Pursuant to notice the Board of Directors of Plaza East Association, Inc. met in special session on Tuesday October 7, 2008 at 7:00 P.M. in Lobby 3, 4300 N. Ocean Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308. Directors in attendance were James Brady, Robert Buehler, Donald Galczak, Rafick Henein, Richard Madey, Armando Namis, Tim Smith and Alex Soufrine. Absent were Jeanne Poore, DiAnne Shumard and John Toklucu. Also present was Property Manager David Beswick. Mr. Smith chaired the meeting and Mr. Beswick recorded the proceedings. The meeting was called to order at 7:07 P.M. and began with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Being that there is no Secretary, President Smith directed Mr. Beswick to proceed with Roll Call, and a quorum was established.
 
Thereafter, President Smith announced that the Contract Review Committee has been interviewing firms to provide engineering services, architectural services and construction management services for the upcoming garage and deck restoration project. President Smith explained that six firms had been reviewed by the committee and were then short-listed to three firms. Representatives from ACAI Group; Jacobs, Carter Burgess; and the Shiff Group were interviewed by the CRC on September 16, 2008, and given an opportunity to present their qualifications. President Smith also presented a Contract Review Committee Memorandum indicating that the CRC was recommending that the project be awarded to The Shiff Group.
 
 Thereafter, President Smith introduced Mr. Michael Shiff of The Shiff Group, a design/build/architecture firm. Mr. Shiff introduced the members of his team including Justin Shiff, who holds a General Contractor’s license, Derek Wassink who is President of TRC Worldwide Engineering and Michael Pirich, landscape architect. The team from Shiff Group then gave a presentation of their qualifications and answered questions from the Board and Membership.
 
Thereafter, upon motion by Mr. Madey, seconded by Mr. Henein, it was voted to proceed with the Shiff Group and approve Phase 1 of the proposal, then review the data and decide on continuing before proceeding to phase 2, by all Board members present save Mr.. Brady, who abstained from voting due to a personal relationship with Mr. Michael Shiff.
 
Thereafter, it was unanimously voted to adjourn at 8:47 P.M.
 
Respectfully Submitted,
