That Chapter permits publication by website subject to specific conditions. The City, similar to other municipalities in Miami-Dade County, has primarily relied on the Daily Business Review (the “DBR”) for newspaper publication. The DBR is preferable to publication in the Miami Herald because of the cost. Unfortunately, the DBR ceased print publication in December. As a result, Miami-Dade County has arranged for website publication in accordance with Chapter 50, Florida Statutes, and many municipalities in the County have availed themselves 2 CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM of this option. The proposed ordinance is intended to amend regulations to leverage the new website option enabled by Miami-Dade County. 3 Page 4 of 4 133 Second Reading: 134 Moved By: 135 Seconded By: 136 7 4SE ...................................................................................................NEIGHBORS SUNDAY JANUARY 21 2024 Last week’s recall of 133,039 pounds of Park- view Turkey Polska Kiel- basa went to Aldi stores in 3 5 states and the Dis- trict of Columbia,accord- ing to Aldi and the U.S. Department of Agricul- ture.
