The Committee on the Homeless focused on monitoring homelessness trends in Miami Beach, strengthening coordination with law enforcement and outreach teams, and exploring partnerships to expand services for vulnerable residents. Monthly updates from the Miami Beach Police Department's Homeless Resource Unit highlighted rising challenges, including increased arrivals from out of state, higher levels of aggressive behavior, and recurring arrests for minor offenses such as trespassing, camping, and substance use. Committee members consistently pressed for more detailed arrest data, follow-up on recidivism, and clarity on how the Baker and Marchman Acts affect long-term outcomes. The Homeless Outreach Services Program provided regular reports on shelter placements, family reunifications, and outreach efforts. Refusal rates for street outreach remained high, though the Walk-In Center continued to serve individuals ready to accept help. The committee also tracked contract renewals with shelter providers and discussed gaps in partnerships, particularly with Chapman Partnership, which does not contract beds directly with the City. Guest presentations expanded the Committee's understanding of supportive housing and senior care. Carrfour Supportive Housing outlined its statewide permanent supportive housing model, while Mount Sinai's PACE program described services for medically vulnerable seniors, including those experiencing homelessness. Community engagement emerged as a major theme. Members evaluated the Mid-Beach Neighborhood Association's Adopt-A-Block initiative and explored ideas of student involvement through local schools to raise awareness on homelessness.

The Committee urges that it is imperative that this be a unanimous vote of the City of Miami Beach Mayor and Commissioners. Motion made by Julian Linares Motion seconded by Carmen Datorre Motion unanimously approved by all members present. REG:lh RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, STRONGLY OPPOSING DEHUMANIZING AND VIOLENT RHETORIC TARGETING IMMIGRANTS, INCLUDING THE "ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ" DETENTION FACILITY AND STATEMENTS BY NATIONAL LEADERS; AFFIRMING THE DIGNITY AND CONTRIBUTIONS OF HISPANIC AND IMMIGRANT FAMILIES IN MIAMI BEACH; AND REJECTING LANGUAGE AND PRACTICES THAT PROMOTE HUNTING DOWN, CAGING, WRONGFUL DETENTION, OR CELEBRATING HARM AGAINST IMMIGRANTS, INCLUDING THE USE OF DEADLY WILDLIFE SUCH AS ALLIGATORS IN THE EVERGLADES. WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach is a diverse, inclusive community built and strengthened by generations of immigrants and their families, whose labor, businesses, and culture contribute immeasurably to our economy, resilience, and unique identity; and WHEREAS, Miami Beach was among the first cities in Florida to pass legal protections for LGBTQ+ residents and visitors, to condemn antisemitism and racism, and to formally recognize and celebrate Juneteenth, Pride Month, and Hispanic Heritage Month, reinforcing its identity as a diverse and inclusive community; and WHEREAS, this legacy now calls us to speak out clearly and unequivocally against the growing use of violent and dehumanizing rhetoric directed at immigrants—rhetoric that threatens the safety, dignity, and wellbeing of thousands of families who call Miami Beach home; and WHEREAS, our immigrant residents— many of whom are Hispanic, but also from Haiti, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, and across the globe — are not criminals to be hunted or caged, but rather workers, caregivers, business owners, artists, and essential members of our economy, our neighborhoods, and our shared civic life; and WHEREAS, in recent months, national political figures have used rhetoric that dehumanizes immigrants and promotes violence, cruelty, and wrongful detention including: • On July 1, 2025, President Donald Trump toured a newly established migrant detention facility in the Florida Everglades—colloquially known as "Alligator Alcatraz"—and made remarks referring to detainees as"some of the most vicious people on the planet,"further characterizing the environment and local Everglades wildlife such as alligators as appropriate deterrents to migration ([AP, NYT, July 1-2, 2025]); and • On June 15, 2025, President Trump posted on Truth Social that "ICE and local police must**hunt them down wherever they are hiding —every resource must be used to root them out and REMOVE them," pledging to use the National Guard and even active-duty military to carry out the largest mass deportation program in U.S. history ([Reuters, June 15, 2025]); and • Senior officials in President Trump's current administration have described immigrants as an "invasion" and have invoked wartime authority to justify mass detentions and deportations (see Presidential Executive Order 14159, "Protecting the American People Against Invasion"); and w Administration policies have been accompanied by rhetoric portraying immigrants as criminals, threats to national security, and contributors to the "poisoning of the blood" of the nation-echoing historically dangerous language used tojustify exclusion and violence ([New York Times, March 18' 2O24]\: and WHEREAS, these remarks and the policies they justify have tangible consequences - especially in South Florida, where several recent cases illustrate the real-life consequences of violent rhetoric, harsh enforcement actions, and mistaken identity for law-abiding immigrants: * In May 2025, Peter Sean Brown, a U.S.citizen,was wrongfully detained in Monroe County at ICE's request despite valid proof of citizenship—a federal court ruled his constitutional rights were violated ([ACLU Florida, VVLRN. yWmy2025l\; ° In April 2025,Juan Carlos L6pez-Gomez, a U.S.-born South Florida resident,was stopped and jailed under an immigration hold despite valid |O' Ulan detained by ICE before release (NVCTV.

Isidro P6rez, a id lawful Cuban resident, died in Krnme Detention Center following medical neglect(0VPBF.

July 2O25]\; and WHEREAS, in paro|ie|, the federal government has initiated efforts that may threaten the legal standing of naturalized U.S. citizens, with the Department of Justice announcing expanded resources to pursue denaturalization cases against citizens accused of errors during the naturalization process, leaving many in our community uncertain and afraid ([Miami Herald, July 2U25l)� 8Od ^'. WHEREAS, families of detainees being held at the Everglades facility have relayed firsthand to the Miami Herald and other outlets reports of days without showers, lack of clean VVater. spoiled fond infested with maggots, 0oSqUibJ and bug Gvv@[nng, extreme temperature swings, and unsanitary toilets in the facility's temporary tent structures; and WHEREAS, Miami Beach stands in firm opposition to words and actions that treat all migrants as dangerous criminals and rejects inhumane detention conditions — including reports from the Everglades facility; and WHEREAS, in a July 3, 2025 statement posted to the Archdiocese of Miami website, Archbishop Thomas Wenski condemned the facility as "alarming" and "unbecoming of public officials," called enforcement tactics that treat all irregular migrants as dangerous criminals "intentionally provocative," and warned such rhetoric is "corrosive of the common good"; and WHEREAS, the vagueness, breadth, and lack of transparency of these initiatives are causing significant anxiety among the South Florida community, where immigrant families, including naturalized citizens, form a vital part of the social fabric, and where many now fear that unclear standards could subject them or their loved ones to arbitrary investigations or loss of rights, despite years of lawful presence and contribution; and WHEREAS,the values of the Miami Beach community compel us to oppose hate in all its forms —and to stand firmly with immigrant families who, like generations before them, come to our City not to harm, but to build, serve, and contribute. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City Commission hereby strongly oppose dehumanizing and violent rhetoric targeting immigrants, including the "Alligator Alcatraz" detention facility and statements by national leaders; affirm the dignity and contributions of Hispanic and immigrant families in Miami Beach; and reject language and practices that promote hunting down, caging,wrongful detention, or celebrating harm against immigrants, including the use of deadly wildlife such as alligators in the Everglades.

BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BIANNUAL REPORT MIAMI BEACH BOARD OR COMMITTEE NAME: LGBTQIA+ Advisory Committee CHAIRPERSON: Carol Coombes CITY LIAISON: Kara Petrella NUMBER OF MEETINGS HELD: 8 to date — one meeting was cancelled as the Liaison was unwell — a second meeting was cancelled as the Chair and Vice were unavailable ACTIVITY: Throughout 2025, the City of Miami Beach LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee has demonstrated its role as a proactive, hands-on working body committed to advancing inclusion, visibility, and equity for LGBTQIA+ residents and visitors to Miami Beach. One of the committee's key achievements has been its collaboration with the City's Visitor and Convention Authority (MBVCA) to develop LGBTQIA+ focused content for the official tourism app: ExperienceMiamiBeach.com. This initiative — proposed to launch in October 2025 during LGBTQIA+ History Month - will offer a self-guided walking tour highlighting the rich LGBTQIA+ history and cultural landmarks of Miami Beach—bridging education, tourism, and local pride in an accessible, tech-forward format that serves both residents and visitors. The committee also successfully prepared and self-submitted the City of Miami Beach's 2025 Municipal Equality Index (MEI) application to the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). These results reaffirmed the City's commitment to equality, with Miami Beach receiving a perfect score for the year. This achievement reflects the City's continued leadership in inclusive policies, services, and benefits for the LGBTQIA+ community. Since January 2025, the committee has also actively fostered collaboration by inviting representatives from key civic, business, and advocacy organizations — including the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District (LRBID), the Miami Beach Police Department, the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), SAVE, Equality Florida, and TransSocial — to present updates, align efforts, and explore opportunities for partnership. This coalition-building underscores the committee's broader mission: to not only advise but to catalyze real change by bringing diverse stakeholders together in service of a more inclusive Miami Beach. Additionally, the committee expressed strong interest and advocacy regarding the preservation of the iconic rainbow crosswalk, which unfortunately was removed by the Federal Department of F:\CLER\$ALL\BOARD AND COMMITTEES DATABASE\BC BIANNUAL AND ATTENDANCE REPORTS L TC\2026\Biannual July- December 2025\LGBTQIA+Advisory Committee.Docx Page 1 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BIANNUAL REPORT Transportation during the year. In response, the committee has championed the creation of a new memorial to honor the crosswalk's legacy, including the reuse of its original bricks in a future monument. This effort reflects the committee's dedication to preserving symbols of LGBTQIA+ pride and history within the city. MIAMIBEACH FUTURE ACTIVITIES: The City of Miami Beach LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee has outlined a focused set of strategic goals for the upcoming season to advance visibility, equity, and safety for LGBTQIA+ residents and visitors. These priorities reflect the Committee's ongoing commitment to civic engagement, cultural inclusion, and community empowerment. 1. Amplify Visibility and Communication: The Committee is working to develop a cohesive communication and public education strategy with the City of Miami Beach that promotes LGBTQIA+ businesses, highlights the work and impact of the Committee itself, and reinforces the importance of identifying and sustaining safe, F:\CLER\$ALL\BOARD AND COMMITTEES DATABASE\BC BIANNUAL AND ATTENDANCE REPORTS L TC\2026\Biannual July- December 2025\LGBTQIA+ Advisory Committee.Docx Page 2 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BIANNUAL REPORT inclusive spaces across Miami Beach. This includes improving messaging through social media, public signage, and collaborations with tourism partners. 2. Activate Lincoln Road with Inclusive Placemaking: In partnership with the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District (LRBID), the Committee is brainstorming on ways to activate vacant storefronts to increase foot traffic, support LGBTQIA+ entrepreneurs and creatives, and encourage economic vibrancy along one of the city's most iconic commercial corridors. 3. Launch the LGBTQIA+ History Walking Tour: The Committee will support the rollout of the newly developed LGBTQIA+ History Walks — an educational, self-guided tour housed on the city's official tourism app (ExperienceMiami Beach.com). This initiative will honor the local legacy of LGBTQIA+ bars, clubs and businesses both past and present. 4. Expand Community Safety Education: The Miami Beach Police Department's LGBTQIA+ Liaison Office is working to launch a series of "Stop the Hate" and "Safe Space" training workshops for residents, hospitality partners, and frontline workers. These sessions are designed to equip the community with tools to recognize, prevent, and respond to bias-related incidents. 5. Develop Comprehensive Social Justice and Human Rights Programming: Miami Beach Pride, which previously hosted a stand-alone social justice and human rights program, is interested in collaborating with the City of Miami Beach and partner— including the LGBTQIA+ Advisory Committee, Human Rights Committee, Lincoln Road BID, the Office of the Mayor and Commission, and Miami Beach Police and Fire Departments — to reimagine and strengthen this initiative. The program will be anchored around the City's annual Pride kick-off event on Lincoln Road each June, creating a unified platform for advocacy and community engagement. Plans include: • One to two days of LGBTQIA+ social justice programming with community partners. • Tabling opportunities for mission-aligned organizations. • Networking activations with Lincoln Road businesses. Stakeholders will meet in January to confirm the June date and discuss programming details.

This initiative will introduce a self-guided walking tour that showcases Miami Beach's rich LGBTQIA+ history and cultural landmarks. The project seamlessly blends education, tourism, and civic pride in a tech-forward, accessible format designed to serve both residents and visitors while amplifying the city's legacy of inclusion and visibility. While initially scheduled to launch in October 2025 during LGBTQIA+ History Month, the application is still under development and anticipated to launch early to mid-2026. Additionally, the Committee played an active role in the 2nd Annual Lincoln Road Business Improvement District (LRBID) Pride Month celebration at Euclid Circle. The event was attended by City Commissioners and their aides, senior leadership from the Miami Beach Police and Fire Departments, and LGBTQIA+ Advisory Committee members. Commissioner Alex Fernandez delivered a proclamation honoring longtime LGBTQIA+ activist and former Committee member Herb Sosa, recognizing his enduring contributions to the community and his leadership in advancing equity across Miami Beach. The Advisory Committee also connected with counterparts from the City of Miami and the Miami- Dade County Advisory Committee during a December social gathering, an engagement that hopefully has opened an avenue for future collaboration. Lastly, the Advisory Committee welcomed three new members, successfully filling all available seats and completing its full roster of appointments.

Only 2 restaurants would be affected. All members present were in support of the resolution and requested to have an LTC sent. Guest Mehu provided details on the idea of Valet Service through the 41St street corridor to promote the public to visit other shops along the street. It was explained that people can leave their cars with valet at one point of the street and then pick up their cars at another point of the street when using the valet service. No public parking would be removed, and the valet service would be in addition to public parking. The committee advised that this item should be made clearer, as that is not understood by the public. This discussion will continue to October 22 PSNQLC Meeting. Committee was passionate about ensuring that the alleyways behind the restaurants on 41St Street are "cleaned up" and attractive for the public to feel comfortable parking there to explore the businesses. Referred to the September Commission for discussion with no recommendation. Guest Mehu shared details about the current work of enhancing businesses along 41 st Street touching on the building needs to be provided from developers and building owners. The discussion will continue during the September 2025 meeting. Member Bank and Member Behar will locate information, if desired, about the different features within each building as well as contacts of building owners through the State. Https://Miamibeach-My.Sharepoint.Com/Personal/Dianafontani_Miamibeachfl_Gov/Documents/Documents/41st Street Bi-Annual Report Draft.Docx Page 1 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT September 11, 2025 Meeting: Updates: Police Department: City of Miami Beach Police Major Ian Robinson proposed re-establishing a Miami Beach Police substation in the Mid-Beach area to address ongoing issues such as traffic, homelessness, and infrastructure. He referenced a former substation near the Roosevelt Theater and suggested a new space of approximately 800-900 square feet with basic amenities and parking for officers. The idea is to enhance police visibility and community engagement. While the location and logistics are still to be determined, Major Robinson encouraged attendees to keep an ear out for potential spaces and mentioned that any arrangement would follow proper legal channels through city facilities and real estate departments. As a temporary solution, mobile command units or portable structures could be placed in parking lots to serve similar functions. The committee members offered informal support, with the option to formalize it if needed. 41st Street Business Improvement District (BID) Update by Guest Speaker Ira Giller, Chair of the BID: In 2023, the 41st Street BID was created. By May 2024, the BID presented its vision plan to the city, which was officially adopted. The BID comprises property owners along 41st Street, excluding schools and religious institutions, and functions as a taxing entity within the city. Property owners are taxed based on their ground-floor square footage, with rates varying by use, generating a budget of approximately $200,000. One of the BID's primary goals is to encourage reinvestment and redevelopment along 41st Street which is controlled by the property owners. The development landscape has been mixed due to economic challenges such as rising interest rates, labor shortages, and legal uncertainties surrounding Florida's Live Local Act. This legislation allows developers to build up to the height of the tallest building within a one-mile radius, which could significantly impact 41st Street's zoning potential. Despite these challenges, the BID remains focused on balancing new development with preserving the character of the street. The BID is working with the city's planning department to explore zoning changes that would support both large-scale and small-scale development. This includes strategies to enhance one- and two-story buildings and potentially allow for the transfer of development rights (TDR), enabling owners of low-rise properties to sell unused development capacity to developers of taller anchor buildings at either end of the street. Parking continues to be a major concern along 41st Street, particularly as ongoing and future developments take shape. Tenants and business owners have long voiced frustration over the Https://Miamibeach-My.Sharepoint.Com/Personal/Dianafontani_Miamibeachfl_Gov/Documents/Documents/41st Street Bi-Annual Report Draft.Docx Page 2 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT steady loss of parking spaces—especially on 40th and 42nd Streets and west of the bridge. While there is growing interest in adding a grocery store to the area post-election, both the BID and the broader community strongly oppose any reduction in parking or the demolition of existing garages. Ensuring that new developments include adequate parking remains a top priority. Progress has also been hindered by inefficiencies within the building department, creating delays for both landlords and tenants. Still, 41 st Street boasts the lowest commercial vacancy rate in the city, with several new businesses recently opening, an encouraging sign of growth. The group emphasized the need for more neighborhood restaurants to help energize the area's nightlife. To support this momentum, the BID is advancing efforts to rebrand and market 41st Street. Consultants have been engaged to help define a new identity for the corridor, including polling tenants and shoppers to shape a shared vision and attract future investment. The BID also acknowledges the importance of improving tenant quality and exploring hybrid development models, such as incorporating apartment buildings with ground-floor retail, to enhance foot traffic and vibrancy. FDOT Meeting Update by Crabtree: Concerns were raised about the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the need for the BID to have a seat at the table during planning. Branding could potentially be integrated into construction barriers. The BID opposes removing parking for wider sidewalks. Commissioner Laura Dominguez shared her personal connection to the area and acknowledged the poor conditions of alleys, parking lots, and storefronts. She emphasized the need for the city to take action, especially on issues like potholes, sanitation, and neglected properties, which undermine efforts to brand and revitalize the corridor. Concerns were also raised about the deteriorating condition of the twin bridges on 41 st Street. Although a $9 million FDOT project is underway, it initially excluded cosmetic repairs to the bridge tiles. The group stressed that successful branding and redevelopment must be paired with visible improvements to infrastructure and property maintenance to attract quality businesses and elevate the street's appeal. Former commissioner Jerry Libbin joined the meeting and praised Miami Beach's responsiveness to community concerns, sharing past examples where city departments acted quickly to resolve issues. He encouraged the committee to stay united and leverage their influence, especially during election season, to push for improvements on 41 st Street. Committee members agreed that city officials generally respond well when invited to meetings and emphasized the importance of continued advocacy. priorities and share their positions. They proposed giving candidates two minutes each and preparing a short list of focused questions or bullet points in advance. Https://Miamibeach-My.Sharepoint.Com/Personal/Dianafontani_Miamibeachfl_Gov/Documents/Documents/41st Street Bi-Annual Report Draft.Docx Page 3 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT Motion: The 41 st Street Committee recommend the Mayor and Commission support for waiver of city fees for new businesses. o Motion made by: Charlotte Tomic o Motion passed: Unanimously October 9, 2025 Meeting: Mid Beach Update — Police Department Captain Sanchez discussed increased police staffing during the holidays, specifically around October 7t" and 14t", dates aligned with past attacks on the Jewish community. These deployments included SWAT teams, drones, snipers, K-9 units, and the department's new Teradyne armored vehicle, which attracted notable interest from residents. Captain Sanchez highlighted enforcement priorities, including loud muffler violations, homelessness along the beach walk and in vacant properties, and ongoing efforts to combat car theft. He noted that plans for a police substation on 41 st Street are currently paused and will be revisited after the New Year. Speaker Series — Workforce/Affordable Housing, Michelle Katz, Senior Development Manager & Kenneth Naylor, President of Development, Atlantic Pacific Ms. Michelle Katz highlighted the urgent need for affordable housing in Miami Beach, citing a 2024 Miami-Dade County study that identified a shortage of 90,000 affordable units. She explained HUD's Area Median Income (AMI) thresholds, noting that affordable housing is defined for households earning up to 80% of AMI, while workforce housing extends to 140% of AMI. She also described the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and its role in funding developments. The Program was established by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 to incentivize affordable housing development through federal tax credits. These credits are allocated to state agencies, which then award them to developers for new construction or rehabilitation projects that create affordable housing units. States set requirements such as reserving 40% of units for households earning 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or 20% for those earning 50% of AMI or less, with compliance periods ranging from 30 to 50 years. Developers typically sell these credits to investors or banks, such as First Horizon, to raise equity and fund the projects. Additionally, she emphasized the significant barriers developers face in producing affordable housing, including high land costs, restrictive zoning, community opposition, and rising construction expenses due to inflation and tariffs. She explained that while LIHTC is a powerful tool, it often falls short of covering full development costs, requiring additional funding from local, Https://Miamibeach-My.Sharepoint.Com/Personal/Dianafontani_Miamibeachfl_Gov/Documents/Documents/41st Street Bi-Annual Report Draft.Docx Page 4 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT county, and state sources, each adding regulatory complexity. Ms. Katz recommended several strategies to support affordable and workforce housing development, including policy changes like inclusionary zoning and density bonuses. She emphasized the importance of promoting city-owned land through the RFP process and engaging the community early, especially when rezonings or site plan approvals are needed. She highlighted the critical role of public-private partnerships, citing the VISTA Breeze development as a successful example. The Committee discussed ways to involve the Mayor and City Commission in advancing housing initiatives. Parking Update: Mr. Macdonald voiced support for workforce housing and suggested repurposing underutilized parking areas, especially in districts like 41 st Street, for mixed-use development. He acknowledged the high cost of constructing parking in Miami Beach and proposed shared-use agreements to balance business needs with affordability goals. Addressing the Committee's concerns about the removal of street hash marks for additional parking spaces, he explained that these markings are required on FDOT-managed roads. He also responded to concerns about pylons restricting two- way traffic, noting that they were part of a Smart Cities initiative now being phased out in favor of sensor-based, app-driven technology. The new system is expected to roll out citywide within six to twelve months. In response to questions about a proposed unified valet system for 41 st Street, Mr. Macdonald stated the corridor is not currently a strong candidate due to its layout and usage patterns and presented cost estimates for both valet and shuttle options. While no immediate plans are in place, he reiterated his commitment to supporting solutions that align with City and community goals. Chair's Update: • FDOT Meeting Update FDOT and the City of Miami Beach have nearly finalized certain agreements along the corridor, with construction potentially starting next summer, coinciding with additional overlapping projects that may be scheduled in the area around the same time. • Potholes Update Following Commissioner Dominguez's visit to the last Committee meeting, all reported potholes were promptly addressed. Https://Miamibeach-My.Sharepoint.Com/Personal/Dianafontani_Miamibeachfl_Gov/Documents/Documents/41st Street Bi-Annual Report Draft.Docx Page 5 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT November— Speaker Series — Neighborhood Association Panel Three homeowner associations have confirmed their participation in the next Committee meeting. City Update: Vacant Storefront Registry Program (LUSC) Ms. Shaw provided a brief overview of the Vacant Storefront Registry Program, which is scheduled for discussion at the upcoming Land Use and Sustainability Committee meeting. The program proposes fines for properties that remain vacant beyond a designated period. Committee members raised concerns about the appearance of window coverings on vacant properties. Ms. Shaw advised that if committee members observe damaged or unkempt coverings, they should report them to the Code Department and suggest that the Committee reach out to the 41st Street Business Improvement District to explore the possibility of implementing standardized, more attractive window coverings, rather than relying on brown paper coverings. Assist Small Businesses Materially Impacted by Public Works Projects (FERC) This upcoming item on the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee agenda will focus on how the City can support small businesses during periods when streets are closed due to City construction. Cost Estimates, 41 st Street Bridge Repairs (FERC) The item will be presented at the upcoming Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee meeting. Potential Water Taxi Location in Mid-Beach and North Beach (KRG) The item will be presented at the upcoming October Commission meeting. November 13, 2025 Meeting: The Committee would the 41st Street corridor to look more uniformed and possibly identify a color palette and design guide for businesses to create more uniformity. Jeannette Dorfman shared details from a WhatsApp message platform that she posted for the 41st Street community, asking what they envision for 41st Street. Many residents shared that they want better conditions and more inviting walkways and shops on 41st Street. Consistency in cleanliness, drainage/ flooding plan revisions is important to residents and visitors. Members also expressed interest in removing the hostage mural and improving the Google Maps destination for 41 st Street. The Committee discussed the redesign of 41st Street, focusing on increasing sidewalks, adding outdoor dining spaces, and improving retail activity. These actions were all inspired by temporary Https://Miamibeach-My.Sharepoint.Com/Personal/Dianafontani_Miamibeachfl_Gov/Documents/Documents/41st Street Bi-Annual Report Draft.Docx Page 6 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT outdoor seating during COVID. Committee members expressed interest in connecting with FDOT and exploring alternatives to make 41 st Street more appealing to pedestrians, driving within the street more efficient, and to better understand the restrictions/regulations in place. Some Committee members expressed that there may be legal and regulatory challenges involved with the changes in existing 41st Street redevelopment plans. There was discussion about transferring development rights to help property owners redevelop their buildings to create more vibrant spaces. Attendees shared that retailers would like to increase service areas and renovate/redevelop their spaces to attract more people, like Hollywood Boulevard. There was a brief discussion about getting more information on the viability of a "vacancy tax". Committee members would like the City to allow the use of the parallel parking spaces in front of the buildings and allow outdoor seating for businesses along 41st Street. There was notation from Committee members that there must be a way to protect the people dining on the side streets from cars, and the idea of the large barricade planters (bollards) arose, similar to what was done in Hollywood. Some Committee members advised that the residents pushed back on the idea of removing the parallel parking on 41st street and expanding the sidewalk when it was proposed by the Committee years ago. Committee members discussed that the current redevelopment plans to revamp the streetscape are set to break ground in summer 2026. There is a plan to have "staged construction" to allow businesses to stay open during construction. The plan is to enhance corridor aesthetics, safety, and lighting. Some attendees and Committee members shared that design of the street was never voted on by residents, only the GO Bond money was voted on by residents. There was discussion about redesigning the existing planned street design. Robin Jacobs made a motion. The motion passed 6 to 3. The 41st Street Committee recommends that the Committee invite the City Construction Improvement Projects Department to address the 41st Street Committee to discuss increasing the width of the 41st Street sidewalks through the redevelopment design of 41st Street. Robin Jacobs suggested that the Committee invite CIP to the December meeting for further discussions on street design improvements.

The Committee recommended that the BID provide some direction toward some uniformity on the paint color pallet for businesses on 41st Street. In addition, the Committee request clarity on how the BID plans to increase tenant occupancy on 41st Street. New Business The Committee agreed that there should be efforts to encourage proper window coverings on vacant storefronts to eliminate the use of brown paper cover, which is unacceptable. The Committee recommended exploring opportunities to activate the rear alley areas behind businesses, potentially with micro-cafes, pop-ups, and pedestrian spaces. The Committee would like to develop an aggressive marketing campaign to promote the new regulations and incentives to attract new businesses to 41 st Street. The purpose is to increase the diversity of restaurants and businesses on 41st Street that cater to residents and visitors. Heather Shaw shared with the Committee that the Economic Development Department monthly newsletter is a good place to announce new businesses, and MB Magazine (a quarterly publication) article can improve 41st Street visibility to residents. The Committee believes that an "anchor" store, like a boutique grocer, would potentially increase daily pedestrian traffic. Amy Mehu shared that there are potential tenants, including a steakhouse and a dessert shop, exploring the neighborhood. December 11, 2025 Meeting: Speaker Series — Mayor Meiner Https://Miamibeach-My.Sharepoint.Com/Personal/Dianafontani_Miamibeachfl_Gov/Documents/Documents/41st Street Bi-Annual Report Draft.Docx Page 8 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT Chair Crabtree welcomed Mayor Meiner who gave thanks to the committee for all the hard work that they do individually and together for 41 st Street and the Miami Beach community. Mayor Meiner advised the committee regarding the following items: - GO Bond funds and its relationship with FDOT construction, which is planned to begin in Summer 2026. - Traffic issues and patterns on 41 st Street, where there is a modification to the pilot program that Mayor Meiner would like to make which would allow a left turn on 41 st Street. The committee was in favor of this modification, and they voiced their appreciation for the increase of police presence to direct traffic on 41St Street during high impact hours. - There has been an attempt to add an additional lane to allow turning, however through the new FDOT regulations there would be a mandatory light fixture change to have an "turn only" lane (cost$1 M per light). The current lights in place are grandfathered by the old regulations. - Starting February 2026, the Water Taxi will be commuting five days a week. Funding of $600,000 is coming from the City of Miami Beach to support this program, and the remaining funds are coming from Miami Dade County. The community feedback relating to the Water Taxi during Art Week 2025 was very positive. - To encourage a shift in the community to attract more families to the area, the committee was in support of "The Fontainebleau Water Park". However, the committee recommends a stipulation to the contract with the hotel that would restrict them from opening a casino now or in the future. It is noted that the water park is only intended for hotel guests. - David Grutman was called on the phone to discuss updates regarding the opening/ construction of The Forge, where the goal is to be open within the next 18 months. The committee was very excited about this addition to the Miami Beach community. - The committee addressed concerns and desires for an "anchor" business on 41St Street (grocery store, bakery, etc.) - The committee addressed concerns with the current state of the theater. It was noted by the committee that the theater is not in the best condition and is bringing down the property value and beatification of the neighborhood. Https://Miamibeach-My.Sharepoint.Com/Personal/Dianafontani_Miamibeachfl_Gov/Documents/Documents/41st Street Bi-Annual Report Draft.Docx Page 9 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT - The vision for 41 st Street and Lincoln Road is that construction will begin in Summer 2026 and take about 2 years to complete. The cost of construction at night may cost more and need commission action, however the committee was adamant that work be done at night to avoid further disruption to the businesses on the street. Member Hankin strongly advocated for the proper development and use of branded signage during the construction phase so that the street doesn't loose all of the foot traffic over the next two years. It was heavily noted that without the proper support the businesses on 41st Street will go out of business during construction. - During the latest budget meeting the Budget Committee was trying to reduce the funding going toward police, and Mayor Meiner pushed back on this item. It was noted by Mayor Meiner and the committee that the number of homeless presences in Miami Beach has reduced significantly. The number of outreach programs to assist the homeless community in Miami Beach is unmatched by other cities, and the police in Miami Beach play a key role in assistance and response. - There is a direction to increase sanitation within the city and implement code violations for people who litter within the community. - It was noted that the permitting process within the city is too difficult. Mayor Meiner would like to remove all the permitting processes that do not have to do with Fire Life and Safety. The committee was very receptive to this, one member noting that she has been working for over four years trying to properly obtain permits to install an in-ground pool at her home, which is still not complete. The consensus amongst the group was that permitting is so difficult and time consuming (often with no results) that many people have done construction work without proper permits, which defeats the point of having safety regulations and process. - It was advised that the city will be going under a full audit, and in the past the city has been audited with no findings. - Synchronization of the streetlights on 41 st Street to allow a "green wave" have been attempted by Miami-Dade County to allow for pedestrians to cross all at once. This will help to reduce the traffic congestion. Chair Crabtree reminded Mayor Meiner about the renewal of the committee in March 2026. Https://Miamibeach-My.Sharepoint.Com/Personal/Dianafontani_Miamibeachfl_Gov/Documents/Documents/41st Street Bi-Annual Report Draft.Docx Page 10 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT Chair Update Chair Crabtree requested all committee members provide opinions on 2026 Goals relating to adjustments, replacements, and additions. The committee agreed to combine goals 1 and 4, modify goal 2, and keep goal 3. The goals have been noted as the following: • Strengthen marketing and communication for retail and property owners by partnering with 41St Steet Business Improvement District. • Enhance the quality of life for businesses and residents through beautification, sanitation, art and culture. • Identify workforce housing opportunities and strategies. 2026 Meeting Calendar The committee was reminded that they are only required to meet 4 times per calendar year(January — December). Motion to not meet in the months of July and August 2026 made by Vice-Chair Burnstein, second by Member Wachtel, approved unanimously by the committee. New Business Member Lari shared potential activation ideas with the committee to enhance 41St Street. The committee must work with the BID to activate the space. Sandra Schoen Ian k-Arian reminded the committee that the role of Economic Development is to assist businesses within the community by orchestrating incentive programs, sanitation, visual guidelines and regulations, etc. It is up to the specific property owner to scout and fill empty spaces/ storefronts. Sandra Schoen Ian k-Arian reminded the committee of Sunshine Laws regarding communication outside of the publicly noticed meeting. If there is additional communication to be had, committee members may share via email with staff who can then communicate with the whole committee on their behalf. Chair Crabtree recommended a co-board meeting with BID for the February 2026 meeting. The committee would like the BID to create a "Dream Map" detailing what the street would look like with the specific shops of the businesses they are hoping to attract, in the proper ratios of retail shops to restaurants. Member Wachtel noted that it is very important to have a balance of shops, and that the strip cannot be solely restaurants. Member Bank made mention of the desire to understand where the information goes after being Https://Miamibeach-My.Sharepoint.Com/Personal/Dianafontani_Miamibeachfl_Gov/Documents/Documents/41st Street Bi-Annual Report Draft.Docx Page 11 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT discussed at the meeting.

The Committee submitted the PPI Annual Update for review by the City Commission and it was approved at the Miami Beach City Commission meeting on December 17, 2025 as part of item C7 M. Key messages developed by this Committee continue to be used by the Marketing and Communications team when advising and alerting residents about real-time flooding and actions to take. This communication is delivered electronically via social media (X, Facebook and Nextdoor)and email. In addition, the Committee has helped create flood awareness fact sheets that are mailed directly to relevant audiences, in addition to being provided electronically on the website. This information is incorporated in the flood awareness page and flood awareness brochures developed by the Marketing and Communications Department.
