CODI

The Commission on Disability Issues (CODI) is an official advisory board to the Miami-Dade County Commission. County ordinance requires that all applicants be approved by CODI before being submitted for final selection by the County Commission. That is to ensure that all members of CODI have demonstrated a commitment to the advancement of people with disabilities, that at least half of the members are people with disabilities, and that the membership represents a broad spectrum of people with disabilities, minorities and women.

Advising all on disability issues

CODI advises the County Commission on County government issues that affect people with disabilities. The County Commission may refer items to CODI, or CODI may choose to address the Board, or forward opinions or recommendations to the Board. CODI also provides advice to the County Manager's Office and to County departments. They may request opinions from CODI . County staff may be invited to CODI meetings to make presentations, provide information, or discuss issues.

While CODI's primary role is to advise Miami-Dade County, it can, and often does, make recommendations on municipal, state and federal issues.
