Seconder: Raquel A. Regalado
Vote: 11 - 0
Absent: Sosa , Souto
  REPORT: Mr. Roy Coley, Director, Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) reviewed the intent of the foregoing item.

Commissioner Regalado recognized the importance of the project and stated that while she did not favor ratifications, the foregoing item was necessary to comply with the federal consent decree, therefore she was in support of the item.

Commissioner Garcia inquired about the status of an ongoing project along NW 57th Avenue and the procurement process.

Mr. Coley explained the project was currently under a �due diligence� review to evaluate the lowest bid offer. He noted the County�s Internal Services Department (ISD) issued a letter to the contractor presenting with the lowest bid and requested additional information. Mr. Coley advised the Board members that the contractor was given two (2) weeks to provide the additional information.

Commissioner Garcia questioned why the contract was not awarded to the second responsive bidder given the lack of information provided by the lowest bidder.

Assistant County Attorney Angela Benjamin noted the administration had requested the County Attorney�s Office provide a �responsiveness� determination related to the foregoing project, pursuant to Implementing Order 2-13 (IO 2-13). She reviewed the criteria used to determine whether a bid was responsive and explained based on the information provided by the administration, the selection committee determined that the lowest proposal could be evaluated. Assistant County Attorney Benjamin reported any concerns related to whether the project could be completed within the bid price was evaluated as a �determination of responsibility� by the administration and its findings presented to the Board of County Commissioners (Board/BCC) for final consideration.

Commissioner Garcia voiced his concerns regarding the procurement process, particularly given the lack of information included in the bid.

Assistant County Attorney Benjamin explained that the solicitation documents provided sole discretion to the selection committee to accept a proposal. She pointed out the selection committee was presented with the concerns of the design criteria professional regarding the technical nature of the proposal and noted the proposal�s deficiencies were related to responsibility not responsiveness.

Commissioner Garcia reiterated his concerns and emphasized the importance of improving the procurement process to address similar issues moving forward.

Chief Operations Officer (COO), Jimmy Morales, clarified that Mr. Coley requested the �due diligence� review based on the concerns raised by the design criteria professional. He indicated his commitment to reviewing and improving the procurement process to avoid future issues.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Garcia and Mr. Morales about monitoring the progress and completion of the project along NW 57th Street.

There being no other comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to take a vote on the foregoing ordinance, as presented.

  REPORT: County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read into the record the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance.

Commissioner Regalado acknowledged the intent of the foregoing proposed legislation and proffered a friendly amendment in light of the objections expressed by several municipalities located within Commission District 7 to the item. She requested the item be amended to allow municipalities to issue public works construction permits valid for 30 days to provide comments to Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW).

Commissioner Regalado explained the intent of the proffered amendment and further clarified that upon expiration of the 30 days, the permits would no longer exist in the system but the County would be able to proceed with the work needed. She indicated the administrative fee charged to the County for the permits should be reasonable and offer a detailed explanation of the amounts charged.

Chairman Diaz opened the public hearing and the following individuals appeared before the Board:

1. Town of Miami Lakes Councilman Josh Dieguez, 6601 Main Street, Miami Lakes, Florida, spoke about the role of municipalities in the permitting process and expressed his support for the proffered amendment to the item. He cited examples of previous public works projects which would have benefitted from the new proposal and emphasized the benefits of allowing municipal input in the process.

2. Village of Miami Shores Mayor Sandra Harris, 9900 NW 2nd Avenue, voiced her opposition to the foregoing item and stated that while the proffered amendment addressed some concerns raised by various municipalities about the permitting process, she believed the permits should be returned for a municipal review period to evaluate changes proposed by the County. Mayor Harris spoke about the need for a more organized and coordinated process to ensure the County and municipalities were both aware of works being done in a specific area.

There being no other persons registered or appearing to speak, Chairman Diaz closed the public hearing.

Chairman Diaz reviewed the intent of the foregoing proposed ordinance and provided an example of excessive permitting costs imposed by the City of Doral. He voiced his concerns regarding the permitting fees charged to the County and delays caused by the existing permitting process and pointed out the item would improve the permitting and public works process.

Mr. Frank Guyamier, Deputy Director for DTPW, stated the foregoing item sought to remedy issues related to maintenance of traffic coordination conflicts. He noted Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) currently used a portal system which was accessible to DTPW, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), City of Miami and City of Coral Gables; and explained using this portal would provide DTPW, municipalities and other stakeholders a visual platform to input schedules and Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plans. Mr. Guyamier spoke in favor of the 30 day review period and reported all that was needed to utilize the existing portal was a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the County and interested agencies.

Discussion ensued between Chairman Diaz and Mr. Guyamier regarding the 30 day review period and the use of the portal to monitor MOT conflicts.

Responding to Chairman Diaz�s question as to whether the item was appropriately drafted, Assistant County Attorney Dennis Kerbel assured the Board members that the foregoing proposed ordinance was review and deemed legally sufficient by the County Attorney�s Office.

Chairman Diaz clarified the ensuing discussions pertained the item as presented.

Commissioner Heyman voiced her concerns about removing municipalities from the permitting process and noted that numerous municipalities were opposed to the item. She stated that while she recognized the intent of the item, she believed the item could be streamlined to address the cost and delay issues by implementing conditions which would require the municipalities to issue the necessary permits without delay or cost to the County.

Chairman Diaz emphasized the intent of the item was to address excessive permitting costs and delays and recognized the amendment proffered by
Commissioner Regalado would address the cost issues.

Commissioner Heyman indicated her support for the proposed amendments.

Commissioner Sosa contended that the municipalities� objection to the foregoing proposed ordinance may stem from a lack of understanding of the item�s intent, and was based on the urging by the Miami Dade League of Cities to object to the proposed legislation. She pointed out Section 2-103.1 of the County Code required any agency doing work on County property to acquire a permit and questioned whether there were MOUs in place with the municipalities recognizing the County�s jurisdiction on roadway projects.

Mr. Guyamier explained in addition to the MOU to utilize the WASD portal, there were MOUs in place with some municipalities for traffic control projects. He noted the foregoing item sought to offer additional clarification regarding the public works construction and permitting process.

Commissioner Sosa detailed the benefits of the foregoing item and expressed her support for the proffered amendments.

Discussion ensued between Chairman Diaz and Commissioner Garcia regarding the permitting invoices previously referenced by Chairman Diaz.

Commissioner Garcia voiced his concerns about preempting the municipalities from the permitting process and concurred with comments made by Commissioner Heyman about the need to establish parameters to facilitate more collaboration between the County and municipalities.

Responding to Commissioner Martinez�s question as to whether the foregoing item would preempt municipalities from the permitting process, Assistant County Attorney Kerbel clarified that the foregoing proposed ordinance pertained to County facilities and projects.

Commissioner Martinez echoed similar concerns as raised by Commissioners Heyman and Garcia about preempting the municipalities from the process and cited examples in which the County was preempted by the State of Florida.

Assistant County Attorney Kerbel pointed out that the County Charter provided the County jurisdiction over public works construction projects. He noted the foregoing proposed ordinance sought to clarify the existing County Code and rightfully expand the County�s authority.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Martinez and Assistant County Attorney Kerbel regarding the issue of preemption.

Commissioner Martinez stated that while he concurred that the municipalities should not charge for permits, he could not support the item based on the preemptive language.

Mr. Guyamier maintained the item was not preemptive as it related to County projects on County right of ways.

Chairman Diaz reiterated his concerns regarding the excessive permitting costs charged by municipalities to the County to perform necessary work on County owned properties.

Commissioner Hardemon expressed his concerns about removing the municipalities from the permitting process. He spoke about the different policies and standards employed by municipalities for completing public works projects and suggested deferring the item to facilitate additional dialogue as to how to improve the process and address the County�s concerns regarding excessive permitting costs and delays.

Commissioner Monestime concurred with comments made by Commissioner Hardemon and inquired about the fees imposed by the municipalities.

Mr. Guyamier opined the fees were based on the municipalities� internal review process and pointed out the County did not charge a review fee.

Commissioner Monestime recognized the intent of the foregoing proposed ordinance and indicated his support for deferring the item.

Commissioner Higgins concurred with comments made by her colleagues regarding preemption of the municipalities in the permitting process. She contended the item should be rewritten to accurately reflect the intent of the legislation.

Commissioner McGhee stated that while he recognized the intent of the item, he shared his colleagues� concerns regarding preemption and suggested rewriting the item to include language that would require an annual audit of project fees.

Commissioner Garcia argued the foregoing item did not simply address the fee issue and read Subsection D (Page 10) into the record. He indicated his support for deferring the item to clarify the proposed
legislation�s language.

Commissioner Regalado advised her colleagues that the Miami-Dade Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) Department was currently working in conjunction with municipalities with a digital permitting process to embed the County�s �GoldKey� identification into the respective websites and programming. She noted in addition to the digital permitting process, staff was also exploring the possibility of utilizing WASD�s portal to create a single platform to accommodate departmental and municipal MOT comments.

Commissioner Regalado pointed out the proposed amendment was intended to emulate FDOT�s process and maintain municipalities� existing permitting process but limit the review period to 30 days. She stated the proffered amendments would give municipalities the opportunity to work with the County and provide the flexibility to municipalities to charge permitting fees. Commissioner Regalado recognized the need for smaller municipalities to charge a permitting fee due to limited resources and noted the proposed amendment would require an enumeration of the fees imposed.

Chairman Diaz reiterated the item was not meant to preempt the municipalities from the permitting process and accepted the proffered amendments.

Mr. Guyamier noted the permitting comments should be limited to MOT scheduling and traffic conflict issues.

Commissioner Regalado pointed out the review period was limited to 30 days.

Commissioner Garcia argued there were some issues that needed to be better vetted and moved to defer the item to allow additional time to review the language.

Responding to Commissioner Sosa�s question as to whether the foregoing proposed ordinance addressed street closures by cities without County approval, Mr. Guyamier reported the item was not related to those issues.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III requested the proposed amendment be read into the record.

Assistant County Attorney Kerbel advised the proffered amendment would provide affected municipalities a 30 day review period to comment on the permit application.

Chairman Diaz noted the amendment also included a fee component.

Commissioner Regalado clarified the proposed amendment did not eliminate the municipalities� ability to issue a permit but would instead limit the permit period to 30 days.

Chairman Diaz questioned the need for two (2) permits.

Mr. Guyamier reviewed the portal component and 30 day review period.

Commissioner Regalado voiced concerns about switching to the portal and suggested allowing municipalities to maintain their existing permitting structure until all agencies transferred over to the portal.

Discussion ensued among Chairman Diaz, Commissioner Regalado and Mr. Guyamier regarding the 30 day review period and permitting process.

Chairman Gilbert III questioned whether the proposed amendment limited the permitting fees imposed by the municipalities.

Assistant County Attorney Kerbel stated in the event the Board wished to allow the municipalities to charge a fee, the item could be amended to include language which would permit municipalities to impose a reasonable review fee. He clarified the use of the portal was not required and noted the proposed amendment simply provided for the County to present to the municipality a permit application for review and allow for 30 days to review and provide comments.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III indicated his support for the foregoing proposed ordinance and proffered amendments but argued the item still preempted the municipalities� authority by limiting the review period and permitting fees charged.

Chairman Diaz reiterated the intent of the item and his concerns regarding the excessive permitting fees imposed by some municipalities.

Commissioner Monestime stated that while he supported the 30 day review period and establishing a fee structure he was concerned that there was no process in place to allow municipalities to increase their permitting fees if needed.

Commissioner Regalado clarified the proffered amendment provided for the imposition of a reasonable administrative fee and did not cap the amount. She noted the amendment also required the fee be enumerated.

Chairman Diaz indicated his support for establishing a nominal negotiated fee and pointed out the County did not impose a review fee.

Assistant County Attorney Monica Rizo advised the Board members that there was a concept in Florida law which stated fees charged needed to be commensurate to the cost to review. She noted the language proposed by Commissioner Regalado, that a reasonable administrative fee be imposed, was appropriate.

Commissioner McGhee stated he could not support the foregoing proposed ordinance or amendments because he was concerned about the creation of an additional layer of government in the permitting process.

Commissioner Martinez recognized the intent and merits of the item but reiterated his concerns regarding the proposed legislation�s language.

Responding to Commissioner Martinez�s question regarding the municipalities� authority to charge a review fee, Assistant County Attorney Kerbel explained that Florida law allowed governmental agencies to charge for services provided.

Commissioner Martinez suggested including language which would limit the permitting fees imposed by municipalities to an amount permissible by Florida law.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Martinez and Assistant County Attorney Kerbel regarding the appropriate fee language.

Assistant County Attorney Kerbel clarified the original item would not allow any review fees to be charged while the proposed amendment would permit the municipalities to charge a reasonable administrative review fee commensurate with the service provided.

Commissioner Martinez voiced his concerns regarding the impact of the proffered amendment and indicated his support for deferring the item.

Chairman Diaz reiterated the intent of the item.

Commissioner Garcia noted the municipalities had requested a deferral and indicated he could not support the original item nor the proffered amendment.

Chairman Diaz moved to defer the item to the October 5, 2021 Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting to work with the municipalities to resolve the permitting cost and delay issues.

Hearing no further questions or comments the Board proceeded to vote to defer the foregoing to the October 5, 2021 BCC meeting.

  REPORT: County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record.

Commissioner Heyman reviewed the intent of the foregoing proposed legislation and noted the South Florida Police Benevolent Association (SFPBA) supported the item.

Commissioner Higgins inquired about the status of the nominating committee and voiced her concerns regarding the quorum requirement.

Ms. Laura Morilla, Executive Director, Miami-Dade Office of Community Advocacy, advised the Board members that the nominating committee had yet to meet and was still awaiting two (2) appointees from the Interfaith Advisory Board. She noted aside from Commissioner Higgins� direct appointment to the Independent Civilian Panel (ICP/panel), the remaining District Commissioners expressed their intent to also do direct appointments to the panel.

Commissioner Higgins requested the County Attorney�s Office to prepare legislation to address the quorum requirements for the nominating committee.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III voiced his concerns about limiting the appointment of two individuals with the same or similar professions or backgrounds; and proposed waiving the requirement to facilitate the empaneling of the ICP. He acknowledged the intent of the nomination requirement but argued this criteria forced the Board members to make appointments based on profession and individual characteristics.

Chairman Diaz opened the public hearing and the following individuals appeared before the Board:

1. Ms. Susan Khoury, 8227 SW 82nd Place, Miami, Florida, voiced her support for the item so that the ICP could finally be empaneled to serve the community.

2. Mr. Bradford Brown, Secretary for the South Dade Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), 11266 SW 166th Terrace, Miami, Florida echoed the comments made by Ms. Khoury.

3. Mr. Paul Christian, Family Action Network Movement, 100 NE 84th Street, Miami, Florida, read a statement of support into the record.

There being no other persons wishing to speak, Chairman Diaz closed the public hearing.

Commissioner Heyman reiterated the intent of the foregoing item.

Commissioner Hardemon concurred with the comments made by Vice Chairman Gilbert III regarding limiting professions. He argued attorneys offered various views and perspectives and requested clarification as to the number of attorneys currently appointed to the panel; and which attorneys would be allowed to serve in the event the foregoing item was adopted.

Ms. Morilla reported there were currently four (4) lawyers appointed to the ICP and explained in the event the foregoing legislation was adopted, the first two (2) appointed attorneys, Ms. Pamela Perry and Mr. Ruban Paillere would remain on the panel. She noted Ms. Loreal Arscott and Mr. Joshua Jones would not be allowed to serve on the panel if the foregoing item was adopted.

Responding to Commissioner Hardemon�s question, Ms. Morilla advised the Board members that Ms. Loreal Arscott also served on the Commission for Women and the Black Affairs Advisory Board.

Commissioner Heyman pointed out the professional requirements/criteria was applicable to all professions and not limited to only attorneys.

Chairman Diaz recessed the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting until 1:10 p.m.

Following the recess, Chairman Diaz reconvened the BCC meeting at 1:14 p.m. and the following Board members were present at roll call: Chairman Diaz, Vice Chairman Gilbert III, Commissioners Cohen Higgins, Heyman, Higgins, Monestime, McGhee and Sosa.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III reiterated his concerns regarding the limiting of appointments based on professions and proffered a friendly amendment to waive the profession limitation requirement for this term.

Commissioner Higgins proffered a friendly amendment to include language which would require a two-thirds vote by the Board to allow duplicative professional appointments.

Commissioner McGhee indicated his support for the amendment proffered by Vice Chairman Gilbert III.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III voiced his support for the amendment proffered by Commissioner Higgins.

Chairman Diaz stated that while he recognized the intent of the foregoing item, he did not want to stray too far from the intent of the original legislation.

Commissioner Heyman emphasized the importance of ensuring the panel�s composition was diverse in every aspect and accepted the amendment proffered by Commissioner Higgins.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III withdrew his proffered amendment.

Discussion ensued among various Board members regarding the amendment proffered by Commissioner Higgins to require a two-thirds vote by the Board to allow duplicative professional appointments.

Commissioner Sosa stated she could not support the proffered amendment because it would create restrictions in the nomination process and indicated her support for the item as presented.

Commissioner Heyman pointed out the SFPBA supported the item as presented and requested the item be put to a vote, as presented.

Commissioner Hardemon argued the SFPBA should not be the primary voice regarding ICP appointments and indicated his support for the amendment proffered by Commissioner Higgins.

Chairman Diaz noted the intent of the original legislation and the foregoing item was to avoid �stacking� the panel with one particular profession.

Commissioner Heyman pointed out the original legislation was adopted by the Board following extensive public input. She questioned whether changes to the ICP composition and membership criteria could be done procedurally or if a specific amendment to the legislation was needed to effectuate the change.

Assistant County Attorney Shanika Graves explained changes could be effectuated through waivers by ordinance.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Heyman and Assistant County Attorney Graves regarding the impact of the amendment proffered by Commissioner Higgins to the nominating criteria and requirements as outlined in the original item.

Commissioner Heyman stated she would accept the amendment proffered by Commissioner Heyman with a condition that all appointments to the ICP be approved by the Board.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Heyman and Assistant County Attorney Graves regarding the conditions for the amendment.

Commissioner Martinez argued the district commissioners should be allowed to appoint whomever they wanted to the panel and contended the nomination prerequisites were created to prevent �stacking� the panel with police officers.

Commissioner Heyman requested the vote requirement be established as a simple majority.

Chairman Diaz reiterated his concerns about straying from the intent of the original legislation.

Commissioner Hardemon recommended the vote requirement be established as two-thirds of the entire Board.

Commissioner Heyman emphasized her intent was simply to empanel the ICP.

Commissioner Sosa concurred with Commissioner Martinez�s comments about allowing district commissioners the flexibility to appoint whomever they wished to serve on the panel and voiced her concerns regarding the impact of the proposed amendment.

Commissioner Heyman acknowledged the concerns raised by her colleagues and proposed amending the foregoing item to require Board approval of all appointments and the removal of any limitations in the ordinance which would limit the members from any one particular occupation from being appointed to the ICP.

Discussion ensued among Chairman Diaz, Vice Chairman Gilbert III, Commissioner Heyman and County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan regarding the amendment proposed by Commissioner Heyman.

Chairman Diaz, Vice Chairman Gilbert III and Commissioner Martinez expressed concerns about requiring Board approval of the appointees to the panel.

Commissioner Martinez spoke to the difference between nominations and direct appointees and recommended deleting language requiring Board approval.

Commissioner Higgins reminded her colleagues that the nominating committee was yet to convene due to issues with meeting quorum.

Following discussions between Commissioner Heyman and County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan regarding Commissioner Heyman�s intent that the foregoing item allow district commissioners the flexibility to appoint whomever they choose to the ICP without further Board approval or ratification.

County Attorney Bonzon-Keenan advised that the foregoing item would be amended to remove any limitations in the ordinance and the corresponding implementing orders and resolutions, which would limit the members from one particular occupation.

There being no further comments or questions, the Board adopted the foregoing proposed ordinance, as amended.

5. Ms. Ishevaun Gandy, 980 NE 151st Street, North Miami Beach, Florida

There being no other persons registered or appearing to speak, Chairman Diaz closed the public hearing.

Chairman Diaz, Vice Chairman Gilbert III and Commissioners Heyman and Souto indicated their support for the item.

Commissioner Sosa stated she could not support the item because it called for a special election.

Commissioner Martinez spoke about the incorporation process and argued the foregoing item circumvented the process, therefore he could not support the item.

Responding to Commissioner Higgins� question as to what public services would continue to be provided by the County following incorporation, Assistant County Attorney Abbie Schwaderer Raurell explained the item provided for �pre-agreed� conditions of incorporation, specifically that the new municipality stay within the library and fire districts and contract with Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) for a minimum of three (3) years. She noted the �pre-agreed� conditions could be modified with a two-thirds vote of the Board of County Commissioners (BCC/Board) members followed by a vote of the qualified municipal electors.

Commissioner Higgins voiced her concerns about the three (3) year police contract term and asked how it could be changed.

Assistant County Attorney Schwaderer Raurell clarified the current �pre-agreed� condition required the new municipality to contract with the MDPD for a minimum of three (3) years and noted the contract period could be extended if the County and municipality chose to do so. She advised the Board members that the initial three (3) year requirement could be lengthened by amending the foregoing resolution.

Commissioner Higgins recommended the MDPD contract term be modified to require a minimum of five (5) years of service and spoke about the need to improve the incorporation process to provide more transparency and notice to residents, including renters; and not only property owners.

Commissioner Monestime asked whether there had been any other incorporation legislation which required a longer police service term.

Mr. Jorge Fernandez, Deputy Director, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), stated since the incorporation of the City of Miami Lakes, no municipality had been required to keep the MDPD for more than three (3) years. He pointed out that the City of Miami Lakes, City of Palmetto Bay and City of Cutler Bay all chose to continue using MDPD.

Commissioner Monestime voiced his concerns about creating a precedent by increasing the �pre-agreed� term limit from three (3) to five (5) years, as it applied to the MDPD service; and noted all municipalities had the choice to extend the term.

Commissioner Higgins emphasized the importance of a well-established and managed police department and expressed her apprehension about the ability of smaller municipalities to offer such a public service. She pointed out the Biscayne Park Police Department was an example of an improperly managed smaller police department where racist policies went unchecked due to the lack of proper training and management.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner McGhee and Assistant County Attorney Schwaderer Raurell regarding the intent of the foregoing item and the incorporation process.

Assistant County Attorney Schwaderer Raurell reviewed the process for the creation of a Charter Commission and new municipality. She pointed out the twenty percent (20%) consent rule (Section 20-29 of the County Code) regarding the creation of a new Municipal Advisory Committee (MAC) was not applicable in this case because the Biscayne Gardens MAC was created in 2003 and predated the requirement.

Commissioner McGhee asked whether the Board would be voting to create a new tax.

Assistant County Attorney Schwaderer Raurell clarified in the event a new municipality was created, the new millage rate would be set by the new municipality.

Responding to Commissioner McGhee�s question as to voter�s input regarding the public services provided to the new municipality, Assistant County Attorney Schwaderer Raurell revisited the �pre-agreed� condition requirements and process for modifying the terms. She briefly reviewed �most favored nation clauses� and the effect of modifying �pre-agreed� conditions.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner McGhee and Assistant County Attorney Schwaderer Raurell about who would be eligible to vote in the special election regarding incorporation.

Revisiting concerns raised by Commissioner Higgins about the three (3) year minimum MDPD �pre-agreed� condition term, Commissioner Regalado asked if changes to the term period would have to be made prior to the special election if the Board decided to extend the minimum contract period.

Assistant County Attorney Schwaderer Raurell advised the Board members that changes could be made to the foregoing proposed resolution to address the �pre-agreed� terms and conditions.

Discussion ensued among Commissioner Regalado, Assistant County Attorney Schwaderer Raurell and Ms. Christina White, Supervisor of Elections, regarding the need for a special election.

Commissioner Monestime pointed out the foregoing proposed resolution was modelled after other incorporation legislation and voiced his concerns about the timeline for noticing residents.

Commissioner Regalado concurred with the comments made by Commissioner Higgins regarding the MDPD minimum term conditions and stated she would support the item if the minimum contract term requirement was extended to five (5) years.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III questioned the fiscal impact of the incorporation on the County�s budget.

Mr. Fernandez stated incorporation of the area would result in a $3 million net gain to the County.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III stated that while he also agreed that the MDPD minimum contract period should be longer than three (3) years, he believed the issue would resolve itself given the area�s population and the cost of establishing a new police department.

Recognizing the analogy made by Commissioner Higgins pertaining to the size of the Biscayne Park Police Department, Vice Chairman Gilbert III argued the department�s racist policies were unrelated to its size.

Responding to Commissioner Sosa�s question as to who paid for the costs of the special elections, Mr. Fernandez explained that the costs would be funded by the Countywide reserve budget and noted in the event the municipality was created, the County would be reimbursed by the new municipality.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Sosa and Ms. White regarding the cost of the special election.

Commissioner Sosa reiterated her objections to calling a special election due to the cost associated with the process.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

Following the vote, Commissioner Regalado pointed out that the Board had consistently inquired about changing terms and conditions of every incorporation request previously considered without issue and expressed her objections to comments regarding police and race made during today�s (9/1) discussions related to changing the �pre-agreed� conditions of the MDPD minimum term requirement.

Vice Chairman Gilbert argued there were racial issues with the Biscayne Park Police Department, therefore any mention of said police department warranted a comment on race.

  REPORT: Commissioner Martinez stated that while he did not object to the foregoing item, he was concerned about the ongoing costs for maintaining and repairing roofing at the Miami International Airport (MIA), and inquired about the typical roof warranty term.

Mr. Ralph Cutie, Interim Director, Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD), noted most roof warranties were extended for twenty (20) years.

Commissioner Martinez contended the roofing for the North and South airport Terminals should still be under warranty given the date both projects were completed.

Mr. Cutie explained the roof coating applied in 2008 was now failing. He pointed out the coating carried a five (5) year warranty but was not a permanent solution. Mr. Cutie noted the foregoing item would permanently address all the leaks in the terminal.

Discussion ensued between Commissioner Martinez and Mr. Cutie regarding the scope of the work to be performed.

Commissioner Martinez voiced her concerns regarding the amount of money spent on roofing repairs while the roofs were still under warranty and requested Chief Operations Officer (COO), Jimmy Morales and Interim Director for Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD), Ralph Cutie, to prepare and submit a report detailing the amount of money spent in the last twenty (20) years on roofing and roof maintenance costs at MIA.

Mr. Cutie assured the Board members that the foregoing contract was a step in the right direction to curing the existing roofing issues.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolution, as presented.

  REPORT: Commissioner Martinez recognized the importance of the projects funded by the foregoing contracts but voiced his concerns regarding the procurement/ratification process related to the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department�s Consent Decree and Capital Improvement Programs Acceleration Ordinance since it was difficult to regulate or keep track of the projects and expenditures.

Commissioner Regalado acknowledged the concerns raised by Commissioner Martinez but emphasized the importance of completing the projects and compliance with the federal consent decree and Ocean Outfall legislation.

Mr. Roy Coley, Director, Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD), reminded the Board members that the County was subject to extensive fines if predetermined milestones were not met pursuant to the federal consent decree. He reviewed the intent of the foregoing items and the accelerated ordinance, and explained the options available to the Board. Mr. Coley stated there were a number of outstanding projects which could jeopardize the County�s compliance with the current federal consent decree and the Ocean Outfall legislation, and emphasized his commitment to ensuring all milestones were satisfied to comply with the existing consent decree and to avoid the issuance of future consent decrees.

Chairman Diaz thanked Mr. Coley for his detailed explanation regarding the items.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed resolutions, as presented.

Commissioner Martinez stated the foregoing item was identical to the 2009 legislation which yielded a report from the administration and reiterated his request for the item to be deferred to the October 5, 2021 Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting.

  REPORT: Commissioner Heyman acknowledged the intent of the item but expressed concerns about organizing a parade as Coronavirus 2019 Disease (COVID-19) cases continued to increase. She noted the County�s Fire Department also discouraged mass gatherings and suggested the $1 million be allocated for other uses such as providing meals to first responders in lieu of the parade.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins clarified the intent of the item and $1 million allocation. She reiterated it was her goal to host an annual parade to commemorate all first responders and nurses and stated she was amenable to hosting a virtual celebration this year in light of the spike in COVID-19 cases.

Commissioner Martinez referenced the language of the foregoing item and questioned whether the parade would be limited to Commission District 8.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins welcomed input from her colleagues on ways to improve the item and reiterated the goal was to host an annual County-wide parade. She noted the foregoing legislation was an attempt to organize a celebration to commemorate October 28, National First Responders Day.

Commissioner Martinez recognized the merits of the item and opined a monetary bonus may be more appreciated/beneficial to the nurses and first responders. He indicated his support for the item once the language was clarified to remove reference to a specific commission district.

Commissioner Regalado voiced concerns about allocating $1 million for a parade given the current fiscal climate and recommended decreasing the allocation to $500,000.00. She also commented on the ambiguity of the item�s language and suggested amending the item to include a virtual celebration component.

Commissioner McGhee echoed similar concerns regarding the item�s language. He stated he could not support the item based on the proposed allocation amount and indicated his preference that the monies be used to provide financial relief to nurses and first responders instead.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III reiterated the intent of the item and spoke about the importance of recognizing and honoring the sacrifices made by nurses and first responders for the community. He contended the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the fact that nurses and first responders have typically been overlooked and the item sought to remedy this issue.

Commissioner Monestime recognized the merits of the item and stated that while this may not be the best time to celebrate, future parades/events could be marketed to generate revenue for the County.

Chairman Diaz supported the intent of the item and spoke about his experience and the lessons learned in organizing and hosting a parade to honor veterans. He urged the sponsors to collaborate with the administration and different organizations to source sponsorships to help reduce the cost of hosting the parade.

Discussion ensued among various Board members regarding the fiscal impact of hosting parades.

Commissioner Regalado suggested deferring the item to allow the item to be properly vetted on a committee level.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins recognized her colleagues� concerns regarding the cost of the parade and stated it was never contemplated that the $1 million would be spent in its entirety to host the event. She noted however, it was the sponsors� goal to plan an event to commemorate National First Responders Day on October 28.

Chairman Diaz clarified that while the Board members supported the intent of the item, they were hesitant about allocating $1 million to the event.

Commissioner Monestime proffered a friendly amendment requesting the administration to plan and organize the parade and delete the $1 million allocation.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III and Commissioner Cohen Higgins accepted the proffered amendment.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins indicated she would be amenable to hosting the event after October 28.

Commissioner Heyman clarified her concerns regarding the item was based on the ambiguity of the item�s language and indicated her support for item.

It was moved by Commissioner Higgins that the Board waive the Board of County Commissioners Rule 3.01(a) to allow this meeting to be continued past 6:00 p.m. This motion was seconded by Chairman Diaz and upon being put to a vote, passed by a vote of 9 to 0 (Commissioners Martinez, Sosa, Souto and Garcia were absent).

Commissioner Higgins indicated her support for the item as amended; as well as hosting the event on October 28, as originally envisioned.

Assistant County Attorney Monica Rizo stated there were two (2) options available to the Board given the amendment proffered by Commissioner Monestime. She advised if it was the intent of the Board that the item not include a budget, the best option would be to require the administration to return with a report detailing the cost for the parade for the Board�s final approval. Assistant County Attorney Rizo explained the second option would delegate the authority to the Mayor to organize the parade within specific parameters including a budget.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III pointed out the original item contained �not to exceed� language to limit expenditure on the parade.

Chairman Diaz spoke about the challenges associated with establishing a budget and voiced his concerns about requesting a report from the administration given the short timeframe involved in organizing and preparing the event for October 28.

Discussion ensued between Chairman Diaz and Assistant County Attorney Rizo about the possibility of requiring the Mayor�s report be submitted to the Board for consideration at the next Board of County Commissioners (Board/BCC) meeting.

Commissioner Monestime voiced his objections to the amendments/language recommended by the County Attorney�s Office.

Commissioner Garcia inquired about the budget cap for administrative expenditures not requiring Board approval.

Assistant County Attorney Rizo indicated the Mayor�s office had the authority to spend up to $250,000.00 for non-competitive purchases and up to $1 million for competitive purchases.

Commissioner Garcia pointed out the Mayor already had the authority needed to organize the parade and expend the amount needed.

Mr. Jimmy Morales, Chief Operations Officer (COO), commented on the restricted timeframe for organizing the event.

Chairman Diaz requested clarification regarding the amendments before the Board for consideration.

Assistant County Attorney Rizo announced the foregoing proposed resolution would be amended to replace the phrase �...IN COORDINATION WITH AND SUBJECT TO APPROVAL FROM, THE DISTRICT 8 COUNTY COMMISSIONER; AND (B) IDENTIFY, ALLOCATE AND USE LEGALLY AVAILABLE FUNDS IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1,000,000.00 FOR, A PARADE...� with �AND (B) IDENTIFY, ALLOCATE AND USE LEGALLY AVAILABLE FUNDS CONSISTENT WITH THE MAYOR�S DELEGATED AUTHORITY FOR, AN ANNUAL COUNTYWIDE PARADE...

There being no other comments or objections, the Board members proceeded to take a vote on the foregoing resolution, as amended.
