Creation of Miami Waterfront

/-1 Board
Robert C.
On February 22, 1979, the City Commission approved in principle
the creation of a Miami Waterfront Board. Based on a thorough
and detailed discussion concerning the contents of the Resolution
which will create the Board, I have attempted to faithfully reflect
the desire of the Commission in the attached resolution.
February 27, 1979
Assuming the City Commission will approve the attached resolution
without substantial changes, I estimate that we will not be ready
to present to the Commission the names and backgrounds of all final
nominees (at least 33 names) for the Commission's consideration
until the middle of April. I will have letters to all nominating
organizations ready for your signature by March 9, 1979. If these
letters are mailed immediately, the nominating organizations will
have only three to four weeks to meet, select nominees, and furnish
the City with the necessary information on their nominees. Since
it is probably desirable to select all nine Board members at one
time, it will probably take at least three to four weeks to assemble
all the necessary information for the Commission's consideration.
