COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Rafael E. Granado, Secretary
DATE: November 18, 2020
SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE MIAMI
BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (RDA), SETTING THE DATES FOR
THE YEAR 2021 RDA MEETINGS. JOINT CITY COMMISSION AND
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Miami Beach City Charter, the RDA shall meet at such times as
may be prescribed by ordinance or resolution.
The City Clerk recommends that when preparing the RDA meeting calendar, the RDA take into
consideration the following events: U.S. Conference of Mayors; 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 RDA 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 presentations and awards only meetings be scheduled at different times throughout the
year. By placing the presentations and awards on an alternate meeting date, the regular 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/RDA meeting will provide the City Commission with 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/RDA meeting
may be utilized for items that are deemed emergencies and/or continued or not reached during
the previous Commission meeting. On those months without a separate Presentations and
Award/RDA meeting, the Presentations &Awards/RDA items will be heard at 5:00 p.m.
The City Clerk suggests that when scheduling the 2021 RDA meeting dates, the RDA
accomplish four goals: 1) schedule one RDA meeting a month; 2) schedule at least three
separate Presentations and Awards/RDA meetings per year (four are being proposed); 3)

schedule RDA meetings on Wednesdays, if at all possible; and 4) not schedule RDA meetings
during the month of August, while the RDA is in recess.
It is recommended that the RDA meetings be set as follows:
