City Manager's Report: 43 44 Ms. Davis said that the main concern in the City at this 45 time is power restoration. At this point in time 70 percent of 46 the City's power has been restored. FPL's first priority is REGULAR CITY COMMISSION 1 MINUTES - November 1, 2005 1 getting the substations back on line; another priority is 2 repairing the laterals that go to the streets; and lastly, the 3 transformers which handle 4 -5 homes each. She also took this time 4 to extend special thanks to State Representative Julio Robaina, 5 and Miami -Dade County Commissioner Carlos Jimenez and staff for 6 all their invaluable assistance during the aftermath of the 7 hurricane. She then thanked City staff for their great 8 cooperation and hard work. 9 10 Ms. Davis then requested to set a date for the EAR workshop. 11 A date was scheduled for Monday, November 7 at 6:30 p.m. 12 13 Commissioner Wiscombe referred to a center isle recently 14 installed on SW 58th Avenue by the municipal lot, saying that it 15 is creating traffic congestion for the ingress /egress of the 16 Shops. Mr. Balogun said that the measure is intended to calm 17 traffic but he said that he would take a look at it. Ms. Davis 18 also said that they will look at it. Commissioner Wiscombe then 19 thanked Mr. Balogun for all the work they have done to clean up 20 the debris left behind by the hurricane; he also thanked James 21 for his help in delivering the ice to the residents; he also said 22 that he appreciates the hours that the police officers have put 23 in. He then asked Mr. Ricke about the butterfly garden over the 24 Senior Center. Mr. Ricke said that he has sent two requests to 25 the County but that he has not heard back from them so far 26 regarding that project. 27 28 Commissioner Wiscombe also asked Ms. Davis for the 29 expenditures for Dade Days. He then discussed the issue of the 30 take -home car that has been assigned to the City Manager's 31 Assistant. 32 33 Ms. Davis said that this was not a secret. It was an 34 employment agreement. She has several staff members that have 35 take -home cars; they are essential, on call, 24 hour -a -day 36 employees, such as the Public Works Director. Her assistant is 37 also on call twenty -four hours a day. She said that when she got 38 here, every department head had a take -home car which was the 39 policy of the former administration. She said that it was not the 40 direction of the Commission but rather it was her own initiative, 41 to take away the take -home cars in order to save money and to 42 balance the budget at the time. 43 44 Commissioner Wiscombe then referred to Ms. Davis' hiring 45 records. Ms. Davis said that she would rather sit down one -on -one 46 with the Commission and answer any questions that they might have 47 on that respect. 48 49 Mayor Russell said that they should do just that and put the 50 matter to rest once and for all. REGULAR CITY COMMISSION 2 MINUTES - November 1, 2005 48 49 Commissioner Sherar referred to the issue of the take -home cars. He said that they should only be used to commute to work, and should not be used for any other purposes. Ms. Davis explained that the Police Department is in the process of installing tracking devices on the vehicles. Vice Mayor Palmer said that they need to have something in place with regard to hurricane preparedness. The County distributed ice at Barnes Park but that was too far for the convenience of our residents. Ms. Davis said that the Vice Mayor raised a very good point because we are working with the County to come up with a distribution point within the City so that people will not have to travel far away to obtain these articles of necessity in the event of an emergency. Commissioner Wiscombe said that there is also a need to identify the residents with health issues so that we know where they are in case of an emergency situation. He said that the Community Relations Board should be involved with this effort. Mayor Russell said that she is in touch with FPL, together with the City Manager, working with them as diligently as possible to see that power is restored as soon as possible. Commissioner Sherar referred to the upcoming elections, speaking about campaign contribution. He said that he wanted to get a legal opinion by the City Attorney, ahead of the election, determining whether or not a $10,000 campaign contribution to a political organization, which then passes it on as an administrative fee, would constitute an illegal campaign contribution under state law. He suggested seeking an opinion from the Ethics Commission. The Commission agreed by acclamation to direct the City Attorney to obtain a legal opinion as requested by Commissioner Sherar. Mayor Russell then referred to early voting. Commissioner Wiscombe said that he would like to hold early voting Thursday, Friday and Saturday the week prior to the general elections. With no further comments, the City Manager's Report concluded. 2.

He has lived there 23 for fifteen years; neighbors walk by everyday and they enjoy it 24 the way it is. 25 26 Marlene Reiss, residing at 6200 SW 50 Street, said that in 27 the 15 years that she has lived there, this has become the 28 single, most divisive issue that has been raised. She added that 29 the majority of the neighbors want to keep it the way it is. She 30 then urged the Commission to adopt staff's recommendations. 31 32 David Sampedro, residing at 6361 SW 50 Street, said that if 33 the legitimate concern of the neighbors is the issue of security 34 in the area, what they need is just a parking barrier so that 35 nobody else can park there. He then said that the address where 36 the SW in question parks is 6360 SW 50 Street and is on the 37 County side. 38 39 Dr. Alex Marban, residing at 5075 SW 63 Avenue, said that he 40 leaves his house at different hours of the day and evening and 41 has never seen any crime activity in that area. He then urged the 42 Commission to keep the property the way it is. 43 44 Annette Vergara, residing at 6311 SW 50 Terrace, who is one 45 of the petitioners, said that she would like to see the vacant 46 lot closed. She said that she has pictures of cars parked in the 47 area that continue to park in spite of the signs. She said that 48 there is a problem, and that the people that do not want it 49 closed is because they are enjoying that area in the sense of 50 parking.

Mr. Gutierrez said that he had 17 served on the Planning Board for about six years. 18 19 At this time Mr. Besu requested permission to address the 20 Commission again just to indicate that they may be divided on the 21 issue but that they are still neighbors. 22 23 Marilyn Rivera, residing at 6330 SW 50 Street, expressed 24 concern with the fact that the approval of this request might 25 create a precedent. 26 27 Jorge Chipi, residing at 4990 SW 63 Avenue, said that he is 28 one of the persons that brought up the crime issue. He said that 29 in the event that the City decides to keep the property as a 30 public right -of -way, there are certain things that will affect 31 him, such as the blocking of his back gate. He also said that his 32 fence is very low in order to comply with our code; therefore, he 33 would request that he is allowed to build an 8 -foot fence across 34 his property. 35 36 With no further speakers, the public hearing was closed. 37 38 Commissioner Wiscombe said that he would support staff's 39 recommendations to keep it as is. 40 41 Commissioner Birts- Cooper said that she discovered this area 42 two years ago while campaigning and thought that it was the best 43 kept secret in South Miami. She said that we need to maintain 44 that area, and that she also would go with .staff's 45 recommendations. 46 47 Vice Mayor Palmer said that she was a little disappointed 48 because she had received an email prior to the meeting informing 49 that this matter would be postponed.
