City Commission Meeting - November 4, 2026

The Pembroke Pines City Commission meeting on November 4, 2026, included several procurement and spending actions. Commissioners unanimously approved a $552,733 work order with Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. for engineering design services for the 196th Avenue roadway expansion from Pembroke Road to Pines Boulevard; administration committed to soliciting community input during design. They also unanimously ratified an emergency repair of reinforced-concrete conveyance channels at the wastewater treatment plant headworks facility with Ginner LLC, not to exceed $129,000. During discussion, a commissioner raised concerns about recurring emergency repairs and potential premium costs; the Utilities Director described the repair as a bridge to a larger rehabilitation or replacement project, and commissioners requested information on Jacobs’ reports and the facility’s repair history to support planning.

The commission deferred indefinitely a proposed agreement with Cooper City for Pembroke Pines to continue maintaining a ficus hedge on Sheridan Street, pending clarification of the maintenance cost and related responsibilities. The meeting also addressed Amendment 3’s potential fiscal effects: the mayor cited a possible roughly $50 million reduction against the city’s $112 million property-tax budget, said the city expects a clearer estimate before January 1, and emphasized that services may need to change. The Citizens Budget Advisory Board is expected to review city spending recommendations. No other contract awards or purchasing decisions were identified.
