BACKGROUND/HISTORY
This Ordinance,which was sponsored by Commissioner David Suarez,was adopted by the City
Commission following Second Reading/Public Hearing on September 17,2025 (See Ordinance
No.2025-4775,attached to this Memorandum).The Ordinance is the subject of a Motion for
Reconsideration,which has also been placed on the October 29,2025 City Commission meeting
agenda.The Ordinance will only be heard at the October 29,2025 meeting if the Motion for
Reconsideration is first adopted by the City Commission.
The City's registration requirements for lobbyists and individuals excluded from the definition of
"lobbyist"are set forth in Chapter 2,Article VII,Division 3 of the City Code.
Section 2-11.1 of the Miami-Dade County Code,known as the Miami-Dade County Conflict of
Interest and Code of Ethics Ordinance,establishes a "minimum standard of ethical conduct and
behavior,"including minimum lobbyist registration requirements,which apply to the County and
all municipalities within Miami-Dade County.
ANALYSIS
2187 of 3458
The purpose of this Ordinance is to amend the definitions applicable to Chapter 2,Article VII,
Division 3 of the Code,clarify and restate the written disclosure requirement for persons excluded
from the definition of "lobbyist,"clarify that this Division is enforceable against a person who is
acting or appearing on behalf of an entity,and adopt clarifying amendments to the prohibition on
the giving or acceptance of a contingency fee in connection with appearances before the City.
A more detailed summary of amendments is as follows:
•At Second Reading on September 17,2025,the Ordinance was amended to require a
lobbyist to provide a written disclosure to the City Clerk if the lobbyist provides,or has
agreed to provide,consideration (whether monetary or non-monetary),valued at $1,000
or more,to a neighborhood association or its designee for purposes of supporting or
withholding objection with regard to a matter before the City Commission or any board or
committee.
•Amendment to the definition of "departmental personnel"and adoption of a definition of
"City personnel"in a manner consistent with the Miami-Dade County Conflict of Interest
and Code of Ethics Ordinance.
•Amendment to the separate registration requirement for individuals excluded from the
definition of "lobbyist,"to refer to the alternative registration requirement as a."written
disclosure"and clearly state what information must be provided.
•Amendment to the enforcement and penalty provisions to make clear that the
requirements of this Division of the Code are enforceable by the Miami-Dade County
Commission on Ethics and Public Trust against "a person who is acting or appearing on
behalf of an entity."
•Revisions to the contingency fee prohibition in Section 2-485.3 of the City Code to clarify
that the prohibition applies to both persons (including a person who is acting or appearing
on behalf of an entity)and entities;and (ii)Section 2-485.3 only applies to lobbyists and
persons specifically excluded from the definition of "lobbyist"in Section 2-481.
