Paule Villard’s Track Record of Mismanagement and Misuse of Power

1. Excessive Spending on City Administration

Hired a part-time city attorney at $55,000 per month ($660K annually)—an absurd figure compared to an in-house legal team of four full-time attorneys plus staff.
Approved an annual salary of over $250,000 for her handpicked city manager in a city with just 44,000 residents. For comparison, the President of the United States earns $400,000 annually to serve 332 million people.
Within two months of hiring the city manager, granted him all his vacation time upfront and approved a $27,500 raise.
Increased the already bloated pay for the part-time city attorney to $60,000 per month ($720K per year).

2. Erosion of Transparency and Accountability

Regularly approved multi-million-dollar expenditures (up to $5M) in consent agendas without public discussion to avoid scrutiny.
Wrongly pushed through a $1.67 million purchase of a dilapidated, asbestos-filled building, refusing to allow public discussion on the matter.

3. Misuse of Taxpayer Funds and City Resources

Racked up a $20,000 travel bill on trips that didn’t benefit residents, including a $6,000, four-night stay at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
Used federal COVID relief funds to hand out $500,000 to a small amount of individuals, leaving thousands of residents without any assistance.
Approved taxpayer funds to print campaign tents, information materials, and paraphernalia promoting her image.

4. Disregard for Public Safety

Assigned an on-duty police officer to act as her personal chauffeur and door opener, taking the officer away from their real duties.
Flew to Haiti in what was disguised as a city trip, but was there attending a ceremony for a family member. She brought with her the Deputy Police Chief and all of this at the taxpayer expense, while also creating a staffing shortage that left residents vulnerable.
Under her leadership, morale in the police department hit an all-time low, resulting in the departure of two police chiefs in less than a year. Seasoned officers retired early or found jobs elsewhere.

5. Questionable Financial Decisions

Voted to give a city-owned building to a handpicked organization for a mere $10 per year for 10 years.
Voted to give away a $32,000 SUV to a former city employee.
Supported hiring a political operative with no experience for $150,000 per year, who simultaneously promoted her re-election campaign.

6. Self-Serving Agenda

Spent city money observing her birth country’s Independence Day with an expensive event attended by only 20 guests while neglecting the city’s 4th of July celebrations.
Voted to increase her own salary—and those of her fellow commissioners—twice in two years.
Used city staff for personal errands, such as delivering food to her home, often boasting about these moments on her social media.

7. Reckless Development Proposals

Advocated for five high-rise buildings to replace the Judge Arthur Snyder Tennis Courts, spending $67,000 on a promotional party for the project. The proposal was later found to violate Florida and Miami-Dade County laws.

What Happens if Paule Villard Wins Again?

North Miami Beach risks falling further into a cycle of corruption, financial irresponsibility, and a lack of transparency. Taxpayer dollars will continue to be wasted, critical public services will suffer, and residents will be left to foot the bill.
