To:Mayor and City Commission
CharlesScurr,CityManager
Ronetta Taylor,City Clerk
From:EarlG.Gallop
Date:March 16,2000
Re:Proposed amendment to
lobbyist ordinance
Subject:The proposed amendment updates Sec.8A-5,entitled "Lobbyists;registration and
reporting,exemptions,"of the city code and repeals Sec.8A-6,entitled "Penalty for violation
of chapter."
Discussion:The city's ordinance regulating lobbyist was adopted in 1969 and last updated
in1986.Itisinneed of updating.
The purpose of the proposed amendment is to strengthen lobbyist reporting and disclosure
requirements so that city officials,candidates,staff and the public may know who is doing
business with the city or seeking to influence legislation.This amendment continues the city
commission's commitment to strengthening standards of conduct pertaining to actions by
city officials and persons seeking to do business with the city.The objective of the proposed
amendment isto require disclosures by lobbyists to identify their clients,the subjects that
they have beenhiredto lobby,city officials who willbe,orhavebeen lobbied,andthe
amounts and objects of expenditures.The scope ofthe ordinance includes cityand all city
boards,committees and agencies,including the South Miami Community Redevelopment
AgencyandtheHealthFacilitiesAuthority.
The ordinance applies to everyone who is retained (whether paid or not)to represent a
business entity or organization to influence city action.City action is broadly described to
include virtually all legislative,quasi-judicial and administrative action by the city,including
the ranking and selection of professional consultants.It does not apply to persons who
appearon behalf of not-for-profitorganizations(Elks,AmericanLegion),homeowners
associations (CSM HOA),local chamber of commerce and merchants associations (Chamber
South,RedSunset Merchants Ass'n.),andtrade associations and unions (PBA,AFSCME).
Italso excludes personswhospeakontheirownbehalf without compensation (Mr.Tucker),
persons whoarerequestedtoappear before the commission,orany board,committeeor
agency,persons who are compelled to appear (under subpoena from code enforcement
board)and attorney's hired to represent persons who are requested or compelled to appear,
persons who appear in connection with a contract they have with the city,and expert
witnesses.Please note,however,an attorney representing a person in a quasi-judicial
proceeding is required under this version,but was not required under the former version,to
register asalobbyistandpaya$125 fee.
Lobbyist must file with the city clerk,disclose who they represent,the subject they have been
hired to lobby,and city officials they will contact.They must file an annual report
identifying how much they spent,and on what (meals,etc.,)and the city official on whom
theymadetheexpenditure.
Violations of requirements of the ordinance will enforced by the Miami-Dade County
Commission on Ethics and Public Trust,which can issue public reprimands and determine
fines ($250 first offense,$500 second and further offences).Contracts that are entered into
withthecity where a violation has occurred are voidable.Thecity commission can debar
the principal and the lobbyist for lobbying in the city,and from contracting with the city,
when there have been three violations.
Recommendation:Approve the ordinance on 1st reading and schedule 2nd reading and
public hearing.
