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. A report with recommendations on program structure, funding, eligibility, and administration is required within 60 days of the resolution's effective date. The resolution references previous actions related to FOG regulations, including a Consent Decree and Ordinance No. 18-22, and highlights the high upfront costs for businesses to install compliant grease interceptors and FOG equipment. The RISE Miami-Dade Fund, also administered by Dade County Federal Credit Union, is cited as a successful precedent for a public-private partnership. No public comment is stated in the document.
