OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
MEMORANDUM
The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
Steven Alexander
July 19, 2016
Managers Report
The letter regarding the Michael Gavins police related shooting, transmitting the
SAO report to Chief Landa was signed by Katherine Fernandez Rundle dated
June 28, 2016 stated in part that:
"The investigation has determined that the shooting officer was legally
justified in his use of force and no criminal charges will be filed against
the subject officer."
I received an email from Mr. Drew Sheridan, attorney representing the control of
the Robinson properties who states that he has reviewed our interest to
purchase the properties with Mr. Griffin and reports that Mr. Griffin is not
interested in selling until the City is ready to break ground. This is contrary to
statements that he made previously to me in a meeting in which he stated that
he would sell the properties for the average of two appraisals on each property.
He would be willing to sell the property at 6412 SW 59 Place when South Miami is
beyond the planning phase and ready to commence construction, and will
consider attractive offers at that time.
We had signing ceremonies with the PBA and separately with AFSCME for their
collective bargaining agreements, which is a major accomplishment for not only
my team but for you as a Commission.
As you know we have received another significant offer from the Lynx
Companies regarding our City Hall property that is far reaching in its scope.
Among other things it includes construction of new affordable housing, and the
construction of most of the sewer system improvements that the City needs to
perform to ensure we have protected our community relative to sea level rise. I
anticipate receiving at least two other proposals from different entities, one of
which I will announce tonight,· and I am working on developing a summary
comparison sheet for your easy reference on these proposals. I anticipate a

discussion and perhaps some suggested revisions to the proposing entities by
the Commission prior to any formal vote or public education process.
Along that line, Mast Capital sent us a letter informing us of their intent, through
an affiliated entity, to submit a formal proposal regarding the City Hall site to
ensure a Project that South Miami would be proud of, which includes exciting,
well planned and designed architecture.
There will be a police appreciation event sponsored the Community Action
Agency on July 28. It will be held from 1 :30pm to 5:30 pm at the Community
Center in Murray Park. All residents are invited.
