Antonio Diaz sworn in as Miami’s independent inspector general
Summary
The commission approved an amended employment agreement for the independent inspector general and then administered the oath to Antonio Diaz, who pledged to perform duties with integrity, fairness and civility.
The Miami City Commission approved the employment agreement for an independent inspector general and immediately sworn Antonio Diaz into the office on Nov. 20.
Commissioners debated contract language around termination, arbitration and due process before approving the agreement as amended; the motion included a process requiring a four‑fifths vote across two meetings for certain terminations and arbitration language to address retaliation claims.
Antonio Diaz repeated the oath of office and pledged to “faithfully discharge the duties of independent inspector general of the City of Miami,” concluding a process that commissioners said was intended to balance independence with the authority to remove the official for cause.
The appointment was greeted with unanimous support for moving forward; commissioners and staff said they expect the office to begin its oversight work immediately.
