SUBJECT: AMENDMENT OF ORDINANCES TO ACHIEVE CONFORMITY BY
PROVIDING FOR SPECIAL MASTERS APPOINTED BY THE CHIEF
SPECIAL MASTER
Section 9B-4 of the Miami Beach City Code provides for
hearings regarding violations of City Codes and Ordinances to be
conducted by Special Masters appointed by a Chief Special Master.
The Chief Special Master is appointed by the City Commission upon
recommendation of the City Manager and City Attorney. It was the
intent that all hearings regarding violations of City Code and
Ordinances should fqllow this procedure.
The City also had several ordinances which once provided for
administrative hearings to be held by the City Manager or his/her
designee. (Those included appeals from noise, sidewalk cafe and
garbage violations and certificate of use/occupational license
denials/suspensions/revocations.) The ordinances were later
amended to provide for hearings by a special master appointed by
the City Commission upon recommendation of the City Manager. The
amendments to these Ordinances were not in conformity with Section
9B-4 of the Miami Beach City Code.
By way of housekeeping, the attached amendments to those
ordinances will now provide for those administrative hearings to be
conducted by the Special Masters appointed by the City's Chief
Special Master pursuant to City Code Section 9B-4.
