COMMISSION MEMORANDUM NO. ~
TO:
Mayor Neisen O. Kasdin and
Members of the City C mission
DATE: July 21) 1999
FROM:
Sergio Rodriguez
City Manager
SUBJECT:
A RESOL I OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 99-
23146 BY AMENDING THE COMPOSITION OF THE CODE
ENFORCEMENT TASK FORCE.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City Commission created the Code Compliance Task Force by Resolution on April 28, 1999.
The Task Force has six months in which to examine City Codes and make recommendations
regarding relevant codes, enforcement procedures, settlements, mitigation issues, and assess the fines
and liens which have been imposed through the Special Master process.
ANALYSIS
The Task Force will strive to update the City's Code Compliance laws and to recommend changes
as they deem appropriate. The Task Force was originally created as a nine member group with two
of the members being non-voting ex-officio (one designated by the City Manager and a
representative designated by the City Attorney). It is recommended that the committee structure be
reduced by these two members and not specify City staff. In so doing, staff will be able to more
efficiently assist the committee and interact with its members.
CONCLUSION
The proposed Resolution will enhance the Code Compliance Task Force's ability to function more
efficiently. The City Commission should approve the Resolution amending the makeup of the Code
Compliance Task Force.
