Meeting

The only item with real citywide weight on this agenda was the budget amendment to the 2022 to 2023 operating and capital budget. It amends Ordinance No. 2022 595 across the General Fund and Street Maintenance and Construction accounts, which is the formal mechanism for moving money already inside the fiscal year. That matters more than the routine contract items because it resets where City Hall is actually spending, not just what it is buying. For anyone tracking priorities, this is the item that tells you whether street work, general operations, or capital timing changed after the original budget was passed. After that, the meeting was mostly internal operations and property management. The city teed up use of DOJ federal forfeiture funds through the police department, approved budgeted technology spending for computer and communications hardware, and considered a four year copier lease with Toshiba. On the property side, the notable move was a parking license agreement with 18975 Collins Condominium Association for part of the lot under the William Lehman Causeway, plus a ratification of a second amendment to the Suffolk Construction lease. Those are small on paper but important in practice because they show the city continuing to manage scarce space under the causeway through licenses and lease amendments rather than a broader policy reset. The rest was mostly civic housekeeping: a Little League in kind donation, the 2023 meeting schedule, vice mayor selection, and a stack of discussion items on FDOT subleasing, a municipal 501(c)(3), a faith based council, the Beachwalk, Lehman Underpass Park, and startup assistance, plus ceremonial presentations.

Key decisions

1. Budget Amendment No. BA2223 01 to the 2022 to 2023 Operating and Capital Improvement Budget

   Pending

   Would amend Ordinance No. 2022 595 and revise spending in the General Fund and Street Maintenance and Construction portions of the current fiscal year budget, which is the city's formal tool for shifting priorities midyear.

2. Expenditure of DOJ federal forfeiture funds by the Police Department

   Pending

   Would authorize the Chief of Police to spend federal forfeiture account funds under the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984, using a restricted funding source instead of general city revenues.

3. Purchase of computer related hardware from Software House International

   Pending

   Would approve budgeted spending for computer and communications infrastructure, signaling continued investment in core city systems rather than a new program.

4. Parking license agreement with 18975 Collins Condominium Association for the William Lehman Causeway lot

   Pending

   Would let the condominium association use a portion of the parking lot underneath the William Lehman Causeway, extending the city's practice of allocating limited public space through site specific agreements.

5. Second amendment to the lease agreement with Suffolk Construction Company, Inc.

   Pending

   Would ratify another change to the city's lease with Suffolk Construction and give the City Manager implementation authority, which is a practical sign the underlying arrangement is still being adjusted.

6. In kind donation to North Miami Beach Little League for use of Chief Fred Maas Baseball Field

   Pending

   Would provide up to $10,000 in field use support for a recreational baseball program, a modest subsidy with no broader regulatory effect.

7. Discussion regarding sub leasing of FDOT property

   Pending

   This is not a binding action yet, but it flags that the city is actively considering how state controlled property can be reused or reassigned, which is where future access and occupancy decisions will start.

8. Discussion regarding Entrepreneurs and Business Owners Startup Assistance Program

   Pending

   Also only a discussion item, but it is the clearest business facing policy topic on the agenda and the place where any future city backed startup support framework would first take shape.
