A. MAYOR AND COUNCIL:
Discussion of Forum for Council Candidates:
Mayor Roth reported that he is retiring from the Council after eight years. He reviewed the
items that he and the Council have worked on (beach improvements, beach path,
beautification of 96th Street, opening of Abbot Avenue in Surfside, new library system,
maintaining the beauty of the Village, park and recreation program, bus, etc.). He thanked
the staff.
Mayor Roth discussed the possibility of a candidate forum on Monday night at 7 p.m., with
Peter Cohen, Chamber of Commerce President, serving as the moderator. He noted that if
both candidates agree to that, then it could be held at Village Hall. Councilman Jacobi
noted that he would love to have a debate with Ms. Mullen, but is concerned about the
timing. He recused himself from voting on the issue and left the room.
Bal Harbour Village Regular Council Meeting Minutes 04/13/2007
Lynne Bloch- Mullen, 10150 Collins Avenue, clarified that Peter Cohen is available from
5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. Mayor Roth suggested limiting it to an hour (6 -7). Ms. Bloch - Mullen
noted that the forums are usually 1 Y2 hours.
Babak Raheb -128 Balfour Drive, questioned if the motion would be for the use of Village
Hall. Mayor Roth advised that it would be. Councilman Rosenfield is concerned about that,
because she thinks that in doing so, the Village would be sponsoring the debate. Mr. Weiss
agreed that it would be better at an outside location. He explained that the Village is trying
to facilitate it, not sponsor it. Councilman Sanz is concerned about proper notification to
residents, due to the timing.
Doug Rudolph, resident - 212 Bal Bay Drive, thinks that a debate is a great idea, but that
it should have been done sooner. He doesn't think it's professional or courteous at this
point, because the voters need to be notified. He suggested considering it for the future.
Mr. Rudolph doesn't think that notification via email or the Information Channel is
appropriate, in order for people to be included. He thinks that it's a good idea, but that the
timing is bad.
Mr. Treppeda reported that the issue was called to his attention earlier in the week, but that
he wanted Council direction on it. Councilman Rosenfield doesn't think that it's politically
correct to have it at Village Hall and suggested the Sea View Hotel, Church by the Sea, or
Bay Harbor Elementary. She is in favor of debates, but is concerned with holding it at
Village Hall. She also thinks it should be sponsored between the two candidates.
Mr. Raheb doesn't think that the Village should sponsor the debate, but thinks that
timing /cost may be an issue in finding another place. He doesn't think any more notification
is needed other than what is presently done. Mr. Raheb thinks that anything the Council
can do to promote free speech /democracy should be done. He understands Councilman
Rosenfield's comments regarding holding it at Village Hall, because one candidate may
have an advantage that currently sits on the Council.
Dr. Michael Krop, resident— 9601 Collins Avenue, thinks that Bal Harbour can provide
its venue, since Bay Harbor does. He explained that they would like to ask the candidates
questions, especially regarding zoning issues. He noted that it would be run by an impartial
person and that Village Hall is convenient. Councilman Rosenfield questioned why the
candidates didn't get together to work that out. She doesn't think that the Village should do
it, just because Bay Harbor does. She isn't sure why it had to come before the Council and
doesn't think that the Council is in a position to force a debate. Dr. Krop reported that Bay
Harbor had it at their Town Hall. Mayor Roth noted that if the Village Attorneys don't think
it's appropriate to have it at Village Hall, then the candidates should decide where to have
the debate, etc. Councilman Rosenfield thinks that it's more appropriate in a different
venue. Dr. Krop noted that the issue is if the Council wants to provide Village Hall as a
forum. Mr. Weiss doesn't think that it's illegal for the Council to have a debate at Village
Hall, but that it is more appropriate to have a political debate at a neutral location. He noted
that some people don't feel that it's appropriate to have it at Village Hall, because it seems
like the Council is sponsoring it, etc. He would prefer to see it outside of Village Hall.
Mr. Raheb noted that the Civic Association uses Village Hall to meet and it doesn't mean
Bal Harbour Village Regular Council Meeting Minutes 04/13/2007
INU
that the Village Council approves, supports, or sponsors it.
Ms. Bloch - Mullen noted that she tried to contact Councilman Jacobi to discuss the debate
10 -14 days ago. She feels that it's a public service for the voters to know both of the
candidates. She agreed that the timing is lousy and clarified that it wasn't her wish to wait.
Ms. Bloch- Mullen explained that The Chamber of Commerce recommended Village Hall.
She thinks that it's a public service for the Council to see that a debate is done for the
residents. Councilman Rosenfield and Mayor Roth noted that the Council cannot force a
debate.
Dina Cellini, resident - 211 Bal Cross Drive, noted that Bal Harbour doesn't have an
ordinance prohibiting the use of Village Hall for public debates. Mr. Weiss agreed. Ms.
Cellini advised that Councilman Jacobi and Mrs. Mullen have both agreed to doing a
debate and that the question is if the Village will provide the public service by advertising it.
Mr. Raheb noted that Councilman Jacobi's problem was with the time, not the debate.
Mayor Roth thinks that if both parties agree, then the candidates should decide the
arrangements. Councilman Rosenfield agreed that it's not up to the Council to decide
anything for it. Ms. Cellini noted that the Clerk can place information on the Village's
Information Channel and send emails. She continued that the Village can also post notices
at Village Hall. She agreed that the timing is wrong, but noted that they tried earlier and the
Manager didn't feel comfortable making a decision. Ms. Cellini suggested that the Council
consider putting something in place for future elections, for the Village to provide a venue
and notice to the residents for a debate. She urged the Council to provide notice to
residents that a forum will be established for the candidates.
Brian Mulheren, resident -10245 Collins Avenue, thinks that it should be held at Village
Hall, since there's no law against it, the Civic Association meets there, and Mr. Cohen has
recommended it. Councilman Rosenfield thinks that one side asked for this and when there
wasn't agreement from the other side then they came to the Council
Mr. Rudolph doesn't think that anybody has a problem with having a debate at Village Hall.
He clarified that it's not a matter of venue, but what should be before the Council. He
agreed that the room should be available, but that the Council shouldn't be mandating a
debate. He thinks that it's highly inappropriate for the Council to decide. Mr. Rudolph noted
that if both candidates want to have a debate and want the Village to advertise and back it,
then the Council should consider it.
Mayor Roth thinks that if both candidates agree, then the Council isn't sponsoring or
authorizing it, but are just allowing the use of Village Hall.
Ms. Cellini reported that the Sea View Hotel is available. She suggested that Councilman
Jacobi have input as a candidate as to whether or not he wants to debate. She noted that
Peter Cohen is available 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Monday and that Village Hall or the Sea
View are available.
Mr. Weiss clarified that the question is if the Council wants to make the chambers available
for a debate, if it's agreed to by the candidates, and.for the Village to use the Information
Channel and whatever means it has available to publicize it. Councilman Rosenfield
questioned if that would be specific for this debate. Mr. Weiss noted that it's up to the
Bal Harbour Village Regular Council Meeting Minutes 04/13/2007
Council if that would be the rule for every debate or only this one. Councilman Sanz is
concerned about notification to the residents. Mayor Roth doesn't think that is the Village's
problem and that it's up to the candidates to decide how they will provide notification.
Councilman Rosenfield agreed that the candidates would still have to provide notification.
A motion was offered by Mayor Roth and seconded by Councilman Rosenfield that in the event of
a request by both candidates to hold a debate in Village Hall, then the Council will permit the
debate in Village Hall and direct the Village Clerk to use the Public Access Channel and email to
Publicize the debate. The motion carried unanimously (3 -0). with Councilman Jacobi recused.
Mayor Roth noted that it's now up to the candidates to get together.
Councilman Jacobi returned to the meeting.

Mr. Wallace discussed the Senate proposal on property taxes. He thinks that the outcome
will probably be a rolled -back rate in taxes, which will result in lost revenue to the Village in
the next year. He reported that new construction would not be included in that rolled back
rate, which would help the Village as new properties come on line. Mr. Wallace noted that
the State is taking away local control, which he thinks the Village should be concerned
about. He explained that relief is given to new cities, because they don't have any taxes to
roll back to. Councilman Jacobi requested a proposed fictional summary of the rolled back
rates to 2004. Mr. Wallace will try to provide that, but noted that he needs additional details
in order to calculate it.
