Meeting briefs for land-use attorneys in South Florida
Your clients do not want to hear that you have not read the agenda yet. Dais reads every agenda and every meeting for the South Florida boards you appear before, and tells you what happened to the files you care about.
Track the files and names that matter to your practice
Add an alert for a client’s file number, a street address, a client or applicant name, or a topic such as “special exception”. When an item that matches reaches an upcoming agenda, you get a heads-up, usually days before the hearing. After the meeting, the match goes to the top of your brief.
You can also add opposing counsel, an expert or a neighborhood association by name, to see when they speak on an item you are not directly involved in.
Know what actually happened
- The outcome, the vote tally and who voted which way, so you can tell a 7 to 1 from a 4 to 3.
- Whether an item was approved, denied, amended, deferred or withdrawn, and what the next step is.
- A brief the morning after the meeting, instead of a two or three hour video you have to scrub through.
Cite the exact minute
Every claim in a member brief links to the timestamp in the city’s own video. If you need to quote what a board member said about a condition, or confirm the clerk’s statement about finality, you can open the video at that minute and verify it yourself.
Dais summaries are written by AI from official agendas and captions. They are a fast way to find and check the record, not a substitute for it, and anything we could not verify is flagged.

Questions
Can I track a client’s file number?
Yes. Alerts can match a city file number, a street address, a name or a topic. When a matching item is added to an upcoming agenda you get a heads-up, and after the meeting it appears first in your brief.
Will I know when an item is deferred?
Yes. Deferrals and continuances are recorded as the item’s outcome in the brief, along with any next step stated at the meeting. If a tracked item is on a later agenda, you get a heads-up again.
Can I cite what was said at the hearing?
Member briefs link each claim to the exact minute in the official video, so you can check the recording and cite it directly. Treat the summary as a pointer to the record, not as the record.
Which boards does Dais cover?
The City of Miami Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board, City Commission and Historic and Environmental Preservation Board, the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners and its zoning meeting, the Coral Gables City Commission and Planning and Zoning Board, and the Miami Beach City Commission, Design Review Board, Planning Board and Historic Preservation Board. Fort Lauderdale and Broward County are coming soon.
