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."
In preparing the recommended meeting dates, the Administration set three (3) goals: 1)
schedule Commission meetings on a three (3) week cycle; 2) schedule Commission
meetings on Wednesdays; and 3) not to schedule Commission meetings during the month
of August, while the City Commission is in recess.
The Administration met the goals with the following exceptions:
Exception: Between the last meeting in 2003, December 10, and the proposed first
meeting in 2004, January 14, there is a five (5) week break. This is to schedule around the
Christmas and New Years Holidays.
Exception: The Wednesday, April 14th meeting is scheduled four (4) weeks after the
previously scheduled meeting, because of Passover, Good Friday, and Easter.
Exception: The Wednesday, June 9th meeting is scheduled two (2) weeks after the
previously scheduled meeting because of Art Basel which is scheduled to begin
Wednesday, June 16.
Exception: The Wednesday, July 7th meeting is scheduled four (4) weeks after the
previously scheduled meeting because of Art Basel.
Exception: Only one meeting is scheduled for September although a second meeting will
be scheduled on or before September 30 for the second reading of the budget.
Exception: Wednesday, November 10th meeting is scheduled four (4) weeks after the
previously scheduled to work around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Exception: Wednesday, December 8th meeting is scheduled four (4) weeks after the
previously scheduled meeting, again to work around the Thanksgiving and Christmas
holidays.
Note: The Boat Show is scheduled for February 12-17 with move-in scheduled to start
on February 5th and move-out scheduled on 18-21.
It is recommended that the City Commission meetings be set as follows:
. Wednesday, January 14
. Wednesday, February 4
. Wednesday, February 25
. Wednesday, March 17
. Wednesday, April 14
. Wednesday, May 5

. Wednesday, July 28
. August, City Commission is in recess
. Wednesday, September 8
. Wednesday, October 13
. Wednesday, November 10

The proposed 2004 calendar calls for 14 regularly scheduled Commission meetings which
are the same number of scheduled meetings as 2003, not including the two (2) election
related Commission meetings in 2003.
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. Attachment
"B" is a list of Jewish holidays.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the
proposed City Commission meeting dates for the year 2004.
