Miami-Dade County – The Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners will hold two budget hearings during the month of September, 2010 to allow for citizen input in the F.Y. 2010-2011 County Budget process.
The First Budget Hearing is scheduled for September 13, 2010, starting at 5:01 p.m. The Second Budget Hearing is scheduled for September 23, 2010, starting at 5:01 p.m. Both hearings will take place at the Miami-Dade Commission Chambers, 111 NW 1 Street, 2nd Floor.
Anyone wishing to speak will have two minutes. Due to the amount of county residents we are anticipating, we will begin the speaker’s registration at 3:00 p.m. at the lobby of the Stephen P. Clark Center.
On both dates, Miami-Dade Transit will extend Metrorail and Metromover service if the budget hearing ends after normal operating hours (after midnight). Metrorail parking facilities also will remain open. There will be a northbound and southbound train waiting at the Government Center Station to provide service after adjournment of the budget hearing. It is recommended that the public proceed to the Government Center Station platform immediately following the hearing.
The Miami-Dade Cultural Center parking garage located at 50 NW 2nd Avenue, the Hickman Garage located at 270 NW 2nd Street, and the North surface lot located at 111 NW 3rd Street will be available for parking for the budget hearings. These are the only three facilities to be used for parking for this event.
Additionally, the Bottega Grill Café on the ground floor of the Stephen P. Clark Center will offer pre-made salads and sandwiches available for purchase and will be selling coffee and pastries for as long as there are patrons.
