American community and shall propose policy, planning, and design to ensure maximum community
utilization, enjoyment, and maintenance of the Park as an open green space compatible with its historical
and recreational characteristics and accessible to the public. Ordinance 13065, adopted on May 14, 2009,
which amended Chapter 38, Article 6 of the City Code, authorized the waiver of the eight -consecutive year
term limitation to allow members of the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust to be reconsidered annually for an
additional one-year term by a unanimous vote of the members of the City Commission.
