City Service Update: Official Public Hearings, Health Advisories, and Conservation Notices

Public Hearing: Fontainebleau Miami Beach Redevelopment

The Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board is convening today, Tuesday, February 10, 2026, to deliberate on a significant proposal regarding the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. The board will consider an outdoor amenity redevelopment project aimed at balancing historic preservation with modern resort needs. The proposal, which has received support from local tourism and hotel associations, focuses on site improvements rather than footprint expansion. Residents are encouraged to monitor the proceedings as the board evaluates the balance between preserving iconic architectural integrity and enhancing the city's economic assets.

Health Advisory: Measles Monitoring

The Florida Department of Health (DOH) continues to monitor a cluster of measles cases across the state. As of this week, officials have confirmed 15 illnesses statewide, with at least one confirmed case in Miami-Dade County. Residents are advised to check their immunization records and ensure they are up to date on the MMR vaccine. Symptoms to watch for include high fever, cough, red eyes, and a distinctive rash. Health officials urge anyone experiencing symptoms to contact their healthcare provider before arriving at a medical facility to prevent further exposure.

Regional Water Shortage Warning

Due to unseasonably dry conditions, the South Florida Water Management District has issued a water shortage warning for Miami-Dade and surrounding counties. Since November, the region has received less than four inches of rain, leading to a significant soil moisture deficit in the Everglades and declining groundwater levels in the Biscayne aquifer. Officials are requesting voluntary water-use reductions, including skipping unnecessary lawn irrigation, deferring car and boat washing, and only running dishwashers or washing machines when full.

Transportation and Roadway Alerts

Motorists are reminded of ongoing infrastructure improvements affecting traffic flow. The S.R. 886/Port Boulevard roadway project is currently active, with expected lane shifts and temporary disruptions near the port entrance. Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time and follow all posted detour signs to ensure safety during these necessary signalization and pavement upgrades.
