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, Article 7, to expand allowable advertising within county 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 aims 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 challenges in generating revenue to support its operations and fund new projects and programs. 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 electors voting.
