COMMISSION
PROPOSED

Considering plans for a new
county government, the Metro
politan Miami Municipal Board
and the Metropolitan Charter,
Board held a joint meeting and
recommended a strong l1-man
commission headed by a chair

of his colleagues.
Perrine Palmer, former Miami
mayor and city commissioner, sug-
gested that the elected chairman
be given final administrative re-
SponSibility.
If a county manager is need
ed, Palmer said, he should be
named by the commission chair
man and be responsible to him.
Palmer's proposal was support
ed by former Miami mayor Chel-
sic Senerchia, who also served as
city manager. -
Palmer proposed that two count
ty commissioners be elected from

mission districts, while the chair
man would be elected from the
entire county. 4oiteL< .'on
