OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
JOSE SMITH, CITY ATTORNEY COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: MAYOR MATTI HERRERA BOWER
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COMMISSION
CITY MANAGER JIMMY MORALES
FROM: JOSE SMIT
CITY AT NEY
DATE: NOVEMBER 12, 2013
SUBJECT: RESOLUTIONS REGARDING CITY OF MIAMI BEACH GENERAL ELECTION
RESULTS AND CALLING RUN-OFF ELECTION
The attached Resolutions formally adopt the certificate of results of the City of Miami Beach
November 5, 2013 General Election, and call for the City of Miami Beach November 19, 2013 Run-Off
Election, made necessary as a result of no candidate for Commission Groups I, II, and III from the
General Election having received a majority of votes cast. Accordingly, and pursuant to Miami Beach
City Charter Section 2.01, a Run-Off Election shall be called for November 19, 2013 between the two
candidates for Commission Groups I, II, and III receiving the highest number of votes in the General
Election.
In addition, prior to the canvassing of provisional ballots, the unofficial returns for the General
Election reflect that a candidate for the office of the Mayor may be defeated or eliminated by one-half of
a percent or less of the votes cast for such office. Provisional ballots will be counted on Friday,
November 8, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. If, after counting the provisional ballots, the differential is still one-half
of a percent or less of all votes cast for such office, then a mandatory machine recount shall be
conducted by the Miami-Dade County Elections Department at 1:00 p.m. If a run-off election for Mayor
is needed, the Resolution calling for the November 19, 2013 Run-Off Election shall be amended
accordingly to also call for a run-off election for Mayor.
The Run-Off Election results for Commission Groups I, II, and III, and if needed for the Mayor,
will be adopted by the Miami Beach City Commission on November 25, 2013, followed by the swearing
in of all newly-elected officials.
