Meeting

The Hialeah City Council convened on June 9, 2026, to address a heavy slate of land-use amendments, zoning variances, and municipal service contracts. A major focus of the meeting was a series of high-density residential and commercial rezoning requests. These included a second reading to transition a property from Liberal Retail Commercial (C-2) to a Multiple Family District (R-3-3) with setback variances, and a small-scale development amendment to the Future Land Use Map shifting a parcel from Commercial to Medium-Density Residential. The Council also initiated a first reading for a Special Primary Election scheduled for November 3, 2026, to fill the vacancy for City Council Member Group Seat II, aligning it with the county's general election date. Ceremonial presentations opened the session, honoring several long-serving city employees for 25 and 30 years of service. On the procurement and contracting front, the Council advanced several key business items. Notable moves included authorizing a $28,700 no-bid consulting contract with Walter H. Keller, Inc. to update the city's impact fee schedules for critical services like police, fire rescue, and parks. The Council also authorized a $318,775.20 piggyback purchase order with Motorola Solutions Inc., leveraging a Broward County contract for equipment and services, and approved a performance agreement with Vid Music Group, LLC to secure the artist "Wisin" for an upcoming city event. Watch for the second reading and public hearing regarding the Special Use Permit (SUP) for Item 15.B, which has been officially deferred and rescheduled for the August 11, 2026, meeting at 5:30 p.m. per the applicant's request.
