Victor J. Rosario for Mayor — A Stronger, Safer Miami Beach

Victor J. Rosario is committed to leading Miami Beach into a new era of prosperity, safety, and opportunity. His platform is built on a foundation of serving residents first, supporting city employees, and strengthening the tourism economy that fuels our vibrant city.

1. Residents of Miami Beach
    
2. City Employees
    
3. Tourists and Visitors
    

• Local Business Owners
   
• Tourism and Hospitality Businesses
   
• Corporate Enterprises
   

How We’ll Do It:

• Conduct a comprehensive audit of city spending within the first 90 days.
   
• Cut wasteful contracts and unnecessary programs that do not benefit residents.
   
• Leverage public-private partnerships (PPPs) to fund innovation and development projects without burdening taxpayers.
   

How We’ll Do It — The Right Way, With Integrity and Impact

While the current administration rushed to implement a police salary increase after we proposed it in our campaign platform, their decision was reactive, politically motivated, and lacked fairness, planning, and long-term vision. My administration will reevaluate the compensation structure citywide to ensure equity, retention, and performance-based rewards — not just last-minute election gimmicks.

• Conduct a Citywide Pay Equity Audit:
  Immediately review all departments — police, EMS, firefighters, bus drivers, trolley operators, and city staff — to identify gaps, favoritism, or imbalances created by rushed raises.
   
• Reallocate Funds from Wasteful Projects:
  We will cancel underperforming, overpriced, or politically driven programs and redirect those funds to the public servants who make Miami Beach function every day.
   
• Create a Performance and Retention Plan:
  Introduce structured raises based on:
   
  • Years of service
     
  • Safety/performance records
     
  • Certifications and continuing education
    This ensures we’re rewarding loyalty and results, not just political optics.
     
• Establish a City Workers Council:
  Form a formal body of representatives from EMS, police, fire, public transit, and administrative departments to:
   
  • Give feedback
     
  • Collaborate on benefits and training
     
  • Review compensation plans annually
    We’ll build a true partnership between City Hall and City Staff, not a top-down mandate.
     
• Transparency First:
  Publish all raise and compensation plans in a public portal so residents can see exactly how funds are spent and which employees are receiving performance-based rewards.
   

Bottom Line:
My administration will fix what the current one rushed and mishandled.
We believe in fair pay for every city worker — not just those used for political advantage.
