BACKGROUND AND ANALYSTS
The City of South Miami established a Community Relations Board (CRB)in June of 1998.The
purposes of the Board include goals such as fostering mutual understanding,tolerance and
respect among all economic,social,religious,sexual orientation,people with special needs,age
and ethnic groups in the city,making studies in the field of human relations and acting as a
conciliator in controversies involving community relations.
The ordinance establishing the CRB called for the election ofa Chair and Vice-Chair.The CRB,
by majority vote,has requested that they be allowed the flexibility of either electing a Chair and
Vice-Chair or alternately electing Co-Chairs.The group feels that having Co-Chairs rather than
a hierarchical Chair/Vice-Chair will further their efforts at consensus building and racial and
ethnicharmony.
RECOMMENDATION
Thevote oftheCRBwas 7-2.Approval is recommended.
