WHEREAS, issues concerning the water quality of Biscayne Bay and the
protection of its natural habitats, sea grasses, corals, and mangroves are of the utmost

WHEREAS, although the Miami -Dade County League of Cities has five
committees that address various matters of Countywide concern, such as
transportation, legislation, the County budget, energy, the environment, and natural
resources, a Committee should be formed comprised of elected officials representing
each of the Bayfront municipalities in the County (i.e., Aventura, Coral Gables,
Homestead, Key Biscayne, Miami, Miami Beach, North Miami, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest,
Sunny Isles Beach, and Surfside) to consider and address measures to ensure that
Biscayne Bay waters remain clean and a viable habitat for local wildlife and sealife; and
WHEREAS, although Miami -Dade County is creating a Biscayne Bay Task
Force, such entity is primarily a technical and administration -based working group to
consider strategies to address issues impacting Biscayne Bay; and
WHEREAS, a committee comprised of local officials would be advantageous in
formulating comprehensive and countywide policies relative to Biscayne Bay.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby urge the Miami -Dade County League of Cities to create a
committee dedicated to the protection and conservation of the Biscayne Bay
