City of Miramar opens public participation for commission meeting

The City of Miramar's commission meeting on May 21, 2025, opened with a call for public participation, allowing residents to voice their questions and concerns. However, as of the meeting's start, no members of the public had registered to participate virtually. The meeting was accessible via live stream and local television channels, ensuring transparency and community engagement.

Mayor Messam and the commission members began the session with a roll call, confirming their presence. The meeting also took a moment to honor the memory of bereaved city staff, including Malcio Jackson Senior and Commissioner Maxwell B. Chambers, who recently lost family members. A moment of silence was observed in their memory, highlighting the community's support during difficult times.

In a notable update, the commission announced that item number 8 on the agenda had been withdrawn, meaning it would not be discussed during the meeting. This change was communicated to both in-person attendees and those watching online, reinforcing the importance of keeping the public informed about agenda modifications.

As the meeting progressed, the commission remained focused on fostering community involvement and addressing the needs of Miramar residents, setting the stage for future discussions and decisions.
