REPORT:	Assistant County Attorney Valda Christian read the foregoing proposed resolution into the record. Vice Chairwoman Sosa offered an amendment to the foregoing proposed resolution to recommend that the Miami-Dade Animal Services Foundation, Inc. amend its Articles of Incorporation to incorporate language requiring the submittal of an annual report to the “County Mayor or Mayor’s designee” in lieu of the “County Manager.” Assistant County Attorney Dennis Kerbel advised the Committee that the Foundation was a separate entity and the Committee could suggest this proposed amendment to the Foundation. A discussion ensued between Vice Chairwoman Sosa and Assistant County Attorney Kerbel regarding the proposed amendment to require the submittal of an annual report to the County Mayor due to the Strong Mayor form of government for this County. Assistant County Attorney Kerbel noted this proposed resolution would go before the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) and perhaps between this Committee meeting and the final adoption by the BCC, the Foundation could consider the proposed amendment. The Committee forwarded the foregoing proposed resolution to the BCC with a favorable recommendation with Committee amendment(s) to recommend that the Miami-Dade Animal Services Foundation, Inc. amend its Articles of Incorporation to incorporate language requiring the submittal of an annual report to the “County Mayor or Mayor’s designee” in lieu of the “County Manager.”
