	CHARTER REVIEW TASK FORCE - FINAL REPORT			Accepted
	REPORT: During consideration of the agenda, County Attorney Cuevas asked whether it was the Board�s wish to add all Charter Amendments, Items 10A1 through 10A15 and Alternates, to the Pull List. The following discussion occurred at that time: In response to Chairman Martinez� question, Deputy Mayor Alina Hudak confirmed that all of the ballot questions were scheduled to be placed on the November 2, 2012 General Election ballot. She noted August 17, 2012 was the deadline for placing items on the ballot. Chairman Martinez pointed out that ballot questions were placed on the ballot within 45 days, in the past. He questioned when the ballots needed to be mailed out to residents of the County and asked the County Attorney whether any of the proposed Charter Amendment questions received a 2/3 vote of the Task Force members. County Attorney Cuevas noted his understanding was that the resolution creating the Task Force announced the Board�s intent to place any recommendations from the Task Force that received a 2/3 vote (14) on the ballot. He advised that four recommendations received a 2/3 vote and they were listed on today�s agenda as Items 10A3 Incorporation; 10A6 Commission Salaries; 10A14 Relationships precluded for Commissioners; and 10A15 Mayor�s Conflict in Procurement. In response to Chairman Martinez� concern as to whether, according to the Board�s Rules, those four recommendations would automatically be placed on the ballot, Mr. Cuevas advised that there was no legal requirement to place them on the ballot, but simply a statement of intent by the Board. Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal advised the Home Rule Charter did not have a provision that allowed the Task Force members to place an item on the ballot. As a result, he stated, it was up to this Board to place the items on the ballot. He reiterated the Board member�s statement of intent to place anything receiving a 2/3 vote of the membership on the ballot. Chairman Martinez asked his fellow Board members whether it was their intent to place the four items referenced above (10A3, 10A6, 10A14, 10A15) on the ballot. He emphasized that this issue dealt with the County�s Constitution and spoke in opposition to debating these items within a mere two hours today to comply with a deadline, as this would be unfair to the citizens of this County. County Attorney Cuevas noted several commissioners had placed alternate items on the agenda for some of those items that received a 2/3 vote of the Task Force members. In response to Chairman Martinez� request for the Board�s vote on Resolution No.R-253-12 creating the Task Force, Mr. Cuevas noted the vote was 7 to 6. With respect to Commissioner Jordan�s question as to whether a separate vote was taken regarding the Board�s intent to place items on the ballot, Mr. Rosenthal read, into the record, Section 7 of Resolution 253-12 as follows: �The Commission hereby expresses its intent to forward any item approved by at least 2/3 of the membership of the Charter Review Task Force for placement on the ballot at the next available countywide election.� He clarified that this language was part of the resolution adopted by a vote of 7 to 6 and was not a separate vote. Chairman Martinez announced that those who voted in favor of adopting Resolution No.253-12 were: Commissioners Barreiro, Bovo, Heyman, Monestime, Sosa, Bell, and Souto. Commissioner Jordan urged her fellow Board members to carefully review each of the recommendations and asked whether it was appropriate for commissioners to amend the items prepared by the Task Force. Following Mr. Rosenthal�s response that this was fully within the prerogative of the Commission, Commissioner Jordan stated that this information should be a part of the Board�s discussion and noted she believed all items, including commissioner-sponsored amendments should be reviewed collectively, before the Board made a final decision on any of them. Commissioner Sosa expressed concern with the number of absences reflected in Task Force meeting attendance sheets, noting on April 19, three members were absent; May 7, nine members were absent; May 8, 14 members were absent; May 9, ten members were absent; May 10, 12 members were absent; May 14, nine members were absent; May 17, four members were absent; May 22, ten members were absent; May 23, six members were absent; May 30, six members were absent; June 6, six members were absent; and so on. She noted eight members were absent from the Task Force meeting in which the final votes to approve the recommendations were made. She discussed the issues contained in the Task Force�s proposed recommendations for placement on the ballot noting concerns were expressed by the Commission on Ethics and Public Trust, the Clerk of the Court and the public regarding these items. She also pointed out that alternates had been proposed by commissioners for most of the Task Force�s items. Commissioner Sosa expressed further concern that no public hearing was held for residents� input once the Task Force voted to present the final version of the recommendations before the Commission. She noted she would like to hold a public hearing to solicit residents� input and she wished to conduct research on each of the proposed items. Chairman Martinez reiterated his request that his colleagues limit their discussion to the intent to place all items that received a 2/3 vote on the ballot. Commissioner Diaz said his position was that the Board should have the right to revisit all of the items, noting he concurred with Chairman Martinez that this was dealing with the County�s Constitution. He stated that he had received a number of telephone calls from constituents questioning the Charter Review process. In response to Commissioner Moss� request for clarification regarding the manner in which the Board expressed its intent to place any Charter Review item receiving a 2/3 vote on the ballot, Mr. Rosenthal reiterated the language from Section 7 of Resolution No. 253-12. Commissioner Moss read, into the record, the following information: �This latest Charter Review process seems to have been hi-jacked by pro-municipality proponents without adequate review of the consequences to good governance and transparency.� Commissioner Heyman explained that her intent in sponsoring the resolution creating the Task Force was to diffuse the notion that this Board had been unresponsive to previous Charter Review recommendations. This was the reason she suggested that the recommendations would be vetted by the Board, and if appropriate, any recommendation that had received a 2/3 vote would be put on the ballot. Unfortunately, none of the items actually received a 2/3 vote because most of the time a significant number of Task Force members were absent, said Commissioner Heyman. Commissioner Bovo noted, in co-sponsoring the resolution, his intent was to allow the Task Force�s recommendations that received a 2/3 vote to move forward, because the public seemed to believe that the Board members blocked the previous Task Force�s recommendations. He stated that the Task Force member whom he appointed was the Chairman and missed only one meeting. He urged his fellow commissioners to move forward on the items that received a 2/3 vote without fearing how the voters would respond. County Attorney Cuevas asked if it was the Board�s intent to include all of the Charter Amendments and related issues (Items 10A1 through 10A15), the Charter Review Task Force Report (Item 1F2), and a number of Alternate items on the Pull List. Chairman Martinez indicated that the Board would hear Item 1F2 later today and all of the other items should be included on the Pull List. He noted, from the Board members� comments, it appeared they preferred that no action be taken on those items today. Commissioner Souto read the definition of �intent� into the record and cautioned his colleagues to proceed very carefully on this important matter. Commissioner Bell explained that she sponsored alternate items for the purpose of amending the original proposals rather than replacing them. She stressed that the County Commissioners would be held accountable for the Charter items and needed to make the best decisions for the districts and County. Commissioner Bell expressed concern regarding some of the proposed Charter amendments noting some were very damaging. Chairman Martinez asked the Board members whether they preferred to schedule the public hearing to discuss the proposed Charter Amendments on August 23, 2012, which was the meeting date for the Budget Committee of the Whole, or on September 6, 2012. In response to Commissioner Sosa�s request for clarification, Chairman Martinez clarified that if the items were discussed today, then the Board would vote them up or down today. It was moved by Commissioner Diaz that all Charter Review Task Force proposals (Resolutions under Item Numbers: 10A1-10A15 and all proposed Alternates) be deferred to August 23, 2012 and that a portion of the meeting be set aside for public input. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Jordan, followed by discussion. Commissioner Sosa said she was concerned that scheduling the public hearing for the same day as the Board�s discussion on the items would limit the public�s ability to provide input. Chairman Martinez asked the Clerk to provide him with the number of public hearings this Charter Review Task Force held and how many members of the public attended those meetings. He postponed the vote on the motion to defer the items pending the Clerk�s response. In response to Commissioner Monestime�s question as to what methods existed, other than petitions, for amending the Charter, Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal advised that the other method was the Commission initiation. He explained that the issue as to whether the Charter Review Task Force members could place something directly on the ballot was placed before the voters in January, and was defeated; therefore, they did not have independent authority in the Charter. Pursuant to Commissioner Monestime�s inquiry as to whether the Board was contradicting its process when it stated its intent to place certain items from the Charter Review on the ballot, County Attorney Cuevas pointed out that the items must come back to the Board before being placed on the ballot. Commissioner Edmonson noted she concurred with her fellow commissioners� comments that the Board needed time to vet these issues and the public needed time to review and state their opinions before voting on them. Commissioner Monestime expressed concern that August 23, 2012 was too distant and expressed the desire to have this meeting sooner. Commissioner Heyman noted she believed that four of the Charter Review items could be vetted out and acted upon today. Chairman Martinez stated that some of those items could also be enacted through ordinance as opposed to a Charter amendment. Commissioner Jordan asked if, following the scheduled public hearing, anything would preclude placing the items on the November 2012 ballot, and what the deadline was for placing items on the November election ballot. Ms. Penny Townsley, Supervisor of Elections, indicated that the internal deadline for items to be approved for placement on the ballot was August 17, 2012. She noted a buffer period until August 23, 2012 was available provided the veto period was waived by the Mayor. Chairman Martinez pointed out that if the Board forwarded the items on August 23, the Elections Department would have 74 days to prepare. Ms. Townsley provided a detailed explanation for adherence to the absolute deadline of August 23; otherwise, she said, the integrity of this election would be compromised. Commissioner Jordan stated that the Board members should be responsive to the Elections Supervisor. She expressed concern that waiting until August 23rd would cause the election preparation process to be rushed and recommended only those items that were non-controversial be deferred to a meeting on the 23rd. She pointed out that some Board members might not be able to attend the August 23rd meeting. Commissioner Bovo expressed opposition to the motion to defer all of the Charter items to August 23, 2012, and recommended that the items be placed on the ballot as proposed by the Task Force so the voters could vote them up or down. Chairman Martinez clarified that the question on the table was not whether to put the items before the voters, but rather whether commissioners had read the items and were ready to vote on them today or on August 23. There being no further discussion, upon a roll call vote, the motion put forth by Commissioner Diaz and seconded by Commissioner Jordan, that all Charter Review Task Force proposals (Resolutions under Item Numbers: 10A1-10A15 and all proposed Alternates) be deferred to August 23, 2012 and that a portion of the meeting be set aside for public input, passed by a vote of 7-6; (Chairman Martinez and Commissioners Bell, Diaz, Moss, Souto, Suarez, and Edmonson voted �yes�; Commissioners Barreiro, Bovo, Heyman, Jordan, Monestime, and Sosa voted �no�). County Attorney Cuevas advised that the passing of the foregoing motion would serve as instruction to the County Attorney�s Office staff to prepare a written call for a Special Meeting on August 23, 2012, to consider these Charter Review items, and to circulate the call for signatures in accordance with the Rules of Procedure. He clarified that this would be a Special Meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, not related to the 1st Budget/Committee of the Whole meeting scheduled for the same date. **The following discussion occurred during consideration of the foregoing item (1F2)** Chairman Martinez recognized Senator Rene Garcia, Chairman, Charter Review Task Force, to come forward and present the Charter Review Amendments. It was moved by Commissioner Bell that the Board reconsider its action regarding presentation of the Charter Review Amendments. She requested that a Charter Review Public Hearing be scheduled for Thursday, July 19, 2012, to allow sufficient time for constituents to express their concerns. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Sosa, and upon roll call vote, passed by a vote of 6-5; (Commissioners Sosa, Souto, Barreiro, Bell, Bovo, and Heyman voted �yes�; Chairman Martinez and Commissioners Jordan, Moss, Diaz, Edmonson voted �no�; Commissioners Monestime and Suarez were absent). County Attorney Cuevas advised that in order to pass a motion to reconsider a previous action when the number of members voting was less than voted in the original motion, a 2/3 vote was needed. Following the Clerk�s statement that no vote was recorded for Commissioners Monestime and Suarez, Commissioner Suarez advised that he wished to vote �yes� on the motion to reconsider, changing the vote to 7-5. County Attorney Cuevas clarified that 2/3 of 12 was eight; therefore, this motion to reconsider failed due to lack of a 2/3 vote. Commissioner Sosa expressed concern with the Board deferring all of the Charter Review Items to August 23, 2012 but hearing the presentations regarding those items today. She noted the deferral was already published in the newspapers and the members of the public attending in connection with the Charter Review had left the Chambers based on the deferral. Commissioner Sosa pointed out that allowing presentations now would send a negative message to the community. Chairman Martinez explained that the Board members needed an appropriate amount of time to review the documents relating to the Charter Review Items before considering them, noting the date for their consideration was changed for this reason and to allow the public to participate. However, he stated, the Charter Review Task Force members who were attending today�s (07/17) meeting would be allowed to make their presentation. Senator Rene Garcia appeared before the Board and introduced Task Force members Ms. Pamela Perry, Mr. Don Slesnick, Mr. Lawrence Percival, Mr. Terry Murphy, and Mayor J.C. Bermudez. He provided a historical overview of the creation of the Charter Review Task Force and explained that its purpose was to review the Home Rule Charter and submit to the Board recommendations for any proposed amendments and/or revisions to the Charter. He stated that the Board expressed its intent to forward recommendations with a 2/3 majority vote for placement on the ballot of the next available countywide election. Chairman Garcia indicated that the Task Force held multiple public hearings across the County and created a Website for public interaction regarding the Task Force�s recommendations. He stated that the following knowledgeable members of the community were invited to provide input: County Mayor Carlos Gimenez, Clerk of Courts Harvey Ruvin, Inspector General Christopher Mazzella, Commission on Ethics and Public Trust Executive Director Joseph Centorino, South Broward Hospital District Representative Frank Sacco, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) President/Jackson Memorial Hospital Registered Nurse Martha Baker, and Financial Recovery Board (FRB) Chairman Marcus Lapciuc. He noted several elected officials, including Board of County Commissioners Chairman Joe Martinez, Representative Juan Carlos Zapata, Miami Lakes Council member Nelson Hernandez, and representatives from various community organizations, including Let�s Incorporate Now, West Kendall MAC, League of Women Voters, and International Association of Fire Fighters also gave presentations at the public hearings. Senator Garcia said that the Task Force hosted a televised public hearing in the Commission Chambers on June 20, 2012, to present its recommendations and receive feedback from the public. He stated that residents were able to participate by attending in person, calling in, or e-mailing their comments, noting 25 people spoke during the public hearing and emails from the members of the public were also received. Senator Garcia stated that the Task Force members believed the degree of public participation fully complied with the Board�s desire to engage the community in this process and promote greater awareness of the Home Rule Charter. He highlighted the recommendations that received a 2/3 majority vote of the Task Force members and the issues with which the Clerk of Courts expressed concern. He noted the Task Force discussed issues regarding Commission term limits; the Unincorporated Development Boundary (UDB); and the incorporation process, which he noted received a 2/3 vote. Senator Garcia explained the recommendation for incorporation proposed by the Task Force, noting the process called for the Clerk of Court to certify the signatures on the petition within 30 days, which raised concerns with the Clerk. Senator Garcia noted the Clerk had requested that the Supervisor of Elections be required to verify the signatures on the petitions. He stated the recommendations that received a 2/3 vote included the Mayor�s responsibilities regarding intergovernmental affairs; the salaries of Commissioners; the Mayoral vacancy succession plan, with which the Clerk expressed concerns; commissioners� conflict with outside employment; and Mayoral Conflict of Interest in the procurement process. Senator Garcia noted the Task Force submitted 16 recommendations to the Board for approval. He expressed his pleasure in working with the Task Force members and his appreciation to the Mayor and his staff, as well as the County Attorney�s Office for their input and advice. Chairman Martinez expressed appreciation to Senator Garcia and members of the Task Force for the work they did. He acknowledged receipt of the attendance sheets for the six public hearings hosted by the Task Force and observed that a combined total of 91 people, including staff, candidates, repeat attendees, news media personnel, lobbyists, and elected officials signed the attendance sheets of the six meetings. He asked that the members of the Task Force consider attending the public hearing on August 23, 2012. Chairman Martinez asked the County Administration to ensure that the items regarding the Charter Review Task Force recommendations and Commission-sponsored alternatives scheduled to be considered at the August 23, 2012 Special Meeting of the Board of County Commissioner were advertised in the Daily Business Review newspaper and on the County�s Website. Commissioner Heyman asked Task Force members to provide Commission members with the critical issues pertaining to each of the recommendations raised by public speakers at the six public hearings. She asked Task Force members to explain the concerns of the residents of the few municipalities who chose not to avail themselves of the rights granted under the Citizens� Bill of Rights. Senator Garcia explained that several municipalities had their own Bill of Rights, and the residents in these municipalities chose to be governed by this document rather than by the County�s Citizens� Bill of Rights. He indicated that the Task Force members chose to amend the County�s Citizens� Bill of Rights to exclude these municipalities from the Commission on Ethic�s enforcement where the municipalities had provided the Circuit Court with the exclusive remedy. Commissioner Heyman clarified that the information she requested should indicate whether the Task Force members strongly supported this position or whether most of them were in favor of having all County residents governed by the County�s Citizens� Bill of Rights. Commissioner Sosa requested that the questions regarding the recommendations be asked during the public hearing scheduled for August 23, 2012. In response to Senator Garcia�s request that the Board schedule the Charter Review Public Hearing as a time certain item on the agenda, Chairman Martinez noted this would be set at 10:00 a.m. Regarding County Attorney Cuevas� request to recall the previously scheduled time of 9:30 a.m. and replace it with 10:00 a.m., Chairman Martinez requested that the time remain as 9:30 a.m. Commissioner Bovo congratulated the Task Force members on doing a good job and asked if the members considered the Mayoral vacancy succession issue and whether it passed with a 2/3 vote. Senator Garcia confirmed that the members considered the issue; however, he indicated that it did not receive a 2/3 vote. Chairman Martinez asked the County Administration to ensure that the Charter Review Task Force Website was configured to enable the public to place their comments directly on the site regarding the issues being considered. Commissioner Sosa asked the County Attorney�s Office to review the Charter Review Task Force�s recommendations to determine whether some issues could be accomplished by legislation via ordinance/resolution, and to provide her with their findings. She asked the County Attorney�s Office to also provide her with clarification as to whether the Task Force�s recommendations that were approved could be made applicable countywide. Commissioner Moss asked the County Administration to investigate the article published in the July 17, 2012 Miami Herald regarding the Charter Review process and present a response at the August 23, 2012 Special Meeting. Following closing remarks by Senator Garcia regarding the Miami Herald article and a summary of the process which the Task Force members used to develop their recommendations, the Board accepted the foregoing report, as presented.
1G	MOTION TO SET THE AGENDA AND "PULL LIST"
	REPORT: County Attorney Cuevas noted the following preliminary matters: - Add-on Agenda Items 14A1 through 14A6 would be considered adopted when the agenda was set; - Agenda Item 1F1 should be deferred; - The sponsor requested that Agenda Item 11A5 be deferred to November 20, 2012; - Chairman Martinez requested that Agenda Item 8G1 be added to the Pull List; - Commissioner Diaz requested that Agenda Items 8H1 and 8O1 be added to the Pull List; and - Commissioners Diaz and Edmonson asked to be listed as additional pulling commissioners for Agenda Item 8O2. Discussion ensued among Commission members and staff regarding County Attorney Cuevas� inquiry as to whether all of the Charter Amendment Items listed on today�s agenda (1F2 and 10A1 through 10A15 and their Alternates), should be placed on the Pull List. (SEE REPORT UNDER AGENDA ITEM 1F2; LEGISLATIVE FILE NO. 121420.) Following the discussion, County Attorney Cuevas resumed the setting of today�s agenda noting Commissioner Monestime asked to be listed as additional pulling commissioner for Item 8G1. He advised that the items to be considered in today�s (7/17) meeting were those listed in the printed final agenda, with the additions, deferrals, withdrawals, and scrivener�s errors noted in the BCC Chairman Joe A. Martinez� Changes Memorandum. He further advised that the Commission would approved all of those items by a single vote, setting the agenda, except ordinances on first reading, public hearings including Item 5L-Labor Impasse, and the following Pull List Items: 1F2, 8C1 Substitute, 8G1, 8H1, 8O1, 8O2, 11A3, and 11A6. It was moved by Commissioner Sosa that the Board approve today�s (7/17) agenda with the requested changes noted by the County Attorney. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Diaz, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 13-0. Subsequently, Commissioner Diaz released Item 8H1 from the Pull List and moved that it be adopted as presented. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Sosa, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 13-0. Commissioner Monestime requested a point of personal privilege and recognized Ms. Paola Garcia and Mr. Adley Calixte, two summer interns who provided excellent service to Commission District 2. He noted these two very bright individuals would likely be future leaders of this community.

Chairman Martinez opened the public hearing and called for persons wishing to be heard. He closed the public hearing after no one appeared wishing to speak. It was moved by Commissioner Suarez that the foregoing proposed resolution be adopted as presented. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Sosa, followed by discussion. In response to Commissioner Diaz� inquiry regarding the funding source for this new retaining wall, Mr. Joel Hoffman, Executive Director, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, indicated that funding sources included the Florida Inland Navigation District, a private grant from the Bachelor Foundation, and possibly a small amount from the Biscayne Bay Environmental Enhancement Trust Fund. He described the area where the retaining wall would be constructed, noting the area was prone to flooding. In response to Chairman Martinez� question as to why, in the resolution, the funding source was shown as �non-applicable,� Mr. Lee Hefty, Assistant Director, Regulatory and Economic Resources/ Department of Environmental Resources Management, stated this was a regulatory item and, therefore, the funding was a regulatory decision for environmental permits. Chairman Martinez asked the Administration to include the funding source on all items presented for Board approval with fiscal relevance, regardless of whether they would be County funded or not. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

	REPORT: First Assistant County Attorney Abigail Price-Williams read the foregoing proposed resolution into the record. Chairman Martinez opened the public hearing and called for persons wishing to be heard. He closed the public hearing after no one appeared wishing to speak. It was moved by Commissioner Diaz that the foregoing proposed resolution be adopted as presented. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Monestime, followed by discussion. In response to Commissioner Edmonson�s question as to whether the County discovered this violation or whether the property owner voluntarily acknowledged his wrong-doing, Mr. Lee Hefty stated that the County discovered the violation and had been working with the property owner to resolve the issue for a period of time. He explained that although the property owner impacted 81 acres, only 70.6 acres were being replaced because the operation had created significantly high quality wetlands on the other 10.4 acres. Mr. Hefty explained that, based on their professional analysis, staff members believed the mitigation was consistent with State Law. Commissioner Edmonson noted she would vote �no� on this proposed resolution because she believed the other 10.4 acres should be restored. In response to Commissioner Sosa�s question, Mr. Hefty confirmed that the discovery of the violation resulted in this after-the-fact request and this issue began in 1985. Pursuant to Commissioner Moss�s question, Mr. Hefty confirmed that staff believed the owner�s cooperation and mitigation for the violation was fair. Commissioner Diaz commended Mr. Hefty on the outstanding job he was doing, noting he had received calls from people commending Mr. Hefty�s treatment of them. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

	REPORT: Commissioner Edmonson indicated that she placed this item on today�s agenda at the request of the Cultural Affairs Department staff to allow full discussion to occur regarding this matter. She noted she would vote in favor of the item, but questioned the wisdom of paying approximately $400 million on a building without securing structural warranties. In response to Commissioner Edmonson�s question as to whether the Performing Arts Center (PAC) was currently covered by any warranties, Mr. Lester Sola, Director, Internal Services Department, explained that this item was requesting authorization for staff to spend funds to rebuild the PAC�s damaged areas in time to resume operations in the fall. Additionally, he noted, this authorization also included engaging a forensics engineer to review the entire scope of the project, determine what occurred, and provide support in the event the County pursued any claims against the manufacturers and/or contractors. He confirmed that the $5 million which the Administration was requesting was the County�s deductible and the request was for �up to� $5 million, adding that insurance policies would activate during business interruptions. Commissioner Edmonson expressed concern with the County�s failure to have at least a 10-year warranty in place, commensurate with the size and cost of the building that would repair damages at no cost to the County. In response to Chairman Martinez� inquiry as to whether a warranty was in place, Mr. Sola explained that the warranties that were in effect had expired, adding that customarily warranties lasted for one year. He noted it would be necessary to determine whether the damage was caused due to a defect in contractor workmanship or in the materials used. Chairman Martinez noted he would vote �no� on this item and asked for the name of the contractors for the PAC, to which a representative from the County Attorney�s Office advised it was a Joint Venture Contractor: Performing Arts Center Builders (PACB) comprised of Haskell Group, Ellis Don, and Odebrecht construction firms. Chairman Martinez expressed concern that once the Board adopted this resolution, the contractor would have no incentive to take any responsibility or pay for any of the damage. In response to Commissioner Jordan�s inquiry regarding the forensic review, Mr. Sola noted the forensics engineer would serve as an expert witness should this matter go into litigation. He confirmed that Commissioner Jordan was correct in her concern that pipes identical to the damaged pipe also existed in other areas of the PAC. The staff of the Internal Services Department and the County Attorney�s Office would determine whether to pursue litigation based on the forensic analysis� findings, noted Mr. Sola. County Attorney Cuevas advised that a potential operational issue could also exist because of an agreement by which the PACB managed the building; as a result, there could be an allocation of liability between PACB and the County. In response to Commissioner Moss� inquiry as to whether the private sector initially managed the building of the PAC, Mr. Michael Spring, Director, Cultural Affairs Department, clarified that the County managed the PAC project from its inception. He added that the private sector participated in the oversight of the project management; however, the County ultimately built and completed the project. Commissioner Moss expressed concern with the amount of the County�s insurance deductible payment. Nevertheless, he noted he would support this item so as not to interfere with the cultural services which the PAC provided to the community, nor impede the positive growth occurring at the Center. Commissioner Sosa asked that this resolution be amended directing staff to include a report detailing the forensic analysis� findings, identifying the responsible party, if legal action was necessary, and whether the damage was covered by insurance, since the PAC was pursuing reimbursement options from the insurance coverage. County Attorney Robert Cuevas advised that the resolution need not be amended, as the Board could simply instruct or direct staff to produce this report. Commissioner Suarez explained an alternative approach to circumvent the �wind-driven rain exclusion� provision in insurance policies and agreed to provide staff with the contact information for Dr. Luis Prieto-Potar, an expert who assisted him previously in a similar situation. Commissioner Souto recalled the numerous problems the County experienced during the construction of the PAC and emphasized the importance of determining the root cause of the damage to prevent it from recurring in the future. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended. It was moved by Commissioner Sosa that the foregoing proposed resolution be adopted as amended to include language directing staff to bring back to the County Commission a report on the forensic analysis� findings, identifying the responsible party, if legal action was necessary, and whether the water damage was covered by insurance. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Bell, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 9-2; (Chairman Martinez and Commissioner Barreiro voted �no�; Commissioners Diaz and Suarez were absent). The amended version has been assigned Resolution No. R-635-12.

	RESOLUTION SETTING THE PROPOSED FY 2012-13 COUNTYWIDE, UNINCORPORATED MUNICIPAL SERVICE AREA, LIBRARY DISTRICT AND FIRE RESCUE DISTRICT OPERATING MILLAGE, COUNTYWIDE AND FIRE RESCUE DISTRICT DEBT SERVICE MILLAGE, AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT RATES; AND SETTING THE DATE, TIME AND LOCATION OF THE PUBLIC BUDGET HEARINGS(Office of Management and Budget)			Adopted Resolution R-636-12 Mover: Lynda Bell Seconder: Rebeca Sosa Vote: 10 - 3 No: Monestime , Barreiro , Martinez
	REPORT: Chairman Martinez advised Board members that discussion regarding the foregoing proposed resolution should be restricted to setting the millage rate. It was moved by Commissioner Bell that the foregoing proposed resolution be adopted as presented. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Sosa, followed by discussion. In response to Commissioner Monestime�s question as to whether the millage rate for Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA) was being reduced from 2.0083 to 1.9283, Ms. Jennifer Moon, Director, Office of Management and Budget, confirmed that the UMSA millage rate would be 1.9283. Commissioner Monestime expressed concern with the millage rate for UMSA being the lowest of every other municipality in the County, except Aventura. He pointed out that District 3 encompassed a large portion of UMSA, noting the reduced millage rate would not support delivery of a decent level of services. He also expressed concern with the debt service millage rate. Commissioner Monestime spoke in opposition to the foregoing proposed resolution. Commissioner Sosa expressed her support for reducing the millage rates for the countywide and UMSA budgets. Commissioner Edmonson noted she concurred with Commissioner Monestime�s comments in opposition to reducing the UMSA millage rate. She said she understood that the four percent contributed by County employees towards the cost of health insurance would last only one year, and she would like for this money to be returned to them. Commissioner Edmonson noted she could not support further reducing the millage rate. It was moved by Commissioner Monestime that the foregoing proposed resolution be amended to provide that the UMSA millage rate remain flat. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Jordan. Commissioner Bell, maker of the original motion to adopt this resolution as presented, did not accept the proposed amendment. In response to Commissioner Jordan�s question as to whether Commissioner Bell�s motion included returning the four percent contribution to County employees, Mayor Carlos Gimenez indicated that an Impasse Reserve of $23 million could be allocated within the proposed millages, should this Commission decide not to impose the four percent contribution. County Attorney Robert Cuevas advised that the Board would vote to return the four percent contribution to the employees during the actual Budget Process. Commissioner Jordan pointed out that when she made the motion to approve the four percent employee contribution, she intended for it to be returned at the end of the current fiscal year (September 30, 2012). However, since then, she had been told that if no agreement was reached, the funds would be in reserve until the impasse was resolved, at which time the Board could vote to return the funds to the employees. Chairman Martinez questioned whether this issue could be discussed since some Board members had been served with subpoenas. Mayor Gimenez stated that the impasse with two of the County�s labor unions was based on the four percent employee contribution. He acknowledged that last year when the Board members voted in favor of imposing the four percent contribution, their intention was to impose it only for one year. This was the reason for the $23 million Impasse Reserve, and should the Board members vote to not impose the four percent contribution this year, it would be funded inside these millages, noted Mayor Gimenez. Discussion ensued among Board members and the County Attorney regarding an amendment to the Board�s Rules of Procedure providing that a public hearing be held during the process to set the millage rate. In response to Commissioner Diaz� comment that he requested the public hearing be held this fiscal year, County Attorney Cuevas stated that the ordinance establishing that rule was not finished in time for today�s discussion. Commissioner Diaz recalled that a request was made previously to Chairman Martinez to schedule a public hearing, prior to the date scheduled for the Board to set the millage rate, to allow members of the public to provide their comments. Commissioner Bell clarified that this discussion occurred in the Committee on Internal Management and Fiscal Responsibility in response to an item which she sponsored. Although she pointed out that this was within the purview of the BCC Chairman, the other committee members were very insistent, Commissioner Bell noted, so she allowed the item to be amended. Commissioner Jordan noted that the request referred to by Commissioner Diaz was made by Mr. Fred Frost and that the item before the Committee was amended to include that request. However, she emphasized that the item had not yet been brought before the full Commission, and compliance would not be possible until the next fiscal year. Commissioner Jordan noted the disparity existing between Commission Districts with and without unincorporated areas and asked those commissioners with minimal unincorporated areas to be sensitive to the entire County. She said that continually reducing the millage rate for unincorporated communities gave the impression that the County was not concerned with those areas. Commissioner Jordan urged her colleagues to open their minds and hearts to the fact that unincorporated Dade needed the same level of support for aesthetics and services that the incorporated areas received. Commissioner Jordan noted she concurred with Commissioner Monetime�s concern regarding the millage rate for UMSA. She expressed her support for the Mayor�s proposed budget contingent upon the four percent healthcare contribution being returned to the employees. Commissioner Moss noted he concurred with Commissioners Monestime and Jordan, and pointed out that his Commission District (9) also contained a large amount of UMSA communities. He observed how well maintained were Broward County�s roads and medians, and how their code enforcement was applied, noting this level of services was not provided in the UMSA communities. Commissioner Moss said that he was thinking of incorporating more areas in his district to provide them with the same level of services that incorporated areas received. He stated that, as Chair of the Community Image Advisory Board, it was frustrating to observe the decline in the maintenance of open spaces as compared to the manner in which they were maintained during the previous, more economically sound period. Commissioner Moss noted he voted in support of the four percent employee healthcare contribution based on the understanding that the contribution would be returned to employees if the opportunity became available. In response to Commissioner Moss� inquiry as to how the budget would be impacted if the UMSA millage rates remained flat for FY 2012-13, Ms. Moon stated that the millage rate would change to 2.0083 from the proposed 1.9283, generating an additional $4.132 million for the UMSA. She explained that the phrase, �keeping the millage rate flat,� meant that the exact same tax rate would be applied to a different value of the property tax roll. Ms. Moon said that if the millage rate remained flat across the board, an additional $15.465 million would be available countywide, the funds available for the Fire District would not change, and an additional $1.4 million would be available for the Library. Commissioner Moss said that he would await the outcome of the foregoing proposed budget and recommended that the Board be allowed as much flexibility as possible in setting the millage rate. He stated he wanted to ensure that, if the possibility existed within this year�s budget, the four percent healthcare contribution would be returned to the employees. Ms. Moon clarified that the revenue figures which she provided earlier were the additional revenues generated, and that a portion of those revenues accrued to the Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRA) in the countywide and unincorporated areas. She stated there would be slightly less available for service enhancement in the County�s budget. Commissioner Moss pointed out that $4.1 million for UMSA before the CRA deduction was insufficient to implement a significant number of projects and stressed the need to find the means to accomplish more in UMSA. Commissioner Edmonson noted she concurred with Commissioner Moss� comments regarding the proposed UMSA millage rate increase. She stated she could not support this proposed budget. Referring to last year�s budget deficit, Commissioner Monestime pointed out that the Board sought to reduce expenses in many areas, including in the provision of roadway and open space maintenance services; however, he said that he hoped those areas would be better maintained this year. He noted $4 million could represent a substantial amount for the UMSA and stressed that keeping the UMSA millage rate flat would not cause the overall rate for the County to increase. Commissioner Monestime asked the maker of the motion to reconsider his proposed amendment to keep the UMSA millage flat to allow time to review alternatives. In response to Chairman Martinez� question as to the State of Florida�s definition of a tax increase, Ms. Moon explained that anything above the �roll back� millage rate was considered a tax increase, and clarified that this proposed rate was actually a tax increase. Ms. Moon advised that the Truth in Millage (TRIM) notices would not indicate this was a tax increase; however, if the millage rate remained the same between the First and Second Budget Hearings, the rate would be advertised as a tax increase. Pursuant to Chairman Martinez� statement that he was unaware of any reference to the Value Adjustment Board (VAB) appearing in prior Budget Proposals, Ms. Moon explained that staff attempted to make the language more comprehensible this year. Chairman Martinez pointed out that this budget proposal, as presented, was a tax increase, even without Commissioner Monestime�s amendment, because it was above the �roll back� millage rate. Commissioner Heyman referred to her fellow commissioners� comments regarding the aesthetic disparity between UMSA and County municipalities, and between Miami-Dade and Broward Counties� roadways and open spaces, noting Broward County was almost completely incorporated and its residents paid County as well as municipal taxes. She observed that if the tax rate remained flat, $19 million savings would be realized, and asked Mayor Gimenez to explain how these savings would be generated. Mayor Gimenez explained that if the rate was kept flat, there would be an additional $16 million in countywide, $2.7 million in Fire, and $4 million in UMSA budgets. He noted in his proposal the impact from a flat rate was $1.5 million less in revenue budgeted from countywide; $2.7 million more in Fire; $688,000 less in Library; and $4.8 million less in UMSA than budgeted last year. Mayor Gimenez stated that the amount budgeted for FY 2012-13 was $4.3 million less than what was budgeted last year. He explained that this proposal would not impact services provided because more than 600 vacant County positions currently existed, adding that for the first time in three years, funds would be allocated for the replacement classes in the Police and Fire Departments. Mayor Gimenez noted the reorganization enabled the County to save close to $40 million this year and in excess of $40 million next year, which allowed it to balance the budget, accrue an Impasse Reserve, and reduce the millage rate another two percent. In response to Commissioner Edmonson�s question, Ms. Moon confirmed that the Mayor�s proposed budget would be advertised as a tax increase, adding that State Law provided that TRIM notices clearly inform people of tax increases. She defined �roll back� as the amount of revenue expected to be generated in the current year, then adjusted for new construction; and reiterated that anything above �roll back� was defined as a tax increase. Discussion ensued between the Board and staff members regarding the State�s definition of tax increase and whether a tax increase would result from the Mayor�s proposal and/or the proposed amendment to that proposal. Mayor Gimenez explained that he recommended a two percent reduction in the millage rate; the property valuation was increased by two percent; and individual homeowner�s property taxes could either increase or decrease, based on the property�s value. He noted the County�s tax bills, according to his proposal, would be $4 million less than last year. Commissioner Edmonson expressed opposition to increasing taxes and explained that she perceived this proposal as a tax increase based on the State�s definition. Commissioner Suarez commended the Commission Auditor for providing the comparative tables for the County budget that clarified a number of questions asked by Board members. He asked that this information be made available on the County�s website to help the general public understand the different alternatives and that it be included in future budget packages. Commissioner Suarez stated that he would vote in favor of the Mayor�s proposal and that he supported giving the four percent back to County employees. Commissioner Bovo expressed his support of the motion to adopt the foregoing resolution and noted he concurred with the comments in support of UMSA receiving the same type of tax relief that municipalities received. In response to Commissioner Bovo�s question regarding a two-year period for the VAB to adjust/correct property values, Ms. Moon explained that the 2010 VAB process was completed in March/April 2012 and the 2011 VAB process was still underway. Pursuant to Commissioner Bovo�s question regarding the impact of the number of property values appealed and adjusted on the County�s revenues, Ms. Moon stated that the County lost approximately $30 million this current budget year. She indicated that the projected Ad Valorem revenue would be $30 million less than the amount budgeted for this current year. In response to Commissioner Bovo�s question regarding what number of property values were appealed and what percentage of those appeals were adjusted, Mr. Lazaro Solis, Deputy Property Appraiser, noted the number of appeals had continued to drop over the past three years due to the dramatic drop in the tax roll by more than $60 billion in taxable value. He stated approximately 80,000 properties were currently being appealed and pointed out that the timeframe to resolve an appeal had been extended from nine months to 18 months. Commissioner Bovo asked the Property Appraiser to provide him with a report outlining what percentage of property taxes were appealed, what percentage of appeals were adjusted, and how those percentages compared with other counties in Florida. He commended Mayor Gimenez on his proposed budget and expressed support for this proposal. Commissioner Diaz spoke in support of the Mayor�s proposed budget and provided his position regarding various line items within the Mayor�s proposal. He expressed concern regarding the decreased millage rate for the UMSA area and asked if that portion could be bifurcated out. Commissioner Diaz noted he disagreed with the State�s definition of roll back and he did not perceive the proposed reduction of $4.3 million in Ad Valorem revenue as a tax increase. He noted the budget as presented would greatly impact the departments under the UMSA budget, including Parks, Police, and Public Works. Ms. Moon stressed the fact that this proposal as presented would not change any services because the same levels of services were funded. She pointed out that savings were realized through the reorganization of County departments. Mayor Gimenez explained that the reorganization of the County departments had generated $40 million in savings this year and would generate $40 million in savings next year, which would assist with funding services. In response to Commissioner Diaz� reference to a letter from the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) advising of 56 fewer personnel in the Police Department if this proposed budget was approved, Ms. Moon explained that those 56 positions consisted of seven command staff positions and the remainder were non-sworn positions. She stated that by the end of next year, more sworn police officers would be patrolling the streets pursuant to this proposed budget. Responding to Commissioner Diaz� question as to whether funds could be taken from one department to support another, County Attorney Robert Cuevas stated this could be done as long as it was within the same tax district. He also clarified that the millage rate could not be increased for the four taxing jurisdictions. Commissioner Diaz expressed concern with the UMSA millage rate being low and asked the Mayor to revise it upward slightly by adjusting the countywide rate as the Board would not be able to increase the millage rate once the budget was approved. In response to Commissioner Jordan�s question as to whether adopting the roll back rate would affect the County�s ability to return the four percent contribution to employees, Mayor Gimenez indicated that adopting the roll back rate would result in $48 million less in revenue than adopting the proposed budget and stressed that this would absolutely affect the return of four percent to employees. Pursuant to Commissioner Jordan�s inquiry as to whether adopting the roll back rate would affect employee layoffs, Ms. Moon advised that as 92 percent of the Fire District budget was funded by Ad Valorem taxes, it would be impacted most by the adoption of a roll back rate. She confirmed that adopting the roll back rate would be considered by the State as not increasing taxes. In response to Commissioner Jordan�s question as to whether services would be reduced for UMSA even with the roll back rate, Ms. Moon indicated that the rate proposed was below the roll back rate for UMSA individually because the UMSA tax roll lost value. Commissioner Jordan expressed concern regarding the UMSA rate; however, she noted she was pleased that funds would be allocated for the replacement classes in the Police and Fire Departments; consequently, she would support the Mayor�s proposed budget. Commissioner Monestime indicated that his only concern was with the UMSA rate being lower than that of other municipalities which would make it impossible to provide the services needed in his District (Dist. 2). He noted to attract increased investments in his community, sanitation, safety, and environmental services needed to be increased. In response to Commissioner Monestime�s question as to whether any residents would pay higher taxes if the roll back rate was adopted, Ms. Moon advised that more taxes would be assessed if their properties� values increased by more than 5 � percent. Pursuant to Commissioner Monestime�s inquiry as to the reduction in revenues if the overall millage rate was reduced by 2 percent and the UMSA rate remained flat, Ms. Moon stated this would cause a $14 million reduction in countywide revenues. She explained how the different scenarios proposed by Commissioner Monestime would affect the countywide revenues. Ms. Moon explained that the proposed budget was developed by determining how much resource was needed in order to maintain the same level of services without having additional layoffs. She said that the Administration took into account the savings realized through the County departments� reorganization, and other savings, and determined what the millage rates would need to be in order to achieve its goals, including the Impasse Reserve if the Board decided to return the four percent contribution to the employees. Commissioner Monestime noted the Mayor�s proposed budget overall was good; however, he preferred for the level of services to be increased for UMSA. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the motion made by Commissioner Bell and seconded by Commissioner Sosa, that the Mayor�s proposed budget be adopted, as presented.

	REPORT: In response to Commissioner Jordan�s questions regarding the reason the potential risk was not discovered sooner, Mr. John Renfrow, Director, Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department Director (WASD), explained that the technology necessary to detect this type of problem was not available. He stated, once available, technology uncovered in December 2011 that the sewer pipe donated to the County by the City of Miami Beach was in need of repair and at risk of bursting. Mr. Renfrow explained that the City of Miami Beach refused to bear any responsibility for the costs to remedy this situation and that the risk of the pipe�s imminent rupture prompted staff to request a change order instead of initiating a competitive bid process. In response to Commissioner Jordan�s inquiry as to whether an expedited competitive bid process could provide a cost savings to the County and what timeframe would be involved, Mr. Renfrow explained that this project was being implemented for the benefit of the Port of Miami and the County and had to be done quickly to clear the way for the Miami Harbor Federal Navigation Project�s dredging route by 2014. He noted this proposed repair was projected to take approximately 210 days and stressed the need to continue with the current contractor to avoid additional delays. Mr. Lester Sola, Director, Internal Services Department, clarified that this was not a standard County contract, but rather a design-build job that followed Florida Statutes 287.055. He noted a design-build contract provided the County with the ability to hire a design professional and a contractor; and if this type of contract was re-bid, it would require hiring a design criteria professional and then doing a solicitation for a team of architects, engineers and a contractor and could take from three to nine months. Mr. Sola indicated that the County had three options: (1) to request a change order; (2) to re-engage a design-build team; or (3) to hire an engineering firm to do the designs and later initiate a bid process, which would take even longer to complete. In response to Commissioner Jordan�s question as to whether this was the absolute lowest price possible for this contract, Mr. Renfrow stated that he was confident this price was the lowest available as it was obtained approximately eight months ago and would be even higher at today�s prices. Responding to Commissioner Jordan�s inquiry on the status of a report she requested during the January 11, 2012 Infrastructure and Land Use Committee meeting regarding aging water and sewer infrastructure in the County, Mayor Carlos Gimenez noted he would provide the report to her immediately following a briefing with the WASD Director and a Deputy Mayor. Commissioner Jordan asked the County Mayor to place a discussion item on the Board�s agenda, under her sponsorship, regarding the report she previously requested, on the aging water and sewer infrastructure, including a cost analysis of repairing water and sewer lines/pipes in each Commission district, as well as a report on water and sewer pipeline breakages. Commissioner Edmonson noted she was concerned when Ric-Man Construction, Inc. agreed to reduce the amount of the original contract by $1.4 million in April 2011 and stated, at that time, she believed a change order would be requested in the future. She questioned the difference between the original contract to replace pipes and this change order request to replace the same pipes for an additional $22 million. Mayor Gimenez explained that the original contract was to replace the pipe and make it deeper because of the dredge and tie-in to an existing pipe; however, the existing pipe was found to be defective. He noted the route had to be changed to avoid the defective pipe, which could not be used. In response to Commissioner Edmonson�s question as to how the extension of time would affect the dredging project, Mr. Renfrow explained that the pipe replacement job would be completed within 210 days, well before the beginning of the dredging project. He noted the Community Small Business Enterprise (CSBE) percentage participation goals would remain the same as in the original contract. Commissioner Diaz noted he understood the reason for the request and supported expediting the pipe replacement; however, he expressed concern regarding the high costs of this project. In response to Commissioner Diaz� inquiry as to the funding source for this project, Mr. Renfrow advised that the funds would be generated from WASD�s budget funds. Pursuant to Commissioner Diaz� recommendation that staff initiate a holistic analysis of the County�s water and sewer infrastructure using the updated technology, Mr. Renfrow stated that this task was already in progress. Responding to Chairman Martinez� question as to whether the County�s original plans for direct drilling were disallowed by the City of Miami Beach, Mr. Renfrow explained that the County tried to negotiate with the City of Miami Beach to put a shaft on land; however, due to excessive delay, the County staff decided to place the shaft in the water. Pursuant to Chairman Martinez� inquiry as to why the original plan to drill directly from the beach was not feasible, Mr. Eduardo Vega, Assistant Director, WASD, explained that acquiring easements from private property owners would take too long. Additionally, he noted, horizontal directional drilling presented a greater risk due to the need for more borings into the pipe. In response to Commissioner Moss� question regarding whether he supported this proposed resolution, Mayor Gimenez noted he examined the problem and determined the proposed alternative needed to be done immediately. Pertaining to Commissioner Moss� inquiry regarding the year the City of Miami Beach donated the pipe to the County, Mr. Renfrow said that it was in 1979. Commissioner Heyman stressed how fortunate the Board was to have knowledge regarding this potential crisis before it happened and listed various County resources that would be impacted by a massive sewage spill, including the tourist trade. She expressed support for the foregoing proposed resolution. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as amended.

	REPORT: During consideration of today�s (7/17) agenda, Commissioner Jordan stated that while she voted in favor of the foregoing proposed resolution in the Public Safety & Healthcare Administration Committee meeting, she informed members she would probably not continue with that support. She stated, for the record, that she would like to include Jackson Health Services or Children�s Services on any County tax-related straw ballots. Pursuant to Chairman Martinez� suggestion that she present her item for consideration at the August 23, 2012 Special BCC meeting, Commissioner Jordan stated that she would be unable to attend the Special meeting; however, she would prepare and submit the proper documentation for placement on that agenda. Mr. Alex Munoz, Director, Animal Services, advised that language on handwritten page 4 needed to be amended to state �historically 20,000� as opposed to �currently 15,000.� County Attorney Cuevas read, into the record, the following language from the proposed ballot question: ��Would you be in favor of the County Commission increasing the countywide General Fund millage by 0.1079 mills, and applying additional Ad Valorem tax revenues generated thereby to fund improved animal services, including decreasing the killing of adoptable dogs and cats (currently approximately 15,000 annually)�� Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board adopted the foregoing resolution as amended on handwritten page 4, to change the parenthetical language in the first bullet to ��historically approximately 20,000 annually��
