Resolution 11632 -------------
RESOLUTION NO. 11632
WHEREAS, the inevitable problems which confront a munici-
pality as unique and beyond compare as the City of Miami Beach
in the very nature of things possess a depth and breadth and
are so fraught with complexity and consequence as to challenge
the imagination and require the inspired efforts of all its
dedicated citizenry to achieve solution, and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Miami Beach has
found and determined that the creation and maintenance of ad-
visory boards comprised in whole or in part of citizens of the
community, invariably serving without compensation or remunera-
tion but giving richly and without stint the full measure of
their endowments of specialized skills, knowledge and exper-
ience, all for the encouragement, enhancement and augmentation
of the general welfare and economic benefit of the City and its
residents, and
WHEREAS the City of Miami Beach and its residents are the
perpetual beneficiaries of the advice and guidance given by
such advisory boards to the City Council of the City of Miami
Beach, and
WHEREAS it is the consensus of the City Council of the
City of Miami Beach that the appointment to andmembership of
any such dedicated citizen on more than one board created and
constituted by the City Council of the City of Miami Beach,
whether such appointment is made by the City Council ,
an individual member thereof or by the City Manager, requires
an unwarranted and inequitable sacrifice and demanu upon the
time, energies, efforts, industry and devotion of the dedica-
ted citizenry herein referred to, and
WHEREAS such duality of membership can of course create no
conflict of interest, because of the character and unified
objectives of the citizens comprising such boards, but
WHEREAS there are numerous citizens in the City of Miami
Beach equally endowed with the same specialized skills, and
knowledge of experience hereinabove alluded to, and equally
imbued with the generous, unselfish desire to serve their
fellow citizens, but who presently possess no membership on any
Advisory Board of the City of Miami Beach,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, as follows:
1. That from hereon and henceforth no person shall be
appointed to or serve upon more than one City Board created and
constituted under authority of any Act of the Legislature,
Ordinance eResolution of the City Council if so appointed or
so serving shall designate in writing to the City Clerk not
less than fifteen (15) days after the existence of duality of
membership upon which Board he desires to serve or continue to
serve, and the absence of such designation, shall be deemed
a forfeiture of membership in each and every Board to which he
has been appointed,

2. That the foregoing provision shall be applicable to all
Boards of the City of Miami Beach without any exclusion of
whatsoever nature,
3. Further providedthat none of the foregoing provisions
shall be applicable to any Board wherein the Mayor, City
Manager or other City officer is a member ex virtute officii,
and
4. Be it further provided that any member of any City
Board herein alluded to upon announcement that he is or upon
qualification as a candidate for any elective public office,
whether Federal, State, County or Municipal, shall be deemed to
have forfeited his membership on such Board and a vacancy shall
be deemed to automatically occur without any action by the City
Council, and such vacancy shall be filled in the same manner as
the pre-existing appointment was made.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 20th day of October, 1965 .
