LTC # 343-2023 LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Honorable Mayor Dan Gelber and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Alina T. Hudak, City Manager��
DATE: August1,2023
SUBJECT: COMMISSION CHAMBERS RENOVATION PROJECT UPDATE
The purpose of this Letter to Commission (L TC) is to update the Mayor and City
Commission on the status of the Commission Chambers remodeling project, as previously
advised via L TC# 288-2023.
As reported on June 26, 2023, the Commission Chamber renovation project is on a 120-
day schedule, tentatively slated from July 28, 2023 through November 28, 2023. The
remodel will affect both the third and fourth floor portions of the Commission Chambers at
City Hall, renovating a combined total area of approximately 4,025 square feet.
During the construction period, nearly all City Commission, Board, Committee and
Land Use meetings will be hosted at a Temporary Commission Chamber at the
Miami Beach Convention Center {MBCC), located at 1901 Convention Center Drive,
Meeting Rooms 222-225, on the second floor. A handful of meetings in November will
be held at the New World Center (500 17 Street). Below is a detailed schedule of the
relocated meetings.
Beyond attending meetings in-person, residents, businesses and stakeholders can
continue to watch these meetings live on the City's Facebook page, You Tube page and
via the Zoom link for each meeting. Viewers can also continue participating via Zoom. As part of the renovation, our government-access cable television station MBTV
will be offline along with the City website stream.
Please find additional details pursuant to the meeting relocations below.
Directions to the Temporary Commission Chambers
Please enter the MBCC via Convention Center Drive. Meeting Rooms 222-225 are
