In a recent city council meeting, officials announced the upcoming launch of a permanent Cuban exile community exhibit at a local museum, emphasizing its significance for both Hialeah and Miami-Dade County. The exhibit is set to open in the coming weeks, and council members expressed enthusiasm about organizing a field trip for the council and community members to attend the grand opening.

During the discussions, a proposal was made to recognize individuals involved in the development of the exhibit. Council members considered designating a specific month to honor the contributions of the Cuban exile community, with April being suggested due to its historical relevance, marking the anniversary of the Bay of Pigs invasion. This month is already associated with various commemorative activities in Hialeah and Little Havana.

Additionally, the council addressed procedural matters, including the correction of scrivener's errors in previous resolutions. A recent amendment was made regarding a purchase order for utility bill printing, which had initially been approved incorrectly as a consent item rather than a resolution due to its expenditure exceeding $65,000.

The meeting highlighted the council's commitment to honoring the Cuban exile community while ensuring proper governance and procedural accuracy in city operations.
