21 items and how they turned out

1GPublic comment heard

Public comment before the agenda was set (Sea Aquarium, affordable housing financing, red tape resolution, Flagler lease, Road.Space settlement)

Countywide · items 4M, 10A2, 11A2, 11A5, 11A7

Speakers asked the board to slow the Virginia Key Sea Aquarium plan amendment (4M) and supported affordable-housing financing and the Flagler lease. One asked for a deferral of the Road.Space settlement (11A7).

2A1 · File 261855Reconsideration failed · veto stands

Mayor's veto of the resolution pausing spending on closure and demolition of the Resources Recovery Facility (Doral)

Resources Recovery Facility, Doral · Countywide
2–7Moved: Raquel A. Regalado · No: Bermudez, Cohen Higgins, Gilbert, Hardemon, Lopez, Milian Orbis

The board refused 2–7 to reconsider its Oct 6 directive halting demolition spending at the Doral waste-to-energy site. A motion to override the mayor's veto then died for lack of a second, so the veto stands.
