meeting a month; and
WHEREAS, subsequent to Mayor Dermer's request, this issue was referred to the
Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee for discussion; and
WHEREAS,the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee met on March 29, 2005, and
was presented with the idea of having one RDA meeting a month and an alternate meeting
scheduled the following week; and
WHEREAS,this would allow the RDA to continue the meeting because of the lateness of the
hour or if a particular item(s) may cause the meeting to run very late, to continue the item(s) not
handled to the following Wednesday; and
WHEREAS, because the same RDA agenda will be used, no Member/Executive Director
Agenda reviews will be required; and
WHEREAS, it also allows the Chairman and the Members of the RDA, and the
Administration, to reserve the Wednesday following a RDA meeting so that scheduling of a
continued meeting, if necessary, does not result in scheduling problems; and

implemented in May 2005; and

FROM. Jorge M. Gonzalez, Executive Directo
DATE December 14, 2011 4110
SUBJECT. A RESOLUTION OF THE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE MIAMI
BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (RDA), SETTING THE DATES FOR
THE YEAR 2012 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETINGS.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Mayor and City Commission also sit as the Redevelopment Agency Board and
schedule the Redevelopment Agency meetings to coincide with the City Commission
Meetings.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency By-Laws, the Redevelopment
Agency (RDA) shall meet at such times as prescribed by resolution.
In preparing the RDA Meeting calendar the Administration takes into consideration
events such as the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Miami-Dade County Days, Art Basel,
August recess, September to set the tentative/final millage and the budget approval
process, and if an election year then November for election/runoff election meetings, and
finally Federal and Religious Holidays. Considering the above it is difficult to always
schedule meetings on the same Wednesday of the month.
In preparing the recommended meeting dates, the Administration set three (3) goals: 1)
schedule one (1) RDA meeting and one (1) alternate meeting a month; 2) schedule RDA
meetings on Wednesdays; and 3) not to schedule RDA meetings during the month of
August, while the RDA is in recess.
In preparing the recommended meeting dates, the Administration set three (3) goals: 1)
schedule one (1) Commission meeting and one (1) alternate meeting a month; 2)
schedule Commission meetings on Wednesdays; and 3) not to schedule Commission
meetings during the month of August, while the City Commission is in recess.
The Administration met the goals with the following exceptions:
Exception 1: In June, due to Art Basel beginning on June 13, there is no alternate
meeting scheduled.
Exception 2: In September, due to Budget Hearings that will be scheduled at a later
time, there is no alternate meeting scheduled.
Note: The Miami Beach Annual Boat Show is scheduled for February 16-20 with move-
in scheduled to start on February 9-15 and move-out scheduled on February 21-
24, which creates significant parking and traffic challenges for the City Hall area.
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) meetings be set as follows:
RDA Meetings Alternate Meetings
January 11 (Wednesday) January 18 (Wednesday)
February 8 (Wednesday) February 15 (Wednesday)
March 21 (Wednesday) March 28 (Wednesday)
April 11 (Wednesday) April 18 (Wednesday)
May 9 (Wednesday) May 16 (Wednesday)
June 6 (Wednesday)
July 18 (Wednesday) July 25 (Wednesday)
August- RDA in recess
September 12 (Wednesday)
October 24 (Wednesday) October 31 (Wednesday)
November 14 (Wednesday) November 21 (Wednesday)
December 12 (Wednesday) December 19 (Wednesday)
The proposed 2012 calendar calls for 11 regularly scheduled RDA meetings, 9 alternate
meetings, and an additional special budget RDA meeting will be scheduled at a later
time in September.
In preparing the calendar, City-designated holidays and religious holidays have been
taken into consideration. Attachment "A" is a list of City of Miami Beach holidays.
