1. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an Agreement with the Village of Tequesta
(Village) for design of streetscape improvements on Old Dixie Highway, from
Tequesta Drive to the south driveway of the Tequesta Water Treatment Plant
(Project). Summary: Approval of the Agreement will allow joint funding for the design of the
Project. Old Dixie Highway is a Palm
Beach County (County) maintained right-of-way and the Village plans to install
streetscape improvements within its municipal limits. The County shall reimburse the Village
$32,269, which is 50% of the design cost of $64,538, for the Project. Contingent upon obtaining funding assistance,
the Village agrees to design, permit, and construct the Project, and shall maintain
it in perpetuity, in accordance with its County right-of-way permit. Pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes,
the County is authorized to enter into agreements with other governmental
entities. District 1 (YBH)
2. Staff recommends
motion to approve:
Change Order No. 16 to the contract with R & D Paving, LLC (R&D) dated

FM#444370-1-58-01. Summary: Change Order No. 16 provides a 264-day
contract time extension in accordance with Contract General Provision 8-7.3.2,
Contract Time Extensions. Palm Beach
County (County) performed a semi-final inspection for acceptance per Section
5-10.2 of the Contract and R&D then demobilized on February 10, 2025. This Change Order is to account for the time
to remobilize between February 10, 2025, and November 1, 2025 (264 calendar
days). Remobilization was necessary to
complete additional work to improve drainage as requested by the County. The
Contract was approved on September 13, 2022, in the amount of $5,862,084.91. The total Contract amount, including this
Change Order and previous change orders, is $6,791,719.75. Approval of this Change Order makes the final
acceptance date of the Contract December 13, 2025. Because this Project is funded by a federal
grant (R2021-1899) through the Florida Department of Transportation’s Local
Agency Program, the Small Business Development Ordinance is not
applicable. The Project is
complete. Districts 2 & 6
(YBH)

Contract (Contract) dated August 19, 2025 (R2025-1042), with Gerelco Traffic Controls, Inc. (Gerelco)
to construct a mast arm traffic signal at the intersection of 15th Street/L.A. Kirksey Street and Tamarind
Avenue, Palm Beach County (County) Intersection ID Number 25500
(Project). Summary: Approval of this Work Order will allow Gerelco to construct the Project. Per County PPM CW-F-050, this Work Order
exceeds the threshold relating to staff approvals of Work Orders to annual
contracts, thus requiring approval from the Board of County Commissioners
(BCC). Prior to and including this Work
Order, $3,119,807 of the Gerelco not to exceed
Contract amount of $10,000,000 have been spent or encumbered. On August 19, 2025, the BCC approved the

5. Staff recommends
motion to adopt: a
Resolution supporting the Westgate Belvedere Homes Community Redevelopment
Agency’s (Westgate CRA) application for the Federal Transportation Alternatives
Program (TAP) grant funding to construct sidewalks, bike lanes, bus shelter
concrete pads, and pedestrian-scale streetlights on Wabasso Drive from Westgate
Avenue to Okeechobee Boulevard in the North Westgate Estates area (Project). Summary: Adoption of this Resolution will comply with
a Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) requirement that, for federally funded
projects, a resolution is necessary to establish the local agency’s commitment
to design, construct, operate and maintain the Project. Since Palm Beach County (County) is a
certified agency for the Florida Department of Transportation’s Local Agency

Recent changes to the Florida AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) have
eliminated support for health insurance premiums, affecting 1,568 people with
HIV/AIDS in the County. Additional EHE grant funds will be allocated to ensure
continuity of care for disenrolled ADAP members. In

Administration (FAA) and Palm Beach County (County/Sponsor) to support the
completion of the Runway 10L/28R Rehabilitation Project (Project) at the Palm

concurrent with execution of the contract for construction of the Project; and
C)
authorize the Clerk & Comptroller to make an advance payment of $464,349.50 to
the FAA in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement.
Summary: The Agreement provides for FAA engineering
support, construction oversight and flight inspections required for the Project
and its impacts on FAA navigational aid equipment. Because the FAA cannot utilize its appropriated
funds to perform project-specific work for external entities, the FAA requires
a reimbursable agreement to recover the cost of the work. Under the Agreement,
the FAA will provide a computer-aided engineering graphic drawing standards
package, a resident engineer and project engineer during construction, and
technical assistance, review design drawings, complete a required operational
risk management and integrated risk management checklist process, attend
project meetings, refurbish the precision approach path indicators, perform all
connections between the fiber optic termination points and FAA electronic
equipment, perform ground and flight checks, and conduct a contractor’s
acceptance inspection and joint acceptance inspection. These activities will be
coordinated with the County and its Project construction manager. The Agreement requires advance payment from
the County for the entire estimated cost
of the services provided under the Agreement in the amount of $464,349.50,
which will be held as a non-interest bearing deposit and must be received by
the FAA prior to commencing services. Pursuant to the Palm Beach County

3. SUMMARY (cont’d.): One exception is when
the payment is deemed necessary for County business. Since this Agreement
cannot be performed without an advance payment by the County to the FAA, the
advance payment is necessary for County business. The Agreement contains
broader indemnification by the County than that approved by PPM CW-F-049. The
Agreement requires the County to indemnify the FAA and its officers, agents,
and employees for all claims of any nature arising out of the performances of
this Agreement. The Risk Management Department and County Attorney’s Office
have reviewed the indemnification requirements for the grant and advised staff
accordingly. Given that liability is limited to claims arising out of the
performance of this Agreement staff recommends Board of County Commissioner
(BCC) approval. The Agreement was provided to the Director of the Department of
Airports (Department) for execution; therefore, this item provides for a
delegation of authority to the County Administrator or designee, who will in
this case be the Director of the Department. Execution of the Agreement will be
concurrent with the execution of the contract for construction of the Project.

hurricanes through targeted funding and directives that enhance efforts to
protect our inland waterways, coastlines, shores, and coral reefs, all of which
serve as invaluable defenses against flooding. Since its establishment in 2021,
the State of Florida has invested a total of $1.8 billion to support eligible
entities. The WRNWWTF project includes construction of a new emergency
generator in an outdoor enclosure, installation of a new power transformer, and
installation of a precast concrete electrical building elevated to a finished
floor elevation of 15 feet with new electrical equipment, along with additional
site improvements. The WRWWTF project includes demolition of the existing administratiion and electrical buildings, design,
permitting, and construction of two (2) new electrical buildings and associated
site improvements. Pursuant to Section 2-80.22 of the Small
Business Development (SBD) Ordinance and County PPM CW-O-043, these projects
are exempt from the SBD requirements. The agreements contain a limitation of
FDEP’s liability to compensatory damages in an amount no greater than the sum
of the unpaid balance of compensation due for goods or services rendered
pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of the Agreement. FDEP’s liability
is further capped at $100,000. Risk Management and the County Attorney’s Office

that this is a grant agreement with little risk of FDEP incurring liability to
the County beyond the grant amount, staff recommends Board approval. The

authority to sign all future time extensions, task assignments, certifications,
other forms associated with this Agreement, and any other necessary minor
amendments that do not substantially change the scope of work or terms and
conditions of the Agreement was approved at that time. The amended Period of
Performance provides additional time to complete the construction Project and
subsequent reporting tasks to finalize the reimbursement process. The Amendment
also modifies the Project footprint from three (3) islands down to two (2)
islands, reducing the acres of red mangrove habitat created from 7.8 to 4.7
acres, oyster reef acres from 1.7 to 1.2 acres and seagrass habitat acres from
26.8 to 20 acres. In accordance with PPM CW-O-051, all delegated contracts,

motion to:
A) approve a 20-year term
Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) with the Town of Hypoluxo (Town) to define the
Town’s and Palm Beach County’s (PBC’s) native ecosystem restoration,
management, development, and maintenance responsibilities for the 97.64-acre
Hypoluxo Scrub Natural Area (Natural Area); and
B)
delegate authority to
the County Administrator, or designee, to sign all future time extensions
and any minor amendments that do not
substantially change the terms, scope of work or conditions of the Agreement.
Summary: On October 2, 2001,
PBC and the Town entered a 15-year term Interlocal Agreement (October 2, 2001,
Agreement, R2001-1638) to establish restoration, management, development, and
maintenance responsibilities for the Natural Area. Pursuant to the October 2,
2001, Agreement, the Town agreed to perform most of the management,
development, and maintenance responsibilities for the northern 2.53-acre
portion of the Natural Area, while PBC agreed to retain primary restoration,
management, development, and maintenance responsibilities for the remainder of
the Natural Area. The October 2, 2001, Agreement was amended on November 6,
2001, (First Amendment, R2001-1950) and August 19, 2003, (Second Amendment,
R2003-1224) to extend the term of the Agreement so the Town could qualify for
grants. The Town subsequently constructed/installed, managed, and maintained
public use facilities and other amenities within the northern portion of the
Natural Area at no cost to PBC. These construction, management and maintenance activities
have resulted in an estimated savings of $1.5M for the County as these
activities are typically implemented by the County, with Hypoluxo Scrub being
the only exception throughout PBC’s Natural Areas program. Based on evolving
operational considerations and the Town’s investments to date, the Town has
requested that PBC assume primary management, development, and maintenance
responsibilities typical for all other County Natural Areas for the northern
2.53-acre portion of the Natural Area, which are currently outlined in this
Agreement.

4. SUMMARY (cont’d.): If the Agreement is approved, PBC through
its Department of Environmental Resources Management (ERM) will have primary
responsibility for all native ecosystem restoration, management, development,
and maintenance activities at the Natural Area. PBC will assume responsibility
for providing network connectivity to Florida Department of Law Enforcement
cameras that monitor activities within the northern portion of the Natural Area
and will amend the Town’s Information Technology Services Interlocal Agreement
to remove charges associated with the Natural Area (see related Agenda Item
3U-1). The Town will continue to be
responsible for certain structures/amenities constructed /installed within the
northern 2.53-acre portion of the Natural Area.
The Town also will continue to open and close the parking lot
entrance/exit gate on a daily basis. This Agreement will supersede and replace
in all respects the October 2, 2001, Agreement, as amended. Contractor and
material costs associated with necessary land management services, and overdue
minor structural maintenance and repairs are expected to range between $5,000
and $10,000 per year over the next five (5) years. Larger-scale maintenance,
repair, and/or replacement of PBC-responsible structures/amenities will be subject
to annual appropriations by PBC’s Board of County Commissioners (BCC).
ERM-responsible restoration, management, and maintenance activities within the
northern 2.53 acres of the Natural Area will be performed by distributing the
additional duties among existing ERM staff; no additional staff equivalents are
requested. District 7 (SF)

A) a downward Budget Amendment of
$750,000 in the Environmental Resources Capital Projects Fund (3654) to
reduce capital project appropriations associated with Frenchman’s Forest
Recreational and Public Use Facilities (PUF), Lake Park Scrub Trails and PUF,
and Acreage Pines Boardwalk Trails and Observation Platform projects, due to
the anticipated grant funding no longer being available; and
B) a Budget Transfer of $691,100
within the Natural Areas Fund (1226) from the Transfer to Env Res Capital Fund
3654 budget line item to the Other Contractual Services budget line item to
re-allocate funds originally budgeted as matching funds for anticipated grants
that are no longer available.
Summary: Funds were budgeted as local match for
anticipated grant-funded projects; however, those grant funds are no longer
available. On April 30, 2026, Environmental Resources Management (ERM) was
informed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Recreational
Trails Program (RTP) that, due to current funding balances and Federal
guidance, the 2026/2027 RTP funding cycle has no identified funding available
for non-motorized projects. ERM was also informed that, for the 2025/2026 RTP
grant cycle, the Federal Highway Administration withheld all funds from
Florida’s RTP program because no motorized trail project applications were
submitted. As a result, none of the 28 2025/2026 RTP non-motorized trail
applications, including ERM’s application for Lake Park Scrub, were funded. The
following three (3) Capital Improvement Plan projects were established with the
expectation that grant funding would be secured and County funds would serve as
the required local match: Frenchman’s Forest Recreational and PUF, Lake Park
Scrub Trails and PUF, and Acreage Pines Boardwalk Trails and Observation
Platform. Because the anticipated grant funding is no longer available, the
related project budgets and associated transfer revenues should be reduced at
this time. Countywide (SF)

(First Amendment), with Indian Trail Improvement District (ITID) for the
Acreage Community Park South Expansion Project (Project) in the amount of not
to exceed $3,000,000 from the
Infrastructure Surtax (IST) Fund. This Amendment removes the skate park and bathroom building from the Project Scope of
Work and allows for funds to be used for procurement of security cameras to
monitor the Project and extends the Initial Agreement term for 18 months,
through August 7, 2027. Summary:
Acreage Community Park is located at 140th Avenue North in unincorporated
Palm Beach County is managed and maintained by ITID. This 45-acre park features
athletic fields, multipurpose fields, a track, amphitheater, playground, picnic
facilities, walking paths and restrooms.
ITID currently leases approximately 28-acres of Acreage Community Park
(Acreage Community Park South) from Palm Beach County (County). On April 4,
2017, the County adopted a project plan to implement the IST funded projects
and included an allocation of $3,000,000 towards the construction of a
recreation center at the Project site. On April 27, 2022, the ITID Board
approved Resolution No. 2022-010 requesting that the funding assigned for the
recreation center be reallocated to outdoor recreation amenities such as
Multipurpose Field B, a skate park, and associated infrastructure. On October
3, 2023 the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the First Amendment,
which revised the Project’s Conceptual Site Plan by reallocating funds set
aside for the installation of artificial turf on the new Multi-Purpose Field B
to the existing Multi-Purpose Field A. In a letter dated February 2, 2026, ITID
requested BCC approval to (i) remove the skate park and bathroom building from
the Phase 2 scope of work due to increased actual costs associated with the
artificial turf project; (ii) authorize the use of IST funds for the purchase
of security cameras to monitor the Project; and (iii) extend the term of the
Agreement by 18 months due to delays in obtaining required permits from the
South Florida Water Management District. These proposed changes will involve no
change in the allocation to the ITID of the not to exceed amount of $3,000,000

for the period October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Summary: This Contract between the County and LASPBC ensures the seamless

representation, and education to approximately 8,000 disadvantaged persons
throughout Palm Beach County in order to protect their safety, enhance their

Funding for the state mandated portion of the LASPBC contract is a local

pass-through for state funds on behalf of the Florida Office of the Attorney
General (OAG), provides $19,577.52 in
funding to Palm Beach County Department of Public Safety Division of Victim
Services (DVS) through the award of annual grants to support and enhance
sexual assault recovery services.
Through Subcontract 25OAG26, (CFSA 41.010) (R2026-0430), DVS provides
comprehensive services to primary and secondary victims of sexual violence.
This First Amendment to the Standard Subcontract 25OAG26 deletes Attachment I,
C.4.1. and replaces it with a requirement for DVS to provide a completed
Monthly Expenditure Report (MER) by the 15th day of the month
following the month in which services are provided. This report verifies that funds are spent on
allowable costs, are limited to no more than 15% in administrative expenses and
are used to enhance the provision of services and increase the number of
victims served. It also requires that
the minutes of any Board of Directors meetings held during the previous month
are provided at the time of each MER submission. In accordance with this First
Amendment, it shall begin on March 1, 2026, and shall be retroactive to that
date if executed thereafter. Grant-funded services are provided by a Victim
Services Project Coordinator who specializes in post-assault follow-up care,
including coordination of comprehensive medical follow-up and connection to
supportive services. Activities include crisis intervention; advocacy and
accompaniment; information and referral; sexual-violence-specific outreach;
community education; system coordination; and participation in specialized
training and workgroups, with required documentation of services. From July 1,
2024 through June 30, 2025, DVS served 940 new and ongoing victims, providing
11,892 units of service. The Subcontract supports a fraction of the salary and
benefits of the Project Coordinator. Loss of this funding would require the DVS
to identify alternate funding sources or eliminate the position. R2006-0095/0096 authorized the County

Summary: The Florida Department of Health (DOH) is responsible for ensuring
access to medical evaluations for children involved in the child protection
system, including those referred through the Florida Department of Children and
Families (DCF) or Community-Based Care (CBC) lead agencies. To meet this
responsibility, DOH contracts with a qualified local provider to deliver these
services. In Palm Beach County, the DOH provider is Camelot Community Care,
Inc. (Camelot). Chapter 39.304 (5),
Florida Statutes provides that the
county in which the child is a resident shall bear the initial costs of medical
evaluations of the allegedly abused, abandoned, or neglected child. Therefore, the
Public Safety Department Division of Victim Services entered into a contract
with Camelot to provide funding for medical evaluations for up to 875 children
per fiscal year, who reside in Palm Beach County. This service is based on a rate of $300 per
exam for a not-to-exceed amount of $262,500 per fiscal year. A medical evaluation is defined as a complete
history and physical examination of a child.
Forensic medical evaluations for children who are alleged victims of
sexual abuse are excluded from this contract as those exams are funded by the

3. Summary: The proposed millage rates for Countywide,
Library, and Fire Rescue MSTU are at the current year millage rate and above
the rolled-back rate. There is no
millage rate for the Jupiter Fire MSTU, as operations will be transitioned to
the Town of Jupiter effective October 1, 2026.
These millage rates are not-to-exceed rates, and may be lowered but not
raised at the September public hearings, without additional Truth in Millage (TRIM)
notices being sent out. If the rates are raised at the first September public
hearing, new notices to the property owners must be prepared by the Property
Appraiser and mailed between ten (10) to 15 days prior to the second September
public hearing at the County’s expense.
Although permitted under Florida Statutes, completing this task within
the allotted timeframe is logistically unfeasible for Palm Beach County due to
the high number of parcels. Additionally, with an estimated expense of
approximately $500,000, it is also impractical. The rates cannot be raised at
the second September public hearing. Countywide (DB)

Revenue Bonds (IDRB) Program is provided by the Department of Housing and
Economic Development (HED) and the County Attorney’s Office, including
financial and project eligibility analysis, review and preparation of
ordinances, agendas, resolutions, agreements, and all related documents
necessary to facilitate bond issuances, refundings,
refinancings, amendments, modifications, and Tax Equity and Fiscal
Responsibility Act (TEFRA) approvals. Bonds may be issued by the Palm Beach
County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) or through a Facility Agency,
including Housing, Health, and Education authorities. On June 19, 2007, the BCC
adopted Resolution R2007-0927 establishing policies and fees for the County’s
IDRB Program. On July 10, 2012, the BCC adopted Resolution R2012-1010
establishing maximum financing fees for for-profit and non-profit bond
applications and eliminating financing fees for bond refundings
and refinancings. On April 10, 2018, the BCC adopted Resolution R2018-0606
simplifying the fee structure and aligning Palm Beach County’s fees with those
charged by other counties throughout the State. To align the fee structure with
current administrative costs and market practices, these recommendations are
being presented. The recommended fee schedule would maintain the existing
$1,500 application fee for all bond issuances, refundings,
refinancings, amendments, modifications, TEFRA approval, and related bond
actions processed through Palm Beach County or a Facility Agency for for-profit
and non-profit entities. We propose adding a flat $5,000 administrative fee for
any issuance, amendment, modification, TEFRA approval, change or update to
existing bond documents, agreements, or related financing instruments issued
through the County or a Facility Agency, including Housing, Health, and
Education authorities. The proposed changes have been reviewed and discussed
with representatives of the Health Facilities Authority, Educational Facilities
Authority, and the Housing Finance Authority. Bond issuances, refundings, and refinancings will continue to be subject to

only be made to one (1) project. A selection committee consisting of three (3)
voting members met at a public meeting held on May 21, 2026, and recommended
funding a $1,000,000 loan to Pine Bay
Landings LLC, (an affiliate of The NRP Group) for the construction of Pine Bay Landings (Project), an
affordable rental development to be located at 5490 Purdy Lane in West Palm
Beach, FL (unincorporated Palm Beach County). The Project will consist of a
newly constructed 86-unit multi-family rental development comprised of six (6)
two (2)-story garden style buildings. All units will be HOME-assisted units.
The development will be split between 62 two (2)-bedroom / two (2)-bathroom
units and 24 three (3)-bedroom / two (2)-bathroom units. A total of 13 units
(or 15%) will be set-aside for households with income no greater than 30% AMI
($38,550 for a family of four [4]), 13 units (or 15%) will be set-aside for
households with income no greater than 50% AMI ($64,250 for a family of four
[4]), nine (9) units (or 11%) will be set-aside for households with income no
greater than 60% AMI ($77,100 for a family of four [4]), and 51 units (or 59%)
will be set-aside for households with income no greater than 70% AMI ($89,950
for a family of four [4]). The County
funding contribution equates to $11,628 per unit. The HOME-assisted units will
remain affordable for no less than 50 years.

8. SUMMARY
(cont’d.): On April 29, 2026, the Selection Committee
convened in a duly noticed public meeting, and recommended funding approval for
two (2) projects: 1) Washington Park Estates; and 2) Aero Village. Due to
limited availability of funding available through the RFP, the Selection
Committee also recommended denial of eight (8) projects: 1) Broadway
Apartments; 2) Pinnacle on Sixth; 3) Pine Bay Landings; 4) Grace Church; 5)
Mount Calvary; 6) City View; 7) Isaiah Clark Apartments; and 8) Great Blue
Residences. All respondents were notified of the Committee’s funding
recommendations and advised of the RFP protest procedures. On May 6, 2026, the County received a formal
protest regarding the RFP recommendation process. Following review of the
protest from Pinnacle on Sixth, LLC and supporting documentation, Washington
Park Estates was determined to have not submitted required documentation and
therefore was removed from further consideration under the RFP leaving
$13,206,901 of funding remaining available. As a result, Broadway Apartments,
originally ranked third by the Selection Committee advanced in ranking. On May 15, 2026, HED issued a Best and Final
Offer (BAFO) request to all responsive proposers in an effort to maximize the
use of available funding resources. In response to the BAFO request, Broadway
Apartments submitted a revised funding request in the amount of $12,500,000,
which enabled HED to recommend the project for funding within the available
allocation. All other terms and conditions of the proposal remain unchanged.

recommendations and advised of the RFP protest procedures. County staff has subsequently identified
additional available funding resources to support multifamily housing
developments beyond those previously recommended for funding. Accordingly,
funding remains available to support housing projects. The available funding
resources include remaining HBLP funds not previously awarded through the RFP

recommended for funding in an effort to maximize the use of available housing
funding resources and evaluate potential funding recommendations utilizing
multiple County housing funding sources. As the result of a protest, the
highest ranked Affordable project was determined not eligible for funding due
to a technical omission of the required site plan information and excluded from

3. Staff recommends
motion to approve: an Interlocal Agreement (ILA)
with Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties for the cost-share support of
services for the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (Compact) in
the amount of $95,000 effective October 1, 2026, and ending on September 30,
2029. Summary: This ILA replaces the Agreement approved by Resolution
R2025-1789, which expires on September 30, 2026, and continues the regional
partnership among Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties, which
Palm Beach County has participated in since its adoption by the Board of County
Commissioners (BCC) on December 15, 2009 (R2009-2170). The ILA designates
Broward County as the fiscal agent responsible for administering a contract
with the Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC), a not-for-profit
organization that provides operational support, project management, and
facilitation services for the Compact. The Compact advances regional
coordination on resilience initiatives in the built environment by developing
policy platforms, facilitating regional workshops and annual summits, providing
technical support, sharing knowledge, and pursuing funding that address shared
risks such as flooding, coastal impacts, and extreme weather events. The Compact’s
capacity building and technical support is significant. As of October 2025,
Southeast Florida jurisdictions have received 59% of the total Resilient
Florida statewide funding, securing over $1 billion in regional resilience
funding. On December 2, 2025, the BCC approved an amendment reducing Palm Beach
County’s annual contribution to $80,000 as a short-term budget strategy to
evaluate whether the Compact could operate effectively with less County
contributions. During Compact planning, the county lead representatives and ISC
determined that a minimum of $295,000 is necessary for ISC to maintain its critical coordination role and continue
delivering essential services to sustain the Compact and determined that a
revised cost-share structure is necessary. Under the proposed ILA, Palm Beach,
Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties will each contribute up to $95,000 annually,
and Monroe County will contribute up to $10,000 annually, subject to annual
budget approvals. This represents a reduction from the previously approved
$100,000 Palm Beach County contribution and reflects a rebalanced cost-share
among member counties. Monroe County’s lower contribution reflects a
proportional share based on its comparatively smaller fiscal scale, with an
annual budget of approximately $673 million and a population of roughly 82,000
residents. Monroe County’s Board approved the Compact Agreement on May 20,
2026. Miami-Dade and Broward Counties will present to their Boards on July 16
and August 20, 2026, respectively, before the agreement takes effect on October
1, 2026. Countywide (RM)
