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.

What do I need to do in order to be placed on the City Council agenda?

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.

How can I obtain a copy of the City Council agenda?

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.
