Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez, four senior officials and their spouses are on a trip to Europe this week, and the itinerary includes tours of foreign ports and a meeting with management of the Real Madrid soccer franchise in Spain.
Gimenez said in an internal memo he would be out of the office for 13 days, relinquishing day-to-day authority in county affairs to Deputy Mayor Maurice Kemp through Wednesday, Jan. 16.
The nine-day itinerary for the county-funded trip shows the last stop scheduled for Friday, Jan. 11. That’s when Gimenez, port director Juan Kuryla and the rest of the small delegation plan to attend a signing ceremony in Geneva for a deal negotiated with the Swiss-based MSC cruise and cargo line, which has ships at the county port in Miami and wants to expand operations there.
