LOBBYIST NAME: Ralph Choeff
I understand that no later than February 28 of each year, I must file the following form,
pursuant to Section 2-485 of the Miami Beach City Code, with the City Clerk's Office for all
active lobbying issues.
1) LOBBYIST EXPENDITURE AND COMPENSATION FORM
Failure to file these forms on a timely basis will result in my name being transmitted to the
Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and for code violation evaluation.
In addition, once an issue I have registered to lobby on has been resolved, or I am no longer
lobbying on that issue or for that principal, I am required to immediately notify the City Clerk's
Office of lobbyist withdrawal in writing.
Pursuant to Section 2-485 (d), the City Clerk shall notify any lobbyist (or principal) who
fails to timely file a Statement and in addition to any other penalties which may be
imposed as provided in Section 2-485.1, a fine of $50.00 a day shall be assessed for all
Statement(s) filed after the due date. The City Clerk shall notify the Miami-Dade
County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust of the failure of a lobbyist (or principal)
to file the Statement or pay the assessed fines after notification.
Any lobbyist, who fails to file the required Statement by April 30th, 2012, shall be
automatically suspended from lobbying until all fines are paid, unless the fine has been
appealed to the Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust.
