AND SENATE DISTRICTS; PROVIDING FOR DIRECTIONS TO THE CITY CLERK; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Staff Summary: After each decennial
Census, the State of Florida undergoes a study of whether State House and Senate districts should be revised. In the event the City is divided into multiple State House and Senate Districts,

of Miami Gardens not be divided into multiple Districts. ITEM K-8) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Opposing any Redistricting Proposals
