OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Julie O. Bru, City Attorneys/
DATE: May 18, 2010
RE: Directive of March 11, 2010 — Miami River Discussion
Matter ID No.: 10-1221
On March 11, 2010, the City Commission directed the Planning Department and the
City Attorney to reach a compromise with the Miami River Marine Group Inc. regarding
proposed language related to the Miami River, adopted as part of the Evaluation and Appraisal
Report (EAR). The document attached here is the result of that compromise.
The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) requested changes to the language of the
Miami Comprehensive Plan that was adopted in November, 2008 as part of the EAR process.
The Miami River Marine Group Inc. intervened in the discussions with DCA about the
language. Mediation concerning the changes with the DCA is ongoing until DCA accepts the
modified language or challenges it.
If the City Commission tentatively approves that which is presented here, it will be
submitted to DCA, which would need to accept it before the City Commission formally adopts
it.
