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 sponsorship and must be compatible with the park. The amendment seeks to remove this sponsorship requirement, allowing for more revenue-generating advertising, provided it does not unreasonably impair public use or damage the park. All revenue generated would be exclusively for the park where the advertising occurs. This initiative is driven by the Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department's need for revenue to support operations and fund new projects and programs. The resolution requires a two-thirds vote of commissioners present for placement on the ballot, and a majority of voters to approve the amendment.
