FLORIDA REAL ESTATE COMMISSION vs PETER P. SEDLER AND MARSHALL AND SEDLER, INC., 90-006183 (1990)
Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida Filed:Miami, Florida Sep. 28, 1990 Number: 90-006183 Latest Update: Mar. 14, 1991

Findings Of Fact Peter P. Sedler, at all times material to the complaint, has been licensed as a real estate broker, holding license 0079017. He was last licensed as a broker c/o Marshall & Sedler, Inc., 7771 St. Andrews, Lake Worth, Florida 33467. Marshall & Sedler, Inc., at all times relevant to the complaint, had been registered as a Florida real estate broker, holding license 0250511, its last licensed address was 7771 St. Andrews, Lake Worth, Florida 33467. Peter P. Sedler was the qualifying broker and officer for Marshall & Sedler, Inc. On about July 3, 1987, Tom Teixeira was employed as a salesman by Cartier Realty, of 11852 42nd Road North, Royal Palm Beach, Florida. Cartier Realty had solicited, through a direct mailing, listings for property in the Royal Palm Beach area. Ms. Mary Myers, an older woman of about 70 years of age, responded to the advertisement, and gave Mr. Teixeira an open listing for real property which she owned. While Mr. Teixeira placed a Cartier Realty "For Sale" sign on the property, the sign was somehow removed shortly thereafter, and no party dealing with Ms. Myers during the months of July, August and September of 1987 would have been placed on notice that Cartier Realty had any listing on the property. Mr. Sedler had nothing to do with the disappearance of the sign. Ms. Myers had originally acquired the property from her daughter. Long before Ms. Myers gave a listing to Cartier Realty, William Kemp and his wife Gina DiPace Kemp had told Ms. Myers that they were interested in purchasing the property, which is adjacent to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kemp. When Mr. and Mrs. Kemp first contacted Ms. Myers, she had wanted to keep the property, in the belief that she might eventually convey it back to her daughter. Mr. Teixeira brought to Ms. Myers an offer from David R. and Maureen C. Rose to purchase the land for $11,900. Ms. Myers did not accept that offer, but the Roses accepted Ms. Myers' counteroffer on July 24, 1987, to sell it for $12,300. The sale was contingent upon the buyers obtaining financing; they applied for a loan, and ordered both an appraisal and a survey. The closing was to be held by September 1, 1987. (Contract, paragraph VI.) The closing date passed, without the buyers obtaining the necessary financing, so the contract was no longer effective. On about September 8, 1987, Mr. Teixeira attempted to contact Ms. Myers. He had obtained no written extension of the contract but hoped the sale might yet close. Ms. Myers told Teixeira that she was still willing to sell the property to Mr. and Mrs. Rose. In the meantime, Mr. and Mrs. Kemp became aware that Ms. Myers wanted to sell the property, because they noticed Mr. and Mrs. Rose coming to look at the land, and had engaged them in conversation. Ms. Kemp then contacted Ms. Myers to remind her that they were still willing to purchase the property, and also to say that they would offer more than the current offer on the property. On about September 11, 1987, Ms. Kemp contacted Cartier Realty to say that she also wished to make an offer on the Myers' lot. For a reason which was never adequately explained at the hearing, Teixeira, who should have been working on behalf of the seller, refused to take the offer, even though it was for a higher price. After this rebuff by Teixeira, Ms. Kemp contacted Marshall & Sedler, Inc., in order to try to find a broker who would convey their offer to Ms. Myers and spoke with Patricia Marshall, Ms. Marshall referred her to her partner, Peter Sedler. The Kemps told Sedler that Ms. Myers had told them that she had received a $9,000 offer on the lot. Why Ms. Myers told the Kemps that the Rose offer was $9,000 is not clear, for the actual offer had been $12,300, but Sedler did not know this. There was no listing of the lot in the local board of realtors multiple listing service book, and Mr. Sedler found the address of Ms. Myers through the public records. Mr. Sedler knew from his conversations with Ms. Kemp that Cartier Realty had some involvement with an offer on the property. He called Cartier Realty and tried to speak with the broker handling the matter. He spoke with a man named Tom, who he thought was a brother of the owner of Cartier Realty, Pete Cartier. Mr. Sedler actually talked with Tom Teixeira. Sedler believed he was dealt with rudely by Teixeira, who had hung up on him. Sedler then called Pete Cartier directly to find out whether there was an outstanding contract on the property, and Cartier told Sedler that he would call Sedler back. When Cartier called Sedler, Cartier warned Sedler that he should stay out of the deal. Mr. Sedler became suspicious about Cartier Realty's failure to bring a higher offer to the attention of the seller, and on September 16, 1987, filed a complaint against Tom Cartier with the Lake Worth Board of Realtors. Mr. Sedler then traveled to Pompano Beach to meet with Ms. Myers at her home, and brought with him a contract for sale and purchase of the property, already signed by the Kemps and dated September 14, 1987. While at the door, Ms. Myers asked Peter Sedler if he was "Tom." Ms. Myers knew that she had been dealing with a "Tom" at Cartier Realty, but all her dealings were on the phone, and she did not know what Tom Teixeira looked like. Sedler replied "Yes, but you can call me Pete." Sedler merely intended the comment as humor. At that time Sedler gave Ms. Myers his pink business card and specifically identified himself as Pete Sedler of Marshall & Sedler, Inc. Mr. Sedler asked Ms. Myers if she had any paperwork, such as the prior contract for the sale of the lot which had expired on September 1, 1987, but she did not. While Sedler was with Ms. Myers, she agreed to sell the property to the Kemps for $12,500 and signed the Kemp contract. The Kemps had put the purchase price of $12,500 into the Marshall & Sedler escrow account. Three days later, on September 18, 1987, Mr. Sedler, in the company of his wife Bonnie, presented a post-dated check to Ms. Myers in the amount of $11,020, the net amount due to Ms. Myers for the lot, based on the purchase price of $12,500. When they met this second time he introduced himself again as Pete Sedler and offered Ms. Myers his card for a second time. The post-dated check was conditioned by an endorsement making it good upon a determination that the title to the lot was good. A quit claim deed to Mr. and Mrs. Kemp was executed by Ms. Myers and witnessed by Bonnie Sedler. The post-dated check was given to Ms. Myers because she was about to leave on vacation. The check was given as a sort of security for good title, in return for the quit claim deed which closed the transaction. Mr. Sedler had structured the transaction in this way because he was concerned that someone at Cartier Realty might also attempt to purchase the property from Ms. Myers on behalf of one of their clients. At that time, Mr. Sedler held the reasonable belief that no other party had a subsisting contract to purchase the property from Ms. Myers. Sedler had no reason to believe the Roses would or could pay more for the property than the Kemps offered. Ms. Myers knew that Tom Teixeira from the Cartier realty firm represented a distinct business entity from Marshall & Sedler or Pete Sedler. After a title search showed that Ms. Myers had clear title to the property, the check which Mr. Sedler had given to Ms. Myers on September 18, 1987, with the restrictive endorsement was replaced. Later Mr. and Mrs. Rose tried to close their purchase, but found they could not. Ms. Myers had failed to inform them of the sale she made to the Kemps through Mr. Sedler. Mr. Teixeira, in retribution, filed an ethics complaint about Mr. Sedler with the West Palm Beach Board of Realtors.

CHARLES OSBORNE vs ALEXANDER J. MILANICK, 04-004110FE (2004)
Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida Filed:Daytona Beach, Florida Nov. 12, 2004 Number: 04-004110FE Latest Update: Nov. 21, 2005

The Issue The issue is whether Respondent Alexander J. Milanick should be required to pay attorney fees and costs in the amount of $4,976.00 to Petitioner Charles Osborne to compensate Petitioner for his defense of an ethics complaint filed with the Florida Commission on Ethics.

Findings Of Fact The Town of Beverly Beach, Florida has a population of about 600 located in Flagler County, Florida. It is about one mile from north to south, and occupies about .4 square miles. It is bounded on the west by the Intracoastal Waterway and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. U.S. Highway A1A is the main north-south route through the town. Mr. Osborne is an aerospace engineer who served on the Beverly Beach Town Commission from 1997 through March 1999. He was mayor from March 1999 until 2001. He has lived at 2641 Osprey Circle, in Beverly Beach, in a home constructed at that location, since 1995. This residence is closer to the southern boundary of Beverly Beach than to the northern boundary. Dr. Milanick is a dentist who, along with his brother John, and a person named McGee, during times pertinent, owned land immediately north of Beverly Beach. On the property then and currently owned by Dr. Milanick, and east of A1A, is a restaurant named the Shark House. The premises has also been known as Crabby Joe's. In 1995, Dr. Milanick applied to the Town Commission to have his property, and that of his brother, and that of McGee, annexed into the town limits of Beverly Beach. He did this by asking a Mr. Taylor to do what was necessary to cause the annexation to occur. Mr. Taylor thereafter filed a petition with the Town Commission. By Ordinance 95-9-4, the Town Commission, in 1995, assented to the request and it was made effective November 15, 1995. The Ordinance purported to annex the Milanick property into the Town of Beverly Beach and to zone it general commercial. Mr. Osborne was not a member of the Town Commission and was not mayor during this time. The Ordinance, however, was defective in four ways. The Ordinance purported to annex the property into Bunnell, Florida; it was not properly signed by all commissioners; it was not publicly noticed; and it did not provide a legal description of the property. It was not filed with either the Flagler County Clerk of the Court or the Florida Secretary of State. The matter languished until 1997 when Dr. Milanick determined that his property had not in fact been moved within the boundaries of Beverly Beach. Dr. Milanick brought this to the attention of the Town Commission in October 1997. At a Town Commission meeting on December 3, 1997, the Town Attorney stated that he had not had a chance to look into the Milanick and Shark House issue. At a Town Commission meeting on February 4, 1998, Dr. Milanick inquired as to the progress being made on the annexation of his property and was told that the Town Attorney would get with him and discuss the procedure. Subsequently, the Town Attorney, Pat McCormick, suggested that it would be necessary to start the process from the beginning if the land was to be annexed. At a Town Commission meeting on March 4, 1998, Mayor Osborne stated that there was no benefit to the annexation of the Shark House. One member of the Town Commission suggested that they honor past commitments. Dr. Milanick was in attendance at this meeting. At a Town Commission meeting on May 5, 1999, Dr. Milanick and his brother again attended the Town Commission meeting and requested the annexation of their property and discussed the procedure that would be necessary. At a Town Commission meeting on June 2, 1999, a motion was made to go forward with Ordinance 95-9-4 and to amend the official city map and legal description to include the Shark House property. The motion passed but Mayor Osborne vetoed it. During a regular monthly meeting of the Town Commission on July 7, 1999, James Kearn, an attorney retained by Dr. Milanick, who was authorized to act for Dr. Milanick, appeared and requested that the Commission direct the Town Clerk to sign Ordinance 95-9-4 and to forward it to the county and the state in order to determine if the Ordinance was valid. This request was approved by the Town Commission. Mayor Osborne, vetoed the measure. Thereafter, the veto was over-ridden by the Commission. At a Town Commission workshop on July 21, 1999, there was additional discussion regarding the annexation of the Shark House. Mr. Kearn accused Mayor Osborne of discussing the Milanick annexation matter with Sid Crosby, Clerk of the Court of Flagler County. Mayor Osborne denied the charge. The discussion became heated and accusatory and Mayor Osborne threatened to have the sheriff eject Mr. Kearn from the meeting. Subsequent to the action of the Town Commission of July 7, 1999, the Town Clerk, Douglas Courtney, took Ordinance 95-9-4 to Syd Crosby, Clerk of the Court for Flagler County. In a memorandum dated July 26, 1999, Mr. Courtney reported to the Town Commission that Mr. Crosby would not file Ordinance 95-9-4 because it was defective. One of the defects cited was that the instrument purported to annex the land into the City of Bunnell, Florida. No creditable evidence was adduced which indicated that Mayor Osborne visited Syd Crosby for the purpose of preventing the recording of the annexation of Dr. Milanick's property. Mr. Crosby concluded from the beginning that Ordinance 95-9-4 was not recordable. Mayor Osborne suggested some solutions which would permit the annexation, including, re-submission of a proper application. Over a period of time some "glitch" bills were considered which would annex the land. However, none passed. Mr. Kearn attended the Town Commission meeting on February 2, 2000, and the minutes of the meeting noted that he was accompanied by "a person taking notes." Following this meeting, in a February 16, 2000, letter to Dennis Knox Bayer, Town Attorney, Mr. Kearn claimed that Mayor Osborne had a personal vendetta against Dr. Milanick, and that he was exercising dictatorial efforts to prevent citizens to speak at town meetings. He further demanded that ". . . all Town officials, including you as their representative, refrain from saying things that are simply and blatantly false, which only serve to incite Mr. Milanick." At a town meeting on March 1, 2000, Mr. Kearn complained about the annexation not being on the agenda and Mayor Osborne stated that a request for inclusion on the agenda had not been made in writing. Mr. Kearn was permitted to speak for three minutes, he spoke for three minutes, and immediately thereafter Mayor Osborne adjourned the meeting. On or about April 25, 2000, Dr. Milanick and his brother John, filed suit against the Town of Beverly Beach and Mayor Osborne personally, in the Circuit Court of the Seventh Judicial Circuit in and for Flagler County. The suit alleged that the Town of Beverly Beach and Mayor Osborne violated the civil rights of the Milanicks. The suit alleged that Mayor Osborne had a vendetta against Dr. Milanick and should be held personally liable to Dr. Milanick. The Circuit Court dismissed the civil rights count against Mayor Osborne and the town, and this dismissal was affirmed by the Fifth District Court of Appeal. The Circuit Court also dismissed the mandamus action, finding that the 30- day limitations' period for filing a petition for a writ of certiorari applied and that a prima facie case for mandamus had not been established. The Fifth District Court of Appeal, on October 19, 2001, remanded that count to the Circuit Court with directions to grant the petition for mandamus, but upheld the dismissal of the civil rights counts. On January 23, 2003, the Circuit Court entered its Alternative Writ of Mandamus. The Writ incorporated the allegations of Plaintiff's Complaint by reference and ordered that the Defendants take whatever steps necessary to sign and record Ordinance 95-9-4. When this occurred, Mr. Osborne was no longer an elected official of Beverly Beach. The Circuit Court complaint filed by Dr. Milanick recited that the recording of the ordinance did not occur because Mayor Osborne conferred with the Clerk of the Court to block recording of the ordinance. The adoption of the matters recited in the complaint as true, by the appellate court, does not make them proven facts because no evidence was taken in the case. The complaint, moreover, alleges actions, such as being tyrannical and peevish, which could not in any event constitute a violation of a person's civil rights. The complaint does not allege that Mr. Osborne took any action, as mayor, because he wished to obtain a personal advantage and does not allege that the annexation of Dr. Milanick's real property would affect Mr. Osborne's real property in terms of value or otherwise. As of the date of the hearing, Dr. Milanick's property had not been annexed into the corporate limits of Beverly Beach. Mr. Osborne, while serving as mayor, was not helpful in causing the annexation to occur and it is apparent that his relations with Mr. Kearn were not amicable. Mr. Osborne, while serving as mayor was irascible, intimidating, and controlling. Mr. Osborne believed that the annexation would bring no benefit to Beverly Beach and believed it would, "change the town's character." Mr. Osborne gained nothing directly or personally by preventing, or making difficult, the annexation of Dr. Milanick's land. As an elected official, he was permitted to advance his own ideas with regard to what he believed would be best for Beverly Beach and for himself as a citizen and property owner of Beverly Beach. He could act in this regard so long as he did not secure a special privilege, benefit, or exemption for himself, as opposed to a general benefit. A letter signed by Mr. Kearn dated July 18, 2003, accompanied by an affidavit signed by Dr. Milanick, requested that the Commission conduct an investigation into the activities of Mr. Osborne during the period when he was the mayor of Beverly Beach. For reasons which become apparent hereafter, this letter, which had the words "Via Airborne Overnight Mail" stamped on its face, will be hereinafter referred to as the "Airborne" letter. The following statements were contained in the "Airborne" letter: Specifically, while Mayor, Charles Osborne simply refused to sign and record the ordinance duly adopted by the Town, which annexed land into the Town as a general commercial, simply because he personally did not want anymore general commercial land in the Town, which could jeopardize his personal investment in the Town. He also met with the former Clerk of Court for Flagler County, Mr. Syd Crosby, to persuade the Clerk to not record anything regarding the annexation of such land, in order to prevent the completion of the annexation. He thus plainly put his purely personal concerns, ahead of his duties as mayor, and fiduciary duty to the citizens of Beverly Beach. The mayor still refused to oblige the Town's request, or to honor the duly adopted resolution, for his own personal reasons, irrespective of his duties as mayor to the citizens of Beverly Beach.... Even worse, he met with the former Clerk of Circuit Court of Flagler County, Mr. Syd Crosby, to attempt to persuade Mr. Crosby to not record any ordinance presented by the Town, annexing the Milanicks' property. Mayor Osborne repeatedly ignored and defied the will of the Town to complete the annexation, to pursue his own personal agenda, i.e., stopping annexation of land as general commercial. The "Airborne" letter then parroted items that indicated that the Circuit Court had found to be true, as follows: Additionally, Mr. Osborne simply does not allow anyone to speak with whom he disagrees, or to address matter that he does not want addressed. Mayor Osborne has... refused to put the Milanicks' matters or requests on the Town Council agenda; taken action regarding the Milanicks' properties, without any notice to the Milanicks, or without knowledge by the Milanicks that such action was being taken against their property, as required by the Town's own law; refused to allow the Milanicks to speak to matters that affect their personal and property interests, once the Town Council had opened discussion regarding the annexation and zoning of the Milanicks' properties; blatantly and willfully misrepresented the Milanicks' positions, actions, and statements at Town meetings, beyond the scope of the privilege normally attendant to a politician's statements at such meeting, in order to defeat the Milanicks' requests, and to harm the Milanicks; refused to honor Ordinances passed by previous Town councils, as detailed above; refused to follow through with completing the annexation approved by previous council members of the Town; worked to undercut the recording of the completion of the signing of the ordinance, and the recording of the ordinance, to complete the annexation, all as detailed above. The matters in paragraph 25, are misleading because they indicate that the Circuit Court found these items to be true when in fact no evidentiary proceedings with regard to these items occurred in the Circuit Court. Moreover, the Complaint alleged several matters which Dr. Milanick either knew to be untrue, or should have known that it was untrue. Specifically, the Complaint alleged that Mayor Osborne "did not want anymore general commercial land in the Town, which could jeopardize his personal investment in the Town." This allegation implies that he was acting for some personal and specific reason financial reason, as opposed to a general opposition to development. This allegation, had it been true, would have been actionable pursuant to Section 112.313(6) The Complaint also alleged that Mayor Osborne met with Syd Crosby in order to prevent the annexation of the Milanicks' property. This allegation, coupled with the allegation as to a financial interest, bolsters the asserted improper purpose. Based on this Complaint, the Executive Director of the Commission issued a Determination of Investigative Jurisdiction and Order to Investigate, which was filed with the Commission on September 26, 2003, and assigned Complaint Number 03-091. Investigator Travis Wade of the Commission was directed to conduct a preliminary investigation into whether or not there was probable cause to believe a violation of Section 112.313(6), Florida Statutes, had occurred. That section reads as follows: (6) Misuse of public position.--No public officer, employee of an agency, or local government attorney shall corruptly use or attempt to use his or her official position or any property or resource which may be within his or her trust, or perform his or her official duties, to secure a special privilege, benefit, or exemption for himself, herself, or others. This section shall not be construed to conflict with s. 104.31. Mr. Osborne learned of the Determination of Investigative Jurisdiction and Order to Investigate and thereafter retained Robert J. Riggio, of the firm of Riggio & Mitchell, P.A., located in Daytona Beach, as his attorney. Mr. Riggio worked on the case from October 24, 2003, until September 29, 2004. He charged $150 per hour, which is below the customary charge in the Daytona Beach area, and the hourly rate therefore, is reasonable. He expended 33 hours which is reasonable. He expended $180 in costs. These expenditures totaled $4,976 which was billed to Mr. Osborne. He paid the bill. On April 6, 2004, a second letter dated July 18, 2003, was sent to the Commission by Mr. Kearn by facsimile. This will be referred to as the "Fax" letter. This was precipitated by a request to Mr. Kearn from Investigator Wade that he provide a copy of the original letter. The "Fax" letter differed from the "Airborne" letter. In the second paragraph of the "Fax" letter the following sentence appears: "Specifically, while Mayor, Charles Osborne simply refused to sign and record the ordinance duly adopted by the Town, which annexed land just north of Mr. Osborne's manufactured home . . . ." And in the fourth paragraph of the "Fax" letter, the following sentence appears: "The Mayor objected, because it would serve to annex land as general commercial, just north of his own manufactured home." It further stated that his motivation was ". . . stopping land as commercial near him." Mr. Kearn testified under oath that when Investigator Wade was discussing the case with him, that he, Mr. Kearn, realized the "Fax" letter was a draft that had been sent to Investigator Wade in error. Mr. Kearn said that the "Fax" letter was a draft that had subsequently been edited by Dr. Milanick who knew, July 18, 2003, that Mr. Osborne did not live in a manufactured home located immediately south of the property which was sought to be annexed. Mr. Kearn said that it the "Airborne" letter was supposed to be the operative document. He said that he realized that the "Fax" letter was being used by Investigator Wade when he was talking to him on the telephone on June 8, 2004, and that he advised Investigator Wade of the error. He testified that he made it perfectly clear to Investigator Wade that the "Airborne" letter was the operative document. Investigator Wade's Report of Investigation, however, recites that during the telephone interview of Mr. Kearn, that Mr. Kearn advised him that Mr. Osborne resided in a mobile home community immediately south of the Milanick property, while he served as mayor and that Mr. Osborne's interest in stopping the annexation was to use his position for his personal benefit. At the hearing, Investigator Wade stated under oath that Mr. Kearn advised him during their telephone conversation that Mr. Osborne resided in a mobile home community immediately south of the Milanick property while he was serving as mayor. Investigator Wade stated that the issue of whether or not Mr. Osborne lived in the immediate vicinity of the Milanick property was the key element in his investigation because if that were true, stopping the annexation could be a personal benefit to Mr. Osborne. Mr. Wade was a disinterested and credible investigator and witness and his testimony is taken as true and accurate. Mr. Osborne did not live in either a manufactured or mobile home. The type of home he lived in is irrelevant. What is relevant is that Mr. Osborne did not live adjacent to, or in the vicinity of, the Milanick property. In fact, Mr. Osborne did not live near the north side of town. He lived closer to the south side of town and it is unlikely that the annexation of the Milanick property would have an economic effect on Mr. Osborne's property. Mr. Kearn was aware of Mr. Osborne's resident address because he had him served with a civil suit at his residence in 2000. Mr. Kearn knew that Mr. Osborne did not live in a mobile home community, or in a manufactured home near the Milanick property, or anywhere near it. Nevertheless, he asserted that to be true when he talked to Investigator Wade. Mr. Kearn is the attorney and agent of Dr. Milanick. Mr. Kearn is, therefore, the alter ego of Dr. Milanick so that the actions of Mr. Kearn, are the actions of Dr. Milanick. The Commission, found in their Public Report, dated September 8, 2004, that Mr. Osborne's opposition to the annexation was not connected to any desire to secure a benefit for himself. The Commission dismissed the Milanick complaint on a finding of "no probable cause."

Recommendation Based upon the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Florida Commission on Ethics enter an order requiring Dr. Milanick to pay Mr. Osborne $4,976.00.

KOHNO CORPORATION, U.S.A. vs DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, 92-002713BID (1992)
Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida Filed:Tallahassee, Florida May 05, 1992 Number: 92-002713BID Latest Update: Aug. 04, 1992

Findings Of Fact In late December, 1991, the Department decided to seek space for a move of its regional toll operations office currently located in Lake Worth, Florida. This office provides administrative support for toll personnel and the distribution of supplies and maintenance equipment for the nine toll plazas between Ft. Pierce and Lantana. This move was sought because the Department had outgrown its current office and concurrently therewith, a decision was made to seek a more centralized location to better service the existing and two additional toll plazas sought. Under the existing procedures before letting any lease the Department must seek and receive approval of the Department of General Services, (DGS), leasing office for the proposal. Consistent therewith, a letter of agency staffing was prepared to justify the amount of space the office would need. DGS approved the Department's request for the lease on December 27, 1991, and assigned lease No. 550:0234 to the procurement action. By that approval, the Department was authorized to begin soliciting quotes for the lease of 2,985 square feet of office space. Since the proposed lease was for less than 3,000 square feet, under existing DGS rules the procurement did not have to be competitively bid. The Department's request to DGS sought office space in either Jupiter or Palm Beach Gardens and described the requirement for the property as being centrally located on Florida's Turnpike between the Ft. Pierce and Lantana plazas. Six prospective landlords submitted quotes for this space. They were Worth Realty and Management Co. Inc.; Cascio Real Estate, Inc.; Elizabethan Interiors; Petitioner, Kohno Corporation, USA; Deitz Realty Company; and Paramount Real Estate Services, Inc. Several of the quotes submitted by other than Petitioner, Deitz Realty and Paramount Realty, were rejected right away for various reasons. The Worth Realty quote was rejected because the proposed location, (Lake Worth), the current location, did not meet the basic geographic criteria specified by the Department, and in addition, the future status of the building was uncertain because the owners had recently declared bankruptcy. Cascio Real Estate's bid required a $2,000.00 non-refundable deposit just to hold the space until a lease was signed, which the Department was not authorized to post, and Elizabethan's space was eliminated because it had been leased prior to the Department evaluation. This left three quotes for consideration - those of Petitioner, Deitz and Paramount. These three quotes were evaluated on the basis of the criteria, equally applied to all, which was specified by the Department's regional office in conjunction with its lease coordinator. Review revealed that Petitioner offered 2,925 square feet of space on the second floor of its building. The Department was seeking 2,985 square feet of space and any space for future growth over Petitioner's initial offering of 2,925 square feet would have been on a different floor, losing the contiguity of the office. The Department also preferred ground floor space for ease of access for the numerous deliveries and pick ups of supplies which takes place at the regional office as well as for the convenience of the many visitors to the office. Petitioner claims the distance from its parking area to its proposed office was minimal and serviced by elevator, but the Department's preference is still valid. In addition, the space offered by Petitioner included a private balcony and a private bathroom in that area which would be designated as the regional manager's office. This type of accommodation is considered inappropriate for state offices. In addition, Petitioner's space was not already built out and would have required some remodeling to be usable by the Department. The Director of the toll facilities office, who had the ultimate authority to select the best quote, rejected Petitioner's submittal as non- responsive because it contained 60 feet less than the 2,985 square feet called for. This 60 square feet, however, is well within the 3% leeway which Ms. Goodman indicated was the standard for determining the responsiveness of an offer. Notwithstanding the fact that the square footage was within acceptable parameters, this does not necessarily mean the evaluator had to consider it as functionally acceptable, and he did not. In addition, he considered the second story location and the unacceptable private bath and balcony as adverse factors. Petitioner's space was offered at $15.85 per square foot for the first year of a six year lease with an increase of 5% per year over the term of the lease. Deitz Realty's property was quoted at $22.65 per square foot for the first year of the least with a 4% increase per year over the term of the lease. Paramount's property in the Sun Bank Building was also offered at $22.65 per square foot with the same increase as Deitz. Petitioner's offer would have saved in excess of $100,000.00 over the term of the lease. Price, however, was not the primary consideration when the various quotes were evaluated. More important was the operational need of the regional office, and therefore, the Department did not attempt to negotiate a lower price with any of the offerors even though it was entitled to do so under DGS's interpretation of the controlling leasing procedures. Instead, the Department considered of higher priority the ground floor location; the location closer to a Turnpike entrance; the potential for growth and where that growth would be located; and whether the space offered was ready for occupancy or would require modification. Based on all those considerations, the Department determined that the space proposed in Fairway Center, at $22.65 per square foot was more desirable and better suited to its needs than that offered by Petitioner at a lower price. However, because of correspondence received from the Petitioner, the Secretary of the Department of Transportation ordered an internal audit of the lease process utilized here. As a part of that audit, the auditor interviewed the personnel who had participated in the lease process both at the Department and at DGS; reviewed the statutes and both Department's rules and procedures relevant to this procurement; and reviewed the lease proposals. The report of this audit, accomplished according to normal Departmental procedure, indicated that only two of the six quotes received were responsive - those of Petitioner and Elizabethan Interiors, whose property had already been leased prior to evaluation. The other four offers were determined to be non-responsive either because the price exceeded the maximum rate allowed or for being outside the defined geographic area even though the Governor and Cabinet could approve an exception. This included Fairway Center. The audit report also concluded that in conducting this procurement, the Department had complied with normal leasing procedures and guidelines for this type of procurement. The report thereafter recommended that because of the above, it was in the best interests of the state to begin to re-solicit offers for this procurement, and also recommended that all offers already received be rejected. It further recommended that in any future procurement the requisite criteria to be used be documented in advance even though the procedure for leases of under 3,000 square feet of property did not require such documentation. Department of Transportation procurement procedures require that at least three responsive quotes be forwarded to the Department of General Services for evaluation. In the instant case, the audit conducted at the behest of the Secretary established that only two responsive bids had been received. This situation req uired a re-bidding or a new solicitation and based on that determination, all bids, including Petitioner's, were rejected. Petitioner's protest was filed as a result of that rejection.

Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and conclusions of Law, it is, therefore: RECOMMENDED that the Department of Transportation enter a Final Order in this case dismissing the protest of Kohno Corporation, U.S.A., in regard to the Department's rejection of all offers in the procurement of lease No. 550:0234 for the Regional Toll Office of the Florida Turnpike Authority in Palm Beach County, Florida. RECOMMENDED this 16th day of June, 1992, in Tallahassee, Florida. ARNOLD H.

The Issue Should discipline be imposed against Respondent's Florida real estate sales associate license?

Findings Of Fact Stipulated Facts: Petitioner is a state government licensing and regulatory agency charged with the responsibility and duty to prosecute Administrative Complaints pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida, in particular Section 20.165 and Chapters 120, 455 and 475, Florida Statutes, and the rules promulgated pursuant thereto. Respondent is and was at all times material hereto a licensed Florida real estate sales associate, issued license number 3015177, in accordance with Chapter 475 of the Florida Statutes. The last license issued was as a sales associate with Diane Lynne Severino, P. O. Box 354491, Palm Coast, Florida 32135-4991. On or about August 6, 2004, Joaquin Torres and Marine Hopson (Torres) entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the real property located at 9 Rockwell Lane, Palm Coast, Florida. Respondent was the sales associate on the above transaction. The closing did not occur on the above transaction. Additional Facts: According to Petitioner's records, the following constitutes the history of Respondent's sales associate license: Francis Anthony Severino, Sr., Sales Associate, License #SL-3015177 From January 1, 2004 to October 4, 2004, he was a sales associate affiliated with Team Real Estate, Inc. doing business as Realty Executives Fun Coast Team license number CQ 1008966, a brokerage corporation located at 185 Cypress Point Parkway, suite 4, Palm Coast, Florida 32164; From October 4, 2004 to March 31, 2005 said licensee was invalid due to no employing broker or no filing of a request to remain a sales associate under another broker. From March 31, 2005 to the Present he is a sales associate affiliated with Diane Lynne Severino license number BK 666867, a brokerage sole proprietorship doing business as Severino Realty located at 170 North Beach Street, Daytona Beach, Florida 32114. Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 1. In his testimony Respondent indicated that his affiliation with Team Real Estate, Inc. ended on September 13, 2004, when he became inactive with that firm. Respondent's Exhibit numbered 2 is a copy of a DBPR RE-2050-1 Request for Change of Status form intended to establish the separation from that business. Mark Vost the real estate broker for Team Real Estate, Inc. filled out, signed, and sent it in. It has a fax stamp of September 13, 2004. The request by Mark Vost to inactivate Respondent as a sales associate with Team Real Estate, Inc., through the form DBPR RE-2050, was dated September 13, 2004, and officially received by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation on October 4, 2004. More significantly, Respondent testified that he filled out a DBPR RE-2050-1 a Request for Change of Status to be affiliated with Severino Realty whose broker was Diane L. Severino. At that time, Ms. Severino was Respondent's wife. A copy of the Request for Change of Status is found as Respondent's Exhibit numbered 3. It is dated September 13, 2004. Unlike Respondent's Exhibit numbered 2, Respondent's Exhibit numbered 3 does not have a fax stamp showing the date of transmission. Respondent indicated that he personally went to the fax machine in the office of Severino Realty and transferred his license to Petitioner by fax machine. On September 13, 2004, the date reflected on the form, Petitioner did not confirm the fax receipt by Petitioner. Respondent's explanation is that the fax machine upon which the transfer to Severino Realty of his sales associate license "did not have a receipt that prints out." Respondent in his testimony stated " . . . When I dialed the phone I got the dial tone, it rang, it answered, it made that beeping noise, and it never came and said anything that it did not go through and that it was an error. So I just assumed that it was accepted, because normally when a fax machine answers you, that beeping sound and it means that it is acknowledged and if it does not answer it’s a busy signal and you try dialing again." According to Respondent, from that point forward he assumed that his sales associate license had been transferred from Team Real Estate, Inc. to Severino Realty. It had not. Petitioner had evidence of the change of status of Respondent's license to inactive with Team Real Estate, Inc. It did not have evidence of the activation of Respondent's sales associates license with Severino Realty, even should one accept Respondent's testimony that he tried to fax the DBPR RE-2050-1 form designating a change in his broker to Diane L. Severino of Severino Realty on September 13, 2004. Ultimately the portrayal of Respondent's license history established in Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 1 is accepted where Respondent is recognized as being affiliated with Severino Realty commencing March 31, 2005. Respondent was involved with the Torres in a number of real estate transactions. One involved a purchase of a residence at 98 Ulysses Trail in Palm Coast, Florida, through a contract between Joaquine Torres and Holiday Builders, Inc. On July 21, 2004, the parties signed the contract. The total purchase price was $180,190.00. Respondent was named in the Sales/Forms FHA-VA- Std. in the portion of the forms described as "Realtor Referral" and Realty Executive is written next to his name. This is understood to refer to Team Real Estate, Inc. where Respondent was employed as a sales associate. The real estate commission involved with the purchase was 6 percent. Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 2. The real estate commission due Realty Executives (Team Real Estate, Inc.) was $8,129.00 in Respondent's name. Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 2. On September 24, 2004, when the purchase was settled at closing, the $8,1029.00 was paid, in relation to the property at 98 Ulysses Trail. Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 3. On September 24, 2004, the Torres as seller, with Severino Realty being reflected as the broker signed an Exclusive Right of Sale Listing Agreement for the 98 Ulysses Trail property. The price reflected was $229,800.00 with a broker's commission of 5.5 percent. The listing agreement bore one signature, that of the seller. The form did not name the authorized listing associate or broker. It referred to the brokerage firm name as Severino Realty. Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 4. Earlier, Mr. Torres entered into a "Showcase Home Purchase Completed Field Model Agreement" with Holiday Builders, Inc. for a residence at 9 Rockwell Lane, Palm Coast, Florida. On August 6, 2004, the parties signed the agreement. Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 5. On September 24, 2004, an Exclusive Rights of Sale Listing Agreement form was prepared between the Torres and Severino Realty on 9 Rockwell Lane, listing the sales price as $164,900.00. At the time, the Torres did not own the home. The brokerage commission was 5.5 percent. A seller's signature was attached. No other signature was provided. No one was listed as associate or broker. Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 6. The Torres' contract on 9 Rockwell Lane never closed due to the inability of the Torres to provide sufficient funds to conclude the purchase. On October 7, 2004, the Torres executed a Promissory Note to pay Respondent $5,000.00 upon the first sale of homes at 98 Ulysses Trail, 9 Rockwell Lane and 14 Ethel Lane. The amount was to be paid in 180 days from the date of the note payable at PO Box 354491, Palm Coast, Florida 32135 or "at such other place as payee or holder may specify in writing or in person." Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 7. On October 7, 2004, Mark Vost, broker/manager for Realty Executives Fun Coast Team Real Estate, Inc., wrote the title company that would be handling the closing on the 9 Rockwell Lane Property to advise that $5,000.00 of commission should be credited to the buyer with the balance of $879.00 being paid to Realty Executives the Fun Coast Team. Respondent's Exhibit numbered 8. This coincides with the settlement charges in the settlement statement for the 9 Rockwell Lane property that did not close on the anticipated date. October 12, 2004, was the scheduled closing date. Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 9. After the Torres purchase of 9 Rockwell Lane did not close, Respondent telephoned Ms. Torres and said that she would have to pay him $6,000 because of the percentage (commission) he was losing. He made more than one call. Respondent told Ms. Torres that the failure to close on the 9 Rockwell Lane property was not his problem. Respondent told Ms. Torres that she had to pay because she did not buy the property at 9 Rockwell Lane, that he lost his time and lost his commission and that it was her fault. Respondent told Ms. Torres to give him a check. Eventually, Respondent came to the Torres home to get money from the Torres that he said was due. Based upon the demand for money, Ms. Torres wrote a check payable to Frank Severino in the amount of $6,000.00. The face of the check stated the purpose for the check as "9 Rockwell Lane." The check was written on October 12, 2004, the date Respondent went to the Torres' home. The payment was not intended as any form of gift or gratuity to Respondent. Respondent deposited and cashed the check. A replica of the check and its execution is found as Petitioner's Exhibit numbered 10.

Recommendation Based upon the consideration of the facts found and the conclusions of law reached, it is RECOMMENDED: That a final order be entered finding Respondent in violation of Sections 455.227(1)(n) and 475.25(1)(b), (d) and (e), Florida Statutes (2004), and revoking Respondent's sales associate license.1/ DONE AND ENTERED this 30th day of March, 2007, in Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida.

RICHARD S. WEINSTEIN vs. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT SECURITY, 79-001826 (1979)
Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida Number: 79-001826 Latest Update: Jan. 14, 1980

Findings Of Fact In May 1979, Respondent issued invitation for bids for office space in West Palm Beach, Florida, for the purpose of establishing a combined claims, tax, and appeals unemployment compensation office in the West Palm Beach area. The lease on the present office in West Palm Beach expires in December, 1979. Two prior invitations for bids on the required office space had failed to result in the receipt of any bids. The invitation for bids provided that Respondent reserved the right to reject any and all bids and to make the award deemed to be in the best interests of the State of Florida. (Testimony of Bradner, Exhibit 15) On May 30, 1979, Petitioner Richard S. Weinstein submitted the sole bid in response to the May 1979 invitation. He proposed to lease his building located at 1814 North Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach, and to meet all bid specifications and requirements. At the time of bid submission, Petitioner was leasing the building in question to a tenant who operated a used furniture store on the premises. In order to meet the specifications of the bid, the property required considerable renovation and improvement which Petitioner agreed to accomplish. (Testimony of Petitioner, Exhibit 2) A bid selection committee composed of four departmental employees in Respondent's Tallahassee headquarters was appointed to consider Petitioner's bid and arrive at appropriate recommendations. On June 7, 1979, one of the committee members, accompanied by several officials of the West Palm Beach Office, inspected Petitioner's building and the surrounding area to determine its suitability for the proposed unemployment compensation office. Based upon statements made by those officials and the building's tenant that the area was unsafe and subject to frequent vandalism and theft, the committee member thereafter recommended to the selection committee that the bid be rejected and that the Department should readvertise for new bids. The committee unanimously accepted the recommendation and, on June 13, 1979, Petitioner was advised in a letter from the Respondent's support services director that his bid had been rejected based on the "inability of the building to meet our programmatic needs." Petition thereafter protested the decision and, as a result, the Secretary of the Department, Wallace E. Orr, directed the entire committee to make an on-site evaluation of the property and surrounding area. Thereafter, on July 18, 1979, the committee visited the site. At this time, each committee member, together with one of the officials of the local office, inquired of various businessmen in the surrounding area as to local criminal activity and solicited their opinion as to safety and security problems. One of the committee members also telephoned a city police desk sergeant concerning crime statistics in the area. (Testimony of Petitioner, Lowhorn, Orr, Bradner, Exhibits 3-4, 12) Petitioner gave the committee members a petition from a number of local businessmen supporting his bid, and a letter from the nearby Good Samaritan Hospital advising that it may construct a medical office building adjacent to the hospital in the future. Letters were also sent to the Department by the manager of an apartment building adjacent to Petitioner's premises stating that the area was safe and that there had been no break-ins in more than four years, and from the Mayor of West Palm Beach to the Secretary of the Department describing the area and asserting that it was making a resurgence in character as a result of city improvements and that it was no more unsafe than most of the areas of the city. Another letter, dated July 20, 1979, was sent to the Department from the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority Executive Director stating that the area was growing, new buildings were being developed, and that the downtown area generally was becoming a "hub" for governmental facilities. Upon return to Tallahassee, each member of the bid committee rendered a report and recommendations concerning Petitioner's bid. They applied weighted criteria in its consideration, and concluded that the bid was unacceptable because it failed to meet the two criteria of "condition of immediate vicinity of location" and "security of the facility." In these respects, they basically found that (a) the various businesses in the area were essentially "fortified" against burglary and vandalism, (b) the proposed office would be subjected to break-ins and possible loss of valuable office equipment and unemployment compensation checks, (c) the local departmental employees would be fearful of working in an unsafe area and (d) an office located at Petitioner's premises would be "depressing" to members of the public who utilized the departmental services. No mention was made in the various reports of the petition or letters sent to the Department by civic officials. The committee again recommended rejection of the bid and, by letter of August 1, 1979, Petitioner was advised of this fact and that new calls for bids would be made in the near future. Secretary Orr had viewed the premises himself and agreed with the committee recommendations that the site was unsuitable for the establishment of a local office. He felt that placement of the office in the area where Petitioner's building was located would be inconsistent with departmental goals to upgrade their state offices and improve their "image." He had not been made aware of most of the various letters and the petition provided to the committee, but had considered the letter of the West Palm Beach Mayor prior to arriving at his decision. (Testimony of Butler, Frisch, Radner, Baker, Orr, Lowhorn, Renfroe, Quigg, Petitioner, Exhibits 6-10, 11-12, 16) The street on which Petitioner's building is located is commercial in nature, although it is on the fringe of a residential community. It is an older part of the city and, until about five years ago, was in a rundown and depressed condition. In recent years, however, there has been an upgrading of the character of the downtown area of West Palm Beach which extends northerly to encompass the businesses in Petitioner's vicinity. The establishment of governmental facilities in the downtown and adjacent areas have been encouraged and a state office building is located in the area. A Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services "halfway house" has been erected approximately two blocks from Petitioner's building. Additionally, a branch banking facility, professional offices, several quality restaurants, and other modern business establishments are in the near vicinity. A laundry plant is across the street from Petitioner's building and at the present time presents an unsatisfactory appearance. It is intended, however, by the owners to expand and remodel the building in the near future. The City of West Palm Beach has the second highest crime incident rate in the state based on population. The city is divided into ten zones for police purposes, and during 1978, the zone in which Petitioner's building is located was average from the standpoint of crime statistics. In the opinion of the City Chief Police Inspector, it is typical of the various commercial areas located along U.S. Federal Highway No. 1, and as safe an area in the daytime as any in the city. He is of the further opinion that a burglar alarm would be a sufficient security precaution for nighttime safety, and that with such protection, a building would have adequate security. The highest crime rate in the city is located in the zone where the city hall, police station and other governmental buildings are located. Although business and professional individuals in the area near Petitioner's building have experienced minor vandalism and occasional illegal entries in the past, they uniformly are of the opinion that the area is safe with normal security precautions, such as a burglar alarm. A local boat sales establishment has a fence around the premises and a watch dog, but no burglar alarm. These precautions are designed to protect the expensive boats which are located out- side the building. The apartment building next to Petitioner's premises has not experienced break-ins in recent years although some of its elderly patrons have been exposed to occasional purse snatching on the street. The laundry plant across the street from Petitioner's building experiences various window breakage by youths on the weekends, and had a break-in recently in the nighttime through a poorly secured door in the rear of the premises. (Testimony of Lowhorn, Stackhouse, Hauser, Hodges, Lee, Lunney, Eddy, Ring, Eaton, DeSanti, Witt (Deposition - Exhibit 1), Exhibits 12-14).

Recommendation That Petitioner's bid be accepted by Respondent and recommended for approval to the Department of General Services. DONE and ENTERED this 17th day of December, 1979, in Tallahassee, Florida. THOMAS C.

CASE NO. 2007013479 GERALD W. ROWLEY, Respondent. / ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT The Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation, Division of Real Estate ("Petitioner") files this Administrative Complaint against Gerald W. Rowley (“Respondent"), and alleges: ESSENTIAL ALLEGATIONS OF MATERIAL FACT 1. Petitioner is a state government licensing and regulatory agency charged with the responsibility and duty to prosecute Administrative Complaints pursuant to the laws of the State of Florida, including Section 20.165 and Chapters 120, 455 and 475 of the Florida Statutes, and the rules promulgated thereunder. 2.

The last license the State issued to Respondent was as a state certified general real estate appraiser at 4552 Highgate Drive, Delray Beach, Florida 33445. 4. On or about April 23, 2005, Respondent developed and communicated an appraisal report FDBPR vy. Gerald W. Rowley Case No. 2007013479 Administratrve Complaint (Report 1) on a property commonly known as 10766 Versailles Boulevard, Wellington, Florida 33487 (Subject Property). A copy of Report 1 is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Administrative Complaint Exhibit 1. Report 1, prepared for purposes of refinancing by a private - lender, valued the Subject Property at $1.53 million. 5.

A copy of Report 2 is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Administrative Complaint Exhibit 2. Report 2, prepared for purposes of refinancing at the request of the client WCS Lending, LLC, valued the Subject Property at $2.2 million. 6. Petitioner received a complaint concerning Reports 1 and 2 from the private lender, Oriel Tsvi (Tsvi). Tsvi complained that Respondent failed to use more suitable, available, and proximate Comparable Sales from the Subject Property’s neighborhood, the Comparable Sales relied on by Respondent were superior to the Subject Property, and their use resulted in overvaluation of the Subject Property. 7. Through investigation, the following errors were noted in Report 1: A) In Report 1, Respondent used Comparable Sales 1 and 2 in the Subject Property’s neighborhood, but the remaining two Comparable Sales relied upon were from other subdivisions; B) Respondent failed to use numerous recent, more suitable Comparable Sales from the Subject Property’s neighborhood (the Versailles PUD subdivision); C) Comparable Sales 2, 3, and 4 were all in excess of a mile distant from the Subject Property; FDBPR v. Gerald W. Rowley Case No 2007013479 Administrative Complaint D) In the comments to the Sales Comparison Analysis section of Report 1, Respondent directed the reader to a sales (sic: subject) history addendum that recited a prior sale of the Subject Property within the previous one year period from Nathan & Yoldie Vincent to Lorraine Smith Brooks and John Kibler in May 2004 for $226,000, when no such sale had occurred; E) Respondent listed the condition for the Subject Property and Comparable Sales 1,2, and 4 as “excellent” but adjusted Comparable Sale 3 by + $5000 for “good” condition, without providing any explanation for the stated condition or adjustment; F) Respondent listed data and/or verification sources for the Comparable Sales as ISC/Public Records, but failed to note discrepancies between the data sources as set forth below: 1) Comparable Sales 1 and 2 had different dates of construction; 2) Palm Beach County records showed Comparable Sale 1 to have 5 bedrooms, 6 baths and 2 half-baths, while Respondent reported 3 bedrooms and 2 baths; 3) Respondent reported Comparable Sale 1 had 5,570 square feet of Gross Living Area, while the Palm Beach Count Property Appraiser reported 7,544 square feet; 4) Respondent reported Comparable Sale 2 to have 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, while Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s records reflected 5 bedrooms and 5 % baths; 5) Respondent showed the gross living area for Comparable Sale 2 as 5,670 square feet, while the county records showed 6,542 square feet; 6) Respondent reported 6,715 square feet of gross living area for Comparable Sale 4, while county records showed 5,568 square feet. 8. Respondent committed the following errors or omissions in Report 2: FDBPR v. Gerald W. Rowley Case No. 2007013479 Administrative Complaint A) Respondent utilized Comparable Sales 2 and 3, which were from different communities than the Subject Property; B) Respondent failed to use numerous recent, more suitable Comparable Sales from the Subject Property’s neighborhood (the Versailles PUD subdivision); C) Comparable Sales 2 and 3 were over a mile distant from the Subject Property; D) Respondent listed the condition for the Subject Property and Comparable Sale 1 as “excellent” but adjusted Comparable Sales 2 and 3 by + $5000 for “good” condition, without providing any explanation for the stated condition or adjustment; E) Respondent made significant upward adjustments in the Cost Approach Section of Report 2 over the previous values stated in Report 1 for site value increasing it from $575,000 to $1,150,000 in under 7 months, per square foot reproduction cost of the gross living area of the Subject Property increasing from $155 per square foot to $175 per square foot resulting in an overall increase in value of $113,985, and an increase for appliances without adequate explanation or analysis; F) Respondent listed data and/or verification sources for the Comparable Sales as ISC/Public Records (and MLS in the case of Comparable Sales 2 and 3), but failed to note discrepancies between the data sources as set forth below: 1) Respondent listed the site size of Comparable Sale 1 as 14,473 square feet when the Property Appraiser’s Office shows .28 acres, equivalent to 12,196 square feet; 2) The public records show Comparable Sale 1 was built in 2003 instead of 2005; 3) County records show 6,307 square feet for Gross Living Area for Comparable Sale 1 as opposed to the 5,708 square feet reported by Respondent; FDBPR v. Gerald W. Rowley Case No. 2007013479 Administrative Complaint 4) Respondents sole supporting documentation to support listed features of Comparable Sale 1 is a printout captioned “Competitive Market Analysis” (a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Administrative Complaint Exhibit 3) dated 01/20/06, ( after the effective date of Report 2), which reported only the number of bedrooms, baths, living area square footage, date and amount of sale, lot size, dollars per square foot and year built; 5) The Competitive Market Analysis document reflects that Comparable Sale 1 was built in 2003 and not 2005 as stated, that Comparable Sale 1 had 6,959 square feet of gross living area and not 5,708 as reported by Respondent, and that Comparable Sale 1 was sold in November 2005 for $2,418,000 and not in October 2005 for $2,400,000 as stated by Respondent; 6) Respondent reported 6,101 square feet of gross living area for Comparable Sale 2, but ISC records in Respondent’s work file show 6,261 square feet, MLS records in the work file report 6,101 square feet, and Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s records show 7,504 square feet; 7) Respondent reported 4,438 square feet of gross living area for Comparable Sale 3, while ISC records in Respondent’s work file showed 5,213 square feet and Property Appraiser’s records show 4,389 square feet. 9. Respondent was interviewed concerning the Cost Approach discrepancies between the two reports and stated that an unknown sales agent for the builder advised Respondent his per square foot reproduction cost was too low, that the site value increased with the increase in sales in the new development, and the $10,000 increase under “appliances” was for commencement of pool construction by the Subject Property’s owner. 10. Respondent acknowledged in the interview that the error in Report | regarding a non- 5 FDBPR v. Gerald W Rowley Case No. 2007013479 Administrative Complaint existent prior sale was due to a “cloning” error from an earlier, unrelated report.

DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, CRIMINAL JUSTICE STANDARDS AND TRAINING COMMISSION vs LARRY A. MOORE, 91-004480 (1991)
Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida Filed:West Palm Beach, Florida Jul. 19, 1991 Number: 91-004480 Latest Update: Mar. 02, 1993

Findings Of Fact At all times pertinent to the allegations contained in the Administrative Complaint, the Respondent, Larry A. Moore, was certified as a law enforcement officer and corrections officer in Florida. The Petitioner, Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, (Commission), is the state agency responsible for the certification of law enforcement and corrections officer in Florida. During the months of November and December, 1987, Respondent was employed as a police officer by the City of Riviera Beach, Florida. In December, 1987, Officer Chris Hamori was a traffic officer with the same department. He had been issued certain equipment for his personal use on duty in which he had placed his personal identification mark. The equipment, primarily a windbreaker, a raincoat, a flashlight and other items necessary for traffic accident investigation, was kept in the trunk of the patrol car signed out to him. He was the only operator of that vehicle, though numerous department cars, all of the same make and model, were identically keyed. Therefor, any key for any of the vehicles would open and operate any of the other identical vehicles. On December 8, 1987, Officer Hamori was assigned to teach a class at a junior college in the next county to the south. When he got there, it was raining and he went to the trunk to get his raincoat but found it missing. He had to get to class and so did not search the trunk at that time. During the mid-class break, however, he again went to the car to make a more thorough search and discovered that his trunk had been rifled and not only his raincoat but his windbreaker as well were missing. There was no evidence of breaking into the trunk. Officer Hamori reported the theft the next morning and went to the Department's property custodian to let them know as well. At that time he was issued another raincoat and windbreaker which, according to the property custodian, Ms. Bell, had just been turned in by the Respondent who was leaving employment with the Department. Officer Hamori noted, from the lack of patches on the windbreaker, that it was much like his and upon further checking, noted that his name appeared on the underside of the right sleeve where he had placed it when the garment was initially issued to him. He also noted that the raincoat had his name written on the inside of the placket where he had placed it when the coat was initially issued to him. From this, he determined that these two garments were the ones taken from his car, without his knowledge or permission, the previous day. Ms. Bell was quite certain that the items in issue here had been turned in to her that same day by the Respondent. When he brought them in, she cleared his property account and placed the items off to the side. She had not had time to place them back into stock. Notwithstanding Respondent's urging that other individuals than Ms. Bell had access to the property storage area, she indicated that no one else turned in any items of that nature that day. Respondent was the only one to turn in equipment that day and, as was stated, she had not put it back into stock when Hamori came in to ask for a reissue. It is found, therefore, that the property turned in by Respondent was the property issued to Officer Hamori and was the same property which had been taken from him without permission. Respondent urges that numerous people could have gotten into Respondent's patrol car and taken his property because of the large number of keys out that would fit it. This is true, but the evidence is uncontrovertible that the property turned in by the Respondent was the property taken from Officer Hamori's car the day before and there is some evidence in fact, that Respondent indicated to Sergeant Lobeck, his immediate supervisor, that he needed some equipment, including a raincoat, to turn in when he left the Department's employ. It is found, therefore, that Respondent is the individual who took the property in question from Officer Hamori's car. Had this not been discovered, the Department would have been out the cost of the equipment since, because it had been stolen from Hamori, Hamori would have been released from liability for it. Only the property initially issued to Respondent was not returned, and though he ultimately paid for it, at the time in issue, he took it from Hamori without authority. Toward the end of 1988, Assistant Chief of the West Palm Beach Department, attempted to locate the Respondent, then a patrolman with that agency, due to a schedule change. At that time, Respondent was not where he was supposed to be and had not advised the Department of his whereabouts. He was finally located at the Mt. Vernon Motor Lodge in West Palm Beach. Discussions with the manager of that facility indicated that the Respondent had moved out without paying the full amount of the room rent owed and had left his room in a messy and unclean condition. Abel Menendez was the manager of the Mount Vernon Motor Lodge during the period September through November, 1988. During that time, Respondent, who represented himself incorrectly as an employee of the Sheriff's office, rented a room at the motel, paying a rate therefor of $135.00 per week. Respondent was to pay his rent in advance and at first did so, but after a while, he began to get behind in his payments and Mr. Menendez had trouble finding him. When it became clear that Respondent could not bring his arrears current, Mr. Menendez agreed that he could make partial payments to catch up, but he never did so. Finally, in November, along with Mr. Fishbein, the motel owner, Mr. Menendez told Respondent he would have to pay up or move out. When Respondent first began to fall behind in his rent, Mr. Menendez contacted representatives of the West Palm Beach Police Department and gave them a summary of the charges owed by Respondent. The last payment made by Respondent was $135.00 on November 11, 1988, which left a balance due of $500.00 which was never paid. Respondent is alleged to have left the motel during the night of November 11, 1988. According to Mr. Menendez, Respondent "destroyed" the room before his departure. Some of his clothes and things were left in the room. The room was examined the following day by Sgt. Chappell, also of the Department, who had gone there to look for the Respondent at the direction of Captain Griffin. This officer observed holes punched in the walls, and trash and dirty diapers in the room. He never located Respondent. Chief Bradshaw subsequently spoke with the Respondent about this situation and based on the facts as he determined them, terminated Respondent's probationary status with the Department and discharged him. In their discussion, Respondent indicated he had an arrangement with the motel manager, but this was only partially true. The arrangement was to pay in installments but Respondent abandoned the room without doing so. He was locked out by the management the following day. Even though Respondent agreed with Chief Bradshaw to make payments of the amounts owed, he may not have done so. As a result, criminal charges were filed against him. The criminal charges were subsequently disposed of by a Deferred Prosecution Agreement entered into by the Respondent and the State in June, 1989. By the terms of that agreement, Respondent agreed to pay off the obligation at a rate no less than $100.00 per month. However, Mr. Moore never paid any money to the motel because, due to a total mixup in the motel's paperwork, they were never able to establish to whom the money was to be paid. As a result, the matter was ultimately disposed of by the State entering a nolle prosequi in the case. Respondent's public defender, Ms. Kretchmer, remembers Respondent's repeatedly indicating he wanted to pay off the obligation, however. Respondent's wife, with whom he was living in the motel prior to their marriage, recalls having offered Mr. Menendez $300.00 the day before the Moores moved out. Mr. Menendez would not take it, however, indicating he wanted to receive it from Respondent. When Respondent came by, she gave him the money and they went to Menendez to pay him but he would accept only $150.00 and told Moore to keep the rest and not worry about it because, due to the fact he was a policeman, they "needed him around there." Shortly thereafter, however, Mrs. Moore heard Mr. Menendez complaining to the police about the amount owed. She claims Moore tried to make payments several times and whenever he would do so, Menendez would get upset. It was her understanding that Menendez was getting pressure from his boss to collect what was due and get the records straight. He mentioned to her that the motel cash account was short and he was being accused of taking the money. There is some evidence that Moore was not the only one having trouble with rent payments at the motel at that time. When he found that out, he decided to move but Mr. Menendez begged him not to go because his presence as a policeman helped in curbing drugs, gambling and prostitution there. Mrs. Moore absolutely denies that she and Respondent ever hid from Mr. Menendez nor did they sneak out during the night. They checked out in broad daylight at 11:45 in the morning with Mr. Menendez standing by. At that time, Menendez threatened to call the police but, according to Respondent, he, Moore did so instead, but could get no one in authority to listen or help him. Even after they left, Moore called and spoke with Menendez several times but was still subsequently arrested on the defraud charge. According to Mrs. Moore, they at no time damaged the room. At the time they left, the motel was fixing the air conditioner which caused some damage, but that's the only damage in the room when they left. Before they left, she cleaned the room so that it was in the same condition when they left as it was when they moved in. Respondent claims that when he began work with the West Palm Beach Police Department he discussed his rent problems with police officials and told them he had an arrangement with the motel to pay off the arrears. He admits he then got behind and when he tried to pay, the figures kept changing because of the absence of rental records. When he left, his disagreement with the motel was over the amount owed. He called the police to get a witness to his request for a firm bill, but by that time, he had already been terminated and the police would not come out. He had already had his discussion with Chief Bradshaw who, he claims, had told him to take care of the bill whatever the amount. He felt this was unfair, however, because he was told to pay whatever was asked regardless of whether he owed it or not. Respondent was ordained and licensed as a minister by the Church of God, 629 5th Street, West Palm Beach, on January 3, 1992. His minister the Reverend Preston Williams has found him to be a nice person and a well mannered person dedicated to his work, who has served with him in the local ministry since 1985.

Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is, therefore; RECOMMENDED that a Final Order be entered in this case, dismissing the allegation of defrauding an innkeeper as alleged in the original Administrative Complaint, finding Respondent guilty of unlawfully taking the property issued to officer Hamori as alleged in the Amended Administrative Complaint, and revoking his certification as a correctional officer and as a law enforcement officer.
