On November 20th, at the request of the PHS Islands Association, the City Commissioners unanimously passed Resolution 2024-34407. This action  addresses noise disturbances and public safety concerns stemming from commercial-grade events held on the islands during the high-impact 2024 Art Basel week.

The Association thanks Commissioner Fernandez for sponsoring the resolution and Mayor Meiner for his support. We also appreciate the support of all the Commissioners who passed the item unanimously.
