Port Resiliency Committee adjourns after setting agenda and deferring item 2a

The Miami-Dade County Port and Resiliency Committee convened on July 9, 2025, with three members present, establishing a quorum despite the absence of Commissioners Bermudez and Gilbert. Chairwoman Steinberg led the meeting, which began with a moment of silence for the victims in Texas, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

The agenda was briefly modified to include an additional item, labeled 2a, which was later deferred to an unspecified date. Commissioner Coughin Higgins expressed the need for this deferral, indicating ongoing discussions with the mayor on a related matter. The motion to defer was seconded by Commissioner Hardiman and passed unanimously.

Following this, the committee moved through the remaining agenda items without any questions or further discussion from board members. The balance of the agenda was approved by acclamation.

In summary, the meeting was characterized by a brief agenda, a moment of reflection, and a focus on collaboration regarding future discussions, particularly concerning item 2a. The committee's next steps will depend on the outcomes of ongoing discussions with the mayor.
