Youth serves as Doral "mayor for the day" during council meeting
Summary
A youth selected as "mayor for the day" presided over parts of the Doral City Council's Feb. 18 meeting, led the pledge and called the roll; council members applauded her before the meeting adjourned.
Sarah (recorded in the transcript as both "Sarah Pagula" and "Sarah Piaulia") was introduced as the city’s "mayor for the day" and briefly led portions of the Feb. 18 council meeting. She addressed attendees, asked the clerk to call the roll and led the pledge of allegiance. At the meeting’s close, council members congratulated her and gathered for a group photograph.
The council characterized the opportunity as a civic-engagement experience for youth to see how local government works. No policy decisions were tied to the ceremonial role; the body proceeded to its public hearings and ordinance votes after the youth remarks.
