Council Goals and Priorities

The City Council of the City of Miami Springs is comprised of an elected Mayor and four elected Council members.  These individuals serve in the capacity of elected officials for the voters of the City and act as the legislative body of the municipality.  Terms are for two years and members may serve for four consecutive terms.

The body is elected to lead, direct and provide policy for the administration.  Additionally, the body is responsible to establish laws, regulations, set millage rates, adopt budgets, appropriate funds and other legislative matters.  To ensure continuity, the Council appoints citizens to serve as advisors to permanent boards, two retirement systems and various ad hoc advisory committees.

Regular Council meetings are held the second and fourth Mondays of each month excluding July.  Special sessions are also held in August to discuss budget and other matters of critical importance.
