Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-635-26 (File Number 260914) on 7/21/2026, approving a standard form Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Miami-Dade County and requesting municipalities for the provision of debris removal, staging and reduction, long-range hauling, and monitoring services. The MOU is for hurricane recovery services and is countywide in scope. The requesting municipality will compensate the County for work executed. The MOU will be in effect only during hurricane season or until the municipality has met all financial obligations. The Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) has three pre-established competitively bid emergency contracts covering debris removal monitoring, emergency debris removal, and temporary debris staging, reduction, hauling and disposal. The MOU allows DSWM to include requesting municipalities in the Debris Removal Program for hurricane clean-up and recovery. The County Mayor or designee is authorized to execute the MOU after review and approval by the County Attorney. The item was introduced on 5/19/2026, assigned to County Attorney on 5/20/2026, forwarded to BCC with favorable recommendation by the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on 6/10/2026, and adopted on 7/21/2026.
