North Miami council adds co-sponsor to two agenda items, removes one item and recesses meeting
Summary
At its opening, the North Miami City Council amended the agenda to add Councilwoman Mary Estimé-Irvin as a co-sponsor on two items, removed one item from the docket and deferred another to the next meeting, then recessed to reconvene later in the evening.
The North Miami City Council altered its agenda during opening remarks and then recessed to reconvene later the same evening. The city manager announced several procedural changes, and Mayor Dezi May confirmed a brief recess and return time.
Madam Manager said tabs B and K would be amended to add Councilwoman Mary Estimé-Irvin as a co-sponsor. "Tabs B and K, uh there's been a request to add Councilwoman Mary Estimé-Irvin as co-sponsors," the manager stated, as reported in the transcript. The manager also announced that "tab H is being pulled and removed from the agenda" and that, at the mayor's request, "tab I... we have a request to defer from the mayor... to the next meeting."
The manager characterized the removal of tab H as occurring "per our code," a phrase the transcript records without further specification. The council did not record a formal motion or vote on these agenda adjustments during the exchange; when asked whether a motion was needed, a member responded, "Do we need a even a motion? Okay, no."
Mayor Dezi May announced a short recess before the regular council session resumed. "At this time, we're going to take a recess, a 30-minute recess... 40? 45. So 7:45 we're we'll be back for our regular North Miami meeting," the mayor said, according to the transcript. The mayor also indicated the body would return to a Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) meeting before resuming the regular council agenda.
No formal votes or ordinance readings were taken in the recorded opening segments. The transcript shows the agenda changes and the recess were handled as procedural matters; specifics about the content of tabs B, K, H and I were not discussed in the provided segments.
The council paused at the start of its session and is scheduled to reconvene at the time announced by the mayor; items removed or deferred will appear on a future agenda or be handled according to the city's code, as noted by staff.
