VENEZUELA COUNTY EMPLOYEE LEAVE DONATIONS

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

Miami-Dade County is considering a resolution (File Number 261210) to allow county employees to donate the monetary value of their accrued holiday and annual leave time to the County's Emergency Disaster Relief Fund. This fund would then be used to support relief efforts for the recent earthquakes in Venezuela. The resolution directs the County Mayor or designee to facilitate these donations, publicize the process, select recipient organization(s) for the relief efforts, and report on the total funds donated. The earthquakes, described as a seismic doublet of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5, struck north-central Venezuela on June 24, 2026, causing widespread destruction and fatalities. The resolution references past instances where Miami-Dade County employees have donated leave time for disaster relief in other global and domestic locations.
