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

The document is a Miami-Dade County legislative item, File Number 260914, a Resolution (R-635-26) adopted on 7/21/2026, approving a standard form Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Miami-Dade County and requesting municipalities for the provision of debris removal, staging and reduction, long-range hauling, and monitoring services. The MOU is for hurricane recovery services and is countywide in scope. The requesting municipality will compensate the County for work executed. The MOU is in effect only during hurricane season or until the municipality has met all financial obligations. The Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) has three pre-established competitively bid emergency contracts for these services. The resolution authorizes the County Mayor or designee to execute the MOU. The item was introduced on 5/19/2026, assigned to the County Attorney on 5/20/2026, forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation by the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on 6/10/2026, and adopted by the Board on 7/21/2026. The sponsor is Natalie Milian Orbis, with co-sponsor Vicki L. Lopez. The background states that after Hurricane Irma (September 10, 2017), three municipalities (North Bay Village, City of South Miami, and the Town of Medley) sought assistance from DSWM, and in February 2025, the City Manager of North Bay Village requested the same services for the future.
