Government Structure
it
The City Manager form of government is based on the premise that the responsibility for
policy rests with the City Council and the responsibility for daily administration and
execution of policy rests with the City Manager. In order for this form of government to be
effective, a team-like atmosphere between the City Council and administration must be
developed. The CouncillManager structure is similar to a private corporation as it
emphasizes that the government operates as a business. The structure of Aventura's
government reflects this concept. A comparison is shown as follows:

RELATIONSHIP TO CITY BOARDS
it
The City Charter specifies how boards are established and that they report to the City
Council.
Section 3.11. City boards and agencies.
Except as otherwise provided by law, the Council shall establish or terminate such boards and agencies as it may
deem advisable from time to time. The boards and agencies shall report to the Council. Members of boards and agencies
shall be appointed by the Mayor subject to the approval of the Council.
City Boards should function independently and provide recommendation to the entire City
Council and City Manager. Careful consideration should be taken before a board is
established. Every Board should have a stated purpose that fits into the framework of City
government and provides a link between the citizenry and the elected officials. A vision of
the City's general policy direction with a focus on specific responsibilities of an individual
board is necessary for an effective process.
The establishment of Boards have an impact on staff. The staff liaison normally serves as
the Council's representative to the Board. Staff members provide technical and
administrative assistance to the board as follows:
e Provide initial orientation and continuing education for board members.
e Supply background information on agenda issues.
e When requested, make recommendations.
e Attend meeting in a non-voting capacity.
e Inform board members of City Council action.
e Take and distribute minutes and provide notification of meeting dates.
When boards are successful, it is because the members and staff have a clear
understanding of the board's purpose and they work together to achieve that purpose.
How It Works
1. City Council ,adopts Ordinance establishing Board, which at ~ minimum includes
membership requirements and duties of the Board.
2. Staff is assigned to Board and orientation session is held.
3. Board holds meetings, reviews policy issues and other matters under its jurisdiction and
makes recommendation to the City Council.
4. The staff is utilized as the communications conduit between the Board and Council to
facilitate the flow of information.
5. The Board Chairperson may make special presentations to the City Council.

THE CHAIRMAN'S ROLE
Your most important duty is to learn your office.
A good chairman is on hand before a meeting begins with a copy
of the agenda; and when a quorum is present, calls the meeting
to order ON TIME!
You call the meeting to order with one rap of the gavel, and
you maintain order at all times.
You announce the next business in order, not the next order of
business.
You place the business on the floor by stating and putting the
motion. You may, and often should, guide the wording of motions
and amendments, stating them in proper form.
You ask the recording secretary to call the roll on the motion,
announce the outcome and the result of the vote.
You do not allow frivolous or fractious motions - you state the
motion is out of order, or out of order at this time, NOT THE
MEMBER.
You may vote to make or break a tie or when your vote would
change the outcome; you V9te on appeals to decisions of the
Chair, and a tie vote sustains the decision. Otherwise a tie
vote is lost.
You refer to yourself as the Chair, or in the third person;
never as I, me or mine. The Chair must be kept impersonal since
the Chair is the symbol of authority of the assembly and
represents each and every member. By the same token, the
assembly must refer to the Chair by ti tIe and not by name.
Remember, any discourtesy to the Chair is impersonal or- a
discourtesy to the office and not to the person in the Chair.
You are fair and impartial at all times.
GOOD LUCK!

GOVERNH:ENT IN THE SUNSHINE :LAW
SECTION 386.011, ~LORIDA STAT~TESh
I. Basic Provisions.
Section 286.011(1) provides that:
"All meetings of any board or commission of any
state agency or authority or of any agency or
authority of any county, municipal corporation,
or political subdivision, except as otherwise
provided in the Constitution, at which official
acts are to be taken are declared to be public
meetings open to the public at all times, and
no resolution, rule, or formal action shall be
considered binding except as taken or made at
such meeting."
II. What constitutes a "board or commission?"
A. All governing bodies and decision making
committees.
B. Advisory boards that are more than mere fact-
finders. A public body cannot escape the
application of the Sunshine Law by delegating
a job to an "alter ego". Advisory boards with
"decision-making" functions (i.e. screening
applicants for an appointed position) are subject
to the Sunshine Law. The courts focus on'the
nature of the act performed in determining whether
a board is decision-making or merely fact-
finding.
III. What constitutes a "meeting?"
A. An occasion where two or more members of the same
board are present (includes presence physically, by
telephone, or even when conferring by written
documents), and
B. Discussion ensues on a matter on which "foreseeable
action" will be taken (encompasses entire decision-
making process, including briefings, workshops,
seminars, etc.).
-19-

IV. Requirements for a public meeting.
A. Location
p
1. Section 286.011(6) prohibits holding pUblic
meetings at any facility that discriminates
on the basis of sex, age, race, creed, color,
origin, or economic status.
2. Section 286.26 requires accommodations to be
made, upon written request received at least
48 hours in advance, for phYSically
handicapped individuals.
B. Notice
1. The Statute does not contain any particular
notice requirement.
2. The courts have interpreted the intent of
the statutes to require "reasonable notice".
3. In an informal opinion, the Attorney General's
office has suggested that reasonable notice
should contain the time and place of the
meeting and, if available, an agenda
(otherwise a summary of subject matter) (notes
the courts have held publication of an agenda
is not required and it is not a Sunshine,Law
violation to discuss items not on the agenda).
The Attorney General has further advised that
these notices should be "prominently
displayed" in a City Hall or comparable area
set aside for that purpose and that the
notices should be posted sufficiently in
advance to provide "appropriate and effective
notice under the circumstances." Except
in cases of emergency, special meetings should
have at least 24 hours reasonable notice.
4. Section 286.0105 requires that each notice
include the advice that if a person decides
to appeal any decision, he may need to ensure
that a verbatim record of the proceedings is
made.
-20-
-.
. ~""
C. Minutes
1.
Section
kept of
be open
. it
286.011(2) requires that minutes be
each public meeting and that they
to public inspection.
2. Meetings may be tape recorded or video taped,
but minutes must still be kept in addition to
the recordings.
D. Voting
1. Section 286.012 requires that all members
present at a meeting vote on official actions
or decisions unless they comply with the
conflict of interest provisions of Chapter
112 Florida Statutes.
2. Roll call votes on all matters are not
necessary.
3. Secret ballots are prohibited.
V. Effect of Sunshine Law violations.
A. Sanctions
1. Criminal - Knowing violation of the Sunshine
Law is a second degree misdemeanor, with,
penalties of up to $500 in fines and up to
60 days in jail.
2. Civil-Inadvertent violations are civil
infractions with penalties not to exceed
$500 fine.
B. Validity of actions taken in violation of the
Sunshine Law.
1. Actions which have been taken are
void ab initio.
2. Members of the general public have
standing to sue.
3. Initial action taken in violation of the
Sunshine Law can be cured by an independent
final action taken in the Sunshine; in other
words, start over but in the Sunshine.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
h
ELECTED AND APPOINTED GOVERNKENT OFFICIALS
I. Voting conflicts
A. Application - Section 112.3143, governing voting
conflicts of interest applies to all "public
officials" as defined in this Section to include
any person elected or appointed to hold office
in any agency, including any person serving on a
purely advisory body.
B. No county, municipal, or other local public
officer can vote in any official capacity upon any
measure which inures to the officer's "special
private gain" or to the special private gain of
any private entity by whom retained. The public
officer shall publicly state for the record the
nature of his special private gain and why he is
abstaining from the vote and shall within 15 days
after vote disclose the nature of his interest as
a public record with the person recording the
minutes who shall incorporate such memo into the
record.
1. Existence of "special private gain" depends
upon facts. A special private gain ex~sts
if an officer has an ownership interest that
is affected~ has a spouse with an ownership
interest if the spouses co-mingle funds or
one supports the other~ or has a continuing
or ongoing business relationship with some-
one whose interests are affected. If the
matter simply affects friends, fellow church
or club members, or persons with whom the
officer has a past (not ongoing or
continuing) business relationship, no voting
conflict exists.
2. Where the action will affect the officer in
the same way it will affect a group of
similarly situated citizens, the
determination of whether a special gain
exists will depend on the size of the class.
If the class of persons is large, a special
gain will result only if there are
circumstances unique to the officer or
principal under which the officer or
-22-
principal stands to gain more tha~ tht other
members of the class. Where the clasl of
person benefiting from the measure is
extremely small, the possibility of special
gain is much more likely.
3. Procedure to follow if special private gain
problem exists.
a. Prior to the vote, pUblicly explain the
conflict~
b. Abstain from voting~
c. Within 15 days of the vote, document the
disclosure in a written memorandum filed
with the person responsible for
documenting the minutes of the meeting.
c. A public officer barred from voting may
nevertheless participate in the discussion of the
matter provided he first discloses the nature of
his interest in the matter. The disclosure must
be made either verbally or in writing prior to any
participation in the matter or any participation
on the matter is disallowed. If the disclosure is
made verbally, it must be followed up in writing
within 15 days with a written memorandum file~
with the person responsible for documenting the
minutes of the meeting and shall be incorporated
in the official minutes of the meeting later
prepared. If the disclosure is initially made in
writing, the required written memorandum shall
be read into the record regardless of when the
written memorandum is prepared (before
participating in discussion of a matter or
within 15 days after if original disclosure is
oral prior to the discussion). The written
memorandum is a public record and is served upon
each other member of the local legislative.
II. Standards of Conduct for Public Officers and Employees
of Government Agencies
A. Solicitation or acceptance of gifts
1. Section 112.313(2), Florida Statutes,
prohibits the solicitation or acceptance of anything of
value based upon any understanding that the vote, official
-23-
action, or judgment of the public officer or emploYJe would
be influenced thereby.
2. Section 112.313(4), Florida Statutes,
prohibits public officers, employees of agencies, their
spouses or minor children from accepting any compensation,
payment, or thing of value when such pUblic officer or
employee knows, or with the exercise of reasonable care,
should know, that it was given to influence a vote or other
action in which the officer or employee was expected to
participate in his official capacity. This has been ruled
by the Ethics Commission to include expense paid travel by a
company seeking to do business with the agency or requiring
the agency's approval.
3. Sections 112.313(3) and (7) prohibit public
officers or employees from doing business with their agency
or holding certain types of enployment or contractual
relationships. The provisions h~ve generally been broadly
interpreted, and a number of specific exceptions apply.
Public officers and employees who are engaged in businesses
where this question might arise should seek independent
legal advice on the ramifications of Section 112.313.
III. Dual Officeholding
A. Article II, Section 5 of the Florida Constitution
(1968) prohibits any person from holding more thaij one
office in state, county or municipal governments.
B. This prohibition does not preclude public
officeholders from appointment to a local board provided
that the appointment is essentially an assignment of
additional job duties and there is nothing inherently
inconsistent or incompatible in the officer's service on the
board.
IV. Financial Disclosure Requirements
