Commission Chair Marc Sarnoff brought up an issue regarding the Coconut Grove Playhouse at today's City Commission meeting.The pocket issue is a resolution asking Governor Charlie Crist and the members of the Florida Cabinet serving as the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund for the state of Florida to revert the Coconut Grove Playhouse back to the State of Florida as a result of the restrictions in the Quitclaim Deed, urging the State to then convey the playhouse to a newly formed, not for profit corporation called The Grove Playhouse Theater, Inc.
The new board would consist of Mr. Sarnoff, Mayor Tomas Regaldo, Kirk Landon, Ellen Moceri, Carlos Mogoya, Scott Silver and Carlos Gimenez.
The resolution will be sent as soon as the mayor signs it. They are asking for it to take effect immediately.
Sarnoff called the Playhouse a "big economic driver for the Grove" and said it is now time for the reverter clause to be used. The theater should have been opened within 30 days of closing, but it has been four years now.
