MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Hans Ottinot, City Attorney
DATE: September 21, 2017
RE: Ordinance amending Section 172-5 of the City Code
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the proposed Ordinance amending Section
172-5 of the City Code pertaining to Charitable Donations.
REASONS
The City Commission has made a commitment to support charitable organizations which provide
services to the residents of the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Section C-7.6 of the City Charter, as
well as Section 172-5 of the City Code, require the affirmative votes of at least four (4)
members of the City Commission at a public meeting to approve charitable contributions to any
person or entity.
During the aftermath of natural disasters like Hurricane Irma, the City Manager must have
flexibility to financially assist local charities which are generally providing shelter, food and
other assistance to seniors and others. The City Commission wishes to amend Section 172-5 of
the City Code to authorize the City Manager to make charitable contributions up to $5,000.00 to
local non-profit organizations. The City Commission also wishes to amend Section 172-5 of the
City Code to authorize the City Manager to make a memorial contribution of up to $500.00 in
the event of death of an employee or City Official.
