MESSAGE FROM COMMISSIONER ALEX FERNANDEZ:
​My ordinance to make Disorderly Conduct and Breach of Peace a municipal crime passed at first reading last week. Upon final adoption this will help us prosecute some of the crimes affecting quality of life along the Beachwalk. 

Also, our staff at Property Management is already working on my directive to retrofit the coral caps along the walls of the beach entrances and Beachwalk. The purpose of retrofitting the coral caps is that they should not be conducive for sleeping…

The commission also approved my funding request for the expanded homeless services. Now there will be outreach to the homeless during the hours of 7 pm to 3 am. As you know, the city was not providing outreach at night when our homeless might be more likely to accept services. 

Lastly, I’m working on legislation to clearly define the permissible activities allowed at the Beach Entrances. I want to make sure that it is clearly defined that Beach Entrances are transitory entry and exit points, and not places to hangout all day and night. 
STAY INFORMED with what's happening in your City!

NOISE ORDINANCE
The MBNA is in full support of enforcement of the City’s noise ordinance emanating not only from vehicles, but also from vessels.  Immediate issuance of a notice of violation to persons choosing to disregard this ordinance will hopefully be the deterrent needed to stop the conduct that disturbs the right to peaceful enjoyment that all Miami Beach residents deserve.  Thank you Commissioners Samuelian and Meiner for bringing the enforcement of this Ordinance to the forefront. 
MBNA wants speed zones for boaters on Indian Creek ​to be enforced.
