In the midst of negotiations between the Haifa Sailing Association and the municipality, the municipality issued an eviction letter to the association
In a letter signed by the lawyer of the Municipal Sea Authority, Topaz Keller, it is written that this is a warning before a lawsuit and that the municipality demands the evacuation of the Pacific Beach by 10/05/22.
The letter also claims that negotiations have been taking place between the municipality and the sailing association for several months, but the municipality feels that they are wasting their time and that the negotiations are not progressing. Moreover, the letter claims, that it seems to the municipality that the boating association is trying to get rich by using municipal property for its own private needs, which is not in good faith.
The sailing association operates on the Pacific coast. Its goals are to make sailing in Haifa accessible, competitive sailing, competitive surfing and activities at sea for populations with special needs. Until today, the association operated on the land that the municipality allocated to it, near the Rambam Hospital.
From the sailing association, we updated the surfers on the developments:
"On the eve of Passover, our surfers' team won incredible achievements in the national championship that took place last Saturday. Our children deserve all the respect!
A short time later we received the response of the Haifa municipality: the demand to vacate the area and threats of a lawsuit.
For the benefit of those who do not know the details, we will briefly describe: the area where our club exists, for decades, has been allocated to Haifa sailing activities by the Israel Ports Company (HANI). Hani has authorized the Haifa municipality to manage the place. In this framework, the Haifa municipality must support and develop the boating activity without receiving compensation. The Haifa municipality has signed an agreement with Hani in this regard. In conjunction with the signing of the agreement with Hani, the legal counsel of the municipality of Haifa drafted an agreement between the municipality and the entities that operate there, including Haifa Cruise. It turned out that this agreement was not signed as required and this was presented in an internal audit by the municipality's auditor as a defect that must be corrected. The mayor of Haifa today rejects the agreement drawn up by the legal counsel of the municipality of Haifa itself. The mayor's office is trying to impose another agreement, which is contrary to the conditions under which the municipality of Haifa was authorized to act. Moreover, the agreement that the mayor's office is trying to impose, poses an immediate existential risk to Haifa cruises.
The management of Haifa Cruises has been making honest and sincere attempts for nearly a year to reach a decent and fair agreement. The Haifa Cruise Management spent many months working together with the legal counsel at the Haifa Municipality, efforts that yielded agreements in principle on many issues. These agreements were repeatedly rejected by "authorized officials" (probably the mayor Mrs. Kalish Rotem and/or the senior deputy Mr. Nachshon Tzuk) in the Haifa municipality.
The Haifa Cruise management announced from the first moment that it was ready to sign the agreement drawn up by the Haifa Municipality's legal counsel years ago, but the Haifa Municipality is the one that strongly opposes it. The issue was brought up for discussion in the city council where the municipality was instructed to hold negotiations with Haifa Cruise Good faith. This guideline clearly describes how the city council interprets the mayor's conduct in this matter.
The management of Haifa Sailing will continue to make every effort to allow our children to rise and prosper in the Israeli Sailing Association, and to bring honor and value to the city of Haifa, despite the extremely hostile attitude that Haifa Sailing receives from the Haifa Municipality.
"Sheit Haifa has very strong arguments against the conduct of the Haifa municipality in this case, which we will present to the public and in the courts if the Haifa municipality chooses to try and carry out its threats."
"They wanted to impose an agreement on us, which we didn't see," the association said, "However, last week our lawyers and the municipality's lawyers reached an agreement on the two main issues - the right to vacate and when the agreement ends. I thought the matter was behind me. I thought we would sign an agreement with the municipality This week. We corresponded on Sunday. At 10:00 the municipality's lawyer said that if there are more than 5 comments, she will not read them."
"A few hours later, the municipality's lawyer informed us that she is being pressured to issue a harsh letter, and she hopes that this will not harm the negotiations between us. This is a 30-year-old club, we have 40 children on the continuum. We do amazing work and it's all voluntary. We don't understand the conduct of the municipality. They decided that there would be no activity of Sheit Haifa there. We have already agreed that we will close with the municipality. This is a lack of good faith."
The sailing club gave a response cheek here, Because from the letter and the conduct of the lawyer Topaz Keller, there appears to be a serious fear of improper political interference in the legal consulting work of the municipality: "The letter was issued during negotiations which, as of now, in our opinion, are not being carried out in good faith. We are considering our next steps."
The eviction letter the association received from the Haifa Municipality:
"We call on the association even now to regulate its activities on the Pacific coast"
The municipality said in response:
"The municipality of Haifa sees great importance in the activities of the sailing association and has therefore been working for about a year in an attempt to sign with the association a permissive agreement that will regulate its status and activities on the Pacific coast, as required by the rules of the proper administrator, the comments of the municipal auditor and as is done with other entities operating on the coast.
Unfortunately, despite all the many and sincere attempts made by the municipality to reach the girls, the association refused to this day to sign all the drafts that were forwarded to it and which were drawn up together with it in agreement after many hours of discussions and negotiations. In view of the importance of the issue, the municipality calls on the association even now to sign the agreement and settle her activity on the beach".
Oh well, Dr. is not a title that indicates a person's character - Dr. Kalish was convicted in the Local Affairs Court and was convicted again in her appeal to the District Court
She was required to pay tens of thousands of shekels, and in the settlement agreement in the Supreme Court BA 5179/18 the amount increased to only 150 thousand shekels
Who is to blame - Mibor who chooses a doctor according to the certificates and the Botox
As usual, they work on you - the designation of the land was determined a long time after the government's decision - in the records, the municipality of Haifa really but not the owner of the house, a disconnected company - and just hang up on them in their faces. As soon as the municipality applies to the Court of Appeals for eviction - the municipality will be in jail, what a chance that Klish will face another conviction soon,
The best beach in Haifa was occupied by a bunch of thugs who took over half of the beach and fenced it off in an ugly way. This is the place with the calmest water. And we the residents are supposed to squeeze into a small beach between the breakwater of the military base and their fence.
On Saturdays there is another problem - buses from neighboring cities come to this beach from all over the north and enter for free. In other words, we finance the cities in the north. Nof HaGilil, Migdal HaEmek, Yokneam, and more.
The beach is also occupied by a religious community that requires 3 men's days and 3 women's days. That means mixed families cannot come during the week.
In conclusion, anyone who is not a resident of Haifa should pay money at the entrance. Reduce the maritime school to a minimum of no more than 20 meters, from the breakwater and without an ugly fence.
The shore of the boats will be given to the religious and if they come from outside Haifa they will pay..like it used to be. And on Saturdays, all outside guests will also pay to enter there.
In my opinion, this is about increasing the area of the Haifa Sailing Association, at the expense of the quiet beach, the only separate beach in Haifa, which is used by the entire religious and ultra-Orthodox population of the city.
This beach is very small, compared to the other beaches, and considering that it is the only separate beach. Well, the municipality does what it wants to keep for bathing.
This beach should not have been declared "separate" in the first place. This is a denial of an accessible (in the sense of foot access from residential neighborhoods) and beautiful beach from families and the general population.
Shame and shame on the municipality of Haifa for the treatment it gives to these exceptional children and it hurts to take away the happiness and joy they feel there why let them feel ostracized without any thought and consideration these children are also allowed to enjoy
About six months ago, there was a similar story with the sailing club in Kiryat Haim, but then the municipality chose the developer and associations that did not win the tender claimed that the winning of the tender was not clean.
According to reports, the court ruled that the winner must vacate the premises by the end of 2021.
According to the situation in the field, this was not done.
It is not clear how the municipality conducts itself and what the considerations are and I hope that this time too the municipality will find a way to help the associations working for our child and not just support lawyers.
disgrace.
So appropriate for the policies of this shameful regime and its successors.
Shame and shame, the head of a town does everything against the city and its residents, closing down every blessed activity. Yesterday the dances, today the sailing club whose activity is so blessed, woe to us from tomorrow
