FROM REFERENCES
Committee (MRCC)
Edward Marquez ENCLOSURES: Resolution, Section 18-298
City Manager of the City Code
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
authorizing a two year agreement with the Miami River Coordinating Committee (MRCC) for
the period October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1998 in an amount not to exceed
$25,000 annually.
BACKGROUND
A Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Miami, Dade County and the State of
Florida relating to the Miami River and its tributaries east of the salinity structure at N.W.
361h Avenue was passed by the City Commission and adopted on October 24, 1986. The
Memorandum of Understanding clarified and delineated the responsibilities of the City and
County in governing and maintaining the Miami River.
City of Miami Ordinance No. 10616 passed and adopted July 13, 1989, amended the city
code by adding Section 18-298 to provide funding support for the Miami River Coordinating
Committee as an approved expenditure. The amount of $25,000 annually has been paid to
the Miami River Coordinating Committee since 1989 by the City of Miami.
Annually, since 1989 the MRCC has coordinated meetings or task forces, operated an
education and awareness program, developed public service announcements and continues
to seek and implement solutions to all problems and issues related to the Miami River.
MRCC's experience in the development of educational and awareness programs can be of
great value to the City since these programs can be used by the City to satisfy the
educational elements of its own NPDES permit requirements. Furthermore, MRCC provides a
channel for information sharing between various government agencies that is useful to the
City for implementing solutions and satisfying various NPDES requirements. For this reason,
it is in the City's best interest to continue to fund MRCC activities.
