First and foremost, the Citizens of Miami already have stated their views on to this issue. In 1994, voters rejected a similar charter amendment relating to Unified Development Projects by 66.19%. Secondly, the language contained in the proposed resolution is too technical and not self- explanatory. 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 public discussion and consideration is to separate these ballot initiatives over several general elections. L J-99-699 8/2/99 "" 611 RESOLUTION NO.
