MIAMI — City of Miami commissioners are meeting Thursday and expected to vote on a contract extension for Ultra Music Festival.
The extension is for a proposed 20-year operating agreement for the annual downtown event.
Meanwhile, the Downtown Neighbors Alliance is pushing for the city to delay their vote so that residents have an opportunity to voice their concerns about continuing the partnership.
“Residents are not asking for the impossible, we are asking for a seat at the table,” said James Torres, president of the Downtown Neighbors Alliance. “A deferral is not only reasonable, it is necessary to set the right tone. If a 20-year deal is approved without engagement, what incentive will there be for Ultra to listen to residents afterward?”
Additionally, the DNA has filed a complaint against Ultra “related to its obligations under the existing settlement agreement.”
Local 10 News reached out to Ultra for comment but have not heard back as of the time of this story’s publication.
