Public Works and Infrastructure Updates

The City of Miami has issued a public notice regarding the Stormwater Utility Fee, established to fund critical drainage and flood mitigation projects. Residents are reminded that these fees support the city's compliance with the Federal Clean Water Act and help maintain sustainable stormwater management systems throughout the metropolitan area.

Additionally, Miami-Dade County has finalized road closure resolutions (R-22-26 and R-23-26). These actions authorize the vacation and abandonment of certain public rights-of-way to facilitate local development and infrastructure realignment. Property owners in affected zones should consult the Clerk of the Board for specific street details.

Community Opportunities and Public Health

The City of Miami’s Art in Public Places (AIPP) division has issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Miami Founders Monument. This permanent public artwork is intended to honor the individuals who incorporated the city in 1896. Interested artists must submit their qualifications for this and other public art commissions for the new City Administration Building by the designated deadlines.

On the health front, the Florida Department of Health continues to emphasize respiratory illness prevention. Officials recommend five essential steps to protect the community: frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with symptomatic individuals, regular disinfection of high-touch surfaces, staying home when ill, and proper respiratory etiquette.
