOPMENT IN 4 OR YEARS, YOU WANT SECURITY FOR YOUR OBLIGATION
AND YOU WANT TO BE PAID YOUR MONEY BUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
PROJECT SHOULD BE IN THE HANDS OF THg INTERAMA AUTHORITY AND THE
PEOPLE THAT THEY HIRE TO DO THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST AS A
COMPROMISE THAT WE ADOPT IN PRINCIPLE THE RESOLUTION THIS IS BEFORE
YOU AND ALLOW THE INTERAMA AUTHORITY TO COME BACK BEFORE YOU AT
.La7U%NCOVERAGEEXT IWILLNG IAMPLYTH A SPROTECT THEPECIFIC CLIEN OFLAND
THEHCITYT FHMIAMI, E RATE OF
MAYOR KENNEDY: I AGREE WITH YOU, I WOULD EVEN, AS ONE OF THE
COMMISSIONERS HERE WOULD AGREE TO GO ALONG WITH RELEASE CLAUSES
THAT AS SOON AS PART OF THAT L;EN WAS PAID, THAT WE WOULD GIVE
RELEASE CLAUSES BECAUSE WE DON T WANT TO BE IN THE POSITION OF
BEING A DEV LOPERON THIS, WE HAVE MERE WANT TO BE A SECURED ENDOR,
Now IF THE 1NTERAMA UTHORITY PAYS US 4Y MILLION DOLLARS, THEN 1 FOR
ONE WOULD BE WILLING TO BEIEA6E THAT AMOUNT OF LAND UP TO THE POINT
WHERE WE STILL HAVE OUR 115UA SECURITY DEAL ON THE UNPAID BALANCE,
WE SHOULD B ABLE TO GIVE RELEASE CLAUSES ALSO MR, KOTHSTEIN,
COULDN T WE.
MR, ROTHSTgIN: I THINK HOLOIEVER THAT THIS COMMISSION SHOULD BE
ALERTED, IN MY MEN THAT,.1 HAVE POINTE OUT THAT THERE IS SOME
TERMINOLOGY IN THE KOUSE CONTRACT WITH TNTERAMA THAT,DISTURBS
ME GREATL . 1 WOULD BE R MI�SS�'j, IN MY DUTY IF I DIDN'T POINT
IT OUT. HE LAST TIME I FOiNftD OUT SOMETHING WRONG, ON THE
INTERAMAAGREEMENT WITH SOMEBODY THAT DEALT WITH THE MERRILL-
TEV NSOORNGINAL94QNTRACRT, WHICH HAD A PROVISION THAT IF INT RAMA
DIDNT E RILL-STEVENS WOULD GET FREE, ABOUT 4U
MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF LAND AND IT WAS ON THE BASIS OF THAT,
THAT THE COMMISSION ACTED AND THAT WAS REVISED AND WHEN THAT
POSSIBILITY OF FREE LAND , 40 MILLION DOLLARS, WORTH-
12 MAY 19, 1972
IT ENDED UP IN THE NET RESULT THAT THE LAND WAS SAVED SO IN THIS
SITUATION, TECHNICALLY THE DAY THAT YOU SUBQQ DINATE 0 WORK OUT
SOMETHING, THERE IS A PROVISION IN SECTION ID OF THE KOUSE
AGREEMENT WHICH SAYS THE AUTHORITY OBLIGATION TO KOUSE THAT IS,
SECURED BY REVENUES , THE AUTHORITY AGREES THAT IT SHALL
NOT UNDERTAKE ANY ACTION WHICH WOULD IMPAIR KOUSE FROM THE COLLECTION
OF THE MONIES WHICH KOUSE MAY BE ENTITLED TO UNDER TH TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT THE DAY YOU SUBORDINATE A AY, THAT GIVES HOUSE TOTAL
CONTROL, I THINK, OVER THIS LAND AND 1 THINK A PUBLIC BODY WOULD
BE MORE APPROPRIATE, IF THAT BE ELIMINATED BECAUSE ONCE YQU DO
WHAT YOU CAN DO AND WHAT WOUt,D BE APPROPRIATE TO PROTECT INTERAMA,
THERE IS NO CHECK ON THAT. I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THE
INTERAMA AUTHORITY OUGHT TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT BECAUSE WITH ALL
WE HAVE IN MIND TO HELP THEM, THERE;S A VETO THERE BY A PRIVATE
MANAGEMENT CONCERN,
MR. REESE: MR, MAYOR, MR,CHAPMAN MADE A PROPOSAL OF A COMPROMISE,
IN MY PRESENTATION, I H PE 1 MARE IT VERY CLEAR THAT THIS LAND THAT
WOULD BE DEEDED TO THE LITY OF MIAMI WAS ONLY TO PROTECT ITS INTEREST
AND THAT AT NO TIME AS A POTENTIAL DEVELOPMENT UTE FOR THE CITY TO
GET IN THERE AND DEVELOP ANY LAND WHATSOEVER. IT WOULD STILL BE
RELEASED WHEN INTERAMA GOT TO THAT DEy I,OPMENT STAGE AND I WANT TO
BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION THAT SITE A MIGHT BE IDENTIFIED AS
COMMERCIAL PROPERTY BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A SITE TO BE USED FOR
PUBLIC USE AND PUBLIC USE NLY AND REALIZING THE DISCUSSION THAT
HAS GONE ON PERTAINING TO JJADE COUNTY DISPOSAL SYSTEM, UNDOUBTEDLY
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE, THAT THERE WILL BE AN EXCHANGE 9F LAND
AND 1 THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE FOR A PUBLIC USE AND 1 DON T THINK
THE OMMISSION OR ANY FUTURE COMMISSIONER S WOULD TAKE A POSITION
THAT IT WAS NOT FOR PUBLIC USE,
MR, CHAPMAN: MRI MAYOR,,I DIDN'T MEAN THAT WE WERE GOING TO SELL
IT OUT FOR PRIVATE USE, I THINK, 1 JUST MEANT IT WAS ALONG A
COMMERCIAL RIGHT OF WAY, I WOULD LIKE FOR MR, ARONOVITZ TO RESPOND
TO MR.KOTHSTEIN SINCE HE HAS RAISED A TECHNICAL POINT IN WHICH IS
HIS OPINION THAT WE SAW THIS MORNING CONCERNING THE KOUSE CONTRACT
BECAUSE T WAS NOT MY FEELING EVER, THAT THE KOUSE COMPANY HAD A
LIEN ON INTERAMA LIEN, MR, ARONOVITZ, WOULD YOU TRY TO CLEAR THAT UP?
MR, ARONOVITZ: MR. MAYOR AND MEMAERS OF THE COMMISSION, IN THE
NEGOTIATION OF THE CONTRACT WITH KOUSE, ROUSE HAD A PROVISION IN
THERE IN THE AREA WHERE MR. ROTHSTEIN HAS CITED WHICH WOULD HAVE
PROVIDED FOR A LIEN OVER THE LAND TO PROTECT TOE BENEFITS THAT
WERE TO ACCRUE TO ROUSE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, THIS WAS REMOVED IN
THE FINAL AGREEMENT THAT WAS NEGOTIATED, EXECUTED BY THE PARTIES,
Now AT THE PRESENT TIME, KOUSE HAS NO LIEN RIGHTS OVER THE LAND
AND WHILE IT HAS TO BE PAID, THE RIGHTS TO BE PAD ARE COLLATERAL
ANCILLARY BECAUSE THE ESSENTIAL OBLIGATION THAT KOUSE HAS IS TO
ADVISE THE AUTHORITY ON A PROGRAM THAT WILL LEAD TO THE COMPLETION
AND FRUITION OF THE PROJECT SO THAT KOUSE IS AFFIRMATIVELY CHARGED
UNDER THE AGREEMENT AND UNDER OTHER PROVISIONS WHICH MR. KOTHSTEIN
DID NOT CITE WITH THE VERY ESSENTIAL DUTY TO BRING IN A FEASIBLE
WORKABLE PROGRAM AND THE FINANCE FOR ONE AND THEREFORE I SUBMIT TO
XOU THAT NOTHING WOULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH THAN TO SAY THAT
KOUSE BETWEENOULD THESEHEN RIGHTSEISOME THELI
ENTY OF MIAMI, !HAT
YOU
NMSTANDING
IS
NOTWITHSTANDING THE RIGHT OF KENOF THE RUSE OVER THIS :LAND
THE T ING THAT STANDS BETWEEN KOUSE AND ITS PAYMENT IS THE FACT
THAT KOUSE HAS A DUTY TO PERFORM, AND IF IT PERFORMS THAT DUTY,
THERE WILL NECESSARILY BE ENO GH MONEY FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE,
UNDER THE ROUSE CONTRACT, SO 1 DARE SAY THAT THAT TYPE OF APPROACH
COULD LEAD TO ONLY ONE CONCLUSION, THAT COULD NOT BE A MATERIAL
SITUATION PREVENTING THE CITY FROM CHANGING THE CONDITION OF ITS
LEASE.
MR, ROTHSTEIN: MR. ARONOVITZ, I THINK YOU ARE NOT REACHING TO THE
POINT, THE POINT IS VERY CLEAR, THAT OUR PROCEEDING IN THIS VIEN
IS FOR THE PUREOSE OF DEVELOPING AN APPROACH SO THAT A PUBLIC BODY
CAN PROCEED. HAT PORTION OF YOUR AGREEMENT ILLOWA THEM IN EFFECT
TO VETO ANYTHING THAT A PUBLIC BODY WANTS TO DO. NOW I HAVE BROUGHT
IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE OMMISSIONERS AND FROM THERE ON IN, ITS
UP TO THEM.
13
MAY 19, 1972
•
MR. ARONOVITZ: I CAN ONLY DIFFER WITH YOU AO SAY THAT YOU CAN FIND
NO WORDS IN ANY INSTRUMENT THAT WOULD ALLOW KOUSE TO VETO THE PROGRAM
OF THE INTERAMA AUTHORITY.
MR. ROTHSTEIN: I DON'T WANT TO BELABOR THE POINT, BUT IT SAYS THE
RUTHORITY AGREES IT SHALL NOT UNDERTAKE ANY ACTION WHICH WOULD IMPAIR
OUSE FROM THE COLLECTION OF THEIR MONEY,
MR. ARONOVITZ, ES, ROUSE OAS A RIGHT TO BE ,AID IF THEY PERFORM,
THATS JUST WHAT 1 SAID,MR. KOTHSTEIN, THE §AME AS YOU DO IF YOU
PERFORM, AND I DO, IF I P RFORM BUT, WHAT 1 AM SAYING TO YOU IS AND
WHAT 1 AM SAYING TO THIS LOMMISS:O?4 IS TIAT NOTHING IN THAT LANGUAGE
RSTABLISHES A LIEN OVER THE LAND OF THE 1NTERAMA AUTHORITY AND THAT
OUSE IF IT PERFORMS MUST NECESSARILY IN ITS OWN PROJECTION HAVE SET
UP A PROGRAM THAT IS SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW AND PROVIDE FOR THE PAYMENT
TO THE ROUSE UOMPANY.
MR. ROTHSTEIN: MR. ARONOVITZ, WITHOUT BELABORING THE POINT AGAIN,
I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND WE WENT THROUGH TWO YEARS OF HEAVY
LITIGATION TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE WOULD HAVE THE LEGISLATURE
AND ALL PARTIES AGREE THAT THE LAND IN NO CIRCUMSTANCES COULD BE
SOLD FOR PRIVATE USE AND THEREFORE, MY POINT IS, NOT BEING SO THAT
THE LAND IS SUBJECT TO A LIEN BUT THE PROBLEM OF CONTROL OVER THE
LAND AND CONTROL OVER THE PROJECT, THATS ALL 1 AM SAYING,
MAYOR KENNEDY: LET ME ASK YOU THIS AL, GIVE US HOW THE PRIORITY
OF LIENS WOULD BE IF WE SUBROGATE.
MR. ARONOVITZ: WELL ACTUALLY THERE IS A PROGRAM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
TOT WILL LEAD TO, IF IT IS ULTIMATELY IMPLEMENTED, WILL LEAD TO
1/8 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF LIENS OVER THE PROPERTY,
MAYOR KENNEDY: THAT WILL BE IN THE FORM OF REVENUE BONDS.
MR. ARONOVITZ: YES, THAT WILL BE IN THE FORM OF REVENUE BONDS.
MAYOR KENNEDY: SO, THAT WOULD HAVE NUMBER ONE PREFERENCE,
MR. ARONOVITZ: THAT WILL HAVE PREFERENCE, YES, THAT WILL HAVE
PRIORITY.
MAYOR KENNEDY: THAT WILL HAVE PRIORITY OVER ROUSE, ROUSE'S PAYMENTS?
MR. ARONOVITZ: YES, THAT WILL HAVE PRIORITY OVER ROUSE'S PAYMENTS,
MAYOR KENNEDY: AND THEN, WHAT WOULD HAVE NEXT PRIORITY?
MR. ARONOVITZ: WELL, BEFORE ROUSE CAN BE PAID, YOU MUST REMEMBER
THAT WHAT WE ARE ASKING 1 TO DO UNDER THIS RESOLUTION REQUIRES
THE RELEASE ONLY CONDITIONED UPON TWO THINGS EITHER OBTAIN SO MUCH
REVENUE OR ALLOW YOU TQ PASS A CONTINUING LIEN OVER SO MUCH OF THE
PROPERTY THAT TOTALS 170 TIMES THE PERCENT OF THE AMOUNT OF THE
XISTING LIEN. JO THAT ROUSE WILL NEVER HAVE PRIORITY OVER THE
LITY OF MIAMI,
MAYOR KENNEDY: WELL, NOT OVER THE CITY'S PORTION OF THE ONE AND
A HALF TIMES THE VALUE OWED TO US BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, NOW
MR. KOTHSTEIN BRINGS UP A VALID POINT. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE REST
OF THE LAND THAT WE ARE GIVING RELEASES ON . WE UNDERSTAND THE
COMPLICATED FINANCING PROCEDURES THAT THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO
PLEDGE THAT LAND. HE HAS GIVEN US AN OPINION THAT HE CONSIDERS
THAT TOTALLY ILLEGAL AND THAT THEY CANNOT PLEDGE THAT LAND FOR
REVENUE BONDS, AGAINST THE PART -
MR. ARONOVITZ: OF COURSE, THAT OPINION WILL BE.ABSOLVED ONCE THE
COURT VALIDATES THE BONDS OR IF THE COURT DOESN'T VALIDATE THE
BONDS, HIS OPINION WILL BE UPHELD BUT NATURALLY IT IS ALL CONDITIONED
UPON AN APPROPRIATE COURTS VALIDATION OF THE BONDS.
14
MAY 19, 1972
•
•
MAYOR KENNEDY: YES, BUT THE POINT HE IS MAKING, IS SUPPOSE THAT
IT IS A FAILURE, WE ARE ALL HOPING THAT IT ISN'T BUT OF COURSE,
WE ARE OBLIGATED TO THINK OF THE WORSTA IS IT A POSSIBILITY THAT
IN LIEU OF PAYMENTS OWED TO THE ROUSE LOMPANY, THAT ANY PORTION
OF THAT LAND WHICH IS NOW PUBLICALLY CONTROLLED COULD BE SOLD OFF
TO PRIVATE DEVELOPERS TO PAY OFF INDEBTEDNESS.
MR. ARNONVITZ: NONE WHATSOEVER,
MAYOR KENNEDY: NONE WHATSOEVER, AND YOU CAN UNEQUIVOcABLY SAY THAT?
R. bIBLEY1 MAYBEITS UNFAIR TO ASK YOU THIS BECAUSE I KNOW XxOU WERE
rT LISTENING. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU AGREED WITH THAT-(
THINK THE PROPOSITION THAT MR. ROTHSTEIN RAISED AND WHICH MR.
OOOVITZ DISAGREES WITH AND WHAT WE ARE CONCERNED WITH AND I
THINK ITS
REALLY THE
ISWHATHAPPENSIFTHE AINTERAMA �CONCERNED
yDHTHIS.
R JECTDOESNTWORKOUT?
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE REVENUE BOND HOLDERS WOULD HAVE FIRST PREFERENCE
ON THE LAND, WOULD IT EVER BE POSSIBLE -
MR. ROTHSTEIN: No SIR, MR, MAYOR-, THATS THE POINT I MADE. UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE STATE STATUTE, AS I READ THE STATE STATUTE
CAN THE REVENUE BOND HOLDERS HAVE ANY RIGHTS TO THE LAND. IHEREF9RE,
HAVE SAID, THERE IS NO POINT TO WAIVING THE LIEN BECAUSE IT CAN T
BE USED FOR THE BONDS ANYWAY AND I ALSO SAID, YOU CAN SUBORDINACE BUT
THE PROBLEM IS ON THE INCOME SITUATION, THATS MY QUESTION. IS THERE
A POSSIBILITY THAT ON ANY INCOME THERE WILL BE A SITUATION, WHERE
OTHER PEOPLEA SUCH ASROUSE) SUCH AS OPERATIONAL, WILL BE AHEAD OF
THE LITY OF MIAMI, THATS THE REAL QUESTION.
MR, SI LEY: I AM NOT PREPARED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION BUT T SEEMS
TO ME MR, MAYOR, THAT UNDER THE PROPOSAL MADE BY THE CITY MANAGER,
THAT THE CITY TAKE SPECIFIED LAND, NOT NECESSARILY NEEDED FOR
DEVELOPMENT AT THE PRESENT TIME, AND TO HOLD THAT UNTIL IT IS NEEDED
AND THEN TAKE THE H MILLION 7 WHEN THEY COME TO GET IT FOR DEVELOPMENT.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT IS A FAIR PROPOSAL THAT HAS BEEN MAPE AND IT
ELIMINATES ANY QUESTION ABOUT REVENUES OR ANYTHING ELSE. IHAT PUTS
THE CITY IN A SITUATION WHERE IT OWNS ITS LAND AND WH N ITS NEERED AS
IT SURELY WI L BE,NEEDED, THEY COME AID THEY PAY THE 8 5 MILLION AT
THAT TIME. I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT CAN T BE WORKED OUT AND WHY INTERAMA
CAN'T DESIGNATE PROPERTY FOR THE PROPER APPRAISAL SHOWING THAT IT HAS
ONE AND A HALF TIMES THE VALUE AND MR. MAYOR, YOU ARE ON THAT AUTHORITY
YOU CAN CERTAINLY DETERMINE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE TO YOUR OWN
CITY, A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF PROPERTY NOT NEEDED FOR DEVELOPMENT NOW,
WHICH WOULD SECURE THE CITY. IN MY JUDGMENT, THAT IS THE APPROPRIATE
WAY, I CAN T SPEAK FOR ANYBODY ELSE, BUT 1 CAN SPEAK FOR MYSELF.
MRS. MR. MAYOR, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS BECAUSE OF
THE THINGS GORDON;I HAVE HEARD HERE THIS MORNING. 1 JUST WANT TO SUMMARIZE
WHAT I HAVE HEARD TO SEE IF I HAVE GOTTEN EVERYTHING STRAIGHT. As
UNDERSTAND IT, WE ARE BEING ASKED TO SUBORDINATE THE LANDS THAT ARE
GOING TO BE CONSIDERED FOR DEVELOPMENT AT THE PRESENT TIME, ARE WE
ALSO BEING ASKED TO RELEASE IT, COMPLETELY FROM THE LIEN,
MR. ROTHSTEIN, IS IT SUBORDINATION OF THE LAND THAT IS SCHEDULED FOR
DEVELOPMENT OR RELEASE OF THE LAND?
MR. ROTHSTEIN: As I GATHER THE INTENT OF THE PROPOSAL, WHICH IS
THAT VALUE OF ONE AND A HALF TIMES THE EIGHT MILLION IN LAND DEED,
LESS THE SECURITY THAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR THE RELEASE OF THE LIEN
ON ALL OTHER PROPERTIES AT INTERAMA. MR. REESE'S SUGGESTIOtN AS AN
ALTERNATIVE TO THAT IS THAT CERTAIN LANDS BE pEEDED TO THE CITY AND
THAT OTHER LANDS HAVE THE RELEASc PROVIDED. IHE REAL PROBLEM HERE
IS NOT THE SUCCESS OF INTERAMA, I DO FEEL STRONGLY THAT INTERAMA IS
SOMETHING WE NEED, IF ITS SUCCESSFUL, THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEM
BECAUSE OUR EIGHT AND A HALF MILLION WILL BE PAID, WE WILL HAVE NO
MORE LIEN ANfl NO MORE INTEREST OTHER THAN OUR REPRESENTATIVES ON
THE BOARD. HE PROBLEM IS WHAT HAPPENS, IF THE SAME THING AS
PREVIOUSLY AND IF IT DOESN'T GET OFF THE GROUND AND THAT IS REALLY
WHAT AS THE MAYOR SAID, WE HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WITH,
TRs. GORDON: ALLRIGHT, I HAVEN'T FINISHED IN SUMMARIZING AGAIN.
F WE TOOK THE APPROACH THAT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED BY MR, KEESE, IT
IS THAT THE CITY SHALL TAKE TITLE TO A PORTION OF LAND EQUAL TO
THE AMOUNT OF ThIS LIEN, BUT IN THAT CASE-
15 MAY 19, 1972
R. ROTHSTEIN: I DON'T THINK THE MANAGER SAID THAT MAAM.
RS, GORDON: WE L THATS WHAT I-
R. ROTHSTEIN: I THINK HE SAID QUIT CLAIM DEED TO CERTAIN PARCELS
NOT BASED ON PRESENT VALUATION,SO WHAT THE MANAGER IS SAYING IS,
THAT PRESENTLY IF THINGS GO BAD, THE CITY HAS A RIGHT TO THE
RECONVEYANCE OF THE ENTIRE PARCEL UNDER THE STATE STATUTES, UNDER
THE STATE STATUTES, NO ONE CAN SELL OFF THE LAND UNDER THE STATE
STATUTES, THEY CAN ONLY BE REVENUE BONDS SO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
BUYING REVENUE BONDS WILL RELY SOLELY UNflER THE STATUTES, ON THE
PROJECT ITSELF. J0 THEREFORE, WHAT THMANAGER IS SAYING IS RIGHT
NOW IN ORDER TO ACCOMODATE DESIRES OF INTERAMA, THAT THEY FEEL THAT
THEY MUST HAVE LAND FREE AND CLEAR, DESPITE WHAT SAYS, HE
SAYS LETS HAVE CERTAIN LAND PARCELS BE DEEDED NOW.
MRS. GORDON: DEEDED DID YOU SAY?
MR. ROTHSTEIN: WELL' QUIT CLAIM DEEDED NO AND THEN IF SOMETHING
HAPPENS AND THEY CAN T PAY OFF THE AND 1/2 M LLION DOLLARS, THEN
THERE IS NO QUESTION OF RECONVEYANCE OR NOT. IHE UN-LIENED LAND,
THE LAND WE HAVE RELEASED FROM THE LIEN WILL BE DONE WITH WHATEVER
HAPPENS IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE. HERE WILL BE A LOT OF LITIGATION IF
IT GOES BAD. UT THE ITY WONT HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT LITIGATION
BECAUSE THE CITY WILL OWN CERTAIN AREAS AND THE MANAGER DOES NOT
RELATE IT TO PRESENT APPRAISAL VALUE.
MRS. GORDON: MR. ROTHSTEIN, YOU JUST SAID, THE CITY WILL OWN,
OK, THAT$ WHAT I SAID, THE CITY WILL OWN AND THE CITY WILL HAVE
TITLE, ARE YOU SAYING THAT, OR AREN'T YOU SAYING THAT.
MR, ROTHSTEIN: WHAT I WAS SAYING IS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT OWNED
AS OF THE PRESENT APPRAISAL OF ONE AND A HALF TIMES, THAT IS NOT
WHAT HE HAS SAID, HE SAID CERTAIN AREAS AND CERTAIN TRACTS BASED
ON AN APPRAISAL AT THE ORIGINAL TIME IT WAS PURCHASED.
MRS. GORDON: IN OTHER WORDS, WE WILL THEN ACQUIRE OWNERSHIP TO A
PORTION. I AM NOT DETERMINING TH AMOUNT AT THIS MOMENT,,1 JUST
WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT, HIS IS WHAT THE MANAG R S CONCEPT
IS, ALLRIGHT. NOW, THE 1NTERAMA UTHORITIES OR RATHER MR. SIBLEY
SAID THAT WE COULD OR HE COULD LIVE WITH THAT CONCEPT.
MR. GISSENDANNER: I THINK THAT THERE HAS BEEN CONFUSION HERE, WE
ARE TALKING ABOUT A DOCUMENT, LETS GO BACK TO THE DOCUMENT TQ CLEARLY
SHOW WHAT WE ARE ASKING,YOU TO DO UNDER THIS DOCUMENT. MR. SIBLEY
HAS PROPOSED IF YOU DON T WANT TO DO THIS THEN WE WILL GIVE YOU FIRST
LIEN ON A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF LAND AND HAVE YOU RELEASE ALL LIENS
ON ALL THE REST OF THE LAND, WELL, LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT WE ARE
ASKING YOU TO DO UNDER THIS DOCUMENT. IF YOU WILL TURN TO ITEM 3,
WHERE IT SAXYS CONTINGENT UPON VALIDATION OF PRIVATE FINANCING, NOW
THATS THE 11 MILLION DOLLARS THAT THE COUNTY PROPOSES TO BACK UP.
MIAMI WILL AGREE TO AIM WST�� TC 1. S LIEN WE��WJL AGREE TO GIVE MIAMI

XOU HAVE TO DO IS TO AGREE THAT IF WE HAVE A FAILURE THAT THE

WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP,A LIEN ON THAT. NOW THATS WHAT WE ARE ASKING
YOU TO DO. YOU DOLT EVEN HAVE TO DO THAT UNTIL WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY
VALIDATE AND SELL I2 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF BONDS. YOU HAVE TO
AGREE TO IT IF WE DO AND THE OTHER THING WE ARE AKING YOU TO DO
HERE IS THAT IF WE ARE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE IL MILLION, THEN
YOU WILL BE ASKED TO FURTHER SUBORDINATE YOUR LIEN TO A 78 MILLION

BEING ASKED TO GIVE UP ANY LIEN NOW AI THAT TIME. JECOND TO GIxE
UP THAT LIEN AND TRANSFER IT TO !JADE LOUNTY WHICH IS THE OLETA KIVER

NOT PRESSING FOR RELEASE OF THAT YET AND C TO GIVE UP THE LIEN
N THE LAND THAT THE IITY OF NORTH MIAMI GOT FOR PUTTING UP THEIR
7116��MILLION, YES NORTH MIAMI WOULD LIKE THAT RELEASED TODAY.
ANY PARCEL ACQUIRED BY DADE LOUNTY FOR SEWER SITE, YOU HAVE
ALREADY DONE THAT.
ASSUMING THAT ALL OF THIS TAKES PLACE, WHEN WE GET READY TO DEVELOP
THAT WHICH IS IN WHITE, WE ARE THEN ASKING YOU TO GIVE UP THE LIEN
ON THAT EXCEPT IN LIEU THEREOF, AT LEAST 1.L MIL ION DOLLARS IN THE

WE ARE DEALING WITH A 176 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT FOLKS, ITS NOT
SOMETHING SO SIMPLE YOU CAN TOSS OFF, SO ALL WE HAVE ASKED YOU TO

THE THE AMOUNT
OF LAND YOU WANT AND GIVE YOU FIRST LIEN ON IT AND WON'T TOUCH IT
WITHOUT YOUR APPROVAL, CHATS THE ALTERNATIVE.
MR. REESE: MR. MAYOR1 AND MEMBERS QF THE COMMISSION, AND IN
ANSWERING MRS. CORDON S QUESTION. IHE PROPOSAL THAT I MADE SIMPLIFIES
THIS A GREAT DEAL. BECAUSE THEN YOU ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT WHAT LIEN
POSITION THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BE PUT IN BECAUSE UNDOUBTEDLY ON THE
MULTIPLE METHODS OF FINANCING AND ESPECIALLY WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERN-
MENT, YOU ARE GQING TO BE IN A CONSTANT MOVEMENT TO A LOWER POSITION
ON YOUR LIEN. 1 THINK IN ALL FAIRNESS THAT IF A PIECE OELAND WAS
.MMIGNATED, TO SATISFY THE LIEN POSITION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI AS OF
1, THAT VALUE, THEN ALL THESE MEETINGS AND FI�TURE MEETINGS WILL
BE SET ASIDE BUT I WANT TO BRING THE COMMISSION S ATTENTION THAT
NOT TO BE MISLED BY A MILLION DOLLAR SURPLUS THE FIRST YEAR BECAUSE
I THINK IN ALL FAIRNESS, TO ANYBODY'S OPERATION AND I DON'T CARE
WHAT ITS GOING TO BE LIKE, ITS NOT GOING TO PRODUCE A MILLION DOLLARS
SURPLUS. tVERY DOLLAR THAT THEY ARE PRODUCING WILL HAVE TO GO BACK
INTO THAT PROJECT.
MR. FRATES: MR. MAYOR, IT SEEMS THAT WCAN RESOLVE THIS THING HERE,
WE ARE GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TOGETHER. ITS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR
THE FUTURE OF THIS CONCEPT THAT WE HAVE SOME AFFIRMATIVE ACTION FROM
THIS COMMISSION TODAY. NOW IN OUR IN ORMAL DISCUSSIONS BACK HERE, I
THINK UNDER THE MODIFICATIONS OF THE CITY MANAGER S PLAN, IF WE QUIT
CLAIM A PORTION OF THE LAND THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO NEGOTIATION
BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE AUTHORITY AND THE KOUSE WHICH WOULD GIVE YOU
ONE AND A HALF TIMES SECURITY, THAT WOULD BE SATISFACTORY, WE COULD
WORK IN THAT FRAMEWORK. CONCEIVABLY IT COULD BE THE AREAS THAT HE
hAS DESIGNATED ALTHOUGHI THINK THERE IS SOME CONCERN ABOUT THAT.

ALL KNOW, I WOULD LIKE TO REAFFIRM THIS. ALREADY IN TALLAHASSEE, WE
ARE GETTING FEEDBACK, IS DADE COUNTY UP TO ITS OLD TRICKS IN NOT
BEING ABLE TO GET TOGETHER (N A PROJECT? ITS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL
THAT THIS COMMUNITY HAVE TAIS PROJECT. TIME IS REALLY A FACTOR AND
IF WE DON'T CLEAR THIS THING UP, SOON, I MEAN WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO,
h}E HAVE A GOOD POSSIBILITY OF SEEING THE WHOLE THING GO DOWN THE DRAIN.

MAYOR KENNEDY: I THINK THAT IS AN EXCELLENT COMPROMISE,
IN OTHER WORDS BE WILLING TO GIVE QUIT CLAIM DEEDS WITH RELEASE
CLAUSES AS PAYMENT IS MADE, 1 THINK THAT IS THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
MR, REESE: MR, MAYOR, THINK THOUGH THAT THERE IS ONE THING THAT
HAS TO BE UNDERS OOD. HAT ON ANY NEGOTIATION, I WOULD LIKE TO
SUGGEST TO THIS COMMISSION THAT THEY ADOPT THE PQLIcX THAT THE VALUE
OF THE LAND HAS ALREADY BEEN DETERMINED BY THIS di1/Z MILLION DOLLAR
FIGURE AS FAR AS THE CITY IS CONCERNED BECAUSE,AT THE PRESENT TIME
THAT LAND IS WORTH A MOST ANYTHING THAT ANYONE'S IMAGINATION WANTS
TO L D THEM I AND I THINK t1 FAIRNESS WE HAVE TURNED OVER A TITLE
AN„ DU OF 17UU ACRES AT 1/L MILLION AND WE RE TALKING ABOUT
1 id
MILLION DOLLAR LAND TODAY,
MRS. GORDON: ONE MORE QUESTION MR. REESE. WITH REGARD TO THE
APPROACH THAT YOU SUGGESTED AND SINCE IN THE PROPOSAL THAT HAS BEEN
MADE TO US THERE WAS A METHOD FOR PAYYMENT, IN YOUR SUGGESTION, WHAT
IS YOUR IDEA OF EAYMENT OF THAT S 1/L MILLION DOLLARS, WAS THIS
DEFERRED PAYMENT.
MR, REESE: A DEFERRED PAYMENT THAT THEY WOULD GET THE LAND RELEASED
AS THEY MADE THE PAYMENT PROVIDING ITS USED FOR 1NTERAMA PURPOSES
OR THE THIRD CENTURY,
MRS. GORDON: WOULD THERE BE A SCALE SET UP FOR SO MUCH FOR PAYMENTS
AND A TIME FOR THE FIRST RELEASE OR NOT.
MR, REESE: MY ONLY TIME SCHEDULE WAS THAT DEVELOPMENT WOULD DICTATE
THE TIME,
MRS. GORDON: WELL MAY I MAKE ANOTHER SUGGESTION THEN? I WOULD LIKE
TO SEE INCORPORATED AND THAT IS THAT IF THERE IS NO TIME PERIOD FOR
THE FIRST RELEASE, THAT AT LEAST THAT PORTION THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
PAID TO THE CITY BY THE WAY OF INTEREV BE ADDED IN IN SOME WAY TO
THE UNPAID BALANCE SO THE CITY WOULDN T HAVE TO FOREGO THAT BENEFIT
SO THEY WOULD RECEIVE SOME INTEREST PAYMENT UNTO THEIR PROPOSAL.
MR. REESE: WELL, UNDER THEIR PROPOSAL, DON'T FORGET THEY ARE
ANTICIPATING A MILLION DOLLARS OUT OF SURPLUSvPERATION AND IF
INTERAMA IS GOING TO SUCCEED, I AM NOT GOING TO TELL THEM HOW TO
RUN IT BUT I KNOW THAT EVERY SURPLUS PENNY IS GOING TO HAVE TO GO
BACK IN THERE FOR DEVELOPMENT.
MR. FRATES: I THINK THERE IS ONE POINT THAT WE OUGHT TO STRAIGHTEN
HERE, BECAUSE I THINK ITS THE ONLY PART WE HAVE A pIFFEREICE ON NOW
AND THAT IS CURRENT VALUE VERSUS THE BACK VALUE. AGAIN, 1 DON T
UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT, IF THE CITY WANTS SECURITY, IF WE HAVE
FAITH IN THIS COMMUNITY AND WE WANT SOMETHING TO HELP THIS COMMUNITY,
CURRENT VALUE WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO ANY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, NOW TO
QO BACK, AGAIN, IS A (NEGATIVE APPROACH ON THIS WHICH WORRIES ME AND
1 AM WORRIED BECAUSE 1 FORSEE JUST AS PHILADELPHIA FELL BY THE WAYSIDE
AND JUST AS BOSTON FELL BY THE WAYSIDE, WE CONCEIVABLY CAN BE THE
ONLY CITY IN Tt3E UN;TED STATES THATS GOING TO HAVE A BI-CENTENNIAL
CELEBRATION. 1 DON T NEED TO TAKE YOyR TIME TO TELL YOU WHAT THAT
WOULD MEAN TO THIS COMMUNITY. WE DON T WANT OR NONE OF US ANT OR
WOULD WE ASK YOU TO JEOPARDIZE THE POSITION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI.
CURRENT VALUE OUGHT TO BE WHAT WE ARE DEALING WITH.
MAYOR KENNEDY: I AM GOING TO MAKE A MOTION ON CURRENT VALUE. I
AGREE WITH YOU. WHAT ELSE DO WE WANT TO PUT IN THERE AT THE PRESENT
TIME BECAUSE 1 WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THIS MOTION.
MRS. GORDON: BEFORE4 YOU DO MR. MAYOR AND I AM IN ACCORD WITH WHAT
YOU ARE GOING TO DO 1 THINK, EXCEPT THAT WHEN THE PROPERTY IS RELEASED
ITS VALUE WILL THEN BE MORE THAN IT IS TODAY BECAUSE OF CURRENT
INFLATION AS IT GOES ALONG, MAY WE THEN ANTICIPATE IF WE TAKE IT
ON THE BASIS OF CURRENT VALUE, THAT WHEN WE RELEASE IT, THAT IT BE
RELEASED ON THE BASIS OF ITS THEN CURRENT VALUE.
MAYOR KENNEDY: THATS FINE, BUT WE STILL GET 8 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS,
MRS. GORDON: No, WE WOULD BE RECEIVING MORE MR. MAYOR, BECAUSE
VALUES WILL HAVE INCREASED.
18
MAY 19, 1972
MAYOR KENNEDY: No, WE -HAVE, WE CONVEYED THIS FOR 8 1/2 MILLION
DOLLARS PLUS INTEREST AND THATS ALL WE ARE ENTITLED TO,
MRS, GORDON: BUT DID WE WAIVE THE INTEREST?
MR. ROTHSTEIN: No SIR, WE DON'T HAVE ANY INTEREST PROVISION BECAUSE
OF THE RIGHT OF RECONVEYANCE IN THERE WHICH YOU ARE ABOUT 10 AIVE,
SO WE DON T HAVE ANY PROVISION FOR INTEREST, SO ITS STILL ttSS 1/2
MILLION SIR.
MAYOR KENNEDY: ALL RIGHT, 8 1/2 MILLION.
MR. ROTHSTEIN: THATS WHAT MRS, GORDON WAS SAYING BECAUSE SHE FEELS
THAT IN THE PROe0SAL, THE INTEREST PROVISION THAT THEY PROPOSE SHOULD
BE INCLUDED IF 1 UNDERSTOOD,
MR. PLUMMER: SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT PROPERTY VALUES, NOT THE-
MRS. GORDON: EITHER OR -
MR, PLUMMER: No, No, AS THE MAYO HAS SAID MRS, GORDON, OUR LIEN
WILL NOT INCREASE NOR DECREASE. THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY US INTEREST
BUT IT IN NO WAY, IF THE PROPERTY ENHANC S IN VALUE, WILL THE CITY
LIEN BE ANY DIFFERENT, IT WILL STILL BE 5 1/2 MILLION PLUS THE
INTEREST WHICH THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY.
MR. FRATES: I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A PROPBSAL MR. MAYOR AND
IOMMISSIONERS ON THIS. 1 THINK WE HAVE SETTLED ON SOME PRINCIPLES
ON THIS AND THAT IS THAT LAND THAT AS WORTH 1L PLUS MILLION DOLLARS
WILL BE TRANSFERRED TO THE CITY OF MIAMI WITH APPROPRIATE PROVI IONS
FOR RELEASE BACK TO THE AUTHORITY UPON PAYMENT OF THE DEBT AND I
WOULD PROPOSE THAT THE AUTHQR TY AND MIAMI AGREE TO A DEBT SERVICE
SCHEDULE UNDER WHICH THE tS 1/L MILLION DOLLARS WOULD BE PAID OUT
OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS OUT OF THE OPERATIONAL INCOME FROM THE PROJECT
WITH INTEREST AND THAT AS THE PRINCIPLE IS PAID, PRORATA PORTIONS OF
THE LAND BE RELEASED BACK TO THE AUTHORITY CORRFSEONDING TO THE
PRORATA AMOUNT QF THE PRINCIPLE TO THE TOTAL 11 MILLION DOLLAR
OBLIQATION AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT AS A DEBT SERVICE SCHEDULE,
OF ZU YEARS COMMENCIN FRAM THE DATE OF OPERATION BE ADOPTED FOR
THE P AYMENT OF THAT S 1/L MILLION DOLLARS PLUS INTEREST.
MRS. GORDON: WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CONVEY AS MY
THOUGHTS BUT WHAT YOU SAID IS THAT WE WOULD NOW BE DEEDED SO TO
SPEAK, 12 1/2 MILIIQN AND I HAD THOUGHT THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
CURRENT VALUE OF tS 1/2, SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING CHANGES MY POSITION
ON TyIS INCREASE IN VALUE BECAUSE YOU ARE GIVING IT TO US IN ADVANCE
AND 1 APPRECIATE THAT,
MR. FRATES: You WOULD HAVE AT THE OUTSET, LAND WORTH 150% OF THE
AMOUNT OF THE DEBT, AND AS THE DEBT IS PAID OFF AND THE LAND INCREASES
IN VALUE, THE SECURITY IS MUCH GREATER.
MAYOR KENNEDY: WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IS PASS IN PRINCIPLE, THIS
TIME, AND THAT PROVISION ABOUT DEBT SERVICE PLUS INTEREST CAN BE
WORKED OUT AND BROUGHT BACK LATER, THATS NOT- BUT LETS COME UP
WITH A DEFINITE THING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IS PASS
RIGHT NOW WITH THE PROVISIONS ON THE QUIT CLAIM DEED, WITH RELEASE
CLAUSES, WITH DEBT SERVICE SCHEDULE PLUS INTEREST AND BASED ON THE
CURRENT VALUE OF THE LAND AND THEN THE SPECIFICS OF THIS WILL BE
WORKED OUT AND BROUGHT BACK BEFQRE THIS COMMISSION AFTER YOUR ATTORNEYS
AND YOUR CITY ATTORNEY AND THE CTY MANAGER GET WITH YOU AND WE WILL
ACT ON IT AT THE NEXT MEETING. HOPEFULLY YOU ALL WILL BE ABLE TO
WORK THOSE THINGS OUT BUT WE WILL DO IT IN PRINCIPLE RIGHT NOW.
IS THER� ANY OTHR PROVISION THAT WE WANT TO PUT IN THIS MOTION
BEFORE MAKE IT.
MR. FRATES: YES SIR, MR. MAYOR, T WOULD REQUEST ONE OTHER THING,
TO PUT IN YOUR MOTION, THATS IT IS NOT THE INTENTION OF THE CITY
TO DEVELOP THIS LAND WHILE THEY ARE HOLDING IT BUT THEY ARE HOLDING
IT ONLY FOR SECURITY PURPOSES AND SECONDARILY THAT THE WORKING OUT
OF THE SPECIFICS OF THIS CONVEYANCE OF LAND BE BROUGHT BACK TO
THIS COMMISSION AT THEIR NEXT REGULAR MEETING FOR ACTION.
19
MAY 19, 1972
MR. ROTHSTEIN: MR. MAYOR, YOU SHOULD HAVE A zESTRICTION IN THERE
DEALING WITH THE SIZE OF THE STADIUM ON THE PENISES SO AS TO
PROTECT THE ORANGE BOWL WHICH WE HAVE OUTSTANDING BONDS ON,
MAYOR KENNEDY: I DON'T BELIEVE THE ROUSE COMPANY HAS REALLY THOUGHT
OF HAVING A STADIUM IN THAT AREA BUT THE CITY WANTS THAT PROTECTION
AND YOU ALL AGREED TO THAT AND 1 WILL LET YOU WORD THAT AS THE SECOND
PROVISION OF MY MOTION SO IF EVERYTHING IS CLEAR, MY MOTION WILL BE
MADE AT THIS TIME:
1, THAT AS A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE, THIS COMMISSION GOES
QN RECORD OF WORKING OUT AN AGREEMENT WITH THE
1NTERAMA AUTHORITY WHERE WE WILL RECEIVE QUITCLAIM
DEED ON PROPERTY TO BE WORKED OUT WITHIN THE NEXT
P RIOD BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING FOR APPROXIMATELY
15 MILLION DOLLARS AND THAT THIS QUIT CLAIM DEED
WOULDHAVE RE EASE CLAUSES CONTAINED IN IT WHERE
THE INTERAMA AUTHORITY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE
PORTION OF THE LAND THAT HAS BEEN PAID BACK FOR
DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES AND THAT THERE WOULD BE A DEBT
SERVICE SCHEDULE WITH INTEREST WORKED OUT BY OUR
NEXT MEETING AND THAT THE VALUE OF THE LAND WOULD
BE BASED ON THE CURRENT VALUE ON TOD YS MARK�jT
AND THAT IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE LITY OF MIAMI
NOT TO DEVELOP THIS LAND BUT TO MERELY HOLD IT
FOR SECURITY PURPOSES AND 5 THAT THIS WILL BE
DECIDED AT OUR NEXT MEETING, DEFINITELY WITH ALL
THE SPECIFICS WORKED OUT AND THE /TH PROVISION IS
THAT THERE BE NO TADIUM BUILT AT THE INTERAMA SITE
SEATING OVER 2O,OuU,
MRS, GORDON: THE MOTION HAS :BEEN MADE;, IS THERE A SECOND?
REV. GIBSON: SECOND.
MRS, GORDON: ITS BEEN SECONDED AY COMMISSIONER GIBSON, ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE MOTION.
REV, GIBSON: I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PURLIC IS IN ACQORD WITH
THIS AND UNDERSTANDS THIS, THESE PROVISIONS, IS THAT RIGHT.
j WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH WHAT THE
MAYOR HAS SAID.
MR. FRATES: I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THE MAYOR SAYS EXCEPT THAT
BELIEVE IT WOULD BE AGREEABLE WITH THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE
AYOR TO INCLUDE IN THERE A PROVISION THAT THE INTEREST WOULD
ACCRUE TO THE LIEN BUT IT WOULD NOT HAVE TO BE ANY REQUIRED PAYMENTS
TO BE MADE IN ANY CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME.
MAYOR KENNEDY: THAT WILL HAVE TO BE WORKED OUT.
MR. FRATES: LETS BE SURE WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORKING OF THAT
OUT COULD PROVIDE THAT THERE WOULD BE NO PAYMENTS OF ANY KIND FOR
A PERIOD OF YEARS BUT THAT THE INTEREST WOULD ACCRUE TO THE LIE(
TO INCREASE THE LIEN, SO LONG AS THAT PROVISION IS UNDERSTOOD, 1
THINK WE CAN LIVE WITH IT.
MRS. GORDON: ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? IF NOT, CALL THE ROLL PLEASE.
MR. SQUTHERN:
C Y I.LERK REV ND GIBSON, YES, MRS, GORDON, YES,MR, PLUMMER,
Yt , MAYOR KENNEDY, Yt.b.
MRS. GORDON: MAY I SAY THAT I AM DELIGHTED TO HAVE BEEN A PART OF
THIS DECISION TODAY,
Whereupon the motion made by Mayor Kennedy, seconded by Reverend
Gibson was passed and adopted by the following vote - AYES: Messrs.
Plummer, Gibson, Mrs. Gordon and Mayor Kennedy., was designated
Resolution No. 72-170.

MAY 19, 1972
•
3, ORANGE BOWL RATES
Mr. W. T. Ward, Attorney representing the University of Miami
appeared concerning rates charged for the use of the Orange Bowl.
Mr. Ward: Concerning Resolution 43244 of February 17, 1972 was
in line with this same problem. The resolution authorized and
directed the City Attorney to prepare an Ordinance for submission
to the City Commission to reduce rental stadium charge from 15%
to 10% for the University of Miami, Orange Bowl Classic, Shrine
North -South Football Game and the Orange Blossom Classic provided
the above named organizations be required to furnish crowd control
and ticket personnel.
That was discussed and Mr. Jack Rice Jr., then Assistant City
Attorney said that this did not require an ordinance change, you
can pass a resolution of intent at this time and we will have to
prepare an ordinance to change the rates as set forth.
Based on that, we had conferences with Mr. Reese and the City
Personnel last year. There is no contract for any period of time
that has been signed and we have attempted to negotiate it and
due to the fiasco that took place here in the fall of the year
with overflowing of professional games, we entered into an agreement
for one year to cover the situation.
The main problem is that after this resolution was passed, the
University of Miami, the Orange Bowl, Dr. Floyd Schiff, fixed up
their deficit budget and we worked on our budget which is going to
be a deficit budget with increased costs and the university tickets
are in the process of being ordered to get going. There is something
wrong when the opinion was unanimous in the adoption of the resolution.
I am asking that you reaffirm what you did in February. We need
this protection.
Mr. Plummer: We have received the memo from the City Attorney.
Mr. Rothstein, I think this Commission was very clear in the intent
that we do something in behalf of the Orange Bowl Committee and the
University of Miami Football Team. My question then to you sir, is
there an alternative that we can accomplish the same end results?
We know the problems of the Uof M, They are one of the ones that made
this stadium and deserve consideration during these times.
You have told us that what we did in February is contrary to the
leases or the charter, is there an alternative that we can do legally
to help these people out of the bind they are in?
Mr. Rothstein: I think administratively, Mr. Reese can advise you
as to the areas of services or alternatives to give them relief on
or provide for them. We can't give them money as such and I don't
think you can violate your covenant, Mr. Bailey will be here to tell
you the impact that would have on the bond houses. The points raised
by counsel would have to be answered th Mr. Bailey and the adminis-
tration. I don't know the dollar and cents factor.
Mr. Reese: In order to answer some of Mr. Wards questions, at the
time this bond issue was put out, we had then negotiated then to
contract Miami Dolphins so the revenue from the Dolphin events that
was anticipated was reflected as an income item at the stadium for
this bond issue and in analyzing all the city accounts at the time
of this bond issue, it was obvious that based on revenue, we could
not float a bond to make the improvements in the orange bowl so it
was suggested to the Commission, that we could use Florida Power f
Light franchise money as a means of guaranteeing this anticipated
bond issue, if revenue was not adequate, then the franchise money
would be used to liquidate the bonds. Well since this bond issue
has been in effect, Florida Franchise money has been used to meet
the majority of the obligations of the bond. I still don't think
there is anything wrong with the suggestion, I still don't think
there was anything wrong with the way the money was borrowed.
The franchise money is to be used for capital improvements and that
is what it was used for in the orange bowl. When thie particular
section 502 is brought to my attention, I then raised it with the
City Attorney, wanting to know the action of the City Commission
in reducing the rent, if that could be accomplished.
21
MAY 19, 1972
O.B. #3 Cont'd
It stated, it will not reduce the rent or the lease. This is what
brings this discussion before the Commission this morning.
Mr. Ward refers to gross figures of income over there and is a
capable attorney but he didn't say anything about expenditures or
any expenditures the city has to make to keep it operating for each
and every game. We have to pay police officr $30 and $35 for a
commanding officer for working an event over there and a lot of other
expenses that are too detailed to go into but the auditors will gladly
make it available. If the City Commission is of the opinion that
there should be another source or another way to approach this
possibility, I can't do it right off the top of my head this
morning.
Mr. Plummer: I once again state Mr. Mayor, I think we were very
clear in our intent to help these two fine publicity generating
things for the City of Miami and I will make a motion Mr. Reese,
that these gentlemen sit down with you to try to find another manner
in which to come up with the same result.
Mrs. Gordon: I feel the same, I would like to see us find a possible
way that we can accomplish what we set out to do in the first place.
Mayor Kennedy: I think thats the whole intention of the commission,
we didn't realize we were going to run into this problem when it
arose, so let us attempt to resolve it some other way and maybe
by (the next meeting, Mr. Reese and Mr. Rothstein will find a way
Mr. Ward.
4, SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT STUDY
Mr. Wegman and Mr. Tele:-ca representing the two joint ventures
on this study for solid waste management study requested by the City
appeared to make formal presentation of the results of this study.
The formal report was presented to the Commission and is
incorporated as a part of these minutes by separate folder.
A slide presentation of statistics and information gathered was
shown to the Commission along with final recommendations of the
respective firms.
A discussion concerning the pros and cons of curbside coll-
ection and the use of plastic bags as a requirement was held and
it was decided to defer these matters until after the complete
presentation by the firms upon recommendation of the City Manager.
Mr. Reese: I was endeavoring to follow a pattern of previous city
commission's have expressed from time to time and that was that
Metropolitan Dade County should be the disposal agent for solid
waste material. This was approached in several different ways in
previous years that have never been a success, its never gotten off
the ground. Recognizing that we had this Solid Waste Study in a
completed stage and Metropolitan Dade County is going to have their
Solid Waste Study submitted to them in a matter of weeks, I felt it
appropriate for me to discuss one particular aspect and that was
the fundamental disposal problem. With Mr. Goode. He was of the
opinion that he could see no possibility of approaching us any
other way than the County being the disposal agent. The City would
be the pick up person and processing it for the county for the
disposal agent. I then asked to appear before the County Commission.
We discussed this before the County Commission: with the idea of
getting the County Commission on record to agree that they should
be the disposal agent, just as a general policy that the county
would assume that position. This resolution was passed, they
expressed themselves that it would be their intent to conform to
that policy. We did not cover as to the type of the actual disposal
if its to be buried, burned or anything else, but I did make a state-
ment there that I feel incineration is not compatible with 1972
anti pollution concepts.

MAY 19, 1972
SOLID WASTE Cont'd
That incinefation is failing by the wayside fairly rapidly and
that we have to recognize that there are other techniques that
have to be used. Now, that was the sole purpose of meeting over
there, that was the conclusion that was arrived at.
Mr. Plummer: Then, I understand that you have a commitment of
intent from the County that they will serve as the overall disposal
with the City and the city would be merely that of collection.
Mr. Reese: Collection and the procession of the actual disposal.
The Commission was advised that the basic recommendations
and summations appear on page SR-10 of the brochure furnished
to the Commission. These are summations of the recommendations
and primarily one recommendation was elimination of the back yard
pick up based on expense and eliminated two collectors off the
truck and reduces the accident rate. a 40% reduction in the cost
of collection could be realized by the elimination of these two
persons. Maintenance of crews was cited as the back yard method
is dirty and people no longer want to do this type of work regar-
dless of the salary paid. The elimination of back yard service
by Dade County was cited in that it had overcome the personnel
problems and now people wanted those jobs.
It was advocated that the City also establish a waste fee
rather than have this cost charged against general taxes to
accomplish this service and relieve those monies for other purposes.
Establishment of an oversize system for the bulky and oversize waste
as is done by the County.
Overage equipment in use by the city was cited and recommended
the city go to a shorter vehicle life for higher resale values and
reduce costs of maintenance of the vehicles.
Final recommendations included the Shredder -Landfill method
as being the most feasible to be installed on existing incinerator
sites and the acquisition of land on the Tamiami Trail for deposit
of such shredded materials, the acquisition of such land would
insure adequate disposal facilities to the year 2000 for the cities
of Miami and Miami Beach.
After considerable further discussion, the following resolution
was introduced by Mr. Plummer who moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 72-171

AN EFFECTIVE DATE
THIS ORDNANCE WAS ADOPTED ON FIRST READING AT THE MEETING OF
MAY 4, 1�02 AND WAS TAKEN UP FOR CONSIDERATION AND SECOND READING
THIS DATE,
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, it has been brought to my attention that
there is a gentlemen here representing Florida Power and Light who
would like to speak.
Mr. King: Honorable Commissioners, my name is Sheppard King, I
am an Attorney with a firm and we represent Florida Power $ Light.
Our problem with this Ordinance is, not with the basic intent of
the ordinance which is to amend the utility tax, to impose a tax
upon fuel oil. Our office represented some consumers of gas in
Tampa and took a case up to the Supreme Court Of Florida recently
which sought very strenuously the ability of cities to impose a
tax on fuel oil. The crux of that case was that you can as a
city impose a tax upon'purchases of fuel oil where a competitive
utility is then being taxed and generally a competitive utility
with fuel oil such as gas, the major hotels on the beach can keep
their hotels by the purchase of gas or the purchase of fuel oil.
The beach could presently impose a tax upon the purchase of gas
and thereby enable the city to impose a tax upon the purchase of
fuel oil. A competitive utility. However our problem is that the
statute itself which enables the City to impose a tax upon utilities
expressly exempts and prohibits the City from imposing a tax upon
a utility that purchases gas for generation of electricity.
Thereby, it is our contention that the City may not impose a tax
upon the purchase of fuel oil for the generation of electricity.
The competing fuel, gas in this instance is not being taxed by the
city, its expressly prohibited by the statute. We maintain that
this statute must similarly prohibit the city from imposing a
tax upon utilities when we purchase fuel oil to generate electricity.
I might add that the Dade County Metropolitan Code expressly adopts
this provision and does prohibit the taxation of fuel oil when
purchased by an electric company to generate electricity as does
the City of tampa which is the case we took up to the Florida Supreme
Court, that ordinance which was expressly adopted, expressly exempts
the purchases of fuel oil by an electric company for the generation
of electricity. We think this point has been adopted by two
jurisdictions in the state which since the Supreme Court decision
have attempted to pass fuel oil and we think that the city here
should also do so.
30
MAY 19, 197
Mayor Kennedy: Has the City Attorneys office looked into that?
Mr. Harris Turner: Yes we are aware of this contention of Florida
Power and Light, we have checked and we have copies of the Dade
County Ordinance and the Tampa Ordinance, however we feel that
Florida Power and Lights contention is a matter of legislative
interpretation and we would like to see you adopt this and pass
it on second reading just like it is.
Mayor Kennedy: I think if we go ahead and adopt this, you are
probably going to have to adjudicate this.
Mr. King: If, I may, Mr. Mayor, I would like at the very least,
we think this is an open and shut matter. I understand that
counsel has just read a memo on our predicament. We have been
up and down from the Circuit Court to the Supreme Court on this
statute once. It takes a lot of City money and a lot of Florida
Power and Lights money and we think its unnecessary. At the very
least we would like an opportunity to meet with the City Attorney
and present our full position.
Mayor Kennedy: I think thats fair. Are there any other objectors
who would like to be heard? On item #18? Are there any pros who
would like to be heard on item 18? The chair doesn't recognize
any other person who wants to be heard on item 18, therefore the
chair would entertain a motion to defer this until our meeting
of June 1, would you have enough time to advertise it?, so that
the attorney here would be able to sit with the city attorneys
office and to sume up whether this would legally stand up in court.
If it is a frivelous matter, apparently we can spend our money on
better things.
Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission, I don't think -
it will be necessary to advertise it again, this would be a contin-
uation of this hearing matter and be a resolving of this one incident
in relation to the ordinance.
Mayor Kennedy: Lets set it for 2 o'clock on June 1, and that should
give you sufficient time to work it out.
Mr. King: Thank you Mr. Mayor
The following motion was then made by Mr. Plummer who moved
its adoption:
A MOTION TO DEFER CONSIDERATION OF SECOND AND
FINAL READING THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE CONCERNING
EXCISE TAX ON FUEL OIL UNTIL 2 P.M. JUNE 1, 1972
Upon being seconded by Mrs. Gordon, the motion was passed and
adopted by the following vote - AYES: Messrs. Plummer, Gibson,
Mrs. Gordon and Mayor Kennedy. NOES: None
20, HENDERSON PARK DISCUSSION
Mr. Stafford Pinder, Chairman, Administrative Board and
Mr. Ed. R. Dodson, Director Special Ministries of Riverside United
Methodist Church, 985 N. W. 1 Street appeared in regard to proposed
recreational facilities at Henderson Park.
Mr. Dodson stated that he had appeared before the Commission on
a prior occasion with recommendations as to what the church would like
to have accomplished in Henderson Park. He cited the fact that the
neighborhood had increased approximately 10 times in the amount of
children using these facilities. He stated that the church at their
own expense had erected basketball facilities in their parking lot
and that about 40 to 50 youths used these facilities and that a coffee
house was operated on Saturday and Friday evenings and ping pong and
pool facilities were provided but the church had done all it could in
an effort to provide recreational facilities.
He emphasized some vacant land, about 90 X 130 feet which is presently
unused in the park and another90 X 300 feet and what they were asking
the Commission to consider was to take some of the park funds and put
up some gymnastic equipment, basketball goals, try to take advantage
of every bit of space that is available.
31
MAY 19, 1972
Mayor Kennedy advised Mr. Dodson that the City Commission was
very appreciative of the efforts of this church to aid the youth
in recreational facilities and commented that this church had stayed
within the central city area and had coped with the urban problems
in a fine manner and advised that Mr. Acton would work with neighborhood
groups in the development'of parks as a result of the recently passed
bond issue. The Mayor further explained that the tennis program at
Henderson Park could not be disrupted because they represented the
only good tennis facilities in the city limits but that future plans
for the park would include facilities for all age groups so that
there would be something for everyone.
In summation, Mr. Dodson commended the commission for their
past work'in this area and commended Reverend Gibson for his work
in helping unfortunate blacks but stated that in his area, the
white population had left and had been replaced by a largely cuban
population and emphasized that these children had no representation
here and that''was the reason for the interest of the church and that
it was the concern of the church to prevent future problems as these
children grow older.
21. REQUEST FOR FUNDS' FOR WOMEN IN DISTRESS
Mary Ellen Fabal representing Women in Distress appeared and
appealed for funds for women in distress emphasizing that there are
great numbers of elderly persons in our community that are in dire
need of some organization to aid them in times of trouble to help
in physical matters such as a clean room, bath and possible assist-
ance in finding a job, and that this organization was on call 24
hours a day to help such persons and requested $25,000 to start a
building fund for Women in Distress.
Georgia Jones also appeared and stated that their organization
had helped any number of young women who found themselves in
situations that they found themselves extremely frustrating such as
women with small children and families with serious problems and
emphasized that the helping of women in such situations also helped
her family.
Mayor Kennedy commended this organization for their fine work and
particularly in the areas of bringing job discrimination matters
to the attention of the commission. The Mayor further explained
that many quasi -public organizations of good cause come before the
commission but that the commission by charter was prevented from
making contributions unless the organization benefited all the
general public in nature but invited the spokeswomen to sit down
with the City Attorneys Office to see if something cou'ld be worked
out and that if such help was still impossible, that perhaps help
of in kind services could possibly be made.
The following resolution was introduced by Mrs. Gordon, who
moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 72-182

REQUEST OF "WOMEN IN DISTRESS" FOR FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE OR THE POSSIBILITY OF THE CITY OF

Mr. C. W. MC Loud, i+xecutive Director, Senior Centers of
Dade County Inc., appeared to present a brief outline of the
function of this organization and stated it had been in existence

the surrounding area including the geriatric program to provide
low cost nutritional meals to persons 60 years of age or older.
By June 30 of this year, the organization will have prepared over
156,000 meals to low income elderly persons in Dade County through
18 centers, 7 of which are within the city limits of Miami. The
cost of each delivered meal is $1.18 but that the elderly citizen
was only charged 50t. the balance currently subsidized through a
federal program on aging with the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare. funding of of the program was $67,000 and stated
that the City of Miami Beach had contributed about $18,000 and
Metropolitan Dade County, $10,000 and United Fund, $10,000 for
a total cost of $106,117 for the 156,000 meals. He stated that
application for federal funding of this program for another year
had been made but that some matching funds had to come from local
support.
He requested a contribution of $10,000 from the City of Miami
to help fund the program for the next year.

available and services in kind and Mr. Mc Loud expressed his interest
in that possibility as an alternative.

23, TRAFFIC HAZARDS TO BUS OPERATIONS IN THE CITY. OF MIAMI
Mr. Carl Rolfe, President of Transport Workers Local #291
appeared to advise the Commission of a problem that has developed
in that buses are receiving traffic tickets when the buses stop
on the street to discharge passengers. He stated the bulk of
these citations are from Metro but that the cities of Miami, Miami
Beach and Hialeah were also issuing these citations and presented
recommendations to the city commission for drafting or ordinances
to prevent these situations.
After further discussion, the following resolution was
introduced by Mr. Plummer who moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 72-185
A RESOLUTION SUBMITTING TO THE CITY ATTORNEY FOR
LEGAL OPINION, TWO PROPOSED ORDINANCES DESIGNED
TO REMEDY TRAFFIC HAZARDS TO BUSES IN THE CITY
OF MIAMI

24, DRAINAGE PROBLEM ON SOUTH DIXIE HIGHWAY
Mr. Plummer stated that he was again bringing to the attention
of the Commission, a severe drainage problem existing on South Dixie
Highway particularly in the vicinity of S. W. 17th to S. W. 19th
Avenues. He stated that this situation seemed to be worsening and
that several serious accidents including a fatality had recently
occurred. He emphasized that he was aware that this was not the
primary responsibility of the City but rather the State Road Department
and expressed the opinion that they should give immediate attention to
this problem.
After further discussion, the following resolution was introduced
by Mr. Plummer who moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 72-186
A RESOLUTION AGAIN URGING THE STATE ROAD DEPARTMENT

25, ADMINISTRATION PLANS FOR UPCOMING NATIONAL CONVENTIONS
Mr. Plummer: I have something I would like to ask of the administration,
we have read a great deal in the press about the upcoming summer.
I would like the administration to go on record since they have not,
as to what we, the City of Miami are doing to prepare for these upcoming
conventions, for my edification, and maybe that of the rest of the
Commission. Mr. Andrews, if you are in a position Sir, to answer
that question, I would like to hear from the administration.
Mr. Andrews: Yes Sir, I think I can answer it generally because
Mr. Reese would be in a much better position to brief the Commission
quite thoroughly and our City Departments, particularly the Police
and Fire are well coordinated and are giving a great deal of attention
to the planning that is needed for the convention. In addition to
this, he has held several meetings with the County Manager and is
very closely coordinating our activities with the County and with
Miami Beach. We have specific individuals who have been selected
to coordinate activities for both the police and fire and I believe
that the City is well underway, I don't believe it, I know that they
are well underway with a positive plan for this summer's two political
conventions.
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Andrews, then I can have the assurance of the
administration that the City is doing everything that is possible
to be done in preparation for this upcoming convention.
Mr. Andrews: Yes, there is a significant amount of advance detailed
planning that has already taken place and we think we know exactly
what is needed and expected of us.
Mr. Plummer: Finally, there was an item on the original agenda,
Item #55, I think a pact with other municipalities pertaining to
the police. Mr. Salerno is here, and he as well as I wonder why
it was taken off of the agenda and if you will explain that.
Mr. Andrews: Mr. Reese was prepared to recommend the pact concept
between Coral Gables, Miami Beach and the City. The City Attorney
in reviewing this matter the early part of this week informed
Mr. Reese that there was some matters that had to be reviewed with
his office and its very possible and I am almost positive that the
Manager was going to recommend that in order to resolve these
particular problems, that our City Attorney, Miami Beach and Coral
Gables City Attorney meet understanding what the objective is and
to iron out these differences so that we could go forward with the
pact.
Mr. Rothstein: I can tell you a little bit further. On Friday of
last week, I received a memo from the Chief of Police enclosing a
contract written by a legal advisor to the Police Chief, Mr. Sam
Pendino , all not following the proceedings and procedures required
in the code and charter and requesting that we immediately proceed
to approve it so it could be signed. My further understanding, that
this was first given to Mr. Pendino four months ago, and there were
so many things that I found wrong with it, that I advised the
Manager that I couldn't approve any of it. At the same time, I was
advised by Mr. Salerno, of the problems that he felt the men were
being faced with and so I incorporated them saying in the agreement
or pointed out that we, couldn't approve because these things were a
problem. And then when our office discussed it with Mr. Reese,
Mr. Reese determined that the better idea was to not bring it up
but I do think you ought to have the Chief of Police here to advise
you just what this means and explain the ramifications of it and
prospects of it and it should not be handled in a manner where
the Chief of Police sends a contract to me to be approved when this
Commission has never acted policy wise as to whether or not you want
to be involved in that type of action.
Mr. Plummer: Well, I think Mr. Andrews if you would invite him down
here for the next meeting it would be proper.
Mr. Andrews: Yes, I hope between now and then some amount of
attention would be given this matter so some of the problems that
the City Attorney forsees could be worked out and that this could
be moved ahead.
35
MAY 19, 1972
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Rothstein, in attending, as I chanced to do the
other day, a civil service hearing, I was amazed to hear that in
1968 when we had problems, that our police department were diverted
to other municipalities and they found themselves in the position
of being an interested citizen in a uniform but basically that was
it, they had no power and no authority. I surely would not want
to see this happen, this upcoming summer and another question was
raised and I am saying this to you Sir because I would like answers
back and assurances that our men will be protected, they have raised
such questions as pension, if they were hurt in the line of duty,
would they be covered by our insurance, would they be covered by
the city's sick leave and things of this nature and I think its a
matter of concern and I think an answer should be given to them.
Mr.Rothstein: I don't know who the Chief spoke to, he designated
what he wanted in the contract or what he discussed with other
departments in other communities and it didn't go through the
Managers Office who usually negotiates these things and I am very
hazy about the whole thing.
Mr. Plummer: Well I would like a legal opinion from you before
the next meeting stating to me that our men both Fire and Police
are protected if in fact they are used in other municipalities
other than Miami.
Mr. Rothstein: In other words, you want an agreement drawn up
that does protect them, is that what you are telling me?
Mr. Plummer: In so many words, yes.
Mr. Rothstein: I think that could be in resolution form.
Mr. Plummer: I will then offer a resolution that this City Commissio
go on record that we are asking for and expect to receive a. resolution,
from the City Attorney
Mr. Rothstein: An an agreement.
Mr. Plummer: And an agreement that our men will be adequately
protected if in fact they are used out of our municipality. I think
its only fair to the people that we are asking.
Mr. Rothstein: Thats why I said before, that it was most unusual
to get something out of the blue from the chief without having the
policy direction from the Commission. You have now given me some
policy direction that I can at least have a beginning with -
Mr. Plummer: Its only right, these men should have the assurance
that they have our insurance backing them, their pension rights,
and that we the City will stand behind them if they get in a fracas
and be sued as individuals, will the City stand behind them and I
think they should have these answers now and I offer that resolution
Mr. Mayor, that some direction come back from the City Attorney
Before our June 1, meeting.
Mayor Kennedy: Its been moved by Mr. Plummer, seconded by Mrs. Gordon,
discussion?
Mrs. Gordon: I forwarded a letter to the Manager with regard to
that. I don't know if Mr. Plummer is referring to the same letter
that came to us and I asked for an opinion on that and so this is
in line with that, as a formal resolution.
Mr. Plummer: Well, not only that but it is a demand that we have
the answer by June 1.
Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor, and members of the Commission, in defense
of the Chief, and I recognize fully the position the City Attorney
is taking in this matter and I recognize that we all can get a little
sensitive at this time as to procedures that he has followed in the
past and in preparing for something that is as important as these two
conventions are and the number of people involved and the things that
are going to have to be done, there will be times when some of this
is taken out of order
36
MAY 19, 1972
I am sure that the Chief recognizes this and I am sure that he
didn't intend in any way that would cause any problems but he
is attempting to do his job -
Mr. Rothstein: Mr. Andrews, I am sorry but that is not factually
accurate. That contract without getting a policy discrimination
from this Commission was down at that Chiefs office for two or
three months before it suddenly came up, "were in a hurry and
approve what we drafted", which is just the opposite concept
of what the City Commissioners just said is their policy. That
really does not do what this Commission said is their policy.
Mayor Kennedy: Anease inform the Chief that we do not interfere
with his policy determinations with the administration but when
it comes to the legislative field, it has to come before this
Commission and we want our City Attorney to see these contracts
on the legality of it before it ever gets to us. And please
inform him of this, you don't send a copy of a contract to the
City Attorney one day before its supposed to be acted upon and
tell him to act on it when it contains policy matters and when
its not a legally valid contract that was written in the first
place. Thats why we have a City Attorney to protect us.
Mr. Plummer: Mr. Mayor, let me say because I don't want to- step
in the middle of a fight between the City Attorney, the Police Chief
and the Administration. I was not aware of any contract. I have made
my statement that I heard these comments made at a civil service
meeting and that is the reason i brought them to the attention
of this commission.
Mr. Rothstein: There is no fight but this was as a result of
your inquiry as to why it was taken off of the agenda and thats
why, because it wasn't handled in the proper manner.
Mr. Plummer: I think its a legitimate inquiry.
Mayor Kennedy: You are right in the middle of it Mr. Plummer,
did you make a motion?
Thereupon the following resolution was introduced by Mr. Plummer
who moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 72-187
A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CITY ATTORNEY TO
SUBMIT TO THE COMMISSION AT ITS NEXT MEETING
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 1, 1972 A METHOD WHEREBY
THE CITY OF MIAMI POLICEMAN AND FIREMEN CAN BE
AFFORDED THE FULL LEGAL PROTECTIONS TO WHICH
THEY ARE PRESENTLY ENTITLED AS CITY OF MIAMI
EMPLOYEES IN THE EVENT THEY MAY BE CALLED UPON
TO SERVE OUTSIDE THE LIMITS OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI
(Here follows body of resolution, omitted here and

Upon being seconded by Mrs. Gordon, the resolution was passed
and adopted by the following vote - AYES: Messrs. Plummer, Gibson,

Convention Plans (Continued)
26, COOPERATION BETWEEN MUNICIPALITIES DURING NATIONAL CONVENTIONS
Reverend Gibson: Mr. Mayor, In the same vien, I attended several
meetings recently and one of the things that has bothered me as
you talk around, you hear only about two municipalities, maybe three
involved in responsibility of the convention. I understand this,
but what I am trying to get at is that I would hope that we would
express to whoever is responsible since the governor has appointed
a task force of a kind, that all of the municipal heads would get
to gether and let the other know what each knows and so that,
when I hear them talk, it looks like the City of Miami and Miami
Beach are going to all the dues. And thats not the way it is
because we have Coral Gables, North Miami and all of them and I
would hope that all these city attorneys and city managers would
be getting together, they don't have to publicize it, but at least
there should be a oneness of mind. Do you see what I mean?
I sat at a meeting yesterday chaired by Mr. in which the
governors committee appointed by the governor to get all these
things together, . many of us didn't know what was happening and
I don't think they have to tell all of the members of the committee
but somebody on that committee ought to know that most of the people
have been contacted and what commitments have been made so they
could at least allay our fears.
Mr. Rothstein: Amen
Mayor Kennedy: Call the roll
Thereupon the following resolution was introduced by Reverend
Gibson, who moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 72-188
A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE OPINION OF THE CITY
COMMISSION THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS OF
ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES IN DADE COUNTY COOPERATE
IN PLANS TO RESOLVE ANY PROBLEMS WHICH MIGHT
ARISE IN CONNECTION WITH THE FORTHCOMING DEMOCRATIC
AND REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTIONS TO BE HELD ON
MIAMI BEACH THIS SUMMER

and adopted by the following vote - AYES: Messrs. Plummer, Gibson,
Mrs. Gordon and Mayor Kennedy. NOES: None
27. QF ��S I BLE GREAT 1 ON OF ZONING APPEALS BOARD AND PLANNING
Mrs. Gordon: I have a matter appropriate to the afternoon discussion.
We have asked the Planning Department to enlarge upon the Review Board
which will make recommendations under the Planned Area Development
concept. Is that right Mr. Acton?
Mr. Acton: Yes, that is correct.
Mrs. Gordon: In line with that, I want to make a recommendation and
I will put it in the form of a motion that this review board be
considered in the same light as a Planning Review Board and that we
ask the Department to study and to come back with a recommendation
for some changes in the structure of the City of Miami Planning and
Zoning Board as it presently is constituted. We are one of the few
cities in the State of Florida, and I believe the only one of this
size, that operates with an archaic system of a Planning and Zoning
Board which lends itself primarily to decisions relating to variances
and such . I believe the time has come when we must grow up and we
must divide the board and since we are now appropriately considering
38 MAY 19, 1972
•
a review board for Planned Area Development Concept, we can still
use the same review board as a planning board and have in addition
to that, a zoning appeals board which will rule only on the
variances and the conditional uses that we are dealing with now
and the planning review board will deal with problems of the
environment, with transportation, pollution and the concerns for
the future, which our present board does not lend its attention to
simply because of a lack of time and also I believe we should
consider the makeup of these boards and the members of these boards
to be a professional type with background or experience and training
in the fields related to planning and zoning which covers quite a
wide field and in addition to that, can include some members from
the public at large but I have made this quite lengthy so that 1
can express all of my intent for the Planning Departments consid-
eration. Now, I believe that this will probably require a charter
amendment in order to make this second board, a board that would
have the power to make recommendations to the Commission. The
Zoning Appeals Board would be a final authority on the advantages
and so forth, in my opinion, however these are matters which I
hope you will come back with concrete recommendations and I so
move it.
Mayor Kennedy: Does everyone understand?
Mrs. Gordon: To sum it up very briefly, I am saying that we need
two boards in the City of Miami. One, a planning board, one a
zoning appeals board. This is being done and it is being used in
almost every large city in the State of Florida today except Miami.
I am saying that our Planning Department could come up with the
specifics of it and to come up with it soon and I believe it will
require a charter amendment and our city attorney can tell us
that and if it does, it could be placed on the ballot in the fall.
Mr. Acton: Mrs. Gordon, may I suggest that you include in there
planning department and law department because it does involve -
Mrs. Gordon: Of course, because it does involve the Law Department
for consideration certainly.
Rev. Gibson: Is this a motion for study and recommendation?
Mrs. Gordon: Its a motion for a recommendation and for the law
department to come back with the proper approach to it.
I don't want this to drag out for six months because we have elections
coming up in the fall and if we adopt this policy, we are going to
have to put it on the ballot.
MayorKennedy: Its been moved that the Planning Department come back
to the City Commission with recommendations as soon as possible that
include the idea of being placed on the ballot, possible charter
changes affecting the planning and zoning board as it is presently
consitituted. Its been moved by Mrs. Gordon, is there a second?
Seconded by Canon Gibson, call the roll -
Thereupon the following resolution was introduced by Mrs.
Gordon, who moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 72-189
A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT
AND THE LEGAL DEPARTMENT TO SUBMIT TO THE
COMMISSION AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE TIME RECOM-
MENDATIONS FOR PROPOSED CHARTER CHANGES WHICH
WOULD PROVIDE FOR A ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS AND
A PLANNING REVIEW BOARD FOR THE CITY OF MIAMI

28. LEAGUE CUBANA DE JOSE MARTI
Translated by Mr. Frank Cobo:
Mr. Cobo: Mr. Magell LaVieja came to the Mayors office pointing out
that last year he appeared before the commission and requested a fee
to be waivered at the Miami Stadium. I am not sure if the record
shows that the City Commission took action and voted in favor of
this waiver or not but his League shows that they didn't make any
money last year and this is more or less to help the young people
of the community and he has a record here, his final statement
shows he had to raise $682.00 from charity in order to pay for the
bill which included just maintenance etc to run the program without
having to pay the Stadium. He recently received a bill from Mr.
Rubio stating that he owed $4,800.00 for last years program and
this is what he would like the City Commission to waive, that
$4,800.00.
Mayor Kennedy: Let me say this, I would like for the legal department
and someone who can speak for the league in english to sit down with
Mr. Andrews Office and see exactly what these costs are for and
whether this is a profit or non profit organization and come back
to us at the next meeting with a recommendation. You are talking
about a lot of money to waive and they want to go ahead and do it
in coming years. We have done it for the American Legion and the
Cuban Baseball League and for anyone else as long as its a non-
profit organization, but I don't want to get into whether its
profit making or non profit making at this time, I think that an
iivestigation by the City Attorney and City Managers Office could
determine that and have this brought back to us at our next meeting.
Mr. Cobo: : The feeling that they have is that this is devoted
to the young people in the community and they have done a great job
and they also want to consider Mr. Andrews the possibility of having
it waived this year which starts I believe June 4., 2nd, 3rd and 4th
of June. For the Stadium.
Mr. Andrews: Mr. Mayor and members of the Commission, we are aware
of their request and we are holding it in abeyance because we have
run into a serious problem with the use of the Stadium between the
two conventions. Some shifting has taken place into June and we
would have to sit down with these people to see what could be made
available. We couldn't commit at this time, the dates they have
asked for because we have had some of the uses shifted during this
period.
Mayor Kennedy: Lets see if we can work this out but I don't know
how they are going to do it by our next meeting June 1.
Mr. Cobo: I thought they had already signed the contract for the
2nd, 3rd and 4th,-
Mr. Andrews: They had submitted a contract to the City to be signed
but it hasn't been consumated.
Mayor Kennedy: Well, I don't know how we can do this.
Mr. Andrews: The best thing we can do is to get together to see
what could be worked out.
29. GIRON MONUMENT - EXPENSE OF LIGHTED TORCH
The following resolution was introduced by Mrs. Gordon who
moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 72-190
A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE POLICY OF THE COMMISSION
THAT THE CITY OF MIAMI ASSUME THE COST OF MAINTAINING
THE GAS LIGHTED TORCH AT THE GIRON MONUMENT HONORING
MEMBERS OF BRIGADA DE ASALTO
4o
MAY 19, 1972
29. GIRON MONUMENT - EXPENSE OF LIGHTED POACH:
Vice Mayor Gordon: Mr. Mayor while we are waiting a
couple of minutes, we all received a memo from the City Manager
regarding the little memorial Park that the Brigade fixed up,
I don't know if any of you have seen it, I know that J. L. has
seen it, and I admired the work that has been done there and the
amount of money that has been spent there is considerable. The
Cuban people spent about $7500.00 improving that park. Now
Mr. Reese said that he would install some more lights and
some more shrubs, and a few things of that nature. Are you
aware of it Mr. Andrews?
Mr. Andrews: I am aware that Mr. Reese had returned
the memorandum to you, and the Commission indicating that
arrangements had been made for the lights but I was not
aware of the shrubbery and other matters.
Mrs. Gordon: Well, that is not the point I was going to
bring up. The point I am going to bring up is that he said
that he felt that we could not assume the cost of keeping the
torch lit. Now, I bring this up because I feel that it is
a tourist attraction. It is an improvement to the City of
Miami, and all the costs thus far have been borne by people
who can hardly afford that kind of expenditures but they have
done it, and it has improved the City of Miami.
Mayor Kennedy: How much does it cost per year?
Mrs. Gordon: It has been costing them about $60.00
average per month to run this gas. Now, as I understand it,
the torch in Bayfront Park has been taken care of by the
City of Miami. Are you familiar on the cost on that?
Mr. Andrews: Yes, its free.
Mrs. Gordon: Okay, if that is free, then it appear to
me that perhaps the City Manager can investigate the feasibility
or the possibility of getting some, if not a free ride here,
but at least a reduced cost and let us assume what I feel we
should, which is City property, and a City beautification job
that has been done for us. So I would like to move that please.
Mr. Andrews:I will certainly discuss this with the City
Manager and convey your exact sentiments.
Mrs. Gordon: Okay. I made it in the form of a motion, ---
Mr. Plummer: You need a motion on that?
Mrs. Gordon: I'd like to make it that way so we can get
it finalized at our next meeting.
Mayor Kennedy: What is the motion, Rose?
Mrs. Gordon: The motion is for the City Manager to, ----
to express to the City Manager our desire to assume this respon-
sibility of keeping the torch lit, but I ask him to investigate
whether we can get it at the same rate we can get it Bayfront
Park, and if not at a reduced rate from the Bridadas have to
pay.
Mayor Kennedy: All right, it has been moved by Mrs. Gordon.
Is there a second? Seconded by Canon Gibson, call the roll.
Mrs. Gordon: The intent was, I want to clarify this, that
we do accept this responsibility.
The following resolution was introduced by Mrs. Gordon
who moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 72-190

THAT THE CITY OF MIAMI ASSUME THE COST OF MAINTAINING
THE SAS LIGHTED TORCH AT THE GIRON MONUMENT HONORING

Mrs. Gordon stated that the organization that built the monument
has thus far assumed the cost of the gas for the torch but they could
ill afford it and that the annual cost was approximately $600.00 per
year. She inquired from the administration as to the cost of the gas for
torch in Bayfront Park and upon receiving a reply that it was free made
suggestion the city manager investigate the possibility of a similar
arrangement for this torch or at least investigate the possibility
of a reduced rate.
