CHARTER AMENDMENT, ARTICLE 7 ADVERTISING
Miami-Dade County is holding a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to vote on amending the Home Rule Charter, Article 7, to expand allowable advertising within parks. Currently, advertising is permitted only in connection with sponsorship of events or facilities, provided it is compatible with the park and does not unreasonably impair public use or damage the park. The proposed amendment seeks to remove the sponsorship requirement, allowing for more revenue-generating advertising, with all revenue to be used exclusively for the park where it occurs. This initiative is driven by the Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department's need for increased funding. The resolution was introduced on 7/7/2026 and is scheduled for an agenda on 9/1/2026.

LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION
Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners rejected all proposals for the Development of Landfill Gas Conversion Project (RFP No. EVN0019329) for the Department of Solid Waste Management. The rejection was due to all submitted proposals being deemed non-responsive by the County Attorney's Office. The County plans to resolicit, likely focusing only on the South Dade Landfill site due to viability concerns with the North Dade Landfill. The estimated cost for developers to design and build each facility was over $30,000,000. The County will seek market feedback before reissuing the solicitation. Five proposals were received by the October 15, 2025 closing date.
