PRESENTATION FROM ROBERT CAMBO REPRESENTING THE SOUTH FLORIDA AUTISM CHARTER SCHOOL AND MR. RUBEN ABELLA REPRESENTING THE EQUESTRIAN SHOWS RE: MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURE & CATTLE SHOW
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Mr. Robert Cambo, Vice-Chairman and Co-founder of the South Florida Autism Charter School, noted that a child was diagnosed with autism every 20 minutes; that one in 91 children had Autism; that one in 59 boys were diagnosed with Autism; that boys were four times more likely than girls to be diagnosed with Autism; and that girls with Autism had cases which were twice as severe. He noted that families spend between $3 million to $5 million to support a child with Autism during their lifetime and that more children would be diagnosed with Autism this year than with Cancer, Diabetes, Downs Syndrome and Aids combined. Mr. Cambo said that Autism research received less than five-percent funding than most of the prevalent childhood disorders and had only recently been studied in medical schools. He noted over 1 million children with Autism in the United States and estimated 8,000 � 10,000 children in Miami-Dade County with the disorder. Mr. Cambo said there was no known cure for Autism.
Mr. Cambo noted the first Charter School for Autistic Children was created due to issues related to locating a suitable educational setting for his Autistic child; the $45,000 annual cost for a private school education; and the problems for families with multiple Autistic children. He said the School currently served 81 Autistic children through a combination of Miami-Dade School Board and State funding with nine children and three teachers per classroom.
Mr. Cambo expressed his appreciation to Commissioner Souto and Chairman Moss for the School�s participation in the Miami International Agriculture and Cattle Show as part of their fundraising efforts. He said that over 46,000 people attended the two-day show which raised over $82,000 for the School. Mr. Cambo noted the School would now complete its first year of operation with surplus funds; allowing the addition of nine children next year and the opening of a ninth grade class. He recognized Commissioner Souto as the Patron Saint of the School�s 81 Autistic children.
Mr. Ruben Abella, Miami-Dade Horse Council, representing seven associations throughout Miami-Dade County noted three objectives for the organization: 1) to finish phase two of Tropical Park Equestrian Center, making the Center a world class center that would attract national and international horse shows; 2) to protect and enhance the horse country area in the Redlands ensuring the area remained an exclusive agricultural, equestrian and tourist attraction; and 3) to increase public awareness of the horse industry in Miami-Dade County. He expressed appreciation to the County Commissioners for their support and efforts to expand the horse industry in the County.
Commissioner Souto acknowledged Chairman Moss and his colleagues for the success of the Miami International Agriculture & Cattle Show and their efforts to help Autistic children and their families. He asked Mr. Ruben Abella, Miami Dade Horse Council, to provide a copy of the video depicting the South Florida Autism Charter School and the Miami International Agriculture & Cattle Show to each commissioner. He also asked County Manager Burgess to display video clippings of the show in public libraries, and to submit a report on the economic impact of the Equestrian Center on this community.

BILL TALBERT RE: THE STATE OF THE INDUSTRY
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Chairman Moss presented a proclamation to Mr. Bill Talbert, President and Chief Executive Officer, Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) in recognition of National Travel and Tourism Week (May 8 -16, 2010).
Mr. Talbert also presented a proclamation to the Mayor, County Commissioners, and County Manager in recognition of Miami-Dade County�s continuous support of the GMCVB.
Mr. Bill Talbert, President and Chief Executive Officer, Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), presented the 2009 Greater Miami and Miami-Dade County Travel and Tourism report. He noted the International Pow Wow which was the leading travel show across the world for foreign buyers of U.S. travel, contributed to the favorable report which he was about to present, and acknowledged the County Commission for its financial support. Mr. Talbert also noted the successful Miami Where Worlds Meets program which was also supported by the County as a part of the Miami-Dade Marketing Initiative in cooperation with the Beacon Council and American Airlines.
Mr. Talbert reported that Miami-Dade County�s 2009 domestic and international overnight visitors� rate was at 98.4 percent of the previous year. He noted this rate was a significant accomplishment considering 2009 was the worst year for travel and tourism and 2008 was the best year ever with the largest number of County visitors. Mr. Talbert noted a 3.8 percent increase in international visitors' spending. Mr. Talbert said that the largest number of international visitors was from South America; that South America represented eight of the leading 20 international feeder markets; and that South America visitors represented a 2.8 percent increase.
Additionally, Mr. Talbert noted 98.1 percent of visitors said they had a great time which was the highest satisfaction level ever received. He said that the increased satisfaction resulted from the GMCVB�s customer service programs such as the Miami Begins with Me, the Miami Begins with MIA and Miami Begins with the Port of Miami programs supported by the County. Mr. Talbert said that over 85 percent of overnight visitors were repeat customers.
Mr. Talbert noted the GMCVB would release its complete visitor profile report later today (5/04). He said the number one priority for the GMCVB was the expansion of The Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC). Mr. Talbert noted bond money was used to hire Arquitectonica and monthly meetings led by the City of Miami Beach and attended by County Executive and Commission staffs were being held to address making the MBCC more competitive. He said a community meeting would be held on May 13th at 6:00 p.m. and welcomed public participation.
Mr. Talbert said the GMCVB had established a relationship with the New York Times and free stories appeared in that publication almost weekly about Miami being both a vacation and meeting destination. He said the GMCVB membership base had grown last year. Mr. Talbert noted the International Pow Wow was excited about returning to Miami-Dade County. He said efforts were underway to host another Super Bowl; the American Institute of Architects meeting would be held in June; and the Miami-Dade Sports Commission would be hosting many sporting groups in Miami. Mr. Talbert expressed concern over the impact from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and said that preparations were underway to prevent any potential damage to the local travel industry, the County�s number one employer.
Commissioner Barreiro asked County Manager Burgess to ensure that the Department of Environmental Resources Management, the Department of Parks and Recreation and other County departments' develop an action plan and preventative measures to minimize the environmental impact of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill on our community.
County Manager George Burgess responded that individuals were being convened and the initial focus was to understand the science, the potential impact and the appropriate response methods. He said the order of magnitude of the environmental destruction was beyond description. Manager Burgess noted it was discouraging to witness the effects of the oil spill to the estuaries, to the Gulf of Mexico and to Florida�s west coast and that the oil spill was likely to move around the Florida Keys and then up Florida�s east coast.
Commissioner Diaz noted he was a strong voice against offshore oil drilling. He commended Mr. Talbert for his diligent efforts; his nationwide leadership and respect within the travel and tourism industry. He said that increasing the size of the Convention Center would not be easy but was essential and offered his support to Commissioner Barreiro�s efforts in this regard.
Commissioner Sosa acknowledged Commissioner Barreiro for keeping everyone informed and for his understanding the necessity for the MBCC. She noted the need for bringing major conventions to Miami and for being competitive with Orlando and other major convention cities. Commissioner Sosa said the County deserved an expanded and competitive convention center. She noted her desire that the City of Miami Beach and the County work cooperatively to participate in this effort.
County Manager Burgess responded that the Committee was represented by County staff; the MBCC�s vision was bold and grandiose; and methods to fund this vision needed to be determined.
Commissioner Sosa noted that representatives from both the Mayor and County Manager�s offices were fully participating in MBCC meetings and expressed her desire that all parties continue making progress toward an improved Center.
Chairman Moss said that the Orlando Convention Center continued expansion despite its current size. He noted that Miami needed to ensure its facility remained competitive and for everybody to collectively work toward this goal.
Commissioner Souto said the oil spill had the potential to paralyze several states and asked that appropriate contacts in Washington be activated. He noted tourism was the life blood of the community and the County Commission needed to support the MBCC's expansion efforts.
Commissioner Diaz asked County Manager Burgess to consider using the Convention Center in Hong Kong as a model for the Miami Beach Convention Center�s expansion, particularly the size, the five-story vertical structure, and transit integration.
Commissioner Barreiro responded that he would review Hong Kong�s Center and other models throughout the world. He noted the overall vision needed to be addressed; the hotel option needed to be seriously considered as a project component; and the need for vertical expansion.

DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING PORT OF MIAMI
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Mr. Bill Johnson, Port of Miami Director, noted he prepared a memorandum outlining cruise and cargo operations at the Port of Miami (Port) in response to several recent newspaper articles. He said he had always endeavored to maintain a professional approach; to be a good listener and a good partner. Mr. Johnson noted the past four years as Port Director had been robust. He said the news reports did not accurately or properly reflect the progress at the Port and that he was equally concerned with both cruise and cargo activity.
Mr. Johnson noted the Port was now the 11th busiest cargo operation nationwide and among the top three nationwide in cargo operations. He said that although down 2.6 percent in 2009, he expected to end 2010 in the black and to gain 5-percent in 2011. Mr. Johnson noted that most other ports were currently down between 12 � 25 percent. He said the Port was the second largest employer (175,000 jobs) and wealth generator ($18 billion) in the community. Mr. Johnson noted the Port was the highest paying industry in the community (over $55,000 annually) for individuals lacking a college degree or a GED.
Mr. Johnson assured County Commissioners that the Port was headed in the proper direction. He noted the Port would serve 39 percent of the Florida market with over 500,000 passengers between June and September; whereas its closest competitor, Port Canaveral, would serve only 358,000 passengers followed by Port Everglades with 307,000 passengers. Mr. Johnson said the Port was home to eight different cruise ships; Carnival (4), Royal Caribbean (2), and Norwegian (2) with five each at Port Canaveral and Port Everglades.
Mr. Johnson said that the competition at the Port was real; it had grown; it had gotten steeper; and it was significant. He noted the Port had served almost 15.8 million passengers since 2006; Port Everglades had served 10.6 million passengers and Port Canaveral 10.1 million passengers. Mr. Johnson said that the Port must continue providing excellent service both to the cruise passenger and to the cruise line; the Port needed to continue providing good value and a cost structure below the competition; and the Port needed to continue addressing the infrastructure and facilities needs of its partners. He noted the Port had recently completed a $100 million new facilities construction project for Carnival Cruise Line. Mr. Johnson said that Carnival was an important and significant partner; representing 1.9 million passengers annually. He noted that Port management, the County Executive Office and County Manager Burgess were all engaged to ensure the right thing was being done for all partners at the Port.
Mr. Johnson said it would be false to assume that the Port had its head buried in the sand or was asleep at the wheel. He noted a positive future for the Port in terms of both cruise and cargo operations. Mr. Johnson said a master plan for the Port through 2035 would be submitted in the fall of 2010 presenting a reasonable and intelligent approach to future cargo and cruise operations. He noted that he would be willing to individually meet with County Commissioners to discuss Port operations and to provide charts which depict passenger volume and revenue generated by the Port.
Mr. Johnson noted the importance of the cruise industry to Miami International Airport with a significant number of passengers flying through the airport for their cruise vacation. He said the cruise industry was the single largest contributor to hotel occupancy in Miami.
Mr. Johnson said that the Port of Miami Tunnel (Tunnel) project was proceeding and was extremely important to the Port�s future. He also noted the Port was among three ports along the east coast and the only port in Florida authorized by the U.S. Congress to deepen its harbor to 50 feet; doubling the Port�s cargo activity by 2020 to 2 million Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units (TEU�s) and expanding the local workforce by 33,000 jobs.
Mr. Johnson noted that although there was progress, there was much more work ahead for the Port. He said the Port was financially in the black; was in the best financial position than in the past 15 years; had a well managed capital and grant program; was rated the top port in Florida for safety and security; and had operated with the same budget for the past four years. Mr. Johnson said that the Port�s doors were always open for cruise, cargo and trucking partners; that progress had been made; and that much work remained.
Commissioner Diaz commended Mr. Johnson on a good job and said he was proud of the Port and its employees. He noted that competition was fierce and other ports were close to catching up; therefore, proactive steps needed to be implemented to maintain our number one cruise status. Commissioner Diaz questioned whether funds were already allocated for the deep dredge project.
Mr. Johnson responded to Commissioner Diaz that the $75 million funding for the deep dredge had not yet been received and a meeting was being held today (5/04) with Congressional leaders in Miami on this issue.
County Manager George Burgess said Miami-Dade County was ahead of its competitors in terms of the timing, steps and authorization process for the deep dredge project. He noted it was necessary to continue lobbying to receive this funding even though the cost of the project was significantly less than our competition.
Commissioner Diaz stressed the importance for his colleagues to address this funding concern with legislators in Washington. He asked Mr. Johnson to continue marketing the Port to the cruise industry; to evaluate the cruise industry�s concerns relating to the Port; and to reduce the waiting lines experienced by truckers at the Port.
Mr. Johnson noted an open door policy between the Port and its cruise industry partners. He said Port Administration would meet with cruise industry partners in collaboration with the County Executive Office at any place or time and with an open mind to evaluate concerns and to develop options. Mr. Johnson said he was equally concerned with both cargo and cruise operations. He noted Miami had the best cruise facilities of any port in the country and some of the best across the world. Mr. Johnson said it was unbelievable that the County could build $100 million of facilities without a single penny surcharge passed on to cruise passengers. He also noted the importance of providing good customer service at the Port.
Commissioner Souto acknowledged Mr. Johnson for his work, his effectiveness and his dedication to the County. He questioned the impetus behind the cruise lines relocating ships to Port Everglades.
Mr. Johnson responded that there was not a single answer to Commissioner Souto�s question. He said the Port was meeting its responsibility to be good listeners; to provide excellent service and a secure environment; to provide a good value and good facilities.
Mr. Johnson noted the cost structure at the Port was substantially less than at Port Everglades. He pointed out that he did not believe the Tunnel project was an issue prompting the cruise industry to relocate ships. Mr. Johnson said that the Tunnel project was an appropriate decision to support the Port�s $16 billion annual cargo business. He noted recent meetings to discuss the Tunnel project with Port Administration, the Florida Department of Transportation, the Tunnel contractor and representatives from both the cruise and cargo industries.
Commissioner Rolle commended Mr. Johnson, Mr. Juan Kuryla, Port of Miami Deputy Director and Port staff for their excellent work at the Port. He noted he was scheduling meetings with the cruise industry in cooperation with Assistant County Manager Ysela Llort and would report back to the County Commission with the results of these meeting.
Chairman Moss asked Commissioner Rolle to lead this effort as Chairperson of the Airport and Seaport Committee and to ensure this information was provided to the Commission.
Commissioner Jordan noted the Port leadership�s commitment to both cruise and cargo industry growth at the Port. She said that the Tunnel project was a decision made by the County Commission in the best interest of the community and the future of the Port, and was not dictated by either industry.
County Manager Burgess said that business decisions were made for strategic reasons and beyond the control of the County. He noted that the cruise industry had acknowledged that the Port�s terminals had never looked better and were never in better shape. Manager Burgess said that Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines� (Royal) decision to place the Oasis of the Seas at Port Everglades was appropriate due to the ship�s size, and that the County should not be discouraged over this decision. However; he indicated that issues remained which needed to be addressed. Manager Burgess further noted good progress had been made in addressing Carnival Cruise Lines� concerns and was optimistic about a new multi-year agreement. He said that both cruise and cargo operations were hugely important to the community, particularity in job creation and in the multiplier.

DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING THE RECENT SHOOTINGS IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Miami-Dade Police Department Director James Loftus noted an increase from 25 year-to-date murders in 2009 to 27 in 2010. Conversely, he noted that robbery rates had declined dramatically in 2009 and that the rate for 2010 was also declining which was remarkable considering the state of the economy. Director Loftus reported an increase in contact shootings (excluding when someone was killed) from 33 year-to-date in 2009 to 37 in 2010. He noted a year-to-date increase of 9 homicide cases (150 percent) in the Northside District.
Director Loftus noted two rival gangs with offshoots who were primarily responsible for the murders, non-fatal shootings, some of the robberies, and drive-by shootings which had occurred in the Northside District. He said those two gangs had been actively warring with each other since 2007 with at least 13 members attributed to each of these gangs and at least 100 cases linked by physical evidence. He said that a non-traditional form of prosecution would be reactivated that would follow a trail related to firearms evidence. Director Loftus noted a task force had been established which included the County, the City of Miami, the FBI, the ATF, and other municipalities and he anticipated joint prosecutions with these agencies in the future.
Commissioner Souto commented on the sole citizen who saved the day by detecting and alerting authorities to a car bomb in New York City. He noted his observations that crime watch issues had become relaxed and more of a social gathering than to acquire technical skills. Commissioner Souto asked Director Loftus to provide additional training to residents on effective crime watch techniques. He also asked the Director to ensure that proper police protection and safety mechanisms were in place at the Earlington Heights Metrorail Station and all other transit corridors connected to the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC); and to explore the possibility of reinstating the tourism police patrol at the airport. Commissioner Souto noted his appreciation of Director Loftus� willingness to listen to his concerns and to maintain an open line of communication.
Director Loftus noted Commissioner Souto presented three excellent points. He said that the Department was aware that people witness these events; were afraid to come forward; and were intimidated by the gangs. Director Loftus said that citizen participation and observation was essential to neighborhood crime watch efforts. He noted he shared Commissioner Souto�s concerns related to the MIC and was prepared to address those issues.
Commissioner Jordan questioned the total number of gangs within Miami-Dade County and not just the Northside District.
Director Loftus noted it was hard to quantify the number of gangs since they were involved in wide variety of activities. He said the 874 Identifier program was recently implemented which allowed the Department to build a database to track gangs and disseminate information amongst all municipalities. Director Loftus estimated approximately eight gangs were linked to murders with the majority located in the north end of the County.
Commissioner Jordon questioned whether any arrests had been made relative to the two active gangs in the Northside District and the prosecution success rate.
Director Loftus responded that a gang leader was arrested on a murder charge and another unfortunately left the homicide office yesterday (5/03) without being charged. He said it was important to arrest the organization�s hierarchy so others within the organization could see the value in offering information about the organization�s activities in order to avoid further sentencing. Director Loftus said it was for this reason that firearms charges were important for future prosecutions. He noted that although individual gang members had been arrested; these gangs were still operating and extremely dangerous; and much work remained to properly dismantle either one of them.
Commissioner Jordan questioned the number of shootings which involved the use of AK47 assault weapons and the position of law enforcement on their use.
Director Loftus responded that he did not have information pertaining to the number of shooting available at this time. He further noted that assault weapons were not needed; not wanted; and he would prefer if they were banned.
Commissioner Jordan asked Director Loftus to meet with her to discuss the feasibility of obtaining lobbying support from law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Florida to urge the U.S. Congress to reinstate the ban on assault weapons.
Commissioner Sosa offered her prayers to the family of Officer Carlos Castillo and inquired about his recovery progress.
Director Loftus noted his appreciation for the overwhelming good wishes and prayers received from the County family on behalf of Officer Castillo and his family. He said Officer Castillo was now breathing without machines; and doctors were now treating other injuries.
Commissioner Edmonson acknowledged Director Loftus for sending staff to discuss the teen curfew issue. She questioned whether the Department was sufficiently equipped to address gang issues and ways in which the Commission could be of assistance.
Director Loftus responded that the Department was intellectually, physically and mechanically prepared. He emphasized the importance of encouraging citizens to come forward with information. Director Loftus said those who had witnessed events were the ones who would make a difference.
Commissioner Edmonson noted her support and asked Director Loftus to participate in a press release which would be distributed to the community before the July 4th celebration.
Commissioner Rolle questioned the homicide increase and the boundaries of the Northside District.
Director Loftus responded that the 150 percent increase related to the increased murder rate in the Northside District from 2009 to 2010. He noted the District encompassed several Commission Districts and primarily the Liberty City area.
Commissioner Rolle inquired about the Department�s teen curfew policy.
Director Loftus noted the Department supported a teen curfew policy with over 1,201 curfew violations in 2009 and over 260 year-to-date violations. He said that it was a victory if a criminal act was eliminated by taking just one of these teens home for a curfew violation.
Commissioner Rolle asked Director Loftus to meet with representatives from the City of Miami Police Department to discuss questionable activities at a teen club behind the pawn shop located at NW 78 Street and NW 7 Avenue and report back to him on the outcome of this discussion.
Director Loftus said the working relationship between the City of Miami�s Police Department and the County was improved due to Chief of Police Miguel Exposito�s dedication to combating street crime.
Commissioner Edmonson commended the Miami-Dade Police Department for its cooperative efforts with the City of Miami Police Department, the Miami-Dade Public Schools Police Department and other municipal government police departments.
Commissioner Martinez said it was a privilege and honor to see Director Loftus wearing his uniform today rather than being dressed in street clothes.
Commissioner Seijas noted the effectiveness of curfews and the Interlocal agreement between all police agency gang units which began 20 years ago under the leadership of Police Director Fred Taylor.
Commissioner Diaz congratulated Director Loftus; the Miami-Dade Police Department; and all other departments that were cooperatively working to address gang related issues.

DISCUSSION ITEM ON THE STATE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Assistant County Attorney Abigail Price-Williams read the foregoing proposed discussion item into the record.
Commissioner Sosa acknowledged Vice-Chairman Diaz for leading the Miami-Dade County Days in Tallahassee and all other County Commissioners who participated and fought for legislative issues. She also acknowledged Mayor Carlos Alvarez; County Manager George Burgess; Budget Director Jennifer Glazer-Moon; Assistant County Attorneys Jess McCarty and Martin Sybblis; Office of Intergovernmental Affairs (OIA) Director Joe Rasco; OIA State Legislative Coordinator Ivette Arango; OIA State Delegation Coordinator Juan Del Cerro; OIA State Delegation Coordinator Alejandro Dominguez; Edgar Fernandez, Water & Sewer Department; District 6 Chief of Staff Roly Marante; Prime Consultants Ronald Book and Gary Rutledge and their subcontractors.
Commissioner Sosa noted that a Preliminary Summary Report of the 2010 Legislative Session was distributed to County Commissioners and she presented the following highlights from that report:
Jackson funding: House Appropriation Chairman David Rivera was instrumental in securing a $50 million appropriation
Pretrial Supervision/Bail bonds: Senator Alex Villalobos assisted efforts against the passage of this bill which would have restricted county pretrial supervision programs.
TABOR: Although the Taxpayers Bill of Rights did not pass once again this session, the Bill will be a priority for both the Senate and the House in next year�s session.
Elder Meals/Local Service Providers/Elder Program Funding: Funding was restored with the assistance of Senator Alex Diaz de la Portilla.
Medicaid Reform: The bills that impacted handicapped and elderly did not pass; however, changes were anticipated next year in this area.
Transportation: This issue required close attention, especially funding for the 826/836 Interchange, the Port of Miami Tunnel, and the Viaduct projects.
Red Light Cameras: A uniform, statewide standard for the use of red light cameras by counties and municipalities was approved.
QTI Extension: Senator Rudy Garcia was instrumental in the passage of extending the Qualified Target Industry Program to 2015.
Library funding: This funding was restored to $21 million.
Local Government Leases and Deeds: Senator Dan Gelber and Representative Esteban Bovo were recognized for efforts to pass legislation which allowed local governments to negotiate rather than competitively bid leases for up to five years which allowed for transfer of right-of-way by deed.
Miami-Dade Transit EASY Card: Legislation passed providing for a public records exemption for personal identifying information and travel patterns with the assistance of Senator Dan Gelber and Representative Esteban Bovo.
Liberty City Medical Clinic: Funding in the amount of $2.5 million was secured through the efforts of Senator Frederica Wilson.
Horse Slaughter: Legislation passed creating new offenses related to horse meat for human consumption offenses and increased penalties for offenses of sale of unmarked horse meat and providing minimum fines and incarceration.
Property Insurance: A Bill to increase property insurance premiums by 60 percent was modified to up to 10 percent in certain limited circumstances such as to cover inflation and to offset increases in the cost of reinsurance. The Dade Delegation voted 96 percent against the property insurance hike and Representative Erik Fresen was recognized for his efforts on behalf of this initiative.
Commissioner Sosa expressed her appreciation and commended the Delegation staff and consultants. She noted their professionalism, critical thinking and tenacity were evident throughout the session. Commissioner Sosa also expressed appreciation for the support from her colleagues, County Administration, and her staff for their advocating on behalf of Miami-Dade County. She noted the overall impact of the session to Miami-Dade County was minimal.
Vice-Chairman Diaz commended Commissioner Sosa for her diligent efforts on behalf of the County.
Commissioner Martinez congratulated Commissioner Sosa and her staff for assuming the Legislative Coordination role for so many years. He noted that TABOR was a good bill for counties but not for taxpayers; that he would not support this bill in the future because it was a form of raising taxes. Commissioner Martinez noted last year, the Board did not raise taxes and some services were cut. He said he would not support any future proposals urging the Legislature to fight the TABOR bill or the property tax bill. The TABOR bill died this session; however, Commissioner Martinez noted he would support it the next time because it supports our citizens'. He further noted the five-percent property tax cap for non-homestead property was hurting residents. He noted the removal of $160 million from the Transportation Trust Fund would impact jobs in the community. Commissioner Martinez noted many of his personal opinions were contrary to the County Commission�s priorities which Commissioner Sosa was promoting and that in the future, he would be fighting for the people who could no longer afford these changes any longer.
Commissioner Sosa responded that she would provide information to Commissioner Gimenez in response to his request to obtain a better understanding of the property insurance legislation which was passed.
Assistant County Attorney Jess McCarty responded to Vice-Chairman Diaz�s question relating to the timeline for the Governor to veto legislation. He noted that the Governor had 15 days to veto a bill from the time he received that legislation. Assistant County Attorney McCarty said that legislation was often spread out over a period of several weeks before bills were transmitted to the Governor.

REPORT:
First Assistant County Attorney Abigail Price-Williams read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.
Commissioner Martinez noted that this proposed ordinance would change the Nominating Committee structure and questioned the current procedures which the County Commission followed.
Assistant County Attorney Bruce Libhaber responded that currently, a 17-member Nominating Committee presented a slate of up to four candidates to each of the 13 District Commissioners and the Mayor. He said that Commissioners and the Mayor may select one of the four candidates from the slate or may reject the slate and the Nominating Committee would reconvene and forward a second slate of up to four additional members appointed by the Commissioner or Mayor. Assistant County Attorney Libhaber noted that if the subsequent appointment was not made, the Board of County Commissioners could fill the vacancy after 30 days.
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber said that under this proposed ordinance, the following two changes were being proposed: 1) the slate presented to Commissioners and the Mayor would consist of three candidates, rather than the current four candidates; and 2) the Nominating Committee would consist of six individuals, rather than the current 17- members. He noted the proposed Nominating Committee would consist of the following six individuals: the Chairperson of the Miami-Dade Transit, Infrastructure and Roads Committee or successor committee; the Chairperson of the Miami-Dade Chamber of Commerce Transportation Committee; the Chairperson of the Trust; the Chairperson of the Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics; The Chairperson of the Citizens� Transportation Advisory Committee; and the Chairperson of the Miami-Dade County Commission on Disability Issues.
Commissioner Martinez questioned the necessity for this change; expressed concern about limited participation on the Nominating Committee; and noted he would not support this proposed ordinance.
Commissioner Sosa inquired whether these proposed changes deviated from the legislation included in the half penny sales tax referendum.
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber responded that the ballot language specifically referred to only the existence of a Citizens� Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) and did not refer to the Nominating Committee or its composition. He noted the previous ballot language made reference to CITT oversight and the proposed changes would create a greater level of oversight. Assistant County Attorney Libhaber said the current proposal provided that the Transit or Public Works Department present the CITT with a five year proposal for half penny tax usage.
Commissioner Sosa noted concern that funding no longer existed to support a five year plan due to the redirection of the half penny tax funding to support Department operational expenses.
Mr. Charles Scurr, CITT Executive Director, clarified Commissioner Martinez� concern about Nominating Committee participation. He indicated that the reduction from from 17 to six members was being recommended due to the difficulties in obtaining a quorum. In response to Commissioner Sosa�s concern, Mr. Scurr noted that the ordinance provided a five year timeline for the People�s Transportation Plan (PTP) implementation. Mr. Scurr further noted that the CITT members were comfortable with this proposal and believed it would provide the CITT with additional independence to accomplish the goals as set forth in the Plan.
Ms. Linda Zilber, CITT Chairperson, concurred with Mr. Scurr about the necessity for and benefits of implementing these modifications.
Commissioner Sosa asked County Attorney Robert Cuevas to draft appropriate legislation providing for the reevaluation of issues relating to the CITT and the PTP which were approved by the voters and to incorporate those observations in the five year plan.
Commissioner Gimenez asked Assistant County Attorney Libhaber to explain the authority granted to the County Mayor in Section 2-8.1 of the Code of Miami-Dade County as stated on handwritten page 15.
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber responded that this Section referred to the $1 million delegated authority given to the County Manager for all projects not specifically delegated under the PTP. He noted that all contracts which utilized surtax funds must currently be presented to the County Commission for approval and under this proposal these awards could be approved by the Mayor or Manager, subject to ratification by the County Commission.
Commissioner Gimenez noted he would be voting �No� on this proposed ordinance.
Commissioner Martinez questioned whether �new projects only� was approved by voters.
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber responded that the ballot language specified �expansion of services.�
First Assistant County Attorney Abigail Price-Williams noted she believed the intention was for �new projects.�
Commissioner Martinez said that the County Commission at the request of the County Manager had subsequently decided to commingle funds would be against the Board�s and the voters� original intent. He noted that surtax money would continue to be commingled under this proposal.
Commissioner Sosa noted she would not support an item with a procurement policy which was inconsistent to established procedures.
Commissioner Gimenez questioned Ms. Zilber whether the CITT was expressly aware of the provision in the County Code authorizing the Mayor and Manger to unilaterally award contracts up to $1 million with surtax funds.
Ms. Zilber responded that the CITT was aware of this provision and was following the Board of County Commissioners� procedure of delegated award authority for contracts up to $1 million.
Commissioner Gimenez noted that these funds were from a different pot of money and that his position about broken promises had been very clear.
Ms. Zilber noted that all awards with delegated authority would be presented to the CITT every few months for an expenditure review and this information would then be provided to the County Commission.
Commissioner Gimenez commented that this review and reporting to the County Commission was after the fact.
Commissioner Seijas noted her opposition to the half penny tax which was approved by voters saying that the amount of funding was insufficient. She said that she was now comfortable with the proposed five year plan and the proposed changes to the Nominating Committee structure. Commissioner Seijas noted that although the intent of the initial language was not followed, these changes would allow funds to be used properly.
Commissioner Jordan acknowledged Ms. Zilber and CITT members for their dedication and commitment along with Mr. Scurr for his leadership in process improvements. She said the main components of the proposal reversed the structure of the approval process and addressed the Nominating Committee size in order to obtain a quorum. Commissioner Jordan noted that although there was merit to delegated authority for approval of small contract amounts, she would remove this from the proposed ordinance. She also noted the five year plan was incorporated at the request of Commissioner Sosa.
Commissioner Jordan asked Mr. Scurr to compile a report of all contracts under $1 million presented to the County Commission and the CITT for approval.
There being no further questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed ordinance as amended by Commissioner Jordan deleting the sentence on handwritten page 15; �Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the County Mayor or designee shall be authorized to award contracts funded in whole or in part with surtax funds consistent with the authority granted in Section 2-8.1 of the Code of Miami-Dade County.�
Assistant County Attorney Libhaber informed the County Commission that the foregoing proposed ordinance failed since it did not meet the required 2/3 vote of the entire Board (9 affirmative votes) for adoption.

Commissioner Seijas noted that the Dean of the Florida International University School of Medicine (FIUSM) would be governed by the Sunshine Law by making him/her an ex-officio member of the Public Health Trust Board of Trustees (PHTB).
Commissioner Martinez responded that this proposed ordinance was created at the request of the FIUSM and they were aware of the requirements for serving on the PHTB. He noted that the University of Miami, School of Medicine�s Dean was already a member of the PHTB and FIUSM desired to be included in the countywide healthcare reform efforts.
There being no further questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote.

REPORT:
Commissioner Jordan questioned the average maintenance cost required for this facility.
Ms. Wendi Norris, General Services Administration Director, responded that a $44,000 allocation for facility maintenance would be transferred to St. Alban�s Day Nursery, Inc (St. Alban�s).
Commissioner Jordan noted concern over the feasibility of the transfer to a non-profit organization.
In response to Commissioner Jordan�s concern, Ms. Norris said St. Alban�s had been aware of this transfer and had signed the amendment which clearly transferred the maintenance responsibility.
Commissioner Jordan requested that this proposed resolution be deferred until a representative of St. Alban�s was present to acknowledge that they understood their obligations. She said that St. Alban�s primary funding source was the Head Start program and Head Start would not be able to absorb this expense and she did not want the children to suffer.
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan to defer this foregoing proposed resolution until May 18, 2010. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Seijas.
Commissioner Gimenez noted his opposition to the deferral, noting that St. Alban�s was located within District 7 and that he had not received any complaint from St. Alban�s pertaining to this issue.
Commissioner Martinez inquired about Head Start�s role in absorbing costs.
Ms. Norris noted that this allocation was not currently funded through the General Services Administration�s budget and she was not aware of any Head Start participation.
Commissioners Martinez and Souto noted they concurred with the District Commissioner and that they would not support the deferral request.
Commissioner Seijas questioned the number of children that would be impacted by today�s (5/04) decision.
Ms. Julie Edwards, Executive Director, Community Action Agency, responded that 120 children were served at that location.
Commissioner Seijas noted this decision would affect a significant number of children. She expressed support for Commissioner Gimenez� decision and noted she would remove her second to the motion for deferral if that was his desire.
Commissioner Gimenez said that a two week deferral would be prudent and would give St. Alban�s the opportunity to voice any potential concerns.
Commissioner Sosa concurred with Commissioner Gimenez; however, noted that should the transfer not be approved, then adequate funding needed to be earmarked. She also said that the operations costs would need to be determined for other non-profit organizations in preparation for the upcoming budget process.
Ms. Norris confirmed that that this resolution was a change in the lease agreement transferring the property maintenance responsibility to St. Alban�s. She noted that this was the only property occupied by a single tenant which the County provided maintenance services.
Commissioner Sosa said a fiscal impact analysis was required on every item considered by the County Commission and inquired about the amount for this proposed resolution.
Ms. Norris responded that $44,000 was previously spent on building maintenance for this property.
Commissioner Martinez noted that maintenance was a non-budgeted expense and the County would be spending money which it did not presently have.
County Manager George Burgess said the FY 2009-10 budget included the elimination of approximately $44,000 in maintenance support. He noted this item did not include a fiscal impact since it conformed to the adopted budget and St. Alban�s had signed the agreement.
Commissioner Martinez said that there would be a fiscal impact should the County continue providing maintenance because the expense was not previously budgeted.
County Manager Burgess responded the item did not have an impact; however should the County continue providing maintenance there would be a fiscal impact.
Commissioner Martinez noted that the County did not have these funds and he would not support the deferral request. He said that should St. Alban present any concern, the Mayor could veto the resolution within the 10-day period.
Ms. Norris responded to Commissioner Gimenez that the County had not incurred any maintenance expenses on this property in the current fiscal year. She said that St. Alban was responsible for general maintenance expenses (janitorial, utilities, etc.) and that this resolution considered transferring structural maintenance expenses (air conditioning, roofing, etc.).
Commissioner Gimenez noted that he was supportive of a two week deferral to provide St. Alban the opportunity to address any potential concerns since there was no pending structural issues or budget impact.
Commissioner Jordan expressed appreciation to Commissioner Gimenez for supporting the deferral and apologized for not asking him earlier to request the deferral. She noted that the ultimate responsibility belonged to the County to maintain County property in the event that the non-profit agency was not capable of providing these services.
There being no further questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote to defer the foregoing proposed resolution.

Resolution R-479-10

REPORT:
Commissioner Gimenez questioned whether the County had an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Sweetwater to pay Workers� Compensation claims; the amount which was owed to the County; the number of years this balance had accumulated; and whether any similar arrangements had been structured with other municipalities.
Assistant County Attorney Monica Maldonado responded that the County administered Workers� Compensation claims for several municipalities, including the City of Sweetwater and the County was reimbursed for these services.
Ms. Wendi Norris, Director, General Services Administration, noted a $586,000 outstanding balance with Sweetwater which included payment for past due workers� compensation services since 2006 and American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding. She noted that Sweetwater was making payments on this debt and that there were no other similar past due payment arrangements with other municipalities.
Commissioner Gimenez noted ARRA funding was intended to support projects that would put people to work. He said that paying for workers compensation plans using Sweetwater�s ARRA funds was not keeping with the program�s intent.
Ms. Jennifer Glazer-Moon, Director, Office of Strategic Business Management, noted the County would utilize Sweetwater�s ARRA funding for eligible County programs and free up General Fund dollars which would then reduce Sweetwater�s workers� compensation account balance. She noted that Sweetwater decided against implementation of the program for which they received ARRA funding and decided to use this funding to pay down their workers� compensation claims.
Assistant County Attorney Maldonado said ARRA funding could not be applied directly to the worker�s compensation fund and needed to be used for an allowable expense.
County Attorney Robert Cuevas responded to Commissioner Gimenez that swapping Sweetwater ARRA funds with County General Funds was legal. He said the source of Sweetwater funding was not included in the Interlocal Agreement pursuant to the County Manager�s cover memorandum. County Attorney Cuevas said he would further review the funding source and would provide the County Commission with this information.
Commissioner Gimenez requested that this proposed resolution be deferred until County Attorney Cuevas could provide information pursuant to the funding source.
County Manager George Burgess noted that Sweetwater had Stimulus Grant funding which the County could apply toward eligible projects. He said this would free up dollars the County would have otherwise used allowing the County to ultimately use those dollars as an offset for the obligation from Sweetwater to the County. Manager Burgess noted Sweetwater would forgo its obligation to the County provided the County used these funds for eligible projects which would free up other funds to address Sweetwater�s worker�s compensation liability obligation to the County. He said this arrangement had been vetted by grants management and had been checked for grant eligibility.
Commissioner Gimenez reiterated that he believed that ARRA funds were intended to put people to work and it would be inappropriate to substitute General Fund money with ARRA funds to release $136,000 from Sweetwater�s obligation. He noted he would not vote in favor of this proposed resolution since it was not the right thing to do irregardless of its legality.
County Attorney Cuevas said that he would further review the proposal, noting a potential concern which Commissioner Gimenez raised whether Sweetwater could give money to the County under the terms of their ARRA grant.
Vice-Chairman Diaz noted many cities were being creative due to lack of funding concerns. He said the County Administration had reviewed every aspect of this proposed resolution and that he supported the proposal provided that money was being paid back to the County and it conformed to legal guidelines.
Commissioner Gimenez noted that in this instance, the County was involved in the proposal�s creativity and he requested assurance from the County Attorney from a legal perspective that it was acceptable.
Commissioner Sosa noted this proposed resolution was approving an Interlocal Agreement between the County and Sweetwater to provide the administration of Workers� Compensation obligations. She questioned whether these funding concerns needed to be taken into consideration when approving this Agreement.
County Manager Burgess responded that the County provided administrative services to Sweetwater; however, the issue was that Sweetwater was delinquent on their payments to the County. He noted that if payment was not received, the County was prepared to stop providing Sweetwater with administrative services, the access to fuel and to other services. Manager Burgess said this proposed resolution was a repayment plan to be approved by both the County Commission and the Sweetwater Commission. He noted this presented a clear message to Sweetwater that they would be held accountable for their obligations. Manager Burgess noted that Sweetwater was already reducing their delinquent payments and there would be consequences for failure. He said that Sweetwater requested the County utilize ARRA funding which they would not be using as part of their back payment. He noted this would free up other County funds similar to previous instances where Community Development Block Grant dollars had been swapped with other funds by the County Commission. Manager Burgess said that Ms. Glazer-Moon and Mr. Daniel Wall, Director, Office of Grants Coordination, had reviewed this arrangement and if there was anything improper, Administration would not submit this to the Commission for approval.
Commissioner Martinez noted the issue was that Sweetwater had not paid the County for claims made on their behalf and the County was trying to accommodate them. He concurred with Commissioner Gimenez that the intent of ARRA funds was not to repay debt. Commissioner Martinez noted Sweetwater deserved a chance to satisfy their obligations; however, this was not the appropriate method.
County Manager Burgess noted this plan was designed to receive repayment from Sweetwater rather than shutting down services; receiving no payments; and the community absorbing their obligation. He said this method would allow the County to manage the process; collect outstanding funds; and protect partner municipalities who were current in their obligations. Manager Burgess noted no ARRA money would directly be applied and there was a series of steps that would allow the use of discretionary dollars to address part of Sweetwater�s past due obligation.
Vice-Chairman Diaz noted a previous conversation with County Manager Burgess where he supported the Manager�s negotiations with Sweetwater and that this proposed resolution was the result of those negotiations.
County Attorney Cuevas responded to Commissioner Diaz that the legality issue of Sweetwater transferring funds would require additional research and could be provided at either the May 6, 2010 or May 18, 2010 County Commission meeting.
Commissioner Souto questioned whether this was a similar situation to the investigation of the City of Miami moving funds between accounts.
In response to Commissioner Souto�s question, County Attorney Cuevas responded that he would need to review Federal statute and limits to which the grantee could utilize the funds.
Vice-Chairman Diaz noted it was his preference to proceed based upon the County Managers� favorable comments and to bring the item back should the County Attorney determine any negative consequences.
Commissioner Heyman noted concern whether this action addressed the intent of what should be done. She concurred with County Manager Burgess�s analysis that it would provide the County the opportunity to retrieve funds which it otherwise might not receive. Commissioner Heyman noted she believed the situation should be further reviewed and questioned the County Attorney about the Federal criteria or restrictions on the utilization of these funds.
County Attorney Cuevas responded that the use of funds involved a Federal statute.
Commissioner Heyman inquired whether staff in the County Attorney�s office could clarify the Federal criteria and legality issues before the conclusion of today�s (5/04) meeting. She noted it would be prudent for the County to consider itself a working partner and protect any small city doing business with the County. Commissioner Heyman said she supported cities being creative provided it was done legally.
County Manager Burgess noted ARRA funding was provided to the cities for transportation related activities and that unspent funds reverted back to the County. He said that by using these funds for eligible projects, it would allow the County to liberate funding that could be used for another purpose as a way to maximize the return to the County. Manager Burgess noted this was within allowable language and was not remotely like the situation at the City of Miami.
Ms. Norris clarified the agreement addressed the outstanding balance; provided a three year payment plan; and did not consider usage of ARRA funding. She noted Sweetwater was required by the County to fund a reserve account and to purchase a reinsurance policy that would cover claims in excess of $100,000.
Commissioner Gimenez noted the prudent action would be to wait for the County Attorney�s opinion to determine whether this was an eligible use of Federal funding.
Vice-Chairman Diaz requested that this item be postponed to provide the County Attorney sufficient time to research the legality issues and to present his findings later today (5/04).
Later in the meeting, Assistant County Attorney Hugo Benitez said the determination whether the Federal government would ultimately approve the use of the returned monies to supplement monies within the General Fund did not need to be resolved today (5/04). He suggested that in order to approve the contract and for the County not to be at risk, the following language should be inserted into the contract: �that the City shall repay the County $136,113 from legally available funds.� He noted that for these purposes, legally available funds shall be funds which may ultimately be used by the County for General Fund purposes. Assistant County Attorney Benitez said the return of money to the County was permissible under ARRA; however, noted it was more difficult to take money out of the Transportation Fund for other purposes and would require the Federal government�s consent.
Commissioner Gimenez noted he would be voting against this foregoing proposed resolution.
Chairman Moss asked Mayor Carlos Alvarez to ensure signage on all County road projects receiving ARRA funding indicate that these projects were funded with Federal Economic Stimulus dollars.
Commissioner Martinez asked Mayor Alvarez to provide County Commissioners with an analysis of ARRA project costs and whether these projects were funded with local, state, or federal funding.
Commissioner Souto questioned the difference between this funding reallocation request and the transfer of funds issues encountered by the City of Miami.
County Attorney Cuevas responded that the amended language to the proposed resolution as suggested by Assistant County Attorney Benitez would preclude any similar occurrence.
Commissioner Gimenez noted concern that the agenda item was signed by the County Attorney indicating its legality; however, the Interlocal Agreement (IA) did not include all the pertinent details of the agreement. He requested that future IAs include all the details to ensure their legality.
It was moved by Commissioner Diaz that this proposed resolution be adopted as amended to insert the following language: �that the City of Sweetwater shall repay Miami-Dade County $136,113 from legally available funds.� The motion was seconded by Commissioner Sosa, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 12-1: (Commissioner Gimenez voted �No�).

REPORT:
Commissioner Sosa noted concern about the extra payment made by the County for the expired lease term and the substantial increase in property value.
Mr. Leland Salomon, Asset Management and Development Specialist, General Services Administration (GSA), responded to Commissioner Sosa that a lease existed until the property owner executed his/her right to cancel the lease. He noted the owner subsequently cancelled the lease and the County did not have the right to continue occupying the property. Mr. Salomon said a verbal agreement existed between GSA, Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) and the property owner which allowed continued lot usage under the same terms and conditions of the expired lease, while a purchase contract for the property was being negotiated. He said the $82,000 payment was to recognize the period of time that the County occupied the property without a lease and was based upon fair market rental value determined by a property appraisal.
Commissioner Seijas questioned whether there was an understanding that the County would be required to pay the property owner as a result of the verbal agreement and if so, what was the amount of this agreement.
In response to Commissioner Seijas� question, Mr. Salomon said that MDT was negotiating a property purchase and these payments were to compensate the property owner for continued use of the property during this period. He noted that there was no formal written agreement setting forth terms for the eighteen month lease payment amount and that the primary focus during this time was to complete negotiations for the property purchase. Mr. Salomon said that this proposed payment was based upon the fair market rental value as set forth in the property appraisal.
Commissioner Seijas noted she was not opposed to purchasing the property and realized there was a need for transit parking; however, she questioned the validity of the additional payment considering the County�s current financial crisis and questioned whether any written agreement existed.
Mr. Salomon responded that there was no agreed upon written lease agreement for the 18 month period nor was there an agreed upon price for the lease during this period. He noted the County decided to pay the seller $88,000, based upon the fair market lease value. Mr. Salomon noted the appraisal was used to establish rates and to establish fair market value. He said the $1.1 million appraised value, which was the lower of two appraisals, was the best indicator of purchase price and rental value.
Commissioner Seijas noted that fairness to the community and County needed to be considered. She said the County had already made payment for rent and there was no pending commitment other than to pay the negotiated price for the property purchase.
Chairman Moss requested that Mr. Solomon, the County Mayor and County Manager respond to whether the rental price was part of the negotiation for the property purchase and whether this was a fair proposition.
Mr. Salomon responded that the rental price was both included in the negotiated purchase price and was a fair proposition.
County Manager George Burgess responded that he supported the proposed resolution.
County Mayor Carlos Alvarez indicated his support for the proposed resolution.
There being no further questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote.

REPORT:
Commissioner Jordan noted she had received telephone calls that fire rescue trucks were pulled out of service from stations within District 1 due to overtime issues and relocated elsewhere. She noted concern about approving any reallocation of fire rescue resources until she was satisfied sufficient allocations remained within District 1.
Chief Herminio Lorenzo, Director, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department, responded that fire rescue units were not removed from service due to overtime requirements. He explained that units were routinely removed from service for training purposes pursuant to bargaining unit agreements and that all areas throughout the County continued receiving the required protection levels.
Commissioner Jordan asked Chief Lorenzo to submit a detailed report on the history and frequency in which units were removed from service in District 1. She noted fire resources needed to be evaluated in a collective and an equitable manner throughout the County. Commissioner Jordan said the broader concern was the safety factor and service response time when fire rescue trucks were removed from service.
Chief Lorenzo assured Commissioner Jordan that training of personnel and removal of units from service for training purposes was consistent throughout the County. He further noted that units would not be relocated from one district to another due to out of service situations. Chief Lorenzo noted that overtime had been reduced for Department efficiency and accountability purposes. He said a report would be provided to the County Commission detailing units removed from all fire Commission Districts on a daily basis.
Commissioner Gimenez noted concern over the $22.5 million cost and questioned whether it was for a 30 or 90 year term.
Chief Lorenzo responded that it was a 90 year lease and it included an initial 30 year term with two additional 30 year automatic renewal periods. He said the $22.5 million included the lease payments and station maintenance costs throughout the entire 90 year lease period.
Commissioner Sosa acknowledged Chief Lorenzo for his assistance in providing her with information so that she could respond to a municipality�s inquiry regarding erroneous information about the removal of units from Rescue 40.
Commissioner Heyman acknowledged the mutual relationship with Bay Harbor Islands where the County would operate a new fire station located in their parking garage. She noted this station would support Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, Indian Creek and the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area.
There being no further questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote.

REPORT:
Commissioner Jordan noted her understanding that the total number of mowing cycles was being reduced pursuant to Item 1.2; however, she requested clarification over the number of acres included in this proposal.
Ms. Miriam Singer, Director, Department of Procurement Management, clarified that the total number of mowing cycles required for maintaining the property was being reduced. She said the Public Works Department would provide information pursuant to any changes to property locations.
Mr. Antonio Cotarelo, Assistant Director, Construction, Public Works Department, responded that the acreage reduction was due to lots which were now developed and no longer under the General Services Administration. He noted the cost reduction was due to the number of lots being mowed being reduced from approximately 500 to 404 and reductions to the number of mowing cycles.
Ms. Singer responded to Commissioner Jordan�s question about price reductions associated with reduced mowing cycles and total acreage. She noted that longer intervals between mowing cycles required additional work being performed at each mowing; therefore, an equal reduction in price would not occur.
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan that the foregoing proposed resolution be adopted. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Rolle and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 11-0; (Commissioner Martinez and Chairman Moss were absent).
Subsequently, it was moved by Commissioner Jordan that the foregoing proposed resolution be reconsidered. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Rolle and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 10-0; (Commissioner Martinez, Souto and Chairman Moss were absent).
Commissioner Jordan questioned whether the $14.760 million included in Item 3.4 included small business development opportunities.
Ms. Penelope Townsley, Director, Department of Small Business Development responded that the Procurement Management, the Small Business Development and the Water and Sewer Departments had all discussed small business opportunities on this contract. She noted the Water and Sewer Department utilized the MCC 70/40 contract to bid some associated tasks required with this modification.
Commissioner Jordan noted pursuant to a conversation with Mr. John Renfrow, Director, Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department, non specialized work opportunities that could be performed by small businesses would be available.
It was moved by Commissioner Jordan that the foregoing proposed resolution be adopted. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Rolle and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 10-0; (Commissioner Martinez, Souto and Chairman Moss were absent.

REPORT:
Commissioner Edmonson questioned the source and amount of savings realized from this proposed resolution.
Chief Herminio Lorenzo, Director, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department responded that funding was available to put the unit into service through the end of 2010 as a result of overtime savings and realized revenues.
Commissioner Jordan noted concern about using Fire Rescue Department revenue prior to an equitable distribution report and making sure safety issues were properly addressed.
Commissioner Barreiro questioned whether there was an anticipated time frame for completing negotiations for the agreement between the County, the City of Miami (City) and the Village of Key Biscayne (Village).
Chief Lorenzo responded that meetings with Fire Chiefs of the City and the Village had been held to discuss Automatic Aid. He noted reluctance with the term Automatic Aid; fear related to an incident one and a half years ago; and trust issues. Chief Lorenzo said an agreement was in place to review the Mutual Aid plan which currently existed between the Fire Departments with the exception of the Village. He noted an Enhanced Mutual Aid plan was being evaluated that would take into consideration specific and limited areas within the County where responding outside of the jurisdiction would make sense because of the nearness of a fire facility to that area from another jurisdiction. Chief Lorenzo said discussions were also underway pertaining to the (inaudible) resolution introduced by Commissioner Diaz and a report would be provided to the County Commission within 40 days. He noted diligent efforts were underway to find solutions to those areas which had three fire stations within close proximity to one another. Chief Lorenzo said that solutions to solve all areas efficiently were being addressed; differences were being resolved; and constructive ideas considered.
Commissioner Sorenson questioned the expenditure of additional funds with three fire stations within close proximity to one another and serving the exact same area. She noted the need to address issues considering the public safety of the community was the primary goal of fire professionals.
Chief Lorenzo noted the Department was trying very hard to develop a solution. He concurred with Commissioner Sorenson that jurisdictional issues did not make sense with three fire stations in close proximity to one another. Chief Lorenzo noted the following options being considered: 1) to contract with the City or Village to provide protection to the area if they were willing to accept such proposal and provide that service; 2) to continue the current system with a peak hour unit from Thursday through Monday and depend upon Mutual Aid or County units responding to the area at other times; or 3) to enhance the unit back to its prior service level by placing either a full time fire rescue truck or fire suppression unit at Station 15 in Key Biscayne. He noted the best solution would be to obtain an understanding between the three fire departments to serve the area full-time.
Commissioner Sorenson said that Chief Lorenzo�s solution would be best for taxpayers since three fire stations under separate jurisdictions ws not purdent. She questioned whether there was a 911 problem or a delivery of service issue that prompted this resolution.
County Manager George Burgess responded that the incident was still under investigation and noted it appeared that the real issue was one of dispatch and not one of the station not being manned. He said an agreement where the Village would respond to County calls would be a significantly more efficient use of funding than putting suppression and rescue units back in the fire station 24/7 considering its close proximity to the Village�s station. County Manager Burgess noted a $79 million funding gap in next year's (FY 2010-11) Fire Rescue Department budget needed to be considered when making any decisions.
Commissioner Sorenson noted her understanding that reductions of $40 million to the Fire Rescue Department have been identified leaving a $39 million funding gap. She said that any money spent this year on the Station's funding would result in less carry-over to address next year�s problems. Commissioner Sorenson said the County Commission would need to increase the Fire Millage or fire rescue services would be reduced. She noted an efficient level of service was needed; that she would not support fully funding the station; and that an agreement was needed between the three jurisdictions.
Commissioner Gimenez noted a gap existed since the City station was approximately eight minutes away from Miami-Dade County property. He commended Chief Lorenzo for his efforts in trying to resolve issues and noted it was a good idea for all three departments to collectively determine ways to save money. Commissioner Gimenez said that the Station needed to be reinstated due to incidents and response times. He noted it was his understanding that the toll increase was to be used for the Station; however, later found out that only Miami-Dade County funds were used. Commissioner Gimenez supported reinstating the Station with savings identified by Administration and to deal with next year's (FY 2010-11) funding issues later. He said the most important issue was to maintain service levels and that this area deserved continued protection.
Commissioner Diaz noted a meeting with the fire union. He said these issues would be contingent upon the budget and that dialogue between Administration, the City and Village were appropriate. Commissioner Diaz said that it was important to provide optimum service response times.
Commissioner Heyman noted support for this proposed resolution and the pursuit of Enhanced Mutual Aid. She said this proposal addressed the identified void of service problems.
There being no further questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote.

REPORT:
Commissioner Sosa noted her ongoing support for smaller government; however, she pointed out the recommendation to reduce the number of County departments must consider Administration�s needs.
Commissioner Sorenson noted the reduction of the number of County departments would not result in a reduction to the number of functions performed. She requested Commissioner Gimenez, the sponsor of this proposed resolution, elaborate on his intent when introducing this legislation.
Commissioner Gimenez responded that the State Constitution provided for only 25 departments and the County should consider abiding by this cap. He noted efficiencies would be established by decreasing the number of departments and the number of directors, assistant directors, and other staff. Commissioner Gimenez said this proposed resolution was requesting Administration prepare a budget that would analyze this potential option.
Commissioner Sorenson said the State did not provide local services and perhaps did not require as many departments as a county the size of Miami-Dade. She asked the County Manager to address the implications of this proposed resolution.
County Manager George Burgess noted merely selecting a designated number of departments was not prudent. He said the alternative was to evaluate the budget; to understand challenges being faced; and to streamline where appropriate. Manager Burgess noted that the concept of super departments had been previously addressed; however, based upon the scope and responsibilities of the current departments, reductions in the number of departments would be nothing more than a sound bite.
Vice-Chairman Diaz noted his understanding of the intent of this proposed resolution to refine the organizational structure; however, he noted that these decisions would be addressed in the upcoming budget process.
It was moved by Commissioner Gimenez that the foregoing proposed resolution be approved. The motion to adopt died due to the lack of a second.

REPORT:
Commissioner Seijas noted that although County Commissioners had the right to inquire about the financial impact of an Agenda Item, she was concerned about the right to place item(s) on the Board Agenda being limited by other persons.
Commissioner Sosa said the intent of this proposed resolution was to ensure that Commissioners were aware of the fiscal impact of their decisions and to provide the necessary data to make an informed decision. She suggested that the Commission Auditor track the fiscal impact data on agenda items to ensure compliance.
Commissioner Seijas noted that Administration was already required to provide fiscal impact data. She said that this policy was not always adhered to and that Administration be reminded of the necessity for compliance.
County Attorney Robert Cuevas responded to Commissioner Seijas that there was a rule specific ordinance and resolution relating to Administration reporting fiscal impact data. He also noted that he provided a memorandum with each agenda item which notified Commissioners whether a statement of fiscal impact was required.
Commissioner Seijas noted her goal was to implement rules already established rather than to expand those rules.
Commissioner Sosa said that working in conjunction with the Commission Auditor to provide this information would provide Commissioners with additional budget related knowledge and the public with additional access to information.
Commissioner Seijas suggested that Commissioner Sosa consider the removal of the last sentence from handwritten page 3: �Any item without the required information cannot be heard by the Board�.
As an alternative, Commissioner Sosa recommended the language read as follows: �Any item that does not include required information will be heard at the will of the sponsoring Commissioner�.
County Attorney Cuevas noted concern that that the County Attorney would become the gate keeper if this recommended language was adopted and as a result, any item which did not contain fiscal information would not be forwarded to the Commission.
Commissioner Sosa noted an alternative would be �to exclude items sponsored by Commissioners�.
County Attorney Cuevas restated the amendment to the last sentence of the resolution on handwritten page 3 to read: �Any item other than a Commissioner sponsored item without the required information could not be heard by the Board�.
It was moved by Commissioner Sosa that this proposed resolution be adopted as amended to delete the language on handwritten page 3, line 13 and to replace it with the following language: �Any item other than a Commission sponsored item, without the required information cannot be heard by the Board�. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Edmonson and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 10-0; (Commissioners Barreiro, Jordan and Chairman Moss were absent).

RESOLUTION APPROVING AND RATIFYING EXECUTION OF THE 2008-2011 AMENDED COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT BETWEEN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, THE PUBLIC HEALTH TRUST AND THE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, SEIU, LOCAL 1991(Public Health Trust)
|
Adopted
Resolution R-550-10
Mover: Sally A. Heyman
Seconder: Barbara J. Jordan
Vote: 10 - 2

REPORT:
Commissioner Martinez questioned the budget impact of these collective bargaining items should the 4-Day Rule be invoked.
County Manager George Burgess responded that the collective bargaining agreements represented approximately $1 million weekly or $2 million per pay period.
Chairman Moss asked that these Items be considered later and that the 4-Day Rule not be invoked at this time.
Commissioner Martinez noted he would not invoke the 4-Day Rule at this time.
Later in the meeting, Commissioner Sosa noted that Chairman Moss requested that all items relating to Jackson Memorial Hospital would be considered in a Special Meeting.
Vice-Chairman Diaz noted that all items related to Jackson Memorial Hospital would be considered during the Special Meeting to be held later today (5/04) at 3:00 p.m.
Commissioner Martinez questioned the impact of invoking the 4-Day Rule on the budget.
County Manger Burgess responded the impact was $2 million per pay period. He noted that union agreements had been executed by the bargaining units and the Public Health Trust (PHT). Manager Burgess said the agreements included language that the unions would accept the cost of living provisions negotiated for County employees. He noted the five-percent contribution to the health program negotiated for County employees was not contemplated in the language for PHT employees. Manager Burgess noted that three Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and one American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) unions had agreed to open contracts and agreed to concessions beyond those in their executed contracts, representing significant savings for the hospital. He said the annualized benefit was approximately $20 million.
Commissioner Martinez noted the proposed resolutions were very important items and the Commission had only received them yesterday (5/03) at 5:30 p.m. He said it would be unfair to make quick decisions on these items without adequate time to fully understand them and he was contemplating executing the 4-Day Rule.
Vice-Chairman Diaz concurred that limited time was given to review these items; however, he noted the importance of proceeding with today�s (5/04) meeting and to address the collective bargaining agreements at the Special Meeting.
Later in the meeting, County Attorney Robert Cuevas inquired whether Chairman Moss intended that collective bargaining agreements be considered at the Special Meeting or at today�s (5/04) meeting.
Chairman Moss said these agreements would be considered today (5/04) and were scheduled in the afternoon to allow County Commissioners an opportunity to review them.
Commissioner Sosa questioned whether the unions and the Public Health Trust (PHT) had ratified the collective bargaining agreements and whether these agreements were consistent with the agreements for County employees.
County Manager Burgess responded that agreements had been ratified by the unions and approved by the PHT. He noted the items contained in the agreements were significantly similar to those for County employees. Manager Burgess said that nurses had other provisions in their agreement such as shared savings incentives and had agreed to the suspension of premium pay for one year; however, this was conditioned upon AFSCME�s agreement. He noted that AFSCME did not accept the premium pay suspension and was not obligated to accept this condition since they already had executed contracts.
Manager Burgess said that all other provisions of County contracts were honored in the nurses, SEIU and AFSCME agreements, with the exception of premium pay suspension.
Commissioner Martinez questioned whether any other County employees lost premium pay.
In response to Commissioner Martinez� inquiry, County Manager Burgess said that all County employee units had agreed to the suspension of premium pay for one year, with the exception of the Water and Sewer AFSCME unit which was in impasse. He further responded that the suspension of premium pay was proposed by the County Commission in order to buy back other services.
Commissioner Martinez inquired whether the �me too� clause was applicable in this instance with an ongoing contract.
Assistant County Attorney Eric Rodriguez responded that the �me too� clause did not apply to an ongoing contract; however, because the union agreed to return and reopen their contract, the provision applied. He noted that paragraph 2 of the SEIU tentative agreement required equitable concessions with other units as part of the bargain to reopen negotiations.
County Manger Burgess noted the PHT laid out its position and obtained agreement on most provisions; however, was not able to obtain AFSCME�s agreement to the premium pay suspension. He said the �me too� provision was used to promote the reopening of negotiations.
Commissioner Martinez questioned whether the refusal to accept the $50 premium pay suspension needed to be granted to other unions.
County Manager Burgess responded that the suspension would not apply to the other unions.
Commissioner Martinez noted that all employees were being treated differently and agreements were worded in a manner that the �me too� clause would not apply to anybody else. He further noted that some employees took days without pay and others took pay reductions.
Mayor Carlos Alvarez responded that there were specific differences between bargaining units. He noted that SEIU had agreed to the premium pay suspension; that AFSME refused to accept this concession; and as a result, SEIU would keep the $50 premium pay.
Commissioner Gimenez questioned whether there was any linkage between these contracts and those for the County�s labor unions.
County Manger Burgess responded there were no connections or carry-overs of these provisions to County contracts. He said that County contracts did not contain any �me to� connections with the Jackson contracts.
Commissioner Gimenez inquired about the duration of the premium pay suspension and pay supplement provisions contained in these contracts.
County Manager Burgess responded that the premium pay suspension would have been a one year suspension and the merit pay and longevity pay suspensions were for a one year period. He noted the five-percent pay reduction would need to be negotiated away to change. Manager Burgess said that flex benefits was forgone for 15 months with the additional three months contributions being placed into a dedicated account for employees to contribute to Jackson�s bottom line.
Commissioner Gimenez questioned whether contracts contained a three-percent salary increase provision.
In response to Commissioner Gimenez� inquiry, County Manager Burgess said that next year was the last year of the three year contract; that it contained a 0-0-3 provision; and contained the same provisions as the County contracts. He noted that negotiations would begin within the next six to eight months with organized labor to negotiate a new contract.
Commissioner Gimenez noted he would not be voting in favor of this proposed resolution.
Commissioner Jordan questioned whether the agreement included provisions that employees facing workforce reductions would be included in the bumping process for previously held civil service positions.
County Manager Burgess responded that Jackson employees who would be impacted by layoffs do not bump over to the County and County employees do not bump to Jackson. He noted that the PHT had bumping provisions which were similar to the County�s but was uncertain whether they mirrored the County�s provisions.
Mr. David Small, Chief Operating Officer, Jackson Health System, noted the bumping provisions were similar to the County�s provisions but they were not exactly the same. He said PHT employees could bump within units but do not cross unions.
Commissioner Jordan clarified her understanding that PHT employees could bump within the union of which the employee was a member.
Commissioner Rolle noted concerns over possible instances where bumping might not be occurring as per the provisions as indicated by Mr. Small and would like specific cases to be brought to his attention later.
Chairman Moss requested that Commissioner Rolle request this information from the PHT as a member of that Board.
There being no further questions or comments, the Commission proceeded to vote.

REPORT:
Assistant County Attorney Martin Sybllis read the following amendments into the record as requested by Commissioner Sorenson: 1) that language be added to the end of Section 1 on handwritten page 4: �That this Board also urges the Arizona State Legislature to immediately repeal Senate Bill 1070�; and 2) that language be added to Section 2 on handwritten page 4: �That the Clerk of the Board is also asked to transmit a certified copy of this resolution to Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, Arizona Senate President Robert Burns, and Arizona Speaker of the House Kirk Adams".
Commissioner Barreiro noted that the State of Arizona legislation would hopefully encourage the United States Congress to address the immigration issue.
Vice-Chairman Diaz noted his efforts on behalf of children born in the United States whose immigrant parents were removed from this County. He said that although immigration laws were necessary, he disagreed with the State of Arizona�s method of targeting a specific group of people.
Commissioner Jordan noted the State of Arizona legislation was unjust, inhumane, profiling, anti-immigrant, and anti-people. She expressed her desire that the United States Congress establish uniform immigration laws.
Commissioner Sosa noted that serious immigration reform was needed. She also noted that diversity was respected in Miami-Dade County and her opposition to the methods being adopted in Arizona.
It was moved by Commissioner Sosa that this proposed resolution be adopted as amended to incorporate the amendments read into the record by Assistant County Attorney Martin Sybllis. The motion was seconded by Vice-Chairman Diaz and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 12-0 (Commissioner Martinez was absent).
