The Village of Key Biscayne was
incorporated on June 18, 1991.
A seven-member Village Council comprised
of a Mayor, Vice Mayor and five Council Members is elected by the people
to govern the Village of Key Biscayne. The Mayor presides at Council
meetings and other functions, and is the ceremonial head of the Village
of Key Biscayne. The Village Council determines policy, and
appoints a Village Manager, Village Clerk and a Village Attorney.
The Mayor serves a two year term. Each
Councilmember serves a four year term. To be eligible to run as a candidate
for office, a person must be a resident of the Village of Key Biscayne
for at least one year prior to the election and be a qualified elector
of the Village.
Village Council meetings are held the second
Tuesday of every month (except August) in the Council Chamber, at Village
Hall, at 7:00 p.m.
The Village of Key Biscayne is the "official"
name given to this Island Paradise of Key Biscayne. Some of us think
that is sort of a goofy name because it is really not much of a "Village"
and more of a "Tribe", but that being said, our Tribal elders decided that
we should be known as a "Village" and therefore we are the "Village of
Key Biscayne". For the Village of Key Biscayne Government sponsored,
owned and operated, completely politically correct website can be found

of the Village of Key Biscayne. (That's a mouthful!!)
