COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Vice-Mayor Steven Meiner 
DATE:February  10, 2021
 



SUBJECT:DISCUSS, AND TAKE ACTION, SCHEDULING A SPECIAL COMMISSION WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS THE URBAN FORESTRY MASTER PLAN AND THE PLANNED REMOVAL OF OVER 1,000 PALM TREES THROUGHOUT MIAMI BEACH.

ANALYSIS

The Commission never approved a specific plan to remove over 1,000 palm trees. Resident input and feedback has likewise not been sought. Many residents have started reaching out to me concerned about the removal of palm trees in their neighborhood. The Commission approved the scheduling of this Special Workshop at the January 27, 2021 Commission meeting but to date the workshop has not been scheduled.
