City of North Miami

What City of North Miami does

The City of North Miami is a municipal government entity incorporated in 1926 and headquartered at 776 NE 125 Street in North Miami, Florida. It provides essential public services to residents, local businesses, and visitors across Southeast Florida, including police protection, water and sewer utilities, sanitation, parks and recreation, public library services, permitting and code compliance, housing and social services, and economic development programs. The city is governed by an elected Mayor (Alix Desulme, Ed.D.) and a four-district City Council, with a publicly disclosed operating model that is funded through municipal taxes, user fees, and bond issuances rather than private revenue.

The city's core technology and service platform consists of a set of digital and physical service channels. Digital infrastructure includes the Citizen ePortal for online service access, the MyNoMi mobile app for issue reporting and resident engagement, NoMi TV for streaming government meetings and public information, and the NoMi Alert emergency notification system delivered via Everbridge. Physical infrastructure includes City Hall, the North Miami Police Department headquarters, the North Miami Public Library (835 NE 132 Street), the Joe Celestin Community Center with its 24-Hour Library self-service kiosk, the Utility Operations Center housing Water & Sewer Division operations, and a network of parks and community facilities. Recent service launches include the 24-Hour Library, the Vision Zero Safety Action Plan, the NoMi Tech App Accelerator and drone piloting programs, and the NoMi Express Free Trolley and Freebee electric door-to-door transportation service.

The business model is public-sector and non-commercial. Services are funded through general fund appropriations, utility billing, permitting and licensing fees, bond proceeds, and targeted grant programs. Pricing is set by the city for fee-based services such as library meeting room rentals, mobile printing, library late fees, and non-resident library cards ($50 annually), while many resident-facing services (library cards, Wi-Fi, trolley and Freebee transportation) are provided free. Distribution occurs through city-operated facilities, online portals, the mobile app, and emergency notification channels. The customer base is essentially universal within city limits, segmented into primary residents, secondary local businesses, and tertiary visitors and tourists. The city is a 100-year-old organization in 2026 (Centennial: We Are 100!), with no parent company, no subsidiaries in the legal sense, and no M&A or funding activity.
