COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: November 9, 2016
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, SETTING THE DATES FOR THE YEAR 2017 CITY COMMISSION
MEETINGS. JOINT CITY COMMISSION AND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Miami Beach City Charter, the City Commission shall meet at
such times as may be prescribed by ordinance or resolution.
The Administration recommends that when preparing the City Commission 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 (Attachment A) & Religious Holidays (Attachment B).
In order to make the City Commission Meetings more efficient and prevent residents from
spending multiple hours waiting for a time certain item to be heard, Mayor Philip Levine
proposed in 2013 that all presentations and awards be heard at a separate meeting. By placing
the presentations and awards on an alternate meeting date, the regular City Commission
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 Commission Meeting.
The Administration suggests that when scheduling the 2017 City Commission Meeting dates,
the City Commission accomplish three goals: 1) schedule one City Commission meeting a
month; 2) schedule at least six Presentations and Awards/Commission Meetings per year; 3)
schedule Commission meetings on Wednesdays; and 4) not schedule Commission meetings
during the month of August, while the City Commission is in recess.
