Moving forward with a referendum was stalled today at the City of Miami. By Geniusofdespair

The City Marina would be run by the other Marina, where there is a bid protest in the works. The City would no longer run the 2nd Marina of racks (at bottom of photo)

Lame Duck Mayor Tomas Regalado wanted a referendum to go forward on the redevelopment of Marinas on Virginia Key. There is currently a bid protest by the current private operator of one of the Marinas.

In any event, the vote needs to be done now in order to get the item on the November Ballot.

Commissioners Gort and Hardemon showed up for the special meeting this morning. Absent were Russell, Carollo and Suarez - no quorum. Should the 3 City Commissioners have come to debate the issue or was it too much of a hot button item for Commissioners facing an election? The meeting is rescheduled for Friday. I expect the same thing will happen.
