Pursuant to the authority vested in me under the provisions of Section 4(g)(5) of the
Charter of Miami, Florida, I hereby veto:
RESOLUTION 99-610
Veto Message:
I have chosen to veto the legislation pertaining to the disposition of City -owned property
because the technical language contained in the amendment should be reviewed by way
of a thorough public process in order to ensure voter approval. The City of Miami should
explain this issue more fully and fairly before placing it on a public ballot. Also, I
believe a more appropriate way to assure further public discussion and consideration is to
separate these ballot initiatives and stagger them over several general elections.
