Action: %4ayor Edelcup read the State of the City Address into the record. He noted that this will be his last formal State of the City message, and his last words as your Mayor will come in a final statement in late November when he will pass the gavel to the newly elected Mayor ofthe City. He reviewed the significant events that took place in 2013. and said that the state of the City's government operations and financial condition is very stable and strong. Our millage rate of 2.700 per S1,000 of taxable value represents a decrease by 3.5% from last fiscal year. The eeneral fund operating budget for 2013/2014 is S42.9 Million. a slight increase over the prior year. In that S42.9 A4il lion there is approximately S1 J Million at this writing that was going to be used for reserves but will now be approximately Sl 5 \4illion as a result of finishing our Audit this year. We are quickly coming up to the goal that we set a couple of years ago of haying some Sl 7 Million of reserve funds. SIO Million of which are set aside for hurricanes or catastrophes and the other hopefully $7 Million will be used for general purposes and reserves. [City Clerk's Note A9cryor Edelcup announced that Student Council President Timothy Brvd cn,rired and he joined the Commission at the dais. City Clerk Hines called him in on roll cull. j 5B. Presentation of the Cite of Sunny Isles Beach Audit Report for Fiscal Year 2012/2013. Action. Finance Director Audra Curts-Whann introduced Cindy Calvert, the partner on engagement from the firm of Keefe. McCullough & Co. LLP, who provided the Commission with a brief presentation of the City's Financials noting that based on their audit. they provided an unmodified opinion which is the highest level of assurance that they can give. She said they also evaluated the presentation of the basic Financial Statements and believe that they incorporate everything necessary to obtain the Government Finance Officers' Association Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. They also issued two (2) separate compliance reports, one was in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and in that report they addressed two (2) vital functions of the City. The first is the internal control over Financial Reporting, there was no matter that they considered to be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. Secondly was a report on compliance and there were no instances of non-compliance. They also issued a report that addresses the Federal and State Single Audit Act. The City complied in all material respects that the 2 Summarc Minutes: Regular Cin• Commission \leetine January 16. 2014 Cine of Sunny Isles Beach. Florida compliance requirements are applicable to the City's major programs. Again this year, your major program was several forfeitures, and you had expenditures of approximately $490,000. She noted that this year with the new Finance team leadership she had doubts that they would be able to get the Audit to them in January. however. Finance Director Audra Curls-Whann and Assistant Finance Director Tiffany Neely -Jean and the rest of the Finance Department were able to get them everything they needed in order to start the Audit the second week of November. Thev worked long hours with us through December doing our field work, and the beginning of January finalizing the statements. disclosures, and presentations. Their hard work paid off and the City received Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 2013 Financial Statements. This distinguished award would not be possible without the dedication of the Finance Department and also the Commission's support of the City's attempt in achieving this award. Mayor Edelcup on behalf of the City Commission thanked Ms. Calvert and Finance Director Curls-Whann and her staff for doing a great job and for delivering the Audit in a very timeh manner. It is so great to hear a report like this that has no adverse comments and everything went well. He knows a lot of that is due to vour hard work and the hard work of our Finance team that came on the scenejust in time for the year end closing and he knows that was really a test and they performed outstandingly and you did as well. 5C. Presentation/Discussion regarding the 2014 Priorities of the Citv Adwisory Committee. Action: Mayor Edelcup noted our Chairperson Dana Goldman of the City Advisory Committee (CAC) is here. [C'ip, Clerk's ,Vote: CAC d9enJbers Howard Gordon, Shobha Arcrgaprasanna. and Jeniffer Viscarra are also in attendance.] This is basically an opportunity for our Commission to give some guidance if they choose so that the CAC has an idea of what we are expecting of them. At the same time it clarifies any communications that we would have to be able to make to the CAC at a public hearing because of the Sunshine Law and the only time we can do this is at a scheduled meeting. City Manager Russo mentioned a recent meeting he had with Dana Goldman to discuss the priorities. They went through the general four or five categories of the areas that we perceived as the priorities. Obviously one of the first ones was one of the issues that they have been working on and brought before the Commission previously and that has to do with communications. Communications in various respects or programming information. how we communicate with our community and try to get out the word on events and programs of the City. We will be back to the Commission with our report by the next meeting on the electronic signage issue. We have been spending a lot of time researching that, and Depuq City %4ana2er Stan Morris has been working very hard on this with Dana and following up on the items from the Committee. City \4anager Russo said the other issues we discussed is the Building Code as it relates not only to the 40 -year inspections which is a particularly big issue in this equation. but on the whole general issue. We will be moving forward on workshops that we originally planned on and it was a priority dealing with: what is a Building Code issue and what is a City issue versus what is related to condominium association rules and their requirement and the difference in how we deal with that. 3 Summare Minutes: Regular Cin Commission Meeting Januar 16. 2014 City of Sunny Isles Beach. Florida City Manager Russo said another issue that came up in our meeting and just speaking to the bigger categories of our discussion was an issue that dealt generally with a public safety issue. It was pretty much a pedestrian safety issue which we did say we were going to take up with the Police Chief. and see if there are some issues that we can at least clarify and possibly address over time. Nlayor Edelcup said in picking up on something you said, the transportation issue that may be something that can be added would be helping to form the bicycle path through the City. He knows that has become a hot topic item in the County particularly because of the accidents that have occurred on Key Biscayne. He knows from some residents that have come to visit him that they have had some problems here in their own City walking on the sidewalk and having bicyclists appear out of the blue behind them or even coming towards them. He thinks it will be helpful to add that as a topic that maybe the CAC can delve into and maybe give us some help in coming up of what would be the safest approach to having bicycles because the\, certainly will exist but have a safe route through the City. Mayor Edelcup said in picking up on something the City Manager said again. the role of the condos. Building Codes. and Code Enforcement in the Cite. There is a significant area of the City that has single family in it and perhaps we should also take an approach as to what the City's role is in residential neighborhoods as it relates again to Building Codes and also as to neighbor -to -neighbor issues. So that again, there is a special understanding in the community of what it is the City can and cannot do. not only at the condo level but even in the single—family home. He knows that former Commissioner Danny Iglesias lives in a townhouse area and so you are right in the middle of that exposure of quayside single family. quayside condo situations. It would be helpful if all the areas in our City got talked through as to what the role of our City is in each of those areas. Dana Goldman. Chairperson ofthe City Advisory Committee, said she is keenly interested in condominium issues because of the density ofour condominium population. Something that is near and dear to her heart personally and professionally. We anticipate inaugurating our condominium workshop series, and we would like to do it first on a quarterly basis. We have had some preliminary discussions with Building Official Clay Parker and his team as a start with the 40 -year certification but obviously we want to expand that. She said that she thinks it is a good recommendation to also incorporate residential single-family. One of the topics that was presented along the way by the CAC was rental type restrictions and rental occupancy. Maybe we can tack that on and start in that area, and obviously if it gets bigger we can talk about a different venue. But in where we conduct our meetings and start them on a quarterly basis and see how it goes. If it becomes something that is popular and well attended then we can do it on a bi-monthly basis. Commissioner Scholl said he is following in the Mayor's footsteps in this one is that there seems to be a lot of ambiguity about where the City's authority begins and ends, and it is very circumstantial because when somebody has a problem they want us to have authority. \Vhen they are not haying a problem they don`t want us to have authority. Or we are exercising authority and they feel the\, don't have a problem, it is a different situation. He thinks it is great that the CAC gets involved in these things and kind of slices and dices a lot of them because you are more grass roots in some ways and can help bridge that gap a little 4 Summar Minutes- Reeular Cit' commission Meetine Januar 16. 2014 City of Sunnv Isles Beach. Florida bit. But he knows that with his own neighbors the rental issue is a big deal, they really feel that we should have Code Enforcement people knocking on people's doors and proving whether they live there or not. When someone says it is my cousin or uncle whatever, you know they are going to lie and so this is a big issue. He is sure it is a bie issue in the condominiums as well, you know, when you have rules in the condos. But where does our authority begin and end, and where do our residents want our authority to begin and end because we may have authority sometimes that folks don't want us to exercise it. He has been very impressed with the work the CAC is doing. He thinks the CAC in general under Dana's leadership and the makeup that is there now, that they are getting some traction which is great and he knows it is not easy. Chairperson Goldman asked if it is an issue that citizens. condo unit owners come to you and say solve this problem and you can't solve the problem because it is an issue for another agency and they come back and if you are not in compliance, they don't have jurisdiction or because it is not an arbitrate, is that kind of what you are saying? Commissioner Scholl said exactly. sometimes we can prevent the problem if we follow our LDRs and we are careful when we are approving these projects. People will get aggravated over parking in a condo situation, they come to us and say why can't you fix our parking. Well, we shouldn't be approving buildings that have marginal or inadequate parking and so he thinks that we are well aware of that now. We are much more cognizant of that and the greatest example of that is LaPerla because LaPerla was approved and basically it should not have been approved that way. The policy at the time allowed it to be approved and it has been a nightmare ever since for those residents. Then they come back to us and say this was presented this way, why can't you make it go away? We don't own that park and there are reasons we can't do that. We have worked with LaPerla very closely and so a lot of times we try but we don't have the authority to effectuate the change that people are looking for. Chairperson Goldman asked when you feel these inquiries is there somebody in the City that actually gets them, or is there some repository, is there some person those calls go to or is it just kind of diffused and we don't really know? Commissioner Scholl said the City Manager usually gets them. Mayor Edelcup said generally they start by calling the \Mayor or one of the Commissioners. and then it may get referred to the City Manager or the City Attorney depending upon the issue. Sometimes it is one of those issues, again, that the City can't resolve. It may be a dispute between two neighbors that they want the City to take some son of Police action which Nye are not capable of doing but the residents don't understand that, they think that is what we are here for. So we have to sit down with them and explain to them what our role is in those kinds of situations. Sometimes they may have to seek their own attorneys if they have a dispute rather then expect the City to intervene on somebody's behalf. On something that Commission Scholl said. when we approved those early projects there was not enough parking in the buildings and that message got through to us and we changed our Ordinance to provide for requiring two (2) parking spaces where in the past it was 1 '/ spaces. If the CAC had been involved in it he thinks we would have been hearing it through you. There may be things that we get through you that again gives us rise to review our Building Codes and make appropriate changes. Commissioner Scholl said how he is coming at it is that even though we may not have authority over something doesn't mean that it shouldn't get voiced for it where you see a Summan, Minutes: Regular CinCommission Weting January 16. 2014 City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida theme, we need to hear about it. He thinks that the CAC has that benefit of being almost closer to the grass roots then we are at times. As the Mayor said, parking is a great example where we actually modified our Code. Although we don't have jurisdiction over parking in the old buildings but we modified our Code to prevent the problem in the future and will never allow a park to be a central point of access to a building. Vice \flavor Aelion said historically the CAC has had the traffic committee and the density shows our City is growing. Collins Avenue is not getting wider, and there are several impacts that will definitely occur. This is somethinu that he assumes one of the subcommittees is actively addressing. or it is something that you want to create and look into. He has noted that they have put a crosswalk with blinking lights on the Shell gas station crossing. The light turns going southbound on Collins into the westbound Causeway Bridge, sometimes the view is hampered and it happened to him. A lady with a baby cart made the crossing and he saw them at the last minute but this is something that has to get addressed or perhaps the City Manager can take a look at it. Commissioner Gatto said the condo situation is a gray area. She gets tons of phone calls because her building is going through the 40 -year inspection process now. It is interesting because they don't understand to a large degree that it is the State that is dictating it but the City stewards it basically. Clay Parker's group is responsible for getting all the permitting through, and getting the ball rolling. etc.. and so we are caught in the middle. It is very hard to define what the City's role is and isn't because people in their mind know there is balcony restoration they need to pay for, and they are asking why is the City making us do this. etc. We have to explain to them that it is not the City per se, but it is the City's job to steward the process. That is something that would be very helpful to emphasize to the residents. \9ayor Edelcup said he thinks what you are hearing leads to the point that it would be wonderful if the CAC could eventually come up with a "White Paper" or a published document that we could mail out to all our residents that defines the City's role in multi- family districts as well as single-family districts. The results will only help educate our public if it would come in a written document that they can refer to. City Attorney Ottinot added that last year he and Deputy City Attorney Fernando Amuchastegui gave a presentation on the Sunshine Law and the Ethics Code of \4iami-Dade County. the State, and also public records. At least we have seven new members and generally we want to give them those parameters. Vice \favor Aelion said maybe they can be involved in the landscaping in our public areas when they feel they should have a subcommittee for that. Lukes' Landscaping actually changed the flora around the City and it would be a good thing for you, your opinion is also relevant to place the correct plants, etc. 6. ZONING: ZONING HEARINGS ARE QUASI-JUDICIAL PUBLIC HEARINGS. None L SummaryMinutes: Regular city Commission Meeting Januar. 16. 2014 Cin- of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 7. ORDINANCES FOR FIRST READING 7A. Add -On: An Ordinance of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Florida, Amending Chapter 74 of the City Code of Ordinances Commonly Known as the "Rules of Procedure" Ordinance; Providing for Repealer; Providing for Severability; Providing for Inclusion in the Code: Providing for an Effective Date. Action: [City Clerk's Note: This item was distributed prior to the meeting. See additional action under Item 4A.] City Clerk Hines read the title, and City Attorney Ottinot reported that the purpose of this Ordinance is to codify the practice of holding an agenda review Workshop on the Tuesday preceding the regular Commission meeting. This Ordinance was requested at Tuesday's Workshop by members of the Commission present at the Workshop. Public Speakers: None Mayor Edelcup said as background to the public, generally the Commission has met the Tuesday before the formal Commission meeting to have an agenda review of items on that agenda. The idea was instead of City staff visiting with each of us separately under the Sunshine Law, they could meet with LIS collectively in a Workshop to review the agenda items for the forthcoming Commission meeting thereby ease the toll of the City staff in having to repeat themselves five times for each Commissioner and doing it in one hour instead of five or six hours. That is how the workshops started out and gradually over time items other than the agenda got added to the workshop and this led to a problem because those items generally were not noticed to the public. Even though the workshop was a public meeting it really didn't have the same impact as a general Commission meeting in the eyes of the public. Also some of the Commissioners felt that they were not necessarily obligated to attend those meetings unless they had a specific question that they wanted to get answered, and so it was kind of a voluntary situation where some of the Commissioners would be at the workshop and some of them wouldn't. As these other items started to be added to the agenda. it came to us this past Commission meeting that probably this was not a fair way to handle things because these items that were being discussed at the workshop didn't have the input necessarily of all the Commissioners because they were not aware that those items were going to be discussed. It became obvious that maybe we should have a discussion to determine if we should just limit our workshops on the Tuesday preceding the Commission meeting to just the agenda items. Which is not to say we couldn't have other workshops but they would have to be separately declared and the public would have the opportunity to know that they were taking place. What we are having here tonight is a discussion on if we should continue having the agenda workshop and limit it strictly to the agenda items. All other items would be presented at the regular Commission meeting as a discussion item or not have the agenda meeting. Commissioner Scholl said what is interesting about being a Commissioner is that a lot of times the perception of how we do things and how things actually get done are not always in synch. The agenda workshop is something he vetoed many years ago, he never attends the agenda review workshops because he has always been concerned about this issue. It is kind of like. in the computer world we call it "Scope Creep" which means that you create a scope for something and then it creeps, it kind of gets broader and broader. The thing he didn't like h Summarc Minmes: Regular City Commission Meeting January 16. 2014 Cinof Sunny Isles Beach. Florida about the workshop was that he really thought that we were thwarting the debate in front of the public on the dais because it is pretty convenient to sit in a room when the public is not watching and the cameras aren't rolling and the newspaper reporter is not sitting there and voice your opinion a certain way. But when you get up here and the cameras are rolling, the newspaper reporter is there and the public is watching on television. all of a sudden you may not be so inclined to voice your opinion or to argue with your colleagues in front of others. A long time ago he said he was not doing these workshops and he doesn't really agree with these workshops and so if you want them great; but in the meantime you are going to have them without him. Now we have an Ordinance that says we want to have a workshop but we want to legislate our behavior when we are in the workshops, which is silly in his opinion. You either have the workshops and they are fair game and the public will have to realize that if they really want to get a beat on everything that is going on they have got to go to two meetings. one on Tuesday and one on Thursday, or you don't have the workshops. Frankly it is the role of staff to answer our questions and it is pretty simple. You read your book and if you have questions you call the City IManager or City Attorney or one of the staff members and you get your questions answered. He does not believe we have to have that meeting and have to have us together to answer those questions together. Unfortunately. he believes it morphed into something which he expected would morph in time which was inappropriate. It was legal but it was not appropriate because the public expects us to get up here and voice our opinions on these things and a lot of times a lot of these issues get tidied up in the workshop before they ever come to this meeting that is really well documented and given proper access to the public. He thinks we should do away with the workshops because he does not think they are necessary. City Attorney Ottinot noted for the record that the zoning matters are not discussed in these workshops. Commissioner Levin said she agrees with Commissioner Scholl. and she agrees that we should discuss these things openly with the public at these meetings and for the most part the items she finds in the agendas are not all that difficult and she does not have a problem picking up a phone and asking somebody if she has a question or perhaps it can be handled in some other manner whereby everybody could have a set time to meet with whoever they need to meet with the Tuesday before rather than have a meeting all together at the workshop. The way it is worded here is that if the workshops were to continue you could not discuss any items at the workshop unless it was on the regular agenda for Thursday's meeting. There is nothing to say that anyone couldn't put something on the agenda for Thursday, discuss it at the workshop, and then take it off of the agenda for the Thursday meeting and so it would never be heard. Vice Nlayor Aelion said in the last four years he has attended most of the workshops and he has found them practical from a conducive of having housekeeping matters addressed and he thinks it would take extra time in a regular Commission meeting. We also addressed at the last workshop the comparative look of the cities that do not have workshops and we heard those adjacent cities stay until sometimes midnight or 1:00 a.m. He sees the practical side of haying the workshops, it is not a necessity but it is conducive to good government and practicality in the execution of our duty. He does not see anything negative in it, it is a public meeting, and everything is recorded. 8 Summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting January 16. 2014 City of Sunny Isles Beach. Florida Commissioner Gatto said she was leaning towards not having the workshops because the resolutions are easy to understand and are not complicated. If we are spending money on something that needs to set done in the City it is laid out and easy to understand. If we have a zoning issue we are not allowed to speak about it. It is really dealing with ordinances and it is a very, easy thing to pick up the phone and call the City Attorney and/or the City Manager to discuss the ordinance. If we do end up having the workshops, she likes the idea of being able to discuss ancillary items in a legal environment. It is something we rarely get to do and she sees no reason to take that away. To recap, primarily she doesn't see a need for the Tuesday workshop meetings however if we do proceed with them. she does not support this. She feels it is important that we get the opportunity not to tie our hands. and to continue discussing the housekeeping issues or any other items. Mayor Edelcup said he is in the middle of this debate as he does not think we need this Ordinance but he does think we need workshops. The workshops do save time for staff in that they don't have to repeat themselves over and over again. The workshops have also shown that sometimes at the workshop a discussion item will come up that one Commissioner will pick up on what another Commissioner has said and were able to improve the resolution or ordinance by Thursday's meeting. He understands Commissioner Scholl's comment that he preferred to have the full debate to take place at the regularh scheduled Commission meeting but there is nothing to prevent that from happening at the Thursday Commission meeting-. If it is still something that is a contested item and/or the Commissioner chooses to have his or her comments on the record as to why he or she may be against or in favor of particular issue. He doesn't think the mere fact of having a workshop denigrates the Commission meeting-. And so his recommendation would be not to pass this Ordinance and continue to have workshops which we will be able to do because even if we defeat this Ordinance. any Commissioner can ask for a workshop. He thinks the Ordinance should be defeated and that wejust continue to have the workshops as long as the majority of Commission feels that there is some good to be rained by it. Commissioner Levin asked City Attorney Ottinot if any Commissioner can call for a workshop at any time. and City Attorney Ottinot said ves, legally any Commissionercan call for a workshop. Commissioner Scholl said the Charter has rules about the Commission's attendance at regular meetings. Citv Attorney Ottinot stated that under the law no votes can be taken, therefore that is why any Commissioner can call and meet. Commissioner Scholl said this is all about public disclosure because we all have strong opinions and when you get in a room tosether and your opinions comes out and they don't get voiced in front of the public like they should in his opinion, and that is his issue. Commissioner Scholl moved and Vice Mayor Aelion seconded a motion to withdraw this ordinance. The motion was approved by a roll call vote of -0 in favor of withdrawing this ordinance. Vote: Commissioner Gatto ves Commissioner Levin ves Commissioner Scholl ves Vice Mayor Aelion ves Iv9ayor Edelcup ves summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting January 16. 2014 City of sunny Isles Beach. Florida Mayor Edelcup said until further notice we will have a workshop on Tuesday preceding the regularly scheduled Commission meeting for those of the Commission and public who choose to attend, at which time no votes will ever be taken. Vice Mayor Aelion added that no zoning items will ever be heard at a workshop. City Attorney Ottinot said attendance is voluntary as Commissioner Scholl indicated. Mayor Edelcup said if you are going to have an add-on. it should be out there far enough in advance so that the public can know that there is an item for discussion as a courtesy to the public. If you bring it up at the workshop, he thinks it is only fair that you defer it to the neat workshop to alloy everyone to have the opportunity to be present. Again, it would not be fair if a Commissioner comes in to discuss an entire different topic and it is an important topic. Commissioner Scholl said there have been add-on items at every meeting. Former Vice Mayor Lewis Thaler used to come in with a laundry list of items at the end of each meeting. Mayor Edelcup noted that a lot of those werejust to check up with what was happening with the City Manager. That is really what those items were meant to be. and unfortunately it crept to the point where eye are here tonight trying to clarify it. What we are trying to do is to take a step back and go back to what the original intent was. 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Other than Ordinances for Second Reading) None 9.

Action: City Clerk Hines read the title. and Assistant City Manager Bill Evans reported. Public Speakers: None Commissioner Gatto said a lot of the buildings in Winston Towers are going through their 40 -near inspections. and their building is starting which means it will be necessary to park a bunch of cars on the street. Are you going to be able to manage that with a lot of traffic and cars parked on the street? Assistant City Manager Evans said we will be phasing the work. we are not going to shut the road down completely. The first order of business will be to get all the underground work done which would be primarily the drainage and that would be inside lane work. We will be shutting a lane down in each direction which would limit some of the parking but we would do it by a block -by -block section. It does not mean that there will not be street parking but it does mean they may have to walk a little further than normal but they will do the best they can to accommodate street parking. Vice Mayor Aelion asked what is the time span for this project? Assistant City \Manager Evans said we are getting into design now and we want to be out to bid by late summer and get working on the project. But to give you a time period, he wants to say around 180 days or nine months but it may take as much as a year to get it done. We are in the investigative phase of it right now and we don't know how much pipe we need; or how much paying we need. He could generalize but he wants to be more specific when he gives an answer.

DISCUSSION ITEMS Atone 13. CITIZENS' FORUM: REQUESTS, PETITIONS S OTHER CONIMUNICATIONS 13A. Mr. Alex Amselem said he is currently and has been for the last ovo years the President of Arlen House East. He said he has been on the Board of Directors for the past four (4) years representing approximately 600 units. 1.200 residents. Several years ago the Cite and their Association entered into an Easement Agreement whereby the Association provided the City a Landscape Easement for the beautification of the south entrance to the City. Over the course of negotiations of the easement it was the Association's good faith understanding that the City would consult with the Association on all aspects of this project. They relied on that commitment to ensure that the beautification project would welcome the Association's comments and suggestions. None of the .Association's suggestions have been taken into account with respect to the project, especially their main request relating to the architectural aspect of the wall that is going to be put up along Collins Avenue in front of their building. Recently the Association was advised that the project was close to design completion. The .Association welcomes a cooperative relationship with the City and respectfully requests that the wall matches the architectural integrity of their building. Arlen House was desiened by the same architect that designed the Fontainebleau Hilton; Morris Lapidus. They would like to see some resemblance and connection to their building as maybe the Sunny Isles Beach City Hall with its beautiful mosaic tile and modern architecture. He hopes to meet with City representatives in hope that the Association's concerns and suggestions if not accepted can at least be discussed in a cooperative setting before 100% completion of the design. Public Speakers: Ales Amselem; Roslyn Brezin; Freddie Vivas Mayor Edelcup said the wall in front of the Arlen House property is a continuation of the Intracoastal wall which was presented to the Arlen House people when the easement was obtained. That would be continuing that coral rock plus concrete block look from the entrance of the City at Haulover all the way through to Sunny Isles Boulevard so that we would have an integral look on Collins Avenue from one end to the other. It was certainly not our intent to design a wall in front of each private property to look like that private property but it was to have a common wall which was presented four or five years ago. Former Commissioner Brezin was on the Commission at that time and led that effort. Please feel free to have a discussion with our City Manager and wherever he can accommodate you with the fact that the Commission has already approved the look for that wall and we need to stay with that look because we can't go changing each segment of that wall. Mayor Edelcup said we have already made our decision of how it was going to look and that is where he wants to stay. and that is what the easement that has already been granted to us 15 Summary Minutes: Regular CinCommission Meeting January 16. 2014 City of Sunny Isles Beach. Florida provides for. It does not provide for you to come in at a later date and change the design of the wall. Mr. Amselem said then in other words what you are telling me is that we gave an easement to the City and we have no input as to what happens in front of our building. Mayor Edelcup said you had the input at that meeting. and you didn't have to give the easement at that point if you disagreed. ivir. Amselem said the project was not presented accordingly and they have talked to the City Manager many times requesting that the Commission hear their position. Mayor Edelcup said if we have an easement from you that we legally have we will proceed with the wall that we have designed, if we don't have a legal easement then we won't do anything there. Mr. Amselem said they will continue further and discuss it with their membership to make sure they understand that. Vice Mayor Aelion asked if they had a rendering of how it would look with the consistency that the Commission at the time passed compared to the rendering. and he understands that the issue is a coral wall. City Manager Russo said when Mr. Amselem came to him, he understood and believed even'thing he said about what had transpired. City Manager Russo said several months ago he brought the whole issue with the plans that were developed back to the Commission and we signed off on the design that they have now. not the oriuinal commitments that Mr. Amselem said were made to them. We are now ready to go out to bid with the plans. We recently had another meeting where we went through everything again as Mr. Amselem is doing here, and he is going to take it a step further. As much as they were never fully happy with the whole direction of it, we did have a discussion about what he could possibly bring back to the Commission at this late point since he did bring the whole issue back to the Commission when this was all discussed with him and prior to us getting to this point with the plans that we are just about ready to go out to bid with. We had a discussion in our recent meeting that one of the areas that he could possibly bring back to this Commission was the color of the coral stone. They wanted a more contemporary look, and he was willing to entertain that in terms of a lighter color. Vice Mayor Aelion said a concern to the fact that we have entrances to the City that is the southern entrance to the City and so could that be because we are talking with an architectural opinion notjust to a residential opinion that he thought should be given some weight. City Manager Russo said we can deal with the stone at this point but he cannot deal with redesigning it. Mr. Amselem said they don't like the coral and they don't think an organization look has to match all along Collins Avenue. We were not included in the design aspect of the wall. We were told that this is what we are doing and we reached out to the City a few times and requested to change the mind of the City because we were not happy with it. Everything that was presented to us and every time we met, we were given some sort of hope but never finalized and that is why he is here today because for a City to design something without its residents that are giving an easement he finds that to be unacceptable. Commissioner Scholl asked when it came back before us was the Arlen House noticed? City Manager Russo said some of them are here. Mr. Amselem said he has not been invited to come in and speak. Mayor Edelcup said our City Manager has tried to work a compromise with you and he suggests again to meet with the City Manager and try to reach that compromise. When we designed that whole concept of the Intracoastal Parks System it was to create a unified look from Haulover all the way to Sunny Isles Boulevard. That unified look was a complement of coral rock plus the white wall and with the lighting effects that E Summan• Minutes: Regular Ciny Commission Meeting Januan.16, 201 Cin or Sunnv Isles Beach. Florida went along with it and 99% of that has been completed. Now .we are sitting here with this one little segment at a very late date. Mr. Amselem said they are not really asking for design change. what they are asking for is instead of having coral rock that does not match the building. The City signs that we have right now that are blue and green does not match the coral, they match City Hall. What they would like to do is to figure out a way for both of those designs. the City Hall's presence at the beginning of Sunny Isles Beach with the mosaic tile would be a better beautification of the entrance.. Mr. Amselem said you are authorizing him to continue discussion with the City Manager but who is going to be making the decision? Mayor Edelcup said the decision has been made by this Commission as there was a meeting, and there was apparently a consensus because otherwise we would not have an easement. Former Commissioner Roslyn Brezin said there were several meetings held. She noted that there was a different President at the Arlen House at the time we obtained the easement. Mr. Amselem noted that he was however on the Board of Directors. Former Commissioner Brezin said she had several meetings in her office with the President of the Arlen House East pertaining to the easement and to what would take place. At the time that we obtained the easement. there was nothing presented by your Board, by you or by your President of a rendering showing that you had wanted another color. There was a unity between our Commissioners. City Manager, and the President of your organization. They did agree that there was a tentative rendering that was presented, and that original rendering that was presented was part of the City Landscaping drawing. The one objection that she was faced with at the meeting in her office was they were afraid that their security was at stake because that wall is low. and in that area they have to protect the residents. There was no discussion as to whether it was coral or pink or green or gray. The Mayor and the Commission. and Police Department are interested in protecting our citizens. So, if it is necessary to make some type of change .where you have to have a higher wall in that area, something that matches the rest of the City, there was no change outside of making that wall higher. One other member Helene Ensweir had said that it certainly would be an improvement over what they currently have. City Manager Russo said subsequent to that we had a workshop where we proposed the new drawings with a higher wall. There was a whole discussion over that wall and then ultimately the Commission decided to keep with the program of the rest of the streetscape. He said they will have various choices in terms of the style and everything on the gates. Commissioner Scholl said he thought rMr. Amselem's folks came to the public hearing because he remembers that forum. Mr. Amselem said he was not informed of the public hearing and as the President of the Association he would have known about it and he would have been present. Commissioner Scholl said people from there attended and so they knew about it. and Mr. Amselem said there are three Associations: the 100 building which is theirs. and the 300 and the 500 buildings and so he is not sure who and what association came. Mr. Amselem does recall that the City did come to one of their Board meetings because the President doesn't have the authority to just give away property without consulting with the Board. The City Planner or City Manager at the time with the plans and conceptual renderings came to their Board and explained to their membership what the intention was. The intention was a very good intention, we liked the idea of renovating the entrance but we .were told that we would have input throughout the process. When he started to see the 17 Summary Minutes: Regular Cin, Commission Meeting Januan I6. 2014 Cin, of Sunny Isles Beach. Florida project happening throughout Sunny Isles Beach as you were reaching closer to his residence he made a point to contact the City and set up an appointment to discuss what is going to happen since we never met and since part of the agreement in good faith was to communicate and hear us out as to what we would like to see out in front of our house. That meant the height of the wall, whatever we were going to put on top of it, the types of lighting we were going to put throughout the wall, all of those things had to be discussed. The City did not get a blank check on our easement to do whatever they felt they wanted without our input. His question to the Commission is again if the decision was made prior to; because you had intentions of matching the entire Island of Sunny Isles Beach, then where were we involved and why were Nye presented with yes you have all these options and then none were given? Mayor Edelcup said he thinks what Mr. Amselem is holding on to is the fact that we said you would have input, it didn't necessarily mean we would turn over the entire design to you. Some of the input has been that we raised the wall. some of the input was that we agreed to do some landscaping at the front end, some of that input at your request again was to move the wall closer to the street so that we were not taking as wide of an easement as we initially did. And so there were inputs from you that were adopted when we designed this, and again there was a hearing; you may or may not have been here for it. We are where we are at, at this point. the City Manager is ready to go, and Public Works is ready to go. Our design concept was initially started on the basis of when we first went to you for the easement is would you like the City to do this; and the answer apparently came back yes because we got the easement. If you didn't want the City to do it, if you wanted to design your own, the answer at that point would have been that we should go our own way. Freddie Vivas said he is a resident of Arlen House as well as an architect. He was part of that first meeting with City Manager Rick Conner at the time and he had showed a schematic desien of what the wall and landscaping would look like. Actually we were delighted to work with the City to beautify that part of the building because we also understood that was the southern entrance to Sunny Isles Beach. From the beginning the City Manager informed us that the plan was to do a wall to match the rest of the park, and we said in order to keep the continuity, and he as an architect can tell you that we don't need to mimic the same wall in every single spot. He understood and said in order to achieve the continuity let's work with some stuff that you presented on the plan like the landscaping of the date palms, the shrub. etc. but the architectural feature of the wall needs to be matching our building. We can keep the same height as the rest of the park, we can keep the same concept of having lights but maybe in a modem way. but we need to have some kind of relation between the Arlen House and the wall. He said in his opinion as an architect and a City Planner. that is not going to interfere or disrupt the continuity of the City. After the first meeting we had several meetings with the City, we met with City Engineer Helen Gray, City Manager Chris Russo. and Assistant City Manager Bill Evans for maybe over a year. We were trving to reach them because we thought they were the solution in order to start getting some input. Actually when they came to us with the design they were at 10% schematic design, and now it is finished and we have been trying to contact them since then to avoid what is happening right now. Also you need to think not just of the Arlen House but you need to think as the City. It is the entrance to Sunny Isles Beach. and you should welcome even, resident and visitor from the southern entrance. IS Summary Minutes: Regular CiN Commission Meeting Januan.16, 2013 Cin' or Sunuv Isles Beach, Florida N,lavor Edelcup said that is why we created the Intracoastal Park not because of the Arlen House, that is what the Intracoastal Park is all about. Mr. Vivas said we could do a lot with that wall, it could be something spectacular to receive our residents or if you didn't want to go that far, at least match the architectural site of the Arlen House. That is his recommendation and it was his recommendation three or four years ago, he has been trying to achieve it, and the doors have been shut every time. Let's try to work together, we are only asking for consideration, everything is still on paper. We have not started the bidding process, we have not started the building. and so this is the time to think what do we want for Sunny Isles Beach, for Morris Lapidus. for our residents. that wall is unacceptable. Mayor Edelcup asked who put the landscaping in front of that wall? Who painted that wall and who has been keeping it cleaned up? Mr. Visas said that is something different; and we are not saying that we don't appreciate it. Mayor Edelcup said we are at an impasse, we have heard you and you have heard us. There was a public hearing. the Commission has approved the Lyall and the project, and at this point the Commission has not stopped that project. 14.
