OFFICE OF THE CJry CLERK.
This form is required under Chapter 2, Article VII, Division 3 of the City Code for individuals who engage in lobbying activities
before the City of Miami Beach.
Pursuant to City Code Section 2-481, a "lobbyist" means any person employed, retained, or designated, whether paid or
not, by a principal who seeks to encourage the passage, defeat, or modification of any ordinance, resolution, action, or
decision of any Commissioner; any action, decision, or recommendation of the City Manager or any City board or committee;
or any action, decision, or recommendation of any City personnel1 during the time period of the entire decision-making
process on such action, decision, or recommendation that foreseeably will be heard or reviewed by the City Commission,
or a City board or committee. The term specifically includes the principal as well as any employee engaged in lobbying
activities. The term "lobbyist" specifically excludes the following persons: expert witnesses who provide only scientific,
technical, or other specialized information or testimony in public meetings; any person who only appears as a representative
of a neighborhood or homeowner association without compensation or reimbursement for the appearance, whether direct,
indirect, or contingent, solely to express support of or opposition to any item; and any person who only appears as a
representative of a not-for-profit community-based organization for the purpose of requesting a grant, without special
compensation or reimbursement for the appearance. Any person excluded from the definition of lobbyist under Section 2-
481 is not required to register as a lobbyist but must complete and submit a written disclosure form for each issue on which
they appear, identifying their name, address, and the principal on whose behalf they are communicating, as required by
Section 2-483(b) of the City Code.
Note: A separate form titled "Neighborhood/Homeowner Association Representative Registration Form" is available from
the Office of the City Clerk for representatives of neighborhood or homeowner associations. Other individuals excluded from
the definition of lobbyist under Section 2-481 may utilize this form and complete the relevant sections.
Instructions: Please complete all sections of this form and submit the completed form, with the applicable fee, to the Office
of the City Clerk. If you need more space to complete an answer, use a separate sheet(s) of paper. If you have nothing to
report in a particular section, you must write "none" or "n/a" in that section. Any change to any information originally filed, or
any additional City Commissioner or personnel who are also sought to be lobbied, shall require that the lobbyist file an
amendment to the registration form. The lobbyist has a continuing duty to provide information and amend the forms filed
throughout the period during which lobbying occurs. A separate registration form must be submitted for each principal
represented and for each specific issue on which the lobbyist is engaged.
Lobbyist Registration Fees: Pursuant to Section 2-482 of the City Code, a registration fee of $350.00 per issue is required
at the time of filing this form. In addition, an annual registration fee of $500.00 is required for each 12-month period
commencing October 1 of each year. These fees must be submitted to the Office of the City Clerk along with the completed
registration form. However, a principal of any corporation, partnership, or other entity who appears as a lobbyist on behalf
of that entity, without special compensation or reimbursement for the appearance, is not required to pay registration fees.
No fee is required for fil ing a notice of withdrawal. The City Commission may, in its discretion, waive the registration fee
upon a finding of financial hardship.
Public Records Notice and Address Disclosure: Forms filed with the Office of the City Clerk are public records under
Florida law. If your home address is exempt from disclosure or if you prefer it not be made public, you may provide an office
or alternate mailing address instead. Florida Statutes Section 119.071 ( 4 )( d) provides public records exemptions for certain
