Pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Miami Beach Charter, a review of the Charter shall occur every ten years. The Ad Hoc Advisory Charter Review and Revision Board (Charter Review Committee) has been formed to review the City Charter, seek public input thereon, and eventually present its recommendations to the Miami Beach City Commission.

The Charter Review Committee has been convened by the City Commission to comprehensively review the City’s current charter and to recommend changes to ensure that Miami Beach’s government meets the needs of our residents and is responsive to the challenges of today and beyond. The Charter Review Committee is composed of 7 members who reflect the diversity of the City of Miami Beach.

The Committee will review the current Charter, hold community forums, and gather input from stakeholders and residents. The Charter Review Committee will recommend changes they believe will improve and modernize Miami Beach’s structure and governance to the City Commission. Any recommendations the City Commission accepts will be put before voters in an election before adoption. The Committee began meeting in February 2023 and is expected to take up to one year to complete its work.

The Committee will meet approximately twice a month. All the meetings are open to the public. There will be numerous avenues and opportunities for public comment during the course of the Charter Review Committee's work. These avenues will include but are not limited to online submissions, public comment after Committee meetings, and community forum events. If you have any questions about the Committee, their work, or their process, please feel free to contact the Committee directly at: CharterReview@miamibeachfl.gov

The Charter Review Committee invites you to share your proposed suggestions as to how the Miami Beach City Charter may need to be revised at an upcoming Charter Review Committee meeting. If you would like to sign up to address the Charter Review Committee, please email your request and the topic of discussion to CharterReview@miamibeachfl.gov.
