BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Consistent with previous years, the City of Miami Beach implements city wide planning efforts
for Memorial Day weekend, which took place from Thursday, May 26, 2022 through to Tuesday,
May 31, 2022. Based on previous data, the City planned for an anticipated influx of visitors and
tourists during the time period that has historically strained City resources. The City's
management team, as well as various City departments, including Parking, Code Compliance,
Public Works, Sanitation, Facilities and Fleet, Fire/Rescue, and the Police Department were
required to work through the weekend across various unconventional shifts, to provide the
required executive level support and oversight.
During Memorial Day Weekend 2022, the City hosted a number of additional permitted events
in addition to the National Salute to America's Heroes Air & Sea Show, which was produced
across a large footprint on Ocean Drive, Lummus Park and the beach front. Historically, the City
has played host to more than 100,000 visitors and spectators across the holiday weekend. As a
result, the City had enhanced staffing across most City departments to ensure continuity in
normal operations,while also ensuring resident and visitor safety and protecting the quality of life
of those who call our City home. Essential City employees and members of the executive team
(including those in Director roles) were expected to work in excess of 12 hours each day
throughout the weekend.

With these working hours, the City partnered with our local hotels to provide lodging to City staff
who otherwise would not have adequate time to get home in between shifts, or whose presence
was essential to ensure quick and effective management of municipal operations and
emergency response procedures.
