Chair Sarnoff.- Equal Opportunity Advisory Board. Do I have an appointment to that right
now?
Priscilla A. Thompson (City Clerk): You sure do. On the Equal Opportunity Board, you actually
have a Mr. Lewis Maurice. However, it is my understanding that Mr. Maurice has qualified for
an office for election, and -- if I'm not mistaken -- and our City Attorney can address that -- once
you qualify, according to our Code, it is a resignation from the board that you serve.
Chair Sarnoff.- Do you know what office he's qualified for?
Ms. Thompson: No, sir. I'm sorry, off the top of my head. I can check it out for you.
Vice Chair Carollo: He's -- I'm sorry, I didn't hear the name. He's running for Congress,
District 25.
Chair Sarnoff.- Oh, that's right, that's right. All right, a person cannot -- can -- how does that
work, Madam City Attorney?
Maria J. Chiaro (Deputy City Attorney): Qualification for an elective office is considered a
resignation automatically from any board of the City of Miami.
Chair Sarnoff.- For any state --
Ms. Chiaro: Any elective office.
Chair Sarnoff.- So even if --
Ms. Chiaro: Any elected office.
Chair Sarnoff.- -- it's federal?
