El premio se entreg\u00f3 anoche a los galardonados en la reuni\u00f3n de agosto de la Junta Directiva de la Liga de Ciudades del Condado de Miami-Dade. El comisionado Fern\u00e1ndez trabaj\u00f3 incansablemente durante toda la sesi\u00f3n para promover las voces locales que toman decisiones locales, compartiendo perspectivas, datos locales y ejemplos reales que ayudaron a informar a los legisladores estatales y a elevar la voz de las ciudades de Florida.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This session, local leaders stepped up once again, bringing persistence, perspective and a strong voice for local decision-making to every conversation,&#8221; said <b>Casey Cook, jefe de Asuntos Legislativos de la FLC<\/b>. &#8220;The League and our legislative team deeply appreciate their leadership and are proud to recognize the meaningful difference they made for Florida&#8217;s cities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Home Rule is the ability for a city to self-govern and find local solutions to local problems with minimal state interference. Home Rule Hero Award recipients are local government officials &#8211; both elected and nonelected &#8211; who consistently responded to the League&#8217;s request to reach out to members of the Florida Legislature and provide a local perspective on issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whether its pushing back against broad preemptions that allow out-of-scale development, fighting to preserve our cherished Art Deco District or opposing prior efforts for the expansion of casinos, I&#8217;m honored by the trust placed in me to defend Miami Beach&#8217;s right to protect its identity,&#8221; shared <b>Comisionado Alex Fern\u00e1ndez<\/b>. &#8220;I&#8217;m grateful to the state legislators who have given me the opportunity to collaborate toward meaningful solutions on behalf of the constituents we collectively serve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>El Comisionado Fern\u00e1ndez se ha consolidado como un defensor reflexivo y firme del autogobierno local y un comprometido defensor de los derechos de los residentes y las comunidades locales de toda Florida. Su liderazgo refleja una defensa basada en principios y un enfoque colaborativo de la gobernanza.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I congratulate Commissioner Fernandez on being named a 2025 Home Rule Hero. He represents our city with poise, professionalism, and a deep respect for the responsibilities we share,&#8221; said <b>El alcalde de Miami Beach, Steven Meiner. <\/b>&#8220;I commend his efforts in Tallahassee to safeguard home rule, and I&#8217;m proud to work alongside him as we stand together in defense of local decision-making.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The commissioner has played a key role in responding to state legislation that threatens local voices. This past session, he worked to secure amendments to the Live Local Act that help preserve architectural design standards in sensitive historic areas. Last year, he successfully advocated for protections for Miami Beach&#8217;s nationally designated Art Deco District from the broad scope of the Unsafe Structures and Resiliency Act. In addition, he engaged community stakeholders to help oppose the expansion of casino gambling by prioritizing the cultural and family-oriented character of the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so proud to congratulate my good friend, Commissioner Fernandez, for always leading a good fight in Tallahassee to preserve the values and architectural aesthetics that make Miami Beach not only a unique global destination but also a special part of my district,&#8221;\u00a0added <b>Florida <\/b><b>Senadora estatal Shevrin Jones<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I join the Florida League of Cities in recognizing Commissioner Fernandez for always showing up to Tallahassee ready to work collegially and across party lines,&#8221; said <b>Florida<\/b> <b>Senadora estatal Ileana Garc\u00eda<\/b>. &#8220;Alex is a tireless advocate for preserving the unique character and heritage of our district &#8211; especially the rich Art Deco legacy of Miami Beach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Beyond opposing harmful legislation, Commissioner Fernandez has been equally committed to building solutions through collaboration. He is working with real estate industry leaders on legislation to protect buyers and tenants from delays in condominium approvals and partnered with the city&#8217;s Office of the Inspector General to propose one of Florida&#8217;s first municipal ordinances protecting condominium owners from predatory buyout practices. He also led the first major update to the city&#8217;s Historic Preservation Code in over 40 years &#8211; an effort shaped through dialogue with preservationists, architects and development professionals to ensure long-term protections for historic districts while addressing evolving community needs.<\/p>\n<p>Adoptada un\u00e1nimemente por la Comisi\u00f3n Municipal, la Comisionada Fern\u00e1ndez present\u00f3 la legislaci\u00f3n en respuesta a las inquietudes planteadas por los legisladores estatales y para actualizar la ordenanza de cuatro d\u00e9cadas de antig\u00fcedad. Esta ordenanza agiliza y moderniza el proceso de revisi\u00f3n del desarrollo en distritos hist\u00f3ricos, ampl\u00eda las aprobaciones administrativas para cambios menores y reestructura la revisi\u00f3n voluntaria en dos etapas para proyectos complejos. Cabe destacar que la ordenanza incentiva la preservaci\u00f3n al ampliar las exenciones del impuesto predial para las renovaciones de edificios hist\u00f3ricos comerciales y multifamiliares.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner Fernandez continues to advocate for policies that reflect the values and priorities of local communities &#8211; guided by a belief that good governance begins with listening, learning and leading with integrity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n###<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\n<\/em><em>Para solicitar este material en formato alternativo, un int\u00e9rprete de lenguaje de se\u00f1as (se requiere aviso con cinco d\u00edas de anticipaci\u00f3n), informaci\u00f3n sobre el acceso para personas con discapacidades y\/o cualquier adaptaci\u00f3n para revisar cualquier documento o participar en cualquier procedimiento patrocinado por la ciudad, llame al 305.604.2ADA (2232) y seleccione 1 para ingl\u00e9s o 2 para espa\u00f1ol, luego la opci\u00f3n 6; los usuarios de TTY pueden llamar al 711 (Servicio de retransmisi\u00f3n de Florida).<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download Press Release Share: for immediate release August 8, 2025 &#8211; Miami Beach official recognized for advocacy efforts during the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":361,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_searchwp_excluded":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1664],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-387644","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2025-press-releases"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
