2026 CHARTER AMENDMENT (BOUNDARY COMMISSION)

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County legislative item File Number 261184 is a resolution to call a countywide special election on November 3, 2026, for voters to decide whether to amend the Home Rule Charter to establish a Boundary Commission for annexations and incorporations. The resolution failed at the Board of County Commissioners meeting on July 21, 2026. The proposed Boundary Commission would replace the Planning Advisory Board's role and set new procedures for boundary changes and new municipalities. The Charter Review Task Force recommended the amendment by a vote of eight in favor and none against. A scrivener's error was corrected on July 9, 2026, changing a reference from Resolution No. R-255-24 to Resolution No. R-225-24. The Policy Council forwarded it to the BCC with a favorable recommendation as corrected on July 13, 2026. No specific project site, address, parcel, size, or applicant is stated.
