Biscayne Park meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Biscayne Park boards review budget, code enforcement, and permits

Biscayne Park's Commission and two advisory boards met over the past two weeks to review the proposed city budget, code enforcement actions, and a slate of building permit applications. All three meetings were working sessions; no final decisions were recorded, and minutes have not yet been published.

Commission budget workshop

On August 13, the Commission held a budget workshop to review proposed FY 2026-27 budgets for several departments, including Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Administration. The agenda included a discussion of June financials and a review of the 2027 budget summary and revenues. The session was described as a working meeting for the Commission to consider the budget before adoption.

Biscayne Park Commission to weigh canal access, CDBG agreement; no decisions yet

Biscayne Park officials met this week to review budgets, property requests, and intergovernmental agreements, but no minutes have been published, so no formal decisions are confirmed. The most consequential items on the agenda are two resolutions the Commission will consider: granting the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) a license for access to village property for the C-8 Canal Project, and retroactively approving an amendment to the Urban County Designation Agreement with Miami-Dade County for CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs for fiscal years 2027–2029.

Commission workshop reviews FY 2027 budgets

On August 3, the Commission held a workshop to discuss proposed budgets for the Police Department and Code Compliance for fiscal year 2027. Presentations covered departmental budgets, revenue summaries, and fund allocations, including Public Works, Parks & Recreation, ARP Fund, Building Fund, Police Forfeiture Fund, Police Fund, Road Fund, and Sanitation Fund. No votes were taken; the workshop was for discussion only.

Commission to hear pool variance request

At its August 5 meeting, the Commission was scheduled to hear a variance request (PPO 26-0004) from applicant Jose R. Perez for a pool at 11818 NE 7 Ave. The agenda lists only this item; no decision has been recorded.

On August 6, the Commission agenda included two resolutions:

• Resolution 2026-XX: First Amendment to Urban County Designation Agreement with Miami-Dade County for CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs (FY 2027–2029).

The agenda also included a Certificate of Appreciation for Charlotte Wise, a discussion on special agenda meetings and Chapter 119 (Commissioner Amsler), and a village manager's evaluation discussion. No minutes have been published, so the outcome of these items is not yet known.

Planning & Design Review Board reviews property applications

Also on August 6, the Planning and Design Review Board considered several property applications:

Biscayne Park: Commission reviews pool variance, FY 2027 budgets; planning board takes up 15 permit applications

Biscayne Park residents had a busy stretch of meetings in late July, though official minutes have not yet been published for any of the sessions. Based on the agendas, the Village Commission discussed a pool variance request and reviewed proposed fiscal year 2027 budgets for police and code compliance, while the Planning & Design Review Board scheduled review of 15 property permit applications.

Commission Meeting — July 30

The Commission was set to hear a variance request identified as PPO 26-0004, submitted by applicant Jose R. Perez for a pool at 11818 NE 7 Ave. The agenda listed this as the focus of the meeting. No vote tally or outcome is available because minutes have not yet been published.

Commission Workshop — FY 2027 Budgets

A Commission workshop was scheduled to review proposed budgets for the Police Department and Code Compliance for fiscal year 2027. Agenda items included:

• Presentation and discussion of the Police Department FY27 budget
• Presentation and discussion of Code Compliance FY27 budget
• Review of the FY 2026-27 Budget Summary
• Review of FY 2027 Revenues
• Discussion of departmental and fund budgets, including Public Works, Parks & Recreation, ARP Fund, Building Fund, Police Forfeiture Fund, Police Fund, Road Fund, and Sanitation Fund

The agenda indicates this was a workshop for presentation and discussion, not a meeting where budgets were adopted. No dollar figures, allocations, or revenue projections were included in the agenda data provided. Minutes have not yet been published.

Planning & Design Review Board — July 23

The Planning & Design Review Board agenda listed 15 permit applications for review, covering fences, roofs, driveways, and renovations across multiple properties. The agenda included old business carried over from a previous meeting and new business with property-specific requests.

Listed items include:

• PFE-26-0024 — 900 NE 120 ST — picket fence — Mercedes Gonzales
• PV26-0001 — 1015 NE 114 ST — variance — Juan Diego
• PFE-26-0027 — 820 NE 115 ST — fence — Jonah Brander
• PRO-26-0017 — 951 NE 115 ST — roof — Cesar Urmaza
• PPB-26-0041 — 11054 NE 8 Ave — W&D — Rakeem Whyce

The agenda notes 15 applications total; five are listed in the provided data. Minutes have not yet been published, so no decisions or vote tallies are available.

What this means for residents

The budget workshop matters because it shapes how the Village plans to spend money on police, code compliance, public works, parks, sanitation, and other services in the next fiscal year. The variance request at 11818 NE 7 Ave affects a specific property owner's ability to build a pool. The Planning & Design Review Board applications determine what physical changes — fences, roofs, driveways — neighbors may see on nearby properties.

Because all three meetings are listed as "agenda only" with minutes not yet published, residents should check the Village's official records for outcomes, votes, and any dollar amounts discussed at the budget workshop.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. Residents seeking updates on the FY 2027 budget process or the status of the variance and permit applications should monitor the Village of Biscayne Park's official meeting calendar and published minutes.
