The meeting began with the necessity of appointing a temporary chair, given the absence of both the commission president and vice president. After confirming a quorum with four members present, a temporary chair was elected to preside over the proceedings. The commission addressed the lack of public comments before diving into the key agenda item of setting the millage rate. The commission’s resolution directed the city clerk to file the millage rate with the Miami-Dade County property appraisal office, as required by state law.

During discussions, there was a brief clarification about the consistency of the millage rate compared to previous years. The Mayor confirmed that the rate remained the same and assured the commissioners that individual meetings would be scheduled to discuss budget details, continuing the practice from the past two years. The resolution to set the millage rate was moved, seconded, and unanimously approved by the commissioners present.
