City of Miami Gardens Regular Council Meeting March 25th, 2026

The City of Miami Gardens held a regular council meeting on March 25, 2026, where key procurement-related discussions included the ratification of a collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police covering October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2028. The council also deliberated extensively on a zoning ordinance amendment to rezone a property from single-family residential to heavy industrial to allow expansion of an existing warehouse operated by El Dorado Furniture. The proposal included traffic and design modifications, but faced significant public opposition due to concerns about increased traffic, environmental and air quality impacts, and effects on residential neighborhoods. The council ultimately voted against the rezoning ordinance. Additionally, the council approved a resolution to evaluate the city’s operational schedule for potential changes to a five-day or hybrid workweek to improve public access and service delivery. No new capital projects or vendor contracts were awarded during the meeting, but the discussions highlighted community concerns about environmental health and the need for further air quality studies before future industrial expansions.
