Byrd Commissioners : Jean Cook Howard Hirsch City Attorney: Frank Adler City Manager: Eugene Jewell. City Clerk : Wanda Mullikin I Absent: Commissioner: Charles McElyea 1. Discussion concerning pier and pier restaurant . City Manager Jewell read into the record the recommendation of the City 's auditors , Touche Ross & Co. , stating that although gross margins are reasonable, employee salaries and benefits appear high in comparison to other operations of comparable size and nature and, as restaurant operations are incurring continuing losses , recommending that the City consider leasing the restaurant to an independent operator that may have a different cost structure relating to employee salaries and benefits. City Manager Jewell , having reviewed the proposals received in response to advertisements for bids for pier and/or pier restaurant operation presented his own recommendation that the City maintain operation of the pier and enter into an agreement with Donald V. Streeter, the highest bidder, for five years for the operation of the pier restaurant in an amount of $1500.00 per month, noting that proper insurance requirements have been met. At Commissioner Hirsch 's request , City Clerk Mullikin distributed copies of the back-up material that had been included with the last Commission meeting package, including the insurance binder. City Manager Jewell was asked to obtain Mr. Streeter's net worth statement. In response to Mayor Bertino's question of why an offer of $72, 000. 00 a year for the pier was turned down, City Manager Jewell reported that last year the pier took in $333, 000. 00, excluding the restaurant; expenditures, which included $24,000.00 rent and $3 , 700. 00 depreciation expense, came to $289 , 000 . 00 ; f adding the rent and depreciation back into the plus $44,000.00, 4 the pier made $71, 000. 00. City Manager Jewell concluded that the $71 ,000 made versus $72,000 offered did not justify giving up control of the pier as a recreational facility. The Commissioners agreed. # During discussion of whether or not $18, 000 a year for the restaurant is adequate and what to base the rental figure on, P Mayor Bertino suggested that the dollar value of the equipment in place and how many square feet are incorporated in the restaurant building be determined in order to arrive at the figure being paid k per square footage equipped. k I City Manager Jewell said he would provide information on the Beach Grille for comparison, such as the gross revenues for the last 12 months, the rent, and square footage of that building, t City Manager Jewell was directed to provide the Commission with the additional information and then set up a workshop with Mr. Streeter for further discussion.

Inc. of Miami for the collection and maintenance of all. parking meters as well as the purchase of 80 additional meters . He estimated the cost of these services to be approximately $40, 000 per year, and reported that presently the City is spending in excess of $30, 000 per year in labor. He recommended entering into the comprehensive parking meter program, stating that revenues E will increase, public works employees will be freed up to do other work, a less controversial collection system will be in place, and the City will not have to make a $20 , 000 capital expense for the purchase of meters that are needed now. i Mayor Bertino said the proposal should be reviewed by the City's auditors, Touche Ross & Co. regarding the safeguards of the collection procedure. In response to Vice Mayor Byrd 's inquiry about the track record of Stroyne Bros . Co. , City Manager Jewell reported that the company has been with the City of South Miami for 1-1/2 years , the Town of Surfside for 7 years , and the City of Miami for 10 years . After discussing the proposed contract fee of $5. 62 per meter per month, responsibility for replacement of meters , voided tickets due to faulty meters and cost justification, it was evident that another meeting was necessary between City Attorney Adler, City Manager Jewell and Stroyne Bros. Co. before the Commission could consider the proposal . b i i 3 . Discussion concerning 1985-86 audit report. w I Commissioner Hirsch commented that the point he wished to raise had already been discussed at this workshop session and withdrew this item from the agenda. 4 .
