City of Miami Beach Commission Brings Back the Joy
— Joy Malakoff Appointed to Group IV—
Miami Beach, FL –This evening, the Miami Beach City Commission appointed former
Commissioner Joy Malakoff to the vacant Group IV commission seat.
“We’re excited to welcome Joy back onto the dais — her extensive experience,
knowledge and integrity makes her a natural fit,” said Mayor Dan Gelber. “It’s also
remarkable to see so many great candidates with diverse backgrounds and intellectual
capacities stepping up to serve our great city.”
Malakoff served on the City Commission from 2013-2017, and previously sat on the
Planning Board for 11 years (seven as chairwoman) as well as the Historic Preservation
Board and Board of Adjustments. Last year, she was also an active member of the
Mayor’s Blue Ribbon General Obligation Bond Committee.
“I love this city and believe my highest and best calling is public service,” said
Commissioner Joy Malakoff. “I look forward to working with my colleagues on further
promoting our arts and culture, improving resiliency efforts, ensuring the G.O. Bond
projects move forward with efficiency and accountability, and much more.”
