Dear Mr. Couch:
CESAR H. ODIO
City Manager
This will acknowledge receipt of your challenge to the candidacy
of Ruby Feria, presently a candidate in the forthcoming City of
Miami November 2, 1993 primary, who qualified in Group I for
Mayor.
Please be advised that the area of concern, as specified in your
communication, is being immediately forwarded to A. Quinn Jones,
III, City Attorney, for his review and evaluation, with the
request that this office be advised as to the fastest course of
action which should be followed in order to resolve this issue at
the earliest possible time.
City Code section 16-17(c) expressly authorizes the City
Commission to make a finding upon qualifications of a candidate
for the City Commission. Similar authority is reflected in the
following provision of Section 4(d) in the City Charter:
"The commission shall be the judge of the election and
qualification of its own members, subject to review by
the courts...."
By copy of this letter we are informing the Honorable Members of
the City Commission of your challenge and will be seeking
guidance from the commissioners at the meeting presently
scheduled for Monday, September 27, 1993.
V my yours,

Dear Ms. Hirai:
This is a formal request for your office to conduct an investigation regarding
a candidate for City of Miami Mayor in the November 2, 1993 election, namely
RUBY FERIA.
I have facts that lead me to believe that Ms. Feria does not meet the
residency requirements and therefore I request an investigation.
