ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDA TION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Between the last meeting in July 2000, and the first meeting in September 2000, the City Commission
will not be in session. During this period of time there may be contracts in excess of the $10,000
limitation which may need to be awarded or terminated. The City Commission has historically, during
such periods, assigned certain powers to the City Manager subject to ratification by the City
Commission.
Additionally, administrative appeals to the City Commission, as provided in Subpart B, Land
Development Regulations of the Code of the City of Miami Beach, would be unable to be held
between the last meeting in July 2000, and the first meeting in September 2000. Therefore, any
required acts relative thereto should be tolled during said period.
It is therefore requested that the City Manager, or his Designee, be authorized to receive and process
any petitions for initiatives and referendums; sign all contracts, agreements, purchase orders, change

orders, and grant applications that may affect the health, safety, or welfare of the City; renew any
existing contracts, for an appropriate period of time; terminate existing contracts, as needed and toll
all acts relative to administrative appeals provided for in Subpart B, Land Development Regulations
of the Code of the City of Miami Beach, from the last Commission meeting in July 2000, until the first
Commission meeting in September 2000, subject to ratification by the City Commission at its first
meeting in September 2000.
Since this authorization is necessary to ensure that essential services and projects continue during the
period between the last Commission meeting in July 2000, until the first Commission meeting in
September 2000, it is recommended that the City Commission adopt this Resolution.
