First 90 Days in Office

Vision for 2020

Exactly three months ago, I fulfilled an American dream as I officially became a City of Miami Beach Commissioner. Since that time, I have remained focused on delivering on my campaign platform to improve our daily quality of life and implement good governance measures.

In an interview with Miami Today, I discussed some of my priorities for Miami Beach in 2020:

• Increase public safety and police visibility
• Increase government transparency and good governance
• Streamline the permitting process
• Better street lighting
• Address the homelessness issue
• Implement a tailored approach to road raising
• Improve execution and oversight over our resiliency efforts

 

Spring Break 2020

 Two weeks ago, the City of Miami Beach Commission voted to cut back alcohol sales from 5:00 am to 3:00 am for 12 days during March’s Spring Break. This remains a controversial topic, and will be further discussed and voted on for final approval at tonight’s Commission meeting on Wednesday, February 26 at 5:00 pm.

If passed, the ordinance would impact alcohol sales between 5th and 15th streets on Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue, Washington Avenue and Española Way.

Please click the image below to view WSVN-TV Channel 7’s news article and video of the Commission’s discussion of this item at our last meeting on February 12, including one of my comments concerning public safety.

I'd like to hear from you if you have any concerns or suggestions on how we can improve our Miami Beach. Please reach out to me any time - my cell phone is 786-810-8728 and my direct City email is StevenMeiner@MiamiBeachFL.gov. Alternatively, you can contact my aide Amadeus Huff at 786-697-7763 or by email at AmadeusHuff@MiamiBeachFL.gov.

Thanks,
Steve
