WHEREAS, at the January 12, 2005 Committee of the Whole Meeting, Mayor Dermer
(acting also as the Chairman of the RDA) solicited input regarding the scheduling of one RDA
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
WHEREAS, in preparing the recommended meeting dates,the Administration set three(3)

meetings on Wednesdays; and 3) not to schedule RDA meetings during the month of August,while
the RDA is in recess; and

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEMORANDUM
TO: Chairperson Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the Redevelopment Agency
FROM: Kathie G. Brooks, Interim Executive Director -
DATE: November 14, 2012
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE MIAMI
BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (RDA), SETTING THE DATES FOR
THE YEAR 2013 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, 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.
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 need to be scheduled at a
later time to account for the County and School Board budget hearings as
required by State law, there is no alternate meeting scheduled.
Note: The Miami Beach Annual Boat Show is scheduled for February 14-18 with move-
in scheduled to start on February 8-13 and move-out scheduled on February 19-
23, 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 16 (Wednesday) January 23 (Wednesday)
February 20 (Wednesday) February 27 (Wednesday)
March 13 (Wednesday) March 20 (Wednesday)
April 17 (Wednesday) April 24 (Wednesday)
May 8 (Wednesday) May 22 (Wednesday)
June 5 (Wednesday)
July 17 (Wednesday) July 24 (Wednesday)
August-RDA in recess
September 11 (Wednesday)
October 16 (Wednesday) October 23 (Wednesday)
November 6 (Wednesday) - Election related only
November 20*(Wednesday) November 27 (Wednesday)
December 11 (Wednesday) December 18 (Wednesday)
*If runoff election only.
The proposed 2013 calendar calls for 10 regularly scheduled RDA meetings, 9 alternate
meetings, 2 election related 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.
