ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution appointing
an individual for a three year term on the Miami River Coordinating Committee.
BACKGROUND
This position is currently filled by Ms. Janet Gavarrete, who was appointed by the City
Commission for a two year term, commencing January 5, 1993. Since then, Ms. Gavarrete has
served with distinction as chairperson of the committee.
The Miami River Coordinating Committee has been determined to be an independent committee,
not subject to Chapter 2, Article KM of the City Code. The Miami City Commission appoints
three of the eight citizen members of the Miami River Coordinating Committee. The remaining
members are appointed by the Board of County Commissioners and the Governor.
The following criteria for appointments were established in Resolution 86-701, entitled
"Resolution of Understanding between the City of Miami and Dade County relating to the Miami
River and its tributaries."
"Three persons, appointed by the Miami City Commission,
who have demonstrated an interest in the protection and
enhancement of the Miami River and who are not elected
officials or employees of the City of Miami and who
represent an appropriate cross section of businesses,
conservationists, property owners, and other citizens
interested in the welfare of the Miami River."
