I 1 0 5 9 t AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 62-78 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA, AS AMENDED, ENTITLED "MEMBERSHIP" (IN THE LATIN QUARTER REVIEW BOARD), AS TO THE FOLLOWING SUBSECTIONS THEREIN: AMENDING SUBSECTION (A) TO MAKE THE ALTERNATE MEMBER A REGULAR MEMBER OF THE BOARD AND INCREASING THE NUMBER OF MEMBERS TO TEN (10); AMENDING SUBSECTION (B) TO ENCOURAGE, ALTHOUGH NOT REQUIRE NOR MANDATE, THAT CERTAIN PRESCRIBED BOARD MEMBERS BE ARCHITECTS OR ENGINEERS; FURTHER AMENDING SUBSECTION (B) TO ABOLISH THE CRITERIA OF PARTICIPATION IN THE CIVIC AFFAIRS OF THE LITTLE HAVANA COMMUNITY AS A QUALIFICATION TO BE A BOARD MEMBER AND FURTHER AMENDING SUCH SUBSECTION TO ABOLISH THE CATEGORY OF AN ALTERNATE MEMBER AND TO PROVIDE FOR TEN (10) REGULAR MEMBERS ON THE LATIN QUARTER REVIEW BOARD; AMENDING SUBSECTION (C) THEREIN TO DELETE THE REQUIREMENT THAT A NOTICE OF VACANCY ON THE BOARD BE PUBLISHED IN A NEWSPAPER OF GENERAL CIRCULATION IN THE CITY OR IN THE LATIN COMMUNITY; CONTAINING A REPEALER PROVISION AND A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE. WHEREAS, the category of an alternate member to the Latin Quarter Review Board ("LQRB") has been shown to be confusing and unnecessary insofar as that alternate serves in the same capacity and manner as the regular members, and the regular membership will be increased from nine (9) to ten (10) regular members appointed by the City Commission who work or live in the City; and WHEREAS, the present requirements of membership qualification on the LQRB state that three (3) members must be registered architects in this state and two (2) other members must be professional engineers, registered landscape architects or registered architects, and these mandatory membership qualifications, while retained as laudable and commendable membership goals, are abolished as membership qualifications because they are unduly restrictive requirements inhibiting the ability of many otherwise qualified and civic -minded persons from serving on the LQRB; and CITY COMMISSION MEETING OF JUN 7 1989 IUTION No. 105971 WHEREAS, the current procedure for appointment to a vacancy on the LQRB requires that thirty (30) days advance notice of such vacancy be noticed in a newspaper of general circulation in the City and in a newspaper specifically within the Latin community, and this procedure has demonstrated itself to be cumbersome, convoluted, and not subject to expeditious administrative implementation resulting in unfilled vacancies on the LQRB; and WHEREAS, in order to have a functioning LQRB, these amendments are necessary on an emergency basis in the interests of the public health, safety, and general welfare of the City; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA: Section 1.
