Miami council approves routine business, budget amendment, two appointments and grant resolution
Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting the Miami City Council approved the claims list and minutes, adopted a budget amendment to move carryover funds for skate‑park design and record library grant receipts, appointed two Grand Gateway Board representatives for 2026, approved the Emergency Operations Plan and authorized a transportation‑alternatives grant application.
The Miami City Council on Feb. 3 approved a package of routine agenda items and several staff proposals, including a budget amendment to move carryover funds for parks and to record new library grant receipts, two appointments to an external board, adoption of the city Emergency Operations Plan and authorization to apply for a Transportation Alternatives grant.
Staff described budget amendment 26‑5 as bookkeeping to recognize leftover funds and new receipts and to make them available in the current year for parks/recreation skate‑park design and library expenses. "So this is just some more, general housekeeping as we clean up the books," a staff member said. Council moved and approved the amendment.
The council appointed Tyler Klein and Crystal Weirich as Miami’s 2026 representatives to the Grand Gateway Board of Directors for a one‑year term beginning Feb. 1, 2026; members congratulated the appointees and asked staff to issue a press release.
Council also voted to approve the City of Miami Emergency Operations Plan, which the council had heard about earlier from Gunther, and approved resolution MSUA 2026‑02 and CC 2026‑05 to submit a Transportation Alternatives grant application and commit to required maintenance for the project. Tyler (who discussed the MSU side of the project) and staff confirmed the grant application and maintenance commitment were the items under consideration.
