Civil Service Board adds Dec. 16 special meeting, approves recommended 2026 meeting calendar

The Miami Civil Service Board on July 8 approved adding a December 16 special meeting to its calendar and approved recommended meeting dates for 2026 to be submitted to the hearing boards for confirmation.

The board adopted the meeting agenda at the start of the session (motion by Member Jimenez, second by Member Cabrera) and approved meeting minutes later in the agenda (motion by Member Cabrera, second by Board Member Lanier); both actions passed with the board indicating "aye" on the record. The board then voted to add a December 16 special meeting (motion by Member Cabrera, second by Board Member Lanier) and approved a recommended 2026 Civil Service Board meeting calendar (motion by Board Member Lanier, second by Member Jimenez). Each motion was approved on the record with an "aye" response.

Board members present and named on the transcript were Member Jimenez, Member Cabrera and Board Member Lanier. The transcript records unanimous vocal approval ("Aye") for the motions but does not include a roll-call vote or a numeric tally; the transcript does not specify whether additional board members were present but not named on the record.

The approved calendar sets the board’s near-term meeting dates: the board noted August 19 and September 16 as upcoming meetings and added December 16 as an additional special meeting. The recommended 2026 dates will be submitted to the relevant hearing boards for confirmation, per the agenda item discussion. The board concluded the session with a motion to adjourn (motion by Member Jimenez, second by Board Member Lanier) that was approved on the record.
