CHARTER AMENDMENT, ARTICLE 7 ADVERTISING

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · resolution

Miami-Dade County is holding a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, coinciding with the General Election, to allow voters to decide on amending the Home Rule Charter. The proposed amendment aims to expand allowable advertising within county parks. Currently, advertising is permitted only in connection with event sponsorship, provided it is compatible with the park and does not unreasonably impair public use or damage the park. The amendment seeks to remove the sponsorship requirement, potentially generating revenue for the Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department (PROS) to support its operations and fund new projects, with all generated revenue to be used exclusively for the park where the advertising occurs. This measure requires a two-thirds vote of commissioners present for placement on the ballot and a majority of voters to pass. The resolution was introduced on July 7, 2026, amended on July 13, 2026, and is scheduled for an agenda date of September 1, 2026.
