COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Eric Carpenter, City Manager
DATE: May 20, 2026 2:00 p.m. Public Hearing
TITLE: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE
GENERAL FUND, ENTERPRISE FUNDS, INTERNAL SERVICE FUNDS, AND
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS BUDGETS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026 AS SET FORTH
IN THIS RESOLUTION AND IN THE ATTACHED EXHIBIT "A."
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the attached
Resolution.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The budgets for the General Fund, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Special
Revenue Funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 were adopted by the Mayor and City Commission on
September 30, 2025, through Resolution No. 2025-33945.
The First Amendment to the General Fund, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Special
Revenue Funds budgets for FY 2026 was adopted by the Mayor and City Commission on
November 20, 2025, through Resolution No. 2025-33954.
The Second Amendment to the General Fund, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and
Special Revenue Funds budgets for FY 2026 was adopted by the Mayor and City Commission
on February 5, 2026, through Resolution No. 2026-34113.
The Third Amendment to the General Fund, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and
Special Revenue Funds budgets for FY 2026 was adopted by the Mayor and City Commission
on February 25, 2026, through Resolution No. 2026-34147.
ANALYSIS
GENERALFUND
Replacement of Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Devices
A Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) is a critical respiratory protection device that
provides firefighters with a portable supply of compressed breathing air, allowing them to operate
safely in smoke -filled, toxic, and/or oxygen -deficient environments. SCBAs, which have a service
life of approximately 15 years, enable personnel to perform interior firefighting, search and rescue,
and other operations in Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) atmospheres.
862 of 1709
The Miami Beach Fire Department's current SCBA devices, which were purchased in 2010, have
reached the end of their service life. Based on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
1970 standard, SCBAs and related protective elements are required to meet updated compliance
requirements.
The Fire Department has been setting aside funding annually for the replacement of the SCBAs.
As of the current fiscal year, $980,000 is allocated in the Fire Department's FY 2026 General
Fund budget for the replacement of these devices. Based on the most recent pricing received
(130 devices), the cost for replacement has increased significantly to approximately $1.7 million.
In order to fully fund the replacement of these critical devices, this proposed budget amendment
is to appropriate $720,000 in the Fire Department's FY 2026 General Fund budget to be
reimbursed from the Fire Department's Training and Technology Funds. The funding that is
available in the Fire Department's Training and Technology Fund, which is approximately $3.7
million as of September 30, 2025, is derived from a surcharge that is added to building, electrical,
mechanical, plumbing, and demolition permits for training, education, and safety of the Fire
Department employees, and to procure and implement the latest technologies available for
enhancement of services that are provided by the Fire Department pursuant to Ordinance No.
2015-3980, which was adopted by the Mayor and City Commission on December 9, 2015.
Replacement of Fire Structural Firefighting Gear Due to Chemical Hazards
Structural firefighting gear is the specialized protective ensemble that is worn by firefighters during
interior structural fire operations. It is designed to provide thermal protection, flame resistance,
physical durability, and limited chemical and moisture protection, enabling firefighters to safely
operate in Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) environments.
The Miami Beach Fire Department's current inventory of structural firefighting gear (240 sets) has
been identified as containing carcinogenic substances, including chemicals historically used in
moisture barriers and protective textiles. Florida House Bill 929 that was signed into law in June
2025 requires fire departments to procure turnout gear that does not contain chemical hazards or
toxic substances once such gear becomes commercially available.
In alignment with these regulations, and the commercial availability of the new gear, the
department must replace its existing gear. As a result, this proposed budget amendment is to
appropriate $1,650,000 in the Fire Department's FY 2026 General Fund budget to replace 240
sets of gear that will be reimbursed from the Fire Department's Training and Technology Funds.
The funding that is available in the Fire Department's Training and Technology Fund, which is
approximately $3.7 million as of September 30, 2025, is derived from a surcharge that is added
to building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and demolition permits for training, education, and
safety of the Fire Department employees, and to procure and implement the latest technologies
available for enhancement of services that are provided by the Fire Department pursuant to
Ordinance No. 2015-3980 that was adopted by the Mayor and City Commission on December 9,
2015.
2025 Official General and Run -Off Elections
The cost of the 2025 Official General and Run -Off Elections, as invoiced by the Miami -Dade Office
of the Supervisor of Elections, was substantially higher than the original estimates based on prior
years. Following discussions with the Office of the Supervisor of Elections, the Office of the City
Clerk was advised that the increased cost was driven primarily by the expansion of Early Voting
locations for Run -Off Elections from two to four sites, pursuant to City Commission direction, as
well as significantly higher voter turnout in 2025 compared to previous election cycles, particularly
during Early Voting. Overall turnout increased from 29.9% in 2023 to 36.2% in 2025.
863 of 1709
The current FY 2026 General Fund budget does not contain sufficient funding to cover the full
cost of the 2025 elections. Accordingly, this proposed budget amendment is to allocate $275,000
to the FY 2026 Citywide Accounts budget for elections, drawn from the City's General Fund
reserves, to fully fund the expenses billed by the Miami -Dade Office of the Supervisor of Elections.
It is also important to note that an increase in the cost of the 2026 elections is also anticipated,
reflecting the higher cost structure observed in 2025. As a result, an additional $392,000 in
projected costs is being incorporated into the preliminary FY 2027 General Fund budget.
RESORT TAX
2026 FIFA World Cup: Purchase and Installation of Participating Nations' Flags
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be one of the largest international sporting events ever hosted in
the United States. The City of Miami Beach anticipates significant international tourism associated
with the tournament and seeks to celebrate the global spirit of the event while welcoming visitors
and the participating nations. The increased tourism activity is anticipated to result in higher hotel
occupancy rates, boost restaurant and shop patronage, and enhance other visitor spending that
supports the City and the local economy.
The Mayor and City Commission desire to create a visually vibrant and welcoming display
recognizing the forty-eight (48) countries participating in the tournament through the installation
of their national flags in Lummus Park. At the March 18, 2026 City Commission meeting, the
Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2026-34199 directing the City Administration
to amend the FY 2026 budget in order to identify funding in an amount not to exceed $15,000 for
the purchase and installation of the forty-eight (48) flags in proximity to the Miami Beach "Block
Lettered" sign.
This proposed budget amendment is to, therefore, appropriate $15,000 in the FY 2026 Resort
Tax budget from the City's Resort Tax reserves for the purchase and installation of forty-eight
(48) flags representing the countries participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as approved by
the Mayor and City Commission on March 18, 2026.
