The noise only lasts a few days and happens at specific times. We are informed ahead of time, so it's not a last-minute surprise. Most importantly, it represents an incredible economic opportunity. Events like this support not just hundreds, but thousands of businesses — small, independent, family- Mar owned, and Large. It is one of the major sources of income for our city and benefits 09 everyone, from Local "mom and pop" shops to bigger companies. From a Local "mom and 2026 pop" Living right in the center of the action at 50 Biscayne Blvd, Miami, I can confirm that 1:25 yes — we hear some noise. But for a few days, we can accommodate it because of the pm opportunity it brings to our community. For a few nights, we may sleep a Little Later than MDT usual, and that's manageable. Missing an opportunity that brings such important economic benefits to our city would have a far greater impact. A Little patience can go a Long way when it supports the prosperity of an entire community. Sofia Haddar Smith (single mom that own a small business) 50 Biscayne Blvd 2907 Miami, Florida 33132 A two -decade commitment is not in the best interest of our community. Locking the city into such a Long-term agreement ignores the rapid evolution of Downtown Miami as a dense residential neighborhood. Furthermore, I believe that Large-scale, high -impact RE. 10 festivals of this magnitude are no Longer compatible with Bayfront Park —our primary #1900 neighborhood green space. These types of events should be proposed for alternative 1 venues that are better equipped to handle massive crowds and noise without severely 50 Approv disrupting the daily Lives of thousands of residents. I respectfully request that the City Bisca e - Commission defer agenda item RE.10 (Fite 19001) at the March 12 meeting. This deferral yne Ultra is essential to allow for: Alternative Venue Exploration: Discussion on moving Large-scale Music events to Locations better suited for high -impact productions. Community Interest: A Festiva thorough evaluation of whether a 20-year "Lock -in" serves the public or merely a private L RLA entity. Transparent Dialogue: Meaningful engagement between the City, the Downtown Neighbors Affiance, and residents. Our public parks should prioritize the quality of Life for the people who Live here. Please support the request for a deferral to ensure the community's voice is a central part of this decision. 888 Mirk Savo Bisca o ne yne Blvd RE. 10 #1900 1 Approv e- ULtra Music Festiva L RLA Mar 09 2026 11:3 0am MDT As a Downtown resident, I support Ultra continuing at Bayfront Park and would welcome a Long-term agreement with the City. Events Like Ultra bring global visibility to Miami, generate significant economic activity, and support the many restaurants, hotels, and small businesses that are rapidly growing in the Downtown area. Living in an urban core comes with trade-offs, and major cultural and entertainment events are part of what makes cities Mar vibrant and globally competitive. Rather than Limiting these types of events, Miami should 08 continue embracing them. I would also support modern urban elements such as LED 2026 billboards that reflect the character of a dynamic global downtown. At the same time, I 3:31 encourage the City to focus on everyday quality -of -Life issues that impact residents, such pm as waLkabitity and pedestrian safety. For example, crossing Biscayne Boulevard is MDT extremely difficult because pedestrian signals are poorly timed, often appearing only every few minutes and giving roughly 14 seconds to cross the entire boulevard, which forces people to run. Improvements Like this would make a real difference for those of us who Live here every day. 19055 Submittal -Public Comments Submitted Online for the March 12, 2026 City Commission Meeting First Last Street Nam Nam Addre e e ss 335 S Afbe ViLtar Bisca rto rubia yne Blvd Agend a Item RE. 10 #1900 1 Approv e- Ultra Music Festiva L RLA Public Comment Reco rded Date As a longtime resident of Miami and living right next to the park, I feel incredibly fortunate to call downtown my home —especially given my proximity to the vibrant area where the Ultra Music Festival unfolds each year. We look forward to this event, as it brings an Mar extraordinary energy that truly sets Miami apart from other cities. While I haven't attended 08 the festival in recent years, I have fond memories of past experiences and remain 2026 convinced that its annual return shines a positive spotlight on our community, elevating the 3:12 reputation of downtown Miami. Looking to the future, I am hopeful with what that the pm festival's long-term contract wilt offer meaningful benefits for our neighborhood. I hope that MDT it promotes local small businesses, encourage ongoing urban development, and contribute to the preservation of our cherished park. As a resident of 50 Biscayne, I obviously have thoughts about the Ultra festival. It's bud, RE. 10 traffic is awful, and the music is not my favorite. And the loss of use of the excellent #1900 Bayfront Park is waaaaay too Long every year just when the weather is perfect for a walk. 50 1 But 1 Like that it brings people to downtown and presumably they frequent our Local Bisca Approv businesses. Downtown is redeveloping before our very eyes. New shops and restaurants Eric Gree Blvd e - are opening up weekly. Two 100 story towers are going up! Things may be very difference Ultra even in 5 or 10 years. So Locking in Ultra for 20 years is just way too Long. The City really Unit Music needs to opportunity to gather Local input and reevaluate much more frequently than a 20- 2501 Festiva year contract would allow. Even if we eventually keep Ultra for 20 years or more, Locking L RLA in 20 years now is more Likely than not Leaving money on the table.

The Loudspeaker reinforced very bud noise and penetrating electronic bass sounds produced by the ULTRA music events reverberate as inescapable vibrating and Mar piercing offensive thumping sounds in our homes and are extremely disturbing and harmful 08 to our health.

MDT Honorable Mayor Higgins and Councitmembers, Thank you for the opportunity to submit a public comment regarding proposed RE 15. The 5 Gyres Institute supports the creation and implementation of a procurement policy to eliminate the distribution of single -use plastics, including polystyrene, on City property to the greatest extent possible My name is Melissa Morris, and I am the State Advocacy Manager at The 5 Gyres Institute. Founded in 2010, The 5 Gyres Institute is a nonprofit organization conducting applied microplastics research and advancing science -based policy solutions. We lead the Microplastic-Free US campaign, which addresses the growing body of evidence linking plastic pollution, including single -use plastic items, to environmental and human health harms. In South Florida and across the globe, we are confronting pervasive microplastic pollution, with single -use plastic items ranging from utensils to bottles as major contributors. As single -use plastics break down, RE. 15 they don't disappear, they just become smaller pieces known as microplastics. #1899 Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than five millimeters, can be thinner than 3 a human hair and invisible to the naked eye. Because of their size, they are nearly Directi impossible to remove once they enter the environment. Today, microplastics are found in ve - the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat. And microplastics come from Imple a broad array of products on the market, including bottled water. With more than 170 trillion ment plastic particles currently estimated to be floating in our oceans, the solution must begin on Admini land,by reducing unnecessary plastic production and consumption at the source. Public strative concern is dear. Action is needed. For the past three years, The 5 Gyres Institute has Procur conducted a TrashBlitz utilizing community science to identify and mitigate plastic pollution ement across the United States. Our 2025 took place inl n 2025 our citizen science program Policy expanded across South Florida. Partners on the ground in Miami contributed to data finding bottles, food wrappers, and straws as the main items found during dean ups. Yet there are Elimin dear solutions within your reach. Reducing demand for single -use plastics decreases ate exposure to endocrine -disrupting chemicals commonly found in plastics, including Single- Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates. By limiting plastic use in city operations, you help Use reduce potential exposure pathways for our community. The growing scientific literature Plastic indicates that microplastics can be detected in human tissues, and researchers are actively s investigating potential health implications, including the role of plastic -associated chemicals. Some studies have additionally found that microplastics often carry endocrine - disrupting chemicals that interfere with hormonal development and potentially trigger early puberty— especially in girls —and heighten the risks of obesity, infertility, and hormone - related cancers. The City of Miami has an opportunity to lead by example. I am a third generation Miamian and a Florida resident. I respectfully urge you to vote yes on RE15 and move forward with directing the City Manager to create and implement a procurement policy to eliminate the distribution of single -use plastics, including polystyrene, on City property to the greatest extent possible. This policy represents a meaningful and practical step toward reducing plastic pollution locally white contributing to broader environmental solutions. I respectfully urge you to vote yes.

Victo Ilan N RE. 10 I am writing as a Downtown -adjacent resident to respectfully request that the Commission Mar ria co Bays #1900 defer Agenda Item RE.10 (File 19001)regarding the proposed 20-year agreement for the 08 hore 1 Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park. A decision of this magnitude involving one of Miami's 2026 Dr Approv most important public parks should not move forward without greater transparency and 3:06 e - meaningful community input. Residents who are directly impacted by the event have not pm Ultra had adequate opportunity to review the proposal or participate in a public discussion. A MDT Music tong -term commitment affecting park access, neighborhood quality of Life and the future Festiva use of Bayfront Park deserves a more thorough and transparent process. For these L RLA reasons, I respectfully urge the Commission to defer this item and allow time for additional First Last Street Nam Nam Addre e e ss Ann Bfac kwefL Agend a Item community engagement before considering any long-term agreement. Thank you for your punbucd.otmment I am writing to express my strong objection to granting a lease for the Ultra Music Festival to continue operating at Bayfront Park. While I recognize that large events can bring economic activity to Miami, the significant impacts on downtown residents, park access, and the surrounding community should not be overlooked. Bayfront Park is one of the few RE. 10 accessible public green spaces in the urban core, and dosing it for extended periods to #1900 accommodate a private, ticketed event limits public use of a public asset. In past years, 1000 1 the festival has brought substantial noise, congestion, and disruption to the surrounding Bisca Approv neighborhoods and businesses. Residents and workers in the area are forced to endure yne e - days of extremely bud music, restricted access, and increased traffic. The scale and Blvd Ultra intensity of the event are simply not compatible with a centrally located public park 4702 Music surrounded by homes, hotels, and offices. In addition, there are concerns about the strain Festiva placed on city services, security, sanitation, and environmental impacts to the park itself. L RLA These issues should be carefully weighed against the benefits when considering whether such an event should be granted long-term access to public and. I respectfully urge the Commission to prioritize the interests of Miami residents and the preservation of Bayfront Park as a public space, and to deny or reconsider any lease that would allow Ultra Music Festival to continue using the park. 5910 San Mois NE dy e 6th Court I am writing to respectfully urge the City Commission to defer Agenda Item RE.10 (File 19001) at the March 12 Commission meeting regarding the proposed 20-year contract for the Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park. This proposal would shape the future of one of Miami's most iconic public parks for two decades, affecting not only Downtown residents but the broader community that relies on Bayfront Park as a shared civic space. Such a significant decision requires meaningful public engagement and careful deliberation, neither of which has occurred. A single Zoom presentation with one-way communication does not constitute adequate community involvement. Residents, park users, and stakeholders deserve a transparent process that includes public workshops, open dialogue, and a full review of impacts before the City commits public parkland to a private festival operator for twenty years. A 20-year contract is deeply problematic for several reasons: 1. It Binds Future City Leadership A twenty-year agreement would lock multiple future City Commissions and administrations into terms negotiated today. Miami is evolving rapidly, RE. 10 particularly Downtown. Committing public parkland for two decades severely limits the #1900 City's ability to adapt to future needs or explore better uses of the park. 2. Public Parkland 1 Should Not Be Controlled Long -Term by a Private Event Bayfront Park is a public waterfront Approv park meant for all residents. A mufti -decade contract effectively prioritizes a commercial e - music festival over community access and flexible programming for the people of Miami. 3. Ultra Quality -of -Life Impacts Are Significant Ultra brings substantial noise, street closures, Music congestion, security perimeters, and disruption to Downtown neighborhoods. Since Ultra Festiva first began operating here, the number of residents Living nearby has increased L RLA dramatically. These residents deserve a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their homes and daily Lives. 4. The City Needs FufL Financial Transparency Before entering into a mufti -decade agreement, the public deserves a dear accounting of the true costs and benefits, including park restoration, policing, sanitation, transportation management, and Long-term park maintenance. 5. Long -Term Environmental and Park Impacts Must Be Studied Repeated Large-scale events place stress on park infrastructure, Landscaping, and the waterfront environment. A 20-year commitment should not be approved without an independent evaluation of the Long-term impacts to the park itself. Bayfront Park is one of Miami's most important civic spaces, and decisions affecting its future must be made with transparency, public input, and careful consideration. For these reasons, I respectfully request that the City Commission defer Agenda Item RE.10 and initiate a meaningful public engagement process before considering any Long-term agreement for Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park. Thank you for your time and for your service to the residents of Miami.

This decision will have profound impact on the Bayfront Community and should not move forward without full Mar engagement with the community. There is no immediate rush for this extension since the 08 License agreement does not expire until 5/31/27. The number one complaint from residents 2026 surveyed is the noise level which needs to be addressed. The contract needs to be 7:31 renegotiated not extended in its current form. If any of the commissioners had to endure am the same noise LeveLs we do inside our units which exceed the normal code levels (about MDT 65 decibels) they would not allow this concert at all. The ULTRA festival is a blight for Miami as it disrupts traffic for a month in the downtown and surrounding areas, it invites hundreds of thousands of visitors who come and then go making an ungodly mess in the process, and who consistently show zero respect the neighborhood whatsoever. In simple words, ULTRA is a city -sanctioned event of chaos, Mar debauchery and disrespect to the downtown residents. If ULTRA continues in Bayfront 09 Park, the Miami downtown residents wilt inevitably vacate the area since we are 2026 represented obviously by public officials who do not respect us. Think of this: all the money 5:02 coming into the coffers of the city wilt be wiped out by the devaluation of properties in pm downtown Miami, and the inevitable toss of tax revenue. Should your decision be favorable MDT to granting ULTRA a single extra year in Miami downtown, and God help us if you allow for 20 years as being discussed, you Lose me as a resident and your certainty Lose my vote.
