MATTY HIRAI CITY CLERK MIAMI, FLORIDA 3/16 -j�, u i ;; .0,4A311321 TO DATE D E C 2 0 The Honorable Mayor and Memb rs of the City Commission SUs1EC' Ordinance amending section 14-27(b) of the City Code by removing the requirement FROM Cesar Odio RrFERE:fcmr $10,000 bonds for DDA City Manager Board members. ENCLOSURES Recommendation It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Ordinance amending section 14-27(b) of the City Code by removing the requirement that DDA Board members be covered by $10,000 indemnity bonds. ' Background When the DDA was created in 1963 pursuant to state enabling legislation, the Board consisted of five (5) members. The DDA Board now consists of twenty—nine (29) members. Section 14-27(b) of the City Code requires that each Board member post a $10,000 indemnity bond on behalf of the City, of Miami. Neither the Off —Street Parking Authority nor the Sports and Exhibition Authority have a similar requirement. DDA Board members do not handle cash, nor can any individual Board member authorize cash disbursements. The cost of $10,000 indemnity bonds has increased over the last several years from $35 to $90-100. It hasbecome a considerable administrative and cost burden to the DDA; one that is not warranted in light of the limited fiduciary responsibilities of DDA Board members. CO/cs OIL071.4
