VENEZUELA COUNTY EMPLOYEE LEAVE DONATIONS

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County is considering a resolution (File Number: 261210) to direct the County Mayor to allow county employees to contribute the monetary value of their accrued holiday and annual leave time to the County's Emergency Disaster Relief Fund. This fund would then be used to donate to Venezuela earthquake relief efforts. The resolution aims to facilitate employee contributions for humanitarian aid and reconstruction in Venezuela following recent earthquakes. The process involves publicizing and making available authorization forms for employees, selecting recipient organization(s), effectuating the donation, and providing a report to the Board of County Commissioners within 30 days. The earthquakes occurred on June 24, 2026, in north-central Venezuela, causing widespread destruction and significant casualties.
