Meeting and Agenda Summaries
For each regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, Miami-Dade Commission Watch publishes two documents: an Agenda Summary before the meeting and a Meeting Summary after it. Both are nonpartisan and drawn from primary sources. Each one is a web page you can read here and an official PDF you can download.
Agenda Summaries
An in-depth guide to the agenda, about 60 pages, that works as a readable alternative to the county's official agenda: the backstory, legislative history, fiscal impact and a plain-language explanation of each item.
Agenda Summaries: Board of County Commissioners, October 20, 2026
Plain-language purpose and context for all 68 numbered agenda items on the October 20, 2026 Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners agenda, with sponsors and links to official sources.
Meeting Summaries
What happened at the meeting: which items passed, failed, were deferred or withdrawn, the vote counts, and the major news from the meeting.
None published yet. Published after each Board meeting: what happened, what passed or failed, and the major news from the meeting.
Meeting Summaries →Upcoming regular meetings
Regular meetings are open to public comment. Dates and times come from the county's official 2026 Meeting Calendar (PDF); budget hearings, zoning meetings and committee meetings are not listed here. An Agenda Summary is posted before each meeting once the county publishes its agenda.
Numbers, versions and corrections
Document numbers
Every document has a number that names its type and meeting date. MDCW-AS-2026-1020 is the Agenda Summary for the meeting of October 20, 2026; MDCW-MS-2026-1020 is the Meeting Summary for the same meeting. Cite the number when you refer to a document.
Corrections
When we correct a document we publish a new version (1.0, then 1.1) and keep every earlier version available to download. The document page says when it was updated, and its version history lists what changed. Report an error.
The earlier tracker
Before these documents, we summarized meetings item by item in the Meeting Tracker. It stays online, unchanged, as the Meeting Tracker Archive for meetings through October 2026.
