Defective Filing on TRG ALASKA Defective Lobbyist Registration

SEPTEMBER 27, 2014


10:58 AM

to Rafael Granado, Joseph Centorino, Raul Aguila,

Mr. Granado:

Please advise approximately when your staff will have completed its research, andwhen the matter will probably be referred to the Ethics Commission.

As explained before, the 5% or more stake information and name of the personcontrolling is very important information that should not be left off the registration form.

The perhaps coincidental word "Alaska" in TRG Alaska piques my interest becauseI am personally familiar with the nature of Alaska, and because a prominent MiamiBeach official had his company investigated for fraud there.

As you can see from a sample below, other persons have rightfully expressed aninterest in who is involved in Mr. Perez' companies with 'Alaska' in the rubric.

The failure to fill out the forms as required should subject the party to the maximum

penalty. Perhaps a daily fine should be imposed on the lobbyists whose forms havealready been inadvertently accepted by the clerk, calculated from the time ofacceptance until the time the information is revealed.

Thank you,

4 September 2014 to Clerk of City of Miami Beach

Dear Mr. Granado:

Attached please find Michael J. Marrero's July 8 registration as lobbyist for 304Ocean Drive property owner Sea Spray Development LLC. His registration appearsto be three months late, in violation of lobbying ordinance: he appears on the April 8video of the April 8 Historic "Preservation" Board.

Perhaps there has been a clerical error in not recording a registration for April 8. Ifnot, then it is astonishing to me that he was allowed to testify under oath before theBoard, since officials there are required by the ordinance to exercise due diligence -at least I recall the word "diligent" in the code - which would require checkingcredentials in advance when a lobbyist signs a log before the hearing.

Furthermore, Mr. Marrero does not make the necessary disclosures of personsholding directly or indirectly an interest in the LLC, a fact that arouses my suspicionbecause he is an experienced lobbyist, doing a tremendous amount of business onthe beach, and is licensed by the Florida Bar; the ordinance and the registration formitself clearly require the information; other registration forms filed by him, includingthe example I attach hereto, his filing for 8421 Crespi LLC, include the requiredinformation.

Furthermore, one inducement offered by developer David Arditi to city officials forthe spot zoning of 321 Ocean Drive across the street was his promise to cause 304Ocean Drive to be developed with foreign funds obtained. As you will recall, twolobbyists for 321 Ocean Drive, developer Joshua Benaim and architect JamesCarse, also failed to provide information on the substantial interests persons held inthat property's owner, the managing member being a Delaware entity unregisteredat the time in Florida.

So now the failures to supply the required information appear to be a pattern ratherthan coincidence; a pattern apparently contributed to by official negligence.

I do not understand why the clerks would have accepted the forms absent therequired information. Disclosure and its publicity are intended to help the public andits investigators ascertain the identity of the natural persons involved in public
