The Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution R-462-07 (Attachment 1), which calls for creation of a Charter Review Task Force consisting of 21 members: 13 appointed by the members of the Board of Miami-Dade County Commissioners; one by the County Mayor; one by each of the 4 largest cities in the county; and 3 by the League of Cities to represent the smaller cities. The resolution calls for review of the entire charter and a report within 180 days after the effective date of the resolution, on or about October 31, 2007. As one of the four largest cities in Miami-Dade County, Miami Gardens is entitled to appoint a voting member to the Task Force. The Task Force is to reflect racial, ethnic and gender balance and diversity. The Task Force faces a substantial amount of work, including review of the prior 2001 Charter Review Task Force report and the conduct of public hearings to invite and receive comment by citizens, particularly persons knowledgeable about this community and its government. This appointee will serve in the best interest of the City of Miami Gardens and Miami-Dade County. If the Council has no objections, I would be willing to serve as the City's representative. Recommendation: I recommend approval of a resolution, appointing City's designee to the Charter Review Task Force.
