Action: Vice Mayor Thaler reported on the Fact Finding Beach Environmental Committee
findings. The City's beaches were closed five days in 2009 due to high levels of bacteria in
the water. This area of water was limited to the Pier Park area, not the entire two-mile
expanse ofthe beach. It was discussed that debris from the closed Pier may be affecting the
water testing site. City Officials met with Miami-Dade County Health Department Officials
and discussed moving the water testing site. The new site will be on 17ih Street and Collins
A venue. Trina Duluc provided informational material on sonar equipment that can be used
on parts of the Pier to keep the pelicans and other birds away from it. The Project
Management Team building the Pier will review the information to see if it may be
incorporated into the new Pier structure. The Committee also discussed the recent coastal
clean-ups of the beach this year. The last beach clean up included 62 participants and was
part of the Miami-Dade Coastal Clean Up Project. Mayor Edelcup said it looks like we have
this problem under control and he retired the Committee for now.

Presentation by Police Chief.
Action: [City Clerk's Note: See additional action under Item 4A.} Police Chief Fred Maas
announced his retirement noting that eleven (11) years ago tonight he was sworn in as Police
Chief for the City of Sunny Isles Beach, and has been in Police work for 37 years, the second
most tenured Chief in all of Miami-Dade County. He said that he was asked to stay on for a
smooth transition of his successor as Police Chief, and he has agreed to do so. He gave a
power point presentation of his family, and Chief Maas was honored by a standing ovation.
Mayor Edelcup said a few words noting that Chief Maas gave his heart to this City, and

7. ORDINANCES FOR FIRST READING
7 A. An Ordinance of the City Commission ofthe City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Amending
Chapter 253 of the Code of Ordinances to Include Registration of ForecIosed Properties;
Providing for Severability; Providing for Inclusion in the Code; Providing for Repealer;
Providing for an Effective Date.
(Continued from 09/16/1 0)
Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Assistant City Manager/Services Vera reported
noting that this item was deferred at the last Commission meeting to take a look further into
how we were going to implement it. This Ordinance will provide data to the City on
foreclosed properties within the City and collect a fee from the lien holders so that we may
have the properties maintained to our standards. We looked further into getting information
from the Condominium Associations as they have a lot of the foreclosed properties, and we
are looking into the Real Estate Tracking System that deals with foreclosed properties and
that is the way we will be monitoring. Right now they have submitted over $13,000.00 to the
City for foreclosed properties.
Commissioner Scholl said he met with staff and they indicated that they have the tools now
to make sure the Ordinance gets applied equally across the board. Commissioner Goodman
asked how we handle condos, and Commissioner Scholl explained when a foreclosure gets
filed they have to file a document with the Clerk ofthe Court. Staff has a couple of different
mechanisms for knowing when that document gets filed and when it gets filed within a
property in our City. If a bank doesn't voluntarily come forward to comply with the
Ordinance, they can put the bank on notice and send them the proper documentation to
register the foreclosure.
Commissioner Brezin clarified that for right now what we are advocating in this Ordinance is
just a question of recording, and Commissioner Scholl said that is correct, if a property gets
blighted because it is being ignored, we have ordinances in place to take care of that, and
what staff got him comfortable with is that we have the ability to track these things now, and
there are mechanisms that we can track it with and collect a fee for the registration and make
sure that we are aware of them. Mayor Edelcup said it is strictly notification to the City.
Public Speakers: None
Commissioner Scholl moved and Commissioner Brezin seconded a motion to approve the
proposed ordinance on first reading. The motion was approved by a roll call vote of5-0
in favor. Second reading, public hearing will be held on Thursday, November 18,2010,

However, that arrangement was not beneficial to the City or to La Perla, it caused some
privacy issues in respect to La Perla. Also, the use by the City was limited because of the
valet service. La Perla has agreed to enter into an agreement to cancel the right of those
spaces for $200,000.00. Upon the approval of this agreement, La Perla will provide the City
with $100,000.00 and pay the additional $100,000.00 in a five-year period at 5% interest. La
Perla has also agreed to work with the City on future projects. He noted that the Promissory
Note needs to be corrected to say Second Amendment.
Public Speakers: none
Vice Mayor Thaler said that we had the spaces but the City was not getting any income from
them, it was all going to La Perla, and so this is really found money for the City. The
Commission thanked Commissioner Scholl for bringing this item to the Commission.
Commissioner Scholl said that La Perla have been a very good advocate for the Pier Project
and for the revitalization of Sunny Isles Boulevard, and so the Condominium really stepped
forward in a leadership with La Perla and they did a good job in making this go a long way.
