Regalado said the office worked with a program referred to in the meeting record as “Filabag,” and said the idea is to place stations where visitors can take a bag, pick up trash, and leave the bag at the station for collection.

“...we're really asking people to be stewards of the space, and it's been very, very popular,” Regalado said. “They really do great work.” Regalado asked that his office be connected with other commissioners’ staff and with the parks department to identify locations and logistics.

Commissioners and staff discussed operational considerations: the number of visitors at locations such as Crandon Park and Bill Baggs (which Regalado said are so heavily used that sites sometimes close early), overflowing trash receptacles during peak periods, and reliance on volunteers who regularly clean these sites. Regalado said the pilot has been tested at some spots in Crandon and recommended Haulover Beach as another likely site.

Action taken at the meeting was procedural: the body moved the agenda to the next Board meeting on June 26 (motion to move the rest of the agenda was made by Commissioner Rick Steinberg and carried by voice without objection), so item 3D will be taken up on that date. Commissioners instructed staff to connect offices with the bag-distribution program and to consult the parks department about collection logistics; no funding, contract, or implementation timeline was approved at this session.

Why it matters: Trash at beaches and parks can enter the county’s waterways; establishing easy, visible ways for visitors to collect and leave trash could reduce littering between large, organized cleanup events. The program as described relies on volunteers and parks operations for ongoing collection and maintenance.

What was not resolved: The meeting record does not include a budget, a named vendor beyond the shorthand “Filabag,” designated collection schedules, or a formal vote to fund or implement the pilot. Those items were not decided and remain subject to staff follow-up.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Miami-Dade County - Recreation and Tourism Committee - Jun 09, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioner Regalado introduced a proposal to place bag-distribution stations at high‑use parks and beaches so visitors can pick up and leave bags of collected trash; staff were directed to coordinate logistics with the parks department and the program (referred to in the record as “Filabag”).","taxTitle","Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",2864,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":44,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6530122,"Miami-Dade commissioners set resolution funding 30 summer arts and science camp grants totaling $875,000 for next meeting",28,1488000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3724285-76ad3fcb68a5e876990e4eb0bad474ad&start=1488&end=1516","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3724285-76ad3fcb68a5e876990e4eb0bad474ad/thumbnail_1488000.jpg","/articles/6530122/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Miami-Dade-commissioners-set-resolution-funding-30-summer-arts-and-science-camp-grants-totaling-875000-for-next-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530122-eb9ff6ad71bbba649b8e979d39802704/orig.mp4?Expires=1770445321&Signature=Ag6~ect85nUIwtqaF-Id2UJcUDC8yvsai7C7jX~swL9BwF1WdADr0JCZLzmS1x2OSchG06yQt~1KmPwxSSJDrDOCrB1KY-bfbv6HiCH~W47FLN6E9LU-kQDha09yfV9LnETZKNkgssOOIYHFjtPCGZvWVS-tYHoF-~gYWy3X-AO0-eOtyhY3~vab9m1tU-ni4lDmI679CP0yOEaMNzpYHIZ2bm-2bWgvCbLQvykU1sHdgzRDgG~aEQMAGBsxEM5Ig2nQpHfi4mU8wRgIOxk1EP~UaaRAES6oajyer6P5fQkDQa1rUp-LsuFRmxq-QDyZLsMCWIobB6PmX2DLQK1nuA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners moved a resolution authorizing 30 grants totaling $875,000 from the Department of Cultural Affairs’ fiscal year 2024–25 Summer Arts and Science Camps for Kids grants program to the board’s next meeting for consideration.

Staff member Tierney read the text of item 3A into the record as a resolution “authorizing the funding of 30 grants for a total of $875,000 from the Department of Cultural Affairs fiscal year 2024–25 summer arts and science camps for kids grants program for various entities.” The item description in the record lists the recipients only as “various entities”; specific grantees were not named during the discussion.

Commissioners did not debate the substance of the grant awards at today’s session. Instead, the body moved and approved setting the full agenda for referral to the next Board of County Commissioners meeting on June 26; the agenda motion was made by Commissioner Rick Steinberg and carried by voice with no objections. Because the entire agenda was advanced to the June 26 meeting, the resolution will be considered at that meeting rather than being voted on today.

Why it matters: The Department of Cultural Affairs’ summer camps grant program provides operating support for nonprofit or community organizations running arts- and science-focused camps for children. If approved at the June 26 meeting, the grants would fund programming for the upcoming summer season.

What was not resolved: The transcript does not record a sponsor for the resolution, a list of named grantees, or a vote on the resolution itself. Budget line-item allocations and individual award amounts were not specified in the meeting record.

Next steps: The resolution remains on the agenda for the Miami-Dade BCC meeting scheduled for June 26, per the agenda motion made at today’s session.","The Board of County Commissioners moved a resolution that would authorize 30 grants totaling $875,000 from the Department of Cultural Affairs FY24–25 Summer Arts and Science Camps for Kids grants program to the June 26 meeting for consideration; no vote on the substance was taken today.","actionData","errors"]
