A FOUR -FIFTHS (4/5THS) AFFIRMATIVE VOTE, AFTER A PUBLIC HEARING,
PURSUANT TO SECTION 2-614 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF MIAMI,
FLORIDA, AS AMENDED ("CITY CODE"), WAIVING THE CONFLICT OF
INTEREST PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN SECTION 2-612 OF THE CITY CODE,
TO ENABLE MIRTA "MIKKI" PADRON CANTON TO ENTER INTO AN
AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF MIAMI, FOR THE PURPOSE OF SERVING AS
SENIOR PUBLIC POLICY ADVISOR TO THE MAYOR.
WHEREAS, the City Manager wishes to retain Mirta "Mikki" Padron Canton to advise the City of
Miami ("City") regarding public -private economic development partnerships and international alliances,
and intergovernmental affairs; and
WHEREAS, Section 2-612 of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended ("City Code"),
prohibits a family member of an employee of the City from entering into a contract or transacting any
business with the City; and
WHEREAS, Section 2-614 of the City Code allows the City Commission to waive such prohibitions
if certain specific findings are made by the City Commission;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI,
FLORIDA:
Section 1. The recitals and findings contained in the Preamble to this Resolution are adopted by
reference and incorporated as if fully set forth in this Section.
Section 2. The prohibitions contained in Sections 2-612 of the City Code, are waived pursuant to
Section 2-614 of the City Code, by a four -fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote of the members of the City
Commission, after a public hearing, as such prohibitions pertain to Mirta "Mikki" Padron Canton.
Section 3. The waiver set forth in Section 2 hereof is based upon the following findings:
(a) Mirta "Mikki" Padron Canton's services to advise the City as Senior Public Policy Advisor to the
Mayor regarding public -private economic development partnerships and international alliances, and
intergovernmental affairs are unique and the city cannot avail itself of such services without entering
into a transaction which would violate this section but for waiver of its requirements; and
(b) Mirta "Mikki" Padron Canton's services are in the best interest of the City.
Section 4. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption and signature of
