<br />County residents who relish
<br />a thriving, vibrant commu-
<br />nity," Alvarcz said in a state-
<br />ment.
<br />Supporters said the
<br />school, though centered at
<br />FlU, will have {acilities in
<br />other communities and serve
<br />patients throughout the
<br />county.
<br />County Manager George
<br />Burgess said the bond's inter-
<br />est should generally be
<br />reserved for the Building Bet~
<br />ter Communities projects
<br />approved by voters in 2004,
<br />Rising costs will likely
<br />require more than the $2.9
<br />billion already approved.
<br />,." "My recommendation
<br />generally speaking is not to
<br />use the interest at all , . . to
<br />! leave it there:' Burgess said.
<br />He said flU's request was
<br />; uniquely timely as state lead-
<br />= ers debate the medical
<br />school's future.
<br />. He carefully avoided tak.
<br />~ ing a firm position {or or
<br />! against the grant.
<br />. He said the administration
<br />~ would develop a tighter pro-
<br />
<br />
<br />cess for reporting and spend-
<br />ing the interest.
<br />The manager's words did
<br />little to placllte Rolle.
<br />"You sprinkle sugar on top
<br />ol manure and call it candy:'
<br />he said.
<br />Two years ago, a difierent
<br />financial wrinkle in the bond
<br />program was tapped by Com-
<br />missioner Bruno Barreiro to
<br />spend $8 million on a project
<br />in Miami Beach.
<br />Rolle made similar objec-
<br />tions at the time,
<br />"I just don't think it's fair
<br />that on two occasions, the
<br />dollars have Howed out and
<br />nobody knew about it but
<br />staff and the person who
<br />made the resolution," said
<br />Rolle,
<br />Rolle wants to close a
<br />$5 million to $10 million gap
<br />on a new police station in his
<br />inner-city district.
<br />FlU had a head start
<br />because its associate vice
<br />president for real estate
<br />development and planning,
<br />Charles Scurr, worked on 3
<br />previous bond issue.
<br />
<br />He was aware there would
<br />be interest.
<br />"It always helps to be
<br />early in the game:' Maidique
<br />said.
<br />Commissioner Audrey
<br />Edmonson, who earlier
<br />opposed the grant, said Mai~
<br />dique convinced her it was
<br />key for her alma mater.
<br />As the debate ended, Rolle
<br />raised the rhetorical temper-
<br />ature.
<br />"This is not just a 'no: " he
<br />said. "It's a black no."
<br />Responded Martinez, a
<br />former policeman: "I was in
<br />central district - I worked
<br />there, Commissioner Rolle,
<br />before you ever thought of
<br />being a commissioner."
<br />Barreiro, the chairman,
<br />quickly ended the discussion.
<br />The question of how to
<br />spend the interest - about
<br />$5 million still remains, and
<br />millions more could be gen-
<br />erated later - struck at the
<br />deeper issue of whether com-
<br />missioners should primarily
<br />serve their district or the
<br />community at large.
