Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance File Number 260553, approving and ratifying Fiscal Year 2024-25 end-of-year supplemental budget adjustments and amendments. This ordinance involves numerous departmental budget adjustments, appropriation of grant and donation funds, and ratification of fee-setting actions. Key financial adjustments include over $1.242 billion in total operating and capital supplements, with significant allocations for grants, capital projects, and reserve funds. Specifically, $112.868 million is allocated to the Housing and Community Development Department for public housing improvements and Section 8 housing subsidies. The Countywide General Fund had $6.056 million in unallocated carryover, with 50% ($3.028 million) designated for the Affordable Housing Trust Fund and the remainder to be allocated in the FY 2025-26 Mid-Year Budget Amendment. The Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA) General Fund had $4.758 million in unallocated carryover, recommended for general fund reserves. Public comment was minimal; the public hearing was closed with no one appearing to speak. During committee review, Commissioner Cohen Higgins inquired about the allocation of carryover funds, particularly the discretionary portion, and the timing of budget forecast analysis. Vice Chairwoman Milian Orbis suggested using carryover funds for senior property tax relief, a sentiment supported by Chairwoman Lopez. Senator García recalled past debates on carryover allocation methodology and cautioned against binding the County during fiscal constraints. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on April 21, 2026, and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on June 2, 2026.
