Dear Mayor Suarez:
First of all, let me apologize for the confusion that
Commission meeting when I appeared for the purpose of
Commission in appointing new members to the Waterfront
CESAR H. ODIO
City Manager
occurred at the last
assisting the
Board.
It was not until Saturday night at the Grand Opening of the Amphitheater
and following a brief conversation with Commissioner Plummer, that I
realized that a nominees' package had not been submitted to the Commissioners.
This resulted from my operating under procedures that were in effect years
ago and the City's staff that supports the Waterfront Board operating under
current instructions from the Manager. I am pleased to report that we have
our act together and I look forward to reappearing before the Commission at
the May meeting.
Mr. Mayor, I will be requesting at the next Commission meeting for your
consideration to rescind the motion appointing Jim Wellington to the
Waterfront Board. In the interim prior to the May meeting, I will schedule
a meeting with you and the other Commissioners individually to review the
names of the nominees and their credentials and at the same time, I will have
the opportunity to discuss any additional nominees' considerations. I might
add that the next appointment belongs to Commissioner DeYurre as all other
commissioners have made past appointments.
I would not want the Manager's office, the City Commission, or the Waterfront
Board to be placed in the questionable position of giving preferential or
priority treatment to nominees when other candidates who are equally or more
qualified were not given the opportunity to have their credentials submitted
to the Commission for review. As you know it has been the long standing
custom and requirement regarding nominees for all City of Miami boards and
committees that each nominee would have an equal opportunity.
I will be requesting that the City Manager place the Waterfront Board back
on the agenda for the purpose of:
1. rescinding the motion nominating Jim Wellington,
2. selecting regular and alternate members to the Waterfront Board,
3. to establish a process of rotation giving the City Commission the
opportunity to install a nominee selection procedure.

We may possibly want to consider adding an additional board member under
Section 6, thereby giving each commissioner a nominee appointment or
instituting a commission seat on the Board.
