At the October 27, 2026, regular meeting of the North Miami City Council, members considered several purchasing and contract items. The council approved renewal of employee medical coverage with Sigma, with a reported 9.5% increase, and selection of Aetna for dental coverage, about 8% less than Sigma’s dental pricing with coverage and provider access described as essentially unchanged. The city also renewed a $75,000 wellness fund. The council approved up to $165,000 for fiscal year 2026–27 Thanksgiving-related community activities, including the parade, turkey distribution, supplies, and events; the motion passed 5–0. It also approved a contract extension with MT Oley LLC, not to exceed $400,000, for as-needed building inspection and plan-review services using a City of Doral contract. Staff said the costs are covered by permit fees rather than the general fund; that motion passed 5–0.

The council separately approved, 5–0, a conditional-use modification related to the Redwood development, covering proposed site changes, parking enhancements, and recreation facilities; the project must proceed through site-plan review and other approval steps. No contract award or expenditure was identified for that item at this stage. The meeting also included presentations and community announcements, including a recycling-cart initiative with Waste Pro and a Miami-Dade County Public Schools presentation. The transcript does not clearly capture the vote result for the insurance item.
