                Janet McAliley made a motion to reject the plan as presented, as it does not comply with the concepts being set forth under the Miami River Corridor Urban Infill Plan.  Cleve Jones seconded the motion and it passed 7 to 3.       

                Also presented at the special meeting of the Economic Development and Commerce Working Group was a proposal by the City of Miami to construct a multi-purpose Community Center in Jose Marti Park.  The Working Group did recommend approval of the community center.  Phil Everingham made a motion to accept plans and construction of new community center in Jose Marti Park.  Sandy ONeil seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

                Dredging Working Group

                Dick Bunnell advised the MRC that the key legal document for the dredging project, the Project Cooperation Agreement (PCA) would go before the Miami-Dade County Transportation, Environment and Infrastructure Committee on May 14 and before the County Commission on May 21.  Dick requested the MRC provide support letters and personal appearances for both the Committee and Commission meetings.  All concurred.
