City MANAGER'S OFFICE - F.A.Q.'s

When is the next City Council meeting?

North Miami City Council meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month at 7:00 p.m., in the City Council Chambers of City Hall, 776 N.E. 125th Street, 2nd. Floor. However, during the summer months (July and August), the City Council usually takes a recess and only meets on the second Tuesday in July and the fourth Tuesday in August. Also, in December, the City Council usually only meets on the second Tuesday of that month, in observance of the holiday season.

a) The City Council agenda is prepared by the City Manager's Office one week prior to the Council meeting. If you wish to be placed on the agenda, you must submit a letter to the City Manager requesting to be placed on a particular agenda. The letter must reach our office (either via regular mail, facsimile or hand delivered), no later than the Tuesday preceding the Council meeting at 12:00 Noon. Your letter should specify the meeting you wish to be present at, as well as the topic you wish to discuss. Upon receipt of your letter, the City Manager will review the request, and if placed on the agenda, you will receive a copy of the agenda (in the mail) highlighting your placement. City Council agendas are finalized on the Thursday prior to each meeting.

b) On the fourth Tuesday of every month, there is a section on the agenda entitled "CITIZENS' FORUM". Under this section anyone can address the City Council, however, the individual is limited to speak for only three (3) minutes.

The City Council agenda is finalized on the Thursday preceding the Council meeting by 12:00 Noon. You may obtain a copy from the City Clerk's Office, located on the first floor of City Hall, you may contact the North Miami INFO line at (305) 891-4636, or by clicking here.

Who can give me information/results on a particular item that was heard before the City Council?

The City Clerk's Office is responsible for recording minutes of all City Council meetings. Following a Council meeting, you may contact the Clerk's Office for information on a particular item on the Council agenda.

When are the City Council meetings aired on the local access channel (North Miami Progress TV Channel 77)?

City Council meetings are aired live the day of the meeting on Channel 77. They are also rebroadcasted the following Wednesday at 9:00 a.m.; and Thursday, Sunday and Monday at 7:00 p.m.

Who should I speak to regarding a concern I have with the City?

The City of North Miami operates under a Council-Manager form of government. The City Manager is the Chief Executive Officer of the City. Each department is headed by a director, appointed by the City Manager, who oversees the functions of the department under the direct supervision of the City Manager. Once the concern is identified, you should discuss the matter with that particular Department Director (i.e. problem with your utility bill - you will be asked to speak to the Finance Director). If the matter is not resolved at that level, you should contact the City Manager.
