Re: Resioation from the International Trade Board
Dear Commissioner Dawkins:
Many thanks to you for your initial and unwavering continued support, over these past
three years, as your appointee to the City of Miami International Trade Board. I have
tried to bring to the ITB that which I believe has served the City well and .reflected upon
it in the most favorable international light. In doing so, I hope that my service has
reflected upon you favorably. With that said, I regret that I must tender my resignation
from the ITB inorder to begin a new life and job overseas. My resignation shall be
effective as of January 21, 1995.
My new position is as Associate Peace Corps Director/Administration in Niger, West
Africa.. I shall continue to hold a thought for Miami and its expanding international
aspirations. Therefore, please feel free to call on me if I can possibly be of assistance in
the Region.
I Jeok forward to touching base with you in the future.
thf-offic�,afWashington & Christian.

impacting the Overtown area. [NOTE: LAW DEPARTMENT
ADVISES THAT AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED ON THIS

GUIDELINES INCORPORATED BY RESOLUTION 94-219 - BUT ISSUE
REMAINS UNRESOLVED.]

Off -Street Parking Authority. [NOTE: NO DECISION HAS BEEN
TAKEN AS YET ON THIS RECOMMENDATION - REMAINS UNRESOLVED.]
3. MIAMI SPORTS AND EXHIBITION AUTHORITY- The Review
Committee recommended that a policy decision should be
taken placing greater emphasis on the Authority's total
purpose, i.e. the Authority should place greater

RECOMMENDATION - ISSUE REMAINS UNRESOLVED.]

recommended that the ITB Special Committee Internal Audit
Report be approved. [NOTE: Said report was accepted and

B.
duties of both boards. The City Attorney's office will
need to conduct a careful review of the Ordinance creating
each board and meet with appropriate Administration
personnel in order to properly accomplish the proposed
merger. [NOTE: ISSUE REMAINS UNRESOLVED.]
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. EFFECTIVE DATE
MEMBERSHIP. T1
of all current
1st. However,
e committee also recommended the sunsetting
board and committee members as of the April

the effective date of Ordinance 11130 . [ISSUE RESOLVED.]
2. COMPENSATION OF BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS. The Review

Committees number (1) and (2), above, were accepted and the
Committees were created.
However, the recommendation for the creation of Committee number
(3) above, namely, the "Select Committee on Unified Development
Projects," still remains unresolved. Said Committee would be
charged with reviewing proposals submitted to the City in
response to Requests for Proposals which would be issued by the
City concerning Unified Development Projects. Therefore, it
would involve a referendum, since UDP's require a Charter
amendment. The City Attorney's office will need additional time
in order to carefully draft appropriate language which will
withstand any possible challenges.
(a) PURPOSE- Its purpose will be to review proposals submitted
to the City in response to Requests for Proposals (RFPs)
issued by the City for a Unified Development Project, and
to make recommendations to the City Commission.

of Asset Management as the liaison to this committee.
[NOTE: ISSUE UNRESOLVED]
Attached hereto please find individual interoffice memoranda
addressing certain designated City Boards and/or Committees
concerning their present composition and membership, in
