SOUTHEAST FL REGIONAL CLIMATE COMPACT ILA

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

Miami-Dade County is approving an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) for the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact. This agreement involves Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties. Miami-Dade County will contribute $285,000 over three fiscal years (2027-2029), with $95,000 allocated annually. Broward County will retain and supervise the Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC) on behalf of the four counties. The ISC provides services related to the Compact. The agreement replaces a previous one that expired September 30, 2026. The County Mayor or designee is authorized to execute the ILA, approve extensions, and select Miami-Dade representatives to the Compact Leadership Committee. The Department of Environmental Resources Management, specifically Chief Resilience Officer and Director Loren Parra, will monitor the agreement. The Compact has facilitated regional resilience efforts, including securing funding for projects like the C-51 Reservoir and the Coral Reef Conservation Area.
