Second Reading Ordinance
CITY OF MIAMI
CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor : . Members
of the City Commin
FROM: Jorge L. Fernando Att
DATE: October 1, 2004
RE:
October 14, 2004 Agenda — Ordinances Restructuring the CRAs
File Numbers: 04-00779 and 04-00783
Scheduled for second reading on the October 14, 2004 City Commission Agenda are two
competing ordinances providing for appointment of an outside board to govern the community
redevelopment agencies., These ordinances were passed on first reading on a supplemental
agenda at the July 8, 2004 City Commission meeting with directions to bring the ordinances back
on October 14, 2004.
Upon taking office as City Attorney, I directed that all pending legislation be subjected to
a rigorous review. This review has revealed that aspects of both of the proposed ordinances are
at odds wjth Florida Statutes governing community redevelopment agencies.
At this time I am recommending that these items be voted down or continued with
instructions to redraft these ordinances to ftelly comply with Florida Statutes.
