requests must be received in the Executive Director's office no later than noon on Tuesday of the

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A resolution setting the dates for the year 2012 Redevelopment Agency (RDA) meetings.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Supports multiple KIO's.
Supporting Data {Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): N/A
Issue:
Shall the Chairperson and Members of the Redevelopment Agency approve the 2012 RDA meeting
dates?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
Pursuant to the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency By-Laws, the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) shall
meet at such times as prescribed by resolution.
In preparing the RDA Meeting calendar the Administration takes into consideration events such as the U.S.
Conference of Mayors, Miami-Dade County Days, Art Basel, August recess, September to set the
tentative/final millage and the budget approval process, and if an election year then November for
election/runoff election meetings, and finally Federal and Religious Holidays. Considering the above it is
difficult to always schedule meetings on the same Wednesday of the month.
In preparing the recommended meeting dates, the Administration set three (3) goals: 1) schedule one (1)
RDA meeting and one (1) alternate meeting a month; 2) schedule RDA meetings on Wednesdays; and 3)
not to schedule RDA meetings during the month of August, while the RDA is in recess.
The Administration recommends approving the resolution.

REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEMORANDUM
TO: Chairperson Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the Redevelopment Agency
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, Executive Directo
DATE: December 14, 2011
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CHAIRPERSON AND MEMBERS OF THE MIAMI
BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (RDA), SETTING THE DATES FOR
THE YEAR 2012 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETINGS.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Mayor and City Commission also sit as the Redevelopment Agency Board and
schedule the Redevelopment Agency meetings to coincide with the City Commission
Meetings.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency By-Laws, the Redevelopment
Agency (RDA) shall meet at such times as prescribed by resolution.
In preparing the RDA Meeting calendar the Administration takes into consideration
events such as the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Miami-Dade County Days, Art Basel,
August recess, September to set the tentative/final millage and the budget approval
process, and if an election year then November for election/runoff election meetings, and
finally Federal and Religious Holidays. Considering the above it is difficult to always
schedule meetings on the same Wednesday of the month.
In preparing the recommended meeting dates, the Administration set three (3) goals: 1)
schedule one (1) RDA meeting and one (1) alternate meeting a month; 2) schedule RDA
meetings on Wednesdays; and 3) not to schedule RDA meetings during the month of
August, while the RDA is in recess.
In preparing the recommended meeting dates, the Administration set three (3) goals: 1)
schedule one (1) Commission meeting and one (1) alternate meeting a month; 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.
556
The Administration met the goals with the following exceptions:
Exception 1: In June, due to Art Basel beginning on June 13, there is no alternate
meeting scheduled.
Exception 2: In September, due to Budget Hearings that will be scheduled at a later
time, there is no alternate meeting scheduled.
Note: The Miami Beach Annual Boat Show is scheduled for February 16-20 with move-
in scheduled to start on February 9-15 and move-out scheduled on February 21-
24, which creates significant parking and traffic challenges for the City Hall area.
It is recommended that the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) meetings be set as follows:
RDA Meetings
January 11 (Wednesday)
February 8 (Wednesday)
March 21 (Wednesday)
April 11 (Wednesday)
May 9 (Wednesday)
June 6 (Wednesday)
July 18 (Wednesday)
August-RDA in recess
September 12 (Wednesday)
October 24 (Wednesday)
November 14 (Wednesday)

March 28 (Wednesday)
April 18 (Wednesday)
May 16 (Wednesday)
July 25 (Wednesday)
October 31 (Wednesday)
November 21 (Wednesday)
December 19 (Wednesday)
The proposed 2012 calendar calls for 11 regularly scheduled RDA meetings, 9 alternate
meetings, and an additional special budget RDA meeting will be scheduled at a later
time in September.
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 Chairman and Members of the Redevelopment
Agency approve the proposed RDA meeting dates and alternate meeting dates for the

RESOLUTION NO.-----
A RESOLUTION OF THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE MIAMI
BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (RDA), SETTING THE DATES FOR
THE YEAR 2012 RDA MEETINGS.
WHEREAS, at the January 12, 2005 Committee of the Whole Meeting, Mayor Dermer
(acting also as the Chairman of the RDA) solicited input regarding the scheduling of one RDA
meeting a month; and
WHEREAS, subsequent to Mayor Dermer's request, this issue was referred to the
Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee for discussion; and
WHEREAS, the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee met on March 29, 2005, and
was presented with the idea of having one RDA meeting a month and an alternate meeting
scheduled the following week; and
WHEREAS, this would allow the RDA to continue the meeting because of the lateness of the
hour or if a particular item(s) may cause the meeting to run very late, to continue the item(s) not
handled to the following Wednesday; and
WHEREAS, because the same RDA agenda will be used, no Member/Executive Director
Agenda reviews will be required; and
WHEREAS, it also allows the Chairman and the Members of the RDA, and the
Administration, to reserve the Wednesday following a RDA meeting so that scheduling of a
continued meeting, if necessary, does not result in scheduling problems; and
WHEREAS, this new schedule of one RDA meeting a month and an alternate meeting was
implemented in May 2005; and
WHEREAS, in preparing the recommended meeting dates, the Administration set three (3)
goals: 1) schedule one (1) RDA meeting and one (1) alternate meeting a month; 2) schedule RDA
meetings on Wednesdays; and 3) not to schedule RDA meetings during the month of August, while
the RDA is in recess; and
WHEREAS, the proposed 2012 calendar calls for eleven (11) regularly scheduled RDA
meetings, nine (9) alternate meetings, and an additional special budget RDA meeting will be
scheduled at a later time in September.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE CHAIRMAN AND THE MEMBERS
OF THE MIAMI BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, that the Chairman and Members of the
RDA hereby approve the following dates for the year 2012 RDA Meetings:
