A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Terminating, Creating, and Continuing Certain Advisory Committees of the City; Providing for Sunset of the Education/Schools Committee; Providing for an Effective Date. Action: City Clerk Hines read the title, and Mayor Norman S. Edelcup reported noting that he reviewed the City's existing advisory committees and found that the Community Activities and Health Committee duplicates the work of our Cultural and Human Services Department, and that the Traffic and Safety Committee is hampered because the major thoroughfares in the City are State or County roads, as such he is proposing to terminate those two Committees. Additionally he proposes to create a new advisory committee, the Community Awareness Committee. He said he would like to continue the Long Range Planning and Intergovernmental Relations Committee, as well as the Tourism and Development Committee, and the Education/Schools Committee, however, he recommends that we sunset the Education/Schools Committee upon the opening of the new K-8 school since we will then have the PT A Association, and the organization of 501 c3 that is being formed in this City to replace that committee.
