CHARTER AMENDMENT, ARTICLE 7 ADVERTISING
Resolution calling a countywide special election in Miami-Dade County, Florida, to be held in conjunction with the General Election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, to submit to electors the question of whether to amend the Home Rule Charter to expand allowable advertising within parks. The amendment would remove the requirement that advertising in parks must be related to sponsorship of events or facilities, provided such advertising does not unreasonably impair public use or damage the park, and any revenue generated be for the exclusive use of the park system. The resolution was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on 7/21/2026. The Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department (PROS) faces challenges generating revenue to support operations, and expanded advertising could alleviate budgetary constraints without raising taxes. The resolution was introduced on 7/14/2026, and the Policy Council forwarded it to the BCC with a favorable recommendation with committee amendment(s) on 7/13/2026. The County Attorney was assigned on 7/14/2026. The file number is 261314, reference R-685-26. The prime sponsor is Anthony Rodriguez. The vote required is two-thirds of commissioners present. The ballot question will appear in the form: 'Shall the Charter be amended to expand permissible advertising in parks subject to Article 7 of the Charter by removing the requirement that advertising in those parks must be related to sponsorship of events or facilities in the parks, provided that such advertising does not unreasonably impair the public use of the park or damage the park and any revenue generated be for the exclusive use of the park system?'

CHARTER AMENDMENT, ARTICLE 7 ADVERTISING
Miami-Dade County is proposing a Charter Amendment to expand allowable advertising within parks. This legislative item, File Number 261314, calls for a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to be held in conjunction with the General Election. The purpose is to allow voters to decide whether to amend the Home Rule Charter, specifically Article 7, to permit more revenue-generating advertising in parks, beyond the current restrictions that limit advertising to sponsorship of events or facilities. The Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department faces funding challenges, and expanded advertising is seen as a way to generate revenue for park operations without raising taxes. The proposed amendment requires a two-thirds vote of commissioners present for placement on the ballot and a majority of electors voting for passage. The final action is pending BCC assignment.

Miami-Dade County is proposing a Charter Amendment to expand allowable advertising within parks. This legislative matter, File Number 261314, is scheduled for a countywide special election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, to be held in conjunction with the General Election. The amendment aims to allow for more revenue-generating advertising in parks, which are currently facing funding challenges. The current charter limits advertising to that associated 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 broader advertising opportunities, with all generated revenue to be exclusively used for the park system. A two-thirds vote of commissioners present is required to place the issue on the ballot, and a majority of electors voting will determine the outcome. The Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department (PROS) is identified as facing challenges with generating revenue to support its operations and initiating new projects and programs.
