CITY OF HALLANDALE BEACH
MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 22, 2008
TO: D. Mike Good, City Manager
FROM: David Jove, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Ordinance Repealing Police Officers’ and Firefighters’ Board of Trustees and Enacting a New Section 2-40 of the Code Pertaining to Same
CAD #002/07
______________________________________________________________________
PURPOSE:
To adopt an Ordinance on Second Reading enacting section 2-40 to provide for the appointment of two city commissioners to the City’s Police Officers’ and Firefighters’ Board of Trustees (the “Pension Board of Trustees”).
BACKGROUND:
An Ordinance amending Section 2-40 of the City’s Code of Ordinances in order to provide for two City Commissioners to serve as members of the Pension Board of Trustees in an ex-officio capacity was adopted on First Reading on June 4, 2008.
On June 18, 2008, the Ordinance did not receive three affirmative votes and failed on Second Reading. In accordance with Resolution No. 2006-42, which sets procedures for Commission meetings, any member of the Commission may move for reconsideration of a matter within a reasonable time. Accordingly, at the August 20, 2008 meeting, Commissioner Schiller moved for reconsideration for the September 3, 2008 meeting and the Commission so voted. Accordingly, the Ordinance has been placed on the agenda for reconsideration on Second Reading.
In order to avoid duplication in the City’s Code, the Pension Ordinance 2008-3, providing for two City Commissioners to serve as members of the Pension Board of Trustees, shall also be repealed in the Ordinance enacting Section 2-40.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Commission adopt the Ordinance on Second Reading.
