FROM: Sergio Rodriguez
City Manager
SUBJECT: AN ORDIN' E OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH,FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 86 OF THE
MIAMI BEACH CITY CODE, ENTITLED "SALES," BY AMENDING
ARTICLE II ENTITLED "GARAGE SALES," BY AMENDING SECTION
86-56(F), TO MODIFY THE REQUIREMENTS FOR GARAGE SALE
PERMIT REQUESTS TO PROVIDE FOR IMMEDIATE APPROVAL OR
DENIAL OF SAID REQUESTS; PROVIDING FOR REPEALER,
SEVERABILITY, CODIFICATION,AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Miami Beach Licensing Section issues approximately 200 Garage Sale Permits each
year. Many times applications have to be denied due to the fact that the current code requires that
applications be made at least seven days in advance and that the permit be mailed to the applicant.
The Ordinance was approved on first reading by the City Commission on July 7, 1999.
ANALYSIS:
Automation and streamlining of various procedures now enable applications to be reviewed and
processed in a more expeditious manner. The Licensing Section has the capacity to process the
application during normal business hours Monday through Friday,and notify the proper departments
as late as 3 P.M. of the day prior to the date of the sale. The applicant can be issued the permit
immediately after the application is reviewed and processed. In the interest of becoming more "user
friendly" to the citizens of Miami Beach we recommend that applications can be made anytime up
to 3 P.M. of the day prior to the sale date. Furthermore, the permit can be issued right on the spot
rather than mailing it to the applicant.
CONCLUSION
The City Commission should adopt the Ordinance in order to provide better service to its citizens.
