Condensed Title:
A resolution setting the dates for the year 2015 Redevelopment Agency (RDA) meetings.
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.
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 12-16, with move-in scheduled to
start on February 6-11 and move-out scheduled on February 17-20, which creates significant parking and
traffic challenges for the City Hall area.)
ln order to make the City Commission/RDA Meetings more etficient and prevent residents from spending
multiple hours waiting for a time certain item to be heard, Mayor Philip Levine in 2013 proposed that all
presentations and awards be heard at a separate meeting. By placing all 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. lf needed, the Presentations and Awards Commission
Meeting may be utilized for items that are deemed emergencies and/or continued or not reached during
the previous RDA Meetinq. The Administration recommends aoorovinq 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.
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 12-16,
with move-in scheduled to start on February 6-11 and move-out scheduled on February
17-20, which creates significant parking and traffic challenges for the City Hall area.)
ln 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 in 2013 proposed that all presentations and awards be heard at a separate
meeting. By placing all 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. lf needed, the Presentations and Awards Commission Meeting may be
utilized for items that are deemed emergencies and/or continued or not reached during
the previous RDA Meeting.
ln preparing the recommended meeting dates, the Administration set three goals: 1)
schedule one RDA meeting and one Presentations and Awards RDA 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.
