HURRICANE RECOVERY SERVICES MOU

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-635-26 (File Number 260914) 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 countywide in scope and applies only during hurricane season or until the municipality has met all financial obligations. The requesting municipality will compensate the County for work executed. The Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) manages the program, which has three pre-established competitively bid emergency contracts covering debris removal monitoring, emergency debris removal, and temporary debris staging, reduction, hauling, and disposal. The MOU was introduced on 5/19/2026, forwarded to the BCC with a favorable recommendation by the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on 6/10/2026, and adopted on 7/21/2026. The sponsor is Natalie Milian Orbis, with co-sponsor Vicki L. Lopez. The MOU follows a prior agreement after Hurricane Irma (September 10, 2017) with North Bay Village, City of South Miami, and Town of Medley, and a February 2025 request from North Bay Village for future services. No specific project site, address, parcel, acreage, or unit count is stated.
