Topics getting the most attention in Aventura public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
4 issues with low priority
Stormwater utility fee renewal
The annual stormwater fee stays at $74.10 per equivalent residential unit — about $6.18 a month — funding drainage maintenance and improvements.
Permit Fee Adjustment Authority (HB 803)
A new state law changed how building permit fees are calculated, so the city can now adjust them once a year by administrative policy instead of a code amendment each time.
Charter School Budget Amendments (ACES and DSAHS)
Year-end fixes for both city charter schools: ACES adds $604,006 in spending (tutoring bonuses, HVAC, elevator repairs) and Don Soffer High adds $425,227 in spending against $647,281 in extra enrollment-driven revenue.
Aventura City Center Sign Variance
The mixed-use project at 2999 NE 191st Street got flexibility on its signage package through a sign graphics variance.
