A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR & CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO
CITY COMMISSION AGENDA; APPROVING THE
REFORMATTING OF THE CITY COMMISSION AGENDA; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
In the spirit of cooperation in affording Notice and due process to our residents and the City
Commission; the attached resolution is recommended approving the changes in the agenda
format. Under this new proposal, no longer will the items of the City Commission be at the end
of the agenda, but will be ahead of the City Manager's and the City Attorney's reports, and said
items will provide a broad scope for putting items on the agenda as it shall now be entitled "City
Commission's Reports, Discussion, and Remarks ".
The former remarks section at the end of the agenda will be omitted, and both our citizens and
the City Commission will now have ample Notice of items to be presented by other
Commissioners.
It is jointly recommended by the City Manager and the City Attorney that this resolution
reformatting the City Commission agenda be adopted.
