ANALYSIS
The Mayor and City Commission also sit as the Redevelopment Agency Board, and
schedule the Redevelopment Agency meetings to coincide with the City Commission
meetings. Pursuant to the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency By-Laws, the
Redevelopment Agency(RDA) shall meet at such times as prescribed by resolution.
The Administration recommends that when preparing the RDA meeting calendar, the
City Commission take into consideration the following events: U.S. Conference of
Mayors; Miami-Dade County Days; Art Basel; ICMA Conference; August recess;
September to set the tentative/final millage and budget approval; November for
election/runoff election meetings (if it is an election year); and Federal & Religious
Holidays.
In order to make the City Commission/RDA Meetings more efficient and prevent
residents from spending multiple hours waiting for a time certain item to be heard, Mayor
Philip Levine in 2013 proposed that all presentations and awards be heard at a separate
meeting. By placing all presentations and awards on the alternate meeting date, the
regular City Commission/RDA meetings will start business on time, which will increase
the likelihood that time certain agenda items are taken up at the time listed, or closely
thereafter. Additionally, having a designated Presentations and Awards Commission
Meeting will allow the City Commission an opportunity to properly acknowledge and
show gratitude to those individuals or groups who have taken an active role in serving
our community. If needed, the Presentations and Awards Commission Meeting may be
utilized for items that are deemed emergencies and/or continued or not reached during
the previous RDA Meeting.
In preparing the recommended meeting dates, the Administration set three goals: 1)
schedule one RDA meeting and one Presentations and Awards RDA meeting a month, if
possible; 2) schedule RDA meetings on Wednesdays; and 3) not schedule RDA
meetings during the month of August, while the RDA is in recess.
