ANALYSIS
The attached Ordinance was prepared at the request of Vice-Mayor Laura Dominguez and
Commissioner Alex Fernandez for consideration at the May 15, 2024 City Commission meeting.
In 2016, the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach adopted Ordinance No. 2016-
4017, establishing the advisory Youth Commission to provide the youth of Miami Beach with a
vehicle to learn about government, participate in the process of City government, represent and
articulate the needs of youth in the City, and provide recommendations to the City Commission
on issues and programs affecting the youth and teen population in the City.
Currently, the term of office for each member is one year, with the option to be re-appointed for
one subsequent one-year term, allowing each member to serve up to two (2) years total.
At its March 16, 2024 meeting, the Youth Commission passed a unanimous motion
recommending for the Mayor and City Commission to amend Ordinance No. 2016-4017 to allow
for a Youth Commission member to serve up to three (3) years.
General term of office for members of City boards and committees, unless specifically prescribed,
is two years. The proposed Ordinance seeks to amend Section 2-188 of the City Code to allow
for members to serve for up to three (3) years, with the initial appointment to be for a one (1 ) year
term, with an option to be appointed for two (2) additional one-year terms, allowing members to
serve up to three (3) years in the aggregate.
