The commisSi~~\'~~reed to discuss this and the add-on item at the same time since
they shared the same subject. Commissioner Edmond, the sponsor of the add-on item, spoke
highly of Mr. Pepe's performance as city attorney. He then said that he did not wish to go for an
RFPat this time when there are many things still outstanding in the legal department which Mr.
Pepe is handling well. The Commission also discussed the benefits of going for an RFP. The
Mayor expressed the desire to be able to hire a land use attorney who among other things,
would participate in the ERPB meetings since that board is authorized to make final decisions
instead of recommendations to the Commission as the Planning Board does. The Mayor added
CITY COMMISSION MINUTES 7

2 nature.

4 At this juncture, Commissioner Liebman said that because he believed there was a
5 conflict within the discussion by having Mr. Pepe providing an opinion on his own item,
6 therefore he did not wish to be part of this at all.

Letter from a very satisfied parks customer:
I just wanted to thank you again for your kindness and help in getting my son into
the Jan. 28 SumoBots workshop. He LOVED it! In fact, his robotic creation won
all the sumobot matches and was the overall champion! All the kids did great, and
it was an amazing and enriching experience for all.

MEMORANDUM
My son Christopher has unfortunately experienced a long history of being bullied
in school, which has absolutely devastated his self-esteem. Having had the
opportunity to succeed at something, made him so INCREDIBLY happy and
proud! Thank you for your part in making that possible.
In fact, he left there saying he would like to be an engineer and go into robotics! If
any spots should open up for the February workshop, would you let me know? I
will keep an eye open for the March newsletter and sign-up link. I can't really
afford to send him to paid classes right now, so this opportunity for him means the
world to us.\!
attached a pic of Chris and his proud creation.
The neighborhood near Dante Fascell Park experienced numerous
crimes of opportunity recently. Such crimes are possible in this case,
when our residents leave their cars unlocked. 100% of the break ins
during this episode were on cars left outside of garages and left
unlocked by their owners. So to our residents and their visitors,
please lock your cars. Each of these recent crimes would not have
occurred if the cars were properly locked.
A Solicitation Has Been Advertised and Posted on the City's Website:
PROJECT NAME: Sale and Purchase of the City Hall Site
PRE BID MEETING: February 15, at 10:00 AM
CLOSE DATE: March 30, 2017 at 10:00 AM
Once the Bid Solicitation is issued, the Cone of Silence goes into
effect. The Cone of Silence begins when the bid is advertised and
ends at the meeting at which the City Manager issues a written
recommendation for award. The Cone of Silence may be
reimposed if a decision is not made at that meeting. Potential
bidders cannot discuss any aspect of a bid that has been advertised
with City personnel during the Cone of Silence. The RFP has been
advertised on Demand Star, City's website and Daily Business
Review. We are also planning to place it in the Miami Times.
Regarding the re-accreditation of the Police Department, we have
received a letter which included the following statement: "Based on

the observations of the assessment team and the interviews they
conducted the agency is meeting or exceeding the standards
necessary to be considered an accredited agency." "It is the
consensus of the assessment team that the South Miami Police
Department be awarded reaccredited status by the Commission for
Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation at the next Commission
meeting." This meeting is scheduled to occur the day after our next
Commission meeting so I will not be able to attend to accompany
our team but the Chief and the Deputy Chief will be there to
hopefully accept the award.
Kelly Barket is leaving for less demanding pastures. He has
announced his resignation effective March 3. He has been with us
since September of 2011 and he has served the City with honor and
dignity. Please help me thank him for his public service with South
Miami.
