The District Task Forces are to review project issues that are pertinent by location within the district, or by impacts to the district. As ad-hoc bodies, the Task Forces remain active as long as there is a valid purpose for each. The number of members of each of the task forces may be self-determined but must, at a minimum, be five, including the two members of the Oversight Committee for the respective district. One of the Oversight Committee members will be the Chairperson of the respective district G.O. Bond Program Implementation Task Force. The two members of the Oversight Committee for each district will recruit members for their respective District Task Force. The membership of each District Task Force must be approved by the City Commission and must provide equal and fair representation for each neighborhood identified during the public involvement process.

Goldfeder spoke about the impor- tance of retailing tJ the economy, the need to repeal apparel import quotas and to reduce taxes, "Nationally, retailing alone is a trillion-dollar busine:')," according to Goidferler, "One out cf four businesses in Dade County is a retail establish- ment and one out of five of your fellow residents either is a retailer or works for one." Goldfeder criticized apparel quotas by quoting from a Federal Trade Commission study, The study showed that quotas on nine apparel cat'egories from Hong Kong saved 8,900 American jobs at a cost of 5308 million to tn~ American consumer, One Communi!y One Goal: Creating Jobs for the 2 I st Century EXECUTIVE SUMMARY One Community One Goal was created in 1995 to develop a vision and a plan for Dade County's economic future. The initiative's strategy was to obtain a county-wide consensus, of all economic development groups, to ensure that the vision becomes a reality. The Need The County's population will increase by over 500,000 people between 1995 and 2005, but only generate 135,000 new jobs (according to Metro-Dade County and the University of Florida estimates). However, this increase in population is expected to demand 230,000 to 255,000 new jobs, based on U.S. Department of Labor data trends. Thus, assuming the accuracy of the current census data, to ensure that Dade's unemployment is no worse than the national average, there must be a supp'ly to fill a shortfall of at least 120,000 jobs. That figure does not include those who will move from the welfare rolls to unemployment rolls as a result of recent welfare legislation. The challenge is to provide sufficient, rewardin~ jobs for all segments of our present and future work force -- regardless of their capabilities and socio-economic standing. To do that Dade County must target industries that accelerate both the growth of above- average income jobs and the creation of entry-level support jobs. The first &rass roots effort organized by Dade County's businesses culminated in a strate- gic planning conference conducted in March 1996 by Arthur Andersen consultants with the Board or One Community One Goal (list included). At the conference, industries were identified that offered above national average employ'ment and income growth potential. These industries were evaluated for their suitability for the South Florida region and to determine whether they met the essential criteria of job and income creation. Factors reviewed included suitability for the region (for example, geographic, transporta- tion, raw material and personnel needs), potential world-wide markets for their products and the ability of those industries to stimulate entry-level jobs. The target industries that met the criteria are (in alphabetical order): - Bio-Medical -Film & Entertainment - Financial Services -Information Technology -International Commerce - Merchandise Trade - Professional Services (the export of) - Health Care Services (the export of) and - Business Investment - Telecommunications -Visitor Industry Objective On.e Community One Goal ultimately exists to recommend short-term community ?ctlons that will grow Dade County's share of employment and revenues by increasing Job creation rates in seven, ta'1$eted rapid-growth/higher-paying industries. High-paying jobs in fast ~rowing industries In turn create others at all levels that cut across govern- mental, SOCial, ethnic, economic and political constituencies. The result is a growing cadre of high paying jobs in growing industries that foster mean- in~ful career laaders for present and future workers. These growing industries will maxi- mize projected job growth by the year 2005. Activities For each of the targeted industries selected, a Community Task Force will be established. To ensure a wide base of involvement, the Community Task Forces will be organized in association with The Beacon Council, the Coalition of Chambers, the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, the schools and universities, the World Trade Center and others and supported by a Board of Economic Development Advisors and a Board of Research Advisors. The first year the following Task Forces will be established: Bio-Medical, Film & Entertainment and International Commerce with its four sub groups of Merchandise Trade, Professional Services, Health Care Services and Business Investment. In the second year, the remaining four Task Forces will be established: Financial Services, Information Technology, Telecommunications and the Visitor Industry. Each task force will be organized by community and industry leaders and be staffed by dedicated professional researchers. The Beacon Council, the Downtown Development Authority, Florida International University, Metro-Dade Planning, Development and Regulation Department, Miami International Airport, and the Port of Miami have assigned staff members to this project. The consulting firm of Arthur Andersen has agreed to pro- vide direction and gUidance throughout the process and Behavioral Science Research has agreed to manage the program of work. Program of Work A specific program of work has been prepared for each industry task force with timelines for completion of each section. A summary of the sections follows (as each has a number of steps): ' I. Establish the industry's profile database: define the industry in Dade County,nationally and internationally. What are its characteristics, size and growth to date. II. Gather industry-specific data to track trends. Contact trade associations, industry associations, unions, etc. III. Schedule a PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION WORK SESSION with industry members to generate priority lists of Dade's strengths and weaknesses. Verify that information by scheduling interviews with industry leaders in Dade County. Schedule a Strengths & Weaknesses work session to com- pare findings, clarify impediments and summarize data collected. IV. Identify key competitor cities as well as cities where civic action has stimu- lated industry growth. Obtain interviews with non-Dade industry leaders in person or by phone to understand how they solved their problems, to de- velop the Threats and Opportunities segment. Compare and summarize. V. Schedule Task Force Strategy Development Sessions to create a consoli- dated plan -- a cross-industry draft agenda for action. 2 2/27/97 I ... ~ ..c 15 ... \0. .0 _0 ~O "'OC c..c ~U -~ G.2 :o~ ~"'O Ec o~ ;~ Uu ~::J Q)"'O ,0 ~a.. ... x~ _U (.I)';:; c~ ~u E~ ::JE ... ... v;~ c..c .- 0.. ~v) c~ ~.~ "'0> "'O~ c"'O ~"'O c ~~ u'" :r ~) , e:cl: o~ o.o-;:e .~ U ....- ::J"'O ....Q) ~E '"5~ c~ ~~ Eo "'00.. c.~ ~"'O .... , c....

I think it is time that in boards, besides the Housing Authority, we, the low-income residents of Miami Beach, are represented in order to have the real needs of the community properly addressed, not just the interest of a few, I believe that this money should be carefully expended, I would like to have the opportunity to share my life experiences and my acquired knowledge with the Housing Authority, We will build together an even greater city, I have earned a reputation as a Housing Authority Commissioner to be very cautious when it comes to where to expend the taxpayers money. I am an energetic, self-motivated single parent and I am very determined to be part of the changes taking place at this city, If you give me this opportunity I assure you, you will not be disappointed, Thank you for your consideration, ~~~~ Ruth E, Pasarell Ruth Pasarell- Valencia Address: 1125 Marseilks Drive, #8B Miami Beach, Florida 33141 Home: Office: Pager: (305) 867-1434 (305) 532-640 I (305) 874-0099 EMPLOYMENT OBJECTIVE Obtain a position which will enable me to use my kno\vledge. skills and expereince to help an employer acheive its goals while also allowing me to continue developing and advancing.
