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.
