Council approves school facilities MOU and dissolves two mayoral advisory boards
Summary
At its Sept. 16 meeting the Miami City Council approved a memorandum of understanding with Miami Public Schools for fiscal year 2025–26 and passed two resolutions dissolving the mayor’s citizens cooperative advisory board and the mayor’s flood advisory board.
The Miami City Council voted to approve three items during its Sept. 16 session: a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Miami Public Schools for facility use in fiscal year 2025–26 and two resolutions dissolving mayoral advisory boards.
The council approved the MOU with Miami Public Schools — a routine agreement that allows school teams and programs to use city facilities (tennis courts, the Civic Center gym, expo buildings and the softball complex) and clarifies responsibilities between the city and the district for facility use. The school board previously approved the agreement. The council motion to approve the MOU was seconded; councilmembers Easton, Dunkel, Jones, Barnes and Barker recorded “aye” votes. No dissenting votes were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
The council also approved Resolution CC2025‑11, dissolving the Mayor’s Citizens Cooperative Advisory Board (created by Resolution CC2020‑22), and Resolution CC2025‑12, dissolving the Mayor’s Flood Advisory Board (created by Resolution CC2020‑19). Both dissolution resolutions were moved and approved by voice vote with recorded ayes. The mayor explained he had created the advisory boards at the start of his term and later asked staff to dissolve boards that had not met for several years.
No amendments or conditions were recorded in the meeting transcript. The resolutions and the MOU were adopted; the council did not specify implementation steps beyond noting that one facility (Joe Pollock) now has a separate agreement.
