Brilliant move from the person who has Doral as his priority. Thanks Commissioner Bermudez.

FROM THE DESK OF
JCB
THE HONORABLE JUAN CARLOS BERMUDEZ


I am very happy to share with you that today I had a productive meeting with Eric Trump, the Trump National Doral Resort team and other key stakeholders. I communicated to them the County administration’s misguided decision to construct a new Waste-to-Energy Facility (WTE) at the existing incinerator site in the City of Doral as well as to begin composting operations at other sites adjacent to Doral.

I shared with Eric Trump my frustration and disappointment at the lack of consideration this decision has for the residents of the City of Doral and for its businesses, including the Trump National Doral Resort that is the jewel of our community.

Instead of using the fire at the old Resources Recovery Facility as an opportunity to provide better for our residents, the recommendation is to keep the status quo. It is my sincere hope that the conversation I had today will continue to steer the discussion towards what is right for our community, our business and our way of life

Hopefully, this conversation makes it clear that we need to look for a comprehensive approach to our solid waste problem and, most importantly, put an end to any discussion of a WTE back in the City of Doral or near ANY residents.

It is my understanding that the Mayor will be requesting a deferral of this issue in order to have a real and comprehensive conversation about this topic with relevant stakeholders in the community.

I anticipate additional developments prior to the December 3, 2024, County Commission meeting, and I promise to keep you informed.

Your Commissioner,

Me alegra mucho poder compartir con ustedes que hoy tuve una reunión productiva con Eric Trump, el equipo del Trump National Doral Resort y otras partes clave interesadas. Les comuniqué la decisión mal orientada por parte de la administración del Condado, en el sentido de construir una nueva planta de Conversión de Residuos en Energía (WTE) en el sitio del incinerador existente en la Ciudad de Doral, así como de comenzar las operaciones de compostaje en otros sitios adyacentes a Doral.

Compartí con Eric Trump mi frustración y decepción por la falta de consideración que esta decisión significa para los residentes de la Ciudad de Doral y para sus empresas, incluyendo el Trump National Doral Resort, que es la joya de nuestra comunidad.

En lugar de aprovechar el incendio en la antigua Planta de Recuperación de Recursos como una oportunidad para ofrecer mejoras a nuestros residentes, la recomendación es mantener el statu-quo. Tengo la sincera esperanza de que la conversación que tuve hoy siga orientando el debate hacia lo que es mejor para nuestra comunidad, nuestros negocios y nuestra forma de vida.

Espero que esta conversación deje en claro que debemos buscar un enfoque integral para nuestro problema de desechos sólidos y, lo más importante, poner fin a cualquier discusión sobre una WTE en la Ciudad de Doral o cerca de CUALQUIER residente.

Tengo entendido que la alcaldesa solicitará que se postergue este asunto con el fin de que pueda darse una conversación real y completa sobre este tema con participación de las partes interesadas relevantes dentro de la comunidad.

Preveo novedades adicionales antes de la reunión de la Comisión del Condado, el próximo 3 de diciembre de 2024, y prometo mantenerlos informados.

Su Comisionado,

Juan Carlos "JC" Bermudez
Commissioner, District 12
