AMENDMENT TO LAND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

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

Resolution approving the First Amendment to a Land Exchange Agreement between Miami-Dade County and the District Board of Trustees of Miami-Dade College. The County conveys 48,456 square feet of land (County Parcel, portion of Folio No. 01-3135-061-0010, located at 1851 NW 9th Avenue, Miami) to the College, in exchange for the College conveying 48,102 square feet of land (College Parcel, portion of Folio No. 01-3135-106-0010, located at 1000 Northwest 20th Street, Miami) to the County for use by the Public Health Trust. The amendment removes the closing condition requiring the Public Health Trust to obtain a No Further Action Letter from DERM, modifies the environmental remediation provision, modifies the closing date definition, and adds a post-closing cooperation obligation. Adopted on 7/21/2026. The original item was under File No. 261262. The College Parcel is needed for parking to support the Jackson Memorial Medical Center Emergency Department Expansion Project. Public comment: Commissioner Hardemon noted a scrivener's error, and the correction struck the specific street address for the College Parcel and replaced it with 1000 Northwest 20th Street, Miami. Chairman Gonzalez referenced a prior discussion about five acres at Homestead Air Force Base and requested a meeting with the administration; Mr. Palmer advised no update, the County still held the property, and MDSO sought approximately five acres for a K-9 Training Center.
