REPORT:
Chairman Barreiro explained the only way to make budget priorities would be by tabulating the commissioners� top 20 priorities. He noted 22 proposed priorities had three or more commissioners that listed them as priorities.
Commissioner Sosa noted alternative funding for the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department should be a budget priority.
In response to Commissioner Heyman�s concern regarding priorities that were not included in the 22 Commission budget priorities, Chairman Barreiro noted each Commissioner could individually address budget priorities with the County Manager throughout the budget process. He encouraged each Commissioner to meet with the County Manager to discuss their individual budget priorities.
Hearing no other questions or comments, it was moved by Commissioner Diaz that the County Commission adopt the 22 budget priorities from the matrix that three or more commissioners selected as budget priorities. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Gimenez, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 12-0 (Commissioner Souto was absent).

CHARTER REVIEW(Chairperson)

REPORT:
Chairman Barreiro noted the issue regarding ballot questions to amend the County�s Home Rule Charter was whether they should be placed on the August 26, 2008, or November 4, 2008, ballot. He pointed out questions to amend the Charter were County issues and he suggested voters could better analyze the issues if the questions were placed on the shorter August 26, 2008, ballot.
Commissioner Gimenez pointed out the voter turnout would be higher for the November 4, 2008, election than August 26, 2008.
Commissioner Heyman noted the Charter questions were important issues to County operations, and the November 4, 2008, election date would provide better opportunity to educate voters on the issues.
Commissioner Diaz questioned whether the County would have enough time to educate the voters on the issues if the questions were on the August 26, 2008, ballot.
Commissioner Sorenson noted November elections historically had drop-off, and many voters would not complete the entire ballot.
Following further discussion on which ballot the Commission should place questions to amend the Charter, Chairman Barreiro conducted a Straw Vote, and upon being put to a Straw Vote, a majority of the commissioners present voted in support of November 4, 2008.
Chairman Barreiro advised the Commission to consider November 4, 2008, as the election date as they drafted their proposed Charter amendments.

REPORT:
County Attorney Robert Cuevas read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.
Chairman Barreiro relinquished the Chair to Vice-Chairwoman Jordan.
It was moved by Commissioner Barreiro that this proposed ordinance be adopted. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Heyman.
Commissioner Diaz expressed concern that this proposed resolution did not include everyone in the community and that it would divide one sector of the community against another. He noted this proposed ordinance was reverse discrimination for excluding dependent extended family members of County employees from eligibility for benefits. Commissioner Diaz urged Commissioner Barreiro to amend this proposal to include extended family members. He suggested this proposed ordinance could cause collective bargaining problems if extended families were excluded. He questioned whether the other government bodies that extended health care benefits to domestic partners of employees had self-funded health insurance. He pointed out the County Commission adopted the wage ordinance to meet a need, and a need existed for extended family members dependent on County employees to be eligible for health insurance and other benefits.
In response to Commissioner Barreiro�s inquiry regarding the possibility of amending this proposed ordinance as urged by Commissioner Diaz, County Attorney Cuevas advised the proposed amendment would go beyond the scope of the advertised title of this proposed ordinance.
Commissioner Barreiro noted Commissioner Diaz�s proposed legislation to provide health insurance benefits to dependent extended family members of County employees was going through the Committee process and the Commission would vote on it when it came before them. He noted he would not accept Commissioner Diaz�s suggested amendment.
It was moved by Commissioner Diaz that this proposed ordinance be deferred. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Martinez.
Commissioner Seijas expressed concern regarding the unfairness of this proposed ordinance to exclude people in need. She explained the Agenda had proposals that requested funds for many activities, yet funding was the issue preventing the County from including all dependents of County employees in this proposed ordinance. Commissioner Seijas noted everybody deserved to have health insurance.
Commissioner Martinez questioned whether this proposed ordinance was about healthcare or money. He noted if this proposed ordinance was about health care it would include everybody. He noted Agenda Item 14A12, Legislative File No. 081556, addressed health care for everyone.
Commissioner Sorenson spoke in opposition to the motion to defer. She suggested the Commission adopt a millage rate that would provide the County the funding necessary to provide health care benefits to dependent extended family members of County employees. She noted this proposed ordinance would not endanger Commissioner Diaz�s proposal in the Committee process. She noted the Miami-Dade County Public School Board and Broward County provided evidence that this proposed ordinance would not bankrupt the County.
Commissioner Sosa noted the Commission could easily respond to the needs of the entire community. She noted family members who were true dependents should be included in this proposed ordinance. She suggested this proposed ordinance be amended to cover legally claimed dependents.
County Attorney Cuevas advised Commissioner Sosa's suggested amendment could not be made within the scope of the title of this proposal.
Responding to Commissioner Sosa�s inquiry regarding a legal way to amend this proposed ordinance to include dependent extended family members, County Attorney Cuevas advised titles for proposed ordinances were published to advise the public and this title only included domestic partners.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Diaz and County Attorney Cuevas regarding the possibility of amending the definition of domestic partner in this proposed ordinance to provide coverage of dependent extended family members.
Following County Attorney Cuevas� advice that the most legally defensive way for the County to change its benefits policy was to have this proposed ordinance and Commissioner Diaz�s proposed ordinance adopted at the same meeting, Commissioner Sosa spoke in support of the Commission adopting both proposals.
Commissioner Heyman spoke in opposition to deferring this proposed ordinance. She noted this proposed ordinance could help Jackson Memorial Hospital save money.
Vice-Chairwoman Jordan spoke in opposition to deferring this proposed ordinance. She pointed out the Commission did not have the information requested on cost effectiveness for Commissioner Diaz�s proposal to ensure the promise to employees to lower premiums was retained. She explained Common Law marriage was no longer accepted and the families who would be legitimate under Common Law did not receive benefits. She suggested everyone had the right to choose who they gave their benefits to and who was most important.
Commissioner Barreiro spoke in opposition to deferring this proposed ordinance. He noted Town of Cutler Bay Mayor Paul Vrooman and City of Miami Beach Commissioner Richard Steinberg were present in support of this proposed ordinance.
Hearing no other questions or comments regarding the motion to defer this proposed ordinance, the Commission proceeded to vote, and upon being put to a vote, the motion to defer failed by a vote of 5-7 (Commissioners Barreiro, Sorenson, Edmonson, Moss, Gimenez, Heyman, and Vice-Chairwoman Jordan voted �No�; Commissioner Souto was absent).
It was moved by Commissioner Barreiro that this proposed ordinance be adopted. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Heyman.
Following comments by Commissioners Sorenson and Heyman in support of this proposed ordinance, Commissioner Martinez noted all dependents of County employees should be included. He suggested the focus of the discussion would change to money when the Commission considered the proposal that included benefits for dependent extended family members, and that proposal would not be adopted because the County Administration would recommend against it for financial reasons.
In response to Commissioner Seijas� question whether this proposed ordinance extended benefits to domestic partners and their children, Assistant County Attorney Lee Kraftchick advised this proposed ordinance would cover children of domestic partners.
Commissioner Diaz questioned whether the study conducted by the County Administration on the fiscal impact of this proposed ordinance included the coverage for children of domestic partners.
Ms. Wendi Norris, Director, General Services Administration (GSA), noted the study included children in its fiscal impact.
Responding to Commissioner Diaz�s inquiries regarding how the County Administration conducted its research to determine the fiscal impact, Ms. Norris noted the County Administration did not poll County employees, it used comparisons of other jurisdictions, and it did not consult with the Unions.
Commissioner Diaz questioned whether the County Administration considered if the jurisdictions used for comparison were self-insured when the County collected the historical data on the fiscal impact of extending health insurance and other benefits to domestic partners.
Ms. Marsha Pascual, Risk Management Director, GSA, noted the County Administration did not ask the jurisdictions whether they were self-insured. However, she noted she was familiar enough with most of them and Palm Beach County was the only jurisdiction evaluated by the County Administration that was self-insured. She noted Palm Beach County had approximately 10,000 employees, it started self-insurance in 2008, and she did not know whether Palm Beach County subsidized insurance premiums for its employees.
Commissioner Diaz pointed out comparable historical data did not exist for this proposed ordinance. He noted the County Administration presented an assumption based on other places, and the County had not conducted a study to determine how this proposal would impact this County. Commissioner Diaz expressed concern that the County had bent over backwards on other costly issues, however, the County would not do the same to provide benefits to dependent extended family members.
Responding to Commissioner Diaz�s inquiry concerning the Commission making a motion that it considers his proposed ordinance, County Attorney Cuevas advised that motion could not be made since the item was not advertised for second reading on today�s (5/20) Agenda.
Commissioner Seijas explained she would vote �No� to this proposed ordinance. She noted she would vote �Yes� to a proposal that applied to everyone who lived at a County employee�s residence.
Commissioner Sosa asked that she be listed as a co-sponsor to Commissioner Diaz's proposed ordinance concerning health insurance eligibility and other benefits to the dependents of Miami-Dade County employees (Legislative File No. 080787).
Hearing no other questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote.
Commissioner Diaz asked the County Manager and the General Services Administration Director to ensure all the necessary information was provided on June 11, 2008, for the Economic Development and Human Services (EDHS) Committee to act on the legislation providing health insurance eligibility and other benefits to dependents of County employees (Legislative File No. 080787).
Commissioner Sorenson pointed out the information requested by Commissioner Diaz would involve a survey and the other information requested by the EDHS Committee on May 14, 2008. She noted the Commission could decide providing health insurance eligibility and other benefits to dependents of County employees was one of its most important budget considerations and vote to provide the necessary funding in the County budget, but providing that eligibility and those benefits would have to be looked at in context of the other budgetary needs.
Responding to Commissioner Sorenson�s comments, Commissioner Diaz questioned why a survey and the other information the EDHS Committee requested for his proposal was not provided for this ordinance.
Chairman Barreiro resumed the Chair. He reassured Commissioner Diaz that his proposal would be considered by the County Commission.

REPORT:
First Assistant County Attorney Abigail Price-Williams read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.
Commissioner Seijas noted this proposed ordinance should be amended to incorporate the amendments in Agenda Item 7B Supplement, Legislative File No. 081557.
Commissioner Gimenez asked that he be listed as a co-sponsor.
Commissioner Moss questioned who would appoint the employees in the Property Appraiser�s Office that were in classified service positions.
Assistant County Attorney Lee Kraftchick advised the Property Appraiser would make the initial appointment of employees in classified service positions, and the Mayor would make the formal appointment to ensure the employees were County employees. He clarified the Mayor would not be involved in the selection process of employees for the Property Appraiser�s Office.
In response to Commissioner Moss� request for an explanation why this approach towards the employees was proposed, Commissioner Gimenez explained the language in this proposal provided protection to the classified employee positions. He clarified the Property Appraiser would select the employee and the Mayor would sign off on classified employees to provide them classified protection regarding dismissal and discipline. Commissioner Gimenez noted the exempt employees would serve at the will of the Property Appraiser. He pointed out the County Manager would make the final determination for administrative hearings involving classified employees of the Property Appraiser�s Office.
Responding to Commissioner Moss� question whether the Clerk of the Courts Office operated similar to this proposed method for the Property Appraiser, Assistant County Attorney Kraftchick advised the Clerk of the Courts was an independent State Agency, and the Clerk could directly appoint employees. He advised the Property Appraiser was a Department Head for the County and would use County employees. He noted this proposed ordinance would ensure the Property Appraiser�s Office employees were appointed in accordance with the Civil Service process, which required Mayoral Appointment in most cases.
Commissioner Heyman questioned the impact on the County budget of the operational costs for any appointments by the Property Appraiser and for the protection of County employees.
Commissioner Seijas clarified the County Commission would set the budget for the Property Appraiser�s Office and the Property Appraiser would have to conform to it.
Responding to Commissioner Heyman�s inquiry concerning campaign transparency, Commissioner Seijas explained personal checks would be required for campaign contributions to provide the address of those who contributed, and a corporation or a limited liability company would have to fill out a form with the addresses of those involved with the organization. She noted these requirements would provide the ability to evaluate the tax roll and determine how these properties were treated.
Commissioner Heyman questioned whether the Elections Department would have oversight of campaign funds for the Property Appraiser.
Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal advised the Property Appraiser would have the same reporting requirements as any other elected official, as well as an additional requirement to report the assessment properties in the County that corporations or other similar type entities had.
In response to Commissioner Heyman�s request, Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal advised, for the record, this proposed ordinance was consistent with the Elections Department�s standards.
Commissioner Seijas pointed out some candidates had already fundraised, and those candidates who had campaign contributions would need to adhere to this proposed ordinance on their next campaign finance report.
In response to Commissioner Heyman�s concern regarding this proposed ordinance applying to the candidates that were already campaigning and fundraising, Assistant County Attorney Cynthia Johnson-Stacks recommended this proposed ordinance be amended to include explicit language that the campaign activities done before this proposed ordinance was adopted would have to comply with this proposed ordinance and would be under the supervision of the Elections Department.
Ms. Tara Smith, Chief Deputy Supervisor of Elections, Elections Department, noted the Elections Department would incorporate this proposed ordinance into its qualifying procedures, and the Elections Department would oversee the campaign records for the Property Appraiser as it did for all campaign records.
Commissioner Sorenson questioned why the Commission would set the salary for the Property Appraiser as opposed to using the established State formula.
In response to Commissioner Sorenson�s inquiry regarding the date of the run off election for the Property Appraiser, Ms. Smith noted the primary election would be November 4, 2008, and the run off election would be before January 1, 2009.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Sorenson and Ms. Smith regarding the date and the cost of the run off election for the Property Appraiser.
Responding to Commissioner Sorenson�s question why the Property Appraiser position had the election schedule noted by Ms. Smith, Assistant County Attorney Johnson-Stacks advised Section 5.04.A of the County�s Home Rule Charter contained November 2008 as when the election of the Property Appraiser would begin.
Following further discussion concerning the election schedule for the Property Appraiser, Commissioner Sorenson noted the County Commission needed to discuss the issue of the Property Appraiser�s salary. She noted the Commission should not be involved in determining that position�s salary.
In response to Commissioner Gimenez�s suggestion that this proposed ordinance be amended to add �Property Appraiser of Miami-Dade County� to Section 2-11.1.1.(C)(1) on handwritten page 11, Commissioner Seijas accepted his amendment.
Mr. Richard Naman, 5555 Oak Ridge Lane, Coral Gables, appeared before the Commission, and noted the duties and methods of the Property Appraiser should follow the Florida State Statues. He suggested this proposed ordinance focus on facilitating a smooth transition from an appointed Property Appraiser to an elected one. Mr. Naman noted this proposed ordinance should clarify the place of the Property Appraiser on the County Table of Organizations and the autonomy of the Property Appraiser regarding its control of future office space. He suggested the Property Appraiser should not be restricted to the County�s legal staff.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Moss and Assistant County Attorney James Kracht regarding the level of discretion the Property Appraiser would have within the State Statutes in assessing the value of a property.
In response to Commissioner Moss� inquiry regarding candidates for Property Appraiser being prohibited from campaigning that they would reduce property values, Commissioner Seijas noted the Commission on Ethics could develop a form for candidates to sign that would prohibit them from campaigning that way.
Commissioner Moss clarified a campaign based on the promise to reduce property values would be dishonest.
Commissioner Seijas noted she would follow through with the Commission on Ethics to add special language to the forms filed by candidates for Property Appraiser.
Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal advised the existing Voluntary Fair Campaign Practice to �not use or permit the use of campaign material that falsifies, distorts, or misrepresents facts� could be changed to a Mandatory Fair Campaign Practice for the Property Appraiser to address the issue raised by Commissioner Moss regarding campaign promises to reduce property values.
Hearing no other questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote on this proposed ordinance, as amended:
� to incorporate the amendments in Agenda Item 7B Supplement, Legislative File No. 081557;
� to add the following language to Section 2-69(e): �Contributions made prior to the effective date of this ordinance shall be reported in accordance with the requirements of the provisions of this subsection�;
� to add �Property Appraiser of Miami-Dade County� to Section 2-11.1.1.(C)(1) on handwritten page 11; and
� to make the existing Voluntary Statement of Fair Campaign Practices in Section 2-11.1.1.(D)(1)11. of the County Code, which reads as follows: �I will not use or permit the use of campaign material that falsifies, distorts, or misrepresents facts,� a Mandatory Statement of Fair Campaign Practices for the Office of Property Appraiser.

REPORT:
It was moved by Commissioner Diaz that the foregoing proposed resolution adopted as amended at the May 6, 2008, County Commission Meeting be reconsidered. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Edmonson.
Responding to Commissioner Jordan�s inquiry regarding the impact of the Commission reconsidering this proposed resolution on Small Business Enterprises (SBE), Ms. Miriam Singer, Director, Department of Procurement Management, noted Contract 487B, Security Guard Services, did not have SBE measures.
Hearing no other questions or comments regarding the motion to reconsider, the Commission proceeded to vote, and upon being put to a vote, the motion passed by a vote of 7-0 (Commissioners Souto, Seijas, Sorenson, Martinez, Rolle, and Sosa were absent).
Upon the loss of a quorum, Commissioner Diaz requested the County Mayor or his designee to present the proper recommendation for Contract 487B, Security Guard Services, at the June 3, 2008, County Commission meeting.

RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF DISTANCE BASED AND/OR PEAK/NON-PEAK TRANSIT FARE RATES AND DIRECTING THE COUNTY MAYOR OR HIS DESIGNEE TO SUBMIT WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS A PLAN TO IMPLEMENT A DISTANCE BASED AND/OR PEAK/NON-PEAK TRANSIT STRUCTURE
|
4 Day Rule Invoked
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Gimenez invoked the Four-Day Rule on the foregoing proposed resolution.
Chairman Barreiro noted he would schedule time for the County Commission to discuss the Agenda Items concerning Miami-Dade Transit that were 4 Day Ruled.
Commissioner Sorenson suggested the County Commission invite Citizen�s Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) representatives to the meeting when the Commission would consider the Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) financing issues. She also suggested the Commission hold a public hearing for those issues.
Commissioner Heyman pointed out the Miami-Dade County Public School (MDCPS) Board needed to be involved in the MDT discussion. She explained MDCPS had voted to eliminate transportation to magnet schools. She noted a Special Transportation Services representative should be present at the discussion of MDT financing issues.
Chairman Barreiro requested commissioners submit written requests for MDT information to the County Administration to allow the Administration to properly respond to their concerns.
Following further discussion regarding the importance of the MDT financial issues on developing Metrorail corridors, Commissioner Rolle asked Assistant County Manager Ysela Llort to correct the computational errors in Agenda Item 14A5 before it came back before the County Commission.
Commissioner Sorenson asked the MDT Director to meet with the MDCPS Transportation Department to understand MDCPS� transportation issues before Agenda Items 14A1, 14A2, 14A5, and 14A10 came back before the Commission for consideration.

REPORT:
Commissioner Martinez invoked the Four-Day Rule on the foregoing proposed resolution.
Commissioner Sosa asked that prior to this item returning before the Board the County Manager provide each Commissioner with a list of all existing alternatives to modifying the schedule of transit fares, rates, and charges and a detailed report of the following:
� the total revenue generated annually by the half-penny surtax over the last five years;
� the total amount of approved allocations from the half-penny surtax revenues collected over the last five years; and
� the total amount of half-penny surtax revenue that was projected to be used for the expansion of the Orange line.
Commissioner Heyman asked the County Manager to provide a report on modifying the schedule of transit fares, rates, and charges by trip distance and regions for Special Transportation Services when this proposed resolution came back before the Commission.
Commissioner Rolle asked the County Attorney to compare the ballot language for the Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond (GOB) and the People�s Transportation Plan (PTP) elections, and to provide him with a legal opinion advising whether the County Commission acted consistently when considering modifications to the GOB and the PTP, that were not contemplated when the voters approved these initiatives.

REPORT:
Commissioner Martinez noted the County Commission established the Health Care Task Force that sought a private health care service provider to help uninsured County residents, as well as the indigent care at County hospitals. He noted Mr. Marvin O�Quinn, President/CEO, Public Health Trust, had provided a letter expressing support for this proposed resolution. Commissioner Martinez pointed out this proposal would have no fiscal impact on the County; the County would work in conjunction with Blue Cross Blue Shield. He explained this proposed health care program would insure individuals with comprehensive and wellness care for approximately $90 per month or $150 per month for a family. Commissioner Martinez noted this proposal was a preliminary item that included basic coverage and options. He further explained the County had an oversight role in this proposed program, which was a pilot study for three years. He pointed out availability of this proposed program could go nationwide after the three year pilot study. Commissioner Martinez emphasized the County would neither receive money, nor contribute money for this program, except for providing staff oversight. He pointed out a domestic partners provision was included in this proposed program.
Commissioner Sosa asked that she be listed as a co-sponsor.
In response to Commissioner Sorenson�s request for clarification on the domestic partners provision, Ms. Lisa Matthews, Blue Cross Blue Shield, clarified normally small group reform did not recognize domestic partners as dependents eligible for health care. She pointed out the small group employer would define the information required for the employee to validate a domestic partner as a dependent of an employee. She noted Blue Cross Blue Shield provided in the contract that small group employers should recognize domestic partners as an eligible dependent.
Responding to Commissioner Sorenson�s inquiry regarding the County ensuring that domestic partners were recognized by small businesses participating in this proposed program, Assistant County Attorney Hugo Benitez advised this proposed program was not the County�s health care plan, however, the County could include an expression of intent that the County wished for dependent coverage for domestic partners that was consistent with the County�s recently adopted plan.
Ms. Matthews clarified Blue Cross Blue Shield could not ensure that the small group employers were providing coverage to domestic partners.
Assistant County Attorney Benitez advised a contract was coming back to the Commission that detailed the terms that the County would provide oversight support. He noted the County could consider Commissioner Sorenson�s concern to ensure small group employers were providing coverage to domestic partners during negotiations of that contract.
Commissioner Martinez explained this proposed resolution was not the County�s health care plan, which made it very difficult to dictate to Blue Cross Blue Shield and to the small businesses that they had to recognize domestic partners.
Commissioner Gimenez asked that he be listed as a co-sponsor. He questioned whether Jackson Memorial Hospital fully participated in this proposal.
Commissioner Sosa noted the County could not place a mandate on businesses to provide coverage to domestic partners, and the County needed to respect small businesses. She pointed out the County would be financially liable for this proposed program if the County imposed conditions on it.
Commissioners Diaz and Jordan asked that they be listed as co-sponsors.
Commissioner Martinez clarified, for the record, this proposed resolution was a result of the County Commission Health Care Task Force.
Commissioners Moss, Heyman, Edmonson, and Rolle asked that they be listed as co-sponsors.
It was moved by Commissioner Martinez that this proposed resolution be adopted. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Sosa, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 12-0 (Commissioner Souto was absent).
Commissioner Martinez emphasized each Commissioner needed to distribute pamphlets and to promote this program whenever they met with a Community Based Organization (CBO), and a Mom and Pop company.
Commissioner Diaz suggested commissioners mention the availability of this health plan when they were on the radio and television, as well as publicize it through public service announcements.
Following Assistant County Attorney Benitez advised the Commission this proposed resolution should be amended to add a provision that the proposed health care plan be filed with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation within 30 days of the effective date of this proposed resolution, the Commission proceeded to vote on this proposed resolution, as amended.

REPORT RE: SECOND REPORT ON US HUD/COUNTY WORKPLAN(County Manager)
|
Accepted
|
| |
REPORT:
Mr. Donald LaVoy, United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Oversight Administrator, Miami-Dade Housing Agency (MDHA), provided an overview of the Second Progress Report of the HUD/County Settlement Agreement and Work Plan. He noted the affordable housing situation was improving everyday. He pointed out the County Commission needed to be trained on its role as the Board of MDHA. Mr. LaVoy explained MDHA had submitted a balanced budget for fiscal year 2008-09. He noted MDHA had completed transferring programs from MDHA to the County.
Mr. LaVoy pointed out the primary task specifically prescribed for HUD was to review Work Plan Submissions, to verify completion of Work Plan Items, and to review the County�s petition for release of MDHA from HUD oversight. He noted he was responsible for completing Work Plan Items related to the MDHA budget. He noted some budget issues needed to be resolved for fiscal year 2007-08. He explained nothing in the Findings and Judgment Work Plan Item was an issue.
Mr. LaVoy explained the MDHA Customer Service Center located on Coral Way was moved to the vicinity of Ward Tower, and the level of service was increasing. He pointed out a new Chief Financial Officer, Information Technology (IT) Director, Assistant Director of Housing, and Section 8 Director were hired. He noted employee training was on-going. Mr. LaVoy suggested the necessary changes to the MDHA business model were made to provide housing that was affordable. He explained Asset Management would be to manage property by cost allocation. He noted a number of technology problems arose before HUD arrived, and MDHA was working with the County to upgrade the level of technological support.
Mr. LaVoy noted MDHA Procurement was good. He pointed out the Scott Carver Request for Qualifications (RFQ) received five responses, and the goal for the Scott Carver project was to provide affordable housing and commence building.
Mr. LaVoy expressed concern regarding the MDHA financial statements. He noted the audit of fiscal year 2005-06 had an adverse opinion, which meant the books for that year could not be audited. He suggested fiscal year 2006-07 would also have an adverse opinion. Mr. LaVoy explained Deloitte & Touche was under Federal contract to get the MDHA financial management system to work as a tool that would provide the County the ability to look at the financial reporting within MDHA at all times. Mr. LaVoy noted Section 8 was improving, and the depository agreement had no issues.
Mr. LaVoy noted the Public Housing Plan for Fiscal Year 2008-09 would advocate changes to make the funding stream for finances healthier, to collect rent sooner, and to start evictions proceedings sooner than 90 days. He pointed out the Adker Consent Decree said a new housing waiting list should be made every three years. Mr. LaVoy noted MDHA would redo the waiting list in a user friendly way that anyone could go online and electronically register in 90 seconds. He suggested the waiting list could increase from 35,000 to 100,000 people.
In response to Commissioner Edmonson�s request for a response to Mr. LaVoy�s presentation from the County Administration, Senior Advisor to the County Manager Cynthia Curry noted Mr. LaVoy�s report was a joint presentation of the HUD Oversight Administrator and the County Administration.
Responding to Commissioner Edmonson�s request for the presentation of the Second Quarter Progress Report Narrative, Mr. LaVoy noted the Narrative included an introduction that explained why HUD took over MDHA, what HUD was doing at MDHA, and the role of the HUD Oversight Administrator. Regarding Contract Support, Mr. LaVoy explained HUD had invested over $6 million in contractors for financial and Section 8 support to ensure the recovery of MDHA.
Mr. LaVoy noted the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Division was reorganized to be more customer friendly, and to avoid any evictions or foreclosures from payment problems. He clarified, notwithstanding the progress in the Section 8 HCV Division, the Division had to make much more progress. Mr. LaVoy noted HUD would provide all property managers a week of on-site training in July 2008 on the inspection processes used internally by HUD. He explained the Section 8 HCV Program was changed to ensure all of the 14,600 available vouchers were used by the end of 2008. Mr. LaVoy pointed out Mr. Jeff Worley and the MDHA Crime Reduction Committee were working with the police departments throughout the County to reduce crime in public housing. Mr. LaVoy explained the goal for the Section 8 HCV Home Ownership Program was to have 20 new home owners in the next 30 days.
Mr. LaVoy noted the Concerns and Issues section focused on MDHA running a sustained financial imbalance. He pointed out many reasons existed for the continuous funding shortfall at MDHA. He explained HUD would focus on attaining financial balance at MDHA without reducing services to an unacceptable level.
Senior Advisor Curry noted the County Administration responded to the Second Quarter Progress Report Narrative (Agenda Item 14B1 Supplement, Legislative File No. 081533) to ensure the record reflected the County had made strides at MDHA before the HUD Oversight Administrator�s arrival, including crime reduction and key management staff.
County Manager Burgess clarified the County was not surprised with the issues raised by HUD; the County was already aware of them. He emphasized the importance of the County and HUD working together to accomplish the issues in the Work Plan.
Responding to Commissioner Edmonson�s request for a telephone number constituents could call to speak with a live operator, Mr. LaVoy reassured Commissioner Edmonson he would provide that number to every Commissioner.
Commissioner Sorenson questioned whether the intent of �Establish an Oversight Protocol for MDHA Businesses� on handwritten page 4 was to train the County Commission.
Mr. LaVoy explained the Oversight Protocol was to provide the Commission training on the 1937 Housing Act.
Responding to Commissioner Sorenson�s inquiry regarding the increased density at Scott Carver and the omission of Sector 2, Mr. LaVoy noted the RFQ for Scott Carver did not include Sector 2 for unresolved environmental issues. He pointed out the area in the RFQ was larger than the original Scott Carver area, and if the Office of Community and Economic Development worked with MDHA to provide funding, then 850 units would be possible. He noted $10-$15 million would be needed in a worst cast scenario to resolve the environmental issues in Sector 2.
Commissioner Sorenson expressed concern that the County would be liable for resolving the environmental issues in Sector 2.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Sorenson and Mr. LaVoy regarding the funding granted by HUD for the Scott Carver area and the remediation of Sector 2.
In response to Commissioner Sorenson�s question regarding community participation in the planning for Scott Carver, Mr. LaVoy noted he held a meeting the third Thursday of every month with former Scott Carver area residents. He noted the former residents who were interested in returning to that area would select a committee to interact with the project developers.
Responding to Commissioner Sorenson�s questions concerning his comments on staff continuity, Mr. LaVoy clarified the important part of an audit was continuity and the audit process was delayed by the lack of continuity.
Following discussion between Commissioner Sorenson and Mr. LaVoy regarding funding for IT activities, County Manager Burgess pointed out the County had $13.7 million that could supplement the Scott Carver project. He noted the County would condition the use of the $13.7 million on a master plan being developed for the entire Scott Carver site, including Sector 2, and on maximizing the number of units.
Commissioner Rolle expressed concern that a plan to build the same number of housing units as existed before on the old Scott Carver site would be too dense and crime would increase. He questioned whether the plans for the same number of units applied to the old or the new boundaries. He emphasized the services and infrastructure did not exist for the same number of units within the old boundaries.
Senior Advisor Curry noted the County Manager and she concurred with Commissioner Rolle that the 850 housing units should be in the expanded boundaries.
Mr. LaVoy noted HUD did not want to create a density problem.
Discussion ensued between Commissioner Rolle and Mr. LaVoy regarding the density of the Scott Carver area without using Sector 2.
Responding to Commissioner Gimenez�s inquiry regarding additional economic issues, Mr. LaVoy noted HUD was encountering a large number of bills that were never charged and was continuously finding inappropriate accounting for other liabilities.
Commissioner Gimenez asked the Finance Department Director to provide him with a copy of the engagement letter between the County and the County�s external auditors regarding the audit of the $13 million of Housing Assistance Loan Trust Surtax funds.
In response to Commissioner Diaz�s inquiry regarding trailer parks, Mr. LaVoy explained HUD had not looked at trailer park housing; HUD was focused on affordable housing. He noted HUD would start a new waiting list for affordable housing and anyone could be added to that list. He pointed out the Federal Government was not discussing trailer park issues.
Following Commissioner Diaz�s clarification that the intent of his inquiry was to determine whether the Federal Government was interested in acquiring funds to purchase trailer parks and preserve them as trailer parks, Mr. LaVoy noted he would follow up on the trailer parks issue.
Responding to Commissioner Moss� questions regarding the MDHA budget, Mr. LaVoy noted MDHA would have a budget shortfall. He explained HUD was attempting to remedy the projected shortfall. He clarified the fiscal year 2008-09 budget would be balanced. Mr. LaVoy noted he could provide the Commission an accurate projection of the amount of the shortfall within 45 days. He explained the fiscal year 2008-09 budget projected a slight increase in revenues, in Federal subsidy for Section 8 HCV, and in low rent housing subsidy that matched the amount of expenditures. He pointed out the increase in Federal subsidy depended on the budget adopted by the United States Congress.
Special Assistant to the County Manager Jennifer Glazer-Moon clarified the projected MDHA budget shortfall that Mr. LaVoy submitted did not account for some revenues and the projected salaries were inflated. She noted the County Administration corrected this information and MDHA should not have an operating budget shortfall for fiscal year 2007-08. She pointed out the County would only provide MDHA with Community Development Block Grant funds for disaster recovery initiatives for fiscal year 2008-09.
In response to Commissioner Moss� request for more information on the IT issues, Mr. LaVoy explained the existing system was DOS based. He noted the business platform was not stable when the IT system was updated two years ago, and that caused a lot of information to be irretrievable. He pointed out the business platform needed to be stabilized before the new financial IT system could be installed.
Following discussion between Commissioner Moss and Mr. LaVoy regarding the contractors used to provide Section 8 services, Chairman Barreiro expressed concern regarding certain segments of the population not being able to use the online registration for the affordable housing waiting list.
Mr. LaVoy explained MDHA would provide hands on training for the online waiting list at all public libraries and other public buildings, including Commission District Offices.
Responding to Commissioner Moss� question regarding the financial support HUD had provided MDHA to improve the situation, Mr. LaVoy explained HUD had provided funding for the multi-million dollar contract with Nan McKay and Associates for Section 8 HCV, for the financial management services of Deloitte Touche for millions of dollars, for Section 8 HCV, in addition to the Nan McKay contract, and for additional training and technical service for the Scott Carver master developer agreement. He noted the total financial support was several million dollars.
Commissioner Jordan requested Mr. LaVoy include in the next quarterly report the figures for those additional financial resources he listed. She noted some Federal Agencies included technical assistance as a regularly provided service.
In response to Commissioner Jordan�s question concerning technical resources from the County, Special Assistant Glazer-Moon noted the fiscal year 2007-08 budget included $687,000 of General Funds allocated to MDHA, and a portion was for software and the other portion was for filing cabinets. She explained the County specified those funds would be held in abeyance and they could be used when needed. Special Assistant Glazer-Moon noted the County allocated $425,000 of those funds to support Ward Towers to allow the tax credit agreement to close.
Commissioner Jordan questioned whether MDHA was on target to accomplish the Work Plan within the nine month timeline in the settlement agreement.
Mr. LaVoy noted MDHA was making reasonable progress on the Work Plan. He pointed out the financial problems may prevent HUD from relinquishing MDHA to the County after the nine months. He suggested MDHA was making adequate progress that HUD would relinquish MDHA in the one year timeline in the settlement agreement.
Hearing no other questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote.
