Pursuant to Section 2-55(d) of Ordinance No. 97-3075, as amended, establishing the Miami
Beach Cultural Arts Council (CAC) "vacancies on the Council shall be filled by the Mayor
and City Commission. In filling any vacancy, the Mayor and City Commission may select a
replacement Council member from a list of three (3) candidates which shall be submitted by
the remaining members of the Council." Further, "the individual members of the City
Commission may supplement the Council's suggested list with additional names of
candidates or, if neither the candidates on the Council's suggested list nor the additional
names submitted by the individual members of the City Commission are approved, the
Council shall submit an entirely different list" for consideration.
The CAC is eager to have these appointments made and respectfully requests that you
consider these appointments at your January 17, 2007 City Commission Meeting. Should
you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
