The proposal will go to the county for their consideration on Nov. 20.
Miami Beach was under harsh criticism by the county in recent weeks after the city commission voted to cancel Referendum 8 on the November ballot. If passed, it wouldâve generated $10 million for the Homeless Trust by imposing a one percent tax on restaurants and bars.
The county then demanded that the city pay $10 million to support the Homeless Trust. Â
