SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH,
FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 2 OF THE CITY CODE,
ENTITLED "ADMINISTRATION," BY AMENDING
ARTICLE Ill, ENTITLED "AGENCIES, BOARDS AND
COMMITTEES" TO STREAMLINE THE CITY'S BOARDS
BY EXPANDING THE POWERS, DUTIES AND/OR
MEMBERSHIP OF CERTAIN AGENCIES, BOARDS AND
COMMITTEES AND ABOLISHING THOSE THAT ARE
SUPERSEDED BY THE ENHANCED AGENCIES,
BOARDS, AND COMMITTEES; PROVIDING FOR
REPEALER, SEVERABILITY, CODIFICATION, AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
The attached Ordinance was passed on First Reading at the January 15,
2014 Commission meeting and was referred to the Neighborhoods/Community
Affairs Committee (NCAC) for its recommendations regarding whether there
should be a phased sunsetting of: a) the boards and committees to be abolished
and b) board member parking decals.
Subsequent to First Reading, I made minor revisions to expand the
purpose, powers, and duties of the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee
(AHAC) (See Secs. 2-167(b) and (c)(4)-5)). In addition, minor revisions were
proposed by the NCAC at its January 30, 2014 meeting to amend the
composition of the seven direct appointees to the AHAC (See Sec. 2-167(d)).
The NCAC also recommended that the changes proposed ln the Ordinance not
take effect until May 31, 2014.
I recommend that the attached revised Ordinance be passed and adopted
on Second Reading and that a motion be approved accepting the
recommendations of the NCAC which have been incorporated in the Ordinance.

Agenda Item Rs G-
Date 2.-1z.·ll(
For purposes of background, one of my first priorities as a City
Commissioner was to conduct a global review of the City's boards and
committees. Throughout the course of my research, I noted that not only have
the number of City boards and committees increased significantly during the past
few years alone, but that many of these boards and committees are either not
meeting regularly, or duplicating their efforts by addressing the same (or very
similar) issues. Additionally, since all of these committees require City staff
support, the amount of administrative staff time being spent covering these
boards is overwhelming. Rather than staff our many boards and committees, our
City employees' time should be prioritized and spent on more productive matters.
The Ordinance that was approved on First Reading resulted from my
review of all of the current standing City boards and committees created by
ordinance and codified in Chapter 2, Article Ill of the City Code. As I read
through the mission statements, powers and duties and membership
compositions of these many boards and committees, I identified areas where
we could either 1.) abolish certain board and committees that are no longer
active and/or have outlived their original purpose and/or are doing the same work
as another committee; or 2.) consolidate certain board and committees which
deal with similar (or related) subject matters and/or have oversight over similar
(or related) issues. (See Exhibit "A"). I have subsequently met with members of
the City Manager's office and the City Attorney's office and, together, we drafted
an Ordinance for the full Commission's consideration on First Reading.
This is a particularly opportune time to consider the proposed changes to
our City board and committee legislation; not only because we haven't conducted
an overall review for many years (at least ten years), but also in light of the fact
that the term of many direct appointees to our City boards and committees (i.e.,
those made by former Commissioners) expired as of December 31, 2013, and
our new Mayor and City Commissioners will have their first opportunity to make
their own appointments to fill these resulting vacancies.
