AGUILA, CITY ATTORNEY COMMISSION MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the City Commission City Manager Jimmy Morales FROM: Raul J. Aguila, City Attorney : f' DATE: July 13, 2016 SECOND READING — PUBLIC HEARING SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING MIAMI BEACH CITY CODE CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE VII, DIVISION 3, ENTITLED "LOBBYISTS," SECTION 2-482(a)(4) THEREOF, BY REQUIRING A LOBBYIST WHO HAS WITHIN THE PAST ELECTION CYCLE PROVIDED CAMPAIGN CONSULTING SERVICES TO AN INCUMBENT MEMBER OF THE CITY COMMISSION TO DISCLOSE SUCH PARTICULAR SERVICE ON HIS/HER LOBBYIST REGISTRATION FORM AND TO DISCLOSE SUCH PARTICULAR SERVICE ORALLY BEFORE LOBBYING THE CITY COMMISSION AT A PUBLIC MEETING, PROVIDING DEFINITIONS; AND PROVIDING FOR REPEALER, SEVERABILITY, CODIFICATION, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Pursuant to the request of Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez, the attached Ordinance has been drafted for the purpose of amending the City's ethics code to require lobbyists who have within the past election cycle provided campaign consulting services to an incumbent member of the City Commission to disclose such particular service on his/her lobbyist registration form. Although existing City Code section 2-482(a)(4) requires lobbyists to disclose in their registration "the general nature" of contractual relationships held with City personnel to be lobbied, this proposed measure will ensure greater transparency by requiring lobbyists to additionally provide specific disclosure of their contractual provision of campaign consulting services to incumbent members of the City Commission. At First Reading, an additional amendment was approved by the City Commission to require the above-referenced lobbyists to also orally disclose the specified campaign consulting services before lobbying the City Commission at a public meeting. Inasmuch as the United States Supreme Court has acknowledged that "[t]he activities of lobbyists who have direct access to elected representatives, if undisclosed, may well present the appearance of corruption,"1 it is believed that this legislation supports the City's governmental interest in serving to enhance public confidence in the electoral and municipal processes of the City of Miami Beach.
