Public Safety Committee members say committee budget cut to $2,200 after council vote
Summary
At a special meeting, Miami Lakes Public Safety Committee members discussed a council decision that reduced the committee's proposed 2025-26 budget to $2,200 and outlined next steps for fundraising and lobbying.
The Miami Lakes Public Safety Committee on a special call meeting reported that the council approved a reduced allotment of $2,200 for the committee's 2025-26 budget, down from the committee's requested $6,000.

The chair told committee members the council initially considered keeping committees flat at $4,800, then the council's mayor (identified in the meeting as Mayor Gallegos) moved to reduce the amount to $1,200. A later motion by council member Steven Herzberg to add $1,000 to that figure left the committee with $2,200.
