RESOLUTION CALLING OUT SPECIAL ELECTION

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · resolution

Miami-Dade County is holding a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, to vote on amending the Home Rule Charter. The proposed amendment would create an independent, five-member Salary Commission to determine compensation for the Board of County Commissioners. This commission would annually review and set salaries based on specific criteria, with its decisions being final and not subject to modification by the Board of County Commissioners. The Charter Review Task Force recommended this change with a vote of nine in favor and one against. The resolution was introduced on June 26, 2026, and is currently in committee, with an agenda date of September 1, 2026. The resolution was sponsored by Danielle Cohen Higgins.
