Defective Filing on TRG ALASKA Defective Lobbyist Registration

SEPTEMBER 27, 2014

10:58 AM

David Arthur Walters <miamimirror@gmail.com>


to Rafael Granado, Joseph Centorino, Raul Aguila,
Mr. Granado:
Please advise approximately when your staff will have completed its research, and
when the matter will probably be referred to the Ethics Commission.
As explained before, the 5% or more stake information and name of the person
controlling is very important information that should not be left off the registration form.
The perhaps coincidental word "Alaska" in TRG Alaska piques my interest because
I am personally familiar with the nature of Alaska, and because a prominent Miami
Beach official had his company investigated for fraud there.
As you can see from a sample below, other persons have rightfully expressed an
interest 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 have
already been inadvertently accepted by the clerk, calculated from the time of
acceptance until the time the information is revealed.
Thank you,
David Arthur Walters

Dear Mr. Granado:
Attached please find another defective filing (attached), Charles Sieger's 2012-05-01

Lobbyist Registration Form giving TRG ALASKA III as principal in the 801
South Pointe (MAREA) project but without identifying those with a greater than 5%
ownership interest and who is in charge of the company as required by law.
If there is no correction on file for this fatally defective registration, please follow the
provision set forth in our lobbying ordinance and forward it to the Miami Dade
County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust for disposition.
This will make a half-dozen I have referred to you. There are probably many more,
and from lobbyists who know better.
Thank you for your usual excellent service.

Cc: "Held, Gary" <garyheld@miamibeachfl.gov>, "Aguila, Raul"
<RaulAguila@miamibeachfl.gov>
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 304
Ocean Drive property owner Sea Spray Development LLC. His registration appears
to be three months late, in violation of lobbying ordinance: he appears on the April 8
video of the April 8 Historic "Preservation" Board.
Perhaps there has been a clerical error in not recording a registration for April 8. If
not, then it is astonishing to me that he was allowed to testify under oath before the
Board, 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 checking
credentials in advance when a lobbyist signs a log before the hearing.
Furthermore, Mr. Marrero does not make the necessary disclosures of persons
holding directly or indirectly an interest in the LLC, a fact that arouses my suspicion
because he is an experienced lobbyist, doing a tremendous amount of business on
the beach, and is licensed by the Florida Bar; the ordinance and the registration form
itself clearly require the information; other registration forms filed by him, including
the example I attach hereto, his filing for 8421 Crespi LLC, include the required
information.
Furthermore, one inducement offered by developer David Arditi to city officials for
the spot zoning of 321 Ocean Drive across the street was his promise to cause 304
Ocean Drive to be developed with foreign funds obtained. As you will recall, two
lobbyists for 321 Ocean Drive, developer Joshua Benaim and architect James
Carse, also failed to provide information on the substantial interests persons held in
that property's owner, the managing member being a Delaware entity unregistered
at the time in Florida.
So now the failures to supply the required information appear to be a pattern rather
than coincidence; a pattern apparently contributed to by official negligence.
I do not understand why the clerks would have accepted the forms absent the
required information. Disclosure and its publicity are intended to help the public and
its investigators ascertain the identity of the natural persons involved in public
Page1of2

MIAMI MIRROR TRUE REFLECTIONS

business and their sources of funds.


Indeed, this information, especially where foreign entities, foreign cash, and foreign
architects are involved, should be just as important to Board members as to whether
or not a design is "foreign" to some current historical context.
That is not to say that I believe that the developers are not "nice boys," as Frank Del
Vecchio has informed me. Given the fact that even nice boys next door are
occasionally arrested for serious crimes, I believe it is better to obtain as much
information as can be had about them.
Please let me know what steps will be taken to remedy these issues so that I may
inform my dozen or so constituents in Miami Beach.
Sincerely,
David Arthur Walters
