existing transfer sue=ions is anticipated =o ¢-~ence in FY 92-93, with
completion in FY 94-95. C&piual improvements will also be required for
the closure of completed and existing landfill cells to ccmply with
Sta=e regulations.
Neighborhood Trash and Recyclin~ Centers. The Me=to-Dada Solid Waste
Management Depar~men= has es=a~lished a system of neighborhcod trash and
recycling can=mrs in unincorporated Dada County to facilitate =he
disposal of residential yard trash and bulky waste. (See Figure 10.)
This eye=em of 21 can=ers needs =c be expanded to keep up with popula-
tion grow=h and to minimize persistent illegal dumping in some areas.
In addition, =brae of these neighborhood centers are located on land
leased from private par=les. As such, the continued presence of these
facilities is in question. Permanent sites to r~lace existing centers
located on leased land, and to provide for the new can=ers ~hat will he
required to serve future populaticn growth, should be acquired well in
advance of ac=ual need. This will permit these n~w centers to be
developed in locations t. hat are convenient to local residents and
minimize land use conflicts wi~h adjoining properties.
The proposed guidelines for ensuring adequate neighborhood trash and
recycling center service requires that such facilities be located within
a three mile distance of residential areas within the Urban'Development
Boundary (UDB) and, where feasible, within five miles of rural residen-
tial concen:ra=icns. In par=icular, convenien= can=ere are needed in
Kendall wes= of SW 137 Avenue. Sites for additional facilities should
he acquired early within o=her developing communities, before sites
become too difficult to obtain.
The minimum required propez~y size fcr all new neighborhood trash and
recycling can=ers is one and cna-half acres. These can=ers are in=ended
for residential usage, and as such, should be located in indus=rial
areas convenient tc residential areas, but may nemd tc he located in
o=her Land Use Plan map catsgoriss convenient to residential users.
Areas designated Environmental Profab-=ion areas on the CDMP, however,
are not acceptable for such facilities. When located in the ~mediate
proximity of residential neighborhoods, sites for new can=ere should
include sufficient area to amply buffer the residential area from
at=endan= impac=s. To meet existing deficiencies in =he West Dada area,
land ac.cuisi=ion for four new bulky was:e stations has been proposed for
inclusion in =he Capital Improvements Elemen=, scheduled for acquisition
this year with cons=re,ion scheduled for fiscal year 1992-1993. Based
on a 3-mile service radius guideline, these stations are needed in the
general vicinity of i) NW 36 Street and NW 107 Avenue; 2) SW 56 Street
and SW 147 Avenue, 3) SW 152 Street and SW 147 Avenue, and 4) SW 296
St=eat and SW 152 Avenue.

**--An incidental main motion which usually requires a
majority vote with previous notice or a 2/3 vote with-
out previous notice.
Before a motion has been stated by the chair, it can be
withdrawn or modified by the maker. After being stated
by the chair, it can be withdrawn or modified only by
general consent or a majority vote of the assembly.
Hasty or iii-advised action can be corrected through the
motion to reconsider, This motion can be made only by
one who voted on the prevailing side and must be made
on the same day or next succeeding day after the original
vote was taken (not counting a day on which no business
meeting is held during a session).
PERTINENT FACTS
A main motion brings busi-
ness before the assembiy.
A eubeldlary motion assists
the assembly in treating or
disposing of a main motion
and sometimes of other
motions.
A prh~lleged moffon deals
with special matters of im-
mediate importance. It does
not relate to the pending
business.
An Incidental motion is re-
lated to the parliamentary
situation in such a way that
it must be decided before
business can proceed.
FORMS OF VOTING
A voice vote is the most
commonly used form of
voting.
A rising vote is the normal
method of voting on mo-
tions requiring a two-thirds
vote for adoption. It is also
used to verify a voice vote
or a vote by show of hands.
The chair can order a rising
vote or a single member can
call for a divison of the
assembly.
A show of hands is an alter-
native for a voice vote, some-
times used in small boards,
committees, or very small
assemblies or for a rising
vote in very small assem-
blies If no member objects.
A count can be ordered by
the chair or by a majority
vote of the assembly.
General consent is a vote of
silent agreement without a
single objection.
A ballot or roll call vote can
be ordered by a majority.
Rulings of the chair can be
appealed.

STA]
THE BIG SHOW
But the man heading up South
Florida's Super Bowl XXIX orga-
nizing effort sees past the surface
of that benefit as he assembles
teams of volunteers to make cer-
tain that every aspect of prepara-
tion for the week is handled prop-
erly.
"It's not just the direct impact
of the Super Bowl that we are
dealing with here," said Charles
Scurr. "It's much bigger than that.
If we can get people to say that
Miami is a great place, that they
can go on vacation or have a con-
vention there, the indirect impact
of this game will be far greater
than the direct impact.
"Look at who goes to this
game. You're talking about the
corporate leaders of America.
When they are thinking about
conventions or business expan-
sion, we want them to think
South Florida."
So plans are in the works to
make their week here the most
hospitable of their lives. They will
be greeted at the airport, driven
by trained taxi drivers. They will
stay at hotels where workers also
have been trained and manage-
ment has been warned about
gouging. There will be press par-
ties and league parties and com-
munity parties. Stone crabs might
be extinct by the end of the week.
"It's an all-encompassing effort
to make the place shine," says
Scurf.
And, for the first time in
South Florida Super Bowl history,
this week-long frenzy of civic pro-
motion and flesh-pressing bashes
will have a tri-county flavor.
The past six times that Miami
has hosted the Super Bowl, it
basically was a Dade County festi-
val. The teams stayed in Dade
and all Super Bowl-related events
were held in Dade.
This time around, Broward
Charles Scurr is calling the signals for
Super Bowl XXIX.
and Palm Beach will become
heavily involved. Plans call for
one of the teams to stay in
Broward and for events around
the game to be scheduled in all
three counties. There will likely
be Host Committee satellite
offices in each county.
"That is significant for the
communitT," said Dick Anderson,
the former Miami Dolphin safety
who headed up the Super Bowl
effort in 1989. "It spreads out the
activities and should spread out
the economic impact."
"it's an
all-encompassing
effort to make the
place shine,"
says Scurr.
"Something like the Super
Bowl is of such magnitude that it
affects the whole community,"
added Scurr. "When you are talk-
ing about things like the trans-
portation network and making it
function smoothly, you have to
took at more than one county."
The Host Committee has vol-
unteer co-chairs from all three
counties. Dade is represented by
Sergio Pino, a past president of
the Latin Builders Association,
Susan Norton, president-elect of
the Greater Miami Chamber of
Commerce and Robert Beatty,
senior counsel at Southern Bell.
Broward is represented by Ben
Wagman of the Broward
Economic Development Council,
attorney Joel Gustafson and Nikki
Orossman, the executive director
of the Hollywood Chamber of
Commerce. Palm Beach is repre-
sented by attomey Richard
Ellington and CPA David
Mctntosh.
The people involved in pack-
aging the Super Bowl effort, most
of them volunteers, take their
jobs seriously because they know
the stakes are enormous. When
the Super Bowl came to Miami in
1979, a time when there weren't
any host committees, there were
problems with price gouging and
lousy service. The NFL penalized
the area, one of its favorite Super
Bowl locations, by waiting 10
years to come back.
"It's a big time investment, but
we do it because we recognize
how important it is to the contin-
ued vitality of the community,"
said Dean Colson, a Miami attor-
ney who volunteered to serve as
chairman of the Super Bowl Host
Committee. "The economic
impact of a Super Bowl is huge.
There isn't a community in the
country that wouldn't want it.
Everybody involved cares about
their community and that is why
we get involved."
Scurf, the president of the
Host Committee, is a paid
employee who administers the
estimated $3.6 million Super
Bowl Host Committee budget,
the cost of which is split by the
public and private sectors. He has
been the vice president and chief
administrative officer for the
MVPCLUB / 9
i' H I~ B I (~ S H O W
Lipton Tennis Championships
since he sen'ed as president of the
Super Bowl XXII1 Host
Committee.
The excitement of planning a
Super Bowl is what inspires him
to keep making career decisions
each time South Florida is award-
ed the game.
"South Florida will become
the center of focus of the free
world for an entire week," says
Scurr. "Over 750 million people
worldwide, 100 million in the
United States, will view the
Super Bowl. That is an unparal-
leled opportunity for our commu-
nity to do something to counter-
act the negative publicity we
have been receiving."
The Host Committee will
break down into 15 different sub-
committees that will cover every-
thing from transportation to secu-
rity, hotels to VIP treatment. The
blueprint will be the 1989 effort,
which many NFL employees
called their best Super Bowl week
ever.
There will be a 1-800 hotline
for hotel and rental car informa-
tion. The hotel committee will
supervise the training of the hotel
employees and staff all major
hotels with volunteers. The trans-
portation committee will take
charge of more than 6,000 bus,
taxi and limo drivers and make
sure they have uniforms and
know the location of all Super
Bowl event locations. There will
be a line of Host Committee mer-
chandise. The last time around,
the committee projected images
of football players onto downtown
buildings and put little goodies on
the pillows of sports writers, who

are wined and dined all week.
"We are fortunate that we
aren't starring from ground zero,"
Scurr said. "ln 1989, we hadn't
had a Super Bowl here in 10
years. There were no existing
records. Now we have a complete
set of records which is a good
starting point.
"But it is broader this time.
There are new challenges. It is a
whole new ballgame. This stuff is
very exciting. There is nothing in
this country bigger than the
Super Bowl."
The NFL knows this and
closely scrutinizes the work of the
local committees at each venue.
"Most of the people
1 talked to had glowing
comments about
Miami (after the 1989
Super Bowl)," said Jim
Steeg, the NFI2s
Director of Special
Events. "I think every-
one who came was
pretty happy."
Anderson credited those
reviews to the effort that was put
forth by the Host Committee.
"It was a huge job," said
Anderson. "We probably did
more than we should've the last
time. It takes a tremendous
amount of cooperation between
the government, private industry
and the NFL.
"It's a business transaction and
a civic experience, more akin to
politics than football. The job of
the Host Committee is not to
deal with the teams, the stadium
or the game. It is to make sure
that the people who visit the
community have an exciting and
enjoyable experience. I think we
accomplished that 1,000 percent
in 1989, particularly since we had
a civil disturbance at that time.
The plans we set forth, the par-
ties, all went off without a hitch.
If it weren't for the carefully laid
plans, it could'ye been total
chaos."
Six years later, all of the work
must now be done again. Thou-
sands of media members will
come to town and scrutinize every
aspect of the game. The Host
Committee once again will oper-
ate under a microscope with the
burden of representing an entire
community.
"A lot of logistical things have
to be taken care of to pull offa
Super Bowl," said Colson. "If you
do it right, everybody leaves and
says nice things about you. But if
you do it wrong, everybody in the
world knows about it." ·

Now, thanks to San Francisco s daw-
dling on stadium improvements, the big
game could return tO Joe Hobble Sta-
dium a bit sooner than expected. During
the March 10-15 meetings of National
Football League team owners in West
Palm Beach, the league will need to nail
down a site for the 1999 game. If San
Francisco can't handle it, South Florida
stands ready.
Today's Super Bowl XXX in the
Phoenix suburb of Tempe, Ariz. and
the two weeks of hype preceding it
serve as timely reminders of the multi-
ple benefits of serving as host for the
game and its many related events. Super
Bowls bring a media blitz, attract a
worldwide TV audience of more than
130 million viewers, and yield an esti-
mated $150 million in economic bene-
fits for the host region.
Last year it was South Florida's turn
for the seventh time. The game was
staged at Joe Robbie
Stadium, one of the
league's best facilities
for watching football
and for corporate par-
tying. The related
events -- and the eco-
nomic spinoffs -- were
deliberately spread
around Dade,
with glowing accounts of the region's
hospitality and with far fewer of the
past's horror sfories of traffic night-
mares, price-gouging and petty crimes.
Moreover, under the leadership of
Dean Colson and Charles Scurr, the host
committee made a concerted effort to
ensure that the event's economic bene-
fits were more equitably distributed
around the entire community than in
the past. Organizers consciously sought
out bids from minority Contractors and
suppliers, for instance, and the NFL
made generous donations to help dis-
advantaged youngsters participate in
supervised sports activities.
Even if San Francisco manages to sal-
vage its status as host for the 1999 game,
the local preparations to bid for that
game won't go for naught. Later this
year, probably during the owners' meet-
ings in October, the NFL is expected to
choose a site for the Super Bowl XXXIV
in the year 2000. Get ready, South Flor-
ida, and go for it!

Miami, Ft. Lauderdale & West Palm Beach, FL
Managing Director
President
I serve as the Managing Director of the South Florida Super Bowl Host
Committee Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) corporation. The Foundation is the
continuing legacy of the Super Bowl and is building a series of "Youth
Education Towns" for at-risk youth. The first YET Center, a $2.5 million
facility in Gwen Cherw Park in the Liberty City area of Mianu, is currently
under construction. Plans are underway for two additional YET Centers at
Moore Park and Grapeland Heights Parks in the City of Miami.
I also serve as the President of the South Florida Super Bowl XXIX Host
Committee. The Host Committee is the predecessor organization of the Super
Bowl Foundation and still continues in order to bid and Host future Super
Bowls. The Host Committee was the "Local Organizing Committee" for Super
Bowl XXIX played on January 29, 1995 at Joe Robbie Stadium. It is a tri-
County public/private partnership established as a 501 (c)(6) corporation.
I report to the Chair of the Committee and an 18 person Board of Directors
comprised of South Florida business and conm~unity leaders. The Committee
also has a 40 Member Board of Advisors consisting of local political leaders,
approximately 130 Committee Co-Chairs and over 6,450 active volunteers. The
Host Conmaittee budget for the 1995 Super Bowl is $5.0 million ($3.6 million
cash and $1.4 million in-kind). The paid staff totaled 42.
The Snper Bowl is the premier American sporting event. The immediate
economic impact on the South Florida economy is over $150 million. Them is
also a tremendous long term impact on tourism as a result of the 2,500
accredited journalists covering the event and the worldwide television viewing
audience of 750 million, including 140 million Americans. There is, as well, a
tremendous potential convention and business development impact through the
corporate leadership of the United States tbat attends the Super Bowl.
The Host Committee is organized into 22 Committees, or Departments. Each
Department has designated staff, budget and scope of work. The Commi.ees
include Audit & Finance, Beautification & Recycling, Community Relations,
Governmental Relations, Hotels, Minority Business, Marketing & Public
Relations, Media, Pablic Safety, Restaurants, Special Events, Sponsorship &
Corporate Relations, Transportation, Youth Education Town, VIP and
Volunteers.
I was directly and personally responsible for all governmental and community
affairs activities. This included working directly with governmental and
community leaders throughout South Florida and, in fact, throughont the State
of Florida. The unique rtl-county public/private nature of the Super Bowl effort
fostered and necessitated this involvement. Among the governmental entities I
dealt directly with included:
State of Florida

o Transportation Department
o Commerce Department
o Florida Sports Commission
o Florida Tax Watch
Dade County
o County Commission
o County Manager

Additionally, the Super Bowl launched a major and comprehensive community
participation program. Among the many groups that I worked directly with
included:
o Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce
o Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau
o Beacon Council
o Coral Gables Chamber
o Miami Beach Chamber
o Aventura Marketing Council
o United Way of Dade County
o Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami

The Super Bowl XXIX Host Conunittee has been praised as a tremendous
success setting yet another new ~mtional standard for Super Bowl. Some of the
mom significant accomplishments of the Committee include:
o Recognition by the National Football League as having planned,
developed and implemented "the best ever job by a local community";
o The most comprehensive and successful transportation program in
Super Bowl histmy, including all transportation elements including
