Russo, City Manager <br /> DATE: 2/21/2013 <br /> RE: Appointment of Special Masters <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Resolution <br /> reappointing Attorney Maurice Donskv, Attorney Rafael E. Suarez-Rivas, and Attorney <br /> Ellen Lavin as Special Masters for the City of Sunny Isles Beach. <br /> REASONS: <br /> Special Masters are the presiding officers at our Code Enforcement Administrative <br /> Hearings. Administrative hearings provide a means by which individuals cited for code <br /> violations can plead their case and be heard before an impartial party. Sunny Isles Beach <br /> Code Section 14-3 states that appointments of Special Masters shall be made by the City <br /> Manager, as needed on the basis of experience, skills and abilities and, whenever <br /> possible, shall include persons with legal zoning, engineering and/or construction <br /> experience, for a term of one year. The Code further states that appointments shall be <br /> submitted to the City Commission for ratification. <br /> Attorney Maurice Donsky, Attorney Rafael E. Suarez-Rivas, and Attorney Ellen Lavin <br /> are our current Special Masters, and are serving with favorable results to date. The City <br /> Attorney has recommended these individuals to me, and therefore, I recommend the <br /> reappointments of all of the City's current Special Masters. <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> All of our Special Masters have many years of experience and have served for numerous <br /> other municipalities in Miami-Dade County. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> http://sibagenda.sibfl.net/Agenda/Preview.aspx?ItemI D=970&MeetinglD=O&MeetingDate... 2/12/2013 <br />
