Summary Minutes: City Commission Meeting November 13,2003 City of Sunny Isles Beach,Florida Judith Burke, Esq., representing Fortune Beach, LLC, said that they have no objection if they are asked to put in the bathroom facility with the showers in the public park, and if the Commission would also like them to put in showers and a fountain, and a bench in the public park, they would be happy to do so. Vice Mayor Goodman asked who will be maintaining the property after it is built, and Ms. Burke said that if they end up building the facilities on their property,they will maintain them, in the event the City asks them to build the bathrooms in the public park,the City will maintain the bathrooms as part of the public park. Commissioner Thaler asked who is responsible in maintaining the bathrooms and restrooms, and assuming that they are not maintained properly, who has the right to repair and maintain the showers and bathrooms, and Ms. Burke said that there is a Declaration which will be recorded in the public records giving the City the right to inspect and if it is not maintained, the City will issue a notice of violation, and by that time the Association will be required to do so. Commissioner Thaler asked for clarification on what we are voting on tonight, and Ms. Burke noted that the Commission is only voting on the price of the appraisal, as the resolution was adopted on September 18, 2003. City Attorney Dannheisser said that we can avoid this in the future by not taking a vote until the resolution is finalized. Mayor Edelcup noted that sometime in the near future we can have something like a Mayor's Advisory Council that will bring the people and the developers together within the same forum and give both sides an opportunity to be heard.
