ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Between the last meeting in July 1999, and the first meeting in September 1999, the City
Commission will not be in session. During this period of time there may be contracts in excess of
the $10,000 limitation which may need to be awarded and projects which need timely action. The
City Commission has historically, during such periods, assigned certain powers to the City Manager
subject to ratification by the City Commission.
Additionally, administrative appeals to the City Commission, as provided in Subpart B, Land
Development Regulations of the Code of the City of Miami Beach, would be unable to be held
between the last meeting in July 1999, and the first meeting in September 1999. Therefore, any
required acts relative thereto should be tolled during said period.
It is therefore requested that the City Manager, or his Designee, be authorized to receive and process
any petitions for initiatives and referendums; sign all required contracts, agreements, purchase

temporarily renew any existing contracts, for thirty (30) days, if necessary; and toll all acts relative
to administrative appeals provided for in Subpart B, Land Development Regulations of the Code
of the City of Miami Beach, from the last Commission meeting in July 1999, until the first
Commission meeting in September 1999, subject to ratification by the City Commission at its first
meeting in September 1999.
CONCLUSION
Since this authorization is necessary to ensure that essential services and projects continue during
the period between the last Commission meeting in July 1999, until the first Commission meeting
in September 1999, it is recommended that the City Commission approve this Resolution.
