INFORMATION FOR SECOND BUDGET HEARING - FY 2021-22 PROPOSED BUDGET(Mayor)
|
Presented
|
| |
REPORT:
Commissioner Martinez announced he had a potential conflict of interest with portions of Agenda Items C and H because he was a board member of Epilepsy Florida, Inc., and the organization was recommended as a funding recipient from the community-based organizations� (CBOs) grant awards. He recused himself from voting on the portions of the items that addressed the CBOs� awards.
Discussion ensued among the Board members about the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/2022 proposed budget for Miami-Dade County. Commissioner Sosa supported the budget because it addressed many concerns with the County, and she thanked the County Administration and the Board members for their contributions.
Commissioner Cohen Higgins also expressed her gratitude to the County Administration, the Board members, and those members of the public who had attended the meeting to voice their concerns, comments and support. She proposed a floor amendment, which was read by Assistant County Attorney Monica Rizo regarding a lease agreement with the Redland Farm Life School. It was accepted and voted upon by the Board (See Agenda Item E Amended, Legislative File No. 212497).
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan clarified the proposed amendment applied to Agenda Items C, E, and H.
Commissioner Regalado commended the County Mayor for including two line items in the County budget that served neurodivergent children and adults. She also proffered a floor amendment to Agenda Item C to create a reserve in the General Fund for the septic-to-sewer conversion projects, which was accepted and voted upon by the Board (See Agenda Item C Amended, Legislative File No. 212496).
Commissioner Martinez thanked the members of the public who came to speak and voiced their concerns regarding the increased water rates contained in Agenda Item H. He opined that even though the rate increases were small, the item included too many fees, permit costs, and service costs, which were not necessary.
Commissioner Garcia mentioned he did not support the water rate increases included in the budget and indicated approval of the other components, including the increased emphasis on mental health. He also mentioned there needed to be more accountability for CBOs that received funding from the County and suggested future County budgets include higher accountability standards.
Commissioner Hardemon praised Commissioner Monestime for making a motion to include in the budget funding for temporary protected status (TPS) services for Haitians and Venezuelans. However, Commissioner Hardemon did not support funding the Sant La Haitian Neighborhood Center (Sant La) for TPS services because he said the organization had shown administrative irregularities.
It was moved by Commissioner Hardemon that the Board of County Commissioners reallocate the funding allocation included in the budget for Sant La Haitian Neighborhood Center to the Haitian-American Chamber of Commerce of Florida . Vice Chairman Gilbert seconded this motion, and the floor was opened for discussion.
Chairman Diaz expressed his concerns for the reallocation of funds before the Board without having complete information. He recommended the funds be reallocated after the County budget was approved.
Commissioner Monestime defended Sant La and disputed Commissioner Hardemon�s claims as the two commissioners debated the proposed motion.
Upon conclusion of the foregoing discussion, Commissioner Hardemon�s motion was put to a vote and failed by a vote of 1-12 (Commissioners Cohen Higgins, Garcia, Heyman, Higgins, Martinez, McGhee, Monestime, Regalado, Sosa, Souto, Vice Chairman Gilbert, and Chairman Diaz voted no).
After the motion failed, First Assistant County Attorney Gerald Sanchez suggested to Commissioner Hardemon to consult with the Miami-Dade County Office of the Inspector General for guidance on filing a complaint against Sant La.
Commissioners Heyman, Souto, Monestime, Higgins, and Gilbert expressed support for the proposed County budget. They thanked the members of the public, who appeared before the Board to speak, the County Mayor, and the County Administration for their participation.
Commissioners Heyman and Higgins supported the needed increase in water rates and thanked the director of the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department for his assistance.
Assistant County Attorney Rizo read an amendment proposed by Commissioner McGhee to transfer a position from the South Dade Black History Advisory Board to the Office of the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners. The amendment was accepted and voted upon by the Board (See Agenda Item H Amended, Legislative File No. 212555).
Chairman Diaz made a closing statement and commended everyone involved in the development of the budget, including the County Mayor, the County Administration, the Office of Policy and Budgetary Affairs, the Commission Auditors, and the public for providing feedback. He noted the County budget reflected that County employees were well compensated, capital projects were prioritized, and public safety services were fully funded. Chairman Diaz concluded that the budget was responsible, sustainable, and did not increase taxes.
Upon conclusion of the foregoing discussion, the Board members proceeded to vote on the ordinances related to the County�s proposed budget.

REPORT:
Commissioner Regalado proposed an amendment to Item C to create a reserve in the General Fund specifically for septic-to-sewer projects and that any transfer of funds for a different project required a two-thirds majority vote by the Board.
Discussion ensued among the Board members about the proposed amendment. Commissioner Regalado opined the septic-to-sewer projects must be prioritized and she elaborated that the proposed reserve ensured funding would be available for the projects.
Commissioners Garcia and Martinez agreed with Commissioner Regalado.
Commissioner Heyman opined the amendment was not necessary because the language in the item was already clear that funding was secured for the projects.
Commissioner Regalado pointed out that funding had already been reduced for the projects in other meetings, which was why she proposed the amendment.
Commissioner Gilbert, III commented that a simple majority vote would suffice instead of a two-thirds majority vote to transfer funding from the septic-to-sewer projects; and Commissioner Regalado agreed to this change in the proposed amendment.
Commissioner Sosa stated the budget could be amended after it was approved after a more thorough analysis was completed.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava confirmed the amendment would not affect the budget and expressed her support.
It was moved by Commissioner Regalado that the foregoing proposed ordinance be amended. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Garcia and upon being put to a vote, the motion passed by a vote of 13-0.
The community based organizations (CBO) portion of the foregoing proposed ordinance was bifurcated as requested by Commissioner Martinez due to a conflict of interest.
It was moved by Commissioner Sosa that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the CBO recommendations contained in Agenda Item C Amended, Legislative File No. 212496. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Gilbert, III, and upon being put to a vote, the motion passed by a vote of 12-0 (Commissioner Martinez was absent).
County Attorney Geri Bonzon-Keenan read into the record the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance as amended. The amendments were the balance of Item C as outlined in the County Mayor�s September 21, 2021 memorandum and the supplement in the County Mayor�s September 28, 2021 memorandum. Other amendments which she read included Commissioner Regalado�s amendment, Commissioner Cohen Higgins� amendment regarding the Redland Farm Life School, and Commissioner McGhee�s amendment regarding two staff positions at the County Commission�s Black Affairs Advisory Board.
(See Agenda Item E Amended, Legislative File No. 212497 for more information regarding Commissioners Cohen Higgins and McGhee�s proposed amendments)
Mr. David Clodfelter, Director of the Miami-Dade County Office of Management and Budget read the following amendments into the record:
�On page 3, second bullet of the supplement information for Second Budget Hearing Memorandum, the verbiage should read, �I recommend transferring the revenue and expenditure authority from program 2000001594 into program 2000000326 federally funded projects site 3000642 to fund SMART Plan projects.�
