The North Miami City Council held its 2nd Budget Hearing on September 15, 2026, focusing primarily on the adoption and approval of the fiscal year 2026-2027 budget and related millage rates. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the final millage rate at 7.400 mills, representing a 3.25% increase in property taxes, and the authorization of budget amendments and expenditures across city departments. The council approved the amended Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) budget for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027, and adopted a five-year Capital Improvement Plan for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, which outlines planned capital projects. Budget adjustments were made to various departments, including a $370,000 increase for public works focused on street beautification and sidewalk improvements, and reductions in parks and recreation event funding. The council also authorized a $2.5 million addition to the reserve fund, bringing the total reserve to approximately $7.5 million. Public comments highlighted the need for additional library staffing and concerns about event funding. The meeting concluded with all budget-related resolutions passing, mostly unanimously, except one budget vote with a 4-1 split.
