Official Election Certification of the Canvassing Board - Creation of a
Special Assessment District to be known as the 41 st Street Business
Improvement District.
Attached please find the Official Election Certification of the Canvassing Board for the
Special Mail Ballot Election held in the City of Miami Beach, from June 5, 2023 to June
27, 2023, to determine whether a majority of the affected property owners approve of the
creation of a special assessment district to be known as the 41 st Street Business
Improvement District.
Question:
Shall 41° Street Business Improvement District be created for a term of 10 years,
with estimated annual budget of $195,246, to stabilize and improve properties
abutting West 41° Street/Arthur Godfrey Road, between Alton Road on the west and
Indian Creek Canal on the east, through promotion, management, marketing, and
other similar services, which District shall be funded by special assessments
against benefited properties, with assessments increasing by 5% every two (2)

The number of benefitted properties within the proposed District is 62. A "yes" vote of the
owners of a simple majority (32 votes) of the affected properties is required to approve the
proposed District. A property owner who failed to return an Official Ballot to the Office of
the City Clerk within the allotted timeframe was considered to have voted "no" to the
creation of the District. As a result, the creation of the District has been approved.
A Resolution requesting the City Commission to adopt the Official Election Certificate of
the Canvassing Board will be included via Supplemental Agenda for consideration during
the June 28, 2023 Commission Meeting.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 305.673. 7 411.
