South Florida Regional Planning Council Says No to Changes in Miami River Marine Protection. By Geniusofdespair

According to Horacio Stuart Aguirre: The South Florida Regional Planning Council voted to accept the recommendations of it's staff and reject the Amendments of the City of Miami with respect to the Miami River. (Me: The City was trying to remove language that encouraged water dependent uses along the river.) The recommendations of the South Florida Planning Council will be sent to the Dept. of Community Affairs in Tallahassee.

On The Council from Miami Dade: Michael Blynn, League of Cities appointment; Dennis Moss, Pepe Diaz and Sally Heyman as appointments of County Commission Chair Bruno Barreiro; Jose Riesco, Mayor's appointment; and Marta Perez, School Board Appointment. There might be one or two others, the rest of the Council is from Broward and Monroe.

Speaking on behalf of the City was Frank Casteneda, from the office of Commissioner Angel Gonzalez.
