PROfESSIOAAL ASSO(IAI1011
December 28, 2010
Sent via COURIER to:
Mr. Robert Parcher, City Clerk
Attention: Sylvia Prieto
City of Miami Beach
Office of the City Clerk
1700 Convention Center Drive
Miami Beach, Florida 33139
Dear Mr. Parcher:
Enclosed please find the lobbyist registration form previously submitted without the
principal's signature being notarized. It has now been notarized. Also enclosed is our check
for full registration fees of $850.00.
As you know, I had a discussion with your staff regarding paragraph III, City
Agencies /Individuals To Be Lobbied on page 1 of the registration form, and the chart
underneath paragraph III. In my professional judgment, to fill anything out in that chart
other than "None" would be a misleading misrepresentation. Paragraph III specifically deals
with appearances of impropriety, conflict, etc.
In the spirit of responding to the question posed by your staff, I represent to you that I have
no conflicts, etc., but I do intend to be lobbying the City Manager and the City Commission.
Anything filled out in the chart under paragraph 111 would just be a misrepresentation.
Thank you very much, and I apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused your office.
Sin :rely,
-. -P 2000"

Subject: Lobbyists Registration Form
Raul: We have a lobbyists insisting that item III of the Lobbyists Registration form is not correct See attached
form.
Ill. CITY AGENCIES /INDIVIDUALS TO BE LOBBIED: Pursuant to City Code Section 2- 482(g) include a
statement of the extent of any business, financial, familial, professional or other relationship, giving rise to an appearance of an
impropriety with any City personnel sought to be lobbied -- further, pursuant to City Code Section 2- 482(a)(4) include a statement of
any contractual relationship (paid or unpaid) from 12 months preceding said City personnel' commencement.
A) Full Name of Individual /Title B) Any Financial, Familial or Professional Relationship
Usually part (A) is for listing the individuals to be lobbied and part (B) can be left blank or checked "none" if not
applicable.
He is an attorney and interprets Section III as disclosing a financial relationship which he will not do. He said that
the title CITYAGENCIES /INDIVIDUALS TO BE LOBBIED is not what this paragraphs says. He will send a 1
separate letter disclosing the people he will be lobbying.
Thankyou for your help and have a Happy New Year:
