WHEREAS, the Authority intends to issue the Bonds subject to approval by the Board and final approval by the Authority of the financing documents for the Project, which is more particularly described in the report prepared by the Executive Director of the Authority (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A);

WHEREAS, on August 31, 2011, the Authority held a public hearing, notice of which was published on August 17, 2011 in The Miami Herald (a copy of which notice is attached hereto as Exhibit B), for the purpose of giving all interested persons an opportunity to express their views in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, as required by Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); and

WHEREAS, after reviewing a copy of the transcript of the Authority's public hearing held on August 31, 2011, with respect to the Bonds (a copy of which transcript is attached hereto as Exhibit�C), and finding that the Project will inure to the benefit of the citizens of Miami-Dade County, this Board desires to approve the issuance of the Bonds for the purpose of complying with Section 147(f) of the Code.

HEADER
Date:

To: Honorable Chairman Joe A. Martinez
and Members, Board of County Commissioners

From: Carlos A. Gimenez
Mayor

Subject: Resolution Reapproving Issuance of Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds
for Waste Management, Inc. Project by Miami-Dade County Industrial Development Authority

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
The attached Resolution is being placed on the agenda for consideration by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on behalf of the Miami-Dade County Industrial Development Authority (IDA). This item approves the issuance of solid waste disposal revenue bonds (Bonds) by the IDA for Waste Management, Inc. (Company). Such approval is required by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act, Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (TEFRA).

Details of the revised projects and expenditures are included in the accompanying memorandum and exhibits from the Chairman of the IDA.

Scope
The project is located at 9350 NW 89 Avenue, which is within Commission District 12. There are also projects at six other existing Waste Management facilities located in other jurisdictions throughout the State of Florida.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
Neither the IDA nor Miami-Dade County has any liability with respect to the repayment of the Bonds.

Track Record
Issuance of the Bonds will be conducted and monitored by the Executive Director of the IDA.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
TEFRA requires that the Board approve the issuance of industrial development revenue bonds by the IDA after a public hearing has been held either by the IDA or by the Board. For efficiency, the Board has allowed the IDA to conduct the public hearing subject to review and ratification by the Board.

The Board previously approved the issuance of solid waste disposal revenue bonds by the IDA for the Company for purposes of TEFRA on May 4, 2010 (Resolution R-521-10). However, due to the economic downturn, the Company delayed the development of the projects which caused the TEFRA approval to expire on May 4, 2011. A new TEFRA hearing is also required because the Company significantly revised the list of proposed projects and expenditures. The IDA conducted a TEFRA hearing on August 31, 2011 and no one from the public appeared to comment on the project. Approval and ratification is now necessary from the Board.

For projects located within other counties, separate public hearings are required to be held in each County and must be ratified by their respective governing boards. Interlocal agreements between the IDA and each County will be executed to authorize the IDA to issue the revenue bonds for projects within their jurisdiction.
