ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Miami Beach City Charter, "The City Commission shall
meet at such times as may be prescribed by ordinance or resolution."
At the January 12, 2005 Committee of the Whole Meeting, Mayor Dermer solicited input
regarding the scheduling of one City Commission meeting a month. Subsequent to Mayor
Dermer's request, the Administration placed this issue on the February 23, 2005
Commission Meeting agenda to refer it to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee
for discussion.
In preparing the Commission Meeting calendar the Administration takes into consideration
events such as the Conference of Mayors, the Boat Show, Miami-Dade Days, Art Basel,
August recess, July and 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 Commission Meeting calendar the Administration established four (4)
goals:
Goal 1 : Schedule one regular Commission Meeting and one alternate meeting day (time
to be determined) a month with the exception of July, and November of an
election year;
Goal 3:
Goal 4:
Provide the City Commission flexibility in controlling the length of meeting, and
the use of alternate meeting as a workshop, retreat, special meeting that may be
desired, or be cancelled;
Continue to schedule meetings around major events and holidays;
Consider the Land Use Boards meeting schedule.
Goal 2:
The Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee met on March 29, 2005 and made a
motion to accept the newly revised Commission Meeting schedule.
For your review, attached is a list showing the Commission meeting dates and the pre-
scheduled alternate meeting dates. There is a change in the Commission Meeting in May
from May 25 to May 18, The May 4 Commission date is cancelled, and the May 25 date,
will now be an alternate Commission Meeting. Additionally, there will be an alternate
Commission Meeting scheduled for September 14, October 26 and December 14.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the action taken by the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee, the
Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve changing the
Commission Meeting dates, which will offer the City Commission additional options.
