ANALYSIS
Similar to the prior fifteen (15)years, the Ocean Drive Association(ODA)approached the City to request
participation and sponsorship of a free fireworks show on the beach east of Lummus Park at midnight on
New Year's Eve. The City has partnered with Ocean Drive Association to share in the expenses related
to the closure and fireworks for New Year's Eve, which has ranged from two (2) days to four (4) days
depending on if the holiday occurs on a weekend or weekday.
New Year's Eve occurs on a Saturday this year and early indication is that hotel occupancy will be very
strong as many visitors will take advantage of the long holiday weekend. Therefore, the Ocean Drive
Association has requested the closure of Ocean Drive to vehicular traffic from 5 to 14 Streets, beginning
the morning of Friday, December 30, 2016 at 7:00 a.m., reopening on Monday, January 2, 2017 at 7:00
a.m. Of the costs and resources specifically directed towards the Ocean Drive road closure and
fireworks, the City has agreed to share in 47% of the costs to Ocean Drive Association's 53% of the
costs for two days of closure, with Ocean Drive Association fully responsible for the full costs of the third
day. Ocean Drive has further requested an enhancement to the fireworks program, at an additional
expense of$16,000.00, which the City suggests should be the full responsibility of Ocean Drive.
In addition to closing Ocean Drive, approved sidewalk cafes participating in the Ocean Drive
Association's New Year's Eve event will be allowed to expand their cafes onto the southbound lane of

of plans to Public Works for approval. Café expansion uses may include food and bar service, but may
not include entertainment elements. The Ocean Drive Association has requested participating cafes be
allowed to sell liquor within their café areas beyond the 2:00 a.m. required cut-off, in order to match the
requested 7:00 a.m. extension of 5:00 a.m. liquor licenses on Sunday, January 1, 2017 only.

allocated for the weekend.
NEW YEAR'S EVE ENHANCED STAFFING
Enhanced staffing levels for Police, Fire, Parking, Sanitation and Code Compliance are provided during
the New Year's Eve weekend in the entertainment district. The Police Department has significant
enhanced staffing throughout the weekend on foot patrols, bicycle patrols and ATV patrols throughout
the Entertainment District, as well as undercover Crime Suppression Team officers. The Police
Department also conducts DUI Saturation Patrols throughout the weekend.
The City will also continue enforcement of our current laws and regulations with respect to open
containers and public consumption of alcoholic beverages, in order to ensure that residents and visitors
have a safe and enjoyable experience in Miami Beach. A letter will be sent to businesses reminding
them of the City's laws and asking for their assistance in curbing public consumption of alcohol. The
City's goal is to work in partnership with our businesses to curtail the public consumption of alcoholic
beverages throughout our city, which sometimes results in negative and unwanted behavior. Various
collateral materials have been developed by the City and have been offered to businesses (free of
charge)to help in educating the public about our laws.
Traffic&Parking Restrictions
Ocean Drive (5 to 14 streets) will be restricted to pedestrians only (no vehicles) from
Friday, December 30 at 7:00 a.m. through Monday, January 2, 2016 at 7:00 a.m. in
anticipation of large crowds during the holiday.
