Re: Charter Review and Reform Committee
Dear Commissioner Gort:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that i must resign from my position in the Charter
Review and Reform Committee.
Over the last few days, Bilzin Sumberg Dunn Price & Axelrod has undertaken the
representation of a matter dealing with Watson Island. As you know, all issues of land involving
Watson Island are particularly covered by Section 29(c) of the City of Miami Charter. My position
on the Charter Review and Reform Committee and most certainly as the Chair of the Disposition
of City Properties Committee, which deal with Section 29 of the Charter could appear as a conflict
of interest.
It is my position that the review of the City of Miami Charter and the proposal of changes
to the City Commission is a process which should be above reproach and I certainly would not want
to be responsible for creating even an appearance of conflict and therefore it is with regrets that
I remove myself from any involvement in this process.
I certainly thank you and Commissioner Sanchez for having appointed me to this process,
It is an exercise long awaited and badly needed in order to move the City towards the new
Millennium. I wish you and all the Board Members the best as you continue to endeavor in this
process.
