HURRICANE RECOVERY SERVICES MOU

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

The document is a legislative item for a resolution approving a standard form Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Miami-Dade County and municipalities for debris removal, staging and reduction, long-range hauling, and monitoring services. The resolution was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on 7/21/2026. The MOU is countywide in scope and allows the Department of Solid Waste Management to include requesting municipalities in the Debris Removal Program for hurricane clean-up and recovery. The requesting municipality will compensate the County for work executed. The document does not specify a particular project site, address, parcel, acreage, or zoning change. It references three pre-established competitively bid emergency contracts covering debris removal monitoring, emergency debris removal, and temporary debris staging, reduction, hauling and disposal. The background notes that after Hurricane Irma in 2017, North Bay Village, City of South Miami, and Town of Medley sought assistance, and in February 2025, North Bay Village requested similar future services. The MOU is in effect only during hurricane season or until the municipality meets its financial obligations. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
