I would like to pass a formal resolution requesting that 100% of all the impact fees from the proposed American Dream Mall project stay in Northwest Miami-Dade County, both in the incorporated areas and unincorporated areas, to alleviate the impact on our roads and public services. Additionally, to assist us in dealing with the day-to-day traffic impact, Miami Lakes should receive a percentage of all recurring revenue on a yearly basis to fund our strategic transportation initiatives which will hopefully alleviate the proposed mall's impact for Miami Lakers.
