Mlami Beach Code Section 2-481 to 2-485. If you just drop off plans and make appts and fill out forms, then you don't
have to register. If you start discussing code is~ues and process changes, then you have to register. When it comes to
fire plan review and discussion, I had given direction to ;.taff a long time ago to discuss only with AOR or EOR anyway.

Apparently, the plans have a glitch on the scope of work so the architect needs to describe cle<~rly the scope of
work for a proper review.
Let me take this opportunity to let you know that we ar ~ starting to enforce the lobbyist law and regulations
that we were not aware of in the past Therefore, eve;vone, e)(cept the architect and engineer, needs to
register as a lobbyist specifically for this project in orde·· to discuss this project with me, Jorge, or any plans
ro:aminer. Please bring a copy of your registration form to future meetings.
