SUBJECT: RESOLUTION 2010-27431 URGING THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-
DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA TO AMEND CHAPTER VIII OF THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
CODE TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH TO ESTABLISH AN UNSAFE
STRUCTURES BOARD TO BE COMPRISED OF FIVE MEMBERS APPOINTED BY
THE MIAMI BEACH CITY COMMISSION WITH THE SAME POWERS AND DUTIES OF
THE UNSAFE STRUCTURES BOARD OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
The purpose of this letter is to transmit the resolution from the City Commission of the City of Miami
Beach approved on July 14, 2010 urging the County to create an opt-out provision for the Unsafe
Structure Board on the County Ordinance.
At the meeting on June 30, 2010 attended by Miami-Dade County Commissioner Bruno Barreiro,
Miami Beach Commissioner Jonah Wolfson, Miami-Dade County Building Director Charles Danger,
Miami Beach Building Director Alex Rey and other city staff to discuss the 40 year Recertification
process, it was suggested by Mr. Danger that the City of Miami Beach should request the County to
create its own Unsafe Structure Board.
The City Commission is interested in this option given that it will result in quicker processing of cases,
a better understanding of the local architectural and historical aspects of the City and easier access to
our residents to be able to participate in the board's meetings.
It is the City's intent to manage the local board consistent with the approved County Ordinance for
Unsafe Structures Board.
Sincerely yours,
~-~~~
