COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Rafael E. Granado, City Clerk
DATE: December 12, 2018
SUBJECT A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, SETTING THE DATES FOR THE YEAR 2019 CITY
COMMISSION MEETINGS. JOINT CITY COMMISSION AND REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Miami Beach City Charter, the City Commission shall meet at such
times as may be prescribed by ordinance or resolution.
The City Clerk recommends that when preparing the City Commission meeting calendar, the City
Commission take into consideration the following events: U.S. Conference of Mayors; Miami-Dade
County Days; Art Basel; ICMA Conference; August recess; September to set the tentative/final
millage and budget approval; November for election/runoff election meetings (if it is an election year);
and Federal (Attachment A)& Religious Holidays (Attachment B).
In order to make the City Commission meetings more efficient and prevent residents from spending
multiple hours waiting for a time certain item to be heard, Mayor Philip Levine proposed in 2013
that presentations and awards only meetings be scheduled at different times throughout the year. By
placing the presentations and awards on an alternate meeting date, the regular City Commission
meetings will start business on time, which will increase the likelihood that time certain agenda items
are taken up at the time listed, or closely thereafter. Additionally, having a designated Presentations
and Awards Commission meeting will provide the City Commission with an opportunity to properly
acknowledge and show gratitude to those individuals or groups who have taken an active role in
serving our community. If needed, the Presentations and Awards Commission meeting may be utilized
for items that are deemed emergencies and/or continued or not reached during the previous
Commission meeting. On those months without a separate Presentations and Awards meeting, the
Presentations &Awards items will be heard at 5:00 p.m.
The City Clerk suggests that when scheduling the 2019 City Commission meeting dates, the City
Commission accomplish four goals: 1) schedule one City Commission meeting a month; 2) schedule
at least three separate Presentations and Awards/Commission meetings per year (five are being
proposed); 3) schedule Commission meetings on Wednesdays; and 4) not schedule Commission
meetings during the month of August, while the City Commission is in recess.
