— Joy Malakoff Appointed to Group IV—
The Miami Beach City Commission appointed former Commissioner Joy Malakoff to the vacant Group IV commission seat.
“We’re excited to welcome Joy back onto the dais — her extensive experience, knowledge and integrity makes her a natural fit,” said Mayor Dan Gelber. “It’s also remarkable to see so many great candidates with diverse backgrounds and intellectual capacities stepping up to serve our great city.”
Malakoff served on the City Commission from 2013-2017, and previously sat on the Planning Board for 11 years (seven as chairwoman) as well as the Historic Preservation Board and Board of Adjustments. Last year, she was also an active member of the Mayor’s Blue Ribbon General Obligation Bond Committee.
“I love this city and believe my highest and best calling is public service,” said Commissioner Joy Malakoff. “I look forward to working with my colleagues on further promoting our arts and culture, improving resiliency efforts, ensuring the G.O. Bond projects move forward with efficiency and accountability, and much more.”
