INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND Visions 2000 Committees are authorized under Chapter 86-221 of Florida Statutes, the "Visions 2000 Act of 1986." The legislature intended that these locally established committees would function in a manner similar to the State Comprehensive Plan Committee. The committee would "provide a forum to facilitate discussion of and provide a community consensus for the proper sense of direction for the future of the county or municipality." These committees, whose members are appointed by a majority vote of the members of the Legislature which represent the municipality, are expected to formulate goals and develop comprehensive policies that would provide general guidance to local governments over a 20-yea r planning horizon. Goals and policies developed by the Vi- sions 2000 Committee, moreover, "shall not be inconsistent with the goals, objectives and policies in the state, regional and local compre- hensive plans." The Miami Visions 2000 Committee was established by City Commission resolution. The primary focus of this committee is to assess the social, economic and physical condition of the City of Miami and to reach a consensus on general policy goals and objectives to guide government decision making over the next 20 years. At the first meeting of the Visions 2000 Committee, it was the consensus of the Committee that certain issues of critical concern to the City would be addressed including the following: education, employment and the economy, housing, health care and the elderly, public safety, parks, recreation and public facilities and transportation. Within the con- text of these seven issues, the concerns for neighborhood conditions and business development should be addressed, specifically as critical dimensions of the housing and employment and the economy issues. Each committee member has selected at least one area of expertise (i.e., education; economic development, housing, etc.) and will be responsible for the development of short- and long-term goals and policies related to that specific area of concentration. At this meeting, the Planning Department was asked to prepare the request for proposal for consultant services. A consultant, familiar with the City and its government would assist the committee by working with the Planning Department to develop background information on the issues; arrange meetings, as well as presentations by appropriate experts; record the proceedings of the meetings; and prepare the final report. A proposed schedule concluding with the preparation of a final policy statement by March of 1989 was adopted by the committee at this meeting (see Tentative Schedule for Consultant Selection and Responsi- bilities below. III. SCOPE OF SERVICES Coordination between the preparation of the City's comprehensive plan and the work of the Visions 2000 Committee is a necessary element for the success of that committee's efforts. The Planning Department staff feels that the more distant the relationship between the department and the Visions 2000 Committee the less likely it is for the Committee's work to be relevant for the Comprehensive Plan now being produced by the Page 2 88--54!1 JUN- 7-,38 TUE 15:,2 7 i t.y o+ rri i 11m 1 c•1-11_ P. 05 Department. Much of the work the Planning staff is doing for the comprehensive plan is of direct relevance to the issues which this committee will be addressing. For this reason, the Planning Department will be an important source of technical support for this committee, and will actively monitor and participate in its meetings. The consultant retained will formulate a work plan to accomplish the committee's objectives. The work plan formulated will include but not necessarily be limited to: a) organization (in consultation with the Planning Department staff) of a series of one -day sessions for each policy area listed above or any others that are determined by formal action of the commit- tee to be of importance; preparation of the final agenda for each session, and notification of committee members of meeting time, place and agenda; b) preparation of a background paper for each session that provides all data and analysis, relevant specifically to the City of Miami, for each policy area; c) arrangement for an oral presentation, in addition to the back- ground paper, to be given at each session by expert(s) in the field; d) arrangement for representatives of pertinent City or County departments (i.e., Police, Parks, Recreation and Public Facili- ties; Dade County School Board, etc.) to address the committee at each session in order to provide its members with an informed analysis of the problems, as they apply specifically to the City of Miami; and to indicate measures which might be taken to allevi- ate those problems; e) facilitation of discussion, stimulation of open communication and provision of a sense of direction in bringing the group toward consensus on the various policy issues; f) assembly of draft and final policy statements summarizing the consensus of the committee, rather than individual viewpoints.
