CITY OF AVENTURA
Memo
To: Mayor and City Commission
City of Aventura
From: Charter Revision Commission (the "CRC")
Date: December 21, 2010
Re: CRC Report and Recommendation on Charter Amendment
I. Recommendation
Pursuant to City Charter section 7.06, and after careful review of the necessity for any
revision to the City Charter, the CRC hereby respectfully recommends that an amendment of
City Charter Section 2.03(c) be presented to the electors of the City for approval or rejection.
The Charter amendment, if approved by the electors, would revise the limit on the total
combined years of consecutive service by those persons who serve separately as both Mayor and
Commissioner from eight years to twelve years of combined service. The two term limit for
those persons who serve solely as Mayor or Commissioner will remain.
The specific amendment to City Charter Section 2.03(c) is shown below, by underlining
for added text and by strikethrough for deleted text, as follows:
Section 2.03. Election and term of office.
(a)
Election and term of office. Each Commissioner and the Mayor shall be elected at-
large for four year terms by the electors of the City in the manner provided in Article
V of this Charter. The four -year term length which is provided for in this paragraph
(a), shall be extended as necessary to accomplish the election date revision made
pursuant to Charter Section 5.01 (c)(ii) of the City Charter, as applicable.
Accordingly, the term of office of the Mayor and Commission Seats 2, 4, and 6 which
would otherwise expire in March of 2009 shall instead expire in November 2010, and
the term of office of Commission Seats 1, 3 and 5 which would otherwise expire in
March of 2011, shall instead expire in November 2012.
(b)
Residential Areas. The City shall be divided by the William Lehman Causeway into
two residence areas: the north area consisting of those portions of the City lying north
of the William Lehman Causeway (the "Northern Area ") and the south area
(c)
consisting of those portions of the City lying south of the William Lehman Causeway
(the "Southern Area "). Collectively the Northern Area and the Southern Area are
"Residential Areas "; individually, each is a "Residential Area." Two Commissioners
shall reside in the Northern Area (Seats 1 and 2), two Commissioners shall reside in
the Southern Area (Seats 3 and 4), and two Commissioners shall be elected without
regard to residence in any particular Residential Area (Seats 5 and 6). Persons
running from a particular Residential Area must be a resident of the Residential Area
which s/he proposes to represent on the Commission at the time of qualifying, at the
time of his/her election and must continue to reside in such Residential Area during
his/her term of office. The Commissioners from Residential Areas 1, 2, 3, and 4 are
collectively the "Residential Area Commissioners;" individually, each is a
"Residential Area Commissioner." The Commissioners holding seats 5 and 6 are
collectively the "At -Large Commissioners "; individually, each is an "At -Large
Commissioner."
Limitations on lengths of service. No person shall serve as Mayor for more than two
consecutive elected terms. No person may serve as a Commissioner on the
Commission for more than two consecutive terms. No person may serve as a
combination of Mayor and Commissioner for more than eight twelve consecutive
years, except for the additional length of service as Mayor and /or Commissioner
described in paragraph (a) above, which results from the extension of the term of
office of Mayor and /or Commissioner as produced by the election date change
provided by Charter Section 5.01 (c)(ii). Service shall be deemed to be consecutive
unless there is an intervening four -year period during which the individual does not
serve as a Commissioner or Mayor (the 'Break in Service "). Aqy per-son serving the
maximum "vim ve vim'
C -- must have a fouf Break in ce e. Nee- o ;,, ,� Mayon Any
M111C liJ
person serving the maximum amount of time as a combination of Mayor and
Commissioner must have a four year Break in Service before serving as Mayor or
Commissioner. This Break in Service requirement shall be applicable only
prospectively and shall apply to any person who after the effective date of this Break
in Service provision reaches the maximum limitation on length of service which is
provided herein. No candidate may run for either the office of Mayor or
Commissioner when, if elected, the person would exceed the limitations on service
set forth in this paragraph by any length of time taking into account the full regular
term for the office sought.
Our recommendation includes the placement of a legislative history footnote at the proposed 12
year provision of the above text, which references this memorandum by stating , that:
"The Charter Revision Commission Report of December 21, 2010,
provides examples of the application of this 12 year limit, which
shall serve as an aide to the construction of the amendment."
II. Discussion
The CRC has directed inclusion herein of the following examples of the application of
this amended twelve year combined service limit. The twelve year combined service limit would
enable a person to be elected to serve on the City Commission, as follows:
1. A person may consecutively serve eight years (two terms) as Commissioner ,
followed by four years (one term) as Mayor;
2. A person may serve eight years (two terms) as Mayor, followed by four years (one
term) as Commissioner;
3. A person may serve four years (one term) as Commissioner, followed by eight years
(two terms) as Mayor;
4. A person may serve four years (one term) as Mayor, followed by eight years (two
terms) as Commissioner;
5. A person may serve four years ( one term) as Commissioner, followed by four years
one term ) as Mayor, followed by four years ( one term) as Commissioner;
6. A person may serve four years ( one term ) as Mayor, followed by four years ( one
term) as Commissioner, followed by four years ( one term) as Mayor;
7. A further example, concerning the situation of where a Commissioner completes his
or her 8 years of service, at a time that does not coincide with the expiration of the
Mayor's term, is appropriate. An illustrative example under that scenario is that a
Commissioner whose second term of office expires in November 2012 (at a time
when the Mayor's term does not expire until 2014), may wait out two years ( while
not serving as Commissioner or Mayor) and then seek election as Mayor in 2014,
and would be eligible to serve as Mayor for a single term of four years ( 8 + 4 =12
years, combined service) . Of course, a person may always wait out for a period of
four years under the Break in Service provision of Charter Section 2.03 (c) and be
eligible for a new combined consecutive service total of 12 years thereafter.
The above list of examples may not be exhaustive of all possibilities, but shall serve to
illustrate the intent and application of the Charter amendment, if approved by the
electors.
III. Conclusion
The CRC respectfully requests that the City Commission consider this report at the
February, 2011 City Commission meeting. We recognize that the Commission will, as required
3
by City Charter Section 7.06, place this proposed Charter amendment before the City electors at
an election which takes place no sooner than 60 days and no later than 150 days after the date of
this report.
All members were honored to have had the opportunity to be of service to the City.

Fwd: Resolution supporting the Let's Move Cities & Towns Campaign Page 2 of 2
The Florida League of Mayors Board of Directors voted to adopt a resolution
supporting the Let's Move Cities & Towns Campaign. This is an initiative by First
Lady Michelle Obama calling on mayors and elected officials across the country to
help solve the problem of childhood obesity. Her goal is to do what we can to
reverse the nation's childhood obesity epidemic within a generation.
Let's Move Cities and Towns targets one of America's gravest public health threats
and emphasizes the critical leadership mayors and other city leaders can provide to
spur local action. Participating cities and towns agree to take simple steps that
promote healthy eating and physical activity, choosing strategies that make sense
for their own communities.
Let's Move Cities and Towns encourages municipal officials to adopt a long -term,
sustainable and holistic approach to childhood obesity. Once a municipality signs up
as a prospective Let's Move City or Let's Move Town, the city will choose at least
one significant action to take in the following 12 months.
Mayors are encouraged to adopt the attached resolution and sign up as a Let's
Move City/Town.
Once adopted send a copy to:
Anton Gunn, Regional Director
U.S. Department of Health Services
61 Forsyth Street, South West, Suite 5B -95
Atlanta, Georgia 30303 -8909
For more information or to sign up online for Let's Move Cities and Towns, please

Sincerely,
John Charles Thomas, Executive Director
