Subject: City of Miami Beach Update of Lobbyist Registration Information
Good morning,
On August 3, a letter was mailed to your business address of record requesting updated
compensation amounts for certain issues that you have registered to lobby on with the
City of Miami Beach. Our office has yet to receive a response to the letter. Please be
advised that this information is a requirement of your registration and as such, if the
information is not received then you will be suspended from lobbying the City until your
registration is updated.
Please respond by August 19, 2016 to avoid a suspension status. If you have not
received the letter, please respond and advise so we can provide you with a copy via
email. The information can either be provided by a letter mailed to our office or by
email.
Miami Beach City Code Sec. 2-482(a)(6) states the following must be disclosed: The
terms and amount of compensation to be paid by each principal to the lobbyist with
regard to the specific issue on which the lobbyist has been engaged to lobby.
Thank you,
