09.10.2026 - Infrastructure, Innovation, and Technology Committee Meeting

The Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners Infrastructure, Innovation, and Technology Committee met on September 10, 2026, to discuss a loan program related to environmental remediation funded by a utility fee. The committee debated the allocation and use of approximately $181 million in a fund accumulated over many years, with $125 million already programmed for capital improvement projects. Key procurement-related discussions focused on setting parameters for the loan program, including interest rates, caps on loan amounts, and a proposed two-year sunset period for the program. The committee emphasized the need for transparency regarding the work program and prioritization of funds, requesting the administration provide a detailed list of properties impacted and a rate card with recommended interest rates and caps before the final Board of County Commissioners meeting. The item was ultimately moved forward without a recommendation to the full board for further consideration, with plans to revisit and refine the program based on additional administrative input and committee feedback.
