CHARTER AMENDMENT, ARTICLE 7 ADVERTISING

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Resolution adopted by the Miami-Dade County Commission calling a countywide special election to be held in conjunction with the General Election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, for the purpose of submitting to voters the question of whether to amend the Home Rule Charter to expand allowable advertising within parks. The amendment would remove the requirement that advertising in parks must be related to sponsorship of events or facilities, provided such advertising does not unreasonably impair public use or damage the park, and any revenue generated be for the exclusive use of the park system. The resolution was introduced on 7/14/2026, amended by the Policy Council on 7/13/2026, and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on 7/21/2026. The prime sponsor is Anthony Rodriguez. The file number is 261314, reference R-685-26. The resolution requires a two-thirds vote of commissioners present. The Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department (PROS) faces challenges generating revenue to support operations, and expanded advertising could alleviate budgetary constraints without raising taxes. The document does not state any specific project site, address, parcel, acreage, or dollar amount.
