Miami Beach Commission and City Advisory Boards Convene for Thursday Sessions

Local Government Active with Commission and Committee Meetings Today

Miami-area government activities are in full swing this Thursday, February 5, 2026, as both the City of Miami and the City of Miami Beach host a series of pivotal sessions. From high-level commission deliberations on the beach to technical committee reviews in the urban core, today’s schedule highlights the ongoing legislative and administrative priorities of the region. These meetings follow a busy start to the month for local leadership, focusing on public input, infrastructure, and urban development.

Miami Beach City Commission Holds Regular Session

The City of Miami Beach Commission is convening today for a regular meeting at City Hall, located at 1700 Convention Center Drive. The session began at 8:30 a.m. and is expected to cover a wide range of municipal issues. A key feature of today’s proceedings is the Dr. Stanley Sutnick Citizens’ Forum. This forum, which takes place during the first Commission meeting of each month, provides residents with a dedicated platform to speak directly to elected officials. To accommodate public input, the forum is split into two sessions: one that started at 8:30 a.m. and a second scheduled for 1:00 p.m. Each speaker is limited to three minutes, ensuring a variety of voices can be heard on matters ranging from local infrastructure to public safety.

City of Miami Boards Address Development and Civil Service

Across the bay, several City of Miami boards and committees are meeting to advance technical and administrative business. The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Arts, Culture & Entertainment Committee is meeting at 9:30 a.m. at the DDA Conference Room on South Biscayne Boulevard. This committee is tasked with overseeing the city's vibrant cultural landscape and supporting initiatives that enhance Miami’s reputation as a global arts destination.

Simultaneously, the Plat and Street Committee is meeting at the Miami Riverside Center. This committee plays a critical role in the city’s growth, reviewing proposed land divisions and street-related developments to ensure they align with urban planning standards. Other significant meetings taking place today at Miami City Hall include:

• Code Enforcement Special Magistrate Meeting: Beginning at 9:00 a.m., this session addresses local ordinance violations and compliance issues.
• Civil Service Board Meeting: Starting at 10:00 a.m., this board focuses on personnel matters and the administration of the city's civil service rules.

Administration and Public Access

These meetings come as the new administration under Mayor Eileen Higgins continues its push for transparency and efficient service delivery. The Mayor’s office has emphasized a focus on respect and measurable results, a theme that is expected to resonate through the various board discussions held today. For residents unable to attend in person, most sessions are being broadcast live via the cities' official websites and social media channels. Remote participation options remain a priority for both municipalities to ensure broad community engagement in the local legislative process.
