Aproposal finished lastweekwould trans- fer day-to-day operations at Miami Interna- tional, along withMiami-Dade County's four other airports, from the hands ofthe county commissioners to an aviation authority of seven appointed members. The commissioners will get their first chance' to react to the proposal for Miami International, Opa-locka, Opa-locka West, Kendall-Tamiami Executive and Homestead airports during their Tuesday meeting. The plan then will either go to the transpor- tation comm ittee or bypassthat group and go straight to a public hearing in six weeks, Commission Chair Barbara Carey -Shuler said. Majorpoints ofdebate asthe study group wrapped up the proposal included the rela- tionship between the airport authority and registered lobbyists, whetherelected officials should serve on the authority and how pro- curements would be handled. In the end, the group voted that a member could not be aregisteredthird-party lobbyist three years prior to and after serving a term on the authority, and members couldn'thave a director indirect business relationship with the airport durin 2 their term. The group was created by a commission- approvedproposal in April and introduced by Ms. Carey -Shuler. The 15-membergroup's mission was to submit a proposal to the commission foran authoritytorun day-to-day operations o f al l the county airports, with the commission playing anoversight role. Although the groupvoted atone ofits first meetingsto ban sitting elected officials from serving on the authority, last week the group reversed the decision. "Electedofficials liveto fightanotherday," the group's chairman,NeisenKasdin, said. Some members said elected officials have no place on the authority because it creates a conflict of interest for elected officials withan airport in their municipalityor elected officials whose campaign financing is tied to busi- nesses that work with the airport. "Elected officials havecampaignsthatneed to be financed," member Mario Artecena said at the Sept. 12 meeting. "It opens a can ofwormswe could easily avoid." But other members said non -elected offi- cials are just as susceptible to corruption and conflicts of interest as elected officials. Other members saidtheproposalwouldnotpassthe county commission ifelected officials were banned. "Ifyou appointbad people it doesn'tmatter if you have rules because they will break them," Mr. Kasdin said. "There is more opportunity for secrecy with non -elected of- ficials than elected officials because every - CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING A public hearing will be held by the City Commission of the City of Miami, Florida on September 25, 2003, at 9.00 a.m., in the City Commission Chambers at City Hall, 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, Florida, for the purpose of hearing objections from any interested parties affected by the proposed Amendment to Section 54- 190 of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended, entitled "Nonstandard Street Widths" by reducing the zoned right of way of Northwest 3rd Street between Northwest 17th Avenue and Northwest 22 th Avenue from 70 feet to 50 feet.

During its last meeting the group al so voted thattheauthoritywoulddevelopprocurement policies related to construction, airport con- cession and goods and services. An aviation authority would be required to retain existing airportemployee contracts, the group voted last week. It would also have to recognize existing laborunions. Main elements of the final resolution to create an authority include: ■Seven voting members; four appointed by commissioners, one appointed by commis- sion chair, one appointed by Miami -Dade County mayor, one appointed by Governor. The authority would elect its own chair and vice chair once a year. ■Members could not serve more than two consecutive four-year terms and will not be paid.

NA two-thirds vote by the county commis- sion would be required to remove a member from the authority orto amend or repeal the ordinance creating the authority. ■Most ofthe powers the commission has over the airports would also be transferred, like the power to develop the airports; issue legal,,construction and tenant contracts; ap- point an aviation director; negotiate with labor groups; set user fees; receive grants; control the airports budgets and finances, and borrow money. ■The authority will continue to contract police and fire services with the county, and the county will still control buying and selling airport related property. OThe authoritywill make annual account- ing and progress reports to the commission. Members ofthe taskforce said despite the checks and balances they have put into the ordinance to try and weed out corruption and make it independent, the quality ofthe nomi- nating committee will make or break the success ofthe authority. "We better have a very good nominating committee, that's what it comes down to," Mr. Kasdin said. The nominating committee would becom- prised of one representative from: Greater Miami ChamberofCommerce, CAMACOL, Beacon Council, Miami Business Forum, Miami -Dade ChamberofCommerce, Miami chapter of the League of Women Voters, Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bu- reau, Greater Miami Aviation Association, World Trade Center Miami, Miami chapter ofthe Black Business Association and Mi- ami -Dade League ofCities. The committee would submit a list of21 names to the nominators, who would chose seven. The commissioners, with four ap- pointments, would be the first to choose their appointments, followed by the commission, mayor and governor with one appointment each. Coast Guard may curtail opening Brickell bridge during lunch hour - CATHERINE LACKNER bunch-hourtraffic jams caused by Miami's Brickell venue Bridge openings may disappear by year's end. The Coast Guard has published in the Federal egister a"notice ofproposed rule making," which nounces it will consider a one-hour curfew on ostMiami River marine traffic from noon to 1 p.m. om the mouth of the river to the Northwest 27th venue bridge. The Coast Guard also wi11 consider continuing the urrent weekday 7-9:30 a.m. and 4:30-6 p.m. cur- ews. In addition, the bridge would only open on the ;hour and on the half-hour from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tugboats and ships under tow, which can only travel at high tide; Coast Guard, military and other official marine traffic; and ships in emergency situations would be exempt from the curfews, said Michael Lieberum, bridge management specialist with the Coast Guard's Bridges Branch in Miami. The Coast Guard will solicit comments from the public until Oct. 10, "and no decision will be made until all the comments have been considered," Mr. L.ieberum said. The process usually takes about 30 days, he said. "We're in support ofthis," said Rick Gonsalves, president ofthe Brickell Area Association, one of the groups that have pressed for limiting the bridge openings, coordinated traffic signalization and other measures to unsnarl Brickell and downtown traffic. "We've encouraged our members to get in touch with the Coast Guard and we support these rule changes as an organization. We don't think it will eliminate the traffic problems but hopefully the curfews will help somewhat."

Toledo impulsa acuerdos bila- terales convencido retraso del ALCA (EFE): EI presidente de Peru, Alejan- dro Toledo, se mostr6 hoy convencido de que el Area de Libre Comercio de las Am6ricas no estarA en marcha en _el 2005, como pretende Estados Unidos, por to que su Gobiemo im- pulsarA acuerdos bilaterales.

AOL Time Warner se denominara "dentro de pocas semanas" Time Warner Inc., segun decidi6 el pasado jueves el Consejo de administraci6n de la empresa. Incluso en la Bolsa de Nueva York, el shnbolo "TWX" remplazara a "AOL". El nuevo nombre "refleja mejor to que son nues- tras actividades mas valiosas y pone fm a cual- quier confusi6n entre nuestro nombre corpora- tivo y la marca America Online para nuestros inversores, socios y el publico", declar6 el pre- sidente de la empresa Dick Parsons. ZReflejo de tin mundo corporativo despia- dado? En 2000, en pleno boom de internet, la riqueza del gigante estadounidense del sec- tor America Online (AOL) le permiti6 com- prar Time Warner, un conglomerado dueno de la revista Time, del pionero de la infor- maci6n televisada 24 horas CNN, de los es- tudios de cine Warner Bros. y de Warner Mu- sic, uno de los cinco "grandes" de la edici6n musical. La fusi6n, estimada en unos 160.000 millones de d6lares en enero de 2000, cuando fue anun- ciada, se cerr6 fin,71mente un ano mas tarde. Pero luego sobrevino el estallido de la bur- buja internet y AOL vio huir en dos anos a una gran parte de sus anunciantes publicita- rios. La vertiginosa depreciaci6n del valor de la divisi6n internet llev6 a AOL Time Warner a una perdida neta hist6rica de casi 100.000 millones de d6lares en 2002. Los "veterans" de Time Warner, irritados por la actitud arrogante y dominadora de los dirigentes de AOL, ban aprovechado este mal paso para apartarlos uno a uno y retomar el control de la Compania. Al reducir sus costos, fundamentalmente en AOL, al ceder actividades secundarias para reducir su deuda, el gigante de los medios remonta progresivamente la pendiente desde comienzos de 2003. En el segundo trimestre, AOL, victima de una conversi6n muy tardia a internet de banda ancha, perdi6 no obstante mas de 900.000 abo- nados en total en Estados Unidos y Europa y sigue previendo una caida de 35% a 45% de sus ingresos publicitarios en 2003. Como consecuencia, muchos dirigentes em- pezaron a pedir que se borrara la menci6n AOL del nombre del grupo. Para algunos, es un verdadero problema que por la practicidad de utilizar el nombre corto, AOL Time Warner sea a menudo nombrado simplemente AOL, la Cara menos atractiva del grupo. Domino's Pizza abre en la India Argentina la lista i FMI, 1 deja de estar en morosos del ras acuerdo Por ANA MARIA ECHEVERRIA DUBAI, (AFP) - El FMI aprob6 el sabado en Dubai el acuerdo alcanzado con Argentina, por un monto de 12.500 millones de d6lares, que harA que ese pais deje de estar en la lista de morosos del Fondo, al permitirle refinanciar deuda por unos 21.000 millones de d6lares con los institutos multilaterales. La numero dos del Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI), Anne Krueger, afirm6 en Dubai que el acuerdo aprobado por la junta di- rective del organismo respalda "el programa econ6mico del gobierno argentino que busca, en el mediano plazo, restaurar un crecimiento sostenido" y "reducir la pobreza". Ese acuerdo, aprobado en una reuni6n a la que asistieron los 24 directores del FMI, fue alcanzado el 10 de septiembre, al termino de intensas negociaciones-y al dia siguiente de que Buenos Aires incumpliera un vencimiento impostergable con el organismo multi- lateral, por 2.900 millones de d6lares. Segun fuentes del FMI, los directivos "examinaron la Carta de In- tenci6n presentada por Argentina" que describe en detalle el acuerdo, que tiene un plazo de tres anos y preve un ahorro fiscal equivalente al 3% del Producto Bruto Interno para 2004. Aunque el acuerdo es formalmente por tres anos, los porcentajes para 2005 y 2006 quedan sujetos a discusiones futuras, confirm6 el FMI. Ese entendimiento ha recibido ya el claro apoyo de Estados Unidos, y fue el tema de la conversaci6n entre el ministro de Economia ar- gentino, Roberto Lavagna, y el secretario del Tesoro estadounidense, John Snow, este sabado en Dubai, donde se celebra la reuni6n anual del FMI y del Banco Mundial (BM).
