RE: Scrivener's Error — Resolution No. 15-0168, adopted April 9, 2015, regarding
amending provisions in Chapter 339 of the Florida Statutes
File ID 15-00434
A scrivener's error appears in Resolution No. 15-0168, adopted April 9, 2015, in the
inadvertent omission of a directive of the City Commission, directing the City of Miami Clerk's
Office to send copies of the Resolution to the members of the Florida State Legislature,
Governor Rick Scott, as well as the Miami -Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization.
When adopted by the City Commission, this language was not included as Section 4 of the
Resolution. The inadvertent omission has been remedied, the necessary language included, and
the Resolution finalized.
