REPORT:
First Assistant County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.
Chairwoman Edmonson opened the public hearing; and hearing no one wishing to speak, the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Martinez raised concerns about receiving an exceeded amount of signs under this foregoing proposed ordinance and inquired about the influx of signage. He expressed concerns about the Underline signage becoming essential to commercial advertising and to sizeable.
Commissioner Higgins explained the Underline signage would be under the metro rail tracks. She noted approval was needed by Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to do the signage under the County�s new code. Commissioner Higgins indicated the intent was to showcase beautiful art and not display advertisements.
Ms. Alice Bravo, Director of Transportation and Public Works, indicated the intent for the Signage Master Plan was to create a guide for the trail paths. She noted a manual was developed to provide different types of signage to make the facility more interactive. Also, Ms. Bravo stated a sponsor signage would be displayed on the art work panel to recognize the donor(s).
Commissioner Martinez indicated he would support the foregoing proposed ordinance and the objective should remain as a recreational path with limited commercial signage.
Vice-Chairwoman Sosa indicated the intent of the signage was to name the metro rail station, provide historical cultural information, and act as a recreational guide to people.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed ordinance as presented.

DISCUSSION RE: CRIMINAL JUSTICE INFORMATION SYSTEM (CJIS)
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Heyman raised concerns about Miami-Dade County Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida. She indicated the Eleventh Judicial Court System had ceased operations, because the majority of the court files were in paper format. Commissioner Heyman recalled when Commissioner Bovo was Chair, he supported an upgrade to the Eleventh Judicial Court System. She noted research had been conducted, along with the Request for Proposal (RFP), in search of a Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS). Commissioner Heyman indicated after eight months of research, all responses were deemed non-responsive. She urge that a digitize system program be established for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court System.
Commissioner Heyman requested that Mayor Carlos Gimenez evaluate a competitive bid of waiver to limit the competition to those proposers. She cited (RFP-01208) as follows: �that the competitive bid waiver would provide for a flexible evaluation of price, and would allow all those proposer to offer new proposal if they desire, which would clear all nonresponsive issues�. She asked that Mayor Gimenez report his findings and recommendations for a competitive bid waiver at the next Board of County Commission�s meeting on June 16, 2020.
Pursuant to Commissioner Levine Cava�s question as to whether the RFP was the short list respondent, and whether a new RFP process should be opened; Commissioner Heyman indicated the previous proposal had 6 original respondents. She noted all 6 original respondents was invited to participate in the current proposal with adjustments to the previous non-responsive RFP.
In response to Vice-Chairwoman Sosa�s question as to whether Chief Judge Bertila Soto desired to proceed with the information system; Commissioner Heyman confirmed that Chief Judge Soto agreed to proceed with the information system.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed discussion as presented.

DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL'S OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS ON VENDOR SELECTION FOR THE COUNTY EMERGENCY MEAL SERVICE PROGRAM
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Jordan voiced concerns about the County Emergency Meal Service, noting 128 seniors were left out of the meals program after the congregate meal site was ordered to close. Commissioner Jordan stated since the 311 opened, an increase of 82,000 meal home deliveries had occurred, with one home delivery between four and seven meals at a time, costing the County $10.00 per meal. She asked how the administration was going to de-escalate the increase growth of 402 meals, costing the County $24 million, and whether a plan was developed to address the increase cost.
Mayor Carlos Gimenez indicated an eligible criteria was developed for the County Emergency Meal Service Program. He stated the eligibility should be designated to those receiving meals at the community centers, along with an income based criteria. Additionally, Mayor Gimenez indicated the number of meal deliveries do not exceed to 82,000, and the intent for the meals program was to reframe clients from congregating at the community centers. He noted the administration would mitigate the number of meals being distributed, while providing meals at home to those who were in need.
Deputy Mayor Maurice Kemp stated at the direction of the Mayor; he and Deputy Mayor Edward Marquez, engaged Cathy Jackson, and the Finance Department, to develop a transition plan for the meals program. He indicated that he would be meeting with Mayor Gimenez to discuss the transition plan, and would reach out to the Board of County Commissioners for input. Also, Deputy Mayor Kemp stated a plan to implement a streamline or sunset for this program was in progress.
Commissioner Jordan pointed out that there were a number of agencies involved with the County�s Congregate Meals Program. She inquired whether the administration verified if those agencies shifted to the County�s Emergency Meals Program, and if so what was the cost differential.
Deputy Mayor Kemp explained after the directive to close the community centers, he reached out to Community Action and Human Services Department (CAHSD) and the Division of Elderly Affairs, to work with the county to ensure no seniors went without meals. He indicated both agencies had flexible funding resources to provide meals at home. Deputy Mayor Kemp also stated a list of agencies was under review for reconcilement and streamlining as a part of the County�s meals program. He indicated such efforts were set forth to ensure those agencies were taking care of their clients, and not using the County as a funding source.
Commissioner Jordan questioned whether a report would be provided on a de-escalation plan. She reiterated going from 128 seniors to 82,000 seniors was alarming, and asked whether the de-escalation plan involved a gradual return back to 128 seniors; Deputy Mayor Kemp emphasized the intent of the program was to save lives by preventing people/seniors from coming to a congregating setting. He noted the directive from the Mayor urged seniors remain home, and meals would be provided to those seniors. Deputy Mayor Kemp indicated the Commission Auditor�s Office, Finance Department, and the Direction of the Mayor would assist in facilitating a report, to which the Commission would review and provide input.
Mayor Gimenez stated the meals program was instituted to prevent the most vulnerable of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from congregating at Community centers, noting he believed the administration had saved lives in taking this course of action. Mayor Gimenez indicated that a criteria would be set forth to those who were actually in need.
Commissioner Jordan inquired whether the $24 million dollars could be recovered by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); Mayor Gimenez indicated that a majority of the $24 million dollars could be recovered from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
Commissioner Sosa suggested working with the cities to solicit volunteers from the community centers. She noted the cost per meal within her district was $5.50, after Mayor Gimenez stated the County�s meal program was $10.00 per meal. She urged the Commission to continue to protect the seniors, as the covid19 cases continue to increase.
In response to Commissioner Martinez� question regarding the Inspector General (OIG) report on Observations and Comments on Vendor Selection for the County Emergency Meal Service Program, Ms. Mary T. Cagle, Miami-Dade Office of the Inspector General, indicated the OIG interviewed Lean Culinary Services, LLC dba DeliverLean (DeliverLean), a non-local vendor, located in Broward County, and Office of Emergency Management (OEM). She noted the OIG did not interview individuals from the 120 senior centers that were closed under the emergency order. Ms. Cagle indicated the OIG interviewed Internal Service Department (ISD), who specified they were not seeking local vendors to participate in the meals program. She stated although there were five local vendors from Miami Dade that participated in the program, they could do far less at capacity, of what DeliverLean could do with the greater need.
Commissioner Martinez and Chairwoman Edmonson raised concerns about the report stating that CAHSD contacted the local vendors to participate in the meals program, but the vendors indicated theywere not able to expand their current operations, howeverlocal vendors did reached out to the Commission emphasizing that they could expand, but was not contacted to participate in the meals program.
Commissioner Higgins opined that she visited two of DeliverLean facilities and was impressed with the level of organization displayed. She shared her experience with delivering meals with DeliverLean staff, noting she was duly impressed with the technology used to deliver the meals to the clients. Commissioner Higgins reassured the Commission of the professionalism displayed by DeliverLean staff, and the dispense of County dollars being distributed back into Miami-Dade County, by DeliverLean hiring Miami-Dade County employees, and utilizing Miami Dade County kitchens. She stated the financial implications would ramp up, but if the program was to scale down then it would be sustainable.
Commissioner Diaz voiced his concerns about going outside of Miami-Dade County to hire vendor. He believed the administration could have hired local vendors from Miami-Dade County to participate in the meals program. Commissioner Diaz stated in certain circumstances, such as a hurricane hitting Miami-Dade County, would call for outside jurisdiction hire.
Deputy Mayor Kemp reiterated the intent for the meals program was a life-saving program for the vulnerable and that he was proud of those who were involved.

DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING THE COUNTY�S FORGIVABLE SMALL BUSINESS LOAN PROGRAM
|
4 Day Rule Invoked
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Bovo asked for clarity on the County�s forgivable Small Business Loan Program, indicating an amendment was needed if the intent was to distribute the funds to all 13 commission districts. He also asked for clarification on the application and evaluation process, noting the amendments proposed referred only to the forgivable loan process.
Commissioner Heyman recalled the events pertaining to a proposed resolution at the May 19, 2020, Board of County Commissions (BCC) meeting, noting the County Mayor Carlos Gimenez instructed Michael Liu, Director of Miami-Dade County Public Housing and Community Development Department, to ensure that all 13 Commission district be represented and had access to the program. Commissioner Heyman indicated after a Zoom meeting with Ms. Maria Coto from Partners for Self Employment and Mr. Leroy Jones from Tools for Change, the program was a first come first serve, and applications were not uniformed. She pointed out the resolution was not consistent with what Mayor Gimenez, Commissioners Sosa and Martinez had requested at the time. Commissioner Heyman indicated her district was not being considered for the Small Business Loan Program.
Mayor Gimenez informed the Commission that he spoke with Mr. Leroy Jones. He noted that Mr. Jones wanted to do first come-first serve method, but the Mayor emphasized to Mr. Jones that all districts must be represented. Mayor Gimenez indicated that Mr. Jones stated that if all 13 commission districts received the equal funding, there would be additional funding left over. Therefore, he noted there needed to be a 5% leeway, because of the additional funding that would be left over.
Commissioner Bovo stated that he did not have an issue with the Mayor Gimenez� proposal; noting if there was no need in certain districts, then the funds could be reverted to a general fund. He acknowledged that all 13 districts had been impacted economically by this pandemic; however, and he wanted to ensure that all 13 district received the assistance program, specifically within district 13.
Vice-Chairwoman Sosa stated she stood by the motion to serve all the 13 commission districts. She commented on the needs of her district during this unprecedented time of the pandemic, and the impact on the small businesses in her district. She stressed that she wanted to ensure all 13 districts had the option of conducting outreach to all businesses.
Commissioner Martinez indicated that he voted against the resolution mentioned by Commissioner Heyman; citing there was no clear plan for outreach. He noted it would be difficult to conduct outreach in community because of the pandemic. Commissioner Martinez pointed out not everyone in the community possess an email account. He stated that he would like to have more dialogue with the organizations about outreach for the community.
Chairwoman Edmonson pointed out the issue with the funding was the Federal Government criteria. She noted the Federal Government specified that the funds needed to be utilize by the end of the year.
Commissioner Levine Cava stated businesses were economically impacted county wide and there was time constraints on the distribution of the funds. She stressed the need for small businesses impacted by the pandemic to access these funds and to rebuild the economy.
Commissioner Diaz suggested the funding be increased to 20%, rather than Mr. Lui proposal of under 10%. He stated he believed the community needed additional funding as a result of the economic impact on small businesses. Commissioner Diaz spoke about the economic hardship small businesses in his district were facing. He stressed the need to distribute the funds in a fair manner. Also, Commissioner Diaz asked whether the forgivable Small Business Loan Program funding amount was $5 million and whether $1 million would go to the administration at 20%.
Mr. Liu explained that both organizations agreed as part of the formal contracts, that they would limit the funding to no more than 10%. He noted that he was still working out the criteria with both organizations.
Chairwoman Edmonson indicated the pandemic was impacting all classes of people in Miami Dade County.
Mr. Leroy Jones, Tools for Change, thanked the County Commissioners for putting trust in Tools for Change and Partners for Self-Employment. He voiced concerns about the commissioners allegations regarding their districts lack of involvement in the Forgivable Small Business Program. He stressed that every County Commissioner was notified and asked to participate in the Zoom meetings concerning the Forgivable Small Business Loan Program. Mr. Jones indicated that all commissioners had been given links to email out to their constituents and 1500 businesses were informed about the Forgivable Small Business Loan Program. Mr. Jones indicated the organization received 92 applications from all 13 districts. He noted a representative from the Mayor�s Office notified him and stated that all 13 districts must participate in the Forgivable Small Business Loan Program. Mr. Jones urged the Commission to trust in his expertise and his ability to assist Miami-Dade Business owners during this unprecedented time.
Ms. Maria Coto, Partners for Self Employment, concurred with Mr. Jones statements. She noted both organizations had a long history of fairly servicing Miami Dade County. Ms. Coto indicated that the organizations had orchestrated a number of outreach throughout Miami-Dade County. She noted that both organizations started the outreach with a zoom meeting inviting staff from each commissioner�s districts. Subsequently, Ms. Coto asked that all 13 Commissioners assist in reaching out to their constituents. Also, she pointed out the loan program was 100% forgivable with criteria and allowable expenses. Ms. Coto indicated dividing the funds amongst each district would leave additional funds. She pointed out with equitable distribution there were districts that were larger than other districts.
Commissioner Bovo stressed that his previous comments was in reference to policy-setting by the Board and the equitable distribution of help business owners revive their businesses.
Commissioner Martinez requested that a report be provided of the businesses who applied for the loan assistance program, by name, address and requested amount.
Commissioner Jordan inquired whether Partners for Self Employment, and Tools for Change had the same applications and whether the standards for both applications required the same eligibility information. Additionally, she noted that she was not in favor of the amendments being proposed, because every district was different.
Mr. Liu replied the applications were similar in content, but vary in certain aspects. He noted both application were not complex, and basic information for eligibility was required for both applications.
Clarence D. Brown, Housing & Community Development Division Director (Moderator), indicated that both organizations had separate applications, as two independent Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). He noted both organizations were working together to develop similar applications.
Commissioners Jordan, Levine Cava, Monestime and Moss commended Mr. Jones and Ms. Coto for reaching out to them. The commissioners indicated that they believed that both organizations would service the community, by providing the funds to small businesses impacted economically.
Commissioner Higgins indicated the level of accuracy in dividing funds to 13 commission districts could possibly leave some additional funds. She stressed the need for flexibility in dividing the fund equitably. Commissioner Higgins suggested that foregoing resolution be deferred to ensure that the organizations meet the requirements of all 13 Commission districts and the Mayor�s instructions, along with the report.
Chairwoman Edmonson concurred with Commissioner Higgins and proposed that the resolution be amended and asked that the County Attorneys provide assistance in developing the appropriate language for the amendment. She noted that she wanted the constituents to benefit from the loan program. Chairwoman Edmonson asked that the amendment language state that the funds be to divided equally, or as close as possible, amongst all 13 commission districts. She suggested that Mr. Jones work together with Ms. Coto to ensure both organizations had the same criteria and possibly use the same application process.
Mr. Jones indicated that he was in daily communication with Ms. Coto, and that both organizations worked closely together to review applications and avoid duplications. Mr. Jones assured the Commission that he would continue to work closely with Ms. Coto.
Commissioner Bovo believed the criteria should be similar for both organizations; and agreed to Chairwoman Edmonson�s proposed amendment.
Commissioner Levine Cava invoked the 4-Day Rule on the foregoing proposed resolution.
Vice Chairwoman Sosa asked what motion was taken at the (5/19) BCC meeting regarding the funds being divided equally and whether that motion stands with the 4-Day Rule; First Assistant County Attorney Geri-Bonzon-Keenan confirmed item 14A1 was bifurcated, approved, and amended at the (5/19) BCC meeting and qualified for the 4-Day Rule.
Mayor Gimenez asked for further clarification on item 14A1 at the (5/19) BCC meeting; Assistant County Attorney Brenda Kuhns Neuman indicated at the (5/19) BCC meeting the Small Business Loan Program was bifurcated, and the small business portion would be facilitated county wide by the two agencies. She noted the motion did not say divide equally to all 13 commission districts.
Mayor Gimenez directed Mr. Liu that all 13 Commission districts be represented equitably and requested that both organizations understand exactly what Miami-Dade County expected from them.

REPORT:
First Assistant County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
Commissioner Levine Cava indicated the Water and Sewer project would replace an electrical substation 21 feet above sea level to help alleviate the flooding. She noted heavy rain water created a surge in the Western North Dade Plant system that caused a sewage overflow. Commissioner Levine Cava noted over the years, there had been numerous water breaks and excessive spending to isolate the system from being filtrated by rain water, increase flooding, and sea level rise stressing the pipes, pumps, and plants. Commissioner Levine Cava inquired about a short term plan to ensure that the system failures would not continue to occur from the rain.
Mr. Kevin Lynskey, Director Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer, indicated the system performance in the last five years of infiltrations had improved compared to 10 years ago. He noted the flooding that occurred in the North District plant was the largest flow in 10 years, and the spill was not in connection with the leaks, but rather with 10 tons of personal care items in the system. Mr. Lynskey explained overtime staff examined these rain events, in search of leaks in the system, when the pumps start to activate at a higher filtration rate. He noted by ordinance, a review of one tenth of the system was conducted every year. Mr. Lynskey indicated that with regard to mid and long term solutions, 20 work-orders were conducted daily, while the short term solution was to fix the issues promptly.
Mayor Carlos Gimenez requested that a larger retention be built around the pumps where the overflow occurred, to avoid environmental damage. He pointed out there were 270,000 gallons of water waste backing up the system, with an additional 900,000 after the rain events. He noted the increase water overflow was not an ordinary occurrence. Mayor Gimenez noted mitigation would be administered to cover the cost for the retention.
Commissioner Sosa questioned whether the foregoing proposed resolution was a consent decree, and Mr. Lynskey confirmed that the foregoing proposed resolution was a consent decree.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

REPORT:
First Assistant County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
Commissioner Higgins provided an overview of the forgivable loans agreement with the Dade County Federal Credit Union loan program, for those small businesses impacted as a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19/COVID) pandemic. Commissioner Higgins indicated she partnered with Michael Finney, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Miami-Dade Beacon Council, and the administration, to launch a revolving loan program funded by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES ACT). She indicated several small businesses and micro enterprises, with 10 employees or less, did not qualify for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. Commissioner Higgins noted the collaboration with the grantee, Dade County Federal Credit Union, would provide oversight for the funds distributed to small businesses in Miami-Dade County. She stated the loan process eligibility would be one application for all of Dade County jurisdiction. Commissioner Higgins advised that Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) worked with small businesses to access capital and interface with organizations to build businesses.
Commissioner Jordan asked to be listed as co-sponsor on the foregoing proposed resolution.
In response to Commissioner Jordan�s question about how was the collaboration with the CDFI established; Commissioner Higgins indicated a criteria was developed to select a minimum of five CDFI by a Policy Committee.
Deputy Mayor Edward Marquez indicated that the Credit Union was qualified to undertake the high volume of loan applications. He stated the maximum loan amount was $30,000.00 at an interest rate of 3.5%. Deputy Mayor Marquez provided an overview of the criteria required to qualify for the loan. He advised there would be loan defaults, but in comparison to other loan programs the defaults would be minor.
Responding to Commissioner Jordan�s question as to whether the partnership with the CDFI�s and management was for oversight and distribution provided by the Credit Union; Deputy Mayor Marquez indicated there was Memorandum of Agreement established with the CDFI and Credit Union.
In connection to Vice-Chairwoman Sosa�s question about the Credit Union involvement with the PPP loans; George Joseph, President CEO, and Director of Dade County Federal Credit Union, confirmed that the Credit Union was involved in the PPP loans.
Vice-Chairwoman Sosa questioned whether all 13 commission districts could participate in the loan program; Commissioner Higgins confirmed all 13 commission districts could partake in the loan program, since all businesses in Miami-Dade County was economically impacted.
Vice-Chairwoman Sosa asked to be listed as co-sponsor on this foregoing proposed resolution.
Commissioner Martinez referenced a list of partners affiliated with the Credit Union, such as Hialeah and West Kendall Business Association, and asked what outreach was being facilitated to those associations.
Mr. Joseph indicated all CDFI�s would post the loan program information on their website. He noted extensive advertisement would be conducted, with Miami Herald serving as a source of advertisement. Mr. Joseph noted a marketing team would be sent out to every CDFI to assist in promoting the loan program, and welcomed recommendations from the Commission.
Discussion ensued amongst Commissioner Martinez, Mr. Joseph, and Deputy Mayor Marquez about providing the loan program information to the outer-parts of Miami Dade County community. Deputy Mayor Marquez provided a list of recommendations, on how to get the word out into the community with advertisement.
With regards to Commissioner Martinez inquiry regarding businesses defaulting on the loan(s); Deputy Mayor Marquez indicated the Credit Union had the ability to pursue those businesses that defaulted on the loan. He noted the same requirements applied when a loan defaulted to seek payment from the applicant.
In response to Commissioner Martinez�s requested that the Credit Union provide a report of the number of loan(s) received, Commissioner Higgins indicated that a quarterly report would be provided of the number of loans received by zip codes. She noted advertising, marketing and the first loan applicant(s) was anticipated by the end of June.
Commissioner Higgins responded to Commissioner Monestime inquiry and confirmed the maximum loan request was $30,000.00 and noted the private sector would contribute to the loan program to expand the funding amount, and that the Policy Committee may decide to change the criteria to an increased amount.
Commissioner Monestime wanted assurance that the $30,000.00 loan repayment did not become a burden to businesses and suggested propagating payments to eight years, with $300.00 to $400.00 dollar monthly payments, along with credit score leniency. Commissioner Monestime also recommended that the Policy Committee extended the loan term for those businesses displaying the on-time monthly payment for six months.
Commissioner Higgins indicated some of the businesses will need those forgivable loans for business that would be up and running; the Policy Committee could change the loan time period, if they deem it necessary; she thanked Mayor Gimenez for allowing the creation of this program and thanked the Commission for their support and recommendations.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution as presented.

RESOLUTION APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (''MOU'') BETWEEN VIRGIN TRAINS USA FLORIDA LLC (''VIRGIN TRAINS'') AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PROVIDING THE FRAMEWORK FOR NEGOTIATIONS FOR AGREEMENTS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUTER RAIL SERVICE FOR THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR OF THE STRATEGIC MIAMI AREA RAPID TRANSIT PLAN; DIRECTING THE COUNTY MAYOR OR COUNTY MAYOR�S DESIGNEE TO NEGOTIATE AGREEMENTS WITH (1) VIRGIN TRAINS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MOU AND (2) PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INTERESTED PARTIES ALONG THE NORTHEAST CORRIDOR FOR CONTRIBUTIONS OF LAND AND FUNDING TOWARD CAPITAL, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSES OF THE TRAIN STATIONS AND PARKING FACILITIES; AND FURTHER DIRECTING THE COUNTY MAYOR OR COUNTY MAYOR�S DESIGNEE TO PLACE AGREEMENTS ON A BOARD AGENDA FOR APPROVAL OR, IF NO AGREEMENT IS REACHED, TO PROVIDE REPORT
|
Amended
|

REPORT:
First Assistant County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the title of the foregoing proposed resolution into the record.
In response to Commissioner Heyman proposed a motion to defer the foregoing proposed resolution, Commissioner Sosa emphasized that the deferral of the foregoing proposed resolution could result in losing federal funding.
Mr. Jose Gonzalez, Executive Vice President of Florida East Coast Industries, Virgin Trains, apppeared before the Committee and indicated that an open proposal was being explored. Also, he noted that he was working with Ileana Ros-Lehtinen for the Christly Grants, which was due in July. Mr. Gonzalez stressed the need to pursue those federal funds, and noted the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) would be negotiated in October.
Commissioner Heyman stated she was prepared to provide an amendment to direct Mayor Carlos Gimenez to negotiate with Virgin Trains without an MOU and details, in order to expedite the foregoing proposed resolution.
Mayor Gimenez indicated that the administration was not in favor of this foregoing proposed resolution; citing only if directed by the Commission the administration would agree to negotiate with Virgin Trains.
Extensive discussion ensued amongst the Commission, as to whether the foregoing resolution should be deferred, wherein Commissioner Heyman withdrew the motion to defer the foregoing proposed resolution.
Commissioner Heyman proposed to negotiate with Virgin Transit USA Florida LLC (Virgin Trains) based on the original intent without the caption amount, to include private developers for the commuter stops, and that the Mayor�s recommendation/report be presented to the Board of County Commissions in 90 days.
Chairwoman Edmonson pointed out that her and Commissioner Monestime�s district did not have a commuter stop and questioned whether the proposal only allowed Mayor Gimenez to select the commuter stops within the districts.
Commissioner Martinez opposed the foregoing resolution, approving a County Attorney�s MOU between Virgin Trains and Miami-Dade County provided the framework for negotiations. He cited the cost to operate the commuter service was $276 million with $106 million left over.
Commissioner Moss pointed out the North Corridor was supposed to be the initial contender for the commuter service. He indicated that South Dade could not get a commuter rail, because it was opposed by Commissioner Heyman.
Commissioner Monestime stated he was opposed the foregoing resolution, citing the additional vetting required during the negotiation process and the cost to operate the commuter service. He indicated additional routes in the transit plan should be essential to the needs of the constituents.
Commissioner Monestime pointed out the North Corridor must be considered for the commuter service.
Following a brief discussion regarding the negotiation process and the cost to operate the commuter service, Commissioner Sosa pointed out that initially the cost was not included in the memorandum, and everything changed once the cost was inserted into the proposal. She agreed to the MOU between Virgin Trains and Miami-Dade County providing the framework for negotiations. Vice-Chairwoman Sosa suggested that the access fee be included into the negotiation. She stressed the need to access federal funds and grants to help assist the community with commuter services.
Commissioner Bovo expressed concerns about not moving forward with the commuter service proposal, noting transportation in Miami-Dade County had been an ongoing challenge for several years. He stated that he was in favor of the MOU between Virgin Trains and Miami-Dade County because it provided the framework for negotiations.
Commissioner Levine Cava expressed concerns about the development of the North Corridor. Also, she noted the commuter rail needed to be affordable and equal to the Metrorail. She noted the administration should collaborate with the Federal Government to assist with the affordability. Commissioner Levine Cava indicated that she supported the ongoing negotiations and seek protection of the public investments.
Commissioner Higgins stated the extraction of the MOU allowed Mayor Gimenez to negotiate the terms and conditions. She noted talking to the community and property owners about the transit solution would help with the negotiations. Additionally, Commissioner Higgins indicated accessing federal and private funds would be inevitable for the commuter rail. She asked that Ms. Bravo research the figures and details on how the negotiations along with the corridors conform into the initiatives.
Commissioner Jordan indicated that the North Corridor had been disregarded for several years; therefore, she noted the North Corridor would be an appropriate commuter rail project. She inquired whether the Request for Proposal (RFP) for the North Corridor would be diluted.
Ms. Tara C. Smith, Director of the Internal Services Department (ISD) responded after the legal sufficiency review, the RFP for the North Corridor would be issued.
Pursuant to Commissioner Jordan�s question as to whether the commuter rail service resolution would affect the RFP for the North Corridor, Mayor Gimenez confirmed that the North Corridor RFP would not be impacted by the commuter service resolution. He emphasized that he opposed the commuter rail resolution, because the cost was $2.7 billion dollar. Subsequently, Mayor Gimenez noted that he would negotiate with Virgins Trains and the RFP would go out for the North Corridor.
Commissioner Suarez concur with the Mayor Gimenez regarding the $2.7 billion dollar price tag on the commuter rail. He noted the commuter rail served as a joint venture with the Florida East Coast (FEC). He pointed out Bright-line was experiencing borderline insolvent issues. Commissioner Suarez referenced an article about the challenges Bright line was facing. He noted City of Miami had a great transit rail system mode that County could use. Commissioner Suarez indicated that he was not in support of the foregoing proposed resolution, because of the immense cost associated with the item.
Commissioner Diaz concurred with Commission Bovo�s statements on the lack of transparency when it comes to transit initiatives. He pointed out that the train track was owned by a private entity and by other areas. Commissioner Diaz indicated the Commission should allow the Mayor to negotiate commuter rail and provide a structural proposal. Additionally, he spoke about the Commission seeking federal funding without a solid plan. He inquired whether the foregoing resolution was a Public Private Partnership (P3).
Commissioner Heyman replied that she anticipated that the resolution was a P3, because it could be structured as a non-binding and negotiated process. She noted there were developers willing to construct the stops and cover the cost, for the right to develop in the surrounding areas.
Mayor Gimenez indicated the negotiation process would transpire, but not for $2.7 billion dollars. He noted the People�s Transportation Plan (PTP) would have to be extended in order to make all the corridors work. Mayor Gimenez stressed that he would not initiate false hope, because he was fiscally conservative, pointing out that operating the commuter rail would be $75 million dollars a year. Mayor Gimenez emphasized that Miami-Dade County would not bail out Virgin Train, as the company faced economic hardship.
Commissioner Heyman provided an overview of the language and time frame of the commuter rail motion.
There being no further comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution as presented.

She inquired whether Miami-Dade County, Mayor Carlos Gimenez invoked an Executive Order to conduct testing at nursing homes and Assisted Living Facilities (ALF), with Florida Department of State assistance. Commissioner Levine Cava also questioned, in the absence of State action, what could the County do to facilitate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) contact tracing.
Mayor Gimenez indicated that, without the State involvement, the administration would have to create a voluntary contact tracing program. He stated after the administration reached out to Florida State Department, the State was receptive to the County conducting more contact tracing.
Deputy Mayor Maurice Kemp explained the Department of Health (DOH) had completed testing for all nursing homes and ALFs. He noted DOH would provide the administration with information of when the testing assignment was completed for the nursing homes and ALFs. Deputy Mayor Kemp stated with regards to contact tracing, he noted the State had agreed to allow Miami-Dade County to facilitate the hiring for a certain amount of contact tracers.
With regards to Commissioner Levine Cava�s question about frequent COVID-19 testing and whether contact tracers were characterize as volunteers, Deputy Mayor Kemp indicated the administration was in discussion with DOH and Jackson Memorial Hospital to develop a plan for periodic testing. He also noted the contact tracers would be financially disburse and not characterize as volunteers.
Discussion ensued amongst Commissioner Levine Cava, Mayor Gimenez, and Deputy Mayor Kemp regarding COVID-19 testing and contact tracing initiatives with the State of Florida.
Extensive discussion ensued regarding Commissioner Martinez�s request for clarity on an Executive Order issued by the Mayor on the closure of businesses in Miami-Dade County as a result of the pandemic, particulaly that regarding ten people a table at a restaurant living in the same household.
Relating to COVID-19 Executive Order business and parks closures, Commissioners Heyman Bovo, and Higgins asked that Mayor Gimenez provide information regarding dog parks, beaches, restaurants, and casino capacity; Mayor Gimenez indicated he would provide information within two to four weeks regarding the initiatives raised.
There being no comments or questions, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution as presented.
