 Bay
Harbor Islands' governing body consists of seven dedicated individuals.
Elected at large, each member of the Town Council is elected by
the voters of the town to serve a four-year term. These terms are
staggered so that only a portion of the Town Council is up for election
each year. This method has resulted in a remarkably stable government
for Bay Harbor Islands since its incorporation in 1947. The salary
for each elected official is $1 per year, as it has been since the
Town's inception. These annual salaries are traditionally donated
each year to a worthy cause.
Regular
meetings of the Town Council are held on the second Monday of each
month at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall, second floor, 9665 Bay Harbor
Terrace, Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. Workshop Meetings and special
meetings of the Town Council are held occasionally, as needed, and
are also conducted in the Town Hall Council Chambers.
Public
Notices and Agendas of all Town Council meetings are posted on the
bulletin board in the first floor lobby of the Town Hall and may
be faxed upon request.
The
Town Council welcomes your attendance at meetings. To confirm all
meetings dates and times, please contact the Town Clerk's office
at 305-866-6241. All meetings, unless regarding topics specifically
exempt by state law, are open to the public. In accordance with
the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all persons who are
disabled and who need special accommodations to participate in these
meetings because of that disability should contact the Office of
the Town Clerk not later than two days prior to such proceedings.
Anyone
wishing to appeal any decision made by the Bay Harbor Islands Town
Council with respect to any matter considered at such meeting or
hearing will need a record of the proceedings and, for such purpose,
may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the proceedings is
made, which record includes the testimony and evidence upon which
the appeal is to be based.
