Board of County Commissioners	1/22/2009	7C	Adopted				P
REPORT:	County Attorney Robert Cuevas read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record. Commissioner Rolle expressed appreciation to Chairman Moss for appointing him to the Miami-Dade Sports Commission. He expressed concern with the Sports Commission no longer having two chairpersons, but only one chair appointed by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) when members of that board were allowed an opportunity to vote for a second chair Commissioner Diaz explained that when the Sports Commission was being restructured, he requested two chairpersons be appointed to this board out of respect for Lawrence (Larry) Gautier who did such a good job. However, the Sports Commission was the only board with two chairs and a decision was made to appoint only one chair to make it consistent with all other boards. Commissioner Rolle noted his concern was that other voting members of the Sports Commission were denied the right to choose a chairman, and he would not support this ordinance. Chairman Moss said he felt the Sports Commission should have only one chairperson appointed by the BCC, since the BCC funded most of that organization’s activities. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed ordinance as presented.
