Another example of giving variances and someone sitting on the development and we lose 10 years of tax revenue. And now the development has been cut by more than 50%. We need to make it clear that all variances need a sunset clause to ensure developers commit to building in a timely manner

That advise is to give the parking lot back to the heirs of the Sullivan Trust and get this monkey off the backs of the taxpayers!

I realize that you are a bit slow considering your learning curve however its time for you to come to terms with the fact that this Hotel is simply not going to get built!

You also need to come to terms with the fact that your incompetence has cost the taxpayers millions of dollars in potential income by you agreeing to not meter the Cove for 10 years without making it conditional on the Hotel being built!

Taking the above blunder into consideration, the only way to salvage this is to simply return the property to the Sullivan Trust and at least collect real estate taxes on the property and leave the cost of maintenance to the Sullivan Family not the taxpayers of Deerfield Beach!

The City of Deerfield Beach is not in the Parking Lot maintence business. Especially when the City is losing money!

I realize that to add insult to injury, the taxpayers also spent approx 2.5 million dollars on renovating the Cove Shopping Center, but lets consider this just another example as to why this City requires a more experienced and well educated group to lead this City.

I know that this is an embarrassment to your fragile ego but its time that you and this group of misfits that you call a Commission put your Big Boy Pants on and realize that you not only have made fools of yourselves, but you have also embarrassed this entire City!

Before things get much worse for you, and they will, at least try to do something productive for the Taxpayers of Deerfield Beach!

" Robaina allegedly was involved with ballot brokering. He faced two felony counts and two misdemeanor counts. "The politicians he was working for denied having any knowledge of his illegal activities", although the Miami-Dade’s Property Appraisal Carlos Lopez Cantera told Florida Watchdog last year that he had received offers from ballot brokers offering to help him in his campaign.
