JON SCHMIDT, JIM HALL, PH.D., FATHER PAT O�NEIL, AND REVEREND NATHANIEL WILCOX FOR MARVIN�S CORNER THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY REGARDING HEROIN�S EFFECTS ON OUR COMMUNITY
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Father Patrick O�Neil 941 Biscayne Boulevard Miami, Florida representing Marvin�s Corner Therapeutic Community spoke regarding Heroin�s effects on our communities noted that help was needed to jump start this program. He pointed out his concerns regarding the challenges of substance abuse and noted that Marvin�s Corner was a private effort and asked that the commission support his efforts.
Jim Hall, Epidemiologist, Nova South Eastern University noted that he had spent the last 30 years tracking patterns and trends of substance abuse in Miami-Dade County (MDC). He noted that crack cocaine exploded in the late 1980�s, heroine and prescription opioids epidemic of this decade had been a stealth attack on the community. He pointed out that these drugs had killed 220 residents of Miami-Dade County in 2012 alone. Mr. Hall stated that these grim statistics were a reminder that drug abuse in the 21st century had become more dangerous, more addictive and more deadly than at any other time. He noted that heroine epidemics were breaking out all across the county particularly among young adults between 18-29 years of age who are current or former prescription opioid addicts.
John Schmidt reiterated the points of Mr. Hall and Father O�Neil noting that young and old that were previously using opioids, no longer had a source of opioids, once addicted these people were unable to get help because there were not any detox services available. Mr. Schmidt explained this was not only an epidemic but was rapidly moving towards being a pandemic. Marvin�s Corner was just one answer to this problem. Mr. Schmidt noted that Marvin�s Corner was privately funded; he urged the commission to support their efforts and assist in opening the center more rapidly. Mr. Schmidt expressed his appreciation to all Board members.
Commissioner Edmonson noted that she was working with Marvin�s Corner and they had secured a location however, she noted, the organization had not turned in the requested documentation to move forward.
Deputy Mayor Russell Benford noted that Deputy Mayor Ed Marquez had requested documents as well from the organization, however he was unsure whether the documentation had been submitted or not. Mr. Benford noted that staff would reach out to the organizations staff to schedule a meeting in an effort to obtain all of the documentation needed to move forward.
Commissioner Edmonson asked that she be kept informed regarding the progress of this initiative and asked that thorough due diligence be conducted regarding the organization.

REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE HEARD AS PROVIDED IN RULE 6.06
|
| |
| |
REPORT:
Chairwoman Sosa opened the public hearing to anyone wishing to speak regarding any item on today�s agenda.
Jeanette Smith 14539 SW 142nd circle Miami, FL representative of South Florida Interfaith Worker Justice (SFIWJ) expressed thanks to the commission for their support regarding wage theft, and especially Chairwoman Sosa and Commissioner Heyman who brought forth the resolution on today�s agenda.
Mauricio Bettoli representing Bettoli Vending 6095 NW 167 Street Miami, Florida spoke regarding Agenda Item 8F2 noting that a recommendation had been made based on inaccurate information. Mr. Bettoli stated that the recommendation was manufactured by Gilly Vending. He explained that on July 3rd an Invitation to Bid (ITB) was issued by the Internal Services Department (ISD) for a minimum monthly guarantee for 250 machines or less throughout the county and an additional fee factor by 43 machines. At a previous meeting a vendor asked for a list of machines that dispensed beverages and other types in an effort to better understand the equipment investment. This list of machines came from Gilly Vending and was issued as an addendum by ISD; the list indicated there were 45 machines at the Seaport and 252 machines throughout the county for the month of July 2013, however the bid sheet remained the same reflecting 43 machines at the Seaport and 250 machines throughout the county. Mr. Bettoli noted the corresponding payment for the same month of July 2013 and the payment matched the number of machines on the bid sheet and did not reflect the higher number of machines submitted by Gilly Vending. He explained that Gilly Vending had sent numerous letters to County Staff and the Mayor in an effort to manipulate the award to be calculated under the aforementioned addendum rather than the bid sheet. Falsely inflating the report has consequences; either Gilly Vending paying the county less and the form being defaulted or Gilly mislead with a higher number on the addendum and outweighed their bid by 500% to the viable side. Knowing that after the bid is open they could return, as they did, and use the addendum as plan B, once in practice this inflated viable number does not exist, hence generating much lower fees being paid to the county. Mr. Bettoli pointed out that the Mayor and county staff had been misled by Gilly Vending and requested that the Mayor�s recommendation be changed to award the contract to Bettoli Vending. In closing Mr. Bettoli stated that staff could corroborate his facts and that he had given Board members documents regarding the comments he made.
Marc Hurwitz 1925 NE 213th Terrace spoke regarding Agenda Item 4C. He noted there was strong support in the community, he noted the residents looked forward to having the security cameras installed as a deterrent to crime. In closing Mr. Hororwitz expressed appreciation to Commissioner Heyman for her support.
Jacquelyn Needelman 21322 NE 18th Place spoke regarding Agenda Item 4C. She noted residents were concerned about the security of their community and wished to add security cameras to their guard booths.
Lee Needelman 21322 NE 18th Place spoke regarding Agenda Item 4C. Mr. Needleman urged the BCC to support security cameras within his development.

REPORT:
Commissioner Jordan noted the Community Business Enterprise (CBE) goal was set at 35% and 3.7% was achieved. She inquired when the contract started and the time frame to complete it. She also inquired with the goal set that high there was availability to put the goal there in the first place, why was only 3.7% achieved so far.
Milton Collins, Associate Director for Minority Affairs, Aviation Department explained that this contract started in 2006 with a 35% goal based upon availability. He noted a number of engineering firms were identified to do the work and at first it appeared that all of the firms could be utilized. He noted due to emergencies, the original scope of work they were no longer able to utilize the certified CBE firms that were originally identified for the agreement in 2006.
Carlos Jose, Assistant Director, Aviation Facilities Management and Engineering Department explained that due to a fire at the fuel farm in March of 2011, the contracts available were used to refocus and get the fuel farm back up and running.
Commissioner Jordan noted the contract began in 2006 and the fire was in 2011; she inquired what happened between 2006 and 2011.
Pedro Hernandez, Divisional Director, Aviation Facilities Development Management Department explained that between 2006 and 2010 not much happened with the contracts. In 2006 when the engineering companies (H.J. Ross and Burns & McDonnell) were retained, the department anticipated expanding the tank farm and to build new fuel tanks, however the growth in fuel consumption did not happen. The airlines were able to reduce fuel consumption; consequently there was no need to expand the fuel farms which would have entailed building large fuel tanks, large dike areas which would have incurred other standard heavy construction. He noted the contract remained stagnant, after the fire occurred; the remainder of that contract was used to cover what needed to be replaced. Mr. Hernandez reiterated that between 2006 and 2010 not much happened with this contract in regards to the heavy construction that was expected to occur that would have realized the large CBE Goals. He explained that even today the large fuel tanks were not needed, however in the next 2 to 3 years the demand for fuel was expected to grow to the point that the fuel facility would need to be expanded. Mr. Hernandez noted that by losing all 14 pumps in 2010, specialized work needed to be done which was divided amongst specialized engineers, one was to concentrate on fire protection systems for the tank farms and the other was to concentrated on the hydraulics of the pumps; consequently they were unable to realize the goals for the contract.
Responding to Commissioner Jordan�s inquiry regarding the time frame of the contract and whether or not the CBE goal had been modified during 2006 � 2011, Mr. Hernandez responded that the contract had expired, and the department did not anticipate extending them. He noted the CBE goal on the contract had not been modified. Mr. Hernandez explained that the plan moving forward was to as soon as the master plan for aviation is complete, then we will adjust the fuel master plan, look at the demands for fuel and then come up with a new set of consultants to help us determine when and the size of the pumps needed to be installed into the new facilities.

REPORT:
First Assistant County Attorney Abigail Price-Williams read the foregoing propose ordinance into the record.
Commissioner Moss noted that he was not in support of the foregoing proposed ordinance because from his perspective, he said, the commission needed to ensure that residents were aware when contractors were in their neighborhoods; in an effort to discourage people that had ill intent to take advantage of residents being able to identify contractors was important. There was a need to continue to have identification in place.
Commissioner Diaz noted that although this had become a severe problem, the State Law regarding this issue needed to be addressed and clarified. He pointed out that commercial vehicles needed to have identification markings on the vehicle.
Commissioner Heyman noted that accountability for all commercial vehicles needed to be ensured. She clarified the language within the ordinance regarding vehicle markings and what contractors needed to comply with valid licenses and markings on their commercial vehicles. She pointed out that many commercial vehicles were parked in residential areas, not only for work but because they resided there; several cities had spoken against having these vehicles parked in their neighborhoods, this posed a hardship for working laborers in Miami-Dade County to have a take home vehicle to use for work. This portion of the ordinance was changed for this reason.
Commissioner Jordan noted that she supported the foregoing proposed ordinance at the committee level because she was under the impression that this only removed the name and address of the individual from the commercial vehicle markings. She inquired about the intent of the ordinance and asked for clarification.
Assistant County Attorney Thomas Robertson explained that this ordinance changes so that the address of the individual is no longer necessary, a permanent sign is no longer required, magnetic signs are acceptable, business license are no longer required to be printed on the vehicles. He further explained that any entity that operates in more than one locality has to have a business license for each locality. The way the ordinance was currently written, an individual would have to have 30 business licenses in 3 inch letters covering the entire vehicle.
Commissioner Jordan expressed concern regarding contractors using fraudulent magnetic signs, simply taking one sign off and putting another one on with different information. She pointed out that she was in support of the ordinance if the ordinance could be amended to have the information was permanently printed on the commercial vehicles. Commissioner Jordan noted that leaving out this portion of the ordinance was opening the door for fraudulent activity.
Responding to Commissioner Jordan�s concerns, Commissioner Bovo noted that he understood her concerns; however contractors were still required by law to have their license number permanently affixed to the vehicle.
Commissioner Jordan noted if contractors still had to have the contractor license number affixed permanently and this ordinance was changed to allow them to take their vehicles into communities she did not understand why this was being done.
Assistant County Attorney Robertson responded to Commissioner Jordan�s comments noting that this did not apply to contractors but applied to delivery people using trucks, food trucks and delivery trucks; it did not apply to a contractor who is required to have a contractor�s license; he noted this did not apply to plumbers, electricians and general contractors.
Commissioner Moss inquired why would there be a need to remove the address from commercial vehicles.
Commissioner Bovo responded to Commissioner Moss� inquiry noting that the address did not lend to the safety issue regarding the consumer. He noted this issue came to him because he had received complaints from individuals receiving citations from Highway Patrolmen or Police due to the confusion between State Law and Local Laws. He noted the drivers were complaining that operating a vehicle in multiple cities all the different listings became a burden. Commissioner Bovo noted the intent of the ordinance was to maintain safety and to make this less burdensome on the person with the commercial vehicle.

REPORT:
The foregoing resolution was amended to request that Mayor Gimenez provide his recommendations at the May 6, 2014 BCC meeting regarding waiving the bid process.
It was moved by Commissoner Bovo that the foregoing proposed resolution be adopted as amended. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Edmonson and upon being put to a vote, passed 13-0.
Commissioner Edmonson expressed concern regarding the protests of the foregoing proposed resolution. She noted that it appeared that when bids had a high value, a large number of protests against the bid were brought forward; she expressed further concern regarding the procurement process not going the way it should. Commissioner Edmonson referred to an incident where undertones of a threat were made by an employee of the Inspector General�s (IG) office at a meeting held in October and she asked staff to allow the Commission to listen to the recording. She noted that she kept hearing conflicting stories regarding what transpired at the meeting and preferred to allow everyone hear the recording of that meeting.
County Attorney Cuevas noted that this item was before the Board after being reviewed by the Citizen�s Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) and by a hearing examiner upon bid protest. The CITT approved a recommendation for award; the hearing examiner approved the Mayor�s recommendation. Mr. Cuevas stated that given the ordinances that apply it would take a vote of 9 members of the Board to do other than reward to the recommended firm with the exception of rejection of all bids, the Board may reject all bids by a majority vote.
Commissioner Edmonson noted that prior to making a final decision regarding the recommendation; she felt the Commission needed to listen to the recording.
Chairwoman Sosa opened the floor to speakers regarding the foregoing resolution and noted that each speaker had 5 minutes to speak.
Al Dotson Jr., Attorney representing G4S Secure Solutions USA Inc., 1450 Brickell Avenue noted that prior to listening to the recording he wanted to clarify that sometimes hearing officers were incorrect and the reason the commission made a final decision was because the CITT recommendations. Mr. Dotson stated this was about what the Commission had not been told; the CITT could not support the Mayor�s recommendation the first time, after coming to the CITT a second time, the item was not unanimously approved. Mr. Dotson noted that the Board would hear why the item was not approved today. He pointed out that in the recommendation no record existed of what took place on October 1st when the Negotiations Committee unanimously voted for G4S. Mr. Dotson pointed out that should have been the end of the process; Although the process was done because the County Attorney had sent letters to the companies AlliedBarton Security Services L.L.C. and 50 State Security Service Inc., called G4S back again, under the premise that during the October 1st hearing the entire price for 4 years was not considered. Mr. Dotson noted that the commission had also been not been told that after the October 1st meeting a memorandum was issued by the contracting officer which explicitly stated that the 4 year price was considered on October 1st. Going forward to October 24th everyone unanimously agreed to G4S, until the Inspector General improperly interjected. Mr. Dotson played an excerpt of the recording from the meeting held on October 1st.
After listening to the recording, Chairwoman Sosa asked the representative of 50 State Security Service Inc. to come forward.
Brian May 235 Catalonia Avenue, Coral Gables, representing 50 State Security Service, Inc. noted that 50 State Security was the current security service for Transit services. Mr. May criticized the procurement process and pointed out that the issue that the G4S representative brought up only pertained to the best and final offer process and the contract negotiation process with a separate committee from the original evaluation committee. Mr. May pointed out that this was the worst procurement process he had ever witnessed. He noted that 50 State Security held its contract with the County for four and a half years and had performed very well, however despite having the best price by far, 50 State Security was not invited to the best and final offer contract negotiation process. Mr. May explained that 11 companies responded to the Request for Proposal (RFP) and the evaluation committee narrowed that to 3 companies, 50 State, Allied Barton and G4S. He explained the evaluation process and noted upon tallying up the total scores of each company they never tallied up the total annual costs of the contracts for each of the firms nor were the four year cost of the contracts. Mr. May noted that after being short listed to finalist, 50 State Security was $6 million less than the next closest competitor and $8 million dollars less than the next. He pointed out that 50 State Security received a score of 200 out of 300 and gave the other two companies scores of 300 although their prices were much higher than 50 State Security. Mr. May noted that this error in the evaluation process lead the evaluation committee to put forth erroneous scores that excluded 50 State Security from the best and final offer and contract negotiation process. The proper thing for the Board to do was to throw this process out, not put out another RFP, waive all bids and let all three firms submit their best price.
Richard Mullan , Vice President/General Manager, Allied Barton 7300 Corporate Center Drive Suite 400, Miami, Florida noted that Allied Barton was ranked the best contractor both in competency and the capacity to provide quality public safety for the transit system. Allied Barton was the largest United States security company with over 65,000 employees and last year in Florida Allied Barton employed 580 returning Veterans. Mr. Mullan noted that 40% of the workforce was African American and 53% was Hispanic. He also noted that Allied Barton had existing experience with Miami-Dade County through Aviation, General Services Administration, Water and Sewer Department and the Juvenile Assessment Center as well. They have consistently demonstrated their high quality of service, and by being scored highly by the county�s expert evaluation team.
Allen Rubin 6225 Marlin Drive Coral Gables, Representative of Allied Barton Florida noted that there were five processes to get to this point, therefore it took time to make a decision. He stated the arguments made by Mr. Dotson and Mr. May were provided by an impartial judge, there was no interference by an Inspector General, nor was there an improper process. Mr. Rubin noted that prior to the October meeting there was a written score on the record and that after reviewing the evaluation scores he discovered that 5 of the 7 evaluators had voted in favor of Allied Barton. He pointed out that the figures were listed in the Board�s agenda package and Allied Barton was $2 million cheaper and their technology was better than other competitors. Mr. Rubin noted the when staff put out the RFP the not only wanted the best price they wanted the best technology. Mr. Rubin showed a chart that depicted the saving monthly, yearly and a daily basis.
Responding to Chairwoman Sosa�s suggestion and inquiry regarding whether the Board could reject the recommendation and put out a new bid, County Attorney Cuevas explained that all bids could be rejected, however a bid waiver would require a written recommendation from the Mayor as a prerequisite and a 2/3rd vote of the Board; or the procurement process would have to start over again.
Chairwoman Sosa asked how many Board members were willing to reject all bids today, and then the Board could deal with the bid waiver.
County Attorney Cuevas clarified that in order to have a bid waiver, after rejecting all bids, a written recommendation was needed from the Mayor, and the Board did not have that currently. He further explained that the Board could request the Mayor to consider whether he would, given the situation, come back with a written recommendation for a bid waiver at the next meeting.
Because the procurement process in this matter was not clear, Chairwoman Sosa asked for County Attorney Cuevas� guidance on how to proceed to clear up this situation.
County Attorney Cuevas reiterated that the Board could reject all of the bids.
Commissioner Edmonson made a motion to reject all bids; this motion was seconded by Commissioner Diaz for discussion purposes.
Commissioner Moss pointed out that he was not in favor of rejecting all bids at this time because he wanted to hear the administration staff�s response regarding the procurement process in this matter, as all three proposers had given a compelling argument.
Deputy Mayor Alina Hudak asked Lester Sola, Director of Internal Services to describe the procurement process.
Mr. Sola came forward to explain the process that was followed to secure the services of security guard services for transit. He noted this process had been used by the County for all types of services for many years; this process was found under administrative orders, and governed by the guidelines and principles that the Procurement Management staff followed on a daily basis. Mr. Sola explained that the purpose of an RFP was to secure the services of a company to provide a service at the best value, not necessarily the lowest price. After the process, which included pre-oral scoring and best and final process, the firm with the lowest price and the highest qualified was chosen; overall this firm yielded a $10 million savings over the life of the contract. Mr. Sola noted that of the 11 firms that submitted proposals only 3 firms were invited to oral presentations based on whether they met an 80% threshold. Those firms that scored 80% or more were invited to the oral presentations, where these firms were ranked again and the prices were opened to allow the committees to rank the value of that price; some committee members ranked the higher priced firms higher than the current service provider that had the lowest price, however this was all a part of the process. Once the evaluations were completed and the Mayor agreed to us conducting the best and final offer process, staff negotiated the prices of the highest ranked firm, which happened to have the highest price, but lower than the third ranked firm. Mr. Sola noted what was before the Board today was a recommendation from the Mayor to precede with the number one ranked firm at a best and final offer price that was lower than the lowest price offered on the day of the presentations. With regards to the comments made by the Inspector General Representative, he noted that he unhappy and disagreed with the comments; however it was also clear that the Inspector General has authority and free will to make those comments. Mr. Sola pointed out that although the comments were made, all committee members were asked during the process, before the bid protest and after the bid protest if they were influenced by the comments, the all responded that they were not influenced by the comments and felt comfortable with their rankings. He noted that the department stood behind the recommendations, however if the Board wished for staff to engage in a third best and final offer process he would move forward with the process.
Following further discussion between regarding the recommendation and whether or not to reject all bids and conduct a new best and final offer process, it was moved by Commissioner Bovo to bring the item back for final vote during the first BCC meeting in May; this motion was seconded by Commissioner Edmonson and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 13-0.
The amended version of this resolution was assigned Resolution No. R-273-14.
SPECIAL NOTE: The Board rejected all bids proposals for RFP864, Security Guard Services for Miami-Dade Transit (MDT), and directed the Mayor to bring back to the Board on April 8, 2014, his recommendation on the advisability of a bid waiver.

REPORT:
Commissioner Edmonson noted that it had already been established that if this contract needed to have any further extensions, it would have to be Board approved. She pointed out an extension had been granted to December, however in September, the administration had extended the contract without Board approval. She expressed concern that although the Mayor had stated that once contracts expired there would not be any further extensions regardless of the circumstances; however, the same exact contract was before the Board requesting an extension.
Lester Sola, Director, Internal Services Department explained that Commissioner Edmonson was correct. The Administration was given six months to conduct a new solicitation, because the original recommendation was to do a bid waiver and continue with an amendment; the Board rejected that and directed staff to do a solicitation, bid openings were complete in July. He explained the intent was to award to the firm that would give the County the highest revenue, once the department begin to receive letters from the current vendor, the County Attorney�s office pointed out that staff had possibly created confusion and misinterpretation. Upon continued discussion regarding the matter, finalizing negotiations were in the works and taking an abundance of caution to treat everyone fairly, staff decided to re-advertise in a short concise time period to keep all bids constant.
Commissioner Edmonson expressed her concern noting that it appeared that staff was intentionally continuing to extend the process on a month to month basis in an effort to keep that particular vendor in place. She pointed out that although Mr. Sola gave the same explanation the last time, a year later staff was back before the Board with another extension.
Addressing Commissioner Edmonson�s comments, Mr. Sola noted that he and staff had done everything possible to expedite this process and they were in fact headed in the direction to award the contract to a different firm. He explained that after dealing with having to waive bid procedures to put this before the Board we believed that was not a sound recommendation.
Commissioner Edmonson noted that staff was creating the conflict by continuing to operate in this manner and extending contracts costs the County more money.
Commissioner Barreiro noted that he would support a bid waiver. He asked the Administration to reconsider the issue and come back with a recommendation.
Deputy Mayor Ed Marquez noted he agreed that the RFP process had caused confusion.
Mr. Sola noted that going forward, in an effort to avoid confusion, a revised price and structure sheet will be issued that will address any and all confusion.
Commissioner Jordan noted that she was in support of the recommendation; however she was concerned with the procurement process. She pointed out that when the initial calculation of one year as opposed to four years was done, this was faulty and should have been caught in procurement through the review process. Commissioner Jordan noted that she wanted the Mayor to conduct a review of the procurement process to avoid confusion and simple mistakes.
Commissioner Heyman expressed concern regarding extending this contract. She inquired about whether the fees the vendor owed the County had been resolved.
Responding to Commissioner Heyman�s inquiry, Mr. Sola noted that he was unaware of any fees due to the County from the current vendor.
Commissioner Heyman pointed out that in the summary results report showed that fees in the amount of $2,211, $6,818 and $2,328 were still due. She inquired whether these fees had been resolved and explained that there is a rule in place that stated that a company that owed the County fees were not able to engage in business with the County until those fees are paid.
Mr. Sola noted that he could not verify whether those amounts were still outstanding, but he would get staff to find out. He explained that as part of any recommendation for award they would have to conduct due diligence, checking all accounts to make sure that all accounts were paid up to date.
Mr. Alex Heckler, Representative of Bettoli Vending, 801 41st Street Miami Beach Florida explained the bid process. Following the bid he noted an addendum was issued, which Bettoli believed changed the number of machines, and Bettoli thought they won the bid, due to various correspondence with the County they negotiated with Bettoli and noted the County Attorney�s staff said there would be a bid waiver. Mr. Heckler stated that subsequently the department decided the bid waiver was not fair moving forward. Bettoli filed a bid protest and the judge denied the bid protest stating that the County had the right to reject all bids and continue month to month with Gilly Vending and have a fair process. Due to ambiguities within the procurement document Bettoli thought they won, as did Gilly Vending. Mr. Heckler noted that Gilly Vending was owned by a woman and a minority business based in Miami-Dade County, this was a large contract for them and he was in support of Gilly Vending.

REPORT:
Commissioner Moss noted that the State of Florida had 10 expressway authorities; all of which operated under the same State Statutes except the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX); MDX had to adhere to the Community Development Master Plan (CDMP) and Commissioner Moss noted that he believed MDX was the only expressway authority that did not receive State Grant Money or State Gas Tax funds. MDX depended exclusively upon tolls. The tolls today were in line with the tolls that were being charged by other expressway authorities in the country; however other expressway authorities received funds from collecting toll, gas tax revenue and state grant funds. Commissioner Moss noted that upon having a professional review of the expressway authorities on behalf of the State Legislature, MDX was found to be efficient, to have one of the lowest costs per transaction, the lowest operating costs and was highly rated in terms of projects coming in on time and on budget. This had a tremendous impact on creating jobs and an economic impact in the community. Commissioner Moss pointed out that we could not have the MDX dismantled. He noted that the County needed to fight and advocate receiving gas tax revenue and state grants to assist the MDX.
Ari Rodriguez, Executive Director, MDX gave a Power Point Presentation regarding the history and operations of MDX. Mr. Rodriguez pointed that MDX did not receive any of the half penny tax.
Responding to Commissioner Bovo�s inquiry regarding whether the Dade Delegation had any involvement, Mr. Rodriguez noted that although his staff had provided a formal presentation to the Dade Delegation they had not currently taken any position regarding MDX.
Commissioner Zapata noted that he was not in support of the foregoing proposed resolution. He noted some of the provisions were detrimental and discussions needed to take place to figure out ways to enhance the fairness of the system so that the system works for everyone.
Commissioner Moss noted that he brought this issue forward due to the last MPO meeting where the board was asked not to take a position and allow MDX to take a position first. He pointed out that the Turnpike and FDOT relied on tolls as well; he stated he was not being critical of these entities and that MDX was not different from these entities therefore they should also receive state grants and other funds as well.

REPORT:
Commissioner Suarez noted that the nominee�s listed were unfamiliar and suggested a deferral of the foregoing proposed resolution.
Commissioner Jordan noted that she wanted staff or someone from the Children�s Trust to clarify whether there was any timeline regarding getting the nominees� names to the Governor.
Chairwoman Sosa expressed her concern regarding not being familiar with the nominees as well. She pointed out usually the nominees came and shared their interests and why they wanted to serve on the Children�s Trust Board.
Commissioner Zapata concurred with Commissioner Diaz and Chairwoman Sosa�s comments regarding not being familiar with the nominees. He noted that he was appointed to serve on the Children�s Trust Board and he was concerned about the number of board members that had conflicts of interest; he explained that each time funds are being allocated a large number of the members have conflicts of interest and cannot vote. Commissioner Zapata noted that it was important, prior to submitting the names of nominees, to find out whether they have potential conflicts of interest.
Chairwoman Sosa asked Assistant County Attorney Michael Mastrucci to draft legislation that allowed the names submitted as nominees go through a background check to find out if they have any conflicts of interest with the board.
Commissioner Edmonson noted that she agreed with the deferral.
Commissioner Edmonson pointed out that each commissioner had received each nominees resume; she noted that she felt that the commission should make their choice by reviewing the resumes which indicated all of the nominees� qualifications.
Commissioner Jordan concurred with Commissioner Edmonson, noting that she could not recall ever meeting any candidates of boards. She pointed out that currently a selection process was in place and it should be followed, that is why the nominees provided their resumes. She explained that many of the nominees did not have any conflicts of interests when they were appointed initially, however become conflicted during their terms on the Board.
