Chairwoman Sosa noted she was informed that there were members of the public in the Lobby who were not able to speak during Item 1G, reasonable opportunity for the public to be heard; and on the public hearing items, due to lack of space in the Commission Chambers. She noted she would allow anyone who wanted to speak on any of the items, including the public hearing, to address the Board.

There being no persons wishing to appear, the Board proceeded to vote on the motion to recess the County Commission meeting, and convened as the Committee of the Whole.

Following the Committee of the Whole meeting, the Board by motion duly made, seconded and carried, reconvened as the Board of County Commissioners at 3:38 p.m., and proceeded to consider Items 8G1, 8G2, 8G3, 8G4, 8G5, 8G6 and 8G7 simultaneoulsy.

Commissioner Heyman stated for the record, that when she flew in, it was after 11:30 a.m. She noted she was watching the proceedings when Chairwoman Sosa opened the public hearing; and was aware of both Chairwoman Sosa�s statements and Mayor Gimenez� presentation; and was therefore eligible to vote.

Commissioner Suarez indicated that he would only be addressing the Library millage rate. He noted he was aware of how important the libraries were to the community, and pointed out the Library millage rate had been reduced to an insupportable level. Commissioner Suarez referred to an article in the Miami Daily Business review, written by City of Miami Commissioner Suarez, in which he urged the Board to support full funding of the Library system at $64 million.

  RESOLUTION SETTING THE PROPOSED FY 2014-15 COUNTYWIDE OPERATING MILLAGE RATE(Office of Management and Budget) Adopted
Resolution R-659-14
Mover: Esteban L. Bovo, Jr.
Seconder: Sally A. Heyman
Vote: 8 - 5
No: Jordan , Monestime , Edmonson , Moss , Diaz
  REPORT: Commissioner Moss directed questions to Mayor Gimenez regarding the proposed FY 2014-15 budget and the proposals to redesign the employees� health care plan; and proposed reduction of employee positions in the police, library, and park maintenance areas.

In response to questions from Commissioner Moss, Mayor Gimenez commented on the proposed redesigned health care plan. He said a recommendation would be forthcoming from the Healthcare Committee to add an additional health plan that would utilize Jackson, Baptist and Memorial hospital network; would include 70 percent of the current providers that were in the existing plans; and provide for zero premiums for individual employees; and lower premiums for dependent care. Mayor Gimenez noted the Administration believed that many employees would select the third option; and with the utilization of those employees at a much lower negotiated rate, a 15 percent reduction in healthcare costs could be achieved. He said the plan could be implemented fairly quickly; however, it must be negotiated with the County�s labor partners. Mayor Gimenez explained that based on the outcome of these negotiations, employees could make their selections through the regular enrolment period, and the plan would become effective January 1, 2015.

Mayor Gimenez said the General Fund was the main driver of the Police Department, and all positions in this department could be restored if the Board increased taxes to generate those funds. He also noted most of the cuts in the Corrections Department; and the Parks Department, including fee increases, could be averted. Mayor Gimenez pointed out if the Board were to increase taxes, library positions could be maintained by increasing the millage in order to pay for librarians� salaries and benefits; and maintenance cycles could be maintained by increasing the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA) millage.

Mayor Gimenez explained that the existing union concessions across-the-board benefitted the taxing jurisdictions, and the proprietary departments. He said the 15 percent reduction in healthcare was also across-the board. Mayor Gimenez noted if the Board maintained a flat tax rate and the concessions were not included, this would result in the layoff of lower tenured, least senior, lower paid employees. Conversely, if the concessions were continued and a 15 percent reduction in healthcare cost was achieved; the Board would not have to increase taxes, libraries could remain open, police positions would be maintained, the transit fare increases would be eliminated, maintenance cycles could be increased, special transportation service (STS) fares could be maintained, and community based organizations (CBOs) could be added back.

Following questions to Assistant County Attorney William Candela regarding the concessions that were scheduled to snap back October 1st, Commissioner Moss requested an opportunity to put on the floor the ability to determine if there was any support for raising revenue.

Commissioner Edmonson commented on the proposed reductions in the Countywide General Fund for Parks, Police, Corrections and CBOs; and the shift in the Countywide operating millage rate and the Fire Rescue millage rate to the Library District.

Mayor Gimenez said that under his proposed worst-case scenario budget, the Fire Department�s millage had funds to maintain all firefighters, stations and units; and also set aside funds to maintain those units and services upon expiration of the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) grant. He explained why the millage was moved from Countywide to libraries and noted all millages were sustainable for the next five years. Mayor Gimenez said if the concessions were not continued, there would be a balanced budget for the next five years, with fewer employees. He noted if employees returned the snap backs, those funds would go into different funds across-the-board except Fire, as the Fire Department did not have the snap back provisions. Mayor Gimenez pointed out the Library District, Countywide General Funds, UMSA, and some proprietary funds would receive additional funds.

Commissioner Edmonson noted she would not support cuts to library services, and asked Commissioner Bovo to consider the libraries when he made his motion.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Jordan and Mayor Gimenez regarding layoffs, in which Mayor Gimenez said that under his proposed best-case scenario budget, layoffs would be reduced by 75 percent; all police officers would remain on the job; many of the cuts that would have impacted the General Fund would be averted; and all libraries would remain open for the same number of hours. He noted the Administration continuously pursued efforts to reduce the County�s costs, and pointed out the initial deficit was $200 million, and the $64 million deficit was related to direct services industry. Mayor Gimenez advised that 50 library positions were currently vacant; ten library employees would be laid off under the best-case scenario; and 40 would be laid off under the worst-case scenario.

Commissioner Jordan expressed concern that the Administration was still pursuing layoffs, and asked for the number of employees who would be laid off by departments.

Ms. Jennifer Moon, Budget Director, Office of Management and Budget, said she could not state how many employees would be laid off as of October 1, 2014, as she could not project the number of employees who would leave the County. She noted 14 positions were being eliminated in Community Action and Human Services related to the Treatment Alternative to Street Crime (TASC) Program, and the outpatient counselling services; however, she could not state how many of those positions were filled. Ms. Moon mentioned that tomorrow (7/16) was the deadline for the departments to submit their tables of organization with the filled positions that would have to be eliminated, in order for the layoff process to begin. She indicated that the 125 employees to be laid off would not include these 14 positions, as these were direct service positions.

Commissioner Jordan was informed that the TASC Program was the non-residential drug treatment program through the Drug Court.

In response to Commissioner Jordan�s inquiry as to why the Country Club of Miami Golf Course was being paid for through a Special Taxing District, Assistant County Attorney Monica Rizo advised that preliminary information indicated that the Special Taxing District had expired. She noted it appeared from the restrictive covenant, that as long as the golf course was maintained as open green space and used for other ancillary related recreational uses, along with the portion that would be used as a golf course, it was legally permissible. Assistant County Attorney Rizo advised that staff was still undertaking a title search of the property to ensure there were no other restrictions on the property that would impose additional requirements on the County, vis-�-vis the golf course and the surrounding communities.

Following her comments regarding the closing of the Country Club of Miami Golf Course, Commissioner Jordan asked that the Property Appraiser or Tax Collector provide her with a report on the impact closing the Golf Course would have on the property values of homes surrounding the Golf Course.

Commissioner Jordan commented on the need for roof and air conditioning repairs for libraries, which could have been addressed through preventive maintenance. She also commented on obsolete computers in the libraries which needed to be replaced. Commissioner Jordan urged the Board to restore libraries to their previous status.

Pursuant to Commissioner Jordan�s request, Mr. Raymond Santiago, Library Director, explained the Library�s U-Media Program, a technology program which taught young people to utilize media in different ways. He noted a major portion involved the mentoring component.

Mayor Gimenez noted the U-Media Program would not be affected by the proposed budget.

Commissioner Diaz noted his main concern was to identify ways in which to fully fund public safety. He commented on the importance of maintaining the Police Department�s Midwest District Station; and expressed concern regarding the Fire Department�s SAFER grant.

In response to Commissioner Diaz� concern, Mayor Gimenez noted the proposed millage would keep all fire stations open; all firefighters employed and would create a reserve which could be used to offset the SAFER grant once the grant expired.

Concerning Commissioner Diaz� question as to whether the $6 million regarding the Value Adjustment Board (VAB) was addressed, Ms. Moon said staff was still waiting to obtain the final determination; however, by having the reserves in place, staff could address any VAB losses this year.

Pursuant to Commissioner Diaz�s request, Assistant County Attorney William Candela explained the negotiation process between the Administration and the unions relating to the labor agreements. He noted the existing collective bargaining agreement was scheduled to expire on October 1, 2014, but would continue until a new agreement was reached.

Commissioner Diaz thanked Mayor Gimenez for continuing funding to the Animal Services Department for implementation of the no-kill shelter program.

Chairwoman Sosa extended a point of personal privilege to Commissioner Bovo who suggested that the remainder of today�s (7/15) agenda items be deferred to Thursday, July 17, 2015; with the exception of the millage rate items.

Following a brief discussion, it was moved by Commissioner Bovo that the remainder of today�s agenda be carried over to Thursday, July 17, 2014, with the exception of agenda items 8G1 through 8G7 Supplement. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Jordan, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 13-0.

Commissioner Barreiro said the Board was setting the millage rates ceiling and additional discussion would occur between now and September when the final millages would be approved. He suggested that efficiencies be identified in order to maintain adequate levels of services. Commissioner Barreiro noted he believed the correct staffing levels existed in the Library System and would not support additional personnel cuts; and supported an increased millage rate of 0.34. Commissioner Barreiro also spoke in support of maintaining the current millage rate, and making the necessary adjustments.

Commissioner Heyman noted her concerns under the best-case and worst-case scenarios of the Mayor�s proposed budget as it related to setting the millage. She inquired, and Mayor Gimenez clarified, that a �snap back� was the end of the concessions. Commissioner Heyman suggested that as negotiations proceeded, the cost and consequence to the concessions be listed, to which Mayor Gimenez responded that negotiations between the Administration and the unions, from now until September 2014, would be a product of the Board�s actions today.

Commissioner Heyman suggested the workforce reductions be categorized; noted her support for unfilled vacancies provided that services were not affected; and eliminated positions which resulted in efficiencies.

In response to further questions from Commissioner Heyman, Mayor Gimenez noted a reduction in the hours of operation for 311, under the best-case and worst-case scenarios. He noted cuts would be averted to community based organizations (CBOs) under the best-case scenario, otherwise, a ten percent reduction would occur; 0.50 cent increase in Special Transportation Service (STS) fares, under the worst-case scenario, and zero under the best-case scenario; 0.25 cents increase in transit fares, under the worst-case scenario and zero under the best-case scenario.

Commissioner Heyman noted the proposed transit fare increases should not be to individual bus riders, decreased routes, or STS riders; and indicated her support for a Metromover fare if a determination of ridership to rates was made.

Mayor Gimenez noted the Transit Director indicated that if a fare was charged for the Metromover, the County would receive $780,000 in revenue, with a $14 million shortfall.

Mayor Gimenez responded to Commissioner Heyman�s inquiry regarding proposed reductions to police personnel. He said under the worst-case scenario, training for 50 police officers would be eliminated; no units would be disbanded although a number of personnel from individual units may be redeployed; and some administrative positions had been eliminated, resulting in 230 fewer police officers in the Police Department. Mayor Gimenez noted specialized units would have fewer personnel; however, the number of patrol officers would remain the same. He noted under the best-case scenario, no police officers would lose their jobs, and the 50 police officers in the Academy would augment the current force.

Commissioner Heyman commented on Boot Camp�s successful rehabilitation of young adults following Mayor Gimenez� comment that under the worst-case scenario, Boot Camp would be eliminated and the Corrections officers could be redeployed.

Referring to the Fire Department, Mayor Gimenez noted the Administration was seeking to place boats in service under a cross-utilization method, if the unions agreed.

Commissioner Heyman spoke in support of the Library District operating millage rate being restored to 0.2840 mills.

Commissioner Zapata explained his reason for overriding the Mayor�s veto, and emphasized the need to establish a sustainable budget that would be fair over time to the employees, the County and the taxpayers. He commended Mayor Gimenez for his efforts in trying to right size the budget. Commissioner Zapata noted he believed the action regarding the Fire Department was necessary, as they were still receiving additional dollars. He suggested the focus be on transforming libraries into community centers; developing a plan to align libraries with schools; a potential partnership with the Children�s Trust; and providing more County services at libraries. Commissioner Zapata said he would be supporting the Mayor�s proposed millage rates.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Monestime and Mayor Gimenez regarding the proposed budget.

In response to Commissioner Monestime�s inquiry regarding the proposed STS fare increase, Ms. Moon explained the original proposed budget book indicated an increase to $5.00; however, the Mayor had directed staff to identify a way of maintaining that increase to $4.00; thereby resulting in a 0.50 cent increase instead of $1.50.

Commissioner Monestime said that in order to have a first-class workforce, employees must receive first-class pay, and first-class healthcare; and expressed concerns that a cost of living increase was not being entertained. He also expressed concern regarding the proposed reduction of police officers; and the proposed increase in Transit fares, noting this would result in less ridership and less buses. Commissioner Monestime emphasized the need to identify how additional revenue could be generated.

Following his comments on the proposed budget, Commissioner Souto expressed concern regarding the proposed closure of the Miami-Dade Police Department�s Midwest District Station. He asked that the Administration provide him with a report, within the next month, on the number of square miles served by the Midwest Station, the crime statistics of the areas served, and the number of people being served. Commissioner Souto also expressed concern regarding the condition of the libraries and stressed the need for air conditioning and roof repairs. He commented that he believed the State should assist the County with obtaining more funding from tourism.

Following questions to Mayor Gimenez regarding the proposed budget, Chairwoman Sosa said that she could not support the proposed fare increase for STS; and expressed concern regarding closure of the Miami-Dade Police Department�s Midwest District Station which served Districts 10, 12, 6 and portions of District 7. She asked that the Administration determine the distance between the different Police district stations and the areas they served; the proximity between stations; and the unincorporated areas served by these stations. Chairwoman Sosa suggested the Administration revisit the use of tourist taxes to determine the flexibility of utilizing these funds to address this issue.

Chairwoman Sosa asked the Administration to negotiate better rates and a flat rate with hospitals to lower the self-insured portion of the healthcare costs; and to also negotiate with different health insurance entities to lower costs.

Chairwoman Sosa asked Mayor Gimenez to provide the Board members with a memorandum whenever community based organizations were defunded and an explanation outlining why they were defunded.

In response to Chairwoman Sosa�s inquiry regarding the proposed millage to be redirected from the Fire Department to the libraries, Mayor Gimenez explained the shift in millages that occurred in FY 2011-12 to fully fund the Fire Service.

Chairwoman Sosa commented on the importance of the Anti-Venom Unit, and Mayor Gimenez noted the Fire Department was not impacted by the proposed budget, and was funded for next year.

Vice-Chair Bell noted her desire for the Library budget to be reimbursed and made completely whole; and recommended that this budget not be raided in the future. She spoke in opposition to cutting the Boot Camp Program, and increasing STS fares. Vice-Chair Bell explained that this was her rationale for voting against returning the five percent healthcare contribution to employees six months ago to prevent any layoffs, and compromising public safety. She commented on the pay supplements, some of which she noted were egregious.

In response to Vice-Chair Bell�s inquiry as to how the proposed Library budget of $64 million originated, Mr. Raymond Santiago, Library Director, said this amount was recommended by library advocates as the amount needed to provide full funding for the Miami-Dade Public Library System.

Mayor Gimenez pointed out the $64 million represented a 28 percent increase in the current Library budget of $50 million.

Vice-Chair Bell asked about a potential partnership with the Children�s Trust to assist in funding some of the Library programs, to which Mr. Santiago responded that some challenges had occurred with some of the organizations. He noted the department was looking at public/private partnerships.

Vice-Chair Bell thanked Mayor Gimenez for providing funding for the Animal Services Department. She commented on the importance of public safety and noted the concessions were necessary to prevent layoffs. Vice-Chair Bell said she would support the proposed increased funding for the Library.

County Attorney Robert Cuevas responded to Commissioner Jordan�s inquiry as to whether the Mayor had the authority to deviate from his proposed best-case scenario budget once it was adopted by the Board, and no agreement was reached with the unions. He advised that if the Board adopted the final millage on September 18, 2014, and an agreement was not in place on October 1, 2014, the Mayor must operate within the Board�s approved budget. County Attorney Cuevas noted the Mayor would take appropriate action to expend his expenditures accordingly.

Commissioner Jordan noted she wanted everyone to be aware of this possibility and its impact.

It was moved by Commissioner Edmonson that the Board continue today�s (7/15) meeting for an additional hour. This motion was seconded by Chairwoman Sosa, and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 13-0.

Commissioner Moss expressed concern regarding the transfer of full-time park employees to part-time employees. He noted in order to have good employees, it was necessary to have full-time employees who were vested and who considered the Parks Department as a career.

In response to Commissioner Edmonson�s inquiry as to whether the scrap metal ordinance would be enforced under the proposed budget�s best-case scenario, Mr. Juan Perez, Deputy Director, Miami-Dade Police Department, noted the department�s stolen property units would not be impacted by the proposed budget.

Concerning Commissioner Edmonson�s inquiry regarding implementation of the Disparity Study findings under the proposed budget�s best-case scenario, Mayor Gimenez responded that the findings were being reviewed by the County Attorney�s Office, and the Administration would accommodate the study�s outcome.

Commissioner Bovo directed questions to Mayor Gimenez regarding the $3 million that would be moved from the Fire District to the Library District; and the status of the Value Adjustment Board (VAB). He commented on the budget process once the budget was presented by the Mayor. Commissioner Bovo said he believed that the Board must have a serious discussion regarding CBOs, as a lot of duplication in services existed. He noted the Board was aware of the funding priorities and the obligations that must be met.

In response to Commissioner Bovo�s questions, Mayor Gimenez said an additional $3 million would not be moved next year as the millage that was moved this year would remain the same next year. He noted there would be no additional movement from the Fire Department or the General Fund. Regarding the VAB, Mayor Gimenez said Administration had reviewed the VAB�s adjustments in Miami-Dade County for the past four years, and was working with the County�s Internal Auditor. He noted he would be meeting with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools� Superintendent to discuss the County�s property tax rebate and the VAB process.

In response to Chairwoman Sosa�s inquiry as to whether the Board would be approving additional funding that was allocated to the Perez Art Museum by its actions today, County Attorney Cuevas said the Board was only setting the proposed millage rates.

Following discussion, the Board by motion duly made, seconded and carried, voted to adopt the Countywide Operating millage rate of 4.6669 mills for the proposed 2014-15 Budget.

  REPORT: It was moved by Commissioner Suarez that the Board approve a Library District millage rate of 0.3419 for the proposed FY 2014-15 Budget. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Jordan, and upon being put to a vote, failed by a vote of 5-8 (Commissioners Barreiro, Jordan, Monestime, Moss and Suarez voted �yes�; Commissioners Zapata, Bovo, Diaz, Edmonson, Heyman, Souto, Vice-Chair Bell and Chairwoman Sosa voted �no�).

It was moved by Commissioner Heyman that the foregoing proposed resolution be amended to restore the Library District operating millage rate to the FY 2010-11 rate of 0.2840. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Monestime.

Mr. Raymond Santiago, Library Director, noted the millage rate of 0.2840 would generate approximately $52 million for the Library District.

Discussion ensued among the Board members and Mayor Gimenez on the foregoing motion.

Mayor Gimenez noted if the Board maintained a flat millage rate for UMSA, and approved Commissioner Heyman�s motion, there would be a slight increase in the overall property taxes. He noted his assumptions that there would be no layoffs and that additional money would be available for more library materials.

Regarding the roof and air conditioning repairs for libraries, Mr. Santiago noted it would be an enhancement to budgeted funds to continue repairs and to enhance the Library�s materials budget.

Upon conclusion of foregoing discussion, the Board proceeded to vote on the motion that the foregoing proposed resolution be amended to restore the Library District operating millage rate to the FY 2010-11 rate of 0.2840.
