COMMISSION MEMORANDUM NO. 1 -ci 2_
TO: Mayor Seymour Gelber and DATE:
October 8, 1992
Members of the City Commission
FROM: Roger M. Carl
City Manager 814,
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 92-20458, AS
AMENDED BY CITY OF MIAMI BEACH RESOLUTION NO. 92-20483 ,
ESTABLISHING AN ADVISORY CHARTER REVIEW AND REVISION
BOARD, BY PROVIDING THAT SAID BOARD SHALL BE DISSOLVED ON
OR BEFORE NOVEMBER 1, 1993 , AND BY PROVIDING THAT ALL
EXPENSES OF SAID BOARD (INCLUDING THE PROVISION OF EXPERT
PRESENTATIONS) TO BE ASSUMED BY THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution as requested by the Charter Review and Revision
Board, which extends the working-life of the Board by up to seven
months, and provides for funding of expenses.
BACKGROUND:
The creation of the Charter Review and Revision Board was approved
on February 19, 1992, with the hope that the Board might begin work
on April 1, 1992 . Criteria relating to membership on the Board was
subsequently amended on April 8, 1992 , and the final board member
was appointed in June. The first meeting was on September 21, and
the Board has initially agreed to meet for four hours, every two
weeks, and also to conduct a series of sub-committee meetings.
ANALYSIS:
Through no fault of the Board members, a delay in having a fully
appointed board, summer vacation schedule conflicts, and Hurricane
Andrew each contributed to the fact that the first opportunity for
the Board to meet was two weeks ago. The Board members have set a
busy schedule for the significant task of reviewing the City
Charter and recommending revisions to the City Commission; however
they are unanimous in the belief that April 1, 1993 , is too soon to
expect a completion of their assignment. They have recommended
that the City Commission approve an extension of up to seven months
for the Board to report their findings to the Commission, before
the Board automatically sunsets.
The enabling legislation for the Board did not anticipate a budget.
The proposed resolution would authorize funding for expenses such
as the cost of purchasing sample Charters, cassettes, the provision
of expert presentations, printing, duplication, staff, and public
notice advertising.
CONCLUSION:
The assignment given to this volunteer advisory board will require
many hours of complex analysis and several public hearings. The
Administration concurs with the request of the Board and recommends
adoption of the resolution.
