CHARTER AMENDMENT, ARTICLE 7 ADVERTISING

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · resolution

Miami-Dade County is holding a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to allow voters to decide on amending the Home Rule Charter. The proposed amendment would expand allowable advertising within county parks. Currently, advertising is permitted only in connection with event sponsorships, 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, allowing for more revenue-generating advertising, with all generated revenue to be used exclusively for the park where the advertising occurs. This initiative is driven by the Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department's need for funding to support operations and new projects. The resolution requires a two-thirds vote of commissioners present for placement on the ballot, and the amendment itself will be decided by a majority of voters.
