Commissioner Ken Ellingsworth
Commissioner David Randolph
Commissioner Barbara Smith
Mayor Thomas E. Lynch
Absent - None
Also present were City Manager David T. Harden and City
Attorney Susan A. Ruby.
Mayor Lynch called the meeting to order and announced
that the meeting had been called for the purpose of considering the
following:
1, Contract with Miguel Hernandez for purchase of property for
S.W. 10th Street right-of-way.
David N. Tolces, Assistant City Attorney, stated this purchase
involves a parcel of land located at the northwest corner of
Swinton Avenue and S.W. 10th Street which is needed for the road
widening project. The purchase price is $12,000.00 less any unpaid
liens or taxes.
Mr. Ellingsworth moved to approve the Contract for Sale and
Purchase with Miguel Hernandez, seconded by Mr. Randolph. Upon
roll call the Commission voted as follows: Mrs. Smith - Yes; Dr.
Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor
Lynch - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0 vote.
2, Agreement with U.S. Marshal's Office to delete one lot from
property acquisition for S.W. 10th Avenue.
David N. Tolces, Assistant City Attorney, stated the City
Commission had previously approved a contract with the U.S.
Marshal's Office for the acquisition of five lots which are going
to be used as part of the S.W. 10th Avenue road construction
project. However, several title problems have been discovered with
one of the five parcels. Since we want to proceed with the
acquisition of the other four lots, an agreement has been prepared
which will sever the one lot from the other four. At closing the
City will pay for the four lots it is acquiring. During the year,
the Marshal's Office will attempt to clear title to the fifth lot.
If clear title is obtained, the City will purchase the final lot.
Otherwise, the City will be released of its obligation to purchase
it. Deletion of the one lot from the property acquisition will not
interfere with the S.W. 10th Avenue project.
Dr. Alperin moved to approve the Agreement between the City
and the United States Marshal deleting one parcel of land from the
property acquisition for S.W. 10th Avenue, seconded by Mr.
Ellingsworth. Upon roll call the Commission voted as follows: Dr.
Alperin - Yes; Mr. Ellingsworth - Yes; Mr. Randolph - Yes; Mayor
Lynch - Yes; Mrs. Smith - Yes. Said motion passed with a 5 to 0
vote.

Robert A. Barcinski, Assistant City Manager, stated this is a
request from Old School Square for staff assistance, waiver of
overtime, and other special items associated with the DeWitt Home
and Gardens Showcase. The Showcase will be presented March 4-26,
1995, and is Old School Square's major fund raiser for the current
fiscal year. Mr. Barcinski stated staff recommends approval of the
request, subject to the conditions and exceptions noted in the
staff report. He then introduced Ms. Jan Ecclestone, Director of
Development for Old School Square.
Ms. Ecclestone made a brief presentation in which she outlined
the various events being planned for the Showcase as well as the
efforts being made to minimize any inconvenience to other residents
of the neighborhood. She, too, noted that this is the only fund
raiser that Old School Square will be having for 1995. Ms.
Ecclestone stated that she has met with Mr. Barcinski and is
