RE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, SITE CLEANUPS

This ordinance amends Section 24-44 of the Miami-Dade County Code to allow for the approval of non-recorded institutional controls for contaminated site cleanups, specifically for sites owned or operated by a governmental entity.

The Director will have 60 days to approve or deny such controls, with an administrative appeal process to the County Commission available. The ordinance also clarifies procedures for notice to adjacent property owners when contamination extends beyond a site boundary. The matter is currently 'In Committee' with an agenda date of 7/21/2026.

REIMBURSEMENT FOR DISCONTINUED I-95 EXPRESS ROUTES

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) is considering a resolution to authorize the use of $3,896,702.00 from the Charter County Transportation Surtax Bond Program. These funds will reimburse the Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) operating fund for a payment made to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The payment covers the depreciated value and unauthorized mileage associated with 15 diesel-powered buses originally purchased for the discontinued I-95 Express Bus Service routes. The buses were redeployed to other routes after the service was discontinued in March 2020 due to declining ridership and bus operator shortages. This redeployment was inconsistent with FDOT grant requirements. The item was introduced on 6/8/2026 and is scheduled for the BCC Agenda on 7/21/2026. The Transportation Committee forwarded it to the BCC with a favorable recommendation on 6/9/2026. The total FDOT reimbursement request for 28 buses is $9,658,133.83, with this item addressing the $3,896,702 portion related to 15 buses funded under FDOT Grant G0350. The buses were originally purchased under Contract No. L1168501B1, funded through FDOT Grant G0350 and approved by the Board under Resolution No. R-936-16. The project was added to the FY 2026-30 Five-Year Implementation Plan of the People's Transportation Plan. No public comment is stated in this document.

Miami-Dade County is seeking approval to use $3,896,702.00 from the Charter County Transportation Surtax Bond Program to reimburse the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) operating fund.
