REGULAR AGENDA - FEBRUARY 21. 1990
R-l. REOUESTS FOR AGENDA CONSIDERATION
A. REQUEST OF HAROLD J. SEGAL, PRESIDENT, AND HARLEY C. WILLNER, PRESIDENT-ELECT, HIAHI BEACH
TAXPAYERS' ASSOCIATION, INC., TO DISCUSS "... RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE ASSOCIATION REGARDING
THE OELBER aEPOaT...".
1. 2/6/90 LETTER FROM ACTING CITY ATTORNEY TO COMMISSIONER WILLIAM E. SHaCKETT RE. JUDGE
GELBER'S R.EPORT ON THE HOMESTEAD HATTER, WITH COMMISSIONER SHOCKETT'S 12/12/89 LETTER
REQUEST.

LIABILITY OF FINE JACOBSON SCHWARTZ NASH BLOCK & ENGLAND FOR THE ACTIONS OF GERALD
HEFFERNAN ON 3/15/89 REGARDING THE HOMESTEAD RESOLUTION.
ADMINISTRATION R.ECOMMENDATION: THAT THE CITY COMMISSION HEAR MESSRS. SEGAL AND WILLNER.
ACTION: Messrs. Segal and Willner presented the Association's resolution requesting the
Commission to schedule a full discussion of the Gelber Report by all interested parties, with
particular reference to the following conclusions/recommendations:
1. Require written opinions of the City Attorney and bond counsel.
2. Open discussion of the bond counsel's actions and responsibility to the City.
3. Curb/modify use of the Consent Agenda, especially for monetary matters.
4. That the Finance Committe' enact procedures/pol ic ies/bylaws enumerating its
responsibilities, and that all funding matters be referred to it.
5. Establish/maintain more open lines of communication between the City Manager and City
Commission, and City government and the public.
The Commission adopted the Association's specific rec01llllendations detailed in its resolution.
Commissioner Singer suggested the Commission direct the Administration or City Attorney to
submit a written procedure regarding written opinions from the City Attorney and bond counsel
when the Commission makes decisions of great importance which require the City's financial
backing. He requested that the Administration review the Gelber Report and submit a written
recommendation as to the type of items that should/should not be placed on the Consent
Agenda. He also advised that procedures were established when the Commission subcommittees
were created, and suggested a copy of those procedures be given to Messrs. Segal and Willner
for review/recommendation for strengthening.
Commissioner Shockett advised that he asked the Acting City Attorney to review/comment on
Judge Gelber's Report and related transcripts, and the resulting 2/6/90 report reflected some
misconceptions; that in Judge Wetherington and Ms. Dougherty's opinion, the Commission acted
very responsibly at all times. The City Attorney advised that the Gelber Report brought out
the bond counsel's liability and the Finance Committee issue, which must be put in context
with Judge Wetherington's decision; that it did not matter whether or not the decision was
delayed to be presented to the Finance Committee since Judge Wetherington's opinion stated
that the City did not have any discretion since it did not have a competing project on the
books at that time. She advised that bond counsel misguided the Commission, broke his
fiduciary relationship to the City and should have advised who he was representing, but had
no liability to the City because Judge Wetherington exonerated him in his opinion.
Public hearing tentatively scheduled for 3/21/90 at 5:00 p.m. (subject to availability of
Commissioners) to review reports on the matter. The Association will review all pertinent
documents and submit report/recommendation at the hearing. The City Attorney offered to
discuss the matter further with the Association.
Note: Mr. Willner advised that the Association's Plamingo Park baseball facilities
resolution was presented 2/7/90, so no action was required at this time on that matter.

faot that appar.ntly th.re are .everal organizations in the City that pa..
out certificates that have a plaoe that say City of Miami Beaoh and have a
place for the Mayor's signature. What happened was that a bunch of safety
certificates were apparently issued to deserving people, but it never went
through my offioe, and I was never requested to sign thea, and th.refore they
were distr ibuted to the individuals who were the recipients without
signature, through the PAL and these people called and wanted to know why the
Mayor didn't take the trouble to sign them. I think that our policy is, and
should remain, that nobody has authority to issue any certificates of any
nature, or proclamations, or to aake any other presentations in the name of
the City that has the City'S n.. on it, without it going through the Mayor
and CoIIIIlissioners' office and I think that if any of you have any problems
with that, if not I think that we're going to have to make sure that we
advise all organizations in the oity that they have no authority to issue
anything in the n.. of the City with places for signatures of myself or a
Commissioner without our approval and without it going through our office.
Is there any other matter that has to be brought up? Okay, motion to

PLAQUE CRITIQUE
It is imperative that standards be established and set if commemorative plaques located in
the environs of Miami Beach CIty Hall are to have validity and serve the purpose for
which such honorarium was established. There must be justification. It is with this in mind
that the following qualifications are outlined as potentially applicable in the evaJuation of
qualifications.
1. Has the applicant or the ind1viduaJ under consideration had an impact on the city
historically, morally, socially, economically, or politically?
2. Has the candidate for a plaque served the community with a dedication and devotion

such that the city can point with pride to the fact that he was among us,
appreciated, respected, and loved?
6. Have the achievements and accomplishments of the individuai b~n such as can be
reasonably expected to withstand the test of time? Is there a permanence to what
was accomplished; or are the achievements of a temporary nature? How can one
determine the potentiaJ for permanence or the enduring quality of current
achievements? What standards shaJI be employed to determine intelllgent criteria?
A few suggestions:
a) Were the accomplishments noted beneficial to the few or the many?
b) Although beneficial, was the motivation self-serving?
c) Were the decisions a catering to the popular voice without regard for the
future good, or were such decisions as were made determined by conscience?

SUBJECT:
COMMITTEES
As I reported to you, at your last Commission Meeting, I am endorsing the concept of City
Commission Committees designed for the I)urpose of addressing key Issues prior to full
Commission action. As I noted, this process wouid permit the review of the complex SSDI
negotiations by a Comr(1ittee on Land Use and Development; issues tied to bonds and
financing by a Finance Committee; and Issup., related to Code Enforcement and Sanitation
to be reviewed by an Environmental Committee. You will recaU I advised that we begin this
process for a trial period to run through June, 1986.
Consequently, I am recommending the creation of the following Committees:
1. Finance Committee: Chaired by Commissioner William Shockett with two
additional Commissioners to be appointed. It is anticipated that the Parking
Committee and the Bond Counsei Committee would become incorporated
into the Finance Committee. Staffed by Carla Talarico, Robert NachUnger,
and Peter Llu.

DAOUD: Mr. Parkins, __ea, C~is.ion ~tt..s.
PARKINS I Yes, sir. Mr. Mayor and ..",ber. of the City CoBIie.ion, I'. going
to pass out to you a _110 that reflects the discussion w' ve had previously
and begins to streamline 80IMwhat so. of the co_itt.. procedures for the
Commission and for the Administration.
I reported to you at the c:o.aittsion _ting that ware endorsing the
concept of City CO_ission comaitt..s designed for the purpose of addressing
key issues prior to full co.ission action. As I noted, the process would
perJlit the review of the COIIPlex SSDI negotiation. by the r~ission on Land
Ose and Developllltnt, issues tied to ""nds and finance, by Pipance Ca.ittee,
issues related to Code Snforce_nt and Sani tat ion to be reviewed by an
Bnviroraental eo.aitt... You will recall I suggested that w begin the
process for a trial period to run througb June 1986.
After review with you, Mr. Mayor, and review with the _lIbers of the
Co_ission,w've suggested the creation of the following COBIittees: A
Pinance Committee. We'd r~nd . it be chaired by CoImissloner Williu
Shockett. We need two additional CO_issioners to be appointed. You
suggested you I d want to do that on a request basis (unclear, overlap) ...
DAOUD: Ye., I'd like to. What I'd like to do is find out which
eo.mis.ioners would like to ...
PARKINS :
be on which ~itt..?
DAOUD: Yes.
PARKINS: The second is the BnvironMntal ec.aittee chaired by Co.aissioner
Ben Grenald, wi th two additional eo.is.ioners to be appointed. The staff
person. are indicated.
Land Use and Developlent ec.aittee, chaired by Vice Mayor Stanley Arkin.
There are staff persons al80. The.e would be private development and
land use activitie..
Rules and Special Bvents, cbaired by co..issioner Bruce Singer. Two
additional Commis.ioners would be appointed. The Plaques and MeMorials
Co.ittee would then be inCorporated into this and the additional
responsibility would be added to revi.., the City-wide Citizens CO..ittee
structure. This is in line with a conversation that Commissioner Resnick and
I had most recently and we've had on other occasions with others of you, that
we need to review periodically the structure of our citizens' comaittees.
Fifth, Capital Improvements Comaittee, suggested chaired by Commissioner
Abe Resnick. That would be the _jor capital i1Iprov..nts of the city.
Sixth, the COIBunity Affairs Co.Iittee, chaired by Commissioner Sidney
Weisburd. Be had been involved with the Buman Relations CoIIIIlittee if you
recall, and that would be a primary responsibility aa well.
This is a recallll8ndation to you. You may accept it a. proposed. You
may change it in any way you would wish. Certainly if you accept it as
proposed, we'd ask if you could then begin to designate the additional
Commissioners for each. Keep in mind now that the OOM8ittees will meet then
organizationally at first and we'll set up a regular schedule of activities.
They are wsunshine comaitteesw and have to be noticed to the press.
DAOUD: Pine. All right, we'll. take ... What .1 '11 do is request that you
tell me which committees you would like to serve on.
COMMISSION MINUTES - 1/22/86
page S3
I"'""'
/"'""
RESNICK: Just a minute. Before we go ahead, 1 would like to mention that my
item, a-9M, which is called the improved department operations, is some way
related to this, was what Mr. Parkins had brought up.
rrBII a-911 DISCDBSIOlI RllCaRDIRG x.1OVJID DBPARIlJl!llh.aL mmwn~.
AerIeR I Commissioner Resnick suggested that Commissioner. be a.sig~ed as
liaison to overs.. functions of vadous Ci ty departments.
Commissioner Singer suggested that such would be contrary to City
Manager/Commission form of government and that formulation/usage
of COIIIIission COIIIIlittees (R-8B) would accOllpUsh desired effect.
Mayor Daoud suggested Comaissioner Resnick meet with City
Attorney regarding his proposal, and asked City Attorney to
submit report and recommendation for 2/5/86 meeting.
DAOOJ): All right, do you want to bring that up?
RESNICK: Yes, I would like to .ee how ,.. can combine that. My ieSea was to
have each Cc.lissioner take certain responsibility for 8CIIe of the
depart:slents rather than to have COIIIIIli ttees, because I feel COBIi ttees are
good soaetiJles, but ~i ttees are sOlll8tiDles also a waste of tiJle in the
sense that they tie up staff and it takes thea quite a 10ft9 tiM to COIle up
with some solutions. 1 felt that maybe each C~issioner, if he would be in
charge of SOlll8 department, he would be able to look in and to see 80IIle
deficiencies and cc.e up with 8ClIIe rec~ndations and then maybe bring it up
before a co.aittee. So, _ybe we can find 80M lIiddle roadway for cc.bining
ll-D and a-9II.
SR~~r: Mr. Mayor. DAOUD: Commissioner Shockett.
SROCKBT'l': Yes, I'll not sure 1 understand what is meant by -taking charge of
a department-, number one. This list, this suggested list of committees f.R-
88), I think, is an excellent idea and it kind of like tracks what the County
does. Por instance, the Convention Center Wxpansion we ..t with C~issioner
Redford and his COIIIIi tt... They did all the leg work that had to be done for
COIIIIission action and these co.Iittees here are for leg work for COIBission
action as opposed to the function of the City adIIinistration through the
various departments. So, 1 think that, one, just because we're talking about
co_i ttee. , 1 think it's totally separate and apart frCII the issues that are
raised by Con.issioner Resnick because these are things that a C~issioner
does. A Co..issioner, if there are three, a chairman and two co..i ttee
members, a lot of time that's taken up at a COIBission .eting w,ill be
avoided and this, again, goes to the legislative function of the City, which
is our function. So, 1 would Uke to address this separately and then hear
in more detail what Commissioner Resnick is talking about in terms of -taking
charge of a department- and having a COIBissioner responsible or looking into
the operation of a departJlent. We approved today, on the agenda, the Touche
Ross data acquisition, whatever you want to call that, because that is what
is necessary to analyze, or properly analyze, whether departments are
functioning properly and 8OonOllically and whether they need to be COIIbined,
or duplication of work and services. So, 1 think that's separate and 1 would
... The only suggestion 1 have on this Ust, and 1 would volunteer for
another C08Iittee as well, is that the Pinance Committee also include the
Ci ty Attorney (R-88) because you're talking about Bond Counsel COIIIIi ttee,
which is definitely legal-related. So, 1 would suggest that the City
Attorney also be included in that co.ai ttee. 1 would like to be part of
cOllllittee three, the Land Ose and Development COIIIIIittee. (1l-88)
SINGER: Why don't we do this as far as that, the sheet that we got handed
out, I'm just putting my name on the top of it and circling the two that I'm
interested in and giving it to Mayor Daoud.
SROCKBT'l': Well, everybody may want to be on the SaM co_ittee, so I think
it's worthy ...
SINGER: Should we work it out now at the table? Is that what you want to
do?

certainly a City Attorney m_ber would be assignee! aa a staff penon when
required.
SINGER: Something else I would like to say along the line of ec..issioner
Resnick's proposal. What I think you're proposing is similar to what
governments that are Commission form of governments, that aren't City
Manager-City COIIIIIlissioner form of governMnts, have. When you have just a
Commission form of government, sometimes they even get elected to a title of
like Commissioner of AgricUlture or Commissioner of this, or once they become
a Commissioner, they are as.igneeS specific duties with regard to certain
departlMnu. But I've never eeen that type of propoaal in a city Manager-
City eos.laaion form of government and I raally think what you're looking to
accompliah will be accomplisheeS through thie organization that we're forming.
I juat can't imagine myself being in charge of the Recreation Department.
RESNICIt: Just a minute. We saw right now an example with C08Iissioner Ben
Grenald and he did a marvelous jOb in the Cleanathon.
SINGER:
He doesn't have to be in charge of Sanitation to
. . .
RESNICK: Just a minute. But he knows exactly how this department is
functioning and he haa his heart in that and I know that he is doing a good
job and I don't see why he shouldn't in the future be one to take charge of
thia . . . I don't .an .char,e. in the aenee of beincJ fullti_ there or
anything, but in certain waya auperviae the depart_nt and know actually
what's going on in the department. 1 think this would be helpful and I think
our City Manager would be grateful to us if we are going to be helpful in
this sense and look into some different deparbMnts and the functioning of
the departments.
DAOUD:
I think what
. . .
SINGER: I don't think the City Manager would be grateful...
RESNICK: Why not?
SINGER: ... because what it does is puts i~ another layer of bureaucracy ...
RESNICK: No.
SINGER: that really those depart.ent heads are responsible to hill and
he's responsible to us. If you do it your way, then the department heads are
going to be responsible to us ...
RESNICK: No, no, no, no, no.
SINGER: . . . and we're going to COIle in between hill and the (unclear,
overlap)
DAOUD: Bold on, I think what CODIissioner Resnick is ...
RESNICK: It's a misunderstanding.
DAOUD: If I ... I think what he's trying to say is in the form of a liaison.
In other words ...
RESNICK: Right.
DAOUD: ... we have liaison's for various other areas, such as construction.
RESNICK: Yes.

(b) Lease: The lease of City property shall mean any right
to lease City property by way of agreement, irrespective of

SBeTtOR 3.
In order for the City Commission and the public to be fully
apprised of all conditions relating to the proposed sale and/or
lease, the Planning Department shall prepare an analysis using the
following criteria:
1. Whether or not the proposed use is in keeping
with city goals and objective. and conform. to
the City comprehensive plan.
2. The impact on adjacent property, including the
potential positive or negative impacts such as
diminution of open space, increased traffic,
noise level or enhanced property values,
improved development patterns and provision of
necessary services. Based on the proposed use
of the property, the City shall determine the
potential impact of the project on City
utilities and other infrastructure needs and
the magnitude of costs associated with needed
infrastructure improvements. Should it become
apparent that further evaluation of traffic
impact is needed, the proponent shall be
responsible for obtaining' a traffic impact
analysis from a reputable traffic engineer.
3. A determination as to whether or not the
proposed use is in keeping with a public
purpose and community needs, such as expanding
the City'S revenue base, reducing City costs,
creating jobs, creating a significant revenue
stream and improving the community's overall
quality of life.
4. Determination as to whether or not the
development is in keeping with the surrounding
neighborhood, will block views, or create
other environmental intrusions, and evaluation

of the design and aesthetic considerations of
the project.
5. The impact on adjacent properties, whether or
not there is adequate parking, street, and
infrastructure needs.

al ternati ves are available for the proposed
disposition, including assembly of adjacent
properties, and whether the project could be
accomplished under a private-ownership
assembly.

its disposition of property.
8. Such other issues as the Planning Department
may deem appropriate in analysis of the
proposed disposition.
S.OTIO" 4.

sale or lease shall comply with all requirements of State, County
and City laws and regulations. For any sale or lease of City
property there shall also be an independent appraisal of the fair
market or rental value of the property. The appraiser must be
experienced in determining a reasonable return for projects of a
public/private joint venture nature. Should the purchaser or
lessee be unwilling to pay the cost of such appraisal, then any
such cost may be deducted from a bid bond or similar deposit made
in a bid process. In regard to all leases of more than five (5)
years, including option periods, the conditions of this section 4,
and in regard to leases of five (5) years or less, including option
periods, the conditions of this section 4, and Section 2 above, may

8. North Shore Drive at south side of Fairway Drive
9. South Shore Drive at Ray Street
To. date, the City has experimentally closed the five (5) streets on Normandy
Isle, and the bridge on Biscayne Point. The closures to date are of a
temporary nature, and if made permanent will require a legislative policy,

recommended that the following policy be established:
Street closures will be limited to local residential streets (as
defined by the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials), and as provided by Florida State
Statutes. '
Consideration of street closures will require petitions outlining
the complete proposal, and signed by more than '096 of the
property owners affected.
(c~\rl1~S$10N
