Special Master appointed by the City Commission.
Pursuant to Miami Beach City Code Section 118-537(b)(3), the Special Masters appointed to
hear such appeals shall be attorneys who are members in good standing with the Florida Bar
and have expertise in the area of historic preservation. Special Masters shall serve terms of
three years, provided however, that they may be removed without cause upon a majority vote of

On the determination of City Attorney Raul J. Aguila that John C. Dellagloria possesses the
knowledge, skills and attributes to perform as a Special Master pursuant City Code Section 118-
537(b)(3), and my concurrence with such determination, I am recommending Mr. Dellagloria's

12, 2015; he was reappointed in 2016 for an additional one-year term ending on March 10,
2017.
If reappointed, Mr. Dellagloria will be the Special Master appointed to hear appeals of decisions
of the City's Historic Preservation Board.
