Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering ratifying an emergency contract for Microsoft licenses for the Miami-Dade Public Library System (MDPLS). The contract, number E-10663, is with Insight Public Sector, Inc. for $1,700,000 for a three-year term. An emergency was declared due to Microsoft's transition from its Educational Licensing Program to its Nonprofit Licensing Program, which created complexities and delays in procurement. The county explored direct agreements with Microsoft and cooperative contracts but faced inflexibility and evolving requirements. Peer institutions nationwide reported similar challenges. The contract aims to ensure continuity of technology services, public access, and cybersecurity for MDPLS. The User Access Program applies, but Small Business Enterprise measures, Local Preference, and Living Wage Ordinance do not.

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering ratifying an emergency contract (E-10663) for MDPLS Microsoft Licenses with Insight Public Sector, Inc. The contract is for $1,700,000.00 for a three-year term, effective January 15, 2026, to January 14, 2029. The emergency was declared due to Microsoft's transition from its Educational Licensing Program to its Nonprofit Licensing Program, which impacted Miami-Dade Public Library System's (MDPLS) ability to secure necessary licenses and maintain continuity of services. Multiple attempts to negotiate a direct agreement with Microsoft or utilize cooperative contracts failed due to evolving requirements and Microsoft's refusal to accept certain terms. The contract will be managed by the Communications, Information and Technology Department (CITD) on behalf of MDPLS. The User Access Program applies, but SBE and Local Preference measures do not.

METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING AMI AND RENT LEVELS
Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is directing the County Mayor or designee to provide a written report assessing the methodology used by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to calculate Area Median Income (AMI) for Miami-Dade County, and to explore potential alternative methods. The report will include an assessment of the current HUD methodology's benefits and shortcomings, the number of households potentially facing barriers to affordable housing due to the current AMI calculation, a comparison of HUD's AMI with other estimates by Commission District, and an assessment of alternative methodologies. The current AMI for Miami-Dade County for all families is $89,800.00, and for a family of four is $136,200.00 as of May 2026. The report is due within 90 days of the resolution's effective date.

METHODOLOGY FOR CALCULATING AMI AND RENT LEVELS
Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) is considering a resolution (File Number: 260851) to direct the County Mayor or designee to report on the methodology used by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to calculate Area Median Income (AMI) for Miami-Dade County. The report will assess the current HUD methodology, its shortcomings, potential barriers to affordable housing access due to the current AMI calculation, compare HUD's AMI with other estimates, and evaluate alternative methodologies. The resolution acknowledges that the AMI is crucial for eligibility in various national, state, and local housing programs, including those specific to Miami-Dade County like the Infill Housing Initiative and Workforce Housing Administration. The current AMI for Miami-Dade County for all families is $89,800.00, and for a family of four is $136,200.00 as of May 2026. The Housing Committee forwarded this to the BCC with a favorable recommendation on 6/9/2026. The final action is pending BCC assignment.
