Chairman Stuart Sorg reviewed the Board membership, as revised in January
1981, which is going to be submitted to the City Commission along with a
proposed Resolution incorporating changes in the Board makeup. He read the
proposed Resolution, and asked Mr. Rodriguez for the wording in the addition
to include Watson Island Marinas which does not appear in the original
Resolution.
In answer to his question Mr. Rodriguez stated that the Commission didn't
include Watson Island in the original Resolution and the wording they could
propose to be included was "All City Haters".
Mr. Rodriguez further stated that Waterfront issues also included properties
on the river, so by using "City Waters", they would not exclude anything
when they refer to Waterfront issues.
After a discussion on Waterfront issues, they came up with the conclusion
of leaving the wording of the Resolution (79-172) the way it is.
A motion was made by Peter Anderson, modifying Resolution 79-172 by the
deleticn of the words "except t,.atson Island".
Mr. Pail Andre seconded the motion, all Board members were in favor.
Mr. Sorg moved to the second Item on the Agenda which was the Florida Boating
Improvement Program, to which the Coconut Grove Development Authority has
dedicated special consideration. He stated that all boats that are registered
in Dade County or receiving a decal, generate revenue, and these funds go up
to the State and they send a percentage back to Dade County. He further
stated that 64`. of these are from the City of Miami, and some way they are
not rebating these funds to the City. He added, that he would like to support
the Development Authority, and go before the City Commission and ask them to
get these funds back to the City from the County.
Mr. Paul Andre moved to support the effort, Lopez seconded; all Board members
were in favor.
Mr. Sorg introduced Mr. Tony Clemente, Asst. Director of Dade County Department
of Environmental Resources Management, and stated that the reason he invited
Mr. Clemente was because the issue of Marine Sanitation Devices was going
to become a very important City's consideration in the very near future.
