Approval of the amount of taxes for the operation of the city for the business year 2026-2027. Approval of the use of the funds determined in the House plan. Approval of a transfer of capital returns from the water and wastewater funds to the general funds. Enhancement of the city administrator to implement change in household income and or expenses. To provide or not provide the funds needed during the household year and to change the household of the previous household year to facilitate the end of the year. Promotion of separability and date of entry into force. In view of the fact that the city manager has recommended the annual budget of the city of North Miami, Florida for the business year that ends on October 1 and starts on September 30, 2027, which is included here as System A, and in view of the fact that public hearings on the consultation of the tax and annual budget will take place on September 4, 2026 and September 15, 2026 in the City Council, as prescribed in Chapter 200 of the Florida Statutes, and in view of the fact that that the mayor and the city council would like to approve the final budget for the city for October 1, 2026 and the end of the business year on September 30, 2027 and would like to approve that this amount will be raised by taxes for the operation of the city in the business year 2026-2027. Therefore, it is now ordered by the Mayor and City Council of the City of North Miami, Florida, that section 1 of the Household Plan be approved and accepted. The Household Plan of the City of North Miami for the year 2026-2027, which is added here as System A, will be approved and accepted here. Section 2.

Household changes, income and or expenses for purpose-based or non-purpose-based approvals, from means according to demand during the year of the household, and the household of the previous year of the household to be changed to facilitate the year-end process. Abschnitt 3. Ausgaben der im genehmigten Haushalt bewilligten Mittel, die den verschiedenen Abteilungen im Haushalt zugewiesen wurden, können von den Direktoren jeder Abteilung mit Zustimmung des Stadtverwalters gemäß den Bestimmungen der Stadtverfassung und den geltenden Verordnungen ausgegeben werden. Expenses of money, including but not limited to corporate funds and internal service funds, as well as consumable trust fund funds, under circumstances in which additional income is generated by use fees or deductions to compensate the costs for the provision of a service for residents or other urban departments, must not be limited by estimated means, but by actual income. And in this context, the actually earned income is considered appropriate. Section 4 Capital income from water and wastewater fund assets The household covers a transfer from the water and wastewater operation and maintenance fund to the general fund that corresponds to the capital income that the taxpayers would receive if the supply company were to be sold, if it were to be sold. The transfer for the household year 2026-2027 will be calculated with 7.5% of the investment amount by 30 September 2025.

13:31Speaker 2

Yes. Is this the actual household? I'm sorry.

13:35 – 14:04Speaker 6

This is uhu. We don't have... Oh, I thought the house was G. G is the... That's the register card E. Oh, that's E? Okay, that's what I thought. So, which one is G? This is... This is... The one here. G is the... G is the final one, final one, after we've all conducted our discussion. Oh, so G is... Is G where the... People come to the table.

14:04Speaker 5

Okay. Well, I've opened a public meeting. Open it again. Wait, this is G for the reserve.

14:09Speaker 7

That's okay, that's okay, okay. The actual budget.

14:13Speaker 5

I understand.

14:14Speaker 7

Okay. Correct. So, go ahead. I will read out the changes to the budget.

14:19Speaker 2

But is that for E or is that for G? That's for E. Okay.

14:23Speaker 4

And then you can... Yes, we'll find out. Thank you. We'll open it.

14:28 – 15:02Speaker 2

Good evening, mayor and council. Angela Reyes, financial director of the city of North Miami. I will read out the changes to the budget for the business year 2026. Ich werde das nach Abteilungen aufschlüsseln. Für Bürgermeister und Rat gab es eine Erhöhung um 40.000 Dollar. Von 200 noch 17.000. Das sind 1.034. Dollar auf 2. 57 Stunden. Voila. Das ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass eine Teilzeitstelle in eine Vollzeitstelle umgewandelt wurde. Welche Teilzeitstelle war das?

15:04Speaker 5

Unterstützung bei der Betreuung von Wählern.

15:07Speaker 4

Okay. For which one? Do we know which one?

15:13Speaker 6

I can't say anything.

15:15Speaker 4

You know it.

15:15Speaker 3

Because we didn't understand it, okay. Okay. In public works, there was a change of $370,000, which led to the budget of $257,046. And in parks and recreation, there was a

15:36 – 17:06Speaker 5

increase of public works for beautification and road beautification and road improvement and road maintenance. In the parks and recreation areas, there was a return of 410,000 dollars. I will go through the changes. There was an additional event that was not mentioned in the budget for the Copper Bridge event. There is a brewfest that went from 135 to 100,000 dollars. The initiatives of the mayor and council went from 25 to 20,000 dollars. The Naomi Festival went from 800 to 600,000 dollars. Mother's Day went from 50,000 to 30,000 dollars. The barbecue on Memorial Day was painted. The community barbecue on Labor Day went back from $25,000 to $5,000. The Thanksgiving breakfast went back from $25,000 to $15,000. The government week activities that were planned at $60,000 went back to $40,000. The vegan festival went back from $45,000 to $20,000. Winter Wonderland grew from $48,000 to $48,000. And the Winter National Parade grew from $245,000 to $200,000. These are all changes that were made. Okay, thanks.

17:08 – 17:24Speaker 4

Um, public? Is that all with the presentation? That's all. Thanks. So we go back and reopen the public hearing on register card E. Since there is no public hearing, please come forward. The public hearing is- You're up.

17:24Speaker 7

I see the friends in the audience who want to speak to the budget. To the budget. Or create an app that you know, now it's your turn.

17:33Speaker 4

And we have two microphones, if you would please use the two microphones. Please get in touch. Good afternoon.

17:42 – 18:34Speaker 5

Becky Jones, president, friends of the North Miami Library. I have not heard anything about a change in a part-time job. Now about the creation of a full-time job in the library for a young librarian. That's We have so many young people coming to the library every day that we really need someone who only takes care of the many students who come to the library. At the moment we have a person who takes care of the young people, the children and the young people, and that really doesn't work. That would cost about $100,000, including salary and social benefits. We have sent several e-mails to all of you to submit this application.

18:34Speaker 6

Thank you, Ms. Jones. I don't have any... Yes... Really?

18:44Speaker 2

Yes, Mokka's friends have sent e-mails with applications and I took part in their last board meeting.

18:52 – 20:02Speaker 1

Hello, Deborah Davies, 115565 NE 127th Street. Thank you for letting me speak about the household here. I just want to thank you for supporting MoCA all these years. And it seems as if you would still do that. That's why I really want to thank you. Because I have the feeling that Amendment 3 is our real community space, which is very frightening. I don't know what needs to be said, but I think it's really important that we preserve our humanity. It is a place where everyone in the community, whether young or old, our really multifaceted community can come together. And I think it is also a real star that brings North Miami to the map. I really want to thank you for that. I also think that the library and our parks are really important to keep these public spaces open and to continue to finance these spaces. If you could raise the money to repair the Enchanted Forest, it would really be great for my neighbors. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

20:02 – 20:26Speaker 4

Okay, I don't see any. Public hearing that takes place once or twice. The public hearing on the 2026 Household Plan for the city of North Miami is closed. Sehr geehrter Herr Stadtrat.

20:27 – 20:55Speaker 2

Sehr geehrte Frau Verwaltungsleiterin Was die Bibliothek betrifft, habe ich an der Sitzung des Vorstands der Freunde der Bibliothek teilgenommen und sehe die Notwendigkeit zusätzlicher Hilfe in der Bibliothek. Insbesondere, da sie ein zusätzliches Teamprogramm einrichten. Ich weiß nicht, ob sie eine Vollzeitstelle in Betracht ziehen können, aber vielleicht wäre im Moment eine Teilzeitstelle machbar, um einige der benötigten Dienste in der Bibliothek zu unterstützen.

20:58 – 21:12Speaker 3

Wir haben uns das zunächst angesehen und es stand auf unserer Liste, aber wie Sie wissen, haben wir die meisten davon auf dem gleichen Niveau belassen. Ich habe mit dem Bibliotheksdirektor gesprochen, dass wir das zur Jahresmitte evaluieren werden, um zu sehen, wo wir budgettechnisch stehen und ob wir dort ein paar Teilzeitstellen schaffen können.

21:13Speaker 2

Okay, denn ich weiß, dass dieser Haushalt wie viele 22 Stellen hat. Sie haben neue Stellen erwähnt?

21:18Speaker 3

Ja, aber hauptsächlich, weil wir den Park finanzieren müssen, müssen.

21:22Speaker 2

Für Kettney?

21:24 – 21:47Speaker 3

Für den Park und die Eröffnung und das Galvin Center für Teenager, weil wir es nicht genutzt haben. The list is on the screen and we will see in the middle of the year whether we can add part-time jobs. However, as you know, we will set up the full-time jobs step by step with those we have added, and not immediately. Oh, don't you finance the whole year?

21:48Speaker 2

Another question. You mentioned the Ketney Park. When will this be opened? Since you are taking it into the household.

21:53Speaker 3

At the moment we assume that it will be in autumn.

21:57Speaker 2

Autumn of this year?

22:01Speaker 5

And that's the complete opening of the park, or is it just a partial opening?

22:05Speaker 2

We're still working on that with the construction company. That's it for me now, Mr. Mayor.

22:11 – 25:17Speaker 6

Thank you very much, Deputy Mayor. City Councilor Berns. Oh, okay. First of all, I would like to talk to the employees of the household department. and the mayor's office. You all have worked very hard to get us to a point where we are responsible for the money of our taxpayers. I appreciate all the effort that has been made to do this. I just want to make a few small remarks, because I have already made my opinion clear in the last hearing. I think the special event is still far too expensive. We have too many of them. Some districts receive much more special events than others. And I think that even a reduction in costs of $600,000 for a one-day event is extremely much and does not put us in good light, especially with regard to the upcoming amendment 3 and a few other things that we urgently need. Aber ich werde das jetzt nicht weiter ausführen. Jeder muss seinen eigenen Wählern Rede und Antwort stehen. Ich erwähne das nur, weil uns viele Leute ständig wegen der wahrgenommenen Veranstaltungen beschimpfen. Aber Herr slash Frau Geschäftsführerin, ich möchte etwas fragen. Sie erhalten zusätzliche Gelder für die 100-Jahr-Feier. Wir haben letztes Jahr 100 Millionen investiert. 500,000 went to the signs and then 500 remained, which the 100-Year Celebration Committee or its office has used for 100-Year Celebration events during this year. You apply for an additional 500,000 and under this category are beautification, signage and so on. The problem I have with subsuming under 100 years of celebration and not under public works, roads or the like is that I am sure that if when we have a big anniversary party that should run over ticket sales and so on. It will happen in February. I don't know if any of this money will be used for it, but additional 500,000 or 1.5 million dollars that we spend under the blanket of 100-year celebrations and improvements is a lot of money. I know how the first 500,000 dollars were spent. I don't know how the second 500,000 dollars were spent. And I don't know how the next 500,000 dollars will be spent either. That worries me a lot. Let's get to the Department of Economic Development. I think the deputy head is active in both functions, from the economic department to the Department of Economic Development. That is your intention.

25:17 – 25:28Speaker 5

As already said, there are several positions that we have within. To move forward and to make savings.

25:30 – 28:17Speaker 6

Okay, because that's a million-dollar department. And I don't know if we got the benefit for the money. The Department for Economic Development has actually done something new. I would like to get a report at some point about what they started and ended or whether it is something that was brought in thanks to the efforts of this department and not something that came anyway and we just helped it. We invest millions of dollars in the CAA, which accounts for 70% of our business area and they invest a lot of money in economic development, economic settlement, economic renovation and so on. I don't know if we... Some of their services are duplicated or not. Part of the renovation in the city is simply done organically, just because people want to be on Biscayne Boulevard or Solimia, or now they want to be on Dixie Highway, and the 125th Street is slowly waking up to life. So that's also a problem area, but I'll leave it at that. Die Kupferbrücke war letztes Jahr da. Ich sehe das nicht als besonderes Ereignis. Das war immer nur ein Zuschuss, weil sie das ganze Jahr über für ihre Programme vorgesehen ist. Es kostet nur 15.000 Dollar und hat eine unglaubliche Reichweite in der Stadt erzielt. Ein weiterer Problembereich, den Sie angesprochen haben, ist das Arch Creek Preserve. Es gibt Geld für das Arch Creek Preserve. Es gibt Geld für Enchanted Forest, um die Arbeit fortzusetzen, an der die Mitarbeiter der Stadt dieses Jahr gearbeitet haben. Sie bringen den Park unter Kontrolle. Sie leisten dort großartige Arbeit, ihr Manager und ihr Team. Ein weiterer Problembereich ist, We lost two horses last year and I suggest that we spend more money. Last week we lost a horse. There is only one left for the ridden patrol. They are not that expensive. I think $25,000 would replace these two service horses. We already have a budget for taking care of three horses for food, vet, USW. That is already planned for it. Unless someone in the audience wants to spend a check of $25,000 to sponsor two horses. I think that's something we have to bring back to Vordermann. At this point I have nothing more to say. Thank you. Thank you very much, thank you. City Council Burns? I have nothing to say either. City Council Charles, it's in ...

28:18 – 29:07Speaker 8

Thank you very much. Good evening and I would like to thank our city administrator and her team for the conscientious work to provide us with a balanced budget. And all the questions and comments that I had at our first meeting were answered We're doing something and we know that we can't do everything we've talked about, but at least we can start with a reduction. That would be really helpful. And I'm ready, as I said, ready for a very good evening. And Mr. Mayor, I'm just stopping here and waiting for you. I think I was faster.

29:08Speaker 4

That went fast. Thank you very much, Mr. City Council. Good evening, everyone.

29:17 – 29:49Speaker 3

Once again, thank you to our city administration and our employees, the housing and finance department, for making sure that we have a balanced household. I would like to thank the administration for ensuring that the district 3 residents have the youth program that they need, that they have the senior program that they need, that they have the parking money that they need, that they have the infrastructure money that they need to ensure that the district 3 residents have a better quality of life. So thank you very much. That's all from me for tonight. Thank you very much.

29:50 – 30:05Speaker 7

Um, I think you're referring to Ms. City Manager in the name of all of us, in the name of... Thank you very much to the housing department and to you for your work on this balanced household and thank you very much to the inhabitants of the city of North Miami. May I make a decision? But we already have a decision in the plenum.

30:05Speaker 4

And did we do that?

30:07Speaker 7

Okay, I'm sorry.

30:09Speaker 2

City Councilor Charles submitted an application that was supported by City Councilor Estimate Irving. May I make a unanimous vote?

30:17Speaker 6

Deputy Mayor Timothy. Wait a minute, sorry, Timothy. It's E, right? It's...

30:21Speaker 2

Okay, we got it. Okay, thanks. Yes, it's E before we move on. Yes, all right.
