	DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING THE CORONAVIRUS DISEASE 2019 (COVID-19) PANDEMIC			Presented
	REPORT: Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez gave a brief report regarding the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. He noted a curfew had been instituted in Miami-Dade County, all places of assembly including interior dining at restaurants was closed. Mayor Gimenez indicated that the County was enforcing the mask mandate and pointed out some businesses had been closed. He stated a number of citations had been issued to businesses and individuals and that he would provide Board with a detailed report regarding those citations. Mayor Gimenez pointed out that the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations had decreased recently, although the number of people admitted into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and placed on ventilators had increased. He stated the hospitalizations numbers should stabilize and decline within a few weeks. He indicated the County was at the crest of the pandemic, however he noted he was optimistic the numbers would level off, then decrease. Mayor Gimenez urged everyone to be vigilant about hand washing and wearing masks. With regard to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding received from the State of Florida, Mayor Gimenez noted his recommendation was that the County and municipalities be reimbursed for operational expenses. He indicated funds needed to be spent by December and that Miami-Dade County would be responsible for reimbursing the Federal Government should it be found that funds were misappropriated. Commissioner Bovo inquired about the mandatory mask ordinance, noting he received negative feedback from constituents who felt they were being harassed by police officers. Responding to Commissioner Bovo�s concerns, Deputy Mayor Jennifer Moon explained that the emergency order required everyone to wear a mask in public places, except when doing strenuous activity or exercising; if a person is walking in a public place, they should be wearing a mask. Commissioner Bovo opined that this emergency order needed to have sensible limitations and he suggested that if no one else was around, and a person is not wearing a mask, that person should not be subjected to a fine. Commissioner Moss noted there seemed to be uncertainty regarding how the virus was transmitted, the idea was to make sure everyone was wearing a mask in an effort to prevent spreading the virus, or the alternative was to shut down again.

	REPORT: Deputy Mayor Jennifer Moon gave a Power Point Presentation entitled Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) Financial update strategy. The presentation also detailed the proposed allocation of CRF in the amount of $474,000,000 for the following categories: -Pandemic response reimbursements -public health expenses -basic needs -business assistance -economic stimulus -reserve for future conditions Deputy Mayor Moon further explained details regarding each aforementioned category proposed for an allocation; she provided details regarding reimbursement for eligible pandemic response activities as well as COVID-19 related expense reimbursement for municipalities. Following Deputy Moon�s Commissioner Jordan inquired about the Mayor�s comment made in a meeting regarding $135,000,000 to be distributed to municipalities based on population and whether the amount being proposed at today�s meeting was different. Responding to Commissioner Jordan, Deputy Mayor Moon explained that the administration held discussions with municipality leaders regarding equitable methods to distributing funding to the different municipalities in Miami-Dade County. She noted the County had made allocations for community-wide programs that municipalities intended to spend funding on and that currently the expenses incurred by municipalities, related to the pandemic, had to be reimbursed. Deputy Mayor Moon indicated that municipalities could also apply for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reimbursement and pointed out that Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding was intended to match FEMA eligible activities largely funded by the Federal Government. Commissioner Jordan noted that if the Administration had made a public commitment to municipalities, then the changes being made should done in collaboration with those municipalities. She stated commissioners of the municipalities within her district were looking forward to receiving an allocation based on the distribution formula that was previously outlined. With regards to Commissioner Jordan�s comments, Deputy Moon explained that the municipalities had rejected the formula and requested $200,000,000, with the intent of making allocations within their municipalities. She noted this Board determined the priorities and needs of the County as a whole. Commissioner Jordan expressed her concern regarding taking away the ability of municipalities of deciding what was best for their communities. She inquired about the amount of funding the municipalities would receive. Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez explained that municipalities in Miami-Dade County would receive reimbursement for operational expenses related to COVID-19; however Miami-Dade County would not honor their requests for $200 million allocations; the funding will be distributed throughout the county for services. Further discussion ensued between Commissioner Jordan and Mayor Gimenez regarding the amount of funds proposed to be allocated to municipal cities. Commissioner Heyman explained the application and reimbursement processes of the CARES Act. She noted the Administration would assist city managers on how to apply for funding from FEMA. Responding to Commissioner Heyman�s comments regarding the Miami-Dade County Courts and its need for an upgrade to the Simultaneous Paperless Image Retrieval Information Technology (SPIRIT) system, Chairwoman Edmonson advised Commissioner Heyman to have the department send a proposal to the Administration. Responding to Commissioner Heyman�s inquiry regarding how much fund were spent by the county during the pandemic and how much of these funds had been recovered, Deputy Mayor Ed Marquez indicated the County had incurred over $200 million in COVID-19 related expenses and that a large portion of those expenses will be processed through FEMA. He noted no reimbursements from FEMA have been processed. Discussion ensued between Commissioner Diaz and Deputy Mayor Moon regarding allocating CARES Act funds to municipalities and the amount of funds being proposed. Commissioner Higgins spoke in support of small businesses during the pandemic and suggested, in an effort to become more efficient, rather than having 34 small business programs for each municipality and a County program for Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA), that the Board implement one countywide small business program. . She noted the CARES Act funding needed to be allocated expeditiously and asked that Ms. Moon meet with her regarding providing a report every 30 days on how CARES Act funding had been spent geographically. Commissioner Higgins expressed her concern and wanted to ensure that the amount of $30 million of CARES Act funding for municipalities did not change or be decreased. Commissioner Bovo expressed his concern regarding the amount of CARES Act funds being allocated to cities was only $30 million and inquired how the Administration had arrived at this amount. Deputy Mayor Moon explained that funds were set aside for municipalities, however no specific amount had been determined. She noted after the millage setting meeting the administration reprioritized the funding and other allocations had already been made. Ms. Moon indicated only three (3) municipalities had responded to the County�s request regarding their COVID-19 related expenses. She noted with little information to made a determination, the Administration decided to look at what the county spent on the government operations in the unincorporated areas and used that to estimate what would be applicable to the remainder of the county. Ms. Moon opined that the municipalities were considering the total operational expenses and not considering the FEMA match, which was what the CARES Act would cover. Following Deputy Mayor Moon�s comments and further discussion between Commissioner Bovo and Ms. Moon; Commissioner Bovo suggested the $130 million be set aside until the municipalitiesand the county reconcile how the funds would be allocated. Chairwoman Edmonson disagreed with Commissioner Bovo�s suggestion and inquired which municipal cities had responded to the County�s requests for operational expenses. Deputy Mayor Moon indicated that Miami Gardens, Miami Shores and El Portal were the only cities that had responded. Chairwoman Edmonson noted that she simply contacted the municipalities� representatives within her district and requested them to submit their expenses. She suggested Board members to contact the municipalities and make the same request. Commissioner Jordan spoke regarding converting additional hospital beds to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds and pointed out that conversion required a large amount of expenditure. Deputy Mayor Moon responded noting the conversion was related to staffing and was being funded by the State of Florida. She stated the infrastructure was taken care of, therefore the funding would be used to hire nurses and other staff. Discussion ensued between Deputy Mayor Moon and Commissioner Jordan regarding hazard pay for nurses treating COVID-19 patients. Responding to Commissioner Jordan�s inquiry regarding whether transit employees would be included to receive hazard pay, Deputy Mayor Moon asked Commissioner Jordan to re-submit her request if she wanted transit workers to also received hazard pay, as such action would require the Board�s approval. Commissioner Levine Cava expressed her concern regarding the lack of communication between the administration, municipalities and the County Commission. She noted she was in favor of setting aside as much funding as possible for municipal cities. Commissioner Levine Cava noted she was in favor of hazard pay for nurses treating COVID-19 patients. Commissioner Moss noted he wanted to continue funding for Cultural Arts. He noted 98% of his district was unincorporated, noting the Board voted against incorporation. He stated his district residents did not have access to the resources and services as municipalities and urged the Board to take his districts needs into consideration. Discussion ensued between Commissioner Jordan and First Assistant County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan regarding the request for hazard pay for transit employees and nurses, wherein Ms. Bonzon Keenan noted she would prepare motions on behalf of Commissioner Jordan, along with the amendments requested by Commissioner Levine Cava. Deputy Mayor Ed Marquez noted nurses were considered frontline workers and were given preferential treatment and hazard pay if they worked to treat COVID-19 patients. With regards to hazard pay for transit employees, Deputy Mayor Marquez explained that he met with consultants who opined that the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) was not allowed to be used for hazard pay for transit workers because their jobs were not specifically related to mitigating COVID-19 expenses. He also noted that he also contacted the Federal Government�s Treasury Department and was waiting for an answer. Deputy Mayor Marquez indicated that once the CARES Act grant was approved an incentive bonus could be paid to transit employees. Commissioner Jordan asked First Assistant County Attorney to prepare the appropriate legislation to pay nurses hazard pay and to pay an incentive bonus to transit employees. Deputy Mayor Moon apprised the Board of the funding allocation begin sought thus far, to include $30 million set aside for municipalities, $45 million for business assistance, $50 million employment and re-employment stimulus program and $45 million reserve for future conditions totaled $160 million; subtract $135 million for municipalities, $20 million for the two items on the agenda today, only leaves $5 million, which was not enough to pay the nursing staff at Jackson, which was $8 million. Mayor Gimenez expressed his concern regarding putting the funds in reserve and noted the municipalities needed to provide invoices for their COVID-19 related expenses, of which the County would reimburse. He expressed further concerns regarding allocating funds without having safeguard, since the County and its taxpayers would ultimately be responsible for those funds. He reiterated that he was willing to leverage funds to help residents with different programs. Commissioner Diaz urged municipalities to submit their COVID-19 related expenses to the County�s Administration. Further discussion ensued between the Commissioners, Mayor Gimenez and Deputy Moon regarding allocating funds to the municipalities and the amount of funding to be allocated to each municipal city. Commissioner Moss requested that the County Attorney prepare an item for consideration at the next BCC meeting to allow for a review of whether the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area within his district could be considered for funding. Commissioner Souto requested to be a co- prime sponsor of Commissioner Moss� requested item; Chairwoman Edmonson, Commissioners Jordan, Monestime, Diaz, Levine Cava and Bovo requested to be listed as a co-sponsor. Commissioner Bovo offered the following amendment to the foregoing report; to accept the updated financial strategy on the relief fund, to refrain from spending any of the funds and give the Administration and municipal cities time to reconcile. Commissioner Higgins noted that she was not in support of Commissioner Bovo�s amendment. The Board proceeded to vote on Commissioner Bovo�s amendment, however the vote failed. It was moved by Commissioner Moss to accept the foregoing report as presented. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Higgins and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 10-1 (Commissioner Levine Cava voted: No; Commissioners Martinez and Sosa were absent).
