IMPACT EVENT PERIODS.
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach (the "City") is an internationally renowned
tourist destination that is famous for its beautiful beaches, world-class shopping,
entertainment, fine dining, and vast array of artistic and cultural events; and
WHEREAS, in recent years, the City has seen an increasingly large number of
visitors during the Spring Break period, which has posed significant challenges including,
but not limited to, extreme traffic and congestion, and severe impacts to the City's Police,
Fire, Sanitation, and Code Compliance services; and
WHEREAS, many of the visitors to the City during high impact periods, such as
Spring Break, are under the influence of alcoholic beverages and have demonstrated a
blatant disregard for the rule of law; and
WHEREAS, in 2021, unruly crowd control issues during Spring Break resulted in
the imposition of emergency measures, including an 8:00 pm. curfew in the area between
5th Street and 16th Street, from Pennsylvania Avenue to Ocean Drive; and
WHEREAS, in March 2022, the City also experienced massive crowds and several
shootings in a concentrated tourist area over a period of a few days, resulting in the
declaration of a state of emergency and imposition of a weekend midnight curfew for the
last weekend of March, 2022, based upon the excessively large crowds and violence
occurring on the second and third weekend of March, 2022; and
WHEREAS, such 2022 incidents included the shooting of 5 different innocent
pedestrians and created stampedes and mayhem in the public streets and rights-of-way;
and
WHEREAS, also in 2022, the Police Department and its law enforcement partners
impounded one-hundred (100) firearms from February 18, 2022 — March 21, 2022, with
approximately thirty-seven (37) of such firearms having been impounded during the third
weekend in March spanning March 18 —20; and
WHEREAS, in March 2023, the City experienced multiple fights, shootings, and
various other incidents and police calls for service—for example, for the period between
February 27, 2023 and March 18, 2023, there were four (4) aggravated assault arrests,
three (3) aggravated battery arrests, seven (7) robbery arrests, twenty (20) arrests for
carrying a concealed firearm, thirty-seven (37)felony drug arrests, twelve (12) arrests for
battery on a law enforcement officer, and eighty-two (82) arrests for other felonies; and
WHEREAS, in addition,.the Police Department and its law enforcement partners
impounded over seventy (70) firearms from February 27, 2023 — March 19, 2023; and
WHEREAS, such March 2023 incidents included two (2) shootings that occurred
the weekend of March 17th, which resulted in two (2) fatalities and injuries to others, and
which also created stampedes that caused injuries to several people, including two (2)
volunteer goodwill ambassadors, and all of which posed a danger to public safety and
order in the public streets and rights-of-way; and
WHEREAS, in response to each of the two (2)deadly shootings, officers were able
to arrive on the scene within a matter of seconds, but nevertheless were unable to prevent
the shootings (and were, themselves, endangered by their close proximity to the
shootings); and
WHEREAS, despite the vast and highly-visible police presence in the City, criminal
activity continues; and
WHEREAS, there is a clear pattern of unreasonably large and uncontrollably
unruly crowds, general mayhem, and violence(including deadly violence)that takes place
in the City during every recent Spring Break season, concentrated in the same area over
the course of two weekends each year; and
WHEREAS, the strain on City resources, particularly law enforcement and
administrative resources, has reached unsustainable levels for the City of Miami Beach;
and
WHEREAS, the safety and well-being of residents and visitors alike should be of
paramount importance to the City and the County alike, and it is imperative that all
necessary measures be taken to ensure public safety during this period; and
WHEREAS, the public safety and resident quality-of-life challenges presented
during the month of March are a regional problem, not limited to the City of Miami Beach;
therefore, a multi-jurisdictional response to these challenges is both necessary and
appropriate; and
2
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach requests that the Miami-Dade County Board
of County Commissioners (the "County") provide mutual aid assistance to the City Of
Miami Beach in connection with the City's March, 2024 Spring Break crowd control efforts,
including,without limitation, deployment of Miami-Dade Police Department personnel and
any other available resources, such as goodwill ambassadors and volunteers; and
WHEREAS, in addition to public safety issues requiring a regional response from
Miami-Dade County, Miami-Beach residents' ability to traverse between the City and the
mainland is significantly impacted by Spring Break traffic during the month of March,
causing considerable disruptions for Miami.Beach residents; and
• WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach has requested Miami-Dade County approval
to limit traffic on the Venetian Causeway to Miami-Beach residents for the period of March
2024, in order to mitigate traffic impacts for City residents; however, to date, the County
has declined to approve the City's request; and
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach implores Miami-Dade County to reconsider
its denial of this common-sense request, and grant the City's request to limit traffic on the
Venetian Causeway to Miami Beach residents during the month of March 2024.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE 'IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
