DOING WELL FOR BAR: Florida International University had the second-highest passing rate and the University of Miami had the lowest as the Supreme Court of Florida last week released its February results for the Florida Bar exam, with nearly 62% of takers passing. Across Florida, 332 of 537 first-ti me test takers made the cut. Florida State University had the highest percentage passing, 86%, with six of the seven succeeding. FIU had 17 of its test-takers pass, 81%, and Ave Maria University saw five of seven students make the grade, or 71%. The University of Miami had 11 of 28 students succeed, a 39% passing rate.  AMAZON SHUTDOWN: Miami-Dade commissioners have voted unanimously to tell Mayor Daniella Levine Cava to use all available means to enforce requirements that Amazon employ at least 325 people on former county land that the company purchased at a discount in 2020 with a provision requiring the hiring and employment of 325 workers until 2041. Amazon opened the building in Naranja less than two years ago after a delay beyond the original use date but announced this year that it is to close the site in July for two years as it reconfigures the new building. The county’s Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee last week approved without discussion the measure by Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins seeking to enforce the agreement with Amazon. BUS SYSTEM TRIMS: Changes in the Miami-Dade bus system that will see one route eliminated and three others cut back in service passed the county’s Transportation Committee last week without discussion. The county stands to save more than $2 million by making the planned cuts on July 20. Other changes to the system that date of lesser magnitude have not yet been announced. The larger changes now go to the full county commission for necessary approval. WASTE ADVISORY PANEL: A hearing was put off on naming a solid waste advisory board for Miami-Dade to help commissioners develop a strategy to deal with a pressing issue in a “holistic, comprehensive, and long-term waste management solution that is both financially and environmentally sustainable,” legislation that had been before the Infrastructure, Innovation and Technology Committee said. The advisory board would have 15 voting members, with each commissioner, the mayor and the Miami-Dade County League of Cities naming one. All 15 would have to be chosen from a menu of 10 preferred backgrounds. These are some of the FYIs in this week’s edition.
