Condensed Title:
A resolution setting the dates for the year 2014 Redevelopment Agency (RDA) meetings.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Supports multiple KIO's.
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): N/A
Item Summary/Recommendation:
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. Pursuant to the Miami
Beach Redevelopment Agency By-Laws, the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) shall meet at such times as
prescribed by resolution.
At the December 11, 2013 Commission meeting, the City Commission adopted the January 2014 RDA
meeting dates, and requested for the Administration to schedule a Committee of the Whole Meeting for the
January 15, 2014 Commission meeting to discuss the scheduling of the remainder of the RDA Meeting
dates for 2014.
The Administration recommends that when preparing the RDA 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 & Religious Holidays.
(Note: The Miami Beach Annual Boat Show is scheduled for February 13-17, with move-in scheduled to
start on February 7-12 and move-out scheduled on February 18-22, which creates significant parking and
traffic challenges for the City Hall area.)
The Administration suggests that when scheduling the 2014 RDA dales, the City Commission accomplish
three goals: 1) schedule one RDA meeting and one alternate meeting a month, if possible; 2) schedule
RDA meetings on Wednesdays; and 3) not schedule RDA meetings during the month of August, while the
RDA is in recess.
The Administration recommends a_Qproving the resolution.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CHAIRPERS N AND MEMBERS OF THE MIAMI BEACH
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (RDA), SETTING THE DATES FOR THE YEAR 2014
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MEETINGS.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
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. Pursuant to
the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency By-Laws, the Redevelopment Agency (RDA) shall
meet at such times as prescribed by resolution.
At the December 11, 2013 Commission meeting, the City Commission adopted the January 2014
RDA meeting dates, and requested for the Administration to schedule a Committee of the Whole
Meeting for the January 15, 2014 Commission meeting to discuss the scheduling of the
remainder of the RDA Meeting dates for 2014.
The Administration recommends that when preparing the RDA 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 & Religious Holidays. (Note: The Miami Beach Annual Boat Show
is scheduled for February 13-17, with move-in scheduled to start on February 7-12 and move-out
scheduled on February 18-22, which creates significant parking and traffic challenges for the City
Hall area.)
The Administration suggests that when scheduling the 2014 RDA dates, the City Commission
accomplish three goals: 1) schedule one RDA meeting and one alternate meeting a month, if
possible; 2) schedule RDA meetings on Wednesdays; and 3) not schedule RDA meetings during
the month of August, while the RDA is in recess.

In order to make the City Commission/RDA Meetings more efficient and prevent residents from
spending multiple hours waiting for a time certain item to be heard, Mayor Philip Levine has
proposed that all Presentations and Awards be heard at a separate meeting. By placing the
Presentations and Awards on the Alternate meeting date, the regular City Commission/RDA
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 allow the City Commission 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 as a continuance for items not reached during the previous Commission
Meeting.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Chairperson and Members of the Miami Beach
Redevelopment Agency approve the proposed RDA meeting dates and Alternate Meeting dates
for the remainder of 2014.
