Safety and Health Committee · 2026-07-13 · resolution

Resolution approving a first amendment to a land exchange agreement between Miami-Dade County and the District Board of Trustees of Miami-Dade College. The amendment removes a closing condition requiring environmental remediation completion by the Public Health Trust, modifies the environmental remediation provision, modifies the closing date definition and defines the effective date of the first amendment, and provides for post-closing cooperation on information exchange. The land exchange involves conveyance to the County of 48,102 square feet of land (College Parcel) in exchange for conveyance to the College of 48,456 square feet of County-owned land (County Parcel). The amendment was introduced on 7/7/2026, amended by the Safety and Health Committee on 7/13/2026, and is pending BCC assignment. The Prime Sponsor is Keon Hardemon. The document states the County Parcel is located at 1851 NW 9th Avenue, Miami, and the College Parcel is located at 1000 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami. Both parcels are in County Commission District 3. The original exchange was approved by Resolution No. R-1098-24 on December 3, 2024, and the Exchange Agreement was effective January 6, 2025. The Public Health Trust requires the College Parcel for parking to support its Emergency Department Expansion Project at the Jackson Memorial Medical Center campus. The document notes the Public Health Trust has substantially completed environmental remediation but additional groundwater monitoring time is needed, and the new Emergency Department has been completed and opened, requiring the closing to support the new facility with additional surface parking.
