Miami Gardens council approves minutes, agenda and consent items; Vice Mayor Stevens excused from meeting
Summary
At the Feb. 26 meeting the council approved minutes, the agenda and the consent agenda, excused Vice Mayor Stevens for attendance at a conference, and an item (12.1) sponsored by Councilwoman Linda Julian was withdrawn from the agenda.
The City of Miami Gardens City Council approved routine procedural items and recorded the absence of the vice mayor at its Feb. 26 meeting.
The council voted to approve the minutes, adopt the agenda (with Item 12.1 removed at request), and approve the consent agenda. The clerk called the roll at the meeting start; the audio record shows five council members plus the mayor present and Vice Mayor Stevens absent from the dais because he was attending an elected‑officials conference. The council stated a quorum was present.
Councilwoman Linda Julian asked that Item 12.1, which she sponsored, be withdrawn from the agenda; the mayor acknowledged the request. The meeting record shows a motion to "excuse council vice mayor Stevens," which a member moved and a second was recorded; the council agreed to excuse him. The transcript does not show roll‑call vote details by name for each motion, but the chair asked for and received verbal "ayes" when the minutes, agenda and consent agenda were approved.
Formal actions recorded in the meeting transcript include approval of the minutes, approval of the agenda (with withdrawal of item 12.1), approval of the consent agenda, a motion to excuse Vice Mayor Stevens, and adjournment. The transcript did not record detailed roll‑call tallies by member name beyond the collective "ayes."
