5. MEETING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines apply to today’s City Council Meeting:
Pursuant to emergency management powers as set forth in F.S. §§252.31-252.90, Governor
Ron DeSantis issued Executive Order 20-69 (March 20, 2020), suspending the “Florida’s
Government in the Sunshine Laws” requirement that a quorum of the legislative body
holding a public meeting be met in-person and that the meeting be held at a physical
location accessible to the public for the duration of the State’s Declaration of Emergency
issued on March 9, 2020 (EO20-52) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the
State of Florida. The nation and the State of Florida remain in a state of emergency. The
Governor has extended the declaration every 60 days, as required by law, since the
execution of Executive Order 20-52. The latest extension made through the execution of
Executive Order 20-276 (November 3, 2020).
Notwithstanding the continuing statewide threat of COVID-19 to the health, safety and
welfare of our citizens, Executive Order 20-69, issued specifically to allow local
governments to use communications media technology to hold public meetings during the
public health emergency, has expired as of 12:01 a.m. November 1, 2020 (EO 20-246). As
such, all public meetings in this City of any deliberative body must comply with the in-
person quorum requirement of the Sunshine Law. This means, at a minimum, there must
be present, in-person, the minimum number of board members required to meet quorum
based on the composition of the deliberative body at the location of the meeting. All other
members of the deliberative body exceeding quorum may choose, in coordination with the
secretary of the respective board conducting the public meeting, to appear using
communication media technology.
Except for the requirement to meet physical quorum and as otherwise amended by this
document, all other minimum guidelines and procedures adopted by City of Hialeah
Emergency Order dated April 8, 2020 and Hialeah, Fla. Resolution 2020-048 (April 14,
2020) shall continue to govern the conduct of public meetings of the City Council of the
City of Hialeah, Florida and the public meetings of all other boards or committees for the
City of Hialeah, Florida using communications media technology, held during the duration
of the public health emergency as a result of COVID19, in order to protect the health,
welfare and safety of the public, including public officials, from being exposed to COVID-
19 and meet the requirements of the Sunshine Law.
A limited number of members of the public will be allowed to be present at the location of
the meeting considering the physical spacing limitations of the location to observe social
distancing. As such, only 15 members of the public will be allowed to attend in person any
scheduled meeting of the Council held in Chambers on a first-come-first serve basis.
Based upon anticipated in-person attendance of any meeting, the City will provide
additional space at City Hall to accommodate the public and provide both viewing and
participation capabilities. In addition, all public meetings continue to be broadcast live for
members of the public to view on the City’s Facebook page. As an additional alternative,
members of the public may hear the meeting live through telephonic conferencing.

5. MEETING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines apply to today’s City Council Meeting:
Pursuant to emergency management powers as set forth in F.S. §§252.31-252.90, Governor
Ron DeSantis issued Executive Order 20-69 (March 20, 2020), suspending the “Florida’s
Government in the Sunshine Laws” requirement that a quorum of the legislative body
holding a public meeting be met in-person and that the meeting be held at a physical
location accessible to the public for the duration of the State’s Declaration of Emergency
issued on March 9, 2020 (EO20-52) as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the
State of Florida. The nation and the State of Florida remain in a state of emergency. The
Governor has extended the declaration every 60 days, as required by law, since the
execution of Executive Order 20-52. The latest extension made through the execution of
Executive Order 20-276 (November 3, 2020).
11/20/2020 5:01 PM
Notwithstanding the continuing statewide threat of COVID-19 to the health, safety and
welfare of our citizens, Executive Order 20-69, issued specifically to allow local
governments to use communications media technology to hold public meetings during the
public health emergency, has expired as of 12:01 a.m. November 1, 2020 (EO 20-246). As
such, all public meetings in this City of any deliberative body must comply with the in-
person quorum requirement of the Sunshine Law. This means, at a minimum, there must
be present, in-person, the minimum number of board members required to meet quorum
based on the composition of the deliberative body at the location of the meeting. All other
members of the deliberative body exceeding quorum may choose, in coordination with the
secretary of the respective board conducting the public meeting, to appear using
communication media technology.
Except for the requirement to meet physical quorum and as otherwise amended by this
document, all other minimum guidelines and procedures adopted by City of Hialeah
Emergency Order dated April 8, 2020 and Hialeah, Fla. Resolution 2020-048 (April 14,
2020) shall continue to govern the conduct of public meetings of the City Council of the
City of Hialeah, Florida and the public meetings of all other boards or committees for the
City of Hialeah, Florida using communications media technology, held during the duration
of the public health emergency as a result of COVID19, in order to protect the health,
welfare and safety of the public, including public officials, from being exposed to COVID-
19 and meet the requirements of the Sunshine Law.
A limited number of members of the public will be allowed to be present at the location of
the meeting considering the physical spacing limitations of the location to observe social
distancing. As such, only 15 members of the public will be allowed to attend in person any
scheduled meeting of the Council held in Chambers on a first-come-first serve basis.
Based upon anticipated in-person attendance of any meeting, the City will provide
additional space at City Hall to accommodate the public and provide both viewing and
participation capabilities. In addition, all public meetings continue to be broadcast live for
members of the public to view on the City’s Facebook page. As an additional alternative,
members of the public may hear the meeting live through telephonic conferencing.
Any person interested in making comments or posing questions on matters of public
concern or on any item on the agenda may do so prior to the meeting taking place by email
to virtualmeeting@hialeahfl.gov by 3:00 p.m. the business day prior to the meeting or no
later than six (6) hours prior to the meeting if only 24-hours’ notice prior to the meeting is
provided by the City. Email comments and questions shall not exceed three (3) minutes
when read. Only the first three minutes of e-mail comments and questions received by the
deadline will be read into and form part of the public record.
Any person interested in making comments or posing questions on matters of public
concern or on any item on the agenda may do so during the meeting by joining the meeting
using Zoom or any other similar web-based meeting platform being used as identified in
the notice. The person interested in joining the meeting to participate for this purpose must

turned off until called upon to be heard.
11/20/2020 5:01 PM
Participants are reminded to maintain decorum in their comments and appearance
throughout their participation as the whole meeting will be recorded and published on the
City’s Facebook page and retained pursuant to the Florida Public Records Law.
All existing laws or rules of procedure applicable to public meetings (i.e. three-minute
limit on speaking, three in favor and three in opposition on any item on the agenda,
lobbyist registration requirements), that are not in conflict with these procedures and can
be observed under the circumstances remain in effect and to the greatest extent practicable
should be observed.
Public comments and questions, whether on general matters of public concern or on a
matter on the agenda, will be heard at the beginning of the meeting and once heard no
other public participation will be permitted.
Persons making public comments must identify themselves by first and last name and
