The City of Miami Beach is a municipal government operating under a commission-manager framework. The policy-making body consists of a mayor and six commissioners, while a city manager is charged with enforcing policies and directing the city's daily operations. Incorporated in 1915, the city spans 7.1 square miles on a barrier island with Biscayne Bay to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. It serves a diverse mix of international visitors and a growing residential community. Its administration emphasizes fiscal prudence and leadership, guided by a defined mission, vision, and strategic plan intended to improve how people live, work, and enjoy the city. In 2026, the city launched an E-Bike Squad in the Art Deco District as part of public-safety and mobility initiatives.
