BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Consistent with previous years, the City of Miami Beach implements city wide planning efforts for Memorial Day weekend, which will
take place from Thursday, May 25 through to Tuesday, May 30, 2023. Based on previous data, the City is planning for an influx of
visitors and tourists during the time period, with an anticipated 100,000+ visitors and spectators across the holiday weekend, which
has historically strained City resources. The City's management team, as well as various City departments, including Parking, Code
Compliance, Public Works, Sanitation„Facilities and Fleet, Fire/Rescue, and the Police Department are required to work through the
weekend across various unconventional shifts, to provide the required executive level supportand.oversight.
During Memorial Day Weekend 2023, the City will host the National Salute to America's Heroes Air & Sea Show, which is being
produced across a large footprint on Ocean Drive, Lummus Park and the beach front. As a result, the City has enhanced staffing
across most City departments to ensure continuity in normal operations, while also ensuring resident and visitor safety and'protecting
the quality of life of our residents. Essential City employees and members of the executive team (including those in Director roles) are
being expected to work in excess of 12 hours each day and night throughout the weekend.
With these working hours, the City is partnering with local hotels to provide lodging to City staff who otherwise would not have adequate time
to get home in between shifts, or whose presence was essential to ensure quick and effective management of municipal operations and
emergency response procedures.
