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

The document is a legislative item for a resolution calling a countywide special election in Miami-Dade County, Florida, to be held in conjunction with the General Election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, to submit to electors the question of whether to amend the Home Rule Charter to make changes due to the reestablishment of elected County Constitutional Offices. The resolution was introduced on 7/14/2026, and adopted on 7/21/2026. The amendment would address the reestablished offices of Sheriff, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser, and Supervisor of Elections; clarify duties of Clerk and County regarding finance and budget; and require County employees to take leave of absence when running for an elected Constitutional Office. The Charter Review Task Force recommended the referendum by a vote of ten in favor and zero against. The resolution was amended to correct a scrivener's error, replacing 'Resolution No. R-255-24' with 'Resolution No. R-225-24'.
