GMCVB Destination Management Agreement

Historic Hotel Redevelopment Progress

Residential Towing Reform
Potential reduction in towing fine revenues offset by improved resident satisfaction.

Allocates $250,000 for Miami Beach Pride and $25,000 for the LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce on a one-time basis.
ethics investigation
Ongoing political drama and ethics probes waste valuable city resources and taxpayer money on endless administrative fights.
antisemitism definition adoption
No direct costs here, though better handling of hate crimes could save money on legal battles down the road.
Local Home Rule and Opposition to State Preemption (HB 399)
Potential future legal expenses if litigation is pursued against the state.
office expansion
This $50 million project will likely boost local tax revenues and pump money into the Miami Beach economy.
spring break policy
Local bars, restaurants, and hotels should see a bump in cash flow as more visitors feel welcome to spend money in town.
city management
City funds could end up wasted on legal fees and leadership turnover instead of fixing your neighborhood.
legal settlement
The city gets a nice $3 million cash boost straight to its bottom line.
committee leadership
Doesn't cost taxpayers a dime directly, but poor diversity optics can sometimes hurt local business partnerships and tourism appeal.
free speech lawsuit
Taxpayers are on the hook for mounting legal defense bills as the city fights this constitutional battle in court.
spring break enforcement
Local businesses might take a hit if tourists stay away, but the city saves money on cleaning up property damage.
spring break restrictions
