DISCUSSION ITEM
Office of the City DISCUSSION REGARDING THE SUNSETTING OF INACTIVE CITY OF
Clerk MIAMI BOARDS.
DISCUSSED
Chair Suarez: DI. 3.
Commissioner Carollo: Are we taking all these out of order?
Chair Suarez: No. We're taking them in order, but we're just waiting for the charter amendments
since they're the most controversial out of all of them, I think. I think that's what everybody --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Yeah. Let's get all (UNINTELLIGIBLE).
Chair Suarez: Let's get everything done. D13, sunsetting of inactive boards.
Todd Hannon (Assistant City Clerk): Good afternoon, Commissioners.
Commissioner Carollo: Move it.
Chair Suarez: Is there a motion?
Commissioner Gort: Move it.
Commissioner Carollo: Move it.
Chair Suarez: Let me tell you, I would pass the gavel on this.
Vice Chair Same: Second.
Mr. Hannon: I just need to provide some brief background on a report that --
Chair Suarez: Do you really have to?
Commissioner Carollo: Do we have to?
Mr. Hannon: No, sir. Basically, what is being requested of the Commission at this time is a
direction allowing the Clerk's office to work with the City Attorney's office to determine if the
boards identified in the report titled "City of Miami Boards, Committees, Trusts, and Agencies,"
code Section 2-892, Sunset Review of Boards, dated June 14, 2012, can be removed from Section
2-892 and, if possible, sunsetted; and for legislation to be brought back to the Commission
addressing those boards. That can be removed or sunsetted, and I just simply need -- if you'd
just like to concur with that direction.
Chair Suarez: Well, I believe that you made a motion to that effect --

Commissioner Carollo: Yes, sir.
Chair Suarez: -- and the Vice Chair seconded the motion.
Commissioner Carollo: Isn't that what's in our agenda, on the backup?
Mr. Hannon: It's not necessary for a notion. We just simply need a direction to work with the
City Attorney's office and --
Chair Suarez: We're all in agreement to give you that --
Mr. Hannon: -- the Admin --
Chair Suarez: -- direction.
Commissioner Carollo: Yes.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: You're directed.
Mr. Hannon: Thank you, Commissioner.
Chair Suarez: You are hereby directed by us all.
Commissioner Carollo: Yes.
Chair Suarez: Unanimously.
Mr. Hannon: Thank you.
