DATE: January 22. 1986
FROM:

TO:
Mayor Alex
Members of
?
SUBJECT:
As I reported to you, at your last Commission Meeting, I am endorsing the concept of City
Commission Committees designed for the purpose of addressing key issues prior to full
Commission action. As I noted, this process would permit the review of the complex SSDI
negotiations by a Com~ittee on land Use and Development; issues tied to bonds and
finCY.'cing by a Finance Committee; and issues related to Code Enforcement and Sanitation
to be reviewed by an Environmental Committee. You wlll recall I advised that we begin this
process for a trial period to run through June, 1986.
Consequently, I am recommending the creation of the following Committees:
1. Finance Committee: Chaired by CommissIoner William Shackett with two
additional Commissioners to be appointed. It is anticipated that the Parking
Committee and the Bond Counsel Committee would become incorporated
into the Finance Committee. Staffed by Carla Talarico, Robert Nachlinger,
and Peter Liu.
2. Environmental CommIttee: Chaired by Commissioner Ben Grenald with two
additional Commissioners to be appointed. Staffed by Richard Fosmoen,
Jack Fidler, Braniard Dorris, Jerry Wallace, and Pablo Aguilera.
3. land Use and Development Committee: Chaired by VIce-Mayor Stanley
Arkin with two addItional CommIssioners to be appointed. Staffed by
Richard Fosmoen, Stuart Rogel, and Jud Kurlancheek.
4. Rules and Special Events Committee: Chaired by Commissioner Bruce
Singer with two additional Commissioners to be appointed. The current
, Plaques and Memorials Committee functions would be incorporated into this
new Committee with the additional responsibility of reviewing the City-
wide Citizens Committee Structure. Staffed by Carla Talarico and Zeke
George.
5. Capital Improvements Committee: Chaired by Commissioner Abe Resnick.
Staffed by BlU Harrison, Ed Underwood and Jud Kurlancheek.
6. Community Affairs Committee: Chaired by Commissioner Sidney Weisburd.
Staffed by Ron Rumbaugh and Shirley Taylor-Prakelt. .

become necessary. cr)f\ '; r,.'! I "~ S lor J

~<1t1 Administration's recommendation approved, see memorandum attached
to Action Summary for appointments.
DAOUD: Mr. Parkins, R-8B; Commission COI\IDittees.
PARKINS: Yes, sir. Mr'. Mayor and members of the City Commission, I'm going
to pass out to you a memo that reflects the discussion we've had previously
and begins to streamline somewhat some of the colllDittee procedures for the
Commission and for the Administration.
I reported to you at the Commission meeting that we are endorsing the
concept of City Commission committees designed for the purpose of addressing
key issues prior to full Commission action. As I noted, the process would
permit the review of the complex SSDI negotiations by the Commission on Land
Use and Development, issues tied to bonds and finance, by Fi~nce Committee,
issues related to Code Enforcement and Sanitation to be reviewed by an
Environmental COIIIIittee. You will recall I suggested that we begin the
process for a trial period to run through June 1986.
After review with you, Mr. Mayor, and review with the members of the
Commission, we've suggested the creation of the following committees: A
Finance Committee. We'd recommend it be chaired by COIIIIlissioner William
Shockett. We need two additional Commissioners to be appointed. You
suggested you'd want to do that on a request basis (unclear, overlap) ...
DAOUD: Yes, I'd like to. What I'd like to do is find out which
Commissioners would like to ...
PARKINS: be on which c01llli ttee?
DAOOD: Yes.
PARKINS: The second is the Environmental Committee chaired by CODftissioner
Ben Grenald, with two additional Commissioners to be appointed. The staff
persons are indicated.
Land Use and Development Committee, chaired by Vice Mayor Stanley Arkin.
There are staff persons also. These would be private development and
land use activities.
Rules and Special Events, chaired by Commissioner Bruce Singer. Two
additional Commissioners would be appointed. The Plaques and Memorials
Committee would then be incorporated into this and the additional
responsibility would be added to review the City-wide Citizens COlllDittee
structure. This is in line with a conversation that Commissioner Resnick and
I had most recently and we've had on other occasions with others of you, that
we need to review periodically the structure of our citizens' committees.
Fifth, Capital Improvements Committee, suggested chaired by Commissioner
Abe Resnick. That would be the major capital improvements of the city.
Sixth, the COlllDunity Affairs COllllittee, chaired by Commissioner Sidney
Weisburd. He had been involved with the Human Relations Committee if you
recall, and that would be a primary responsibility as well.
This is a recommendation to you. You may accept it as proposed. You
may change it in any way you would wish. Certainly if you accept it as
proposed, we'd ask if you could then begin to designate the additional
Commissioners for each. Keep in mind now that the committees will meet then
organizationally at first and we'll set up a regular schedule of activities.
They are "sunshine committees" and have to be noticed to the press.
DAOUD: Fine. All right, we'll take ... What I'll do is request that you
tell me which committees you would like to serve on.
COMMISSION MINUTES - 1/22/86
Page 53
r'-
~
RESNICK: Just a minute. Before we go ahead, 1 would like to mention that my
item, R-9N, which is called the improved department operations, is some way
related to this, was what Mr. Parkins had brought up.
I'I'BII R-9N DISCOSSICB RBGUDIlIG X.ROVBD DBPARI'IBI'l'AL OPBRA"I'IOIIS.
ACrIOR: Commissioner Resnick suggested that Commissioners be assigned as
liaison to oversee functions of various City departments.
Commissioner Singer suggested that such would be contrary to City
Manager/Commission form of government and that formulation/usage
of Commission committees (R-8B) would accomplish desired effect.
Mayor Daoud suggested Commissioner Resnick meet with City
Attorney regarding his proposal, and asked City Attorney to
submit report and recommendation for 2/5/86 meeting.
DAOOD: All right, do you want to bring that up?
RBSNIC!C: Yes, I would like to see how We can combine that. My idea was to
have each COJIIIlissioner take certain responsibility for sOIIle of the
departments rather than to have committees, because 1 feel cOllDlli ttees are
good sometimes, but committees are sometimes also a waste of time in the
sense that they tie up staff and it takes them quite a long time to come up
with some solutions. 1 felt that maybe each Commissioner, if he would be in
charge of some department, he would be able to look in and to see some
deficiencies and come up with some recommendations and then maybe bring it up
before a committee. So, maybe we can find some middle roadway for combining
R-88 and R-9II.
SHOCKBTT: Mr. Mayor. DAOUD: CODIIlissioner Shockett.
SHOCKETT: Yes, I'm not sure 1 understand what is meant by "taking charge of
a department", number one. This list, this suggested list of committees {R-
88), I think, is an excellent idea and it kind of like tracks what the County
does. Por instance, the Convention Center 8xpansion we met with Commissioner
Redford and his committee. They did all the leg work that had to be done for
Commission action and these committees here are for leg work for Commission
action as opposed to the function of the City administration through the
various departments. So, 1 think that, one, just because we're talking about
committees, 1 think it's totally separate and apart from the issues that are
raised by Commissioner Resnick because these are things that a Commissioner
does'. A Commissioner, if there are three, a chairman and two collUllittee
members, a lot of time that's taken up at a Commission meeting will be
avoided and this, again, goes to the legislative function of the City, which
is our function. So, 1 would like to address this separately and then hear
in more detail what COllDllissioner Resnick is talking about in terms of "taking
charge of a department" and having a Commissioner responsible or lOOking into
the operation of a department. We approved today, on the agenda, the Touche
Ross data acquisition, whatever you want to call that, because that is what
is necessary to analyze, or properly analyze, whether departments are
functioning properly and economically and whether they need to be combined,
or duplication of work and services. So, 1 think that's separate and 1 would
. . . The only suggestion 1 have on this list, and 1 would volunteer for
another committee as well, is that the Pinance Committee also include the
City Attorney (R-88) because you're talking about Bond Counsel Committee,
which is definitely legal-related. So, 1 would suggest that the City
Attorney also be included in that committee. I would like to be part of
cOllDllittee three, the Land Use and Development Committee. (R-88)
SINGER: Why don't we do this as far as that, the sheet that we got handed
out, I'm just putting my name on the top of it and circling the two that I'm
interested in and giving it to Mayor Daoud.
SHOCKETT: Well, everybody may want to be on the same collUlli ttee, so 1 think
it's worthy...
SINGER: Should we work it out now at the table? Is that what you want to
do?

8. North Shore Drive at south side of Fairway Drive
9. South Shore Drive at Ray Street
To date, the City has experimentally closed the five (.5) streets on Normandy
Isle, and the bridge on Biscayne Point. The closures to date are of a
temporary nature, and if made permanent will require a legislative policy,

To deal with these streets, pending and future similar issues, it is
recommended that the following policy be established:
Street closures will be limited to local residential streets (as
defined by the American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials), and as provided by Florida State
Statutes.
Consideration of street closures will require petitions outlining
the complete proposal, and signed by more than 50% of the
property owners affected.
Each considered closure, or group of neighborhood closures, will
require a Public Hearing providing the opportunity for input of
the affected property owner.

REGULAR AGENDA -FEBRUARY 21. 1990
1.-1. REOUESTS FOR. AGENDA CONSIDERATION
A. REQUEST OF HAROLD J. SEGAL, PRESIDENT, AND HARLEY C. WILLNER, PRESIDENT-ELECT. MIAMI BEACH
TAXPAYERS' ASSOCIATION, INC.. TO DISCUSS "... RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE ASSOCIATION REGARDING
~HE GELBER REPORT.. .".
1. 2/6/90 LETTER FROM ACTING CITY ATTORNEY TO COMMISSIONER WILLIAM E. ,SHOCKETT I.E. JUDGE
GELBER'S REPORT ON THE HOMESTEAD MATTER, WITH COMMISSIONER SHOCKETT'S 12/12/89 LETTER
REQUEST.
2. 2/15/90 MEMORANDUM FROM ACTING CITY ATTORNEY TO MAYOR/COMMISSIONERS/CITY MANAGER I.E.
LIABILITY OF FINE JACOBSON SCHWARTZ NASH BLOCK & ENGLAND FOR THE ACTIONS OF GERALD
HEFFERNAN ON 3/15/89 REGARDING THE HOMESTEAD RESOLUTION.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: THAT THE CITY COMMISSION HIAa MESSRS. SEGAL AND WILLNER.
ACTION: Messrs. Segal and Willner presented the Association's resolution requesting the
Commission to schedule a full discussion of the Gelber Report by all interested parties, with
particular reference to the following conclusions/recommendations:
1. Require written opinions of the City Attorney and bond counsel.
2. Open discussion of the bond counsel's actions and responsibility to the City.
3. Curb/modify use of the Consent Agenda, especially for monetary matters.
4. That the Finance Committee enact procedures/policiesjbylaws enumerating its
responsibilities, and that all funding matters be referred to it.
5. Establish/maintain more open lines of communication between the City Manager and City
Commission. and City government and the public.
.
The Commission adopted the Association's specific recommendations detailed in it~ resolution.
Commissioner Singer suggested the Commission direct the Administration or City Attorney to
submit a written procedure regarding written opinions from the City Attorney and hond counsel
when the Commission makes decisions of great importance which require the City's financial
backing. He requested that the Administration review the Gelber Report and submit a written
recommendation as to the type of items that should/should not be placed on the Consent
Agenda. He also advised that procedures were established when the Commission subcommittees
were created, and suggested a copy of those procedures be given to Messrs. Segal and Willner
for review/recommendation for strengthening
Commissioner Shockett advised that he asked the Acting City Attorney to review/comment on
Judge Gelber's Report and related transcripts, and the resulting 2/6/90 report reflected some
misconceptions; that in Judge Wetherington and Ms. Dougherty's opinion. the Commission acted
very responsibly at all times. The City Attorney advised that the Gelber Report brought out
the bond counsel's liability and the Finance Committee issue, which must be put in context
with Judge Wetherington's deci~ion; that it did not matter whether or not the decision was
delayed to be presented to the Finance Committee since Judge Wetherington's opinion stated
that the City did not have any discretion since it did not have a competing project on the
books at that time. She advised that bon,l counsel misguided the Commission. broke his
fiduciary relationship to the City and shoulll have advised who he was representing. but had
no liability to the City because Judge Weth~r.ington exonerated him in his opinion.
Public hearing tentatively scheduled for 3/21/90 at 5:00 p.m. (subject to availability of
Commissioners) to review reports on the matter. The Association will review all pertinent
documents and submit report/recommendation at the hearing. The City Attorney offered tc
discuss the matter further with the Association.
Note: Mr. Willner advised that the Association's Flamingo Park baseball facilities
resolution was presented 2/7/90, so no action was required at this time on that matter.

SUBJECT:
The Parking Department, on August 31, 1990, fully implemented all
phases of the six-month trial period for the Ocean Drive parking
strategy. The last official day' of the trial period will be
February 28, 1991; therefore, further City commission approval is
required for the extension of the residential permit portion of the
strategy.
The residential permit has been the most successful part of the
overall plan, both in terms of residents satisfaction and
Department administration and enforcement. A total of 168 permits
were sold to residents of the area at a cost of $75. Last month
the Parking Department received 23 letters in favor of keeping the
permits; none have been received in opposition.

The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the
Ocean Drive Residential Permit Program as a permanent City policy,
effective March 1, 1991, with no change of the associated cost of
$75 semi-annually.

SUBJECT:
FINDING OF FACT THAT THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT $UPPORTS AN INFERENCE
THAT MINORITIES AND WOMEN HAVE NOT PROPORTIONATELY SHARED IN
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNmeS AND SETIlNG A POUCY TO PROMOTE THEIR
INCREASED PARTICIPATION IN THE CITY'S WORK FORCE.
BACKGROUND
During the past year, the City has had to deal with many issues regarding
allegations of discrimination relating to employment and promotional
opportun it i es for mi nori ties with i n the City's work force. Concurrent with these
issues, is the changing demographics of our community as confirmed by the 1990
U.S. Population Census.
In response to these and other issues, the Administration established as its
number one priority for the 1991/92 fiscal year, "to increase minority
representation within the City's work force".
To assist in accomplishing this goal, Mr. Hilton Vickers, of Embassy Marketing
& Consulting Services, a local minority owned company, was engaged to review our
existing Affirmative Action policy, legislation, relevant Federal, State and
local laws, and current work force statistics, and to make recommendations for
the City to revise and implement an effective Affirmative Action Program.
The review of our work force statistics was necessary to determine if minorities
and women have proportionately shared in employ~ent opportunities within the City
of Miami Beach. A finding of fact is a necessary pre-requisite, prior to the
City entering into any type of voluntary Affirmative Action Program. (Citv of
Richmond v. J.A. Croson Co.. 109S.Ct.706 (1989): Peiahtal v. Metropolitan Dade
County. U.S.L.W.(1991))
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
A statistical analysis of the City's work force was compared to that of the Dade
County Population, the Miami SMSA, Metro-Dade County employees, and City of Miami
employees using race, gender and ethnicity factors.
The results of this statistical analysis support an inference that minorities and
women have not proportionately shared in employment opportunities with the City
of Miami Beach when compared to similar data for Dade County, the Miami SMSA,
Metro-Dade County work's force, and City of Miami's work force.
A copy of the report is attached.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission accept the findings of the
attached report and adopt a resolution setting forth a policy to promote and
increase the participation of minorities and women in the City's work force
pursuant to a voluntary Affirmative Action Program.
