Every 10 years, the Town Council is required under Section 7.4 of the Town’s Charter to appoint seven individuals to serve on a Charter Revision Commission which is charged with reviewing the Town Charter, outlining findings and making recommendations if necessary.

As part of the Town’s goal to be fully transparent, audio of the Charter Revision Commission meetings can now be heard by visiting www.miamilakes-fl.gov/meetings and click on the “Meetings” tab. Council and Planning and Zoning Board meetings can also be found via this link.

The following individuals have been appointed by the Town Council to serve on the Commission:

Dave Bennett (elected chair), appointed by Vice Mayor Tim Daubert;

Roberto Alonso (elected vice chair), appointed by Councilmember Frank Mingo;

Jose Dieguez, appointed by Councilmember Tony Lama;

Ramiro Inguanzo, appointed by Councilmember Nelson Rodriguez;

George Lopez, appointed by Mayor Michael Pizzi;

Claudia Luces, appointed by Councilmember Ceasar Mestre; and

Mirtha Mendez, appointed by Councilmember Manny Cid.

Pizzi also appointed Mestre to serve as the non-voting member of the Commission.

The Commission meets on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers at Town Hall.

The Commission encourages all interested residents to attend in person and/or submit ideas, questions, concerns or recommendations via e-mail to inguanzog@miamilakes-fl.gov.
