RESOLUTION DIRECTING MAYOR TO ANALYZE FEASIBILTY FOG

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted a resolution directing the County Mayor to analyze the feasibility of establishing a low-interest revolving loan program. This program would assist local small businesses with the costs of financing and installing capital improvements necessary for compliance with the County's Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) regulations. The program would be administered by the Dade County Federal Credit Union or a similar trusted local financial institution. The Mayor is required to provide a report and recommendation within 60 days of the resolution's effective date, detailing funding sources, eligibility criteria, proposed administrators, eligible uses of funds, and reporting requirements. The resolution references previous actions related to FOG regulations, including a Consent Decree effective December 6, 2013, and Ordinance No. 18-22 adopted February 21, 2018, which codified amendments to the FOG Control Program. The RISE Miami-Dade Fund, a previous revolving loan program administered by Dade County Federal Credit Union, is cited as a successful example of a public-private partnership.
