City Leaders Gather at City Hall for Legislative Session

The Miami City Commission is scheduled to meet today, Thursday, February 26, 2026, for a regularly scheduled session at City Hall. The meeting, which is set to begin at 9:00 a.m., serves as the primary legislative gathering for the city’s elected officials to address municipal governance, policy adjustments, and community development initiatives.

Commissioners will convene in the City Commission chambers located at 3500 Pan American Drive. These regular sessions are a cornerstone of the city's democratic process, providing a forum for the discussion of land use and zoning requests, the approval of municipal contracts, and the review of reports from various city departments. While the specific agenda for today’s session covers a wide array of routine city business, the focus remains on ensuring the efficient delivery of services and the maintenance of public infrastructure across Miami’s diverse neighborhoods.

Opportunities for Public Participation

A significant portion of today’s proceedings is dedicated to public engagement. City officials have emphasized the importance of resident feedback in the decision-making process. Members of the community are encouraged to participate in the following ways:

  • In-Person Testimony: Residents may provide live public comment at City Hall during the designated public comment period, which is expected to begin shortly after the meeting is called to order.
  • Online Submissions: For those unable to attend in person, the city has provided an online comment form. Comments submitted through this portal are distributed to the elected officials and the city administration to be included in the official public record.
  • Live Broadcasts: The meeting will be broadcast live through several channels, including the official city website, various social media platforms, and local cable channels 77 and 99.

Additional Government Activity and Schedule Changes

In addition to the main Commission meeting, the Public Art Professional Advisory Committee is scheduled to meet at 6:00 p.m. this evening at 444 SW 2nd Avenue. This committee will review various public art project proposals and prepare recommendations for future installations throughout the city. This session highlights the city's ongoing commitment to cultural enrichment and the enhancement of public spaces.

Residents should also be aware of a schedule change regarding the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency (SEOPW CRA). Although originally scheduled for late morning, official notices indicate that the regular meeting for the CRA has been cancelled for today. Any items originally slated for that session are expected to be rescheduled for a future date.

As today’s Commission meeting progresses, the city administration remains focused on transparency and accessibility. Updates regarding specific votes or emergency items added to the agenda will be made available through the city's legislative hub as the session continues into the afternoon.
