Town Of Golden Beach

What Town Of Golden Beach does

The Town of Golden Beach is a small municipal government entity located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, serving an exclusive coastal residential community along the Atlantic coast between Hallandale Beach and Sunny Isles Beach. With approximately 27 employees, the town delivers core municipal services through structured departments including a Town Manager, Town Clerk, Building and Zoning, Finance, Public Works, Resident Services, and a Police Department with specialized units (K-9, Marine Patrol, Motor Unit, Ocean Rescue, and Patrol Division). The governing body consists of an elected Mayor (Glenn Singer), Vice Mayor (Jessie Mendal), and three Councilmembers (Judy Lusskin, Bernard Einstein, Kenneth Bernstein), with executive administration led by a Town Manager and supported by a Town Attorney.

The town operates on a technology stack composed of third-party municipal SaaS platforms: BuildingLink powers the resident services portal for facility reservations, vehicle transponder/ID card requests, and amenities registration; CodeRED provides emergency notification communications; Laserfiche manages public records including agendas, minutes, and resolutions; and Aclarian LLC handles accounting and financial software. Public-facing digital channels include a bi-monthly Golden Beach Town Magazine, video archives of council meetings, and the BuildingLink self-service portal. The town is currently executing capital improvement projects including Wellness Center construction and the reimagining of Tweddle Park with new playground equipment, bocce court, putting greens, and privacy wall.

Revenue is derived from four primary streams: property tax revenue (ad valorem taxes at a combined millage rate of 7.99 mills for FY 2025-2026), building permit and regulatory fees, recreation facility fees (beach pavilion, tennis/pickleball court reservations), and stormwater fees. The customer base is a single persona: residents and property owners of the town, serving both full-time and part-time occupants. The town maintains mutual aid agreements with neighboring police departments (City of Miami Beach, Miami-Dade County, Bal Harbour, Miami Shores, North Miami Beach) for law enforcement cooperation, a Joint Project Agreement with FDOT for highway maintenance, and consulting agreements for government relations.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Town of Bal Harbour: Exclusive coastal municipality in northern Miami-Dade County with comparable affluent, gated character. Operates its own police department and shares mutual aid arrangements with Golden Beach, making service model and resident base closely aligned.
• Town of Surfside: Small oceanfront municipality immediately adjacent to Golden Beach on the barrier island. Provides a directly comparable mix of residential services, police, building/zoning, and beach-adjacent amenities to a similarly small population.
• Village of Indian Creek: Ultra-exclusive island municipality in Miami-Dade with a very small resident base and high property values. The closest comparable in terms of scale, exclusivity, and reliance on a property-tax-driven revenue model.
• Town of Bay Harbor Islands: Compact, predominantly residential municipality in Miami-Dade with similar small-town governance structure, own police department, and emphasis on community amenities. Operates at a comparable scale and serves a comparable resident profile.
• Town of Sunny Isles Beach: Coastal municipality directly bordering Golden Beach to the south. Provides the same core municipal services to a residential population with significant coastal exposure, and shares the same regional operating environment.

Broad incumbents

• City of Miami Beach: Major coastal municipality with which Golden Beach holds a mutual aid agreement. Operates overlapping services (police, building, recreation, emergency management) but at far greater scale and complexity, serving as a regional anchor.
• City of Hallandale Beach: Larger neighboring coastal city that borders Golden Beach to the north. Provides a wider portfolio of municipal services at greater scale, including many of the same functions (police, building, recreation) but serves a much larger and more diverse population.
