Miami Beach Invites Residents to Make Their Voice Heard
— Through a Trial Partnership with CityGrader --
Miami Beach, FL – Encouraging residents to a play a more active role in improving their
community, the City of Miami Beach recently partnered with CityGrader to make it easier
for residents to share their comments, critiques and compliments directly with the City in
a public forum.
“I’m excited to work with CityGrader and add to our growing list of resident tools
including Resident Connect and Right to Know,” explained Commissioner Mark
Samuelian. “If a resident wants to let us know about a tree limb that can become a road
hazard, or pay a compliment to a city employee for going the extra mile for them, they
can easily do so through this platform.”
By receiving reviews and feedback directly from the public, the web-based platform is
dedicated to increasing the quality and accountability of local governments and their
employees – allowing taxpayers to play a meaningful role in making positive change in
the City of Miami Beach.
“We at CityGrader are excited to add the iconic City of Miami Beach as our second
Public Partner,” expressed CityGrader Founder Tony Newell. “We are confident that the
services we offer will only serve to elevate this vibrant and distinctive city, and make it an
even more desirable location for both its residents and worldwide visitors.”
CityGrader can be easily accessed from any smartphone, tablet or computer. Allowing
residents to provide immediate feedback during their visit to City Hall, a temporary kiosk
was installed on the third floor outside of Commission Chambers for individuals to
access. The trial program comes at no cost to the City.
