CHARTER AMENDMENT, ARTICLE 7 ADVERTISING

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · 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, which currently has limitations requiring advertising to be in connection with sponsorship of events or facilities. The Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department faces revenue challenges, and expanded advertising is proposed as a revenue-generating measure for the park system, with all generated revenue to be used exclusively for park system needs. The amendment requires a two-thirds vote of commissioners present to be placed on the ballot and a majority of voters to pass. The specific question on the ballot will be whether to amend the Charter to remove the requirement that advertising must be related to sponsorship of events or facilities, provided it does not unreasonably impair public use or damage the park, and revenue is exclusively for the park system.
