Committee votes: ordinances for two redevelopment agencies and other routine items approved
Summary
The Appropriations Committee approved two ordinances authorizing community redevelopment agencies to employ staff and approved other routine items; a land disposition item drew public comment but was handled administratively.
At Thursday’s Miami-Dade Appropriations Committee meeting, members voted on several routine items.
Ordinances: The committee approved ordinances amending code sections to authorize the NW 70th Street Corridor Community Redevelopment Agency and the NW Seventh Avenue Corridor Community Redevelopment Agency to employ staff, agents and legal counsel in accordance with Section 163.356 of the Florida Statutes. Committee members recorded unanimous support.
Other items: The committee approved item 2E (details in committee packet) after a request to pull it for discussion; staff and the sponsoring commissioner agreed to follow up on the specifics. No substantive opposition was recorded in committee.
Dispositions and public comment: The committee heard a public comment on agenda item 3F from Jerry Proctor, an attorney representing an adjacent property owner seeking to purchase a 25-foot strip of county-owned land in North Miami Beach. Proctor said his client agreed with the staff recommendation and sought committee support; the committee pulled 3F for a brief question-and-answer but the transcript does not record a final committee vote on 3F.
