COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Raul J. Aguila, City Attorney
DATE: January 16, 2019 SECOND READING
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2 OF THE CODE OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, ENTITLED "ADMINISTRATION," BY
AMENDING ARTICLE III, ENTITLED "AGENCIES, BOARDS AND
COMMITTEES," BY AMENDING DIVISION 26, AND SECTIONS 2-190.106
THROUGH 2-190.111 THEREOF, ENTITLED "RESERVED," TO
-ESTABLISH THE "GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND OVERSIGHT
COMMITTEE," AND TO SET FORTH THE PURPOSE, POWERS AND
DUTIES, COMPOSITION, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE, AND
SUPPORTING DEPARTMENTS FOR THE COMMITTEE; AND, PROVIDING
FOR REPEALER, SEVERABILITY, CODIFICATION, AND AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
Pursuant to Commission Agenda Item C4B, sponsored by Mayor Dan Gelber on the
November 14, 2018 City Commission agenda, a discussion was referred to the November
30, 2018 Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) meeting regarding the
composition and qualifications for membership on a proposed General Obligation (G.O.)
Bond Oversight Committee.
At the November 30, 2018 FCWPC meeting, two proposed Ordinances were
considered and discussed. The attached draft Ordinance reflects the suggestions
recommended by the FCWPC relative to the addition of the chairs of the City's Budget
Advisory Committee and Sustainability Committee as ex-officio members, and the addition of
a category of "Neighborhood Leaders" as a knowledge or experience criteria. Additional
clarifying language as to terms for Committee members was added in subsections 2-
190.109(a) and (d).
As set forth in the proposed Ordinance, the G.O. Bond Committee would be tasked
solely with oversight duties and would not have any authority to act, other than in an advisory
capacity to the City Manager and City Commission. The proposed G.O. Bond Committee's
limited oversight and advisory powers are specifically intended to avoid the problems
associated with prior G.O. Bond committees, namely the exercise of de facto powers as to
project design and scope enhancements that resulted in costly design changes and project
delays.

Commission Memorandum
G.O. Bond Committee
January 16, 2019
This Ordinance was heard on First Reading at the December 12, 2018 City
Commission meeting. At the meeting, minor revisions were approved with respect to: a) the
City Commissioner's authority to modify, as well as ratify, the Mayor's appointments for the
Committee members' initial terms and b) the designation of the ex-officio members by the
other boards or committees they represent, rather than such ex-officio members being the
chairs of such other boards or committees.
As the General Obligation Bond Oversight Committee would be a new committee, a
517th vote of the City Commission is required to pass this Ordinance pursuant to Section 2-27
of the City Code.
