Committee defers developer-related items 3B and 3C to July to keep related items together
Summary
Miami-Dade County administration requested—and the Housing Committee approved—a deferral of agenda items 3B and 3C to the July committee meeting so developer-related awards and rejections can be considered together; commissioners emphasized a July return and possible placement on the full BCC calendar before the summer break.
The Miami-Dade County Housing Committee granted the administration's request to defer agenda items 3B and 3C to the next committee meeting in July so those items can be considered together with related awards and rejections involving the same developer.
Chief Operating Officer Jimmy Morales told the committee the items should "travel" with three other items for the same developer and that grouping them at the same meeting was a matter of efficiency. Director Nathan ("Nathan"/Mr. Kogan in the transcript) and staff supported the plan to return the full set of items in July.
Commissioner Aileen Higgins expressed frustration at the delay and pressed for the items to return before the July calendar ends; the committee recorded that the administration committed to placing the items on the July committee agenda and the mover indicated support for returning to the committee in July, with the possibility of adding the items to a full Board of County Commissioners meeting for final approval at the end of July.
The deferral was approved by voice vote. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or the name of the member who moved the deferral.
