What were your contributions to the Board(s) or Committee(s)?
As a member of the Miami Beach Personnel Board, we created the City’s first employee
“peoples choice award” to honor hard working City employees and provide an opportunity
for residents citywide to participate.
This year’s Planning Board agendas were filled with issues relevant to all residents of
Miami Beach, but I’m most proud of the work we completed on the massive North Beach
Town Center zoning ordinance. Thanks to the work of so many, North Beach residents
have much to look forward to. I’m pleased to have played a small part in building a better
North Beach.
Why are you interested in serving on the City Commission?
I'd like to continue my work on behalf of residents and stakeholders, as we face substantial
challenges including protecting our beaches and water quality, sea level rise, affordable
housing, public safety and security, transportation and mobility. I believe I can add
significant value because of my experience with our City government and issues, through
my involvement with the South of Fifth Neighborhood Association, Miami Beach United,
and now as a member of our Planning Board. Additionally, I believe that my unique
leadership approach, which includes listening, learning and bringing folks together, is
always needed.
How does your education and/or experience complement the powers and duties of
the City Commission?
1) I’ll hit the ground running. I’m a member of the Miami Beach Planning Board. This year,
we’ve tackled a host of important citywide issues. Hours of preparation for Planning Board
agenda items, including site visits, research and face-to-face meetings with City staff and
stakeholders provide a foundation of knowledge and ensure that I’ll be effective on day one
– January 24, 2019.
2) A proven track record in community service as Board Member and President of two
important resident organizations in Miami Beach. Also, South of Fifth Neighborhood
Association Board members are elected (I was elected 2 times), helping to make sure that
resident’s voices are heard and concerns addressed. Together with a great team of engaged
residents, we made a real impact in the South of Fifth neighborhood.
3) As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I would look for opportunities to bring
best business practices to City government (efficiency, innovation, planning, feedback,
discipline).

Dear Mayor Gelber, Commissioners, City Manager, City Attorney and City Clerk,
I respectfully submit my name for consideration to fill the City of Miami Beach Commission
vacancy in Group IV. I'm excited to apply for this important position, which will allow me
to serve the City using my extensive business management experience and strong
background working with residents, multiple City stakeholders, City staff and elected
officials.
If selected for the City Commission Group IV vacancy, I offer and would contribute:

We’re fortunate to live in Miami Beach. When I meet new friends traveling, the question
inevitably comes up – Where do you live? Their enthusiastic reaction to “Miami Beach” is
great fun; it never gets old. I love to say, “I live in a giant park by the ocean!”
I would appreciate the opportunity to serve and contribute to progress and good
government in Miami Beach. I look forward to meeting with you at your convenience and
answering your questions over the next few weeks.
Happy New Year and thanks for all that you do.
Sincerely,
Mike Barrineau
