Sadly, on May 3, 2021, Mr. Stephen Nostrand unexpectedly passed away after serving as
a member of the Off -Street Parking Board of the City of Miami ("Board") for over fourteen
(14) years. Throughout his tenure, Mr. Nostrand served the Board meritoriously, and there
is no doubt that he would have continued to do so through November 15, 2023, the
expiration of his term.
Section 23{b) of the City of Miami Charter ("Charter") provides, in pertinent part, that
upon the passing of any Board member, such member's successor shall be named and
appointed by the remaining members of the Board, subject to confirmation by the City of
Miami ("City") Commission ("Commission") within ten (10) days of the Board's
appointment. The Charter also requires each member of the Board to either reside or have
his or her principal place of business in the City of Miarni and be an individual of
outstanding reputation for integrity, responsibility, and business ability.
To properly accomplish its responsibility under the Charter, the Board held a duly noticed
special -public meeting on June 21, 2021, to interview, evaluate and select Mr. Nostrand's
successor for the unexpired term. After thorough inquiries and deliberations, the Board
selected James S. Cassel. The formal appointment of James S. Cassel by Resolution was
properly scheduled for adoption on June 30, 2021, to allow for the City Commission's
timely confirmation of the Board's new appointment.
Attached for your approval and adoption, please find Resolution No. 21-02, appointing
James S. Cassel to the Board for the unexpired term ending November 15, 2023, subject to
confirmation by the City of Miami Commission on July 8, 2021, in accordance with
Section 23(b) Charter.
