  REPORT: Commissioner McGhee made a motion to reconsider Agenda Item 11A5 Substitute which was approved as amended at the January 19, 2022 Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting and to defer the matter to the February 15, 2022 meeting. Commissioner Martinez seconded this motion.

Discussion ensued between Vice Chairman Gilbert III, County Attorney Geri Bon,zon Keenan and other Board members regarding the procedure of reconsidering an Agenda Item from a previous meeting and the amendments made to Agenda Item 11A5 Substitute during the January 19, 2022 BCC meeting.

County Attorney Bonzon Keenan clarified that Commissioner McGhee�s motion should be considered as two (2) separate motions the first to reconsider 11A5 Substitute approved as amended, and if approved would nullify the Board�s prior action without the amendments. She stated the second motion would be to defer the item to the February 15, 2022 BCC meeting, at which time the item would be before the Board.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III noted he would not have supported the original without the added amendments. He stated unless he was assured that all previous amendments would be placed back onto the item, he could not support reconsideration nor deferral of Agenda Item 11A5 Substitute.

With regard to Vice Chairman Gilbert III�s comments, Commissioner McGhee clarified that the amendments made on January 19th would remain on the item. He pointed out Mayor Levine Cava�s trepidation regarding insufficient amount of time to negotiate, and the item was modified to include an additional time of up to 180 days. Commissioner McGhee indicated that he was not opposed to the maintenance facility being on the site, however more negotiation regarding the terms and the location were needed. He also indicated that he provided information to the Mayor regarding how a maintenance facility would benefit the community, therefore negotiation needed to continue. He noted the mission was to provide economic development and resurrect the portion of the community that had been left out for the past 30 years; based upon the reports Commissioner McGhee advised that he was willing to begin negotiation with 8 acres of land for this project.

Commissioner Monestime indicated he was against discussions regarding negotiation on the Dais. He inquired whether reconsideration of Agenda Item 11A5 Substitute was properly before the Board, and pointed out that the veto (Agenda Item 2A) was the item the Board should be considering.

County Attorney Bonzon Keenan clarified that the veto was the substantive matter that the Board should consider, however a motion to reconsider Agenda Item 11A5 Substitute was properly before the Board.

Addressing Commissioner Heyman�s inquiry Attorney Bonzon Keenan further clarified that the motion to reconsider was procedural and took precedence over the Mayoral Veto.

Following inquiries and discussion regarding Mayor Levine Cava�s progress in negotiating the subject project, Commissioner Cohen Higgins expressed her concern that reconsidering Agenda Item 11A5 Substitute would undo all the amendments and progress made thus far. She indicated that she would consider the motion to reconsider, providing all of the original amendments and a sufficient amount of acreage was included.

Attorney Bonzon Keenan clarified that the motion was now, a motion to reconsider Agenda Item 11A5 Substitute, followed by a motion to approve 11A5 Substitute, as amended to include all of the amendments originally made to the item on January 19, 2022, as well as the additional amendment suggested by Commissioner Cohen Higgins regarding the acreage on the site.

Commissioner McGhee accepted Commissioner Cohen Higgins� suggested amendment.

With regards to Commissioner Cohen Higgins� suggested amendment, Mayor Levine Cava noted that 15 minimum, up to 20 acres will accommodate this project�s needs. She noted that it also be specified that the Department can come back immediately with up to 20 acres, as this project could not be delayed while negotiations were occurring. She opined that if the acreage could be identified expeditiously during the negotiations that would allow flexibility and the matter could be heard at the March 1, 2022 BCC meeting.

Responding to Commissioner Hardemon�s concerns, Attorney Bonzon Keenan explained the portion of the Miami-Dade County Rules and Procedures that dealt with items not subject to a motion to reconsider except at the same meeting referred to the Item that was actually vetoed; therefore if the Board wished to reconsider the item, it was properly before the Board.

Following further discussion regarding the motion to reconsider and whether it was properly before the Board, Commissioner Regalado asked for clarification of Commissioner Cohen Higgins� amendment and how the item could be amended then be deferred.

Commissioner McGhee withdrew his motion to defer, and moved to amend Agenda Item 11A5 Substitute, to include all amendments as approved on January 19, 2022, and the additional aforementioned amendments.

Commissioner McGhee made a motion to reconsider Agenda Item 11A5 Substitute (Legislative File No. 220161) which was adopted as amended at the January 19, 2022, Board of County Commissioners (BCC) meeting. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Martinez and upon being put to a vote, failed by a vote of 3-8 (Vice Chairman Gilbert III; Commissioners Cohen Higgins, Garcia, Hardemon, Heyman, Higgins, Monestime, and Regalado voted no), (Commissioners Souto and Sosa were absent).

Following discussion regarding the mayoral veto and the aformentioned reconsideration, Commissioner McGhee made a motion to override the mayoral veto. This motion was seconded by Chairman Diaz and upon being put to a vote, failed by a vote of 3-8 (Vice Chairman Gilbert III; Commissioners Garcia, Hardemon, Heyman, Higgins, Monestime, Regalado and Cohen Higgins voted no. Commissioners Souto and Sosa were absent).

Following the vote, Chairman Diaz asked the Mayor to provide the records regarding when the BCC voted to place the entity on this project, a copy of the proposed structure at the subject site; as well as all public records regarding this project.

  REPORT: Commissioner Garcia asked for clarification regarding the legal process. He noted the foregoing report was to come back to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) prior to being implemented, however, this report indicated it will return to the Board with an implementation aspect.

Mr. Ray Baker, Director, Miami-Dade County Library explained the intent of the foregoing report, noting the Board had established a policy that the County would recognize a community Identification (ID) card, subject to a report including an implementation plan to be brought back before the BCC. Mr. Baker indicated the forgoing report was in fact, the implementation plan and the direction in the previous resolution was to implement after Board approval. He noted that if the Board accepted this report, his staff would proceed working with Library branches to begin issuing ID�s in the second quarter of 2022.

Commissioner Garcia expressed his concern regarding undocumented individuals accessing these ID�s, he inquired whether or not this ID would have an official county logo on it and how to ensure the individuals obtaining these ID�s were Miami-Dade County residents. He further inquired why a third party vendor was being used as opposed to using county staff.

Mr. Baker responded to Commissioner Garcia�s inquiry, noting that the report indicates the various documents to be submitted to obtain a community ID; these documents submitted would be verified by Library Branch staff and volunteer legal staff. Mr. Baker also noted there would not be a Miami-Dade County logo on the ID.

In response to Commissioner Garcia�s inquiry regarding the protocol to be used to verify the identity of individuals, Mr. Alfredo Ramirez, Director, Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) explained that the ID would not be used for any legal purposes such as driving; this ID would only be used to obtain county services.

Commissioner Martinez indicated that in order to obtain this ID card, people would present their Driver�s License, a passport from any country, a Consular ID card, military ID, a resident alien card or a United States Visa. He inquired if a person had those types of identification, why would they need this ID card; and if the person did not have any of the listed identification, how would they be identified.

Mr. Baker indicated that if a person did not have any identification listed to obtain the card, they could provide the following documents with the applicants name, a deed or lease, a utility bill, a vehicle registration or a statement from a financial institution.

Commissioner Martinez expressed his concern regarding the documents being used accepted to obtain this county ID and the potential for fraudulent activity to occur.

Further discussion ensued between Commissioner Martinez and Mr. Baker regarding the security features of the county ID card and identifying individuals attempting to obtain this ID.

Mayor Daniella Levine Cava noted extensive comprehensive studies had been conducted across the country regarding county ID cards to determine the benefits and successes of implementing a county ID card. She pointed out that this ID would not be used to identify someone that was a suspect of committing a crime, nor would the ID be valid for registering to vote or voting.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III noted this ID did not pose any threat of fraud, it would assist residents in obtaining services; he indicated he was in support of the foregoing report.

Commissioner Garcia indicated he was not in support of the county ID card due to the possibility of fraud and other illegal activities and noted this ID would not make it easier to access county services.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing report.

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

Chairman Diaz opened the Public Hearing.

The following persons appeared before the Board:

Ms. Brie Cokos 780 NW 69th Street Miami, Florida noted she gave a presentation during the last BCC meeting (January 19, 2022) regarding qualifications, her analysis and assessment of the project site at 17571 Old Cutler Road. She noted that she had assessed this property 6 times, three of which with Departmental Staff. She noted she was available to answer questions and had the Power Point Presentation available if needed. Ms. Cokos indicated that she was provided with the supplemental memorandum of Agenda 5G and noted she wanted to address following issues listed on the memorandum:

~Questions were raised regarding the permits that the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued. Ms. Cocos said the plans had been modified to reduce and minimize the impact to resources entirely.

~The FDEP permit the Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) referenced in its previous memorandum had been provided to DERM in 2016. Also, DERM indicated they had not received the USACE authorization for this project; however, the authorization was issued on March 30, 2020.

~The National Marine Fishery Service determination that the project would have no effect on the listed species was provided to DERM on February 21, 2020. Ms. Cokos pointed out this determination was a crucial determination of USACE�s final permit issuance.

Ms. Cokos expressed her concern that the aforementioned items had been provided to DERM but had been somehow lost or not received. She explained that throughout the permitting process, seagrass and underwater habitat was the focus, however upon proving that this was not seagrass habitat, the focus had shifted to adjacent mangroves. Ms. Cokos, indicated that a project has been designed specifically to avoid any impact to the mangroves. Ms. Cokos further explained the concessions that could be written into the conditions of the permit.

Ms. Cokos provided further details of the proposed project purpose via PowerPoint Presentation photos/slides.

Mr. John Dubois 17575 Old Cutler Road, Palmetto Bay, Florida noted he did not agree with the rules of procedure during today�s quasi-judicial proceeding. He indicated that the accompanying substitute to the ordinance did not include complete information, summaries or the appropriate permits. Mr. Dubois reiterated and elaborated on the details the previous speaker, Ms. Coko�s, provided regarding the project. Mr. Dubois referred to photographs which he stated depicted a straight shoreline; therefore this project was shoreline restoration, not filling the Bay. This project was unlike any other Class I fill permit, as no one in recent history has done this for the benefit of restoring the shoreline; the project has been incorrectly characterized as a basin fill project, which it is not. In closing, Mr. Dubois urged the Board to expedite this process and approve the permit.

Chairman Diaz closed the Public Hearing.

With regard to Mr. Dubois� comments regarding rules and procedures, Assistant County Attorney Oren Rosenthal noted that earlier he announced that the public hearing was closed, members of public were not entitled to speak, however board may request more information and additional testimony during the discussion. In fact, Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal pointed out during the last BCC staff presented additional information, which was published on the preliminary agenda one week prior to today�s (2/1) meeting; he noted the applicant had the opportunity to review the information and decide how to address the matters in the supplement. Assistant County Attorney Rosenthal noted everything was done within the Board�s rules and procedures of a quasi-judicial hearing and this item was properly before the Board, allowing any additional testimony was at the discretion of the Board.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins inquired why DERM had recommended denial of this application.

Mr. Lee Hefty Director, DERM Gave a PowerPoint Presentation regarding the subject project and the information in the Supplement. Mr. Hefty noted the applicant wished to restore the shoreline, which is essentially to install a seawall approximately 80 feet into the Bay and to backfill behind it to an upland elevation. Based on requests from the Board at the last BCC meeting, Mr. Hefty noted a supplement was prepared which included the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permits, photographs of the project area and recommended alternatives. He indicated DERM worked with applicants to assist them achieve their project goals while complying with the County�s code. This particular project, Mr. Hefty explained the applicant�s interest was filling a portion on Biscayne Bay; staff reviewed the application based on the County code�s criteria, which was very specific regarding dredging and filling Biscayne Bay. Mr. Hefty noted he reviewed the permits issued by the USACE and the State of Florida and he reached out to both entities to discuss their review process. He indicated there was not anything in this review of these permits that would have changed the staff�s recommendation based on the evaluation of County�s code. Mr. Hefty further explained the review process and pointed out that the application was not consistent with the county�s dredge and fill criteria. He noted the recommendation was for denial of this application.

Further discussion ensued between Commissioner Cohen, Ms. Cokos and Mr. Dubois regarding the permits, the affects to the adjacent mangroves and why staff recommended denial of the application.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins noted this was a difficult application because interests had to be balanced; she noted she was a resident in the subject area and pointed out the lingering odors. She indicated that although she found it persuasive that the State agencies held a different opinion from DERM, it was difficult to challenge their recommendation to deny the application due to the reasons stated in the report. She said it was difficult to move forward with any project deemed by the administration as being in injurious to Biscayne Bay.

Commissioner Cohen Higgins made a motion to deny this application concurrent and consistent with staff�s recommendation. Vice Chairman Gilbert III seconded this motion.

Following Commissioner Cohen Higgins� motion, she read the following into the record:

�During our last hearing I receive a text message from the applicant, when I saw the message I did not read it, this is a quasi-judicial proceeding. I handed the phone to my staff and asked them to send the message to DERM�s staff to keep it as part of their hearing file, and that�s where the text message currently lies. The fact that I received a message outside of the hearing does not affect my ability to be impartial and to make a decision today based only on the record presented before us.�

County Mayor Danielle Levine Cava indicated she also received a text message, which she did not read and forwarded to the County Attorney.

Assistant County Attorney Dennis Kerbel advised that the motion was to deny the application as stated in staff�s recommendation.

Assistant County Attorney Abbie Schwaderer clarified the motion further, explaining that the title of the resolution was a resolution taking action on the Class I permit; the resolution presented is to deny pursuant to staff�s recommendation. Therefore, she noted the motion is to adopt the resolution as drafted which is to deny the Class I permit.

In an effort to prevent deferral of these types of items in the future, Commissioner Cohen Higgins asked that Mr. Hefty include all correspondence and related permit applications in the package so that Board members are able to review these documents prior to the meeting.

Hearing no further questions or comments the Board proceeded to vote on the forgoing resolution.

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

Commissioner Garcia expressed his concern noting this ordinance was difficult to monitor, regulate and enforce; he inquired about who would be responsible for enforcing this ordinance.

Ms. Kathleen Labrada, Assistant Director, Animal Services explained that Animal Services had the authority to enforce the animal noise portion of the ordinance; however the ordinance made enforcement difficult. She pointed out staying at a property for a period of 30 minutes to determine whether animal noise is continuous is a burden, or to be at a property for 3 consecutive days for three 15 minute periods presented further difficulty enforcing this ordinance.

Commissioner Regalado noted the proposed ordinance provisions already existed, and this proposal was an effort to provide clarity. She spoke of the possibility of reporting violations by sending video of the violations.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III noted he was in support of the foregoing proposed resolution, however he did not see this being enforceable in a meaningful way by Police officers. He suggested perhaps allowing Code Enforcement to enforce this ordinance.

  REPORT: Commissioner Regalado explained the intent of the foregoing proposed ordinance. She indicated the municipalities within her District (District 7) were unable to come up with a mitigation plan for peafowl (peacocks); this ordinance removed the countywide protection, to allow the cities to enact a mitigation plan to remove peafowl that were damaging properties and possibly causing harm to themselves. Commissioner Regalado pointed out that she was happy to amend the item to allow other districts to continue with the protection of peafowl. She pointed out that the City of Miami already had a robust mitigation plan for peafowl; the peafowl would be protected by the general animal protection ordinance.

Chairman Diaz inquired whether any peafowl would be harmed during the removal process and how the City of Miami dealt with peafowl/peacocks.

Responding to Chairman Diaz� inquiry, Commissioner Regalado explained the City of Miami had an ordinance that protected peacocks and did not allow them to be moved. She noted the City of Miami dealt with the residents if the peacocks cause property damage and will move the peacocks if the issues were continuous. Commissioner Regalado indicated that the language in this proposed ordinance would prevent other municipalities from adopting their own peafowl mitigation plan. Commissioner Regalado further noted that the City of Miami moved peacocks to different places or to bird sanctuaries.

Further discussion ensued regarding the removal of peafowl protection and how this related to the possibility of peafowls being harmed during the process of removed.

Commissioner Regalado reiterated that currently municipalities were unable to control the peafowl population, peafowl nesting areas, or move peafowl to a sanctuary because the current ordinance did not allow it. The foregoing proposed ordinance would create a sanctuary for all of Miami-Dade County and municipalities could do the same. She opined that residents impacted by peafowl should be able to decide with their municipal city how to deal with this situation. Commissioner Regalado pointed out she was not in favor of euthanizing peafowl, however property owners should have the right to move peafowl and cities should have the ability to come up with a peafowl mitigation plan.

Commissioner Garcia expressed concern regarding the forgoing ordinance, noting that ultimately removing the protection of peafowl/peacocks would lead to euthanizing the birds. He indicated he was not in support of the foregoing ordinance.

Commissioner Regalado suggested amending the ordinance to allow Commissioners to keep the peafowl protection in their districts if they wished to do so.

Cohen Higgins noted she was having difficulty understanding the justification for removing the protection of peafowl, therefore she was not in support of this ordinance.

Commissioner Regalado made a motion to amend the foregoing ordinance to keep the peafowl protection but allow municipalities to opt after providing a peafowl mitigation plan to be approved by the Board of County Commissioners.

Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance as amended.

  REPORT: Chairman Diaz made a motion to make the following amendments to the foregoing resolution:

~on typewritten page 14, the second paragraph under the section entitled �Final Action� of the proposed new and revised Implementing Order IO 8-4 to replace the Clerk of the Board with the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee with respect to the obligation to notify the Risk Management Division of all contracts accepting liability on behalf of the County or requiring the provision of insurance coverage.

~to amend the last paragraph on typewritten page 14 under the section entitled �Competitive Solicitations� to delete the reference to the Clerk of the Board, as the earnest money deposit is to be deposited with the Internal Services Department or successor department and not with the Clerk.

~to amend the enacting clauses on typewritten page four to add an additional section providing that in the event of the failure to meet any of the time requirements set forth in the attached new and revised Implementing Order 8-4, the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee is directed to provide written notice to the commissioner of the district in which the property is located advising of same, including the reasons why the time requirement was not met, and to place a report directly on the next available full Board agenda without committee review advising the Board of the same.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III asked Assistant County Attorney Debra Herman to read the following amendments into the record:

-To amend the first paragraph on typewritten page 10 of agenda item 11A1, to require a 2/3rd vote of Board members present to approve any item for the sale or lease of county owned property that is not sponsored by the district commissioner of the district in which the property is located.

-In the case of sale or lease of multiple properties across multiple districts, when the item is not sponsored by a commissioner of any of the districts in which the properties are located; this 2/3rd vote requirement shall not apply to the lease or sale of certain properties that are considered countywide in nature.

-On typewritten page 6 of the second paragraph in the policy section of the proposed Implementing Order 8-4, add language to clarify that the responsible entity determination shall also include consideration as to whether the individual or entity was previously conveyed or leased real property which has been the subject of an involuntary reverter or lease termination by the county.

With regard to Chairman Diaz� amendment to require a 2/3rd vote of the Board members present to approve county owned property that was not sponsored by the district commissioner where the property is located, Commissioner Hardemon pointed out that could present a conflict of interest and whether another Commissioner could be the sponsor of the item, and not be subject to the 2/3rd vote requirement.

Chairman Diaz agreed with Commissioner Hardemon�s comments and noted it was his attempt to create a mechanism to process these properties in a legal and transparent manner.

Vice Chairman Gilbert III indicated that the amendment he offered, language could be added to indicate if the District Commissioner recuses himself, the item should be processed in a normal manner.

Commissioner Hardemon expressed further concern regarding Chairman Diaz� amendment and to prevent any delays, he suggested adding the following language:

-if the county fails to comply with the time requirements, the District Commissioner could move forward with their request, without waiving any provisions.

Commissioner Hardemon pointed out this would avoid a delay caused by the administration.

Assistant County Attorney Herman clarified the time requirements, noting 30 days for due diligence and another 30 day period to determine responsible entity and ownership.

Chairman Diaz expressed his concern with the time requirements and noted he was waiting for further information from the Commission Auditor. He also indicated that he would accept Commissioner Hardemon�s suggested amendments.

In an effort to remain transparent, Mayor Levine Cava proposed the following change:

-on typewritten page 8, under the Procedure Initiating Action; Application, Property Circulation and Review of Restrictions, on the last paragraph to add new language that the administration must forward any application to the Commissioner prior to any internal discussion with the Internal Services Department (ISD).

Further discussion ensued between Mayor Levine Cava, Chairman Diaz and Vice Chairman Gilbert III regarding transparency and the Administration forwarding applications to the District Commissioner in advance to discussing with the Departments.

In closing Chairman Diaz noted he just wanted to ensure transparency and noted he supported Mayor Levine Cava�s previously stated proposal to forward any applications to the District Commissioner prior to discussion with ISD.

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