City Commission Workshop - April 16, 2026

The City Commission Workshop for the City of Sunny Isles Beach held on April 16, 2026, focused primarily on community proclamations and infrastructure projects. Key procurement-related discussions included the presentation of a concept design for the Town Center Park renovations, with a current budget allocation of $2.9 million in the Capital Improvement Plan. The design phase contracts totaling approximately $271,250 were reviewed, with the city ready to proceed to schematic design and construction documents pending commission approval. Additionally, the Florida Department of Transportation presented the ongoing Willing Leman Causeway Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study, aimed at adding barrier-separated pedestrian and bicycle paths, with construction funding yet to be allocated. The commission also discussed enforcement and compliance issues related to city ordinances, including construction noise regulations and suitable locations for car carrier staging, though no final resolutions were reached on the latter. The fiscal year 2024-2025 audit was presented, showing a positive net position increase of $7.3 million and no audit disagreements. Sponsorship requests from the Miami-Dade League of Cities were also considered, with consensus to waive the sponsorship fee for the current event but maintain procedural requirements going forward.
