Last year we mentioned in a blog post that there were documents on the City of Homestead website that appeared to be fabrications. These documents gave the Charter Schools and Red Apple Development rights to use the Sports Complex roadways for pick-up, drop-off, stacking and parking. The documents have signatures that verify the agreement date as March 3, 2009. The documents were created in 2011 and filed in 2011. Signatures of Sergio Purrinos and Elizabeth Sewell are not possible with the date of March 3, 2009. Mr. Ruiz is asking about those documents now. Hopefully, there will now be an investigation into these allegedly forged documents. Mr. John Ruiz has sent his own email to City Manager George Gretsas, it follows.

Subject: Homestead Sports Complex Lease Agreement Dated July 14, 2011
Dear Mr. Gretsas:It has come to my attention that you have taken the position on behalf of the City of Homestead that the agreement between La Ley Sports and Gigantes Baseball was not authorized by the lease agreement between La Ley Sports and the City of Homestead. La Ley Sports disagrees with your opinion and would refer you to the Lease agreement dated July 14, 2011.Specifically, pursuant to paragraph (19) of the agreement, NO ASSIGNMENT OR OTHER ENCUMBRANCES, the pertinent provision states as follows:Except as otherwise provided herein,the parties acknowledgeand agree that the foregoing shallnot prohibit the Tenant from enteringinto short-term license and/or user agreementsof portions of the Property.Accordingly, the user agreement entered into by La Ley Sports is authorized and consistent with the agreement. Moreover, the agreement is also consistent with the Purposes, Uses and Operation of Property as contemplated in paragraph (4) of the agreement.Additionally, a request is made for all documents pertaining to the use of the roadway from the East Section of the Stadium property where vehicles travel to pick up students at all of the adjacent schools. Please provide us with all permits obtained and all planning documentation as it pertains to this roadway. Also, please provide La Ley Sports with any documentation that evidences and/or allows the use of this roadway as is currently being used.By way of this email, we are also placing the City of Homestead on notice that the roadway presents a grave danger to all pedestrians but mostly kids that cross the road as cars travel at an excessive speed of rate with no traffic calming devices.We are placing the City on Notice that the use of the roadway is not in compliance with the lease agreement and that the charges for Utilities and Services are not in compliance with paragraph (6) of the lease agreement. The City is hereby placed on Notice pursuant to paragraph 20(b) that it is in default of the terms of the lease agreement. If you have any questions in regards to the foregoing please contact the undersigned.This e-mail was to formally place the City of Homestead on notice a more detailed letter will follow next week.
