HOW THEY VOTED

UDB APPLICATIONS
Miami-Dade commissioners are expected
today to consider Mayor Carlos Alvarez's veto on the applications
to expand the county's Urban Development Boundary. The UDB keeps
urban sprawl from encroaching on the Everglades.
Previously, the county commissioners
had voted on a spate of applications to expand the boundary --
opting to send all of the proposals to the state for further review
rather than kill the plans. In some cases, the commissioners added
a recommendation of denial to applications.
If commissioners override the mayor's
veto and the applications continue through the process, officials
are expected to have a final vote on the applications in April.
