The 7-Day Reset Initiative for a Stronger Miami-Dade County
Building the Most Active, Connected, Healthy, and Community-Oriented County in America
Miami-Dade County is one of the most powerful economic engines in the United States of America. Millions of people move across this County every week. Aircraft arrive continuously into Miami International Airport. Cargo moves through ports and logistics corridors. Restaurants operate late into the night. Hotels receive visitors from all over the world. Construction projects continue expanding our skyline. Businesses open and close deals every day. Workers wake up before sunrise and return home after dark. Families balance responsibilities, financial pressure, school schedules, transportation challenges, and daily stress in one of the fastest-moving metropolitan environments in the country.
But despite all of this movement, modern urban life has quietly created a serious problem.
People are becoming disconnected from each other.
Residents often move through life without truly participating in the communities around them. Many individuals work all week, return home exhausted, spend time behind screens, and repeat the cycle again the next morning. Physical activity decreases. Real social interaction decreases. Community identity weakens. Parks become underutilized. Sidewalks become empty. Public spaces lose energy. Small businesses struggle to maintain consistent visibility while people spend more time isolated indoors.
A County can have billions of dollars in infrastructure and still feel emotionally disconnected if residents no longer participate in public life.
Under my administration, that changes.
The Active Sundays Initiative is designed to rebuild movement, interaction, participation, wellness, and community identity throughout all 34 municipalities of Miami-Dade County. This initiative is not a temporary campaign slogan. It is not a publicity event. It is a long-term County culture strategy designed to improve public wellness, strengthen local economic activity, increase public engagement, and create healthier communities across Miami-Dade County for future generations.
The concept behind Active Sundays is straightforward but powerful.
Every Sunday, residents are encouraged to leave their homes and participate in safe, lawful, healthy, outdoor, and community-oriented activities before the beginning of the workweek. Some residents may walk through parks. Some may visit local shopping districts. Others may organize bicycle rides, motorcycle rides, jogging groups, rollerblading groups, skateboarding meetups, family picnics, restaurant outings, or recreational gatherings. Some residents may simply walk through their neighborhoods for one or two hours and interact with the world around them instead of remaining isolated indoors.
The objective is movement.
The objective is activation.
The objective is participation.
The objective is rebuilding community culture in Miami-Dade County.
This initiative matters because the long-term success of a county is determined not only by roads, buildings, budgets, or technology systems. It is determined by whether residents feel healthy, connected, safe, engaged, and proud of where they live. A County where residents actively participate in public life becomes stronger economically, socially, psychologically, and culturally.
Miami-Dade County has all the ingredients necessary to become a national model for community activation. The County has waterfronts, parks, cultural districts, entertainment corridors, recreational spaces, fitness communities, cycling communities, motorcycle communities, restaurants, shopping areas, tourism zones, outdoor spaces, and year-round weather conditions that support public participation. Yet much of that infrastructure operates below its true potential because there is no organized cultural rhythm encouraging residents to consistently participate in community life.
Active Sundays creates that rhythm.
Every single week, residents will know that Sunday is the day where the County comes alive. Families go outside. Businesses become active. Parks become energized. Cyclists ride together. Residents discover new municipalities. People socialize. Restaurants receive increased traffic. Sidewalks become active. Communities become visible again.
This initiative is also about mental health.
Modern urban stress affects millions of people across the United States. Residents work long hours. Many struggle financially. Others feel isolated socially. Digital culture has created environments where people spend more time interacting through screens than interacting in person. Mental fatigue accumulates over time. Physical inactivity increases emotional exhaustion. Anxiety, stress, and emotional isolation quietly grow within communities.
Movement changes that.
Physical activity improves circulation, sleep quality, cardiovascular health, emotional regulation, and mental resilience. Even moderate outdoor participation one day per week can improve how residents mentally prepare for the workweek ahead. Sunlight, movement, social interaction, and outdoor participation help restore mental balance. Active Sundays creates a predictable and recurring opportunity for residents to reset physically and emotionally before Monday arrives.
This initiative is intentionally designed to be flexible.
There is no requirement that residents participate in one specific activity. The initiative recognizes that Miami-Dade County is culturally diverse and socially diverse. Some residents enjoy motorcycles. Others prefer bicycles. Some enjoy jogging. Others prefer walking. Some families may want to spend time at a park. Others may want to explore shopping districts, cafés, or restaurants. Some residents may participate alone while others organize group activities.
The important factor is participation in community life.
Under Active Sundays, Miami-Dade County residents are encouraged to explore all municipalities throughout the County. Residents may spend one Sunday visiting Wynwood, another Sunday walking through Brickell, another Sunday enjoying Coconut Grove, another Sunday relaxing in Miami Beach, and another Sunday exploring local parks or community corridors elsewhere across Miami-Dade County.
This creates interconnectivity across all 34 municipalities.
Residents begin experiencing the County as one interconnected regional community rather than isolated pockets separated by municipal boundaries. This strengthens regional identity while also increasing economic circulation across the County.
One of the strongest advantages of this initiative is the direct impact it can have on local businesses. Restaurants, cafés, retail stores, recreational businesses, and service providers throughout Miami-Dade County depend heavily on weekend activity. When residents consistently participate in Sunday activity patterns, businesses experience more predictable customer flow. Increased pedestrian activity supports small business sustainability, strengthens commercial corridors, and improves neighborhood vibrancy.
An active County economy is not driven only by large corporations.
It is driven by residents participating in local commerce consistently.
When people walk through business districts, they discover businesses they may never have noticed previously. Residents stop at coffee shops. Families enter local restaurants. Cyclists stop for food and refreshments. Visitors explore retail areas. Economic activity circulates naturally through movement and participation.
This initiative also creates opportunities for new social relationships to form organically. Residents who currently feel socially disconnected can meet others through recurring Sunday participation. Cycling groups can expand. Motorcycle communities can organize structured rides. Fitness communities can develop recurring events. Residents can meet people who share similar interests, lifestyles, and schedules.
The long-term psychological value of this cannot be overstated.
Communities become stronger when residents recognize each other, interact respectfully, and repeatedly occupy shared public space together.
This initiative also helps create safer environments.
When parks, sidewalks, and public spaces are consistently occupied by families, residents, cyclists, walkers, and businesses, public visibility increases naturally. Increased visibility discourages disorder and improves public comfort levels. Safe and active public environments create stronger communities than isolated and inactive public environments.
Under my administration, law enforcement agencies will understand that Sundays are intended to function as positive community activation days focused on safety, participation, and responsible recreation. Officers will maintain visible operations to support public safety while residents enjoy lawful recreational activity throughout the County.
However, Active Sundays is not a suspension of law enforcement.
Traffic laws remain fully enforceable.
Helmet laws remain fully enforceable.
DUI laws remain fully enforceable.
Noise ordinances remain fully enforceable.
Reckless driving laws remain fully enforceable.
Public safety remains non-negotiable.
If residents choose to participate responsibly, they should enjoy themselves safely and positively throughout the County. But if individuals decide to behave recklessly, dangerously, or unlawfully, enforcement action will occur. This initiative is built around responsibility, not chaos.
Helmet usage is especially important within this initiative. Under my administration, public awareness campaigns will strongly encourage protective equipment usage for bicycles, motorcycles, rollerblades, skateboards, scooters, and other recreational activities where safety equipment is appropriate or required under Florida law. The County should promote a culture where safety is normalized rather than ignored.
The initiative also provides an overlooked but important operational advantage for Miami-Dade County government itself.
When residents actively use public infrastructure every week, they identify deficiencies much faster. Damaged sidewalks, unsafe intersections, lighting problems, park maintenance deficiencies, signage issues, accessibility barriers, and operational concerns become immediately visible when residents consistently occupy public space.
An active population creates better accountability.
Residents become real-world observers of County infrastructure performance.
Under Active Sundays, residents will be encouraged to report maintenance problems and infrastructure concerns through official County systems so departments can respond more effectively. Over time, this creates a feedback loop that improves operational standards throughout Miami-Dade County.
The initiative also strengthens tourism perception.
Visitors who experience active public spaces, organized recreational culture, safe environments, vibrant business corridors, and visible community participation develop stronger impressions of Miami-Dade County as a destination. Tourism is not only about hotels and attractions. Tourism is also about energy, atmosphere, and visible community life.
A County filled with active residents creates a stronger image than a County where public spaces remain empty and disconnected.
Over time, Active Sundays can evolve into one of the largest recurring community participation systems in Florida and eventually the United States. Municipalities may begin coordinating themed community weekends. Local businesses may organize activation events. Parks may host structured wellness activities. Cycling and motorcycle communities may create recurring programs. Fitness organizations may expand outdoor participation opportunities. Families may establish recurring traditions centered around Sunday community activity.
This is how culture develops.
Not through isolated campaigns.
Not through temporary events.
But through repeated and consistent participation over time.
The County also benefits operationally because residents who explore different municipalities become more aware of the broader opportunities available across Miami-Dade County. Residents discover businesses, parks, recreational facilities, restaurants, waterfront areas, and community spaces they otherwise might never visit. This strengthens regional familiarity and encourages broader economic circulation throughout the County.
One of the most important aspects of Active Sundays is that the initiative is inclusive.
You do not need expensive equipment to participate.
You do not need to belong to a club.
You do not need to be wealthy.
You do not need to be an athlete.
A resident can participate simply by walking for one hour outside, visiting a local park, supporting a small business, or spending time in the community. The initiative is designed to create opportunities for all residents regardless of age, background, income level, or municipality.
The future of Miami-Dade County cannot be built only through infrastructure spending and development projects.
The future must also include healthier lifestyles, stronger communities, safer public participation, improved mental wellness, and more active neighborhoods.
A stronger County culture benefits everyone.
Businesses benefit.
Families benefit.
Municipalities benefit.
Residents benefit.
Public health benefits.
Tourism benefits.
Community safety benefits.
This initiative also aligns with the future direction of urban planning globally. Major cities around the world increasingly recognize that active public participation, walkability, recreational accessibility, and community-oriented public environments contribute directly to long-term economic and social success. Miami-Dade County has the opportunity to become a leader in that movement within the United States.
Under my administration, we are going to build systems that improve real quality of life for residents, not just systems that look good on paper. We are going to create environments where people actually want to participate in community life again. We are going to create safer, healthier, more active, and more connected municipalities throughout Miami-Dade County.
Active Sundays is more than recreation.
It is a long-term cultural infrastructure project for the future of Miami-Dade County.
It is about movement.
It is about wellness.
It is about public participation.
It is about economic circulation.
It is about safer and more active neighborhoods.
It is about rebuilding community identity in one of the largest and most important counties in America.
Miami-Dade County deserves leadership focused on the daily lives of residents.
Miami-Dade County deserves systems that improve physical health, mental resilience, community engagement, and local economic participation.
Miami-Dade County deserves to become the most active, connected, and community-oriented county in the United States.
Under my administration, that transformation begins with Active Sundays.
One County.
Moving Together.

EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 2028-XX
ACTIVE SUNDAYS PROGRAM
A COUNTYWIDE INITIATIVE FOR COMMUNITY WELLNESS, SAFE RECREATION, SMALL BUSINESS ACTIVATION, AND CIVIC PARTICIPATION IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, Miami-Dade County is one of the most dynamic and diverse counties in the United States, with residents, families, workers, students, seniors, visitors, and businesses operating across all 34 municipalities; and
WHEREAS, the strength of a county is measured not only by its tax base, skyline, transportation network, or volume of commerce, but also by the physical health, mental wellness, social connection, and civic participation of its residents; and
WHEREAS, many residents of major metropolitan counties experience long work weeks, extended commutes, high stress, limited recreation time, and reduced face-to-face community interaction, all of which can contribute to physical inactivity, social isolation, and weaker neighborhood engagement; and
WHEREAS, Miami-Dade County possesses parks, waterfronts, sidewalks, trails, retail corridors, restaurant districts, cultural areas, neighborhood business zones, and public spaces that can support stronger and more consistent resident participation when activated with clear purpose and public awareness; and
WHEREAS, the County has a compelling public interest in encouraging safe, lawful, healthy, family-oriented, and community-centered activity on Sundays so that residents may recharge before the work week, support local businesses, explore the County, utilize public spaces, and strengthen the civic culture of Miami-Dade County; and
WHEREAS, regular physical movement, outdoor participation, and social interaction are associated with improved mental wellness, stronger neighborhood visibility, healthier lifestyles, and greater public use of County infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, increased resident activity in public spaces can support small businesses, restaurants, retail corridors, and neighborhood commercial zones, while also helping residents identify infrastructure, maintenance, accessibility, and public service issues more quickly; and
WHEREAS, the County seeks to create an organized and positive culture of Sunday activity that promotes freedom with responsibility, recreation with safety, and community participation with full respect for Florida law and all applicable County and municipal regulations; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of this administration to build a resident-first County that encourages public life, healthy activity, stronger communities, and visible local participation throughout Miami-Dade County;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Victor J. Rosario, Mayor of Miami-Dade County, Florida, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Miami-Dade County Home Rule Charter and the laws of the State of Florida, do hereby order and direct as follows:
SECTION 1. TITLE AND PURPOSE
This Executive Order shall be known as the Active Sundays Program Executive Order.
The purpose of this Executive Order is to establish a County-supported, resident-first initiative encouraging Sunday participation in safe, lawful, healthy, and community-oriented activities throughout Miami-Dade County. The program is designed to strengthen physical wellness, mental resilience, family participation, local business activity, public space utilization, neighborhood visibility, and civic engagement across all 34 municipalities. The intent of this Order is not to impose a mandate on private residents, but to create a recurring County culture and operational framework that encourages participation, supports safety, and improves quality of life before the beginning of each work week.
SECTION 2. ESTABLISHMENT OF THE ACTIVE SUNDAYS PROGRAM
Miami-Dade County hereby establishes the Active Sundays Program as an official County-supported initiative. Active Sundays shall operate as a voluntary community activation program encouraging residents, families, neighborhood groups, clubs, and visitors to utilize Sundays for outdoor activity, recreation, exploration of local business districts, lawful group rides, walking, exercise, family outings, park usage, and positive participation in public life.
The Active Sundays Program shall be promoted as a day for movement, visibility, neighborhood connection, and responsible enjoyment of the County. It shall serve as a weekly opportunity for residents to leave their homes, re-engage with public spaces, support businesses, meet other residents, and participate in a healthier County culture.
SECTION 3. COUNTY POLICY DECLARATION
It is hereby declared to be the policy of Miami-Dade County that Sundays should be recognized and promoted as a day of positive community activation, safe recreation, lawful movement, and resident participation throughout the County. This administration finds that a stronger County requires more than economic output alone; it requires residents who feel connected to their communities, familiar with their municipalities, engaged with local businesses, and comfortable participating in the public life of the County.
Accordingly, County departments shall treat the Active Sundays Program as a resident-quality-of-life initiative with public safety, wellness, infrastructure, and economic relevance. Departments shall support the program in a manner consistent with their lawful authority, operational capacity, and budgetary appropriations.
SECTION 4. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the Active Sundays Program shall include improving physical activity among residents; encouraging healthy outdoor participation; supporting mental wellness through movement and social interaction; increasing visibility and use of parks, sidewalks, plazas, and commercial corridors; strengthening neighborhood engagement and civic pride; encouraging family-oriented outings; supporting local small businesses and restaurants; improving interconnection among municipalities; increasing public familiarity with County and municipal spaces; and creating a recurring cultural rhythm in which residents know that every Sunday Miami-Dade County is active, visible, and engaged.
The County further declares that this initiative is intended to help residents build healthier habits, form stronger local relationships, and participate in the County in a way that is safe, lawful, constructive, and economically beneficial.
SECTION 5. ENCOURAGED ACTIVITIES
Residents are encouraged to participate in a broad range of lawful Sunday activities, including but not limited to walking, jogging, bicycle riding, motorcycle riding in full compliance with law, rollerblading, skateboarding, family park visits, waterfront recreation, neighborhood exploration, restaurant visits, café visits, retail shopping, outdoor exercise, group meetups, and other lawful recreational and social activities.
The County recognizes that the strength of this initiative lies in flexibility. Some residents may choose structured group activities; others may simply wish to walk for one or two hours through a neighborhood or commercial corridor. Some may gather with family in a park; others may use Sunday to discover a new municipality, support a local restaurant, or connect with a cycling or motorcycle community. The County encourages participation without imposing a single model of participation.
SECTION 6. COUNTYWIDE SCOPE
The Active Sundays Program shall apply throughout Miami-Dade County and across all 34 municipalities. County departments shall promote the program as a countywide opportunity rather than limiting it to a small set of tourism districts or commercial centers. The purpose of this broad scope is to ensure that neighborhood parks, suburban plazas, local shopping areas, waterfront locations, family-oriented spaces, and community corridors throughout the County may benefit from increased resident activity.
County communications shall emphasize that Active Sundays belongs to the entire County. Residents are encouraged to enjoy their own neighborhoods, but they are also encouraged to respectfully explore other municipalities, support businesses in different parts of the County, and experience Miami-Dade as one interconnected community.
SECTION 7. PUBLIC SAFETY FRAMEWORK
Public safety shall remain central to the success of the Active Sundays Program. Nothing in this Executive Order shall be interpreted as limiting, suspending, or weakening the enforcement of Florida law, County ordinances, municipal regulations, or lawful public safety operations. The Active Sundays Program is intended to support safe recreation and community participation, not disorder or unlawful conduct.
County law enforcement and public safety personnel shall maintain visible readiness in active areas, parks, corridors, and recreational zones where participation is elevated. The purpose of such presence is to support a safe environment for families, residents, businesses, cyclists, pedestrians, riders, and visitors. The County encourages respectful, professional, and community-oriented policing consistent with lawful authority and public safety obligations.
Dangerous conduct, reckless operation of vehicles, public endangerment, intoxicated driving, unlawful street activity, disorderly conduct, and other violations shall remain fully subject to enforcement. Residents who participate responsibly should enjoy a safe and welcoming County environment. Residents who choose to behave recklessly or unlawfully should expect appropriate enforcement action.
SECTION 8. HELMET USE, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, AND SAFETY CULTURE
The County shall promote a strong culture of safety within the Active Sundays Program. All participants operating bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, rollerblades, skateboards, or similar equipment shall comply fully with Florida law and all applicable safety requirements. The County shall emphasize that helmets and protective equipment are not optional matters of style, but serious tools of injury prevention and public responsibility.
County public awareness efforts shall promote helmet use, visibility measures, hydration, heat safety, situational awareness, traffic awareness, respect for pedestrians, and safe group conduct. The County may partner with local organizations, safety groups, businesses, schools, and civic organizations to promote a Sunday culture that is active and enjoyable while remaining disciplined and safe.
SECTION 9. SMALL BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL CORRIDOR ACTIVATION
The County recognizes that Active Sundays can produce meaningful economic benefits for local businesses. Restaurants, cafés, retail stores, recreational businesses, neighborhood service providers, and hospitality-related establishments benefit when residents are moving through public corridors with purpose and consistency. The County therefore declares that the Active Sundays Program shall include a strong small-business activation component.
The County Mayor or Mayor’s designee shall direct relevant departments to identify ways to promote business participation through outreach, public communications, corridor promotion, and coordination with chambers of commerce, merchant associations, neighborhood organizations, and municipal partners. Nothing in this Order shall compel private business participation; however, County strategy shall be designed to encourage the creation of vibrant Sunday environments where increased foot traffic and resident exploration strengthen neighborhood commerce.
SECTION 10. PARKS, PUBLIC SPACES, AND RECREATIONAL ACCESS
The County Mayor or Mayor’s designee shall direct relevant departments to review public spaces, parks, pedestrian corridors, waterfront areas, and recreational access points that may play a role in the Active Sundays Program. Departments shall identify opportunities, subject to law and budget, to improve public usability, visibility, and basic readiness in support of lawful Sunday activity.
Such review may include park access, walkway conditions, signage, seating, shade, public restroom planning, pedestrian continuity, bicycle accommodation, lighting conditions, accessibility concerns, and general readiness of family-oriented public spaces. The purpose of this review is not to create an immediate unfunded capital mandate, but to align future infrastructure planning with the County’s goal of increasing safe, healthy, and regular public participation.
SECTION 11. COMMUNITY WELLNESS AND MENTAL HEALTH
Miami-Dade County recognizes that wellness policy is not limited to hospitals or clinics. A healthier County also requires environments and habits that reduce isolation, improve physical movement, and encourage human connection. The Active Sundays Program shall therefore be treated as a wellness-supportive initiative that encourages residents to reduce sedentary behavior, increase outdoor participation, and create healthier routines prior to the start of the work week.
The County recognizes that even modest Sunday participation may help residents reset emotionally, physically, and socially. Walking through a business corridor, riding with a club, spending time in a park, meeting neighbors, and engaging with community space all contribute to a stronger social environment. The County’s long-term objective is to foster a culture where Sunday participation becomes a stable part of County life and a visible expression of community strength.
SECTION 12. MUNICIPAL COORDINATION
The County Mayor or Mayor’s designee shall coordinate with municipalities throughout Miami-Dade County regarding voluntary participation in the Active Sundays Program. Municipalities are encouraged to support local Sunday activity through communication, community outreach, public space readiness, business coordination, and family-friendly programming consistent with their own authority.
The County’s intent is cooperative rather than adversarial. Municipalities shall be invited to identify parks, recreational spaces, retail areas, neighborhood corridors, and waterfront or cultural zones that may benefit from Sunday participation. The County shall encourage a model in which municipalities retain their local identity while also contributing to a countywide culture of movement and engagement.
SECTION 13. COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS AND PUBLIC OUTREACH
The County Mayor or Mayor’s designee shall develop a communications strategy for the Active Sundays Program. Such strategy may include digital outreach, County web materials, public service announcements, resident education, neighborhood promotion, safety reminders, and coordination with municipal and community partners.
County communications shall emphasize that Active Sundays is for everyone. The County shall promote walking, biking, riding, family participation, park use, local exploration, restaurant support, and community respect. Public messaging shall make clear that the program is about activity, wellness, visibility, and responsibility. The County shall also communicate clearly that safety rules remain in effect and that lawful participation is the standard.
SECTION 14. RESIDENT FEEDBACK AND INFRASTRUCTURE REPORTING
The County recognizes that increased use of public space improves government awareness of real-world conditions. Residents who regularly use streets, sidewalks, parks, plazas, and recreational corridors are often the first to identify deficiencies. The Active Sundays Program shall therefore include a resident feedback dimension.
The County Mayor or Mayor’s designee shall encourage residents to report observed issues such as damaged sidewalks, accessibility barriers, unsafe crossings, maintenance concerns, lighting failures, signage deficiencies, or other public infrastructure problems identified during Sunday participation. Relevant departments may use recurring patterns in such reporting to support future maintenance prioritization, operational review, and long-term planning.
SECTION 15. TRANSPORTATION, TRAFFIC AWARENESS, AND ORDERLY MOVEMENT
Relevant County departments shall consider transportation and traffic awareness issues associated with elevated Sunday participation. The County’s goal is not to create congestion or conflict, but to encourage orderly movement and shared public use. Departments may assess signage, corridor communication, traffic calming needs, pedestrian awareness opportunities, bicycle accommodation, and coordination with municipalities where useful and lawful.
The County shall emphasize that Active Sundays depends on mutual respect among motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, families, and businesses. Residents are expected to follow traffic laws, operate responsibly, and treat public space as a shared civic asset.
SECTION 16. FAMILY, YOUTH, AND INTERGENERATIONAL PARTICIPATION
The County declares that Active Sundays should strengthen families and encourage intergenerational participation. Parents, grandparents, guardians, children, young adults, and seniors should all be able to find lawful, healthy, and enjoyable ways to participate in community life on Sundays. The initiative is designed to create a County culture where residents do not feel they must spend every free day indoors or disconnected from their surroundings.
County departments and partners are encouraged to think broadly about how public spaces, events, parks, and business corridors can support family-oriented participation while preserving safety, public order, and respect for the community.
SECTION 17. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Within a reasonable time following issuance of this Executive Order, the County Mayor or Mayor’s designee shall initiate implementation planning for the Active Sundays Program. Such planning may include designation of lead departments or coordinators, creation of communications materials, outreach to municipalities and business groups, review of public space readiness, safety messaging, and recommendations for future improvement.
Implementation shall proceed in phases as appropriate. Initial emphasis shall be placed on public awareness, coordination, safety culture, and voluntary activation. Subsequent recommendations may address infrastructure improvements, expanded partnerships, and additional program development consistent with law and budget.
SECTION 18. NO WAIVER OF LAW; NO PRIVATE RIGHT CREATED
Nothing in this Executive Order shall be construed to waive any federal, state, County, or municipal law, rule, ordinance, or regulation. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to create any private right of action, entitlement, or enforceable claim against Miami-Dade County, its departments, officers, employees, or agents. All actions taken under this Executive Order shall remain subject to existing law, available appropriations, and lawful departmental authority.
SECTION 19. SEVERABILITY
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or provision of this Executive Order is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.
SECTION 20. EFFECTIVE DATE
This Executive Order shall take effect immediately upon signature and shall remain in effect unless modified, superseded, or rescinded in accordance with law.
